Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Market Construction Blueprint

The unknown is the most captivating.

Zong Shen approached the treasure chest and gently touched it.

He saw the prompt [Click to open] appear before him.

Without hesitation, he clicked to open.

The treasure chest slowly opened.

Several reward light clusters emerged.

[Successfully opened Black Iron Treasure Chest]

[Market Construction Blueprint ×1]

[Refined Wheat Bread ×10]

[Crafted Rum ×10]

[Sharp German Sword ×1]

[Wooden Shield Blueprint ×1]

In total, five rewards.

Two of them are food.

The other two are blueprints, one for building, one for manufacturing.

And the last one is a longsword.

Zong Shen first picked up the longsword and examined it.

[Sharp German Sword]

[One-Handed/Two-Handed]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Slashing Damage: 29/33 (One-Handed/Two-Handed)]

[Piercing Damage: 23]

[Attack Range: 80]

[Attack Speed:+8%]

[Durability: 120]

[Strength Requirement: 8]

Goodness, this is far better than the rusted sword of broken quality Zong Shen was holding, not only can it be used one-handed, but it can also be used as a two-handed sword.

He immediately put away the rusted sword and replaced it with the Sharp German Sword.

Then he proceeded with his routine inspection.

[Blueprint for Wooden Shield]

[Can be used to manufacture simple wooden shields]

[Simple Wooden Shield]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Shield Defense: 35]

[Blocking Chance: 25%]

[Manufacturing Requirements: Wood ×6, Ma ×2]

[Manufacturing Time: 10m]

Attributes are very basic and it doesn’t even compare to the broken quality kite shield that Zong Shen has.

However, it’s simple to make, and doesn’t require many materials; he may consider manufacturing a few to protect the farmers as transitional equipment.

[Refined Wheat Bread]

[Delicious Refined Wheat Bread]

[Effect: Restores 50 points of Hunger Level]

(It’s decent food, and would be even better with milk)

...

[Crafted Rum]

[Exquisite Rum]

[Effect: Attack +10%, Defense -20%, Duration 30m]

(Rum brewed with multiple processes, give a dwarf a cup and you can earn his friendship)

Food is one of the resources currently scarce for Zong Shen.

Especially now that the territory’s population is rapidly increasing.

Food is a particularly critical basic resource guarantee.

Next is the water source.

Water, food, safety.

Are the most fundamental elements for survival.

You have to know his main purpose for coming out this time is to find a water source.

However, it doesn’t matter, he plans to inquire about the strategy on the way back later.

He placed all four reward items into the storage grid.

Next, only a building blueprint remains.

[Market Construction Blueprint ×1]

[Quality: Ordinary (White)]

[Requirements: Wood ×20, Iron ×8, Hemp Rope ×3, Trading Market Construction Blueprint ×1]

[Construction Time: 1h36m (Reduced by 20% through Engineering)]

[Occupied Area: 10 square meters]

[Durability Value: 500]

[Armor Value: 10]

[Market: Can conduct trade with other lords, current level can hang up to three items for sale simultaneously]

The blueprint for the market has been revealed, and the resources required for construction aren’t much, later he can trade with other lords who have also built markets.

He prepared all the rewards properly.

Zong Shen stood up and looked at the now emptied treasure chest.

[Black Iron Treasure Chest]

[Click to Disassemble]

”Disassemble.”

[Acquired Iron ×10]

Another wave of resources in his grasp.

”Does this camp have any other resources left?”

Zong Shen asked in his mind.

(You’re practically a passing horde, without my guidance you would still strip everything clean)

Seeing this seemingly flattering but disguised critique, Zong Shen rolled his eyes.

”All right, then the next question.”

”Where is a drinkable water source, as close to the camp as possible!”

(This isn’t a difficult question, in fact, if you head north from your territory, within three miles there’s a small creek that’s clear and safe, head southwest for forty-seven miles there’s a lake but it’s occupied by some ill-tempered guys, continue southward from this camp for fifty-two miles there’s a marsh that’s neither clear nor safe)

The strategy provided several choices at once.

Zong Shen checked briefly and found that there was indeed a small creek not far from the territory.

It seems that returning to the territory is the most reliable option.

”Are there any treasures or precious resources worth searching for around this camp?”

(Below the camp is a large Azshara ruin, there are some interesting things there, but the project is large, consider coming here to excavate when you have enough manpower)

(Thirteen miles west of the camp is a small forest, with a Silver Treasure Chest inside, but there are several strong Bear Monsters)

(Walk out of the camp to the right, walk a hundred steps and dig downward, you’ll find some small surprises)

The strategy instantly provided three suggestions.

With the guide module on hand, Zong Shen eagerly wanted to operate an excavator.

Transform into a true excavation enthusiast.

Where to dig.

One dig one sack.

Less talk.

Out of the three options, the only one Zong Shen could tackle was the small surprise a hundred steps to the right out of the camp.

The other two options aren’t something Zong Shen can tackle alone.

Thus, he followed the suggested position, walked out of the camp, and proceeded 100 steps to the right.

He struck the ground with a pickaxe.

He surprisingly unearthed a leather wallet.

Zong Shen picked up the wallet.

He focused his gaze.

[Traveler’s Wallet]

[Money +430]

Indeed, truly a small surprise.

Speaking of it, since choosing his origin until now, he had gotten some ”money.”

But so far, he hasn’t discovered where exactly this money should be used.

Probably only when contacting the indigenous forces of this continent can it be used.

He stored the money safely.

Money does not take up storage grid space.

It has a separate storage space.

But once taken out and materialized, it becomes copper plates.

Zong Shen glanced at the watch ⌚ on his wrist.

This is the only item that landed with him.

The time is already past three in the afternoon.

It’s better to hurry back.

Once the water source is collected, it’ll be dark.

Next is to construct some basic buildings.

When the Wolf Cavalry returns, see if Korby discovered anything valuable on this expedition.

Tomorrow, there will be eleven farmers collecting simultaneously.

Zong Shen mounted the Old Traveling Horse and headed back to the territory.

He pondered about the upcoming arrangements and plans.

This is the first day of landing!

It seems to have been quite satisfying.

Not only does he possess food and water.

He also gained two powerful soldiers and eight farmers.

As the population increases, the available space of 230 square meters in the Lord’s Courtyard seems very limited.

It looks like tomorrow or the day after, he will need to expand the territory once.

With his current strength, he should be able to deal with random hostile targets within a five-kilometer radius.
