At this moment, Cao Xing was really moved, and he really wanted to collect all these tree spirits.

However, there are fourteen tree spirits here.

The population of Cao Xing's territory is almost reaching its limit.

【Current population: 41/50】

"But it's not a big problem."

"My lord's hut will soon be upgraded to level 2."

"By then, the population could double."

Cao Xing looked at the territory behind him.

Under the construction of four subjects.

The lord's cottage has gradually changed from a one-story wooden house to a two-story stone house with ventilation windows on top.

Cao Xing took a look.

[Level 1 Lord's Hut: Construction Progress 87%]

It’s almost done. It will probably only take half an hour to complete the construction.

So Cao Xing asked, "Can I accept these tree spirits?"

Hearing this, it was not just businessman Hilton.

The tree spirits also showed joy on their faces.

"Mr. Hilton, what price are you prepared to offer for these tree spirits?"

Hilton thought for a moment, "The tree spirits are a powerful race, and they have good fighting talents."

"There are fourteen tree spirits here. According to the market price, each one is about 5,000 crowns..."

"14 tree spirits is 70,000 crowns, and with your discount, it's 65,000 crowns."

"Lord Cao Xing, what do you think?"

Cao Xing was filled with resentment in his heart, how precious!

You know, even if you go to the city and buy ordinary human slaves, it would only cost about one or two thousand crowns.

The price has tripled or quadrupled.

Sure enough, the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce was willing to accept the Tree Spirits, but still made huge profits from them.

However, considering the special characteristics of the tree spirit clan, Cao Xing still nodded.

"Sure. In addition, I also need 100 12.7mm bullets and a bottle of vitality secret medicine."

Cao Xing's bullets were almost used up, so he took this opportunity to replenish them.

Hilton's smile widened after hearing this. He squinted his eyes and said, "The bullets and the secret medicine together cost 50,000 kronor, which is 45,000 kronor after the discount."

"Total, you only need to pay me 110,000 crowns."

Cao Xing nodded, then took out 110,000 kronor coins, feeling extremely speechless.

What the hell, I just earned over 100,000 from the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce, and I traded it away in the blink of an eye.

It's true that you should spend your money where you earn it, and don't even think about taking a penny home.

The two sides completed another wave of transactions.

Hilton was laughing so hard that his eyes almost squinted together.

He discovered that Cao Xing was his lucky star.

Not only did he obtain precious black diamonds from him, he also sold a batch of tree spirits and earned a large amount of crowns.

The more he looked at Cao Xing, the more he liked him.

At the same time.

The guards also brought the tree spirits here.

Hilton looked at the pale-skinned tree spirits and said, "From today on, you belong to Lord Cao Xing."

"He is an important partner of our Black Lion Chamber of Commerce. You must obey the orders of Lord Cao Xing and must not disobey."

After hearing this, the tree spirits all knelt down and said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord."

Cao Xing nodded.

At this time, Hilton saw that the transaction had been completed, so he said tactfully: "Lord Cao Xing, the transaction has been completed, I will not disturb you for now."

Cao Xing replied, "Okay, Mr. Hilton, I wish you a safe journey."

Hilton made a prayer gesture to Cao Xing, "May the Father of all gods bless you."

After saying this, Hilton led the caravan again and disappeared into the vast snow.

Only the 14 tree spirits were left on the field, still kneeling on the ground.

As the guardians of the pale tree, they are naturally very cold-resistant and can survive for a long time in extremely low temperatures even if they are only wearing clothes made of tree leaves.

Cao Xing did not immediately issue a recruitment invitation to them, but said: "Everyone, get up and follow me into the territory first."

Although it is the novice protection period, the lord has the right to open the territory to other NPCs.

These tree spirits stood up obediently and then carefully stepped into Cao Xing's territory.

Neve, who possesses elite potential, stands out in the crowd.

Da Zhuang, Cao Yi and the others were all looking at this group of new subjects with curiosity.

Cao Xing said directly: "Cao Yi, speed up the upgrade of the Lord's Hut."

The territory official Cao Yi immediately responded, "As you command, Lord!"

"Da Zhuang, upgrade more shelters so that our new members have a place to live."

"At your service, my Lord."

"Dahua, go prepare food for our new member."

Dahua also received the order and began to lead people into the [canteen] to prepare the second meal of the day.

The group of tree spirits watched the man give orders one by one with trepidation.

Then they stood by the campfire and waited silently.

Half an hour later, Cao Xing heard a system prompt.

[Your Lord's Hut has been upgraded successfully, current level: Level 2]

[Population limit +50, reputation +200]

【Current population: 41/100】

[Blacksmith shop, ore processing plant, sewing shop, canteen, etc. Territory buildings can now be upgraded to level 2. 】

Seeing this two-story stone house completely completed, Cao Xing showed joy on his face!

Great, finally reached level 2!

However, this time the system did not give any rewards.

Come to think of it, it's normal.

After all, with such a large population base in the world, it is normal for someone to build a level 2 lord's hut before him.

Cao Xing turned around, looked at the tree spirits waiting on the side, and asked.

"Well, I now invite you to join my territory, are you willing?"

The group of tree spirits immediately knelt down.

"I am willing to serve you, my dear lord."

A lot of system prompts appear.

[Recruitment successful, Tree Elf: Yubel lv5, Tree Elf: Anita lv6, Tree Elf: Niv lv5... have joined your territory. ]

Cao Xing nodded, "Very good."

Then he looked at the loyalty of these people.

All are between 60 and 70, which is not too high.

As for the elite tree spirit among them.

When Cao Xing looked over, Niv lowered her head subconsciously, not daring to meet his gaze.

Cao Xing didn't care either.

A first-class elite is not that important to him.

As long as she is obedient and willing to work, that's all.

So, Cao Xing said: "Well, you can go to the cafeteria now and eat some food to replenish your energy."

Hearing this, the group of tree spirits looked at Cao Xing nervously but did not move.

Cao Xing was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

At this time, a tall, mature-looking female tree spirit stood up and said, "Dear Lord, we tree spirits are used to living in the wild. Please give us some dry bread and we will eat it outside to avoid dirtying your floor."
