“This is crazy.”
Lin Ye was in a good mood as he ate. He turned to look at Nicole and smiled. “You are only a beginner chef and yet you are already so good. If you were to become an intermediate or advanced chef, what would happen? Wouldn’t the food you make be enough to let people ascend to heavens?”
“My lord, I will advance quickly!” Nicole quickly said.
Any cat-eared chef would long for a generous lord like Lin Ye.
Once the news spread back to the race, even the top chefs would fight to come here.
Therefore, she had to put an end to her lord’s restless thoughts.
Seeing the little fellow’s pursed lips and serious expression, Lin Ye shook his head and laughed.
How could he not read Nicole’s mind after years of working in society? He didn’t point it out and patted her shoulder.
He smiled gently and said, “Breakfast is delicious. Keep it up, little chef!”
“I will work hard!”
Nicole nodded seriously.
“Alright, I’m going to get busy now. You can lead the other chefs to the fisheries to help. At noon, if possible, I want to drink some delicious fish soup.”
With that, Lin Ye finished his toast in two to three bites and drank the milk.
He turned around and took Adelia to the armory.
While the hundred rangers were still training their archery skills in the barracks, he had to solve the problem of the shortage of bows and arrows in advance.
Before they reached the armory, they could hear the sound of the blacksmiths hammering from afar. A large amount of wood waste was scattered in all directions, and the place was shrouded in smoke and dust. It was an extremely magnificent sight.
“My lord…”
As if seeing his silhouette, Blacksmith One revealed an expression of hesitation.
He was currently forging the blue tier weapon, Fish Stripe Bow, which was for the Class 3 wind elemental ranger, Adelia.
The success rate was low, and it required a lot of materials.
This bow alone required 300 wood, 100 stone, and 20 zombie souls.
The material cost was too high. Even for him, it was a daunting process.
“Don’t worry about me. Do what you have to. I’ll go find Blacksmith Two and the others,” Lin Ye said and headed straight for the second armory.
The moment he stepped in, an information page appeared.
Building: Armory
Level: Level 1 Armory (With the lord’s help, bonus efficiency is added depending on level)
Free Blueprint: All white tier weapons and armor. Requires one hour. Disposable arrows: 10 minutes per quiver.
Blue Tier Weapon Blueprint: Fish Stripe Bow (200 Wood, 100 Stone, 20 Zombie Souls) Time Required: 2 hours, Blue Tier Arrows: 20 minutes per quiver)
Black Iron Longsword (200 Metal, 20 Zombie Souls. Time Required: 2 hours!)
Note: Ore Mining requires the construction of a mining factory at an ore area. (Obtained once Bunker reaches Level 4, from opening of treasure chests and zombie drops)
“Ho, a new building has been triggered.”
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows. Fortunately, he did not need the black iron longsword for the time being. The need to have a mining factory was not high.
Currently, most of the soldiers were Class 1 rangers and light-armored shield soldiers. They were the priority.
He waved his hand and called for Blacksmith Two to come over. He said, “Other than assisting Blacksmith One in crafting the Fish Stripe Bow, get all the other armories to craft white tier bows and arrows. Pair them up as a set. We need a total of 120 sets of those. Upon completion, change the blueprint to rattan armor. Make 300 of those first to arm each Light Armored Shield soldier.”
“For weapons, it’s best to be equipped with spears and shields for both offensive and defensive power.”
“I understand, my lord. It might take longer,” said Blacksmith Two carefully.
“No worries. I’ll give you a hand. As the lord, I can speed up the casting time. Let’s target to produce a hundred sets for both the rangers and light-armored shield soldiers before lunch.”
As he spoke, Lin Ye sent Adelia into the barracks for training. Blacksmith Two, him, and dozens of other blacksmiths were holed up in the armories as they rushed to forge the weapons.
Time was of essence now. Last night, he had set a goal for himself. Today, he would create at least 300 soldiers to clear all the zombies around them. It would be even better if he could occupy the graveyards of others.
This way, by the time the protection mechanism disappeared on the third day,
He could establish his territory into a consolidated piece. Only then would he be able to concentrate on facing the zombie nest towards his north.
After obtaining the 100xReward, what he wanted to do was never only to survive. Rather, he wanted to launch a large-scale counterattack. It would be best if he could break through the gates of hell that Nicole had mentioned.
Only by entering the tiger’s den could one understand the deepest secrets of this world.
A battle between zombies and humans had always ended as a defeat for humans. This was definitely not as simple as what Nicole had described.
Time passed quickly. The sun was high in the sky signalling that it was almost lunchtime
Suddenly, a piercing blue light came from the armory next door.
Immediately after, he heard Blacksmith One’s laughter.
“It succeeded! I didn’t expect that I, a mere Class 1 Blacksmith, would have the chance to forge a blue tier weapon. Feels good, hahaha!!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
“Boss has forged it!”
“Impressive. A 10% success rate. I wonder how much material has been wasted. If this happened at the clan, the clan leader would definitely beat Boss to death.”
“As expected of our lord. He’s willing to spend his resources. If it were me, I could do it too!”
“That’s true. The odds are the same for everyone. Boss is the eldest son of the first wife. Such a good deal for Boss.”
....
The other blacksmiths from the armory muttered sourly.
“Quite lucky.”
Lin Ye looked in the direction of Blacksmith One and smiled.
Logically speaking, with their ability and efficiency as Class 1 Blacksmiths, it would take at least two and a half hours to forge a blue tier weapon.
However, only five hours have passed since they started work.
There was a high probability this was only his second time forging it. There was a 10% chance that he would succeed and he actually managed it after two attempts. That’s some insane luck over there.
Lin Ye glanced at the mountain of arrows and armor behind him. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile, “Continue. We are probably done after this batch. I’ll go take a look.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Blacksmith Two nodded.
Although he was also curious about the blue tier weapon that his boss had forged, he still obediently stayed where he was and continued to work on his assignment.
As soon as he left the armory, a strong wind blew in front of him.
Swish!
A pale blue arrow beam tore through the air, shot from the armory, hitting the tree 300 meters away.
