Black little tiger stop calling out.

Another esteemed lord is selling food.

Upon reading this Bayou open the marketplace once more and discovered that a lord named fire spirit had initiated a transaction for 30 portions of food.

Shortly thereafter, another lord named otter son-in-law also launched a trade.

this time for 50 portions of food.

Both individuals, much like Bayou, possess a four-fold premium.

Bayou speculates that these two may have summoned troops that do not require sustenance, similar to himself.

The flame spirit is somewhat understandable.

It is likely an elemental being, a category of troops that naturally does not need food.

However, what is this auto? Are you suggesting that the summoned troops resemble Ultram Man? Even Ultram Man is not a viable option as he lasts merely 3 minutes.

With billions of people worldwide, it is inevitable that some will recruit formidable troops such as behemoths, trolls, titans, and dragons.

Of course, there will also be those who summon beings that do not require nourishment, such as vampires, demons, earth elementals, stone golems, and various elemental and plant entities.

Yet, even if individuals managed to recruit such troops, their numbers are minuscule compared to the vast global population.

Even if these individuals were to sell food, the market would be more than capable of accommodating the supply, leaving Bayou unaffected.

Moreover, it is only the first day.

Most lords are still in dire need of food.

Perhaps in the coming days, food will become less critical, making it paramount in the present moment.

All right, let's roll up our sleeves and work diligently.

Bayou is filled with fervor.

Chapter 6.

Ascension and transactionism.

Bayou felt a warm current surge through her body, leaving her refreshed and invigorated moments later.

Congratulations, Lord.

You have ascended to common tier 3.

Not bad at all.

Byused, already anticipating her next breakthrough.

The experience gained from the skeletons slaying enemies in the wild had facilitated her level up.

Previously engrossed in the world chat, she and T noticed the combat notifications.

She sensed her strength had increased, though perhaps not enough to fell a water buffalo with a single punch.

Overwhelming a seasoned master through sheer flurry was certainly within reach now.

Eagerly, she opened her status panel only to be mildly exasperated by the modest attribute improvements.

Huh? At level three, my stats are barely better than a tier 1 skeleton soldier.

She wondered whether starting as a boxing champion would have granted significantly higher initial attributes compared to others.

Oh, now I truly understand the drawbacks of a frail constitution.

Noon approached, yet Bayou felt no hunger.

Meanwhile, the skeleton soldiers had retrieved all the corpses.

She noticed several of them had transformed, taller in stature, their presence palpably more formidable.

Unit name bone level common tier three progress via combat.

The name changed.

Did they undergo a class evolution upon reaching tier three? Delighted, she promptly inspected the other units.

Just as expected, before her stood three bone samurai, each towering at 2 m.

Their former bone shields and blades had vanished, replaced by massive skeletal greatswords.

Their bones now gleamed with an eerie luster.

M likely more durable now.

Apart from these three, the remaining nine had all advanced to tier 2.

Bayou then retrieved the scythe of judgment, ready to commence her undead expansion.

To her surprise, the weapon s description had also evolved.

Bound weapon scythe of judgment quality commander tier growth capable.

Active skill necromancy tier 2 passive skill attacks inflict soul damage and withering.

Slain foes are resurrected as undead.

Necromancy tier two summons twice the number of skeleton soldiers.

An additional passive skill.

Does this mean enemies slain by my scythe will instantly rise as undead? Moreover, the active skill necromancy had ascended to tier 2.

She decided to test it on a nearby wild chicken corpse.

Activate necromancy.

Mana 2730.

Still a threepoint mana cost per cast.

However, instead of one, two skeleton soldiers now emerged from the chicken s remains.

Their levels remained locked at their original state, but the quantity had doubled.

So, you're my cheat weapon, my precious scythe.

Thrilled, she realized this would exponentially increase her undead forces.

Over the next hour, she methodically cast necromancy on every corpse.

Five level one wild boars, two level two wild boars, and 30 level one wild chickens.

This was the bounty amassed by 12 skeletons in a single morning.

Bayou had summoned a total of 90 level one skeleton soldiers and 24 level two skeleton soldiers.

However, this second tier necromancy spell was limited to summoning double the number of skeletons.

To summon other undead in double numbers, it seemed she would need to level up further.

including the originally summoned skeletons by you now commanded a total of 126 skeletons comprising three level three skeletal warriors, 33 level two skeleton soldiers and 90 level one skeleton soldiers.

It was only half a day's time and by you could hardly fathom the outcome.

She immediately proceeded to decompose all the corpses.

Congratulations, Lord, on successfully decomposing the spoils, acquiring 140 portions of wild boar meat, 80 portions of rabbit meat, and 200 portions of wild chicken meat.

A bountiful harvest indeed.

These provisions could be exchanged for a substantial amount of stone and wood.

Bayou also took a moment to verify the passive skill of her judgment scythe.

Luckily, not far from the castle gate, a wild chicken was pecking in the grass.

Bring that wild chicken to me alive.

Bayou commanded, pointing at the thicket.

The three skeletal warriors sprang into action, effortlessly capturing the wild chicken with their agility of 10, far surpassing the initial agility of five from skeleton soldiers.

One skeletal warrior grasped the chicken by the neck and presented it before by you.

The chicken squalked and flapped in a feudal attempt to plead for its life.

However, it was met only by a sharp sythe, and in the blink of an eye, it was cleaved in two, falling to the ground.

Subsequently, a magic circle appeared over the corpse, from which a skeleton soldier emerged, indistinguishable from those summoned through magic.

The only difference was that killing wild creatures with a scythe did not consume any mana for summoning the undead.

Each method had its own advantages and disadvantages.

Bayou then decomposed the corpse and commanded all 126 skeletons to venture forth for hunting.

The castle was limited in space, and as the number of skeleton soldiers increased, they could only spread outward from the castle.

With over a 100 skeleton soldiers hunting, it was uncertain how many corpses would be collected by evening.

Bayou seemed to have discovered a path to wealth.

To prosper, one must first hunt.

Feeling fatigued from waiting at the castle gate, Bayou returned inside.

The warehouse now contained a total of 400 portions of food.

She decided that since her appetite was small and she was not hungry at the moment, she would place all 400 portions on the market at once.

Transaction initiated at the sludge yellow fortress.

The familiar transaction and a well-known recipe sparked discussions among the onlookers as soon as by used goods were listed.

Bubble.

The big boss is incredible.

Tyrannosaurus warrior.

I'm genuinely curious what kind of unit the big boss is to gather 500 portions of food in a single morning.

5 seconds.

True man.
