章節 11: Chapter 11: Never Empty-Handed! Resource Detection

編輯: Dragon Boat Translation

There was a slight stiffness in Ji Chen's body as he thought of this.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the Murloc beside him and frowned.

One of the Murloc actually tied the pink pantie to the tip of the spear. Under the envious gazes of the other Murlocs, it raised the spear high and waved it like a general.

Ji Chen was stunned by the scene.

When he came back to his senses, he slapped the Murloc's head with a big bag to stop the perverted behavior.

"Four of you stay. The rest of you go into the water and catch some fish."

Upon hearing the order, the Murlocs, who had their fun interrupted, immediately became excited and jumped into the water one by one.

Ji Chen had a stubborn look on his face.

As long as he could bring back some fish, he wouldn't be considered leaving empty-handed!

Murlocs were indeed good swimmers and disappeared instantly under the water.

According to the connection between the lord and the troops, he could sense that they had already rushed into the water and were spreading out to search for fish.

Watching the Murlocs swim effortlessly as though the water was the place where they belonged, he nodded in agreement.

In fact, there was no need to worry too much about food with the Murlocs around. Wasn't catching fish in the sea a simple matter for this type of unit?

After more than ten minutes, the Murlocs returned one after another, each trident holding several sea fish, each weighing an estimated three to four pounds.

In the end, they obtained about 240 units of food, which was even more than what they had obtained from killing octopuses.

His evaluation of the Murlocs increased a little.

Looking at the silly Murlocs, they were quite talented in catching fish.

He packed up his things and returned to the territory with his fishing harvest.

When the residents saw the fish on the Murloc's spear, they cheered again.

His gaze toward the Murlocs softened.

After setting up the projection of the Resource Detection Tower, Ji Chen immediately instructed Wilus to gather manpower to begin construction. He had to finish it by tomorrow.

The setting sun on the surface of the sea fell to the sea level, and the last trace of orange sunlight disappeared completely.

Night finally fell.

However, in the jungle of the island, the clearing was brightly lit.

People sat around the campfire, eating large chunks of octopus meat and holding warm fish soup with softened dry food in it.

Everyone looks relaxed and smiling sincerely.

Even without any seasonings, they still felt that this meal was extremely delicious.

After enduring hunger and cold on the island for over half a month, they truly appreciated the sumptuous feast provided by the great Feudal Lord. 

In their hearts, they made a solemn oath to work even harder for the Feudal Lord.

"Ding ~ Because of sufficient food, the people's sentiment in the territory has increased by 10 points. The labor efficiency of the residents has increased by 10%."

Ji Chen was momentarily stunned but then shook his head with a smile. These people were so easily satisfied. 

Just a little bit of food made them so grateful, unlike some who would almost cry from their first bite. 

The Murlocs on the other side were a completely different story. Each of them fiercely grabbed a piece of the sea lizard's corpse.

Not only were they eating in big mouthfuls, but they were also croaking, singing, and dancing happily.

The Murlocs had their own fair share of happiness.

Jin Chen also ate an octopus tentacle.

It must be said that the shallow-water octopuses had little combat strength, but the meat was truly delicious. 

The chewy texture and juicy flavor filled his mouth after eating it. As for the fish caught by the Murlocs, it was unknown what species they were, but they were natural and free of pollution. 

The fish had a milky fragrance and melted in the mouth, ten times more delicious than the so-called large yellow croakers.

In the past, he would never have dared to dream of such delicious food.

Satisfied and full, Ji Chen walked into the lord's manor.

However, he noticed that Wilus had brought along a young blonde girl who looked quite eye-catching, with freshly washed hair.

"Sir, may I present this young lady to you?" Wilus bowed respectfully and asked.

Ji Chen's interest was piqued upon hearing this.

The next day.

Ji Chen stepped out of the lord's manor feeling rejuvenated, with the golden-haired girl trailing behind him.

"You did a great job last night. Your massage skills are impressive, and I'm quite satisfied," he praised her.

The girl beamed with joy and gratitude, bowing her head and saying, "I'm happy to be of service. Please let me know if I can assist you further."

"Sure, come by tonight for another massage," he replied.

Ji Chen sighed as the girl departed.

"Being a lord is so dull," he muttered to himself.

After completing overtime work on the Resource Detection Tower, located in the open space above the manor, he summoned the Murlocs and made his way to the tower to activate the week's first resource detection opportunity.

A beam of golden light shot out from the top of the tower, visible only to him, flying northeast and halting about a kilometer away from the territory, forming a pale golden pillar of light several meters tall.

That was most likely the location of the first resource point. "Eh? Why does that place seem to be near the waterfall in the mountain that I saw yesterday?"

"That's good. I'll explore that place today."

In order to make the most of his time, Ji Chen utilized all three resource detection opportunities, resulting in three golden pillars of light shooting into the sky, indicating the location of each resource point. 

The closest point was near the mountain waterfall, while the other two were situated two kilometers north and three kilometers east of the territory respectively. 

After considering his options, Ji Chen decided to start with the closest point and brought along 21 Murlocs. 

They followed the narrow path used by the residents to access the river in the north, which was considerably narrower than the path leading to the beach, with its widest part measuring less than three meters and featuring numerous twists and turns.

This was the first time Ji Chen had truly experienced the wonders of this terrain.

Both sides of the path were filled with dense trees and ferns. Vines wound around the trees and hung down from the branches.

Everything was green.

The trees were green, the vines were green, the low vegetation was green, and even the rocks were covered in green moss.

He took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with a fresh smell.

However, what followed was a slightly moist sensation, making his skin feel a little sticky.

The road under his feet was not easy to walk on. The wet mud made him feel very uncomfortable every time he stepped on it. His boots were soon stained with thick mud.

Ji Chen grumbled as he trudged through the difficult forest.

Eventually, they reached the river where the villagers fetched their daily water. The river flowed from east to west, disappearing around a distant bend in the jungle. Upstream was the waterfall, which was the source of the river.

Ji Chen was pleased with this discovery. By following the river upstream, they could avoid the effort of hacking their way through the dense jungle. Even without the river's guidance, they could still follow the pale golden pillar of light in the sky to stay on course.

They walked briskly along the flat riverbank towards the waterfall, making good time.

Ten minutes later, the river made a sharp turn to the north and flowed straight towards a waterfall that was more than 20 meters tall. The waterfall cascaded into a deep impact pool below. The river flowed down from upstream, forming the waterfall in this area with a significant height difference. The combination of the waterfall, surrounding vegetation, and sky created a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

As Ji Chen approached, he noticed the vague figure of a "person" standing beside the pool. This immediately put him on guard. He cautiously moved closer to the river and took cover behind a large rock by the water's edge. Peering out from behind the rock, he observed the scene before him in the dim light.

To his surprise, he saw thirty to forty hideous, hunchbacked humanoid creatures with eyes as big as copper bells playing in the water and bathing at the edge of the pool under the waterfall.

Ji Chen's expression twisted with disgust as he witnessed the clear pool turning muddy and dirty. 

The filth spreading downstream along the river was revolting. The humanoid creatures, with their hunchbacked and hideous appearance, were playing and bathing in the water. 

Ji Chen realized that the water they received downstream was probably the bathwater of these creatures, which made him feel even more disgusted and nauseous.

章節 12: Chapter 12: Surprise Attack! Coarse Iron Mine

編輯: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chen was dissatisfied as he reviewed their stats.

[Cave Miner]

[Level: 3]

[Tier: 1, 7 stars]

[Skills: Dark Vision (green skill, provides excellent night vision and clear surroundings in the dark), Ore Scent (green skill, can accurately detect the scent of various ores)]

[Troop Characteristics: Grass on the Wall (when the number of troops exceeds that of the enemy, morale increases greatly. When the numbers are fewer than the enemy's, morale decreases greatly)]

[I love mining!]

They were only Tier 1 soldiers with 7 stars, and their skills were all non-combat related.

Individually, they were no match for the Murlocs in terms of combat power.

However, their numbers were significant. With 39 soldiers, they outnumbered the Murlocs by almost twice the amount.

Coupled with their military characteristics, if they swarmed up to attack, they might cause a lot of damage to the Murlocs.

If it was possible, he wanted to get rid of them without any damage.

He looked at the cave miners who were brazenly bathing by the pool.

Ji Chen suddenly had an idea.

He turned around and spoke softly to the Murlocs.

"You guys quietly dive into the river and swim upstream. While the enemy is bathing, drag them into the pool and drown or stab them to death."

"Remember, attack at the same time and drag down as many enemies as possible at once."

"Use a stealthy approach, and don't make any loud sound."

After receiving the order, the Murlocs nodded and tiptoed underground, diving upstream.

In order to maximize their chances of success, he didn't leave even a single Murloc guard behind and sent all of them. 

The Murlocs' skill in Diving played a huge role. They swam from the river into the pool and approached their targets slowly and deliberately, without stirring up any water or making any movements that would alert the cave miners, who were happily rubbing themselves. 

They had no idea that danger was closing in on them.

"It's so happy to take a shower ... Ah-"

Splash~

Water splashed as the Murlocs broke through the surface of the water and dragged the cave miners into the pool. 

Some of the miners were caught off guard and pulled towards the center of the pool, sinking into the water. 

Others were dragged to the deeper part of the pool by the Murlocs and impaled by bone spears. Blood instantly dyed the pool red.

In total, 16 cave miners were killed or drowned in the ambush, but five Murlocs lost their grip, allowing their targets to climb ashore and escape.

The remaining cave miners who were not attacked were so frightened that they ran to the shore and picked up their pickaxes to rescue their companions. 

However, they encountered the Murlocs who had already come ashore and were covered in blood.

"Ding ~ You have entered combat mode. Morale assessment in progress…"

"The morale of our River Murlocs is at 68 points. We have entered an advantageous state."

Other than the slight loss of morale due to the slight suppression of numbers, the other aspects of the Murlocs increased morale.

At this moment, he was not afraid of the Cave Miners.

When the Cave Miners saw that there were fewer Murlocs than them, their morale was boosted. They rushed forward, cursing, wanting to avenge their dead companions.

They did not believe they would be defeated because they had more units on their side.

They had to kill these despicable Murlocs who were hiding in the water!

Two minutes later.

"Ding ~ The battle has ended. The enemy has surrendered. You have won a glorious victory."

"No deaths, +20% extra experience. Defeating a large number of opponents with fewer opponents +20% additional experience reward. Enemy surrenders +20% extra experience."

[You have received 120 EXP. You have leveled up (1→2). Current EXP is [20%/100%].]

[Your River Murloc has leveled up (1→2). Current EXP is [20%/100%]].]

The notification sounded, and a comfortable heat flowed through his body.

He felt like he was reborn. His vision appeared clearer, and his body had become lighter and stronger. It was as if the impurities in his body had been expelled.

Sensing the changes in his body, Ji Chen exhaled heavily.

With a relaxed look on his face, he walked towards the pool where the battle had ended.

...

"Please spare us, sir! We are willing to surrender to you!"

The remaining 18 miners knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Ji Chen was expressionless as he paced in front of them with his hands behind his back.

His tone was cold.

What use do you think I have for keeping you? Would it not be a waste of resources?

The Cave Miner immediately became anxious.

"We can find our own food. We don't need you to provide us with food! And we can mine!"

Ji Chen's heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change.

"Mining? Are there any mines nearby?"

"Of course! There is a mine not far from this waterfall. We are mining there!"

The Cave Miner's eyes darted around as he said flatteringly, "Of course, that mine now belongs to you, my lord!"

These cave miners were tactful.

He had no intention of killing them in the first place. Now, he could subdue them to mine for him.

Ji Chen's expression did not change. He replied in a nasal voice, "Then take me there now."

When the miners heard this, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief and began to lead the way.

As one of the miners led the way, he bowed and said, "Sir, this way please."

He was like a guide in a movie.

They followed the path that the miners had cleared through the jungle and soon arrived at the nearby mine, which was the first resource point.

The mine was situated at the base of a small mountain, and a dark mining cave was visible. Wooden supports were used to reinforce the rocky walls, and the interior was dimly lit.

A pile of rust-red ores was stored in a straw shed outside the mine, and several straw huts were built nearby to store the tools.

[Coagulate Iron Mine]

[Scale: Miniature]

[Level: 1]

[Main production resource: Heavy iron]

[By-product produced: Stone [Production is one-fifth of the main resources]

[Storage: 3200/3500 units]

[Maximum weekly production: 700 units]

[Weekly Personnel Production: 50 units/person]

The reserves of the crude iron mine were still small.

Ji Chen didn't feel disappointed despite the underwhelming resource point. 

He knew that resource points in close proximity or with low danger levels were typically low-level with limited reserves, as per the rules of "Lord of Glory." 

The high-level resource points, on the other hand, were guarded by stronger field troops and located in perilous areas, making it difficult to exploit them.

The mini crude iron mine they found was capable of producing 700 units of crude iron per week, with each person contributing 50 units. 

It could also generate a small amount of stone. This meant that only 14 people were required to maximize production, leaving four out of the 18 cave miners with no work. 

Unfortunately, Ji Chen didn't have any other mines to put them to work, so they would have to continue mining here.

Fortunately, the territory provided food, so they didn't have to search for it themselves. 

Ji Chen acknowledged his humanity and felt a responsibility to take care of the miners. Denying them food and making them perform laborious work would be nothing short of exploitative capitalist behavior.

After securing the mine, he proceeded to the straw shed and gestured for the cave miners to hand over the ores they had extracted.

" Ding! You have received 300 units of crude iron. "

After warning the cave miners not to bathe in the waterfall pool in the future.

Ji Chen led the Murlocs to the second resource point.

There were no shortcuts this time. The second resource point was situated deep within a dense forest, requiring them to hack their way through thistles, thorns, and shrubs that were half their height.

It took them half an hour of arduous trekking to finally reach the pale golden pillar of light that indicated the location of the second resource point.
