Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Subject: Zhang Fei, occupation: Spearman, level: LV5, potential: 3 stars, strength: 56. Agility: 46, spirit: 26, ability: basic marksmanship LV5, combat skill: spear thrust, loyalty: 85.”

Not bad!

He was a spearman with quite the potential.

The other spearmen did not show their potential, and their strength and agility were slightly weaker than Zhang Fei’s.

However, their various foundational qualities were still stronger than those of the soldiers who had been promoted from the civilian class.

Their basic spear techniques were generally at LVL 2 to LVL 3.

They weren’t the white board LVL 1 that Jiang Chen had expected.

The overall strength of these spearmen wasn’t weak.

He had the spearmen head to various regions and bring the corpses of wild beasts back to his territory.

He finally saw a scroll placed on the first floor of the tower and picked it up to take a look.

[ system notification: Excellent Long Spear Blueprint obtained. ]

He opened the crafting pane.

[ excellent long spear blueprint: Wood/5, Iron Block 6, mithril/1]

[ attributes: Sharp 13, Armor Penetration + 3]

This was just right, they could change their equipment for the spearmen.

They were all wearing ordinary equipment that didn’t even enter the grade.

After this blueprint had been successfully crafted, it still had the armor penetration attribute, far exceeding Jiang Chen’s expectations.

“I’ll have to get Tie Dan to start forging weapons when I return!”

After carefully searching through this area and finding some resources,.

Jiang Chen returned home.

When he returned to the territory, the sky had already begun to darken.

Jiang Chen summarized his gains for today.

He now had many buildings that he could build.

Farmland, Smithy, armory.

Level two residences, including territory upgrades.

And so on!

There were many of them.

But the daily consumption of resources in the territory was also very high.

In comparison, the increase in basic resources wasn’t much after a day.

It might not be enough to build all these buildings and upgrade the territory.

But in a single comparison, the resources Jiang Chen’s territory received every day were much more than the other lords!

“Strengthen the armed forces of the territory, expand the development of the territory’s map, increase the collection of resources, and recruit more people to put into mining.”

This would form a virtuous cycle!

“The union must build again, and the farmland must be built first.”

“With recruitment-type buildings, the use of food will be much greater than before.”

“And in the trading market, the price of food is much more expensive than wood or stone. It’s even more impossible to buy it in large quantities.”

Many lords still didn’t have enough to eat.

Many lords still relied on chopping down trees every day, picking up some basic resources, and buying food from the market to survive.

Jiang Chen opened the Lords system and looked up the current resources.

[ food 68, Wood 366, grass 553, Stone 333, iron 142, copper 13, mithril 9]

[ crystal: 3, Elemental Crystal: 2, Soul Fragment: 22]

[ spinach seed: 50, rice tree: 10]

These were the resources he had at the moment.

After returning to the territory, Jiang Chen ordered people to bring the berries in barrels.

He hung up the ‘berries’ one by one on the exchange hall.

This time, he only exchanged them for food, wood, and stones.

He sold the three in a flash.

He went to the thatched cottage and took out the territory upgrade scroll.

“Territory upgrade scroll: Wood/200, thatched grass/200, stone/200, iron/100, soul fragment/20.”

He had enough resources.

With a wave of his hand, he leveled up.

The sheepskin scroll in his hand flew up into the air and started to burn.

A beam of light shone down.

The entire center of the territory immediately changed.

The surrounding walls also became one meter tall walls.

The gates of the territory slowly rose up. It was a magnificent sight.

The area continued to expand.

Pieces of bluestone and brick walls were erected one after another, and the scenery around them slowly changed.

In a few minutes, Jiang Chen’s lodging house had transformed into a small two-story building.

It was like a small villa.

[ level 1 territory: Manor House ]

Jiang Chen pushed open the door and walked in.

What greeted his eyes was a large hall with an area of seventy to eighty square meters.

It was carpeted, and there was an office stone platform in the middle.

There were also a few large wooden chairs, covered with animal skin.

They carried a bit of a luxurious temperament.

Jiang Chen walked around inside and out.

The living room, dining room, and one bedroom were on the first floor.

There were four bedrooms on the second floor.

There was also a large bed in the master bedroom.

And there was a bathroom! There was a large wooden bucket in the bathroom.

There was also a drainage facility.

In front of the manor’s small building, there were stone slabs that spread out to form a small square.

The civilians that had been recruited would appear here.

“Calm down, calm down. This is only a first level territory.”

“The life of a great lord has only just begun.”

“How can I indulge in enjoyment!”

He looked at the changes after the territory’s upgrade.

“System notification: the territory’s upgrade has been completed. Currently, it is a level 1 territory.”

“System notification: after the upgrade, when the territory’s buildings recruit civilians, there is a small chance of recruiting civilians with potential.”

“System notification: after the upgrade, the construction time of the new buildings has been greatly reduced.”

“System notification: after the upgrade, the territory has obtained a level one protection system. It can be activated throughout the day and consumes 1 soul fragment per day.”

“System notification: after the upgrade, the level of exploration required to open the map has been reduced by 10%.”

“System notification: after the upgrade, the storage area of the Lord’s small building has been expanded.”

…

Every item was quite useful!

Jiang Chen opened the recruitment column.

“Lord’s Small Building/Watchtower. They were all in a bright color. He could directly recruit spearmen here.”

But there was no rush.

The other subjects moved the materials to the surroundings of the Lord’s small building.

“The materials are all here.”

Jiang Chen swept his gaze over them and walked north.

He wanted to build the farmland.

Planting rice trees in the farmland needed to depend on a place with sufficient water.

He couldn’t choose a terrain that was too steep.

All he had were construction blueprints, not complete buildings.

He still needed to build.

“This is it.”

He chose a small ravine on the northeast side.

This place was connected to a small river.

He opened the building column and chose “Farmland” to place.

“System upgrade: Stone-50, rare earth – 50, Crystal-1, Elemental Crystal-1.”

In an instant, an enormous shadow of a building appeared on the hill.

Jiang Chen gathered his subjects to begin construction.

He now had a population of 19.

Eighteen of them were male subjects.

The vast majority of them, yes, were soldiers.

Five soldiers, five spearmen.

One builder, one craftsman.

There weren’t many civilians left.

They were usually transport workers.

Of course, the soldiers could also cut wood and build things, or even faster. At this time, they took off their weapons, picked up their tools and hammered.

After dinner, they would rotate with the construction team..
