[1-200] LORD OF THE WORLD: I BECOME THE LORD OF THE DESERT FROM THE START

Chapter 20: Envious Players

“And there’s only one piece of the spring water fragment. How can I get the other two pieces?”

“It’s typically not realistic to open the treasure chest by myself… I still have to buy it from other players.”

As Richard’s thoughts spun, he had an idea.

“Under the premise of ensuring the consumption of Twilight City, I can take out a portion of the food in exchange for the spring water fragment. I can start planting the 10 mu Russian olive seeds as soon as possible…”

“A Russian olive seed that can steadily produce food is greatly significant to Twilight City since it is in the desert.”

The desert was not a fertile place. Stable food production was not a guarantee.

Twilight City could not always rely on hunting to solve the food problem.

Hunting was fine when the population was small, but when the population grew to 3 – 4 thousand, or even tens of thousands, how many preys did they have to hunt every day to be satisfied?

If the territory wanted to develop, they had to farm.

After Richard made the decision, he asked someone to call Karu.

Without waiting for Karu to bow, Richard immediately asked.

“Karu, after today’s prey is processed, we have how many total units of food left?”

Karu’s slightly turbid eyes looked directly at Richard. His voice was old and steady.

“Lord Richard, after today’s prey is processed, there are still 1,300 units of meat, including the 3,200 units in the warehouse. So, there is still a total of 4,500 units of meat left.”

“However, drying these fresh meats into dried meats will cause too much damage.”

“Initially, we still have 500 units of coarse wheat left…”

“All the food added together can support the territory’s consumption for half a month. If we save some, we can last for 20 days.”

Richard’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Half a month’s worth of inventory was far from enough for a territory. The ability to resist risks was too weak.

However, in the early stages, where opportunities were precious, there was no need to save so much. A portion was enough for development.

Ten days’ worth of buffering was enough.

After having a plan in mind, Richard immediately got up and went to the warehouse of the mansion…

All the resources in Twilight City were in the warehouse.

Karu also arranged for a few people to guard it day and night.

Richard took 1,000 units of fresh meat from the warehouse and posted the information for a reward in the reward column of the [Trading Market].

[One thousand units of raw meat reward resource treasure: Spring water or spring water fragments x2.]

This information immediately appeared in first and second place in the reward area.

The reward column ranked items according to their corresponding value.

The system determined that his 1,000 units of fresh meat were worth more than all the items put up for reward.

In such a large [Trading Market], there were countless rewards.

However, it was the first time he had seen a meat item on the reward list using food. Furthermore, it was 1,000 units of meat.

These caused many lords who were short of food to be so envious that their eyes turned red.

They quickly started discussing in the [Forum Chat].

[I just saw that a big shot called Qing Qiu posted 1,000 units of meat just to exchange for a trash item. For what do you think this spring water fragment is? The water in my territory is flowing out every day…]

[I can’t afford it!!! Why only exchange for a treasure? Ahhhhh! 1,000 units of meat. I can let the residents of my territory eat for 10 days. A bowl of meat soup every day. Won’t they die of beauty?!]

[More people are dying than others! One thousand units of meat in one go. This is just the beginning… Who is so generous?]

[This is the first time I’ve seen such a tycoon. What kind of life is this big shot called Qing Qiu leading?!]

[Why is there someone who has so much food at this stage?? I’m not convinced!! Why can I only eat porridge today…]

These two messages immediately caused several players experiencing a shortage of food to wail.

When they were still worried about food, someone had brought so much food and meat in exchange for a piece of spring water fragment, a treasure that was trash to the rest. It simply made them envious…
