The main idea of the whole test was to see if I could gather resources at immense speed, thankfully it seems that my hope has come true. I suppose the only problem with this plan would be the lack of tools once they burn through the ones they can hold, 3 pickaxes to be precise. One in each hand and one on their back, held using the necks of their shirts. I think that two Stone and 1 Iron Pickaxes would be enough for now, I've yet to teach them on the differences between ore and stone so i'm just having them bring everything back, 8 doing the mining and 8 doing the carrying back and storing things in chests. Bruce would oversee the whole thing to make sure not a lot of Zombies died from casualties like falling gravel and lava lakes.
This should turn out pretty good.

Maybe I should do some fishing?
The loot you can get from it definitely wouldn't make sense in the real world, or even the requirements to fish either. Fish don't infinitely come from a pond or even just a bucket of water. Speaking of buckets, they seem to be some kind of extra space thing like the chests where they can fit more space than is possible. The process of picking up water is pretty simple, just a scoop through it and the "block" is put into the bucket. The way to get it out is just to flip it upside down and the water will just pour out continuously until the whole "block" is poured out. I don't think the water will stop my fall from death and i'm definitely not willing to jump of something that high to test it, I do have my Vaulting Boots so it would be a pointless risk.
I did decide to postpone the taking down of the watchtower as mining and arming up my troops seems more important right now than some conspiracy about another possible army of players. Probably.
I do need a way to spend my time besides testing stuff out and managing my troops while my leg heals. Fishing is pretty relaxing, little resource consumption and possible big rewards like Enchanted Books. I am interested in the Enchanting Table as well, when I eventually get Diamonds from the mining operation I do plan on making that. I dont really want to make diamond armor except for a helmet and maybe a chestplate, I cant wear the boots and the pants are too restricting for my style of fighting. Aka running fast and using my Generals to catch up and destroy them. The Tempests were a bit of a special case as I had to come to them but with some future planning they should pose no trouble in the future. Also, can I get a description of Raids from you System?
[Raid]
[Description:Groups of enemies from a certain Faction. Has a hierarchy of groups ranging from Squads to Field Armies. They can either be summoned by certain prerequisites or can be initiated by entering the territory of that Faction.]
It seems like that it doesn't feel like revealing the rest of the levels of groups to me, only the lowest and probably highest if the names are anything to go by. A squad is what I faced and that did have some leaders, the Tempests, so I'm going to presume that it's going to continue with their King being the leader of the Field Army. This is promising and pretty dangerous at the same time, promising in the fact that they give a lot of EXP but dangerous if the King is a player that has conquered the Faction for themselves. If they had a Class like mine that would probably be the worst scenario as they might become enraged from me taking out their long time companions, they must have been here for a long time if they've gathered enough forces to become a Faction. Can I become a Faction?
[Inquiry Accepted, Requirements not met.]
I don't suppose you could tell me the Requirements?
[Inquiry Denied.]
That would spoil some mystery I guess.
Anyway, I do plan on doing some fishing eventually but I just thought of some better stuff to do.

Currently I was doing some kind of yoga class with Megumin, we were trying to get her Clone to feel the muscles in the arms of a Zombie. It was going moderately well as some intentional arm twitches were succeeded but nothing to big like some finger curls. We decided to have a bit of a routine with this if nothing else is going on, blending in with others is like half her Class after all. She was already on her way to master the more showy side of it after all if her joy on explosions says anything.
I decide to meet up with Metagross after to check on how he was doing with his more unique Skill. I meet up with him soon at the place he usually hangs out in, the garden. Must be related to how Iron Golems like poppies and how their supposed to be the gentle giants of the Villagers. Speaking of them I should definitely go out on Kaminari one day with a compass, to point me back, and see if I can find a village. I don't expect for them to speak much but having something similar enough to human contact would be pretty nice, wrecking their economy by buying stacks of emeralds using sticks would also be pretty sweet. I will be seeing if I can exploit the Librarian Villagers having Enchanted Books and buying a dozen of every Max Level Enchantment with my previously mentioned ill-gotten emeralds.
Anyways.
Metagross demonstrated his new Skill with no small amount of pride, I can see why Kaminari and him don't get along. They are both powerful mobs and having them gain much more power then before didn't really help. The Skill was activated and his previous robust arm seemed to swirl with a kind of fleshy substance being shifted around, soon enough the swirling stopped and the new form of the arm appeared. The arm appeared much more slimmer and ended instead with three prong like limbs poking out, I take it in and get Metagross to grapple a nearby fence with it. The droopy arm lashes out with inhuman, I guess in-Iron Golem but that doesn't roll of the tongue as well, speed and the three prongs wrapped around and continued until all the "limbs" of the fence were wrapped up tight. I looked at the arm and poked it, it wobbled like a guitar string but was definitely made of metal as it was cold. This was still a pretty big weakness though as some enemy could just swoop by and snap this in half, two answers to this problem came to mind. Get closer to the target to shorten the length of the weakness and even eliminate it entirely if Metagross gets right next to the target. The other would be to work on END, it would probably strengthen the arm as it was still apart of Metagross but just slimmed down and manipulated. The getting closer thing would backfire if the target broke free and the END boost might not work as this was caused by a Skill. I am leaning towards the END boost as it was pretty much the thing I was going for anyways and if Metagross got closer to the target he might as well be asking to die, most target I would consider strong enough to use this on would be Bosses that require all my Generals to take on.
I release Metagross from my test and continue plottin-, planning for the future.

Authors Note:Not as bad time wise but still kind of cutting it close with 30 min left, I suppose it might be past that by the time everyone else reads it though. Whatever, this is totally still daily. I did forget to address the reviews last time but here they are now.
Reviews:
ShadowKing214:Thanks for the compliments about the character building and the idea of the undead mining force prediction. Not much to say here except for all the thanks for the continued support.
Guest:Thanks for compliment and I plan to for a while. Probably.
