Following that, Leo Ray once again assumed the identity of Anonymous Bigshot, exchanging 1000 snake meats for a massive amount of basic resources in preparation for the next mansion upgrade.

This move immediately caused waves of envy and admiration from others in the Chat Channel.

In a short time, the number of Anonymous Bigshot supporters skyrocketed.

Many Lords, who were originally planning to rest as the sky grew darker, were stimulated and picked up their tools to work passionately.

After everything was completed, Leo Ray took stock of his meat supplies and resources.

He still had 1200 units of beef and 280 units of snake meat.

As for the resources in storage, they reached a staggering 32,000 units of wood, 28,000 units of thatch, and 13,800 units of stone—far exceeding the amount needed for the next mansion upgrade.

“Let’s call it a day today. As for other things, I’ll send Taylor out tomorrow to get more meat,” he decided.

With renewed energy, Leo Ray left the Lord’s Mansion.

At this time, the sky was filled with a red glow from the setting sun.

Looking up, only the Little Sun remained, emitting the last lingering light of the day.

Looking around, thanks to the combined efforts of the 40 Tier 1 Subordinates and Taylor, the trees surrounding the wooden house had been cleared, leaving a large flat area.

The chopped wood was neatly stacked nearby.

As Leo Ray looked at everyone’s orderly work throughout the territory, he nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly, with a thought, nearly 2,000 units of wood entered his storage space.

Afterward, Leo Ray took out the Building Blueprint: Ordinary Residential House x5 and Building Blueprint: Storage Room x5, and started construction.

Thus, accompanied by colorful light curtains flashing by.

Soon, one after another, buildings began to rise from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, ten brand new wooden structures were erected around the once lonely Lord’s Mansion, making the scene quite spectacular.

This sight attracted exclamations of amazement from the subordinates working nearby, with many even staring in awe.

Upon closer inspection, the size of the ordinary residential houses was slightly larger than the previous level 1 wooden houses, easily accommodating 10 people; the storage rooms were slightly smaller.

The resource consumption for these buildings was not much—just 5,000 units of wood, 2,000 units of thatch, and 1,000 units of stone.

Moreover, Leo Ray deliberately built these two types of buildings in alternating arrangement, making them look neat and orderly and convenient for future access to tools.

“The four residential houses will be occupied by the four teams, while the last one will be left to Taylor, as a high-level subordinate should have special treatment,” he decided.

Thinking of this, Leo Ray waved his hand and summoned everyone.

“Alright, that’s it for today. You all worked hard.”

First, he briefed the allocation of accommodation to everyone.

Then, with a thought, 100 units of snake meat and 100 units of beef were neatly lined up in front of everyone.

200 pounds of meat were undoubtedly enough for forty-two people to eat until they were full.

“Now let’s prepare for tonight’s barbecue.”

The moment his words fell, a wave of cheers echoed from below.

40 Tier 1 Subordinates looked excited, their faces beaming.

Under the command of their respective captains, they were well-organized, bustling back and forth.

People started fires, split wood, gathered spices, and skewered meat, creating a lively scene.Several large bonfires and makeshift barbecue grills were quickly set up.

Unknowingly, a large and a small moon had quietly risen in the pitch-black sky.

Underneath the stars, the bonfires shimmered, casting splendid red glows.

With the lively and heated atmosphere within the territory, the whole scene seemed like a massive bonfire party.

Before long, the sizzling sound of roasted meat started to resonate in front of the Lord’s Mansion.

Drops of hot oil slowly slid down the plump, thick pieces of meat, spreading a mouth-watering burnt fragrance all around.

At this moment, if any other lord saw this scene, they might drown Leo Ray in their drool.

Damn! We are running around madly for survival, and this guy is happily preparing to eat barbecue! Is this really happening in the same world?!

That being said, after a while, once the first few skewers of large meat chunks were done roasting, Gavin Sullivan and the others respectfully presented them to Leo Ray and began to indulge themselves.

Immediately afterward, Leo Ray was astonished to discover that these Tier 1 subordinates were crying while wolfing down their food on the side.

“Boohoo, it’s so delicious! I haven’t eaten meat for several years; is this what eating meat feels like?”

“Oh my God, this is the Greenstone Python meat that only the nobility has the privilege of eating! I didn’t expect to taste such delicious food; I’m so happy…”

“It’s all thanks to the lord’s blessing. Looks like we followed the right person…”

[Congratulations, your Tier 1 Two-star Hunter subordinate, Gavin Sullivan, deepened his admiration for you, raising his loyalty by 10 points, currently at 80 points.]

[Congratulations, your Tier 1 Two-star Hunter subordinate, George Duval, deepened his admiration for you, raising his loyalty by 10 points, currently 80 points.]

[Congratulations, your Tier 1 Two-star Farmer subordinate, Magnolia Lee, deepened her admiration for you, raising her loyalty by 10 points, currently 80 points.]

[Congratulations, your subordinate…]

…

Noticing the loyalty of 40 people had unanimously risen by 10 points again, Leo Ray turned his gaze toward Taylor.

He saw Taylor sitting not far away, eating half-cooked roasted meat by himself, with his loyalty still at an indifferent 50 points, showing no change.

It seemed that pleasing such a high-level expert was not an easy task.

Under the firelight, looking at Taylor’s increasingly resolute and chiseled face, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a somewhat curious expression.

“This guy… definitely has a story behind him…”

With this thought, Leo Ray seemed to have realized something and called Taylor over with a wave.

“What can I do for you, Lord?”

Taylor walked over quickly, bowed, and asked.

“In informal settings, there’s no need to be so formal between us, just treat me as a brother.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray gestured for Taylor to relax and led him to the storage space.

“Taylor, I have a weapon here. Take a look and see if it suits you.”

As he spoke, Leo Ray used his mind, and the Tier 5 Dragon Slash Sword instantly appeared before them.

Because the sword was so heavy, the two-handed greatsword, upon appearing, plunged its tip into the ground.

Under the moonlight, the blood-red color on the sword seemed even more intense.

Occasionally, a cold glint would flash across the blade, causing an intense sting in one’s eyes, evidently indicating that this weapon was anything but ordinary.

“This is… the Dragon Slash Sword?!”

On the other hand, Taylor gazed in disbelief at the massive blade before him, his usually calm face displaying shock for the first time.
