3 Chapter 3, World Reward (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collection)_1

Translator: 549690339

The 500 Skeletons, though dull, didn’t know what fatigue was when they started working.

Moreover, they held an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

They are hundreds of times more efficient than the other lords.

It wasn’t long before.

In front of the wooden hut, several basic resources piled up into small hills.

“This can’t go on,” Fang Hao looked at the piled-up resources, frowning.

There’s no room to step foot now, and the Skeletons still kept putting materials onto the open space.

[Resources: Timber 420, Stone 340, Thatch 250, Meat 1100, Leather 65, Beast Bone 40.]

“I need to build a warehouse.”

Fang Hao opens the construct column.

[Tier 1 Warehouse: Timber 300, Stone 280, Thatch 100, Hemp Rope 50.]

The hemp rope needed 50 pieces.

Fang Hao first used the thatch to make a hemp rope, triggering a hundred-fold increase, resulting in 101 hemp ropes.

He chose a piece of land next to the Lord’s Log Cabin, then chose to build.

[Tier 1 Warehouse, should it be built?]

Fang Hao confirmed and held his breath.

He wasn’t sure if the hundred-fold effect would apply, resulting in a hundred warehouses.

[Construction Complete!]

The expected hundred warehouses didn’t appear.

A warehouse with a wooden framework and thatch-roof appeared before his eyes.

The remaining materials on the open ground were neatly sorted and put into the warehouse.

The Skeletons passing by Fang Hao consciously bypassed him, putting the resources into the warehouse instead of piling them onto the open ground.

Once the materials ran out, Fang Hao sat down in another spot.

Looking at netizens blowing all kinds of fancy horns…

…

After the resources were consumed.

It didn’t take long before the resources were raised again, thanks to the hard work of 500 Skeletons.

The rate at which resources were being gathered was simply terrifying.

This time, Fang Hao wanted to upgrade his main city.

[Tier 1 Lord’s Log Cabin]

[Lord: Fang Hao]

[Domain Buildings: Tier 1 Underground Cemetery, Tier 1 Warehouse]

(Note: Core Domain Building.)

[Upgrade Material Required: Timber 800, Stone 300, Thatch 100, Hemp Rope 20]

Without much hesitation, he directly clicked upgrade.

The resources in the warehouse disappeared, and the poor cabin was enveloped by a flood of light.

The log cabin expanded a lot and became more sophisticated and stronger.

[Tier 2 Lord’s Log Cabin]

[Lord: Fang Hao]

[Domain Buildings: Tier 1 Underground Cemetery, Tier 1 Warehouse]

(Note: Core Domain Building.)

[Upgrade Material Required: Timber 1200, Stone 600, Thatch 300, Leather 120, Hemp Rope 50]

…

[World Announcement: Congratulations to Lord Fang Hao for being the first in the world to upgrade his Main City! Reward: +50 Influence for all factions, +200 Influence for your faction, +1 Lord Skill for your faction, one special building blueprint, one equipment manufacturing blueprint, +200 Warfire Coins.]

The world announcement sounded three times in the ears of lords all around the world.

The group of lords, who were once filled with anxiety due to hardship, boiled over in an instant.

“What’s going on? It hasn’t been that long but he’s already accumulated enough resources? How is that possible?

“Damn it! Unfair, I’m still feeding my farmers vegetable soup to regain their strength, but he’s already upgrading his main city.”

“How did the guy above acquire food? I’m so hungry.”

“Wild vegetables, just got them from the roadside.”

“This guy must be cheating! Does anyone know how to report this? There must be a reward for reporting.”

“This isn’t a game, where would you find cheats.”

…

Everyone was shocked by this World Announcement.

Everyone was gathering resources, so how did Fang Hao gather enough so quickly?

Everyone crossed over together, so why was he so quick?

With the farmers gathering 20 units of wood per hour, to accumulate 800 was not something that could be done in a short amount of time.

Not to mention the many external factors interfering, making resource gathering more difficult.

Fang Hao shook his head and gave a bitter smile, closed the channel, and checked the rewards he received.

[Bone Manipulation Technique]

[Type: Passive Skill]

(Description: When commanding skeleton undead, mobility +5%, all attributes +2%.)

[Obtained: Green Equipment Blueprint – Two-handed Light Crossbow]

(Description: A handy and efficient light crossbow.)

[Crafting Materials Required: Timber 5, Iron 2, Metal Parts 3.]

[Obtained: Purple Special Building Blueprint – Rejuvenation Spring.]

(Description: Life is conceived in nature, a spring source of life, reminiscent of the taste of mother’s milk.)

[Requirements for construction: 1000 sturdy timber, 2200 stone bricks, 22 natural gems, 12 traces of the forest, 10 traces of spring water, 8 essences of magic.]

Seeing the materials needed for the blueprint, Fang Hao was slightly stunned.

What a big pile of messy stuff.

Of course, the extra reward still made him happy, even if the materials were currently insufficient and couldn’t be built.

In the future, when more resources are mined, he would gradually collect these materials.

The blueprint turned into a beam of light and merged into the Book of Lords.

In the production column, the double-handed crossbow was unlocked.

In the construction column, the Rejuvenation Spring was unlocked.

It’s a pity that there isn’t enough material right now, so he can only wait to produce when he has enough materials.

Just as Fang Hao was studying the rewards, some resources were contributed.

In order to expand the advantage, Fang Hao decided to upgrade the Underground Cemetery.

[Level 1 Underground Cemetery]

[Materials needed for upgrade: 300 lumber, 400 stone.]

After confirming the upgrade.

The cemetery, which was built on a half-underground, expanded a lot.

And the attributes of the building also changed.

[Level 2 Underground Cemetery]

[Recruitment Limit: 5/10]

[Can recruit: Skeletons (free)]

(Note: This building can recruit labor soldiers to do basic work.)

[Materials needed for upgrade: 600 wood, 800 stone, 120 ropes, 2 Shadowstones.]

The recruitment limit has increased from 5 to 10.

This setup gave Fang Hao a pleasant surprise.

The recruitment limit refers to the number of people who can be recruited using the building, not the total population.

Otherwise, even if he built many buildings with 500 skeletons right now, it would be hard to break through the current population size.

This recruitment limit allows Fang Hao to recruit another 5 skeletons.

He chose to recruit immediately.

[Recruitment Available: 0/5 Skeleton, do you want to recruit?]

Recruit!

[100x multiplier triggered, successfully recruited 505 skeletons.]

Wow!

Once again, a white bone skeleton sea appeared on the open ground in front of him.

Fortunately, Fang Hao already adapted and didn’t feel any discomfort.

Fang Hao continued to use the 100x multiplier to make 202 stone axes and 303 stone picks.

“One for each person, go out to collect…”

Howl!!

Before Fang Hao could finish his sentence, a wolf howl came from outside the territory, interrupting his words.

Standing on a stone and looking into the distance.

He saw more than 10 robust prairie wolves pounced excitedly on the working skeletons, gnawing and tearing at them non-stop.

A few nearby skeletons began to attack, but without the number advantage, they were no match for the prairie wolves.

They were torn apart, and bones scattered all over the ground.

“These beasts dared to bully my undead.” Fang Hao cursed angrily.

He yelled at the skeletons outside working: “Kill these wolves for me.”

Although Fang Hao shouted loudly, his voice didn’t carry far.

Even so, nearly 100 skeletons heard Fang Hao’s orders.

They turned together, looked at the prairie wolves.

After a half-second pause, they wielded their weapons and charged at the prairie wolves.

The undead are different from humans.

They can’t feel fear, even if the enemy is stronger than themselves, when the lord issues an order, they will rush up regardless.

For a moment, battles broke out between the groups of skeletons and wolves.

The sound of bones breaking and the howls of prairie wolves echoed around them.

Soon, more and more skeletons gathered around. Six wolf carcasses were left behind by the prairie wolves, and the remaining ones broke through the encirclement and escaped.

Fang Hao walked out of the territory, looking at the chaotic scene.

“Bring all the wolf corpses in and pick up the tools that were dropped.”

The skeletons carried the remaining wolf corpses into the territory, and the rest began to collect the dropped tools.

[First-tier Warcraft Prairie Wolf *6, would you like to slaughter!]

Confirm the slaughter!

[Slaughtering completed, gained 2400 meat, 120 beast skins, 90 beast bones.]

After the slaughter, he gained quite a bit of meat and beast skins and bones.

But Fang Hao was not even a bit happy.

Looking at the skeletons that were injured and broken in the battle, his brows furrowed.

These prairie wolves are ultimately a danger, hindering the skeletons from working, and maybe one day they would attack himself.

Now that the territory’s protection is still there, it’s the best time to eliminate this hidden danger.

“Everyone take up arms and follow me.” Fang Hao shouted and walked out.

Surrounded by over 900 skeletons, they headed in the direction where the wolves had fled.
