Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Mining Plan, Tiroka’s Bear Armor

Zong Shen now feels a bit lofty; after becoming wealthy, he’s not as keen on Silver Treasure Chests.

His mindset has become much calmer. This trip to the Mining Area has indeed made Zong Shen immensely rich.

He successfully wiped out the Spider Web Monster Race, gained plenty of equipment, and in this Mining Area, he can act with impunity, freely scavenging the remaining resources and treasures.

He first went to the stone table, where the crystal wine glasses were scattered askew, obviously indicating that those who sat here in this secret chamber for discussions ultimately had to leave in a hurry.

On the table, there was also a crystal open wine bottle, whose contents had fully evaporated, leaving only some blackish residue.

Zong Shen casually gathered these wine glasses and the open wine bottle, handed them to Korby. Although these wine glasses weren’t valuable items, their designs were quite exquisite.

In his territory, it seems there is everything at first glance, but all items are rather rough, including the tableware. Taking these wine glasses back to clean them up would still be nice.

As a frugal Lord managing his household, he wouldn’t miss anything he could take.

As the saying goes, saving penny by penny for marriage, not wasting any resources is the essential quality of a competent Lord.

After tidying up the wine glasses, Zong Shen turned his gaze to the stack of documents and maps.

His hand just touched them when the topmost documents crumbled like wall flakes.

Crispy and collapsible, they disintegrated into many pieces, leaving only one map preserved.

This map was indeed the Mining Area Map of Azshara, more detailed than the one left by Baron Bezos, definitely a top-secret level Mining Area Map.

Because of special treatment, this map didn’t rot. From the map, one can see the extensive mining areas below, some branches even connecting to Azshara’s deep underground sewer network. To the north, it extends beneath the mountains, which Zong Shen knows will connect to the Mountain Fortress built at the end of the great war.

The map’s annotations are very detailed, a confidential map, but it is of no use to Zong Shen. He needs everything, except maps; these will only be handed to a hero handling the Mining Area in the future for reference.

However, some information in it is worth noting; it marks the locations of several cluster mines.

This indeed is a large Iron Mine, and also a high-energy cluster mining area, with several scattered mines including Magic Energy Crystal, secret silver, copper, refined gold, and a small Gemstone Mining Area, a large composite vein.

The main ore is iron, while various high-energy cluster mines are auxiliary, forming a composite mining area.

It once provided various mineral raw materials for the tens of thousands of troops of the Elf United Kingdom.

It was also the largest Iron Mining Area within Azshara, one of the Three Major Elf Cities in the United Kingdom, not only close to the urban area but also easy to mine.

In any aspect, this Mining Area is the most important resource wealth nearby.

Therefore, Zong Shen listed it as an important part of his strategic plan and will definitely assign a Heroic Level character to station here in the future.

Once the mine resumes production, it will be a hen laying golden eggs, endlessly producing various minerals, meeting the developmental needs of the territory and used as an advantageous resource for trade.

Zong Shen already has an edge; once the powers of the lords in this area further improve, many of them will surely discover this place. Hence, Zong Shen plans to build defensive works after the Burrow Challenge and prepare for mining.

He can use the Burden-Bearer Mecha to ensure transportation and communication between the territory and the mine, while establishing a regular patrol team to commute between the mine and the territory.

Mining requires sufficient manpower, so Zong Shen aims to recruit a Kobold Miner team and dispatch it to specialize in quarrying and mining in the mine.

Besides Kobolds, capturing some Goblin slaves is also a consideration, as there is a Goblin Tribe nearby.

The territory’s farmers will focus on farming, lumbering, and harvesting flax.

Stone as a mining byproduct is abundant once the mining begins.

This is Zong Shen’s mining plan, an essential part of the territory’s future expansion strategy.

In this vast continent, all lords start destitute from scratch, and initially, seizing relics and resources is more important than seizing land.

All these plans have been prepared by Zong Shen for a long time, ready to proceed systematically once the Burrow Challenge ends.

Expanding the small advantage rapidly like a prairie fire, this is the true charm of development and strategy.

Putting away the Mining Area map book, Zong Shen walked toward the Silver Treasure Chest.

In this mine exploration, he’s already opened several chests, even encountering a very rare Golden Trap Treasure Chest; indeed, exploring relics is easier for finding treasure chests.

[Silver Treasure Chest]

[An unknown Silver Treasure Chest, nobody knows what might be inside]

(The treasure chest is fine and can be safely opened)

This chest is just as the strategy guide suggested, a normal chest, safe to open.

[Successfully opened Silver Treasure Chest]

[Tiroka’s Bear Armor (Purple Level) ×1]

[Iron Wall Skill Book (Blue Level) ×1]

[Intermediate Illusion Magic Crystal (Blue Level) ×1]

[Tier Three Gold Digger Recruitment Scroll ×2]

[Tier Two Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll x3]

[Book: ”Cooking Manual” x1]

This treasure chest directly exploded with six rewards, among which there were two recruitment scrolls.

An equipment of Rare Level, a magic crystal, a skill book, and a book named ”Cooking Manual”.

Overall, this time Zong Shen’s luck is considered very good, these rewards appeared just at the right time.

He first stored away those recruitment scrolls without choosing to recruit immediately, because his Command Value is almost at its limit, reaching a level of 89/92, just 3 points away from full.

He must wait until the Territorial Range expands, arrange for Wenresa to free up some Command Value, or wait until tomorrow when Marie officially joins the territory, then there will be another hero to share the Command Value.

Although the growth potential of a Green Level hero is not as good as a Purple Level hero, as long as she is helped to level up quickly, and attribute points and skill points are allocated wisely, she can gain considerable Command Value.

Especially since Marie is a hero suitable for logistics work, she can be trained purely for logistics and command under the Wisdom Charm Stream standard.

For Marie, Zong Shen only hopes she can command those farmers within the territory.

He shook his head to eliminate those chaotic thoughts from his mind and first took out that majestic-looking battle armor.

It just so happened that his Netted Spider Armor had a large hole pierced through by the Calamity Battle Spear, Zong Shen originally planned to patch up the light armor from the Spider Web Monster Queen for temporary use, but now a Rare Level battle armor has appeared, so he won’t hold back.

[Tiroka’s Bear Armor (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare Level]

[Body Protection: 55]

[Magic Resistance: 25]

[Durability: 400]

[Strength Requirement: 35]

[Agility Requirement: 20]

[Skills: Summon Berserk Bear Warrior lv15 (Summon two lv15 Berserk Bear Warriors, duration 10 minutes, cooling time 1 hour)

Bear Mode lv10 (Enter Bear Mode, body size increases by 2.0 times, strength increases by 1.5 times, life value increases by 1.5 times, pain perception decreases by 50%, speed decreases by 30%, duration 5 minutes, cooling time 24 hours)

Passive Skill: Barbarian Bear Strength (life value +150, strength +8)]

(Wearing it, you will be as battle-skilled as the strongest Bear Commander in Tiroka Forest)

This equipment is definitely considered a top-grade armor among the Rare Level, not only does it have high armor value, but also three skills, one of which is a passive enhancement skill that not only increases life value but also adds to the strength attribute.

This is also the first time Zong Shen has seen a passive effect that can increase attributes outside of accessory equipment.

Zong Shen took off the [Netted Spider Armor] and put on the [Tiroka’s Bear Armor]

His strength attribute became 51 points, life value became 1078 points, after the additions from Demon’s Heart and strength attribute, this value is now basically comparable to a general Captain Level monster around level 20.

His body protection level also significantly enhanced, the defensive power of Tiroka’s Bear Armor is far superior to the Refined Level Netted Spider Armor, even if the Spider Web Monster Lord were to hurl another Calamity Battle Spear at him, whether it could penetrate his armor is another question.

After happily changing into his new equipment, Zong Shen took out the skill book. He actually isn’t lacking in skills or means, just the skills attached to his equipment are enough to handle most situations.

However, more skills never hurt, learning another skill can still be beneficial.

Zong Shen’s motto has always been that to forge iron, one must be strong oneself. Even if he has many elite soldiers, he still insists on continuously strengthening himself. Now, his strength can fully stand toe-to-toe with Tier Four soldiers.

If he activates the Demon Transformation skill, he can directly stabilize victory over those Tier Four soldiers, this is the embodiment of his strength.

He glanced down at the skill book in his hand, after all, it is an Excellent Level skill, it should be quite good, even if he can’t use it himself, he can give it to his confidant’s soldiers.

[Iron Wall Skill Book (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent Level]

[Learning Requirement: Strength > 20]

[After learning, you can master the skill: Iron Wall lv1]

[Iron Wall lv1: Enter Iron Wall State, resilience increases by 5%, armor value increases by 10%, life limit increases by 5%, duration 30 seconds, cooling time 2 hours]

[ (Click to learn) ]

(A high-level Iron Wall skill, it can make you unshakable; it is recommended to learn it, as it can increase your survival ability. If you obtain a Skill Experience Book, prioritize upgrading it)

This is a passive defensive enhancement skill, yet it is extremely highly recommended by the strategy, Zong Shen thinks it’s likely because Iron Wall’s ability to increase resilience.

The higher the resilience, the higher the resistance to negative statuses, and it can reduce the duration of negative statuses.

Currently, there is no upper limit to skill mastery, so Zong Shen naturally won’t mind learning one more skill.

With a pat on his hand, the skill book in his hand turned into a white glow and entered his Celestial Spirit, and some information flowed into his mind, and he mastered the Iron Wall skill!
