Chapter 54: Chapter 53: Surprise of the Desert Bees
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
If Richard recruited all the new troops, the number of soldiers in his hands would explosively increase.
Bandaged Mummy could recruit 21; Poisonous Scorpion Warrior could recruit 7; Cursed Pharaoh could recruit 5; Axe of the Dead could recruit 5, and Guardian Pharaoh Mummy could recruit 30.
The total would be 68!!
There were nearly seven teams.
It was a massive amount of money.
Richard took a lot of effort to suppress the excitement in his heart.
However, to recruit all 68 troops, he needed a lot of resources.
The Bandaged Mummy recruitment requirements were 40 gold coins, 40 units of wood, and 40 units of stone.
Twenty-one were gold coins, wood, and stone with 1640 units each, for a total of 4920 units of resources.
The Poisonous Scorpion Warrior recruitment requirements were 40 gold coins, 40 units of wood, and 40 units of iron ore.
That would be 7, for a total of 840 units of resources.
The Cursed Pharaoh would be 5, for a total of 600 units.
The Axe of the Dead would be 5, for 6000 units.
And the Guardian Pharaoh Mummy, 30, for 3600 units.
These would total 15,650.
After some calculations, Richard could not help but sigh. No wonder people said that money builds troops.
Five rare-level undead soldiers consumed 6,000 units of resources, which was two-thirds of the total resources of all the other branches of the troop.
Just a few dozen branches of the troop were already so expensive. In the future, when the ranks of the branches are higher, the prices will be even more exaggerated.
However, he was still a tycoon with 120,000 units of resources, so he was not worried at all.
Richard stood up and left happily. He recruited all the new troops.
After he spent 15,000 units of resources, his strength soared.
Bandaged Mummy — 51.
Poisonous Scorpion Warrior — 20.
Cursed Pharaoh — 15
Axe of the Dead — 15
Guardian Pharaoh Mummy– 90.
The total number of soldiers had reached 191, close to two squadrons.
“In the future, when we go out to hunt, we can leave behind all the bandaged and guardian mummies.
“This power is enough to ensure the safety of Twilight City.”
The pressure in Richard’s heart relaxed quite a bit.
He set aside the troop that stayed behind. The number of soldiers brought out to scan the map had also reached five squadrons.
The strength of the iron mine soared further.
“I can go and try to raid the medium-sized gold mine tomorrow. I wonder if I can still obtain some treasures like treasure maps after killing those half-metal giants with full defense.”
The rapid growth of his strength brought Richard one step closer to raiding those high-level maps.
The one-way portal’s 1-star dungeon with an average strength of rare level;
The 2-star treasure map obtained from attacking the Axe of the Dead;
The Dark Temple, which the terrifying temple guards protected;
And the level 15 desert dragon that he had seen near the one-way portal.
These high-level maps did not have powerful troops, so it would be a waste if he went. However, Twilight City had the right to explore it.
In the desert, countless mysteries were waiting for him to uncover.
With anticipation and excitement, Richard fell asleep peacefully.
He woke up at ten the next day.
After he woke, the plump kitchen maid immediately sent hot water to help him wash up.
Richard slept until he woke up naturally with someone to serve him 24 hours a day. This was his original dream.
His dream came true now that he had come to this world.
“In the future, I’ll have to find a few elves or beast-eared maidens to be maids.”
Black silk high heels, short skirts, and maid attire are all dressed. The life of a Lord should be so simple and unadorned…”
“It seems like I can try out all the ideas I failed to realize in the past. There are no laws in this world…”
After Richard lamented about the decaying life of a Lord and looked forward to an even more decaying life in the future, he had breakfast with two cheerful kitchen maids and was ready to go out to scan the map.
But before that, he first went to the Russian olive forest because Karu said it had bloomed.
The olive forest occupied an essential area in his farming industry, a vital link to ecology.
Richard came to the green olive forest, his eyes full of surprise.
On the endless yellow sand, the fragrant scent of the Russian olive flowers assailed his nose amidst the dark green leaves.
A few days ago, the flower buds were extremely rare, but now, the forest was full of flowers.
What particularly caught his eyes was that the Rusian olive flowers sprouted not only single but seven colors.
Rainbow-colored flowers floated at a glance in the green and dripping forest.
Countless black and yellow bees buzzed and danced, picked flowers, and smelled honey.
This scene looked magnificently beautiful.
Even more remarkable was that the olive forest around was filled with yellow sand, which represented death and desolation.
It was in this forbidden land of life that such beautiful flowers bloomed.
The feeling was indescribable. This place seemed to have represented hope and vitality.
A few residents who managed the olive forest immediately bowed when they saw Richard.
“Good day, Lord Richard.”
Richard smiled.
“You’ve done a good job.”
Then, he seemed to remember something and frowned.
“Have those poisonous wasps been here lately?”
The leader was a fat middle-aged woman. Her chubby face looked like two halves of a red apple.
Her voice was fast and sharp.
“Lord Richard, those wasps are so hateful. They come to catch bees every day!
“And sometimes, they can come seven or eight times a day. If you hadn’t told us not to do anything, we would have killed those wasps…”
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Those highly poisonous wasps can easily poison ten camels. Don’t provoke them.”
“Then, are we just going to let them bully us like this?”
The fat middle-aged woman was furious, and her bulging face became round to a greater degree.
“I’ll think of a way to solve this matter…”
Richard earnestly reminded them. “Remember, if you don’t want to enter the Land of Glory the next day, don’t mess with them.”
“Yes, Lord…”
When they saw Richard’s sincerity, the few residents didn’t dare to say anything. Only the fat middle-aged woman was indignant. She mumbled that she wanted to find a way to punish those poisonous wasps.
Richard waved his hand and dismissed the few people. He walked into the olive forest alone.
A unique fragrance assailed his nostrils, which made him feel instantly refreshed.
The desert bees were joyous now that flowers were around.
Their legs were covered with pollen when they flew back to the hive.
A few bees would approach and be intimate with him from time to time.
He was in a good mood because of the lively scene.
To be able to create such a bright-colored scene in the desert gave him a sense of accomplishment.
He went to the front of the hive and opened the attribute panel.
