Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Hard Currency and Advancement to the North!

Zong Shen was already very satisfied with the production of Moon Well.

In addition, Moon Well also had a skill called “Spring of the Moon Well”.

After using it, it could last for five hours, increasing the production of the Moon Well by 520% and increasing the upper limit of the Moon Well’s capacity.

In other words, it could produce up to 260ml of Moon Spring Water in an hour.

However, the effect of this skill was very strong.

But its cooldown time was also very long.

It took 168 hours, which was a week.

Originally, Zong Shen had planned to use it at a critical moment.

Now that he saw how popular the Moon Spring Water was, Zong Shen directly activated the Spring of the Moon Well, causing the production of the Moon Well to increase rapidly.

After doing all this, Zong Shen went to the [Market] again.

He continued to negotiate.

The next item was a special quest item.

[Swadia Knight Trial Badge]

[The Swadia Trial can be opened.]

[If the trial is successful, you will obtain the Noble title of the Swadia Empire.]

“Noble title?”

Zong Shen looked at the information provided by the badge.

From the looks of it, this item was related to a native force.

However, he did not know what it would do. He did not know how many benefits he would gain.

Furthermore, he had to go through a trial.

This was a tool to gamble on expectations.

After a round of bidding, Zong Shen successfully obtained the badge with an 80ml [Tears of the Moon Goddess].

After it was retrieved from [Market].

Zong Shen played with the badge in his hand.

The engraving on it was that of a mighty prairie lion, its feet stepping on a giant rock embedded with a spear.

Zong Shen stared at the trial badge.

The guide appeared.

(The Swadia Empire is a powerful empire located in the plains of the continent. The value of this badge is very high, but the difficulty of the trial is also not low. After you have enough strength, you can try the trial again.)

(As long as you pass the trial, you can become a Swadia Knight. Every once in a while, you will have the qualifications to recruit a certain number of Swadia Heavy Cavalry.)

“It’s a good thing, but I don’t think it’ll be useful in the short term. Let’s keep it for now.”

Zong Shen instantly understood the value of this badge.

This was the key to opening up the aboriginals power.

In order to gradually progress in this continent, besides the continuous construction of the feudal lord, the native forces were also an important part.

Zong Shen kept the badge in his storage bag and kept it safe.

Now, there was one last item that interested Zong Shen.

It was a blueprint for a building.

[Level 1 Elemental Arrow Tower Construction Blueprint]

[Quality: Superior (Green)]

[Requirement: Stone ×65, Iron ×30, Wood ×80, Hemp Rope ×12, Elemental Crystal ×8]

[Construction time: 6h24m]

[Land area: 10 square meters]

[Height: 12 meters]

[Range: 500 meters]

[Piercing Damage: 60 ~ 69]

[Attack Speed: 3 seconds]

[Every attack has 10% additional 10 Random Elemental Damage]

[Sturdiness: 1,500]

[Armor: 20]

This was a rarely seen defensive building.

After it was built, it could defend its territory and attack all enemies within its range.

However, it required eight Elemental Crystals.

Zong Shen currently only had two.

After some bargaining.

Zong Shen spent 60ml of [Tears of the Moon Goddess] to collect the blueprint.

Everyone was happy!

At this moment, Zong Shen opened the [Market] and prepared to sell three more portions of [Tears of the Moon Goddess]. Then, he made a surprise discovery.

There were a few more people selling [Tears of the Moon Goddess] in the market…

On closer look, the leader was the Arab who had exchanged [Elementary Heart of Strength] for 200ml [Moon Goddess’s Tears]…

He divided the [Tears of the Moon Goddess] into 20 ml and exchanged 100 resources for each!

It was the same for the other “Tears of the Moon Goddess” sold on the market.

Good fellow, Zong Shenzhi thought.

Could it be that these people bought it in order to sell it?

Moreover, with a turn of the hand, their profits doubled!

For a moment, Zong Shen’s Moon Spring Water actually possessed the characteristics of a precious commodity in the market.

It had become a “wealth management product”.

Zong Shen was also dumbfounded by this move.

Zong Shen shook his head.

Three more portions were sold.

One set the transaction price at 999,999.

No one could afford this price at this stage.

This sale was purely used as an advertisement by Zong Shen.

He made a note below: Accepting all kinds of blueprints, special items, and materials. Bring the blueprint for a private chat. No reply for useless chats.

Then, two 40ml [Tears of the Moon Goddess] were put up for sale.

The transaction price was 10 Elemental Crystals.

Judging from the drop rate, Elemental Crystals were much more precious than ordinary resources.

He made a note at the bottom: You can split it up and buy it. For details, private chat!

Right now, there were plenty of resources in the territory. For the time being, there was no need to exchange using the Moon Spring Water.

Moon Well was a special elven building that had long been extinct. Unless someone dug up the remains of the elven race, it was impossible for competitors to appear.

Not everyone was like Zong Shen, who could discover hidden opportunities through the strategy module.

After Zong Shen had been busy for a while.

It was six in the morning.

Birds chirped outside the territory.

The sky had begun to brighten.

Luna woke early.

She rode the black panther to Zong Shen’s side.

Zong Shen turned around with a faint smile on his face.

After the first night of landing, he became more accustomed to the rhythm of the world.

He did not need to work or earn money.

He only needed to continue exploring and building.

Of course, both had one thing in common.

It was all for survival!

“Aren’t you going to sleep a little longer?”

Zong Shen asked with concern.

Luna shook her head.

“As a warrior of the Moon God, I don’t need much sleep to recover my energy.”

“My lord, do you have any plans today?”

Zong Shen’s gaze looked towards the north of the territory. In the area more than 50 kilometers from the pasture, there was a continuous stretch of low mountain ranges.

He heard Luna ask.

He said slowly with a deep gaze.

“We are advancing to the north.”

“Today’s goal is to explore the north of the territory, especially that forest.”

Zong Shen drew his sword and pointed.

Luna seemed to sense Zong Shen’s determination.

Zong Shen continued.

“Your mission today, Luna, is to guard the territory. I’m going north with Iron Pole. I’ll meet up with Colby first.”

“You are responsible for supervising these farmers to collect resources. Today’s strategy is to collect all the basic resources.”

“At the same time, help me observe the [Market] situation and protect the farmers and the Moon Spring Water.”

Zong Shen instructed.

He left behind 10 pieces of fresh wolf meat.

He summoned Iron Pole who was already Nord’s Shadow Scout.

He mounted his old traveling horse. With each of them holding a piece of fine wheat bread, they headed north toward the territory.

A big and a small shadow was cast very long under the sunlight.
