Territorial Ruler: The Plants I Planted Are Alive! - Chapter 7

“Next, I should go out and try to find resources to exchange for more gold coins and buy a large amount of fertilizer to increase the ripening period of the potatoes!”

“Done!”

“It’s all done this time!”

“I’ve been tired for half a day. It’s time to rest and eat something.”

Jiang Chen took out food and water from the system’s backpack and prepared to eat.

After he was done with all this, Jiang Chen returned to his tent. He lay on a simple wooden board covered in straw.

A bonfire was lit outside.

He read out the lordship system and flipped to the chat channel.

A pile of private messages and friend requests popped up the moment he opened the chat box.

Some of these requests were names that Jiang Chen had heard of before, and some that he didn’t know.

Looking at the situation before him, these people had probably seen him sell iron ore resources in exchange for seeds, and then wanted to look for him to continue buying.

Looking at these friend requests, Jiang Chen thought about it and agreed to them all.

“Maybe it’ll be useful at some point.”

Jiang Chen agreed to all of these with this thought in mind.

But at the same time, he also automatically blocked their messages.

Because he didn’t have enough resources at the moment, Jiang Chen would naturally check them one by one when he needed them.

Opening the world channel, Jiang Chen saw quite a number of people chatting inside.

“I caught a stray rabbit today.”

“Wow, the big boss is drinking beer, and I’m still eating dirt.”

“I met a gray wolf in the afternoon and a few civilians were bitten. What should I do? I don’t even dare to go out now!”

“I’m even worse. I drank a few mouthfuls of water from the stream. I’ve had diarrhea since noon. Can I still be saved?”

“Stupid! I strictly forbid civilians from drinking raw water. I have to boil it and drink it. However, not only did these guys secretly drink raw water, they even lost their loyalty after a few words of scolding! Damn it! Damn it! Stupid!”

“I’m so hungry. The food for the initial supplies is too terrible to eat. It’s simply hard to swallow. There are also civilians who need to consume my food. I shouldn’t have recruited civilians.”

“Now their eyes are green when they look at me!”

There were not as many messages as there were during the day.

When it came to recruiting people for the construction union, there was not a single one.

Other than those who were pretentious.

Those who pretended to be miserable.

And those who were really miserable.

There were also many people who were looking for help. There was no lack of rich people, officials, and celebrities.

They made promises.

However, the only communication between the Lords now was the chat channel.

At most, it was the help of information.

Who could he blame if he didn’t work hard and didn’t fight?

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and sent a message.

“The union can recruit special talents.”

He disappeared.

It wasn’t that he was being kind, but it was possible for him to provide some help with a lift of his hand.

But it was impossible for him to lower the price and deliver the resources.

He said this in the hope that the lords with ability would seize the time to recruit more people and search for the resources.

He would also be able to obtain more and more comprehensive seeds through being traded.

However..

“What is a Union? The boss actually recruited special talents!”

“Special talents? What kind of luck is this!”

“Tears of the non-ruler.”

“Is this a problem of luck! I also saw the construction conditions of the union, but there are no materials to build at all. This is enough to build several tents!”

“Besides, I can’t find any stones or iron blocks nearby.”

“Big brother, take me with you.”

Jiang Chen:c”…”

The current Lord really couldn’t do it.

He disappeared.

In the night,

“AWOOO ~ ~ ~”

The howls of wolves rose and fell.

Jiang Chen, who was lying on the grass in a deep sleep, opened his eyes.

He shook his head violently.

He walked out of the tent.

The tent of the subjects not far away.

Parker led the giant wolves out at the same time

The other subjects followed closely behind. They appeared very flustered.

Especially the weak commoners.

“A pack of wolves, it must be a pack of wolves!”

“Don’t panic, judging from the sounds, the pack of wolves is still very far away from us,” Parker said.

His robust figure was filled with strength and it carried the power to calm people’s hearts.

In an instant, the flustered subjects calmed down.

Parker saw Jiang Chen and said, “Your lordship, I’ll be in charge of keeping watch for the second half of the night.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

He called Tie Dan over again. Tie Dan’s physical strength far surpassed that of an ordinary person because he was a blacksmith.

Jiang Chen instructed the two of them to take turns keeping watch for the night.

After a series of operations, Jiang Chen also felt a bit tired.

He decided to take a good rest for a while and explore and search for resources as soon as dawn broke.

He especially searched for seeds and minerals that could be exchanged for gold coins.

In addition, the territory had to be upgraded as soon as possible. They were currently living in tents, and it would be very cold when they left the bonfire at night.

There were also all sorts of buildings. Everything was still too simple and crude, and there wasn’t even a basic sewing shop.

Looking at all the subjects in the territory, they were basically only wearing pants, and some of them were especially bald.

If the number of subjects increased later on and the territory still hadn’t been upgraded, then it would really become a situation where there was a man on top of a man.

..

The night passed without a word.

When Jiang Chen opened his eyes, the azure blue sky was before him.

His body was covered with a few pieces of coarse cloth.

He’d accidentally fallen asleep. He opened the chat channel.

“I haven’t slept all night, and the wolves’ howls are incessant. How annoying!”

“My place is even more terrifying. It seems that there are brown bears moving around here. My commoners are so scared that their loyalty has dropped and are unwilling to leave the thatched cottage. But what can I do? Don’t tell me that I have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the brown bears!”

“Lou can slide over with a slide shovel and feed the brown bears…”

“There’s a fierce person in our district who can kill a wild wolf alone!”

“What is this? Can he take on the entire situation by himself? Have you forgotten that boss Jiang Chen can even set up a union to recruit special talents? The resources he has won’t be simple either.”

Jiang Chen glanced at the lack of useful information and came to the market to take a look.

Whoa.

There were many more commodities being sold in the trading hall at this time!

Most of them were basic resources such as wood and grass.

There was also food.

Wolf meat, snake meat, wild boar meat, fruit.

It was quite the array!

“That’s true. Never underestimate the strength of others. It’s already been a day. It’s very reasonable for someone to sell some beast meat.”

There was still a market for wolf meat and the like, but the prices kept dropping as they competed with each other.

Jiang Chen no longer paid attention to the chat channel. He tidied up his thoughts after shutting down the system.

Jiang Chen slowly called over his tent. Everything outside gave him a feeling of rebirth.

He roughly inspected the nearby territories. Although he didn’t find any water resources, there was a forest that was rich in wood resources.

“Wang Ergou, lead five migrant workers to gather some grass and wild fruits nearby.”

“Tie Dan, take five people with stone axes to cut down the trees.”

“Parker, go and see if there’s any prey around you. Also, check the situation around you. Report back immediately if there’s any danger.”

After speaking, Jiang Chen handed the two stone axes in his hands to the subjects. The stone axes had been made through the system last night.

A total of twenty stones had been consumed.

“Yes, my Lord!”

Everyone immediately carried out their tasks after hearing Jiang Chen’s orders.

Their loyalty was above 70, so Jiang Chen wasn’t worried that they would betray him..
