No need to personally perform the dissection.
A beam of light enveloped the tiger's corpse, and the next second, it was already disassembled.
Meat and fur, beast bone were automatically separated and neatly placed to the side.
The beast bone wasn't the actual tiger's skeleton; it resembled a dropped item instead.
As for the tiger's body, it now was only left as an intact white skeleton.
The next moment, it weathered away like sand eroded by centuries of wind, ultimately crumbling into fine powder.
When the tiger's corpse disappeared,
it revealed the items hidden underneath.
These were the objects taken from the cave's treasure chest—previously stashed under the tiger to bait the lord.
[Blueprint for Level 1 Warehouse Construction][Rope x5]
The blueprint transformed into light and entered the Book of Lords.
It was archived into the [Buildings] section.
Fang Hao gathered the stone axes and stone picks placed near the deceased villager, tied up the meat and fur with rope, and left the cave.
The most urgent task was to leave this place and head toward his territory.
Following the system prompts he heard earlier,
every lord had a territory, and each territory was protected by a seven-day grace period for beginners.
At the very least, it could ensure his safety.
Relying on the residual memories in his mind, he quickly hurried toward the direction of the territory.
Along the way, he dared not pause even slightly.
Finally, he saw a thatched house protected by a transparent shield.
[Level 1 Lord's Wooden Cabin]
[Lord: Fang Hao]
[Territory Buildings: Level 1 Underground Cemetery.]
(Note: Core building of the territory.)
[Materials required for upgrade: Wood x800, Stone x500, Thatch x280, Rope x60.]
Not far from the crude house, there was also a semi-underground building.
[Level 1 Underground Cemetery]
[Recruitment limit: 0/5]
[Available for recruitment: Skeleton (Free)]
(Note: This building is used to recruit labor units for basic tasks.)
[Materials required for upgrade: Wood x300, Stone x400.]
"What the heck? Everyone in the chat is talking about recruiting peasants,
and here I am, only able to summon skeletons!"
"Directly jumped from the living world to the underworld," he joked.
"Good thing the Lord's Hall wasn't built underground, or I'd be sleeping in a coffin."
Fang Hao didn't hesitate; he proceeded straight to recruitment.
[Recruitable: Skeletons 0/5. Recruit?]
Recruitment confirmed.
Once again, the system prompt sounded.
[Hundredfold increase triggered. Successfully recruited Skeletons x505.]
From the ground before the cemetery, pale skeletal arms stretched out, followed by five skeletons climbing out.
Before Fang Hao could react, another flash of light occurred. Countless snow-white skeletons appeared, crowding the entire territory to its brim.
Some had even spilled outside the protective barrier.
[Skeleton Workers (Tier 1)]
[Faction: Undead]
[Race Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Weakness to Light.]
[Innate Ability: Primary Gathering Mastery.]
[Undead]: This unit is already deceased, incapable of morale or emotions. Immune to toxins, diseases, blindness, and mind-control magic.
[Hollow Skeleton]: Possesses no critical weak point.
[Light Weakness]: Light magic inflicts 20% additional damage.
(Note: These skeletons are generally used for labor or as cannon fodder. Don't expect those brittle bone frames to accomplish anything extraordinary.)
*This...*
*At this moment, Fang Hao was utterly stunned.*
*So this is how his hundredfold increase works.*
At the same time, Fang Hao felt a wave of relief in his heart.
*Luckily, the multiplied units were skeletons, undead who don't require food.*
*Otherwise, if hundreds of peasants were summoned, supplying food would be completely beyond his capacity.*
*At that point, with no food to provide, peasants might turn negligent or rebel.*
*Who knows, he might even wind up hacked to death by his own subordinates.*
The skeletons simply stood there, staring blankly at him.
"Your task is to gather resources and collect food." Fang Hao threw the stone picks and stone axes he'd brought back onto the ground.
The nearest few skeletons stepped forward and picked them up.
"Alright, get to work. Remember not to wander too far." Fang Hao issued the order.
Five hundred skeletons turned and shuffled out of the territory in a crowded formation.
These skeletons might not be particularly strong units, but they had the advantage of sheer numbers.
If others could only recruit five peasants, could his 505 skeletons not surpass them?
*What a joke.*
Once all the skeletons went off to work, only Fang Hao remained within the territory.
He sat down on a rock, pulled out the Book of Lords, and opened it casually.
[Stone Axe: Stone x1, Wood x1, Rope x1.]
[Stone Pick: Stone x1, Wood x1, Rope x1.]
[Rope: Thatch x2.]
Having the skeletons use their bare hands to chop trees and mine stones was clearly suboptimal.
It was still necessary to quickly craft stone axes and stone picks.
Half an hour later...
Not far away, the sound of footsteps and the clinking of bones reached his ears.
Some skeletons had already returned with wood and stone.
[Resources: Wood x50, Stone x40, Thatch x80, Meat x800, Fur x30.]
The skeletons set down the materials, turned around, and left.
Fang Hao immediately opened the [Crafting] section.
He consumed 2 units of thatch to make a rope.
[Hundredfold increase triggered. Successfully crafted Rope x101.]
"Holy crap, even this gets multiplied?" Fang Hao exclaimed.
Even crafting could trigger a hundredfold increase; that was insanely powerful.
Holding onto the idea of testing further,
he consumed 2 units of wood, 2 units of stone, and 2 units of rope to craft one stone axe and one stone pick each.
[Hundredfold increase triggered. Successfully crafted Stone Axe x101.]
[Hundredfold increase triggered. Successfully crafted Stone Pick x101.]
As expected,
the stone axes and picks crafted afterward were also multiplied.
By now, Fang Hao had pieced together the pattern—both recruited units and crafted tools activated the hundredfold increase.
Wasting no time,
he immediately crafted again.
In total, he made 202 stone axes and 303 stone picks.
Mining typically took longer to yield results, so he crafted extra stone picks.
Instantly, a mountain of tools piled up beside the wooden cabin.
Standing at the territory's entrance, Fang Hao shouted loudly, "If you don't have a tool, come back and get one, then keep working!"
The skeletons lacked intelligence, but they understood basic commands.
Groups of them returned, grabbing tools and heading back out of the territory again.
But as Fang Hao gazed at the leftover tools on the ground, he frowned slightly.
"Damn it, in just this short while, I lost over twenty tools? They couldn't have gotten lost, right?"
He had crafted tools specifically for the number of skeletons to ensure everyone had one. Yet, there were still twenty-eight tools on the ground, meaning over twenty skeletons hadn't come back.
Escape was impossible.
*These skeletons didn't even possess intelligence, let alone the idea of fleeing.*
*That left only two possibilities: they wandered off, or they didn't hear Fang Hao shouting.*
Fang Hao was contemplating whether to go out and search for the missing skeletons when...
he saw over ten skeletons carrying a one-horned mountain goat into the territory.
The skeletons appeared rather battered—covered in dirt; one skeleton was missing an arm, while another had two broken ribs.
It turned out they had gone hunting for him.
"Not bad, well done," Fang Hao said, feeling a twinge of pity as he praised them.
But the skeletons showed no reaction whatsoever.
Thud!
The mountain goat carcass was dropped onto the ground. Without another word, the skeletons turned and left.
"Wait! Take some tools with you." Fang Hao quickly stopped them.
The skeletons stiffly turned back, picked up tools, and once again headed out of the territory.
Watching the slender, pale backs gradually disappear into the distance, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Truly aloof and cool!"
In the chat channels,
everyone was complaining about their peasants' low stamina.
"After working for a while, they keep coming back to rest in the territory."
Fang Hao rechecked his skeletons' attributes for confirmation.
*They didn't even have stamina to deplete, tirelessly working non-stop without rest.*
*Once their collected resources reached a certain threshold, they'd deliver the materials back, then head out again to continue working.*
*Now that's what you call model employees.*
[Tier 1 Warcraft—One-Horned Mountain Goat. Slaughter?]
Slaughter!
A flash of light swept across the mountain goat's carcass.
The usable meat and materials were already dissected and properly placed to the side.
The remaining bones also crumbled into white powder.
[Slaughter complete. Obtained Meat x500, Fur x20, Beast Bone x15.]
