Surviving in Another Dimension: I Can See Hints - Chapter 17

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Metal Eater was stunned watching him.

It couldn’t break it with its bite, yet… Master is so powerful.

[System notification: Mithril x6]

[System notification: Bronze Block x40]

[System notification: Structures in the Wild: ‘Watchtower’ Blueprint x1]

[System notification: Laborer Recruitment Scroll x1]

After seeing the items in the treasure chest, Wang Jue exclaimed, “Good fellow!”

Wang Jue opened the watchtower blueprint and Laborer Recruitment Scroll for a look.

[Laborer Recruitment Scroll: Spend 30 Gold Coins to additionally recruit a batch of hardworking workers.]

The earlier guild recruitment could only be done once a week, and there was a limit on the number of people recruited. Relying on only three farmers to collect resources was too slow. This recruitment scroll happened to solve this problem for him.

[Watchtower: Recruitment structure. Choose a location to build it. You can recruit Spearmen at the structure, limited to five people per week.]

[Spearmen: Ordinary soldiers, skilled with spears.]

[Due to the fact that the workers in structures in the wild cannot obtain food on their own, it will be directly taken from the Overlord’s food inventory everyday, 30 units per person.]

I can still afford it. I need not worry about food for now.

Wang Jue put the items inside and reached out to stroke Black’s head. He praised,

“You’ve done a great job today. I’ll give you more good food later.”

Black felt Wang Jue’s praise and raised its head proudly.

Wang Jue smiled and walked out of the mine.

Black would be left in the mine for the time being. There were plenty of minerals here, so there was no need to worry about it going hungry.

He would bring it back to the territory after the expansion was complete.

After tossing a few more ores to Black, Wang Jue walked outside the mine.

He opened the system to build the ore yard.

[System notification: Building an Elementary Ore Yard requires 30 Iron Blocks, 60 Wood, 600 Gold Coins]

[Construction time: 1 hour]

Then, he walked around the mine to observe the area.

Wang Jue first tapped to build a few straw sheds on a flat spot.

At a higher area, he then constructed the watchtower that he had just obtained.

The outline of a few structures appeared. After an hour or so, this place would become Wang Jue’s private territory in the wild.

…

At the same time.

Near the territory.

Carl and the wolves were driving the beasts near the forest away.

[Notification: Soldiers killed three wild boars, EXP+150]

[Notification: Alpha Wolf killed a cheetah, EXP+50]

…

No notifications of injury.

Wang Jue was relieved.

Everything was going smoothly.

On the other side of the territory, the farmers and a few soldiers were also holding shovels and other tools. They were channeling water from a river to the vicinity of the territory.

After coming out of the training camp, the few farmers had become much stronger and their speed had picked up significantly.

With nothing to do, Wang Jue opened the chat channels.

The messages in the World Channel were basically asking for materials.

In the Regional Channel.

“I only have one straw shed and three commoners. What about you guys?”

“Three commoners and one hostel. But one commoner got hurt.”

“There was an attack by a giant lizard just now. One of the commoners was seriously injured, while the other sustained light injuries before they barely managed to repulse it.”

“If other wild beasts come to attack again, I don’t know what to do.”

In the entire Regional Channel, there were hundreds of people talking about the attacks on their territories.

Of these hundreds of people, the majority got injured.

“My territory was attacked by two wild beasts!”

“F*ck, me too. I don’t dare to go out today as well.”

Wang Jue silently commented ’11’.

“It’s Boss Wang!”

“I heard that Boss Wang’s recovery potion is extremely magical and sold a lot in the market!”

This was what the Overlords in the Regional Channel said.

At this stage, many people were still going hungry.

They were squeezing in a straw shed with a few commoners.

Yet not only does Boss Wang have no lack of food, he could even sell miraculous recovery potions!

Why is the gap between people this massive?!

“Brother Wang also encountered wild beasts attacking your territory?”

“Given Brother Wang’s strength, killing two wild beasts must be a minute’s work.”

“I’ll bet he took half a minute.”

“I bet ten seconds.”

Wang Jue touched his chin.

He replied honestly, “I happened to be out exploring. The beasts were all killed by my subordinates.”

The others fell silent.

The Overlord was out.

During the exploration, they had to bring the combat troops in the territory with them as protection.

Those who stayed behind were basically farmers without any combat capabilities.

They encountered an attack by wild beasts in such a situation.

The odds were against them.

“Brother Wang, my condolences.”

“?”

Wang Jue said, “Two wild boars and other wild beasts were killed by the soldiers I left at home. What condolences?”

“Aren’t ordinary wild beasts here to become food?”

The others were silent.

During the two times they went silent, their moods were completely different.

One team went out to explore.

One team gathered materials.

And he even had soldiers guarding his home.

How many people does this big boss have?

One must know that a commoner needed 20 units of food.

The total gains of many people over the past two days barely even amounted to that.

For a time, they felt both envious and jealous of Wang Jue.

Wang Jue took the opportunity to advertise on both the world and regional channels

“Wang Jue 182.83: I put up a few bottles of Potion of Life. Its effect is allowing a person to recover Health Points directly. There’s not much stock left. If you need it, hurry and buy it.”

The channels instantly exploded.

“First, there was food. Now, there’s healing potions. Boss, how many things do you have in your territory?”

“Gosh, don’t advertise please. I’m preparing my materials!”

“Little brother, can you make it cheaper? I will cry.”

“Don’t talk, coquettish monster, disgusting!”

“Boss Wang, I’m not complaining that it’s too expensive, but I really can’t fork out that much. I’m afraid the majority are probably like me, not everyone is as rich as you.”

Wang Jue took a glance and didn’t continue paying attention to them.

Some people were in the lead, but there were also many who were injured.

Some unlucky ones went out to explore with one or two soldiers.

Almost all the farmers who were left behind either got injured or died.

Many Overlords had suffered fatal blows over the past few days.

Although it was indeed difficult for others to gather enough resources, reducing the price was impossible.

He revised the alternatives of his products.

He changed it to “a mix of materials can be used for purchase, such as intermediate blueprints, rare materials, or skill books and other items of equal value”.

“No matter what, it’s a life-saving item. It’s very reasonable for me to sell it at a higher price.”

A few minutes later.

[The item you put up for sale (Potion of Life) has been purchased by Overlord Wang Lele 155.22. You have received 100 Gold Coins.]

[The item you put up for sale (Potion of Life) has been purchased by Overlord Qian Xu 174.22. You have received Crystal x2, Soul x1.]

[The item you put up…]

Not long after, the spiritual spring water that Wang Jue put up was sold out again.

One transaction was equivalent to Wang Jue’s harvest for an entire day.

The most important thing was that he might not be able to obtain any rare resources from his territory even after a day’s work.

The potion was indeed profitable.

Then, Wang Jue and Quina had a simple meal of some wild fruits.

After filling his stomach, the system indicated that the construction of the watchtower was complete.

Wang Jue tapped on it directly.

“Recruit five Spearmen.”

[Requirement: 150 Gold Coins, 150 units of food]

Inside the watchtower.

A beam of white light shot out.

Spearmen walked out one after another.

They were wearing gray light armors and helmets with spears that were two-meter long in their hands.

The spearheads glinted coldly.

The leading Spearman was slightly taller. He took two steps forward and knelt on one knee.

The other Spearmen also knelt down.

“Greetings, my Lord.”

[Resident: Wen Fei]

[Class: Spearman]

[Level: LV 5]

[Strength: 30]

[Agility: 36]

[Skills: Spear Thrust, Basic Spear Technique LV 4]

[Loyalty: 80]

A Spearman with good attributes.

The other Spearmen did not show their potential. Their strength and agility were also slightly inferior to Wen Fei’s.

However, their basic qualities were still much better than commoners.

He ordered the Spearmen to head to the area around the mine and guard the place. If there was any danger, they were to report immediately.

When construction of all the structures were completed,

Wang Jue then raided all the resources in the area.

Then he and Quina returned to the territory.
