Recuperate

Soon, the beasts would attack!

Although Xu Hang had killed all of Zhang Tao's soldiers, their weapons were not damaged.

There were also some armors scattered across the ground.

He gained 29 weapons and 10 sets of armors.

One of the weapons was a Frost Blade.

"Hmm?"

Xu Hang checked the blade's attributes.

[ Frost Blade ]

[ Agility + 3]

[ Attack Speed + 2]

[ Attack Power + 2]

[ Passive Skill: Frost. When attacking an enemy, there is a 2% chance of freezing the enemy. ]

[ Passive Skill: Backstab. When attacking from behind, the damage caused will be doubled. Cooldown time: half a day. ]

This weapon would be perfect for Shadow!

Xu Hang held the blade for a while before giving it to Shadow.

"Thank you, Master!"

"No need to thank me. We're a team!"

There was a hint of redness on Shadow's face.

After distributing the remaining resources, Xu Hang was ready for the Beast Tide.

As the name implied, the beasts were coming in tides.

Normal traps would be ineffective. Xu Hang needed weapons of mass destruction.

He also wanted to improve his defense. 

The castle needed to be able to withstand the attack.

While he was dealing with Zhang Tao, the other farmers were not idle. They had gathered a lot of basic materials.

Xu Hang checked his inventory. 

'10,000 wood, 8,000 gold nuggets…'

He definitely had enough materials.

First of all, he wanted to build a road to connect the castle to a few important resource points.

If he invested in a few more cars, the farmers' production and efficiency would definitely increase! 

With that in mind, Xu Hang proceeded to produce more cars while the farmers began building the road.

In just one afternoon, the road was done.

Xu Hang thought that this should boost the farmers' levels.

He accessed the system's panel and checked on the farmers.

'Everyone had only gone up by one level?

'No, no, no, Shadow has gained two levels and is currently at the same level as Hill.

'Why does it seem a little slow? They're not leveling as fast as before.

'Perhaps this game is just like any other. It's easy to level at the beginning, but then it'll slow down.

'Forget it. For now, I'm invincible anyway.'

After a while, the cars were also ready.

He arranged for the farmers to collect materials using the cars.

The number of resources began to increase rapidly!

Additionally, the farmers driving the car had leveled up and their intelligence was rising too!

It was normal for them to gain attack power, but it was quite difficult when it comes to intelligence!

Xu Hang's heart was filled with joy.

Now, he had plenty of resources to work with for his defense.

Catapults!

The simplest large-scaled and long-ranged weapon of destruction!

Xu Hang checked the system's panel.

[ Catapult ]

[ Wood x500, Stones x200, Gold Nuggets x20]

"This is cheap! I'll make ten of them for now!"

Xu Hang was clearly loaded in terms of materials!

Three hours later, the catapults were evenly placed around the castle.

In war, one of the most important matters to consider was food!

The troops needed to eat before they would have the energy to fight!

Farmers were the most powerful when it came to agriculture.

In order to stockpile food, Xu Hang ordered ten farmers to cultivate vegetables at the wasteland nearby.

Not only would the farmers grow food, but they would also act as bodyguards. If there was an enemy attack, they could quickly alert Xu Hang. Furthermore, the catapults were within the vicinity. So, they could even immediately counterattack!

It made perfect sense!

Another hour passed and the sun had set.

The wasteland had been cleared out and the other farmers were preparing cannonballs for the catapults.

"Alright everyone, get some rest!"

"Huh? What am I saying?"

"They're NPC1s that do not need any rest. Perhaps I'm too tired."

After saying that, Xu Hang walked into the castle.

As he was about to head to his bedroom, he thought to himself for a while and walked out from the castle.

"Everyone should rest and recover. We'll continue working tomorrow."

After saying that, he went back into the castle again.

The farmers naturally followed their orders.

Strangely, at the corners of their mouths, they revealed a subtle smile!

Xu Hang was unaware of this. He slept until noon the next day.

When he woke up, the farmers had already been working for quite some time.

He went to the balcony to look outside.

The land that had been cleared was producing a fresh smell of soil and grass.

Xu Hang reminisced about his old home in the countryside. That was all before he got transmigrated.

His parents were both farmers and they had a field right outside of their house.

Both of his parents would wake up early in the morning and start to plow the field. It was to ensure their crops would grow well.

Similarly, the air would be filled with the pleasant smell of nature.

At the end of the day, his mother would have prepared fish soup and a few stir-fried side dishes while his father would pour himself some white wine.

They would eat together and his parents would nag him at the dining table to work hard, just like any other regular family. 

...

Xu Hang came back to his senses and took a deep breath.

"I have to work hard and become rich. That's the only way I can support them in their old age!"

Xu Hang decided to build some fences next. He wanted to raise some livestock.

Since he was a farmer himself, he would definitely invest in agriculture. 

He opened the production panel.

[ Fence (per) Requirement: Wood x4 ]

[ Production Time: 10 minutes ]

Xu Hang did a rough calculation and entered his desired quantity. 

In an instant, 800 pieces of wood were deducted from his inventory.

Now, he had less than 2000 wood left.

Fortunately, his investment in the cars paid off and his stock should be replenished rather quickly.

However, the rapid consumption of magic crystals was also a problem. He needed to get more of those from the Beast Tide.

After a short while, the powerful farmers had completed making the fences. They also installed it in no time at all. 

Xu Hang bought some seeds from the system's store and ordered five farmers to plant them, while the others followed him into the forest to look for livestock to raise.

In the evening, they returned with a full load.

He even obtained a lot of basic resources.

Xu Hang put the pheasants inside the fence and selected a few to eat.

"Today, we shall have meat!"

He wanted to have a barbecue!

[ Bonfire Requirement: Wood x10. Can be used to cook food. The light will also repel wild animals ]

[ Build bonfire? ]

[ Yes ] [ No ]

Xu Hang did not hesitate and clicked [ Yes ].

"Everybody loves barbecue!"
