Everyone Became Lords: I Became A Base-Building Fanatic - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Mysterious Fruit (6)

After thinking for a moment, the Goblin leader made a decision. Since his tribe could not deal with the Skeleton Soldiers alone, he would find someone to cooperate and completely kill the Skeleton Soldiers in the cradle.

Having made up his mind, the Goblin leader immediately ordered the Goblins to bring the Great Elder and some valuable items to another tribe, requesting to cooperate to fight against Fang Ping’s Skeleton army whose strength was unknown.

Just as the Goblin tribe was actively contacting the other tribes and preparing to fight Fang Ping together, Fang Ping had already returned to the territory with 100 firearms and 100,000 bullets.

Looking at the firearms and bullets piled up at the side, Fang Ping sighed at his current attack power. His defense was sufficient, but his manpower was much weaker.

Although he could summon a lot of Skeleton Soldiers every day, as he constructed his territory, he needed manpower everywhere.

Just the acts of guarding the walls, building construction items, patrolling, and hunting required more than a hundred Skeleton Soldiers to execute. Excluding these basic Skeleton Soldiers, there were not even forty Skeleton Soldiers left. He could not take all the Skeleton Soldiers, who were guarding the city gates, with him every time he went out. Fang Ping immediately opened the virtual interface to see if he had obtained any Mysterious Fruits from his shop so that he could upgrade the level of the Undead Summoning Spell again and summon more Skeleton Soldiers.

After Fang Ping opened the interface, he saw two Mysterious Fruits lying quietly in his resource column.

The moment he saw the two Mysterious Fruits, Fang Ping’s heart was filled with excitement. He quickly opened the upgrade interface of the Undead Summoning Spell and clicked on the upgrade button.

The upgrade screen was still the same as before. After flashing a few times on the old interface, it was replaced with a new interface.

[Undead Summoning Spell]

[Level: Level-4)

(Upgrade Requirements: Spirit Stone 0/50, Mysterious Fruit 0/4)

[Post-Upgrade: Fifty Skeleton Soldiers, five Skeleton Dogs, and an additional 20% chance to summon other races.]

Looking at the upgraded Undead Summoning Spell interface, Fang Ping still felt that the number of Skeleton Soldiers he summoned was still too low. It was not enough for him to use at all.

However, without the Mysterious Fruit, it was useless no matter how many Spirit Stones he had. He could not upgrade the Undead Summoning Spell.

He walked to the place in his territory where the bones were piled up. After summoning today’s Skeleton Soldiers, he brought the 40 Skeleton Soldiers and the three Skeleton Dogs, all of which were guaranteed, and handed them to the Elite Skeleton. He asked the Elite Skeleton to lead all the Skeleton Soldiers involved in construction to expand the territory and strive to include the mineral vein in their territory.

During this period of time when the Skeleton Soldiers were expanding the territory, Fang Ping, who was extremely bored, opened the message board in the trading area from time to time. He searched for traces of the Mysterious Fruit and checked if anyone was trading the mysterious fruit.

In his shop, there was still the message that he would exchange 20 Spirit Stones for a Mysterious Fruit.

Unfortunately, there were many people who came to look for him to exchange for Spirit Stones, but none of them could produce anything that interested or satisfied him.

He needed the Mysterious Fruit to upgrade, and others naturally needed the Mysterious Fruit to upgrade their troops. This way, the Mysterious Fruit would be even more precious. Thus, after obtaining the Mysterious Fruit, no one would trade it.

Just as Fang Ping was vexed by the sight, the girl who often traded him iron ore suddenly sent him a message.

As Fang Ping had not mastered the technique of forging refined iron, he had recently traded a lot of refined iron with this young girl. The two of them had become much more familiar with each other.

During the time he was trading refined iron, Fang Ping had asked the young girl if she had any skills in forging refined iron.

However, the girl’s reply was that she did not have the skills to forge refined iron. The ones who had the skills were her soldiers, the Dwarves. Although the Dwarves knew how to forge refined iron, it was something that came with them. They could not tell or teach others about the skills in any form.

Fang Ping immediately opened the private message, wanting to see why the girl was looking for him before the delivery day. “It’s not the delivery day yet. What can I do for you?”

When the girl saw Fang Ping’s reply, she immediately replied.

“God, I’ve sent my Dwarves to investigate the situation around the territory these few days

“Not far from my territory, I discovered a Goblin camp. There was also a mineral vein with considerable reserves.”

“However, the Goblins in the Goblin camp had been wiped out by a team of Skeleton Soldiers from somewhere. Now, the team of Skeleton Soldiers have occupied the mineral vein.”

“It makes me so depressed. I originally thought that I could have a new mineral vein and mine other types of ores to sell, but my hopes were dashed.”

Fang Ping looked at the girl’s message and instantly knew that the girl’s territory must be not far from the mine that once belonged to the Goblin tribe, which was also very close to him.

Although he knew that the girl was near his territory, Fang Ping did not tell her this news. After all, one could not have evil intentions towards others, but one also had to be cautious of others.

No ally could be relied on. As long as the benefits were large enough, no matter what contract it was, the terms were useless.

“It’s fine. Don’t be discouraged. Perhaps if we explore in another direction, we might be able to find a mine without an owner.”

“I still have something on here, so I won’t talk about this for now. Remember not to be discouraged. If you really can’t do it, change directions.”

Without waiting for the girl’s reply, he closed the virtual interface.

After closing the virtual interface, he summoned all the Skeleton Dogs and had them search the surroundings with his territory as the center. They searched for the girl’s territory and if there were any other Overlords around his territory.

Even if he did not have the intention to invade others now, it was possible that other Overlords would have the intention to invade him.

It was better to take precautions and find all the Overlords around his territory so that he would not panic when others invaded.

At the same time, he asked the Skeleton Dogs to pay attention to whether there were any Mysterious Fruits outside the territory.

He really needed a large number of Mysterious Fruits now. Since he couldn’t find any in the Trading Area, he could only search in reality. If he found a Mysterious Fruit near the territory, he wouldn’t need to be troubled over not being able to exchange for Mysterious Fruits.

Upon receiving Fang Ping’s order, the Skeleton Dogs were like wild horses that had run away from their reins. They ran out of the gate and scattered around the territory.
