Chapter 52

The Money-Grubbing Handsome Guy Hovering Overhead [Please Collect and Recommend]

This chapter has an AI-assisted English translation. Quality may vary between chapters.

Believe it or not, Zong Shen actually discovered quite a few good things.

There was even a special race building of the purple grade, on the same level as the Moon Well.

【Frenzied Axe Warrior Barracks Construction Blueprint】

【Quality: Rare (Purple) Special Beast Race Building】

【Requirements: Mithril ×50, Advanced Magic Pattern Stone ×5, Intermediate Elemental Crystal ×20, Intermediate Earth Rune ×5, Intermediate Dark Rune ×1, Tier 3 Warrior Training Manual ×1】

【By spending a certain amount of resources, basic farmers can be trained into Tier 3 soldiers, Frenzied Axe Warriors】

It was actually a barracks construction blueprint that could directly train Tier 3 soldiers.

One must know that Wolf Cavalry are actually only Tier 2 cavalry-type warriors.

Only the Night Huntress and the two mages belonged to the Tier 3 unit category.

The value of this construction blueprint was evident.

However, the required materials were not so easy to gather.

The seller directly requested an exchange for ten Tier 3 soldier recruitment scrolls.

Or fifty pieces of blue-quality equipment.

Or other blueprints of equivalent quality.

At this stage, it was likely that no one could satisfy these conditions.

Still, Zong Shen sent a private message to the seller just for the sake of chatting.

He indicated that he could trade using 【Tears of the Moon Goddess】.

Besides this, Zong Shen also found many other good things.

Among them were quite a few interesting blueprints and practical items.

It was just that the current initial state of the 【Market】 was still very primitive.

The rules were not yet perfect, and the value system was chaotic.

It was actually not very suitable for buying things there.

Zong Shen sent private messages to several sellers he was interested in, preparing to try his luck.

In the entire 【Market】, Zong Shen did not see many equipment-type items.

It seemed that equipment was in high demand.

Let alone green and blue equipment.

Even white ones were rarely seen.

What surprised Zong Shen the most was that potions and spring waters with similar effects to 【Tears of the Moon Goddess】 had already begun to appear on the market.

The quantity was small, but it was a sign.

It indirectly showed that the development progress of other lords was also steadily improving.

【Spring of Vitality】

【Restores 0.3 HP per milliliter】

【Primary Health Potion】

【After consumption, lasts for one minute, restoring 1.5 HP per second】

……

There were not many such recovery items in the entire market.

Only a few sparse types.

Each one was listed for the price of hundreds of basic resources.

The overall market price not only did not weaken but had actually strengthened to a certain extent.

An increase in development progress meant an increase in exploration progress.

Combat was inevitable.

HP recovery items would only become more and more popular.

Zong Shen looked around the 【Market】 and gained a certain understanding of the current market conditions.

So, he listed two more 40ml bottles of 【Tears of the Moon Goddess】.

One for 200 hemp.

One for 100 wood and 100 stone.

He would solve the most urgently needed supplies first.

Now, Zong Shen was finally free.

After all, having fought all morning, he was somewhat exhausted.

The farmers around were holding small iron hammers, "clinking and clanging" non-stop.

As time passed, the construction progress of these buildings was steadily improving.

Zong Shen turned and walked into the small hut.

He lay on the broken bed, closed his eyes, and rested for an hour.

Since becoming a lord, his life had always been so busy and fulfilling.

Compared to before, every bit of effort he put into this world would eventually translate into the strength of himself and his territory.

It could be said that here, you truly reap what you sow.

Zong Shen stretched, turned over, and sat on the edge of the bed.

According to his plan, he was preparing to carry out the territory expansion mission.

To expand the territory to an area with a radius of one thousand meters.

Do not underestimate this one-thousand-meter radius.

That would be a circular territory with a radius of 1000 meters.

Converted into territory area, that would be 3,140,000 square meters, equal to 3.14 square kilometers.

During the nights of the next two days, he could safely send out hunting parties to hunt those beasts that suddenly appeared at night.

However, after the expansion, he would be attacked by ten random hostile targets within a five-kilometer radius.

Zong Shen's main force was currently bringing the five farmers of the unlucky lord back to the territory.

At present, the only ones in the territory capable of fighting were Luna, Tie Zhu, and himself.

Of course, the dwarf uncle might count as one, but looking at his drunken appearance, Zong Shen really dared not place his hopes on him.

"I want to carry out the territory expansion mission; is now a suitable time?"

He simply asked his strategy module directly.

(At this moment, a money-loving handsome guy with wings on his back is circling in the sky above you. If you don't want to turn into roasted meat, it is best to wait patiently for a few hours.)

"A money-loving handsome guy with wings on his back...?"

Zong Shen was speechless...

He had already guessed what this was.

"Fine, then let's put it aside for now..."

Zong Shen got up, walked out of the lord's hut, and came to the 【Market】.

The two bottles of 【Tears of the Moon Goddess】 listed half an hour ago had all been successfully sold.

Zong Shen extracted 200 units of hemp, 100 units of stone, and 100 units of wood.

It seemed that there were quite a few wealthy lords out there.

His reserve of basic resources became abundant once again.

At the same time, there were still a large number of private messages that Zong Shen had not had time to deal with.

He listed two more bottles of 【Tears of the Moon Goddess】, still exchanging for those basic resources.

One listed for 100 hemp and 60 iron, the other for 100 stone and 100 wood.

He directly consumed 80 units of stone, 73 units of wood, and 24 units of hemp to repair the dilapidated lord's courtyard.

After gathering the materials, Zong Shen personally took the construction hammer and began to hammer away.

Half an hour later, the entire courtyard looked brand new.

The dilapidated hut was fully repaired.

The damaged green brick wall was restored to its original state.

The originally wobbly courtyard gate became sturdy and solid.

The entire courtyard was finally presentable.

Zong Shen clapped his hands.

During this time, Zong Shen also repeatedly asked the strategy module.

The money-loving handsome guy circling overhead had still not left.

"Our territory is so poor, this guy shouldn't be interested..."

Zong Shen looked up, wanting to see something through the clouds, but unfortunately, he gained nothing.

At this time, the dwellings and sheds had all been completed.

The fertile fields had also been reclaimed, and wheat seeds had been sown.

Only those buildings that took longer to build were still under construction.

These farmers who were now free, under Zong Shen's supervision, started going out to gather resources one after another.

Zong Shen sat at the entrance of the courtyard.

He opened 【Manufacturing】.

He found 【Iron Axe】 and 【Iron Pickaxe】.

After consuming 50 iron, 30 wood, and 30 hemp.

Zong Shen spent half an hour making five of each, preparing them for the newly joined farmers.

The durability of iron tools was very high; after using them for a whole day, the durability only dropped by half.

Two hours passed just like that.

It was now past 2 PM, and the expansion mission could not be done for the time being.

Zong Shen prepared to finish the mission for the Demon Hunter, Altland Windrunner, first.
