At this moment, a notification regarding a loyalty update appeared.

[Due to your sincerity]

[Wolf Cavalry Colby's loyalty to you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty is 90]

Colby's loyalty soared straight up, reaching 90 points.

Zong Shen glanced at it and waved his hand to dismiss the notification.

He kept one piece of roasted wolf meat for himself.

He gave Luna a piece of wolf meat and some Unknown Dried Meat.

There were seven pieces of roasted wolf meat remaining.

However, there were 11 farmers, so how to distribute them was also a matter of strategy.

Tie Zhu, Er Gou, and Gou Dan were the first farmers to follow Zong Shen.

Although they were a bit lazy at the beginning, they had still worked solidly for the better part of the day.

In terms of both sentiment and reason, those three had to be given a piece each.

The remaining four pieces were easy to handle.

Zong Shen had been observing during the gathering earlier.

These four pieces of roasted wolf meat would be distributed to the four farmers with the highest gathering efficiency among the rest.

The farmer San Pang, who had excellent aptitude, was among them.

After Zong Shen distributed them one by one.

The remaining four farmers ate the Unknown Dried Meat to satisfy their hunger.

[Due to you providing food]

[Farmer Tie Zhu's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 88]

[Farmer Er Gou's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 88]

[Farmer Gou Dan's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 88]

[Farmer San Pang's loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 65]

[Farmer Xiao Zhuang's loyalty to you has increased by 3 points, current loyalty is 63]

The farmers who received the roasted wolf meat saw their loyalty increase by 5 points, while those who received the dried meat only saw an increase of 3 points.

These farmers are truly realistic!

After everything was distributed.

Zong Shen left behind a wooden barrel of water for them to divide among themselves.

He then returned to the courtyard.

He walked all the way to the front of the small, dilapidated hut.

He pushed open the worn-out wooden door and stepped inside.

The hut was not large, measuring only thirty or forty square meters.

The furnishings inside were also very simple.

There was only a wooden stool, a wooden table, and a wooden bed covered with straw.

Simple, primitive, and rustic!

Zong Shen sat on the wooden stool, holding the roasted wolf meat, and began to eat.

Since there were no seasonings, this piece of roasted wolf meat lacked flavor.

However, Zong Shen still ate it bite by bite, and soon finished the fist-sized piece of roasted wolf meat.

This was his first meal since landing here.

Food was a major problem.

Currently, the food reserves in the territory consisted only of [Refined Wheat Bread] and [Smoked Fish].

Food was a consumable resource, and this problem would become increasingly severe as the population grew.

Therefore, finding food had to be added to the agenda.

At the same time, he had to find a way to obtain food consistently.

As night gradually descended.

Outside the small courtyard, the incessant roars of wild beasts never ceased.

It felt as if tens of thousands of beasts were throwing a party right outside the courtyard.

The farmers were all trembling with fear.

Fortunately, with the Night Huntress Luna standing guard, those wild beasts dared not approach.

Zong Shen sat inside the small cabin.

He opened the [Channel].

First, he opened the [Friends and Family Channel].

"Ze, how is your development going today?"

"Have you encountered any danger?"

A dozen seconds later, a message came back.

"I'm doing great, brother. The resources in the forest are abundant, especially the timber. Each tree yields 8 to 10 units of wood. Although transporting it takes a bit of effort, the overall efficiency is very high."

"Also, I discovered an abandoned goblin logging camp in the forest."

"Inside, I found a recruitment scroll for a Goblin Shredder!"

"[Goblin Shredder (Click to view attributes)]"

Following this, Zong Ze sent an attribute link that included an image.

In the image was a short, green-skinned goblin wearing goggles, piloting a giant robot standing three meters tall.

On its two mechanical arms, one featured a cutting saw blade with sharp alloy teeth, while the other was a pair of iron claws capable of snapping shut.

Beneath its feet was a tracked, all-terrain chassis.

It looked incredibly badass.

It had a magical, steampunk aesthetic.

Zong Shen opened its attributes.

[Goblin Shredder: Oily Oleck]

[Potential: Excellent]

[Level: lv10]

[Attributes: (Click to expand)]

[Satiety/Durability: 80/95]

[Loyalty: 80]

Zong Shen expanded the attributes.

[Goblin Status/Piloting Status]

[Strength: 12/38]

[Agility: 9/27]

[Intelligence: 22]

[Charisma: 16]

[Health Points: 120/680]

[Slashing Damage: 21/70]

[Head Armor: 0/0]

[Upper Body Armor: 8/50]

[Lower Body Armor: 6/50]

[Magic Resistance: 16]

[Skills: Death Whirlwind (The Goblin Shredder swings its razor-sharp cutting blades, dealing slashing damage to enemies within a 3-meter radius for 7 seconds, cooldown 2H)

Logging Mode (The Goblin Shredder enters Logging Mode, with its blades spinning continuously to cut down trees and using its iron claws for transport)

Overclock (The Goblin Shredder enters an Overclocked state for 1m, increasing durability consumption by 200%, movement speed by 30%, attack damage by 20%, and attack speed by 20%)]

After reading the attributes of the Goblin Shredder, Zong Shen only wanted to say one thing to his brother Zong Ze: awesome!

"Holy crap, Ze, you're a legend!"

Zong Shen couldn't help but reply.

"It's alright, but the Shredder mech requires durability to operate. Although it can be repaired, the materials needed are things I've never even seen before."

"However, I also found a Black Iron Treasure Chest under a small waterfall not far from the territory today, and I got some food and blueprints inside."

"Brother, how about you? How was your day?"

Zong Ze seemed to be doing quite well.

With the Goblin Shredder, he could not only satisfy his combat needs but also solve the problem of the wood shortage that was most critical in the early stages.

Given its efficiency, it was worth at least a dozen farmers when it came to logging.

"I never expected my own brother to be the lucky one!"

Zong Shen sighed with emotion.

"I'm doing alright today too; I obtained two recruitment scrolls, recruited a Night Huntress and a Wolf Cavalry, rescued eight farmers, and even got a Black Iron Treasure Chest."

He gave a brief account of his progress.

He didn't go into too much detail.

The two brothers understood each other without needing to say more.

No one knows exactly how vast this Endless Continent is.

Unless they develop to a certain level, it is very difficult for the two brothers to meet up.

Although they are biological brothers and both wish for the other to do well, there is actually a sense of competition in their hearts.

Striving to be the best!

"Wow, brother, you're developing quite well too!"

"I've been watching the World Channel, and most people are still struggling, developing slowly through gathering and exploration. Only a very small number of people have encountered treasure chests or obtained recruitment scrolls and blueprints."

"We brothers must work hard!"

"In a game with billions of people participating simultaneously, there is definitely no shortage of lucky individuals and those with great personal ability."
