Chapter 117: The Iron Age of Plague Island
After instructing Ailian, Dachun took another look at the holes dug by the AFK players in the pumpkin field. He felt that the field was completely wasted because his main character was too busy to handle it.

At this moment, Lao Tie came over excitedly to greet him: "City Lord, we have made great progress, look--"

He pointed to a row of buildings not far away, blazing with flames. He wasn't sure if they should be called buildings. "These ten are ore smelting furnaces. They were just haphazardly built with mud bricks to speed up the process. Each furnace has three layers. According to the different melting points of silver, copper, and iron, the silver and copper with low melting points, which are easier to extract, are separated first. Then the copper is processed into parts to build blowers. We're also preparing to build a refining furnace to fully smelt iron..."

Dachun nodded repeatedly as he watched, his scalp tingling.

It feels like evolving from the Stone Age to the Iron Age is just a matter of grabbing two ships and taking one night!
But the more this happened, the more Dachun felt that the crisis was urgent and the progress was not enough!

Dachun thought of something: "We don't have any salary right now, so why are we doing this——"

Lao Tie hissed anxiously and whispered, "This is the evil spirit's fanatical obsession. As long as life lasts, the fanaticism will not stop. The city lord should only mention the lofty goal of magic gold. Don't mention the word salary. If they think of it, it will be bad news."

Dachun nodded repeatedly in shock!

Anyway, let’s get down to business.

Dachun warned, "My friend, do you see this pumpkin? It's the antidote to the plague. There are many medical talents on the island, right? Arrange some people to come and separate the pumpkin seeds and flesh and preserve them. The seeds are very valuable! We can't make any mistakes. Whoever makes a mistake——"

Lao Tie knows very well: "Whoever is wrong will be beaten!"

Dachun was very pleased: "Great! By the way, keep an eye out for anyone on the island who knows how to grow plants. They'll be useful for growing pumpkins in the future."

Lao Tie laughed, "Yes, the Pumpkin Knight! This pumpkin patch seems to be his land during his lifetime. They're currently repairing a wall there!"

Such a famous name?!
Dachun was really surprised: "Is he really a knight?"

Lao Tie laughed. "He's selling melons at the market. This island is barren after all, and other vegetables don't grow well. The pumpkins he manages to grow are small and taste bad, so he tries to be artistic and makes up ghost stories about pumpkin knights. He even carves pumpkins into lanterns."

Oh my! This guy is also a marketing talent?

"Very good. Once all the seeds are collected, I'll find a time to contact him."

Then Dachun thought of something else: "Let Old Wall Lamp collect some old glass and burn some medicine bottles to make pumpkin medicine. We already have a distillation system and clean water, so cleaning the bottles should be no problem, right?"

Lao Tie laughed, "Lao Baideng's glass shop is already open, and he's already made hundreds of bottles! He knew the City Lord would definitely need them!"

Dachun was very pleased: "Very good, very good. Then I will go find the old foreman to continue my study. We must make rapid progress!"

Lao Tie laughed and said, "I wonder if the Guardian God will have any new gains tonight. If he gets some more good stuff, it will definitely be faster."

Holy shit! You haven't completely cleared yourself of this, have you?

But, I like it! Wahahahaha~~~
Then Dachun found the old foreman. During the day he was gone, the city wall had risen a lot, and several turrets had taken shape.

The old foreman was too busy to greet them: "The city lord is here, let's continue learning!"

Dachun said without further ado: "Learn!"

To be honest, I'm drying my nets during the day and fishing at night. What I'm learning is not coherent at all and I don't know what I can learn.

——System prompt: You enter the team assistance mode of the old foreman Biyande, and you enter the automatic on-hook learning mode.

……

At this point, this day of working all night has come to an end. Let’s log off and go out for breakfast.

Dachun was so exhausted right now that he couldn't even pretend anymore. Pretending was exhausting. Arriving on the first floor, the other experts weren't as energetic as usual. They were all snoring on the sofas, while the game screens showed them mining on the AFK.

Imagine how furious and frustrated people must have been when the Tata War God, with just three goats, led off the siege monsters, leaving the players of the Black Iron City, who had spent all their money preparing for the siege, with no experience gained. During the siege, they dared not leave the city to fight monsters, and could only mine.

The key is, what can you do?

……

The third floor of the Internet cafe.

Qingfeng, who also stayed up all night but was still energetic, watched Dachun leave.

I have to say that Zhongdeng’s regularity is amazing. He always has breakfast, lunch and dinner on time.

And it can be confirmed that he pulled an all-nighter again last night. At his age, he must be more tired after pulling an all-nighter for two nights, but his pace was so steady and confident, just like several coaches of the previous championship team.

Compare this to his ranking which jumped to 10 last night. This is incredible. You can imagine the significant achievements he made throughout the past two days, and this is on an exile island!

Okay, let’s lay the groundwork, continue laying the groundwork, and let some unknown and mysterious gossip about him spread all over the forums around the world.

Just then, the phone rang, it was Brother Long again!

"Hello, Brother Long!"

"How is he?"

"Just going out for dinner!"

Ma Yinglong laughed. "That's even earlier than the security guards... Actually, I heard a rumor from a client who wears a piece of cloth on his head. I don't know if it's outdated yet. Two mining ships in Baiyin City were robbed and disappeared the day before yesterday or yesterday, then mysteriously reappeared. The entire ship was infected with the plague!"

Qingfeng was shocked. "Infected with the plague? Did Chun Ge do it?"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "When I first heard the news, I had the same reaction. What would other people around the world think if they heard the news?"

Qingfeng smiled: "I'm sure everyone will think of Chun Ge, right?"

Ma Yinglong smiled and said, "That's the effect we want. It doesn't matter whether he did it or not. What matters is that everyone thinks he did it. So I'm just providing you with some material, and you can think about it slowly."

"Is this information reliable, Brother Long?"

"You're kidding! My web game is selling like crazy over there. You probably don't know how much Brother Bu invested in my web game studio... Their information is at least half true!"

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Long, we will think about it carefully!"

"By the way, how is the situation in your Silver Light Village?"

Qingfeng smiled. "This village is really rich! It's built right at the entrance to a silver mine, and it even has its own coin minting machine. It can produce up to 1000 coins an hour. It's all cash, not bank transfers. There are so many things they can do."

Ma Yinglong laughed: "For example, pirate trade?"

"Of course! Our entire group is taking advantage of this lockdown to not fight and dig for silver. 100 people have already reached Advanced Level 10. If someone unexpectedly digs up some mithril, we'll be experts! And the silver mines also come with a lot of copper and iron ores. We've also been forging weapons and armor. As long as we're not too unlucky, Gou Xiaoming might become the first expert-level blacksmith in the national server..."

Ma Yinglong was very pleased: "Very good, after all, the national team still depends on you to hold on! You must hold on..."
