Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 19: Unexpected Gains_1

Seeing Taylor first unload the two enormous objects on his shoulder next to the Storage Space with ease and familiarity.

He then stepped forward and saluted Leo Ray, saying, "My Lord, I came across this carriage while hunting just now."

There are traces of fierce fighting around, but no bodies were found. They are presumably taken away by demon beasts.

By the way, I also found some intact weapons nearby and loaded them onto the carriage as well..."

"You did an excellent job, Taylor."

Patting his back, Leo Ray smiled and said, "I already know the whole story. You can get back to your work now."

Although he seemed calm on the surface, seeing the full carriage of goods, Leo Ray's heart was already filled with joy, as if he wanted to hug and lift Taylor high into the sky.

This was an unexpected harvest!

"Yes, sir!" Taylor saluted Leo Ray once more, then plunged back into the jungle.

Soon after, Leo Ray easily jumped onto the carriage, drew his Falling Moon Blade from his waist, and cut the ropes that fastened the goods on it. He couldn't wait to unveil the tarpaulin covering the goods.

The next second, in front of him, apart from the several Tier 1 weapons previously loaded by Taylor, there was a carriage full of glowing light-yellow crystals!

These crystal-clear crystals, under the alternating illumination of the two suns, reflected extremely dazzling brilliance.

Caught off guard, Leo Ray's eyes saw stars. He stumbled and almost landed in Stella Clark's arms.

"My Lord, they are Light Crystal Stones!" After blushing and stabilizing Leo Ray, Stella Clark, whose heart was pounding, couldn't help but blurt out.

"Well done, this is precisely the resource we need." Leo Ray, somewhat embarrassed, jumped off the carriage after coughing a few times.

He then went with Stella Clark to drive the carriage next to the Storage Space.

While reviewing the [Miracle Building Blueprint: Light Healing House], Leo Ray had learned.

Light Crystal Stones are rare Second-Class resources, even rarer and more valuable than common Iron Ore and Copper Ore.

More importantly, they are one of the essential materials to build the Light Healing House.

This undoubtedly means that he has taken another giant step closer to the first Miracle Building!

Then, with a thought from Leo Ray, several Tier 1 weapons, a carriage full of Light Crystal Stones, and the two demon beast corpses at the beginning, all entered the Storage Space.

"Another bountiful harvest..."

Feeling thrilled, Leo Ray found out after verification.

This carriage of Light Crystal Stones amounted to 1500 units.

As for Tier 1 weapons, there were a total of 5 types.

The two demon beasts consisted of a giant black pig covered with mushrooms and a Hexagonal Cattle even bigger than the one captured last time, both evidently yielding a massive amount of meat.

Without hesitation, he disintegrated them immediately.

[You disintegrated a Tier 1 Five-star demon beast Hexagonal Cattle, obtaining 1800x Beef, 60x Tendons, 25x Hides, and 6x Horns!]

[You disintegrated a Tier 1 Six-star demon beast Mushroom-hitting Pig, obtaining 2200x Pork, 40x Hides, and 500x Mushrooms!]

Next, weapon upgrade.

[Congratulations, your 'Tier 1 Weapon: Hook Scythe Spear' has been upgraded to 'Tier 1 Weapon: Hook Scythe Spear' #102!]

[Congratulations, your 'Tier 1 Weapon: Iron Sword' has been upgraded to 'Tier 3 Weapon: Flowing Light Sword'!]

[Congratulations, your 'Tier 1 Weapon: Wooden Longbow' has been upgraded to 'Tier 1 Weapon: Wooden Longbow' #101!]

[Congratulations, your 'Tier 1 Weapon: Healing Book' has been upgraded to 'Tier 3 Weapon: Book of Life'!][Congratulations, your "Tier 1 Weapon: Iron Dagger" has been upgraded to "Tier 3 Weapon: Ice Dance Blade"!]

"So I gained another 4000 units of meat, 3 Tier 3 weapons, and over 200 Tier 1 weapons...

And to think that I can extract 500 units of edible mushrooms from these pigs, that's just ridiculous."

After closing the storage space, Leo Ray, filled with joy, returned to his usual spot in front of the Lord's Mansion, sitting on the stone steps, as he enjoyed the refreshing breeze and opened the interface.

Now that he had enough meat, it was time to settle the wages for the other Lords.

I provide meat, you provide the labor to acquire resources, I solve the problem of upgrading the mansion, you solve the problem of eating, fair and clean.

However, Leo Ray still didn't put up the trades immediately, instead he entered the Chat Channel first to check on the current situation of other Lords.

[You have entered Channel No. 000217]

"Hey brothers, is anyone organizing a team of four farmers to go hunting? Can we defeat the Demon Beasts this time? Can someone with big guts pave the way for us all?"

"Pfft, why don't you go yourself? You really are a cunning little ghost (scorn)."

"Anyway, I'm not going out. I'll wait to summon two more subordinates tomorrow to make a team of seven. Wouldn't that increase our odds?"

"Yeah, it's dangerous out there! I haven't eaten for a day and a night and I'm still cutting down trees along with the farmers. I guess it's just a way to lose weight!"

"The guy above, I have a friend who thought like you, and now he weighs 11 pounds lighter, living quite peacefully."

"So hungry... I miss Master Leo's quality meat."

"The first day without Master Leo, miss him (poor thing)."

"I strongly request Master Leo to restock! Yesterday, there were only two old farmer ladies chasing me for food, now there are four..."

...

Upon seeing this, Leo Ray shook his head with an awkward smile.

Though the number of subordinates had doubled on this second day,

Many people still did not dare to send their farmers out of the Safety Zone due to the cruel lesson they learned the first day.

As a result, the demand for food not only did not decrease but instead increased significantly compared to yesterday.

Most importantly, the doubled labor force meant that most people now had more resources at hand!

After briefly pondering, Leo Ray decided to proceed in two steps.

Since the chat area was eagerly awaiting his return, the first step was, of course, to make an appearance and brush up on his likeability with some high-quality meat.

Now, he had 2900 units of beef and 2200 units of pork, enough to juggle between both roles with ease.

As for the remaining few hundred units of snake meat, he decided to save it for himself and his subordinates.

With this in mind, Leo Ray didn't post in the chat channel but directly put up 200 portions of beef for trade at the Trading Center with yesterday's price.

Without a doubt, taking action was the best expression. The lords who managed to grab the meat would naturally promote him in the chat channel.

[Trader: Leo Ray]

[Items for Trade: Beef 200 portions (1 portion per exchange, 0.5 kg per portion)]

[Required Item 1: Stone (20 units)]

[Required Item 2: Wood (40 units)]

[Required Item 3: Thatch (80 units)]

As expected, the moment he refreshed the Trading Center, all chat channels erupted in excitement as the lords who had been squatting there, waiting for food, noticed the 200 portions of beef that Leo Ray had put up!
