A New Member, a Mage!

Jiang Chen blinked as he looked at the cute and silly girl in front of him.

He then came to his senses and looked at her detailed stats.

"Subject: Lucy. Level: apprentice mage. Potential: 4 stars. Strength: 15. Agility: 14. Spirit: 26. Talent: nature's grasp. Description: has an extremely high affinity with nature. Talent evolves with one's own strength. Abilities: healing at LVL 1, ice crystal at LVL 1, thorn at LVL 2. Loyalty: 80."

"My physical fitness is average, but my spirit power is truly strong!"

"I can't believe that you have such great potential and even know how to heal. I Won't have to worry about simple injuries in the future!"

Jiang Chen smiled at this newly summoned junior sister and nodded:

"Welcome aboard, Lucy."

Lucy was a bit shy and nodded with her head lowered.

Jiang Chen instructed everyone to gather useful supplies before returning to the territory.

When they came out, there was one more Lucy.

When they returned to the vicinity of the territory, the entire sky was already completely dark.

Bonfires had been set up outside, lighting everyone's faces bright red.

There were now 17 people, which was the entire population of the territory.

Including Jiang Chen himself.

The dinner had been harvested not long ago, and was completely fresh gray wolf meat.

It was a pity that this world didn't have seasonings, or else it would taste even more delicious.

It was very dangerous in the Wild at night.

Not to mention wild beasts, it was very easy to get injured while working in a situation where one's vision was inconvenient.

Not to mention that these commoners were all living people and would be afraid.

If one wasn't careful, one might even lose their loyalty.

At present, only Jiang Chen himself was staying in the lodgings, while the rest were still sleeping in tents.

Jiang Chen immediately decided.

"In order to have a good place to rest at night, we must build some lodgings."

This was called making full use of time. The bonfire lit up the surroundings and dispelled the panic.

Tie Dan and the others, who had just finished eating and drinking, started working without any resistance.

The Lord of the territory gave them food and drink.

There was wolf meat and sweet berries.

What reason did they have to slack off.

"Work!"

"Heya!"

Jiang Chen opened the Lord's system.

He checked the available resources first.

There was no problem!

Although the lodgings required quite a bit of materials, the wood that the laborers had gathered today, along with what he'd obtained from the ruins, was enough.

It was enough to construct a few lodgings. When the time came, the subjects would be able to sleep together, and the size of the houses would be enough.

"Construct the lodgings!"

Jiang Chen pulled up the map of the entire territory, and the entire area of the territory appeared before his eyes.

The core, the south, and the southeast.

These were the three areas currently owned by the territory, the construction of buildings could only be carried out within the territory.

A translucent shadow of a lodgings appeared. After Jiang Chen had settled in,.

Wang Ergou, the construction worker, led a few migrant workers to pick up their tools and hammers, and walked up the mountain to strike.

Two level one lodgings were also constructed after two hours.

The standard equipment could accommodate two people, so three or four would be fine if they squeezed together.

Jiang Chen wasn't lacking in this bit of wood right now.

He waved his large hand and directly built two more lodgings. Parker and the giant wolf shared a room, and the migrant workers also needed one.

Master Lucy was staying in a single room.

Of course, he wouldn't mind if Lucy wanted to squeeze in with him.

Jiang Chen glanced at the sky after the lodgings had been built.

It was already evening.

Jiang Chen recalled the black iron treasure chest he'd opened earlier and pulled out a blueprint.

"Second rank barracks blueprint: wood 40x, thatch 55x, stone 38x."

The wood territory wasn't lacking at the moment.

There was a large pile of thatch.

There were still stocks of stones.

He waved his large hand and created!

Wang Ergou led a few men and picked up their tools and hammers as they began to forge.

Jiang Chen sat on the lawn and looked up at the starry sky. He bit into a mouthful of berries and ate a mouthful of roasted meat.

The life of a Lord was so simple and unadorned.

The area of the barracks was sixty to seventy square meters, much larger than a hostel.

But it was also very simple and crude.

The logs were set up on a shelf covered in grass.

"You can spend one soul fragment to train a commoner into a soldier and give him basic combat experience!"

Jiang Chen had obtained a total of 12 soul shards and a total of 10 commoners in his territory, but he didn't intend to spend them all.

He swept his gaze around and called out to the three strongest men. Jiang Chen arranged for them to enter the barracks and used up three soul shards.

"Training time: three hours. Countdown begins."

"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone get ready to rest. We'll take turns keeping watch later."

Just like that, Jiang Chen returned to his room.

He laid down on his bed as soon as he entered, and opened the trading channel.

"Trading hall."

All the items that the lords were selling were listed on it. But there wasn't a single item that had any practical use on the trading hall.

"There are so many lords, doesn't anyone have any rare materials or blueprints?"

Jiang Chen thought about it and decided to put up the wolf meat.

"Seller: Jiang Chen, item: wolf meat 5x, requirements: 6 iron blocks and 1 mithril."

"Remarks: collect all kinds of seeds, bring the seeds and chat privately."

Jiang Chen walked back to the thatched cottage.

He waited for half an hour. There was no private chat.

No one bought the wolf meat either.

Jiang Chen didn't continue to pay attention and fell into a deep sleep.

He still had to plant the newly obtained pea seeds tomorrow. It was another day of hard work.

The night was silent.

When Jiang Chen opened his eyes, the sky had already begun to light up.

He opened the system. He went to the market to take a look.

The wolf meat had already been sold!

"System notification: iron 30x, mithril 6x."

In the morning, Jiang Chen arranged for a few civilians to continue collecting berries, cutting down trees, and collecting stones and other tasks.

He then had Parker prioritize exploring the northwest and southwest.

The north side was backed by mountains, and it was easy to find iron and stone resources by exploring the west along the mountain walls.

There was a small river in the southwest corner of the map.

He wanted to first light up the map around the river so that he could lead it into the river.

"Lucy, you'll have to work hard for a while."

"These farmers need protection. Please patrol the area they've gathered outside the small courtyard."

Jiang Chen instructed Lucy.

"Yes, my liege!"

Lucy didn't complain in the slightest. She put a fist to her chest and bowed to Jiang Chen.

Then, her petite figure slowly walked out of the small courtyard.

After arranging the tasks one by one, Jiang Chen arrived at the planting area.

He first scanned the growth of the potato seeds.

"Ripening time: 8 days, 9 hours, 31 minutes."

"Mm, everything is normal!"

"Next, let's see what special abilities the pea seeds can acquire."

With a thought, a heavy bag appeared in Jiang Chen's hand. There were a total of 50 seeds in it.

"Ding! E-rank pea seeds. Description: can become a pea shooter when it matures. Effective long-range attack range 400 meters."

"Hiss... a pea shooter in a battle between plants and zombies?!"

Jiang Chen understood in his heart and couldn't help but laugh lightly. Jiang Chen immediately picked up the hoe and began a new wave of planting.
