Time flew by. It had been exactly five months since William crossed into the game world, and the time left to him was growing ever shorter.
Rainbow Lake was like an enormous sweet bun, drawing wave after wave of magical beasts and wild animals.
And he was like a diligent herdsman, happily shearing one flock after another.
It had already been a full two weeks since he last dealt with magical beasts, yet no new ones had appeared.
It had to be said, this was a sad story, because the army's daily ration of magical beast meat was about to run out...
William sat in a rocking chair with a chunk of meat in hand, tossing pieces to the three little bears from time to time as if teasing dogs. The three bears, each already a full meter tall when standing, leaped up to fight for the food. He casually asked, "Still no magical beasts around Rainbow Lake?"
Nock nodded. "None at all. Magical beasts have some intelligence too. They get scared, and they no longer dare to show up near Rainbow Lake."
"Fine, then send one hundred human recruits to garrison Rainbow Lake. Also, have people build a dock and a mountain road." William stood and walked onto the vine-covered balcony.
He gazed out at the town, now ten times larger than before. It could be considered a small city now. He suddenly sighed. "The city construction is almost finished, and quite a few people are out of work.
"Farming and fishing are the proper jobs. Once we announce it, the commoners will naturally go fishing!"
"Wise as always, my lord." Nock chuckled.
William waved a hand, and Nock ran off to issue the orders.
Roar... Big Bear suddenly roared at him and strode forward, about to charge over.
