Chapter 24

While Rene was resting, the chat channel was in an uproar.

“Damn! Elk meat is safe and edible!”

“You evil people, can you not talk nonsense here?”

“That’s right. Last time, I don’t know which damned fellow said that lizard meat could be eaten, but in the end, it poisoned three of the laborers in my territory. They’re still in a daze and can’t do anything.”

“Brothers, it’s true this time. If you don’t believe me, look at the trading platform!”

The chat channel was abnormally rowdy.

When the group of people saw the information on the trading square, their faces immediately flushed red.

20 units of wood could actually be exchanged for 10 units of wild beast meat!

Was he distributing benefits to them?!

One unit of wild beast meat was the same as one unit of food.

20 units of wild beast meat could basically support the daily consumption of most players’ territory.

It was equivalent to a lumberjack using his two hours of work to support the food consumption of more than ten people in the entire territory!

This was such a good deal.

Instantly, the players fought crazily.

2000 units of wild beast meat seemed to be a lot, but there were nearly ten billion players in this world.

This little stock was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

The players who did not snatch the meat sent a private message to Rene through the trading channel.

They said they wanted to order some wild beast meat and offered a higher price than the market.

Unfortunately, Rene was already resting and did not see these offers.

…

The next day, Rene woke up early.

In this world without technology, people became very sensitive to the changes of night and day. Basically, once the sky lit up, Rene would wake up automatically.

He opened the chat channel to check on last night’s sales.

He saw a lot of grateful messages.

Because he had told everyone for free that elk meat was safe, many people thanked him on their own.

Rene shook his head and smiled. He did not think he had contributed much.

Firstly, this was not important information.

Secondly, as long as other players built their camps, they would quickly hunt down elks.

There might even be people out hunting.

Although the wilderness forest was dangerous, soldiers had to be sent out eventually. Hunting was inevitable.

There were many elks in this forest, so it was normal to encounter them.

Not only that, but the other monsters were the same.

As long as time passed, everyone would quickly gain some experience.

Therefore, Rene chose to go public and not use the information for personal gain.

“So many?”

Rene opened the trading platform.

In the end, he discovered a series of transaction notifications. 2,000 units of wild beast meat were quickly bought clean. There were even countless people who wanted to make a reservation.

Rene did not reply.

This kind of deal was limited, there was no need to communicate.

However, he had many resources now. He could purchase runes.

2,000 units of wild beast meat became 4,000 units of wood after a night of transactions.

Unfortunately, the wilderness at night was too unsafe. All the Soft Water Slimes did not continue to produce drinking water. Otherwise, the resources obtained would definitely be higher.

Without hesitation, Rene offered 300 units of wood for the fire runes at the trading platform.

In less than three minutes, someone sent a private message.

Someone wanted more resources.

Not wanting to delay the operation of the smelting workshop, Rene added 50 more units of wood.

[System prompt: 300 wood + 50 wild beast meat traded. Obtained: Fire Rune+1.]

[System prompt: 350 wood traded. Obtained: Wood Rune+1.]

[System prompt: 200 wood + 1 machete + 2,000 ml of drinking water traded. Obtained: Wood Rune+1.]

[System prompt: 150 wood + 2 machetes traded. Obtained: Wood Rune+1.]

Rene bought a few runes at a high price.

He obtained the runes needed for the smelting workshop.

After doing this, he walked out of the Overlord’s Hall.

At this moment, the territory had already begun to get busy.

The laborers woke up earlier than him.

After building the houses yesterday, the laborers had a great sense of belonging to the territory. Now, they also wished to develop it to an even better state.

Therefore, early in the morning, they began logging and picking rocks. They were all filled with enthusiasm.

Rene went directly to the workshop area.

Standing in front of the furnace-like building, he took out the fire runes and wood runes from the warehouse.

Then, he got the construction workers to place the runes where they should be.

Boom!

After the runes were inlaid, the entire ground shook.

The originally lifeless large furnace was now like an awakened fire beast. There was hot temperature and rhythmic “breathing” sounds coming from it.

Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining the building: Smelting Workshop!]

Looking at the awakened monster before him, Rene felt a little proud.

In the current stage, other players could barely build a camp.

They could not even imagine building a high-level building like the Smelting Workshop.

————

[Smelting Workshop] (Rank 1 Construction)

[Quality]: Normal

[Level]: 1

Function: Up to 50 units of gold ore or 500 units of iron ore can be refined per day.

Description: An ordinary smelting workshop can refine some basic ores.

————

The Smelting Workshop also needed workers, but the Guild needed to reach Level 3 before they could be recruited.

Fortunately, it was not absolute.

Even without a smelter, it could still be replaced by a blacksmith.

The final yield would just be slightly lower.

If a smelter carried out the refinement, they could reach the maximum production value of the smelting workshop every day.

If a blacksmith did it, he could only reach half of the building’s production value.

Although it was much lower, it was better than nothing.

After all, this was too early for a territory that had just appeared a few days ago.

“10 units?!”

Rene checked the ore conversion ratio and found that the ratio was as high as 10: 1.

In other words, he needed 10 units of gold ore to refine a gold coin!

It was the same for iron.

According to this calculation, the daily output of this smelting workshop should be 2.5 gold coins, which was 17.5 gold coins per week.

This output could completely support his spending for the next week.

After all, the high-quality soldiers in the territory were all obtained through editing. Their employment fees were still the original price, so the sum was not too terrifying.

However, Rene still had to hurry up the collection of gold coins, because he had to pay a high editorial fee when editing high-quality soldiers.

For example, he had to pay 3 gold coins to create a Blazing Spear Soldier. This was the greatest problem he faced.
