“This… is a Special Military Camp Blueprint?!”

Avril’s mouth was wide open in shock. She could even fit an egg inside of it. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

Military camps were different from barracks. Barracks were not suitable for large-scale job change or training. On the other hand, this wasn’t the case for military camps. As long as they had enough subjects, they could easily train soldiers in batches!

Avril had seen it in other people’s posts. However, it was not clear where ordinary people could obtain the military camp blueprints.

Not to mention, what they wanted to get was the Special Military Camp Blueprint!

As for Su Mu, he simply went out and ended up killing a demonic beast, the black bear. Just like that he obtained the Special Military Camp Blueprint.

Even if someone said that Su Mu was not a special NPC, Avril would not believe it.

Right now, Avril looked at Su Mu with a special meaning in her eyes.

“Yes. Get someone to start building this military camp.”

Su Mu explained the location of the camp and some other details to Avril.

“Okay…”

Avril agreed.

“I’m too tired. I’m going to rest first.”

Su Mu panted heavily. When he saw a safe place in the village, his whole body relaxed.

After saying the words, Su Mu turned around and proceeded to rest.

Avril was left behind as she held the blueprint while looking stunned.

“Su Mu is definitely a special NPC, but why would he come to my territory?”

Avril held her chin with one hand as she pondered.

Logically speaking, such an outstanding NPC like Su Mu would not normally come to her territory. Hence, it was hard for Avril to believe it.

If it were any other place, an NPC with Su Mu’s potential and ability would not have to submit to her authority. In other places, he would at least be able to stand out in a better territory.

But Su Mu was willing to come to a small village like hers. There must be some reason behind it.

Moreover, he had no objections to staying in her territory, and he even handed such a precious blueprint to her.

Looking at Su Mu’s back, Avril secretly made up her mind.

A few hours later.

Su Mu woke up from his rest. The number of subjects in the village had also increased a lot. Avril had recruited a total of twenty villagers and some soldiers to guard the village.

“Su Mu, you’re awake. Come and take a look. Our village is complete!”

In fact, Su Mu did not need Avril to brief him in order to notice the changes in Chang’an Village.

Compared to when it was at Level 2, the area of Level 3 Chang’an Village had expanded several times.

Not only did it have a few more functional buildings, but there were also more than a dozen houses that were used as residences of the farmers.

Even though it was already late, and most of the farmers had gone back to their residences to rest, the entire village was still full of people.

If not for the attribute panel and Avril’s existence, Su Mu would have thought that he didn’t transmigrate into the game but into a small village from the Middle Ages instead.

Soon.

Avril pulled Su Mu to the front of the Level 3 barracks.

Looking at the barracks that had expanded once again, Su Mu was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he asked, “How is the recruitment of the militiamen and basic soldiers coming along?”

“There are five militiamen and three swordsmen recruited.”

“So few?” Su Mu frowned slightly. “Are there not enough resources?”

According to his estimations, tomorrow would be the end of the safety period. Once the enemy attacked, Chang’an Village would need at least ten militiamen and five basic soldiers to ensure the safety of the village.

Now, the number of militiamen and basic soldiers had decreased by a full half!

The only possible explanation might be that the resources were not enough.

“The level of the barracks is enough, and there are more than 100 units in the iron mine. Avril’s little face was a little conflicted. “But…but we don’t have enough money…”

“You don’t have enough money?”

Su Mu was taken aback. “How much did I spend on the first two job changes?”

“The job change to ‘Militia’ cost 50 copper coins, and the job change to ‘Archer’ cost 10 silver coins. The third job change to a higher military unit cost 10 gold coins…”

Avril’s tone was weak as she said, “If I continue to recruit militiamen and basic soldiers, I won’t have the money to give you a job change…”

“Then, what about them?” Pointing at the few militiamen patrolling in the village, Su Mu asked again.

“Recruiting a militiaman costs 10 copper coins while a swordsman costs 1 silver coin. Training a militiaman will require 5 copper coins and a swordsman will need 50 copper coins…”

Su Mu understood.

As a Lord Player, Avril definitely had the starting capital.

Su Mu knew that the starting capital of a Lord Player was 10 gold coins.

His first two job changes would at least cost 5 silver coins and 50 copper coins, and his third job change required 5 gold coins. It was five times the recruitment fees of other soldiers of the same tier, and ten times the training fees!

In addition, upgrading the barracks and other buildings also required a portion of the funds… No wonder Avril was reluctant to recruit militiamen and basic soldiers.

It was not that the initial funds given by the system were not enough, nor was it that Avril was reluctant to recruit. Instead, she spent most of the money on his job changes!

“This little girl…”

“She’s so silly and cute…”

Looking at the cautious Avril with mixed feelings, Su Mu sighed silently in his heart.

“Su Mu, don’t worry!” Seeing Su Mu look at her without saying anything, Avril was a little flustered. “I-I’m very rich! As long as… As long as we can replenish our money, we’ll be rich soon!”

If the natives heard what she said, they would definitely find it hard to understand.

However, Su Mu understood what Avril meant.

Avril was prepared to wait for the game to open the recharge channel and use money from the real world. She would then trade it for the currency in the game.

“Okay.”

However, this was impossible. This game was completely close to the real world, so there was no recharge channel. She could only wait for the later game world to completely integrate with the real world. However, there was no need to tell Avril this now.

A warm current surged in Su Mu’s heart. Su Mu patted Avril and said gently, “Let’s change jobs first and deal with the crisis tomorrow. The development of the village and the money I need for the next job change… Let’s think of a way together!”

As Su Mu said this, he walked into the barracks.

“Job change requirements are met.”

“Please choose the job you will transfer to, or be assisted by the Lord.”

When Su Mu entered the barracks, a notification appeared on his attribute panel.

As usual, Su Mu chose the direction of his own job change. Su Mu began to select his own advanced class.

The basic unit was ‘Archer’. He had two orthodox directions for the job change. These were: ‘Longbowman’ and ‘Spear Thrower’.

Both were long-ranged classes. The ‘Longbowman’ was an enhanced version of ‘Archer’ while the ‘Spear Thrower’ was an advanced variant.

Compared to a ‘Longbowman’, a ‘Spear Thrower’ carried far fewer short spears than the arrows that the former could carry. Their ability to fight continuously was weaker, but the attack power was far beyond that!

In the middle range, the short spears thrown by a ‘Spear Thrower’ had several times the attack power of bows and arrows!
