005 The Blueprint of the Undead Mine
For the three newly transformed fourth-tier undead, Karen focused chiefly on the Ghost Shadow Panther, transformed from the Dark Moon Shadow Panther. After all, it was the strongest of the three, and in life it had made him suffer terribly.
...

...
This was the Ghost Shadow Panther’s status: simple, brutal, with none of the many flamboyant and complicated skills of those gaudy undead.
Yet it was precisely those few brutally straightforward skills that made this Ghost Shadow Panther so terrifying. When it was still alive, it had nearly killed Karen several times. Now that it had been converted into undead, its strength had not diminished in the slightest; if anything, it had become even more frightening.
If Karen had encountered the undead version of the Ghost Shadow Panther before, he guessed he would have been killed instantly.
But now the Ghost Shadow Panther was one of Karen’s undead subordinates, and the stronger it was, the happier Karen naturally felt.
After checking the Ghost Shadow Panther’s attributes, Karen also took a look at the other two fourth-tier undead. Compared with it, the other two were rather ordinary.
Neither possessed any especially remarkable combat skills, though both had one thing that caught Karen’s attention.
They both actually retained special skills. The undead transformed from Ute possessed the skills [Vein Seeking] and [Mining Mastery], while the undead transformed from Flor’s butler possessed [Commercial Negotiation] and [Estate Management].
Clearly, these skills had been inherited from their former lives, and that greatly interested Karen.
“An undead transformed from a corpse can inherit the skills it had in life. This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing, apart from Iron Bone. Is it because they’re fourth-tier undead? Or because this is a fourth-tier territory?
“If it’s the former, then the surprise isn’t all that big. But if it’s the latter, and I now have the ability to let transformed undead retain the skills they had in life, then this surprise would be enormous indeed.”
Karen narrowed his eyes, a bold idea taking shape in his mind.
Still, he did not rush off to test it. Instead, he first opened his Territory Shop and used the two random item draws and the two guaranteed prize draws he had obtained.
...
Ding, you have randomly obtained an item catalog: Bone Staff!
Ding, you have randomly obtained an item catalog: Bone Armor!
Ding, you have used the shop draw function and obtained a blueprint: Undead Mine!
Ding, you have used the shop draw function and obtained an item: Bonded Core (Weapon)!
...
As the four system prompts sounded, the attributes of the four items appeared before Karen.
...

Karen examined the four items.
His luck was quite good; all four were excellent. If the first two items were widely distributed, they would certainly greatly enhance the combat strength of his undead army, especially the Bone Armor.
He immediately bought one set of the armor to test it. With 1,000 durability, it was roughly equivalent to a full-powered strike from an ordinary fourth-tier combatant. That level of defense was already very strong. If his undead troops had worn such armor during the siege of the Dark Moon Shadow Panther, they would not have suffered such heavy losses, and might even have taken it down without a single casualty.
So, after verifying the Bone Armor’s defensive power, Karen immediately spent 510,000 territory energy to buy 1,700 sets, equipping every undead under his command above the second tier.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also spent another 250,000 to purchase Bone Spears and Bone Shields for them.
After this round of spending, Karen’s territory energy had dropped from a little over two million to around 1.4 million.
Still, the money was well spent. By now, the core second-tier undead force under Karen could be said to be fully armed: Bone Spears, skeleton bows, and Bone Staffs for offense; Bone Shields and Bone Armor for defense.
Add to that the undead’s fearless style of fighting, and Karen’s undead army was enough to stand against all of Moon Worship City’s standing forces.
After finishing the undead armament, Karen turned his attention to the remaining two items.
As for the Bonded Core, he simply tossed it to Little Green.
Karen was somewhat biased. Whenever he got something good, the first person he thought of was always Little Green, who had been with him the longest and had always fought on the front lines.
Little Green, after receiving the Bonded Core, was overjoyed. Instead of using it right away, he carried it proudly around the entire territory to show off, as if he wanted every undead in the territory to know that he, Little Green, was the most favored undead of all.
In the end, he angered Alice, who snatched the Bonded Core away and nearly took a bite out of it. Only then did Little Green finally settle down.
After watching with a smile as Little Green was thoroughly put in his place by Alice, Karen then used the last item: the Undead Mine Blueprint.
After obtaining permission to construct the Undead Mine, Karen spent another 10 territory energy to select a mine within his territory and begin construction.
However, just like the Bone Tower, the Undead Mine required three days to build.
For those three days, Karen would not be able to see what this so-called Undead Mine was truly capable of.
