Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor!

Chapter 9: Crazy Deal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the forging hammer in the warehouse, Rene felt that it was too surreal.

In truth, he had never thought that he would be able to obtain the forging hammer this time. After all, he rarely saw this term in the chat.

However, he did not expect to receive such a surprise after the transaction.

It seemed that this female Overlord, Jessica, had also encountered something that could change her fate in another place.

Otherwise, she would not have so many special items.

“With the forging hammer, I can create a blacksmith.”

“Then, I just need to build another blacksmith shop to produce machetes!”

The forging difficulty of the blacksmith shop was much simpler than upgrading the guild.

In this way, he would soon be able to use the machete to create warriors with enough combat strength.

Although soldiers could also be produced in the barracks, the repair fees for the soldiers drafted from laborers were low. In comparison, using the latter could save a lot of money.

Rene turned off the chat and began working on the tools in the storage.

…

Ding!

[Edit successful. Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Woodcutter!]

[Edit successful. Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Miner!]

[Edit successful. Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Blacksmith!]

Using three tools, he had created three types of technicians.

There was no need to say more about the woodcutter. Chopping was his forte.

The miner’s technique was mining. He could provide stones for the territory, and it was also one of the most important basic workers.

The blacksmith was a worker who helped forge tools in the territory. However, if he wanted to work, he needed a blacksmith shop and the corresponding forging blueprints.

Rene had a blueprint for the machete.

As for the blacksmith shop, there was a corresponding construction blueprint in the [Construction System].

[Blacksmith Shop]: Stone 0/150, Wood 0/50

Fewer resources were required to construct a blacksmith shop, it mainly used stones.

It was relatively easy to obtain stones in the early stages. There were many scattered ones near the territory.

This might be due to the system’s care for the Overlord players.

Rene divided the remaining six laborers and idle blacksmith to move the scattered stones.

Miners were excavating stones in the nearby mountains to find resources.

Due to the fact that the location of the mining site was quite a distance from the territory, he needed the Flame Slime to accompany him there. Otherwise, it was too dark in the forest and he could not see the way clearly.

As for the territory, there was a bonfire that illuminated the surroundings.

Rene took care of the fire while the other two cut down the trees.

Although wood was the most abundant resource in this forest, it required the two of them to collect it before wood could be stored in the territory’s warehouse.

Just like that, everything was in full swing.

In the meantime, Rene calculated the efficiency of the workers.

As many of the surrounding stones were buried in the soil, the efficiency of moving them was very slow. About 30 units of stones could be harvested per hour.

The two woodcutters beside him could produce 26 units of wood per hour.

As for the miner on the other side, he could produce 13 units of stone per hour, not including the time of transportation.

In that case, he would be able to obtain the materials needed to build the new building in four hours.

…

Two hours later, the Flame Slime absorbed a large amount of fire elements and replenished its lost parts.

In the same manner, Rene cut off a quarter of its body again.

This level of loss would not affect its combat ability.

Rene knew the limit.

As he was preparing to sell it, he glanced at the Fire Rune Slime not far away.

This little guy had also absorbed a lot of fire elements, and it was almost saturated now.

It was different from the Flame Slime.

The quantity of fire elements the Fire Rune Slime could store was very small, and the quality was not high either, so the brightness produced was relatively low. Moreover, the maximum illumination range was only five meters.

If it was cut and sold, the effect would be similar to a candle.

Working under such dim lights would definitely test one’s eyesight.

“A bit of lighting is better than nothing.”

Rene did not let go of the opportunity to make money. He still operated on the little guy as before.

The two axes separated into two pieces of glowing mucus.

There was definitely a market for such things.

After all, the female Overlord’s adaptability to the dark environment was much weaker. This light could always make them feel a little safer.

Therefore, no matter what, it could be sold for dozens of silver coins.

“I’ll exchange the strong light balls for fire runes first.”

“Let’s exchange the weak light balls for something else.”

Rene first sent Jessica a high-quality lump of light. She was probably anxious already, after all, there were many things that could not be done at night, a torment for an ambitious Overlord.

Having done this, Rene set other transaction conditions for the weak light balls.

————

[Seller]: Rene (0401)

[Trading Good]: Unknown Glowing Mucus x1.

[Requirement]: 2 pieces of iron.

[Storage]: 2

[Note]: If you have a special item, you can send a private message to discuss the transaction.

This time, it was iron.

Forging a machete required this material.

In this survival game, iron was a relatively rare basic resource. The players had to build iron workshops and smelt iron ores to obtain them.

Of course, in the early stages of the game, the system had arranged many benefits around all the Overlords. As one of the basic resources, there would definitely be a lot of discovered iron.

Indeed, Rene soon got what he wanted.

Using another high-quality ball of light, Rene exchanged for fire runes.

Only with fire runes could he create Fire Rune Slimes. This way, he could increase production and earn the most benefits in the shortest time possible.

Although the fire rune was a relatively rare material, it could not be of use to the current Overlords.

Therefore, when they saw that the fire runes could be exchanged for light balls, many people could not help but come to purchase them. Even the production of tomorrow’s light balls was booked by many people, and they all sent private messages to Rene.

“Boss, can I book a ball of light?”

“Brother Rene, I’d like to reserve a weak light ball. Is that okay?”

“I can offer three units of iron to preorder the weak light ball tonight.”

“A gold coin and a fire rune. I want a high-quality light ball at 6pm tonight.”

Thousands of private messages were sent over. Countless people wanted to book the light balls and prepare for the following night’s work.

Just because Rene could produce fire, it did not mean that everyone could.

That was not possible.

For most people, using wood to start a fire was very difficult. It was not something that could be accomplished with just effort.

This was especially true for people from wealthy families with good material conditions. This was simply impossible.

Thus, the light ball was a widely sought commodity.

Some people even offered a higher price to get an appointment.

But Rene did not agree to all of them immediately.

He only replied the same message to everyone, “You can make reservations, but you must pay the full amount in advance!”

When they heard this news, more than 90% of the people stopped talking.

This was a survival game. No one could be trusted.

A deal like “paying the full amount first” was a condition that they could not accept.

However!

There were also bold Overlords who knew the importance of time.

Therefore, they decided to take a gamble.

As long as they could obtain the light lump, they could establish a sufficient advantage for themselves.

As for the losses if they were cheated, they were willing to bear the consequences. Investments carried risks, otherwise, in his former world, among billions of people, there should not be poor people!
