Strategy game? Then I'll have to control you properly.

"Should we choose one from these?"

Lillie watched as Lin Miao picked up the mage's staff without hesitation.

That was the choice Lin Miao made to break through the limits of her own abilities.

After choosing the mage class and completing the job change, Lin Miao couldn't help but laugh as he watched Lillie's actions on the other side of the screen.

After all, Lillie has only practiced swordsmanship since awakening as a warrior, so choosing the knight class may have been her destiny.

"Power is surging into the sword! This is..."

When she grasped the greatsword, the power contained within it instantly flowed throughout her body.

This is completely different from simply popping up a job change interface.

For her, changing jobs was like learning the skill "Power Strike" back then—a strange experience where magic was forcibly distorted.

"Well……"

Seeing her flustered appearance, Lin Miao nodded reassuringly.

This seemed to work; Lillie quickly regained her composure amidst the strange aura enveloping her.

"That's enough for today." Lin Miao then exited the game and sent Lillie back to the village.

Even though several hours had passed, Lin Miao and Lillie, who had just experienced a major turning point, did not realize how quickly time had passed.

"Finally, something's done."

Although this was not an ordinary game, Lin Miao had never experienced such a strong sense of accomplishment while playing games, a literal feeling of having accomplished something.

Of course, this is only the first chapter out of a game with a total of eight chapters.

Although many changes have occurred, the overall framework is unlikely to change.

Lin Miao estimated that a game that others could finish in two days if they played seriously might take him more than a month.

This is not surprising, because the game provides far more than just a sense of accomplishment. Even Lin Miao felt this way, so Lillie's experience was probably even stronger.

You can understand it just by looking at her expression at the very last moment.

What is she doing?

Lin Miao sat down in front of the monitor with some snacks, watching Lillie frantically searching her body in front of the villagers who were welcoming her, and couldn't help but wonder.

Her reaction was as if she had lost something. The knight's longsword she had captured and the elemental bottle she had prepared were still on her, so what was she looking for that made her so anxious?

"Oh, could it be...?"

While chewing on a cookie and watching, Lin Miao suddenly had a thought.

The gold coins he picked up from the ruins during the game.

Lin Miao couldn't take it at the time, but Lillie did stuff the gold coins into her pocket.

"It should have been right there!" she cried, ultimately failing to find the gold coin she wanted.

"So, non-item items really can't be taken out?"

Although I haven't done detailed testing, it seems that not everything you get in the game world can be brought to the desktop.

Minecraft has no restrictions because everything in the background is an item, but Dark Souls is obviously different.

However, the castle controlled by the demons of the Undead Asylum is also filled with a lot of gold and silver treasures. If they could really take them out, they would have already emptied it all out.

Seeing her dejected and disappointed look, the villagers, unaware of what was going on, comforted her.

Although Lin Miao also felt it was a pity, she was not overly attached to it.

There will be plenty of opportunities to earn that extra income in the future; there are more important things to do now.

Achievement Points: 6000P

Lin Miao checked the number of points she currently held through the system.

You will receive a total of 6000P as a reward for completing Chapter 1 for the first time using Lillie.

This is the result of careful budgeting and maximum savings. With a little more savings, I can activate the desktop destruction feature that costs 1 points.

Although its actual power has not yet been verified, if the desktop destruction is really that powerful, then we have another reliable method, which will give us a lot of peace of mind.

"When will I ever save enough money?"

However, there were still things to do before that. The sooner the unlocking was completed, the more efficient it would be, so Lin Miao had to use up the points she had painstakingly accumulated once again.

Unlock Dark Souls Phase Two

[Increase the number of deployed personnel]

[Activate Hunting Mode]

"Is this a new feature?"

Lin Miao sipped his coffee, confirming the new feature unlocked with points. Just as he expected, the number of deployable characters in the game had increased.

Most importantly, an additional feature built into the game—the Hunting Mode—has been unlocked.

As the name suggests, the Hunting Mode is used to hunt monsters that appear in the game.

You can ignore the storyline and grind monsters to get rewards, which can then be used to advance the main storyline.

Newly deployed personnel cannot enter story mode, but they can immediately awaken their class and undergo adaptive training in hunting mode.

"—!?"

To do this, Lin Miao first dragged Attila, who was working in the first game, onto the desktop using the mouse.

Attila looked panicked, and with Lin Miao holding him by the back of the neck, he fell to the ground in the center of the village with a thud as the mouse dragged him.

While Attila does need leadership skills to control the villagers, given the many experienced players in the first round of the game, there shouldn't be any major problems even if he temporarily leaves the game.

"Lillie, Attila, there's one spot left."

There are two new deployable personnel. One of the positions should indeed be filled by Attila, who has awakened the mage trait, but the remaining vacancy must be filled.

Lin Miao knew very little about the world in which the residents lived, but after witnessing Lillie's fighting prowess, she understood how important warriors with extraordinary powers were.

Whether it's a hostile tribe, an invading entity, or a game monster, defeating these beings requires immense and sufficient power.

Therefore... we must prioritize expanding our combat strength whenever we have the opportunity.

This was one of the strategies Lin Miao devised for them.

Lillie (Daughter of the Chieftain)

【Traits: Knight (Growth Rate 1%), Leadership (Potential)】

【deploy:-】

Lin Miao carefully examined Lillie's information.

While resting in the village, she has completed a stage of growth, and her trait name has even changed from "Martial Arts" to "Knight". Screenshot software can also be used to view detailed information including growth rate.

This shows that their characteristics clearly represent their potential.

When Lin Miao used the capture app to view the newly joined villagers, she discovered a person with rare potential characteristics.

Rose (the orphan girl)

[Trait: Short Sword Technique (Potential)]

This is a girl with short black hair, helping others with chores in a corner of the village.

If the traits possessed by these immigrants appearing on the computer desktop are truly potential abilities that only they can see, then Rosie's short sword technique trait is extremely rare.

Among all the unawakened potential traits, she is not a vague trait like superhuman strength or agility, but the only one that is directly related to martial arts.

How can we wake him up?

Watching Rosette help process the leather with the other children, Lin Miao fell into deep thought.

Since only I can see their potential, it is my responsibility to guide and help them develop that power.

Lin Miao fiddled with the mouse and opened a browser window.

Although others could not possibly understand his current predicament, Lin Miao vaguely felt that the answer might lie in the currently activated game items.
