“Four Chaos Books, sixteen Ice Crystal Stones, not bad.”
After clearing the spoils from the ground, the monsters here were effectively eliminated.
A system prompt appeared.
[Discovered an unclaid dium-sized Copper Mine. Would you like to occupy it?]
Just as before, Cao Xing directly clicked ‘Yes.’
[Occupy success, obtained dium-sized Copper Mine*1, obtained Bronze Treasure Box*1.]
Hearing the latter prompt, Cao Xing’s eyes lit up.

“Hmm? Another treasure box?”
Cao Xing stepped over the goblin corpses and began searching the mine.
Soon, he found an ancient-looking Bronze Treasure Box in the corner.
Approaching closer, another system prompt appeared.
[Discovered an unlocked Bronze Treasure Box. Would you like to open it?]
“Yes.”
[Open success.]
[Obtained Basic Elental Arrow Tower Blueprint*1]
[Obtained Fine Iron*6]
[Obtained Small Resource Pack*1]
[Obtained Frost Ice Archer Training Manual*1]
There was no expectation of finding anything overly powerful inside the Bronze Treasure Box, yet when he saw the final prompt, his eyes imdiately brightened.
“A training manual showed up?”
“Wuhu! Doesn’t this an I can directly build a Training Camp?”
A look of joy appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
“Great! Now all I need is to recruit so subjects, and I can train them in batches into Combat Units.”
However, it wasn’t the right ti yet.
Because the number of subjects under Cao Xing was not many, and they were still needed for work.
After dismantling the open Bronze Treasure Box on the ground into six copper pieces.
Cao Xing said, “Let’s go, ti to head out.”
Then he led Sarah and Assam out of the mine.
Along the way, he also dismantled several Spikes Traps.
Quickly, Cao Xing erged from the mine.
Seeing Cao Xing co out, Andrew, who was waiting outside the mine, respectfully said, “God of Nature bless you.”
Cao Xing nodded and led his subordinates back to the territory.
Creak! Creak!
The track robot continued to crush through the thick snow.
In no ti, they returned to the territory.
At this ti, an Iron Rail was already laid out.
One end of the Iron Rail connected to the Ore Processing Plant, the other to the coal mine several hundred ters away.
Two minecarts were working back and forth on it, loaded with a large amount of coal, having already ford the rudints of industrialized mining.
Cao Xing, sitting on the robot, directly shouted, “Cao Yi.”
At this mont, Cao Yi, who was working inside the [Ore Processing Plant], imdiately walked out upon hearing the shout.
“Lord.”
Cao Xing nodded and then said, “We just captured a copper mine two kiloters away from the territory. I need you to lay an Iron Rail and start mining.”
Subject Cao Yi pondered and said, “Lord, the length of our Iron Rail doesn’t seem to be enough for a two-kiloter distance, right?”
Cao Xing glanced at his Storage Box.
[Iron Rail*972]
Although he obtained over a thousand Iron Rails from the Mole Man Mine last ti.
Due to the connection to the coal mine, a batch was consud, and the remaining Iron Rails were no longer sufficient to connect to the copper mine two kiloters away.
Cao Xing waved his hand and said, “No problem, I have a blueprint for making Iron Rails.”
“In a mont, have soone go to the Blacksmith Shop to mass-produce Iron Rails, and then connect them.”
Hearing this, subject Cao Yi’s face showed joy, and he respectfully said, “Okay, Lord, I will get on it right away!”
After speaking, he went off to arrange for the work.
The territory was back into a bustling developnt state.
Watching the subjects busy at work, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, those working were subjects like Cao Yi, Dazhuang.
Sarah and Andrew, as Combat Personnel, would not participate in these tasks.
However, with Loyalty reaching 100, Cao Xing could also forcibly give them orders.
Cao Xing pondered, “I need to find so tasks for these guys.”
And just at this mont.
Cao Xing suddenly noticed figures appearing on the vast snowy field ahead.
Although there was so distance, it was clear there were many people.
Cao Xing’s eyes tightened imdiately!
“Alert!”
Swish! Swish, swish!
In an instant, all recruited creatures in the territory drew their weapons, ready for action.
In this snowy land, where ordinary people found it difficult to walk, the sudden appearance of such a large group was indeed unusual.
At this ti, Sarah had already entered Stealth State.
All subjects working outside also imdiately ran back into the territory.
Only within the territory were they absolutely safe, sothing proven over the past few days.
Liu Muxue had already prepared for combat, tensely standing beside Cao Xing.
Next to him, Xia Yanni also led Tong Chuchu into the shelter.
It was their first ti encountering other humans approaching the territory.
And it seed that group was coming towards them.
However, upon approaching, Cao Xing realized it was actually a trade caravan.
A group of people guarded five horse carriages, making quite a spectacle.
Cao Xing noticed a black lion emblem on those carriages.
Assam then spoke, “Lord, that looks like a convoy from the Black Lion Comrce.”
“Black Lion Comrce?”
“Yes.”
Assam nodded, saying, “Black Lion Comrce is one of the three strongest trading companies on the Western Continent, with mbers spread across the continent.”
“It is said this comrce does all kinds of business, with trading coverage across the Western Continent and North Continent.”
Hearing Assam’s explanation, Cao Xing slightly relaxed.
So, it was a group of rchants, and there was no need to be so tense.
anwhile.
That caravan crew also arrived next to Cao Xing’s territory.
True to their na, everything from this comrce was black.
Black horses, black carriages, and even the armor on those guards were all black.
Among them, Cao Xing saw two large figures that did not look like human creatures at all.
“Huh? Catheads?”
Assam continued introducing to Cao Xing beside him.
“Lord, those are the Char Clan, with feline heads and long tails.”
“This is a race born for battle and often takes on rcenary tasks.”
Cao Xing nodded.
He also noticed that particularly the two Char Clan rcenaries among the guards gave him a strong sense of threat.
Cao Xing glanced through their Attributes.

…
Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.
Two third-tier Elite Creatures, plus a group of guards of at least Second Order.
No wonder this trade caravan dared to do business in the dangerous Gale Snow Plain.
The more dangerous the environnt, the higher the profits.
As long as they managed to pass through harsh conditions and reach so towns, they could sell their supplies at several tis, even tens of tis the cost.
At this ti, a short and stout rchant alighted from one of the carriages, resembling a barrel.
He approached Cao Xing’s territory, gazing in awe at this territory appeared in the snow, exclaiming, “A territory that suddenly appeared, a bonfire that never extinguishes as long as there’s fuel!”
“Could it be, you are the Chosen Lord summoned by the will of the world from another world?”
He looked at Cao Xing excitedly, instinctively wanting to co over for a handshake.
And when he reached the boundary of the territory, he was stopped by an invisible air wall.
The rchant’s eyes showed a look of shock!
“There is a force stopping from entering, this is truly the Chosen Territory!”
“My goodness!”
Then, he looked at Cao Xing, giving a formal salute.
“This Chosen Lord, Black Lion Comrce: Hilton greets you.”
Cao Xing did not understand why the other party reacted so strongly. If he knew that there were billions of Chosen Lords in this world, wouldn’t it shock the rchant to faint?
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
“Lord Cao Xing, greets you, Lord Hilton.”
rchant Hilton relaxed slightly upon hearing the response; the reaction of Cao Xing and others earlier had made him tense.
He saluted again.
Cao Xing also expressed friendliness, instructing everyone to lower their weapons.
Then, Cao Xing checked Hilton’s Attributes.
[Black Lion Comrce: Hilton lv6]
[Race: Human Clan]
[Life Value: 480/480]
[Attack Power: 37~41]
[Skill: Negotiation Skills, Bargaining, Danger Perception, Money Instinct, Insight]

…
A multitude of Life Skills.
No wonder this guy could lead such a caravan across the snow plains.
This was a talent!
Cao Xing took the lead and said, “Lord Hilton, is there a reason for your visit to my territory?”
Hilton wasn’t surprised by Cao Xing’s question.
He explained, “Lord Cao Xing, we apologize for the intrusion. Our Black Lion Comrce travels across the continent and also trades with so lords and nobles.”
“Upon seeing your territory, we thought to co over and see if you would like to engage in a material trading with Black Lion Comrce.”
“Trading?”
“Yes, anything precious or hard to price items you have, you can sell to us, and I will purchase them at a reasonable price.”
“Similarly, you can look at the goods in our caravan to see if there’s anything that catches your fancy.”
Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, this was his first ti encountering a comrce group akin to wandering rchants.
So he asked, “What goods do you have?”
rchant Hilton smiled mysteriously.
Then, a system prompt appeared.
[Black Lion Comrce: Hilton has opened his goods list to you. Would you like to accept it?]
