《Shocking! Start With a Piece of Land, Crits Bring Miracles》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After dinner, Luo Yu walked alone on the gravel road in the small park as he recalled his girlfriend¡¯s determined expression when she left. His girlfriend had gone crazy chasing after celebrities and did not even want her boyfriend. It was quite ridiculous that she only want her idol. Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes and a golden bead rolled to his feet. ¡°Eh?¡± Luo Yu picked up the bead curiously. Just as he was about to take a closer look, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky. He felt his vision turn black and then brighten up again. When he came to his senses, he already appeared in an unfamiliar environment. What greeted his eyes was a grassland that was not considered vast. A small lake was embedded in the grassland like a pearl. The surrounding mountains that reached into the clouds formed a circle and completely surrounded this place. ¡°This is¡­¡± Luo Yu did not show much panic because of his calm personality. Just as he was about to observe carefully, a gentle voice sounded in the sky. ¡°Greetings, everyone, I am the Heavenly Axiom. Welcome to the new world I created.¡± ¡°As for everything here, as long as you open the system in your hearts, you will know.¡± ¡°Have a nice life.¡± As this voice fell, his intuition told him that this was not an act, let alone a movie. He was afraid that he had transmigrated! ¡°Turn on the system.¡± He chanted in his heart, and a virtual projection of Future Wind appeared in front of him. The first page that popped up was the world description. After spending half an hour reading the instructions word for word, Luo Yu basically knew what was going on. Everyone in the myriad worlds had been given a survival base. Everything could be presented in data. All they had to do was survive and become stronger. Suddenly, a notification appeared in the lower right corner of his retina: [Detected that you have a Primordial Stone. Exchanging it for skills for you.] ¡°A Primordial Stone?¡± Luo Yu instinctively looked at the golden bead in his hand. However, in the next moment, the bead actually fused into his body. [Congratulations on obtaining a unique skill: Primordial Critical Strike] [Absolute Beginning Critical Strike: Your next action will increase your efficiency by 100 times.] [Cooldown: 1 natural day] [Rewarded initial critical hit: 3 times. Current number: 4 times] ¡°Such an awesome name? And it¡¯s a unique skill!¡± Luo Yu was overjoyed. He knew that he was lucky! After taking a look, he realized that not only could it be a critical hit when attacking, but it could also be a critical hit when making furniture, opening treasure chests, mining, logging, fishing, and so on! It might be a critical hit on the quality or a critical hit on the quantity. This depended on luck. However, there were also restrictions. It was best not to explode when eating, as it might cause one¡¯s body to explode. Construction could not be critically hit either. If it became too destructive, it would destroy the air wall of the territory! Calming himself down, he looked at the place not far from his feet. There were many tools lying there, as well as some bagged plant seeds. These were his starting resources. Luo Yu was the only one on the entire grassland. It seemed that his initial comprehensive strength assessment was not bad, as it was a solo start. Many weaker people appeared on the same plain to prevent themselves from dying. There were benefits to starting alone. One of them was that the resources he gathered would all be his. If he opened more, it could be good or bad. In essence, it was very fair. He opened the interface and a string of data appeared. Trial Tester: Luo Yu Number: Earth, Xia Country 23333 Base Score: 0 (The initial score is 0. It will be calculated at the end of every month. The higher the score, the more Heavenly Axiom rewards you can obtain and the stronger the attack.) Strength: 13 (Earth male average: 10, cosmic average: 17) Physique: 14 (Earth male average: 10, cosmic average: 18) Strength: 13 (Earth male average: 10, cosmic average: 17) ¡­ Luo Yu knew that Base Score could be said to be the core of his survival and his goal of becoming stronger, but at this stage, survival was the most important. He controlled the virtual interface to open the world channel and found that it was completely chaotic. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s going on? My f*cking mind is in a mess!¡± ¡°I want to go home.¡± ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. This is the legendary change of the great era. We are lucky!¡± ¡°Elf! There¡¯s actually an elf girl in my base. She¡¯s so beautiful. I¡¯ve made a killing!¡± ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m from Planet Mick. Where are you cosmic friends from?¡± ¡°I am from Heaven Orc Planet. Orcs will never be slaves!¡± There was a limit to speaking in the world channel. Even though it was already limited to once a day, it was already a complete mess. He opened the system¡¯s trading mall, virtual battle platform, regional map, and other functions. After completely familiarizing himself with them, he knew that time was precious and immediately made a plan. In the morning, he would plant crops. After that, he would build a temporary wooden house in the afternoon. The ripening period of the crops here was different from on Earth. They would ripen very quickly, and the earlier they were planted, the earlier they would be harvested. Because he had worked on a vegetable field in the army, his planting skill was evaluated as Level 1. His planting efficiency would be faster than ordinary people at Level 0. In just a moment, he had reclaimed a rectangular vegetable field. ¡®Why a rectangle?¡¯ It was convenient for sowing and watering. Just as he was about to plant the corn seeds, he suddenly thought of something. Didn¡¯t he have three critical hits? Why not give it a try? As he muttered in his heart, a notification appeared in the information bar below his retina: [Your next action will definitely be a critical hit. Efficiency increased by 10,000%.] Luo Yu carefully planted the seed of a medicinal herb. Medicinal Herb Seed: [A medicinal herb that can grow to treat external injuries has an extremely low chance of mutation. Growth period: 30 days.] A miracle happened. The seed that was planted grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, it turned into the shape of a ginseng that was the size of a palm. Ginseng: [Nourishes the qi and blood, prolongs life. After consuming it, permanent strength +2, physique +2, lifespan +2 years.] Good lord, this critical hit had turned a medicinal herb into ginseng! Luo Yu ate the ginseng on the spot and immediately felt his entire body relax. He felt he had endless strength! Looking at the interface again: Strength: 15 Constitution: 16 Agility: 13. He¡¯s stronger! Taking advantage of this momentum, Luo Yu directly plowed three vegetable fields and planted corn, rice, and medicinal herbs. He looked at the world channel and the regional channel again. It had been half a day, but many people still did not know what was going on. There were people crying, clamoring to go home, cursing at the heavens, and so on. It was simply a waste of precious time for early development. The next step was to build a wooden house. After Luo Yu¡¯s gaze swept across the entire scene, he grabbed a saw and walked towards a small forest in the distance. The forest was close to the mountain range, so he did not dare to go too deep. He only cut the trees outside the forest. [Wood+1] [Wood+1] [Wood+1] ¡­ After eating the nourishing ginseng, Luo Yu was full of energy. He vented all his energy on the tree. In three hours, he cut down 80 units of wood, and he only needed 30 units to build a simple wooden house. If this was any other time, wouldn¡¯t it take two days? Opening the construction page of the virtual screen, Luo Yu clicked on the option of the wooden house. The projection of the wooden house appeared in front of him. This was the place for him to choose. The settlement was naturally near the vegetable field. It was considered the center of the grassland, and there was a small lake further north. [Building a wooden house consumes 30 wood and 10 silver. Confirm?] Silver was the universal currency of the Heavenly Dao World. Each person had an initial amount of 100 silver, which could be used to buy all kinds of things, or as a resource for construction as it required a certain amount of silver. After clicking confirm, a light flashed in front of his eyes and a small wooden house appeared.

Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He walked in and saw nothing. There were only four walls. There was still a lot of wood left, so Luo Yu spent another 10 pieces of wood to make a simple wooden bed, a wooden table, and a wooden chair. He then moved all the tools in and put them away one by one. At a glance, it looked like home. Looking at the time, it was 4:30 PM. After doing so much work, the energy from the ginseng had been exhausted. He was now hungry. There were definitely fish in the lake and fishing rods were present. According to the instructions, not only could one catch fish, but they could also fish up all kinds of resources. However, there was a red dot in the middle of the lake. The red dot on the map meant that there was a fixed enemy unit. It might be a primitive cannibal tribe or some ferocious beast. There was definitely a fish monster in the lake. If one did not kill it, no one would be able to fish. Unless you wanted to try your luck and see if you could catch a fish first or be eaten by a monster first. Luo Yu had seen berries on this small plain just now. If he was not wrong, these berries were already ripe and would rot if they were not picked. After deciding, he picked up a basket and set off. He quickly walked to a shrub and picked it. This berry was about the size of a strawberry. Because the planting skill was LV1, the berries picked would be in good condition and yield would be slightly higher than LV0, so it would not be wasted. Working in the army¡¯s vegetable fields had honed some skills. There were three berries in the first shrub. He took one and wiped it on his work clothes that symbolized his identity as an Earthling before eating it. ¡°Delicious!¡± Joy appeared in his eyes. He ate two more berries in a row, and the hunger in his stomach subsided a little. Suddenly, he thought of something. If the Primordial Critical Hit was used to pick fruits, would he pluck a hundred at once? Or would he get some rare items like before? At the thought of this, he looked at another berry bush in the distance. Without any hesitation, he quickly walked over and muttered in his heart before plucking the fruit. [Hundredfold Critical Strike activated. The probability of producing rare fruits has increased by 10,000%.] Looking at the fruit in his hand, he realized that it was not a berry, but a big red fruit the size of a fist. [Vermillion Dragon Fruit: After consumption, permanent strength +5, agility +2, satiety maintained at 100% for three days and resistant to mosquitoes and diseases.] [Ding! You have picked a heavenly treasure and obtained planting experience. Planting level has increased from LV1 to LV2.] ¡°Good God!¡± Overjoyed, he ate the fruit on the spot and licked his lips. As expected, power surged out of his body and the interface had changed. Strength: 20 Physique: 16 Agility: 15 In just one day, he had successfully reached the level of the average person in the universe. A few more would be at the level of the developed races in the universe. Although he was very full at this moment, the berries on the grassland would rot if he did not pick them. As his planting skills had improved, it only took him two hours to collect all the berries on the plain. There were exactly 100 in the basket. At this moment, the sky had already darkened. Luo Yu, who had been working for the entire day, used a wooden bucket to draw water from a small stream in the small lake and prepared to go to bed to chat. Just as he lay on the wooden board, an alarm suddenly sounded. [Alert: There is a pack of wild wolves coming down the mountain to hunt for food in Area 9527. They will split up and might randomly attack the survival bases. Please be prepared.] Luo Yu was shocked. On the regional chat interface that he had just opened, someone immediately exclaimed. Niu Da (Tauren Planet): ¡°What¡¯s going on?! It¡¯s only the first day and there¡¯s already an attack!¡± Alice (Elves): ¡°May the great goddess protect every living being from the attack.¡± Na Ke¡¯er (Catwoman): ¡°Meow, what should I do? The wolves are here. Don¡¯t eat me¡­¡± Fang Yumeng (Earth¡¯s human): ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. Those who have houses, hide in them. Otherwise, climb up a tree. Don¡¯t get injured! There are no herbs for your injuries!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The chat in the area had already exploded. At this moment, the difference between having a house and not having a house was obvious. Someone who was calm and composed and developed quickly might already have a wooden house. Even if a wild wolf came, it would not be able to enter the house. However, if the people who were panicking and resenting the heavens were attacked¡­ It seemed like someone would be eliminated on the first night. The price to leave the game was death! ¡°Argh¡­¡± The howl of a wolf came from afar, and Luo Yu almost jumped up from the bed! Damn it, the wolves were really here! He quietly pushed open the window and saw two wild wolves shaking their heads as they walked over from afar. Each of them was the size of a calf. They sniffed here and there and quickly focused their gaze on the small wooden house where Luo Yu was. Green Wolf: [Wildness 80%, active attack type] Luo Yu (Earth¡¯s Human): ¡°I¡¯ve got wolves here too.¡± After sending a simple message, he left the chat room. ¡°Good luck.¡± ¡°Good luck.¡± ¡­ A moment later, Luo Yu realized that the wild wolves seemed to be unable to do anything to him in the wooden house. However, what angered him was that they had actually begun to destroy the fields! Even if these wolves did not eat humans, they would still destroy the survival base! They could either destroy them or wait for them to leave on their own. It was impossible for them to live in peace! Luo Yu frowned slightly. It was fine if the fields were destroyed, but nothing could happen to the seeds. After all, there were only a few seeds! He rushed out with a wooden stick in each hand! ¡°Argh!¡± A wild wolf pounced on him on the spot. Luo Yu only shifted to the side, nimbly dodging the pounce. His agility had finally increased. He was no longer the same as before! Seeing that the other wild wolf had also pounced on him, Luo Yu directly hit it with his stick. The old man said that wild wolves had iron heads and a soft waist, so this time, he used a critical hit! [Hundredfold Critical Strike triggered. The power of your next attack has increased by 100 times.] THUD! With a muffled sound, the wooden stick hit the wolf¡¯s head firmly. The wolf¡¯s head that was like iron exploded into a cloud of blood mist and it died on the spot. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± Luo Yu was also shocked. He looked at the other wild wolf, which seemed to be dumbfounded. Without any hesitation, Luo Yu quickly stepped forward and kicked the wild wolf¡¯s waist, causing it to fall to the ground. Then, he stepped on the wolf¡¯s head and was about to kill it when he suddenly had a thought. Wasn¡¯t there another critical hit? He could try to tame wild wolves! He stomped on the wolf¡¯s head and shouted, ¡°Be tamed by me or die!¡± [Ding! Hundredfold Critical Strike activated: The success rate of your beast taming has increased by 100 times.] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The green wolf trembled violently. After its entire body flickered with light, it completely submitted. [Taming successful. Your Taming level has increased to LV2.] [Green Wolf (Male, 3 Years Old): Strength 9, Constitution 12, Agility 14] After taming it, he could see the specific ability value. Luo Yu let go of his foot, and the green wolf immediately got up and rubbed against his calf affectionately. Tamed animals could help their owner fight, carry, patrol, and guard fields. The last point was because there were some small animals and birds that would steal crops on this plain. Luo Yu patted the head of the green wolf and named it Dumby. Then, he looked at the other wolf corpse. There was no knife in the wooden house. Luo Yu thought of the pickaxe he used to mine and wondered why he did not use it to kill the wolf just now. By a small stream in the tributary of the small lake, he began to dismember the wolf corpse and threw it into the stream with various internal organs, attracting a school of fish. Many fish swarmed over and began to eat the internal organs. The small ones were only the size of a finger, and the big ones weighed around two to three catties. Seeing this, Luo Yu was overjoyed, but he knew that even if he caught fish now, there was no place to raise them. So, he just moved some rocks and blocked the two ends of the stream. The water level between the two ends rose rapidly, making it look like a small fish pond. Although he did not dare to say that he could trap all the fish, he would definitely be able to trap a lot of them. After cooking the meat from the green wolf, Luo Yu built a fire with a matchstick not far from the wooden house and prepared to roast and marinate the wolf meat for a long time. Now that the attack alarm had ended, the area chat became active again. Alice (Elves): ¡°Is everyone alright?¡± Na Ke¡¯er (Cat Lady Race): ¡°Phew¡­ Fortunately, I know how to climb trees, so they can¡¯t catch me, but they ate the fruits I picked¡­¡± Fang Yumeng (Earthling): ¡°Is Luo Yu still alive?¡± Luo Yu smiled faintly and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ve already dealt with it.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Deal with it? Forget it, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. There must be something to trade after the attack. Let¡¯s not chat anymore. I¡¯ll go to the trading platform to take a look.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°I¡¯ll go too!¡± Alice said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll take a look too. Luo Yu, I¡¯ll help you get well.¡± A bull-headed man said, ¡°Three beauties¡­ Why didn¡¯t any of you ask if I was alright?¡± Luo Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he opened the trading platform. Needless to say, it was really lively now. There were all kinds of things to sell. Crop seeds, wooden swords, knives, shovels, fishing nets, and so on. All of them were not priced high, but no one had money. However, no one sold food. In a situation like this, food was too precious. After some thought, Luo Yu decided to sell the berries he picked. After all, he did not need to eat for three days, and the expiration date of the berries was only three days, so it would be a waste not to sell them. The rarer something was, the more precious it was. Luo Yu very black-heartedly priced each berry at 25 silver. After waiting for a while, no one showed any interest. He simply spoke on the world channel, XX (Hidden): ¡°Damn, someone is selling berries on the trading platform. Hurry up and snatch them!¡± At the same time, countless people clicked on the trading platform. It was only the first day, and in fact, many people were still unclear about the concept of silver. Moreover, everyone was hungry. Not everyone could live happily on their first day like Luo Yu. In a second, 100 berries were snatched away, and Luo Yu¡¯s account had an additional 2,500 silver. ¡°Am I selling it too cheaply?¡± Luo Yu laughed and prepared to sell some more wolf meat, but it had yet to be roasted. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. All kinds of centipedes, cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes had retreated from where he was sitting. That¡¯s right, the Vermillion Dragon Fruit. He now had the ability to block insects for three days. After Luo Yu discovered it, he became curious and began to roll on the lawn. Wherever he rolled, the insects fled in a hurry. Bugs were also food. Their calories were higher than beef, and their crispiness added to their chicken-like taste. It was a rare opportunity, so he simply decided to use a sharp branch to stab some incests like the centipedes. He planned to collect some dark cuisine like roasted centipedes and stewed spiders. Even if he did not eat them, he could sell them on the platform! There were so many races in the myriad worlds, so there should be people like the chicken race who liked to eat insects, right? He rolled on the grass all the way and caught forty to fifty insects like centipedes. He was very efficient and was just happy when a notification suddenly appeared. [Obtained Personal Characteristics: Zerg Nemesis (1 star)] [Zerg Nemesis (1-Star): Deals an additional 10% damage to all Zergs and is immune to 10% of all Zergs¡¯ attacks. Permanent Agility +2] ¡°Eh? There¡¯s a personal characteristic?¡± Luo Yu knew that it was very difficult to obtain personal characteristics. Only by chance could one obtain these special abilities. One star was the lowest, and five stars were the highest. In that case, let¡¯s roll again, right? After putting up a portion of wolf meat, Luo Yu rolled around on the grass. Just as he had guessed, it could indeed be upgraded. A few hours later, it directly upgraded the Zerg Nemesis characteristic to five stars. [Zerg Nemesis (5-Star): Deals an additional 50% damage to all Zergs and is immune to 50% of all Zerg attacks. Permanent Agility +10, Constitution +10] He looked at the interface: Strength: 20 Physique: 26 Agility: 27 Good lord, in just a day, he had already reached the level of a slightly well-off person in the universe! At the moment when he had just raised it to five stars, Luo Yu could not hold on anymore. No matter how high his physique was, he would still feel dizzy. He returned to the wooden house and wrapped the wolf skin on his body before going to sleep. The next morning, the warm sunlight shone on the grassland. The birds chirped. Luo Yu slowly woke up and felt refreshed. His physique was high, so his recovery speed was fast. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to recover after a night. The world channel and the regional channel were filled with good mornings. It was peaceful, but Luo Yu knew that under this peace, many people must have died from yesterday¡¯s attack. He washed his face by the stream and patted Dumby¡¯s head. He looked at the system message. As expected, the ten portions of wolf meat that were on sale yesterday were all sold out. A portion was sold at an astronomical price of 80 silver. Currently, he had 3,400 silver in his account. As expected, the number of critical hits had also reset. There would be another critical hit opportunity. For the time being, he had enough food and planted enough seeds. Next, he needed to expand his survival base. First, he had to build a wall. The wooden wall was too fragile. A stone wall was more secure. The wall could be built by the system, but raw materials like stone bricks had to be made by oneself, which required a stone cutter. A stone cutter could both be used to cut stone and as a melee weapon. Luo Yu fancifully wondered if buying something could also trigger a critical hit. He did as he thought. After chanting in his heart, he chose to spent a 100 silver for a stone cutter in the system store. On day two, he had the money to buy such things. Luo Yu believed that he should be ahead of most people. [Ding! When you purchased a stone cutter, you gained a Hundredfold Critical Hit. You have obtained a prop worth 10,000 silver: Heavenly Crafting Saber.] [Heavenly Crafting Saber: Sharp and heavy, a sharp weapon for close combat. It can also be used as a tool to slightly increase the efficiency of cutting, digging, and other activities.] With a flash of light, a black long saber appeared in front of him. Luo Yu grabbed it excitedly. It was quite heavy in his hand, but because his strength had increased greatly, this weight was just right. ¡°You can trigger a critical hit when you buy things!¡± ¡°Wonderful!¡± He walked in front of a limestone and slashed out with his saber. The seemingly incomparably hard limestone was split into two on the spot. ¡°Splitting a stone with a single slash. If this was in ancient times, it would be considered a divine weapon!¡± Luo Yu was overjoyed. Using this thing to cut rocks was a piece of cake! There was nothing else to say. Get to work! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Because Luo Yu¡¯s strength far exceeded the standard and his stamina was strong, coupled with the help of the Heavenly Crafting Saber, the speed at which he cut stones was considered fast. In less than half an hour, a thousand rectangular stone bricks had been cut out. He did not expect himself to be so capable. He looked at the chat area and saw that it was very lively. ¡°How was last night? Is everyone alive?¡± ¡°F*ck mosquitoes! I¡¯ve lost at least half a kilogram of blood!¡± ¡°I¡¯m hungry, I¡¯m so hungry¡­¡± Na Keer (Catwoman): ¡°Luo Yu, what are you doing? Are you driving solo?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Yes.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Meow, for a human to be able to do it alone, it¡¯s quite powerful.¡± ¡°By the way, how did you deal with the wild wolves yesterday?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I killed him with a stick.¡± ¡°?¡± A large number of question marks appeared in the chat. Fang Yumeng: ¡°Hiss! Is that true? A Combat Grandmaster is so terrifying!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Eh, are you covered in muscles? Can you take a screenshot and send me a portrait?¡± The bull-headed man said, ¡°I¡¯m full of muscles, little cutie. I¡¯ll send it to you!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Meow, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t like Taurens!¡± Alice: ¡°Don¡¯t talk about strange topics in the regional channel!¡± Luo Yu asked, ¡°Have you eaten this morning? I caught some centipedes. Do you want to eat them?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Keep it for yourself and eat it slowly¡­¡± As Luo Yu cut some stones, he chatted with these guys and quickly became familiar with them. Suddenly, a related world dynamic notification caught his attention. [Zerg 4444 has set up an arena in the virtual arena against Earthlings. Winning and losing bet: 2,000 Silver] ¡°Hmm? Zerg?¡± Luo Yu clicked into the virtual arena and found that the chat box on the interface where the arena was had exploded. Earthlings were crazily scolding the Zergs, and the Zergs were also scolding the Earthlings. Both sides were exchanging words. Luo Yu looked at the battle situation and saw that the Earthlings still had the upper hand. The combat power of human trolls should be far above the average level in the universe. However, no one dared to enter the room to accept the challenge. The arena had already started yesterday, and some belligerent people had probably fought it out. The physical fitness of the humans on Earth was indeed inferior to most races, and they had been labeled as soft persimmons in just a day. As a result, someone immediately set up an arena to earn money from Earthlings. ¡°Earthlings are cowards. What¡¯s the use of scolding? Attack!¡± ¡°Trash, Earthlings are worse than bugs!¡± The filthy words continued. Many hot-blooded men on Earth could not hold it in anymore, but even if they were willing to fight, they had to pay 2,000 silver first. If you won, you would take 4,000 yuan. If you lost, 2,000 yuan would belong to the winner. Not only would the winner get the bet, but the audience would also have to pay 10 units of silver if they wanted to watch. This money would also enter the pockets of the winner. It could be said that the arena was a good place to earn money when strength allowed. Luo Yu was a little displeased. A group of insects actually rode on us humans. Coincidentally, he had money. Just as he was about to do it, someone could not hold it in anymore. [Humans on Earth XX (Hidden) paid silver and entered the arena.] At this moment, how could everyone care about money? They all paid 10 silver to enter the arena to watch the battle, and Luo Yu also paid to watch the battle. After clicking on it, a virtual screen appeared in front of Luo Yu. On the screen was an empty room about 500 square meters. At this moment, two people were standing in the room and confronting each other. The arrogant Zergling was a ferocious-looking monster man with a pointed head. The Zergling¡¯s arms were like the scythes of a mantis, and he had a pair of thin wings on his back. It was obvious that he was a mantis-type insectoid. There was also a man on the human side, but this person had hidden his number and appearance. Only his strong figure could be seen, but his face could not be seen. Of course, the two sides did not enter the arena physically, but were projected into virtual characters. The attributes of this character were exactly the same as in reality, including characteristics, props, and so on. Although it was a virtual battle, the strength was almost the same as fighting in reality. It was nothing more than fighting to the death inside, and the physical bodies outside would not be injured. Of course, mental trauma was an exception¡­ ¡°3¡± ¡°2¡± ¡°1¡± ¡°Begin!¡± When the countdown ended, the mantis insectoid flapped his wings and pounced over at an extremely fast speed! The human man let out a scream, but he reacted and rolled. The bamboo spear in his hand immediately counterattacked! Crack! The mantis¡¯s scythe directly cut the spear in half. Then, it swept across and cut the man in half! [K.O!] [Zerg 4,444 wins. Time taken: 2.3 seconds] The bullet screen began to flood crazily. The Zergs mocked the humans mercilessly. Originally, they had compared the humans to bugs, but now, they were like maggots. Zerg 4444 was even more arrogant. He laughed and said, ¡°Come on, it¡¯s still 2,000 silver. Do Earthlings still dare to come?¡± ¡°I can kill even a hundred low-level creatures like the humans on Earth!¡± ¡°All human males are trash. Females are not even qualified to lay eggs for us!¡± The humans watching the battle gritted their teeth. No one felt good about being insulted like this, but it was obvious that they really could not win¡­ Just as many humans watching the battle felt extremely aggrieved, another notification sounded. [Human on Earth XX (Hidden), paid 2,000 silver and entered the battle room.] A light flashed in the battle room, and a man appeared. He also hid his serial number and face. This man¡¯s figure was not as muscular as the burly man¡¯s, but he looked firm and powerful. The black long saber in his hand also made one¡¯s heart palpitate. Needless to say, this person was naturally Luo Yu. ¡°Insects are only worthy of looking up to us humans.¡± Luo Yu¡¯s cold voice echoed in the battle room, making one¡¯s heart palpitate. ¡°What did you say?!¡± The mantis insectoid roared, and all kinds of insectoid cursed out loud. This time, the humans were a little weak. ¡°Brother, everyone knows that your blood is boiling, but don¡¯t spend money recklessly. A wise man doesn¡¯t fight when the odds are against him.¡± Even the humans did not think highly of Luo Yu¡¯s chances. ¡°3¡± ¡°2¡­¡± The countdown began, and the mantis insectoid laughed strangely. ¡°I will slowly cut you apart. Earthlings will always be prey for us insectoids.¡± ¡°1!¡± At the moment the countdown ended, the mantis insectoid flapped his wings and rushed up. This time, he used his full strength, and his speed was even faster than before! Mantises were known for their agility. This pounce required at least 20 points of agility. It was no longer something humans could withstand! [The Zerg Nemesis characteristic has been activated. Attack and defense increased by 50%.] Just as everyone thought that it would be another instant kill, Luo Yu¡¯s figure suddenly exploded. The speed he erupted with seemed to be faster than a mantis flapping its wings! ¡°What high agility!¡± This thought popped up in the minds of everyone watching the battle. In the next moment, the long saber in Luo Yu¡¯s hand collided violently with the sharp forelimbs of the mantis insectoid.

Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Pfft!¡± The Heavenly Crafting Saber swept out fiercely, directly cutting off the mantis¡¯s lightning-fast forelimbs. Then, with irresistible force, it slashed at the mantis with a whoosh. The saber cut the mantis in half with irresistible force! [K.O!] [Earthling XX wins. Time taken: 1.6 seconds.] Instant kill! However, the difference was that the target of this insta-kill was the mantis insectoid! ¡°Hiss!¡± The people watching the battle gasped, and then the humans cheered. ¡°Invincible! Who is this? Invincible!¡± ¡°F*ck! A martial arts expert! He must be a martial arts expert!¡± ¡°Ya! Brother is so awesome. I want your name, photo, and number!¡± ¡°Insects can look up from the bottom of our shoes. So handsome! So handsome!¡± ¡°Where are the bugs that were clamoring just now? Come on, continue to clamor!¡± The entire chat room was flooded with humans. They were either worshipping Luo Yu or mocking the Zergs. This time, Luo Yu gave many people hope. Humans could also be so powerful! [You have defeated your opponent. In order to facilitate your next entry into the virtual arena, you can leave a code name.] ¡°Code name?¡± ¡°Then there¡¯s only one word: Yu.¡± Immediately, Luo Yu¡¯s name in the arena changed from Earthling XX to Yu. ¡°Yu! It¡¯s a Chinese name!¡± ¡°Brother Yu, you are the hero in my heart.¡± ¡°Brother Yu, which area are you from?¡± ¡°Good, very good. Yu, right? We will go and call for help now. If you have the guts, don¡¯t leave.¡± Ignoring the various comments in the chat room, Luo Yu directly took the money and left. Looking at his personal account, the amount of silver had reached 6,800. Originally, even if he won 2,000, it would only amount to 5,300. The rest was the admission fee for the audience. It was a huge profit. ¡°Let me see what I can buy.¡± He opened the mall and browsed through it. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly realized that there was a small notification that had been ignored previously. This notification was received because he had received a critical hit when he bought things in the mall previously. It stated that before the end of the month, he would not be able to receive another critical hit in the mall! Now, there would be a limit to the number of critical hits in the mall. It was unfortunate since Luo Yu was still thinking about exploiting it! ¡°Eh? Wait a minute, this notification¡­¡± Luo Yu opened the map by chance and found a row of small red words on the top right corner of the map: 28 days until the end of the month. He hurriedly clicked on it and his forehead was quickly covered in sweat. Before the end of each month, there would be a hardcore attack. The intensity of the attack would be stronger than ordinary random events, and it would be the greatest threat to the trial-takers! Luo Yu immediately sent a regional chat message. Luo Yu said, ¡°Look at the map. Is there a hint of an attack at the end of the month?¡± Fang Yumeng said, ¡°Really, I¡¯m going to faint. What should we do? My sisters and I have just built a wooden house¡­¡± Alice: ¡°Everyone has to work hard to survive!¡± The group chat exploded, and everyone felt a sense of urgency. As Luo Yu spoke to everyone, he quickly thought in his heart. The construction of the wall had to be accelerated, and the defense facilities of the base had to be put on the agenda! He opened the research interface and saw that many technology had not been unlocked. He carefully looked at the defense-type technology tree. There were traps, shooting towers, watchtowers, and so on. However, Luo Yu¡¯s gaze fell on one of the columns. [Automatic Crossbow: It can be installed on walls, shooting towers, and other places. It can aim at the enemy with automatically loaded bolts.] Automatic! For Luo Yu, who was the only person in the base, this was undoubtedly the best choice. However, there was a problem. If he wanted to unlock the technology tree, there was a prerequisite research option: [Base Automatic Defense Core] The research fund of 5,000 silver might be acceptable, but the materials needed to be prepared by him. Silver 3,000, Jade 200, Gold 200, and a beast soul core. The price was ridiculous! Of course, the automatic defense core device that was made was extremely difficult to damage and could be carried around. Once created, it could be used forever. Originally, Luo Yu had wanted to build a small ranch to increase the success rate of beast taming or till some soil to cultivate and accelerate the growth of plants. Now, it seemed that automatic defense technology was the most important thing! Only by living could one have the capital to develop and grow. Luo Yu engraved these words on the wooden table and also engraved the next development plan, reminding himself at all times. Objective: Create a hard city wall and unlock automatic technology by the end of the month, aiming for the automatic crossbows! Without much hesitation, Luo Yu spent 5,000 silver to unlock the automatic defense core technology. He kept the remaining 1,800 silver for now. Looking at the time, there were still three hours before nightfall. Luo Yu carried the Heavenly Crafting Saber on his back and carried his pickaxe before heading to the mine. The harder the stone bricks used to build the wall, the better. Ordinary stones on the grassland could no longer satisfy Luo Yu¡¯s needs. The mine could produce hard stone raw materials like black spot stones, and there was a certain chance of digging up rare ores like jade, gold, and silver. So of course, he was going to mine now! As for the stones that had been cut, he could make something else with them. The stone bricks were still very useful. The mine was close to the purple mountain range, but it was still relatively safe. Walking into the cave, there were oil lamps on both sides of the rock wall. These were all here from the beginning. They could not be moved, and there was no need to add any oil or tinder. After a while, he reached the end of the mine. In front of him was a rock wall that emitted a weak blue light. Without a word, Luo Yu used a pickaxe to climb up and dig. There was nothing. [Mining failed. Your mining experience has increased.] Because the Mining level was only LV0, it was normal for it to fail. Another pickaxe fell, and this time, an irregular black stone with spots rolled down from the glowing rock wall. It was a black spot stone. The drop rate of such stones was quite high, but the drop rate of rare ores was ridiculously low. BANG! BANG! Under the continuous mining, hard rocks like black spot stones and granite kept rolling out. Because Luo Yu¡¯s basic attributes were high, even if the mining level was insufficient, the efficiency was still very impressive. After a while, a small hill was piled up beside him. [Mining Level increased to Level 1] ¡°I¡¯ve finally leveled up.¡± Luo Yu exhaled and stretched his shoulders, planning to rest. He looked at the pile of stones in front of him and realized that moving them was also a problem. At this moment, he realized that he was not alone. He had a dog. No, a wolf! With a whistle, the green wolf, Dumby, who was patrolling the fields, quickly ran over. In a moment, it rushed into the mine and affectionately rubbed against Luo Yu¡¯s pants. ¡°Dumby, bring twenty pieces of wood over.¡± ¡°Wuwu.¡± The green wolf immediately went over. It was very efficient and quickly transported 20 units of wood over. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Yu opened the construction interface and spent 20 pieces of wood and 10 pieces of silver to build a small cart with reins. ¡°Dumby, carry this pile of stones to the cart. After that, put on the reins and pull them home.¡± ¡°Wuwuwu.¡± Dumby nodded repeatedly, wagged its wolf tail, and immediately began to work. Looking at its cheerful appearance, Luo Yu smiled faintly and got busy. The man and wolf worked for a full four hours. Luo Yu felt a little tired, and after Dumby finished pulling a cart of rocks, it was completely exhausted and lay on the ground without moving. At the end, it was Luo Yu who pulled the cart of rocks. On top of the rocks was Dumby, who arrived home together. After feeding Dumby some meat, he went to the ¡°fish pond¡± to fish and feed it. After eating, Dumby recovered a lot and curled up early to sleep. After all, the value of the green wolf was not high. It was not a traditional ¡°laborer¡± domestic animal. After a busy day, Luo Yu went to the stream to wash up. [Warning: The hygiene standards of the survival base are too poor, so the risk of disease has increased.] The sudden warning surprised Luo Yu. In terms of hygiene, he was still very particular. ¡°Could it be that¡­ I just pooped in the forest and lowered the hygiene standards of the base?¡± He looked at the hygiene value of the base. Currently, it was only a pitiful 18, and 60 was barely passable. If it could reach more than 90 points, then the creatures in the base would basically not be sick. According to the instructions, there were other buffs that would come along with it. In such a situation where there were almost no medicine, falling sick meant that one could only rely on their physique to withstand it. Even if they could withstand it, it would delay a lot of development time. Afte all, there would be an attack at the end of the month! Luo Yu had originally planned to wash up briefly, but when he thought of the risk of falling sick, he decided to take a hot shower. He spent 30 pieces of wood and 20 silver to build a simple bathtub. He also spent 15 silver to buy an iron kettle to boil water. It had to be said that such facilities were very expensive. Fortunately, he had earned a lot of silver previously. Otherwise, he would not have been able to afford them. A moment later, Luo Yu soaked into the bathtub naked and let out a comfortable sigh. At this moment, there was a breeze on the grassland. Looking up at the endless sky, there were countless stars. ¡°How is my little sister doing? You have to work hard and survive.¡± Luo Yu¡¯s parents had passed away when he was very young, so he and his sister, Luo Ling, relied on each other greatly. His sister was 19 years old this year and was a pretty and smart little girl. Thinking of his sister¡¯s personality, Luo Yu felt that she should not be living too badly¡­ Speaking of which, after unlocking higher-level technology, he could find use it to find people. He believed that one day, the siblings would meet again. Retracting his wandering thoughts, Luo Yu lay in the bathtub and opened the chat area. Everyone was talking about the attack at the end of the month and expressed their opinions. At this moment, they could see the different attitudes of each race in the face of threats. Earthlings like Fang Yumeng believed that they should think of a way to unlock the automatic defense core. The female Elf, on the other hand, felt that she should use silver to improve her shooting skills. The Tauren preferred to increase their physical strength, while the Cat Girl felt that she should set up a large number of traps and hide in the dark to wait for an opportunity to act. There were even people who felt that if they could not resist it by themselves, they could try their luck and go to the shop to draw pet eggs. If there were top-grade goods, they would be invincible! There was also one who was the most extreme. That person believed that violence should be countered with violence. He wanted to build a small boat to lure the attackers into the small lake and let the attackers and the monsters in the lake kill each other. Luo Yu naturally had a plan in mind, but he also joined the discussion. As they chatted, everyone started talking about hygiene and disease. On this point, everyone agreed that they should build a toilet first. Thinking of this, Luo Yu nodded to himself and made up his mind to raise the priority of the toilet first. He also wanted to create a perfect sewage treatment system and raise the hygiene score first. Fang Yumeng: ¡°By the way, Brother Yu is awesome in the world chat today. Luo Yu, are they talking about you?¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Eh? Did Xiao Yu defeat that Zerg? The agility of a Zerg Mantis is not inferior to our Cat Clan!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I have killed many mantis, centipedes, scorpions, and spiders. Which one are you talking about?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Huh? Are you really making dark cuisine? Are you planning to poison people in the mall?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Chickens and birds love to eat worms.¡± ¡°Pfft hahaha¡­¡± Fang Yumeng sent a laughing emoji, and Luo Yu cleverly avoided the topic. Just that ¡°Yu¡± character was meaningless. There were many people with the same name. Fang Yumeng was just joking and talking about it. After taking a comfortable hot bath and chatting with everyone, Luo Yu felt that his fatigue had been swept away and his entire body was comfortable. [Prompt: You are in a good mood when you are having fun. You have received a buff: Action Mania (3 days)] [Action Mania: Strength, Constitution, Agility +10%, Efficiency +10%] Luo Yu was stunned when he received the notification. From the previous description, there seemed to be such a thing. If the evaluation of mood, entertainment value, and hygiene were high, there was a certain chance of obtaining positive buff benefits. Conversely, a low value would result in a debuff. Luo Yu: ¡°Eh, I took a hot bath and got the Action Mania buff¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Hot bath! I want to take a bath too!¡± Fang Yumeng said, ¡°Luo Yu, shut up. You¡¯re making my body itchy.¡± Alice: ¡°Luo Yu, you have to use silver in suitable places during the early stages of your surivival. May the goddess bless you.¡± Alina (Dark Elf): ¡°Tch, you can only get close to nature by bathing in the lake. Foolish humans don¡¯t know anything.¡± The Tauren said, ¡°If only I had a girl to take a hot bath with me.¡± Okamoto Hikari (Earthling): ¡°Yoshi, I want to take a bath with Usang.¡± Everyone was envious and jealous. Luo Yu was secretly delighted for a moment. After chatting for a while, he got up and dried himself before going to bed. In the morning, a message popped up in the regional chat: Good morning, everyone. I hope everyone is safe today. This was the third day. After Luo Yu washed up, he went to the mine. On the way, he hummed the most glorious tune of the working people and looked very happy. With the Action Mania buff, how could he not work? A moment later, he looked at the rock wall that was glowing with blue light in front of him and muttered in his heart. Then, he waved his pickaxe! [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. Your mining efficiency, rare ore production rate, and other values have increased by 10,000%.] With a sudden dig, a fist-sized golden rock rolled down. ¡°What a huge piece of gold!¡± [You have obtained gold: 300 units] Luo Yu was overjoyed. This wave of his pickaxe had directly gathered all the gold materials needed to make the defense core, and there were even 100 units of surplus gold! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Gold was considered a raw material and was not sold in the mall. To obtain it, they could either mine or trade with other trial-takers, or burn money to buy finished products from the mall and think of a way to decompose them to obtain gold. This 300 unit of gold was considered a windfall for Luo Yu. Dumby was also crying excitedly beside him. A smile appeared on Luo Yu¡¯s lips. He put away the gold and was about to continue working when the blue rock wall in front of him suddenly shook. Then, a large golden rock rolled out. It was as big as a millstone! ¡°What the heck? Gold?¡± Luo Yu¡¯s eyes widened. However, in the next moment, the piece of gold in front of him unfolded and revealed its true appearance. [When you excavate rare minerals, you incurred the anger of the Golden-shelled Beetle.] [Golden-shelled Beetle: Wild 85%, active attack type] Indeed, there was a chance that they would dig up insects during mining. The better the goods, the higher the probability of provoking insects. The Golden-shelled beetle¡¯s two golden front jaws stretched out. They looked very sharp and directly clamped down on Dumby! ¡°Roar!¡± Dumby roared and jumped away. Then, it pounced on the back of the beetle and bit it. In the end, its bite did not break through its defense at all. The beetle shook its body and threw Dumby off. Then, it used its pincers and jumped away. Luo Yu saw it clearly. This beetle had thick skin and thick flesh, but its agility was not good. ¡°Dumby, move aside. I¡¯ll do it!¡± Dumby immediately jumped away. Luo Yu held the Heavenly Crafting Saber in his hand and went up to slash at the beetle¡¯s front jaw! Clang! With a crisp sound, the characteristics [Zerg Nemesis] allowed Luo Yu¡¯s combat strength to be astonishing when fighting against the Insect race. A hole was directly cut in the hard front jaw of the beetle by the Heavenly Crafting Saber. The Golden-shelled Beetle was furious from the pain. It spread its wings and made a threatening posture. At the same time, it crawled over and pounced on Luo Yu. Luo Yu originally had 27 points of agility, and with the addition of the buff, his agility directly reached 30 points, so he easily dodged this attack. The Golden-shelled Beetle let out an unpleasant insect cry and rushed over again. Unfortunately, Luo Yu still dodged it. After missing a few times, it was so angry that it spun around and began to attack Dumby again. As a wolf, Dumby¡¯s agility was still passable. While dodging, it even bit the beetle. It was not very effective and was instead extremely insulting. It angered the beetle so much that it cried out and attacked randomly. ¡°Beast taming!¡± Luo Yu shouted softly and activated his beast taming skill. [Beast taming failed. Current success rate is 8%.] The LV2 Beast Taming was too low, and the success rate was really not high. The cooldown time had reached ten minute According to the instructions, he could only use the Beast Taming Technique on the same living being three times. If he failed three times, he would not be able to continue. If he wanted to increase the success rate, his Beast Taming Technique was indeed the key. At the same time, the other party¡¯s condition would also affect the success rate. If the other party was in a mentally abnormal state like fear, anger, and chaos, it would increase the success rate. The Golden-shelled Beetle in front of him seemed to be on the verge of a certain state. Luo Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he shouted, ¡°Dumby, follow me.¡± The green wold looked at Luo Yu and saw that Luo Yu had assumed a posture, but he suddenly jumped left and right in front of the beetle, occasionally striking out with his saber. He was mocking it with his saber. After the beetle was teased by him twice, its small eyes widened and it was about to go berserk. ¡°Argh!¡± Dumby and Luo Yu jumped up at the same time. The man and wolf surrounded the Golden-shelled Beetle and jumped horizontally repeatedly. From time to time, there would be insulting saber swings and provocating bites. In the face of this, the Golden-shelled Beetle spread its wings, its tentacles straightened, and its fur stood on end. ¡°Hiss!¡± The Golden-shelled Beetle was so angry that it went berserk on the spot. It chased and bit crazily. However, the agility of the human and wolf was much higher than it. Not only was it unable to touch the other party, but it also attacked back and forth with swings and bites that were full of provocation. It was furious. The mine was in chaos. After ten minutes, Luo Yu activated his beast taming skill again. [Beast taming successful. Current success rate: 61%] It worked! The success rate of 61% showed how angry the Golden-shelled Beetle was¡­ The Golden-shelled Beetle¡¯s body flashed, and it immediately calmed down. Then, it docilely rubbed its front jaw against Luo Yu¡¯s thigh like a sheep. What bad intentions could a beetle have? It was good to be innocent. [Golden-shelled Beetle: Strength 16, Constitution 30, Agility 3] This was a typical example of a tank. After heaving a sigh of relief, Luo Yu patted the Golden-shelled Beetle¡¯s metal exoskeleton and chuckled. ¡°I¡¯ll leave the task of transporting ores to you in the future.¡± The Golden-shelled Beetle happily shook its front jaw, but it crawled to a rock wall and dug. Luo Yu watched curiously. He saw the beetle¡¯s front jaw reach into the rock wall. After digging seven or eight times, it pinched a black spotted stone out. This was a beetle that could mine! Luo Yu was overjoyed. Not only was it a meat shield, but it was also a small miner! Wonderful, it was really wonderful. After observing for a while, Luo Yu realized that the efficiency of the Golden-shelled Beetle was too low. It was at least ten times slower than him digging. If the number of beetles could increase one day, maybe he would not have to go down the mine. Now, he still had to do it himself. After a short rest, Luo Yu dug out more ores. After that, Luo Yu spent most of the day in the mine and dug out piles of black spotted stones. He let the Golden-shelled Beetle pull the mining cart back, while Dumby continued to patrol. During this period, Luo Yu¡¯s mining skill had increased to LV2. He relied on his own ability to dig out an ore other than the stone: iron ore. Although it was only a fist-sized iron ore, it was still a huge improvement! With iron, one could make arrowheads. With bows and arrows, one would have long-range capabilities. It was a huge improvement! After taking a sip of water and looking at the time, it was already 3 PM. Luo Yu ended his mining work for the day. Next, he began to cut stones. In two days, he dug up 3,000 units of stones and piled them up near the wooden house. With this amount, he could basically cut out 15,000 units of stone bricks. The earlier the wall was completed, the safer it would be. As he was cutting, he suddenly received a notification: ¡°Your strength +1, current strength 21.¡± If he did some work, he might obtain additional attribute points. Cutting stones and mining were all hard work. After working for two days, he had obtained 1 Strength. It was wonderful. He cut the stones until the sun set. At night, he took a hot shower and chatted in the area as usual. Perhaps this little chat at night was the only way for everyone to comfort themselves after a busy day. Behind what seemed to be a peaceful life was a huge pressure to survive. In the morning, Luo Yu was woken up by hunger. The satiety effect of the Vermillion Dragon Fruit had disappeared, so he had to solve the breakfast problem first. He went out to take a look at the planting area. As soon as Dumby woke up, it lay on the ridge to bask in the sun. With it around, small animals like birds and rats did not dare to approach the field.

Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The Golden-shelled Beetle slowly nibbled on the grass as it crawled towards the mine. Its job was already fixed. It could either move the cart or mine. Luo Yu looked at the crops. [Corn: Maturity 15%] [Rice: Maturity 15%] [Herb: Maturity 3%] It seemed like the maturity of ordinary crops was raised by 5% per day, while herbs were raised by 1% per day. He would not be able to eat fresh crops for the time being. Luo Yu walked towards the stream. The dam that had been built previously was still there. The effect of this simple fish pond was not bad, and there were more than ten big fish inside. Luo Yu grabbed two fish and walked to the fire pit. He ignited a fire again and roasted fish to eat. He and Dumby each took one. After eating, their bodies were filled with energy again. This time, they did not enter the mine directly. Instead, they began to walk around their territory. They walked along the edge of the mountain range with the goal of finding a place to drain the sewage. After walking for an hour, they really found a satisfactory place. It was a small bamboo forest at the edge of the territory. In the cover of the bushes in the bamboo forest, there was a very small ditch. The water flow definitely led to the purple mountain range, but Luo Yu did not care where it led. It was fine as long as it was not his own water stream. This was a good place to drain the sewage. Nodding in satisfaction, Luo Yu used the Heavenly Crafting Saber to dig a little deeper into the ditch before opening the construction interface. [Simple Drainage Port: 50 Wood or Stones, 10 Silver] After confirming it, he tapped his fingertip and an ordinary stone drain appeared at the dug ditch. The drainage was naturally directed outwards. Next, he had to dig a small ditch to accommodate the drainage pipe. This was very simple for Luo Yu. After calculating the straight line to his home, he started work. In less than half an hour, he was done. With another tap of his fingertip, he spent 100 stones and 20 silver to make a long drainage pipe that connected to the drain. Finally, there was the toilet! He couldn¡¯t afford a luxurious toilet, but he could still make a small and comfortable stone-brick toilet. He chose a place seven to eight meters away from the wooden house. Luo Yu then spent 3,000 stones and 80 silver to build a stone-brick toilet on the spit. The facilities inside were basically complete, but there was no inlet yet. He needed to draw water manually. However, these were all details that needed to be smooth out in the future. The key point was that there was a toilet! Looking at the medium-sized toilet in front of him, Luo Yu felt a sense of accomplishment. Logically speaking, the defense of this toilet was much higher than that of the wooden house. Moreover, it had a stone door. If the wooden house could not withstand the future attacks, he could still hide in the toilet. Shaking his head with a smile, Luo Yu opened the system data. [Hygiene Rating: 48.] A toilet had increased his rating by 30 points. It could be said to have greatly reduced the risk of him getting ill! He looked at his interface data again. Trial Tester: Luo Yu Number: Earth, Xia Country 23333 Base Score: 60 Strength: 21 Physique: 26 Agility: 27 Planting LV2, Mining LV2, Beast Taming LV2¡­ The base¡¯s score was originally 0, but now it was 60, which made Luo Yu overjoyed. The 60 points score meant that after the end of the month, Luo Yu would be rewarded with 600 silver. Of course, the intensity of the attacks at the end of the month would also increase because of this score. He clicked on it and looked at the details: Green Wolf+15, Golden-shelled Beetle+15, Simple Wooden House+10, Stone Toilet+15, Bathtub+5. This rating seemed to only count the fixed wealth. There were no statistics on wolf meat, dark cuisine, or the vegetables in the vegetable field. In addition, Luo Yu realized that he, a trial-taker, was not counted. It was better for it not to count. After all, the intensity of the attack would be lower, and the chances of survival would be higher. After the toilet was built and the drainage pipe was buried, Luo Yu began to plan the location of the wall. In the beginning, the wall did not need to cover a wide area. It just needed to wrap around the wooden house, vegetable field, toilet, and the facilities that would be built in the future. After thinking about it, he decided to make it a 100m*100m square. As for future expansions, he could tear them down. In fact, when he had the money, he could use the wall as the foundation and make a big castle. Luo Yu yearned for that beautiful future in his heart. After retracting his thoughts, he began to build. There were many types of wall. Luo Yu decided to make an intermediate wall first. It was five meters tall and 30 centimeters thick. Coupled with the black spotted stone as the raw material, elephants and rhinos could not break it. Apart from 100 units of stone bricks, a one-meter wall also required 2 silver. Needless to say, he had to build it! With a tap of his fingertip, the pile of stone bricks beside him quickly disappeared, and a five-meter-tall wall rose from the ground in front of him! Luo Yu¡¯s eyes revealed excitement. The sense of accomplishment from building such a wall could not be stopped! However, he was soon forced to stop. The stone bricks were gone! The consumables for building an intermediate wall were relatively large. Alright, he should go mining! At night, Luo Yu, who had dug up a pile of ores, was munching on wolf meat and soaking in the bathtub, enjoying the comfort after work. As there was a lot of stock previously, the wall was built for 50 meters in one go. Luo Yu had roughly calculated that it would take about 20 days to build the entire wall. In terms of time, it was relatively abundant, but Luo Yu was still worried that he did not have enough silver. Previously, he had spent a lot of money in a mess. Now, he only had 1,400 silver left. ¡°Make money.¡± Opening the auction house, Luo Yu put all the dark cuisine on the shelves. There were 100 units of worm cuisine, and he priced them at 10 silver each. It was a conscientious price. As expected, after ten minutes, no one was interested. ¡°There¡¯s really no one from Starlord Maori¡¯s race?¡± He tried to send an anonymous message to the world. ¡°Roasted centipedes and stewed spiders are on sale. Friends from the universe with unique tastes, come and buy them!¡± As soon as the news was released, there was an immediate response. ¡°Brother, do you have fried centipedes?¡± ¡°Braised spider tastes better!¡± ¡°I¡¯m from the centipede race. Whoever dares to eat my race, I¡¯ll kill them!¡± There were all kinds of comments, but Luo Yu didn¡¯t care. He beamed and began to collect the money. In just a few minutes, he had sold all the ¡°dark cuisine¡± and obtained 1,000 silver. Now, he had 2,400 silver, and the sense of crisis in his heart had eased a lot. Of course, this was just his wishful thinking. At this stage, not to mention 2,400 silver, even 240 silver was a huge sum. ¡°Speaking of bugs¡­¡± Luo Yu entered the virtual arena. Although it was not as lively as the world channel, there were still many people. It was a pure stage for the strong. It was like playing a game on Earth. Luo Yu browsed through the various rooms, including the names of the rooms and the summary of the arena lord and the bets. ¡°Come if you¡¯re not afraid of death, 50 Silver (Arena Lord, Lycan Clan) ¡°Who wants to kill me? 20 Silver (Arena Lord, Megalodon Clan) ¡°Fight to your heart¡¯s content tonight, 50 Silver (Arena Lord, Ghost Horn Clan) ¡°Human called Yu, come out for Lord Insect! 1,000 Silver (Arena Lord, Zerg) If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations There were all kinds of rooms, and most of the bets were not big. They were mostly below 100 silver, but there were seven or eight rooms with the same name: ¡°Human Yu, come out for Uncle Bug! 1,000 Silver.¡± Needless to say, the insectoids wanted to get back at him. Luo Yu sneered. He did not know why the insectoids were rich, but he knew that he had to give these insects a taste of his power. Keeping a low profile did not mean that he could be provoked! He directly entered a room. It was another man from the Mantis Clan. This person recognized Luo Yu at a glance and shouted, ¡°You¡¯re finally out!¡± ¡°Yu, today, I, Sky Saber Mantis, will leave a psychological shadow on you!¡± At this moment, many spectators rushed in. After all, a bet of 1,000 silver was too eye-catching, and it was a grudge game. Luo Yu only sneered and waited for the start. ¡°3¡± ¡°2¡± ¡°1¡± Both sides charged at each other at the same time. Both of them were very fast, and in less than two to three seconds, they crossed paths. The Heavenly Crafting Saber and the sickle attacked almost at the same time. In the next moment, the two of them passed by each other and stood on the spot. At this moment, the audience¡¯s eyes widened as a muffled sound suddenly sounded. Plop. The mantis¡¯s head was cut off, but Luo Yu was unharmed. ¡°I only need one slash to kill you.¡± Luo Yu¡¯s cold voice reverberated in the empty room. The audience was in an uproar, but Luo Yu did not stop and had already left the room. This time, he did not leave the arena. Instead, he entered another room with a bet of 1,000 silver. The audience followed closely behind and it ended with another slash! It was one slash to cut the Mantis Clan, and another slash to cut the Great Turtle Scorpion Clan in half! At this moment, someone understood! ¡°Weapon! The weapon in this guy¡¯s hand is amazing. It can even shatter the exoskeleton of the Great Turtle Scorpion Clan!¡± ¡°It must be a graded weapon! Moreover, I suspect that it¡¯s very likely a Bronze-rank weapon that has surpassed the Black Iron-rank!¡± ¡°Bronze rank? It should be at least Silver rank!¡± Since he had completely formed a grudge with the insectoids, Luo Yu did not care about anything else and directly began to sweep through the insectoid rooms in the arena. In less than half an hour, he had destroyed seven insectoid rooms. If he only attacked the Zergs, he would unleash the Zerg Nemesis characteristic to the extreme. The main purpose of coming to the arena was to earn money. Some races offered higher prices, ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 silver, but Luo Yu felt that he should not be a match for them. Those were all rooms opened by Arena Lords from the Dragon Clan, Ghost Clan, and Blood Clan. There was no need to look at people. Just by looking at the names of their clans, one could tell that they were the type that they could not defeat at all¡­ He looked at his silver and saw that it was exactly 10,000 points. He also received a notification: [Congratulations on obtaining a consecutive win. Your strength score has increased. You have obtained the achievement of a Black Iron Trial Tester.] [Black Iron Trial Tester completed. Related technological chain and functions have been unlocked.] Luo Yu was overjoyed. According to the description, one could unlock mercenary technology after reaching the Black Iron rating. He hurriedly exited the arena and looked at his research column. As expected, the mercenary technology had been unlocked. The so-called mercenaries were literally mercenaries. He placed his information in the information panel of the Mercenary Plaza and set a price. If there were problems in other people¡¯s survival base that they could not solve, they could spend this price to hire mercenaries to help them. In other words, mercenaries could temporarily leave their survival base and enter other people¡¯s survival bases. To register as a mercenary, one had to have at least a Black Iron rating and had to pay a portion of the deposit. Luo Yu carefully read the description of the mercenary system and discovered that this was the real way to earn money quickly. There were wins and losses in the arena. On the other hand, mercenaries would definitely earn and not lose. The key was that the safety factor was extremely high. Yes, when mercenaries entered another survival base, they had five seconds of invincibility. During this period, they would not suffer any damage. Once they had judged the situation clearly, if they thought that this mission was beyond their ability, they could immediately retreat and escape back to their survival base through the spatial door. However, the deposit would be deducted. When it came to a life and death situation, who would care about the deposit! Unlocking the technology to become a mercenary required 5,000 silver and a Crystal Essence Stone. Silver was fine, but the Crystal Essence Stone could only be mined by luck or see if anyone would sell it at the auction house. Luo Yu immediately searched around, but no one was selling such precious stones. He then went to the Mercenary Plaza to take a look, but there was not a single mercenary. But there was no hurry. Even if he wanted to register as a mercenary, he had to develop his base. Under the circumstances that his base was absolutely safe, going out was the way to go. It was worth mentioning that in addition to the technology tree of the Mercenary System, there were also professions like the Visitor System, Life Skill Doctor, Beast Tamer, and Herbalist who could enter other people¡¯s survival bases as mercenaries. Of course, it was impossible for anyone to be certified now. Before going to bed, he chatted with everyone in the regional channel to discuss survival strategies. Needless to say, Luo Yu had gained something. Fang Yumeng felt that she should buy seeds as soon as possible and plant some vitamin-rich vegetables. Otherwise, the human body would weaken day by day without these necessary vitamins. Luo Yu agreed. After searching through the auction house, he found that there were people selling tomato seeds. They were not expensive and cost only 20 silver. Early in the morning, Luo Yu finished washing up and went to catch another fish to eat. Then, he opened up a new plot of farmland and planted the tomato seeds. When planting the last seed, Luo Yu hesitated. Should he use today¡¯s critical hit chance when planting or mining? After hesitating for a moment, he decided use it when mining. He planted the last seed in his hand and walked towards the mine. A moment later, he muttered in his heart as he faced the rock wall. Then, he threw a pickaxe down! [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. Your mining efficiency, rare ore production rate, and other values have increased by 10,000%.] A light flashed in front of him, and Luo Yu hurriedly moved aside. He saw a green stone the size of a washbasin roll out. This stone was crystal clear and very beautiful. [You have obtained jade: 500 units] [Your mining skill has been upgraded to Level 3.] ¡°Jade!¡± Luo Yu was overjoyed. He had another raw material for the defense core! All that was left was the beast soul core! After letting the Golden-shelled Beetle carry this piece of jade back, Luo Yu began to dig again. At the same time, he thought to himself that this beast soul core could only be obtained by killing ferocious beasts. It was an extremely precious thing. It might appear in the auction house, but even if it did, it would definitely be at an astronomical price. At this stage, he was afraid he could not afford it. As for the ferocious beasts, they might suddenly come out and attack him. There was also a chance of a large-scale attack at the end of the month. At the moment, there were only these two plans. As for entering the purple mountain range to take the initiative to search for ferocious beasts, this was an act of being tired of living. Let¡¯s wait! What made him feel a little regretful was that the rare ore this time did not dig out any insects. He was still thinking of using the horizontal jump again.

Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On this day, Luo Yu dug for another day. Due to his LV3 mining skills and Action Mania buff, his mining efficiency was comparable to the previous two days. What made him even happier was that he had dug out four iron ores. Currently, there were 600 units of iron! In the evening, a light rain began to fall from the sky. After dinner, Luo Yu went to the toilet and strolled on the grassland. This stroll was not for digestion after dinner, but for gathering berry seeds in the bushes. There were not only grass on the grassland, but also some other crops. Alice said that her vegetable seeds and broccoli seeds were collected on the grassland. Luo Yu was not the only one collecting it. Fang Yumeng and the others must be collecting it too. ¡°I got it!¡± Luo Yu found a berry bush with green berries. Although the berries were not ripe, the seeds in the fruit were real. After putting it away, he continued to search. The setting sun dragged out Luo Yu¡¯s shadow. In the pattering rain, his back looked a little lonely, but he was determined. After finding three berry seeds and an immature cabbage on the grassland, Luo Yu prepared to end work and go home. At this moment, a notification sounded: [A group of migrating Burning Fire Birds passed by the sky above your territory.] He looked up and saw a group of fiery red birds flying over from afar. After entering the range of the survival base, they lowered their altitude. There was a lake here, and Luo Yu knew that they were going to hunt for fish. He looked at the area and chatted. As expected, it became lively. Fang Yumeng said, ¡°These Burning Fire Birds are so beautiful.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Meow, I want to catch one to eat.¡± The Tauren said, ¡°Bird meat tastes bad. It¡¯s not as good as vegetables.¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Old Bull, are you a vegetarian?¡± Alice said, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t get too close to the lake. Be careful of the monsters in the lake.¡± Luo Yu had just seen Alice¡¯s message when a black shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake. Then, a huge black fish the size of a house jumped out of the lake. With a jump, it jumped five to six meters and ate the two Burning Fire Birds that were trying to fish! Luo Yu hurriedly controlled the system to record the scene and uploaded it to the regional chat. Fang Yumeng, Alice, and the others: ¡°Oh my god! Monster! Luo Yu, you¡¯re not dead, are you?!¡± Na Ke Er: ¡°I love to eat black fish!¡± Previously, Luo Yu had thought of many ways to eliminate the monsters in the lake, but after seeing this huge black fish monster, there was only one way. Think of a way to kill it from afar! If one were to fight it upfront, they would be an idiot! Boom! The huge black fish fell back into the lake, splashing water all over the sky. The Burning Fire Birds, which had stopped, took off in a panic and began to escape. Just as Luo Yu thought that the bird meat had been ruined, Dumby made a contribution. It suddenly jumped up from a bush and pounced down on a panicked Burning Fire Bird! ¡°Dumby, don¡¯t¡­¡± Before Luo Yu could finish his sentence, the Burning Fire Bird¡¯s neck had already been bitten off. ¡°I wanted to tame it¡­¡± Seeing Dumby running over with the bird in its mouth to claim credit, Luo Yu smiled faintly and stroked its head. ¡°Go pluck all its fur. I¡¯ll roast it for you later.¡± ¡°Woof woof!¡± Dumby wagged its tail excitedly. A man and a dog were walking back. On the way back, Luo Yu¡¯s sharp eyes noticed two bird eggs not far away! He ran over and took a look. This egg was even bigger than a goose egg. It should be the eggs of the Burning Fire Birds. ¡°Did the female Burning Fire Birds lay their eggs in advance due to stress?¡± ¡°What a bird!¡± A smile appeared on Luo Yu¡¯s face. The Burning Fire Birds here were not like the cute flamingos on Earth. It was about the size of a peacock and could be considered a flying ferocious bird. When tamed, it could help in battle and its scouting ability was also very good. The key was that it could be used with a critical hit to try his luck. What if a critical hit hatched a little phoenix? He thought happily and returned to the house with the two bird eggs. After a while, the rain stopped. Luo Yu chatted with everyone while eating roasted bird legs. Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Meow, my sister and I worked together to catch a Burning Fire Bird. It¡¯s ready to eat!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Work together? Do you have two catgirls?¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Yes, meow! Two? Luo Yu, what do you take us for?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Of course it¡¯s a cute cat girl.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Yes, meow¡­ If that¡¯s the case, it feels strange¡­¡± Fang Yumeng said, ¡°I was lucky to tame one.¡± There was also a photo of a flaming bird after this sentence. It seemed to be quite mighty. Alice: ¡°Eh? Is Mengxue talented in beast taming?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Yes, I¡¯m closer to small animals. My Beast Taming level is at LV3 from the start.¡± Everyone: ¡°Wow! You can try to unlock the beast tamer technology. You can help others tame beasts to earn money in the future!¡± Beast Tamer and Herbalist were similar to mercenaries. If someone paid you, you could leave the base to help. In essence, they were the same as mercenaries. Fang Yumeng asked, ¡°Luo Yu, did you gain anything?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I picked up two bird eggs.¡± Everyone: ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to incubate eggs, eat them tonight!¡± Luo Yu did not know how to incubate eggs, but incubating eggs should be easy. He just had to ensure a suitable temperature around it. He looked at Dumby, who was chewing on a bird¡¯s claw, and said with a smile, ¡°Dumby, I need you!¡± Dumby: ¡°Huh?¡± That night, Dumby hugged the two big bird eggs and carefully fell asleep. For three consecutive days, Luo Yu mined in the mine during the day. The stone-cutting point had already been piled up with rocks as tall as a small mountain, waiting for Luo Yu to cut them. In the evening, he would stroll around the grassland to look for seeds, new plants and fruits. He did not lack meat now, but vegetables to replenish his vitamins were still in short supply. This was not his problem alone. Whether it was the regional channel or the world channel, they were all talking about the problem of vegetables. An ordinary vegetable in the auction house had already been bid up to 100 silver. Of course, some races had little demand for vegetables. For example, the Cat Race, which mainly relied on meat, had never complained about related problems. The three girls on Fang Yumeng¡¯s side had never complained. Sometimes, they had to believe in the existence of the Luck God. There was actually an apple forest in their survival base. They had only recently discovered it. As the king of fruits, apples were enough to replenish vitamins. Fang Yumeng and the others could also take the opportunity to sell them at a high price and make a huge profit. Luo Yu sighed in his heart. Why was he in a bamboo forest and not a fruit forest? Perhaps this was life. Of course, because he had eaten the Vermillion Dragon Fruit and ginseng previously, there were all kinds of trace elements in his body. Therefore, there was no problem for the time being, but he had to plan ahead. Crops like tomatoes and berries were far from being ripe. Luo Yu thought about it and could not think of a good solution. At this point, it would be a waste to use a critical hit to accelerate the ripening of an ordinary crop.

Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As he walked, Luo Yu walked into the bamboo forest. It was spring in the Heavenly Dao World, and now was the time when spring was warm and flowers bloomed. The bamboos also grew rapidly. Patting a crisp bamboo, Luo Yu muttered to himself, ¡°Keep growing. If it¡¯s any harder, I¡¯ll use you as a javelin.¡± ¡°Wait a little bit. Harder?¡± ¡°No, keep growing!¡± A thought flashed across Luo Yu¡¯s mind as he turned to look at his feet. There was a seedling of a green bamboo poking out¡­ ¡°Bamboo shoots!¡± Luo Yu was overjoyed when he saw the bamboo shoots. Although bamboo shoots were not considered green vegetables in the traditional sense, they were also rich in various vitamins! He immediately used the Heavenly Crafting Saber to dig. As he searched, he dug until the sky turned completely dark. He dug twelve bamboo shoots in one go. It was enough to eat for a period of time. That night, he cooked a pot of bamboo shoot and meat soup. It was so fragrant that Dumby was craving it. Even the Golden-shelled Beetle crawled over to ask for meat. Luo Yu had a very comfortable and nutritious meal. It was great! After eating and drinking his fill, Luo Yu entered the arena and prepared to make a small profit. Relying on the talent [Zerg Nemesis], Luo Yu obtained another 400 silver coins from these aggressive Zergs tonight. Currently, he had 10,350 silver coins, which was a huge sum. Seeing that it was about time, Luo Yu said goodnight to everyone in the regional chat channel and went to bed early. In the morning, breakfast was still bamboo shoot and meat soup. After eating, he went to mine as usual. Luo Yu realized that staying in the mine all day was not good for his health, so he changed the schedule. He would mine in the morning and cut rocks outdoors in the afternoon. Today¡¯s critical hit was still used for mining. This time, he actually dug out a magnet the size of a washbasin, and it stuck onto the pickaxe, almost breaking it off. Because he could dig out a rare ore every day and gain a large wave of mining experience, his mining skill had reached Level 4. Today, another 20-meter wide wall was built. When he returned home to take a look at the two bird eggs, they seemed to be showing signs of breaking out of their shells. It would probably take another two to three days. On the sixth day, in the mine, Luo Yu began to mine ores very briskly. The efficiency of his Level 4 mining skill had greatly increased. Basically, a swing of his pickaxe would drop goods, and the probability of digging iron ores had increased. He muttered in his heart and immediately received a notification: [Hundredfold Critical Hit Triggered] With a swing of his pickaxe, Luo Yu felt the rock wall tremble slightly and hurriedly jumped away. The next moment, a large pile of ores rolled out, all of which were black spotted stones. [Black Spotted Stone: 100 units] ¡°Good lord, it¡¯s really a Hundredfold Critical Hit, right¡­¡± The corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. It was a pity that he did not gain any rare ores this time. Just as he was a little disappointed, two ¡°rocks¡± suddenly moved in the pile of black spotted stones and pounced at him! [Earth-digging Worm: Wild 90%, active attack type] Luo Yu frowned slightly and took out his Heavenly Crafting Saber. With the enhancement of the [Zerg Nemesis] talent, the two Earth-digging Worms were sent flying like ping pong balls and fell into a coma. ¡°Playing dead?¡± Luo Yu sneered and slapped the head of one of the worms. After the worm woke up, it seemed to be afraid of Luo Yu and wanted to run, but its strength was suppressed and it could not move. ¡°Tame!¡± With a soft shout, a light flashed on the worm¡¯s body. He had actually successfully tamed it. [Earth-digging Worm: Strength 4, Constitution 12, Agility 6] [Special Function: Mining. Earth-digging Worms can do less efficient mining work. Initial Mining Level 2] ¡°As expected!¡± Luo Yu was delighted when he saw the explanation. He tamed the other Earth-digging Worm. As they were both in a state of fear, the success rate was quite high. ¡°The two of you, from today onwards, mine well.¡± After giving the order to the two Earth-digging Worms, they immediately moved. Their front claws reached into the rock wall and dug. Needless to say, their efficiency was much higher than the Golden-shelled Beetle. With the help of these two worms, the construction period of the wall could be greatly shortened. On this day, Luo Yu worked hard and increase the length of the wall to 100 meters. One part of wall had already been built. At night, as usual, he soaked in the bathtub and chatted. Many people were complaining. They did not have enough to eat and did not have warm clothes. They also had to face attacks. Such days felt like forever. Such words filled the world and regional chat channels. Luo Yu realized that a few active users on the regional channel had not appeared for two days, so they might not be there anymore. Fang Yumeng: ¡°After eating apples for two days, my mouth feels so light. What do you guys eat?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Do you want to eat meat? Let¡¯s exchange an apple for a piece of meat. How about that?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Eh, really? Deal!¡± A trading interface immediately appeared in front of Luo Yu. On the interface, Yumeng directly placed ten apples. Luo Yu placed five pieces of wolf meat and five pieces of bird meat on it, and the transaction was completed. In a flash of light, ten apples fell into the bathtub. Logically speaking, fruits were much more valuable than meat at this stage. According to the market price, Luo Yu had actually made a profit. ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m so hungry. Let¡¯s not talk anymore. I¡¯ll eat meat with my sisters!¡± Fang Yumeng sent a private message. The two of them were not good friends, so private messages were limited. They could only chat for ten minutes a day. Friend slots in the Heavenly Dao World were very valuable. Purchasing a friend slot required 1,000 silver. After becoming friends with each other, the limit on the number of private messages would be lifted. Moreover, friends were a prerequisite for visitors technology. Even if they unlocked the visitor technology, they would not be able to visit each other¡¯s survival base unless they were good friends. After putting away the apples, Luo Yu returned to the bathtub and checked the food he currently had. Apples: 10, Wolf Meat: 30, Burning Fire Bird Meat: 42, Bamboo shoots: 11. In addition to the seven or eight big fish raised in the temporary fish pond, the meat reserve was about 80 units, and the vegetables were 21 units. He needed to consume about five units of meat and two units of vegetables each day. Dumby also needed five units of meat each day. The two Earth-digging Worms were small, but they still needed two units of meat a day. As for the Golden-shelled Beetle, it ate grass, so there was no need to care about it. With that in mind, there were about eight days of food reserves left. However, there was a problem. There were only four days left until the expiration date of the meat. He had to think of a way to refrigerate it. He opened the auction house and searched for ice. After seaching for a while, he realized that no one was selling it. Things like ice were definitely very precious at this stage. In some places, when there was a special climate, one could collect some from hails. Luo Yu wanted to make an underground icehouse, so he tried to request it in the world channel. ¡°Buying ice with silver. Will bid for it in the auction house.¡± ¡°Where can we find ice in spring?¡± ¡°Even if I have ice, I will keep it for myself to store food. It¡¯s not your turn!¡± The messages in the world channel began to mock him. Luo Yu waited for a while and realized that no one was putting ice on the shelves. He searched the system store again, but he did not find any tools that could refrigerate food. He was a little disappointed. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The system store would sell some ordinary supplies, but it would not sell key survival tools. Ice was a key tool! ¡°How do I preserve meat effectively?¡± Luo Yu pondered in his heart. Making cured meat was one way, but it would only prolong it for a little while. Moreover, the temperature had risen recently, causing the expiration period to be shorter. He quickly calculated in his heart. Suddenly, he looked at the pile of iron ore outside the wooden house, and his eyes gradually lit up. He jumped out of the bathtub. After putting on his clothes, Luo Yu spent 4 silver coins to make eight units of iron ore into a metal box with a shelf in the middle. He then went to the stream and fetched clear water to pour into the metal box. Then, he placed a piece of cloth inside. One end of the cloth was submerged in water, and the other end was wrapped around the metal box. Then, Luo Yu stuffed a pile of meat in, leaving a ventilation hole. This was a simple evaporation refrigeration device. Through the evaporation principle, it could produce a cooling effect. If it could cool down, it could greatly prolong the decay and deterioration of meat. Luo Yu was very satisfied when he placed the metal box in the shade and ventilation area of the wooden house. When humans were forced, the wisdom of working people was unlimited! He chuckled and went to sleep, satisfied. Early in the morning, he glanced at the wolf meat in the metal box. There was a hint of cold air on it. This time, it could be preserved for at least seven to eight days. This bit of time was enough before summer arrived. Today¡¯s breakfast was an apple and half a grilled fish. Luo Yu ate quite happily. After eating, he had an idea and thought of something. There were seeds in this apple! Plant it! Luo Yu, who originally wanted to mine, walked to the vegetable field and dug a pit to plant the apple core. Just as he was about to bury it, he thought of something and silently cursed in his heart. [A Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. Your planting efficiency has increased by 100 times.] After burying the seed, Luo Yu watched helplessly as a small sapling broke out of the ground and quickly grew larger. In just a moment, it turned into an apple tree. ¡°Did it shorten the growth cycle by a hundred times?¡± Luo Yu looked at the dozen or so slightly unripe fruits on the tree and was overjoyed! He could not eat the unripe apples immediately, but with an apple tree, he could plant a forest of apples. It was just a matter of time! With a very happy mood, Luo Yu even carefully surrounded the apple tree with a small earth dam to prevent the rain from drowning it. After doing all this, Luo Yu shouted at Dumby, who was still incubating the eggs in the house, ¡°Dumby, watch the apple tree. Don¡¯t let the little birds eat my fruit!¡± ¡°Argh!¡± Dumby called out in response, indicating that it understood. Go ahead! Luo Yu started mining again. As the saying went, everything went smoothly. This time, he actually relied on his mining level to dig out a small piece of jade. It was not much, 20 units. Along with the jade, there were also two Earth-digging Worms. Luo Yu was an old hand at taming insects. He tamed these two worms without much difficulty. There were now four mining Earth-digging Worms, and his beast taming level had reached LV3. With four Earth-digging Worms and a Golden-shelled Beetle that was in charge of transporting the ores, Luo Yu no longer needed to stay in the mine all morning like before. Now, he only needed two hours to basically complete his workload. After all, the entire base was so big, and there were many things that he needed to do. After coming out of the mine and cutting all the stones, the length of the city wall increased to 130 meters. Luo Yu walked into the bamboo forest and prepared to choose some suitable bamboo to use as javelins. After an afternoon of choosing and cutting, Luo Yu obtained 20 units of bamboo. Then, he opened the system and chose the weapon creation page. [Ordinary Javelin: Wood or Bamboo x1, Steel x5, Silver x5] The iron ore he had dug up previously was useful. Luo Yu directly chose to make 20 javelins. With a flash of light, the javelins appeared in front of him. He picked one up and weighed it in his hand. It felt a little light, but looking at the sharp spearhead, its power was definitely not small. Of course, the premise was that he was accurate enough. He looked at his shooting skill. It was LV3. He had participated in militia training and had shot at targets. Although he was not a sharpshooter, he had passed the training easily. Ordinary people were probably all Level 0. After spending 10 silver to buy a wooden target, Luo Yu practiced throwing javelins and practicing his shooting skills. After the increase in all aspects, his hit rate was not bad. He threw a target from 100 meters away and his hit rate reached 30%. As expected, he was at LV3. 100 meters was a standard distance. Beyond this distance, his accuracy would decrease. The reason why he wanted to practice javelin throwing was firstly because he wanted to shoot down birds. Now that he was much stronger, he would try to shoot down any big birds he encountered in the future. The end target was the strange fish in the lake. That monster occupied the beautiful lake, making Luo Yu grit his teeth in hatred. He would not be able to eat or sleep until he killed it. After practicing throwing the javelin for the entire afternoon, he felt his arms ache. His shooting skills did not increase, but his physique increased by 1 point. Now, it was at 27¡­ It was another day of sunset, and he had worked hard today. Luo Yu was quite satisfied with his current state. After dinner, he was about to take a bath when he suddenly received a notification. [Warning: The weather in the Heavenly Dao World has changed. An abnormal weather might descend on your territory. Please be prepared.] When Luo Yu heard this, he hurriedly carried the outdoor bathtub and other things back to the wooden house while he hid in the stone toilet. The sense of security in the toilet was much stronger than in the wooden house¡­ Boom! A muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and then Luo Yu saw a bolt of lightning strike down and land on the ground by the lake. ¡°Lightning in dry weather!¡± Luo Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. What he was afraid of had come true. At the same time, the regional chat exploded. Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Lightning in dry weather. Oh my god, why is there lightning in such a dry area like ours!¡± Niu Da: ¡°Dry lightning is actually alright. Look at the world channel. There¡¯s a tornado next door and there are fist-sized hailstones. It¡¯s not safe even with a house!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°A house is not enough? Don¡¯t talk nonsense. It¡¯s easy to start a team. Speaking of which, the dry lightning might cause a fire if it strikes grass. Everyone, pay attention. If the grassland catches fire, it won¡¯t be easy to resolve.¡± Fang Mengxue: ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t hide under a tree! Don¡¯t hide under a tree! Don¡¯t hide under a tree! Important things have to be said three times!¡± Niu Da: ¡°Stop talking. I¡¯m on fire! My vegetable field is finished!¡± Alice: ¡°Sigh, are the Fire Elves angry? I¡¯m on fire too¡­¡± Luo Yu was right, but someone in the neighborhood had caught fire! Boom! Another thunderclap sounded. A bolt of lightning struck the grassland and sparks suddenly flew. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Yu frowned slightly. Although a water source was close, he did not dare to go out to extinguish the fire for fear of being struck to death by lightning. Moreover, he believed that the dry lightning would not last long. Indeed, the dry lightning might not last long, but it was still accompanied by strong winds. ¡°Phew¡­¡± A strong gust of wind swept across the grassland, and the flames instantly spread, turning into a sea of fire in the distance! Niu Da: ¡°Wind! Ah! It¡¯s over. I definitely won¡¯t be able to keep my vegetable field!¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Don¡¯t go out to put out the fire, you¡¯ll be struck by lightning!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Everyone, you have to live well. We agreed to add each other as friends when we have money in the future. You have to live well!¡± Alice said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Pray in your heart. The goddess will bless every kind child.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Eh? A lightning struck the lake in my place. Many fish are showing their white bellies. I really want to pick them up.¡± Luo Yu: ¡°¡­Shut up, you three lucky kings!¡± A violent wind swept over, and the flames quickly burned a patch grassland. However, Luo Yu did not have much worry on his face. Because the flames was spreading towards the wall! At this moment, the benefits of having a wall were displayed. If you have the ability, burn my stone too? Luo Yu said, ¡°Fortunately, the flames are blocked by my wall.¡± ¡°A wall?!¡± Alina (Dark Elf): ¡°Foolish human, you actually have a wall?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Alina, you idiotic woman, I¡¯ve tolerated you for a long time. If you dare to call me foolish again, I¡¯ll draw a circle and curse you!¡± As he spoke, he even attached a screenshot of a small section of the flame that was blocked by his wall. Alina said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible for stupid humans to know how to curse. I¡¯m not afraid of you.¡± Alice said, ¡°Alina, stop talking.¡± Niu Da: ¡°Strong! Although it¡¯s only more than ten meters, it¡¯s still so strong!¡± The angle of the photo made him think that it was only more than ten meters long. Zhu Lie (Pig Head Star): ¡°It is made out of black spotted stones. Luo Yu, where did you get so many black spotted stones? Don¡¯t tell me you dug them yourself.¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I love mining.¡± Zhu Lie: ¡°I also like to mine early, but my wall is only five meters in length. Luo Yu, your strength and stamina are so high.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Meow meow? Luo Yu is actually a very powerful boy, right?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Someone told me to shut up, and I don¡¯t dare to speak¡­¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°The fire is getting stronger. Let¡¯s not talk anymore.¡± Niu Da: ¡°My place is burning too. The wooden house is about to collapse!¡± Everyone: ¡°Good luck!¡± On Luo Yu¡¯s side, the flames had indeed increased in size, but the wind was still blowing towards the wall. The hundred-meter long wall completely blocked the flames at the door of the house. It seemed like it would not burn the vegetable fields or the apple tree. Crackle¡­ After a short fire, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the flames were quickly extinguished, but Luo Yu felt that something was wrong. Even from a distance, he could see that the roof of the wooden house was leaking! Fang Yumeng: ¡°It¡¯s over. My wooden house is leaking.¡± ¡°Our houses too!¡± The regional chat was filled with wails. Luo Yu was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well tonight, so he rushed back to the wooden house and chopped the wolf skin on his body. He then placed various tools on the bed and called Dumby to carry the two bird eggs back to the toilet. The man and wolf both leaned against the corner, and Luo Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Even he felt that he had been tortured badly. Many people would probably suffer tonight. Leaning against the corner of the wall, he fell asleep in a daze. That night, he dreamed that he was living in a three-story villa, calmly drinking coffee and admiring the scenery on a rainy night. The next morning, the sky was clear. After waking up, Luo Yu stretched his body and felt good. He walked into the wooden house and saw that it was indeed drenched. There was still water on the ground, and it was uncomfortable to look at. He opened the construction page. If he wanted to build a stone house, he had to unlock the prerequisite: the blueprint of the stone house. [Stone House Construction Description: 1,000 silver, 200 iron ore, Base Score above 100] He looked at his score. As he had built a wall more than a hundred meters tall, his score had unknowingly reached 130. ¡°Eh, that¡¯s enough!¡± A smile appeared on Luo Yu¡¯s face as he chose to unlock it. After deducting the silver and iron ore, he could see some stone house templates that could be built at this stage. There were ordinary stone houses, private houses, small two-story houses, or large three-story villas. The prices were all different. Ordinary stone houses could be built with 6,000 stone bricks and 600 silver. A three-story villa could be built with 300,000 stone bricks and 30,000 silver. It was ridiculously expensive. Of course, the safety index and comfort level of the two options were not on the same level. Seeing these numbers, the corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll build the city wall first¡­¡± The four Earth-digging Worms went to dig rocks again. Luo Yu built a fire in the wooden house and roasted some food while expelling the humidity. Alice asked, ¡°Is everyone okay? Did anyone catch a cold last night?¡± Fang Yumeng said, ¡°Last night, the three of us hugged each other for warmth. We were afraid of falling sick, so we didn¡¯t dare to sleep. In the end, we couldn¡¯t take it anymore and used all the money we earned from selling apples to increase our physique. We survived.¡± ¡°Is Luo Yu still alive?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Speaking of which, it costs 1,000 yuan to increase your physique. Is it really that profitable to sell apples?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Yes, we priced each apple at 200 and earned more than 20,000 taels of silver. Last night, each of us obtained 6 points of physique.¡± Tauren: ¡°I don¡¯t have 100 silver in all my possessions. You guys are really¡­ I want to die!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Luck King! Luck King is real!¡± Alice: ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. Where¡¯s Ke¡¯er? Is she still there?¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°My sister and I are fine too. Cats can curl up in a ball and hide in the mine. My sister¡¯s tail is also furry and very warm!¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Furry, meow, I want to touch¡­¡± Looking at the regional chat, the few people he was familiar with were fine. When he looked at the world chat, they were all wailing. Many people were sick. What it meant to be sick in such an environment was needless to say. After chatting for a while, Luo Yu opened the auction house while eating grilled fish and apples. Enter: ¡°Ice.¡± Last night, there were fist-sized hailstones in many places. The smart guys must have collected them. Sure enough, there were many people selling ice cubes! Most of the ice were around the same price. Even if you priced your item too high, you would not be able to sell it. The market determined its value. Currently, a unit of ice was worth at least 200 silver, and the highest was 250 silver. Luo Yu knew that this price was obviously higher than the usual price. If it was winter, no one would buy your ice cubes for even two silver. After browsing through it, he had a private chat with a Namikh named Rayner. Luo Yu asked, ¡°Brother, can you exchange the 500 ice cubes for something else?¡± Leonard said, ¡°I only want silver. Fifteen thousand silver. I won¡¯t sell it for a silver less!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Yu said, ¡°Get lost!¡± After saying that, he closed the chat window and chatted privately with a fellow called Ao Fu from the Barbaric Bull Clan. Luo Yu said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll exchange your 400 ice cubes with something else. How about that?¡± Ao Fu asked, ¡°What can you exchange?¡± Luo Yu asked, ¡°What do you want?¡± Ao Fu: ¡°Vegetables, fruits, or pets. Good-looking female pets are fine too.¡± ¡°The kind that takes human form!¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Bro, you want to exchange a few pieces of ice for a humanoid pet? And it has to be a good-looking female? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?¡± Ao Fu said, ¡°If you have it, then exchange it. Are we still going to discuss it?¡± Luo Yu thought for a moment and replied with a faint smile, ¡°I definitely don¡¯t have a female pet, and I won¡¯t give you fruits and vegetables, but I can give you hope!¡± ¡°Do you know that there¡¯s a chance of hatching a human-shaped birdman from a bird egg?¡± Ao Fu: ¡°Birdman?¡± ¡°Do you have eggs that can hatch into female birdmen?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I have an egg of a Burning Fire Bird!¡± ¡°Brother, I¡¯m an honest person. I can¡¯t guarantee that this bird egg can hatch a birdman. Even if there¡¯s a high chance of hatching a birdman, it might not be a female birdman.¡± ¡°But there is hope!¡± ¡°A hope to gamble with the Heavenly Dao!¡± Ao Fu said, ¡°You¡­ What you said seems to make sense. What about the bird egg? Let me take a look.¡± A trading interface was sent over, and Luo Yu simply placed one of the bird egg. [Burning Fire Bird Egg: About to hatch] Ao Fu said, ¡°It¡¯s about to hatch? How about this? I¡¯ll exchange 200 ice cubes with you!¡± ¡°200? The hope of a female birdman is only worth 200 ice cubes?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t change it. I will keep it for myself.¡± After saying that, he closed the trading window. As expected, Ao Fu immediately sent a message. ¡°300! 300 ice cubes. This is the highest price I can offer.¡± ¡°No!¡± Luo Yu appeared to be very decisive. For a moment, Ao Fu did not send any more messages. It¡¯s just that those from the Barbarian Bull Clan did not have much patience. In less than three seconds, Ao Fu sent another message. ¡°Alright, 400 it is! I¡¯ll risk my life for a female birdman!¡± ¡°Good lord, is he thinking with his lower body?¡± Luo Yu laughed in his heart, but he fell silent. The more he acted like this, the more impatient the other party became. He continuously sent messages. After three minutes of silence, Luo Yu replied, ¡°Sigh, I always feel that I will regret trading with you.¡± Ao Fu said, ¡°Brother, I beg you. I¡¯ll give you all the ice. I¡¯ll add another carrot, okay?¡± ¡°Well ¡­¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Alright, we can make a deal.¡± Soon, the trading page came over. As expected, there were 400 units of ice and a carrot. Luo Yu simply placed the bird egg on it. [Deal completed! Please choose the area where the ice is placed.] Overjoyed, Luo Yu chose to place the ice cubes outside the house. His vision blurred, and 400 ice cubes were piled up squarely. Each ice cube was basically the size of a lunch box. This was enough for a small underground icehouse. Ao Fu said, ¡°Brother, let¡¯s not talk about anything else. I¡¯m going to incubate the eggs. If there really is a female birdman, I¡¯ll give you a carrot every day!¡± ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°That¡¯s easy. Remember to use the soft parts of your body to incubate it. Don¡¯t break the egg!¡± Ao Fu: ¡°Sigh! Thank you, brother. I won¡¯t talk anymore. I¡¯m leaving!¡± The chat window closed. Luo Yu did not waste any time. After choosing a location, he started digging! Luo Yu was very strong, and the Heavenly Crafting Saber was very efficient in digging. As he dug, he quickly dug a passageway and a square hole about four meters deep with an area of about twenty square meters. He opened the construction page and spent some ordinary stone bricks and silver to build a small cellar! After placing the ice cubes one by one and covering it with a stone cover, the surrounding temperature instantly decreased. Luo Yu felt extremely comfortable in the dark environment of the icehouse. There were at least 2,000 units of meat and vegetables stored here. There was no need to worry about expiration dates in the summer! After climbing out of the icehouse, Luo Yu calculated the surroundings of the icehouse and said to himself with a smile, ¡°When the time comes, I¡¯ll build a warehouse above the icehouse. It¡¯ll be convenient to block the sun. Perfect.¡± He had already planned it. Since he had exchanged a bird egg for so much ice, Luo Yu had saved at least seven to eight thousand silver. Thinking of the situation last night, he decided to spend five thousand silver to add points. Fang Yumeng and the others¡¯ train of thought was actually very correct. Only with a high physique could they resist illnesses and their injuries would recover faster. At the same time, they would be able to work for a longer time. Physique was the support of everything. 5,000 silver could buy 5 attribute points. After thinking for a while, Luo Yu added 2 Strength and 3 Physique. Only when one¡¯s strength was high could they use a javelin to stab that strange fish to death! He looked at the interface. Strength: 23 Physique: 30 Agility: 27 Currently, he still had more than 5,000 silver coins. He would save them for mercenary technology. After sorting out his thoughts, what he lacked the most now was still stone. The wall, warehouse, and big villa all needed a huge number of rocks to support them. Luo Yu went to the mine again. In the dim environment, he slashed down with his pickaxe. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered] Following the swing was a hundred black spotted stones. This time, a large pile of stones appeared. [You have +1 Strength from mining activities.] ¡°Beautiful.¡± The corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth curled up. After holding on for a few days, he gained another attribute point. His sharp gaze swept across the pile of rocks and indeed, he discovered three Earth-digging Worms! There was nothing else to say. Tame! After a series of operations, there were three more Earth-digging Worms. This time, there were seven worms. One worm¡¯s mining ability was equivalent to an ordinary human with Mining LV1. This was equivalent to seven people working for Luo Yu for nothing. After digging for two hours in the morning and spending an hour cutting stones to build a wall, the total length of the wall was now 170 meters. It were getting closer and closer to the goal of 400 meters! During lunch, the seven Earth-digging Worms also crawled out and waited to be fed. After Luo Yu gave them a few pieces of meat, he realized that as the number of Earth-digging Worms in the base increased, the food supply became tight again. These worms did not eat vegetables or grass, so he had to think of a way to get some meat. He went to the auction house to take a look. The general price of meat was much lower than vegetables, but it was still very expensive. Speaking of which, there were many restrictions in this auction house. All the restrictions should be to prevent the reselling of items and the appearance of merchants. Going to the auction house to buy meat now would definitely be a waste. Currently, there were three ways to get food. The first was hunting. Small animals would sometimes pop up on the grassland, such as field mice, rats, squirrels, and so on. If one were lucky, one would even encounter rabbits, but the chances were very low. It was difficult to find such animals, and Luo Yu did not want to eat rats¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The second method was still to hunt, but not rats. Instead, one could make bows and arrows to shoot small birds. However, there were not many birds that came to this grassland to forage. It was not a wise move to shoot arrows for so little meat. The third method was naturally to catch fish. After finishing a pot of broth, Luo Yu nibbled on a carrot as he walked to the stream. The dam was still there, and there were only two or three big fish left in the temporary fish pond. Smaller fish had been ignored by Luo Yu, as they were not enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. If he wanted to lure more big fish over, he needed more bait like the internal organs of animals. Moreover, this method was not a long-term solution. Luo Yu stood on the shore and thought for a moment. A thought flashed through his mind and he thought of a solution. Why not just dig out a fish pond? This fish pond could be used as a reference to the current model. Two dams could be set up as inlet and outlet respectively. Usually, when the inlet was opened, the fish pond would be filled with water and bait would be put down to tempt all kinds of fish to come and make a nest here. After two to three days, he would seal the inlet, open the outlet, drain the water, and place a net at the outlet. Wouldn¡¯t that mean that he could directly pick up fish? It was probably not just fish, but crabs, prawns, and so on. The more Luo Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. The location should not be too far from the stream, or else the drainage would be inconvenient. He decided to choose a spot near the wall. This spot would not only be within his throwing range, but it was also a high and low terrain. The direction of the water was okay, and it would save a lot of effort to dig. The key was that if there was an attack, it could also be used as a moat. It was perfect. After choosing the location and calculating it, he still needed two large rocks that could block the outlet and inlet, as well as a sturdy fishing net to prevent the fish from being washed away when he released the water. The big rocks were easy to find, but fishing nets¡­ The system store did not sell key items like fishing nets. He had to think of a way himself. It was too much work to build a decent fishing net by himself, and there were no nylon threads or glue¡­ ¡°It needs to have the tenacity and elasticity that can withstand the impact of water and effectively block fish and shrimp¡­¡± Luo Yu rubbed his chin and paced around on the spot for a moment. A thought flashed through his mind and he thought of something. Bamboo! Bamboo that had been cut into thin strips had a certain toughness and elasticity. After being reinforced with vines, it could form the shape of a bamboo basket that could cover the outlet. Even fish would not be able to escape if they entered the bamboo basket! ¡°Wait a minute, I don¡¯t think I have to make the bamboo basket myself. It¡¯s sold in the mall!¡± Luo Yu hurriedly searched for it and indeed, he found various types of bamboo baskets of all sizes, and they were not expensive. The mall did not sell fishing nets, but there were substitutes for fishing nets hidden inside! As long as one¡¯s thoughts did not slip, there were more solutions than difficulties. In any case, there were seven worms digging stones now. Luo Yu decided to build the fish pond first! After spending 60 silver to buy the largest bamboo basket, Luo Yu used the Heavenly Crafting Saber to start digging. When he was working hard, time would always pass unknowingly. As the sun set, Luo Yu looked at the ¡°fish pond¡± that was more than half dug up in front of him and was overjoyed. It should be completed tomorrow. It was good to have high stamina. He could work for a long time and his body would still be fine! It was time to take a bath again. In the regional chat, everyone communicated again. Niu Da said, ¡°How tragic. Half of the grassland was burned by fire, which means that I only have half of my food left. Sigh! The vegetables in the field will only mature in twelve days.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Your food is quite extensive. If I can eat grass, my life will be much less troublesome.¡± Alice: ¡°The sun rises and sets. Perhaps we are chasing the true meaning of life now.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Luo Yu, do you have enough food? What are your plans for the future?¡± Perhaps because Luo Yu was the only Chinese boy in the nearby area, Fang Yumeng was naturally closer to him. Luo Yu was the same, as he felt a sense of kinship. Luo Yu said, ¡°There¡¯s enough for now. I¡¯m planning to dig a small fish pond. What about you guys?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°We¡­ Wait a minute, dig a fish pond?!¡± ¡°Luo Yu, is it my imagination? Why do I feel like you have endless strength¡­¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Cat Girls like strong boys! My sister will definitely like Luo Yu hehehe.¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I¡¯m quite curious about Cat Girls. I want to see your ears and tails.¡± Niu Da: ¡°Do you want to see my ears and tail?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Scram!¡± Originally, Luo Yu was just joking. He did not expect Na Ke¡¯er to really send a screenshot in private. Two small heads leaned against the upper edge of the bathtub that was floating in the fog. One of them had white ears, and the other had black ears. One could vaguely see the tails behind these head. It was also black and white. These two Cat Girls were also taking a bath! Unfortunately, there were only ears and tails. It did not have what Luo Yu wanted to see. Na Ke Er (Private Chat): ¡°I¡¯ll show it to you. Don¡¯t forward it to anyone else, or I¡¯ll bite you!¡± Luo Yu felt his heart beating faster. This Cat Girl was a little seductive! Luo Yu said, ¡°You can bite me, but please meow as you bite.¡± ¡°Meow, you¡¯re so annoying. My sister is blushing!¡± Na Ke¡¯er closed the private chat while Luo Yu laughed heartily. He was very happy in his heart. Regional chat was really a seasoning for his boring life. After chatting with everyone for a while, he entered the virtual arena. Just as he entered a 100-silver battle room opened by a Zerg, the Zerg was obviously shocked and shouted, ¡°Yu is here!¡± After saying that, he actually admitted defeat. After receiving the money, he left the room and took a look. More than half of the rooms opened by the Zergs in the arena on this channel were gone. It seemed that these Zergs were afraid of him. This made him frown slightly. ¡°Have I been beating up the Zergs a little too ruthlessly recently? Should I wait a few days?¡± ¡°Forget it. Since I¡¯m already here, I¡¯ll try another race.¡± He clicked on a room called Autumn Leaf. The price of the battle was not high at 50 silver. The other party seemed to be a human, and a female at that. The two of them did not talk much. After the countdown of 3.2.1, they directly attacked! BANG! The moment they passed each other, the sword in Autumn Leaf¡¯s hand was cut by the Heavenly Crafting Saber on the spot. However, the ability she displayed next gave Luo Yu a whole new understanding of combat. This woman¡¯s movements were agile, and the broken sword in her hand was also good at offense and defense. Luo Yu clearly felt that his basic attributes suppressed her, but it was difficult for him to win quickly. After sixty to seventy rounds, Luo Yu¡¯s advantage in physique was revealed. He took advantage of Autumn Leaf¡¯s exhaustion and punched her in the chest. ¡°You¡­¡± Autumn Leaf stopped attacking. Her small hand covered her chest where she had been hit. Although he could not see her face, he knew that she was embarrassed and angry. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Luo Yu saw this, he hurriedly said, ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to hit you there¡­¡± ¡°You, don¡¯t say anymore!¡± Autumn Leaf gritted her teeth. ¡°Yu, very good. You¡¯re the first man to defeat me! ¡°Four days! We¡¯ll fight again at this time in four days. Do you dare?¡± [A challenge from Autumn Leaf has been received. Do you accept?] Luo Yu could more or less feel that his combat ability had increased a little when he fought with this woman. He nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come! However, if you still care so much about your chest, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to defeat me.¡± ¡°You¡­ Shameless! Just you wait!¡± Autumn Leaf immediately left the room. [K.O., you have won.] After leaving the room, Luo Yu did not continue to stay in the arena. Instead, he pondered. Just now, Autumn Leaf definitely knew martial arts. In a state where her strength, physique, and agility were only half of Luo Yu¡¯s, she could actually contend with him for so long. If it were a Zerg of the same attribute, he would probably be insta-killed without triggering his talent. Martial techniques! Luo Yu hurriedly opened the system interface and clicked on the battle technology tree. Unlocking martial arts required 10,000 silver. After unlocking it, one could learn martial arts. There were no secret manuals for sale in the shop. Only by killing ferocious beasts or having an explosive luck could one get martial arts secret manuals. Of course, another way to get it was through an auction, but the price for it would definitely be sky-high. Luo Yu was well aware of the importance of martial techniques. If he were to price it, it would probably start at seven digits of silver. ¡°Could it be that that woman¡¯s martial technique is inherited? Or did she luckily pick it up?¡± Luo Yu was puzzled and prepared to beat that woman in three days before asking. With that thought in mind, Luo Yu got up and returned to his room to sleep. When he woke up in the morning, he washed up and ate before continuing to dig the fish pond! Before lunch, a fish pond about 40 square meters and a meter deep was dug. The ditches for inlet and outlet had been completed yesterday. Luo Yu moved away the big stone bricks at the inlet and the water from the stream flowed over. In a moment, the fish pond was filled with water. He took out a field mouse he had caught when he was mining yesterday and cut it in half, preparing to throw it into the lake as bait to attract fish. Suddenly, he had an idea. What if the bait could be a critical hit. As he thought about it, he threw the two halves of the field mouse into the pond. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. The effect of the bait you placed has increased by a hundredfold.] ¡°That¡¯s really good!¡± Luo Yu was shocked. Then, he saw a faint light flashing at the bottom of the pond. Even if the effect of the bait was increased by a hundred times, it would not be so fast. He would wait and see how many fish he could attract tomorrow. In the afternoon, Luo Yu began to cut some stones. The seven Earth-digging Worms dug out almost cart after cart of stones. Luo Yu felt that he did not need to go to the mine anymore. With a huge increase in efficiency, the construction of the wall every day increased from 20 meters to 40 meters. When Luo Yu finished his busy day, he had already built another side of the wall. There were still 200 meters left of the wall remaining. At this speed, the wall would be completed soon! That night, when he was sleeping, he vaguely heard the sound of fish splashing in the fish pond. Not only did this sound not seem noisy, but it instead sounded pleasant to Luo Yu¡¯s ears. When he woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was walk to the fish pond and start working! First, he blocked the inlet and moved the big stone bricks blocking the outlet away! ¡°Hualala!¡± The water surged and flowed along the ditch that had been dug beforehand, directly converging into a stream not far away. Luo Yu could already hear the crackling sound in the bamboo basket. It was the sound of fish falling into it! When the water in the fish pond was almost drained, the bamboo basket was already filled with fish. There were yellow fish, black fish, grass fish, green jade, freshwater groupers, and so on. There were also all kinds of fish, crabs, and freshwater prawns! Outside the bamboo basket, there were also more than a dozen fish swimming in the fish pond. Luo Yu¡¯s face was full of smiles. Successful! ¡°Dumby, stop incubating the eggs. Come and help!¡± ¡°Ahwooh!!¡± An hour later, the ice cellar was piled with all kinds of big fish, small fish, crabs, and shrimp. It was all meat. How comfortable! At this moment, the fish pond was filled with water and opened for business. The effect of the hundredfold bait had yet to disappear! Luo Yu was not greedy. He only put up a portion of the aquatic products. Sure enough, it was all sold out in a short while. Luo Yu had an extra 4,000 silver. After thinking for a while, he felt that strength was more practical now. [Strength +4, Current strength: 28] ¡°Beautiful! I wonder how long that hundred-fold bait can last?¡± With this thought in mind, Luo Yu happily began to cut some stones. Luo Yu ordered the Earth-digging Worms to wake up early and dig for stones in the dark. He also dug up a large pile of black spotted stones. There were always endless stones waiting for him. The days of working hard were always so boring. Another morning arrived. The first thing he did was to head to the fish pond. Good lord, he had caught a lot of aquatic fish and prawns this time. Luo Yu looked at the [Hundredfold Fish Bait] and saw that it was still glowing. Although the light was very dim, it seemed to be able to last for another day. ¡°Wonderful!¡± Needless to say, the average bid in the auction house today was a little higher than yesterday. He earned 8,200 silver in one go. With the eight attribute points in hand, Luo Yu added 5 points of strength and 3 points of agility. The interface was as follows: Strength: 33 Physique: 30 Agility: 30 This attribute was already twice the average person in the universe! Luo Yu felt that he had the posture of an expert. After restructuring the fish pond, he continued to cut stones! Just as he was cutting, Dumby¡¯s cry suddenly sounded from the wooden house. Luo Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly walked over. As expected, a crack appeared on the egg of the Burning Fire Bird. The little bird was about to break out of its shell! ¡°Go away, I¡¯ll incubate the eggs!¡± ¡°Argh?¡± Dumby was thrown to the side by Luo Yu, who was holding the little bird that was about to hatch. He said gently, ¡°Come, come out quickly. Little Phoenix, come out quickly!¡± As he thought this, a notification appeared. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. Your egg incubation efficiency has increased by 100 times. There is a chance of hatching mutated creatures.] A critical hit notification appeared, and the crack on the bird egg in Luo Yu¡¯s arms became more and more intense. In the next moment, a small head poked out, and after struggling a few times, it broke out of the shell. Due to the critical hit, its growth speed was quite fast. In a short while, it grew to the size of a hen. [Female Chicken: With sufficient food, it can lay at least three eggs per day.] ¡°Chicken?¡± Looking at the hen in his arms rubbing against him intimately, the corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. The Burning Fire Bird had actually mutated into a chicken. Was this a mutation and not a degeneration? Speaking of which, if a chicken degenerated, it should be a dinosaur, right? However, it was quite ridiculous to lay three eggs a day. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Coo-hoo.¡± The hen jumped down from Luo Yu¡¯s arms and ran out of the door to peck at some insects. Seeing this, Luo Yu hurriedly ordered, ¡°Don¡¯t leave the base and don¡¯t eat the crops in the vegetable field.¡± ¡°Coo-hoo.¡± The hen cawed and started pecking on its own. Alright, there would be eggs to eat every day in the future. His nutrition would be balanced. As Luo Yu built a hen¡¯s nest, he received a notification: [Fang Yumeng has invited you to join a group chat. Do you accept?] Group chat. This was a smaller chat channel than the regional chat channel. In fact, there were quite a lot of people in this region. There were 10,000 of them, but over the past few days, everyone had more or less formed a small clique. Most of them were from the same race and chatted together. It would be faster to spam the regional chat, so people began to establish small group chat rooms. After accepting it, as expected, other than Fang Yumeng, there was also Na Ke¡¯er, Niu Da, Alice, and Alina. Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Luo Yu is here? Everyone is finally here.¡± Niu Da: ¡°You¡¯re finally here. I was the only male in the group chat just now. It was quite awkward.¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Eh? Where¡¯s Zhu Lie? Why didn¡¯t you pull him?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°We¡¯re not familiar with each other. Just the few of us will do. By the way, Luo Yu, how¡¯s the fish pond going?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I¡¯m done digging it. I¡¯ll continue fishing tomorrow.¡± There was also a screenshot of the fish pond. Fang Yumeng: ¡°My two sisters are asking you, what¡¯s your physique? How can you dig out a fish pond of this size in two days alone?¡± Luo Yu replied, ¡°A little more than a normal person. It¡¯s average.¡± Fang Yumeng said, ¡°Physique is really important. My two sisters and I are both at 9 points. I feel that sometimes, we can¡¯t do much.¡± As she spoke, she sent a screenshot of her physique. Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Eh? I heard that human males only have 10 points. The three of you have 9 points. That¡¯s not bad. I only have 10 points. My younger sister only has 8 points.¡± Niu Da: ¡°My physique is 18, and my strength is 16. I will protect you!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°No need!¡± Alina said, ¡°Humans are so thin and weak. We female elves have at least 15 points in agility and physique. Alice, are you already in the twenties?¡± Alice said, ¡°Well, around twenty points.¡± Fang Yumeng and Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Wow! The two elf sisters are so powerful!¡± Alina asked, ¡°Luo Yu, how many points in your physique does a stupid man like you have?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°It¡¯s not high. It¡¯s not much.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°What¡¯s not high?!¡± Luo Yu thought for a moment. Everyone in the group was familiar with each other, and they usually had a good relationship, so it was better to reveal a little. ¡°I made some money. I have a lot of points in my physique.¡± He even sent a screenshot of his physique stat. [Physique: 30] Fang Yumeng: ¡°!!!¡± Niu Da: ¡°You are the real blood bull!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°A strong man!¡± Alice said, ¡°Oh my¡­ I¡¯m surprised.¡± Alina: ¡°How, how is that possible? How can a mere human male have such a high physique!¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Us three girls combined don¡¯t have as many points in the physique stat as you¡­¡± ¡°What a¡­ ridiculous man!¡± Luo Yu¡¯s face revealed a hint of smugness as he chuckled and said, ¡°I was just lucky. Let¡¯s get to work. I won¡¯t chat anymore.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Wait a minute! What¡¯s the name of our small group?!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Hmm¡­ Your name has the rain character, and there are two elven girls. Let¡¯s call you Rain Spirit Xiao Zhu?¡± ¡°Good!¡± This name received unanimous approval. Luo Yu smiled faintly and continued to work. After cutting stones for a while, the total length of the wall reached 300 meters. Looking at the wall that was about to be completed, Luo Yu could not wait. He directly entered the mine and started mining again! With his current strength and physique, coupled with his LV4 mining level, his mining efficiency could be said to have soared. Before the sun set, the black spotted stones and other ores he dug out piled up into a small mountain. If not for Dumby helping to move them, the Golden-shelled Beetle would not have been able to move them all. After dinner, Luo Yu built a bonfire and cut the stones overnight to make up the last section of the wall. It was completed! The wall, which was originally expected to take twenty days to complete, only took eight days to complete. The wall was 100 meters long and five meters tall on all four sides. There were stone doors on all four sides, and there were stairs leading up from the inside of the wall, giving people a heavy sense of security. Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction and looked at the time. It was already midnight. He hurriedly took a shower and went to bed. When he woke up in the morning, he looked out of the window and realized that the wall had been erected, but the view was not as good as before. If he wanted to have a good view, he would have to build a three-story villa. That was just a fantasy. For now, it was better to be a watchtower. He first went to the fish pond to fill the water. As the effect of the bait had decreased, he only caught 450 units of fish and prawns this time. Luo Yu did not sell them. He decided to keep this batch for himself to eat slowly. After eating a boiled egg, an apple, and half a crucian carp for breakfast, Luo Yu opened the building page in high spirits. 15-meter watchtower: [1,000 wood, 200 stones, 100 silver] This watchtower could also be used as a shooting tower. From above, one could obtain the high ground, but it was a little expensive. There were still 1,000 units of stone, but there was no more wood left. The grove that was near the territory had been cut down. Every day, he needed wood to start a fire. What¡¯s more, he also needed a large amount of wood to make bows and arrows. Especially in winter, without wood to start a fire, one might freeze to death. He had to plan ahead. Only then did Luo Yu realize that wood was a relatively difficult resource to obtain on this plain. As for cutting down trees in the purple mountain range, after paying attention to the world chat channel and other news sources for the past few days, Luo Yu learned that there was an air wall at the edge of the territory that blocked the trial-takers. If he wanted to leave on foot, he had to spend a large amount of silver to unlock technology. At the same time, Luo Yu also learned that the range of the air wall could be expanded. In other words, the territory could be expanded, but it also required unlocking technology and spending a large amount of resources to expand. There was no need to think about that now. Wood was so precious that Luo Yu was very concerned about it. He could not cut down that small grove anymore. He opened the auction house and prepared to buy some with silver. After a search, he realized that 1 unit of wood was only sold for 1 silver! A tree basically produced 10 units of wood. In other words, a tree was only 10 silver. This was the case where everyone¡¯s initial location was a plain, and each person could only have one forest. Wasn¡¯t wood too cheap? However, on second thought, Luo Yu seemed to understand. Nowadays, people were still worried about food. Who could build a watchtower like him? It was not yet time to use wood on a large scale, and everyone was near forests, which made wood very cheap. At this moment, Luo Yu¡¯s advantage as the first-mover was revealed.

Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Without any hesitation, he directly bought 2,000 units of wood. 2,000 silver for 2,000 wood. It was a huge profit. [Please choose where you want to place it.] Luo Yu chose to place the wood by a wall. He then opened the building page and began to build a watchtower. After a while, a 15-meter tall watchtower was built. It was built at the corner where the walls on both sides met. When he climbed up to take a look, he felt a sense of superiority. Luo Yu felt that shooting arrows or throwing javelins from this place could increase the effective range and power of the weapons. This watchtower could not completely cover the defense of the base. Luo Yu¡¯s plan was to install a watchtower at all four corners of the wall so that he could cover all angles. At that time, he could also install things like automatic crossbow launchers to ensure the safety of the base. Currently, he still had 5,300 silver coins that could be used to built the other three watchtowers. However, before that, Luo Yu first planned to make bows and arrows. There were javelins for long-range combat and the Heavenly Crafting Saber for close combat. There was no doubt that bows and arrows were the best for medium-range combat. [Iron Body Bow: 300 iron ore, 100 silver, 1 animal tendon] There was enough iron ore and silver for the time being, but there were no animal tendons. As expected, he also could not find them when he opened the auction house. Everyone had the need for bows and arrows. Moreover, animal tendons were also food. They might have been cooked and eaten. ¡°Where can I find a cow tendon?¡± Luo Yu touched his chin and looked at Dumby, who was playing with the chicken below. Then, he looked at the Golden-shelled Beetle pulling the mining cart in the distance and shook his head. These two were clearly not qualified, and he could not bear to kill them. Just as he was at a loss, the system suddenly notified him: [A group of wandering cattle has entered your area. They will stay nearby for 1 to 2 days.] Luo Yu¡¯s eyes widened. Just as he was thinking about getting a cow tendon, a group of cattle actually wandered over?! Sure enough, Luo Yu, who was standing on the watchtower, discovered three white cattle walking over from the purple mountain range and entering his territory. [Wandering Cattle: Wild 90%, Neutral Creature] Fang Yumeng: ¡°There¡¯s a cow! Aiya, it¡¯s going to my fruit forest!¡± Niu Da: ¡°I¡¯m much more handsome than those cows! F*ck, don¡¯t eat my grass!¡± Alice: ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t touch those cows. If you anger them, you will take the initiative to attack!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Oh no, a cow is going to my vegetable field. My food! i¡¯m going to kill it! I¡¯m agile enough!¡± Alina said, ¡°I advise you to think carefully. Even if you are agile enough, can your cabin withstand the impact of their horns?¡± Na Ke Er: ¡°Sigh¡­ You¡¯re right. If they turn into an enemy unit, they won¡¯t attack people but will instead attack buildings.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do either. I have to hunt it!¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Should I try to tame it?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Don¡¯t. An animal with 90% wildness has a very low of being tamed. If you fail to tame it, it will take the initiative to attack you!¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you!¡± The chat group exclaimed. Seeing how thick these cows were, everyone seemed a little helpless. They could only watch as they nibbled on their vegetable field and grass. This seemed like an ordinary incident, but it posed a threat to the crops in their territory! Luo Yu looked at the three cattle that were swaying over and walking towards the bamboo forest and frowned slightly. Don¡¯t tell me they want to eat my bamboo shoots? How could he tolerate this? Luo Yu said, ¡°I have a wall here, so I¡¯ll test the combat power of a cow for you first!¡± Fang Yumeng and Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Be careful!¡± Luo Yu was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he sized them up carefully. Under his observation, he realized that there were two cows and a bull among the three cattle. That bull was extremely strong and probably weighed 1,500 catties. It looked to be comparable to a rhinoceros. Luo Yu did not want to fight them head-on, as it was not a wise move. However, although the bull was strong, Luo Yu¡¯s critical hit today had not been used. With it, he had the ability to kill it in one strike. He looked at the javelin. The distance was a little far. Although he could throw it over with his strength, his aim would definitely be poor. Moreover, if he threw it into the bamboo forest, it would definitely lower his accuracy. After thinking for a while, he had an idea. A moment later, Luo Yu opened the stone gate and said to Dumby beside him, ¡°Infuriate those three cattle and run back!¡± ¡°Woo¡­¡± With this order, not only did Dumby not show any fear, but it let out a bloodthirsty roar. Its expression was ferocious, displaying the demeanor of a wild wolf. The next moment, Dumby rushed straight into the bamboo forest! ¡°Moo!¡± The three cattle were shocked and hurriedly retreated, but Dumby rushed forward to bite the hind leg of a female cow! Moo! The bull immediately flew into a rage and charged at Dumby with its horns. If not for Dumby¡¯s agility, it would have been hit. [The three cattle are enraged and are in a hostile state.] The bull was even angrier when it missed. It rushed towards the fleeing Dumby. The two cows were also in a hostile state. On the grassland, three huge cows chased after a green wolf. Dust flew all the way. Luo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the distance of 200 meters. He then shouted, ¡°Die!¡± He used all his strength to throw the javelin. Although he did not use a critical hit this time, the speed of the javelin was still extremely fast. It carried a strong wind and rushed out. After all, he had more than 30 points of strength! However, to Luo Yu¡¯s surprise, the javelin flew past the bull¡¯s scalp and missed! Lv3 shooting was indeed not high. At this level, with a distance of more than 100 meters, his hit rate was only 20%¡­ ¡°Huh?¡± The corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth twitched. It was already too late for him to shoot another javelin. He stood at the crack of the gate and shouted, ¡°Quick, Dumby, come in!¡± Dumby ran very fast, and with a swoosh, it slipped through the gap in the door. The next moment, Luo Yu directly closed the stone door and reinforced it with a wooden stick! After doing all this, he quickly ran up the wall and saw the three angry cattle running over. It looked like they were going to break open the stone gate with force! BANG! With a loud bang, Luo Yu felt the entire wall shake. Then, there were another two bangs as the three cattle slammed into the stone gate one after another. Under the huge force, cracks appeared on the stone gate. The wooden stick tied to the gate broke, but the three cattle were also lying on the ground. He was stunned! Luo Yu was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. No matter how hard your head was, could it be tougher than a gate made out of black spotted stone? ¡°Are they dead?¡± Just as Luo Yu was feeling curious, the bull in the middle actually stood up shakily. It rubbed its body against the two cows and realized that they were motionless. Its blood-red eyes stared at Luo Yu above, and its burly body began to spin restlessly under the stone gate. ¡°You can still get up?¡± ¡°Strong!¡± Luo Yu was a little shocked, but he had already made up his mind to deal with these three cattle. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Yu went down the wall and took a new piece of wood to tie the stone gate. Then, he carried two black spotted stones and walked up the wall. ¡°Get down for me!¡± He threw a piece down hard and hit the bull¡¯s head with a bang, causing it to sway for a while. It did not continue to wait for the cows and started to escape. ¡°You want to leave?¡± Another piece of stone was thrown over and accurately exploded on its head. Luo Yu¡¯s strength value of more than 30 points was vividly reflected. The bull was smashed to the ground on the spot and spat out blood again. However, what was shocking was that this bull was really too strong. After being injured, it just shook its head and stood up again. ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Yu was furious. When he saw the Golden-shelled Beetle swaying and pulling the cart not far away, he rushed over and raised the Golden-shelled Beetle, using it as a large stone to smash it at the bull! The Golden-shelled Beetle¡¯s shell was much harder than rocks. Moreover, it was huge. The beetle knew that its master was using it as a rock to attack the enemy, so it tactfully did not spread its wings. Instead, it really treated itself as a rock! BANG! The huge Golden-shelled Beetle was slammed onto the bull. The bull screamed and lay on the ground, spitting out blood, unable to get up again. Luo Yu jumped down from the wall and walked to the bull. Under its helpless gaze, he patted the bull¡¯s horn and said in a low voice, ¡°Tame!¡± Then, there was a flash of light, indicating that it had failed. ¡°Again, tame!¡± There was a flash of light again and another failure. There was still one last chance. Luo Yu could use the Hundredfold Critical Hit, but he would rather use it on a cow. After all, a cow could produce milk, while a bull could not. If he couldn¡¯t tame it, he would slaughter it and eat it. Sensing the killing intent in Luo Yu¡¯s eyes, the bull felt even more helpless. I also want you to successfully tame me, but your Beast Taming level is too low! ¡°Submit to me or die!¡± ¡°Tame!¡± With a light shout, another light flashed! [You have tamed a bull with a 37% success rate.] Success. Luo Yu¡¯s eyes revealed joy. The bull weakly stuck out its tongue and licked Luo Yu¡¯s palm. The taming was successful! [Warning, the bull is in a state of near death. If it is not treated, it will die in 2 hours.] ¡°What?¡± Luo Yu was shocked. He did not have any medicinal herbs! He hurriedly opened the auction house to search for herbs and found some herbs on the shelves. They were priced at 300 silver per piece. Some people were probably lucky enough to dig wild mature herbs on the grassland. At this stage, herbs were life-saving items, so the price was ridiculously high. Anyway, he had no choice but to buy it. After feeding the bull a herb, the notification indicated that it would die in five hours. Finally, it was not two hours. After buying two more herbs to feed, the notification finally indicated that it would not die. After being healed, the bull crawled up with difficulty and licked Luo Yu to express its gratitude. If he wanted it to regain its original strong appearance, he would need a few days to recuperate. After saving the bull, he hurriedly looked at the two cows. He realized that one of the cows had already dead after being hit on the wrong spot. The other one also looked like it was on the verge of death. Luo Yu had failed to tame it twice in a row, so he decided to use the critical hit opportunity for the third time. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. Your beast taming efficiency has increased by 100 times.] [You have tamed a cow with a 100% success rate.] He had tamed it, but the cow was still also on the verge of death. So, Luo Yu had to spend another 900 silver coins to buy three herbs to save it. The cow also licked Luo Yu. It looked very intimate, but it also looked weak. At this moment, Luo Yu realized that the cow¡¯s milk was dripping. He quickly bought a wooden bucket from the mall and placed it under the cow. He could not waste any of the milk, so he immediately began to milk it. Good lord, he squeezed out an entire bucket of milk. [Milk: 25 units] The calculation method of food was basically: 1 unit = 1 catty. In total, he squeezed out 25 catties of milk. He looked at the auction house. 1 unit of milk = 40 silver. He had actually earned back the money for the herbs! Luo Yu was overjoyed. At this stage of where there was a shortage of food, this cow was his money-making machine! He hugged the cow and kissed her hard. He patted the butts of the two cattle and smiled. ¡°You can eat anything but the crops. Eat as much grass as you want.¡± ¡°Also, don¡¯t go near the lake. Be careful not to be eaten.¡± ¡°Moo!¡± After being tamed, animals could understand simple orders. The two cattle let out a cry and wagged their tails as they began to graze inside the city wall. After spending 5 silver and 20 stones to repair the damaged stone gate, there was news in the group chat. Fang Yumeng: ¡°Is Luo Yu still alive?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°The cow knocked into the stone wall and fainted. I¡¯ve already dealt with it.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Pfft, haha, stupid cow!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, my cow seems to be quite close to me.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Eh? Close? Don¡¯t tell me you have some hidden beast taming talent?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Hmm¡­ When I looked at the interface previously, I seemed to have a personal talent. Let me take a look again.¡± Everyone: ¡°Personal talent?! Oh my god, you are really lucky!¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a three-star beast taming talent.¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I recommend that you try to tame it. If you fail, run.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Eh? What should I do if this cow charges at me?!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Be brave.¡± ¡°Alright! We believe you!¡± After Fang Yumeng responded, she stopped talking and seemed to have begun to try. Luo Yu asked, ¡°How many cows have entered your territory?¡± ¡°One!¡± Everyone said that it was one. Some were bulls, and some were cows, but they all had just one. Luo Yu frowned. He did not say that three cattle had entered his base. After thinking for a moment, he more or less understood the reason. His Base Score was already 180 points, which should be three to five times higher than the others. Therefore, the intensity of the incident had increased! ¡°This is a snowball setting.¡± After understanding the key point, Luo Yu knew that more development was the key. The faster the development, the better, and the bigger the snowball. Of course, he could not blindly increase the rating of the buildings. Everything had to be defended. As the milk today was produced when the cow was injured, Luo Yu felt that he might be unlucky if he drank it, so he directly put it up for auction. Soon, it was sold for 1,000 silver. Next was to deal with the corpse of the other cow. The automatic technology had not been unlocked, so he could not create an automatic slaughter table.Therefore, Luo Yu could only do it himself. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Crafting Saber and enough strength. In half an hour, he dealt with the cow¡¯s huge body. Coincidentally, the 100-fold bait in the fish pond had lost its effect. Luo Yu directly threw the internal organs that he did not eat into the fish pond as bait. Beef was money, and money was attribute points! He took advantage of the high price and sold it quickly! The beef was sold out very quickly, and another 5,000 silver was in his hands. Luo Yu looked at the amount of silver he had. 9,500. It was a huge sum of money. It seemed like it was not that difficult to earn money! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 20 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This time, he directly bought six attribute points. Strength, Agility, and Constitution increased by 2 points each. He looked at the interface and felt comfortable again. Strength: 35 Physique: 32 Agility: 32 Speaking of which, he had obtained a cow tendon, which he needed to make a bow! Without any hesitation, Luo Yu chose to make an iron bow. After confirming it, a light flashed in front of his eyes, and an iron bow appeared. He pulled the bowstring to test it. Needless to say, it was quite exciting! He spent another 60 wood, 60 iron ore, and 60 silver to make 30 arrows. Although they were not as effective as feather arrows, he did not have any bird feathers, so he could only make do with them. Luo Yu¡¯s current physique was considered to have thick skin and thick flesh. He no longer needed to wear the special finger holster to protect his fingers when pulling a bow. He directly drew the bow and shot out an arrow with a bang. The speed of the arrow was very fast before landing at a distance of 150 meters. This was not the limit of Luo Yu¡¯s strength, but it had already reached the limit of the range of the Iron Body Bow. The limit of an ordinary bow was only about a hundred meters, and its performance was considered not bad. At this moment, Fang Yumeng finally spoke in the group chat. ¡°Oh my god, it worked!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t tame the cow the first two times, but the third time, I succeeded!¡± ¡°Congratulations!¡± For a moment, the group chat was filled with congratulatory voices. Luo Yu said, ¡°Hurry up and milk her. There will be a surprise!¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Yes! Without your words, the three of us girls might not have the courage to provoke a cow. Thank you!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Courage is your own. Why are you thanking me? Hurry up and get busy.¡± Fang Yumeng stopped talking. Na Ke¡¯er seemed to be in a fierce battle with her cow and did not speak. However, Alina said, ¡°Luo Yu, why do you know about the milk?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have a bull?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I also have a cow.¡± Niu Da: ¡°Hiss! Your Base Score is twice as high as ours?!¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I¡¯m not sure? I just built some walls. I¡¯m not too sure about the details.¡± Alina said, ¡°You nasty man, you¡¯re actually pretending! I won¡¯t lose to you!¡± The corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth curled up, but he did not reply. Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°That stupid cow ran into my trap. It¡¯s dead meat!¡± It seemed like the Cat Girl had been settled. Luo Yu looked at the regional channel. Unlike his small group, the regional channel was filled with wailing. Some were hit by cows, some had their vegetable fields eaten by cows, and some even had their houses collapsed by cows. He opened the world chat channel again. This region was filled with wandering cows. Some of the regions were attacked by wolves, some encountered abnormal weather, and some had flooded lakes. There were endless disasters. Everyone lived very hard and worked hard to survive and become stronger. This was the meaning of life for all living beings in the universe. Luo Yu closed the chat channel and looked at the Golden-shelled Beetle pulling the mining cart in the distance. Without saying anything, he continued to cut stones and work hard for the goal of having a mansion! As the sun set, Luo Yu soaked in the bathtub after dinner. There were two cattle and a wolf lying beside him. He felt that he had become a primitive human and had regained the feeling of being an ancestor of humans. He clicked into the arena. There were still two hours before the battle with Autumn Leaf. Luo Yu discovered that there was a Zerg Trial Tester in the Black Iron rank who had actually opened a room for 1,000 silver. In the arena, Ebon was already considered an expert. Here, everyone was an expert, so who was afraid of who? Luo Yu paid the bet and clicked on it. ¡°Yu is here. He¡¯s going against the Zergs again!¡± ¡°Room 6363, gather quickly and cheer for the Blood Spider!¡± ¡°6363, Brother Yu is here. Gather your fans!¡± For a time, humans and Zergs surged into the arena, and the amount of viewers kept increasing. In the empty room, a spider man with a man¡¯s upper body and a spider¡¯s lower body was looking at Luo Yu coldly. This spider¡¯s overall form was very similar to a spider spirit in Journey to the West. It was the kind that tempted men. Unfortunately, this guy in front of him was a male, so there was nothing to look at. Luo Yu did not say a word. ¡°Three, two, one! Begin!¡± When the countdown ended, the spider monster opened his mouth and spat out a white spider web that shot towards Luo Yu! ¡°Huh?¡± This was the first time Luo Yu had received a long-range attack. Fortunately, his agility was high enough and he easily dodged it. However, the spider monster¡¯s frequency of spitting spider webs was very fast, and more than ten spider webs were spat out! ¡°Petty tricks!¡± However, Luo Yu¡¯s agility was just too high. Although he did not have any martial arts techniques or movement techniques, it was very difficult for him to be hit with just his 32 points of agility. All the spider webs were dodged. Even then, he did not rush forward rashly. Instead, a light flashed in his hand and a bow appeared! ¡°A bow! He made a bow?!¡± ¡°There are less than ten people in the entire arena who has bows. He also has one?!¡± ¡°Oh no! This is bad!¡± The Zergs were shocked. This human was already very fierce in close combat. Now that he had long-range capabilities, he was now very difficult to deal with! Swoosh! An arrow shot out. His strength was high to begin with, and with the 50% increase in the power of the [Zerg Nemesis] talent, the speed of the arrow was as fast as lightning! The man-spider could not dodge in time and was shot in the leg. The leg was broken on the spot! The man-spider thought that Luo Yu was aiming for his legs and said angrily, ¡°How dare you insult me? You¡¯re courting death!¡± ¡°Tu tu tu!¡± More spider webs shot out! ¡°I want to shoot your head, but my aim is not good!¡± Luo Yu cursed in his heart. Another light flashed in his hand, and the Heavenly Crafting Saber appeared in his left hand. With a series of slashes, he cut open all the spider webs! ¡°F*ck!¡± Everyone watching the battle was shocked. He could cut open spider webs in the air with one hand. What high agility and strength! Suddenly, the man-spider stopped spewing out spider webs. His expression was gloomy as he looked at the Heavenly Crafting Saber in Luo Yu¡¯s hand. For a moment, he was in a dilemma. ¡°Are you done spraying spider webs?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my turn!¡± Luo Yu sneered and nocked an arrow. The arrow flew out. The spider man did not have Luo Yu¡¯s agility attribute. After barely blocking a few arrows, he was hit ten times in a row, breaking six legs and one hand. The other three arrows into his chest, and he died. [K.O!] [Your shooting level has increased to LV4] ¡°I even leveled up?¡± Luo Yu was secretly delighted. He collected 1,000 yuan from the bet and 1,500 yuan from the audience and left the room. After that, Luo Yu found two more Zergs to ¡°spar¡± with. Although he only earned 300 silver, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat! [The time for the challenge has arrived. Do you want to enter the battle room to fight Autumn Leaf?] Confirm! Luo Yu entered the battle room, and Autumn Leaf arrived on time. She snorted coldly and said, ¡°Yu, how much are you prepared to bet on this battle?¡± Luo Yu smiled faintly and said, ¡°Silver is precious. It¡¯s just a spar. There¡¯s no need to be angry. Let¡¯s bet on something else.¡± ¡°If you win, I¡¯ll promise you one thing as long as it¡¯s within my capabilities. However, if I win, you have to promise me one thing. How about that?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 21 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°You¡­¡± Autumn Leaf instinctively clutched her chest and said angrily, ¡°In your dreams! I won¡¯t let you do whatever you want. Take this!¡± The countdown had already ended, and this woman directly pounced on him! Luo Yu knew that she had misunderstood, so he did not use a weapon and also faced her bare-handed. After just a few exchanges, Autumn Leaf was no longer able to withstand it. Her martial arts technique had indeed improved, but she could not withstand the explosive increase in Luo Yu¡¯s strength, physique, and agility! After twenty rounds, Autumn Leaf was pressed to the ground by Luo Yu. ¡°If you lose, according to the agreement, you have to promise me one thing!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yu clearly felt the woman beneath him tremble slightly. Although her expression could not be seen clearly, Autumn Leaf¡¯s voice was trembling. ¡°You¡­ What are you doing!¡± ¡°Let go of me, you bastard, pervert!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I won¡¯t do anything to you.¡± Although Luo Yu said that, he still rode on Autumn Leaf and said in a low voice, ¡°Tell me, where did you get your martial arts technique?¡± ¡°Martial arts¡­¡± ¡°Is that what you wanted to ask?¡± Seeing Luo Yu nod, Autumn Leaf let out a sigh of relief and said, ¡°I can tell you, but can you let me get up?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was in a hurry.¡± After Luo Yu released her, Autumn Leaf composed herself and said, ¡°I got my martial arts technique by fishing in the lake.¡± ¡°Fishing¡­¡± Luo Yu said in surprise, ¡°Could it be that the monster in the lake is dead?¡± ¡°How is that possible!¡± Autumn Leaf said angrily, ¡°Even a bronze-level expert might not be able to defeat that big black fish. I naturally have my ways, but I won¡¯t tell you!¡± ¡°Well ¡­¡± Luo Yu frowned slightly. What method did she use to safely fish for a martial arts technique? Seeing Luo Yu fall silent, Autumn Leaf snorted. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about trying. This is my innate ability. You¡¯re courting death if you try!¡± ¡°That¡¯s all I have to say. Let¡¯s fight again in three days. I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t defeat you!¡± As she spoke, she disappeared. Luo Yu also left the arena. He lay in the bathtub and looked at the starry sky. He muttered to himself, ¡°Fang Yumeng and Autumn Leaf are the same. Looks like I¡¯m not the only one with special talent¡­¡± ¡°This world is really something to look forward to¡­¡± A faint smile appeared on his lips, as if he had infinite expectations and imagination for tomorrow. When he woke up in the morning, he found the two cattle sleeping at the door of his house. Not far away, there were two lumps of cow dung that looked dirty. When he saw the base¡¯s hygiene score, it fell. It was probably because there were too many animals and it was unhygienic. It was time to build a beast taming ranch. Not only could this beast taming ranch accommodate livestock, but it could also purify the excrement of livestock on its own. While increasing the hygiene score, it could also increase the success rate of beast taming. Luo Yu did not know why building a ranch could increase the success rate of a person¡¯s beast taming, but he just needed to know that the Heavenly Dao World was a magical place. The beast taming ranch was temporarily built within the walls as a cheaper option. After the base expanded, he would build a better one. After demarcating an area in a corner of the wall, Luo Yu opened the construction interface. [Beast Taming Ranch (Beginner): Building Materials*3,000, Silver*500] Yesterday, he had cut a large pile of stones. Coupled with the stone bricks he had left behind, he could afford the 3,000 units needed to build the ranch. After confirming it, a ranch appeared in front of him. There were two livestock sheds and a pile of grass and other common things. The area was not big, only 20 square meters. It was mainly for animals to sleep and to automatically clean their excrement. He looked at the attributes of the beast taming ranch. On top of the beast taming level, it could increase the success rate of beast taming by 10%. In addition, it increased the output of animals by 10%. In other words, the cow that originally produced 25 units of milk a day now produced 27.5 units. This was good. In the long run, it would definitely be profitable. He looked at the hygiene score and indeed, it went up in an instant. He was now at 55 and was about to get a passing score! The Base Score had also increased. It was currently at 200. Next, he went to the fish pond and collected the spoils. As there was no special bait, he only gained 30 units of fish and shrimp today, and this was the result of the organs of the cow into the pond. It could be seen how awesome the 100-fold bait was. There were still many fish and prawns left. Luo Yu put 200 units of fish and prawns on auction and earned 1,600 silver. Then, he sent the fresh ones he had obtained today into the icehouse. It would be better if it was fresh! Then, when he went to milk the cow, he had an idea. Could milking be a critical hit? Thinking of this, he muttered in his heart and squeezed hard! [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered] The cow cried out in pain and the milk flowed into the wooden bucket. Luo Yu could see clearly that the color of the mild squeezed out this time was different from before. It seemed to be purer. [Special Milk: Its nutritional value is extremely high. Every unit consumed can maintain 100% satiety a day.] [Note: The smell of this special milk is extremely attractive to creatures.] After squeezing a total of 10 units of special milk, the cow collapsed on the ground and panted heavily. Luo Yu looked at the half bucket of milk with joy in his eyes. As expected, it was a critical hit. 10 units were equivalent to ten days of rations! Just as he was about to try it, he saw Dumby running over and wagging its tail crazily at the wooden bucket, looking like it wanted to drinking it. ¡°Special attraction to animals?¡± Luo Yu stroked his chin and stopped Dumby from secretly drinking it. He then placed the milk in the ice cellar. He had a plan. After the milk was completely frozen, he would make it into milk cubes or milk flakes. Perhaps it would have a miraculous effect at the critical moment! After breakfast, he was not in a hurry to cut stones. Instead, he bought a batch of saplings, vegetables, and carrot seeds from the auction house. Crop seeds were a little expensive, but saplings were still quite cheap. At this moment, no one had realized the importance of wood yet. After spending a total of 1,500 silver, Luo Yu bought plowing tools from the mall and put them on the big bull, allowing it to start plowing the wasteland! In the past, he did not have enough labor, so he could not do so many things alone. But, now that he had a cow, he could naturally open up a few more vegetable fields. After planning everything, he continued to cut stones. Now, even the livestock shed was made of stone, but he still lived in a wooden house. This was unbearable! Work! Work hard towards the big villa! Three days passed in this manner. These three days could be said to be calm and peaceful. With Luo Yu¡¯s hard work, he saved up 20,000 units of stone. In addition, he sold the remaining milk and seafood that he had fished up. In fact, even if these things were placed in an icehouse, their shelf life would not be long. After earning more than 5,000 silver in three days, the total amount of silver he had returned to the pleasing number of 10,000.

Chapter 22 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The newly cultivated vegetables and radishes had been successfully planted. The batch of camphor tree saplings that he had bought had also been planted at the edge of the territory. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Three days of critical hit opportunities were saved up. Today, Luo Yu came to the mine again to dig a big one! After chanting in his heart, he swung his pickaxe! [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered] THUD! A basin-sized silver ore rolled down. Looking down, it was actually silver! [Silver: 10,000 units] ¡°That¡¯s a lot of money!¡± Luo Yu was delighted, but a notification immediately came. [Warning, you have awakened the Silver-armored Ladybug.] In an instant, a silver ladybug the size of a calf flew out and collided with Luo Yu. ¡°Hit a rock with an egg.¡± Luo Yu sneered and was not afraid at all. He pulled out the Heavenly Crafting Saber and slashed out. BANG! With a crisp sound, the blade of the Heavenly Crafting Saber hit the Silver-armored Ladybug, making a crisp sound like metal colliding. The Silver-armored Ladybug was sent flying and landed heavily on the rock wall. Their strength was not on the same level. Luo Yu did not waste any time and directly used his beast taming technique. [Beast taming failed.] [Ding! Taming successful. You have successfully tamed the Silver-armored Ladybug with a 37% success rate.] [Silver-armored Ladybug: Strength 16, Constitution 6, Agility 20, Special Ability: Devour silver to spit out silver essence.] ¡°D*mn, this bug is very fierce!¡± Its attribute surprised Luo Yu slightly. It also had a special ability! However, silver was very precious now, and silver essence was not useful for strengthening weapons at the moment. Naturally, Luo Yu would not let this ladybug eat his silver. After spending a medicinal herb to heal the Silver-armored Ladybug, the silver ladybug flew around Luo Yu intimately. Needless to say, it was quite beautiful. It could fly and its agility was quite high. Not bad. Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction and started mining again. He worked for half a day until his stomach rumbled. Then, he stopped work and went back to eat. He would have a taste of the special milk. When he entered the ice cellar, the rich milky fragrance in the air made him intoxicated and comfortable. ¡°Is this the fragrance that can attract creatures?¡± At this moment, the special milk had already been frozen. Luo Yu cut off one unit of milk ice and sat outside the house to heat the milk. However, something surprising happened when he heated it up. The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and it spread out, causing the entire territory to be filled with fragrance. Plop! In the distance, the big black fish in the lake actually fluttered. It seemed that the fragrance was very attractive to it. However, the big black fish did not swim over. Even if it swam over, it would be useless. If it did, it might even be stranded on the shallow shore of the small lake. Seeing this scene, Luo Yu vaguely had an idea. At this moment, a notification appeared: [The fragrance of the special milk has attracted a large number of Stone-Armored Turtles. They will get the special milk at all costs.] ¡°What?¡± Luo Yu was shocked. He looked at the chat group and the regional channel, but there was no movement at all. In other words, the attack was aimed at him alone! Attacks were good. Attacks were both filled with danger and opportunity. If Luo Yu had not been attacked, he would not have developed so quickly. He climbed up the watchtower and indeed, ten turtles crawled from the east one after another. These turtles were very big, about the size of a turtle that had lived for hundreds of years. It could even carry an adult human on its back. Their shells looked like a pile of strange rocks. It looked very ferocious and hard. However, its speed¡­ Luo Yu seemed to have noticed that the ten turtles were trying their best to crawl over, but their speed was about the same as a normal person taking a walk. When the turtles got closer, Luo Yu took out a javelin and threw it down from the watchtower. His LV4 shooting skill increased his accuracy a little, and it really pierced the largest Stone-Armored Turtle in the lead. BANG! With a muffled sound, the javelin broke into two on the spot under the huge force. The turtle shook its head in pain, and a crack appeared on its tortoise shell. ¡°It¡¯s really hard.¡± Luo Yu frowned slightly. From this, he realized that if he wanted to kill these turtles with javelins and arrows, how much would he have to waste? Only by charging down and slashing with the Heavenly Crafting Saber could he effectively kill the enemy. But he was not in a hurry. In any case, all his belongings were inside the wall. He wanted to see if the turtles could break through his wall. A moment later, the answer came. How could a turtle break through a wall made out of black spotted stone¡­ At this stage, the black spotted stone wall was like a bug. It was quite ridiculous. The ten turtles slammed into the stone gate. From time to time, their shells would hit it, but they could not even leave a white spot on the stone gate. These turtles had astonishing defense, but their attack power¡­ was far inferior to a bull. After observing for a while and confirming that these turtles could not use long-range attacks, Luo Yu climbed to the stone wall and approached a turtle to start using his beast taming skill. [Beast taming failed. Success rate: 7.1%] [Beast taming failed. Success rate: 7.9] After two consecutive failures, Luo Yu knew that he had to do something. How could he make these turtles fall into an abnormal state? His gaze swept over and finally landed on the warm [Special Milk]. A moment later, Luo Yu sat on the wall with a four to five meter long bamboo pole in his hand. At the end of the bamboo pole, there was a small wooden bucket, and in the wooden bucket was [Special Milk]. Luo Yu controlled the bamboo pole and swayed it on top the turtles¡¯ head. The fragrant smell of the Special Milk made the turtles drool, but they could not reach it. They were so anxious that they spun around and squeezed around below. However, its head was not long enough. Luo Yu felt that if he were to use a javelin now, he would be able to pierce through the turtles¡¯ necks! ¡°You can¡¯t reach it, you can¡¯t reach it.¡± Luo Yu swayed his bamboo pole and hummed a tune as he played with this group of turtles happily. Suddenly, a drop of milk splashed out of the wooden bucket and landed in the mouth of a turtle. The turtle immediately narrowed its eyes and became even more crazy to taste the delicious milk. Unfortunately, they could not reach it. ¡°Still not entering an abnormal state?¡± Luo Yu teased them for half an hour. Seeing that the turtles were still trying their best to stretch their necks, he simply tied the bamboo pole to the wall and went to cut some stone. Two hours later, as the sun set in the west, Luo Yu cut out a large pile of stones. He then went up the wall and took a look. Good lord, the turtles below looked extremely tired at this moment, but they would still raise their heads from time to time, trying to reach the wooden bucket. ¡°You¡¯ve entered a fatigue state? You can¡¯t take it anymore, right?¡± A faint smile appeared on Luo Yu¡¯s face as he used his beast taming skill on a turtle. [Beast Taming Failure: Success rate 58%] [Beast Taming Success: Success rate 61%] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 23 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯ve successfully tamed one!¡± Luo Yu was overjoyed. As expected, the success rate of taming when the subject was in an abnormal state was very high! [Stone-Armored Turtle (Female, Pregnant): Strength 11, Constitution 29, Agility 2, Special Ability: Tough Shield] Since he could tame one, he could tame most of them. Luo Yu continuously used his Beast Taming Technique. In the end, eight of the ten Stone-Armored Turtles were tamed. The largest male was also tamed. After all this, his Beast Taming Technique had reached Level 5. Unfortunately, there were still two Stone-Armored Turtles that had used up three beast taming opportunities and were still not tamed. Luo Yu could only chop off their heads with tears in his eyes. It was said that people could nourish themselves with whatever they ate. Tonight, he would eat turtles to nourish himself. It is worth mentioning that six of the eight turtles are females, and two of them are pregnant. After he was done, Luo Yu drank the Special Milk in the wooden bucket. As expected, it was delicious. After drinking it, he was no longer hungry and felt comfortable. [You have consumed special milk and gain a state of being sated (1 day)] He ordered the Stone-Armored Turtles not to go to the lake and temporarily kept them in the stream. Taking advantage of this momentum, Luo Yu began to deal with the corpses of the two Stone-Armored Turtles. He was already very familiar with butchering animals. Even a turtle could not withstand the sharpness of the Heavenly Crafting Saber. With a series of operations, he was done. Looking at his gains, he obtained a lot of turtle meat and two Stone-Armored Turtle shells in one go. At this moment, a unit of turtle meat was cooking in the pot. On the side, Dumby was about to drool, while Luo Yu was studying how to use the turtle shells. The turtle shells were indeed very hard, but when it was used as a shield, it seemed to be a little big. It also couldn¡¯t retain heat so he could not use it as a bathtub. After thinking about it, Luo Yu still planned to fix the turtle shell to the walls. It seemed to be a good shield for projectiles. He definitely could not finish the turtle meat. So, while the price of the meat was still high, he would sell it! He would sell it directly! World Channel (Anonymous): ¡°Tortoise meat that is very nutritious. One bite will leave fragrance in your mouth, and three bites will allow you to live forever. It has already been put up for auction. Don¡¯t miss it when you pass by. Come and buy it!¡± The effect of the advertisement was amazing. The turtle meat on the shelves was quickly snatched away, and Luo Yu earned a huge sum of money! Looking at his wealth, he had earned a lot this time. He had a total of 30,000 silver! Now that there was enough food, the key technology needed not only silver, but also materials. The large villa was still lacking some stone bricks. After thinking about it, Luo Yu still felt that silver was the best used to strengthen his attributes. He directly spent 20,000 silver to exchange for 20 attribute points. Luo Yu still followed the previous method of adding points and averaged it. After adding points, the interface changed greatly. Strength: 42 Physique: 39 Agility: 38 His attributes averaged out to be near 40, which was four times his initial attributes. He felt that compared to now, he was like a kindergarten child before. There was still 10,000 silver left. He decided not sell the milk he squeezed out today, nor the seafood he found. There was no hurry. He would keep it! After chatting with everyone in the group for a while, Luo Yu washed up and went to bed. In the morning, after breakfast, Luo Yu looked at the eight turtles. They were all sunbathing on the shore. Nothing else, but Luo Yu realized that these Stone-Armored Turtles could really eat. A turtle consumed 5 units of meat a day, and the fish he caught in the morning would usually enter their mouth. Of course, they could also catch fish in the stream to eat, but if one wanted to rear them completely, one had to deal with the water monsters in the lake. With 42 points of strength, he could give it a try! For the first time, Luo Yu walked to a spot 20 meters away from the lake and opened the construction page. He chose to build a 10-meter watchtower here. This was the lowest-level watchtower. Once he dealt with the big black fish, he planned to tear it down immediately. A light flashed in front of his eyes, and the watchtower was completed. Then, Luo Yu carried the 19 javelins up. He stood on the platform of the watchtower and gestured with the javelin. It felt good. A moment later, the air rippled with the fragrance of milk. A silver ladybug carried a wooden bucket and flew towards the center of the lake. It flew very high, around seven to eight meters above the lake, as if it was guarding against something. In the distant watchtower, Luo Yu¡¯s gaze was fixed on the lake. Indeed, not long after, a large black shadow appeared under the lake and was quickly flying towards the Silver-armored Ladybug. Needless to say, it must have been attracted by the [Special Milk]. ¡°Fly higher!¡± Luo Yu shouted, and the Silver-armored Ladybug¡¯s agility kicked in. It lifted the wooden bucket and suddenly rose a distance. Almost at the same time, the strange fish jumped up from the lake and pounced forward! The moment the strange fish left the water, Luo Yu clearly saw its ferocious form. Its bloody mouth could swallow a cow alive, and it looked very terrifying! ¡°Now!¡± Luo Yu shot the javelin in his hands with all his might! Swoosh! The javelin shot violently towards the black fish in the air with the sound of wind breaking! The timing was just right. When the black fish jumped to the highest point, the javelin ruthlessly stabbed into its body! The huge force caused the javelin to pierce through the scales, but it stopped before it could any further. Luo Yu also realized that there was no blood coming out. The strange fish began to fall and landed in the water with a bang! BOOM! After slamming into the water, the strange fish swam quickly in the water and actually rushed towards Luo Yu. ¡°What? The strange fish is coming for me?¡± Luo Yu frowned and drew his Heavenly Crafting Saber. Boom! The strange fish leaped out of the water again. Luo Yu could clearly see that the strange fish¡¯s eyes were looking at him with an extremely ferocious aura. This was a threat! It was a threat and a warning to kill! When it fell back into the water again, the strange fish swung its tail and splashed a wave more than ten meters high, drenching Luo Yu¡¯s clothes! ¡°How dare you humiliate me!¡± Luo Yu was furious. He picked up another javelin and took advantage of the moment when half of the strange fish¡¯s body was floating on the water to throw it. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered] This time, the javelin was like a cannonball, as if it had pierced through the air and landed on the strange fish! BANG! A ball of blood exploded, and its scales were shattered. The strange fish let out a miserable roar towards the sky and quickly dived into the water, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The surface of the lake was stained with blood, and the blood-stained ripples slowly calmed down. The Silver-armored Ladybug flew back to Luo Yu and rubbed against him intimately. However, Luo Yu frowned and did not look too good. Under the Hundredfold Critical Hit, the strange fish did not die and ran away! Oh my god! What kind of monster was this?! Luo Yu pondered on the spot and came to two conclusions. First: With bamboo as its main material, the javelin could not unleash the full power of the Hundredfold Critical Hit. With the hardness of the javelin, there was an upper limit to its damage. Secondly, there was a problem with his throwing technique! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 24 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This was not a matter of accuracy, but a matter of technique. Luo Yu recalled watching sports competitions. When the athletes threw javelins, they would spin, while he would go straight out and attack with pure brute force! ¡°I have to study how to throw a javelin.¡± After Luo Yu discovered his shortcomings, he sat on the watchtower and flipped through the shop. He had really found what he wanted. [Javelin Mastery Manual: 50,000 silver. You can throw a javelin skillfully after purchasing it.] Good lord, from the looks of it, it could be learned on the spot, but the price¡­ It was ridiculously expensive! Other than the [Javelin Mastery Manual], Luo Yu also discovered skills like the [Bow Mastery Manual] and the [Crossbow Mastery Manual] on this page. They were all 50,000 silver each, which was ridiculous. Without learning how to throw a javelin, it would be difficult to kill the black strange fish in one shot. Luo Yu knew that such monsters had strong recovery abilities and might recover in a few days. He still had to buy it! While thinking, Luo Yu climbed down the watchtower and left the Silver-armored Ladybug on it. Without Luo Yu¡¯s order, the ladybug did not move and lay on the watchtower to bask in the sun. Beside it, the [Special Milk] in the wooden bucket had also been forgotten. The milky fragrance drifted away bit by bit, and the entire territory was filled with a faint fragrance. In the afternoon, Luo Yu cut a large number of stone bricks and was about to rest when he suddenly received a notification. [Warning: A group of natives passing by have been attracted by the fragrance of milk and are preparing to attack your territory. Please be prepared.] ¡°What?! A native tribe?!¡± Luo Yu was shocked and immediately ordered all the pets outside to return to the wall, including the turtles and insects! He hurriedly climbed up the watchtower inside the city wall and looked around. Sure enough, a moment later, five native people holding various weapons and wearing tribal clothes appeared from the east. They seemed to be communicating with each other as they walked in this direction. An invasion from the native people could be said to be one of the most dangerous events, and there were five of them. Luo Yu took a closer look. The five of them looked similar to humans, and even their skin color was pale white. They looked a little like a mix of Easterners and Westerners. The difference was that their eyes were green and their hair was brown. There were five people, four men and one woman. One of them was a burly man holding an axe and a huge shield. The three other muscular men each held a sword, a spear, and a bow respectively. Luo Yu realized that the man holding the sword was quite good-looking, and the clothes on his body seemed to be more expensive. The young tribal woman also held a bow and arrow. Her appearance was alright. ¡°One tank, two warriors, two bowmen?¡± ¡°Are¡­ are they here to fight the Boss?¡± The group of native people seemed to be able to cooperate very well and they seemed to be experts. Luo Yu did not expect the Special Milk to attract such a strong invasion. If it were an ordinary person, they would have committed suicide. There was no way he could block it. The five native people slowly walked over, looking very careful. It seemed to be the first time they had seen such a tall wall. Other than the bloodthirsty killing intent in their eyes, there was also curiosity. Luo Yu could choose to ride the bull and send all the animals out to fight them head-on, but there was no need. The main solution was to use the height advantage to kill them. Hiding behind a wooden pillar in the watchtower, he saw them slowly walking over from the corner of his eye. Luo Yu did not shoot immediately, but waited for them to enter the optimal range. 200 meters 150 meters 120 meters! The five of them entered the range of 120 meters. This was the range limit of bows. They did not think that they would be attacked from the wall at this position, but Luo Yu was not an ordinary person! 120 meters was in his effective range! In the next moment, he pulled the iron bow and aimed at the man with the bow! Swoosh! The arrow shot out, but although the five of them did not discover Luo Yu¡¯s location, when they heard the sound of the bowstring, they immediately lay down! Unfortunately, Luo Yu¡¯s strength was too great, and the speed of the arrow was too fast. With a pfft, the arrow pierced into the man¡¯s chest and directly penetrated his body. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot! ¡°Shield¡± The man with the sword shouted. The burly man raised his shield and the three of them hid behind it! BANG! Just as they dodged, an arrow hit the shield. The burly man was shocked and felt his arm ache. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Sixth Prince, the strength of the person on the arrow tower is above 30.¡± ¡°So strong!¡± The female archer was obviously shocked, and the sword-wielding man called the Sixth Prince said coldly, ¡°Kill, kill all these outsiders!¡± The four of them hid behind their shields and slowly advanced. For a moment, Luo Yu could not find an angle to shoot. Instead, he grabbed a javelin beside him and prepared to forcefully pierce through the shield! Just as he threw it, an arrow was shot over and flew directly towards Luo Yu¡¯s chest. It was very accurate, but her bow was only a wooden bow. Facing a 15-meter tall watchtower and a distance of 70 to 80 meters, her arrow was already limp by the time it got near. If Luo Yu, who was agile, was hit by this arrow, he would not be able to survive. Casually pushing aside the incoming arrows, Luo Yu suddenly thrust out his javelin! Swoosh! The javelin rushed out and ruthlessly pierced the shield. With a bang, the javelin was blocked by the iron shield and bounced back. However, the huge force from it still cracked the skin between the burly man¡¯s thumb and index finger, and he could not hold the shield anymore! ¡°Black Snake!¡± The Sixth Prince shouted. The female archer called Black Snake shot out three arrows in a row. She wanted to suppress Luo Yu and prevent him from throwing javelins again in a short period of time so that they could reorganize their formation! ¡°Stupid.¡± Luo Yu casually flicked the Iron Body Bow in his hand and blocked the three arrows. Then, he shot another arrow at the female archer. Even within 120 meters, his arrow could pierce through a person¡¯s heart. Within 70 meters, his arrow was even faster. This female archer could barely dodge it! ¡°Ah!!¡± The female archer screamed. At this moment, the man with the spear shouted, ¡°Black Snake!¡± He actually stood in front of the female archer and wanted to use his spear to block the arrow! BANG! Although the spear hit the arrow, the power of the arrow was too great. The arrow only deviated from its original trajectory and was not completely blocked. ¡°Pu!¡± The arrow pierced through the shoulder of the spear-wielding man. For a moment, blood flowed profusely, and he fell to the ground, losing his combat strength. Black Snake was still in a daze, but she had already been pulled behind the shield by the Sixth Prince. The web between the thumb and forefinger of the burly man¡¯s right hand had cracked, but this time, he held the shield in his left hand and placed it in front of him. The next moment, the three people hiding behind the shields quickly rushed towards the wall! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Although Luo Yu¡¯s shooting level was LV4, it was difficult for him to aim at a running target with a javelin. He shot a few arrows in a row, and although they slowed down their advance, they were all blocked by the enemy¡¯s shield. Without skills like [Javelin Mastery] and [Bow Mastery], the effect was not good against moving targets and shields. ¡°Sou sou!¡± The female archer fired two consecutive arrows as she ran. After Luo Yu easily brushed them aside, he snorted coldly and went down the watchtower. He climbed to the wall and waited for an opportunity. Soon, the three native people rushed forward, but the problem was, how were they going to climb the wall? BANG! The burly man slammed into the stone gate and was sent flying by the recoil! ¡°Prince, this is gate made out of black spotted stone. It can¡¯t be broken!¡± Swoosh! An arrow flew over and hit the Sixth Prince¡¯s chest. However, this person seemed to be wearing a heart-protecting mirror. Although he spat out a mouthful of blood from the huge force, his life was not in danger. A trace of surprise appeared in Luo Yu¡¯s eyes, and the Sixth Prince gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Black Snake, occupy the firing point first!¡± When the burly man heard this, he threw Black Snake¡¯s petite body up the wall. However, just as she stabilized herself on the wall, she was suddenly pounced on by a Green Wolf! As she struggled with all her might, she realized that not only was the Green Wolf pressing down on her, but there was also a large number of Earth-digging Worms! Being suppressed by seven Earth-digging Worms and a Green Wolf, even if this woman was stronger than a man, she would not be able to withstand it. She was suppressed on the spot and could not move! ¡°Black Snake!¡± The Sixth Prince¡¯s eyes were filled with anger. Who would have thought that the other party would have so many animals lying in ambush on the wall? Speaking of which, how could this man have so many animals?! The burly man suggested, ¡°Prince, let¡¯s retreat!¡± ¡°This outsider is too strong!¡± Three of the five people who had come had died. Under normal circumstances, they should have fled. ¡°No!¡± The Sixth Prince said angrily, ¡°Black Snake is one of the few female archers in our tribe. We can¡¯t let her be captured!¡± ¡°That person¡¯s animals have all been used to suppress Black Snake. As long as we can get close to him on the wall, we will win!¡± ¡°Alright! Understood!¡± The burly man skillfully threw the Sixth Prince onto the wall near Luo Yu. In the next moment, the prince leaned over and grabbed the hand of the burly man who jumped up. With a sudden pull, the two of them actually went up the wall! This made Luo Yu slightly stunned. This group of people were f*cking elites, right? How could normal tribesmen climb over the wall like this? The burly man roared and slashed at Luo Yu with his ax. This ax was powerful and heavy. From the looks of it, behind the strike was probably more than 25 points of strength. As expected, they were elites. But your father beat up elites! Luo Yu only took a step back and dodged the axe. Then, he rushed forward on the spot and slashed the Heavenly Crafting Saber across the burly man¡¯s neck. Plop! The burly man¡¯s head fell to the ground, and his headless corpse fell from the wall. ¡°Mad Bull!¡± The Sixth Prince exclaimed with disbelief in his eyes. Seeing Luo Yu slowly approaching him, he was terrified. The man in front of him looked to be around 20 years old. How could a human have such powerful attribute values?! Fear overcame the courage in his heart. He actually jumped down the city wall and began to escape! [Attackers from a tribe have begun to escape. You have won the defense battle.] [You are the first human to defend a tribal invasion. You have received an additional reward: 50,000 silver] Looking at the Sixth Prince who was running for his life on the grassland in the distance, Luo Yu sneered and walked towards Black Snake that was being suppressed by Dumby. When the woman saw Luo Yu walking over, her eyes were filled with fear. She thought that she would definitely die, but fortunately, Luo Yu only tied her up with a rope. [You have captured an archer from a tribe: Black Snake] [Black Snake (Female Tribe Member): Strength 11, Constitution 11, Agility 16, Shooting LV6] ¡°This woman¡¯s attributes are not bad?¡± ¡°Sell it!¡± Luo Yu secretly made up his mind, but there was still one thing he had to do. At this moment, the Sixth Prince was fleeing for his life. He realized that his legs had never been as fast as they were now. His speed of escape seemed to have exerted his agility to the extreme. He even had the illusion that he was like a cheetah being chased by a mighty army on the grassland. Although he could not defeat it, he could easily escape. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound behind him. ¡°Horse hooves!¡± The Sixth Prince instinctively turned his head and saw a strong bull running towards him. On the bull¡¯s back was the man who frightened him! Seeing this scene, the Sixth Prince could be said to be terrified. Without looking back, he ran wildly in the direction he had come from, and his speed seemed to have increased a little! However, in the next moment, arrows flew through the air! The first arrow grazed his scalp, but the second pierced his thigh. Plop! The Sixth Prince fell to the ground. In the next moment, the sharp tip of the Heavenly Crafting Saber was already pointed at his throat. ¡°Prince, right? You¡¯ve been captured.¡± Luo Yu¡¯s cold voice sounded as he rode on the bull. The Sixth Prince looked at the man in fear and could only surrender. A moment later, the Sixth Prince, the spearman, and the archer, Black Snake, were tied up and thrown to the ground. It took seven medicinal herbs to treat the three of them before they finally stopped bleeding. The burly man and the male archer at the beginning died completely. Their corpses were thrown into a huge pit at the edge of the grassland and incinerated. Luo Yu was not crazy enough to butcher human corpses, sell human flesh, and make a human leather sofa. At this moment, Luo Yu looked at the heart-protecting mirror in his hand with satisfaction in his eyes. [Copper Gold Heart Mirror: Silver-tier defensive equipment] Silver-grade. His Heavenly Crafting Saber was only Silver-grade. Good stuff! Other than the heart-protecting mirror, the spoils of war included an iron spear, two wooden bows, a shield, an axe, and a long sword. The Sixth Prince¡¯s longsword also had reached the Black Iron level. These kinds of weapons were now priceless and very valuable. Luo Yu could make a huge profit! As for the three captives, there were several ways to deal with them. The first was subjugation. There were two types of subjugation. The first was verbal subjugation. It was very simple. Just ask him if they were convinced and if they wanted to join his territory. However, even if he persuaded him verbally, it was very difficult to guarantee loyalty in such a situation. The second type of subjugation was through recruitment. This method was similar to beast taming. Once the recruitment was successful, their loyalty would be maxed out and they would listen to their master. Luo Yu had just seen that the difficulty of recruiting these three people was 99%, and it was almost impossible for Luo Yu whose recruitment level was at LV0. If it was a critical hit, he could give it a try. However, once the recruitment was successful, it would increase the invasion rate of the other party¡¯s tribe. At least three times. At the moment, there was no need to burden his defenses. ?

Chapter 26 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Yu did not intend to recruit them. The second method was to put them up for auction. Captives could also be put up for auction, but no one had put them up for sale so far, and Luo Yu did not know how much they were suitable for. The third was the most direct, asking for a ransom. Luo Yu was leaning towards the third option. He opened the system page and looked at the captives column. Sixth Prince: Ransom 50,000 silver Black Snake: Ransom 3,000 silver Iron Spearman: Ransom 2,500 Silver As long as Luo Yu confirmed it, he could redeem them, but it was hard to guarantee that their next invasion would not happen. Currently, he was in need of money. Thus, he decided to sell the captives through the system ransom, but before that, he still had things to do. He walked in front of Black Snake and untied the rope on the woman¡¯s body under her terrified gaze. Before the woman could react, he took off her beast fur tribal outfit. In an instant, this woman stood naked in front of Luo Yu. Needless to say, her figure was quite good. Seeming to have understood something, Black Snake closed her eyes with a red face, waiting for the storm to come. The Sixth Prince and the Iron Spearman also glared at Luo Yu angrily. Everyone was very clear about the consequences of being a female captive. However, what surprised Black Snake was that after waiting for a moment, nothing came. When she opened his eyes, he saw Luo Yu pat her shoulder and say, ¡°The next time you come, it won¡¯t be as simple as taking off your clothes.¡± Swoosh! With a flash of light, she disappeared on the spot. At the same time, a pile of silver appeared in front of her. Next, after Luo Yu untied the Sixth Prince, he placed the Heavenly Crafting Saber on his neck and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in taking off a man¡¯s clothes. Take them off yourself quickly.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I will take them off immediately.¡± After a while, he stripped himself naked. With a flash of light, the Sixth Prince also disappeared. The amount of silver in front of him was more than ten times that of Black Snake. It was worth a lot! After redeeming the spearmen, Luo Yu earned a ton of silver. However, this was not the end. He put the clothes he had just grabbed from these people on the auction house! World (Anonymous): ¡°The animal skin suit I just grabbed from a beautiful savage is fragrant and warm. It¡¯s on the auction house. Hurry up and snatch it!¡± ¡°Really? Brother, did you encounter a tribal invasion?¡± ¡°F*ck, did you have fun with the beautiful barbarian? Tell me the truth.¡± ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll fork out all my 2,000 silver. Can you trade the beautiful savage to me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay 3,000. I¡¯ll trade.¡± It had been a long time since they had seen the opposite sex. Not to mention beautiful women, even female animals were rare. No wonder they were so hungry. Luo Yu laughed in his heart. Soon, he sold the beast hide at a price of 500 silver. He also sold the clothes for 1,000 silver. It was comfortable. By the time he was done, it was already dusk. After Luo Yu had dinner, he soaked comfortably in the bathtub and began to eat. [You have purchased Javelin Mastery at a cost of 50,000 Silver] [You have purchased Bow Mastery. Cost: 50,000 Silver] 100,000 silver was gone just like that. A light flashed on Luo Yu¡¯s body, and a lot of knowledge appeared in his mind. Joy appeared in his eyes as he nodded to himself. ¡°So that¡¯s how you exert your strength. I was wondering why it didn¡¯t spin when I threw the javelin out previously.¡± 100,000 silver was spent in one go. Looking at his savings, 18,000 silver was enough. For the next three days, the territory was calm. Luo Yu did not take out any more Special Milk to attract an invaders. Other than using a critical hit to mine every day, he spent almost all his time on javelins and bows. Now that his shooting level had reached LV5, and because of his mastery in javelins and bows, his accuracy and power increased when he used these two weapons. He could almost be considered to have a unique skill. On the other side, although the three days of mining did not produce any special ores, a large number of black spotted stones rolled down, causing the insects to attack him again. At this moment, Luo Yu¡¯s number of Earth-digging Worms had reached 10. With 10 worms mining non-stop, he could mine a large number of black spotted stones every day. He no longer needed to spend time going to the mine himself. After three days, the number of stone bricks had accumulated to 250,000 units. He was only one step away from the goal of building a big villa. That afternoon, Luo Yu stood in front of the observation deck by the lake and looked at the lake with a sharp gaze. He held the iron spear tightly in his hand and was prepared to strike at any time. He had modified the iron spear. Now that it had two hook claws, it looked even more ferocious. In the sky, the Silver-armored Ladybug grabbed the wooden bucket containing Special Milk and was luring the big black fish to pounce on it. After waiting for about ten minutes, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm surface of the lake. Luo Yu clearly saw a black shadow appear underwater! It seemed that the smell of Special Milk was something it could not refuse! BOOM! Waves splashed. The big black fish jumped out of the water and bit at the Silver-armored Ladybug with its bloody mouth! Now was the time! Luo Yu¡¯s eyes narrowed as he used all his strength to throw the iron spear! [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered] The whistling sound of the iron spear that was thrown out this time was shocking. Not only was it very fast, but it also spun at high speed. One could imagine how powerful it was. At the same time, the end of the iron spear was wrapped in a rope made of vines, and the other end of the rope was tied to the watchtower! Swoosh! Under the enhancement of 100 times the power, the iron spear almost turned into a spinning black light that stabbed at the big black fish. In the next moment, there was an explosion and a ball of blood mist exploded from the big black fish! Scales flew and blood mist rose. Then, something unbelievable happened. The iron spear pierced through the big black fish¡¯s burly body and came out from the other side, smashing into the lake with a bang! ¡°Roar!¡± The big black fish let out an extremely miserable cry and its huge body fell straight into the water. As the waves splashed, it began to roll and struggle violently, causing the vine rope to collapse! The watchtower immediately swayed. However, this was also within Luo Yu¡¯s calculations. He jumped down from the ten-meter-tall watchtower and wanted to deal with this big black fish before the watchtower collapsed! ¡°Die!¡± Standing on the ground, he grabbed the javelin that he had placed in advance and threw it out! Swoosh! The javelin spun and shot out. Although it did not have the terrifying sound of the wind breaking after a Hundredfold Critical Hit, its power was comparable. The javelin accurately pierced into the tumbling body of the big black fish. The high-speed spinning javelin was like a bomb, exploding a bloody mist on the black fish! ¡°Again!¡± He continuously threw javelins, and each javelin accurately pierced the black fish¡¯s body! Bang! Bang! Bang! The blood mist exploded continuously, and the black fish¡¯s struggle became more and more intense. The watchtower had completely tilted, and it would probably collapse in two more pulls. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 27 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He could not help but sigh. This black fish¡¯s vitality was too strong! It seemed to know that knocking down the watchtower was its only way out! However, this time, Luo Yu was fully prepared. He opened the system interface and chose the repair interface. [Repairing the watchtower will increase the repair cost by 10 times. Requires 10 silver for every 1 Durability repair.] The repair fee was terrifyingly high, but at this moment, who cared about the repair fee? Just do it! After confirming it, the originally shaky watchtower actually began to straighten up again. Luo Yu could clearly see that the durability of the watchtower had always been hovering at a critical point. [Durability: 18/100] [Durability: 19/100] [Durability: 18/100] It was repaired and damaged again and again! Luo Yu wanted to see if this black fish was tenacious or if he had more money! ¡°Die!¡± Luo Yu threw another javelin with all his might. Now, his hit rate was terrifyingly high. With a bang, another cloud of blood mist erupted! In order to deal with this decisive battle, Luo Yu had made another 20 javelins. Now, there were a total of 39 javelins. When the 38th javelin pierced into the big black fish¡¯s body, it seemed to have erupted with the last bit of its strength before it died. With a bang, the watchtower collapsed! Was he going to fail again? ¡®No!¡¯ Luo Yu would not allow such a thing to happen again! He suddenly grabbed the vine rope and instantly straightened the rope again. His 42 points of strength exploded, and he was not dragged into the water by the terrifying force from the other end of the rope! [You have chosen to spend 12,000 Silver to buy attribute points. Your current strength: 52 points] When a certain attribute exceeded 50 points, the price of 1,000 silver per point increased to 2,000 silver per point. Luo Yu did not care and added ten points of strength on the spot. He suddenly stood still and pulled with all his might. He was actually in a deadlock with the big black fish! Of course, the big black fish was severely injured and its resistance was much weaker than before. Otherwise, even with 52 Strength, he would not be able to withstand it. ¡°Cattle, come here!¡± Luo Yu shouted. The big bull and the cow ran over with a rumble. Luo Yu wrapped the rope around them and the man and the two cattle exerted their strength crazily. For a moment, the big black fish in the lake could not escape no matter how hard it struggled! ¡°Moo!¡± The big bull was enraged and roared from time to time. Dumby, who was beside him, also bit the rope to help. Luo Yu could clearly sense that the force coming from the other side of the rope was gradually decreasing! ¡°Get up here!¡± He and the animals beside him exerted strength at the same time, erupting with astonishing strength. The iron spear that was hooked on the other side of the big black fish¡¯s stomach was hooked onto the fish¡¯s stomach in the opposite direction under the huge force. It might be fine when the three hook claws stabbed in, but when it was dragged out, it could directly destroy its internal organs. After a series of strange tugs, a large portion of the big black fish¡¯s internal organs were almost twisted apart. It let out a shocking scream and died. [You have killed a large demon beast, the Black Fish Monster. You have obtained 20,000 silver coins.] Beast Soul Core*1 Gale Saber Technique*1 (Silver-rank martial technique) [Random Technology Unlock Scroll*1] Silver Treasure Chest*1 [You are the first participant in the region to kill the monster in the lake. Additional reward: 20,000 silver] After a series of notifications, a pile of items appeared in front of Luo Yu. From the looks of it, this black fish monster should be a Silver-rank demon beast. It had dropped many good things! After receiving the notification, Luo Yu sat on the ground and heaved a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he felt his arm go numb, and his palm was covered in blood. How fortunate! Fortunately, he chose to use 20 vines to form a rope instead of the 10 that he had originally planned. Otherwise, the vine rope might not have been able to withstand such great force. Fortunately, the Hundredfold Critical Hit pierced through the fish¡¯s stomach as expected. Otherwise, he would not have been able to trap the black fish. To be honest, his strength was only at the Dark Iron level at the moment. It was not easy for him to defeat this silver-level strange fish. With a wave of his hand, the Silver-armored Ladybug flew back. After drinking Special Milk, Luo Yu recovered and transported the pile of things on the ground to the wooden house. First, he had to pull up the corpse of the strange fish. A moment later, looking at such a huge corpse, Luo Yu sighed again. The ice cellar was too small to fit! Alright, he should sell it! It was not until the sun set that Luo Yu finally cut the entire big black fish and obtained a lot of fish meat. In addition, there was also [Hard Fish Bone*200]. These fish bones were good materials and could be used as weapons. Some other messy buildings could also be strengthened with fish bones. At this stage, the price of meat had fallen from 80 silver to 20 silver today because the first batch of crops was about to ripen! After the crop matured, the price of meat would probably decrease even more, so it would be best to sell it as soon as possible. Luo Yu simply put it up for sale. As for the fish bones¡­ He suddenly thought of something and opened the building page. As expected, some buildings could be added with special monster materials to strengthen their durability. With 48,000 silver coins on hand, stone bricks were originally not enough to build a big villa, but he could use this hard fish bone to replace a portion of the materials! He could build a big villa! Luo Yu was overjoyed. Let¡¯s do it! He spent half an hour demolishing his wooden house and moving everything out. Then, he opened the manufacturing page and clicked on the big villa. The phantom of the three-story villa appeared. Without any hesitation, Luo Yu chose to confirm. Light flashed in front of him, and the mountain of stone bricks disappeared. The huge fish skeleton also disappeared, replaced with a complete three-story villa. Luo Yu chose a Chinese-style villa with red walls. The three floors added up to about 1,500 square meters. It could be said to be very big, and there was also a basement. With excitement in his heart, Luo Yu walked into the villa and found it empty. There was nothing. Although the current villa was well-decorated, there was no furniture. He had to settle it himself. He looked at every room on the third floor and quickly planned the kitchen, bedroom, living room, and so on. He also went to the basement to take a look. It was very clean and could be used as a warehouse. He took a look at the Base Score. Good lord, it was at 500 points now. The big villa had added almost 300 points, which meant that the intensity of the invasion at the end of the month would be a little fierce. The hygiene score had also increased by 12 points. Now, it was his highest value at 57 points. Not bad. [Mansion: Silver+] [Area: 1,650 square meters, rating +300, hygiene score +12, probability of producing a positive buff +12%] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations That¡¯s right. Living in such a luxurious building, there was a chance of obtaining a positive buff. Moreover, there was no upper limit to this probability. As long as you had money, you could increase the probability to 10,000%. When you went out, you would be covered in buffs¡­ As for why it was Silver+ and not ordinary Silver, it was because of the addition of the fish skeleton, which increased its rating by half. The rating represented everything, defense, comfort, and so on. Now, Luo Yu was hesitating again. The floor and walls were made of ordinary stone. Should he change them to silver? Would it be too extravagant? A moment later, on the third-floor balcony of the villa, Luo Yu bought an armchair and lay comfortably on it. From here, he could look over the entire territory. The scenery was really good. After eliminating the big water monster, he had a lot of things to do. Fishing, building bridges, checking the water quality, breeding, and so on were all waiting for him. However, before that, he had to study the pile of items that had dropped. The first thing he did was to open the martial arts book, Gale Saber Technique. Just like its introduction, there was nothing much to study about a Silver-rank martial arts book. Luo Yu directly chose to learn it. [Gale Saber Technique (Silver): Level One] Luo Yu felt countless information surge into his mind, and a look of realization appeared on his face. After he stood up and brandished the Heavenly Crafting Saber, the strength and angle of his strike had indeed increased greatly. At the same time, he also discovered that only martial arts could vividly display his attribute points. In the past, he was a guy with brute force, but now, he was a warrior with great strength. In addition, the [Gale Saber Technique] had a total of three levels. Or rather, there were only three levels for Silver-rank portion of this martial technique. With every increase in level, the power of the technique would increase. After the Silver-rank, the number of levels in Gold and Platinum-rank martial techniques would increase, and their power would increase exponentially. As for how to go up in level, it was very simple: spend money. To increase the level of a Silver-rank martial arts technique, it would cost 30,000 yuan, which was ridiculously expensive. He now had 18,000 silver yuan, so forget about it. ¡°I¡¯ll try the arena later.¡± With that thought in mind, Luo Yu used the [Random Technology Unlock Scroll]. [Congratulations on obtaining: Visitor Technology] ¡°Eh, you unlocked the visitor technology directly?¡± Originally, unlocking it required 5,000 silver and two special materials. Now, it was unlocked on the spot. In other words, Luo Yu could visit someone else¡¯s territory. Even if the other party did not unlock the visitor technology, he could still go. It was just that the other party could not reach his base. Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party agreed. Visitor technology was actually very powerful, as it could save people at critical moments! Nodding in satisfaction, Luo Yu opened the Silver Treasure Chest. [Congratulations on obtaining a personal talent: Beast Tamer (1-star)] ¡°What the f*ck? Personal talent!¡± Luo Yu was shocked and hurriedly checked the description. [Beast Tamer (1-Star): Beast Taming Level + LV3. All attributes of tamed animals in the territory increase by 10%, animal production increase by 10%, and beast taming success rate increase by 10%.] Looking at this talent, Luo Yu could only say one word: awesome! He had thought that he would be able to open a Silver-rank item, but he did not expect it to give him such a powerful personal talent. What would happen if it was upgraded to five stars? He didn¡¯t even use a critical hit chance either! Had his luck really exploded? He laughed out loud. He was really overjoyed. To increase the star rating of a personal talent would also cost 30,000 silver per star. Of course, he could also continuously tame beasts to increase its star rating, but it would be very slow. Finally, there was the beast soul core! Without any hesitation, Luo Yu chose to make the [Base Automatic Defense Core]. [You have consumed 3,000 silver, 200 jade, 200 gold, and 1 beast soul core. Production successful.] A light flashed in front of his eyes, and a small Future Wind Rubik¡¯s Cube slowly landed in Luo Yu¡¯s palm. This was what he had dreamed of! He opened the building page. As expected, the building under the automatic defense column had been unlocked! [Automatic Shooting Crossbows (500): Wood*5,000, Iron*1,000, Silver*500] Expensive! Because it did not need to be loaded and automatically generated crossbow bolts, this small crossbow required a large amount of wood! There were no 5,000 units of wood in the entire base, so he could only buy it. There was no hurry. After the [Automatic Defense Core] was created, in addition to the automatic crossbows, it also unlocked the Automatic Arrow Tower. [Automatic Arrow Tower (3,000): Wood*30,000, Iron*5,000, Silver*2,500] Automatic technology was so expensive! As for things like the [Large Automatic Ballista] and the [Automatic Lightning Strike Tower], they had not been unlocked, and there was no money to unlock them. This was too expensive! Luo Yu originally thought that he was a small tycoon, but in front of these technologies, he was just a beggar. Building arrow towers required money, leveling up martial arts techniques required money, increasing the star rating of personal talents also required money, and building other buildings required money! Luo Yu had to plan his money-making plan! Let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow. He would just settle the bed today! In the past, a wooden bed seemed out of place in the villa. Looking at his empty bedroom, Luo Yu planned to build a luxurious double bed. [Luxury double bed: Construction unit*520, Wood*520, Silver*520, Gold*52] Luo Yu laughed in his heart. They all needed 520 units. It was indeed a double bed. Was Axiom Daddy hinting at something? Construction units could be stones, wood, or something else, but considering it was luxury, it was definitely better to use rare materials. Luo Yu thought of something and planned to wait until his critical hit count recovered tomorrow before producing it. Tonight, he would rock on the armchair! That night, Luo Yu wrapped himself in the wolf skin and slept on the armchair. The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was to build a bed! As for the materials, of course, they were made of green jade! Jade was originally used as a luxury item to increase ratings and comfort. The key was that he happened to have 520 pieces of jade. It was worth mentioning that critical hit could not be used on large buildings, as it would be too easy to exceed the scope of the base. [You have chosen to make a luxurious jade double bed. Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered!] Light flickered in front of him, and in a blur, a beautiful bed appeared in front of him. [Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud Jade Deluxe Double Bed (Diamond-Grade): Rest efficiency increased by 60%, disease recovery increased by 60%, positive buff obtained increased by 60%, comfort increased by 60%, female pregnancy probability increased.] ¡°D-Diamond-grade?!¡± Luo Yu was flabbergasted. His trembling hand touched the bed, and that soft feeling reached his heart. The next moment, he threw himself onto the bed. Indeed, it was as if he was sleeping on the clouds and floating in the clouds. This feeling was really refreshing.

Chapter 29 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations [You have received a buff, Auspicious Cloud: All Life Skill EXP increased by 20%.] [Ding! Your planting skill has been upgraded to Level 3.] ¡°Well ¡­¡± ¡°It was upgraded after lying down for two seconds?¡± ¡°Ridiculous!¡± Luo Yu laughed heartily. But then again, what did this increase in female pregnancy mean? The bull and cow could come to my bed and give birth to two calves tomorrow? Luo Yu suddenly had an idea. Of course, it was just a thought. At this moment, he was in a good mood. He looked at the interface and saw that there had been a huge change. Trial Tester: Luo Yu Number: Earth, Xia Country 23333 Base Score: 700 Health Points: 65 Entertainment Points: 10 points Strength: 52 Physique: 39 Agility: 38 Personal talent: Zerg Nemesis (5-Star), Beast Tamer (1-Star) Martial Skill: Gale Saber Technique Level 1 Mastery: Javelin Mastery, Bow Mastery Life Skills: Planting Lv3, Mining Lv4, Beast Taming Lv8, Shooting Lv5¡­ Everything else was fine, but the Base Score¡­ 700! The intensity of the incasion at the end of the month would definitely not be small. He had to set up the automatic defense facilities as soon as possible. No matter how good the base was built, it would be useless if it could not be defended! At this moment, a notification came. [Abnormal weather has happened in your area. Please take note to avoid it.] In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, as if it was going to rain heavily! Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°It¡¯s clearly going to rain, but I don¡¯t panic at all because I have my own small stone house.¡± There was also a screenshot attached. It looked like a small house. Fang Yumeng: ¡°It¡¯s thundering and raining. We need to collect our clothes!¡± Alice: ¡°Yumeng, do you have a stone house too?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Yes! I tamed an Earth-digging Worm when I was mining. Fortunately, it helped me dig!¡± Niu Da: ¡°Earth-digging Worm? You even tamed it? Your luck is too good!¡± Alina asked, ¡°Alice, is your treehouse ready?¡± Alice said, ¡°Alright, the Goddess of Light has blessed us and we built a treehouse before the storm.¡± Alina said, ¡°I¡¯ve built it long ago. The Goddess of Darkness will always be one step ahead of the Goddess of Light and protect the elves.¡± Rumble! Rumble! Heavy rain fell from the sky, and the entire world instantly fell into a misty rain. Fang Yumeng: ¡°The rain is so heavy. Luo Yu, what¡¯s your situation?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I dug up a lot of stones. I happened to build a small building yesterday.¡± Everyone: ¡°A building?!¡± Na Ke¡¯er said, ¡°Quick, send a picture of your building for me to see!¡± Seeing that everyone was urging him to upload a photo and Luo Yu happened to take a photo when he built the villa yesterday, so be it. When Luo Yu really sent the picture, the chat group instantly fell silent. After a moment of silence, Fang Yumeng said, ¡°Oh my god! This is a big villa!¡± ¡°How¡­ how did you do it?!¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I love mining. I just dug enough materials!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°I¡¯m going to faint. Luo Yu, do you want to raise two cute Cat Girls?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Didn¡¯t someone say that the Cat Girls are not pets but handsome girls?¡± Alina said, ¡°Stupid, stupid man! You wasted so much stone bricks to build a villa! If you have the money, why don¡¯t you build a large wall?!¡± Alice: ¡°A beautiful residence, but Luo Yu, we are still in the early stages of development. You have to be diligent and take care of your family. The Goddess of Light will bless you.¡± Niu Da: ¡°Brother, is mining¡­ really that profitable? Why don¡¯t I do it¡­¡± Everyone was shocked. They all knew that Luo Yu loved to mine, but who would have thought that he could build a villa¡­ Luo Yu said, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this. Look at the explanation. When we fish after the heavy rain, the success rate will be doubled.¡± Everyone: ¡°Remember about the water monster! Don¡¯t court death!¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ You guys are right. With that water monster around, I won¡¯t court death¡­¡± At this moment, Luo Yu was standing on the balcony and drinking milk. He looked at the stormy scene in front of him and chatted with everyone, but his heart was extremely content. Dumby was sleeping on the first floor. Since the Stone-Armored Turtles had already entered the lake, he did not have to worry too much. The two cattle and the hen could not get wet in the livestock shed. The insects were all in the mine, so he did not have to worry about them. Everything was under control. He swirled the milk in his cup and said with a faint smile, ¡°It¡¯s just an abnormal weather. It¡¯s just like¡­¡± ¡°Wait a minute, vegetable field!¡± Luo Yu realized that his vegetable field was going to be in trouble under the heavy rain! Luo Yu: ¡°The vegetable field! Everyone, protect the vegetable field. Don¡¯t let it drown in the heavy rain!¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Aiya! Now that you mention it¡­¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°I don¡¯t eat vegetables.¡± Niu Da: ¡°I like to eat grass. When the rain stops, there will be a lot of tender grass growing.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Luo Yu, a vegetable shed! If you have enough materials, quickly build a vegetable shed.¡± Her thoughts were the same as Luo Yu¡¯s. At this moment, he had already opened the construction page. [Simple vegetable shed (1 meter): Wood*5, Iron*1, Silver*1] Fortunately, there was a warning beforehand. After digging a drainage ditch, Luo Yu hurriedly chose to build it. After consuming a large amount of materials, a simple vegetable shed was built. In fact, it was just a wooden shed. Without affecting the sunlight, the rain would flow out at an oblique angle. This would not block all the rain, but it would not drown the vegetables. After doing all of this, Luo Yu heaved a sigh of relief and sent a message to the chat group. ¡°I¡¯m safe here. Fang Yumeng, how are you?¡± ¡°Done!¡± Fang Yumeng sent a screenshot. It was also a simple vegetable shed. It seemed like it was fine. Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Luo Yu only cares about Yumeng. He didn¡¯t even ask me how I am doing, hmph¡­¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I thought you don¡¯t eat vegetables?¡± Niu Da: ¡°But she will be jealous. Hahaha.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Eh? Does Ke¡¯er really like Luo Yu?¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°No! I was just joking. Only a puppy likes him!¡± Amidst the laughter, Luo Yu realized that the people in his small group were quite capable. They had resolved many crises safely. The two Elves had outstanding abilities and should be ranked at the top of the cosmic races in all aspects. Although the two Cat Girls looked soft and cute, after interacting with them, Luo Yu realized that Na Ke¡¯er was quite aggressive and her abilities were not bad. The three girls on Fang Yumeng¡¯s side were the lucky ones. Luo Yu 1-star beast taming talent was already so effective, and Fang Yumeng was an initial 3-star beast tamer¡­ Niu Da might not be able to do anything, but he could eat grass! With a good physique, even if he had nothing, he could live on the grassland alone! On the other hand, in the World Channel and the Regional Channel¡­ ¡°F*ck, my vegetables that would have ripen the day after tomorrow have been washed away. Bastard!¡± ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t have enough iron ores. I can¡¯t build a vegetable shed.

Chapter 30 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This intermittent rain and wind lasted for a day. The next morning, when the clouds parted and the fog dissipated, Luo Yu could not care less about the muddy ground and ran to the vegetable field immediately. When he saw that the vegetables were still alive, he heaved a sigh of relief. [Prompt: The base has fallen into a muddy state, hygiene score has decreased, and the risk of illness has increased.] The sudden notification stunned Luo Yu. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his entire body was a little uncomfortable. Looking around, be it inside or outside the wall, the entire grassland had fallen into a muddy state. All kinds of insects flew and crawled around, looking quite uncomfortable. Under such circumstances, it was indeed a hotbed of bacteria and diseases. It would be strange if it could be comfortable. He looked at the hygiene score and it had decreased by 20. Luo Yu knew that he had to build a floor. He clicked on the building page. There were many types of floors, including wooden, cement, stone, and silver. Although a wooden floor would give people a warm feeling, it was flammable. Moreover, wood was precious to begin with, and it would be damp when it rained. It was definitely not good. A cement floor was not good either. It was too cheap and did not give any buffs. Luo Yu leaned towards the stone tile flooring. Looking at the price, a stonetile required 4 stone bricks, 4 silver¡­ It was so expensive. Let¡¯s talk about it later! Fang Yumeng said, ¡°Aiyo, the hygiene at the base is so bad. There are so many insects. Everyone, pay attention to hygiene and don¡¯t fall sick.¡± Na Ke Er: ¡°We have to build a toilet.¡± The chat group became active. After Luo Yu had breakfast, he began a new day. The first part of the day was milking the cow. As his beast taming level increased and he had the beast tamer talent, he squeezed out 30 units of milk today and left behind the portion he drank. Luo Yu placed the rest on the auction house. Because of the storm yesterday, many people¡¯s vegetable fields were destroyed, and the price of meat began to soar again. It could be sold for 50 silver per unit. After a few days, he had a lot of inventory and earned 4,500 silver in one go. Next was the release of water from the fish pond. After a heavy rain, the water in the fish pond showed signs of overflowing. After draining it, he obtained 25 units of seafood. Including the stock from the previous few days, there were a total of 75 units. After selling them, he earned another 3,800 silver. Speaking of which, have the fish and prawns been on holiday recently? The number has clearly decreased! Originally, the money he earned was already a huge sum, but from the looks of it, it was not enough. He had to think of a way to increase his income. Fishing was a good option. Now that the big demon beasts in the lake had been killed, the beautiful lake finally opened its arms to Luo Yu. He carried a hanging rod and excitedly walked to the lake, only to find that there was no place to step. After a storm, the water level soared, and the rising lake water eroded a portion of the grassland. The group of Stone-Armored Turtles climbed ashore and leaned intimately against Luo Yu to bask in the sun. However, Luo Yu frowned slightly. In the chat group, he asked, ¡°Has your lake water risen?¡± Alina said, ¡°Stupid man, your little lake is overflowing too?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°It¡¯s already overflowing. The big demon in the lake won¡¯t come ashore, right? I¡¯m a little worried¡­¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°What if there are a few more storms? This is compressing our living space!¡± Everyone spoke one after another and came to a conclusion: the lake was expanding. If they did not eliminate the big demon beasts in the lake, the lake would continue to flood. If they did not do anything, their living space would become smaller and smaller, and they would eventually be destroyed! Recognizing the seriousness of the problem, everyone looked worried. It was not just their small group. Someone in the World Channel had already offered a high price, hoping to hire mercenaries to deal with their own water monsters! The problem was that most of the mercenaries registered in the Mercenary Square were at the Dark Iron level. Who had the ability to deal with a Silver-level demon beasts¡­ Luo Yu had relied on a HundredFold Critical Hit to deal with the big black fish, so he did not want to take on this job for the time being. He ordered the Stone-Armored Turtles to stand in a row and temporarily use them as a place to rest. Luo Yu sat on the turtle¡¯s back and pondered. A new problem has arisen. Flood control. Summer was coming, and rain was abundant. Even if the big demon beast died, he could not let the lake flood indefinitely. He needed to build a dam and raise the shore of the lake. In addition to being able to controlling the water level, it could also prevent the lake from being polluted by invasions. Yes, the small lake was his only water source. It would be horrible if someone poisoned it. Moreover, if the other party dived into the lake and swam over to invade, it would weaken the power of the arrow towers in that direction and be disadvantageous to the defense of the base. On the contrary, if he built a wall by the lake, Automatic Crossbows could be placed on the dam, and Automatic Arrow Towers could be built inside the dam. Then, he could defend and control the level at the same time. It was killing two birds with one stone. He opened the virtual construction interface and clicked on the construction plan. Under Luo Yu¡¯s command, virtual tiles began to connect along the lake and finally calculated a number. If he wanted to build a flood-proof dam along the lake, he would need a total of 2,000,000 stone bricks and 50,000 steel. He would also need 50,000 silver for construction fees. Expensive! This was not something that could be resolved in the short term. ¡°I think I¡¯ll fish first.¡± Luo Yu simply closed the construction interface and threw a fishing rod. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered] When the notification appeared, Luo Yu hurriedly retracted his rod and found a metal box. He opened it and saw that it was a scroll. [Automatic Catapult Storage Talisman: One-time use item. After using it, you can immediately obtain an Automatic Catapult.] ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Yu¡¯s eyes widened. Oh my god, he had caught a catapult! He picked up the scroll and immediately ran back to the wall. He found a suitable position to use it. A light flashed in front of his eyes and a beautiful catapult appeared. [Automatic Catapult: It can automatically catapult rocks. Effective range is 1,000 meters, hit rate is 20%, automatic launch time is 10 seconds.] Good lord, the maximum range of an ordinary catapult was only 200 meters. This one was actually 1,000 meters. As expected of an Automatic Catapult. Luo Yu tried to fire one, and a green stone immediately appeared on the launcher. With a bang, it flew out. The green stone drew an arc and directly smashed into the grassland. It was a few meters from the expected target, but the accuracy was still very high. The key was that it would automatically attack enemies. It was good stuff! This undoubtedly greatly increased the defensive abilities of the base. ¡°Beautiful!¡± Luo Yu laughed and happily ran off to fish again. Now that it was raining, there was no more Hundredfold Critical Hit, but the catching rate was still double. Luo Yu¡¯s hook did not have any bait, so it was obvious that he did not want ordinary fish. What he wanted was a box. According to the instructions of the Heavenly Dao World, there was a spring at the bottom of the small lake. The spring guaranteed that the small lake was alive. At the same time, there was a chance that some resources would spew out. And these resources was impossible to catch it in the water. It could only be caught through a fishing rod. It was a magical setting. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 31 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In fact, Luo Yu more or less understood that the efficiency of fishing in the water was too high. Moreover, some races were very good at swimming and would destroy the balance of the Heavenly Dao world. Actual fishing depended on luck. Not everyone had so much time to fish here. Fishing was suitable for three types of people. First type were those that had nothing to do. The second type were those that were extremely hungry, and the third type were those that had a gambler¡¯s mentality. Luo Yu only fished because of the double chance after the rain. Usually, he would rather mine¡­ As he did not have any bait, he did not catch anything for an hour. Just as he was feeling extremely disappointed, the fishing rod suddenly moved! ¡°The goods are out!¡± He was overjoyed. After putting away the rod, there was another metal box! He hurriedly opened it and saw a box of arrows! [Feathered Arrows: 100] These arrows were a level higher than ordinary arrows, and he had received a hundred in one go! Luo Yu was satisfied. Just as he was about to throw the rod again, he suddenly thought of something. The resources he caught were all stored in iron boxes. Didn¡¯t he mine a magnet? ¡®Try it?¡¯ A moment later, the magnet was in place. Luo Yu threw the rod. No, to be precise, he smashed the rod. The magnet fell into the water with a splash and quickly sank. [Absorption Stone Fishing Rod: The probability of obtaining a resource box increases by 100%.] As expected, his thoughts were correct. Magnetite had also doubled the rate of obtaining resource boxes. Soon, the fishing rod moved. It was another metal box! [Boomerang (Steel): 1] This time, he got a boomerang. Luo Yu tested the feel of it and saw that the boomerang flew one round in the air before flying back. He almost got struck. He was not proficient in boomerangs, and he did not intend to learn this thing. He would sell it. Looking at the auction house, the price of weapons had already come down. After all, after such a long time of development, some people could still dig up iron ore. With iron ore, they could forge some rankless weapons. This boomerang was a Black Iron-rank weapon, and the basic price of a Black Iron-rank weapon was about 5,000 silver. However, the boomerang was a long-range weapon, so it would definitely be more expensive. Luo Yu put it up for sale for 8,000 silver to test his luck. As he fished, he patiently waited for a fool to buy this boomerang. As expected, it was sold in a short while. There were so many races in the universe, and there were always rich people who liked these new things. With the silver in hand, he continued fishing. This time, after waiting for two hours, nothing else came up. Luo Yu estimated that the boxes in his area were gone, so he ended the day¡¯s fishing. When he reached the base, he realized that the rocks pulled by the Golden-shelled Beetle had already piled up into a small mountain. There was nothing else to say. Cut! After a busy day, at night, in the villa¡¯s bathroom, Luo Yu looked at the surrounding walls and made up his mind to build a bathtub. How could a luxurious bathroom not have a bathtub? While bathing in the original bathtub, Luo Yu flipped through the building page. [Luxury Bathtub: Building Materials*3,000, Silver*1,500, Iron Ore*100] It was still the same as the big bed. It was cheap to use stones for building materials, but it was expensive to exchange for other rare materials. As for hot water, it could be resolved. The villa had its own hot water boiler. As long as there was water circulation, it could automatically generate hot water. Luo Yu naturally hoped that the bathtub would be made of jade or gold. A diamond bathtub was better, but there was no such thing. Let¡¯s take it slow. With this in mind, he entered the arena. This time, Luo Yu chose to fight another Black Iron trial-taker with a bet of 1,000 silver. This person was from the Blood Wolf Race. After entering the room, the two of them started fighting! BANG! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Luo Yu held an iron sword (Black Iron-rank, the one given to him by the prince) and collided with the sharp claws of the Blood Wolf man. After more than ten rounds, his sword struck the man¡¯s chest! ¡°Humans are so sharp? Is this a martial technique?!¡± A look of disbelief appeared in the Blood Wolf man¡¯s eyes. However, in the next moment, under the Gale Saber Technique, the man was struck more than ten times and dissipated. [K.O.] With 1,000 silver in hand, Luo Yu switched to another room. That night, he fought with Dark Iron experts four times in a row. Relying on the Gale Saber Technique and his powerful attribute value, he won four times and earned a total of 5,000 silver. The name ¡°Yu¡± began to spread among experts. At the same time, Luo Yu discovered that there were some rooms that he could not enter and were blocked! Some people were afraid of him and directly excluded his name when they created the room. Under such restrictions. he could only watch the battle and not fight. What happened to the stage for the strong? A bunch of cowards! Early in the morning, Luo Yu went to the vegetable field happily after breakfast. [Vegetables: Maturity 100%] [Tomato: Maturity 100%] [Rice: Maturity 100%] [Corn¡­] ¡­ In the chat group, Luo Yu said, ¡°The vegetables are ready!¡± Fang Yuwei said, ¡°Thank God, this day has finally come.¡± Alice: ¡°The food problem has basically been resolved. Everyone can develop in peace.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Is vegetarian food really that delicious?¡± Niu Da: ¡°My vegetable field is long gone¡­¡± ¡­ Luo Yu chatted happily with everyone while harvesting crops. At this moment, the LV3 planting skill had its effect. It was the same vegetable, but the LV0 harvest could only harvest one unit, but there was a chance of obtaining two units at LV3. Overall, he would gain a lot more. After a busy morning, Luo Yu harvested all the crops. [Vegetables: 158] [Cabbage: 199] [Tomato: 146] [Rice: 1,989] [Corn: 2,294] [Berries: 308] ¡­ There were a total of 6,000 units of vegetables, including staple foods such as rice, corn, and potatoes. If he ate these vegetables himself, it would be enough to last until winter. However, with so many mouths in the base, he should be able to last until autumn. Of course, he did not have to eat vegetarian every meal. If he added the fish meat, he should be able to last for a longer time. The seasons of the Heavenly Dao World were different from those of Earth. Earth had four season in a year, while the Heavenly Dao World would have a season every month. After the invasion at the end of the month, it would be summer. Another month later, it would be autumn. This cycle continued. There was not as much time as he had imagined. Before winter, he had to store more vegetables. With a batch of crops and seeds, Luo Yu began to expand the vegetable field. Summer was coming soon, and it was the best season for crops to grow. Luo Yu simply doubled the size of the vegetable field. In addition, the apples were about to ripen, and the location of the orchard had to be chosen. With a big bull plowing the land, there was no need to panic! After an afternoon of planning, planting, and so on, Luo Yu¡¯s planting level had reached LV4. The sun was setting, and work was over. The rest of the work would be done tomorrow. He looked at the hint on the large map. There were still four days before the invasion at the end of the month.

Chapter 32 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At night, Luo Yu, who had just taken a shower, lay on the luxurious seven-colored bed and chatted with everyone. Today¡¯s critical hit chance was not used because the invasion was about to start. Luo Yu was prepared to save the number of critical hits. And if he encountered a situation that he could not handle, it would be the hope of turning the tables. Alice said, ¡°The invasion is in three days. Are you all ready?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Stop talking. I¡¯m so worried. How can I defend against an invasion? I have more than 40,000 silver on hand. I have to convert it into combat strength as soon as possible.¡± Niu Da: ¡°Sigh, the world is already in mourning. The invasion is approaching. I saw someone commit suicide under the pressure just now.¡± Alina said, ¡°Useless. You don¡¯t even have the courage to face danger. Living is a waste of food.¡± Alice: ¡°Alina¡­ don¡¯t say that.¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I can provide an idea to stall for time.¡± ¡°If you encounter a raid by a tribe, you can clear the surrounding wilderness. As long as you can stall until the other party runs out of food, they will naturally retreat.¡± ¡°Eh? That¡¯s a good idea. Should we build the wall as soon as possible?¡± Fang Yuwei asked curiously and received an affirmative answer from Luo Yu. Na Ke¡¯er asked, ¡°Luo Yu, how did you know that they would retreat if they don¡¯t have food?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me we¡¯ve already been raided?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I encountered a thief before, but he was stopped by my wall.¡± ¡°Thief!¡± Everyone exclaimed! ¡°Is it a theft? Heavens, you really have dealt with natives!!!¡± Fang Yumeng sent a long string of exclamation marks. Luo Yu only smiled faintly and kept a low profile. He changed the topic and said, ¡°By the way, it¡¯s in the instructions. A special thing will appear before the raid at the end of the month. Everyone, seize the opportunity. This might be the key to getting through the raid.¡± ¡°Good!¡± Everyone agreed, but Luo Yu could tell that everyone was worried. Fang Yumeng decided to build the wall in four days. Na Ke¡¯er prepared to dig a trap, and everyone was thinking of a way to safely survive through the raid. Luo Yu was also very clear that the intensity of his raid would be very high. In the remaining few days, he had to do his best to build Automatic Crossbows! Early in the morning, Luo Yu woke up from his luxurious bed and realized that he had an additional buff. [Mining Gain: Your mining level has increased by LV3 for two days.] Needless to say, this was naturally the buff given by the big bed. After breakfast, Luo Yu began to organize his resources and prepare to make Automatic Crossbows. This was because the Earth-digging Worms had been mining there in with very high intensity. Although their levels were very low, they would occasionally dig out iron ores. Currently, Luo Yu had 2,750 iron ores. With another 250 iron ores, he could gather the iron ore needed for three Automatic Crossbows. Then there was wood. Now, there were 966 units of wood in the base. One Automatic Crossbow needed 5,000 units of wood. It was a long way off. He might not be able to gather it all by himself. Without a doubt, he would have to buy it! He had 35,000 silver. At the moment, everyone¡¯s demand for wood was not particularly high. The price of one unit of wood in the auction house was still 1 silver. Luo Yu very straightforwardly bought 15,000 units of wood. [Please choose where you want to place it.] Luo Yu chose to place it beside the wall. With so much wood, it was like a house. As for iron ore, because everyone¡¯s mining level was still very low and the demand was huge, it would be a huge loss if he bought it. Coincidentally, Luo Yu had obtained the mining enhancement buff today. Dig! When he arrived at the mine, he dug fiercely. A large pile of black spotted stones and other stone materials appeared. There were also iron ores. At the same time, a notification came: [Your mining skill has been upgraded to LV5.] With the addition of the buff, the mining level had reached Level 8. With a swing of Luo Yu¡¯s pickaxe, a large iron ore was dug out. Iron Ore*20 Another pickaxe, another iron ore! Iron Ore*15 ¡°Wonderful!¡± Luo Yu was overjoyed. With his current strength and stamina, his mining speed was very fast. After a series of fierce digging, he dug up 400 units of iron ore before stopping. Pushing the cart back to the base, Luo Yu opened the production interface and began to build the Automatic Crossbows. There was another problem. Where should the three Automatic Crossbows be placed on the wall? Luo Yu thought of something. Every time there was an incident or an raid, they would come down from the mountain in the east and enter the base at the same place. He guessed that it should be the only way in and out of his territory. At least for now. Since that was the case, he would focus on placing his defenses in the east. After spending 15,000 units of wood, 3,000 units of iron ore, and 1,500 silver, the east wall flickered with light, and three Automatic Crossbows were embedded in the raised stone blocks of the wall. The effective range of an Automatic Crossbow was 150 meters. In other words, it would only open fire when enemy units entered this range. Therefore, Luo Yu placed one in the middle and one in each corner, covering the maximum range and forming a crossfire. The three Automatic Crossbows directly consumed all of Luo Yu¡¯s materials, but the defensive abilities of the base had increased by a large margin. It could be seen from the score. A single Automatic Crossbow increased the Base Score by 50 points. It could be seen how powerful it was. Limited by resources, he could only make three Automatic Crossbows at the moment. Let¡¯s earn money and see how many more he could make in the last few days. Luo Yu sold today¡¯s seafood and milk and continued to mine. He took advantage of the buff to dig out something good. In a day, Luo Yu had really dug up 400 units of iron ore. There were also countless stones and a small piece of jade. He had dug it all out with his own strength. He did not use any of his critical hits, so he felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw his gain. At night, when Luo Yu entered the arena, he realized that the originally crowded arena seemed a little deserted. The raid was approaching, and everyone was preparing overnight. Even the number of people PKing had decreased. Alright, then I¡¯ll earn less. Another day passed. When the first ray of sunlight shone through the balcony and onto Luo Yu¡¯s big bed, he slowly woke up. [You have received a buff. Success rate in beast taming has increased: The success rate of the next tame has increased by 20%.] Another buff had appeared. A diamond-grade luxurious bed was sometimes so awesome! After breakfast, Luo Yu was about to milk the cow when a notification suddenly came. [Notification: A Xuanqiu Beast Mother is being chased by a group of aboriginal soldiers. You can choose to shelter it. After choosing to shelter it, you will face the attack of the aboriginals.] [The enemies you might face: Archers x3, Melee Soldiers x6] ¡°Huh?¡± The sudden notification shocked Luo Yu. As mentioned in the Heavenly Dao World¡¯s rules, a special event would appear before the raid at the end of the month. It had indeed come! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 33 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Fang Yumeng: ¡°Oh my god, a special event!¡± ¡°Mine is a supply bag. If it lands randomly, it might hurt my house, vegetable garden, partners or my stuff. Let me choose. How should I choose? I¡¯m waiting online. Urgent!¡± Alice said, ¡°Mine is also a supply bag. What about you guys?¡± Niu Da: ¡°Me too! Of course, I let it fall. Anyway, there¡¯s nothing in my base!¡± Alina said, ¡°My special event was a group of lost huskys applying to enter the territory. It is said they might cause damage to my territory¡­ Are huskies puppies something?¡± ¡°What damage can a puppy do?¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Hey, hey, hey, why do I have a geological event? The notification says that there will be a special ore protrusion that might cause damage to my base!¡± Everyone had encountered everything. Fang Yumeng asked, ¡°Luo Yu, what about you? What¡¯s the situation over there?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°It said that a small animal is being chased and needs my protection. And if I save it, I might be attacked by the native people.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Hiss! Natives! Quickly reject it. No matter how cute small animals are, their lives are not as important as yours.¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°I think you should all choose to accept it. The losses caused by such an incident should not be as high as the benefits.¡± ¡°Just be careful.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll choose to accept it! But you have to choose to reject it. Safety first!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Yes, I accepted it too!¡± Under Luo Yu¡¯s encouragement, everyone chose to accept it. Luo Yu looked at the selection box in front of him and did not hesitate much. He did not know what a Xuanqiu Beast Mother was, but he needed to fight off the natives! It was a good opportunity to test the power of the Automatic Crossbows. ¡°Confirm!¡± After clicking in the air, the notification box in front of him immediately turned red. [Prompt: The Xuanqiu Beast Mother has joined your territory and become your pet.] Sure enough, a petite figure appeared at the edge of the grassland in the east. She stumbled towards the wall, her face filled with panic and fear. Luo Yu saw her clearly. The so-called Xuanqiu Beast Mother looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old human girl. She was wearing animal skin and had a pair of fox ears on her head. Her long hair looked very beautiful and she had a furry tail behind her. Unlike a human girl, this lady¡¯s nose protruded a little, and she looked more like a fox. Then, there was faint fur on both sides of her face. [Xuanqiu Beast Mother (19 years old, adult, currently in a state of panic): Strength 20, Constitution 18, Agility 31, high-level intelligent animal, can do simple work.] [Special Abilities: Treasure Hunting, Archery Proficiency] [Current hair growth progress: 57%] This attribute shocked Luo Yu. This fox lady was very strong and had a special ability. Most importantly, her hair seemed to be a resource. Impressive, it was a huge profit! [Warning: A group of natives is attacking your territory.] After the fox maiden ran to a range of 300 meters from the wall, a group of natives with weapons appeared in the east. There were six men and three women, exactly nine people. They ran towards the base. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Ah ah ah!¡± The Xuanqiu Beast Mother looked like a human, but she could not speak, so she screamed to express the fear in her heart. She looked at the wall in desperation. When she saw Luo Yu, her eyes were filled with helplessness, as if she was saying, ¡°Master, save me!¡± Where¡¯s your 31 Dexterity? Why are you panicking? Luo Yu laughed in his heart. Helpless, he went down the wall and opened a crack in the stone gate. Then, he waved at the beast lady, who rushed inside the stone gate with a whoosh. As soon as he closed the gate, the beast lady threw herself into Luo Yu¡¯s arms and cried. This little animal smelled a little good and was quite soft to carry¡­ Well, it was a small animal, right? Luo Yu patted her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright now. Come, follow me up the wall.¡± ¡°Wuqiu!¡± Fortunately, the beast lady understood human language. Seeing that Luo Yu had turned around and was about to climb the wall, she hurriedly grabbed the back of Luo Yu¡¯s clothes and followed him in a panic. It was as if she was unwilling to leave her master for a moment. As expected of a high-intelligence animal, the beast lady¡¯s emotional expression was much more complicated than that of a cow. The cow would just lick him directly. In the distance, the nine natives quickly approached the wall. In a moment, they had advanced to a range of 1,000 meters. Squeak¡­ There was the sound of wood rubbing against each other. In the next moment, with a whoosh, a round limestone flew out of the wall, drew an arc, and fell with a bang! The Automatic Catapult was the first to fire! BOOM! With an explosion, rocks landed three meters away from the group of natives. The soil and rocks that flew up directly sent two men holding spears flying. Upon closer inspection, their arms and legs had already been broken. ¡°A catapult!¡± ¡°Charge!¡± The bearded man who was the leader of the nine natives shouted. The few of them ignored their injured companions and rushed towards the wall at full speed. The catapults had limited effective range. If they were too close, it would also be unable to attack the target. BOOM! Another stone landed seven to eight meters away from them. Although it was far away, a flying stone directly pierced into the thigh of a female archer and blood flowed like a spring on the spot, causing her to lose her combat strength. ¡°Quick, we¡¯re almost there. Let¡¯s build a human ladder and rush up the wall!¡± The bearded man shouted! The few of them walked faster, but suddenly, there was the sound of wind breaking. Swoosh! An arrow pierced the shoulder of a male archer, causing him to fall to the ground. He struggled to get up and charge towards the wall. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The Automatic Crossbows fired at the same frequency. The bearded man in the lead also had his arm injured by a crossbow bolt. He said with a murderous aura, ¡°There are crossbows in the front. Go to the left!¡± The few of them began to circle to the left, trying to bypass the arrows in the front and climb the wall from the side. This surprised Luo Yu slightly. These natives actually did not blindly charge forward. It could be seen that they were quite capable. Unfortunately, there was also an Automatic Crossbow installed in the left corner. Swoosh! The sudden arrow shot out and nailed the head of a male spearman. The man screamed, but he still took seven to eight steps before he collapsed and died. To be able to survive a headshot for so long, his physique was quite high. There were originally nine people, but they had lost four people before they could even reach fifty meters from the wall. The burly man with a beard roared with red eyes, ¡°Charge forward and dismantle his crossbows!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a javelin shot over and pierced through his chest, nailing him to the ground. ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°Ah, run!¡± Luo Yu was about to throw another javelin, but the remaining people could not hold on anymore and turned around to run. This team was far inferior to the elites who had attacked last time. This would not work? [Prompt: The natives are escaping.] It was time for the favorite capture segment again!

Chapter 34 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The Silver-armored Ladybug was the first to rush out, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced on a female spearman. Luo Yu rode the big bull and rushed out of the stone gate with Dumby. In the end, the beast lady jumped onto the big bull¡¯s back and wanted to chase after them with its master! How did she become so agile? Why wasn¡¯t she so agile when she was being chased? Unsurprisingly, all the natives who had fled were captured. Including the two who had lost their arms and legs, there were a total of seven captives. Luo Yu simply redeemed the two prisoners with broken arms and legs from the tribe. Each of them was worth 1,000 silver. Just as he was about to click confirm to redeem them, Luo Yu suddenly had an idea. Could he trigger a critical hit when he asked for a ransom? After chanting in his heart, he clicked confirm. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered. The tribe leader of the Skasa Tribe mistakenly treated the soldier with a broken leg and hand as his biological son and handed over all the silver that the tribe had.] [You have obtained 80,000 silver.] ¡°Pfft!¡± Luo Yu almost laughed out loud. How could this be a critical hit! There was a flash of light in front of his eyes and the two disabled soldiers disappeared. [Prompt: The leader of the Skasa Tribe realized that he had been deceived and his hatred towards you increased.] The higher the hatred, the higher the probability of a raid, and the intensity of the raid would also increase. He had earned a lot of money, but Luo Yu felt that something was wrong. What if they raided him every day? Speaking of which, here was the problem. The Skasa Tribe no longer had any money. As for the remaining five intact natives, they could not be sold. He could only wait for the tribe¡¯s silver to refresh next month or think of another way to deal with them. Luo Yu was about to forge handcuffs to chase the captives away to mine when a [World Notification] suddenly attracted his attention. Vampire (Anonymous): ¡°The special incident is over. Friends who have captured natives alive can send me a private message. The price is negotiable.¡± Someone was taking captives! Dragon Race (Anonymous) ¡°Blood Suckers are going to drink blood again? Disgusting race.¡± Holy Light Race (Anonymous), ¡°Vampires are all devils. Everyone, don¡¯t make deals with devils!¡± Vampire Race (Anonymous): ¡°We¡¯ve all been teleported to this godforsaken place by the Heavenly Dao. Who are you calling a devil? If you¡¯re so holy and capable, don¡¯t kill!¡± Ghost Race (Anonymous): ¡°A bunch of idiots. At this stage, all of us have just started. How many people have high enough Base Score that can trigger tribes to raid them? Why don¡¯t you say that the Empire¡¯s martial artists will attack them?¡± The World Channel started to have a war of words. This kind of war of words often appeared, especially when powerful races cursed each other for a long time. Races like humans and orcs basically did not dare to speak. The strong and the weak were clearly distinguished. Luo Yu directly clicked on the vampire¡¯s profile and opened the trading interface. ¡°Brother, I have five natives here, three men and two women. How are you going to accept them?¡± ¡°Oh? You¡¯re a human? Do humans have this ability?¡± The Vampire Race member was very curious, and Luo Yu replied, ¡°I was just lucky.¡± Vampire Race: ¡°Although the Human Race is a weak race, I won¡¯t cheat you. The ransom for natives is only one to two thousand yuan. How about this? I¡¯ll give you 2,000 yuan per person. I want all five of them.¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°2,000 yuan? Get lost. Why should I trade with you for such a small amount of money?¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± ¡°Are you talking to me with an attitude?¡± The vampire were furious. However, Luo Yu did not indulge him and directly closed the chat window. He had just earned a huge sum of money,, so Luo Yu did not care about a few thousand silver, but it was also impossible to keep them as captives to mine. After ending the conversation, Luo Yu also sent a world message. Earthling (Anonymous): ¡°This Vampire Clan member is not sincere in trading at all. He is deliberately leading a war. Everyone, ignore him!¡± For a moment, the war of words in the World Channel became even more intense. This vampire was different from his brother from the Barbaric Bull Race back then, as the former had a backbone and did not send another transaction window. But after a full five minutes of stalemate, the vampire finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and sent another message to the window. Vampire Race: ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ve never humiliated anyone. I will forget about the disrespect you showed me just now.¡± ¡°Human brat, I¡¯ll pay 3,000 per person. If you want to sell, then sell. If not, then forget it.¡± ¡°10,000.¡± Luo Yu replied calmly. ¡°What! You dare to cheat me?¡± Luo Yu calmly replied, ¡°Sir, let me finish. What I¡¯m saying is that male captives are priced at 10,000 silver, while the female captives are priced at 20,000 silver.¡± Vampire Race: ¡°Huh? You¡­ You know that our Vampire Race needs women to neutralize the blood in our bodies?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious?¡± ¡°30,000.¡± Luo Yu immediately demanded an exorbitant price. ¡°Two female captives for 30,000 yuan each. If you want to buy it, buy it. If not, I¡¯ll keep it for myself to play with.¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I won¡¯t sell it for less than a silver!¡± ¡°F*ck you, you¡¯re even greedier than the gluttonous ghosts in hell!¡± ¡°RNM, are you buying it or not? Don¡¯t waste my time!¡± The Vampire Race member closed the chat window in anger, but he seemed to need these captives. Not long after, he sent another message to the trading window. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk nonsense with you anymore. Let¡¯s make a deal!¡± After saying that, he actually placed 90,000 silver on the table. He seemed to be in a hurry. To think that he was so rich. Luo Yu felt that this person must have killed the big black fish and obtained a huge benefit. Luo Yu did not waste any time and directly placed the five captives on the shelves. [Transaction successful. You have obtained 90,000 silver.] [You have traded captives as commodities and angered the Skasa Tribe. Their hatred for you has increased.] In a flash, the five of them disappeared. Vampire Race: ¡°Human worm, I¡¯ll remember you. Live an ignoble life. Don¡¯t let me locate your base!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Idiot, you¡¯d better not let me find the location of your base. I¡¯ll let you eat your own balls!¡± Both sides threw down harsh words and cut off the communication. In fact, it was just trash talk. Whether it was mercenaries or visitors, they needed the other party¡¯s permission to enter the other party¡¯s base. At this stage of technology, it was impossible for them to attack each other. Luo Yu had earned a huge sum of 170,000 yuan in one go. This raid was really a huge profit! He wanted to build more more Automatic Arrow Towers. Luo Yu took advantage of the fact that the price of wood was very low and bought more than 60,000 units of wood in one go, piling it up into a small mountain inside the wall. Next was iron ore. Currently, there was no iron ore in the base, and making Automatic Arrow Towers required 5,000 iron ore resources. He went to the auction house to search again, but unfortunately, there were too few of them, and the price was very expensive. It was not worth it. ¡°Do we have to dig it ourselves? There are still three days before the raid. Is there enough time to dig up so many iron ore?¡± Luo Yu hesitated. At this moment, the people in the group basically resolved this special incident and started chatting again. Fang Yumeng: ¡°Three supply bags, a longbow, a box of arrows that will automatically return, and a hand crossbow.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the three of us girls can¡¯t pull the bow¡­¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Niu Da: ¡°Why do I only have one supply bag? I will gave you a Crystal Essence Stone. Why do I need this thing?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Crystal Essence Stone? Take a screenshot for me to see.¡± After Niu Da took a screenshot, it was indeed a Crystal Essence Stone. This was the prerequisite to unlocking mercenary technology. Luo Yu was about to say something when Na Ke Er said, ¡°Sigh, my special geological event spat out a large piece of iron ore that is like a small mountain. I don¡¯t want iron ore, I want stone bricks¡­¡± ¡°A big piece of iron ore!¡± Luo Yu¡¯s heart stirred again. Alina said, ¡°The three huskies are quite cute. Why do you say that they can tear down our homes?¡± Alice said, ¡°Eh, do you all have such good things? My supply bag gave me an Automatic Defense Core. What¡¯s the use of that?¡± Everyone: ¡°?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Oh my god, an Automatic Defense Core. You¡¯re too lucky!¡± Alice: ¡°Yumeng, do you want to trade?¡± ¡°Your longbows and automatic retrieval arrows in exchange for my Automatic Defense Core?¡± ¡°That¡¯s good¡­¡± ¡°Well, I feel that Sister Alice is at a disadvantage¡­¡± Fang Yumeng was a little embarrassed, but Alice said, ¡°Bow and arrows are the foundation of us Elves. I feel I¡¯m the one taking advantage¡­¡± Both sides took what they needed to increase their survival rate. Na Ke¡¯er said, ¡°That¡¯s great. I have so much iron ore, but I can¡¯t use it. I want to exchange it for stone bricks to build a beautiful wall.¡± Luo Yu asked, ¡°How many units of iron ore do you have?¡± ¡°Eh? Right, Luo Yu loves to mine!¡± Na Ke Er sent a screenshot in the group. A huge iron ore suddenly appeared on the grassland. It looked like there were at least 10,000 units. Luo Yu said, ¡°10,000 units of iron ore can be sold on the market for at least 100,000 silver. You¡¯re rich!¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°But someone has to buy it first.¡± ¡°Luo Yu, can I exchange 5,000 iron ore for the stones you cut?¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you 50,000 stone bricks. Let¡¯s trade.¡± Everyone: ¡°50,000! Luo Yu, do you really like mining so much?¡± Luo Yu: ¡°Work is the most glorious. I love work!¡± The transaction window was sent over, and the two of them immediately traded. Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s bricks made out of Black Spotted Stone! That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Hehehe, this way, we have enough stone bricks to build the wall. We won¡¯t be afraid of the raids anymore! Thank you, Luo Yu!¡± Everyone: ¡°Bricks made out of Black Spotted Stone?!¡± Alice said, ¡°Na Ke¡¯er, you have to treat Luo Yu better in the future. It¡¯s not easy to cut Black Spotted Bricks.¡± Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Luo Yu laughed in his heart. It was not easy to cut, but he had the Heavenly Crafting Saber and could cut it very quickly. Luo Yu said, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Ke¡¯er, hurry up and move the iron ore back. When the raid starts, they might take it away for you.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Na Ke¡¯er seemed very happy. Niu Da: ¡°I also want to exchange¡­¡± Luo Yu asked, ¡°Old Bull, your Crystal Essence Stone is not cheap either. What do you want to exchange it for?¡± ¡°Weapons!¡± Niu Da said straightforwardly, ¡°Weapons like axes, shields, and bows. Then, I want food. I¡¯ve eaten half of the grass¡­¡± If it were anything else, Luo Yu might be in a difficult position, but he happened to have weapons like axes, shields, and bows. The two raids had given him many weapons! Luo Yu directly sent a trading window over and placed the axe, wooden arrow, shield, javelin, and 500 units of meat and vegetables on it. Luo Yu asked, ¡°Is this enough?¡± Niu Da: ¡°Enough! And javelins. That¡¯s great! I learned how to throw javelins in the past. I need to don¡¯t panic anymore!¡± As he spoke, he placed the Crystal Essence Stone on the window. [Transaction successful.] Looking at the Crystal Essence Stone in his hand, the corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth curled into a smile. This way, the Mercenary Technology could be unlocked! Luo Yu said, ¡°Old Bull, the value of my stuff is actually inferior to your Crystal Essence Stone. How about this? I¡¯ll give you another 5,000 silver. Buy whatever you want yourself.¡± Niu Da: ¡°Luo Yu¡­ you¡¯re really a good person. I¡¯m definitely going to be your brother!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony. We¡¯re brothers.¡± After giving 5,000 silver to Old Bull, Luo Yu chatted with everyone and started operating. The first thing he did was naturally to build arrow towers! [Automatic Arrow Tower (3,000): Wood*30,000, Iron*5,000, Silver*2,500] The effective range of the arrow tower was 200 meters, and the length of one side of Luo Yu¡¯s wall was 100 meters. In other words, as long as the arrow tower was placed in the center spot, it would be enough to cover the entire base. The 150 meters outside the base was also the range of the arrow tower. Moreover, an Automatic Arrow Tower would not fire just one arrow each time. Instead, it fired five arrows at once, wave after wave. It was an Automatic Arrow Tower after all. It was much more powerful than the Automatic Crossbows. Luo Yu chose to place the arrow tower at the back of the villa. As light flickered in front of his eyes, the arrow tower rumbled and stood up. It was 20 meters tall. Although it had a wooden frame, the outer layer was wrapped in iron, making it look a little mighty. A sense of security arose in Luo Yu¡¯s heart. these arrow towers were really effective. If he had enough resources, he could just build a few more Automatic Arrow Towers to deal with the raid. Everyone in the chat group had taken what they needed, and Luo Yu had also started his day¡¯s work. First, he released water to harvest seafood, then milked the cows. Due to his Beast Taming level, he could squeeze out 35 units of milk in one go. ¡°Wuqiu.¡± The Xuanqiu Beast Mother seemed to want to drink milk. Luo Yu naturally let such a cute little animal drink enough milk. Looking at the little cutie who was gulping milk, Luo Yu smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a name. Let¡¯s call you Xiao Kong from now on.¡± ¡°Wuqiu.¡± Xiao Kong called out softly with a smile on her face. She was very cute. This was an animal that a fierce man should raise! As an animal with a high IQ, other than not being able to speak, Xiao Kong basically knew all the other basic labor. Mining, planting, irrigation, hunting, and fishing, she could do it all. Moreover, unlike the fixed skill level of his insects, Xiao Kong¡¯s skill level could be increased. Although they were all Level 0 now, as her proficiency increased, they would eventually level up. Though, she could not do high-level labor, such as medical care, cutting, and manufacturing. After drinking the milk, Xiao Kong took the initiative to run to the vegetable field and started to water it with a wooden bucket. Looking at her life skill experience, it was indeed increasing. Luo Yu smiled faintly and opened the technology interface, directly choosing to unlock the Mercenary Technology. [Unlock Mercenary Technology: Silver*5,000, Crystal Essence Stone*1] After clicking confirm, there was another notification: [You can go to the Mercenary Plaza to pay a certain percentage of the deposit and update your personal information. You can also accept missions or be invited by others.] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 36 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Luo Yu clicked on the Mercenary Square. [You are a Black Iron-rank powerhouse. Do you wish to pay a deposit of 5,000 silver to register as a mercenary? Note: If you fail the mission or voluntarily give up the mission, your deposit will be confiscated.] Luo Yu was not in a hurry to register. Instead, he browsed through the Mercenary Square. First, there was already some information in the mercenary mission registration column. It was not much, less than a hundred. [Black Iron-rank mercenary (Iron Race, male): Mission Price: 10,000 silver per mission. Current number of missions: 0. Success rate: 0%] [Black Iron-rank Mercenary (Avian Race, Male): Price: 15,000 silver per mission. Current number of missions: 0. Success rate: 0%] ¡­ Other than mercenaries from powerful races like the Dragon Race and the Angel Race who had reached a higher rank, the rest were basically at the Black Iron-rank. Their price range was about the same, above 10,000 silver and below 20,000 silver. Luo Yu browsed through another column. This column was a list of missions. [Human (Anonymous, female) has issued an employment mission: I hope there will be an expert protecting me through the raid at the end of the month. I will give 2,000 silver!] [Wolf Race (Noica, female) has issued an employment character: Are there any mercenaries of the same race as me? Come and help me survive the raid at the end of the month. The reward is 2,000 silver. Also, if you want to do anything, private chat!] [Rabbit Race (Anonymous, male)¡­] Compared to the number of mercenaries, the mission list had thousands of pages, but the price was mostly below 3,000 silver. This was also a normal phenomenon. Those with money did not need to be protected. They just needed to buy all kinds of defensive equipment. Those without money could not afford to pay too high a price. After a preliminary understanding of the mercenary profession, Luo Yu chose to pay silver to become an honorable mercenary. His message was immediately posted on the wall, but Luo Yu chose to remain anonymous. [Black Iron-rank mercenary: Human Race (Anonymous, male): Currently not accepting missions.] It was a simple message. At the moment, Luo Yu did not have any plans to go on a mission unless he safely survived the month-end raid. After leaving the Mercenary Square, he cast his gaze at Xiao Kong. Xiao Kong¡¯s attributes were actually quite strong, as she could quickly finish watering the field. She wanted to follow Luo Yu to the mine, but she was assigned another task. ¡°Fishing¡­¡± Although there were no 100% increase in the catching rare, one of Xiao Kong¡¯s special skills was [Treasure Hunt]. Luo Yu had carefully read the description of the [Treasure Hunt] skill, which stated when engaged in excavation, fishing, searching, or exploration, there was a chance of obtaining a treasure chest. He would let her try fishing today. Time passed slowly, and soon, the sun was setting. Dumby, who was lying beside the vegetable field, yawned in boredom. When it saw the stone gate being pushed open, it immediately ran over. It knew that its master had arrived. Luo Yu patted Dumby¡¯s head. Today¡¯s work had ended successfully. Not bad. He had dug up a lot of stones and iron ore, but Earth-digging Worms had not appeared for the past few days. Did he have to wait for next month for them to respawn? Speaking of which, now that his mining level had increased, he needed the Golden-shelled Beetle and the bull to pull the cart to satisfy the transportation needs. ¡°Wuqiu!¡± Xiao Kong ran to Luo Yu with a treasure chest and chirped as if she was asking for credit. This chest was different from the iron chest that Luo Yu had fished up previously. It had patterns and looked a little more advanced. [Treasure chest found by the Xuanqiu Beast Mother] ¡°It is indeed a treasure chest!¡± After Luo Yu patted Xiao Kong¡¯s head, he hurriedly opened the treasure chest. [Strength Enhancement Scroll: Strength +3 after use.] ¡°Beautiful!¡± Luo Yu¡¯s body flashed, and his strength increased to 55 points! Now, he needed 2,000 silver to increase one unit of strength. Therefore, Xiao Kong¡¯s treasure chest was equivalent to earning 6,000 silver in one go. How nice! In addition to the treasure chest that Xiao Kong had obtained, she had also caught an ordinary iron chest. Luo Yu was slightly stunned when he opened it. [Cobra Egg (Fertilized)] ¡°Eh, there¡¯s actually such a thing?¡± Luo Yu looked at Dumby, but it actually ran away. After being slightly stunned, he decided not to let Dumby incubate the egg. Currently, the temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius, so the egg could hatch even if it was placed there. Luo Yu placed the cobra egg in an empty room in the big villa and had dinner with Xiao Kong. Now, they were all eating barbecued food, as they did not have a stove or a cooking table. After eating barbecued fish for so long, they were a little tired of it. ¡°Let¡¯s set up a cooking table after the raid.¡± Luo Yu secretly made up his mind. A cooking table could make graded food, and there was a chance of obtaining a buff after eating high-grade food. It could even increase attribute points. It had to be known that it was a little difficult to obtain these attribute points now. Moreover, according to the instructions of the Heavenly Dao World, after all the attribute points reached 100, he could not use silver to increase his attributes and could only increase them through other methods. Cooking was one of the methods. The reason why he could have his attributes now was because in his initial state, the Heavenly Dao had given him a way out. Otherwise, with so many living beings in the universe, many of their attribute points were very low. How many of them could survive the first wave of raids? After dinner, Luo Yu soaked in the bathtub as usual. After chatting with everyone for a while, he entered the arena. The number of rooms today was even fewer than before. Even Autumn Leaf did not come to open a room. Everyone focused their energy on the upcoming raid. After randomly finding a few people to fight and earning less than 1,000 silver, Luo Yu made a new discovery after leaving the arena. In the not-so-big bathtub, a soft, snow-white body leaned against him¡­ ¡°Wuqiu¡­¡± Xiao Kong rubbed her little head against Luo Yu¡¯s chest, looking very intimate. ¡°Well ¡­¡± Luo Yu felt a little dizzy, but his rationality told him that Xiao Kong in his arms was an animal, an animal, an animal! Even so, the touch on a girl¡¯s body was so gentle¡­ ¡°She¡¯s an animal! You can¡¯t do strange things to animals!¡± As Luo Yu thought this, his hands uncontrollably wrapped around Xiao Kong¡¯s small waist. ¡°Wuqiu!¡± Xiao Kong called out softly, as if she was blushing. ¡°F*ck, why are you blushing! Don¡¯t act like a girl!¡± Luo Yu couldn¡¯t take it anymore, but everyone had talent, and his talent was beginning to show. When he was young, he often listened to his grandmother recite Buddhist scriptures. Under his influence, he could recite it backwards. ¡°The Bodhisattva of Avalokitesvara walks to a time when the waves are dense. When he summons the five elements, they are all empty. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form¡­¡± While Luo Yu was meditating, Xiao Kong was playing in the water happily. After meditating, he really suppressed the evil fire in his heart. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s alright. After all, we are not of the same species and have reproductive isolation. If only the one in the bathtub was Fang Yumeng.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 37 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations With this thought in mind, Luo Yu prepared to fantasize, but he realized that he did not know what Fang Yumeng looked like, so he gave up. [You are intimate with the Xuanqiu Beast Mother. You have received a buff: Planting level+2. Duration: 1 day.] By the way, as a high-level companion-type animal, there was a chance of obtaining a buff by being intimate with them. I only agreed to enter the bathtub with Xiao Kong to strengthen myself! Yes, this was for survival! Luo Yu no longer felt the last bit of guilt in his heart. He chuckled and said, ¡°Come, Xiao Kong. Let Master see if there are lice on your tail. You have to wash it properly!¡± After fooling around with the little fox girl for a while, Luo Yu went to sleep on his luxurious bed. Xiao Kong followed him into the room and curled up on the soft [Animal Bed] in the corner to sleep comfortably. That was where Dumby used to sleep. Yesterday, Luo Yu had made a small wolf den for Dumby by the vegetable field, for it to guard the vegetable field 24 hours a day. Then, there was coincidentally an empty spot here. A moment later, seeing that Xiao Kong had fallen asleep, Luo Yu suddenly thought of something. Would the buff probability of a luxurious bed be effective on Xiao Kong? At the thought of this, he got off the bed and carried Xiao Kong to the bed to sleep together. They just went to sleep and nothing else. When he woke up in the morning, Luo Yu did not receive a buff. After all, a 60% chance was not something that could be triggered every day. He turned to look at Xiao Kong and was slightly stunned. He realized that her hair had become so long. [Xiao Kong has received a buff: Hair growth +300% (Continues for 1 day)] ¡°No wonder her hair suddenly became so long. What kind of buff is this?¡± Luo Yu looked at the growth rate of her hair. It had already reached 100% in one night. Speaking of which, he happened to have the beast taming buff, which would increase the resource output of animals. He directly used the Heavenly Crafting Saber to cut off this pile of brown hair. ¡°Argh¡­¡± Xiao Kong felt uncomfortable and woke up. When he saw Luo Yu pointing a knife at her, she was really shocked. She thought that her master was going to slaughter her and eat her meat. ¡°Wuqiu¡­¡± Those little eyes were really pitiful. But after knowing that Luo Yu was just cutting her hair, she leaned close to her master and giggled. Xuanqiu Beast Mother¡¯s Hair*130 Originally, there were only 100 units. When his Beast Taming level increased, he was able to obtain more. He looked at the attributes of the hair and found that it was amazing. Its defense and toughness were very strong. The protective equipment made from her hair was at least Bronze-grade. Most importantly, it could prevent cold and heat! [Maximum comfortable temperature +10, minimum comfortable temperature -10] This attribute was awesome. A normal person might have a heatstroke at 40¡ãC, but wearing underwear made of hair would increase that limit to 50¡ãC. It was simply a divine artifact that could resist heatstroke and hypothermia! ¡°Xiao Kong, the weather is about to heat up. Let¡¯s get a bald head, okay?¡± Luo Yu wanted more hair. As for whether Baldy was cute or not, it seemed insignificant in front of resources¡­ ¡°Wuqiu!¡± Xiao Kong seemed to have spat at her owner and ran out of the villa with a smile. ¡°Are foxes afraid of having a bald head?¡± Luo Yu also laughed out loud, his mood extremely good. Just like before, after doing what he had to do every day, Luo Yu began to study Xiao Kong¡¯s hair. His upper body was protected by a heart-protecting mirror, but there was only an ordinary pair of pants on his lower body. He wanted to harvest Xiao Kong¡¯s hair while the buff lasted and use it as a pair of pants to deal with the imminent raid. His [Tailoring] skill was LV0, so it was difficult to make pants even with such a large amount of hair. If he wanted to successfully make clothes with a relatively low [Tailoring] skill, he would need some support. He looked at the construction interface. [Sewing Table: Iron Ore*500, Wood*500, Silver*100, Sewing Desk Blueprint*1] Everything else was fine, but this sewing table blueprint was difficult to find. Only the chest he caught from fishing and the supply boxes given by special events could produced this kind of item. He checked the auction house and realized that there were two sewing table designs. But both of them were priced at 100,000 silver. It was ridiculous. World Channel, Human Race (Anonymous): 10,000 yuan for a sewing table blueprint. Quickly come! After waiting for a moment, no one came to sell it. Just as Luo Yu was about to give up, someone suddenly sent a transaction window. That person simply said, ¡°50,000 yuan. As you can see, this thing is priced at 100,000 yuan at the auction house.¡± Luo Yu: ¡°You¡¯re crazy about money. 10,000 yuan for the blueprint. That¡¯s the price.¡± ¡°When there are more people who will go fishing, this kind of blueprint will quickly become worthless.¡± ¡°This¡­ 20,000 can¡¯t be less.¡± Seeing this reduced price, the corners of Luo Yu¡¯s mouth curled up as he insisted, ¡°10,000. That¡¯s all I can offer. We¡¯re about to get raided. Do you want silver or this blueprint? Think carefully.¡± ¡°15,000!¡± ¡°This is my bottom line!¡± That person¡¯s selling price was lowered again. Luo Yu waited for a while before replying, ¡°11,000, let¡¯s trade.¡± As he spoke, he directly placed the 11,000 yuan worth of silver on it. Seeing that Luo Yu was so straightforward, that person hesitated for a moment before placing the blueprint on the transaction window. After confirming that it was this blueprint, Luo Yu confirmed the transaction. [Transaction successful. You have obtained a sewing table blueprint*1] ¡°Bye-bye. Good luck with the raid.¡± After Luo Yu said a few polite words, he closed the chat window. He had obtained the blueprint! He walked to the first floor of the villa. There was no special workspace yet, so he would temporarily place the sewing table in the living room! After a series of operations, a light flashed in front of his eyes and a beautiful sewing table appeared. [Sewing Table (Consumes fuel and can be upgraded): Increases the efficiency and success rate of clothing production and has a chance of making graded items.] Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction. Such a workbench could be upgraded. The upgrade was not done with silver, but with the upgrade voucher obtained by fishing. The higher the level of the workbench, the better the quality of the things produced. There was no doubt about that. As for fuel, it was naturally wood. He did not know the principle behind it, but it used wood to operate. Luo Yu was overjoyed. After reading the manual, he directly placed ten pieces of wood in and prepared to start making clothing! In fact, the process of making it was very simple. All he had to do was put the materials into the material box on the sewing table and follow the instructions that jumped out. It was not a difficult task. Human Pants: Raw Materials*200 Good lord, pants required a lot of hair. He would wait until Xiao Kong¡¯s hair grew out tomorrow. For the rest of the time, Luo Yu did not go mining. Instead, he went to dig traps. Xiao Kong went fishing like yesterday, hoping to catch something good.

Chapter 38 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations On the easternmost side of the territory, Luo Yu directly dug a huge pit near the only entrance of his territory. There were pointed bamboos in the pit, and if one fell in, they would immediately be pierced into a hornet¡¯s nest. It was just a little wasteful using this much bamboo. For an entire day, Luo Yu dug more than ten pits. The first reason why he dug these pits was because it could deplete the other party¡¯s combat strength, and secondly, it could slow down the other party¡¯s advances, providing more time for the Automatic Arrow Tower and the Automatic Crossbows to attack. After digging the pits, it was already evening. The little fox girl had fished up another iron chest today. This time, she had actually got a fried chicken. Most importantly, this fried chicken was at the Dark Iron grade¡­ After eating barbecue for so long, this was the first time Luo Yu felt that fried chicken was so delicious. As expected of a Black Iron-grade fried chicken, it even gave him a buff after eating: The success rate of recruiting captives was increased by 10% (continued for three days). At night, the atmosphere in the chat group was a little oppressive. In two days, they would raided! Whether they were going to be dead or alive was unknown. The next morning, after Luo Yu finished his daily tasks, he cut Xiao Kong¡¯s hair until he had 200 units of her hair. He started to make his pants. When operating the sewing machine, he chose to use a critical hit. [Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered] The system notification appeared. In the next moment, the entire sewing machine flashed and a pair of pants slowly pushed out from the outlet. [Pants made from Xiao Kong¡¯s hair (Platinum): Defense +50%, resistance to cold and heat increased by 50%.] ¡°Platinum-grade pants!¡± Luo Yu was overjoyed. He immediately took off his work pants and changed into these platinum-grade pants. The first feeling was that it was so comfortable. The lower half of his body felt extremely refreshed. In this way, the defense of the lower half of his body would be very solid, making him feel very safe! Luo Yu was very satisfied with his pants. Today was also a passionate day! With enough traps dug, what he had to do today was dig a moat. Luo Yu planned to dig out a moat along the wall. This moat would delay their advances, while also giving more time for the automatic defense weapons to shoot. At the same time, he would place the Stone-Armored Turtles in the moat to ambush the enemy! This was a huge project, but Luo Yu¡¯s strength and stamina were no longer the same as before. Moreover, Xiao Kong was also an expert at digging mud. The two of them worked for a full day and a half before they finally finished digging the moat. The moat was three meters deep and two meters wide, and simple drawbridges had been added to the four city gates. Standing on the watchtower and looking down at all of this, Luo Yu felt that his base now had the vibe of a city. After entering the HeavenlyDao World for a month, Luo Yu felt quite accomplished to be able to build a moat of this size. At night, Luo Yu, who had taken a shower, lay on the big bed and chatted with everyone. The little fox girl beside him had gone to bed early. She was also exhausted. Fang Yumeng: ¡°Is the raid coming tomorrow morning? Will it start at the same time? I¡¯m so nervous and can¡¯t sleep.¡± Alina said, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. At most, some natives will attack. It¡¯s nothing.¡± Na Ke Er: ¡°Today, I repaired the last section of the wall. I hope that the enemies tomorrow won¡¯t climb over the wall¡­¡± Alice said, ¡°May the goddess bless everyone.¡± Niu Da: ¡°After eating the food Luo Yu gave me and holding the ax Luo Yu gave me, I¡¯m filled with motivation!¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Everyone, go to bed early. Rest well and prepare for tomorrow¡¯s battle!¡± Fang Yumeng asked, ¡°Luo Yu, aren¡¯t you nervous?¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s a blessing, not a curse. Even if it¡¯s a curse, it can¡¯t be avoided. After facing it bravely, you will realize that everything is not as difficult as you think.¡± ¡°Luo Yu¡­¡± Fang Yumeng was silent for a moment before replying, ¡°Yes, what will come will come. The three of us have already thought about it. If we can survive, we will unlock the Visitor Technology and come to see you.¡± Luo Yu said, ¡°Eh? Are the three of you coming together? I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t handle it alone.¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Why do you have to handle the three¡­ Eh, what are you thinking about?!¡± Luo Yu: ¡°I¡¯m just saying I¡¯m a shy person and not good at dealing with girls. What did I¡¯m talking about?¡± Fang Yumeng said, ¡°You¡­ bully! Big pervert, when we come, the three of us will beat you up together!¡± Alice: ¡°Yumeng, Luo Yu is a good child. Don¡¯t bully him in the future.¡± Alina said, ¡°Alice, can¡¯t you¡­ tell that these two humans are talking about something strange?¡± ¡°Strange things? What strange things?¡± Alice did not understand. Na Ke¡¯er sent a series of smiley faces, and the originally oppressive atmosphere in the group instantly eased. Fang Yumeng also understood that Luo Yu was deliberately joking with her. She realized that her nervousness had dissipated a lot. Fang Yumeng: ¡°Luo Yu, don¡¯t die. Wait for us to teach you a lesson!¡± Luo Yu laughed out loud. ¡°If you have the money, you should build the wall first!¡± Under such an atmosphere, everyone fell asleep one after another. The first rays of the morning sun shone on Luo Yu through the window sill. He sat up reflexively and looked at the notification immediately. When he realized that there was no raid notification, he hurriedly got out of bed, washed up, and had breakfast. The four stone gates in the base were closed, and the suspension bridge was put away. All the animals, including the Earth-digging Worms, were put back into the base. The Stone-Armored Turtles hid in the small lake, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time. Luo Yu stood on the observation deck and looked into the distance. Beside him, Xiao Kong had a slingshot on her waist and a short sword on her back. She was also looking around nervously. Suddenly, a notification appeared. [An unknown force swept through the entire Heavenly Dao World. All kinds of native creatures began to gather and prepare to attack.] ¡°They¡¯re here!¡± Luo Yu¡¯s heart trembled. A notification had appeared, but he did not know how many waves of attacks there were in his area. Just as this thought flashed through his mind, another notification immediately appeared. [Warning, various native creatures in the area will immediately launch a raid. Please be prepared.] The first wave! His area was actually the first to be attacked! Ten seconds later, the alarm sounded again. [The nearby Skasa Tribe army has begun to attack your territory. They seem to have adopted a smart strategy.] He looked forward and indeed, a large group of natives had appeared on the east side of the territory. There were both men and women, and they were all holding weapons. Among them, five natives were actually riding Big Wild Boars as mounts! Luo Yu immediately determined the number of people on the other side: 40! At the end of the month, there were actually 40 people who came, and they even had mounts. They seemed very strong, making Luo Yu¡¯s heart skip a beat. Looking at the Base Score again, it was exactly 800 points. 20 points should be equal to an attacking unit. The mount should also be considered a weapon unit and not a separate attacking unit. Of course, the Heavenly Dao World stated that there was a special algorithm for every raid. It was basically the higher the score, the more people would attack his base. Luo Yu could clearly see that the leader of this group of native tribes was a middle-aged man! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 39 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This middle-aged man was riding a Big Wild Boar. His beard was dregs, and he wore a silver cloak that looked very conspicuous. Could he be the chief of the tribe? With that thought in mind, the middle-aged man looked in the direction of the watchtower. Their gazes met in midair. Luo Yu could see killing intent and contempt in this person¡¯s eyes. He seemed to be confident in taking down his territory. Luo Yu sneered. So what if there were forty of them? They would still be killed! ¡°Follow the original plan and advance!¡± The middle-aged chieftain shouted, and the 40 people actually split into four teams. Three of the teams began to circle around. They wanted to attack the wall from four directions at the same time, making it difficult for Luo Yu to deal with them! The person in charge of the front wall was a burly man. This person was very valiant and roared while riding a Big Wild Boar! ¡°Kill!¡± The natives of his team let out strange cries and brandished their weapons as they rushed towards the wall. However, not long after they rushed out, the ground under their feet suddenly collapsed, and the burly man and his pig fell. A miserable scream sounded as the man and pig were poked into a hornet¡¯s nest by the bamboo poles. ¡°Be careful, there¡¯s a trap!¡± The chieftain shouted. The people who were originally charging forward immediately slowed down and began to watch their feet warily. ¡°Come, slowly explore and advance. Let¡¯s see how long you can last.¡± Luo Yu sneered. He picked up a javelin and hefted it in his hand, ready to strike at any time. At the same time, the Regional Channel exploded. Okamoto Nikkawa: ¡°It¡¯s over. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to withstand the raid of four natives.¡± Zhu Lie said, ¡°You¡¯re fine. Mine is a crazy herd of cows. There are a total of 20 cows. Looks like the base is going to turn into ruins¡­¡± Iron Mantis: ¡°These tribal archers are so annoying. If you have the ability, compete with me in speed head-on!¡± The Regional Channel exploded, and the small group was in chaos. Fang Yumeng: ¡°Aiya, aiya, a tribal attack. There are seven people and two bowmen¡­ I hope my Automatic Crossbows can deal with them!¡± Luo Yu asked, ¡°How many crossbows did you make?¡± Fang Yumeng: ¡°Five crossbows. There¡¯s no wall, so they¡¯re all installed on the roof!¡± Luo Yu recalled that Fang Yumeng had said that she had 40,000 silver taels. It turned out that she had used them all to buy Automatic Crossbows! Na Ke¡¯er: ¡°Why is it a group of crazy seagulls on my side? What¡¯s worse is that they can fly. My wall is useless. Oh no, what should I do?!¡± Alina said, ¡°Shh, the hunt in the darkness has begun.¡± Alice: ¡°Poor natives, please forgive my arrows. I¡¯m just sending you to meet the great goddess.¡± Niu Da: ¡°Your Base Score is too high, so the intensity of the raid is high. My base only has one wooden house, so only two crazy big elks came. I should be able to win, right? I think so¡­¡± Luo Yu saw everyone¡¯s situation. Although it sounded easy, to be honest, it was quite dangerous. The situation on his side was also quite dangerous. There were too many enemies! On the grassland, the tribesmen slowly approached Luo Yu¡¯s base from four directions. Three of the traps on the periphery had been detected, but one had been stepped on and another native had been killed. There were still 38 people left! The other party had yet to enter his effective range. Luo Yu, who was on the watchtower, scanned the entire grassland with a cold expression. The tribal chieftain¡¯s side had shield-bearers, archers, and melee warriors. This was the same as that Sixth Prince¡¯s Elite Formation that day. As for the other three directions, they were advancing like stragglers. Luo Yu discovered that in every ten-man team, there was a person carrying a pickaxe. ¡°Engineers!¡± ¡°They want to dig through the city wall!¡± This surprised Luo Yu, but on second thought, it made sense. There was no lack of high-level mining skill among the natives. The mining level and strength value affected the speed and efficiency of excavation. If someone with mining LV10 or above came, a hole would probably be punched in his wall soon! On the contrary, if someone with a low mining level came to dig, it would only be a waste of time. Luo Yu had already made up his mind. He definitely could not let the four engineers get close to his wall. He had to think of a way to snipe them from the outside! As the four native groups gradually approached, they entered the range of the Automatic Catapult! Swoosh! A rock was blasted away. The man who was walking in front in the east side and carefully investigating the ground was hit in the head and smashed into a meat paste by the rock! There were 37 enemies left! ¡°Catapults!¡± The chieftain frowned when he saw this scene from afar. This catapult¡¯s effective range was quite far! However, he did not give the order to rush to the city wall because he did not know how many traps were buried on the seemingly flat grassland in front of him! Swoosh! Another stone fell, but this time, it missed, causing the careful natives to heave a sigh of relief. However, soon, more rocks fell. This time, the goal was the west side of the chieftain¡¯s group. In that area, there was were a small group of five, which meant there was two such small groups. The stone drew an arc and smashed into a small team. ¡°Be careful!¡± Someone shouted. The shield-bearer gritted his teeth and raised his shield to meet the rock! BANG! With a muffled sound, the shield was smashed by the rock. The shield-bearer spat out a mouthful of blood, and his arms were mangled as he fainted on the spot. Another one was killed, and there were still 36 left! The group that lost their shield-bearer and dispersed on the spot, continuing to advance like stragglers. On the watchtower, Luo Yu¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile. ¡°Smart strategy? Can it be as powerful as my catapult?¡± ¡°Whoosh¡­ Boom!¡± Another explosion sounded. This time, the catapult smashed towards the north. When a female archer saw that the rock was actually smashing towards her, she reacted extremely quickly and hurriedly jumped into the water to avoid being hit by the flying rock However, after this jump, she regretted it. There was a huge turtle hidden in the water. The turtle¡¯s head stretched out and bit her foot, dragging her into the water. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free. It was too late for the male soldiers not far away to save her! There were still 35 left! ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her. Everyone, don¡¯t go near the lake!¡± The chieftain¡¯s shout sounded. He looked at Luo Yu, his eyes filled with killing intent. After the Stone-Armored Turtle drowned the female archer, it did not kill her. Instead, it carried the female archer into the moat according to Luo Yu¡¯s instructions and swaggered to throw her under the wall. Then, a Silver-armored Ladybug flew out and grabbed the drowning female archer before dragging her into the wall. Inside the wall, a bull, a cow, a wolf, and insects were waiting for her. It would be fine if she did not wake up, but if she did, she would be shocked to death. All of this seemed very smooth. The animals¡¯ cooperation was quite tacit. They had either practiced it countless times or were repeat offenders.

Chapter 40 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Recalling that two groups of his tribe had died in this base, the chieftain felt that the probability of them being repeat offenders was higher¡­ ¡°Xiao Kong, go and tie that woman up.¡± ¡°Wuqiu!¡± Xiao Kong cried out and hurriedly climbed down the watchtower. BOOM! Another explosion sounded. The rocks thrown up by the catapult broke the arm of a spearman. He lay on the ground in pain and screamed. There were 34 left! Just the traps at the periphery and the catapult had already killed six enemies! ¡°Chieftain! Give the order to charge. We won¡¯t be able to take it if the catapult continue to aim for us like this!¡± ¡°No way!¡± The chieftain gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You can look up and see the rocks flying over, but you can¡¯t see where the trap is buried when you look down!¡± ¡°If you fall into a trap, you will definitely die!¡± The chieftain rejected this suggestion, and the group of people continued to carefully advance. Seeing this scene, a cold smile appeared on Luo Yu¡¯s face. In fact, there were no more traps ahead. If the traps were too close to the base, could his people leave? Plus, his cattle and the Golden-shelled Beetle was a little stupid. If they fell in, they would be finished. BOOM! BOOM! Rocks flew out one by one and smashed into the side of this group of people. If they were lucky, they would be splashed with mud. If they were unlucky, they would lose their arms and legs. If they were very unlucky, they would almost be smashed into meat paste. When this group of natives gritted their teeth and rushed into the 200-meter range, there were only 28 people left. ¡°Chief, we¡¯ve been tricked. There are no traps in front!¡± ¡°Bastard!¡± The chieftain roared in anger, ¡°Charge, smash open the stone gate and tear that scum into pieces!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Almost everyone in the four teams roared and rushed towards Luo Yu¡¯s base. After being aggrieved for so long, they could finally gallop on the grassland! This was the battle style of a warrior! This group of people quickly advanced to a distance of 150 meters. Just as their morale was high, there was suddenly a sound of air being torn apart. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The Automatic Arrow Tower and the Automatic Crossbows fired almost at the same time. The spear-wielding natives charging at the front in the north were directly shot to the ground by a row of arrows from the arrow towers and died on the spot. The east side was within the range of the three Automatic Crossbows. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three crossbow bolts shot out and went straight for three soldiers. The male spearman dodged, but two bowmen were shot and bled profusely. ¡°Arrows¡­¡± ¡°There are Automatic Arrow Towers and Automatic Crossbows!¡± The chieftain¡¯s eyes revealed shock. He originally thought that it was a watchtower, but he did not expect it to be an arrow tower! ¡°Shield¡± ¡°Pay attention to dodging!¡± He shouted and immediately hid behind his shield. Although they were told to pay attention to dodging the arrows, the agility of most natives was clearly not high enough to dodge the arrows. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Another volley of arrows nailed a person to death. The arrow tower was too abnormal. The shooting speed was fast and it shot out in rows. It was very difficult to dodge. There were still 25 left! 23! 22! Under the continuous shooting of the Automatic Arrow Towers and the Automatic Crossbows, more natives died. Their fighting will was quite strong, so they continued to charge forward fearlessly and quickly reached within a hundred meters. Luo Yu discovered that a native with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was abnormally agile. He had already dodged six to seven arrows. This person attracted the firepower, causing the threat of the people behind him to decrease and increase their speed. Seeing this, Luo Yu snorted and nocked an arrow. BANG! The sound of the bow vibrating rang out, and an arrow was shot out. The man who was still jumping horizontally suddenly heard the sound of wind breaking, but it was too late to dodge. The powerful arrow pierced through his chest and he died on the spot. Then, the arrows began to attack other targets. The others did not have this bit of agility, and two more people immediately died. There were 19 people remaining! Logically speaking, with such a huge loss, these natives should have fled. However, because the hatred between Luo Yu and the Skasa Tribe was very high, the other party did not retreat. At this moment, all the enemies in the east had been eliminated. The crossbow installed on the east wall had no more targets. The other crossbow bolts installed in the corner were shooting towards the south and the north, still shooting at the enemies. The catapults were still whistling, mainly bombarding the enemies in the north. The Automatic Arrow Tower was currently suppressing the enemies in the south. Luo Yu discovered that his base was facing a defensive blind spot. The enemies on the west side did not get attacked and were quickly approaching. On the west side was the team that the chieftain and the true elites of the tribe were in! He picked up a bundle of javelins, took his bow, and rushed to the western wall. At this moment, there were still seven people attacking from the west. They were all hiding behind a shield and quickly approaching. Looking at the distance, there was only 50 meters left. ¡°You think you won¡¯t die just because you have a turtle shell?¡± Luo Yu sneered and threw the javelin in his hand. The powerful force carried the sound of wind as it shot towards the shield. BANG! With an explosion, the shield was pierced on the spot, and the burly shield-bearer was directly stabbed to death on the spot. The eyes of the chieftain and the others almost popped out. This javelin definitely had more than 40 points of strength behind it. Moreover, this person¡¯s throwing technique was too awesome. Under the rapid rotation, he actually pierced through the shield! ¡°Spread out! That person is a javelin expert!¡± The chieftain shouted, but Luo Yu did not stop firing. Puff, puff, puff¡­ Three consecutive arrows shot out. Luo Yu was a man with [Bow Proficiency], so these three arrows directly killed three soldiers. Two of them were archers! There were originally seven people in the team, but Luo Yu easily defeated them. There were only three left! ¡°Bow and arrow are also so powerful?!¡± ¡°Chieftain, this place is too solid. We can¡¯t win!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s retreat!¡± As expected, the losses were too great. The people on the other side finally began to think of retreating. ¡°No!¡± The chieftain roared, ¡°This person has a deep hatred for our tribe. We have to kill him!¡± ¡°Wasp, release them!¡± The woman called Wasp took out two clay pots from her chest. After opening them, a group of hornets flew out and flew towards Luo Yu! ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I was wondering why her chest size was so majestic. So there was a hidden weapon!¡± Luo Yu sneered and drew the Heavenly Crafting Saber behind him, preparing to use the Gale Saber Technique to kill the hornets. However, something shocking happened. After the hornet flew within three meters of Luo Yu, it actually turned around and left. The bane of the Zerg race! With this passive effect, insects did not dare to approach Luo Yu! ¡°Well ¡­¡± ¡°Chieftain! There¡¯s something strange about this man!¡± The woman called Wasp cried out in shock, but in the next moment, a javelin flew over and slammed into her chest. Because she was smashed with the handle of the spear, it did not penetrate through her body. After the woman spat out a mouthful of blood, she fainted on the spot.
