If you succeed, I shall recommend to my father that you be granted greater authority.

" "Thank you," Hong replied with delight, hastily expressing his gratitude.

As Dusk approached, Fonha led his team back to their territory.

In addition to exploring the surrounding areas, they had hunted a significant number of wild beasts, thereby augmenting their reserves of meat and hides.

After all, each day a multitude awaited sustenance.

Eager for him to provide food.

Disengaging from the divine present status, he proceeded to butcher all the game.

Butchering complete, gained 7,500 meat for 150 hides, 300 bones.

On the fourth day since his arrival, the demand for meat still persisted.

Though he could endure a little hardship and eat less, the farmers and soldiers required sustenance to replenish their strength and bolster their loyalty.

He recorded the spirit field blueprint into the Lord's book.

Materials required for level one spirit field.

1500 wood, 800 stone, 300 hemp rope, five natural gems, one trace of the earth.

The blueprints for the green quality materials are extensive.

requiring a significant amount of resources.

Among them, natural gemstones and traces of the earth are rare commodities.

Fortunately, all these materials are available in the warehouse.

Holding the Lord's book, I chose a flat area outside the village for construction.

A wooden fence delineated the space while the wild grass vanished, revealing soft soil.

Unlike the hardness it had just displayed, standing at the perimeter, I measured the distance with my steps, estimating a square plot of approximately 10 m by 10 meters.

However, I lack seeds for crops.

I returned to my territory and sat on a bench in front of the wooden cabin, simmering soup while opening the regional channel.

A plethora of information scrolled past.

Which brother understands bandaging? I've been bitten by a wolf.

How should I deal with this? I can't get rabies, can I? Let us get started.

I'll sit at the children's est table.

Brothers, I'm serious.

I've really been bitten and the wound is deep.

Stop joking.

Immediately rinse the wound with water.

Then squeeze out the contaminated blood.

Is river water acceptable? It's best to use clean water to avoid infection.

All right.

Thank you, brothers.

Shortly thereafter, a private message from Fong How chimed in.

Upon opening it, I found it was the Lord who had just sought advice on treating his wound.

Is big brother Fong How there? I need assistance.

Can we trade for an iron pot? I wish to boil some water.

Chapter 17.

Crops.

Every individual has a fixed number of spoken exchanges each day.

Although some may exhaust their quota, engaging in trivial banter, the majority of lords exhibit restraint.

They refrain from superfluous chatter in the chat channel unless a matter of significance arises.

This particular lord appeared to be in urgent need, rapidly depleting his speaking allowance.

Go ahead, I shall assist you, he remarked.

Fong Hao was not a paragon of virtue, yet he was not devoid of compassion.

He did not engage in charitable acts for the sake of morality, but neither would he stand idly by and revel in another's misfortune.

Consequently, he did not demand anything in return and intended to gift him a cooking pot.

Thank you, esteemed one.

Following this, the other party privately listed the item.

Bone arrow blueprint exchange for iron pot.

Bone arrow type arrow damage level one damage description.

Arrows crafted from sharpened bones quite fragile.

Upon striking a target, the bone tip shatters.

It appeared that the other party had no intentions of exploiting the situation.

The utility of the bone arrow was indeed limited, akin to the most rudimentary of weaponry, such as a stone axe.

Without further ado, Fong Hao confirmed the exchange.

The iron pot vanished and in its place.

He now possessed a blueprint for bone arrows.

He recorded the blueprint, incorporating it into the crafting section.

Simultaneously, he recalled the previously acquired blueprint for the two-handed crossbow.

After the appearance of the skeleton merchant and the exchange for the metal parts blueprint, he had satisfied the necessary crafting conditions.

However, there had been little combat since.

The occasional beasts and skeleton soldiers were easily manageable.

Reflecting upon it, the two-handed crossbow was ideally suited for the laborious and monotonous motions of the worker skeletons.

Its lethality did not rely on the combat prowess of the skeletons themselves, but rather on the destructive power of the crossbow.

Ultimately, he decided to postpone any further action.

It was not immediately necessary.

During dinner, he listed 5 0000 units of food for the channel.

After some contemplation, he addressed the group who possesses seeds for crops.

If you have any, please message me with your prices.

The moment Fong House spoke, the scrolling chat momentarily halted.

Shortly thereafter, it erupted into a frenzy.

Wo, is the great Fong How venturing into agriculture? What is happening? Are we all in the same world while we are still struggling to survive? The esteemed one has already entered the farming era.

I seek strategies.

A few days ago, I planted a seed and despite ample fertilizer, it has yet to sprout.

According to years of clinical experience, your waste must be toxic.

How do you know? Your mouth sores are a consequence of that, aren't they? Uggh.

The conversation in the channel gradually took a peculiar turn.

What began as a discussion on agriculture morphed into a debate about fertilizers and ultimately escalated to food safety concerns.

The daily limit of 10 messages could not stifle the creative banter of the participants, infusing a modicum of joy into this perilous world.

Before long, someone initiated a private message.

Are you there, esteemed one? I possess 20 potatoes.

Would you like some? Potatoes are tuberous plants that do not bear seeds.

They could be cultivated by cutting them into pieces.

What would you like in exchange? Fonggho inquired.

Would eight units of meat suffice? The other party asked cautiously, apprehensive that Fong Hao might decline, an eventuality that would render both parties awkward.

Given the current circumstances, Fong Hao enjoyed considerable renown throughout the region.

Many individuals procured food and various tools such as iron axes and iron pots from him.

No one could predict when they might require Fong Hao as assistance, so they dared not offend him.

Likewise, Fong Hao would not quibble over the quantity exchanged.

"Very well, please list them.

" "Excellent," the other party replied joyfully, promptly listing the items.

Fong Hao completed the transaction and acquired the 20 potatoes.

Following this, he proceeded to craft a hoe.

The stone hoe was obtained yesterday while exploring the map after defeating a giant bear and opening a treasure chest.

Stone Hoe, two wood, two stone, two hemp rope.

Crafting triggered a 100fold amplification.

Acquiring stone hoe 101.

Alas, the farmland is limited and producing over a 100 hoes is rather excessive.
