Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The normal equipment was naturally the goblin’s broadsword, lance, mace, leather armor, and a series of other equipment.
As for the magic equipment…
With a thought, Mike.
A magic staff stored in the warehouse instantly appeared in his hand.
This magic staff was inlaid with strange crystals at the top.
It came from the tier 4 goblin mage.
Its function was to increase the power of low-level spells.
This should be a piece of magic equipment, but it was very low-level.
“Materials from monsters!”
Mike looked at the castle’s warehouse.
In the warehouse, he had stored up to a thousand monster materials.
It came from thousands of monsters in the wild.
Fur, scales, claws, needles…
There was a variety of them.
…
Mike replied, [I have a lot of monster materials, but how do we work together?]
Lin Yaoyao replied, [there’s no need. Yaoyao can help you forge equipment for free!]
Mike paused for a moment and replied, [I don’t need normal equipment for the time being. The equipment you forge can be directly sold in the space exchange. I can trade it for the materials needed to upgrade the castle.]
[I’ll sell the monster materials, you forge the equipment.]
[We’ll split the profits from the sale 60-40. I’ll split 60-40. You split 40-40. What do you think?]
Mike could earn 60-40, but he was not greedy.
According to Mike’s speculation, the ‘smithy’ Lin Yaoyao owned should be the only building that could forge equipment at this stage.
She could completely ignore Mike.
She could buy monster materials at a low price, forge them into equipment, and then sell them at a higher level.
This way, she could earn more.
When the number of smithies increased in the future, her earnings would decrease.
If she worked with Mike, she could earn 60-40%. After all, this was a no-cost business.
It was just that compared to becoming rich overnight, she would earn less. However, it was in line with the meaning of long-term cooperation.
“Yes, yes, Yaoyao listens to Mike.”
Lin Yaoyao did not consider these questions.
Mike’s understanding of her was actually wrong.
She was not a shrewd businessman.
She bought Mike’s food at a high price, not as a long-term investment. She just wanted Mike’s protection.
In the end, she was just a 14-year-old girl.
She came to this world alone.
It was inevitable that she would be lonely and afraid.
In addition, the monsters in the wild were wreaking havoc.
She would also be afraid… and not feel safe.
She could feel safe in Mike.
After all, Mike’s strength was recognized as the most powerful Castle Lord.
After coming into contact with Mike, her fear of this strange world gradually lessened.
Therefore, she was eager to get closer to Mike.
Just like a child trying to get the approval and protection of an adult.
…
“Then it’s decided!”
Mike continued to ask, [how much refined iron have you forged now?]
Lin Yaoyao replied, [Big Mike, Yaoyao has already forged 800 units of refined iron.]
Mike was stunned. [So much?]
Lin Yaoyao sent a smiley face. [Yes, yes! Yaoyao can recruit nine grey dwarves every day. There are blacksmiths, absentees, warriors… They all work very hard!]
The recruitment mechanism of the military structure.
The weaker the military, the more they recruited.
The stronger the military, the fewer they recruited.
Just like Mike’s dragon nest.
Each level up could only recruit one dragon.
However, the dragon he recruited was undoubtedly powerful.
Perhaps with the upgrade of the military structure, the number of dragons he would recruit in the future would increase!
Today was the fourth day.
Lin Yaoyao clearly already had 36 dwarves.
Although there were many of them, their combat power was weak.
Mike could easily defeat her dwarven team with a single tier 5 dragon.
This was also the difference between a super top-tier Army and a low-tier army.
Mike replied, [I will sell 200 units of food and monster materials in the spatial exchange later. I will exchange them for 800 units of refined iron. You will be the only one who can buy them.]
[After you have finished forging the equipment.]
[Sell it to the space exchange yourself.]
[Buy energy stones, strange crystals, and upgrade materials for the castle.]
[After the equipment is sold, transfer 60% of the materials to me.]
Lin Yaoyao quickly replied, [okay, Mike. Yaoyao knows!]
[Okay.]
Mike immediately sold the food and monster materials and set the limitation of people who may purchase.
He was not worried that Lin Yaoyao would take his monster materials and not come back.
It was not worth it.
The two of them had established long-term cooperation. The long-term cooperation was in the interests of both parties.
A moment later.
Lin Yaoyao sent a message. [Big Mike, can you chat with Yaoyao when you’re Free? Yaoyao wouldn’t be bothered by Big Mike. She just wanted to chat with him and let Yaoyao know that Big Mike was by her side. Yaoyao’s parents were gone and she couldn’t find them either. She was very afraid to be alone…]
Mike was silent for a moment.
[How old are you?]
[Oh, Yaoyao just turned 14 not long ago!]
[Alright, only during free time!]
[Hmm, thank you, Big Mike!]
In the dark underground world.
The little loli with a gray face was happily humming a song.
Yaoyao was very happy today.
She went to the [space exchange].
She bought all the food and monster materials that Big Mike had on the shelves.
She said to the little dwarf under her.
“There will be an endless supply of food in the future! So everyone must work harder! With Big Mike, our lives will be better and better!”
“Yes, Your Highness Yaoyao!”
The happy little loli fantasized about her future life, and the corners of her mouth never came down.
…
Dragon King Castle.
Mike shook his head slightly and did not think too much about it.
After all, in this alien world, there were billions of people, and everyone was lonely.
He could not be the savior of the world, and he would help every single one he met…
Not long after, Tyrell and Barr returned to the castle with more than a dozen wild monster corpses.
Tyrell, who had put down the wild monster corpses, flew to Mike.
He bowed respectfully to Mike and said, “my lord, after a day of searching by Barr and me, we have finally found the location of the goblin tribe. As long as you give the order, we can attack the heretics at any time!”
“Oh, we have found it!”
Mike asked, “how far is the goblin tribe from our castle?”
Tyrell said respectfully, “my lord, the goblin tribe is less than three kilometers away from the castle.”
Three kilometers.
As he had guessed, it was not far.
Because of the close distance, the goblin tribe was able to mobilize more goblin warriors in a short period of time to invade the Dragon King Castle.
Mike looked at the sky outside the castle.
The sky was getting darker and the blood moon was about to rise.
