“Lord, please wait a moment!
Cao Xing turned around and asked in confusion: “What’s the matter?”
Elisa said excitedly: “I saw that there is a training camp in our territory. Can you train me as a combatant?”
“I also want to be a powerful warrior!”
She looked at Cao Xing expectantly, with longing in her eyes.
Cao Xing nodded, “It’s okay, but…”
He glanced at Old Mel.
After all, I had promised Old Mel that I would take them over to raise cattle and sheep, but I didn’t say that I wanted them to fight.
When fighting, there is a risk of injury or even death.
This is also the reason why Cao Xing gives preferential treatment to those combatants.
Old Mel chuckled and said: “Lord, Elisa has been lively since she was a child. She wanted to sign up for the Hog Village militia, but I beat her up and stopped.”
“But through what happened before, I almost know that this girl just can’t stay idle, and she might run out again one day.”
“If she can learn some fighting skills, she will have the power to protect herself even if she is alone in the wild.”
“So, since she asked you to train her as a combatant, it might not be a bad thing.”
Elisa jumped with excitement when she heard her father’s agreement.
“Father, I love you!”
Cao Xing also smiled and nodded, “Okay, wait until I get some training books and then train Elisa into an archer.”
If you want to train the ordinary citizens of the territory into combat arms, in addition to the barracks, you also need training books.
The most common ones at present are those first-level soldier training books.
Although there are relatively few ice archer training books, they are not that precious. They should be available in the [market].
Elisa said excitedly: “Thank you, generous and handsome lord!”
Hearing what Elisa said, Cao Xing couldn’t help but give the little girl a thumbs up.
Have a vision! At the same time, a system prompt appears.
[You agreed to Elisa’s request. Territory members: Elisa’s loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 77]
Cao Xing was happy, this little girl’s loyalty increased very quickly.
Shaking his head, Cao Xing left the bullpen and began to think about what happened next.
Although his current territory is powerful, most of his combat power will be taken out during the day.
The current territory defense mainly relies on the primary elemental arrow tower.
Cao Xing thought to himself: “So, for the security of the territory, in addition to building more elemental arrow towers, I also need a group of combatants to stay and guard the territory.”
“The newly recruited imperial soldiers and mage apprentices today are pretty good. With the various BUFFs I applied, it won’t be a problem to deal with the Ice Nest.”
“But in addition, I also need to train a group of ice archers to stand on the guard tower and guard the territory.”
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing had already thought about which personnel to train as ice archers.
That is the tree spirit tribe.
This race has lived in the jungle since childhood. They are very flexible and have the talent of being a guardian.
At that time, when Cao Xing’s Pale Tree grows, they can activate their talents even in the territory.
Cao Xing was thinking as he walked and passed by a vegetable shed.
Inside, the leader Rikka was planting the batch of carrot seeds and beet seeds.
Cao Xing did not disturb her but moved on.
Unknowingly, we arrived near the lord’s cabin.
Da Zhuang is leading three polar men to build the lord’s cabin with great enthusiasm.
After seeing Cao Xing, they saluted at the same time and said: “Well, Lord!”
Cao Xing waved his hand, indicating for them to continue working.
At the same time, he also noticed the upgrade progress of the lord’s hut, and was secretly happy.
“Very good. The Level 3 Lord’s Hut originally required 16 hours of upgrade time, but 4 polar men together were able to shorten it to 4 hours.”
“As expected, it will be completed around ten o’clock in the evening!”
Cao Xing was very excited.
The lord’s hut is the same as the bonfire. It changes once at level 5, but the upgrade difficulty is much higher than that of the bonfire.
When it reaches level 6, it becomes the lord’s palace, and when it reaches level 11, it becomes the lord’s castle.
The further you go to the back, the more materials you need.
“Now, it’s time to make a round of transactions.”
Cao Xing came to the [Market] as usual, and then opened the consignment interface.
He first put on the shelves a batch of green rabbit meat.
However, this time the quantity has been reduced to only 500 yuan, which is 5,000 servings.
Not long after Cao Xing put rabbit meat on the shelves, it immediately attracted the attention of survivors.
Yao Yin: “Brothers, Mr. Cao Xing has finally put rabbit meat on sale. This time it’s only 500 yuan. If you go late, it will be gone!”
Wei Xinglu: “Holy crap! I’ve been waiting for Boss Cao Xing’s rabbit meat for a whole day.”
Yan Chang: “Don’t even try to grab it from me. I managed to break out a dozen ice dragon marks today, and I’m just waiting to trade them for food with Boss Cao Xing!”
Yu Huiliang: “Brothers, hurry up!”
A large number of survivors opened the market and found Cao Xing’s consignment information.
After seeing that the price of rabbit meat above was almost the same as yesterday, everyone rushed to click on the transaction.
At the same time, Cao Xing’s ears once again received transaction prompts that kept flooding the screen.
All 500 pieces of rabbit meat were traded in less than three minutes.
And Cao Xing once again obtained: [Glacier Flake]*2380 [Ice Dragon Mark]*6320 [Cryolite (Green)]*431
[Primary element crystal]*114 pieces
【Mithril】*176 pieces
[Elementary Pet Contract]*12 pieces
[Ice Archer Training Manual]*6 [Book: Foreman Balin’s Diary]
…
The transaction prompts that flooded the screen gradually stopped.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “This wave of harvest is good, and we received a large number of glacier flakes and ice dragon marks.”
He looked at his reserves of these two materials.
[Glacier Slice]*10432[Ice Dragon Mark]*21971 “Very good, so many materials should be enough for me to exchange for a lot of good things.”
“But after these two transactions, I don’t have much meat left with added attributes. I’ll see if I can go hunting outside tomorrow and get some meat back.”
“The salmon in Luoxue Lake are pretty good, but it’s a pity that you need special bait to catch them.”
Shaking his head, Cao Xing put these thoughts behind him and continued to put on the shelves.
The next transaction is the highlight.
[Consignment items: Frost Bomb Rabbit Meat (blue), Snowstorm Bear Meat (blue)]
[Inventory reserve: 100 yuan each]
[Items required: skill books, territory construction drawings, magic plants. 】
[Seller’s Note: Two kinds of blue quality meat require various magic plant seeds, construction drawings, etc. You can send item information to me to determine the price. 】
[Consignor: Cao Xing]
The blue quality beast meat did once again attract a lot of attention in the chat channel.
But this time, Cao Xing didn’t receive many valuable things.
This is because other survivors do have a lot of drawings in their hands, but most of them are duplicates.
The quality of the props in the hands of those players is also not high.
Moreover, through the previous transactions, Cao Xing basically collected the basic skills of Frost Mage and Aurora Knight.
With the current strength of players, there is no way to obtain more advanced skills.
Cao Xing thought: “It seems that we have to support the market. After the players have developed for a period of time and have new things, we can then harvest them.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing canceled the consignment information of blue animal meat.
But this time, he still received a few good things, namely: [Elementary Frost Arrow Tower Construction Drawings]
[Elementary spike obstacle construction drawings]
[Drawings for making the heroic longbow (green)]
[Beast bone light armor production drawings (green)]
All these things together cost a total of 30 pieces of blue beast meat, which can be said to be earned with blood.
As for the [Machinery Factory Construction Drawings] and [Moses Grass Seeds] he wanted to receive, he did not receive them.
Cao Xing checked the properties of the newly acquired props as usual.
[Elementary Frost Arrow Tower Blueprint,]
[Attack power: 225~237 (when attacking, there is a 30% chance of causing the enemy to fall into a 30% deceleration effect, lasting 5 seconds)]
[Attack interval: 3 seconds/1 time]
[Maximum range: 700 meters]
[Armor: 20 points]
[Durability value: 2000/4000]
[Occupied area: 15 square meters]
[Building height: 14 meters]
[Building time: 6 hours and 11 minutes. 】
[Required for construction: wood*1000, stone*500, iron*120, cryolite*50, mithril*20]
(Introduction to the drawing: Have you ever played Plants vs. Zombies? I think you should understand the importance of Ice Shooter, right?)…
“Yes, the attack power and range are slightly higher than the elemental arrow tower, and it also has a slowing effect.”
“With this arrow tower, if you trigger a slowdown, you can deal a few more rounds of output before the monster reaches the city wall.”
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then began to look at the second drawing.
[Elementary spike obstacle construction drawings]
[Building effect: Block the enemy’s path and cause piercing damage to approaching enemies. 】
[Attack power: 175~188]
[Durability value: 800]
[Occupied area: 3 meters wide * 1 meter high]
[Materials required for construction: wood*30, iron*5]
[Construction time: 2 hours and 44 minutes]
(A simple spike barrier, but it can cause a lot of trouble to the enemy.)…
“Yes, this is also a good thing for guarding the territory.”
Cao Xing continued to check.
[Heroic Longbow Production Blueprint (Green): You can use this blueprint to create a level 10 Heroic Longbow. 】
[Required conditions for production: Blacksmith shop level 2, iron*10, cryolite*5, animal sinew*1. 】
…
[Beast bone light armor production drawing (green): You can use this drawing to make level 10 animal bone light armor. 】
[Required for crafting: Blacksmith shop level 2, any beast skeleton (green)*15, elemental crystal*5]
(Note: During the novice protection period, ordinary citizens can be assigned to work in the blacksmith shop. After the protection period is over, people with forging skills need to be assigned to allow the blacksmith shop to operate.)…
Obviously, these two pieces of equipment go together.
Cao Xing was overjoyed, “Very good, now the newly trained archers have their weapons and armors in place.”
“However, as for blacksmith talents, we have to find a way to recruit two.”
Cao Xing clicked on all four drawings to study.
Then, the last new item appeared in his hand.
[Book: Foreman Balin’s Diary]
[Item attributes: After reading, you can get an attribute improvement of strength +4]
[Time required for reading: 6 hours and 20 minutes (can be accumulated)]
[Click to read. 】
“Another book, not bad.”
“Whenever the number of books collected exceeds 100, we will build a library so that the citizens can absorb more knowledge in their spare time.”
At this point, the transaction is almost over.
At this time, the leader Dahua came over and said softly: “Lord, dinner is ready.”
“Today there is freshly baked bread, steamed rice, and broth made from bear bones and bear meat.”
“The two silver salmon you ordered are also ready.”
Cao Xing nodded and looked towards the area where the canteen was.
Today’s canteen has also been upgraded to level 2, and its area has increased from the original 70 to 80 square meters to more than 200 square meters.
It allows all the people in the territory to dine inside.
The amount of food that so many people consume every day is also a huge amount.
If it weren’t for Cao Xing’s strength and the large amount of food and meat he brought back, he wouldn’t be able to feed so many people.
At this moment, the tempting aroma of food came from the canteen.
Especially Da Zhuang and the others, who had been working for a day, their physical strength was greatly exhausted. After smelling the fragrance, their stomachs suddenly rumbled.
Cao Xing knew that they were all hungry, so he shouted, “Dazhuang, Cao Yi, stop what you are doing first and have a full stomach before going to work.”
Upon hearing Cao Xing’s call, all the citizens stopped what they were doing.
One by one, they entered the canteen with excited expressions.
Without a doubt, this is the most anticipated moment of their day.
Every day Dahua prepares a lot of nutritious and delicious food for everyone.
Especially dinner, the most sumptuous! Everyone entered the territory in a hurry, including the newly joined Polar Regions and the imperial soldiers.
And when the newcomers entered the cafeteria, they were immediately stunned by the sumptuous dishes on the table!
Several large tables were filled with a dazzling array of food.
Bread baked until golden brown, fragrant rice, and carefully cooked broth.
Everything in front of them was something they had never seen before in the previous owner’s territory.
Duane, the polar man, immediately exclaimed: “Oh my God! What did I see? Grilled bread, even honey and cheese, is this really something we can enjoy?”
Those imperial soldiers were also shocked, “Your Majesty! Am I dreaming?”
Including the newly joined old Mel and Elisa, no one thought that the living standard in this territory could reach this level.
This is simply the treatment of a noble!
For a moment, all the newcomers swallowed at the same time.
Seeing their excited reactions, Cao Xing also had a smile on his face.
In fact, this meal mainly consumed rice and wheat, and not much meat.
Just like a few days ago, Cao Xing and the others were able to survive by eating only meat.
But even so, the richness on the dinner table was beyond the imagination of these newcomers!
Look at the impatient expressions of the citizens.
The leader Cao Yi coughed twice and started his speech again.
Half a minute later, Cao Yi’s speech ended.
Then he said: “Then, let us thank the lord again for his gift and start enjoying a delicious dinner!”
Everyone said in unison: “Thank you Lord Lord for your gift!”
The next moment, everyone picked up their rice bowls or grabbed bread and started to eat hungrily.
On Cao Xing’s side, dozens of system prompts suddenly sounded.
[Your territory member: Rakid enjoyed a delicious dinner, his loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 73]
[Your territory member: Sylvia enjoyed a delicious dinner, her loyalty has been increased, current loyalty: 71]
[Your territory member: Duane enjoyed a delicious dinner, his loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 75]
【your……】
Hundreds of system prompts appear.
All subjects have increased their loyalty by 2 to 3 points.
And those newcomers directly added 7 to 10 points of loyalty.
It can be said that the loyalty of all employees has skyrocketed.
At the same time, Cao Xing also noticed that Hilda, the most difficult to deal with, became more loyal.
However, it seems that she is not doing it because of the food, but because of other reasons.
Hilda looked at Cao Xing with a hint of interest in her eyes.
Cao Xing shook his head, and then took Liu Muxue to a dining table next to him.
This is their eating area.
On the plate above were two silver salmon that he obtained from the powerful aborigine in Luoxue Lake today, which together weighed 7 kilograms!
After taking a sip, Cao Xing immediately opened his eyes and said in surprise: “Let me go…is it so silky?”
He could feel that the delicious fish meat seemed to melt directly on the tip of his tongue when he entered his mouth.
It was a taste without any fishy smell, leaving only the pure aroma of meat.
No wonder that Qinong said that silver salmon is an extremely rare delicacy. This thing is really delicious!
However, the system prompt that Cao Xing was looking forward to did not appear.
It wasn’t until he finished eating a silver salmon in the bowl that the system prompt finally appeared.
[Successfully eat silver salmon, maximum life +300, population +3]
Cao Xing was delighted, “The population has indeed increased!”
He originally wanted to try if he could directly use a silver salmon to increase the population by 9.
But now it seems that the system will not let Cao Xing take advantage of the loopholes.
Just when he wanted to move on to his second silver salmon.
Cao Xing glanced at his bulging belly.
“I’m going…I’m full…”
“Muxue, you can eat this one.”
Liu Muxue chuckled and nodded, then began to enjoy the silver salmon.
Compared with Cao Xing’s gobbling, Liu Muxue chewed his food carefully and looked very gentle.
It took about five minutes to finish the silver salmon.
Then, the system prompt appears.
[Liu Muxue successfully ate silver salmon, her life limit was +300, and her population was +3]
Cao Xing noticed that his population limit had become 106.
However, this was not what surprised him the most.
What surprised Cao Xing was that his remaining number of meals remained unchanged.
The remaining number of silver salmon is still: 2. In other words, he and Liu Muxue can eat a total of 6 silver salmon and increase the population by 18! “I didn’t expect that the times we ate were calculated separately.”
Cao Xing was overjoyed. Although the system did not allow him to take advantage of the loopholes, because a territory can have 2 to 4 lords, this effect can also be superimposed.
After eating and drinking, Cao Xing led Liu Muxue out of the cafeteria, and then said: “Muxue, our lord’s cabin will not be successfully upgraded until after ten o’clock. Let’s just find a room to rest tonight.”
Liu Muxue nodded slightly, with a bit of shame on her face and said: “Well…I’ll listen to you…”
The two came to the residential houses next to them. There were several houses here that were still empty.
Every residential room is connected to heating pipes.
Cao Xing casually pushed open a house, and bursts of warmth hit his face.
I checked the indoor temperature.
[Current temperature: 14℃]
“Not bad, I should be able to sleep well tonight.”
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Compared to the ice and snow outside, the inside of their territory is simply paradise! …
