Chapter 37

Cantis (0125): “Mr. Rene, I have a piece of superior-grade clay and an earth rune. How much will you pay for it?”

There was no picture of the material in the private message.

But there was a copied name of clay on it, which basically confirmed the authenticity of the product.

Rene could feel how much the material meant to him.

It must be a material that could bring him great benefits!

At this thought, Rene couldn’t wait to contact him.

…

Rene (0401): “Superior-grade clay for 100 wood, earth rune for 200 wood.”

Cantis (0125): “I’m very satisfied with your price, but Mr. Rene, I want an axe. Can you…”

Rene (0401): “I don’t have any extra axes, but I can give you an extra machete.”

Cantis (0125): “That’s great. Thank you, Mr. Rene.”

Rene (0401): “Add me as a friend. I’ll set up a trading panel.”

Candice (0125): “Okay.”

…

After a short exchange, the two of them completed the transaction in private.

The machete was worth about 150 wood, but Rene was not short of money.

He desperately needed this clay.

If the guess in his mind could be verified this time, the territory would receive an unprecedented growth.

[System prompt: 100 pieces of wood traded. Obtained: Superior-grade sticky clay+1]

[System prompt: 200 wood and 1 machete traded. Obtained: Earth rune+1]

There were two more sets of materials in Rene’s warehouse.

There was no need to elaborate on the earth runes, what he needed to focus on now was this superior clay.

————

[Superior-Grade Sticky Clay]

[Quality]: Superior

[Introduction]: It can be used in constructing buildings and making them more stable.

————

It was indeed a superior-grade material.

To other players, the only use of this item was to use it as a building material.

In Rene’s hands, it was more useful.

At that thought, Rene left the plains.

He returned to the territory square.

The sky was still dark, but the Fire Rune Slime illuminated the entire territory.

The Flame Slime was responsible for lighting up the square. It was suspended ten meters above the ground by a tree trunk.

Rene went directly under the street lamp and called the unedited slimes over.

“Whether it succeeds depends on this.”

Rene took a deep breath, then focused on a slime.

The Military Unit Editor immediately appeared.

He first selected this slime, then threw the clay inside.

When it was done, Raine felt that it was not enough.

After some thought, he took out the earth rune he had obtained from the warehouse.

Since he had high hopes, he would take a gamble.

The synthesis formula soon appeared.

Ding!

[The ‘slime’ has been confirmed as a body part material. Currently forming a formula.]

[Current formula: (Slime) + (Superior-Grade Sticky Clay) + (Earth Rune) = (???)]

[The fee is 1 gold coin. Would you like to confirm this edit?]

1 gold coin?!

Rene was first shocked, then ecstatic.

The higher the cost of synthesis, the stronger the monster obtained.

It was possible that he would be able to obtain an extraordinary soldier this time.

Rene eagerly chose to be sure.

In the next second, a familiar light shone.

The three materials all turned into light, merging together.

Then, it began to take shape.

In the end, ten seconds later, it gradually turned into a very large mud ball.

Ding!

[Edited successfully!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Earth Rune Clay Monster!]

Just like the Mud Monster, its name was also very unique.

Rene continued to look at the ball of light in front of him until it truly appeared before his eyes.

That was indeed a ball.

Unlike the slime’s semi-sphere, this Clay Monster was a standard ball.

Just like a lump of mud that was made by a child.

————

[Unit]: Earth Rune Clay Monster (Rank 1 Soldier)

[Race]: Slime

[Grade]: Elite

[Level]: 1

[Health]: 30

[Damage]: 5-9

[Hire Cost]: 1 silver coin per week

[Racial Talent]: Healing

[Skill]: Clay Shot, Condense Elemental Clay.

Description: The Clay Monster that accidentally fused with the earth rune can condense the earth element and integrate the earth element into the clay, making it stickier and tougher.

————

“Elite?”

The quality of the Clay Monster surprised Rene.

Although the attributes were average, its real function was to produce clay.

Just like the Mud Monster, the Clay Monster could produce extremely sticky clay. Using it as a building would increase the toughness of the building.

Simply put, its existence was like cement on Earth.

Although it was not as hard as rocks, it was more convenient to use.

Therefore, it was very valuable.

“Let’s try the effect of clay on the construction first.”

Rene arranged for the Clay Monster to be placed in the material area.

At that moment, the workers in the nearby workshop area were already upgrading the various buildings.

Rene didn’t interrupt their work.

He first got the soldiers to start cutting the sticky clay on the Clay Monster.

Building a house required a lot of clay, and it would take some time to see the results.

After arranging this, Rene began to spend the morning training.

During this period of time, two more buildings appeared in the territory, and the total number of buildings reached 15.

As for the level 2 buildings, there were already eight of them after the night and morning rounds of construction.

————

[Elementary Barracks]: 3/3 (Level 1: 0, Level 2: 3)

[Elementary Guild]: 3/3 (Level 1: 0, Level 2: 3)

[Accommodation] 4/∞ (Level 1: 4, Level 2: 0)

[Blacksmith Shop]: 3/3 (Level 1: 1, Level 2: 2)

[Smelting Workshop]: 1/3 (Level 1: 1, Level 2: 0)

[Slime Lair]: 1/3 (Level 1: 1, Level 2: 0)

————

This was something worth explaining.

In the players’ territory, almost all buildings had construction restrictions.

For example, most of the buildings could only be built three times. They could not exceed this limit.

But there were exceptions.

That was the accommodation houses.

It was the only building in the entire territory that could be built without limits.

It didn’t matter how many the Overlord wanted to build.

However, no one would waste their wealth to build extra houses. After all, houses could not directly bring motivation to the territory.
