Chapter 90: Prelude to Mass Production
Richard didn't know how Frostmooth would retaliate against Wolves, but as Wolves' vassal, Chiffon still had a certain chance of being implicated.
He guessed that even if Shuangmo really wanted to attack Benlang and Benlang's vassals, she would start with a war of words.
For example, if you disrupt an industry or business, and cut off other sources of income, how would Benlang feel?
In this way...
This not only demonstrated that Shuangmo was wise and righteous, refraining from using force to disrupt the peace of the North, but also proved to everyone what the consequences would be for offending the ruler of the North.
Wouldn't that get us back?
So.
The only thing that can work for chiffon cake is frost...
Because Frost is a gateway blocking Chiffon's access to the Empire, if Frostfox issues a blockade order to Frostfox, it will definitely be a disaster for Chiffon.
This is interesting...
but.
All of this was just Richard's speculation; he was considering the potential negative impact Chiffon might suffer in this matter.
To find out what will actually happen, we'll have to wait until the storm hits Benlang before things become clear.
In general.
His concern stemmed from the fact that chiffon cake was too weak.
With their current strength, they would struggle to protect themselves against any lord, let alone a powerful figure like Frostfox.
To maximize their strength in the short term, they need to quickly recruit the reserve forces from the Wolf Territory.
We only need to bring in two hundred people.
If each person is given an Iridium crop, Chiffon can have a high-level legion composed entirely of novice extraordinary soldiers.
In the future, it will only take one year...
No.
Richard was confident that with just six months of development time, Chiffon would grow into the strongest overlord in the North.
none of them.
Thinking of this.
Richard made a decision.
Tomorrow, I'll head west to fetch someone!
Since you won't let me enjoy the finer things in life and develop peacefully, then don't blame me for interrupting my construction and mass-producing troops!
At that time...
Looking for a fight?
Who's going to play these fancy games with you?
Dare to yell at a chiffon cake?
I'll transform into your ancestor and dig up your entire family history for eighteen generations!
He had hesitated to set off before mainly because the conditions were not right.
Firstly, because the journey is long. On the way there, it was fine, as the entire Universiade route is on the highway and only takes a whole day each way.
The return trip is not feasible because it would require bringing a large group of people, which would significantly slow down the journey, taking at least eight to nine days and severely hindering the development of the territory.
Secondly, there is no one available.
If he were to go to the Wolf Territory alone, he would have no chance of persuading the reservists to join him with just a few words.
If you want to go.
Karl and at least two guards must be brought along to act as intermediaries.
He personally promised and demonstrated to his former comrades the benefits of quickly advancing to the extraordinary level after joining Chiffon.
This is far more effective than Richard talking himself hoarse.
However, if so many people leave at once, the chiffon's defensive capabilities will be greatly reduced.
But the situation is different now.
During the four days he was away, Chiffon's monster army experienced a surge in strength.
now.
The task force tamed a total of twenty-five armored flying insects and ten rock crabs.
With the daily intake of dozens of kilograms of Venus crops, these gluttons gradually broke through to the intermediate extraordinary realm.
They are there to guard the chiffon cake.
As long as we don't encounter an invasion by a Star-level extraordinary monster like the Rock Armored Earth Dragon.
In addition, the mine portal will ensure the territory's temporary safety, allowing Karl and Im to confidently accompany him to Wolf's Territory.
Furthermore.
If Shuangmo really intends to blockade Qifeng, then it will be extremely difficult for this group of people and the families of the guards to reach Qifeng.
It's better to go pick them up yourself; that way, you can deal with any unexpected situations promptly.
Although being away from chiffon cakes for too long will greatly delay the construction progress of all projects, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Let's mass produce a wave of minions first!
Having made up his mind, Richard stopped agonizing over it, and all his anxiety transformed into determination.
Before Richard returned, Remington had already helped him inventory and verify the Ferret Merchant's goods; Richard only needed to pay for them.
This time, instead of using silver star crops for settlement, currency was used, totaling over fifty gold.
Aside from poultry, livestock, paint, glue, flour, and smoked meat, Oscar did not bring any seeds.
He said he had reported it to the head office, which was sending people to search for the items and planned to deliver them all together in six days.
But...
Even if Oscar comes to deliver all the flower and vegetable seeds six days later, Richard will have already left Chiffon and may be on his way back.
It's a shame that we can't input the seeds into the system at this time and select the spring seeds to sow.
This is what makes Richard so irritable.
The plan was well-made, but I'm afraid that some unforeseen changes will prevent it from being implemented smoothly.
After payment, the current balance is:
471 gold, 84 silver, and 55 copper.
After seeing Oscar off, Richard turned back to the lord's manor and summoned Carl, Owen, Lina, and Remington to the lord's hall.
He needs to take stock of what he has gained over the past few days before finalizing the next steps.
After all, we need to set off for Benlang Territory early tomorrow morning, and all matters must be arranged today, without any delay.
First, there's the mine.
Following Richard's instructions before leaving, the assault team slowed down the expansion of the monster forces.
This means that the assault team doesn't need to waste time forcibly taming monsters; they can simply clear the floors quickly and then let the gathering team collect and clean them up.
So much so that in just four days, they broke through from the fifth floor all the way to the tenth floor.
The harvest was quite substantial.
They obtained a total of over 5,000 pieces of coal, over 1,300 pieces of copper ore, and over 100 pieces of iron ore.
Although silver and gold mines have not yet appeared, a crystal mine has been discovered on the ninth and tenth floors respectively.
Amethyst and citrine.
Like ordinary boulders, these crystal mines are three meters tall.
According to the mining rules that Richard initially set for the mining team, the team did not mine the ore, but simply marked it and left the ore intact in place.
Games are different from reality.
For example, a canned food jar.
It can compress several kilograms of vegetables into a glass jar, which is equivalent to compressing the volume in the void.
The same applies to these crystal mines. If you collect them using the same methods as in the game, you can only get one or a few fist-sized crystals from a three-meter-tall crystal mine.
and.
In the game, many gems and crystals don't have much use; at most, they can only be used to donate to the museum, unlock some story content, or be sold for money.
In reality, by using a meticulous chisel and slow peeling technique, one can obtain crystal blocks of the same size as the actual crystal.
Moreover, these items are also valuable spellcasting materials for magicians, and alchemists use them frequently, making them quite valuable.
Take out a piece separately.
The prices are comparable to several Silver Star crops.
Tomorrow we'll head to Wolf's Den. Bringing a few crystals as a gift would be perfect, showing our sincerity and letting our elder brother see the harvest from Chiffon Den.
