After getting familiar with the village buildings and the 6 current villagers, Jamie remembered he was yet to open the enigma chest and the rest of the rewards .
“ Heavy Spearmen and Admiral Token ? They sound tough but isn’t an Admiral a general of sea battlefields ? “
“This island where we are located is only a small one despite its size, basically this entire continent is a giant never-ending sea. The sea is our opportunity and future”
“ I agree with the lord, but I dont think Ralph is fit to lead in any battlefield lord .
He may lead small groups of soldiers but he cant really Lead thousands of troops and implement battle tactics. He is just a hothead musclehead irresponsible ruffian , no offence “
“ none take “ replied Ralph unbothered !
“ leading troops sounds like no fun at all, I don’t want to order people to fight . I want to be the one who does the fighting “
Jamie had already started to participate in conversations and banter with them, he felt like they had known each other for years.
He opened the chest and the big box with a question mark engraved , exploded and released dark smoke .
“ Quick lord tell us what did you get “
“ intermediate Fishing” skill Manual ( Growth Type )
5% chance of catching something rare
“ 25 Fishing Rods “ D Quality
“ Evengarde “ ( Soul- Bound )
** This item cannot be equipped , current usage conditions not met .
Details ( hidden ) **
“ Huh ? I think I got something good .
Old man can you try to use appraisal on it ? “
Pompei took the ring and tried .
After attempting it for 3 times he said .
“ The only thing I got is this sentence “
** Previously bound to the Monarch of Earth **
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
“ Monarch of earth? Never heard of him but he sounds important. We gotta wait and see then “
He probably needed to reach a higher warrior stage before putting it on .
“ We only have one Fishing skill manual so I need you to make more copies “
“ Old Pompei obeys the lord “
He took the manual and got straight to it .
“Smart decision lord, the population will grow by 3 every single day and we might need to fish for food soon “
Ralph who normally didn’t engage in this serious talks and boring conversations , decided to speak !
“ But wont the villagers get attacked by monsters? They have to cross the jungle in order to reach the sea “
Ralph was correct, the island was small compared to the others but it was still large enough to build a large city in it .
Only normal farmers will chose to become fishermen after all, they wont have the physical prowess needed to survive that jungle .
“ To reach this place I had to cross the jungle, due to my visual skill i avoided almost all beasts . I also found a lake 15 minutes walk from here, if we clear the monsters along the way it will secure their safety “
Their territory was safe due to their vilage stat which scared monsters nearby, but it didnt mean that the island was safe .
On the contrary, it use super dangerous!
Beasts were one thing, no matter their strength they had no intelligence and could be beaten by tricks and tactics.
But what about the outlander habitants of the island? Jamie knew of the Nagas who lived closest to sea, the body of snakes and face of a human . They were known for their stealth and assassination skills .
There were also goblins, kobolds, orcs lizardmen and ogres .
Jamie had to plan long and well !
Ralph on the other hand was already fired up, he had been itching for a fight all day .
The more Jamie talked of different species and tribes , the mor excited he got .
“ but will fishing be our only source of food lord? Shouldn’t we find edibles to plant and cultivate? “
She had a point but Jamie had already thought in advance .
For the first 2 weeks the game had the store option, where you could buy and sell things from the other players using in game coins .
Once he opened the store he already saw posts like
** selling D- rank Sutra “ Lion of 9 Suns “
Price : 10 silver
** selling the method on how to absorb monster cores which increase your energy . ( Price: 10 copper )
This post had the following comments
“ nice try peepsqueek do you think we are dumb “
“Dude we watch anime too you know “
“You just need to swallow the thing lol, stop scamming people you loser get a life“
Food and Seeds for farming had not shown up yet but with billions of players playing, Jamie was sure someone was bound to sell some sooner or later!
“ The food wont be a problem, you have my word . Our biggest problem will be the pirates ! “
“The pirates ? What do you mean lord “
“ they are basically sea bandits, they raid people on sea or stop by their island .
They are outlaws and they are a potential threat to our expansion “
Jamie went on to explain how pirates operated and certain countermeasures.
Sure they didn’t even have 10 villagers currently but as the lord Jamie knew that he needs to show off his vision of the future .
He wanted to pass this kind of mentality to them, to always aim high .
In his past life he only had a normal grade village but still raised enough troops to conquer a large city.
This time, shouldn’t he aim to be a king ?
