Chapter 39: Plan in Progress!

[Jessica (0145): Mr. Rene, how’s the situation on your side?]

It showed that the message was sent at four in the afternoon.

Rene hadn’t replied to her for more than two hours. Jessica, who was probably in another part of the forest, had been frantic.

“Because of the restrictions on the transaction of soldiers, I went to kill monsters for a period of time. Now, it’s settled.”

“That’s great.” Jessica replied the next second.

Obviously, she had been waiting for Rene’s answer.

Rene did not say anything. He simply opened a trading page and placed the four blacksmiths on it.

Of course, the blacksmiths selected this time were all recruited.

Rene would not trade a synthesized blacksmith for others.

After all, their efficiency was about 30% higher than ordinary blacksmiths.


Ding!

[System prompt: 4 blacksmiths traded. Obtained: Water Rune+2, Wood Rune+1.]

The transaction was completed quickly, and Rene obtained three runes.

Blacksmiths were not part of the deal, so she needed to pay for them.

However, Jessica obviously did not have many rare materials on her, so she could only give Rene 3 runes first.

This was the price that they had discussed beforehand, but Jessica still felt embarrassed.

After all, the value of a blacksmith was much higher than a rune.

“Thank you, Mr. Rene.”

“You’re welcome.”

After replying, Rene edited another trading interface.

There were 10 pieces of iron, 10 bronze pieces, 300 wood pieces, and 300 stones on it.

This transaction was set as a direct gift.

The iron and bronze in front were the promised supplies.

As for the wood and stones, Rene gave them as extra gifts.

“So many resources?” Jessica was puzzled.

Although the two of them had an agreement, in this incomparably vast world, it was impossible for everyone to meet within a few years or even decades. How could anyone believe a verbal agreement?

‘Are you too confident?’

‘Or are you really not interested in these things?’

Rene did not say anything. He only replied with a sentence: “Do not doubt those who work with you!”

Jessica was greatly moved by his short sentence.

Regardless of the other party’s motives, when meeting someone who completely trusted you in such a helpless environment, you would feel motivated and have the confidence to survive.

On the other side, Rene had no idea how Jessica felt.

To him, it was just a small amount of resources, not worth mentioning at all.

If Jessica would betray the alliance for such a thing, Rene would still feel glad about it.

After all, he had not invested too much effort and money into it yet, so the resources that were taken away were not cheated, but stopped his future losses.

“Use the supplies I gave you earlier and build another blacksmith shop as soon as possible.”

Rene said, “Since you’ve already obtained a Water Condensing Machine, I believe many others have obtained such a device as well. We have to make the most money in the shortest time possible before these things become popular.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away.”

Jessica was a smart woman. She could read Rene’s mind from these conversations.

At the same time, she had enough ambition.

Therefore, she would do her best to complete all the arrangements.

This wasn’t just about earning money, but also about what Rene thought of her.

What she wanted wasn’t just how much money the machines would make, but to build a more stable relationship with Rene and pave the way for the future.

All of this was included in this joint project.

“The cooperation with Jessica did wake me up.”

“Since my territory’s development is limited, I should gather enough people to bloom more and gain more benefits.”

Rene raised his eyebrows, “Like an investment company?”

This way of investing in various territories was indeed the same as the investment companies on Earth.

When the other party needed resources, you would give them resources and turn their territory into your own factory.

This way, his income would increase rapidly.

Of course, there was a difference between the two.

After all, there were still laws on Earth, and it was rather difficult to get funds.

But in this world, there was no law, nor any other binding force.

The only thing one could rely on were their eyes.

Finding trustworthy allies was the biggest test.

“This is just a direction for development. As for how to do it, it also depends on how the future changes.”

Rene closed his friend list.

Then, he checked the territory’s warehouse.

After an entire day of hard work, the territory had a massive amount of resources again.

First was the blacksmith shop!

During this period of time, the three blacksmith shops had sold 500 machetes and earned 9,900 wood and 9,900 stones.

Next were the Soft Water Slimes!

18 slimes produced 38 liters of drinking water per hour. After 15 hours, they also collected 11,400 wood.

The combined revenues of both industries amount to 31,200 units of basic resources.

The cost of upgrading the building could basically be offset by the woodcutters.

Therefore, the territory still had 30,000 units of wood and stone resources.

“Looks like I can directly upgrade to Level 3 Overlord’s Hall.”

Rene nodded in satisfaction.

Previously, he had noticed that the requirement to upgrade the Overlord’s Hall was 2,000 pieces of wood, 2,000 stones, 200 pieces of iron, and 200 pieces of bronze.

Now the wood and stone were settled.

However, he was still short of a hundred pieces of iron and five pieces of bronze.

Hence, Rene wanted to purchase these two items first.

Iron is worth 50 wood and bronze is worth 100 wood.

It would take 25,000 units of wood to collect nearly 300 units of bronze and iron.

In that case, 30,000 wood per stone wasn’t a lot.

He even seemed to be in a tight spot.

This was because Rene still wanted to buy runes.

Due to the upgrade of the barracks, there were many more archers and spear soldiers in the territory. It was time to upgrade the quality of all of them so that the speed of upgrading would be faster.

Furthermore, the price of runes was increasing every day.

In the morning, the price of a rune was still around 200 wood.

However, when he checked the trading platform, the price of a single rune had already reached 300 wood.

It would probably exceed 400 by tonight.

Rene didn’t bother with the rising price of runes. He just bought the iron and bronze he needed now.

As for the runes, he was probably the only one who could use them now.

The prices on the market were just due to the greed of other players, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

Two items were successfully placed on the trading platform.

The price was 10% higher than the market price.

Ryan did not mean to raise the market price, but to buy as many materials as possible.

In addition, the reason why the price of stones was lower than that of wood was because the extraction difficulty of stone materials was higher.

Anyway, Rene had given them two choices. They could choose whatever they needed.
