Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Lord’s Hut Upgrade! (Seeking Subscription)
“`
At this mont, Cao Xing was indeed tempted; he really wanted to take in all these Tree Spirits.
However, there were fourteen mbers of the Tree Spirit Clan here.
And the population of Cao Xing’s territory was already nearing its limit.
[Current Population: 41/50]
“But, this is not a big problem.”
“My Lord’s Hut can soon be upgraded to Level 2.”
“At that ti, the population can double.”
Cao Xing looked back at his territory.
With the construction done by four subjects,
the Lord’s Hut had gradually transford from a one-story wooden cabin into a two-story stone house, even with ventilated windows left out.
Cao Xing took a glance.
[Level 1 Lord’s Hut: Construction Progress 87%]
It was fast, and it was estimated that it would be built successfully in just half an hour.
So, Cao Xing asked, “Can I take in these Tree Spirit Clan mbers?”
Upon hearing this, not only rchant Hilton,
but also those Tree Spirit Clan mbers showed a look of joy on their faces.
“Lord Hilton, what price are you prepared to offer for these Tree Spirit Clan mbers?”
Hilton pondered slightly, “The Tree Spirit Clan is a powerful race and possesses good combat talent.”
“There are fourteen Tree Spirits here, and at market price, it’s about 5000 crowns per person…”
“14 Tree Spirits would be 70,000 crowns, and with a discount, it’s 65,000 crowns.”
“Lord Cao Xing, what do you think?”
Cao Xing couldn’t help but think to himself, that’s really expensive!
You must know, even if you go to the city to buy those ordinary human slaves, it’s only about one to two thousand crowns.
This price was three to four tis more.
As expected, the Black Lion Comrce was willing to take in the Tree Spirit Clan, but still made a hefty profit off them.
However, considering the special nature of the Tree Spirit Clan, Cao Xing nodded.
“That’s fine, besides that, I also need 100 rounds of 12.7mm bullets, and a bottle of Vitality Secret dicine.”
Cao Xing was about to run out of bullets, so he took this opportunity to replenish.
Upon hearing this, Hilton’s smile grew even wider, and he squinted his eyes saying, “Bullets and Secret dicine together form 50,000 crowns, with a discount it’s 45,000 crowns.”
“Altogether, you only need to pay 110,000 crowns.”
Cao Xing nodded and then took out 110,000 crowns, feeling quite helpless inside.
Damn it, he had just made over 100,000 from the Black Lion Comrce, and in the blink of an eye, he had traded it away.
It was truly making money where you spend it, not even one crown could be taken ho.
Both parties completed another round of trading.
Hilton laughed so much that his eyes were practically closed.
He found that Cao Xing was simply his lucky star.
Not only did he gain precious Black Diamond from him, but he also offloaded a batch of Tree Spirits, earning a large amount of crowns.
The more he looked at Cao Xing, the more pleasing to the eye he found him.
anwhile,
the Tree Spirits were also brought over by the Guard Team.
Hilton looked at the group of pale Tree Spirit Clan mbers and said, “From today, you belong to this Lord Cao Xing.”
“He is an important partner of our Black Lion Comrce, and you must follow Lord Cao Xing’s orders without defiance.”
Hearing this, the group of Tree Spirits all knelt down and then gratefully said, “Thank you, Lord.”
Cao Xing nodded.
At this ti, seeing the deal was done, Hilton sensibly stated, “Lord Cao Xing, the transaction is complete, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Cao Xing replied, “Alright, Lord Hilton, safe travels.”
Hilton gestured a prayer to Cao Xing, “Father of Gods bless you.”
After speaking, Hilton and his caravan disappeared into the vast snowy landscape.
Only the 14 Tree Spirits remained, still kneeling on the ground.
As Guardians of the Pale Tree, they were naturally very cold-resistant; even with just clothes made of leaves, they could survive in extre cold for a long ti.
Cao Xing did not imdiately issue a recruitnt invitation to them but instead said, “Get up now and follow into the territory.”
Now it was still the newbie protection period, but the Lord had the authority to open the territory to other NPCs.
These Tree Spirits obediently stood up, then carefully stepped into Cao Xing’s territory.
Nif, possessing elite potential, stood unremarkably among the crowd.
Dazhuang and Cao Yi were curiously watching this batch of newly joined subjects.
Cao Xing directly said, “Cao Yi, speed up the upgrade progress of the Lord’s Hut.”
Subject Cao Yi imdiately responded, “At your command, Lord!”
“Dazhuang, upgrade more shelters so that our new mbers have a place to live.”
“Happy to serve you, my Master.”
“Dahua, go prepare food for our new mbers.”
Dahua accepted the order and began taking personnel into the Cafeteria to prepare the day’s second al.
The Tree Spirit Clan watched anxiously as this man gave one order after another.
Then, they stood silently by the bonfire, waiting.
Half an hour later, Cao Xing heard a system prompt.
[Your Lord’s Hut has been successfully upgraded, current Level: Level 2]
[Population Cap 50, Reputation Value 200]
[Current Population: 41/100]
[Blacksmith Shop, Ore Processing Plant, Sewing Shop, Cafeteria, etc… territory buildings, can now be upgraded to Level 2.]
Seeing this two-story stone house completely ford, a look of joy appeared on Cao Xing’s face!
Great, finally reached Level 2!
However, this ti the system did not give a reward.
After thinking about it, it was also normal.
After all, with the large base of humans globally, it was not unusual for soone ahead of him to build a Level 2 Lord’s Hut.
Cao Xing turned around and looked at the waiting Tree Spirit Clan, then asked,
“So, I now invite you to join my territory. Are you willing?”
The group of Tree Spirits imdiately knelt down.
“Willing to serve you, esteed Lord.”
A heap of system prompts appeared.
[Recruitnt successful, Tree Spirit Clan: Yobel lv5, Tree Spirit Clan: Anita lv6, Tree Spirit Clan: Nif lv5… have joined your territory.]
Cao Xing nodded, “Very good.”
Then he glanced at these people’s loyalties.
All were between 60~70, not too high.
As for that elite mber of the Tree Spirit Clan,
when Cao Xing’s eyes swept over, Nif instinctively lowered her head, not daring to et his gaze.
Cao Xing didn’t mind either.
A First-tier elite wasn’t very important to him.
As long as she was obedient and willing to work, that was enough.
So, Cao Xing said, “Then you can go to the Cafeteria now to eat so food and replenish your strength.”
Hearing this, the group of Tree Spirit Clan mbers looked at Cao Xing nervously but did not move.
Cao Xing was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
At this ti, a tall and mature-looking female of the Tree Spirit Clan stood out and said, “Esteed Lord, we of the Tree Spirit Clan are accustod to surviving in the wild. Give us a little dry bread, and we will eat outside, so as not to dirty your floors.”
