Chapter 19 – Step by Step
But.. jokes aside.. I really need to become stronger.. a previous attack.. by a fighter who wasn't at a quarter of his strength.. and with a sword devoid of its properties.. was able to suppress us all..
And were it not for the wondrous ability of the island, I wouldn't be speaking to you now with such confidence... all this, and his master hadn't even intervened yet.. without knowing anything else about their other powers..
This is just one Lord.. what about the others.. there is no doubt that the world outside the island seems like a world ruled by clashing forces.. before I am able to depart towards it, I must be fully prepared..
For this reason.. I need to be stronger.. and to have strong allies as well..
The beginning.. will be from the Forge.. sacrificing a valuable weapon . like the Headless Sword . seems like an adventure.. but adventure always reveals the new..
The Forge requires opening a second space. The Rock family needs a new space. The Eagle needs a new space as well..
these are three new spaces..
The conditions for opening a new space seem very easy after all we have reached.. but..
What is frightening is that System.. what about another disaster.. it may seem that the previous disaster was easy, but.. what made it so was the Exponential Wallet, nothing else.. and were it not for it, I would have been among the dead already..
So I must not open any new spaces without thinking.. I must calculate everything with logic and planning to face the worst possibilities..
So..
Step one.. increasing collective power.
Step two.. increasing individual power.
Why did I put the power of the group before the power of the individual.. because the group, in their union.. will undoubtedly be stronger than the power of an individual.. therefore, increasing their power means much greater strength for the village..
So how do I increase the collective power quickly?..
First.. adding new strong fighters.. and I have the solution for that..
The System's prize after my victory over the Deceptive Beast..
{ The Demonic Farmer, Tro }
He seems from his name to be a truly strong fighter.. he will be a great help.. but
The conditions for summoning him..
First.. a Masterpiece weapon
Second.. accumulation of no less than 100 thousand
The first condition seems logical.. to have a strong weapon to present as a gift to him . but why must I have 100 thousand accumulation??
Well, it doesn't matter now.. the accumulation is present now.. but the weapon.. I cannot possess it.. yes, I own the Headless Sword, but I cannot give it to him while I already have plans to sacrifice it in the Forge..
So the solution is summoning the Demonic Farmer and increasing power.. they both move together towards opening the new space and building the Forge..
After 3 days..
{ 2:00 PM }
I have fulfilled the conditions for opening the new space.. they were not difficult conditions, but they took time..
The first condition was represented in reaching 30 people in the village.. the condition had already been fulfilled previously..
The second condition was . the presence of funds exceeding a million.. it was also provided thanks to the Wallet..
The third condition was the presence of followers who have surpassed the First Rank.. well, thanks to Lois who already reached the Second Rank, hahaha
The fourth condition was what made us late.. building a wheat farm and supervising it until the middle of the third day..
Well.. Lois was happy with this news.. for her farms reached 7.. and her salary increased as well.. yes, she has a salary that depends on the farms she manages and the success of those farms..
The weather.. seems spring-like as well.. I wonder when the weather changes to winter or summer? I don't know.. but I am happy with this beautiful weather always..
I am now ready to open the new space.. and of course, the Four Leaders decided to be here and accompany me for exploration..
{ System }
{ Open the new space }
{ Open }
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ A new space has been opened successfully }
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ An achievement has been obtained - The Fast Builder }
{ A prize has been obtained }
{ Animal Store }
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ A general attribute has been obtained }
{ Wind Blade }
This is great, hahaha
I cannot get tired of these beautiful alerts, hahaha.. what a wonderful feeling.. and I have obtained the Fast Builder achievement..
Is it something related to me opening the space quickly?
So what would happen if I opened another space now? Hahaha.. it seems like an adventure..
But...
Damn it.. the idea started eating my mind again.. it reminds me of my first day, hahaha
So what are the conditions for opening a new space..
I opened the System again.. while the four remained standing, looking towards the screen with eyes of great admiration..
The first condition - the number of city members is 100 people..
The second condition - accumulation 100
The third condition - funds 3 million
The fourth condition - a Customized weapon
Well.. well.. all conditions are met except for the presence of 100 people.. we have exactly 52 people in the city..
I can summon 50 others now.. but... it seems like a large number that I won't be able to contain quickly.. and I have an exploration of the new place..
So... what is the solution...
"Suman"
"Yes, My Lord"
"Do we have enough places to house 50 new people?"
"My Lord.. it is a large number that we cannot put in the new construction.. "
"Why is that?"
"The design of the new city.. I have already discussed it with you.. not all houses are completed.. and until their completion, they suffice for less than 80 people"
Well, the matter seems really difficult...
"What are you thinking of, My Lord?"
Monali asked..
After explaining the matter to them and my search for a new achievement in opening speed.. none of them had a suggestion.. except
"What about.. " Lois smiled slightly..
"What"
"Why don't you build ready-made houses for them.. didn't you say that the System provided you with a collective house of 3 floors that suffices for 20 people.. I believe that the space here has places where you can build 3 residential units of this type"
She is right indeed... and also I won't need to ruin the design of the new city.. in any case.. the place here, we decided to leave it and rearrange it later.
"Well done, Lois.. let's start then.. I want your help.. in guiding the new people"
"Present, My Lord.. "
The next day..
{ 9:00 }
Since yesterday.. I finished building the collective housing.. but the time was night.. I didn't want to summon people at that time.. their organization and guidance wouldn't be an easy matter in the dark..
Since two hours ago.. I thought of doing the summoning, but the time was very early in the morning.. but after Lois's insistence.. I did the summoning at eight o'clock already..
20 lumberjacks..
20 farmers..
10 servants..
I was keen on the farmers this time being from my own special summoning.. I want to try a different type of farming.. but it's still early to talk about it..
Now.. everyone in the village began welcoming the new arrivals . Monali forced me to sit on a certain chair as a throne, haha.. she said simply
"Your status must be preserved for everyone."
I welcomed everyone and their integration seemed very easy..
The System, on the other hand.. was glowing in an affecting way.. a new slot for summoning has opened..
{ The Families }
When browsing it.. it was different and lively as well.. in the slot, you find housing requests from random families.. priority for the residents of the Forgotten Moon . and in case you wanted families from another race.. then you need to pay a certain amount..
There is also an option inside the slot itself . but it is still locked
{ Special People }
It seems these people possess capabilities of some sort.. but.. what is surprising is their presence in the middle of the Families slot..
After thinking . it seems that there is someone within that family among the special ones.. and when contracting with him, he brings his family..
It is closer to migration to developed countries that provide higher privileges than the person's own country..
Hahahaha.. it seems our city is still unsuitable for special people, haha.. therefore the slot is still locked.. and there are no conditions.. just locked
On the other hand, I got the 100-member prize.. but it was disappointing.. 30 thousand Dinars.. what an amount, haha
I decided indeed to distribute it as a reward for everyone..
{ 10:00 }
It's time to open the space..
{ System }
{ Open a new space }
{ Open }
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ A new space has been opened }
{ An achievement has been obtained - The Fast Builder }
{ A prize has been obtained }
{ A Customized weapon has been obtained }
{ Snow Mountain Spear }
Is this all??? No attribute and nothing else.. it is a disappointing matter..
Then what about the Fast Builder achievement.. it is the same achievement again, shouldn't it be an upgraded fast builder for example..
After all the fatigue, this is what I get..
Well. It's not as if the importance of opening the space is in the prizes.. the truth is its importance is in the space itself.. I have two spaces.. now it's time to go to the new space..
{ 12:00 }
Another green space. No existence of anything different in it from what already exists in the first space.. a wide and flat space..
Well.. it's time to build the Forge..
{ The Weapons Forge }
From nothingness, a transparent blueprint appeared. Square-shaped, the size of a house.. it was similar to what appears when building the ready-made house.. just point it towards the desired place and adjust its direction . and press Build
{ Build }
Upon pressing.. the transparent blueprint started, like glass, being clad in a red layer of bricks... then it began taking the shape of a large forge and a column rose from its middle towards the top..
Although the transparent blueprint was square . yet the built Forge was three-quarters of a circle, growing from the bottom and shrinking from the top.. and in its front was a wooden door in the color of the desert..
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ The Weapons Forge has been built successfully }
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ Upon building the Forge. The weapons store opens automatically and it can be built in the village to sell weapons and equipment }
This.. is great.. I wouldn't wish for more than that.. now it's time for work..
Step by step.. I entered the Forge with the rest.. its interior was. large.. larger than it looks from the outside.. no.. not as it looks, but it truly is almost double what it is from the outside..
In the center, there was a medium-sized stone forge glowing with a warm fire.. and in front of the forge was a wide bench..
In the left and right end of the Forge.. there were two doors leading to another place..
When looking towards the forge and the rooms.. there was an explanation describing the two and their work..
The Forge.. inside it is placed the weapon you want to sacrifice..
The left room to measure the person's level and suggest the suitable weapon for him from among those present..
The right room was a place where everything manufactured in the Forge is found..
I raised my hand.. I brought out the Headless Sword.. it looked strong as it was.. I hesitated for a moment in sacrificing it.. but it is a matter that must be done..
I stepped forward with confident steps.. I raised it with both my hands . then I placed it over the bench..
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ Weapon Sacrifice }
{ Approve - Reject }
{ Approve }
Suddenly . a part of the bench rose . and carried the sword towards the inside of the forge.. then the part of the bench came out again.. alone
The fire of the forge.. started glowing.. and it seemed as if it were hotter.. I stepped back several steps.. then after moments..
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ Melting has ended }
{ The ten weapons are ready }
{ Ding.. Ding.. Ding }
{ The weapons have been moved to the weapon room }
Step by step.. my steps quickened towards the room.. and it seemed that the other four were excited as well, haha
The special room for weapons was completely different from the outside.. it seemed as if it were a museum decorated with beautiful engravings.
And it consisted of two halls separated by transparent glass and a glass door as well.. the first hall included display platforms.. 9 platforms specifically.. and it was written at the top of the hall
{ Customized Weapons }
No one among the others approached the weapons.. their eyes went towards .. not as if they were asking for permission to browse.. but
All of us were aware.. that the Forge produced 10 weapons..
In the first hall dedicated to customized weapons.. 9 weapons were found
This means one thing..
The second hall.. will surely include a Masterpiece weapon..
Excitement was radiating from my eyes.. and the eyes of the others as well.. everyone in that moment..
Wanted to possess that weapon...
