Dong Jiayue looked at the private chat and did not respond for a while.

She never thought that Fang Hao had such a substantial fortune.

He not only sells massive amounts of food every day, but now he also owns iron weapons and even armor.

Moreover, his generous offer of asking how much she needed was surprising.

Zhang Bin had collected some leather armor and already attracted a large number of fans.

Even now, on the regional channel, people were hailing Zhang Bin as a big shot, hoping that when he found more, he would sell to them first.

If these people knew that Fang Hao not only had armor, but also weapons. . .

They would probably flood the regional channel with their admiration.

“7 sets, can I pay with food and lumber?” Dong Jiayue asked.

Fang Hao looked behind him at the mountainous piles of lumber and stone resources.

He replied: “I will lend you first; you can repay me with good items after you finish exploring.”

He was not short of basic materials.

If he wanted to, Fang Hao could use the hundred-fold magnification to produce weapons and armor in exchange for these materials.

But there really was no need.

There were just too many resources within his territory.

He had already enclosed a vacant lot behind the Lord’s cabin with wooden fences.

It was used specifically for storing these basic resources.

What he needed now were special resources, special tools, or various blueprints.

“That works too, thank you Brother Hao,” Dong Jiayue hastily said in gratitude.

She felt somewhat relieved that the person she knew was Fang Hao.

“I will list them, check them out when you can.”

“Okay.”

Fang Hao listed 6 pieces of simple leather armor and helmets, and 1 orc iron armor set and helmet.

The orc iron armor was a level second armor, naturally meant for Dong Jiayue to wear, because she would be the key to obtaining more Shadowstones in the future.

“Wow, Brother Hao, you’re awesome.”

Even though she was prepared, when she saw the orc iron armor, she couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

They each ended their conversation and got back to their work.

…

Fang Hao returned to his loot.

He picked up the Bloodthirsty Chest Armor.

The Bloodthirsty Chest Armor is internally made of metal plate armor, and the exterior is wrapped with a layer of red leather ornated with embossed patterns.

Bright red, exquisite.

It’s extremely heavy to hold, just like carrying a heavy piece of iron.

Even with his current body, he wouldn’t be able to fight if he wore it.

Fang Hao again used God’s Presence to control a skeleton soldier and tried to put on the armor.

But the situation was similar to his, the weight of the armor affected normal movement and combat.

There is indeed a difference between reality and the game.

In the game, anyone could put on any armor.

But in reality, one must consider one’s physical strength.

Wearing this armor is like carrying an ox, and it’s challenging to fight.

“Damn! Even if I take ten pounds of protein powder, I won’t reach the strength of an orc.” Fang Hao cursed.

This armor could only be put away for now.

He will bring it out when his strength reaches par, or when he acquires higher-level soldiers.

As the skeletons wash and dry the acquired clothing by the river, he left the territory.

The newly unlocked blueprints.

Needs to be produced as soon as possible.

[Level 1 Ranch: Lumber 1000, Stone 800, Straw 500, Hemp Rope 200.]

Outside the territory, he chose a flat piece of land.

He began to build.

Wooden fences fenced off the plot, and a simple wooden shed was built in the middle.

But right now, the ranch is still empty, with no animals at all.

It seems he needed to capture some gentle animals for breeding next time.

Having settled the construction of the ranch.

He continued to look for a location to build the lumberyard.

He had initially planned to build the lumberyard at the Gnoll camp, but after careful consideration, he decided to abandon this plan for now.

The issue with the Orc Tribe had not been completely resolved.

Better to be on the safe side.

He chose a location near the forest to build the lumberyard.

[Level 1 Lumberyard: Wood 2000, Stone 1200, Straw 200, Hemp Rope 550, Iron 120.]

(Description: Lumberyard area, +5% wood gathering efficiency.)

Directly choose to build.

A lumberyard appears before your eyes.

The skeleton laborers who are chopping trees nearby begin to work around the lumberyard.

After assigning a few skeleton soldiers to guard the building against beast attacks, he returns to his territory.

Two out of the three blueprints have already been built.

There’s only a torch left, which Fang Hao feels is unnecessary.

He simply rests at night, for the skeletons, as undead creatures, do not need torches for light when they work in the dark.

If he needed one later, it wouldn’t be too late to make it then.

Apart from the blueprints and equipment, the biggest gain is more than one thousand seven hundred Wriggling Spines.

This means that if Fang Hao is willing.

He could recruit an army of a hundred thousand skeletons.

Enough to vastly outstrip the average lord.

For now, Fang Hao does not plan to recruit.

An army of a hundred thousand skeletons is too much and would easily attract unnecessary trouble.

It’s not conducive to the development of the current territory.

…

After tidying everything up, there’s still time.

He can continue exploring the map.

Fang Hao again uses [God’s Presence] and enters the body of a skeleton soldier.

The battle with the orcs is just the beginning.

The days to come will be more dangerous.

To survive safely in this world, exploration and development must not be halted.

Setting off with 2000 skeleton soldiers, he continues to explore the surrounding map.

Crossing the southern valley, the trees and plants become denser.

Drawing the iron sword from his waist, he chops off the branches and thorns in front of him.

Fang Hao notes this place down as a backup wood gathering point.

Thinking of this, his footsteps suddenly stop.

Instinctively he squats down, staying hidden.

All the skeleton soldiers behind him also stop. Though they don’t squat, they rigidly stand in place.

Ahead in a clearing, a young unicorn sheep lazily munches on grass.

There are plenty of game in the forest, so food is abundant.

It’s easy to come across creatures grazing or strolling around.

Fang Hao crouches further low, glancing under the unicorn sheep’s belly.

“Great! It’s a female, we’ll have sheep’s milk in the future.”

The ranch has just been established, young wild animals can be caught and raised.

In the future, he’d be able to drink sheep milk.

“Quick, surround it, capture it alive, don’t hurt it.” Fang Hao instructs the skeletons behind him.

He fears these simple-minded subordinates might rush up and slaughter it upon sight.

The stunned skeletons, upon receiving the order, slowly disperse.

Gradually surrounding it.

The woolly creature idly grazing perks its ears up, abruptly lifting its head to look in all directions.

The next moment, it bolts in one direction.

“Quick! Catch it!” Fang Hao shouts out loud.

The skeletons surrounding it on all sides no longer hide, chasing after the fleeing unicorn sheep.

Bang!!

A muffled noise.

A skeleton trying to block the path of the unicorn sheep gets hit square in the chest. It is flung back like it was hit by a cannon, snapping branches and bushes on its way back.

It ends up in a rather sorry state.

Capturing it alive is way more difficult than killing.

“Chase, catch it, catch it alive!”

The unicorn sheep runs in front while a bunch of skeletons chase it frenetically from behind.

After about twenty minutes of chasing.

The unicorn sheep completely disappeared.

Before their eyes stands an ancient castle surrounded by thorns and roses.
