Shiau recounted as she reflected on the fleeting images.

A swordsmanship competition and assisting in childbirth.

The former Shiau seemed to possess quite a range of skills.

Do not take it too much to heart.

Do not let these matters disturb your current life.

Funo stood up and advised.

Collecting 12 swords of leniency is a task within Shiao Yu<unk>s attributes and will continue to progress.

Becoming a hero is indeed a favorable outcome for Shiau.

Allowing for a better existence rather than merely being a low tier undead spirit.

Therefore, while gathering the task items, it is essential to maintain a composed mindset and avoid complications.

I understand, esteemed one, you need not worry, Shia replied, placing the swords in the cabinet and bowing once more.

Fonggho nodded and returned to the Lord<unk>'s residence for dinner.

Upon returning to the Lord<unk>'s manor, Yair had already prepared dinner.

There was fruit wine, meat steaks, and a dish reminiscent of pizza filled with vegetables and minced meat, which tasted quite delightful.

Even without side dishes, this pizza could serve as a satisfying dinner.

Eier, how's the hot pot base coming along? Fungho inquired as he ate.

Master, I have entrusted the method to the other two maids.

We will prepare the sauce together.

It will be much quicker, responded.

However, the air still somewhat struggled to comprehend Fong's intentions.

Even if one enjoyed such a sauce, it seemed excessive to prepare so much.

Once the sauce is ready, I plan to open a restaurant in the human city of Plower, specifically a hot pot establishment.

It will surely be a hit, Fonghouse stated.

Oh, so that was the purpose behind your inquiry to that old man about starting a shop.

And Jia exclaimed, her expression one of newfound understanding.

The idea of opening a hot pot restaurant had come to Fongghao yesterday.

If one were to consider the most convenient and addictive food, hot pot would undoubtedly be it.

Moreover, its preparation is straightforward, requiring no culinary expertise.

One merely needs to prepare the base and toss the ingredients into the pot.

Arranging for a few rabbit maids and fox maids would guarantee its success.

Will the people of plower even know how to use chopsticks? Yier asked softly, chewing on a steak.

Oh no, it seems they might not.

Hot pot is certainly enjoyed with chopsticks.

If one were to scoop with their hands, there would be no need to order meat, Fungha replied.

Not to worry, we can create some training chopsticks similar to using tongs.

And they will learn in no time, he suddenly thought.

There are training chopsticks designed for children that are connected at the top, making them easy to use.

After a couple of uses, one would master the technique completely.

If that is the case, there should be no issues.

The air nodded, her rabbit ears fluttering slightly.

Fonhow felt confident as well.

With a simple base, delightful flavors, and the addition of two barrels of troll brew barrels, the cost would be minimal.

Should they succeed, the profits would be quite substantial.

No matter how one looked at it, there were no foreseeable problems.

Even if the hot pot restaurant were to fail, the shop could easily be converted into a general store selling bathtubs, agricultural tools, or other goods.

Regardless, there would be no loss.

If it goes well, we can establish a chain in every city, calling it E Air Hot Pot Restaurant, Fongo declared.

In an instant, heir's face flushed, and she hurriedly exclaimed, "No, there's no significance in naming a shop after a person.

Then, let us incorporate the characteristics of our city and call it the Bone Hot Pot restaurant, or perhaps the undying hot pot.

" Funhao furrowed his brow, contemplating the name Anja, while eating interjected with a jest.

Is this meant for the living? The group continued to eat and chat, filled with laughter and merment.

Just then, the system notification chimed once more.

Random event, Bravery of the Common Man, accepted.

New feature in the Lord's book, Teaming Function activated.

In 10 hours, a team trial task will commence, allowing a maximum of three individuals to form a team for the trial.

This trial is a lord's trial, and no subordinate heroes or troops may be brought along.

Team status, a maximum of three can team up, and members will be automatically teleported to the leader territory for gathering.

Event countdown, 9 hours 59 minutes.

Wishing you the best of luck.

Chapter 171.

Champion of the tactical tournament.

The emergence of a notification caused Fong how to pause in his actions.

The mandatory task had concluded and many were engaged in discussions regarding the timing of the upcoming event quest.

Some speculated it would arrive in half a month, while others anticipated a longer wait.

Yet, it arrived far sooner than anyone had predicted.

Fong Ho opened the Lord's book and switched to the regional channel where he observed a flurry of conversations regarding the event task.

Wow, it's here already, even before the 7-day compulsory task.

What does this task entail? Am I not allowed to lead troops? If not, what am I to do? Must I venture forth alone to fight? This task is meant to be a trial for the Lord.

And yet, they restrict troop deployment.

They might as well provide us with aircraft and tanks.

Do not worry.

This is not a compulsory task.

Those fearing danger need not participate.

It is easy for you to say that if everyone else joins and you choose not to, the disparity between you and the others will only widen, leading to your inevitable demise.

I am 28 years old, wielding a green knight's sword and adorned in green armor.

Seeking a team to join.

One piece of green gear, a graduate of physical education, possesses excellent stamina.

Are there any brothers seeking a teammate? Which esteemed individual will take me along? I promised to gift a green helmet afterward.

Who would dare take you? After such a remark.

After a brief discussion, the majority began sending out team requests, eager to find reliable companions.

Fong Hao felt a pang of unease.

The current strength of his territory relied heavily on the support of heroes and the skeletal army.

Without these two, his meager capabilities would have likely perished on the very first day he encountered a pack of wolves.

This trial task was undeniably unfriendly.

It was astonishing that lords were prohibited from leading troops and were instead subjected to personal trials.

As he pondered this, a new notification chimed from the Lord's book.

Blueprint unlocked.

Merchant caravan blueprint green.

He had unlocked a new blueprint, specifically that of a green caravan.

A thought crossed his mind.

It must have been Jeang Bin who acquired this new design.

The Lord's book in Jong Bin's possession was a replica of Fong Hao's and after he recorded the blueprint, it would automatically unlock for Fong Hao.

Conversely, any recordings on Fong Ho's end would not reflect on Jeang Bin's book.

Ding.

A private message pinged.

Jeang Bin had sent a message.

Boss, I cleared some wild boores today and recorded a green blueprint.

Did you receive it? Upon reading this, Fungha noted Jeang Bin's diligence returning so late.

Is it the merchant caravan blueprint? Yes, I received it, he replied.

By the way, boss, are you planning to participate in this trial task? H Jean also received the task notification.
