Surviving in Another Dimension: I Can See Hints - Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Loyalty
“Let’s summon the new cavalry first.”
After Wang Jue tapped on summon, a total of 20 cavalrymen appeared in a flash of light.
The cavalry were divided into two teams, and the battle steeds beneath them were all awe-inspiring.
There was a male and a female leading the cavalry at the front.
The man looked ordinary, like the average Joe.
However, there was a glint in his eyes.
As for the female…
Holy sh*t!
Wang Jue was stunned once he saw her.
Her style was completely different from the tall and mighty cavalry. She looked so adorable.
The girl in front of him was about 1.6 meters tall. She had black hair, a round face, and fair skin.
Her facial features were as exquisite as a porcelain doll’s, especially her big eyes, which were shining. There seemed to be water vapor in them.
She was wearing the shiny armor of a cavalryman, which accentuated her charming appearance.
If he hadn’t known that the other party was a cavalryman he had summoned, what would have come to mind immediately for Wang Jue would have been the kind of favored and spoiled junior sister character.
“Greetings, Overlord!”
The two of them bowed to Wang Jue.
“Mm.”
Wang Jue immediately checked their attributes.
The man’s name was Robert, and his talent was intermediate.
The woman’s name was Sophie.
[Level: LV 6]
[Health Points: 460]
[Strength: 64]
[Agility: 62]
[Skills: Horse War Tactics, Spirit Shattering Spear Technique]
[Loyalty: 70]
[Endowment: Cute]
“D*mn, even being cute can become an endowment?”
Wang Jue revealed a puzzled expression.
“Which one of you is the leader?”
“I am, my Lord.”
It was Sophie who spoke.
This time, Wang Jue was truly surprised. A female cavalryman, and the leader at that? That was impressive.
Wang Jue couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Sophie.
Apart from her innate ability, Wang Jue also noticed her various attributes.
“Her attributes are relatively balanced. They’re not the best in the entire territory, but still above average.”
Wang Jue smiled.
“Welcome to my territory. I’ll leave the protection of the territory to you. There was a Beast Tide earlier, and many soldiers were injured. I hope you will carry out your duty of protecting the territory well!”
Sophie obeyed.
“Rest assured, my Lord. We will do our best!”
Then, she led the cavalry out.
After making arrangements for the new cavalrymen, Wang Jue began planning for the construction of a new list of buildings.
“Now, basic buildings and structures need to be upgraded to keep up with the progress.”
Wang Jue entered the system and immediately upgraded all the basic buildings to the highest level.
[Hostel Upgrade: Three-room Building]
[Kitchen Upgrade: Advanced Restaurant]
[Forging Shop Upgrade: Refined Blacksmith Shop]
…
Wang Jue spent a total of 2,000 gold coins, 10 souls, and various basic materials to upgrade essentially all the buildings in the territory.
He did not need the communication tower for now, so that will wait.
“Now that the problem of the Beast Tide has been resolved, the surviving Overlords will be welcoming a period of rapid development.”
Wang Jue wasn’t the only one who received rewards after the Beast Tide.
“I have to improve my personal strength first.”
Then, Wang Jue used all the EXP and Advancement Gems he obtained.
He advanced four levels in a row!
Wang Jue was currently at Level 10!
He was the Overlord whose personal strength had increased the fastest.
“After that, will be upgrading the intermediate territory.”
Wang Jue was hesitating if he should use the upgrade scroll now.
The last time he used the Low-Level Territory Upgrade Scroll, the territory had expanded. The people in the territory had also received an improvement in capabilities. Although the effect was not obvious, it was still present.
Wang Jue vaguely felt that it might not be the best time to upgrade now.
“The upper limit of the population has not been reached yet. It might be a waste to level up now!”
Yes, Wang Jue wanted to recruit more people to join the territory before leveling up. This way, the entire territory, including the people, could receive corresponding improvements.
That would undoubtedly be a maximized use of the scroll for the overall strength of his territory.
There was also a Universal Enhancement Scroll.
“At least, it’s best if the number of people in the territory reaches 100!”
The total population in the entire territory was about 80 people. They would be able to reach 100 people in at most one or two weeks.
Wouldn’t it be just right to upgrade the territory then?
After thinking it through, Wang Jue was no longer in a hurry to level up.
The next day, Wang Jue went to check on the situation in the territory after waking up.
The corpses of the wild beasts had been cleaned up, and the farmers started to get busy.
This time, there were hundreds of wild beast meat. This food was enough to last for a long time.
The farmers kept some fresh meat, and the excess was all made into cured meat or dried meat.
Wang Jue arrived at the back of the courtyard.
This was where Quina lived. The Gushing Spirit Well was built here.
Before Wang Jue arrived, he heard some female voices.
“Sister Quina, what kind of person is the Overlord?”
“Tian Man, just call me Sister Na. The Overlord is a good person. When I first got to know him, this was a small dilapidated hut. The Overlord turned the territory into what it looks like now through his own hard work.
“Speaking of when I first arrived, if it wasn’t because I caught my Mother’s scent, I might have left this place long ago.
“After getting to know the Overlord for a long time, I felt that he was someone worth following.”
Wang Jue now understood. The scent of her Mother that Quina mentioned must be referring to the well.
The system does not impose restrictions on the summoned person. Wang Jue had guessed this before. He could tell from the presence of the loyalty index.
Wang Jue guessed that when their loyalty dropped to below 50, that person would betray his master and leave.
In serious situations, the person might even turn back to bite his master.
“Overlord is kind to all the people and has never forced them to do anything they don’t want to do. This is much better than many people who call themselves nobles.”
“Sister Quina, you’re speaking so highly of the Overlord, don’t tell me you…”
“Damn girl, what are you talking about? I’ll beat you to death!”
Sounds of a scuffle came from inside.
It seemed that Quina and Tian Man were having a private conversation. This isn’t considered eavesdropping, is it?
Wang Jue felt a little guilty. After all, they were talking about him.
With this in mind, Wang Jue prepared to secretly return by the way he came.
However, once he turned around, he saw the female cavalryman, Sophie.
Before Wang Jue could react, Sophie bowed and said loudly, “Greetings, my Lord!”
Wang Jue could only force himself to say,
“Mm, hello!”
“When did you get here, my Lord? I was going to find Tian Man and ask her to enchant my weapon.”
“Enchantment?”
Wang Jue was somewhat puzzled.
“That’s right. Mage can enchant weapons. It will give the weapon additional attack power.”
I see. I didn’t expect Tian Man to be so formidable.
Wang Jue understood and nodded.
“She’s inside. Go tell her.”
With that, he left without looking back.
After a while, the two females walked out. They looked at Wang Jue’s fleeing figure and smiled at each other.
Sophie looked at the two of them questioningly, then at Wang Jue’s back, confused..
