Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The day after her arrival.
Mike woke up early in the castle bedroom.
He washed up a little and went to the castle dining room.
There was fresh wolf meat stored in the warehouse.
He could roast it and eat it.
He had to cook it himself. It was troublesome.
He was lucky enough to have something to eat.
Some of the castle lords were still hungry.
After breakfast, Mike came to the courtyard.
Tyrell was waiting for orders in the courtyard.
“Tyrell, it’s been hard on you today.” Mike smiled at Tyrell.
Tyrell flew out of the courtyard. It started a busy day.
It seemed that he had to upgrade the dragon nest as soon as possible. It was too inefficient to rely on Tyrell alone.
Bored, Mike turned on the [world chat channel] again.
At this time, the world announcement had also changed. The general idea was that the monsters in the wild had returned to normal during the day, and were no longer three times as violent as the abnormal ones, moreover, all the troops under the Castle Lord’s command were no longer suppressed by the blood moon.
The carnival of slaughter had just begun.
[Phew! I finally got to eat fresh food!]
[When I used cheap wood to exchange for food, only then did I realize how treacherous Big Brother Mike was!]
[Bella will be my goddess from now on!!]
[I cried when I ate the steaming roast beef early in the morning!!]
[Support the goddess! Resist this profiteer Mike!]
…
After seeing these messages, Mike opened the [space exchange] again.
He found that there were also some Castle Lords who were putting food on the shelves!
Mike immediately locked onto the goddess Bella who appeared ‘frequently’ in the world chat.
He saw that she had put 500 units of beef on the shelves in the space exchange this morning.
And the moment it was put on the shelves, it was immediately sold out.
Was she trying to ‘steal business’?
He wanted to eat a few more days of benefits! He did not expect that there would be people starting to steal business the next day.
But thinking about it, it made sense. There were billions of Castle Lords, and there would always be some Castle Lords with powerful troops. Although the first day was not very pleasant, after summoning more troops the next day, their strength gradually increased, they also stood up one after another.
They began to imitate Mike and ‘exploit’ other weaker Castle Lords.
After all, wood and stones were the only materials to upgrade the castle. Some weaker Castle Lords could only collect materials to exchange for food.
The most eye-catching thing was still this Bella.
Compared to the other Castle Lords, the number was much more. Moreover, the ‘price’ of the transaction was also twice as low as his.
This generous move obtained the recognition and praise of many Castle Lords.
She was worshipped as a goddess.
As for Mike, he became a profiteer.
“As expected, I still can’t underestimate these Castle Lords.”
Although he was one step ahead of them, as time passed, he would be caught up by them, or even left behind.
Mike did not care too much about the name of the profiteer.
As long as he was strong enough, who would remember the name of the profiteer.
Instead of caring about this, he might as well care about the development of his castle. This was the most important thing.
Mike opened his [friend information] again.
There were still thousands of Castle Lords who asked to add Mike as a friend.
However, Mike still rejected all of them.
Coincidentally, he saw ‘Bella’ in his new friend’s information, and there was also the [Six-winged Angel] at the end.
Six-winged Angel was a top-tier military service in the foreign world.
It seemed that this should be the true body of ‘goddess Bella’.
Mike hesitated for a moment.
But he still rejected.
After all, it was very difficult to help each other in the early stages of the castle’s development.
If there was a conflict of interest between the two sides in the future, they could contact each other.
Of course, the premise was that both sides were not enemies and could survive forever.
…
As time passed, Tyrell had returned to the castle for the sixth time.
A large number of monster corpses had already piled up in the yard. Compared to yesterday, Tyrell worked even harder today.
Mike collected the monster corpses as usual and threw the furs and other materials into the warehouse.
The 400 units of food he obtained would be put on the shelves of the [space exchange].
Of course, the exchange price remained unchanged.
He could not lower the price of food just because of the generosity of the ‘goddess Bella’.
Although there were other Castle Lords who had put on the shelves of food, faced with billions of Castle Lords, this small portion was just a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, it was only the second day, and there were still quite a number of Castle Lords who were starving.
Although the price of his food was very high.
There would still be Castle Lords who were extremely hungry who would come to exchange for it.
Even if the Castle Lord himself could resist eating, he could not resist eating the troops under his command. Once he was hungry, not only would his strength decline, his loyalty would also drop.
If his loyalty dropped below 60, there might be cases of defection and betrayal!
Therefore, Mike believed that his food would not be unsold.
As expected, not long after the union.
The food on Mike’s shelves was still sold out.
The Castle Lords who had bought the food were also in pain and joy. They were eating the food that they had bought in exchange while cursing Mike in their hearts.
[World chat channel]
[warning! Profiteers are running rampant in the trade channel. Castle Lords, please stay alert at all times!]
[F*ck! Big brother Mike has appeared again!!]
[Indeed, the name of profiteers is well deserved!]
[Oh! Big Brother Mike should learn from the generosity of goddess Bella and not raise the price anymore!!]
[Yes, please be a human!!]
[With tears in my eyes, Big Mike’s snake meat is too delicious, it’s just that my heart hurts too much…]
[…]
…
Mike did not know whether to laugh or cry.
While Mike was cleaning up the supplies that he had exchanged for.
On a plain far away from the Nirvana Forest.
A tall woman with an outstanding appearance was standing between two little angels.
Not far away, there were a few little angels hunting cows.
This woman was Bella.
“He actually rejected my friend request.”
At this moment, Bella’s face was full of shock and she said in a daze.
Her friend request had never been rejected.
After all, she was the Castle Lord who had the highest level of military service, and her future was bright.
Many of the Castle Lords wanted to get closer to her.
However, Mike rejected her instantly.
She turned her head and thought about it. There were many Castle Lords, so he must have blocked all of them.
Then, he didn’t notice her friend request.
After that, her mood improved a lot.
Then, she opened the [space exchange].
Looking at the information on it, she shook her head slightly.
To be honest, she could not do anything about Mike’s unscrupulous business behavior.
