“Hey, hey, you guys are being too extreme. Is there really a need to spew such venomous words?’1

“Exactly, the meat and various tools that Fang Hao sells have helped a lot of people. There’s no need for you to hurl such abuses.”

“Many of us in this area have survived thanks to Boss Fang Hao. Have you guys lost all your consciousness?”

“Hey! I’m confused, why do you care if we criticize Fang Hao? Is he your father or your mother?”

“Exactly, Fang Hao could be dead now. You guys have been praising him so much—are you planning to die with him?”

A fierce argument broke out between those who defended Fang Hao and those who cursed at him.

Fang Hao was surprised to find such a thing happening, but soon he figured out the reason behind it.

In the initial stages after everyone crossed over, people lacked food and tools. (f)reenovelkiss

Even if they didn’t trade with Fang Hao, people wouldn’t deliberately offend him.

Today was the sixth day since crossing over. Those who had survived so far were already familiar with this world and had figured out the basics of survival.

The food and items like iron axes and bathtubs that Fang Hao sold in the channel were no longer indispensable.

Therefore, some people started to come out and began to verbally slander Fang Hao.

After all, cursing others does not come with the sense of accomplishment that comes from defying the powerful.

Ding!

A private chat notification sounded. It was from Dong Jiayue.

“Brother Hao, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, just had dinner.”

“Oh, as long as you are okay. Don’t take to heart what people say in the channel. You don’t have to bother with those annoying people,” Dong Jiayue comforted.

She was worried that Fang Hao might be disillusioned by the incessant abuses on the channel.

“Who are these people? I don’t seem to have offended them, right?” Fang Hao asked casually.

He didn’t take it very seriously, but he was still curious to know why.

And then, by watching the chat, he could tell.

Only a few people were cursely abusing him for no apparent reason, almost as if they had specifically planned this.

Dong Jiayue paused for a moment, then replied softly, “I’m not sure, but a few days ago people in the chat were discussing you. There seemed to be some resentment in their words.”

“Ah? For what reason?”

“It seems to be because the prices of your products are low, so they cannot make any profits.”

Fang Hao was not in the business of hiking up prices.

The goods he sold were sold to make a profit, but also priced so that others could afford them.

For example, the iron axes he sold.

Typically, making an iron axe would cost 2 iron and 2 wood, while Fang Hao sold them for just 3 iron.

Price was kept low so those who suddenly got the blueprint for the iron axe could not make huge profits by selling theirs. Since Fang Hao had a higher reputation, if people wanted to buy, they would choose to come to him first.

Even if these people sold at the same price, no one would buy their products.

“Ah, so it’s business competition. I was wondering if I had offended them!” Fang Hao exclaimed.

“Yes, it should be these people. I’m not sure, but the one who stands out to me is Yao Liang, although he hasn’t said anything today,” Dong Jiayue continued. Yao Liang?

Seeing this name, Fang Hao instantly remembered who this person was.

He had previously obtained the blueprint for the iron axe and was busted by Fang Hao for trying to use his advertising in the channel.

At the time, Yao Liang had angrily sent a private message cursing Fang Hao and wishing him ill.

Considering this, it’s plausible Yao Liang would organize people to verbally attack him.

“Okay, I get it now, thank you.”

“I should be the one thanking you. I haven’t repaid you for the weapon you lent me.”

The two ended their conversation.

Notifications for private chats kept ringing.

Many people were confirming if Fang Hao was safe and asking about the dispute in the channel.

Fang Hao thought for a moment, then opened the world channel and gave a response.

“I’m fine, thank you for your concern. I’ve seen what’s happening in the channel. Please don’t waste your messages on these people. I’ve added a few people to my refused trades list and won’t conduct any transactions with them in the future. Thank you all.”

At the same time, he put up for sale 1000 units of meat for people to purchase.

Fang Hao’s announcement and the food he has put up for sale provoked another uproar in the channel.

“See, Fang Hao is fine! If you’re so tough, don’t buy Fang Hao’s meat… Oh right, you can’t even if you wanted to.”

“People were saying Fang Hao is in trouble, looks like the real trouble is with all of you. He’s not in any trouble.”

“Whoa there, he’s just selling some food, look how riled up you all are.”

“You bunch of sycophants. The moment Fang Hao passes gas, you all celebrate like you’ve won the lottery. You must be used to being sons.”

Fang Hao made a statement.

Instead of calming people down, the channel grew even more chaotic.

At this stage.-

Food was no longer an absolute necessity.

People could build barracks, recruit soldiers, and go hunting.

Perhaps they didn’t have enough to sell, but they had enough to feed themselves and the villagers.

So, even if Fang Hao blacklisted these people, they weren’t afraid and continued to mock him.

When the channel started arguing again…

The long-awaited system prompt rang in everyone’s ears.

[Congratulations on surviving.]

[The newbie protection period lasts for another 10 hours.]

[When the protection period ends, all surviving lord territories will enter a beast frenzied state, prompting attacks from surrounding warcrafts.]

[Frenzy of Beast: All wild beasts will enter a bloodthirsty state, all attributes increase by 30%, duration is 24 hours.]

[Best of luck…]

As soon as the system finished speaking, another sound echoed in Fang Hao’s ears.

[Novice task changed.]

[Due to the special nature of your territory, your novice task has been changed to [Subjugation of Fireblade Tribe]. The original task has been cancelled.]

[Task Description: You killed the son of Chieftain Kent of Fireblade Tribe. The tribe will retaliate with 30,000 warriors against your territory.]

[Best of luck…]

The change in task made Fang Hao frown deeply.

Others were under attack by beasts, but he was facing an attack from Orcs.

Not to mention 30,000 of them…

The number is significant indeed.

Of course, when he wiped out that Orc team, he had anticipated that their tribe would seek revenge.

But he did not expect it to collide with the novice task, thereby causing a change in mission.

“It looks like I need to improve my defenses and increase my troops.”

Fang Hao still had 1372 Wriggling Spines, and a current force of 150,000.

Even though they were still Tier 1 soldiers, he wasn’t fazed by the onslaught of Orcs.

With such many troops, he could exhaust them to death.

He switched back to the regional channel.

“Damn, I have to set traps to hunt a single warcraft, this beast frenzy is going to be the death of me!”

“Exchanging wall blueprints, who has one? Offering a higher price, hurry up.” fre(e)novelkiss.com

“I don’t need walls, who has wooden fence blueprints? I’ll exchange it with iron.”

Confronted with the frenzy of beasts, everyone’s first thought was to fortify their lands before launching an attack.

Walls are the most effective, but even with the blueprints, the vast resources required are more than most people can afford.

Some people opted for a lesser alternative and decided to build wooden fences instead.

“Trading resources for equipment, exchanging for weapons now.”

“Yeah, who has iron weapons? I’m still using a bone spear.”

“I remember a few days ago, someone exchanged a blueprint for an iron spear from a beast he caught in the river. Anyone remember who he swapped with?” “Oh right, I think that happened.”

“I remember, he used a hardwood shield blueprint to exchange weapons from Fang Hao. Should be an iron spear.”

“Damn, so that means Fang Hao has got iron spears and hardwood shields..”
