Population Breaks One Hundred, Special Building Blueprint!

Huang Yu rubbed his eyes and walked out of the castle.

The roars of beasts in the wilderness had kept him from sleeping well all night.

"Once I'm strong enough, I'll clear out everything nearby!"

With two dark circles under his eyes, Huang Yu thought viciously.

"Good morning, my lord!"

The moment he stepped outside, Huang Yu saw Dilios standing energetically outside the castle with four other Spartan Warriors, waiting for him.

After a night, all five had fully recovered.

This was not solely due to the training camp.

To a large extent, it also depended on the extraordinary physical constitution of Extraordinary Troops.

After a night of rest, the Spartan Warriors were brimming with fighting spirit and eager to head out and fight.

"Dilios, wait a while before going into battle. New warriors will be joining us today."

After yesterday's battle, Dilios had reached LV4.

This meant he could now lead fourteen Spartan Warriors.

"As you command, my lord!"

Dilios nodded respectfully and led the Spartan Warriors to an open area nearby to hone their combat skills.

Huang Yu, meanwhile, looked at the ten new residents who had appeared before the castle.

Six farmers, two gatherers, one tailor, and one carpenter...

Huang Yu was fairly satisfied after seeing the residents' basic professions.

At least there were no idlers...

Still, the tailor and carpenter seemed useful at this stage.

A tailor could sew together monster fur and scales, which could barely serve as armor.

A carpenter could repair damaged buildings and make some simple tools.

If possible, it would be best to keep them.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Yu remembered that he had not checked in today, so he summoned the lord interface and checked in.

Check-in successful!

Congratulations, Lord! You have obtained normal crops—Earth Melon Seedlings (100 plants)!

Earth Melon Seedlings: Normal crops. One batch of earth melons can be harvested every seven days.

Well... with eight farmers, he at least had to keep two to plant crops...

Was this a happy kind of trouble?

Huang Yu was speechless.

Perhaps in another lord's hands,

Earth Melon Seedlings would count as a decent resource.

But Huang Yu sustained war through war, so earth melons were rather useless to him.

Forget it. He would see whether there were any suitable discounted products today.

He opened the discounted products page, which was still filled with goods.

Legendary Quality equipment at a 90% discount—Thousand Year Shield. Original price: 240 million. Discounted price: 24 million...

Epic Grade Profession Scroll at 1% of the original price—Phantom Blade Knight. Original price: 62 million. Discounted price: 620,000...

Excellent Quality Special Buildings at a 70% discount—Yan Xing Army Training Camp (LV1). Original price: 360,000. Discounted price: 108,000...

The overwhelming majority of the products were still beyond Huang Yu's means.

But those expensive, high-tier products were not Huang Yu's goal today.

He directly searched for population in the window.

The discounted products menu instantly refreshed.

Only several dozen products remained before Huang Yu.

Random population packs of ten, one hundred, and one thousand...

Custom basic-profession population packs of ten and one hundred...

Special professions... rare troops...

Huang Yu even saw three heroes.

Every hero was unique.

After purchasing one, Huang Yu could have a second heroic follower.

Unfortunately, he did not have that many Soul Crystals.

The random-profession population pack of one hundred was at a 95% discount.

It had the lowest price among all population packs.

The original price was 1,000 Soul Crystals, while the discounted price was 50 Soul Crystals.

After upgrading the Fire Seed and Spartan Training Camp, Huang Yu still had 70 Soul Crystals.

That was more than enough to buy one hundred people.

He tapped purchase.

Fifty Soul Crystals were instantly deducted.

Then, one hundred residents appeared out of thin air on the open ground outside the castle.

After Huang Yu selected them, the information on all one hundred appeared before him.

Residents purchased from the Chaos Mall were all LV1.

However, unlike those summoned daily by the Fire Seed, their loyalty varied between 60 and 100.

Only a little over a dozen were absolutely loyal.

But Huang Yu did not particularly mind.

As long as he could provide for their food, clothing, and shelter and give them a stable life,

he would not have to worry about their loyalty failing to rise.

The professions of the hundred new residents were also quite varied.

Sixty farmers, fifteen gatherers, five tailors, ten carpenters, six servants, three cooks, and one butler.

Eh!

There were even servants and a butler.

Two professions Huang Yu had never seen before had appeared among the residents.

Butlers and servants.

Huang Yu summoned these six people.

The butler was a well-dressed middle-aged man.

The remaining six attendants consisted of four male servants and two maids.

They were relatively younger.

Of course... the maids were quite ordinary-looking as well.

"Master?"

The butler bent at the waist and called out tentatively.

Huang Yu nodded and said,

"From now on, I'll leave all matters concerning the castle to you."

"Understood!"

The butler nodded, then brought the six servants into the castle to clean it.

Huang Yu assigned ten farmers to the Spartan Training Camp.

Then he had everyone else perform their respective duties.

They reclaimed farmland, felled trees within the territory, chipped away at rocks...

The territory instantly became lively.

While the Spartan Warriors trained,

Huang Yu opened the discounted products list again.

He wanted to see whether he could find a bargain...

Going through more than a thousand products one by one was rather time-consuming.

After browsing for nearly ten minutes,

Huang Yu finally found a suitable discounted product.

Perfect Grade building blueprint—Blue Mountain Workshop. Original price: 230,000 Soul Crystals. Discounted price: 230 Soul Crystals!

The blueprint's description read as follows:

Blue Mountain Workshop was a famous equipment manufacturing workshop in a parallel world. They possessed extremely high production efficiency, and the weapons they made were of excellent quality and highly praised.

Blue Mountain Workshop had once produced Legendary Grade equipment, and their smiths were greatly respected.

Of course, if he wanted them to produce high-grade equipment, the lord would need to provide corresponding materials.

After all, even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice.

It was another Special Buildings blueprint, and the discounted price was only 230 Soul Crystals.

Huang Yu had originally planned to purchase ordinary building blueprints for making equipment, such as blacksmith shops and forging workshops.

He had not expected Blue Mountain Workshop to appear in today's discounted products menu.

Thinking of the materials piled up in the warehouse, Huang Yu grew excited.

He could forge his own equipment now!

Although he only had twenty Soul Crystals left,

he was confident that he could earn enough Soul Crystals before this afternoon!

Because he now had fifteen Spartan Warriors!

The doors of the Spartan Training Camp opened.

Ten LV1 Spartan Warriors walked out of the training camp.

Huang Yu checked the information on the ten men.

Although no hero had appeared this time, two of them possessed combat-related secondary professions.

The Spartan Warrior named Rudo had the secondary profession of Spartan Longbowman.

The other Spartan Warrior, named Mo En, had the secondary profession of Spartan Javelin Thrower.

Both possessed ranged attack capabilities.

Today's discounted products menu only had discounted Normal Quality longswords.

Huang Yu spent fifteen Soul Crystals to equip every Spartan Warrior with a weapon.

But once he got through today and earned 230 Soul Crystals,

Huang Yu's Spartan Warriors would no longer need to worry about weapons.

With Blue Mountain Workshop,

custom-making a set of equipment for each of them would not be a problem at all!
