Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Harvesting the Lord’s Wealth

After Iron Pole changed his Class to Nord’s Shadow Scout, his overall attributes had increased by a lot.

But compared to Colby and Luna, there was still a huge difference.

This was related to his aptitude and level.

The level of Iron Pole was only Level 1.

If he were to level up, his attributes would probably not be much worse than that of other people of the same level.

“In the future, you will shoulder the responsibility of exploring the wilderness for your territory. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Zong Shen encouraged Iron Pole at the end.

Iron Pole nodded firmly.

At this moment, he looked at Zong Shen with admiration.

“Iron Pole will not disappoint His Lordship!”

“Alright, go back and rest. I’ll arrange a mission for you when the sun rises.”

Zong Shen waved his hand and let Iron Pole return to the straw shed to rest.

At that moment Colby walked over.

Fenrir was still sleeping.

“Lord…”

Colby bowed to Zong Shen.

“Why aren’t you resting?”

Zong Shen looked at Colby’s determined face and asked curiously.

But Colby shook his head.

“My lord, I have a bad feeling.”

He looked worried.

“What’s wrong? Is it because of the Goblin tribe during the day?”

Zong Shen asked with concern.

Colby nodded.

“This Goblin tribe is very powerful. Though I was able to shake off my tail when I escaped, I still feel like I’m being watched…”

“This feeling is wrapped around my heart, making me restless.”

Hearing Colby’s words, Zong Shen also frowned.

“Is there something wrong with Colby?”

He began to question the guide.

(Colby has been marked with a tracking beacon by a Goblin Mage. This magic beacon will continue to locate him for a day. Of course, you can also use Mana Expulsion to remove the beacon.)

(But don’t worry, tracking beacon can only form a vague direction guide in the caster’s mind)

The next moment, a golden guide appeared.

Zong Shen’s expression also turned grim.

The Goblins had used Tracking Beacon on Colby to trace the root of the problem.

His territory might have been exposed.

He needed to make plans early.

“Colby, you’ve been given a tracking beacon.”

“The Goblins might have discovered our location.”

“Leave the camp immediately and advance forty to fifty miles north to wait for me. I’ll meet up with you after dawn.”

“We have to keep moving to confuse those damn goblins.”

Zong Shen thought for a moment and thought of a solution.

According to the strategy guide, tracking beacons as a magic beacon would only form a vague position in the mind of the caster.

In essence, it was not a very brilliant tracking spell.

Therefore, as long as he maintained his position, stayed, and kept changing, it could confuse the caster.

It was already past four in the morning, which was almost the end of the night.

At this place, the sky fell dark early and brightened early.

The sun had already risen in the eastern sky, and the darkness around them gradually dissipated.

In another hour or two, it would be completely daybreak.

Outside the territory, the excited beasts that had been howling for half a night had also disappeared.

There were footprints all around the territory.

Hearing Zong Shen’s words.

Colby didn’t dare delay.

He quickly woke Fenrir.

He got on the giant wolf and was about to leave the territory.

Zong Shen took out two pieces of refined camel meat from his storage compartment and handed them to him.

As rations on the road.

Colby took the dried meat, saluted again, and rode Fenrir north.

Zong Shen watched Colby leave.

He turned around and walked to [Market].

In less than two hours, the three portions of Moon Spring Water were sold out again.

It was the middle of the night. Were these Feudal Lords not sleeping?

A Level 1 [Market] could only sell three items, which was not enough for Zong Shen.

Construction of the [Market] was not considered construction of a basic building. The next level of blueprint was needed to be upgraded.

It looked like he had to get the blueprints for the Level 2 market as soon as possible.

These three portions of Moon Spring Water were exchanged for 200 portions of wood and 80 portions of hemp.

Now, the four basic resources in Zong Shen’s hands had reached a terrifying number.

[Wood x 331]

[Stone x22]

[Iron x60]

[Textile x117]

On the contrary, the stones were lacking.

However, this was very simple.

After selling two waves of Moon Spring Water, the total amount was 240ml. In addition to the output over the past few hours, the amount of spring water not only did not reduce, but it also increased quite a bit.

He took a few more portions out.

This time, only one portion was sold.

He only requested to trade for 100 stones.

In less than three minutes, it was purchased by a Lord.

That was too exaggerated!

With this Moon Spring Water, Zong Shen could completely solve the problem of lacking resources in the early stages.

Not only that, Zong Shen was using the Moon Spring Water’s powerful effect as an advantage to obtain the wealth of other lords!

At this moment, he started to check the pile of private messages.

Thousands of Overlords had sent him private messages, indicating that they had blueprints or special items.

Unfortunately, those that were truly valuable were few and far between.

Or rather, those that were truly valuable, the Lords were unwilling to exchange them.

After all, resources could be reborn and could be collected continuously. Precious blueprints and materials could only be found by chance and not by searching for them. It would be very helpful in the early stages of development.

After searching through the keywords, Zong Shen finally confirmed the items provided by the three lords.

Two of them were special items.

One of them was a building blueprint.

Zong Shen checked the special item first.

After all, the night was long, and he still had plenty of time to slowly grind in the market before dawn.

[Elementary Heart of Strength]

[Strength+6]

This item directly increases the basic attributes.

It was expensive.

Zong Shen estimated that the other party might take the opportunity to strike the bamboo pole.

After all, after selling two waves of Moon Spring Water, it had become a real hard currency.

Every portion of [Tears of the Moon Goddess] was a precious indication that could be exchanged for a large amount of resources.

After Zong Shen replied.

The other party replied quickly.

This was an Arab lord called Mohammed 1985717. As expected, he chose to demand an exorbitant price.

The moment he asked for it, he requested to exchange for 400ml of [Tears of the Moon Goddess].

Zong Shen flatly refused.

[Tears of the Moon Goddess] was a rare commodity.

Six more points of strength might not save his life, but one portion of [Tears of the Moon Goddess] meant one more life.

In the end, after some bargaining, the deal was settled at the price of 200ml Moon Spring Water.

Zong Shen sold it for 200ml at one go, and the price was designated as the item [Elementary Heart of Strength].

Soon, the deal was made.

The 200ml Moon Spring Water emptied half of Zong Shen’s inventory.

However, Zong Shen did not panic at all.

There was still about 250ml of spring water in Moon Well.

Furthermore, it could increase by 50ml per hour!
