Chapter 116 Another trade and huge harvest!
"My Lord, please wait a moment!"

Cao Xing turned around and asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Elisa said excitedly: “I saw there is a training camp in our territory. Can you train me into a combatant?”

"I want to be a strong warrior too!"

She looked at Cao Xing expectantly, with desire in her eyes.

Cao Xing nodded, "Of course you can, but..."

He glanced at old Mel.

After all, I promised Old Mel that I would raise cattle and sheep after taking them over, but I didn't ask them to fight.

And fighting means the risk of injury or even death.

This is also the reason why Cao Xing gives preferential treatment to those fighters.

Old Mel chuckled and said, "My Lord, Elisa has been lively since she was a child. She even wanted to sign up for the Hog Village militia, but I beat her up and she stopped."

"But through what happened before, I almost know that this girl can't sit still. She might run away again one day."

"If she can learn some fighting skills, she will have the power to protect herself even if she is alone in the wild."

"So, since she asked you to train her into a fighter, it might not be a bad thing."

Hearing her father's agreement, Elisa jumped up excitedly.

"Father, I love you!"

Cao Xing also smiled and nodded, "Okay, wait for me to get some training books and then train Elisa into an archer."

In order to train ordinary citizens in the territory into combat soldiers, in addition to barracks, training books are also required.

The most common ones at the moment are those first-level soldier training books.

Although there are relatively few Ice Archer training books, they are not that precious and should be available on the market.

Elisa said excitedly: "Thank you, generous and handsome lord!"

Hearing what Elisa said, Cao Xing couldn't help but give the little girl a thumbs up.

Have a vision!
At the same time a system prompt appears.

[You agreed to Elisa's request. Territory member: Elisa's loyalty to you has increased. Current loyalty: 77]

Cao Xing was happy. This little girl's loyalty increased quite quickly.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing left the cowshed and began to think about what to do next.

Although his current territory is powerful, most of the fighting force is taken out during the day.

The current territory defense mainly relies on the primary elemental arrow tower.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "So, for the safety of the territory, in addition to building more elemental arrow towers, I also need a group of combatants to stay behind in the territory."

"The imperial soldiers and mage apprentices we recruited today are pretty good. With the various buffs I applied, it won't be a problem for them to deal with the Ice Nest."

"But in addition to that, I also need to train a group of ice archers to stand on the sentry tower to guard the territory."

After thinking for a while, Cao Xing had already thought about which personnel to train as ice archers.

That is the tree spirit tribe.

This race has lived in the jungle since childhood. They are very agile and have the talent of a guardian.

By then, when Cao Xing's pale tree grows out, they can activate their talents even in their territory.

Cao Xing walked and thought as he passed by a vegetable shed.

Inside, the leader Liuhua was planting the carrot seeds and beet seeds.

Cao Xing didn't disturb her and continued to move forward.

Before I knew it, I arrived near the lord's cabin.

Da Zhuang was leading three polar men, building the lord's hut with great enthusiasm.

After seeing Cao Xing, they saluted at the same time and said, "My Lord, are you well?"

Cao Xing waved his hand, signaling them to continue working.

At the same time, he also noticed the upgrade progress of the lord's hut and was secretly happy.

"Very good. The level 3 Lord's Hut would normally take 16 hours to upgrade, but with four Polars together, we can shorten it to 4 hours."

"According to estimates, it will be completed around 10 o'clock in the evening!"

Cao Xing was very excited.

The Lord's Hut is the same as the Campfire, it changes every 5 levels, but it is much more difficult to upgrade than the Campfire.

When it is upgraded to level 6, it will become a lord's mansion, and when it is upgraded to level 11, it will become a lord's castle.

The further you go, the more materials you will need.

"Now, it's time to make a wave of trades."

As usual, Cao Xing came to the side of the [Market] and opened the consignment interface.

He first put a batch of green rabbit meat on the shelves.

However, the quantity this time has been reduced to only 500 yuan, or 5000 copies.

Not long after Cao Xing put the rabbit meat on the shelves, it immediately attracted the attention of the survivors.

Yao Yin: "Brothers, Boss Cao Xing has finally put rabbit meat on the shelves. This time it's only 500 yuan. If you go too late, it will be gone!"

Wei Xinglu: "Damn it! I've been waiting for Cao Xing's rabbit meat for a whole day."

Yan Chang: "Don't grab them from me. I finally got a dozen Ice Dragon Marks today, and I'm waiting to exchange them for food with Boss Cao Xing!"

Yu Huiliang: "Brothers, charge!"

A large number of survivors opened the market and found Cao Xing's consignment information.

After seeing the price of rabbit meat above, which was almost the same as yesterday, everyone rushed to click on the transaction.

At the same time, Cao Xing began to hear trading reminders again.

500 pieces of rabbit meat were sold out in less than three minutes.

Cao Xing once again obtained: [Glacier Flakes] * 2380
[Ice Dragon Mark] *6320
【Cryolite (green)】*431 pieces

[Primary Element Crystal] *114 pieces

[Mithril]*176 pieces

[Primary Pet Contract] *12 pieces

【Ice Archer Training Manual】*6
[Book: Foreman Balin's Journal]

...

The transaction notifications that were flooding the screen gradually stopped.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction. "This wave of harvest is not bad. We received a large number of glacier flakes and ice dragon marks."

He glanced at his reserves of these two materials.

【Glacier flakes】*10432
[Ice Dragon Mark] *21971
"Very good, with so many materials, I should be able to exchange them for a lot of goodies."

"But after these two transactions, I don't have much meat left with attributes. I'll see if I can go hunting outside tomorrow and get some meat."

"The salmon in Snowfall Lake are pretty good, but unfortunately you need special bait to catch them."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing put these thoughts behind him and continued to put things on the shelves.

The next transaction is the highlight.

[Consignment Items: Frost Bomb Rabbit Meat (Blue), Snowstorm Bear Meat (Blue)]

[Stock reserve: 100 pieces each]

[Required items: skill book, territory construction blueprint, magic plant. ]

[Seller's note: Two types of blue quality meat require various magical plant seeds, construction drawings, etc. You can send the item information to me to determine the price. ]

【Consignor: Cao Xing】

The blue quality beast meat did attract a lot of attention in the chat channel again.

But this time, Cao Xing didn't receive much valuable information.

This is because other survivors do have quite a few blueprints, but most of them are duplicates.

The quality of the items in the hands of those players is not high either.

Moreover, through the previous transactions, Cao Xing had basically acquired the basic skills of the Frost Mage and Aurora Knight.

With the current player's strength, there is no way to acquire more advanced skills.

Cao Xing pondered, "It seems that we have to nurture the market for a while, wait for the players to develop for a while, and then harvest them when they have new things."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing cancelled the consignment information of the blue beast meat.

But this time, he still received some good things.
They are:
[Primary Frost Arrow Tower Construction Drawing]

[Primary spike obstacle construction drawings]

[Heroic Longbow Production Drawing (Green)]

[Light Bone Armor Production Drawing (Green)]

All these things cost a total of 30 pieces of blue beast meat, which can be said to be a huge profit.

As for the [Mechanical Factory Construction Drawings] and [Moses Grass Seeds] that he wanted to receive, he did not receive them.

As usual, Cao Xing checked the properties of the newly acquired items.

[Primary Frost Arrow Tower Blueprint,]

【攻击力：225~237（攻击时有30%的使敌人陷入30%的减速效果，持续5秒）】

[Attack interval: 3 seconds/1 time]

[Maximum range: 700 meters]

[Armor: 20 points]

Durability: 2000/4000

【Area: 15 square meters】

【Building height: 14 meters】

【Construction time: 6 hours and 11 minutes. 】

[Construction requirements: wood * 1000, stone * 500, iron * 120, ice crystal stone * 50, mithril * 20]

(Drawing introduction: Have you played Plants vs. Zombies? I think you should understand the importance of ice shooters, right?)
...

"Not bad. The attack power and range are slightly higher than the Elemental Arrow Tower, and it also has a deceleration effect."

"With this arrow tower, by triggering a deceleration, we can deal a few more rounds of damage before the monsters reach the bottom of the city wall."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then began to look at the second drawing.

[Primary spike obstacle construction drawings]

[Building effect: Blocks the enemy's path and causes piercing damage to nearby enemies. ]

[Attack Power: 175~188] [Armor: 20]

Durability: 800

[Area of ​​land: 3 meters wide * 1 meter high]

[Materials required for construction: Wood*30, Iron*5]

【Construction time: 2:44】

(A simple spike obstacle, but it can cause considerable trouble to the enemy.)
...

"Yes, this is also a good thing for guarding the territory."

Cao Xing continued to check.

[Heroic Longbow Production Blueprint (Green): This blueprint can be used to produce a level 10 Heroic Longbow. 】

[Required conditions for production: Blacksmith shop level 2, iron*10, ice crystal stone*5, animal tendon*1. ]

...

[Beast Bone Light Armor Production Blueprint (Green): This blueprint can be used to produce level 10 beast bone light armor. 】

[Required for crafting: Blacksmith Shop Level 2, 15 bones of any beast (green), 5 elemental crystals]

(Note: During the novice protection period, ordinary citizens can be assigned to work in the blacksmith shop. After the protection period ends, personnel with forging skills need to be assigned to operate the blacksmith shop.)
...

Obviously, these two pieces of equipment are matched.

Cao Xing was delighted, "Great! Now we have a place to get weapons and armor for those newly trained archers."

"However, we must also find a way to recruit two blacksmiths."

Cao Xing clicked on all four drawings to study.

Then, the last new item appeared in his hand.

[Book: Diary of Foreman Balin]

[Item attributes: After reading, you can gain a strength +4 attribute improvement]

[Reading time: 6 hours and 20 minutes (cumulative)]

【Click to read. 】

“Another good book.”

"When we have collected more than 100 books, we will build a library so that the people can absorb more knowledge in their spare time."

At this point, the deal is almost over.

At this time, the leader Dahua came over and said softly, "My Lord, dinner is ready."

"Today we have freshly baked bread, steamed rice, and broth made from bear bones and bear meat."

"The two silver salmon you ordered are also ready."

Cao Xing nodded and looked towards the area where the cafeteria was located.

Today's cafeteria has also been upgraded to Level 2, and the area has increased from the original or square meters to more than square meters.

All the subjects can dine there.

The amount of food consumed by so many people every day is also a huge number.

If Cao Xing had not been so powerful and had not brought back a large amount of food and meat, they would not have been able to feed so many people.

At this moment, waves of tempting food aroma came from the cafeteria.

Especially for Da Zhuang and others who had worked all day, their physical strength was greatly consumed. After smelling this fragrance, their stomachs suddenly growled.

Cao Xing knew they were all hungry, so he called out, "Da Zhuang, Cao Yi, stop what you are doing and eat your fill before going back to work."

Hearing Cao Xing's call, all the people stopped what they were doing.

One by one, they entered the cafeteria with excited expressions.

Without a doubt, this is the most anticipated moment of their day.

Every day Dahua prepares a lot of nutritious and delicious food for everyone.

Especially dinner, it is the most sumptuous!
Everyone entered the territory in a large crowd, including the newly joined polar people and the imperial soldiers.

When the newcomers entered the cafeteria, they were stunned by the sumptuous dishes on the table!

There were several tables filled with a wide variety of food.

Golden toasted bread, fragrant rice, and carefully cooked broth.

Everything before them was something they had never seen in the territory of their previous master.

Duan the polar man exclaimed: "Oh my God! What did I see? Toasted bread, even honey and cheese, is this really what we can enjoy?"

The imperial soldiers were also shocked. "Your Majesty! Am I dreaming?"

No one, including the newly joined Old Mel and Elisa, had ever imagined that the living standard in this territory would be so high.

This is simply the treatment of nobility!

For a moment, all the newcomers swallowed their saliva at the same time.

Looking at their excited reactions, Cao Xing also had a smile on his face.

In fact, this meal mainly consumes rice and wheat, and there is not much meat.

Like the past few days, Cao Xing and his friends survived by eating only meat.

But even so, the sumptuousness of the food on the table was beyond the imagination of these newlyweds!

Looking at the impatient expressions of the subjects.

Leader Cao Yi coughed twice and started his speech again.

Half a minute later, Cao Yi's speech ended.

Then he said: "Well, let us thank the Lord for his gift again and start enjoying the delicious dinner!"

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, Lord, for your gift!"

The next moment, everyone picked up their bowls or grabbed bread and began to eat voraciously.

On Cao Xing's side, dozens of system prompts suddenly sounded.

[Your territory member: Lajid has enjoyed a delicious dinner, and his loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 73]

[Your territory member: Sylvia enjoyed a delicious dinner, and her loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 71]

[Your territory member: Duan enjoyed a delicious dinner, and his loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 75]

【your……】

Hundreds of system prompts appear.

All subjects have their loyalty increased by 2 to 3 points.

As for the newcomers, their loyalty was directly increased by 7 to 10 points.

It can be said that the loyalty of all employees has skyrocketed.

At the same time, Cao Xing also noticed that the loyalty of the most difficult person, Hilda, had also increased a little.

However, it seemed that she was not there for the delicious food, but for other reasons.

Xierda looked at Cao Xing with a hint of interest in her eyes.

Cao Xing shook his head, then took Liu Muxue to a dining table nearby.

This is their feeding area.

On a plate above were two silver salmon that he had obtained today from the powerful aboriginal man of Luoxue Lake. They weighed a total of 7 kilograms!

After taking a bite, Cao Xing opened his eyes immediately and said in surprise: "Oh my god... so smooth?"

He could feel that the delicious fish meat seemed to melt directly on the tip of his tongue when it entered his mouth.

It was a flavor without any fishy smell, only the pure meaty aroma.

No wonder that Chinon said that silver salmon is an extremely rare delicacy, this thing is really delicious!

However, the system prompt that Cao Xing was expecting did not appear.

It wasn't until he finished eating the silver salmon in the bowl that the system prompt finally appeared.

[Successfully eat silver salmon, life limit +300, population +3]

Cao Xing was delighted, "Sure enough, the population has increased!"

He originally wanted to try to see if he could increase the population by 9 using just one silver salmon.

But now it seems that the system will not let Cao Xing take advantage of any loopholes.

Just as he was about to continue eating the second silver salmon.

Cao Xing glanced at his bulging belly.

"I'm going to...I'm full..."

"Mu Xue, you can eat this one."

Liu Muxue chuckled and nodded, then began to enjoy the silver salmon.

Compared to Cao Xing's voracious eating, Liu Muxue chewed slowly and seemed very gentle.

It took about five minutes to finish this silver salmon.

Then, the system prompt appears.

[Liu Muxue successfully ate the silver salmon, life limit +300, population +3]

Cao Xing noticed that his population limit had become 106.

However, this was not what surprised him most.

What surprised Cao Xing was that his remaining number of consumptions remained unchanged.

The remaining number of Silver Salmon is still: 2
In other words, he and Liu Muxue can eat a total of 6 silver salmon, increasing the population by 18!
"I didn't expect that the number of times we eat is calculated separately."

Cao Xing was delighted. Although the system did not allow him to exploit any loopholes, since a territory could have 2 to 4 lords, this effect could be accumulated.

After eating and drinking, Cao Xing took Liu Muxue out of the cafeteria and said, "Muxue, our lord's hut will not be upgraded successfully until after ten o'clock. Let's just find a room to rest tonight."

Liu Muxue nodded gently, and said with some shyness on her face: "Well... I'll do as you say..."

The two came to the residential buildings next door, where several houses were still empty.

Every residential room is connected to heating pipes.

Cao Xing pushed open a door at random, and a wave of warmth hit him in the face.

I checked the room temperature.

[Current temperature: 14℃]

"Good, I should be able to sleep well tonight."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to the ice and snow outside, their territory is simply a paradise!
