Chapter 5

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Overlord’s Main Hall was the simple wooden hut where the Wang Jue had awakened.

Wang Jue opened the system interface.

After killing the giant lizard today, the system notification stated that it could be broken down.

However, Wang Jue had been busy collecting supplies before. Now that he had some free time, he was very curious about what he could obtain after breaking it down.

Wang Jue directly opened the backpack and tapped to break down the lizard.

In the spirit of not wasting anything, Wang Jue also planned to break down the copper treasure chest and his old leather armor.

Unfortunately, the tattered leather armor was already defective. The system notification stated that it could not be broken down again.

[Crocodile Meat x6]

(LV 1 Lizard Meat is ordinary. It has a good satiation effect and tastes average.)

[Crocodile Blood x2]

(All of a creature’s essence is in the bones and blood. Digesting it will increase your strength considerably.)

[Crocodile Skin x5]

(It has tough defensive ability. It can be used to produce several pieces of leather armor of good quality.)

[Copper Block x6]

After the breakdown was done, Wang Jue opened his backpack again.

[Iron Block x4, Copper Block x9, 400ml Drinking Water x3, 300ml Drinking Water x1, 200g Wheat Bread x1, Crocodile Meat x6, Crocodile Blood x2, Crocodile Skin x5]

And the Logging Axe that was given to Datou, as well as the armor on himself.

These were all he had right now.

Wang Jue took out the crocodile meat. Giving no regards as to whether it was cooked or raw, he took a big bite out of it.

He then drank a large mouthful of crocodile blood.

There was a faint smell of blood, but it was still alright.

Blood could not only satiate his hunger but also quench his thirst. At the same time, it could also enhance his strength. Why not?

“Burp… I’m full!”

…

It was break time and Wang Jue had nothing to do.

He opened the chat channels.

After going around for a while, he realized that many people were begging for food and water.

Five to six hours had passed since everyone transmigrated into the Overlord’s Survival Game.

Wang Jue had already established a guild and built a straw shed.

As for the others, they were still in their own territories, trying to wait for help or hesitating while looking at the unknown surroundings outside.

Similarly, some had been attacked by wild beasts and died!

At the start of the game, every regional channel had 2,000 people.

At this moment, there were only 954 players left in Wang Jue’s regional channel.

This was undoubtedly an unseen pressure.

I have to be cautious when I go around. Otherwise, I will really die.

Some people did not dare to leave their territory and only dared to explore nearby.

When they saw that someone had died, they immediately became dispirited.

“I advise everyone not to act rashly. Other than wild beasts, there are also even more terrifying existences here.”

“I’m lucky. I found supplies once I left the territory. I have enough to eat and drink for tonight.”

“I wonder if the beginner protection mechanism in the territory’s small courtyard is permanent. The beasts outside have been watching me for a day.”

Some got injured, but there were also some who were lucky and managed to gather some good stuff.

…

Wang Jue quietly exited the chat, deep in thought.

There were two matters that were most important to him right now.

First, gathering resources.

Second, exploring the surrounding environment.

His territory was surrounded by forests.

There was lush greenery everywhere. It was still unknown to him how big the forest was.

Other than that, there were also sparse shrubs, as well as various rocks and colorful minerals.

These were the ‘resources’ that Wang Jue could collect.

But apart from that, Wang Jue knew nothing about the resources and dangers in his surroundings.

Now that the five soldiers had arrived, the issue of safety had been barely resolved.

After today’s battle, Wang Jue had gained a certain understanding of the dangers of this world.

Wang Jue thought for a moment and lifted his head. He said to Carl, who was outside the door,

“Carl, I have a task for you. Please explore the perimeters of the territory and report to me all the nearby property, regions, and possible dangers.

“You must return to the territory before dark.”

Carl nodded.

He bowed to Wang Jue and made a hand gesture of holding his chest with a fist.

“As you command, my Lord.”

“Go ahead. I look forward to your good news.”

Wang Jue acknowledged.

The people here had their own habits and beliefs. He could not treat them as emotionless NPCs1.

With that, Carl led the three soldiers out of the Overlord’s courtyard.

Wang Jue watched Carl leave.

At this moment, the Ertou and Santou had also brought back the resources they had just collected.

Two silly farmers, each carrying a small tree and a large rock, walked into the yard.

The moment they entered the courtyard.

The trees and rocks were turned into miniature forms, and were then absorbed into the territory’s storage.

At the same time, at the bottom right corner of the system’s interface.

[Wood+2]

[Rock+2]

This batch of resources took about half an hour to be brought back.

“Too slow…”

Wang Jue shook his head.

There was a severe shortage of manpower.

“Do it yourself for ample food and clothing!

“As a successful Overlord, I have to be an example.”

Wang Jue said confidently as he rolled his shoulders.

Wang Jue picked up an iron axe from the yard and stood outside the small courtyard.

Carl and the soldiers were long gone.

There were only two soldiers patrolling the territory on both sides to guard against any danger.

There were also the three farmers gathering resources within a hundred meters of the small courtyard.

Datou had gotten the Logging Axe and was working hard to cut down a thick tree.

As for Ertou and Santou, one was gathering flax in the bushes, and the other was carrying a basket on his back to collect rocks.

If they were lucky, they would occasionally dig out a piece of black iron ore.

It was noon when Wang Jue had woken up.

Now, it was already four or five in the afternoon.

As long as the three farmers kept up this efficiency, there should be enough materials for Wang Jue to build some basic buildings for living by the evening.

The three farmers were working hard and the soldiers were out exploring. Everything was progressing well.

“Next, let me get to work too!”

He said confidently.

Just as he was about to pick a direction to gather resources.

He suddenly remembered his strategy guide.

Since I have a guide, I should be able to get the details of this area in advance, right?

The thought had just occurred to him.

Immediately, golden words appeared before his eyes.

[This is the borderland of the Kingdom of Luarca, at the foot of the Erman Mountain Range.]

[That’s right, 50 kilometers ahead is the land of the elves, Esala City]

Wang Jue looked at the two sentences.

It seemed like the setting of this world was also extremely vast and mysterious!

Elves, giant lizard creatures, and human kingdoms.

“In that case, are there other races like dwarves, orcs, and dragons?”

He clicked his tongue in wonder.

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot about proper business.”

Wang Jue surveyed the towering trees around him. He could see a golden hint in almost every direction he looked towards.

It was much more dangerous during the afternoon compared to noon. It was time for the beasts to start moving about!

Wang Jue’s eyes felt numb from looking around. He felt that there was no suitable place for him to explore.

He thought for a moment and asked directly,

“Is there anything good nearby?”

He could not help but look forward to it.

If there was even a strategy guide for this, it would be too crazy!
