The Scourge of the Undead: Starting with Building Monster Farms

Chapter 29, Level 7: Fully Prepared!

"It's not that exaggerated. I'm not a god, at least not yet."

Seeing that the time was right, Su He stopped there and ceased guiding the witch's imagination.

It is enough to quietly plant the seed of the idea that "he is almost a creator" in the hearts of these monsters.

The rest can be planned slowly after he becomes stronger.

Su He raised his hand and dealt with several low-quality ordinary zombies of level three, and soon noticed the difference.

Even though both are at level three, infected zombies drop far more experience than regular zombies.

Infected zombies drop everything that regular zombies would, and may even drop special items that only external monsters would drop.

For example, monster hearts, rotting flesh from the outside world, and broken souls.

Infected monsters are extremely aggressive and not suitable for being contracted, because even after being contracted, their attacks will still be indiscriminate.

Aside from Suhe, they will attack any living creature in their path, even those that have just spawned.

Only when other creatures come into view will these frenzied infected monsters temporarily put aside their infighting and launch a unified attack.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, these infected monsters cannot serve as a reliable source of troops.

For Su He, their main function is to provide a stable source of experience and various rare drops.

Perhaps these infected monsters could have been used as cannon fodder during the previous battle with Eris, but that wouldn't have made much sense.

In contrast, the regular zombies in the monster-slaying area are also endless, and they are more practical because they have stable combat power, are obedient and easy to control.

At the same time, fighting these infected monsters also conveniently avoided the problem he had been worried about.

Those highly intelligent monsters would feel resentment when they saw him slaughtering his own kind.

Aside from some necessary tasks, he could significantly reduce the frequency of farming regular monsters.

After observing the ordinary monsters that spawned in the monster-spawning area for a while, Su He also discovered a pattern.

Even though the upgraded monster-hunting area can spawn higher-level monsters of level three, four, or even five, the probability of spawning a high-potential individual is still relatively low.

After waiting for a full half hour, a zombie of average quality finally spawned in the monster spawn area.

Even so, Su He was still very satisfied with this new monster-hunting area.

This minor drawback is negligible, since the core purpose of the monster-farming field is to produce troops and provide a continuous source of basic troops, rather than to generate high-quality monsters or other high-end combat power.

"Aren't you going back to research that potion? I'll probably be staying here for a while longer before I leave."

"If you're done with your work during this time, go help out at Number One's place."

"The first thing I'll do after I get out of here is go over there."

"Okay... okay, then I'll go and study it first, and then I'll go to their side, my master."

The witch hadn't fully recovered from her initial shock. After hearing the instructions, she turned and left to prepare for the work to come.

Su He stayed in the monster-hunting area for an entire day, only leaving when the sun slowly rose the next morning.

Zombie Number One and the Witch arrived at him immediately and reported the situation in the Drowned Monster Farm.

Specifically, while he was busy preparing for the upgrade these past few days, a fight broke out in the Drowned Monster Farm.

Without players intentionally luring monsters to attack each other, it is extremely rare for monsters of the same type to fight each other.

The explanation given by Number One is that a creature with advanced intelligence has spawned in the Drowned Monster Spawning Area and has clashed with the original Level 7 Drowned Monster's subordinate.

Each of the two drowned has a companion, and the monster-spawning area is only so big. Once the two intelligent drowned have a disagreement, they will naturally fight each other.

"How is the newly born intelligent drowned zombie doing now? What's its level? If nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't be able to defeat that level seven drowned zombie."

Su He looked at Zombie Number One, and Zombie Number One's answer was exactly what he expected.

The newly hatched drowned was no match for the level seven drowned. Moreover, according to Zombie Number One, the level seven drowned won with exceptional ease, completely defeating the newly developed intelligent drowned in a single move.

However, the level seven drowned corpse did not kill the enemy. It merely glanced around to make sure it had not attracted the attention of any other beings, then turned and returned to its usual corner, ignoring the defeated newborn drowned corpse.

"So that newly born intelligent drowned zombie is still alive?"

Zombie Number One nodded, confirming the matter.

After a moment's thought, Su He looked toward the direction of the Drowned Corpse Farming Area.

As he looked into the arena, he noticed a gaze fixed intently on him from the depths of the monster-hunting area.

The owner of that gaze was none other than the Level 7 Drowned Corpse.

At this moment, it held a trident that faintly glowed with lightning in its hand, its gaze fixed on the spot where he was, pressed against the glass.

"He came, just as I was preparing to run away. It turns out he had been watching me all along."

"That reckless guy might be right... I should have agreed to his plan that day and run away with him."

The strange drowned corpse was muttering to itself, pondering its previous decision, when suddenly the impatient voices of its own kind came from behind it.

"What are you waiting for, our king?"

"Don't tell me you've changed your mind and we have to wait another day! I don't want to be trapped in this transparent cage any longer, not even for one more day!"

"When you defeated me, you said that the longer we stayed here, the less chance we had of escaping, and that you would soon take us away from here!"

The newly born intelligent drowned zombie also held a trident in its hand, its eyes fixed on the back of the strange drowned zombie, as if it would throw the trident the next second if the other party said even the slightest thing that displeased it.

After a moment's thought, the strange drowned turned around and spoke to the newborn drowned in a firm tone.

"No, I will lead you out of here, and today."

"But after you leave here, I hope you can relearn how to communicate with stronger people."

The newborn drowned corpse fell silent, and its previous aggressive momentum dissipated considerably.

Upon hearing that the strange drowned corpse was confirmed to be escaping that day, it silently began to methodically prepare for its escape.

On the other side, Su He, who had already reached level seven, did not rush into the monster-hunting area to contract the level seven drowned zombie. Instead, he pulled Zombie No. 1 and the witch to busy themselves with other things.

This place is relatively far from the drowned monster spawning area. Su He took out a new blueprint, gestured towards the direction of the monster spawning area, and then nodded and spoke.

"That should ensure everything goes smoothly."
