“Thump, thump, thump…”
Every time the beasts took a step, their footsteps could be heard. As they walked, the entire cave began to shake.
The farmer held onto his woodcutter and did not sway at all. He pushed away the stones that were blocking his path.
The beasts could finally be seen. Their entire body was covered with pitch-black scales and they had muscular limbs. The limbs were even thicker than an adult’s body. They were about sixteen feet tall.
Moreover, the beasts had wings on their backs that were covered with blood vessels and meridians. Their scarlet eyes were vertical and looked absolutely vicious. The beasts opened their bloody mouths, each revealing two rows of sharp fangs.
The farmer looked extremely tiny compared to them. He was like a fragile toy that could easily be crushed with just one blow.
Xu Hang did not pay attention to them. Instead, he was more interested in the world chat channel.
[ Zhang Wuji: I’ve encountered a beast! ]
[ Since you can still chat here, it means that you’re safe and sound! ]
[ Brother, you’re so awesome! ]
[ As expected of you! ]
[ Zhang Wuji: It’s nothing. I just pity my team of soldiers. My soldiers were all level 5. However, they were instantly killed by the beast. As a reminder to you rookies, do not enter the deep forest for no reason. It’s impossible for you guys. No one will be able to collect your corpses! ]
[ Brother, can you tell us what kind of beast you’ve encountered? ]
[ Yea! Please tell us! ]
[ Zhang Wuji: To be honest, I didn’t get a good look. I only saw that it had a pair of wings on its back. It’s probably a dragon! ]
[ A dragon?! Holy sh*t, are you for real?! ]
[ Are you crazy? Why would he lie? ]
[ Zhang Wuji: Anyway, remember not to go into the depths of the forest unless you’re prepared! ]
…
“There’s actually a dragon in the forest? Oh no, this is bad!”
Xu Hang suddenly remembered the level 9 farmer that he had sent out to scout the area. The farmer was heading towards the depths of the forest.
He quickly opened the map and found the light red dot that represented the farmer.
“What? He’s level 13?!”
Xu Hang was a little dumbfounded. He discovered that the farmer was currently in a cave.
The farmer had lit torches all over the walls and they shone brightly. It turned out that the cave was filled with earth crystals!
In fact, the farmer had already gathered a large pile of them. Additionally, there were two crystals that were sparkling with blue light.
Those were the magic crystals!
“Where did they come from?!”
Xu Hang was puzzled, but then he saw two skeletons and a large pile of dismembered materials lying at the entrance of the cave.
There were teeth and sharp claws. Furthermore, there were pairs of wings.
Upon seeing that, Xu Hang lost his composure.
“Did those wings belong to the dragons?!”
“My farmer had killed two dragons?!”
The farmer had no expression on his face. He just continued to mine for the earth crystals using his shovel.
“His achievements are incredible.”
The earth crystals and magic crystals were then automatically transported into the warehouse.
Xu Hang walked into the warehouse and picked up the magic crystals. He could feel a huge amount of energy coming from them.
Magic crystals needed to be paired with an energy reactor in order to extract their energy for further use.
Xu Hang accessed the system panel and found a level 1 energy reactor.
[ Do you want to use 600 grains, 600 wood, 600 stones, and 200 gold nuggets to build an energy reactor? ]
[ Yes ][ No ]
“Yes!”
Although many materials were required, it was no problem for Xu Hang.
A few farmers began building the level 1 energy reactor and soon, it was completed.
The energy reactor looked like a large iron pot. Xu Hang opened it and saw many pipes inside. They had different usage such as for condensation, heat preservation, cooling, and so on.
The center of the reactor was emitting a faint blue light. According to the system’s instructions, he merely needed to place the magic crystal there.
A white light flashed. Then, a square box with gold decorations popped out.
[ Magic Power Chip: A chip that contains the energy of magic crystals. It has a large amount of magic power. The energy can be recharged once it’s exhausted. ]
[ One magic power chip can be recharged for 10 times. ]
“This is the power source for the magic four-wheeled car? Why does it feel like a charging device?”
After obtaining the blueprint for the magic four-wheeled car, Xu Hang handed it to the farmers along with the magic power chip. The rest was in good hands.
Half an hour later, the production of the magic four-wheeled car was completed.
[ System Announcement: Congratulations to Lord Xu Hang for being the first to obtain the magic four-wheeled car. You have received 10 magic crystals as a reward ]
[ F*ck! No way! Magic crystals? What are those?! ]
[ Zhang Wuji: After the castle is upgraded to level 3, it’ll unlock the blueprint for the mechanical building. However, what’s the point of having so many flashy things? Building barracks and expanding the army is the way to go! ]
[ Big brother is right! ]
[ I agree with big brother! It’s just useless rubbish! ]
[ Someone reeks of jealousy. ]
[ What did you just say? I’ll beat you to death. If you have the courage, send me your coordinates! ]
..
“Ha, barracks? Barracks are nothing! My farmers can easily handle all of you!”
Xu Hang felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure after reading the world chat channel.
Suddenly, a new system announcement popped up.
[ System Announcement: Special reminder! ]
[ Together, we will become stronger! ]
[ In the next hour, you will be able to see the combat strength of all the other Lords! Find the castle closest to you! Will you choose to cooperate or fight?! ]
[ Do whatever that’s necessary to achieve your goals! ]
[ Let’s go! ]
A roster with the combat strength of the Lords popped up.
[ Lords Combat Strength Ranking! ]
…
[ Hahaha, I’m near Zhang Wuji’s castle. Big brother, take me under your wing! ]
[ I’m a cute girl. I can wear black silk and warm your bed. ]
[ F*ck, you’re definitely a guy. Brother Wuji, destroy him! I support you! Also, please take me with you! ]
[ We need to work together. My combat power is 120. Is that enough? ]
[ That’s it? Mine is 125. ]
…
The world chat channel went insane.
Xu Hang looked at the list and realized that his name was on the last page.
‘As expected, combat power points are calculated based on the barracks.
‘I don’t have a single soldier. It’s not strange that my combat power is way below.
‘But in terms of strength, I guess my level 13 farmer can easily beat the top ten on the list, right?
[ Hey, look. I found a Lord nearby. His combat power is actually 0? Xu Hang?! Hahaha! ]
[ What a noob! He doesn’t have any soldiers and only knows how to show off! ]
[ If this is the case, he definitely won’t be able to defend himself from the upcoming beast attack. I might well invade him and take the magic crystals! ]
[ The magic crystals will be mine! Hahaha! ]
[ Where is he? Send me the coordinates. I’ll bring some soldiers over and we can split the loot! ]
[ Can I join you guys as well? ]
…
“Tsk, these people actually think that they have a fighting chance against me?”
Xu Hang looked at the chat with a smile on his face..
