"We get stronger as we kill monsters!"
"Now, I'm about to reach Level 4."
The middle knight said slowly.
The other two nodded; they too had improved.
Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction.
He needn't worry about soldier advancement.
As long as they fought and killed enough, their strength would grow!
Lin Chen gave names to the three Demonic Dragon Knights.
After all, these were his first three troops and might accompany him for life.
Based on strength, Lin Chen named them Holy Knight, Sky Knight, and Earth Knight.
These first three born would likely be the strongest Demonic Dragon Knights!
"Holy Knight, you will lead the Demonic Dragon Knights from now on." Lin Chen looked at the strongest knight.
Holy Knight's body trembled; he leapt off the dragon and knelt on one knee before Lin Chen.
"City Lord's trust, Holy Knight will not disappoint!"
Lin Chen nodded gently, signaling him to rise.
"Rest in the territory first, then continue clearing."
Holy Knight struck his spear heavily, shouting: "Yes!"
Lin Chen waved, signaling them to leave.
The three Holy Knights rested only half an hour in the territory.
Then they boldly charged into the wilderness again.
The city's wealth numbers began jumping rapidly.
Lin Chen's eyes twitched watching the fast growth.
How many monsters were there outside?
Like an endless stream!
No wonder other City Lords' soldiers suffered heavy losses outside!
Only he had Level 3 Demonic Dragon Knights able to rampage.
Lin Chen's first day in Myriad Clans Continent passed quietly like this.
At night, Lin Chen did not return to the mansion but lit a campfire outside.
He let the Demonic Dragon Knights roast meat themselves.
He roasted some wild boar meat too.
Truly native wild boar; the meat was chewy and flavorful.
Eating, Lin Chen browsed the chat channel.
["I'm so hungry, anyone can share food? I'll send you pics. black silk or white silk, your choice!"]
["Are you a spider spirit? Talking about black silk and white silk? Food's precious here!"]
["Monsters' howls in the wild are scary... trembling."]
["Let's hold on a few days! Once we have enough soldiers, we'll fight!"]
...
Lin Chen saw the chat and a plan formed.
Materials like wood and stone in the shop were not cheap.
Upgrading the main city would cost 40 Gold Coins!
But here was plenty of free labor.
These people were starving!
His food stockpile was more than enough.
Plus, killing gave endless food.
He could trade it!
Lin Chen's eyes brightened and he quickly opened trade.
[Item: Wild Boar Meat1]
[Price: Wood50 / Stone50]
[Note: Only 20 food available, first come first served.]
Lin Chen was the first to post a trade.
All City Lords' [Trade] showed a red exclamation mark immediately.
When they checked the trade list, their eyes turned red!
Wild Boar Meat!
["Which big shot has 20 food to trade?"]
["Big shot, first day and killing so many wolves?"]
["How did you do it? What troop level do you have?"]
The chat exploded.
Though chatting, their hands moved quickly.
Almost instantly, Lin Chen's 20 wild boar meat was all exchanged!
Other City Lords were hiding in their shields.
Afraid to go out and kill monsters, they gathered a bit of wood or stone inside their territory.
So they had stockpiles.
["This price is sky-high!"]
["Expensive? What's more important, money or life?"]
["Exactly! Damn! Can you leave some for me?"]
Lin Chen grinned as resources arrived.
Wood700, Stone300!
Wasn't this cheaper than the shop?
If he sold all his stored food, he could upgrade the City Lord Mansion immediately!
But no rush.
Prices could rise further.
"Everyone, I'll post some food again tomorrow morning, but just a little."
Lin Chen typed this message in the channel.
After sending, he smiled brightly.
Hunger marketing, he must try it!
Seeing the message, City Lords who missed food perked up.
Great!
There was still hope!
They stood silently and told their soldiers,
"All move, chop wood and collect stone!"
Lin Chen did not know,
his casual act had made countless soldiers busy.
Tonight would be a sleepless night.
After eating and drinking, Lin Chen slept comfortably in the mansion.
When he woke, sunlight had already spread over the land.
He remembered his promise from last night.
He hurried to put food up for trade again.
...
In Myriad Clans Continent,
countless starving lords stared fixedly at [Trade]!
Even with bloodshot eyes, they refused to rest.
It was time!
That person should be selling food again.
They could not miss it!
These City Lords were starving and exhausted.
Even with red eyes, they wouldn't rest.
Afraid of missing the chance to trade food.
Every second felt so long to them.
Finally,
a red exclamation mark appeared during the tedious wait!
A trade message was posted!
Everyone clicked wildly!
[Item: Wild Boar Meat1 / Wolf Meat1]
[Price: Wood100 / Stone*100]
[Note: 50 food, first come first served.]
Fifty food was snatched up in less than a second!
Those who got food were overjoyed!
Those who missed cursed and exited the trade menu!
["Haha, I got it! No more hunger!"]
["Wish you all losers who got food eternal singleness!"]
["Wow, nothing in one second, too crazy."]
...
The chat exploded again.
Some sharp City Lords noticed something strange.
["Hmm? Did you notice? The price just doubled!"]
