Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Time slowly passed.

When Mike woke up again.

It was already afternoon.

He slept very soundly. Compared to the other castle lords, he lived a very happy life.

After all, he did not need to go out and hunt wild monsters.

Moreover, from the time he descended until now, he had never worried about filling his stomach.

There was so much meat that he could not finish it. His troops were also hunting monsters in the wild all the time.

He could not finish it all by himself.

He went to the restaurant in the castle to fill his stomach.

Mike opened the notification.

He wanted to see how the auction was going in the morning.

The three-hour auction had sold all the three packs of weapons and armor.

He did some calculations.

Out of the three pieces of equipment, he had obtained a total of 7,830 units of wood, 4,200 units of stone, and 120 units of refined iron. He could be considered to have made a huge profit.

However, to be honest, the true value of the equipment was not worth one-fifth of the value of these materials.

However, this was an emergency period.

An emergency period had an extraordinary price.

With weapons, the strength of humanoid soldiers with defensive equipment could rise in a straight line.

Although the loss of resources delayed the castle’s upgrade.

But the Castle Lord who had obtained equipment could arm his troops to kill more monsters in the wild and raise the level of his troops.

Was it a gain or a loss?

The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise.

In addition, many Castle Lords did not have any equipment at the moment.

Compared to unarmed combat, many Castle Lords would choose the former.

Moreover, today was already the fourth day that they had arrived in the foreign land.

In three days, the novice protection period would be over.

When the protective shield disappeared, the Beast Tide would follow.

The stronger the castle forces were, the higher the chance of resisting the Beast Tide.

They should be thanking Mike.

However, the truth was the same.

After a day of hunting, the gains of the castle lord who had obtained the equipment had increased by several times.

In his excitement, he even uploaded his battle results in the world chat channel and praised Mike.

As for those Castle Lords who participated in the auction but missed the opportunity to obtain the equipment, they were heartbroken and regretful that they did not spend more money.

Overall, while Mike made a lot of money, he also gained a wave of reputation and popularity in the circle of the Castle Lords.

Although, he was different from Bella.

He did not care about these things.

…

Mike came to the courtyard.

At this time, the courtyard was also filled with many wild monster corpses.

There were at least 200 of them.

It was about 4 pm. There was still some time before the blood moon descended.

In other words, Tyrell and Barr could hunt more wild monsters.

Moreover, Barr could go out to hunt at night.

This way, the harvest would increase day by day.

However, it was true. Two people could do things faster than one person.

In addition, his strength had risen to tier 5 today. With his strength increased, the speed of killing wild monsters would naturally increase.

Compared to a few days ago, it was natural for the harvest to double.

After spending more than ten minutes.

Mike collected all the corpses of the wild monsters and dissected them.

As usual, the harvested monster materials such as fur, claws, and teeth were stored in the warehouse.

As for the food…

He thought of the ‘lucky shrewd merchant’, Lin Yaoyao.

He opened the [friend information].

He realized that more and more castle lords had applied to add him as a friend, reaching more than 50 million.

It was getting more and more day by day.

Some Castle Lords persevered and were rejected many times, but they still applied again and again.

Some Castle Lords came because of their fame.

Among them, the majority of the Castle Lords wanted to climb up to him and use him to strengthen their own castle.

Although they did not say it explicitly, Mike knew this in his heart.

After all, in their application notes, there were often keywords like ‘little kid’, ‘bed warmer’, ‘school belle’, ‘easy to attack’, and so on.

Only a very small portion of the Castle Lords had high-grade and top-grade troops.

They thought that they were powerful.

They had great confidence in the future.

They wanted to form an alliance with Mike and discuss grand events in the era of hegemony.

Without exception, Mike rejected all of them.

They had not even passed the novice period, so what grand event were they discussing?

Let’s talk about it after they can survive the ‘Beast Tide’.

He opened his friend chat [Lin Yaoyao] and received many messages.

[Big Mike, I admire you so much! You actually killed so many goblins. Yaoyao hasn’t even seen what goblins look like…]

[Big Mike, what are you doing now!]

[Big Mike, can you chat with Yaoyao for a while? Yaoyao is so bored right now!]

…

[Big Mike, I have good news for you!]

[Yaoyao’s gray dwarves accidentally killed a spider while digging iron ore today. Another blueprint dropped!]

[That Blueprint is a smithy. Yaoyao has already built it!]

[If Mike really needs to forge equipment, he can look for Yaoyao!]

[Hehe!]

…

Mike looked at the news and could not help but feel shocked but at the same time sad.

Another blueprint dropped?

Mike was very silent.

He had a 2,000-meter radius of influence.

Up until now, he had killed over a thousand monsters in the wild, but he had never seen anything that looked like a blueprint.

Sigh, comparing people was really infuriating!

He felt that he had a one-time burst of luck and had a unique dragon nest.

He had a hundred giant dragons, so it was impossible for other Castle Lords to have such a top-tier army like the giant dragons.

However, Lin Yaoyao…

Had a continuous burst of luck. She was really blessed by the god of luck.

Although she only had a low-tier army, her luck was really the kind that could not be stopped even if it came.

Even Mike was a little jealous.

Not only Mike, but the other Castle Lords also did not have such luck!

She could just accidentally obtain special items.

Mike really wanted accidentally find special items at all times.

…

In the friend column.

Mike sent a message. [Something came up just now. What do you need to forge equipment? Do you need equipment blueprints?]

In an underground world, a little loli with a gray face jumped up in surprise.

[Mike replied me!]

The excited voice made the surrounding gray dwarves look at each other.

The little loli squinted her big black gem-like eyes and quickly replied.

[Big Mike must be doing something very important, right?]

[Well, there’s a message in the crafting shop. Forging ordinary equipment doesn’t require blueprints. It can be directly forged with materials from monsters or with other materials.]

[Only magical equipment inlaid with strange crystals needs a blueprint.]
