Friend Request

However, no matter how anxious Fang Ping was, he had to continue building various buildings, summon Skeleton Soldiers, and hunt wild beasts to exchange for the refined iron in the hands of the individual investors. Otherwise, after today, he would not even be able to produce much refined iron to make arrows.

Fang Ping let out a long breath, then walked to the bathroom. After washing his face with cold water, he walked out of the Shadow Dragon Villa with a clear mind that had been stimulated by the cold water. He started his daily routine of mechanically storing the resources with great boredom.

He came to the bone deposit area at the southeast corner of the territory, which had been formed to make it easier to collect all the bones in the entire territory. Then, he began today's Undead summoning.

Fang Ping recited the ordinary Undead Summoning Spell that he was so familiar with that could almost recite backward. From the pile of bones, a wisp of blue Soul Fire immediately ignited in the eye sockets of 18 skulls.

After Fang Ping recited the spell, the skulls began to pick through the pile of bones. After finding a suitable skeleton, they installed the bones on their broken bodies and walked to Fang Ping to report.

Looking at the number of Skeleton Soldiers that did not match the number he summoned, Fang Ping suddenly understood that he would probably have two more Skeleton Dogs.

The truth was just as Fang Ping had expected. After the Skeleton Soldiers lined up neatly and stood in front of him, two magic arrays were immediately outlined in the two empty spots in the line. Then, two Skeleton Dogs appeared from the arrays.

Seeing the Skeleton Dogs appear, Fang Ping was no longer as excited as before. After all, these were the fifth and sixth Skeleton Dog in the past few days.

Then, he brought the 18 Skeleton Soldiers and two Skeleton Dogs to the place where the construction materials were placed. He instructed them and the five Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers to do their best to create traps and kill more wild beasts. After collecting the construction materials, they turned around and left, not paying attention to the matters here.

Back in the Shadow Dragon Villa, Fang Ping, who was sitting on a recliner, began to process the meat and clean water reserves that had skyrocketed overnight.

However, Fang Ping, who had just opened the Trading Area and had yet to open his shop, was immediately attracted by a piece of news.

"Meat on sale! Everyone seeing this, you can't miss it."

"This pure-bred buffalo meat is guaranteed to be delicious. You will definitely not be short-changed."

"Furthermore, one unit only costs 20 units of wood and stone respectively, or five units of various ores and refined ores."

"There's a limited number of them. First come, first served!"

Looking at the buffalo meat that was sold at cost price, Fang Ping scoffed at it. He was even less concerned about this Overlord's meat reserves.

Fang Ping only took a quick glance at this piece of news before opening his shop. He began to put up the loot from last night's Skeleton Soldier hunt at their original location. The price did not change because someone was selling buffalo meat at cost price. His goods were still set at four times the original price.

After all, no matter how much meat the person selling buffalo meat had stored, it was impossible to supply the food needs of all the new Overlords.

It had to be known that in this world, there were more than a billion novice Overlords. Even if the person selling buffalo meat died of exhaustion, it was impossible to satisfy one in ten million novice Overlords.

It was just as Fang Ping had expected. One minute after the goods were put on the shelves, all the meat and clean water were sold out.

Looking at the empty store that needed restocking, Fang Ping chuckled and closed the virtual interface. Then, he began to think about how to collect more high-quality ores to accelerate his development.

At the same time, the novice protection period that was about to end, as well as the merchants who gradually appeared to sell the basic necessities of life —meat and clean water — at an affordable price, made Fang Ping realize that the period of profits from selling meat and clean water had passed. It was time for him to consider the next path.

When the novice protection period ended, as long as they could survive the first territory test, most of them would no longer be restricted by the need for food.

As for the reason why a small number of people would still be restricted by their food reserves, it was basically because the soldiers they summoned were all gluttons. It was not feasible for them to collect food alone. They could only exchange materials for food in the Trading Area to support their own soldiers.

Fang Ping was deep in thought with various thoughts running wild in his mind. He thought about how he should develop after the novice protection period and what kind of goods he should use to continue earning huge profits in the Trading Area and supporting his powerful territory.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Ping decided to focus on refined iron first. There were still two days before the novice protection period. Meanwhile, all the buildings he wanted to build more or less required refined iron.

If he wanted to develop, he had to find a stable novice Overlord supplier who could supply a large amount of refined iron. Only then could he enter the fast lane of development and quickly strengthen his territory and his strength.

However, in the Trading Area, the individual refined iron investors he saw had already been bought over by him. There was no additional refined iron to be collected in the past few days.

Fang Ping, who had been troubled for a while, opened the friend request list, wanting to try his luck. He wanted to see if there were any novice Overlords who could provide a large amount of refined iron among the people who requested to be his friend.

Looking at the thousands of friend requests, Fang Ping suddenly felt a headache. However, for the sake of his own development, he could only be patient and check the reasons for the requests one by one to see if anyone had a large amount of refined iron.

Time flew by as Fang Ping checked the requests. As he was about to fall asleep, he finally saw a reliable request.

"Greetings, God. My troops are Dwarves. My territory is in the underground mine."

"I have a lot of refined iron. I hope you can contact me when you see this request."

Fang Ping's interest was piqued as he looked at this girl who was about to buy him over just from this friend request. If this person really had a large amount of refined iron to supply, he could find a long-term supplier. If not, he would just treat it as him staring blankly into the air for a few minutes.

Fang Ping immediately agreed to this girl's friend request, preparing to ask if she had a large amount of refined iron to offer.

Fang Ping had thought that after agreeing to the other party's friend request, he would have to wait for a while before she replied. After all, the novice protection period was approaching its end. Everyone was working hard, striving to strengthen their territory as much as possible before the first territory test.

However, what Fang Ping did not expect was that the moment he accepted her friend request, she immediately sent him a message. It was as if she had been staying in front of the virtual interface, waiting for him to accept her friend request.

Moreover, after seeing that he had agreed to her friend request, her tone was very surprised and filled with disbelief.

It was as if she had never thought that he would agree to her friend request.
