“I got it, finally I can eat.”

“Shit, how come it’s gone so fast, I didn’t get any.”

“Boss, please put some more up, I didn’t get any just now.”

The meat that Fang Hao put up for sale was visibly decreasing in amount, and the 1,000 units of meat were sold out in less than two minutes.

Then, a bunch of private messages came flooding into Fang Hao’s inbox.

“Bro, I didn’t get any just now, I have some wood, can we trade?”

“I’m starving to death, bro, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-tier pagoda.”

“Brother Fang Hao, I’m so hungry, I’ve taken some very private photos, can I trade them for some food with you?”

Fang Hao outright ignored those who were hoping to freeload.

It’s indeed dangerous to hunt outside the territory.

But the amount of exchange material he set was absolutely not much.

Even you could say, everyone could afford to exchange.

Just that there were too many people who had crossed over and the initial territories didn’t have direct methods to get food.

Food thus became the scarcest resource.

On the contrary, water was not in short supply.

Many territories had sources of water nearby, and a river or a freshwater lake was enough for you to sell.

No matter how much water you sell, you can’t possibly sell out a river, right?

So water resources were not expensive, many people had them for sale.

Wood and stone can be slowly gathered, they’re always available.

But without food, things can get pretty tough.

Fang Hao thought for a moment, and put another 500 units of meat up for sale, still at the same exchange rate.

The channel was once again buzzing.

“Fuck, buy it quickly.”

“He really put more up, how does the boss have so much meat, he isn’t cheating, is he?”

“How many times do I have to say, this is reality, not a game.”

“Boss, take me under your wing, your little bro is willing to work like a dog.”

“Is handsome Fang Hao short of a girlfriend? When you’re out, having one more friend can give you a hand at a crucial moment, and I can give you a few hands!”

“Fuck, the one above is onto something.”

…

Watching the various salty comments roll endlessly in the channel, Fang Hao finally realized how scarce meat was.

The vast majority of people currently weren’t able to leave their territories and hunt wild beasts.

Those who did manage to leave and luckily slayed a beast, got food.

But they only killed one.

They might not be willing to sell it, but would want to keep it for themselves and their farmers.

On the other hand, Fang Hao had just put up 1,500 units of meat.

This proved he still had a lot of stock.

The newly put up 500 units of meat also sold out very quickly.

Two transactions in total made him gain: 60,000 units of wood, 11,920 units of stone, and 20 units of iron.

This number actually surprised Fang Hao a bit.

The exchanged material once again filled up the warehouse, and all the empty space in the territory.

Only a small path remained in the middle, for himself and Skeleton to pass normally.

Ding!

A private message sounded.

“Bro, see how much meat this can trade for, I don’t have much resources, need to give some more help in the early stage.”

Then, a blueprint was sent over.

“[Simple Leather Armor Blueprint (Common)]”

“[Type: Equipment]”

“[Materials: Beast Skin 2, Hemp Rope 2.]”

Equipment blueprint.

Some people are too lucky, having equipment blueprints at this time.

Even though it’s common, it’s exactly what’s needed in the early stages.

“Why don’t you use it yourself?” Fang Hao asked curiously.

Soon, the other party replied with some helplessness.

“No way, I’ve used all the materials to upgrade the building, I and the farmers need food, so I have to sell it for now.”

“Okay, for a common quality, I’ll give you 50 units of meat,” Fang Hao replied.

“Thanks, bro, I’ll start the trade immediately.”

The other party expressed his thanks repeatedly.

It should be said, Fang Hao did not take advantage of people’s distress.

In times of food shortage, even if Fang Hao offered 10 units, the other party would have to exchange.

Both lords and farmers need to eat.

But Fang Hao still offered 50 units, quite generous by any standard.

Quickly, an equipment blueprint appeared in the designated trade column.

Fang Hao also put up the promised 50 units of meat.

As soon as he got the blueprint, he immediately collected it in the Book of Lords.

A charred smell came from the roast meat on the grill, and Fang Hao had to close the channel to finish his meal.

If he kept roasting the meat, it would have turned into charcoal.

After a satisfying meal, Fang Hao decided to make the leather armor first.

There might not be any danger at night.

He reopened the Book of Lords, “Simple Leather Armor: 2 Beast Skins, 2 Hemp Ropes.”

Make it!

“Hundredfold Amplification triggered, successfully created 101 Simple Leather Armor.”

“Simple Leather Armor (white)”

“Category: Chest Armor”

“Defense: Level 1 Defense”

(Note: A simple leather armor made of leather and hemp rope can provide a certain level of defense.)

Not bad!

Of course, he couldn’t ask for too much.

He donned one himself, and distributed the rest to his skeleton soldiers.

Each skeletal soldier, now clad in leather armor, started to look more like the part.

As he finished all these tasks, dusk had fallen.

Fang Hao brought a few stacks of straw from the warehouse and spread them out in the Lord’s log cabin.

He closed the door and fell into a deep sleep.

…

The night passed without incident.

Though he slept deeply, he woke up with his back and waist aching.

It was as if he had lost a kidney.

His body wasn’t used to sleeping on straw, apparently.

Stepping out of the hall, he saw the loyal skeleton workers diligently working, seemingly tireless.

He did some quick exercises.

He relit the extinguished bonfire from yesterday, continued roasting meat, and had it for breakfast.

While turning the roast, he put up 2000 units of meat for exchange, maintaining the same requirements as yesterday.

“Fang Hao has put stuff up for exchange, hurry and grab it.”

“Fang Hao, could you share how you got so much food? We’re all transmigrants, we should help each other.”

“I suspect there are lots of grass-type animals near where he spawned.”

“When it comes to grass-type animals, teddy bears are the only ones I respect, the rest are just trash.”

“Boss Fang Hao, I’m at sea. Can I exchange some fish for meat with you?”

…

It seemed like many people were waiting for Fang Hao.

There was a scramble the moment the meat was put up for exchange.

This was even fiercer and faster than yesterday.

Fang Hao’s name appeared to have ingrained itself in people’s hearts.

The meat that was hard for others to obtain, he was selling it out in thousands.

While watching everyone chat, he finished his breakfast.

Seeing the materials piled up all over the territory,

Fang Hao got up. It was now his time to work.

“Materials needed for upgrading to a Level 2 Warehouse: 750 Wood, 450 Stone, 200 Straw, 100 Hemp Rope.”

He clicked to upgrade the warehouse directly.

With a flash of light, the warehouse was smoothly upgraded to Level 2.

It had gone from a simple grass shed to a good-sized log cabin that could store more resources better.

“Level 2 Warehouse”

“Storage: 30000/30000”

(Note: The resources in the warehouse will be preserved better, and the food stored won’t spoil easily. The higher the level of the warehouse, the more resources it can hold, and the better the effect.)

“Materials needed for the upgrade: 1200 Wood, 950 Stone, 320 Straw, 220 Hemp Rope, 100 Leather.”

For the next level warehouse, aside from the increased materials-

Straw had been replaced by leather.

He wanted to continue with the upgrade to a Level 3 Warehouse, but was notified “Lord’s log cabin must be at Level 3.”

Just as Fang Hao was planning to upgrade the Lord’s hall.

A private chat notification came up on the Book of Lords.

He opened the Book of Lords.

“Big Brother Fang Hao, I have a special kind of ore here. I want to exchange it for some meat.”

This person had a pretty nice name, Dong Jiayue.

Fang Hao quickly replied, “Of course.”

Ore was also a resource.

Currently in the early stages, special ores were still hard to come by.

“Shadowstone”

“Type: Ore”

(Note: A rare ore required for the construction of Undead faction buildings.)

Fang Hao’s eyes brightened upon seeing the attributes.

The upgrade for the Undead buildings had already demanded Shadowstone.

He had also been considering how to obtain Shadowstone and often kept an eye on the chat channel.

He was checking if anyone was selling it.

But he didn’t expect someone to proactively approach him.
