As the day began, the camp was bustling with activity. The sound of the craftsman's hammer filled the air as he worked on another set of weapons. The craftsman moved the supplies to the southern side and reinforced the newly constructed trenches. Ignis stood at the edge of the safe zone, his fire magic blazing as he practiced his magic from afar.
Adam stood in the middle of everyone, his arms crossed as he examined the resource management interface.
Current resources:
Gold: 435 Wood: 45 Stone: 35
His wallet is growing, but with the monster invasion, all resources must be used.
"Users" Adam called.
An NPC approached with a small bow. "Master?"
"Focus on the improved weapons today," Adam ordered. "Think durability over quantity. "
. The worker replied, "As you command," and returned to his desk.
The system beeped as Adamu opened the trade menu, where his new roster was already showing its madness.

PERSON 78: "It's not just quantity - it's quality. The person running this is a genius."

Adam laughed. The market under his control and his power over the Lord Merchant ensured that sales brought more resources back to his inventory.
LORD MERCHANT activated:

Later that day, Adam joined Ignis in the south to inspect the new defenses. Spike pits littered the ground, covered in leaves and mud, and reinforced barriers provided cover for ranged attacks.
. "You've been busy," Ignis said, his yellow eyes watching the defense.
Adam replied, "Everything is preparation." The first wave will test us, but we will not succeed."
Ignis smiled weakly. "With your guidance and my fire, I believe in you."
In the evening, the craftsman showed off his latest creation - a long sword.
"My lord, this is my finest work," said the
NPC, holding up his weapon. "
Adam scanned the screen, running his fingers along the edge.
new items created:
Enhanced Long Throw (Damage: 25, Durability: 100/100)
"Okay," Adam said. "Write a list In the auction, starting price: 200 gold."
As the sun sank below the horizon, Adam climbed the tower. The forest beyond the safe zone is dark and gloomy, the rustling of leaves a reminder of the dangers lurking just beyond sight.
The glorious countdown on his UI is approaching.
MONSTER INVASION hours: 3 days, 6 hours left.
Adam straightens the spear hanging from his back. His kingdom grows He is growing stronger every day, but the real test is still ahead.
"This is the calm before the storm,"
muttered to himself. "When the attack comes, we will show what we are capable of."
