Chapter 18: Fortune Would Come Sooner Or Later

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At dusk, on the vast golden grassland, a few majestic male lions almost merged with the color of the background.

A Golden War lion and a level five elite bison were fighting each other.

The lion fought and retreated, pretending to be seriously injured.

The bison, blinded by anger, rushed over with its eyes red.

Unfortunately, it fell right into the trap. The withered grass was pushed aside by the strong wind, and a few battle lions that were lying in ambush swarmed over. The elite bison was instantly immobilized, and after struggling for a while, it was killed.

The beautiful Lord of Star City, Annie, walked forward.

[ Disintegrate! ]

A white light flashed, and the Bison’s corpse disappeared into thin air as if it had never appeared before..

[ Level 5 beef, 3 units obtained ]

[ Cow bones, 1 unit obtained ]

[ Cowhide, 1 unit obtained ]

[ Demon Crystal, 1 obtained ]

“How lucky!”

With the appearance of the rare loot, Annie’s expression changed.

“It’s time to upgrade the military structure!”

Thinking up to this point, Annie could not help but frown. She did not know what level Joey was at now.

The fact that he was able to store a large number of loots meant that he had at least level 2 barracks.

Unfortunately, until now, she had not seen any equipment that was suitable for a War Lion.

The equipment that Joey sold could only be equipped by human-shaped units such as rats people and humans.

Even if she wanted to buy, she could only buy one for herself.

However, the arrogant Annie did not intend to put on the worn-out rubbish equipment that was taken from the corpse.

One day, she would definitely surpass Joey.

“Just wait, I will personally pay you a visit in some gorgeous armor.”

Annie secretly swore that no one would ever look down on her again.

She wanted to conquer the world and trample Joey and all the other Lords under her feet.

The Golden War Lion was an existence with special aptitude and a comprehensive evaluation that had reached special-grade.

She was a phoenix feather and a unicorn horn in the infinite continent. She was worthy of being called a goddess.

Gradually, night fell.

The wild beasts began to go berserk and their strength tripled. Most of the Lords could only withdraw their troops and hide in the castle with their soldiers, shivering.

Joey was the only exception.

The demons under him increased their strength at night. In addition, the demons had always revered strength and fresh blood. They were also unwilling to “get off work” and would continue to hunt at night.

The benefits at night were even greater. Just based on this point alone, Joey felt that no Lord could surpass him.

Lying on the balcony and looking at the stars, Joey only had Little Strong by his side. Everyone else had gone out to hunt.

They took turns to protect Joey and the castle.

The late-night chat channel was still hot. After all, they did not have any other entertainment methods.

[ No one should dare to go out and fight monsters at night now, right? ]

“Why not? Am I not one?”

Joey secretly ridiculed. He could not be bothered to talk on the channel. His words were probably filled with all sorts of compliments, envy, jealousy, and hatred. There was no meaning to it.

[ Thinking of squeezing the last bit of strength from of their subordinates at night and making the best use of the time to provoke the berserk monsters at night, those people should have already died! ]

[ Stop saying anymore, I am one of them. On the first night, I sent my troops out, but in the end, I suffered heavy losses. All my soldiers were killed. Fortunately, the wild monsters didn’t follow me in. Sigh, I wanted to develop more, but it had become a delay to my development! ]

[ My elite summoners are gone just like that. I regret it so much! ]

[ Indeed, it is almost impossible to train at night. I can only consider it when I level up in the future! ]

After looking at it for a long time, it was just some casual chat. There was no important information.

However, it was also a matter of life and death. Who would be willing to directly share it with others? At most, they would just privately chat with a few good friends.

Suddenly thinking of the equipment, he decided to advertise it on a whim, so Joey sent his first public chat message.

[ A large number of standard equipment is about to be released, made by professional dwarven blacksmiths. The quantity is limited, please prepare the corresponding resources in advance! ]

[ The Beast Tide is coming, be prepared, be careful not to lose everything! ]

[ … ]

..

As soon as Joey’s message appeared, the entire chat channel suddenly fell silent.

Then, in an instant, the storm-like messages almost turned the chat channel into a few long speed lines.

After a while, the refresh of the messages finally slowed down.

[ It’s really the elusive god Joey!! ]

[ Selling food, selling building materials, selling loots, and now directly starting to sell the equipment produced? ]

[ How high has boss Joey’s territory developed to? ! ]

[ Tomorrow morning, I’ll go hunt monsters to gather resources! I must buy the boss’s equipment! ]

[ He’s actually starting to forge his own equipment… how terrifying! ]

[ By the way, how can I forge my own equipment? Can someone tell me? ]

[ You have to have building blueprints, technical troops, and the corresponding materials to forge equipment. Moreover, you can only forge normal white equipment. Higher-level and rarer equipment requires additional equipment blueprints to forge! ]

[ Even if Joey can only forge white equipment, that’s still quite impressive! ]

[ Forget about forging equipment, I’ve never even looted an equipment before, boohoo! ]

[ Buy, buy, buy, I’ll definitely support you then! ]

It seemed that the effect of the advertisement was very good. At this time, no one was calling Joey a profiteer. The continuous large amount of business had made him the most famous merchant in the trading space.

According to the prediction, Liz should be able to forge about 3,000 units of equipment before the Beast Tide arrived.

This amount was estimated to only be enough to equip about 300 Lords.

Even if it was sold at a high price, it was completely possible.

There was no need to worry that no one would buy it.

The warehouse of his castle was filled with all kinds of materials. Joey believed that at this time, no other city Lord could compare to his accumulation of resources.

When all of his equipment was used up, he would definitely be the first and richest among the infinite lords.

Moreover, he would soon be able to level up to a level 4 main city, a basic town.

When that time came, the town would be able to accommodate even more buildings. Perhaps, those rat slaves would also have a place to work.

He could also directly process a large amount of materials to increase his production capacity.

After thinking for a long time, he was filled with hope for a better future. Joey went to ask Liz again.

“There shouldn’t be any unexpected problems, right, Liz?”

Liz said, “Boss, don’t worry. When the time comes, we’ll be able to prepare at least 3,000 units of equipment.”

Liz said, “I still feel that we don’t need to put them on the shelves in batches. We’ll try to put them all on the shelves at the last moment. We’ll definitely earn more!”

Joey: “Liz, You’re so smart. We’ll do as you say!”

He didn’t expect this little Lolly to be so scheming. She even thought of profiting under crisis.

Joey: “Oh right, remember to keep a batch of equipment for yourself just in case. Don’t accidentally sell them all!”

Liz: “Thank you for your great concern (happy)! I’ll take note of it!”
