Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Frost Wolf took heavy steps and rushed in the direction Han Xing ordered.
Looking at the figures of the man and the wolf walking away, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
A few minutes later.
The system prompt appears.
[Your territory building [Polar Cottage] has been successfully upgraded. Current level: Level 2. The number of polar people that can be recruited is 4/8]
...
Cao Xing's eyes lit up with joy. "Great, great, the Polar Man's Hut has also been successfully upgraded. This way, there will be more people working for me!"
After a while, four polar men came to Cao Xing with tools in hand.
"My Lord, the mission has been accomplished!"
Cao Xing nodded, and then came to the level 2 [Polar Hut].
The upgraded [Polar Hut] has changed from a small tent to a small bungalow that is nearly three meters high and covers an area of nearly 20 square meters.
The properties of this building appeared in front of me.
[Level 2 Polar Man Hut: You can summon polar men to work for you by consuming food. ]
[Area: 30 square meters]
[Maximum number of recruits: 4/8 people]
[Required for upgrading: Level 3 Lord's Hut, Stone*100, Wood*200, Iron*50]
…
Cao Xing pondered, "For a level 2 polar hut, we can only recruit 4 more polar people. We still don't have enough manpower."
"If you want to continue upgrading, you need a level 3 lord's hut, which cannot be built in a short time."
Shaking his head, Cao Xing spent another 20 food items to summon 4 polar people.
The hut shook.
Four polar men rushed out.
"Dear Lord, the polar people report to you!"
Liu Muxue at the side exclaimed: "Ah! A few more polar people came out..."
Cao Xing nodded and continued to name these polar people.
From five to six strong, all the way to eight strong before stopping.
The people of the polar regions said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord, for giving me the name."
[You have successfully given a name to the polar people. The five strong men's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points...]
[You have successfully given a name to the polar people. Liu Zhuang's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points...]
System prompts for improved favorability keep appearing.
Cao Xing looked at Da Zhuang first, and then said, "Da Zhuang, you lead Er Zhuang to Si Zhuang, and the four of you go to mine the coal mine with all your strength."
"Strong Five and Strong Six, your mission is to cut down the wood nearby and then transport it to the lumber mill for processing."
"Qi Zhuang and Ba Zhuang, your mission is to collect more stones and build an ore processing plant."
"Do you understand everything?"
After hearing this, the eight polar people looked at each other and saluted respectfully, "Understood, Lord!"
Then, under the leadership of Da Zhuang, the people in the polar region began to work enthusiastically.
"Axing, do you need me to do anything?" Liu Muxue asked softly from the side.
Cao Xing glanced at Liu Muxue's current equipment. In addition to the small wooden shield given by the system, there was also a stone axe.
This small wooden shield also had cracks on it due to the battle.
It feels like it will be completely damaged if it goes through one more battle.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the market to see if there's anything I can use."
Liu Muxue nodded gently, "Yes... I'll do as you say."
Cao Xing looked at his food reserves.
[Food: Bread*45, Snake Meat*10, Wolf Meat*132]
"There is still enough food at the moment. You can take some of it out and exchange it for supplies or equipment."
He clicked on the market channel.
There are dozens more pages of consignment items above.
It seems that more and more survivors, or teams, have built the [market].
Cao Xing entered the word "equipment" in the search interface and then filtered it.
There are some white equipment scattered on it, such as stone axes, stone spears, etc.
Several pieces of ironware were also sold at a fairly high price.
Cao Xing shook his head. The properties of these equipment were too poor and there was no improvement at all.
And just then, he saw a consignment information.
[Consignment item: Rusty iron shield (white) *1. ]
[Required items: Food*50 or Medical Kit*1. ]
[Consignor: Chen Yuan]
(Seller's note: Top-grade iron shield, amazing defense, first come first served.)
Cao Xing took a look at the properties of the iron shield. It has an armor value of 5 to 8 points, which is almost twice as high as the small wooden shield in Liu Muxue's hand.
Although it's not the best, it's pretty good.
So, as usual, Cao Xing directly quoted a price.
Cao Xing: "20 food for a rusty iron shield."
After a moment, the other party replied with one word.
"roll."
Oh my god... this guy has such a bad temper that he can't even bargain.
Cao Xing was amused.
He shook his head and didn't care.
So he posted a consignment information himself.
[Consignment Item: Fresh Wolf Meat (Green)]
[Required items: equipment, weapons, skill books]
[Consignor: Cao Xing]
(Seller's note: Fresh wolf meat, 1 piece of wolf meat = 5 food, need equipment and skill books that can be used by Aurora Knight and Frost Mage, if interested, please chat privately.)
...
Not long after wolf meat was put on the shelves, some survivors immediately noticed the information on the market.
"Shit! Someone is selling food in the market, and it's green grade wolf meat!"
"Wolf meat? As I recall, aren't all wolves in the wild monsters at level 3? Who is this boss who killed the wolf so quickly?"
"Too strong! I was still chewing dry bread while others were already eating meat."
"This boss wants equipment and skill books. If anyone has them, go find him and trade with him!"
…
At this stage, when everyone is worried about food, someone actually sold food, and it was precious wolf meat, which immediately caused a sensation.
Sure enough, after a while, Cao Xing received the first private message.
Ren Yixu: "Brother, I see that you are very capable. I have a +18 top-grade greatsword here. I will sell it to you for only 5 pieces of wolf meat. What do you think?"
Cao Xing was delighted and said, "Send it to me."
[Rusty Iron Sword (White), Quality: Normal, Attack Power: 6~8, Additional Effects: None]
Cao Xing: "…"
"Is this the +18 top-grade greatsword you mentioned?"
Ren Yixu smiled and said, "I forgot to mention that this is the future +18 enhanced greatsword. With my own strength, I will definitely be able to enhance it to 18 in the future!"
Cao Xing was speechless and said directly: "Two pieces of wolf meat."
Ren Yixu was stunned, "So little?"
"Will you sell it?"
"Sell!"
Ren Yixu agreed decisively.
Cao Xing speechlessly modified the transaction information.
[The transaction was successful. You gained the Rusty Iron Sword (white), and you lost the Fresh Wolf Meat (green)*2.]
Then, Cao Xing received many private messages.
There are not many people selling equipment here. Most of them want to trade materials from other territories, such as wood, stone, and a small amount of iron.
Cao Xing would remind these survivors of the importance of these basic supplies, saying they were the foundation of survival and should not be sold easily.
Some of the survivors will listen to advice and give up the transaction, but others will insist on trading with Cao Xing.
They told Cao Xing that people were almost starving to death, so who would think about future development? The only thing to do was to fill their stomachs first.
Seeing the information of these people, Cao Xing thought secretly in his heart.
"Since they want to sell, they can indeed collect a batch of supplies first."
"But I don't have much wolf meat in stock, so I can't buy a lot of stones and wood."
"However, we can first exchange some iron for it, and then build the [Blacksmith Shop]."
After the [Blacksmith Shop] is built, you can make some simple iron tools in it, such as iron axes, iron pickaxes, iron spears, etc.
As for other equipment, corresponding blueprints are required to create them.
However, the survivors currently have too little iron in their hands, only two or three pieces at most.
Cao Xing would definitely suffer a loss by exchanging a piece of wolf meat for 2 pieces of iron.
So Cao Xing asked the system: "Is it possible to break down the wolf meat into smaller portions?"
The system prompt appears.
[One piece of wolf meat can be broken down into up to 10 small pieces of wolf meat, 100g is one piece. ]
Cao Xing was stunned. It really worked!
So he took out 5 pieces of wolf meat and divided them into 50 portions.
Then, Cao Xing modified the transaction terms.
The consignment ratio is 1 piece of wolf meat for 2 pieces of iron.
It has again attracted attention in regional channels.
"Brothers, this boss has changed the conditions. Iron can also be used to trade wolf meat. If anyone has iron, go and exchange it!"
"I happen to have two pieces. I will go find this big guy to trade right away."
"Fuck, I want to eat meat too, leave some for me!"
Cao Xing keeps receiving trade requests.
[Transaction successful, you gain iron*2, you lose wolf meat*100g]
[Transaction successful, you gained 4 irons, you lost 200g wolf meat]
[Transaction successful, you gain Iron Round Shield (White)*1, you lose Fresh Wolf Meat*5.]
…
In addition to a large amount of iron, Cao Xing also received a shield as he wished.
Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.
[Iron Round Shield (White), Quality: Ordinary, Armor: 9~11, Additional Effects: None]
Although it is just a white shield, it is much better than the wooden shield in Liu Muxue's hand.
In a short while, the dozen or so pieces of wolf meat that Cao Xing had hung up were all sold out in seconds.
And there were 100 more pieces of iron in Cao Xing's backpack!
Now, the iron in his hand is more than enough to build a [Blacksmith Shop].
Cao Xing's eyes lit up with joy. "Compared to slowly collecting, it's faster to trade with other survivors!"
Of course, this method is based on the premise that you have sufficient resources.
Now that the population of the territory has increased so much at once, the daily food consumption is a considerable number.
So he could only sell a small portion of his food in exchange for supplies.
Just when Cao Xing was about to end the transaction, the survivor named Chen Yuan sent another message.
"Brother, I'll sell you that iron shield for 10 pieces of wolf meat."
He also seemed to notice the movement in the market.
Seeing this news, Cao Xing couldn't help laughing.
This guy is really bold in asking such a high price. He thinks the broken shield in his hand is a treasure.
Cao Xing just obtained that shield through a trade. Not only does it have better attributes than this [Rusty Iron Shield], it also only cost 5 pieces of wolf meat.
So Cao Xing replied: "No need, keep it for yourself."
Hearing this, the survivor named Chen Yuan suddenly became anxious.
"Brother, please stop! We can talk about it. 8 dollars, 8 dollars should be ok, right?"
Cao Xing didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
The person on the other side said anxiously: "6 yuan, it really can't be any less, people can't be too greedy."
Cao Xing still didn't reply.
Chen Yuan said anxiously: "I am Chen Yuan from the Three Heroes Society. Give me some face and take this shield for five pieces of wolf meat."
"…"
Chen Yuan seemed to have lost his patience.
"Four pieces of wolf meat! This is my minimum. I advise you not to be shameless!"
His tone became increasingly impatient.
At this time, Cao Xing replied calmly: "Go away."
