Frenzied Harvesting of Lordly Wealth [Seeking Favorites and Recommendations]

After Tie Zhu changed his class to Nord Shadow Scout, his overall attributes improved significantly.

However, compared to Colby and Luna, there was still a gap.

This was related to his potential and level.

Tie Zhu's level was only lv1.

If he were to level up, his attributes would likely not be much worse than Colby's at the same level.

"From now on, you will shoulder the task of exploring the wilderness for the territory. I hope you will not let me down."

Zong Shen offered a final word of encouragement to Tie Zhu.

Tie Zhu nodded firmly.

At this moment, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Zong Shen was filled with nothing but admiration.

"Tie Zhu will definitely not let you down, my Lord!"

"Good, go back and rest. Once dawn breaks, I will assign you your tasks."

Zong Shen waved his hand, letting Tie Zhu return to the thatched shed to rest.

At this time, Colby walked over.

The Giant Wolf Fenrir was still in a state of slumber.

"My Lord..."

Colby bowed to Zong Shen.

"Why aren't you continuing to rest?"

Zong Shen looked at Colby's resolute face and asked with some curiosity.

However, he saw Colby shake his head.

"My Lord, I have a sense of unease in my heart."

His face wore a worried expression.

"What is it? Is it because of the Goblin Tribe from earlier today?"

Zong Shen asked with concern.

Colby nodded.

"The influence of this Goblin Tribe is vast. Although I was certain that I had shaken off all pursuers when I escaped, I still have a feeling of being watched..."

"This feeling is gnawing at my heart, making me restless."

Hearing Colby say this, Zong Shen also furrowed his brows.

"Is there something wrong with Colby?"

He began to consult the Strategy Guide.

(Colby has been marked with a Tracking Beacon by a Goblin Mage. This magical beacon will continuously pinpoint his location for a duration of one day. Of course, you can also use Magic Expulsion to clear the beacon.)

(However, there is no need to worry; the Tracking Beacon only forms a vague directional guide in the caster's mind.)

The next moment, the golden text of the Strategy Guide emerged.

Zong Shen's expression turned grim.

That group of goblins had placed a Tracking Beacon on Colby, surely to trace him back to the source and wipe them out completely.

His own territory might have already been exposed.

He needed to make plans as soon as possible.

"Colby, a Tracking Beacon has been placed on you."

"Those goblins have very likely discovered the location of our territory."

"Leave the camp immediately, head north for forty or fifty miles, and wait for me there. I will rendezvous with you after daybreak."

"We must keep moving to confuse those damned goblins."

Zong Shen thought for a moment and came up with a plan.

According to the Strategy Guide, the Tracking Beacon, as a type of magical beacon, only forms a vague position in the caster's mind.

In essence, it is not a very sophisticated tracking magic.

Therefore, as long as they keep moving, stopping, and constantly changing their position, they can effectively confuse the caster.

It was already past 4:00 AM, the tail end of the late night.

It got dark early here, and it also got light early.

The eastern sky was already turning a pale white, and the surrounding darkness was gradually dissipating.

It was estimated that in another hour or two, it would be completely bright.

Outside the territory, the excited beasts that had been howling for half the night had all disappeared without a trace.

Around the territory, there were dense footprints everywhere.

Hearing Zong Shen's words.

Colby did not dare to delay.

He hurriedly awakened the Giant Wolf Fenrir.

Mounting the giant wolf, he prepared to leave the territory.

Zong Shen took two portions of refined camel jerky from his storage grid and handed them to him.

As dry rations for the road.

Colby took the jerky, bowed once more, and rode off toward the north on Fenrir.

Zong Shen watched Colby depart.

He turned and walked to the [Market].

In less than two hours, the three portions of Moon Spring Water had sold out again.

It was the middle of the night; were these lords all night owls who didn't need sleep?

The Tier 1 [Market] could only list three items at a time, which was far from enough for Zong Shen.

The [Market] building was not a basic structure and would require a blueprint for the next level to upgrade.

It seemed he needed to get his hands on a Tier 2 Market building blueprint as soon as possible.

These three portions of Moon Spring Water had earned Zong Shen 200 units of wood and 80 units of hemp.

Now, the four basic resources in Zong Shen's possession had reached a staggering figure.

[Wood × 331]

[Stone × 22]

[Iron × 60]

[Hemp × 117]

On the contrary, stone was now in relatively short supply.

However, that was easily solved.

Having sold two batches of Moon Spring Water, totaling 240ml, plus the production from the last few hours, his spring water reserves hadn't decreased; in fact, they had increased quite a bit.

He retrieved a few more portions.

This time, he only listed one for sale.

He only requested to exchange for 100 units of stone.

In less than three minutes, it was instantly snapped up by a lord.

That's an exaggeration! My friend!

Relying on this Moon Spring, Zong Shen could completely solve his resource problems in the early stages.

Not only that, but now, by leveraging the powerful effects of the Moon Spring, Zong Shen was practically harvesting the wealth of other lords like crazy!

At this moment, he began to look through the mountain of private messages that had piled up.

Over a thousand lords had sent him private messages, indicating that they had blueprints or peculiar items.

Unfortunately, very few were truly valuable.

Or rather, the lords were unwilling to trade away the things that were genuinely valuable.

After all, resources were renewable and could be continuously gathered, while precious blueprints and materials were rare finds that provided a significant boost to early development.

Using keyword searches, Zong Shen finally identified items provided by three lords.

Among them, two were special items.

One was a building blueprint.

Zong Shen checked the special items first.

In any case, the long night was ahead, and he had plenty of time before dawn to slowly haggle in the market.

[Primary Heart of Strength]

[Equip to gain +6 Strength]

This item directly increased base attributes.

It was worth a fortune.

Zong Shen estimated that the other party would very likely take the opportunity to gouge him.

After all, after selling two batches of Moon Spring Water, it had become a truly hard currency.

Every single [Tears of the Moon Goddess] represented something precious and could be exchanged for a massive amount of resources.

After Zong Shen sent his reply.

The other party responded very quickly as well.

This was an Arab lord named Muhammad 1985717, and as expected, he chose to demand an exorbitant price.

He opened his mouth and demanded to trade for a 400ml portion of [Tears of the Moon Goddess].

Zong Shen flatly refused.

[Tears of the Moon Goddess] were a rare commodity.

An extra 6 points of strength might not necessarily save a life, but an extra portion of [Tears of the Moon Goddess] meant an extra portion of health.

In the end, after some bargaining, the deal was settled for the price of 200ml of Moon Spring Water.

Zong Shen listed 200ml for sale at once, specifying the trade price as the item [Primary Heart of Strength].

The transaction between the two parties was completed quickly.

The 200ml of spring water emptied nearly half of Zong Shen's stock.

However, Zong Shen was not panicked in the slightest.

There was still about 250ml of spring water in the Moon Well.

Moreover, it increased by 50ml every hour!
