Lu Ming woke up early, the sun beginning to filter through the treetops and illuminate his makeshift camp near the altar. The sounds of the forest, with birds singing and leaves rustling, provided a sense of calm. However, Lu Ming knew there was much work ahead. While he had established a solid base, it was now time to expand and strengthen his domain.
He rose from his makeshift bed and headed toward the altar. Upon arrival, he observed the three Worker Draconians already busy processing the Sauron meat. They worked efficiently, cutting and roasting the meat, while others started constructing a small storage building nearby.
Lu Ming's first goal was to increase his resources and prepare for the challenges ahead. He decided to conduct a general inspection of the area before planning his next steps.
**1. Exploring the Territory**
Lu Ming ventured into the forest with renewed determination. He knew he needed a better understanding of his surroundings to maximize the resources available. As he moved forward, he used his Abyssal Dragon ability to fly and gain a panoramic view. He surveyed the vast expanse of the forest, noting the different types of trees and potential hunting areas.
Suddenly, he spotted a cave partially concealed by dense vegetation. Curious, he descended and approached it to investigate. Inside the cave, he found a series of glowing crystals embedded in the walls. Recognizing their potential value for both construction and enhancing his Draconians, he decided to collect some and bring them back to the base.
**2. Collecting Resources**
With the crystals safely stored in his inventory, Lu Ming returned to the altar. Upon his arrival, he saw the Draconians diligently working on their assigned tasks. The ones who had gone to the Dark Forest were back with wood and natural resources. Construction tools were in full use, and the base was starting to take shape.
Lu Ming made his way to the newly built storage facility. Inside, the Draconians were organizing the meat and other collected resources. Around him, he saw a storage area for wood, stone, and other essential materials. Initial construction plans were underway, and Lu Ming could see his territory beginning to transform.
**3. Expanding the Base**
After a brief rest, Lu Ming gathered the Draconians for a meeting. He gave them new instructions to enhance the base. He asked them to start constructing a defensive wall around the altar. This wall would not only provide protection against potential invaders but also clearly define the boundaries of his territory.
"Focus on building the wall first. Make sure it is strong and durable. Also, begin preparing the land for cultivation," Lu Ming instructed.
The Draconians accepted the orders and got to work. They divided into two groups: one group worked on the wall, while the other started preparing the land for crops. Meanwhile, Lu Ming took some time to review the system. He accessed the **Summoning** section and considered whether he should invest in additional resources or perhaps in new skills for his Draconians.
**4. Reviewing the System and Making New Decisions**
The **Summoning** section offered two options for improvement:
- **Worker Dragonian:** Costs 5 gold coins. These Draconians are suited for basic collection and construction tasks.
- **Elite Dragonian Soldier:** Costs 50 gold coins. These Draconians are stronger and more suited for advanced combat and defense tasks.
Lu Ming decided that, for now, it was wiser to invest in more Worker Draconians to speed up construction and collection. With the gold coins he had earned, he could summon more workers and strengthen his base.
**5. Managing and Organizing**
As the Draconians worked on the defensive wall and land preparation, Lu Ming focused on organizing and managing resources. He set up an efficient storage system and categorized the materials: wood, stone, food, and special resources like the crystals.
He also began planning how to use the prepared land for future crops. He knew a steady food supply would be crucial to keeping his Draconians well-fed and able to work effectively.
With everything in place, Lu Ming decided to take a walk around the surroundings to ensure everything was running smoothly. He observed the progress on the wall and saw the Draconians working with dedication.
**6. Reflections and Preparations for the Future**
As the day came to an end, Lu Ming held a brief meeting with the Draconians. He thanked them for their hard work and provided instructions for the next day. He planned to continue with expansion and also explore beyond the forest for new resources and potential allies.
"I am pleased with the progress we've made so far. Let's keep working together to build a strong base and prepare for what lies ahead," Lu Ming said.
With the day drawing to a close, Lu Ming returned to the altar. The base was already showing signs of progress and expansion. Although the road ahead would be challenging, Lu Ming was determined to restore the glory of his empire and face the trials that awaited him.
With renewed determination and a clear vision, Lu Ming prepared for the coming days, knowing that each step he took was a move towards the greatness he sought to reclaim.
