Everyone Became Lords: I Became A Base-Building Fanatic

Chapter 6: Seven-Day Novice Protection Period

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

As the gentle light of dawn shone through the windows on the top floor of Shadow Dragon Villa and onto the soft bed, it woke Fang Ping up from his slumber. The precious second day of the novice protection period officially began.

Fang Ping rubbed his sleepy eyes and broke free from the comfortable blanket. After putting on his clothes, he walked out of the Shadow Dragon Villa where he had rested for the night. He went to the place where wood and stone materials were piled up to check the results of the Skeleton Soldiers’ overnight labor.

When he reached the place where the materials were piled up, Fang Ping was instantly shocked by the mountain of construction materials.

All kinds of construction materials were piled up neatly, occupying a quarter of the entire territory.

Looking at the four Skeleton Soldiers who were quickly climbing up the mountain of materials and arranging wood and stone, Fang Ping instantly felt the pain of a huge loss.

There were five Skeleton Soldiers during the day yesterday. However, when a Skeleton Soldier was destroyed by a wild wolf yesterday, it had not reached the time when Fang Ping could resummon a soldier. Thus, the damaged Skeleton Soldier had not been repaired.

This delay simply cost him a quarter of his resources. If that Skeleton Soldier was not damaged, these construction resources might have occupied half of his territory.

The appearance of this situation made Fang Ping think of increasing the number of soldiers.

Then, he opened the virtual interface and found the option to increase the number of soldiers.

However, when he saw that upgrading the number of soldiers required a precious mineral called Spirit Stones, Fang Ping immediately fell into depression.

With his current strength, it was already very difficult for him to obtain the resources he usually used. Not only did he have to guard against wild beasts destroying the Skeleton Soldiers outside, but he also had to constantly collect wood and stone to build buildings.

As a result, the possibility of him obtaining Spirit Stones was almost zero.

However, after seeing the effects of upgrading the Undead-type Skeleton Soldiers, Fang Ping suddenly felt that he had to find Spirit Stones no matter what to upgrade his soldiers.

[Undead Summoning Spell]

[Strength: Level-0 (All attributes +1)]

[Materials needed for upgrade: Spirit Stone (0/10)]

[Post-Upgrade: Five additional summoned Skeleton Soldiers, Strength +1, and 20% chance of summoning a Skeleton Dog.]

It had to be known that after other soldiers were leveled up, the number of soldiers would only increase by three, while the number of high-leveled or top-notch soldiers would only increase by one. Compared to his Undead Skeleton Soldiers, the difference was simply too great.

This was also to make up for the lack of strength that the Skeleton Soldiers possessed. Thus, after the special modification from the Myriad Race Battlefield, the number of Skeleton Soldiers summoned was double that of other troop types of the same level.

At the thought of so many benefits, Fang Ping completely let go of his envy of the high-leveled and top-notch troop types.

After all, the troop type that suited him was the best. When the potential to create a large army of Undead Skeleton Soldiers was combined with the characteristic of the Crazy Demon Infrastructure System to crazily build construction items and increase Fang Ping’s strength, it was a perfect combination.

However, where did the Spirit Stones needed for the upgrade come from? Fang Ping fell into deep thought.

Fang Ping, who was deep in thought for a moment without any thoughts, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Since he did not have a way to obtain Spirit Stones, he would go to the World Announcement Trading Area to search for them. If he could find Spirit Stones, he might be able to increase the strength of his Skeleton Soldiers today.

After thinking of a solution that could not quite be considered a solution, Fang Ping quickly began to move. He summoned the World Announcement interface with his mind, found the resource trading button, and pressed it.

Immediately, a stream of messages asking for trades simply popped up in the Trading Area.

“I’m willing to exchange five units of stone and wood for meat. I hope a god can help this poor child.”

“Big Brothers, Big Sisters, please do me a favor. I haven’t eaten a grain of rice or drunk a mouthful of water for a day. As long as someone exchanges meat with me now, I’m willing to exchange ten units of wood and stone, or three units of iron ore.”

“I’m currently in a desolate desert. Other than sand and cacti, I don’t have any other resources.

“As long as someone offers two units of meat or clean water, you can exchange it for one unit of sand gold.”

When Fang Ping saw that the Trading Area was filled with requests for high-priced meat and clean water, he immediately understood that the most precious things at this stage were not the various construction resources, but food and clean water.

Since most novice Overlords did not dare to leave their territories, if the soldiers they pulled also had shocking appetites, in these seven days, the Overlords could only rely on the limited resources in their territories to exchange for the food needed to support the soldiers and maintain the loyalty of the soldiers.

Otherwise, if the soldiers betrayed them because of prolonged hunger and wanted to kill their Overlord for food, it would be very tragic.

Just as Fang Ping was browsing through the various trading posts to see if there were any posts offering Spirit Stones for trade, a fleeting trading post caught Fang Ping’s attention.

“I have ten units of meat and clean water respectively. If you need these materials, you can exchange them yourself.”

When Fang Ping saw the post about meat and clean water, his curiosity got the better of him. He casually opened the materials shop owned by this Overlord, who requested completely different materials from the other Overlords in the Trading Area.

[Meat]

[Units: 10]

[Trading Conditions: One unit to be exchanged for ten units of any material.]

[Clean Water]

[Units: 10]

[Trading Conditions: One unit to be exchanged for 15 units of any material.]

Seeing such a high exchange condition, Fang Ping subconsciously knew that no one would exchange anything.

However, reality was like a slap in Fang Ping’s face.

The post had only been up for three seconds. Fang Ping only took a glance at the shop, and all the units displayed on it were instantly cleared to zero.

Furthermore, in the shop interface of the Trading Area, posts requesting for trades continued to be crazily refreshed.

The Overlords in the Trading Area snapped up the goods so quickly that Fang Ping saw an unlimited business opportunity.

For the other novice Overlords, what they lacked the most was food and clean water. However, to Fang Ping, these were the things he needed least.

Since that was the case, why not take advantage of the seven-day novice protection period to make good use of this difference and earn a huge sum of resources to build other powerful buildings?

At this thought, Fang Ping was enlightened. He did not have the means to obtain Spirit Stones, but that did not mean that the new Overlords in the Myriad Races Battlefield could not obtain Spirit Stones either.

Moreover, even if he could not exchange for Spirit Stones, he could still exchange items that were completely useless to him for the resources needed to build construction items.

Fang Ping immediately gave up on the idea of building a defense facility. In any case, during the seven-day novice protection period, no wild beasts would attack the territory, and he would not take half a step out of the territory.

After thinking it through, Fang Ping ordered the Skeleton Soldiers to collect some branches, vines, and other materials outside the territory. He also ordered them to build a few traps and increase the speed at which the Skeleton Soldiers killed their prey.

At the same time, he asked them to try their best to hunt down small beasts and decompose them into fur and meat while collecting materials.

As for the large beasts, after they made the traps, the Skeleton Soldiers would hunt them with the traps.
