Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor! - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: A Great Harvest!

When they returned to the territory, Rene assigned a portion of the warriors to patrol the area before letting the rest.

Then, he went to the workshop area alone.

On the way, Rene checked the soldiers and his own level.

After four hours, Rene’s level had risen to 2.

Getting to Level 3 required 2,000 EXP. It was too difficult.

Because the number of monsters around him was limited, if he wanted to level up faster, he had to go to a forest further away. There were stronger monsters hidden there, and he could even encounter monster lairs.

However, the danger of the forest was uncertain.

Although the elite soldiers were very powerful, they would be defeated quickly when facing hundreds or thousands of monsters.

Rene didn’t want to take the risk. After all, his current progress had far exceeded that of the others. Therefore, he felt that he should focus on being steady and not be too anxious. That would easily disrupt his rhythm.

As for the level of the soldiers, as the militia soldiers had hunting missions very early on, they quickly rose to Level 2.

However, the subsequent battles were basically completed by other warriors. Their mission was to transport the corpses of their prey, so they were still Level 2.

The Blade Warriors reached Level 2 during the fights, and their attributes increased.

However, what caught Rene’s attention the most were the two elite units, the Blazing Spear Soldiers and the Blazing Archers.

As leveling up required a lot of experience points, they could only level up once despite their hunting spree.

————

[Unit]: Blazing Spear Soldier (Rank 1 Soldier)

[Grade]: Elite

[Level]: 2 (1 ↑)

[Health]: 100 (20 ↑)

Damage: 13-23 (2-5 ↑)

————

Although it only increased by one level, its attributes had been greatly increased.

The health had reached 100 points, and the upper limit of its damage had also become 23 points, reaching a new height.

This was good news, giving him great confidence in the future when dealing with the lairs.

…

“Then, there are other gains.”

Rene opened the territory warehouse.

This was all the loot he had obtained from the expedition.

The range of this raid was very large, and the harvest was very rich.

First was the reward found in the tree hole and the cave.

[Wooden Axe] x 1, [Pickaxe] x 2, [Forging Hammer] x 1, [Construction Concept Blueprint] x 2, [Iron Piece] x 3, [Bronze Piece] x 2, [Stone Hole] x 1, [Bamboo Slip] x 3, [Earth Talisman] x 1, [Water Talisman] x 1.

These were all the rewards he had found.

No wonder there were so many strange items on the trading platform.

It turned out that the system had arranged so many things.

However, Rene did not know if he was lucky. Although he had obtained two runes, they were runes that he could not use for the time being.

As for the utility tools, because there were no extra laborers, they could only be stored in the warehouse to eat dust.

“I wonder if the wood has been successfully sold.”

During the raid, the system panel was blocked by combat information, and Rene did not notice anything else.

Most of the buildings in the workshop had been completed, but only the core components such as the fire runes and the wood runes were left.

“Four fire runes and five wood runes. I hope to buy them all in a while.”

Rene was confident about the deal tonight.

This was because he had gathered two runes around the territory alone. He believed that others definitely had them, but there were still some who had not found them.

When everyone’s camp was built tomorrow, they would search carefully and the runes would be discovered.

Rene was in no hurry to make the deal.

He also had to separate the meat stored in the warehouse.

Because this raid was very thorough, the harvest was also very high.

[Elk Meat] x 1,500 units.

[Lizard Meat] x 450 units.

[Red Pork] x 1,375 units.

[…]

This time, he killed about 500 monsters.

But not all the creatures were slain with Rene beside them.

Therefore, he only obtained a portion of the experience.

As for the corpses of the monsters, they were specially transported by the militia, so the meat storage in the territory’s warehouse was quite abundant.

“Unfortunately, not all meat can be eaten.”

“Moreover, meat is not like the system’s food which can be stored indefinitely.”

Most types of meat could be stored for three days, with the exception of winter.

Three days later, the stored meat would spoil.

The wild beast meat in this world contained poison. Once they spoiled, the poison would intensify, causing the originally edible meat to be unusable.

Therefore, most Overlords would exchange the expiring meat for the system’s food.

The exchange rate was 5: 1.

Five units of edible meat could only be exchanged for one unit of food.

Most people would not be willing to do such a deal unless they had no choice.

Speaking of storing meat, Rene recalled the beast meat test he had asked them to do.

He opened his private message.

Indeed!

Those people had already obtained the result of the experiment.

Rene checked the information carefully.

He concluded that in ordinary types of meat, like the meat of elks, red-spotted boars, and jungle bulls, they were completely harmless.

Other than that, the rest were more or less poisonous.

But most would not be fatal.

Consuming some would only tire out the person and make him temporarily unable to do anything.

Among them, there was the lizard meat that needed to be wary of. The lizard meat contained a hallucinogenic poison. After accidentally eating it, one would not be able to work normally for at least three days. Moreover, if one ate too much, it would directly cause the worker to die.

Rene recorded all the information and gave each of them 20 units of elk meat.

The player who tested the lizard meat lost a laborer, so Rene gave him an additional 100 units.

However…

These records could not be trusted completely.

He had to test it himself.

Otherwise, he could not let everyone consume it in peace.

With that in mind, Rene called the two laborers and a few militia soldiers over.

Their constitutions were slightly poor, so they could test the poison in the meat more clearly.

The poison in the food was not fatal, so Rene was not worried.

He made each of them consume a type of meat, so that he could have the desired result in a few hours.

With that, Rene left.

…

Not long after, Rene arrived at the workshop.

At this moment, there was a furnace-like building in the square.

It was the smelting workshop.

However, due to the lack of key runes, it could not be used yet.

He had to hurry up regarding this matter. After all, there were only a few days until the next week. At that time, if he did not have enough gold coins, it would still be very troublesome.

Rene looked at it a few times, then walked in another direction.

What appeared before him were some large wooden barrels dug out from the wooden stakes.

This was a storage tank used by the territory to store water.

Due to the fact that the “Soft Water Slime” was not a building in the territory, he could not cut it using the system and sell the water on the trading platform directly. The militia soldiers could only store the water here.

“So much?”
