Everyone Became Lords: I Became A Base-Building Fanatic - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Materials Depleted

“The strength of the beasts will only increase by 30%. What’s there to be afraid of?

“The reason why wild beasts are called wild beasts is because humans know how to use tools and weapons, but beasts don’t. They can only bite mindlessly and master attacks that are only useful in close combat.”

“In the face of tools and weapons, beasts with increased strength are only beasts with greater speed and power.”

Faced with Fang Ping’s self-confidence, the girl’s eyes turned into little stars. She quickly asked Fang Ping how she should deal with the attack of the wild beasts.

“God, since you already have a way to deal with the beasts, can you think of a way for me to deal with the beasts after my strength increases?”

Looking at the girl’s reply, the corners of Fang Ping’s mouth twitched a few times. Then, he replied in an extremely helpless tone.

“Um, have you forgotten why your Dwarf troops went hungry?” “It was precisely because there are no wild beasts in your territory and you couldn’t hunt enough for your Dwarves to eat that you went to the Trading Area to exchange for food and water.”

“Thus, even if others are so worried about being attacked by wild beasts, you shouldn’t be so worried, right?”

When the young girl saw Fang Ping’s reply, both sides of her cheeks immediately felt extremely hot. An extremely awkward expression appeared on her face. At the same time, she cursed herself crazily in her heart.

It was because there were almost no wild beasts around her territory that she went to the Trading Area to exchange for food and water.

Why was she worried that the wild beasts would attack her territory?

Wouldn’t it be better if wild beasts attacked her? It would be a good meal for the Dwarves.

When she thought of this, the pessimism in her heart immediately disappeared and she returned to her previous lively and cute appearance. “Thank you, God. I was frightened by the notification earlier, so I was anxious. I’ve taken up your time. I’m really sorry.”

Fang Ping looked at the young lady whose tone had returned to the same as before and felt a little happy.

“It’s fine. We’re just helping each other. If you die, I’ll have to find another refined iron supplier. It’ll be too troublesome then.”

The young girl, who had been slightly moved by Fang Ping’s words, immediately extinguished the emotions she had stirred up. After replying hastily, she went offline and continued to supervise the Dwarves.

She did not want to continue communicating with this straight man.

“I’ll supervise the Dwarves in their forging. Goodbye.”

Seeing the girl’s name turn gray, Fang Ping was puzzled. Wasn’t she here to solve her problem?

Why did she run away first? Did he not make himself clear enough?

However, with Fang Ping’s low EQ, he would probably never understand the reason for the girl’s actions.

Fang Ping, who could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, immediately threw it to the back of his mind. He put up the results of his Skeleton Soldiers hunting for the entire night in the shop that was exclusive to him in the Trading Area.

After raising the price to five times the original price, he did not even look at the novice Overlords who were complaining in the message board and began to prepare for the first territory test tomorrow.

S

After closing the virtual interface, he walked to the pile of bones in the territory. After summoning the 20 Skeleton Soldiers today, he instructed them to go out with the Skeleton Soldiers he had summoned previously to hunt wild beasts and gather resources.

At the same time, he told them that they had to return before sunset. After dark, all operations would stop. They would stand in their respective defensive positions and prepare for battle.

It was just that his luck today was not very good. He had only summoned 19 ordinary Skeleton Soldiers and a Skeleton Dog. As for the chance to summon other races after leveling up, Fang Ping had not triggered this probability for the past few days. He had only been summoning Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Dogs.

As the novice Overlords nervously prepared for battle, time quickly passed. Soon, night fell and time began to slowly approach midnight.

At this moment, in the World Announcement board, countless people were pretending to be pitiful and asking for help. The closer it was to midnight, the more panic and despair spread among most new Overlords who were not strong enough.

“Gods, if anyone has extra resources, please help me. After the first territory test, when we can freely travel back and forth between the territories, you can do whatever you want.”

“It’s the last day of the sale. Don’t miss out on all kinds of basic resources. There are rare minerals here.”

“Brothers, Gods, can someone teach me how to set up a defense!

“I only have 14 melee Spellblades. How am I supposed to defend my territory?!”

“I’m selling minerals, I’m selling minerals. I’m selling all kinds of mineral resources at a low price. The test is approaching, so I’m selling them at a low price. The sale is only limited to today. If you miss today’s sale, there won’t be such cheap ores in the future. Come and buy!”

Initially, Fang Ping wanted to see if there were any idiots who would pop out at this time to show off their strength. However, after looking at the World Announcement board for a long time, he did not see any.

Instead, they pretended to be pitiful and asked for help. It seemed that after that idiot Ouyang Jing appeared, all the novice Overlords with families and forces supporting them had received a warning and would not easily reveal their strength.

As for the ordinary novice Overlords, those with strength knew how to keep a low profile.

Therefore, almost all the people active in the message board were ordinary novice Overlords with ordinary strength.

However, even excluding those with powerful backgrounds, there was still an extremely large number of novice Overlords like Fang Ping who came from ordinary backgrounds.

After all, compared to a cheat Overlord like Fang Ping, most new Overlords were just ordinary people. A new Overlord who had developed in seven days was like ink dripping into the sea in face of the huge number of new Overlords. It could not cause any ripples at all.

However, although most of them pretended to be pitiful and asked for help, there were also many messages from merchants who sold minerals and resources at a low price in order to exchange for more resources to increase the strength of their territory before the test began.

When he saw such messages, Fang Ping would definitely click on it to see if the merchant had the resources he needed.

Once Fang Ping discovered that they had the resources he needed, he would quickly sweep the goods and continue looking for the next merchant.

As Fang Ping swept through the goods crazily, time passed quickly. When the materials that Fang Ping could exchange for construction resources were exhausted, the hands on his watch slowly merged. It was midnight.
