Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 168 New Force
The hundreds of people brought by Wang Yue quickly left Free Town and headed north.

Because the adventurers stationed in the northern ice field have received the news that the association has no money, Wang Yue's men will replace them and garrison the stronghold that has just been occupied.

The association actually began to operate shortly after Wang Yue's visit, temporarily providing idle adventurers with something to do.

As in the past, adventurers can receive commissions to hunt wild animals in the association, but this time they need to carry the body of the wild animal to the association, otherwise they will not be able to receive the mission reward.

In addition to hunting tasks, the association has issued more [tree felling] commissions, and the rewards are equally generous.

In addition, the Adventurer's Association sent some employees to the [Northern Icefield] and set up a temporary branch of the association in a simple base.

Silver adventurers can accept missions at the Icefield Stronghold. The mission objectives are to help resist the invading trolls and explore the Northern Icefield map.

"We need not only money but also brains."

Wang Yue was carrying wood to build a house. He was surrounded by his men who were also carrying wood, as well as the craftsmen from Free Town who he had hired at a high price.

Due to the invasion of trolls, there are only two sentry towers left in the Icefield stronghold, and the wooden houses for living also need to be temporarily built. With the addition of hundreds of people, of course at least one hundred [wooden houses] are needed.

"Sir, are you a noble from the South? How do you have so much money? And so many friends?"

Finko was Wang Yue's assistant. She knew that the craftsmen in Free Town charged very high prices. It would cost 20 silver coins just to make a weapon.

If the work is done on a daily basis, a junior craftsman alone will need to be paid 50 silver coins.

"To be honest, I inherited a castle when I was born. I may have a noble title, but no one told me what kind of title it should be, so I can only be considered a commoner now."

Wang Yue felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement. Although the mysterious castle was a little far from the mainland, it was still quite magnificent.

The former owner, the vampire William, might really be a nobleman, and he might even have old friends in the human kingdom.

"I got a box of gold coins from a good friend. No matter how much I spend, I can't spend it all. I'm very distressed."

Wang Yue stroked the ring. Fortunately, the sleeping Sith did not hear what he said.

Fen Ke believed in her master, so in her heart she already regarded Wang Yue as a noble.

"I was right. When you first came to Free Town, many people said that a noble who had lost his bodyguards had come. I didn't expect there would be so many bodyguards later."

The werewolf girl looked at the working Lost Souls and Cat People. It was the first time she had seen these creatures. She felt that they were different from the orcs or humans in Free Town.

The cat-people were defenseless and would answer any questions asked by the werewolves, even though what they said was incomprehensible to Finke. She had never heard of any island or cat-people goddess.

The Lost Souls were the kindest humans she had ever met. Even if they were accidentally tripped by their companions, they would stand up without saying a word.

"It's just that these humans fall too easily and their movements are not very flexible. They must be from a big city, right?"

In short, the entrance to the northern ice sheet was once again occupied by human forces.

Wang Yue and his men began to strengthen the defense of the stronghold. This place had already been occupied by Wang Yue, so he had to give the new stronghold a name.

"Calling it a stronghold is too old-fashioned. Xiao Nuo, change this area to Beifeng Town. This will be my first development site."

"Understood. The map information has been modified."

Below the northern ice field map, near the grassland map, a small town icon appeared.

From now on, players can find a new town, [Beifeng Town] as long as they open the map.

The skeletons' sneak attacks in the middle of the night hit many studios. The studios were obviously much more restrained the next day, but their upgrade efficiency was still high.

Because new players joined on the second day, the total number of players in the game increased, and the novice map became noticeably more crowded.

At this time, a large group of players took the time to level up, and did not miss any missions in the northern forest.

The anchor Fengye also got Sister Xue's permission to temporarily put aside his assistant work and opened the game early.

The teammates on standby are already online. They will start from level 8 today and try to reach level 10 to unlock the next map.

"Kimchi, how's your new article going yesterday?"

"Thank you for the advice, Sister Fengye. My guide to upgrading as a novice has been improved a lot. I have posted it online. I guess a lot of people will read it in the next two days."

The live broadcast has not started yet, and a group of people are chatting while replenishing supplies in the small town.

Maple Leaf was choosing arrows. When she bought the [wooden bow and arrow], she felt that the materials used looked familiar.

"Where did the wood we gave to William go? Did he make it into a product and sell it to us?"

The color of the wooden arrows is similar to that of the trees in the forest, but this alone does not enough to suspect that Wang Yue is a dishonest businessman.

Maybe it was just made by the NPC merchants themselves. After all, selling it in a woodland town and using the surrounding wood is more in line with the game settings.

"Sister Fengye, we have bought everything. How are you?"

"Okay, wait for me to start a live broadcast, and we will start the action immediately."

Fengye dispelled his doubts and stopped fighting with the virtual NPC.

Today they are heading to a woodland cave, where they will clean the spiders and bring the silk back to town as textile material.

"For a collection mission, the information I got can be obtained from monsters, or I can directly collect spider webs in the cave."

When writing the game guide, Paocai consulted a lot of netizens' sharing, and of course he did not miss the mission in the woodland cave.

"When we reach level 10 today, I will write a guide overview of levels 1-10. If any of my friends in the live streaming room want to get started, they can read the guide I wrote. It's guaranteed to be simple and brainless."

"Heh, I find that you are becoming more and more talented in live streaming. What Pao Cai said is right. If the audience who watched my live broadcast is interested in experiencing it for themselves, they might as well read the article written by Pao Cai."

The Maple Leaf Team started to set off. Because they were delayed in the small town for a while, there were already dozens of players at the entrance of the woodland cave.

The view outside the cave is wider and there is no risk of being besieged by spiders due to the narrow terrain, so individual players choose to fight monsters outside to obtain items.

The five-man team does not have to worry about the combat effectiveness. Maple Leaf leads the team deeper into the cave. The light around them becomes greener and greener, with the only lighting coming from the luminous moss in the cave.

"Sure enough, there are fewer people inside. If you are not in a team, I suggest that you do not come in alone when leveling up."

Not only are the passages in the cave narrow, but due to the lack of visibility, some spiders hanging above the head will be ignored.

As Maple Leaf continued to explore, their team often attracted two spiders at the same time and had to stop and kill them before they could continue.

"Go away, go away. Don't you see someone coming?"

The team that arrived first was already guarding the monster spawning point. Seeing the newly appeared team, they used words to ask Fengye and others to leave.

“Isn’t this the famous anchor Fengye? Kick out your fans and let me join your team.”

The team captain who appeared at this time was also a host. The male host named Teapot was a technical expert. His live broadcast popularity was exactly one million, making him a well-known host.

He has quit his team and used his aggressive attitude to make the Maple Leafs kick people.

"I'm not a big anchor. I'm just an anchor who plays games with my fans and occasionally chats and analyzes battles."

"How modest. Yesterday in Woodland Town, I saw the big anchor stole the show. Now he's unwilling to guide his little brother. Are you looking down on me?"

The content of their chat is public and can be seen by the live broadcast audience, who can sense that something is about to happen between them.

Seeing the male anchor's domineering attitude, Paocai and his teammates rushed up.

He now only regretted that the PK system had not been unlocked yet, otherwise he would have hit the opponent's head with the wooden stick in his hand.
