Swoosh—two thousand units of Furious Blood Orcs appeared before Lin Chen.
[Furious Blood Orc]
Rank: 6
Level: 1
HP: 7000
Defense: 1500
Attack: 1300
Speed: 125
Skills:
Whirlwind Slash: Swiftly spins a stone axe, dealing damage to all targets within a 10-meter radius and forcibly knocking them back.
Bloodrage State: Each time the orc attacks or is attacked, it generates Rage. Once full, it enters a Bloodrage State, gaining a shield worth 30% of its max HP, and boosting attack, dual resistances, and speed by 30%, while doubling attack speed for 3 minutes.
Description: A powerful orc infused with pure warrior blood, renowned for strength and defense.
As expected, the Furious Blood Orcs did not disappoint—solid stats and impressive skills. Definitely worth the two days Lin Chen spent obtaining them. They'd serve him well until something better came along.
At this point, Lin Chen's gold had dwindled to just a few hundred thousand. His current troop roster looked like this:
Dwarf Miner × 20,000
Windrunner Archer × 3,500
Furious Blood Orc × 2,000
Griffin Knight × 50,000
Total: 75,500 units.
Frankly speaking, still not enough. Lin Chen needed a strategy to push his troop count toward 200,000, his second milestone.
"Still not fast enough. I need to push harder!" Lin Chen clenched his fist.
After breakfast, he gathered his three female heroes in the Lord Hall's open plaza.
He announced the day's assignments:
"Ina, Jia Lou—same as always, come with me. Lilith, you've got a new task today."
Lilith lit up and quickly responded,
"Yes, Lord. Please instruct me."
She had spent the past couple of days stuck guarding the territory. The chance for a new mission was most welcome.
Lin Chen pointed at the 20,000 Dwarf Miners nearby.
"See those Dwarf Miners? Your job is to protect the territory and lead them to gather all nearby resource points. Can you handle it?"
Lilith nodded firmly.
"I promise to complete the task!"
Lin Chen nodded in return.
"Good. They're in your hands."
With that, Lin Chen took Ina, Jia Lou, the Griffin Knights, and the Furious Blood Orcs and set out beyond the territory.
The day's goal was the same as before: gather resources, open chests, and slay bosses.
Truthfully, Lin Chen wanted to scout the central region of Dragonspine Mountain, especially the hidden realms rumored to be there.
But that was just a dream for now.
He lacked the power.
To conquer one of those hidden realms, he'd likely need 100,000 Tier 6 troops or more.
Even if he could win now, the cost in casualties would be brutal.
So... no choice. He had to focus on stockpiling resources.
This went on for three days straight.
Day 1
Basic Resources: 8+ million
Misc. Equipment, Troops, Items
Summer Coin Income: 8.6 million
Day 2
Basic Resources: 7+ million
Misc. Equipment, Troops, Items
Summer Coin Income: 12.3 million
Day 3
Basic Resources: 5+ million
Misc. Equipment, Troops, Items
Summer Coin Income: 10.2 million
Troop training continued nonstop. As soon as resources came in, they were used to bolster the army.
By now, Furious Blood Orcs had reached 43,000 units.
Lin Chen had saved up quite a bit of Summer Coin but hadn't spent any yet.
Now was the time to go all in.
First up: the remaining two monthly resource packs—a no-brainer.
"You have purchased Resource Pack ×2. Cost: 10 million Summer Coins."
Remaining Summer Coin: 20 million.
Next, Lin Chen browsed the available bundles and settled on the Hero Bundle.
It could only be purchased three times per lifetime.
He had already bought one for Lilith.
Two slots remained.
"You have purchased Hero Bundle ×2. Cost: 20 million Summer Coins."
Summer Coin: 0.
Lin Chen then opened the newly purchased bundles.
"You opened Resource Pack ×2: Gained 6 million Basic Resources, 600,000 Food."
"You opened Hero Bundle ×2: Gained D-rank Human Hero [Sano], A-rank Orc Hero [Mankun], Hero Advancement Gem ×20."
Two six-pointed star teleportation arrays appeared before him.
From the glowing white light, two figures emerged—
One was a slightly stooped but spirited old man.
The other was a towering orc, well over two meters tall.
"Logistics Officer Sano, reporting for duty, my Lord."
"Barbaric Warlord Mankun, at your service, my Lord."
Both kneeled in greeting.
Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly.
Damn... both guys. Did I use up all my good fortune with women already?
"Ahem. No need for formalities. Please rise."
He immediately checked their status panels.
[Sano]
Class: Logistics Officer
Rank: D
Level: 1
HP: 2000
Defense: 210
Attack: 200
Speed: 100
Skills:
Resource Management: The signature skill of a logistics officer. Organizes and categorizes all territory resources, handling all back-end tasks with precision and efficiency.
Description: A logistics officer with 50 years of experience, known for his formidable management capabilities.
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.
Stats-wise, nothing impressive—honestly, pretty average.
But "average" doesn't mean "useless."
In fact, this was exactly the kind of helper Lin Chen's territory now needed.
As the territory grew and troop numbers exploded, he couldn't manage everything personally.
That would be insane.
But with a logistics officer like Sano, all those petty and tedious tasks could be delegated.
Which would greatly lighten Lin Chen's load and free him to focus on larger plans for the future.
In short—Sano, the little old man, was definitely worth developing.
