[Basic Life Manual]
[After use, increase 20 points of Life Value]
Zong Shen didn’t hesitate much and chose to use it.
With the Strength and Life Value boosts from the [Ghoul Ring], Zong Shen’s Life Value directly reached 273 points.
This Life Value can already rival that of the Wolf Cavalry themselves.
Then Zong Shen flipped his hand and took out a round badge engraved with a roaring Giant Bear.
[Wild Mark]
[After use, summon three level 20 Giant Bears, lasts 5 minutes, can only be used once]
A one-time summoning type item.
Also a very nice item.
It can be used at a critical time!
Zong Shen put the [Wild Mark] away.
Then, he took out a cluster of faint green light and a slightly smaller cluster of faint blue light, and began to examine them carefully.
[Complete Green Soul]
[After use, 100% chance to upgrade a soldier’s or farmer’s Talent from ordinary white to excellent green]
[Incomplete Blue Soul]
[After use, 40% chance to upgrade a soldier’s or farmer’s Talent from excellent green to outstanding blue]
Surprisingly, these items can enhance Talent.
These were all items that Zong Shen obtained from killing those powerful monsters.
Among them, there were two clusters of [Complete Green Soul] and only one cluster of [Incomplete Blue Soul].
Zong Shen planned to go back to the Territory first and then consider who to use them on.
The Wolf Cavalry and Tiezhu are all of ordinary Talent and can be upgraded.
Additionally, there are a few [Soldier Enhancement Pearls] that can be rewarded and quickly turned into combat power.
As Zong Shen rode his horse, he thought about how to arrange and use these items.
He was quite leisurely.
Combat and exploration are indeed excellent ways to enhance strength.
He put away these clusters of soul lights.
And took out the last few items.
[Azshara’s Standard Short Sword]
[One-Handed]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Slashing Damage: 21]
[Piercing Damage: 15]
[Attack Range: 60]
[Attack Speed: +12%]
[Durability: 100]
[Strength Requirement: 6]
(Azshara’s Standard Short Sword, dusty from years, slightly decayed)
Four white short sword weapons, from the dungeon living area, Zong Shen intended to keep them as reserves.
In the future, when the population increases, training soldiers by oneself will be necessary. These white military supplies left in the Territory will be just right as armaments.
[Basic Fire Rune]
[Contains Fire Magic Power, a common magical material for buildings and forging]
[Basic Wood Rune]
[Contains Wood Magic Power, a common magical material for buildings and forging]
Runes and Elemental Crystals are similar, both are magical materials.
They can exert different effects corresponding to their attributes.
[Simple Leather Armor Manufacturing Blueprint]
[After use, the ability to manufacture Simple Leather Armor]
[Simple Leather Armor]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Body Defense: 16]
[Durability: 120]
[Requirements for Manufacturing: Complete Hide×1, Hemp Rope×3]
[Manufacturing Time: 12 minutes]
The attributes are decent, better than the ragged leather short sleeves Zong Shen originally had.
Zong Shen has already learned this blueprint.
Plus the previous [Simple Wooden Shield] blueprint.
He is now able to manufacture the most basic white armor.
The last item is a book.
A very heavy book.
The cover is brown leather paper.
On it is written in large letters the title "Marching Strategy"!
[Book: Marching Strategy]
[Wisdom Requirement: 8]
[Reading Time: 120 hours (can be accumulated)]
[Reading Effect: Wisdom +4, Charm +2, Agility +1]
[Each person can only fully read it once and enjoy the attribute enhancement from reading once]
When Zong Shen saw this effect, he was stunned.
True Knowledge is Power.
Moreover, this book can be read by everyone.
As long as you fully read it for 120 hours, you can gain attribute enhancement.
Although it mainly increases Wisdom and Charm, it is still quite remarkable.
In the future, if conditions permit, it would be a good idea to set up a library.
Thinking about it all the way, proceeding forward, an hour passed unknowingly.
The Dwarf Uncle and Tiezhu had good walking pace.
Even as the Old Traveling Horse trotted the entire way.
They could keep up.
No one fell behind, and no one complained of fatigue.
Now, Zong Shen could already see his Territorial courtyard from afar through the open grassland.
The farmers were sitting in the grass hut outside the courtyard resting.
Each person holding a piece of roasted meat in hand.
Luna was riding a Black Panther, diligently patrolling the surroundings.
At this time, she also saw Zong Shen and his party, waved at him.
Zong Shen also waved back in greeting.
Though he had only been out for half a day, it felt as if he had been away for a long time.
A few minutes later.
The three arrived outside the Territory.
The Wolf Cavalry, with two mages and five farmers in tow, could only advance slowly. With a distance of over a hundred miles, they would still need to walk for several more hours.
As soon as Zong Shen returned, the farmers stood up.
Bowed in greeting.
"Lord, you have worked hard!"
Zong Shen nodded with a smile.
Dismounted the horse.
Tied the Old Traveling Horse at the entrance.
Quickly walked into the courtyard.
Ready to hand over the materials.
After these two days of gathering and exploration.
The forty grids of the [Level 1 Territory Storage Box] appeared to be stretched to their limits.
However, upgrading the Territory Storage Box does not require a blueprint.
Zong Shen spent some resources and directly upgraded it to [Level 2 Territory Storage Box].
The capacity became 80 grids.
Zong Shen organized the materials.
[Money: 1380]
[Wood×421]
[Stone×242]
[Iron×157]
[Hemp×194]
[Secret Silver×32]
[Copper×30]
[Basic Elemental Crystal×12]
[High-level Magic Pattern Stone×187]
[Basic Fire Rune×1]
[Refined Forging Alloy×2]
[Basic Wood Rune×2]
[Refined Wheat Bread×14]
[Crafted Rum×10]
[Exquisite Camel Meat×15]
[Fresh Wolf Meat×10]
[Roughly Roasted Wolf Meat×3]
[Roughly Roasted Wild Boar Meat×6]
This stockpile of materials can be considered extremely plentiful.
And this is just the basic material stockpile.
Not to mention various bones and hides as forging raw materials,
as well as various items with different effects.
Zong Shen looked at the full warehouse of materials and felt a sense of security within his heart.
He walked out of the courtyard.
Prepared to construct the blueprints at hand.
At this moment, Luna came over.
When she saw the Dwarf Uncle, her eyebrows furrowed, then her expression changed, and soon returned to normal.
Zong Shen saw all her expressions.
It is said in legend that the Elf Race has always had a tense relationship with the Dwarf Race.
Now it seems to be true.
Copperbeard·Wine Fire, the Dwarf Uncle, holding a jug of wine, found a quiet corner next to the courtyard wall and happily started drinking.
Without needing any snacks to go with the wine.
Drinking like drinking water, a true old wine lover.
Luna no longer paid attention to the Dwarf Uncle but dismounted from the Black Panther and walked up to Zong Shen.
