[Ding, congratulations to the Explorer for successfully occupying a small resource point. Each cycle you can harvest 500 units of food, 500 units of wood, 500 units of iron ore, 500 units of stone, and 50 units of the special resource, silver]
[Silver: A scarce material for forging. It is one of the essential materials for crafting runes]
Lin Rui wasn't quite sure how to craft runes yet. However, adding a special product to the territory was undoubtedly a good thing.
Lin Rui, in high spirits, led a group of knights back to the city hall, planning to fill his stomach before opening the ruins in the afternoon.
There weren't any taverns or restaurants in the territory yet, so the settlers lit some bonfires in an open space. Lanxin led a few village women to wash large chunks of fresh and tender snake meat with clear spring water, while the knights brought a flat marble slab, resting it on stones above the bonfire.
After heating the flat marble until it was sizzling hot, they placed the cleaned fresh meat on top, grilling both sides. Soon the snake meat sizzled, searing with dripping hot oil, turning a golden brown and becoming tender with an enticing aroma. Lin Rui's stomach, hungry for a day and night, couldn't help but growl.
Roger, an excellent lackey, was the first to insert a cooked piece of snake meat with a wooden stick and present it to Lin Rui, saying, "My Lord, consider it a taste of rustic charm, try this piece of natural roast."
Lin Rui immediately took a bite; the hot snake meat made him gasp, yet he couldn't bear to spit it out. It was the best roast he had ever tasted! Rich but not greasy, aromatic and tender, key was the savory roast flavor combined with the juicy meat warmed his whole body, making every pore feel delightfully open.
[Ding, the Explorer consumed Magical Beast meat containing Spiritual Power, receiving a slight enhancement in Physique and Spiritual Power.]
Slight enhancement, Lin Rui checked his attribute panel, and the attribute points hadn't moved. But Lin Rui didn't mind, one must not let good food go to waste! It's enough if it's delicious. Besides, it was a free chance to experience the fun of wilderness survival.
[Ding, settlers of the Explorer consumed Magical Beast spirit meat, increasing happiness, all loyalty +1]
While eating roast meat, Lin Rui opened the communication channel to see what other Explorers were saying. These fools were all talented in their own ways, and their conversation was delightful, making him like them a lot.
Ye: "Help! I'm already puking from being bullied by the Thorn Beast at the city hall. I hit it and lost more blood than it did! This is even more unsolvable than advanced mathematics!"
My Wife You Nai: "Stuck in the cellar, triple disabled, my last consciousness is communicating with you."
I Want to Go Home: "Please, please, let me go home, I don't want to be here, my leg is broken, blood keeps flowing, I'm about to die..."
Is Anyone There?: "Boo hoo, I don't want to die, please, some kind-hearted person save me."
Person in the Tower · Matthews: "Haha, I've already activated the Lord status. A group of refugees willingly came to rely on me, reaching the peak of my life soon!"
Abnormal Human Researcher · Divine Sacrifice: "You call that the peak of life? I recruited refugees including two cute lolis, my loli nurturing plan is on!"
Zhang San: Iron Law: "In youth, I didn't know the value of rich ladies, mistakenly treating lolis as treasures. No more words, going to cling to a thigh."
Sweet Sweet Heart: "Excuse me, any contact info for rich ladies? Hoping for an expert's guidance."
Inspector Li Feng: Dawn: "Attention, all citizens, I am a senior inspector from Sea City, badge number 3546512. This world is extremely dangerous, all citizens must ensure their own safety, and the task of activating the Lord status doesn't force you to kill a Tier One Magical Beast, successfully luring it away counts as task completion. If you want to try to kill, you can use the cellar's safe zone feature to repeatedly probe."
Fu Sansui: Mai Sui: "Hello, officer, there's a group of bandits here, can I kill them all?"
Always 18 Years Old Sends a Heart: "!! Is this a boss? Using the cutest tone to say the harshest words!"
Health Care Master: Lishi: "Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke, indeed this is a madman's paradise, and a hell for honest folks like me."
Honest Man Here: "Who's calling me? Finally, am I getting a beautiful wife divided to me?? I've been waiting thirty years."
Lin Rui was stunned by this Fu Sansui, the image of a sickly sweet kawaii girl vividly appearing. Asking the officer before killing anyone! Xiu'er, is that you? It's likely that the Federation police officers watching the world channel were being outdone by her.
Lin Rui immediately opened the input panel, thinking of worshiping for a few lines. However, he recalled the communication on the civilization channel cost money, so he immediately checked if the world channel was the same. Seeing this, Lin Rui promptly closed the chat panel. Speaking out loud? Not in this lifetime. Unless, it was to show off!
Speaking in the world channel costs 100 Realm Coins each time! Highway robbery, what kind of golden advice is this?
Then Lin Rui opened the regional channel, which didn't charge money. You could only speak for free once a day, but it was still lively, no less than the world channel.
Namo Gatling Bodhisattva: "Any bosses to help me complete a task? I've been beaten to the point I can't take care of myself."
Master of Titans: "Same here. I've been skinned and broken-legged, if I can't pass the task, I'll have to rely on selling crutches for a living for the rest of my life."
Little Ancestor: "It's so scary here, I want to go home! Lin Yuan, you heartless person, if you're not in front of me today, we're breaking up!"
Xiao Ke'er: "Sister, I'm with you! Scumbag! All scumbags! A few men, not a single one reliable, saying they'd be good to me for life. Such terrifying Magical Beasts in front of me, and not one has appeared until now. Scumbags!"
