Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Three Days Later, The Troop Refreshed

After the nest honey was taken out, it could be dried or special tools could be used to take out the honey.

Of course, he didn’t need to do these tasks.

As the ruler of the territory, the only thing Richard had to do was to give orders and make good use of the resources of the territory to complete his will.

After Richard dealt with the desert bees, he went to the fire dragon rabbit breeding area next to it.

The breeding base had already taken shape. A two-meter-high wooden fence was built on the outermost perimeter. Inside were a one-meter-tall and two-meter-wide wisteria and thorns.

A small team of bandaged mummies guarded around.

The wisteria and thorns were already lush and full of vitality because of the vast amount of water irrigation.

The sharp thorns that grew seven to 8 centimeters long were enough to make warriors even in thick armor feel nervous.

At this time, the desert gnomes were setting up another purple vine and thorns outside the fence. It seemed like they wanted to completely lock the surrounding area.

Richard was quite appreciative of this.

If the fire dragon rabbit fur could be expanded, the benefits they could produce would not be worse than the desert honey.

The blanket made of the fire dragon rabbit’s fur, which could automatically control the temperature, made him deeply understand what Onyx had said. In the Ice and Snow Empire, only the royal family and nobles were qualified to use the products of the fire dragon rabbit.

“Oh, Great Lord Richard, your humble servant greets you.”

The thin and weak person in charge of the breeding base, Green Tooth, immediately ran over to greet Richard when he saw him.

Richard marveled about whether to laugh or cry with Green Tooth’s flattering look.

The life of a gnome was truly bewildering.

“How are the fire dragon rabbits?”

Green Tooth patted his toothpick-like chest and said excitedly, “Lord, those fire dragon rabbits are very healthy now. I inspect them every day. I never allow them to eat!”

Other things were raised for fear they will not eat but the fire dragon rabbits were raised for fear they will eat.

It was also quite interesting.

“Where are the fire dragon rabbits’ cubs?”

“They are growing very fast. It is estimated that they will reach maturity at the end of the month. Next month, they will shed their fur and enter the breeding period.”

This good guy was really fast.

“Take good care of them. If you have any problems, come and find me.”

“Yes, Lord!”

The fire dragon rabbits were basking in the sun all day and there was nothing to see. Richard returned to the territory after a few words of reminders.

When Richard entered the Lord’s mansion, he first used the 100 troop lairs he had just bought to upgrade the cursed pyramid to rare.

With that, he now had three rare troop lairs—the cursed pyramid, the scorpion warrior nest, and the battle axe wooden house.

However, what he desired the most was to upgrade the battle axe wooden house to rare first.

“I still have 260,000 units of resources… To buy 1,000 troop lairs requires 500,000 units. That’s not a small number. However, if I encounter a group of wild desert wargs in the wilderness, these problems will be solved.”

While Richard had some thoughts, he seemed to have remembered something. He took out the building blueprint he obtained when he conquered the gold mine from the system space—food workshop.

He had been so busy these past few days that he almost forgot about this matter.

[Food Workshop Blueprint]

[Level: Normal]

[Characteristics: Food workshop can be built for research, production, and processing of food.]

[Construction Resources: 5,000 gold coins, 10,000 units of wood, and 10,000 units of stone]

[Construction Time: 7 days]

[Number of People Needed: When the number of people is less than the standard number, the construction time will increase, but when it is greater, the time will decrease.]

[Occupation: 10 spaces]

[Description: Your territory can taste more delicious food.]

“Food, clothing, shelter, and travel, the potential of the food workshop is limitless. As long as it is done well, there is no need to worry about not earning resources…”

Richard took the blueprint and came to the space near the well.

He was ready to build here.

There were 60 more squares of open spaces and exactly 10 squares in this area after the territory was upgraded.

The water well was located southwest of the Lord’s mansion, next to the residential area in the west.

He reached out his hand to call a resident over and asked him to call Karu over.

A moment later, fully white-haired but exceptionally energetic Karu arrived.

“Lord Richard.”

Richard motioned to Karu with the blueprint in his hand and told him the general attributes and construction requirements.

“Immediately find 30 workers and build the food workshop. I have a feeling that this building might be particularly important to Twilight City.”

As long as they could produce enough delicious food, there would be a market for 20 billion players and the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce in the sales channel. There would surely be no worries about sales.

Of course, the exact situation would only be known after the food workshop was completed.

After Richard had assigned the task, he left enough resources to fill up the surrounding space.

Then, he ignored everything else and prepared to continue hunting with the troop.

Before the other industries in Twilight City developed, they still had to focus on hunting.

But he believed that with his nurturing, it wouldn’t be long before Twilight City would have its industry.

At that time, Twilight City would usher in a period of rapid development.

Richard’s goal this time was to make up for the shortfall of over 200,000 resources needed to upgrade the Axe of the Dead before the troop lairs are refreshed on Monday, May 15.

However, this was not a small amount.

To increase efficiency, he thought about it and transferred the five teams of bandaged mummies stationed in the territory to Gray’s hands.

He asked the A-rank hero to lead the team to scan the map in another direction.

The hero unit had super high intelligence and was no worse than lords in leading the troops.

Gray happened to be a mummy hero and had an additional attribute bonus to the mummy troop.

The bandaged mummies were put to good use in his hands.

The safety of Twilight City was guarded by nine teams of elite guardian mummies. It was enough for the time being.

From noon until the sky turned dark, Richard returned with his prey.

At the same time, Gray was not inferior, and he also gained a lot.

The bandaged mummies did not lose any members after a whole day of battle, which made Richard feel relieved. His trust in gray increased again.

On May 13, 14, and 15, for three consecutive days, Richard and Gray left early and returned late every day to scan the map.

But the field battles were not always smooth sailing. Gray was attacked and badly injured by a group of rare field troops at noon on May 15.

The bandaged mummy lost one team, leaving only four teams in total.

But the harvest that day was more than Richard’s previous hunts.

When he returned, almost every bandaged mummy carried a prey or two on its back.

On the night of May 15, Richard returned and brought Gray back to his territory.

Looking at the pile of prey, he was in a good mood.

He left a huge part for the warehouse to fill up but sold the rest out.

The result of the three-day hunt was a large number of resources were accounted for. He had accumulated enough for the upgrade of the Axe of the Dead troop.

He looked at the data on his status panel that soared and he was in high spirits.

[Gold: 200,000 pieces]

[Wood: 150,000 units]

[Stone: 150,000 units]

[Iron ore: 130,000 units]

What made Richard excited was not only the abundance of resources, but also the fact that it was Monday, and the refresh period of the troop’s lair was about to begin.

His troop was about to expand once again.

The opening of the large-scale dungeon at the end of the month was getting increasingly closer.

The more troops he had, the more Richard would have the confidence to clash with the other lords.
