A single strike, clean and neat.
The first-stage wolf was nothing in the hands of the Demon Dragon Knight, barely posing a threat.
Lin Chen watched with bright eyes. It was no wonder that the SSS-ranked soldiers had a natural advantage in strength!
[Killed first-level gray wolf]
[Obtained 5 gold coins, 1 gray wolf corpse, and 1 first-level magic crystal]
Clear notification sounds rang in Lin Chen's ears. Gold coins and magic crystals would automatically accumulate in the city's wealth, so there was no need for Lin Chen to pick them up.
"Go sweep the area around here," Lin Chen ordered the three Demon Dragon Knights.
Seeing the knights easily defeat the gray wolves, Lin Chen's heart was calmer.
The three knights were unmatched in the early stages of the game!
Following Lin Chen's orders, the knights began sweeping the area around the territory. The gray wolves were the most common monsters nearby.
In just a few minutes, around ten gray wolves had rushed towards them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Demon Dragon Knights moved quickly, taking out the enemy with the most efficient means possible.
They kept pushing forward, leaving behind corpse after corpse.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen used this time to examine the city.
Currently, his city was too dilapidated.
There was only a small city lord's mansion, a circle of dilapidated walls, and a statue of the Demon Dragon Knight.
The overall area was probably less than 300 square meters!
However, with the continuous strengthening of the city's power, everything would improve.
Lin Chen came to the front of his city lord's mansion.
[Building: City Lord's Mansion]
[Level: Level 1]
[Special Bonus: Invincible (Remaining time: 6 days)]
[Upgrade Conditions: 2000 wood, 2000 stone]
...
Looking at the upgrading condition of the city lord's mansion, Lin Chen furrowed his eyebrows.
Did he really need to chop so much wood in this game?
Wasn't it too little of a use of the Demon Dragon Knights to have them chop wood?
However, this upgrading condition was much simpler than that of the Demon Dragon statue. The latter required 100 second-level magic crystals, which was terrifying.
Lin Chen shook his head and opened the menu.
He quickly scanned through the options and opened the last one, the shopping mall.
[Sales list: Buildings, materials]
Lin Chen curiously clicked on the second option, materials.
[100 Wood, Price: 1 gold coin]
[100 Stone, Price: 1 gold coin]
[50 Iron, Price: 1 gold coin]
...
[PS: As the main city upgrades, more content will be unlocked in the shopping mall!]
The mall sold some basic building materials.
Lin Chen was pleased by this discovery. It saved him a lot of effort.
With money in hand, he could buy directly from the mall!
There was no need to send soldiers to chop wood or collect stone!
This discovery made Lin Chen's mood much better. He looked at his city's wealth.
Currently, he had 65 gold coins and 16 first-level magic crystals, and the accumulation rate was faster than he had imagined.
After all, Lin Chen's Demon Dragon Knights had an initial power of third-level, making it easy for them to sweep low-level monsters.
For anyone else with scarce soldiers, it would be impossible to accumulate wealth as easily as he did.
Once the number of gold coins increased, he could upgrade the city lord's mansion.
Lin Chen took a tour of his own city, which could only be described as desolate.
He let out a sigh and decided to take it slow.
At this moment, the three Demon Dragon Knights returned.
Each of them carried a large number of monster corpses.
"City Lord, our weight capacity is full, we need to report back to the city!" The knights unloaded their burdens.
Looking at the numerous monster corpses, Lin Chen was shocked.
Wow.
There were so many corpses!
There were more than thirty monster corpses! Lin Chen counted them carefully.
23 wolves, 10 wild boars, and 4 cheetahs were collected! As Lin Chen inspected the corpses, an option suddenly popped up.
Collect: Collect useful materials from monster corpses.
Dismantle: Abandon all monster corpse materials and break them down into equivalent coins.
Lin Chen naturally chose to Gather!
Although he was in dire need of money, the materials on these monsters were also very important.
As Lin Chen made his choice, the many bodies in front of him flickered with blue light one after another.
"Gathering successful!"
"Obtained 75 wolf meat, 23 complete wolf skins, 6 sharp wolf fangs, 63 pig meat, 10 complete pig skins, 4 leopard bones, 1 leopard tendon."
In less than ten seconds, this large pile of corpses turned into neatly arranged materials. Lin Chen grinned; this was very convenient.
"Cannot store materials in city due to lack of warehouse. Would you like to construct one?"
Lin Chen chose to construct one.
Demon Dragon Knights were so good at killing, there would be even more materials in the future. He couldn't just leave them lying around in his territory.
"Ding! You have purchased a One Hit Warehouse from the store!"
"Spent 20 gold coins!"
A spacious building immediately rose from the ground in the territory. The materials on the ground disappeared, automatically stored in the warehouse. However, when Lin Chen heard the final gold coin total, his heart trembled.
Damn it!
He only had a total of 87 gold coins, and this damn warehouse cost him 20 gold coins!
He hurriedly clicked on the "Building" section of the store.
"Building: Level 1 Warehouse"
"Price: 20 gold coins"
"PS: 10 gold coins for material fees + 10 gold coins for installation fees."
You have to know, the materials for building a warehouse were only 500 wood and 500 stone!
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and took the plunge. He would buy the materials himself next time and build it on his own!
Lin Chen tried to calm himself down, then looked at the three Demon Dragon Knights.
He could clearly sense that the three Demon Dragon Knights... seemed to be even stronger than before!
"What's going on?" Lin Chen asked, voicing his doubts.
The knight in the middle said, "Fighting can help us level up quickly!"
