Chapter 14

Soon, Wang Jue received a notification.

Dan Luoning 180.62: All right. If you have anything good next time, I hope you can negotiate a trade with me in advance.

Dan Luoning 180.62: To express my sincerity, I’ll give you the Skill Book for free. I’ll add to that 300 gold coins to buy 200ml of the Potion of Life from you.

Following that, a private trading column appeared in front of Wang Jue.

The contents of the transaction were exactly as Dan Luoning had stated—300 gold coins and a Skill Book.

Wang Jue smiled. This woman is the best businessman I’ve ever met.

In the past, this should be called venture capital investment.

It seems like she is treating me as a target for long-term cooperation. She gave me a Refined Forging Technique directly——that is really generous of her.

However, Wang Jue wasn’t a person to covet small gains. He didn’t want to unthinkingly end up owing someone a favor.

Wang Jue opened the private trading channel.

He posted 500ml of spiritual spring water and completed the transaction with Dan Luoning.

After receiving the item, the other party swiftly replied, “You’re the most generous person I’ve ever met. In the future, if you need any resources, you can contact me privately. I’ll definitely help if I can.”

Wang Jue didn’t pay too much attention to her. After closing the panel, he got up and walked out of the courtyard.

There were still many things to take care of today.

Meanwhile, faraway on the other side.

In a huge underground castle.

Within the castle, there were about eight different races including the Dwarfs who were skilled in forging, Orcs who were extremely strong, and Feathermen, who were good at flying.

It was difficult to believe that the races that did not interact with one another at all were actually stationed together.

Moreover, it seemed that the Dwarfs were responsible for forging, the Orcs were responsible for transporting, and the Feathermen were responsible for patrolling and supervising.

Everyone went about their duties. At the highest point in the crowd, there was a tall tower. Inside the tower sat a woman wearing a crown.

Her red lips parted slightly, and an imperceptible voice said, “The water of the sacred spring. It is actually related to the elves who have been living in seclusion for a long time. Interesting.”

On the other side.

Wang Jue opened the territory map.

Currently, only a hundred meters around the small courtyard was lit up. Everywhere else was completely dark.

Wang Jue had previously consolidated the nearby resources, and now he was preparing to begin the first expansion of his territory.

On the map, Wang Jue marked out several areas.

Zone 1 was an area that was a kilometer from the forest.

Wood and rock were basic materials.

Resources like trees needed time to grow after they were cut down. Wang Jue planned for them to be inside his territory so that he could effectively control them.

Moreover, the terrain was flat and suitable for large-scale planting.

During the past two days, Datou had cut down trees and obtained a lot of saplings.

Wang Jue planned to turn Zone 1 into a woodland.

When the large-scale forest was formed, he wouldn’t have to worry about wood.

Zone 2 covered 1,000 meters to the north.

The soil of the area was fertile and suitable for producing farmland.

Food and water were important survival resources.

He would get rid of the wild beasts and put a farmland into operation.

He could even catch some animals in the future and raise them.

Just then, Carl arrived. “Lord, everything is ready and awaiting your orders!”

Quina also appeared at that moment.

Wang Jue nodded. This was what he and the others had discussed earlier. Quina was put in charge of leading Hidden Shadow’s wolf pack to the forest to clear the wild beasts.

Carl was in charge of bringing the three farmers to the plains to find a water source and to create a channel for irrigation.

At this thought, Wang Jue looked towards the training camp.

“Datou and the others have already gone inside for more than two hours. Why aren’t they out yet?”

Just then, the door of the training camp opened.

Three figures slowly walked out from within. It was the trio.

Upon seeing their Overlord looking at them, the three of them started wailing.

“Overlord, it’s so scary inside. I feel like a century has passed.”

“Yes, yes, my Lord. I’ve been training every day. I feel like I’ve become a fool from all that training.” Ertou also started to cry and shout aggrievedly.

Wang Jue frowned. He did not expect the training camp to be this terrifying for the three of them.

But now was not the time to ask about their well-being.

“It’s because I’ve been too indulgent to you usually. I put you into the training camp to increase your strength so that you can lighten my burden.

If you can’t even endure this bit of hardship, how are you going to take on a major role in the future?

“Tell me, what do I need you for?!”

Wang Jue said coldly.

In his opinion, these three silly farmers were not stupid at all. Would fools know about flattery?

Furthermore, Wang Jue had to admit that the three of them were very good at being flatterers.

If they were foolish, that only showed in their work.

They were the classic example of a people who sucked at everything but were the best at eating.

Therefore, Wang Jue was actually annoyed, only he chose not to show it.

Looking at the serious expression on Wang Jue’s face, the three of them realized that they had been a little presumptuous. All of them immediately stood up straight and didn’t dare to look Wang Jue in the eye.

However, the three farmers were 100% loyal to him. Wang Jue couldn’t really drive them away.

As long as they were properly trained, they would definitely be Wang Jue’s trusted aides in the future.

“Have you learned anything in the training camp? I don’t care what you’ve learned. In short, it is the survival of the fittest. If you can’t keep up with my pace, you’ll be eliminated sooner or later. It’s up to you now. How should I deal with you?”

The sword in his hand was dragged on the ground. The soil and grass were cut by the sword, making rustling sounds.

“Overlord, please forgive us this time!” Datou said shakily.

“My Lord, although the training camp is very tough, I didn’t dare to slack off. I’ve learned all the skills I need to learn. I’m now a rank-two soldier.”

Ordinary people would most likely become ordinary soldiers after entering the elementary training camp and could only pick up basic combat skills.

After yesterday’s battle, Wang Jue learned that even Carl was only close to the standard of a rank-one knight, which was the Level 6 in the system.

Ertou and Santou were only rank-one soldiers.

Unexpectedly, in just two hours, Datou had grown into a rank-two soldier. It seemed that he was quite talented.

According to their earlier words, the time mechanism of the training camp might be different from reality. The flow of time was probably multiplied.

However, Wang Jue didn’t care about that. He just wanted to see results.

Seeing that everyone’s attitude had changed, Wang Jue didn’t say anything else.

After allocating the tasks, they set off.

Wang Jue, on the other hand, took Quina somewhere else to do something more important.

…

10 kilometers away in the southwest.

There was danger in the place Wang Jue wanted to explore.

It was two gray bears that had gathered together.

[System notification: Earth Grizzly Bear LV 4]

[Race: Magical Beast]

[Damage: 60~78]

[Health Points: 300]

[Armor: 130]

[Skills: Broken Palm, Crush, Tremor]

[Grizzly Bears with the power of the Earth have extremely high defense and powerful strength. Don’t let them get close to you!]

When they saw their target, Wang Jue and Quina exchanged glances.

No words were needed.

Quina pushed off her feet and jumped into the air.

She landed firmly on a big tree and spread her arms. The Evil Spirit Bow immediately turned into a full moon.

The arrows were ready..
