[Gao Yan: Everyone be careful; don't venture out at night. If anyone has summoned subjects, then remember to feed them; if not, loyalty will decrease and they will turn against you.]
[Lan Yue: What?! Then I shouldn't have summoned them.]
[Li Qiang: Fortunately I hadn't summoned anyone.]
[Xiao Tian: Tsk! What betrayal? What loyalty decrease? As long as you provide food and shelter, they are willing to work. Look, my farmers and craftsmen are building a hut. There is also a beautiful archer who is massaging me. Image]
[Zhao Kai: Boss Xiao Tian is awesome. I think he is the protagonist of this world.]
[Wang Lei: Can someone tell me how you recruited subjects with talents? Mine are all without one.]
[Zhao Kai: Wang Lei, did you provoke some god of this world? Your luck is really bad.]
[Gao Yan: Yes, your luck is really the worst. There is an eighty percent probability of recruiting a subject with talent when summoning first time but you didn't even hit one.]
[Li Qiang: Hiss. I hope my luck isn't as bad as his.]
[Ye Ming: I think my luck is even worse than his. I tried to find my wife but I ended up finding someone else's... Image]
[Wang Lei: Boss Ye, I kneel down to you!]
[Zhao Kai: Damn, five beauties, and you say your luck is the worst!]
The regional chat was very lively.
Many people are feeling jealous of Ye Ming's luck.
Lin Feng was also in this group and he almost couldn't resist summoning subjects.
As long as one has the Gate of Summoning built, they can recruit various survivors. And most importantly, the first five summons were free.
It looked like a great deal but if you don't have enough food and shelter, things would go awry very easily.
The most common was the survivor leaving the territory and another was betrayal, which is rare but can often happen.
Lin Feng was currently weak and did not have enough food. Summoning them might as well be giving up freebies or digging his grave.
He didn't want to try it, especially since he noticed that the number of lords had decreased by twenty.
The number could've been even larger; however, the unity of everyone made it easier to survive, as for those who perished, one could only pray silently and hope it wasn't their turn next time.
Everyone in the chat avoided this topic, as they didn't want to affect them.
Lin Feng was also the same.
Although he had already died and transmigrated, it was his first time facing such a cruel world.
Casting away his complicated thoughts, he focused on the rewards from the treasure chest.
The silver-grade spirit recovery potion was as good, as it can help him recover hundred spirit points within a minute.
A pity he couldn't copy, as it required him to have more than fifty spirit attributes.
However, there was no need to be discouraged, as such item was not rare, which meant he would encounter it further.
The next reward was an iron-grade recruitment order, which he could copy as long as he recovered.
This item allowed him to recruit highly talented subjects, which was great. But it didn't mean it was free; he still had to spend copper coins and the amount was one thousand.
He felt the mist world was targeting him specifically after knowing he could copy.
However, he had no proof.
"System, synthesize the Gate of Summoning," he said.
The day was almost over and since he couldn't copy anything without long rest, he decided to use the synthesize function.
It did not consume any spirit, which was a good point.
[Synthesizing Gate of Summoning… Synthesized successfully. Obtained Iron Grade Gate of Summoning* 1]
[Iron Grade Gate of Summoning: Ten percent probability of recruiting highly talented subjects.]
"..."
Ten percent?
Are you kidding me?
Lin Feng was speechless.
In his eyes this iron-grade item was trash.
He, after all, can copy the iron grade recruitment order ten thousand times. Which guaranteed a hundred percent highly talented subjects.
Which meant with a wave of hand he could summon ten thousand highly talented people, although it would be a bit costly.
"If I knew this, I wouldn't have synthesized it."
Lin Feng wanted to cry but no tears came out.
In the end he could only swallow his regret and continue lurking in chat.
There were many lords he was interested in, especially that Gao Yan, who seems to know everything. His information was probably related to his talent.
But since Gao Yan didn't clarify, he could only guess.
There was one more lord who attracted his attention most and it was a beauty named Zhu Ruolan.
She did not appear in chat even once but everyone knew her, as she posted a terrifying trade in the trade section.
It was a crossbow. And bronze grade at that.
Lin Feng wanted it very much; however, the beauty was not accepting any basic resources. She wanted something equivalent.
What should he do? Offer his life?
Pah! He wasn't a simp.
Maybe he should take her in?
Various crooked thoughts flashed in his head.
Meanwhile, the chat channel continued to explode, with many trying to guess which lord upgraded their shelter to level 5.
Some even thought it might be Zhu Ruolan, as she acquired bronze-grade equipment. However, it was just a guess.
Compared to the regional channel, the world channel was even more lively. Every second countless messages flashed, some cursing each other, some showing off their talent, subjects, and so on.
Lin Feng had nothing to do with this commotion.
He just silently made a trade request for food.
[Buying Food at a Premium Price]
[Interested lords, please send an offer. Don't try to scam me or try to hike the price infinitely. I am not hungry; I just want to stock up on some food. I am willing to exchange it for wood and stone.]
Send!
After posting, he looked at the dilapidated wooden house.
He had upgraded his territory but not the wooden house. There was no reason to do this so he did not hesitate and pulled up the lord's house panel.
He was just about to tap upgrade, when.
[Ding! Lord Zhu Ruolan has sent you a trade request.]
