“Hot spring? This is a good thing!
Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up.
In this cold winter, even taking a hot bath is a rare thing.
Being able to soak in hot springs is a life that only gods can enjoy! Moreover, the hot springs will open when the time comes.
You can let beauties like Liu Muxue, Sarah, and Juliette take a bath in the same hot spring…
Cao Xing seemed to have thought of some pictures that he shouldn’t have thought of, and immediately interrupted his thoughts.
“Ahem! I can’t think about it any more!”
He quickly started looking at the next drawing.
[Construction drawings of primary medical room]
[Building effect: A building with simple medical tools and facilities can be built in the territory, which can treat the symptoms of frostbite, colds, internal injuries and other symptoms of the territory residents…]
[Occupied area: 150 square meters]
[Armor: 30]
[Durability value: 750]
[Required staff: 0/1 physician]
[Materials required for construction: wood*200, stone*100, iron*30, copper*20, mithril*5, primary element crystal*10]
[Construction time: 17 hours and 32 minutes]
…
“Yes, this is also an important building in the territory.”
“Although because of my talent and the warm environment, the health of the people has always been in a healthy state.”
“But as more people go out to collect resources, some residents with poor health will still get sick and have fever.”
“So the medical room is also essential.”
Cao Xing clapped all these drawings with both hands and clicked study.
At this point, all the gains from this transaction have been seen.
The harvest was greater than I imagined.
Successfully received Moses grass and large amounts of Moses grass seeds.
The number of Wild Boar Warrior recruitment scrolls has exceeded 106, which is enough for him to recruit a legion.
In addition, the number of Ice Dragon Marks has reached 260,000, which can be exchanged for two gold treasure chests.
There are also a large number of skill books and drawings.
But it is a pity that the materials of [King’s Altar] are still a bit lacking.
In addition, the recruitment of alchemists and doctors also needs to be put on the agenda.
There is still a lot to do, and not all goals have been accomplished with one transaction.
Moreover, through this transaction, almost all the good things in the hands of the survivors were taken over by Cao Xing, and they need to maintain the market for a few more days.
But in general, if all the resources gained from this transaction are digested, his strength will skyrocket!
Cao Xing patted his backpack with satisfaction.
“Not bad, not bad.”
“Now, it’s time to go see my precious yak.”
He remembered that Old Mel said that Yuncai Yak was ready to collect the first batch of hair.
Cao Xing also wanted to put on the kind of warm clothes as soon as possible, so he couldn’t wait to come to the door of the [cattle shed].
‘Crunch! ’
The door to the junior bullpen opens.
Waves of warmth mixed with the smell of hay hit your face.
However, apart from a dozen Yuncai yaks lying quietly on the ground, there was no sign of Old Mel inside.
Cao Xing thought to himself: “It seems that Old Mel has gone to rest.”
But it’s normal to think about it, after all, it’s already past ten o’clock in the evening.
In the entire territory, except for the combatants who were standing guard and guarding against the ice nest monster, everyone else was already asleep.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly saw a figure emerging from among a bunch of yaks.
He was instantly alert.
“Who is it!?”
Cao Xing asked.
An old voice replied: “It’s me, Lord Lord.”
Hearing the sound, Cao Xing lowered his guard.
Then he said with a speechless face: “Old Mr. Mel, why did you go to sleep with the yaks?”
Old Mel smiled and shook his head, “Lord, I am not sleeping, I am milking.”
Cao Xing also saw the gloves that Old Mel was wearing and the small wooden barrel under the yak’s belly.
He also laughed immediately.
“Mr. Mel, do you still have enough fodder for the yaks? If not, I will send someone to a nearby village to purchase some.”
Mel replied: “Lord, there is enough fodder, but we do need to prepare some more.”
“The weather here is changeable. Sometimes a heavy snowfall blocks the road and you can’t go out for half a month…”
At this point, Mel sighed.
Cao Xing also nodded, knowing that what Mel said was the truth.
After all, it’s still snowing heavily outside.
It’s not certain whether I can go out tomorrow.
This is also a problem for most civilians in this world.
All kinds of bad weather make their already difficult living environment even worse.
At this moment, Cao Xing took out a handful of light purple grass from his backpack.
Old Mel’s eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the smell of green grass emanating from it.
“This is…this is Moses grass!”
“Lord, have you actually found this magical plant?”
Cao Xing smiled and nodded, then took out all the Moses grass.
A large pile of Moses grass was piled on the ground, and it still smelled of earth.
“Mr. Mel, are these enough to support the Yuncai Yak for a while?”
Mel nodded and said: “Enough, absolutely enough!”
“With these grasses, if mixed with hay and fed, it won’t be a problem for the yaks to eat for half a month.”
Cao Xing also laughed after hearing this.
Half a month should be enough for him to grow a new batch of Moses grass.
When the time comes, he will plant new grass seeds, and with the growth bonus of [Pale Tree], he will soon no longer need to worry about the food of Yuncai Yak.
Old Mel said: “Lord, the Yuncai Yak has adapted to the new environment. Do you want to cut off the first batch of hair now?”
“Just now.” Cao Xing replied.
“Okay, respected lord.”
After saying that, Old Mel took out a pair of scissors and came to the group of cloud yaks.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, the yaks have all memorized the aura of Old Mel.
Even when he was close, he seemed very quiet.
Cao Xing watched for a while and found that Old Mel’s movements were very careful and serious.
With his movements, sections of blue and white, soft hair were cut off.
Then he was neatly placed on the mat by Old Mel.
However, it took more than ten minutes for Old Mel to finish cutting the hair on the belly of a yak.
According to this calculation, it will take at least half an hour to trim a yak.
All 19 yaks have been sheared and will be leaving in the middle of the night.
Cao Xing was a little embarrassed, and then said: “Mr. Meier, let’s do this for today and continue tomorrow.”
Old Mel was about to refuse, but heard Cao Xing say: “By the way, this is an order.”
Hearing this, Old Mel also laughed, and then said: “Yes, Lord.”
After the two finished speaking, they left the bullpen together and closed the door.
…
After arriving outside the territory, Old Mel returned to his residence.
And Cao Xing was still patrolling the territory.
At this moment, it was still snowing heavily outside, and the cold wind was howling, but it was dispersed by the heat emitted by the furnace.
He didn’t know how long the heavy snow would last, and thought to himself: “Based on the intensity of today’s snowfall, it is estimated that the snow will be at least one meter deep tomorrow.”
“It’s going to be a little troublesome to travel.”
Although, he now needs an alchemist and a physician.
But it’s not something imminent.
For him at the moment, what is more important is to digest the resources gained tonight and then improve his strength.
“Forget it, if you can’t go out tomorrow, just stay in the territory and use the Ice Dragon Horn to level up!”
Cao Xing already had an idea in mind.
Then, he was ready to go back to the lord’s cabin to rest and end the day’s busy life.
Speaking of which, Cao Xing has not stopped for a moment since he left home this morning and has been running for hundreds of kilometers continuously.
Even after returning to the territory, he has been busy.
At this moment, Cao Xing sighed and said: “The life of a lord is like this. Although it is busy, it is also very fulfilling.”
And when he passed by the [Blacksmith Shop], he suddenly heard ‘Ding! Ding ding! ’ the knocking sound.
Cao Xing wondered: “It’s so late, is Harold still working?”
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to go to the blacksmith shop.
“It just so happened that I harvested a lot of beast bones today, as well as human-face bark and other making materials.”
“In the transaction just now, we also obtained two production drawings, so Harold can see if he can build some equipment.”
When Cao Xing stepped into the [Blacksmith Shop], an even stronger heat came from inside.
A dwarf was holding a big hammer and sweating profusely in front of the forging bench.
“Ding! Ding ding!”
The sound of heavy knocking was endless.
It can be seen that Harold is very serious about his work, and he did not even notice Cao Xing coming in.
Cao Xing said: “Harold, are you still working so late?”
After seeing the figure, Harold wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said with a smile: “Lord, aren’t you still busy at this late hour?”
Cao Xing smiled after hearing this.
“Lord, all the light armor you ordered me to build today have been completed!”
“There are about sixty pairs of first-level fine-quality light armor, and only five pairs of excellent-quality light armor.”
“However, those rabbit teeth you gave me have made some second-level plate teeth armor, and the defensive effect is not bad.”
“In addition, I have also made 300 arrows, and I am rushing to make more arrows.”
“However, it should be noted that there are not enough feathers in our territory.”
Harold finished reporting his work today in one breath.
Cao Xing praised: “Harold, you have worked hard.”
After hearing this, Harold said sheepishly: “It’s not hard at all, Lord.”
“I heard from my wife that you took good care of her today.”
“Not only did he give her a rare weapon, but he also gave her a precious soul.”
“Although her breakthrough failed, we are all very grateful for your cultivation!”
“To be honest, we have been wandering outside for so many years and experienced a lot of bad things.”
“This is the first time we feel at home in a territory.”
At this point, the pupils of this rough-faced dwarf were a little moist, either due to the smoke or for some other reason.
A smile also appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
He knew that the couple had a good relationship.
But at this moment, Harold’s next words surprised Cao Xing.
“Putana also feels that we are lucky to be able to come to this territory. After our children are born in the future, they will have a comfortable environment to grow up.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing’s pupils widened and he said in surprise: “Harold, what did you say? Your child?”
Harold nodded and said: “Yes, Lord, Putana is pregnant, so we thought we could find a stable place, and then we came to the territory of Lord.”
Cao Xing sighed: “Harold, I don’t know about this.”
To be honest, if he knew, Cao Xing would definitely not let Putana go out to fight with him.
If a fierce battle directly caused the child in Putana’s belly to fall out, the fun would be even greater.
Harold shook his head and said: “It doesn’t matter, Lord. Putana also asked me not to tell you about this matter, but I think this matter will be exposed sooner or later, so I might as well report it to you first.”
Having said this, Harold added: “But please don’t worry, Lord, Putana can still fight in these few months. She has the blood of a half-giant and has a very strong physique.”
“And we will try our best to contribute to the territory. Even if Putana can’t fight for a while, I will work harder to make up for her share.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing had a smile on his face and said, “Harold, it’s okay even if Putana doesn’t fight. Your contribution is enough.”
For Cao Xing, the combat power of a second-level elite has little impact, far less than that of a blacksmith.
However, the dwarf said stubbornly: “No, Lord, this is our obligation!”
“You have provided us with a warm shelter and a stable place. We must also contribute to the territory. If Putana is left idle, she will feel guilty and blame herself…”
After hearing this, Cao Xing thought for a moment: “That’s it, Harold. I’ll let Putana lead the soldiers to defend the territory.”
“Don’t think this is special care for you, because I will bring some of my combat power out, and the defensive pressure is still quite high.”
Hearing this, Harold looked thoughtful in his eyes.
Then he solemnly nodded and said: “Thank you, Lord! We will defend your territory with our lives and the hammer in our hands!”
[Because of your consideration for your subordinates, territory member: Harold Bingshan’s loyalty has been greatly improved, current loyalty: 85]
…
Seeing this prompt, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment.
Because before this, Harold’s loyalty had just reached 72 points.
This arrangement directly increased his loyalty by 13 points, which is the largest increase in history.
Cao Xing shook his head and said nothing more.
At this time, Harold solemnly picked up two pieces of equipment from the side and said respectfully: “Lord, this is the finished product I created today. Please check it out!”
After hearing this, Cao Xing became interested, then glanced over and looked at the attributes.
[Beast bone light armor (green)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Wearing requirements: Level 10]
[Armor: 13~16]
[With special effects ①: Agility +5, HP +60]
[With special effects ②: Go into battle lightly (attack speed and movement speed increased by 15%)]
(Light armor made of wolf bones is very lightweight.)…
[Beast Bone Light Armor (Blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Wearing requirements: Level 10]
[Armor: 21~25]
[With special effects ①: agility +5, strength +5, health +100]
[With special effect ②: Bear Fury (when attacked, there is a 30% chance of increasing strength by 20 points, lasting 10 seconds)]
(Light armor made of bear bones is both sensitive and defensive.)…
[Banya Armor (Blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Wearing requirements: level 15 or above]
[Armor: 37~41]
[With special effects ①: agility +10, strength +5, health +200]
[Included special effect ②: Ban Ya’s force removal (when attacked, reduce the damage received by 15%)]
(The armor made of Frost Bomb Rabbit Teeth is light and has good defense.)…
Seeing these three types of equipment, Cao Xing glanced at Harold.
Obviously, the attributes of these equipment are very good.
At least for equipment of the same level and quality, the attributes are much higher.
Harold was built with great care.
After replacing it with those Ascalon warriors, it can enhance their combat power a lot.
However, because Cao Xing’s development speed is so fast, the levels of those soldiers will also increase rapidly.
So these equipment will be eliminated soon.
But that doesn’t matter.
Because at this stage, most survivors are still at levels 5 to 9, and only a small number of people have reached level 10.
So when the time comes, Cao Xing can put these equipment on the market and exchange them for supplies.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing’s mouth once again showed a touch of joy.
“Harold, the attributes of this batch of equipment are very good, and you have amazing forging skills.”
Harold was a little embarrassed by Cao Xing’s praise, and shook his head and said: “Lord, you are exaggerating. In fact, my forging technology is not the best among the dwarves.”
“We dwarves also have senior blacksmiths, expert blacksmiths, and even master blacksmiths.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing asked: “Harold, how did your dwarves upgrade their forging technology?”
As Harold said, he is not a top blacksmith.
The more advanced the blacksmith, the faster he can make equipment and the better the quality.
And more importantly, intermediate blacksmiths can only ensure a high success rate when crafting blue and lower-quality equipment.
If you build purple quality equipment, there is a high probability of failure.
Although Cao Xing does not yet have enough materials to make purple equipment in batches, it does not prevent him from making preparations in advance.
Harold thought for a moment and then replied: “Under normal circumstances, everyone improves their forging proficiency through a lot of actual combat.”
“Of course, it also depends on talent. Some dwarves may have been working in iron all their lives and are only intermediate blacksmiths.”
“And some dwarves can become expert blacksmiths in just a dozen years.”
Cao Xing nodded suddenly and continued to ask: “Is there any way to quickly increase proficiency?”
Hearing this question, Harold thought for a moment and replied: “Yes, there is. First, by reading a lot of books on blacksmithing knowledge, some masters’ notes, etc.”
“Then we need to build some advanced equipment. The more advanced the equipment, the more proficiency will be gained, and of course the higher the failure rate.”
After listening to this, Cao Xing finally understood how the aborigines of this world upgrade their life skills.
It doesn’t sound difficult.
The simplest way is to let him create a large number of high-end equipment.
This is equivalent to throwing money at it.
But for Cao Xing, this is also the simplest method.
Harold continued: “Among the large number of books collected by the lord, I saw a book called: “The Life of the Blacksmith of the Kingdom”.”
“In this book, I saw many lost forging techniques and forging techniques, and I benefited a lot.”
“Coupled with today’s forging, I feel that I will be able to become a senior blacksmith before long!”
At this point, Harold looked very excited.
After all, a senior blacksmith is a talent everywhere!
After hearing this, Cao Xing also showed joy on his face.
I didn’t expect that there was such a good thing in that pile of books.
He encouraged: “Come on Harold, you have to believe that in my territory, being a senior blacksmith is not your end.”
“In the future, you will also become an expert blacksmith, or even a master blacksmith!”
After hearing Cao Xing’s encouragement, Harold also had a look of yearning in his eyes.
“I believe in the Lord’s ability!”
“If I can become a master blacksmith in the future, I will have a distinguished status even among the dwarves.”
“Furthermore, every newly promoted blacksmith master can go to the Dwarf Hall to receive an exclusive epic-level equipment blueprint.”
“At that time, I will return to my tribe in glory, take away the epic blueprints, and then build your own epic equipment for the lord!”
Upon hearing the next sentence, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn’t even know that cultivating a master blacksmith would have such benefits!
However, this goal sounds far away.
Cao Xing could only suppress the excitement in his heart temporarily.
Then, he took out a lot of jungle boar bones, tusks, and human-faced bark from his backpack…
