Chapter 95: The Wild Operations of the Survivors

Chapter 95: The Wild Operations of the Survivors

"Hmm? The temperature can be this high even outdoors?"

"Doesn't this mean the furnace has increased the territory's temperature by more than thirty degrees?"

Cao Xing's eyes held joy, because this meant the indoor temperature would be even higher!

At this time, all the territory residents shouted loudly, "Welcome back, Lord!"

They bowed one after another, paying respectful salutes.

Residents of three different races were mixed together, among whom was Xia Yanni, who possessed a tall and voluptuous figure. Her eyes also carried a joyful expression, just like a wife welcoming her husband home.

Cao Xing nodded.

At this time, Juliette, sitting in the bucket of the forklift robot, looked at this territory with curiosity.

She also discovered the magic of this territory, with happy smiles on the faces of all the residents.

Juliette even saw a long-lost sense of relaxation on the faces of her own kin.

This was an expression that had never appeared on the faces of the Tree Spirit Race ever since the Pale Holy Tree was destroyed.

At the same time, Juliette exchanged glances with Nive in the crowd.

The next moment, an expression of pleasant surprise appeared in the eyes of both women.

"Sister!"

"Little Nive!"

Juliette excitedly jumped directly down from the bucket, then rushed to Nive's side.

The two Tree Spirit Race members instantly embraced each other.

"Wuwuwu… That's wonderful, Sister has finally returned. Nive thought she would never see Sister again…"

"Lord Cao Xing saved me. Little Nive, you're amazing."

Their faces were stained with tears of emotion.

Meanwhile, the surrounding residents all wore complex expressions on their faces.

Because they knew Cao Xing had succeeded.

Their Lord, in the dangerous Borealis Mountain Range, had truly brought Nive's sister back.

In everyone's gaze toward Cao Xing, there was a deep sense of respect.

Especially that group of the Tree Spirit Race, who were moved beyond measure.

Then, they all knelt down in prostration.

"Thank you, benevolent Lord. The Tree Spirit Race will forever remember your grace."

Including little Nive nearby, who also knelt down along with Juliette.

At the same time, a bunch of system prompts appeared by Cao Xing's ears.

[Your territory member: Nive has been moved by your actions. Loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 93]

[Your territory member: Valerie has been moved by your actions. Loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 85]

[Your territory member…]

This wave directly raised the loyalty of all Tree Spirit Race members to above 85.

It was almost surpassing Dahua and the others!

Joy welled up in Cao Xing's heart, and he waved his hand, saying, "Rise."

"As I said before, once you join my territory, you are a member of us. Your family is also my family."

"As long as everyone contributes their own strength and wholeheartedly develops the territory, you can rest assured about everything else."

Cao Xing's words were very concise, but falling into the ears of these residents, it was like a stabilizing divine needle, making everyone's sense of security burst to the maximum.

In this world, if one didn't live in those big cities, a sense of security was truly a very luxurious thing.

The nearby resident Cao Yi took the lead in saying, "Praise the benevolent Lord; your mighty power shelters us."

The other residents also shouted one after another, "Praise the benevolent Lord!!"

Cao Xing nodded.

Then, he glanced at the attributes of the large furnace in the territory.

[Furnace: Level 11]

[Furnace Effect: Can increase the temperature of a 1000-meter diameter area by 25 ~ 35 ℃]

[Consumption]: 60 minutes / 120 wood or 60 minutes / 30 coal.

[Materials required for the next level]: Stone * 500, Wood 300, Iron * 120, Copper * 30, Primary Elemental Spar * 10

(Introduction: A furnace capable of providing a massive heat source. With it, you already possess the ability to survive in this frigid world.)

Cao Xing felt a wave of joy in his heart.

"Good, good, good! Next is to upgrade to level 16 to become a large furnace, level 21 to become an Energy Station, and level 26 to become a Super Energy Station!"

"By then, even if we encounter blizzard weather, my territory can be as warm as spring!"

The upgrade of the furnace could be called a qualitative change.

He was even more filled with expectations for the development prospects of the territory.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then said, "Da Zhuang, report today's progress."

Da Zhuang walked over excitedly and said, "Lord, according to your request, we have already upgraded the bonfire to a furnace."

"And we have built the Elemental Arrow Tower, watchtowers, and a lighthouse."

"In addition, we have also built a tavern, but no staff has been arranged for it yet."

"And the Frost Archer training barracks you ordered have also been completed."

Da Zhuang finished speaking in one breath.

Cao Xing was also very satisfied.

Then resident Cao Yi also reported, "Lord, the railway laying for the mine two kilometers away has been completed, and the iron ores you asked me to sort have also been completely sorted."

Cao Xing nodded. "Well done, Cao Yi."

"Tomorrow, take people to upgrade the Ore Processing Plant, Blacksmith Shop, and Tailor Shop all to Level 2. If our territory wants to develop, we need higher-level materials."

"Yes, respected Lord."

Cao Xing looked again at that group of the Tree Spirit Race, "Valerie."

That mature-looking Tree Spirit Race woman walked over, "Lord, please give your orders."

Cao Xing said, "We have new members again. Build new shelters for them. Also that Yansky horse, lead it into the robot's room first."

"Yes, respected Lord."

Valerie walked over and led the horse away.

Meanwhile, Sanzhuang of the Arctic People had long noticed the thing covered with black cloth on that carriage.

He curiously asked, "Lord, what is on this carriage behind you?"

Cao Xing smiled mysteriously, "Go take a look, Sanzhuang."

Upon hearing this, Sanzhuang immediately stretched his short legs and ran over.

Then, he lifted the black cloth and immediately cried out in exclamation, "Oh my god! It's food! It's a whole cart of food!!!"

Hearing this, the other Arctic People also looked startled and gathered around one after another.

Sizhuang said with surprise in his eyes, "This is… fine wheat, and ground wheat flour… These are rice, so much!"

"Earth Mother God above, I have never seen so much food in my life. This is enough for us Arctic People to eat for a year!"

Just as Sizhuang finished speaking, he was slapped 'pa' by Sanzhuang. "Sizhuang, stop talking nonsense! This is the Lord's food, only he has the right to allocate it!"

Sizhuang also realized he had spoken wrongly, and hurriedly knelt prostrate on the ground, respectfully saying, "Lord, Sizhuang spoke wrongly, please punish Sizhuang!"

The other Arctic People also knelt prostrate, feeling extremely panicked.

Cao Xing chuckled, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. These food items were bought back precisely to be eaten by our own people."

"Sanzhuang, Sizhuang, move these food grains into the basement and store them all."

Seeing that Cao Xing did not punish them, but instead let them move the food, this group of Arctic People exchanged glances, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.

"Yes, respected Lord!"

The eight Arctic People immediately stood up and busied themselves.

Watching that group of Arctic People carrying sacks of food into the cellar one by one, the others also realized how many supplies Cao Xing and the others had brought back this time.

Not to mention these indigenous residents, even if other Survivors saw it, they would excitedly pounce forward and loot wildly.

The Tree Spirit Race members folded their hands together, seemingly performing some kind of prayer.

Seeing that the sky was growing increasingly dim, Cao Xing called Dahua over.

Then he handed all the [Goat Milk], [Ceviche], and [Yak Meat], as well as some ordinary meat harvested earlier, over to Dahua.

Cao Xing said directly, "Use these things to cook a dinner for our members. Have Da Zhuang send people to move any remaining unused ingredients into the cellar for storage."

Dahua looked at the dazzling array of rarely seen foods in her arms, a strong sense of surprise appearing in her eyes.

She discovered that her Lord was simply omnipotent; every time he went out, he could bring back a massive amount of supplies.

"Lord, you are like a squirrel in the snow, favored by the Goddess of Luck."

Cao Xing gave a huff of laughter. What kind of strange metaphor was this?

He smiled and let Dahua go prepare dinner.

Then, he looked at Xia Yanni and Tong Chuchu wearing wolfskin coats nearby.

At this moment, Xia Yanni's tall and meaty legs were tightly pressed together. Every time she made eye contact with Cao Xing, she would shyly lower her head.

Compared to the blazing passion of the proprietress Elena, Xia Yanni was more like a tender, dripping red rose hidden among flowers, waiting for someone to discover her charm.

"Let's go, there is something I need to instruct you on."

Words falling, they entered the Tailor Shop together.

Under the gaze of the mother and daughter, Cao Xing took out a large amount of rabbit skin from his backpack.

Several hundred pieces of [Snow and Ice Bomb Rabbit Fur] piled directly into a small mountain.

Then, Cao Xing took out the cloth, snow wolf skin, and deer skin picked up during the day from his backpack.

Dozens of rolled-up bolts of cloth, each about 20 meters long, piled into a small mountain once again.

Xia Yanni's small mouth parted slightly in surprise, "This… this much?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yeah, keep those precious silk cloths for now. I'll use them later when I find higher-grade fur."

"Those linen cloths and wool cloths can be made into base layers and sewn together with rabbit fur for a better warmth-retention effect."

"Our territory members are increasing more and more, and we also need to make some quilts, bedsheets, and other items for them."

"These past few days, I might have to trouble you."

Hearing this, Xia Yanni hurriedly shook her head and said, "No… it's nothing…"

"We don't have much to do in the territory either… We feel a bit bad in our hearts…"

Cao Xing nodded, "In a moment I'll go make a storage box and have Da Zhuang move it in. Then you can put all these furs and cloths into the storage box."

Xia Yanni let out a soft "Mn."

At this time, Cao Xing seemed to remember something, "Right, what classes did you and Chuchu choose?"

Although Cao Xing didn't plan to let them participate in combat, because of the [Eternal Power] talent, as long as they could buff everyone, they could level up just lying at home.

And in this game, every class had one or two buff skills, though not as many as classes like the Aurora Knight.

Before Xia Yanni could answer, Tong Chuchu on the side spoke up, "Big Brother, the class I chose is Frost Iron Mechanic, and Mom is a Snowfield Hunter."

Cao Xing nodded.

The Snowfield Hunter class had a [Hunter Perception] in the early stage, which could increase precision by 10%.

As for the Frost Iron Mechanic, it was a bit troublesome; it wouldn't have a [Mecha Spirit Possession] skill until the later stages.

In the early stage, it only had [Firepower Amplification], which could increase attack power and range for allies.

But this skill was very rare, and Cao Xing wasn't sure if he could find it on the market.

"Alright, I understand."

After finishing, Cao Xing left two bottles of yak milk and then left the Tailor Shop.

Night fell. Under the illumination of the lighthouse, Cao Xing's territory remained bright.

At this time, Dahua was still preparing dinner, and it would be a while before dinner was served.

Cao Xing pondered, "Next, I need to go to the market to trade for some supplies."

Today he harvested quite a lot of resources, and these were urgently needed by many current players. Cao Xing could gain huge profits from them.

He first checked the World Channel.

Lü Tao: "Wuhu! Brothers, today I found a village in the wild. The village chief invited me to eat at his house. As a result, at the dinner table, her daughter fancied me, but I like the village chief better. What should I do?"

Nurhabi: "A batch of wandering merchants also came outside my territory. He asked me what goods I had to trade and said he accepted anything. I directly sold that group of Arctic People in exchange for several hundred units of food, which is enough for our family to eat for many days, hahaha!"

Fujikawa Shunma: "The method upstairs is well done. Today, a batch of refugees also came to my territory, asking me to take them in. My territory happened to run out of food, so I killed them all and used them as reserve rations."

Kim Chanyub: "Shibal! Which bastard said you can further develop with territory residents? Today I prepared to favor a refugee I took in, but before I even laid hands on her, that bitch started screaming and shouting, calling all the other refugees over, and even picked up weapons ready to deal with me together. These unruly commoners! So pisses me off!"

Rostin: "Everyone, in the eyes of those indigenous people, our territory seems to be something very rare. I directly sold the territory and exchanged it for a house in Aihui City. Hahaha, I no longer have to worry about the food of those Arctic People, nor worry about the territory being invaded by monsters!"

…

Seeing the all sorts of operations by those Survivors on the World Channel, Cao Xing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

It was a bit too outrageous.

However, it could also be seen that everyone had integrated into this world, and they also discovered that these indigenous people were living, breathing humans, each with their own joys, angers, sorrows, and joys.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing opened the 174 Regional Channel.

The chat in here was much more normal.

Tan Zegang: "Trouble, brothers. Today I just upgraded the Arctic People Cabin to Level 2 and summoned 8 Arctic People in one breath. I didn't expect these guys to be such big eaters. One person needs to eat five units of food a day, so eight people need 40. Our family is almost out of food; where would we have food to give them?"
