Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor! - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Eliminating the Monsters! Obtained the Bronze Treasure Chest!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Instead of acting immediately, Rene let a militia soldier in to take a look.

Nothing unexpected happened.

As Rene had expected, this was a place where the system placed the treasure chest. As long as he killed the monsters guarding the entrance, he would receive the reward inside.

He walked in and went all the way to the deepest part of the cave.

There was a treasure chest glowing with a bronze light.

Bronze Treasure Chest!

————

[Bronze Treasure Chest]: A relatively common treasure chest in the Overlord World. There are some small surprises in it, but they might also be hiding danger.

————

This was the information given by the treasure chest.

It seemed to be Pandora’s box.

According to the rules of the Overlord World, the treasure chest in the wilderness had to be opened by the Overlord. No monster could obtain the items inside.

Therefore, holding the spear that he had borrowed from the Blazing Spear Soldier, Rene stood three meters away and began to pick at the bronze lock outside the treasure chest.

The next moment, the treasure chest opened.

A brilliant light blossomed from the treasure chest.

Fortunately, there were rewards inside.

[System prompt: Food+200]

[System prompt: Stone+200]

[System prompt: Gold Ore+200]

[System prompt: Instructions to make wheat bread x1]

“I’m rich!”

Rene’s eyes lit up.

He did not expect this treasure chest to have so many rewards.

Originally, the territory was still worrying about food.

In the end, he went out and opened the first treasure chest. There were actually so many resources inside.

There were 200 units of food alone!

This food was probably enough to last the territory for a week.

With this buffer time, Rene could also test the effect of wild beast meat on humans. When the experiment succeeded, he would not have to worry about food.

That made Rene very happy.

But soon, he saw something that made him happier.

Gold ore!

Rene felt he had been blessed by the Goddess of Luck.

Otherwise, how could he have obtained so many resources that were urgently needed?

Unlike other construction resources, gold mines were the raw material of gold coins. As long as one refined them, they could obtain the corresponding gold coins.

400 units of gold ore should be able to refine a lot of gold coins.

This way, the employment fees for the soldiers in a week would be resolved.

Rene happily put the loot away.

Then, he looked at the last piece of paper.

It was about the making of wheat bread.

In the real world, wheat bread was relatively cheap food.

But in this world, everything was different.

Wheat bread was definitely a luxury item in the Overlord World.

This was because the food provided by the system had no taste. Other than being able to fill one’s stomach, it could not satisfy one’s palate.

Of course, the current players did not pursue the quality of food.

They would only slowly enjoy life after everyone’s territory had stabilized.

Therefore, he did not need this blueprint for the time being.

Rene put it away and looked at the treasure chest.

After he took all the rewards, the treasure chest lost its light and became an ordinary bronze treasure chest.

But in the end, Rene used the machete to break it down.

[System prompt: Obtained Bronze+1]

Then, Rene led his men to explore the cave again. After confirming that there was nothing else, he led the way out.

…

“The militia soldiers will continue their hunt.”

“The blade warriors will be divided into two teams led by the Blazing Spear Soldiers. They will explore the forest in other directions.”

“As scouts, the Blazing Archers will wander around the territory. While leveling up, they will also protect the territory.”

After returning to the territory, Rene gave everyone a mission and opened the [Construction System].

He checked the construction list of the smelting workshop.

————

[Smelting Workshop] (Rank 1 Construction)

[Quality]: Normal

Construction Requirement: 500 stones, 100 wood, 10 fire runes, 5 wood runes.

————

It was indeed not a simple building.

Unlike other ordinary buildings, the smelting workshop not only required stones and wood, but also a large number of fire runes and wood runes.

Due to editing the slime, there were only six fire runes left in Rene’s hands.

As for the wood runes, there was none for the time being.

“Let’s build the overall structure first.”

“Fire runes and wood runes can be exchanged at the trading platform.”

Rene closed the panel.

Then, he found a construction worker working in the workshop area.

The construction worker said respectfully, “My lord, the blacksmith shop will be completed in half an hour.”

Rene nodded and handed them a new mission, “After you finish the building, start building the smelting workshop immediately.”

The builders shouted in unison, “Don’t worry, my lord. We promise to complete the mission.”

Rene encouraged them, then went to the area where the Fire Rune Slime was.

First, he used the knife to break down the mucus.

These lights were all orders that had been pre-purchased. They were ordered every two hours and had to be sold until around 4am.

After dealing with this matter, Rene returned to the Overlord’s Hall.

Seated on the throne, he opened the system interface and prepared to check the sales of the machete.

The next second, countless messages popped up, startling him.

“I didn’t expect the machete to be so popular.”

From the moment Rene put the machete back on sale, they were immediately sold whenever the blacksmith completed one every ten minutes.

This raid took Rene about an hour and a half.

The speed of traveling in the forest was much slower than usual.

During this period of time, he had sold nine machetes. He had obtained a total of 12 iron pieces, 120 wood, 120 stones, and 3 forging hammers.

Iron pieces were the cost of materials, and the rest were basically profits.

He got 120 units of wood in an hour and a half, which required at least 10 woodcutters and an hour of logging.

“Business is indeed the first way to develop a territory quickly.”

“I have to edit a few more blacksmiths to increase the production.”

Rene immediately summoned the laborers and edited them into blacksmiths who could create items.

A [Blacksmith Shop] could allow four blacksmiths to work at the same time.

In this way, with full production, it could produce 12 machetes per hour.

In addition, the newly built [Blacksmith Shop] was left to the remaining blacksmiths to work in. The efficiency might be slower, and they could produce three machetes in an hour.

This way, production capacity increased by 60%.

Even if Rene did not let people cut wood, he could still obtain a large amount of wood and stones.
