Chapter 24: Natalie's Weapon Forging Shop!
Editor: Atlas Studios
In this auction, there were three Castle Lords who won the equipment.
The moment these three Castle Lords obtained the equipment, it immediately increased the combat ability of their troops.
Furthermore, they could already put this equipment to use into hunting monsters.
The result was obvious!
The number and speed of the monsters being hunted down were much faster than before.
At this point, Gale gained yet another wave of fame and popularity.
Now, the topic of discussion for the Castle Lords was not entirely about Goddess Rowling. Sometimes, it was more about Gale.
Towards this, Gale did not pay much attention.
Popularity was not that important to him.
He also did not want to have too much interaction with the other Castle Lords.
It was good enough for him to develop alone.
Of course, this did not include those who had the resources he wanted.
If the other party was sincere in cooperating, Gale would still consider it.
The final choice was still in Gale's hands.
He liked to take the initiative.
"Four days had passed in the blink of an eye."
Today was the fourth day since Gale arrived at the Endless Land.
In another three days, the protection period would end, and the beast tide would attack!
It was rather rushed.
Most of the Castle Lords were on the verge of collapse.
Only Gale could be so carefree.
He lay on the soft sofa and ate the fresh fruits that his battle units had prepared for him.
When he dipped it in honey, the taste was simply amazing!
After nearly a day…
The originally empty courtyard was now filled with nearly 300 monster corpses.
There was still some time before night arrived, thus the soldiers were still hunting monsters.
Today, the number of monsters hunted would increase again!
With the addition of the twin angels, the hunting speed of the monsters would naturally become much faster.
There was another piece of news that made Gale happy.
Soon, the Gold Dragon Elena and the Elven Empress Cicely would advance to Tier 6 as well.
At that time, the castle's battle prowess would be greatly enhanced!
Gale watched as the battle units entered the forest once again before beginning his daily 'work'.
That was to deconstruct the corpses of these monsters.
Fortunately, he did not have to do the job of dissecting the monster corpses himself.
Otherwise, with so many corpses, how many years would it take to dissect all of them?!
[Large number of corpses detected. Do you want to deconstruct them?]
"Break them down!"
At Gale's command, the pile of monster corpses in front of him instantly disappeared.
They were replaced by piles of meat.
Gale threw all the fur, claws, teeth, and other materials into the warehouse.
As for the meat, Gale was prepared to give it to his 'partner' in exchange for pure iron.
After all, pure iron was the material he lacked the most at the moment.
Gale opened his [Friend] list.
Every day when he opened this interface, he could see millions of people who had sent over their friend requests to him.
Sometimes, it would even exceed a hundred million!
99.9% of them were here to ask Gale to be their sugar daddy.
Only a small portion of them were the Castle Lords who had top-notch soldiers.
They were all thinking of working with Gale in some way.
However, they were destined to be disappointed.
Gale did not care what sort of battle units they had. It didn't matter to him.
Therefore, he rejected all the friend requests.
It wasn't that Gale did not want to agree.
He was waiting.
He was waiting for the best.
Gale believed that after this beast tide, a large number of Castle Lords would definitely be eliminated.
At that time, those who stayed behind were mostly capable.
It wouldn't be as messy as it was now.
Currently Gale only had one friend in his friend list.
That was his partner, Natalie.
The moment he clicked on Natalie's profile picture, he noticed that she had sent several messages.
Gale could clearly feel the overflowing excitement from the interface.
[Big Boss Gale, you're finally online!]
[I've been waiting for a long time!]
[I'm admiring you more and more. I don't even know what the Goblins look like, yet you killed all of them!]
[Why haven't you replied!]
[Alright, I'm telling you great news this time!]
[Today, my battle units killed a Cave Spider and obtained another blueprint!]
[You must be envious of my luck too, hehe!]
[Furthermore, this blueprint is regarding equipment forging. I have already created it!]
[I can refine all kinds of equipment for Big Boss Gale in the future!]
Looking at the message from Natalie, Gale was a little stunned.
So far, he had killed at least a thousand monsters.
He didn't even see the shadow of a blueprint.
And Natalie had obtained two blueprints in a short period of time!
Furthermore, they were even two interconnected blueprints!
If she used pure iron to forge equipment, it would definitely be a huge profit!
At the thought of this, Gale could not help but sigh. "Natalie, you are really a European Royalty!"
(Note: This term 'European Royalty' is slang that started because there was a popular game in China where the most overpowered character was a Westerner. Hence it's used to describe a person who 'has it all', or is simply op in a certain aspect)
He thought that he was already very lucky to have gotten the ability to select his own battle units.
He never thought that there would be someone more fortunate than him.
When Gale came back to his senses, he sent a message over. [I was busy just now. Do you need related blueprints to forge equipment?]
At the same time, in the depths of a certain mine.
A girl whose face was covered in mud jumped in excitement when she saw her 'idol' reply.
"Look, my idol sent me a message!"
The dwarves, who were working around, could only smile back.
They were already used to this scene.
Ever since their master had reached an agreement with that 'big shot', she had become extremely nervous.
All she did was stare at the virtual interface, not doing any work at all.
Natalie calmed herself down and sent a few more messages.
[I just tested it. There's no need to make blueprints!]
[So long as you use the materials on the monsters or other materials that can be used to forge equipment, you can create it!]
[Oh, that's right, for equipment embedded with Origin Crystals, they require blueprints!]
Equipment embedded with Origin Crystals?
Gale thought of something, taking out the staff.
An Origin Crystal was embedded into the end of the staff.
That was probably what Natalie was talking about.
Also, the materials she mentioned…
Gale happened to have them in spades.
They were the materials that had been separated from the monster corpses.
The entire warehouse was filled with such items.
[I have the materials you mentioned. How do we cooperate?]
Gale replied.
The moment Natalie saw the message, she immediately replied, [Big Boss Gale, you don't need to work together. I can help you forge it for free!]
Gale was stunned when he saw the message.
After pondering for a moment.
He typed a reply: [I don't need any equipment to increase the strength of the soldiers. You can forge some ordinary equipment and sell it on the trading channel in exchange for resources to upgrade your castle and buildings.]
[I'll pay for the materials. You'll be in charge of the forging.]
[I'll take 60% of the price sold, you take 40%.]
[What do you think?]
Gale was not a greedy person.
He and Natalie were just partners, so he naturally had to draw a clear line between their benefits.
