Jamie had expected to have a bit of reputation among players since he was part of the 7 lords who found legendary village orders, but he had not expected to have that kind of influence.
In less than 3 minutes his post in the market got over 3000 comments .
“ Brother venerable, huge fan ! If I find any poison potions ill donate it to you for free “
“ Brother Venerable you’re incredible, even though you were the seventh one to find the legendary village you have already made many world announcements , this is what I call a PRO”
At first he wanted to play it cool but he couldn’t hide the fact that he enjoyed this.
In real life he was a cripple unable to speak that was dragged around by his uncle. Even the fact that he was the son of the previous patriarch earned him no respect or pity.
Seeing that people liked him gave him happiness and joy that he hadn’t felt for quite some time !
He continued to read the comments and highlighted the word ‘ poison ‘ and ‘sale’ to find out something that could be of use.
“ Hello Sir, I don’t know whether you would be interested in something like this but I stumbled across some worms who made a ‘ den ‘ inside a large tree .
Since they were weak I killed them all and the game awarded me the worm den creation order , check out the stats !
PS :Since they are pretty weak in combat I have no use for them so I should like to sell this for 1 silver coin ( I can go lower if its too much) “
Name : Basic Guland Worms Den
Spawns 5 Guland Worms daily
F Class Species ( non combatants)
Skills : Toxin Miasma
“ Corrode small areas by releasing a colourless and tasteless toxin , their own flesh serves as the antidote “
Even though Jamie already had collected 3 gold , he knew how hard to come by money was this early in the game so he wasn’t surprised by the cheap price .
Only 1% of the players could slay boss monsters and get gold coins after all .
He clicked purchase and paid 3 silver coins for it , then he shared the purchase as a public post .
“ I know how hard money is to come by this early in the game, so I wont take advantage of you just because you are in need of coins , 3 silver is what the den is worth . Contact me for future transactions”
He first thought he sounded cringe by faking politeness but public opinion was a dangerous thing . If the public hated you they could be swayed by your enemies into inconveniencing you . He also wanted people to know that he pays well and sell their rare finds to him .
Once the post and transaction were finished, a pink gate the size of his hand appeared and dropped a round stone light bronze in colour.
After confirming the stats were as advertised, he went to place the den inside the largest tree that he could spot nearby .

“ This den spawns 5 worms daily, but we will wait till they are about 30 to 35 worms before we take action “
“What are worms going to do lord? “
“They release poison which will help us defeat the lizardmen “
Ralph was ‘ huffing and puffing ‘ .
“ There is no honour in poison , its just a trick not fit for warriors “
“ Sometimes Ralph, you just need to shut up “
Just like Jamie and Pompei, even Eveline was fed up with his ‘ warrior behaviour ‘
“ But lord, wont the Lizardmen Village spawn more warriors? “
“ So will our village Pompei, and our village is legendary while theirs was just medium quality village . At most theirs can spawn 1 daily or 1 every 2 days “
His casual behaviour somehow managed to calm down the highly scared old man .
“ In the meantime , Eveline will be managing things since soon I’ll have to to back to my world and get some sleep “
It had already been 3 days since he joined the game which means it should be around 11 pm IRL ( in real life )
“ Lord, are you planning to abandon us “
“ Of course not, but my real body is there and it needs food and rest , don’t worry I’ll only be gone for 1 day “
Since he had basically been laying inside the game pod all day he didn’t use any body energy, which meant that his body would only need 5 hours of sleep ( less than 1 IGD - in game days )
“ The village will spawn 3 more villagers tomorrow, if they are S class just leave them be and wait for me to assign them duties .
If their class is C and above have them change their profession to Heavy Spearmen , if their class is lower turn them into miners. “
He gave the monster cores to Ralph and only kept the 2 strongest bear cores to absorb for himself , and then he proceeded to instruct Pompei on a few other things .
“ Put researching the Fishing skill on hold, I want you to first write copies of the Battle Aura skill that I use “
“ Good choice lord, it should aid our soldiers in battle”
He thought of something else and added.
“ Ralph was supposed to bring 2 baby bears , try keeping them alive and start researching this Taming skill too .
We might need to use them later “
He checked 3 more times if things were okay before deciding to log off .
He was still a bit scared of coming back and finding his village raided and his men killed , he just hoped that the Lizardmen wont catch wind of what he was doing .
** Knock Knock **
“ Young Master Cripple, open the door before i smash it “
“ Don’t be stupid Jason you will really get us in trouble “
** Kick **
The door was forcibly opened and Jamie had to ‘ fake his crippleness ‘ .
Even though you needed to be a stage 2 before you could use energy in real life, he had already regained his health and was no longer a cripple .
“ Jason are you stupid, don’t include me in your risky plans “
“ Don’t worry man, I have already found a Basic Grade Village order, I am a lord and have servants there as well , third elder will value me more than this trash soon .
He walked closer to Jamie who was yet to remove himself from the game pod, and spit on his face .
“ Did you have fun playing, young master trash ? “
He grabbed his hair and started shaking his head until he started to feel dizzy .
“ Haha , aren’t you a nobody little bitch .
I can even force you trash to suck my dick if I want “
He really wanted to just hit the bastard with Swift Bullet and drop him dead, but he couldn’t use energy yet .
He also didn’t want to reveal himself !
Third Uncle had many martial artists as servants with real guns, he could even mobilise the army through the family connections.
He needs to reach stage 3 warrior before making any moves. .
Seeing as Jamie wasn’t giving him any reaction, Jason soon lost interest and threw the food on the ground .
“ Eat, we cant have our dearest young master trash die before I take his place as the young patriarch. I’ll let you miserable cripple witness all my success “
** Let me Gooo *
Everyone’s attention was at the door , it sounded like someone was being detained by force .
“ Jason, its that bitch again .
She tried to kill third elder “
Jason opened the door and 4 well build men were dragging away a 19 year old girl by the hair , her clothes were all torn up but even this state didn’t ruin her beauty .
For a split second, the girl’s eyes met Jamie’s ‘ lifeless ‘ stare , tears were running down her left cheek .
She gave Jamie a look who looked like a plead of help, but he couldn’t help her .
At least not yet !
