Territorial Ruler: The Plants I Planted Are Alive! - Chapter 24
One Titan went to the nearby area to search for food and water while the other went to explore the surrounding environment and report back when they were on alert for danger.
One guard was in the territory.
The remaining three Titans went to the nearby area to gather resources. They gathered everything they could, with the emphasis on resources like wood and ores!
The Titans spoke in unison:
“Yes, your Lordship!”
With that, they all held their tools in hand and left the territory according to Jiang Chen’s orders, heading off to work.
Jiang Chen sat in the wooden house and summoned the lordship’s system, opening up a page of the building.
“We have to build the basic buildings first. As a subsidiary territory, this place is like a clone of the territory. We have to have everything we need!”
He opened up another page of the creation page.
He’d made quite a few tools in one go.
Jiang Chen wasn’t worried. He’d observed before that there were quite a few resources like wood and stones scattered throughout the forest.
There was no lack of such things in the forest at all.
It didn’t take long for Jiang Chen to hear heavy footsteps from afar.
Jiang Chen stood up and looked curiously behind him.
In the end, he saw that the Titan he’d sent out to search for food had returned with a giant yellow ox.
“Hiss…”
Jiang Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. Only now did he realize that his initial worry was unnecessary.
The Titan placed the Yellow Ox in front of the wooden house and reported to Jiang Chen,
“Lord, I’ve found food. With this unicorn, we can eat for five to six days.”
Jiang Chen looked at the unicorn’s corpse, its body as big as a small truck.
Titan was indeed worthy of being a sixth rank soldier. Its strength was boundless and Intrepid!
“Lord, please take a seat. I’ll go look for a water source now!”
Titan had just hunted a horned yellow cow and didn’t stop. Instead, it picked up the wooden bucket and prepared to search for a water source.
Jiang Chen asked with concern, “Do you want to rest for a while before going?”
To kill such a large prey so quickly, Jiang Chen thought that Titan must have experienced a fierce battle!
It had expended quite a bit of stamina.
Therefore, Jiang Chen wanted him to rest for a while before going back to work.
But he didn’t expect Titan to smile honestly:
“Thank you for your kind intentions, my lord. Although our Titan clan isn’t good at fighting, we only casually killed a single-horned cow. It can only be said that we exercised our muscles and bones. I don’t need to rest.”
Jiang Chen looked at the Titan’s stamina and discovered that he had hunted such a large prey!
He’d only lost five stamina points, and his stamina was now 115.
It was just as the Titan had said. Hunting a single-horned yellow cow was just a slight exercise of his muscles and bones.
“Then you go. Remember not to run too far.”
Jiang Chen was relieved after understanding the Titan’s strength.
He didn’t have to worry about the Titans being ambushed and killed by the demonic beasts after they left the territory.
After the Titans left with their wooden barrels.
Jiang Chen felt that he didn’t have to worry about the food problem in this territory anymore as he looked at the unicorn’s corpse.
As long as they weren’t too strong enemies, they could live like fish in water here!
The problem of food was now easily solved.
Jiang Chen didn’t plan to build a barracks or anything like that.
After collecting the soul shards, Jiang Chen was prepared to go and see how the resource gathering was going.
What surprised Jiang Chen was that in less than an hour’s time.
The three Titans that Jiang Chen had sent out to gather resources were collecting 500 pieces of wood, 700 stones, and 1,200 pieces of grass.
The farmers in the main territory could only collect 10 units of wood in an hour, and seven units of stones.
For every unit of resources that they gathered, the ordinary farmers would consume 1 point of stamina.
An ordinary farmer could only gather up to 80 units of resources in a day, while five farmers could gather up to 400 units of resources in a day.
Not only was Titan’s combat strength outstanding, more importantly, but the number of resources it could gather was also more than ten times stronger than the ordinary farmers!
One could completely view Titan as a god-level farmer.
Although Titan, who possessed a portion of the Earth Goddess’s divine power, wasn’t very good at fighting, logging, mining, and other things that were closely related to the earth were their specialties.
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the Titan’s efficiency.
With these resources, Jiang Chen could continue to expand his main city.
What he needed to expand his main city: 1,000 pieces of wood, 500 pieces of stone, 300 pieces of grass, and 20 pieces of twine
Jiang Chen first used the grass to make 20 twine ropes. This way, he would have all the materials needed to upgrade his main city.
He took out the book of Lords and chose to upgrade his main city!
He used 1,000 pieces of wood, 500 pieces of stone, 300 pieces of grass, and 20 pieces of soul fragments.
A large amount of resources disappeared in an instant.
The cabin was enveloped in a ball of white light, and before Jiang Chen knew it, the cabin’s upgrade was completed in less than two minutes.
A cabin that was twice the size of the previous one appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
“Level 2 territory, the main city. Population: 23/10 full. Storage: 4,481/10,000. Available for recruitment: peasant (free) and ordinary soldier. Materials required for leveling up: Level 3 territory leveling scroll.”
…
“Congratulations to Lord Jiang Chen, the first person in the world to level up to a Level 2 city! One set of random building blueprints and one set of random equipment blueprints will be awarded!”
Suddenly, the sound of a notification rang in everyone’s ears.
All the Lords of the world were instantly stunned.
“This can’t be real. It’s only been less than a week since he transmigrated! He actually leveled up! Where did he get so many resources?”
“I only managed to build a small wooden house up until now!”
“This guy can’t be cheating, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to level up to a main city so quickly!”
“Upstairs, are you playing the game like a fool? This is reality, how can anyone cheat!”
“Please take me with you, big shot!”
..
For most of the lords, gathering all the resources needed to upgrade a city in less than a week was an impossible task for them.
One had to know that upgrading a city not only required resources but also scrolls!
Based on their farmers’ gathering speed, it would take them at least a month to upgrade a city.
Jiang Chen had completed the second-level main city in less than a week.
All the Lords of the world were shocked!
There were also quite a few people who had added Jiang Chen as a friend and sent him private messages, hoping to receive Jiang Chen’s experience in leveling up so quickly.
Jiang Chen didn’t pay any attention to the messages sent by these people and had already been automatically blocked.
What kind of experience could he impart?
Could everyone be like Jiang Chen?
Turning off the channel, Jiang Chen’s attention was quickly attracted by the rewards.
“Purple quality blueprints obtained for Judgement Tower! Purple quality blueprints obtained for the Mist Spear! Judgement Tower: stone 1000x, mithril 50x, Elemental Crystal 30x, Judgement Stone 1x. Mist spear: refined iron 10x, obsidian 3x, wind elemental crystal 10x.”
The Judgement Tower and Mist Spear that had obtained dark gold grade blueprints.
Jiang Chen was delighted at first, but the joy on his face immediately turned into a wry smile when he saw the materials needed to build them.
Refined iron, mithril, elemental crystal, obsidian, and wind elemental crystal?
These things either didn’t exist, or there weren’t enough of them.
This made Jiang Chen very depressed.
He only had the most basic resources at the moment, which meant that Jiang Chen could only stare blankly at the purple quality blueprints, unable to do anything at the moment.
He sighed helplessly.
Jiang Chen had recorded the two purple blueprints into the lordship’s system and would talk about it when he had the resources in the future..
