As time slowly passed, with personnel in place one by one, the development of the Tianyuan Territory proceeded in an orderly and rapid manner.

Lord Shepherd now had a lot more leisure time.

Apart from patrolling through the Camera Falcon, his daily work was mainly to purchase Remnant Souls and various materials and tools.

These two tasks were also quite troublesome and fragmented. 𝒻𝘳𝓮ℯ𝑤𝘦𝒷𝓷𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Isloa once suggested that he should have a secretary, Sofia or Daisy could take up the role but Lord Shepherd stubbornly refused.

In reality, having an assistant would indeed be nice.

Many lords indeed have a large team in reality, but…

Staff were scarce in Tianyuan Territory and to keep talents like Sofia by his side would be a waste, it’s better to call them when needed to do menial tasks.

For this reason,

Mu Yuan has opened a course teaching Xuan Country’s Language in the newly constructed primary school located in the residential area.

How can Sofia and the other girls be his secretaries if they don’t even understand Xuan Country’s Language?

When they are out on trading missions, they are mostly dealing with other players.

They can speak the common language, but they must also know Xuan Country’s Language.

“No problem, we’ll learn quickly, Lord-!”

Mu Yuan also believes in this.

Evolution and leveling up might not necessarily make every individual very smart, but it will definitely enhance their logical thinking, learning capacity, and memory.

Therefore, in his little classroom, serious students like Sofia, Daisy quickly learned.

That’s the advantage of talents who excel in both culture and martial arts.

Many awakened elite troops in the territory who understood thinking and rational learning also needed to go to school from time to time to learn knowledge and perfect their thought consciousness.

At first, they learned slowly because they had no foundation and their self-cognition centered only on combat, but…

As soon as they built up their foundation, their learning efficiency would increase rapidly.

“After all, rare three-star quality is a small genius among ordinary people, let alone excellent tier.

“You can’t possibly have an excellent-tier soldiers who can’t memorize a few words, right?”

Chirp-!

A Duo Lai, half-asleep, was swaying back and forth until it fell facedown on the table, awakening with a start.

Seeing the stare from Lord, it tries to hide behind its book and acts cute to get off the hook.

Mu Yuan:”…”

“Double the practice exercises!”

While the territory’s interior was being constantly built, externally, troops after troops were constantly dispatched.

During peacetime, there were four kinds of troops in Tianyuan Territory: exploration troops, hunting troops, transport troops, and defensive troops.

The hunting troops and transport troops were newly established to provide materials for the ‘Sacrificial Black Coffin’.

Under the view of the Camera Falcon, Mu Yuan could see hunting teams scattered in all directions from the east, west, south, and north of Tianyuan Territory, hunting, especially flying monsters,and constantly transporting them back to Tianyuan.

After a day of hunting, the security situation around Tianyuan Territory was significantly improved.

There were times when the hunting teams swept all around and there were very few prey left for the day, forcing the hunting teams to go deeper into the wilderness where it’s more dangerous, and the transit becoming more difficult.

Of course, the main exploration troops led by General Dead Bone are once again delving deep into the wilderness to look for special buildings and exterminate monster tribes.

With the present capabilities of General Dead Bone, even if they encounter the Orochi again, they can handle it with ease.

“Lord, another batch of crops have finished harvesting, their yield is even higher than the last recorded batch, almost six to seven times the regular yield.”

Isloa said.

She was referring to the regular farmlands.

She had previously collected data and made a simple projection estimate, so she could not help but exclaim when comparing it now.

With plenty of grains, there’s money, and there’s no worry that the territory won’t be able to develop.

Mu Yuan was not surprised, “This is the charm of the Flower Fairy. And its potential has not been fully exploited yet, we have to slowly find the crops which are most suitable for the Flower Fairies to level up, and produce the best economic benefits.”

“I see.”

She quickly took note of the instructions, acting like a secretary, and then mentioned, “I suggest not selling the Vitality SpringWater directly, as selling raw materials would yield too little profit and waste too much. I am researching a new formula for the Vitality Potion, which is most suitable for our Tianyuan Territory.

“In the future, we can plant some supplementary materials for the Vitality Potion in our farmlands, produce rare potions and then sell them, there will be more intermediate profits.”

Good!

Isloa is indeed very capable.

She is a true all-rounder with a plethora of skills.

Under the evolution, Isloa is full of energy, her enthusiasm is off the charts.

Lord Shepherd was also very happy, and he also wasn’t idle.

He had already found the township under Pan Shi City according to the approximate map location— Shiling Town, and judged that Tianyuan was still very far from Pan Shi City according to the location of Shiling Town.

It’s not worth it for the newly-formed trading team to trek all the way to Pan Shi City.

At least for selling some common goods, there’s no need to go that far. There are many trading companies stationed in Shiling Town and there is a large flow of players, which is the most suitable place small territories like Tianyuan to sell goods.

Even Shiling Town is several hundred kilometers away from the territory.

Only on Tianyuan Territory, where the troops are very abundant, can a newly risen territory dare to venture into the wilderness for trade.

There are also some officials’ territories nearby.

For example, the newly risen territory ‘Xi Mu Domain’ that rose to power around the same time as him.

But that place didn’t quite meet Mu Yuan’s requirements.

Several kilometers away from Tianyuan Territory, a well-dressed merchant convoy was slowly advancing.

They were all wearing the same white and yellow uniforms, with a pair of yellow wings painted on the front, as if they were ready to fly off with their goods.

Around the players lurked several bulging ‘Rock Beasts’, standing over four meters high, their bodies hung with all kinds of packages.

This was a common three-star stage troops, known for their stamina and weight-bearing abilities.

Around this Rock Beast convoy, dozens of well-equipped troops fanned out, prowling the area and killing any monsters that might emerge.

“It’s strange, there are unusually few monsters in this area.”

“That just shows we haven’t found the wrong place. Indeed, given the surroundings, this is definitely a low-risk area.”

“After we collect the goods from this territory, we can probably head back, right? Staying outside for too long is wearing on my nerves.”

“Hah, we’re almost there.”

The woods in the distance had thinned significantly, with signs of felling. It was clear that the destination was not far off.

In a short while, the caravan was stopped by a dozen warriors clad in black armor.

The leading man began to speak:

“The area ahead is private territory, temporarily closed to all players.”

“We understand, but we are merchants from the Flying Wing, here to purchase some goods from you. Could we perhaps come in for a visit? You must be having a hard time selling the agricultural products from your territory.”

The boss of the caravan, a slightly fat man, squinted his eyes as he spoke.

The reason they chose to rush to various newly-established territories at this time was that they had calculated that new lords would not be able to transport goods out, so they could buy batches of goods at a lower price.

Then resell in places like Shiling Town.

However, the sturdy man Lu Liu still refused. “The territory is off-limits, but as for purchasing…If the price is right, it’s not out of the question. Please wait a moment.”

With that, Lu Liu closed his mouth, standing there like a statue.

Newbie territories normally welcomed caravans like theirs as honored guests. This was the first time they had been turned away.

The slightly fat player was somewhat displeased.

But they didn’t have to wait long before another group of people came from a distance, carrying boxes of goods.

In the lead was a girl in a black outfit. Her face was exquisite, and her eyes gleamed like black gems.

“Are you the lord of this place?”

“No, but the boss has entrusted me with full authority to handle this. We have lots of goods here, it just depends on how much sincerity you can show.”

Sophia, the Black Crow, was in charge of this matter, with Daisy, the White Fox, assisting.

The boss of Flying Wing caravan opened a bag of Jade Crystal Rice. The grains were full and round, like crystals, which were among the best he had ever seen.

This territory had something to offer.

He said, “The quality is just passable, and I can only offer a price of 0.28 soul sands per pound.”

“0.28? If you are so insincere, then you can leave.”

Sophia scoffed, “The market price for this type of Jade Crystal Rice is at least 1.26 soul sands per pound. Isn’t that difference a bit too much?”

“Young people, you should understand how hard it is to be a cross-wilderness merchant. Besides, without us buying, your Jade Crystal Rice would either rot in the territory or you would have to pay a high trans-dimensional fee for transportation. Everyone knows that it isn’t worth it to transport bulk goods across dimensions. If you sell to us, at least you can make some profit.”

He squinted his eyes.

However, the young woman in the black outfit remained expressionless, making a gesture of “as you wish”.

“You have no idea how dangerous it is out there in the wilderness. Without sufficient power, you can’t even take a step.”

“Power? Is this enough?”

Sophia snapped her fingers, and numerous black crows began to circle around her, exuding an immense pressure.

This was the pressure of an elite level 7 warrior with an excellent one-star rank.

The convoy leader was speechless.

The young female player seemed to be even more powerful than him!

It seemed that trying to buy the goods at a low price wouldn’ t work.

The convoy leader and Sophia, along with Daisy, argued for a while, and in the end, thinking that they had come all the way here, they ended up purchasing a batch of Jade Crystal Rice and some supply items.

Wait, they were about to return home, so why buy supply items?

On the return journey, the leader of the caravan couldn’t help but wonder.

The others were somewhat envious.

Envious of the status of the lord players.

“No need to be envious, do you really think lord players can just casually hire veteran players? Not a chance.”

The convoy leader said, “Either the lord here has some big backers, or he has already been hollowed out by the investment conglomerate. And I’m more inclined to the latter.”

After all, the female black crow player was too impressive – someone as outstanding as her wouldn’t serve under a newbie player.

“But boss, I’m more inclined to the former.”

“Go ahead and tell me why.”

“I saw a fluffy fox tail attached to another seemingly strong female player. Would a player who hollowed out a lord normally accessorize with such an item?”

The convoy leader pondered.

The convoy leader fell silent.

The convoy leader couldn’t help but show a grimace as if he had tasted a lemon.

“The lord of this place really knows how to play!!”
