Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing From a Rundown Yard

Chapter 438 The Second Night of Winter, a Forgotten Surprise 【Subscribe】

This is the second night after entering the Winter Challenge.

Cold climates can make people sleepy.

At this time, more sleep time is needed to store energy for the body.

The two women first came to the long table to report the situation to Zong Shen.

After informing Zong Shen that the soldiers were safely returned to the living quarters.

They just started to move freely.

Vereesa sat down on the chair in the living room with a little tiredness.

After Luna saw the busy scene in the kitchen, she was completely exhausted.

After simply washing his hands, he couldn't wait to enter the kitchen.

Cooking is her little hobby that has only recently been lit up. By cooking delicious food for her loved ones, Luna not only passes the time, but also obtains spiritual satisfaction.

So now Luna is very attentive to things like cooking.

She had just walked into the kitchen, and before she had time to intervene, she suddenly remembered something.

Then he quickly walked out of the kitchen and walked towards Vereesa who was sitting in the living room.

After whispering a few words in her ear.

He dragged Veresa into his arms and walked into the kitchen together.

This makes the kitchen a lot more lively.

Zong Shen just glanced at it silently, and then withdrew his gaze.

Doris is obviously cooking for the first time, because Zong Shen can hear Mariel teaching her some common sense about cooking from time to time.

It's a pity that Tasia and Aishia, the two meditation madmen, did not return to rest.

After Aishia advanced to become the fourth-order Holy Light Deacon, Tasia started some kind of competition with her.

All the free time every day is used to go to the [Magic Palace] to meditate and practice.

To do everything possible to improve their attributes and strength.

There is an upper limit to the improvement of meditation practice, with 24 hours as an attribute cycle.

After the accumulation reaches ten cycles, the upper limit is reached.

Both of them have now accumulated three cycles of attribute improvement.

The root cause of this competition is the incompatibility between the Holy Light and the Necronomicon.

When Aishia was first recruited, the first meeting between the two girls ended in a quarrel.

Zong Shen still had a fresh memory of this, and he continued to stumble and stumble later.

Fortunately, after getting along for this period of time, Zong Shen deliberately adjusted from it.

The relationship between the two women has become a lot more harmonious, and at least they have become more normal partners.

However, although the quarrels and hostility on the surface are gone, the competition in the dark has never stopped, and both sides want to overwhelm the other in terms of strength.

The current situation is that Tasia is temporarily at a disadvantage.

After all, Aishia is already fourth-order, and Tasia is only third-order.

For this kind of healthy competition, Zong Shen naturally would not object. Anyway, Tasia and Aishia, no matter who is stronger or weaker, are one of the leading figures in Zong Shen's magistrates.

He was sitting in a chair emptying his thoughts, the second night of winter was almost the same as the first night, lazy and tired.

Just now Zong Shen checked the [Regional Channel] for a while.

The situation in the area was found to be relatively peaceful.

According to the statement, about one-fifth of the lords claimed to have been attacked by yeti monsters.

This data is not accurate and should only be used as a reference.

At the same time, the number of survivors in the upper area decreased by 192 today.

The winter snow monster's activity time increases as night approaches.

There should be more snow monsters starting to break into the territory.

Tonight is not destined to be too peaceful for some lords.

But these things have little to do with our Zong.

The nearby Winter Snow Monster, which was relatively close to the territory, was almost completely killed by him.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be snow monsters wandering in again tonight.

The territory of the legion members is also in the nearby area, and they may not necessarily be attracted by someone from other sects.

After thinking about the members of the legion, Zong Shen suddenly remembered the countdown that appeared in the [Legion] that morning when he stayed in Baron Bezos' castle.

There are still more than 60 hours left in that countdown.

It is about two and a half days, just after the end of the winter challenge.

According to the notes at the bottom of the system, after the countdown is over, the Legion 1.1 version rules will be activated.

I don't know exactly what adjustments will be made.

Zong Shen is no stranger to the adjustment of the rules of the lord system.

As the mysterious existence leading the coming of the lords, the lord system will adjust the rules in various aspects according to the general development progress of the lords.

to adapt to new situations at different stages of development.

In fact, the previous legion rules did not keep up with the form.

Especially since only lords within the territory level can be recruited.

It made Zong Shen want to complain.

This rule not only shackles the promotion of legion members, but also affects the development of the territory itself.

That is, the exclusivity of the territory cannot be guaranteed.

This is related to the total area of ​​the area and the number of surviving lords.

Within an eight-kilometer radius of Zongshen's territory, there were dozens of lords.

It was an embarrassing situation, albeit within the rules and circumstances of when it first came.

But there are contradictions hidden, these lords existing in the range will eventually hinder the expansion of the territory.

The solution that Zong Shen had previously envisaged for a center, supplemented by multiple supply points, was actually very difficult.

These dozens of lords must also maintain continuous development, and a few hundred square kilometers of land is simply not enough.

Regarding this point, it is very likely that the lord system will have follow-up adjustments.

If there is no adjustment, then Zong Shen can only adopt a gentle annexation method, and merge these lords into his own system to form a new node.

Just the [Legion] function can be used as a good link.

The specific situation can only be considered and arranged until the specific time.

At least for now, these potential contradictions will not appear in the short term.

This problem is not just Zong Shen's problem.

It is not just the problem of the legion commander, but the problem of every lord.

Zong Shen did not believe that the lord system was unaware of this, and there would definitely be new rule changes in the future.

After a lot of thinking, the chattering kitchen finally quieted down.

Under Mariel's guidance, dishes with fragrant smells were brought to the table.

There are more people staying overnight, so the amount and variety of dishes are also more abundant than the night before.

The territories are increasingly stocked with ingredients, and so are the dishes.

From the earliest roasted wolf meat to bear broth, and now a delicious and hearty dinner.

The changes that have taken place are obvious.

Mariel has some culinary experience, though not quite a junior chef rating.

But it is also much stronger than those female warriors who do not touch the spring water with both hands.

The cooked dishes have no tricks and no attribute buffs.

But it is still delicious, at least it can satisfy the taste buds while filling the stomach.

In front of everyone was a bowl of piping hot oatmeal with cane sugar and a small glass of spirits.

This carefully cooked multigrain porridge looks thick and thick.

The unique aroma of grains comes with the rising heat.

In addition to the oatmeal sweet porridge, there are also simple heated sausages and hard bread cooked to softness by the steamer on the table.

And one serving of rum-baked pork with special mushroom sauce.

These are the fruits of the busy women in the kitchen.

Everyone sat up straight, waiting for Zong Shen to start.

As the lord here, he is the real master.

Zong Shen wasn't really bothered by such pedantic rules.

But this is also the most basic kind of etiquette in this world.

When the original territory is poor and white, you don't need to care about the pre-dinner ceremony.

But now as living conditions get better and better, some etiquette will be inevitable.

Zong Shen picked up the small wine glass filled with spirits and held it up to the height of the tip of his nose.

"Cheers for the territory."

...

"cheers…"

The girls also raised their glasses to respect each other from a distance, Zong Shen nodded slightly, and drank the glass of spirits.

With a strong burning taste, the wine flowed from his mouth, through his esophagus, and finally into his stomach.

His body quickly warmed up, and a warm current began to spread.

With his current strong physique, he will not be stimulated by alcohol.

Judging by the taste, this drink should be the rum he originally opened from the black iron treasure chest.

After drinking the aperitif, Zong Shen put down the wine glass and picked up the wooden spoon beside him.

I started scooping the porridge one by one, and after a little air cooling, I put it into my mouth.

The oatmeal tastes good, with some cane sugar sweetness.

The cooking is very thick and thick, and every oat grain is boiled to a soft rottenness.

The heavy feeling of fullness made Zong Shen feel very comfortable.

After drinking half the bowl of oatmeal, he picked up another whole sausage.

The reddish-brown surface has a slightly oily sheen.

The sausage was a little warm, and the stuffed meat almost burst through the casing.

The look of these sausages is simply tempting.

Zong Shen knew at a glance that they did not belong to the food produced in the territory.

It is estimated that it came from the procurement of materials in the village.

Because the way of handling food in the territory is still relatively rough.

Such is the case with those frighteningly salty jerky, for example.

All of them were made from the animal meat from before. The method of pickling was very simple, and it tasted salty.

Zong Shen stared at the big sausage in his hand, and sniffed lightly.

Putting it in his mouth and taking a big bite,

With the lips and teeth bite through the thin and elastic casing.

The fat and gravy released by heating fill the mouth instantly.

The rich texture of the meat gives enough elastic feedback in each chew.

The sausage was slightly salty, with some aromas of black pepper and basil leaves.

It tastes delicious, and the ingredients of these sausages are also very solid, which can quickly satisfy satiety requirements.

"Um...that's a good batch of sausages."

"Do you know where you got it from?"

Zong Shen ate the whole sausage in threes and fives.

After swallowing the last mouthful of satisfaction, he asked softly.

Mariel, who was sitting on the side, responded quickly.

"My lord, this batch of sausages comes from the village of Sitano."

"As a village with a relatively developed breeding industry, there are many processing workshops in the village."

"Meat products such as bacon, cured meat, dried meat, sausages are also important commodities for the village."

Zong Shen nodded lightly, picked up the porridge bowl that had begun to cool, and drank the oatmeal.

When he put down the porridge bowl, he looked at Mariel casually.

"Maryl, after the end of winter, you can go back to Sitano Village first."

"Give him the money promised to your father."

"At the same time, let him think of a way to relocate a meat processing plant while planning the construction of the ranch."

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Mariel silently kept it in her heart and nodded her head.

This incident was just a small episode, and Zong Shen didn't care about it.

Through the relationship of Master Mars, he will continue to let Sitano Village transfuse blood into the territory.

Zong Shen quickly finished his dinner and sat in a chair casually.

His mind was immersed in the storage compartment and the [Dragon Turtle's Thick Leather Backpack].

Half of the 104 storage compartments have been occupied.

There are not only various sundries, but also spare weapons and equipment and materials and props with different functions.

Among them, the dragon turtle backpack also stores some supplies.

Backpack and carry-on storage compartment are two different storage interfaces.

Compared with the carry-on storage compartment, unless the storage compartment is not enough, Zong Shen rarely checks the backpack.

Most of his belongings are also in the storage compartment.

Just gotta sort it out tonight.

When he opened the backpack storage interface, he saw two treasure chests.

"Why are there still treasure chests?"

Zong Shen was stunned, he didn't even remember when he got these two treasure chests.

He got up, came to the empty space in the living room, and waved the treasure chests out.

One is a bronze treasure chest, the other is a silver treasure chest, and neither of the two treasure chests has any problems.

Staring at these two treasure chests, Zong Shen thought for a while, and finally remembered where they came from.

This was a few days ago. Zong Shen used the shape-shifting potion to change into Sapphire's appearance, sneaked into the Bone Buried Dark Fort excavated by the Church of Calamity Ravens, and found it in the corner of the tunnel of the dark fort.

Because the incident in Odo Village was too intense, as soon as he left the ruins, he went to the hero to save the beauty non-stop.

In addition, the portable storage compartment at that time was full of various emergency items and resources.

So these two treasure chests were put into the backpack storage compartment.

This caused them to be forgotten for several days.

This is a bronze treasure chest plus a silver treasure chest!

Someone in his sect actually said that he would forget it.

If this matter spreads out, it will definitely make those ordinary lords vomit blood with envy.

Treasure chests are only distributed in ruins everywhere or in some special places.

It’s been nearly half a month since it landed, and some lords haven’t opened the treasure chest yet.

There are almost no guys like Zong Shen who open treasure chests to the point of numbness.

"really not bad."

"It was an unexpected surprise."

Zong Shen remembered the cause and effect, and a smile appeared on his face.

It's like suddenly remembering a deposit that I forgot.

There is an inexplicable sense of joy.

The silver treasure chest can open up to rare items.

In fact, he doesn't care much about rare things.

But that didn't stop Zong Shen's love for unboxing.
