Chapter 7: You Have to Work If You Want To Eat
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The three foolish farmers looked at the bloody wolf corpse and almost drooled.
Zong Shen frowned and ignored their flattery. He walked behind them and raised his leg to kick each of them in the butt.
He kicked the three of them to the ground.
“Ouch!”
“Lord… Lord, please spare me.”
The three foolish farmers knew why Zong Shen had kicked them and immediately shouted guiltily.
“Hmph, the three of you didn’t come when you were killing wolves. But you are very eager when it comes to eating meat.”
“When you were running for your lives, you had even forgotten about the task of collecting resources.”
“Tell me, what do I need you for?!”
Zong Shen said coldly.
In his opinion, these three foolish farmers were not stupid at all. They sought benefits and avoided harm. Their escaping skills were top-notch.
If they were stupid, they would be dumb in working.
They were slow and silly.
They were not stupid in other aspects.
This was the classic example of someone who could not do anything and was the best at eating.
Therefore, Zong Shen was holding his breath in anger.
In addition, he had just killed the Grassland wolf. He was fully armed and had a murderous look on his face.
This made the three foolish farmers not dare to look Zong Shen in the eye.
They could only maintain their posture after falling down as they pleaded and said good words.
However, these three silly farmers were also the only labor force that could be used in the early stages.
It was impossible for Zong Shen to really banish them.
Now that this happened, he could only give a lecture.
As the saying goes, a big stick is given to a date.
“You three can speak for yourselves.”
“How should I punish you guys today?”
Zong Shen paced back and forth behind the three foolish farmers.
The rusty single-handed sword in his hand was dragged on the ground. The soil and grass were cut by the tip of the sword, making a rustling sound.
“Lord, please forgive us this time…!”
“We will definitely fight alongside you next time!”
“I’ll go pick up the tools and resources I lost!”
The three silly farmers started pleading again.
Zong Shen’s head was about to explode.
He couldn’t wait to strike each of them with his sword.
In the end, he could only sigh.
“Aye.”
“Get up and get to work.”
“Iron Pole, you stay.”
“Second Dog, Eggface, both of you bring back the lost tools immediately. If anything is missing, you’ll starve today!”
“After finding the tools, immediately resume harvesting. I want all five resources – wood, iron, textile, food, water, and the more the better!”
“If you continue to play tricks, all of you shall scram and wander in the wilderness!”
Zong Shen stuck the single-handed sword into the grass.
“Yes, yes, yes… We won’t do it again!”
“Let’s get to work, let’s go!”
The three silly farmers quickly got up.
At the same time, three system prompts appeared at the bottom right corner.
[Because of your stern rebuke.]
[Farmer Iron Pole’s Loyalty to you has increased by 3 points. Current Loyalty Level: 78]
[Farmer Second Dog’s Loyalty to you has increased by 3 points. Current Loyalty Level: 78]
[Farmer Eggface’s Loyalty to you has increased by 3 points. Current Loyalty Level: 78]
Zong Shen looked at the notification and understood some details.
The three foolish farmers rose fearfully.
Under Zong Shen’s watchful eyes, Second Dog and Eggface started searching along the route they took when they were escaping.
Iron Pole stood respectfully behind Zong Shen, not daring to move.
The place where they gathered resources was not far from the small courtyard. It was only 100 meters away.
Therefore, it was not difficult to retrieve the lost tools.
After teaching the three farmers a lesson and experiencing the authority of a lord, Zong Shen shifted his gaze to the wolf corpse on the ground and the mysterious scroll.
These were his spoils of war.
When his gaze was completely focused on the wolf corpse.
A striking choice appeared before him.
[Decomposition]
He clicked on [Decomposition].
Instantly, the entire wolf corpse turned into a ball of white light.
[Decomposing the Grassland Wolf’s corpse x1]
[Obtained Fresh Wolf Meat x10]
(A delicious meat that can satisfy hunger)
[Obtained Fresh Wolf Blood x500ml]
(Fresh blood that is hard to swallow, perhaps you can use it to set bait traps or supplement water resources)
[Obtained Hard Grassland Wolf Skull x1]
(Hard skulls can be used to make simple helmets and increase the protection of the head)
[Obtained Grassland Wolf Bones x15]
(The tough bones of wolves, one of the original materials, can be used to make some simple armor or weapons)
[Obtained Sharp Wolf Fang x2]
(These two wolf fangs are very sharp and can be easily modified into bolts)
[Obtained a complete piece of Grassland Wolf Skin x1]
(A complete set of Grassland Wolf Skin, a very good leather material. Of course, if you sell it to fur merchants or Avalon’s nobles, you can make a small profit.)
After a series of notifications.
The body of the wolf scattered like fireworks.
It transformed into six different balls of light that landed on the ground.
These six balls of light were the six items that had been broken down.
All the items became shrunken squares.
Even the wolf blood had become a small cube.
Zong Shen reached out and put them all into his personal storage compartment.
It was very convenient.
He focused his attention on the [Sharp Wolf Fang] and selected one.
The next moment, a wolf fang as long as three knuckles appeared in his hand.
This function was very convenient and useful.
However, according to the nature of this Lord’s survival, with such a vague introduction, and the fact that other players did not have a strategy system, they probably had to take many detours.
Although he could guess it based on common sense.
However, there were many details that were easily missed or delayed.
He looked at the wolf fang in his hand. It was unexpectedly sharp.
Zong Shen lowered his head and looked at the tattered leather short-sleeved shirt on his body. It was unlikely to effectively block the penetration of this wolf fang.
Zong Shen clicked his tongue in wonder.
“Does this wolf usually use a horn mill to pick its teeth…”
With a thought, he put away Wolf Fang again.
Items of the same kind can be stacked and stored, so Zong Shen’s storage compartment still had many empty slots.
“Iron Pole, do you want to eat grilled meat?”
Zong Shen picked up the scroll on the ground.
He suddenly asked.
“Yes, of course!”
Iron Pole swallowed, as if he had already imagined the wonderful experience of the fragrant grilled meat being chewed in his mouth.
“Very good. Then I’ll leave our Level-1 stove to you.”
“10 stones, 5 pieces of wood.”
“Also, the construction will take another two hours.”
“When it’s completed, it will be the time we eat. If you work hard, we should be able to make it in time for dinner.”
Zong Shen patted him on the shoulder and pointed at the trees and stones that were scattered nearby.
“Oh right, tell those two idiots that they have to work if they want to eat.”
“Today, each person must collect at least 15 portions of wood, 8 portions of stone, and 5 portions of textile. Otherwise, they won’t need to eat anymore!”
