I Want Them All! (Another update later)

Cang Yun and Baili were both Expert Level blacksmiths.

Cang Yun specialized in the crafting of armor, especially pieces like breastplates.

Baili, on the other hand, excelled at crafting weapons like sabers and longswords.

Judging by their areas of expertise, their philosophies were diametrically opposed.

Continuing their argument would yield no results.

Ultimately, the decision of who would get the Demonized Crystal would depend on what Huang Yu wanted.

One couldn't have both fish and bear paws.

A single Demonized Crystal couldn't be split in half.

Should it be the Flame Armor, the most top-tier among the Rare Grade items?

Or a longsword that had the potential to reach Excellent Grade?

Huang Yu declared, "I want it all!"

Seeing the two arguing, Huang Yu spoke up:

"I have an idea regarding this Demonized Crystal!"

Interrupting the ceaseless debate, Huang Yu tossed the Demonized Crystal to Cang Yun.

Baili's expression turned somewhat dejected.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

Cang Yun beamed, like a seventy-kilogram child.

He cupped the Demonized Crystal in his hands.

Even though the Demonized Crystal emitted a prickling pain, to him, it was as vital as his own life.

"Don't thank me just yet,"

Huang Yu said with a smile. "Baili, don't be disappointed either, because this Demonized Crystal is for both of you?"

Huh?

For both of us?

Cang Yun and Baili looked up at Huang Yu, their expressions filled with confusion.

"What does the Lord mean?"

Upon hearing that the Demonized Crystal was also for him, Baili's dejected expression vanished instantly.

"You can both have the Demonized Crystal, but I have one condition!"

Looking at the two Expert Level blacksmiths, Huang Yu stated:

"I want you two to cooperate and create a complete suit of armor that reaches Rare Grade!"

"Cooperate?"

"A suit of armor?"

A suit of armor refers to multiple pieces of equipment that complement each other.

Generally, armor consists of components like helmets, gorgets, vambraces, pauldrons, breastplates, and so on.

However, this doesn't mean that armor itself constitutes a suit.

A suit of armor typically comprises armor, sabers, shields, and other equipment unified by a certain characteristic or functional style.

Each individual piece might not be as exceptional as top-tier weapons of the same grade, like the Flame Armor or Frost Wave.

But when combined, their effect is far more than a simple sum of their parts.

The comprehensive performance enhancement for the user far surpasses that of individual equipment!

Watching Cang Yun and Baili deep in thought, Huang Yu smiled and said:

"I trust that the blacksmiths at the Blue Mountain Workshop won't disappoint me, right?"

Cang Yun furrowed his brow in contemplation.

But Baili, as if injected with adrenaline, declared with conviction:

"My Lord, please rest assured, we will definitely craft a suit of armor that satisfies you!"

Compared to the steady and reserved Cang Yun, Baili's personality was more proactive and outgoing.

Perhaps this was also a reason why their areas of expertise were completely different.

"Go for it, don't feel pressured. It's okay if you fail, just treat it as an experiment."

Huang Yu patted both their shoulders before walking towards the Spartan Warriors who were updating their equipment.

The last batch of materials from yesterday has been worked on overnight at the Blue Mountain Workshop, resulting in 70 pieces of Fine Grade equipment and 314 pieces of common grade equipment.

All 44 Spartan Warriors are now equipped with Crimson Crocodile Armor.

Each warrior also has at least one piece of Fine Grade weaponry in hand.

The menacing red armor, paired with the tall and sturdy builds of the Spartan Warriors, was incredibly imposing at first glance!

"My Lord, if you have no other orders, I will lead the warriors into battle!"

Dilios bowed to Huang Yu and spoke.

"Yes, with the new equipment, you can venture a bit deeper into the forest."

Huang Yu instructed:

"But still be cautious, prioritize maintaining your formations!"

"Understood!"

Dilios bowed again and then led the Spartan Warriors charging into the forest.

Meanwhile, Huang Yu began to take stock of his gains.

Out of the 123 wild monsters, more than half were Giant Lizards.

They contributed over 600 units of quality meat and over 1000 units of regular meat.

In addition to this, there were also large quantities of common and Fine Grade materials.

Cang Yun had just mentioned that if they had two more waves like this, the Blue Mountain Workshop wouldn't be able to process all the materials even with an all-night overtime shift.

It seemed Huang Yu would need to consider increasing the number of blacksmiths under his command.

Huang Yu planned to consume the rare quality Giant Lizard meat himself.

As their levels increased, both he and the Spartan Warriors had a greater appetite.

Previously, one unit of Fine Grade meat was enough to sustain their daily activities.

Now, that amount had doubled.

Each person required two units of Fine Grade food.

Fortunately, the regular territory inhabitants were satisfied with one unit of common food per day.

Huang Yu opened the trading platform.

He entered the Universe Shop, leaving a day's supply of food, and then listed all the remaining large quantities of food.

After that, he also listed the 9 pieces of Fine Grade equipment that the Spartan Warriors had picked out, along with over two hundred pieces of common equipment.

The very second the listings were successful, Huang Yu's Soul Crystal balance began to increase rapidly.

The world channel also became lively once again.

At this stage, there were quite a few lords providing meat.

Even lords like Galo, Tenglong, and Jiashide were starting to list Fine Grade meat in their shops.

This indicated that they now possessed the strength to defeat monsters above LV10!

However, their quantities were nowhere near Huang Yu's.

Moreover, besides the food.

Huang Yu had listed over two hundred pieces of equipment!

On the world channel:

[Lord Huanyu's strength grows at an exaggerated pace every day, it's terrifying!]

[That much Fine Grade food, how many LV10 monsters must he have killed!]

[And the equipment! The Blue Mountain Workshop truly lives up to its Perfect Grade special building status!]

[Why can't I get a special building of this caliber?]

[I just did the math, if we exclude items like the Flame Sparrow Egg and Hulan Barracks, other goods can still bring Lord Huanyu at least 20,000 Soul Crystals!]

[What the… my total Soul Crystals barely exceed a hundred right now!]

[This is too outrageous, 20,000 Soul Crystals!!!]

[Envious!]

Huang Yu was not interested in the discussions on the world channel.

He simply didn't have the capacity to pay attention to them.

His current focus was on when his territory would be promoted to Tier Three!

The Universe Shop had already sold most of its goods.

Combined with the Soul Crystals gained from the Spartan Warrior battles.

The total quantity reached 10,623!

For the first time in history, Huang Yu's Soul Crystal count broke through ten thousand!

In addition to this, Huang Yu also traded for over six thousand units of Wood, more than three thousand units of Stone, and over three hundred units of Fine Iron.

"Adding to the materials previously stockpiled."

"As soon as Lord Galo delivers the iron ore tonight."

"Once it's smelted into Fine Iron, the Spark can be upgraded again!"

At the latest, by tomorrow, the Spark can be upgraded to Tier 3!

Not only will the territory's area increase.

It will also bring more territory inhabitants daily!

For Huang Yu, this was a massive improvement!
