Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Frostwolf took heavy steps and rushed in the direction Han Xing ordered.

Looking at the figures of the man and the wolf walking away, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

A few minutes later.

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory building [Polar Cottage] has been successfully upgraded. Current level: Level 2. The number of polar people that can be recruited is 4/8]

…

Cao Xing's eyes lit up with joy. "Great, great, the polar man's hut has also been successfully upgraded. This way, there will be more people working for me!"

After a while, four polar men came to Cao Xing with tools in hand.

"My Lord, the mission has been accomplished!"

Cao Xing nodded, and then came to the level 2 [Polar Hut].

The upgraded [Polar Hut] has changed from a small tent to a small bungalow that is nearly three meters high and covers an area of ​​about 20 square meters.

In front of me, the attributes of this building appeared.

[Level 2 Polar Man Hut: You can summon polar men to work for you by consuming food.]

【Area: 30 square meters】

[Maximum number of recruits: 4/8 people]

[Required for upgrading: Level 3 Lord's Hut, Stone*100, Wood*200, Iron*50]

…

Cao Xing pondered, "A level 2 polar bear hut can only recruit four more polar bears, which is still not enough."

"To continue upgrading, you need a level 3 lord's hut, which cannot be built in a short time."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing spent another 20 food items to summon 4 polar people.

The little house trembled.

Four polar men rushed out.

"Dear Lord, the polar people report to you!"

Liu Muxue at the side exclaimed: "Ah! A few more polar people came out..."

Cao Xing nodded, and then continued to name these polar people.

From the fifth to the sixth level, all the way to the eighth level, it won’t stop.

The people of the polar regions said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord, for the name."

[You have successfully given a name to the polar people, and the loyalty of the Five Strong towards you has increased by 5 points...]

[You have successfully given a name to the polar people. Liu Zhuang's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points...]

System prompts for improved favorability keep appearing.

Cao Xing first looked at Da Zhuang, and then said, "Da Zhuang, you lead Er Zhuang to Si Zhuang, the four of you, to mine the coal mine with all your strength."

"Five Strong and Six Strong, your mission is to cut down the wood nearby and then transport it to the lumber mill for processing."

"Qi Zhuang and Ba Zhuang, your mission is to collect more stones and build an ore processing plant."

"Do you understand?"

After hearing this, the eight polar men looked at each other and saluted respectfully, saying, "Understood, Lord!"

Then, under the leadership of Dazhuang, the polar people began to work enthusiastically.

"Axing, do you need me to do anything?" Liu Muxue asked softly from the side.

Cao Xing glanced at Liu Muxue's current equipment. In addition to the small wooden shield given by the system, there was also a stone axe.

This small wooden shield also had cracks on it due to the battle.

I feel like I'll be completely destroyed if I go through one more battle.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the market to see if there's anything I can use."

Liu Muxue nodded gently, "Yes... I'll do as you say."

Cao Xing looked at his food reserves.

[Food: Bread*45, Snake Meat*10, Wolf Meat*132]

"There is still enough food. You can use some of it to exchange for supplies or equipment."

He clicked on the Market Channel.

There are dozens more pages of consignment items above.

It seems that there are more and more survivors, or teams building the market.

Cao Xing entered the word "equipment" in the search interface and then filtered it.

There are some white equipment scattered on it, such as stone axes, stone spears, etc.

Several pieces of ironware were also sold at a very high price.

Cao Xing shook his head. The properties of these equipment were too poor and there was no improvement at all.

And just then, he saw a consignment information.

[Consignment item: Rusty Iron Shield (white)*1. 】

[Required items: Food*50 or Medical Kit*1. ]

【Consignor: Chen Yuan】

(Seller's note: Top-grade iron shield, amazing defense, first come first served.)

Cao Xing took a look at the properties of the iron shield. It had an armor value of 5 to 8 points, which was almost twice as high as the small wooden shield in Liu Muxue's hand.

Although it's not the best, it's pretty good.

So, Cao Xing followed his custom and directly quoted a price.

Cao Xing: "20 food in exchange for a rusty iron shield."

After a moment, the other party replied with one word.

"Get lost."

Oh my god... this guy has such a bad temper that he can't even bargain.

Cao Xing was amused.

He shook his head and didn't care.

So he posted a consignment information himself.

[Consignment Item: Fresh Wolf Meat (Green)]

[Required items: equipment, weapons, skill books]

【Consignor: Cao Xing】

(Seller's note: Fresh wolf meat, 1 piece of wolf meat = 5 food, requires equipment and skill books that can be used by Aurora Knight and Frost Mage, if interested, please chat privately.)

…

Not long after wolf meat was put on the shelves, some survivors immediately noticed the information on the market.

"Oh shit! Someone is selling food in the market, and it's green grade wolf meat!"

"Wolf meat? I remember that wolves in the wild are all level 3 monsters at the lowest. Who is this boss who killed the wolf so quickly?!"

"Too strong! I was still eating dry bread, but others were already eating meat."

"This boss wants equipment and skill books. Who of you has them? Go and trade with him!"

…

At this stage, when everyone is worried about food, someone actually sold food, and the food was precious wolf meat, which immediately caused a sensation.

Sure enough, after a while, Cao Xing received the first private message.

Ren Yixu: "Brother, I see that you have amazing bones. I have a +18 top-grade greatsword here. I will sell it to you for only 5 pieces of wolf meat. What do you think?"

Cao Xing was delighted and said, "Send it to me."

[Rusty Iron Sword (White), Quality: Normal, Attack Power: 6~8, Attached Special Effects: None]

Cao Xing: “…”

"Is this the +18 top-grade greatsword you mentioned?"

Ren Yixu smiled and said, "I forgot to mention this, this is the future +18 enhanced greatsword. With my own strength, I will definitely be able to enhance it to 18 in the future!"

Cao Xing was speechless and said directly, "Two pieces of wolf meat."

Ren Yixu was stunned, "So little?"

"Will you sell it?"

"sell!"

Ren Yixu agreed decisively.

Cao Xing modified the transaction information speechlessly.

[The transaction was successful. You gained the rusty iron sword (white), but you lost the fresh wolf meat (green)*2.]

Then, Cao Xing received many private messages.

There aren't many people selling equipment here, most of them want to trade for materials from other territories, such as wood, stone, and a small amount of iron.

Cao Xing would remind these survivors of the importance of these basic supplies, saying that they are the foundation of survival and should not be sold easily.

Some survivors will listen to the advice and give up the deal, but some will insist on trading with Cao Xing.

They told Cao Xing that they were almost starving to death, so who would think about future development? They must fill their stomachs first.

Seeing the information of these people, Cao Xing thought secretly in his heart.

"Since they want to sell, they can collect some supplies first."

"But I don't have much wolf meat in stock, so I can't buy a lot of stones and wood."

"However, we can first exchange some iron for it and then build a [Blacksmith Shop]."

After the [Blacksmith Shop] is built, you can make some simple iron tools in it, such as iron axes, iron pickaxes, iron spears, etc.

As for other equipment, corresponding drawings are required to create them.

However, the survivors currently have very little iron, only two or three pieces at most.

Cao Xing would definitely suffer a loss by exchanging a piece of wolf meat for two pieces of iron.

So, Cao Xing asked the system: "Is it possible to break down the wolf meat into smaller portions?"

A system prompt appears.

[One piece of wolf meat can be broken down into up to 10 small pieces of wolf meat, and 100g is one portion. ]

Cao Xing was stunned. It really works!

So he took out 5 pieces of wolf meat and divided them into 50 portions.

Then, Cao Xing modified the transaction terms.

The consignment ratio is 1 piece of wolf meat for 2 pieces of iron.

This issue has once again attracted attention in regional channels.

"Brothers, this boss has changed the conditions. You can now trade wolf meat with iron. If anyone has iron, go and redeem it!"

"I just happened to have two pieces, and I'll go find this big guy to trade with right away."

"Fuck, I want to eat meat too, leave some for me!"

Cao Xing keeps receiving transaction applications.

[Transaction successful, you get Iron*2, you lose Wolf Meat*100g]

[Transaction successful, you gained 4 irons, you lost 200g wolf meat]

[The transaction was successful. You gained 1 Iron Round Shield (White), and you lost 5 Fresh Wolf Meat.]

…

In addition to a large amount of iron, Cao Xing also received a shield as he wished.

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

[Iron Round Shield (White), Quality: Normal, Armor: 9~11, Attached Special Effects: None]

Although it is just a white shield, its properties are much better than the wooden shield in Liu Muxue's hand.

In a short while, the dozen or so pieces of wolf meat that Cao Xing hung up were all sold out in seconds.

And there were 100 more pieces of iron in Cao Xing's backpack!

Now, the iron in my hand is more than enough to build a [Blacksmith Shop].

Cao Xing's eyes lit up with joy. "Compared to slowly collecting, it's faster to trade with other survivors!"

Of course, this method is based on the premise that you have sufficient resources.

Now that the territory's population has increased so much, the daily food consumption is a considerable number.

So he could only sell a small portion of his food in exchange for supplies.

Just when Cao Xing was about to end the transaction, the survivor named Chen Yuan sent another message.

"Brother, I'll sell you that iron shield and 10 pieces of wolf meat."

He also seemed to notice the movements in the market.

Seeing this news, Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh.

This guy is really bold in making such an offer. He thinks this broken shield in his hand is a treasure.

Cao Xing just obtained that shield through trade. Not only is its attribute better than this [Rusty Iron Shield], but it only cost 5 pieces of wolf meat.

So Cao Xing replied, "No need, keep it for yourself."

Hearing this, the survivor named Chen Yuan suddenly became anxious.

"Brother, come on! We can talk about it. 8 bucks, 8 bucks should be fine, right?"

Cao Xing didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

The person on the other side said anxiously, "6 yuan, it really can't be any less, people can't be too greedy."

Cao Xing still did not reply.

Chen Yuan said anxiously, "I am Chen Yuan from the Three Heroes Society. Please give me some face and take this shield for five pieces of wolf meat."

"..."

Chen Yuan seemed to have lost his patience.

"Four pieces of wolf meat! This is my minimum. I advise you not to be shameless!"

His tone became increasingly impatient.

At this time, Cao Xing replied calmly: "Get lost."
