Chapter 686: Chapter 240: Peerless Beauty (10,000 Words) Part 5

Mitchell revealed a knowing smile: "Master Mica..."

"I thought you weren’t coming."

...

The following morning.

Lynn, sleeping on the wooden bed in the tent, was awakened by the flapping of wings from birds in the mountain woods.

After a simple wash, Lynn stepped out of the tent.

The campfire in the center of the camp, under the guard’s watch, had burned all night long.

Not only was the campfire needed for illumination and dispersing the dampness, but also to ward off unknown beasts from the primordial forest!

Red, sitting by the campfire, saw Lynn and quickly stood up.

"Master, breakfast is ready."

Lynn acknowledged.

After the cook brought over a simple breakfast and he had finished eating,

Lynn immediately ordered the guards to pack up the tents and continue on.

As they passed by the natural soda mines and saltpeter caves, dozens of workers who were digging there jumped in surprise upon seeing Lynn and his entourage.

After all, the workers digging here were only a few of them.

They would go out using the Noel ship, transporting the mined soda and saltpeter back.

Almost no one else ever came here again.

However.

Upon recognizing their Master Lynn, admiration and reverence appeared on their faces.

They were originally just slaves.

Even though the digging work they were engaged in now was very tiring,

as long as they worked until dusk, they could finish.

It was their Master Lynn here who allowed them a full meal.

In the respectful calls of the digging workers, Lynn nodded in response.

His gaze swept around, and he couldn’t help but frown.

There were eighty workers responsible for digging natural soda and saltpeter.

Forty were in charge of digging for soda, forty for collecting saltpeter.

But the living conditions here were extremely limited.

Because the distance to the town was too far, no red brick houses had been built here yet.

They could only live in simple wooden huts.

Using makeshift kitchens to cook food.

The living conditions of the digging workers must be improved as soon as possible.

Regardless of the current soda and saltpeter digging, or the other three major minerals.

Even if these places were used as sites for exiling and punishing misbehaving townsmen,

at the very least, their basic living conditions of clothing, food, shelter, and transport must be ensured.

He had no intention of allowing the digging workers’ impoverished living conditions to cause envy of the townsmen’s lives back in the town.

Leading eventually to all digging workers uniting in a rebellion war.

The most critical thing is.

Without providing good living conditions for the townsmen, their digging efficiency would lag! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

However.

Lynn thought, even if he wanted to change their living conditions,

he would have to wait until the expansion of the red brick houses in the town was completed.

Only then could he free up six thousand laborers!

Surveying around, he let the workers continue digging.

Lynn, along with Red and his entourage, left the dig site under the gaze of the digging workers.

He had to continue deeper, continue exploring.

But Lynn noticed.

Even though he took Red and the others in directions they had never gone before,

on the [Ore Vein Detector], there was still no indication of any ore veins detected.

Lynn felt the two hundred meter mineral detection range might be somewhat too narrow.

Fortunately.

While searching for mineral detection, Lynn could continue to grind his [Hunting] skills through hunting.

[Hunting Experience +1]

[Hunting Experience +1]

[Hunting Experience +1]

...

Whew!

When Lynn released the arrow between his fingers, the Triangular Armor-Piercing Arrow whistled through the air, shooting out violently ahead.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow traveled over forty meters, accurately hitting a squirrel jumping on the tree trunk.

Under the power of the fully drawn longbow, the squirrel fell dead instantly without any pain.

Falling from the tree onto a patch of dead leaves.

Two guards, faces full of admiration, quickly stepped towards the dead leaves.

Searching for the prey Master Lynn had hunted.

Lynn nodded with satisfaction.

As he continued grinding his [Hunting] skills, his archery levels steadily improved.

Moreover.

He gained additional tracking and scouting abilities of a hunter, survival abilities in the wild, and adaptability to environments in his mind.

At this moment, a panel of text appeared in front of Lynn’s eyes.

[Your hunting has upgraded to Level 3, unlocked: Battlefield Sand Table]

[Reward acquired: Talent Duplication Book ×1]

Looking at the panel in front of him, Lynn’s eyebrows lifted.

After constant shooting and hunting over this period,

the [Hunting] skill had finally leveled up to level three!

A thought crossed his mind, and Lynn opened the [Heavenly Artifacts] panel, clicked on the [Battlefield Sand Table] interface, and began to peruse.

[Battlefield Sand Table]: Restores realistic terrain, allowing for the arrangement of current soldier size phantoms for simulation battles.

Each simulation battle consumes: 100 Energy Stones

...

Different from the [Holographic Map].

At this moment in his view, there were battle markers with ’crossed swords’ icons.

The battle marker closest to his territory was the Frank Manor.

Beyond Frank Manor lay darkness.

Even the nearest Battle of Morgan Town marker was absent.

Lynn speculated that perhaps only the locations he had visited or seen would be unlocked on the [Battlefield Sand Table].

He clicked on the Frank Manor battle icon.

The building contours of Frank Manor Castle, the internal corridors and rooms, underground storerooms, and the terrain around the castle all appeared before him.
