An iron pot isn't exactly an essential item.
Moreover, there is already an iron pot in my inventory, obtained from a raid on the Gnoll camp.
However, given the psychological burden of having previously cooked human flesh in it, it has been sitting unused.
Now, someone is selling an iron pot blueprint, so I can manufacture a brand new one.
"Can do." The other party replies, then added, "Brother Fang Hao, once you've learned the blueprint, I could provide the materials. Could you make me a pot, uh… Hehe."
Fang Hao immediately understood his intention.
Pretty smart idea.
At the current level of the domain, one iron pot is enough.
He sells the blueprint to me in return for three iron axes, then asks Fang Hao to make him another pot.
He's taking no loss at all.
"Of course, sell me more blueprints next time." Fang Hao generously says.
He wasn't particularly bothered about it.
With a hundredfold increase, it's impossible for any deal to constitute a loss.
One set of materials can create a hundred products, it's the blueprint that is hard to come by, not the materials.
"Thank you, brother, I'll list it right away."
Soon, an iron pot blueprint appeared in the designated transaction list.
After giving the other party three iron axes, Fang Hao received the iron pot blueprint.
[Iron Pot: Wood 6, Stone 6, Iron 3.]
Craft!
[Triggered Hundredfold Increase, received 101 Iron Pots.]
A flash of light occurred.
101 Iron Pots appeared on the open space in front of me.
The new iron pots are different from the ones seized from the Gnolls.
The newly crafted pots were one-piece, with a wooden pile below and an iron pot on top.
He chose one and gave it to the other party, fulfilling their agreement.
He kept three pots for himself and put the rest, along with the remaining Gnoll iron pots, up for sale.
[Trader: Fang Hao]
[Registered Item: Iron Pot]
[Quantity: 98.]
[Required for 1: 5 units of iron ore.]
(Note: If there are special resources, blueprints or items, we can have a private chat.)
...
Finished off all the work.
Fang Hao summoned a skeleton, "You will be in charge of boiling water."
The skeleton proceeded as instructed, bringing the stone materials to the warehouse to start boiling the water.
There were 101 buckets of stored water in the domain, no need to fetch it from a distance anymore.
Fang Hao continued to open the Book of Lords and navigated to the "Manufacture" page.
He selected a "Bath Bucket".
[Bath Bucket: Wood 5, hemp rope 3.]
Manufacture.
[Triggered Hundredfold Increase, received 101 Bath Buckets.]
The iron pots had not all been sold yet when a large number of bath buckets appeared again.
He would offer the extra buckets for sale, but not at present.
Prolifically selling a large number of items could attract attention from potential buyers.
There's no rush, he could sell them in broad daylight the next day.
Guided the skeleton to move the buckets to the open space next door.
Water was boiling now.
After adjusting the water temperature, he quickly took a bath.
Having taken a bath, he felt rejuvenated, full of spirit, and relaxed.
Stepping out of the bath, he spread his arms wide, waiting for his body to air dry.
The feeling of complete relaxation while basking in breezes felt pleasantly good.
...
Next, he started preparing dinner, boiling a pot of meat soup.
He idly switched on the [Area Channel] to pass time.
"Hey! Have any of you used Brother Fang Hao's pots yet? Any special situations?"
"Nothing at all, why?"
"I foraged for some mushrooms and wild veggies and made a pot of soup. I didn't even add any meat, so why is there oil floating in it, and that meaty aroma... it's like I've boiled a pot full of meat."
"Stop bragging, man."
"Is it real or fake? I also made mushroom soup, but it's clear as water."
"It is true. I just tasted it, and it does taste like meat soup."
"Damn, brother, you've found a treasure, isn't this a daily meat soup?"
"I suspect your pot has a hidden attribute."
"Would you sell it? I'd buy it at high price."
In an instant,
the channel was filled with discussions about iron pots.
The iron pots listed for sale were rapidly selling out.
Some people need a pot.
Others buy it, hoping to get an iron pot capable of brewing a vegetable broth.
Fang Hao did not expect such a thing to happen.
The pot for cooking green vegetables, which produces oil, should be the iron pot from the Gnoll camp.
After all, years of cooking meat in it can leave some traces of grease.
Having arranged everything.
He went to bed to rest.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
He stepped out of the lord's wooden house.
He yawned and marked the fourth day on the side.
He cooked breakfast on the fire.
After breakfast, he jogged around the boundary of his territory, doing some basic exercises such as sit-ups.
His physique was originally quite decent.
He had muscles all over his body.
But after crossing over, he found that his muscles were increasingly slack.
This wasn't a good sign.
Thus, he arranged for morning exercises first thing in the day.
Having done everything.
He changed into a more comfortable position on the bed.
He used the [God's Presence] skill to possess the body of a skeleton soldier.
Today's task was the same as yesterday's - to continue exploring the surrounding terrain.
He chose 2000 skeleton soldiers and led the team out of his territory with big strides.
They passed through a plain to the west.
Fang Hao abruptly stopped and signaled for the team to halt.
He stared solemnly ahead.
Several humanoid creatures were wandering about.
Their bodies were entwined like vines, with green sprouts growing in some parts of their bodies.
[Lost Wood Element Servant Spirit (Rank 3)]
[Type: Summoned Creature (Masterless)]
[Abilities: Entangle, Revival.]
(Description: Servant spirits who have lost their masters gradually lose their purpose. They wander here, attacking all passing creatures.)
These are rank-three soldiers.
Moreover, there are three of them wandering ahead.
After glancing at the skeleton soldiers behind him, he gave the command to attack.
"Attack."
2000 skeleton soldiers raised their weapons and launched an attack.
The massive charge quickly drew the attention of the [Wood Element Servant Spirits].
They glowed faintly with green light.
Vines grew from beneath the skeletons' feet, writhing and entwining like pythons, grabbing the nearby skeletons to restrict their movements.
But the number of skeletons was too large.
The entanglement had no effect at all.
Soon, the skeleton soldiers rushed up to them. The Wood Servant Spirits transformed their arms into whip-like vines and started fighting the skeletons.
The Wood Servant Spirits demonstrated considerable combat power.
However, faced with the numerous skeletons' concentrated and disordered attacks.
The Wood Servant Spirits found it hard to hold on.
In the end, they turned into green lights and scattered in the air.
They even dropped items after death - a [Natural Gem] and three units of [Trace of the Earth].
He collected everything.
"Search the area, see if there are any chests nearby."
The skeletons quickly dispersed.
After a while, they actually brought over a black iron chest.
Fang Hao immediately opened it.
[Obtained: Spiritual Field Blueprint (Green), Mindful Necklace (Green), Natural Gemstone*5, Trace of the Forest*1, Warfire Coin*15.]
In addition to some materials.
This time he actually obtained a green blueprint and a piece of green equipment.
[Mindful Necklace (Green)]
[Category: Neck Ornament]
[Item Effect: Increases spiritual power recovery.]
(Description: A necklace that keeps you full of energy.)
Many items in this world have been digitalized.
Unlike in games, there is no clear display of health and spiritual power.
However, when using the [God's Presence] skill to possess the body of a skeleton soldier, he could clearly feel mental fatigue.
This necklace, although not as exciting as a good weapon, was exactly what he needed.
[Spiritual Field Blueprint (Green)]
[Type: Building Blueprint]
(Description: Build a Spiritual Field in a suitable location to grow crops, enhancing their growth speed.)
