Thousands of Tons of Dragon Meat, a Bold Idea! (Continued)

"These dragon bones... can actually be crafted into gold and orange armor!"

"Doesn't this mean I can mass-produce Epic Rank equipment?"

Upon realizing this, his breath caught in his throat.

After all, the rarity and power of Epic Rank equipment are self-evident.

Moreover, this armor is made from dragon bones, and its attributes and value far surpass Common Epic equipment.

If all of them could be made and worn by the generals of the territory, it would be enough to greatly increase their strength!

"Okay, okay!"

Shen Xing was overjoyed, and then continued to examine the second material— the Flame Dragon Scale.

"Besides crafting equipment, this thing has an even more important use: recruiting Flame Dragon."

"Based on the calculation of one three-star Leader Rank dragon per thousand pieces."

"There are over a million pieces here, enough to summon thousands of Flame Dragons."

"However, those Epic- quality dragon scales don't need to be used for summoning; they're more cost-effective to craft them into armor."

He made a decision in his heart and then continued to examine the third type of material.

That is, those more than a thousand dragon tendons.

There's not much to say about that. We'll hand it over to Logan and the others later. They'll use it with the dragon bones to forge a crossbow, which will be at least gold quality, and maybe even Epic.

When that happens, equipping the Silver Moon Knights or Skeleton Archers with these items will definitely increase their firepower by a significant margin.

Then comes the fourth, and most important, batch of materials.

Dragon meat that fell from the bodies of those Flame Dragons!

Not only can it be eaten directly, permanently increasing fire resistance, strength, and constitution, but it can also be made into potions.

The combined weight of the gold and orange varieties exceeds one million kilograms!

The implications of this are self-evident.

Just as food, it would be enough to feed the territory for a while.

Of course, doing so is too extravagant.

After all, this is dragon meat, which can increase attributes and has effects far exceeding those of Finger Worm meat!

If it can be cooked into a special dish, its attributes might be enhanced again.

Besides these, there's the last material—the giant dragon's skull.

There were over a thousand of them, enough to hang on the city walls and deter nearby monsters.

Or you could hang them on the knights' horses to increase their attributes.

"These dragon heads don't have any special attributes, but they are still very valuable."

Each dragon head actually represents a special title: 'Dragon-Slaying Warrior'.

"In the Land of Mist, many adventurers and mercenaries consider slaying a dragon the highest honor."

"Some noble children lack the ability to slay dragons, but still want to show off, so they spend a lot of money to buy dragon heads as decorations."

"The more precious the dragon head, the higher the selling price."

"In addition, hanging a dragon head on the back of those knights' horses will give them a menacing aura that can directly intimidate lower-level creatures, preventing them from resisting."

"Overall, this is a versatile and incredibly valuable material."

Shen Xing quickly recalled the information in his mind, then pulled himself back to his senses.

"Very good. Next, go find Logan and give them that batch of dragon bones, tendons, and scales so they can be forged into equipment as soon as possible."

"Show Nimue what kind of food that dragon meat can be made into."

"As for these dragon heads, we'll equip the knights with them later and see how much they increase their attributes."

Thinking of this, Shen Xing immediately maneuvered his wheelchair and prepared to leave the open space.

Just then, Kyle, the beast tamer beside him, called out, "My lord, please wait a moment."

Shen Xing paused, turned around, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The animal trainer looked up, a look of remorse in his eyes.

Then she went to him and knelt down on both knees.

"I am very sorry, my lord. I shouldn't have believed Vice Lord Hector and revealed the location of our territory."

"If it weren't for your strength, a major disaster would have occurred."

"All of this is due to my negligence. Please punish me!"

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback.

In fact, he had almost forgotten about it.

Although it was indeed Kyle's oversight that allowed the deputy lord of Black Hawk City to find his own territory.

But after all, they didn't cause us any losses, and they even sent us a large amount of troops, treasures, skill books, and other resources.

Shen Xing was too busy thanking him to even think about it.

However, he couldn't directly absolve Kyle of punishment in front of others.

That would make them think that the lord is too kind-hearted and will not be punished even if he makes a mistake.

This is detrimental to the future management of the territory.

Shen Xing's expression turned slightly serious, and he said in a low voice, "This was indeed your negligence, which almost brought disaster to the territory."

"But everyone has seen your contributions to the territory."

"Since that's the case, then I'll punish you by sending you into the mist to endure three minutes of its corrosive influence."

Upon hearing these remarks, the expressions of the group of butchers behind Kyle changed slightly.

Clearly, Shen Xing's punishment was a bit too severe.

When they were indigenous people, they were not afraid of this eerie gray fog and could even walk safely in it.

But since joining this territory, they have discovered that the gray fog has changed, becoming deadly to them!

Even a casual touch feels like being immersed in strong acid, causing skin ulceration and excruciating pain.

Not to mention enduring three minutes of erosion in the mist.

Even if he doesn't die, this person is practically crippled.

Kyle's shoulders trembled, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

At this moment, Shen Xing changed the subject. "However, the territory is in dire need of manpower right now, and it is precisely at this time that we need talents like you to make contributions."

"So we can discuss the punishment later."

"For now, you should focus on your current task and strive to breed more Finger Worm and Kodo Beast to atone for your past mistakes."

Shen Xing certainly couldn't actually make him stay in the fog for three minutes, but he couldn't go without punishing him either, so he came up with this method.

Let's give Kyle a seemingly severe punishment first, but don't carry it out yet; we'll deal with it later.

As for how long "later" is, that's up to him to decide.

This served as a warning to other territory members.

If you make a mistake, you will suffer severe punishment, and you may even lose your life.

Upon hearing this, the beast tamer paused for a moment, seemingly understanding the lord's intention.

"Yes, Kyle will work with all his might, even unto death!"

After saying that, he lowered his head heavily, his forehead touching the bluestone floor.

[Ding! Based on your choice, Chaos Points +200, Light Points +300!]

Shen Xing stared at the system notification in front of him, slightly taken aback. "This works?"

He hadn't expected that simply choosing whether to punish members of his territory would increase his points.

Although it wasn't much, it gave him some hints.

It seems that there are more ways to increase points than you might have imagined.

If this is used properly, a large number of points can be acquired in a short period of time.

Of course, there may be other limitations, as well as other ways to obtain points.

This will require some trial and error later on.

Then he waved his hand, signaling Kyle to get up.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he disappeared at the end of the open space.

It wasn't until a moment later that Kyle stood up from the ground, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction where Shen Xing had disappeared.

The other butchers gathered around, asking with worried expressions.

"Captain Kyle, the lord actually wants you to stay in the mist for three minutes... isn't that too harsh a punishment?"

"Yeah... isn't this going to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Kyle's expression remained firm. "I made a mistake, and I deserve this punishment."

"In fact, it would be more accurate to say that the lord is already very kind-hearted."

"If this were any other territory, they would have executed me on the spot, and it might even have implicated those around me."

"But our lord has given me a chance to redeem myself."

"Therefore, everyone must take my experience as a warning, do their best to contribute to the territory, and trust the lord's judgment."

"Furthermore, you absolutely must not make mistakes."

"Otherwise, although the lord is kind-hearted, he will still punish us severely."

Upon hearing the last sentence, the butchers' pupils trembled, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.

At this point, Kyle changed the subject. "But similarly, as long as we work diligently, the lord will also reward us."

"Like this time, he rewarded each of us with a Rejuvenation Pill and gave me a chance to redeem myself."

"Therefore, we must work even harder in the future to repay the lord's trust in us!"

Upon hearing this, the fear in the butchers' eyes vanished, and their gazes hardened once more.

Shen Xing was unaware of Kyle's discussion with the group of butchers.

He had already maneuvered his wheelchair to the entrance of several blacksmith shops.
