After seeing Cao Xing come in, everyone stood up
“Oh! Lord, you are back, come and have a drink with Bronn!”
The bearded Bronn held up his wine glass and said drunkenly: “Assam is almost dying, and no one will drink with me anymore!”
However, Assam opposite him was a little red in the face, but his body was still as stable as a rock.
On the other hand, Bronn himself almost crawled under the table.
Cao Xing smiled and said: “Okay, the things here have been done, now it’s time to return.”
After hearing this, Bronn blew the mustache at the corner of his mouth and stood up, “Okay Assam, I admit that your drinking capacity is indeed very strong.”
“But next time, I will drink you down.”
After Assam heard this, a faint smile appeared on his resolute face.
Cao Xing went straight to the bar and paid for today’s consumption for them.
Total consumption was 847 kronor.
Considering Cao Xing’s assets, this amount of money is basically insignificant.
Then, they walked out of Zhuolan Tavern with happy faces.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.
The group of people walked out of Hog Village in a mighty manner.
Baymax and Frostwolf are still waiting outside.
Seeing Bron’s drunken appearance, Cao Xing was really afraid that he would hit a rock while on the road.
Shaking his head, he took out a sleigh for four people from his backpack.
He hung the sled rope on Dabai.
Cao Xing ordered: “Assam, put Bron up, and Lucky, and you sit up too.”
Hearing this, the newcomer Lucky gave the others a tentative look.
Seeing that they didn’t say anything, he cautiously got on the sleigh.
Then, Cao Xing directly ordered: “Let’s go back!”
Boom! Boom!
Dabai moved his thick elephant legs and dragged the sled all the way.
Bron and Lucky, who were sitting on the sleigh, kept making exclamations.
“Holy gods! How can this mammoth run so fast?”
“I…I’m a little dizzy…”
Lucky clutched the wooden handle of the sled tightly, his pupils gradually turning white.
Bronn also said vaguely: “Oh! By the gods! Dabai, please run slower, you will almost knock out what I ate last night!”
After saying this, Bron spit it out directly.
“vomit!”
Riding a sled is not as easy as riding a mount.
With Dabai’s terrifying running speed, a slight bump could knock their hearts out.
Seeing Bron’s embarrassed appearance, Assam, Andrew and others couldn’t help laughing.
However, everyone ignored him.
Who told this guy to drink so much even though he is not good at drinking.
While rushing on the road, Cao Xing also thought about it secretly.
Today’s goals are to explore the Tomb of Ascalon, kill Fanglong, and find the spiritual spring water.
Almost all done.
Now that a bartender has been recruited, the recruitment function in the tavern can also be used.
However, this time he did not find the blacksmiths, doctors and other talents he wanted.
As for the Moses grass that Old Mel mentioned, no relevant clues have been found.
Cao Xing shook his head, “Let’s think of other things tomorrow. It’s too late today.”
Boom! Boom!
Dabai continued to run wildly.
With its current speed, it only takes ten minutes to get back to the territory.
After a while, they arrived near the territory.
From a distance, Cao Xing saw that his territory had changed again.
A quarter of the city wall was built to a height of four meters from the original three meters.
The number of elemental arrow towers has also increased to 20, plus there are 5 aqua-blue frost arrow towers and several sentry towers nearby, which are full of deterrence! Just from the first glance, you can tell that the defensive capabilities of this territory must be very strong.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, it’s true that there are more people and more power, and the construction speed is too fast!”
Now he has dozens of polar people and other territorial people under his command, totaling more than fifty.
With the efforts of so many people, his territory can be said to be changing every day! Soon, they arrived at the foot of the city wall.
After recognizing Lord Cao Xing’s identity, the iron gate opened automatically.
Young Lucky, like other newcomers, had been looking around curiously after entering the territory.
Looking at the towering elemental arrow towers and the imperial archers standing on guard towers.
Lucky exclaimed from time to time.
“My God! I have lived in Hog Village for so many years, but I never knew that there was such a prosperous territory nearby!”
“Is this the power of the Chosen Lord?”
Hearing Lucky’s admiration, the drunken Bron stretched out his big hand and patted his shoulder and said, “Haha! This guy has a good eye.”
“When I saw this territory today, I was as surprised as you!”
Lucky also nodded in agreement.
Cao Xing smiled and turned around and said, “Lachi, our tavern is right in front.”
“I’ll take you to get used to the environment in a while.”
Lucky nodded solemnly and said: “Okay, respected lord!”
Only now did Lucky understand how powerful this lord was.
What kind of territory is this? It has almost turned into a fortress!
Living in such a territory, there is no need to worry about the threat of snow monsters or safari hunters.
at the same time.
Da Zhuang and others quickly gathered together after seeing Cao Xing and others returning.
Everyone had the same enthusiastic smile on their faces.
They saluted at the same time: “Welcome back, Lord Lord!”
Cao Xing nodded.
At this time, the polar man Da Zhuang exclaimed: “I feel that these warriors under the lord have become so powerful!”
“The aura on them is as fierce as an earth dragon!”
Hearing this, other polar people also said: “Oh my God! I feel it too!”
“By the grace of the Earth Mother Goddess, every time the lord comes back from a trip, there are earth-shaking changes!”
These polar people can be considered old employees, so they immediately felt that the strength of Bron, Andrew and others had increased dramatically.
The newly joined imperial soldiers and wild boar warriors all had envious looks on their faces.
They also want to have more power.
This time, Cao Xing didn’t need to say much. Cao Yi, the leader, came over to report on today’s work progress.
“Lord, according to your instructions, we have built seven more elemental arrow towers and three frost arrow towers.”
“The bonfire has been upgraded to level 12, and your lord’s hut has also been upgraded to level 4.”
Cao Xing nodded.
He also saw that his lord’s hut had expanded a bit again, and the population limit had also been greatly increased.
I took a look at the system interface.
【Current population: 115/406】
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “Yes, I happen to have hundreds of recruitment scrolls in my backpack. I’m worried about not having enough people, so this time it’s completely enough.”
He looked at the leader Cao Yi and said, “Continue talking.”
Leader Cao Yi said respectfully: “In addition, we have built one-third of the city walls to mid-level walls, and the ore processing plant and lumberyard have also been upgraded to level 3.”
“The processing plant can now sort copper metals.”
Having said this, the leader Cao paused, “But, Lord, there is something I need to report to you.”
“That is, the resource reserves in our territory are almost running out.”
Cao Xing was stunned, “Are there not enough resource reserves?”
You know, through the previous transactions, Cao Xing collected a large amount of basic resources such as wood and stones.
As expected, it will be enough to last a long time.
“Yes.”
The leader Cao nodded and said: “The main reason is that there are not enough wood and stones, and upgrading the middle-level city wall consumes too much.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing looked at the consumption of high-level city walls. Each time he upgraded a city wall, he needed to consume stones*100, wood*50, and iron*10. To encircle his territory, he would need more than 300 walls.
Plus the consumption of elemental arrow towers and frost arrow towers.
Therefore, it is only natural that his territory’s resources have bottomed out.
This is the price of rapid development.
Cao Xing nodded and said: “I understand, I will figure out a solution regarding resources.”
“Tomorrow you will stop construction work and send some polar people to collect resources outside the territory.”
The leader, Cao Yi, nodded respectfully.
At this time, Old Mel also came over and reported: “Lord, the mood of the group of Yuncai yaks has gradually stabilized. Not only that, they also successfully gave birth to the first batch of milk today.”
“You can see how this batch of milk works.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing’s face showed joy and said, “Oh? Let me see.”
After all, this is a magical creature, and the milk it produces is said to have special effects, so Cao Xing is also looking forward to it.
Old Mel was carrying a small wooden bucket. After opening the lid, there was a small half bucket of milky white milk inside.
Even here, Cao Xing could smell the rich milky fragrance.
【Yuncai Yak’s milk: 17L】
[100ml after each consumption: can restore 250 health points, 10 satiety points, cooling time 40 seconds]
(Milk with the breath of life can treat some internal injuries. In addition, it is also a good ingredient.)…
Seeing the properties of this milk, Cao Xing nodded secretly, “It can actually directly restore 250 points of health, which is almost as good as a bottle of secret life medicine!”
“If you haven’t found the formula for the secret of life medicine in the near future, you can use this milk first instead of the secret of life. Anyway, 100 ml can restore 250 blood volume!”
“I believe that this kind of milk, which can restore a lot of satiety and health, will be very popular with other survivors.”
Then, Cao Xing looked at Old Mel, “Mr. Mel, how much of this milk can we produce in a day?”
Old Mel thought: “The Yuncai yak only has a milk production cycle of two to three months every year. A yak can produce about 1 to 3 liters of milk every day.”
“In addition, 8 male Yuncai yaks are unable to produce milk, and the remaining 11 female Yuncai yaks produce a total of about 15 to 30 liters of milk per day.”
Cao Xing nodded, this milk production is enough.
With a daily output of 15 liters, Cao Xing can be used as the secret medicine of life and sell 150 copies! You know, a bottle of the secret medicine of life in the Luna Merchant Association sells for 500 crowns. Even if Cao Xing’s is cheaper, it can still sell for at least 300 crowns.
In other words, these Yuncai yaks alone can bring him tens of thousands of crowns in income every day!
Cao Xing was very excited.
Old Mel sighed with emotion at this time: “I heard that the milk of this kind of cloud yak is specially supplied to the royal family. One liter costs several thousand crowns, and you can buy one of my cows.”
Hearing this, other polar people and territorial residents also stared at the barrel in Old Mel’s hand.
They all also understood the value of this bucket of milk.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly shouted: “Dahua, use the milk of Yuncai Yak to make a bowl of milk soup for our members.”
Hearing this, the big flower on the side had a look of surprise on his face.
She had just heard Old Mel say how valuable this milk was.
Dahua said hesitantly: “Lord… Our daily food is rich enough. You should keep this precious milk for yourself…”
Others, including others, are also trying to persuade Cao Xing.
However, Cao Xing smiled and said: “Don’t worry, you can’t drink this kind of milk every day.”
“This is a reward for your hard work and contribution.”
Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of all the citizens.
Then, they respectfully said at the same time: “Thank you for your generous lord!”
“I am willing to shed my last drop of sweat for the development of my territory!”
Cao Xing nodded, “Okay, let’s all go back, and then we’ll be ready for dinner in the evening.”
Everyone looked at each other with excited smiles on their faces, and then left here energetically.
At this time, Cao Xing glanced at the newcomer Laqi next to him.
“Lachi, come with me.”
Lucky suddenly straightened up and said: “Okay… okay, Lord Lord!”
At this time, Cao Xing was already full of prestige in Laqi’s mind! The two came to the tavern.
Looking at the clean facilities inside, Lachi couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
Because this is where he will work from now on.
A happy smile also appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
Because then the tavern can be up and running.
Cao Xing is not planning to use the tavern for business.
It’s because in the tavern, you can use the [territory recruitment function].
You can use this function to attract nearby refugees or other talents.
However, those refugees still need Cao Xing’s consent if they want to enter the territory.
At this moment, a system prompt appeared.
[Detected the appearance of a territorial citizen with rudimentary bartending skills, whether to arrange for Lucky Babu to work in the tavern. 】
Cao Xing directly clicked ‘Yes’.
[The arrangement is successful, and the territory recruitment function has been opened. 】
[Territory recruitment function: Based on the lord’s reputation value, recruitment information will be released to refugees or rangers fifty kilometers away from the territory. 】
[This function can be used once every three days. You can subsequently upgrade the tavern to increase the recruitment range and reduce the cooling time]
…
“Is it fifty kilometers nearby?”
This range is a bit small, and Cao Xing is not sure whether he can recruit useful talents.
But what the heck, let’s try it first.
Then, he clicked [Recruit] directly.
A system prompt appears.
[Recruitment information has been successfully released. 】
Cao Xing nodded.
Next, just wait slowly.
See if any other refugees would come near his territory.
After arranging for Lucky, Cao Xing walked out of the tavern.
Then, he wandered around his territory leisurely.
After a while, I saw a pair of beautiful figures.
It is the sisters of the tree spirit tribe, Juliette and Neve.
Cao Xing came to them.
When Juliette and Neve saw him, they bowed together.
“Lord, I wish you good health.”
Two fair-skinned beauties as exquisite as hand-made figures stand together, creating a completely different scene.
Cao Xing nodded, and then handed all the magic plant seeds harvested today to Juliette.
The beautiful Juliette gently stroked the seeds in her hand, and a look of surprise appeared in her jewel-like pupils.
“Lord, are these the seeds of the ancient war tree that is about to become extinct, and the seeds of the Spirit Breath Grass?”
Cao Xing nodded secretly, it is indeed my plant encyclopedia.
Just by looking at them, you can tell the origin of these seeds.
“That’s right, Juliette, are you sure it can be planted?”
Juliette thought for a moment and shook her head. “Lord, these magic plants need to be planted in areas with sufficient magic power or sufficient vitality.”
“There are seeds of the Pale Tree in our territory. It has gradually changed the ecology of the soil, and the growing environment is satisfactory.”
“It’s just… they, like the mutated thorn vines, need to be watered with cold spirit water…”
Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said: “Don’t worry, I have solved the problem of Han Ling Shui. This time when we went out, we happened to find a pool of Han Ling Shui. The stock is very sufficient.”
“I will keep your instructions in mind.”
When Juliette heard the next sentence, a bit of shame suddenly appeared on her beautiful face.
She nodded her head lightly, and then whispered: “If…if there is cold spirit water, I can plant these seeds…”
“Very good, I’ll leave the Ancient War Tree and Spirit Breath Grass to you.”
Cao Xing nodded and said: “I believe that with your ingenious sisters, my territory will be filled with all kinds of magical plants before long. I am looking forward to that day.”
Hearing this, Juliette and Neve looked at each other, and both saw the emotion in the other’s eyes.
It’s a feeling of being recognized for your talent.
Little Neve waved her pink fist and said excitedly: “Don’t worry, Lord, my sister and I will definitely complete the task assigned by you.”
Juliette also nodded and said, “You are a lord full of vision. Juliette is honored to live in your territory.”
Cao Xing nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, “By the way, this is for you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he conjured two [gorgeous hairpins] from his hand like a magic trick.
These two hairpins are all pale gold in color, and there is a gold-plated spiritual bird hanging on them. Together with other pendants, they look particularly beautiful.
These were naturally obtained from the Ascalon funerary bag.
Originally, they wanted to sell it later, but Cao Xing thought the pair of hairpins were quite beautiful and suited them just right.
The two sisters each held a hairpin, and the joy on their faces could hardly be concealed.
Juliette bowed slightly and said, “Thank you for your gift, my dear lord.”
Neve was also moved and said: “Lord, you are so kind to us!”
[You gave the subject: Neve a favorite gift. The loyalty has been improved. The current loyalty is 96]
[You gave subject: Juliette a favorite gift. Loyalty has been improved. Current loyalty: 93]
