Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor! - Chapter 29

————

[Unit]: Earth Rune Mud Monster (Rank 1 Soldier)

[Race]: Slime

[Grade]: Ordinary

[Level]: 1

[Health]: 20

[Damage]: 2-4

[Hire Cost]: 1 silver coin per week

[Racial Talent]: Healing

[Skill]: Mud Shot, Condense Elemental Earth.

Description: A Mud Monster that accidentally fused with the earth rune can condense earth elements and integrate them into the soil, making the soil more fertile. The plants growing on it can have higher yield and faster growth.

————

After fusing with the earth rune, the Mud Monster gained a special ability.

Just like the water rune slime, it could infuse earth elements to make the soil more fertile.

If the difference between the Water Rune Slime and the Soft Water Slime was calculated proportionately, the effect of the Earth Rune Mud Monster should be twice that of ordinary Mud Monsters!

Rene chopped off a part of its body with the machete.

Then, he observed how long it would take for it to recover.

The final result was…

With enough soil, it could produce a kilogram of highly fertile soil in half an hour!

“Not bad.”

Rene was pleased.

Perhaps this little fellow wasn’t that useful now.

But as long as it waited, its existence would bring enormous profits to the territory.

“Go, little one. That plantation is all yours.”

Rene had specially planned a plantation area.

Although there was nothing to plant in the early stages, there was still something that needed to be planted.

Otherwise, if he suddenly used it in the future, there would be new problems.

After arranging the Mud Monster, Rene continued to look at the remaining Slimes.

He wondered if there were any other synthesis solutions.

Fire, water, and soil greatly changed the value of the slime.

Other than that, was there anything else that could make use of the slime’s regeneration ability?

“I failed with the rock last time.”

“Would it be better if we used clay?”

Previously, he had thought of using rocks because the soil was related to rocks.

That was why Rene had such thoughts.

This idea was very bold.

This was because the stone was considered a strategic resource in this world. In the future, it would be used to build main cities or upgrade buildings.

If he could make the slimes produce solid stone materials, wouldn’t he be able to obtain a money-making machine?

Rene thought that was a good idea.

However, this idea failed yesterday.

Therefore, he had no choice but to extend his thoughts to the alternatives of the rock.

For example, using clay.

“It seems that in ancient times, there was a case of using clay to build walls.”

Rene recalled the book he had read about “rammed earth.”

“Rammed earth” was the concept of compacting sticky soil layer by layer, making its structure tight and finally forming a hard city wall to resist the enemy’s invasion.

Using clay to fortify the city walls might not be as effective as using stones to build the walls, but it was definitely much better than using wood to build fences.

“Let’s go up to the trading platform and see if there’s any suitable clay.”

Rene sent his message to the trading platform and the world channel.

He wanted to exchange ten units of wood for a piece of clay.

Any player with relevant materials in the territory would choose to trade immediately.

But before a transaction could occur, another system notification sounded.

Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining the level 2 building: Elementary Guild!]

The upgraded building was completed.

Rene quickly put away the editor and rushed to the workshop area.

At this moment, the Elementary Guild, which had leveled up to level 2, had a slight change in appearance, and its function had been greatly improved.

————

[Elementary Guild] (Rank 1 Construction)

[Quality]: Normal

[Level]: 2

[Function]: Recruitment per week: Laborer 10/20 (2 silver coins per person), Construction Worker 1/2 (10 silver coins per person), Miner 1/2 (10 silver coins per person), Woodcutter 1/2 (10 silver coins per person), Blacksmith 0/2 (20 silver coins per person).

[Description]: An ordinary low-level Guild that can recruit some workers.

————

At level 2, the number of workers recruited every week doubled.

At the same time, there was a new type of worker—blacksmith!

This guild could recruit two blacksmiths a week.

Rene had two guilds, which meant he could recruit four blacksmiths. These people would be handed over to Jessica in the future so that she could start making the Water Condensing Machines.

After the Overlord’s Hall reached Level 2, the construction blueprint for the well appeared in the construction system.

However, it was still too far for other players to unlock it.

Within this month, most of them had to drink the blood of wild beasts to survive the difficult early stages of the game.

In addition…

There was something else worth mentioning.

The production capacity of wells was limited. Most of the time, they could only supply the water needed in the territory.

If they encountered a situation where there were more people in the territory, they would need to build many wells to maintain sufficient water supply.

Moreover, there could not be too many identical buildings in the territory.

Therefore, there was still a market for the production of Water Condensing Machines.

At least within the first month, drinking water would guarantee a certain value and profit.

Of course, the workers Rene sent were not provided to Jessica for free.

In the terms of cooperation between the two of them, only the raw materials needed to make the machines were given by Rene for free, such as iron and wood. Otherwise, Jessica could not afford them.

As for everything else, including the construction of the blacksmith shop and the workers, Jessica had to deal with it herself.

Of course, as an ally, Rene could provide her with some loans to help her overcome the difficulties of accumulating resources quickly.

Ding!

[Congratulations, 10 laborers, 1 construction worker, 1 miner, 1 woodcutter, and 2 blacksmiths have joined your ranks.]

Over a dozen people immediately appeared in the open space of the territory.

Rene took out the ten pickaxes he’d bought at a high price from the players and edited all the laborers into miners.

The market now traded more wood than stones, and it was clear that stones were harder to obtain.

Moreover, iron ores, gold ores, and other mineral resources could only be discovered by miners under most circumstances.

Therefore, miners were one of the main workers in the territory.

After editing, Rene arranged their respective jobs.

The woodcutters, miners, and construction workers had a clear mission. They just had to ensure that they produced the corresponding amount of resources every day.

Meanwhile, the blacksmiths had joined the blacksmith shop and were working hard to forge machetes.

Before Rene’s level increased, they would still be in the territory, so such labor could not be wasted.
