Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 153 Adding Chips
"You, and you, both come outside."

Wang Yue was still unclear about humans' attitude towards undead creatures. He didn't dare to risk summoning skeleton laborers in front of so many people, so he could only grab the junior carpenters around him to work as porters.

Seeing that these useless guys were still not moving, Wang Yue pulled out the bone spur, showed the honest carpenters the flowing black light on the rapier, and then pointed at the gold-level adventurer emblem on his chest.

"If you don't leave now, I will poke each of you into wooden statues."

"You guys go help him, otherwise Sally will find a reason to protect him."

No matter how reluctant the carpenters were, they finally followed Wang Yue out.

They had all seen the task list for building a watchtower in the association, but no one dared to take it.

Not to mention the workload required to build a ten-meter-high watchtower, in order to support such a tall building, the handling of each connection is not something that a junior carpenter can do.

"The deadline is before sunset. If you don't do it, you will have to lie down all night."

Let his craftsmen get busy, and the intermediate blacksmith Bronzebeard and the leatherworker Kiran came outside to watch Wang Yue make the watchtower.

At first they thought that Wang Yue was just a junior carpenter. After all, judging from their perception, Wang Yue's level was only the first level, and he was still very young.

"It doesn't take a whole day. It only takes a moment."

The production difficulty of the [Wooden Watchtower] is average for an intermediate carpenter. Wang Yue can complete it by following the steps and looking at the blueprint in front of him.

The sentry tower was built from top to bottom. There was not much difference between the tower room and the wooden house at the top. Wang Yue made dozens of wooden houses, and the production speed was calculated in seconds.

As long as the assistant carpenter handed him the wood, he could quickly cut it with the spur.

"Eh? Why is the quality of the wood here not so good?"

The [Snowfield Spruce] on the Trial Island is a first-grade wood, and the [Grassland Pine] next to the Free Town is also a first-grade wood. Although both are first-grade, their hardness and strength are incomparable to pine wood.

This is related to the rarity of the materials. The spruce wood on the Trial Island is of excellent quality, and the weapons made from them are also green equipment.

Pine wood is very common. The grassland is not suitable for growing trees. Naturally, these malnourished pine wood can only be made into the most common items.

“No wonder they thought the carpenters were being lazy. It turned out it wasn’t a technical problem, but a material problem.”

After completing the top of the watchtower, Wang Yue put down the work in his hands and walked straight towards the two intermediate craftsmen who were watching.

"Humph, the action is very quick. But don't forget that the work and the soul are the same. I will only recognize you if the result is complete."

"The current part looks okay. You are indeed better than the average junior carpenter. If you are more humble, you will definitely become an intermediate carpenter in the future."

The craftsmen spoke with their strength. In their opinion, the half done by Wang Yue was already half successful. As long as the stairs and brackets of the watchtower were completed, the project would be considered complete.

Wang Yue shook her finger and took out the [Snowfield Spruce] stored in the package.

"The wood you have here is all inferior. If you don't use better wood, I'm afraid if something goes wrong none of us will be able to escape."

The two men looked at the piece of wood in Wang Yue's hand. The blacksmith Tongxu took it, changed to an axe and split the wood in half.

"It does feel different, but you only have this one, so I'm afraid it can only be a child's toy, haha."

Bronzebeard laughed, threw the chopped wood aside, and waved his hand for Wang Yue to continue working.

But when Wang Yue took out a whole tree of [Snowfield Spruce], the expressions of the two craftsmen froze for three seconds.

"I mean, use the wood I brought with me, but you have to give me some benefits as well."

Although the two mid-level craftsmen are not as strong as the masters in the castle, their family background is definitely richer than the poor castle. If they can get equipment, then this mission will be worth using better wood.

The two looked at each other, and after thinking for a moment, they agreed to Wang Yue's request.

"I have no problem with that. Just consider it as contributing to the expedition."

"I just made a set of armor in my furnace, but you don't look like a warrior, so let me make you a pair of shoulder guards."

After the two agreed, an additional task popped up on the game interface.

[Mission objective: Use spruce wood to make a sentry tower]

[Quest Reward: Lion Wolf Leggings, Anti-Stab Shoulder Pads]

The original association's sentry tower mission is still in effect, and the task of mediating conflicts is still in progress, but as long as Wang Yue can complete the production of the sentry tower, all three tasks can be completed at the same time.

It was the first time for the junior carpenters to see such rare wood. They looked at Wang Yue with envy, and their saws and knives were already impatient to work on it.

"Then let's get started!"

Wang Yue turned around and inserted the bone spur into the spruce wood. He held the hilt of the sword with one hand and pushed it forward. The entire snowfield spruce was split into two by the bone spur.

He ran forward quickly on the tree trunk, swinging the bone spurs in his hand left and right, and cut off the extra branches.

Other carpenters gathered around the tree, carefully sanding the bark and completing the process.

"It's good to have a carpenter who knows the trade to help me, so I don't have to do the sanding myself."

The spruce wood was quickly processed, and Wang Yue used green-quality wood to rebuild the sentry tower.

This time the top of the tower was completed much faster, and the rest of the tower was quickly completed with the help of the carpenter. Before the sun reached overhead, a [first-order sentry tower] had been erected outside the logistics workshop.

"The durability is 3000, which is equivalent to withstanding 300 attacks. It can sleep in high places and escape in low places. It is a truly practical war machine."

The rest of the transportation was left to the soldiers. Whether it was carrying it by hand, carrying it on a horse-drawn carriage, or dismantling it and reinstalling it, it had nothing to do with Wang Yue.

[Task completed]

The huge sentry tower not only made passers-by stop, but also attracted other craftsmen in the workshop.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen the sentry tower?"

Bronzebeard and Kieran were helpless against their incompetent subordinates.

But now the conflict no longer exists. Everyone is attracted by the tall watchtower in front of them and has no intention of doing their own things.

The two intermediate craftsmen kept their promise, and Bronzebeard took the bone spur from Wang Yue.

"Dwarves never lie. It's time to upgrade your first-level weapon. Come back to me in a couple of days to get it."

In addition to weapon enhancements, they also took out the agreed equipment.

[Lion Wolf Leggings: The masterpiece of the intermediate leatherworker Jilan, made of the back skin of a prairie lion]

[Effect: Defense +20]

[Effect: Ice resistance +2%]

[Lion Wolf Suit Effect: Gain the power of a lion after use, lasting for 30 seconds]

The Lion-Wolf Leggings are yellow pants made of pure leather. If you wear them with the Lion-Wolf combat boots and match them with the leather jacket on Wang Yue, they look very warm just by looking at them.

[Anti-thorn shoulder guards: inspired by porcupines, whose thorns may occasionally scratch themselves]

[Effect: Defense +12]

[Effect: Every time you are attacked, 10% of the damage will be rebounded to the target]

The anti-stab shoulder guard is a lightweight iron spike, but it needs to be tied with straps on the shoulders. If the movement is too large, it is really possible to hurt yourself.

"Why are the people from the association here? Isn't it time to inspect the goods yet?"

It’s not even noon yet, and the association has sent people to the workshop.

The sentry tower was very conspicuous in the town. It only took a moment for everyone to notice the ten-meter-high giant, so the association came here in advance.

"I didn't make a mistake. Gold level."

The president of the Adventurer's Association, Sally, appeared in person. He already knew that the person who took the order was Wang Yue.

This time, he not only brought gold coins as a reward, but also threw a roll of parchment to Wang Yue.

"Look at it when no one is around. Take the things away."

Under Sally's order, the association's people pushed down the watchtower, which was then divided into several parts and placed on carriages for transfer.

"The people here are really generous. They give you tasks as soon as you ask for them. The rewards are high and the experience is high."

Wang Yue put away the parchment scroll and the equipment he had obtained. He had to go back to the association to take more orders and quickly reach level 20 to put on all the equipment.
