章 8: Chapter 7: Logging Field Harvest
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
After Richard's excitement subsided, he saw that the gnolls' corpses were scattered all over the ground. He frowned slightly.
Although the gnolls were monsters in the wild, the blood and limbs that dyed the yellow sand were still very visually and psychologically shocking.
This was also the first time that Richard had seen such a horrifying scene.
However, he did not avoid it. He gritted his teeth and walked through the blood and corpses that were scattered all over the ground.
Sooner or later, there would be a larger-scale conflict in this world.
If Richard did not get used to it soon, no one would shelter him from the wind and rain.
Step by step, he left the bloody area. Although Richard's face did not look good, there was a strange aura around him.
[Ding~ Do you want to occupy a resource point -- Logging Field (Small)?]
Richard took a deep breath and nodded.
[Confirmed.]
[Successfully occupied. You have obtained a small-scale resource point. You can send lumberjacks here to cut wood.]
Hearing the system notification, the slightly pale Richard's mood improved a little.
The mummy that was covered in bandages and dyed red entered.
The mummy turned his head and looked around. The five to six-meter-tall trees covered the sky, and the air suddenly became cool.
In the central area, there were seven to eight trees that had been cut down.
There was also a small wooden house next to it. When Richard pushed the door open, he could see that there were more than ten rusty axes inside.
"Not bad. Although I can tell at a glance that it hasn't been used for a long time, as long as I take over it, I can start production immediately."
There were many types of resource points in the game "Shining Era". Some of them were primitive. For example, if it was a forest, then a logging field would need to be built.
However, these types of resource points were usually only found in large-scale resource points. Small-scale resource points could be directly mined. It seemed that the designers had deliberately considered this for beginners.
Now, it has saved Richard a lot of trouble.
After walking around the logging field and finding nothing else, he did not stay, nor was he in a hurry to go back and get someone to cut the wood.
Richard brought the 14 mummies and headed straight for the resource point in the southeast direction.
These two resource points were very close to each other. After crossing the two sand dunes, he saw an area with jagged rocks.
[Quarry]
[Level: Small]
[Reserves: 10,000 units]
[Maximum Output: 1,400 units per week]
[Capacity: Minimum of 2 people, maximum of 7 people]
[Description: Normal resource points can be mined after occupation.]
Compared to small-scale logging fields, the attributes of small-scale quarries had decreased.
1,400 units per week, that was 200 units per day.
Adding the logging field, that was 500 units per day.
Richard's mood improved a little.
Not bad, the harvest was not bad.
With his experience with the gnolls, he was not in a hurry to get close, so he let the 4 mummies continue to explore the way.
As expected, when the mummies approached the quarry, whooshing sounds could be heard.
More than 20 stones flew out from the quarry.
Following the sound of a bang, the mummies were not able to dodge in time and were directly hit.
However, the power of those stones was really too weak…
...The mummies took a wave of damage but were completely fine.
[Ding~ Your army has been attacked by a group of unknown enemies.]
The corner of Richard's mouth twitched.
"Throwing stones?"
"Wasn't this a little funny?"
"Mummies, attack! If the enemy isn't strong, leave a few alive."
Using stones to hit people, it was a field army that guarded the small-scale resource points.
Richard really could not imagine how powerful the enemy could be.
He left two mummies to protect him, while the rest were sent out.
The distance of dozens of meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
The power of the stones thrown by the enemy was weak, to begin with, and when they hit the mummies, who ignored the pain of the undead, it was as if nothing had happened...
"Ah!!"
After the mummies rushed into the quarry, they heard a scream filled with fear, and soon, they regained their calm.
[Ding~ Your army defeated a group of long-armed laborers and won a small-scale battle. You have gained 30 experience points.]
[Level: 1(64/100)]
Richard nodded in satisfaction. As long as he had won the battle, he would be able to level up.
The harvest was not bad.
Richard walked towards the quarry.
When he arrived at the center, a group of ugly creatures with terrifying faces was sitting on the ground.
There were seven or eight corpses around them.
The mummy was standing by the side coldly.
These ugly creatures had four canine teeth protruding out of their lips, and their faces were very ferocious.
Their bodies were almost the same as ordinary humans, but they had a pair of long, sturdy arms that were over the knees. They looked quite sturdy.
[Long-armed Laborers]
[Level: 1]
[Potential: Normal 1-star]
[Skills: Endurance (E-rank) -- Able to withstand extremely tough working conditions.]
[Racial Talent: When food is sufficient, stamina can be recovered quickly.]
[Fetters: When the number of long-armed laborers is greater than 10, stamina recovery speed increases by 20%.]
[When the number of long-armed laborers is greater than 20, stamina recovery speed increases by 40% (Activated).]
[Description: Don't hit them, Lord. They will go to work right away…]
"Good!"
"There was such a strange army?"
No wonder they were called laborers. The talents of these guys were simply too suitable for work.
After Richard appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the laborers. When they saw the respectful posture of the mummies, they were instantly startled awake.
They immediately turned around and knelt down toward him. Pressing their heads against the ground, they shouted excitedly.
"Great Lord, we are willing to submit to you, don't kill us..."
[Ding~ A group of long-armed laborers admires your strength after losing the battle and wants to submit to you. Do you want to accept?]
"Was it that simple?"
Richard laughed.
These guys were indeed suitable to be squeezed dry. They were practically the welfare of capitalists.
"Accept it."
[You have obtained 30 long-armed laborers.]
[Ding~ Do you wish to occupy the quarry?]
"Occupy it."
[You have obtained a small-scale quarry. You can send miners to carry out mining.]
Richard waved his hand and pointed at the first long-armed laborer who knelt down and surrendered.
"I have appointed you as the person in charge of the quarry. You will be responsible for managing the production of the quarry. At the same time, I will assign six laborers to you. You have the right to manage the other laborers!"
The long-armed laborer was overjoyed and knelt on the ground.
"Great Lord, I will definitely produce more ores for you!"
[Ding~ You have used language to motivate a long-armed laborer. The efficiency of the subordinates under your jurisdiction in mining ores has increased by 20%. Duration: 3 days.]
"This could work?"
Richard was delighted.
Good god, could he send people to encourage him every once in a while in the future?
After searching the quarry and finding nothing else, Richard left seven laborers to mine the stone.
At the same time, he appointed a laborer as the head of the quarry and led the other nine people to work in the quarry that had just been occupied by the treasure.
The appointed laborer was also particularly excited and had the characteristic of increasing efficiency by 20%.
After this round, not only did they occupy two resource points, but they also gathered all the workers.
And Richard didn't pay anything. He even had one or three long-armed laborers in his hands.
These gains made Richard very motivated.
But after thinking about it, he was a little distressed.
"Although the laborers are useful, they have 30 more mouths to feed."
"There are only three days of grain left, and it's going to shrink again..."
He had just opened the [Trading Market] to take a look, and there was no food for sale.
There were a few scattered items, and the prices were also extremely outrageous. Moreover, they were quickly sold out, so it was difficult to buy them.
"It seems that logistics will become the key point to restrict the development of the territory in the future."
Richard looked at the mummies beside him with lingering fear. Fortunately, they did not need to consume food, or else they would really die.
The resource point in the northeast direction was slightly further away. It took about half an hour to get there from the quarry.
The speed of the 13 laborers was too slow, which slowed down the marching speed.
It was very difficult for these guys to walk in the sand.
After climbing over a low sand dune, Richard looked at the mark on the map and saw traces of the third resource point.
Iron mine…
The desert around the iron mine had become dry and hard ground. The oil-black ores piled up together. It looked very conspicuous.
[Iron Mine]
[Level: Small]
[Reserves: 20,000 units]
[Maximum Output: 2,100 units per week]
[Capacity: Minimum of 5 people, maximum of 10 people]
[Description: An ordinary iron mine can send miners into it to mine ores.]
With the previous two experiences, Richard did not hesitate and waved his hand.
He let the 14 mummies press on.
At the same time, the remaining 13 laborers picked up the stones scattered on the ground.
This created a formation with warriors at the front and ranged attacks at the back.
It was an extremely simple version.
When the bandaged mummy approached the iron ore, a piercing sound came from the air.
More than 20 arrows pierced through the sky and then through the bandaged mummies' bodies.
[Ding~ You have angered a group of desert bandits.]
