Qingwu Feixue!

Su Ye looked at his private chat messages, constantly clearing some. Anyway, he was just killing time during the Void Trial.

As one message was cleared, another message appeared in front of Su Ye.

[Qingwu Feixue: Hello, I have a craftsman Troops, can we chat privately?]

Su Ye looked at the message with a strange look in his eyes. Finally, he didn't ask which big Families or which Great Merchant Guild guild he was from.

Su Ye opened the private chat and replied with a message.

[Otherworld Traveler: I just saw the message. Do you have time? If you do, we can chat.]

In one Territory, a girl with black glasses, who looked plain and unsophisticated, and who exuded a timid air, was helplessly watching the Troops in her Territory.

Tenth Rank Troops: Hill Giant.

These Gray Giant belong to a branch of the Golden Giant. They are skilled at crafting weapons and equipment and have considerable combat strength. However, their Unique Level problem is that they have huge appetites and a fondness for alcohol.

As a result, Tang Wuxue was never able to guarantee her daily income.

Even the difficulty of the Void Trial has always been at the Hard level. Given the strength of the Tenth Rank Troops, passing the next level of the Void Trial is no problem at all.

Not to mention a powerful Tenth Rank Troops like the Hill Giant Hill Giant, which is among the strongest Tenth Rank Troops.

This is the trouble that lords will encounter: insufficient food leads to a continuous decline in Troops Loyalty, and the inability to satisfy the Troops preferences will also cause a decline in Troops Loyalty.

So far, Tang Wuxue has exhausted all her resources to support the eight hundred Gray Giant in her Territory, and this is still because she has not yet completed the daily recruitment.

Otherwise, it would be a problem whether these Gray Giant could even get enough to eat.

Now she only has one path to take, which is to find a powerful figure to rely on, otherwise she will eventually be unable to support her Troops. Even after she passes the Novice Period, this is the only path she can take.

Why? This is what happens to Normal Lord. Don't think that Awakening a good Troops is a good thing for Normal Lord. On the contrary, the burden in the early stages is enough to drag you down and prevent you from growing at all.

The final choice is mostly made by Novice Period, leading them to sign a slave contract with the Trade Association after returning to the Main World. Even if they weren't subordinate lords, that contract was no different from a servitude contract.

Tang Wuxue may seem timid, but she is actually quite opinionated. Otherwise, with her level 10 Troops, she would have been recruited long ago and wouldn't be in this situation now.

Yesterday, Tang Wuxue saw Su Ye Su Ye's posts flooding social media with messages, and she sent him a message with a "let's give it a try" attitude. Tang Wuxue already knew what the consequences would be; as long as her conditions were met, she would sign even Affiliate Contract.

Upon seeing the message from Su Ye, Tang Wuxue took a deep breath and replied.

[Qingwu Feixue: Yes.]

Su Ye raised an eyebrow as he read the message from Qingwu Feixue.

[Otherworld Traveler: I have some weapon and equipment blueprints. You should know what these are, so do you have anything to say?]

Tang Wuxue looked at the message Su Ye sent: weapon and equipment blueprints, the goose that lays golden eggs. She naturally knew this as well. Su Ye asked her what she wanted to say, and the meaning was very clear.

That is, show off your strengths, talents, and resources.

Thinking of this Tang Wuxue sent messages to the other lords as before.

[Qingwu Feixue: Troops Troops: Tenth Rank Hill Giant, skilled in combat and equipment crafting, talent currently confidential, requires Equal Contract!]

"Hmm?" Su Ye looked at the message sent by Tang Wuxue.

The Tenth Rank Troops's talent wasn't mentioned, but it requires Equal Contract. Hmmm, no wonder it came looking for me.

Such a contract is practically impossible to come by unless the power is equal. People from powerful Families or Great Merchant Guild would never sign such a contract.

[Otherworld Traveler: Equal Contract is impossible. You know no one would sign such a contract, especially since you're asking for a favor, not the other way around. I have a few purple blueprints with Affiliate Lord Contract. I can guarantee I won't force you to do anything. We can write that into the contract. Think about it.]

Tang Wuxue looked at the message sent by Su Ye, biting her lip. The Affiliate Lord Contract meant that once signed, they would truly be bound together by life and death. In particular, the life and death of the subordinate lord was basically in the hands of the main lord, who could even strip the subordinate lord of the power to recruit Troops and so on.

However, compared to the slave contracts and master-servant contracts written by others, the conditions Su Ye offered were much better.

"A purple blueprint!!" Tang Wuxue keenly grasped the key point: a purple blueprint, not white, not cyan, but a purple blueprint!!!

What does this mean? It means that the opponent's Troops strength is not low, or even very strong, otherwise how could they obtain a purple blueprint at this stage?

Thinking of this Tang Wuxue gritted her teeth and sent a new message to Su Ye.

[Qingwu Feixue: My talent is: Infinite Recruitment! I can recruit Infinite Troops and constantly increase Troops Loyalty by ten points, as long as I have enough Gold Coin!]

Su Ye looked at the message sent by Qingwu Feixue.

"Infinite Recruitment?" Su Ye stroked his chin, looking at Tang Wuxue's talent. It was a bit outrageous. Although it didn't provide any combat power bonus, the fact that it could consistently increase Troops Loyalty by ten points was already ridiculous. Although it didn't mention any special characteristics, this talent alone was enough.

[Otherworld Traveler: You have this talent, why do you need to find someone? I'm a little curious how you did it.]

Seeing the message from Su Ye, Tang Wuxue bit her lip tightly, her defenses crumbling, and immediately sent a message to Su Ye in return.

[Qingwu Feixue: Big brother, do you know how much a Hill Giant eats in a day? Do you know how troublesome it is to feed them? They also need to drink alcohol, and they won't work if they don't drink. What can I do?]

"Ah, this..." Su Ye looked at the message Tang Wuxue sent, and only one thought came to his mind.

She's panicking! She's panicking!

That makes sense, though. If it's someone like Lin Xiaoxiao, there's basically no need to worry about Troops. She comes with a subordinate lord to protect her from the start, so she can get by no matter what.

This Qingwu Feixue is clearly an Normal Lord. Although he has great talent and excellent Troops, he is now facing a huge problem.

That means we can't afford to maintain our Troops. The money we earn from the Void Trial is basically all used to sell food, and the price of food is ridiculously high Novice Period.

Food is the most expensive item Novice Period. Why?

Territory don't need to be upgraded, but Troops can't go without food; this is the most basic logic.

Hill Giant have an appetite that is basically on par with Dragon. It's already quite difficult for Normal Lord to keep them alive, let alone feed them to their hearts' content. They can only be said to be able to keep them barely alive.

The resources they earn are far from enough to feed them.
