1053: iron ore

“If Vog Country citizens come to question us, can we really handle it smoothly? Let’s give them a few hundred gold coins first; that way, it will be easier for us to explain, right?”

The speaker had a weak expression.

His eyes also held fear and awe towards Vog Country citizens.

“If you’re really scared, then get out of Li Village, lick the toes of your Vog Country citizen Dads, and wait for them to reward you with Gu to eat!”

Li Man glanced at the Partner next to him with disgust, snatching the round Mu from his hand.

...

A scene of busyness continued to unfold on the barren open space behind Li Village.

Due to Li Village being in the wilderness, coupled with the repulsion and dislike of Li Village by others, the nearest neighboring village was tens of kilometers away.

Therefore, Li Village’s audacious expansion of land in broad daylight went unnoticed by anyone.

Li Changkong also worked with everyone to expand the fence.

During the process, he was also calculating the completion time.

The reason they rallied everyone to start these tasks early this morning was precisely to test whether they could receive System rewards.

Fortunately, this area belonged to the wilderness, a desolate land half-abandoned by Vog Country.

Although it was said to be under Vog Country’s jurisdiction, Vog Country basically never managed this area, and even throughout the year, no one would patrol here to maintain safety.

After all, the wilderness is much more dangerous than the City side, especially at night.

Only when collecting settlement fees and protection fees each year, when there is money to be made, will people come.

Li Village’s small-scale land expansion would not attract anyone’s attention.

At least not for the next few months!

With three or forty people working diligently, it only took most of the day to build a wooden fence around the entire barren land behind Li Village!

A fence is the most direct and straightforward way for a force to delineate its territory!

As the last round Mu was driven into the ground, Li Changkong immediately heard the System prompt in his mind!

“Ding~ Congratulations Host, territory area expanded by 1/2, territory successfully expanded, received reward, Formal Knight Perfect Skill [Light Faith].”

The moment this prompt sounded, Li Changkong suddenly felt a burning sensation in his arms.

He spread his palms, and a bright light, with absolute brilliance, slowly appeared!

The Knight power within him suddenly condensed into another form!

The ultimate brightness is the strongest offensive method against The Black Night demons!

“[Light Faith].” Understanding the reward he received, Li Changkong’s heart settled a bit more.

He knew this skill.

This is a common skill.

Basically, every experienced Knight has cultivated this skill.

But.

Although it’s just a common skill, this skill is the foundation of everything. Whether it’s forging Knight weapons or covering armor to resist The Black Night monsters, it is one of the best methods for Knights in the early stages!

[Light Faith], after successful learning, Knights can materialize the power within their bodies and gather it into light!

Every Knight’s shield and battle sword are infused with Light Faith, or even more powerful radiant force!

Otherwise, ordinary steel would not be able to resist powerful enemies, nor could it be sold for more than gold.

If Li Village were to buy it, this skill would cost at least five hundred gold coins!

Moreover, this also requires the learner to practice diligently!

This is often the most expensive part!

Whether it’s medicinal materials for training or magical potions to improve learning progress, it’s all money!

With his Aptitude, to reach the perfect level rewarded by the System, it would take at least four or five years, and require thousands of gold coins worth of resources to assist!

Furthermore, not only did he possess the perfect [Light Faith], but he could also teach it to others!

Skills purchased in this World can generally only be bought for one person.

Those skills are gathered into an information light sphere by the strong, and then can only be learned by one person.

Subsequent people who want to learn can only pay to purchase again.

It is simply impossible for someone who learned a skill through an information light sphere to teach others step by step!

The people above have almost monopolized this wealth.

From this, the value of this System reward is evident!

To some extent, this System reward is even comparable to the magic manual that Li Changkong has always craved!

Shifting from the physical changes he felt, Li Changkong’s attention then came to the newly expanded land of Li Village before him.

What surprised him was that in addition to the [Light Faith] reward, there seemed to be another reward waiting for him to claim on the land before him!

In Li Changkong’s vision, a large roulette appeared on this piece of land.

On the roulette, there were densely packed sections.

[Oil, Natural Gas, Coal Mine, Fertile Land, ordinary Land, Crystal Vein, Strong Man’s Tomb...]

After the roulette appeared, there was a start button in front!

This situation allowed Li Changkong to roughly understand the specific situation.

Taking a deep breath, he pressed the start button with one hand.

After the roulette spun in a realistic (pretentious) manner for a dozen times, the pointer finally landed on an option.

[Magnetite].

After this option was confirmed, Li Changkong looked at this new territory again and instantly noticed the changes on the territory.

Only to see.

On the originally barren ground, some dark green stones appeared that were out of place with the surrounding environment.

Above the stones, a striking dark metallic luster shone!

“Iron Ore!” Seeing this, combined with the reward he just drew from the lottery wheel, Li Changkong instantly recognized what these stones were!

He strode to the center of this piece of land, and Li Changkong picked up a shovel from the side.

“Clang!”

When the shovel hit the ground, a bright sound erupted!

After scraping away a layer of soil, the land below was completely replaced by a patch of iron Ore!

“This, this is iron Ore?!” Li Bo, after everyone finished work, brought a pot of water to find Li Changkong, and then also saw the stones on the ground, his tone filled with disbelief.

In this World, people have a basic understanding of various Ores.

And iron Ore like this is money buried in the ground!

“Li Bo, what is the price of iron Ore?” Li Changkong looked at him and asked.

Hearing this, Li Bo looked at Li Changkong: “Changkong, do you want to sell this? If this stuff is sold normally and continuously, the income will be at least ten to twenty times that of selling wine before!”

“But this stuff is easy to attract disaster!”

“Although Vog Country allows ordinary people to own iron Ore, we ourselves are not protected by Vog Country’s law. Once other Vog Country citizens take a fancy to it, it will be a disaster for us!”

Li Bo was still in a state of worry about the future.

Li Changkong also expressed understanding.

Li Bo’s words made some sense, but these iron Ores were impossible to give up no matter what.

Before having the System, although Li Changkong’s actions were not as conservative as Li Bo’s, he was also leaning towards that direction.

Now, with the System’s blessing, Li Changkong’s ideas gradually became bolder.

Of course, having been tricked by Su Liang before, he was also more cautious in considering some matters.

Holding the iron pick and exploring the ground again, Li Changkong found that this entire area contained iron Ore!

The value of this is tens of thousands of gold coins!

Looking at the afternoon sky, Li Changkong picked up a piece of iron Ore from the ground: “I’m going out.”

“Changkong, you must think everything through!” Li Bo’s expression was serious: “These iron Ores can be the opportunity for the entire Li Village, and even more likely, the disaster for the entire Li Village!”

“Got it.” Li Changkong nodded to Li Bo, then flipped onto his warhorse.

...

The scenery on both sides flashed from before his eyes to behind him.

Li Changkong’s expression gradually became serious as he rode his horse.

The things rewarded by the System are all good things, there is no doubt about this.

And only if they can be digested will they be truly rewarding!

Li Village needs money, and only with money can it continue to expand, and only after continuing to expand can it have the strength to seek revenge on that guy Su Liang!

...

Busen City.

By the time he arrived at the City gate, Li Changkong had already taken off all his equipment.

After paying two silver coins, A Man entered the City with his warhorse.

In the City, one cannot ride a horse, only lead it by a rope.

Leading his warhorse, Li Changkong walked and looked around, arriving at the entrance of a familiar shop.

spiritual lamp Specialty Store.

The entire entrance of the spiritual lamp Specialty Store had been completely dismantled.

The glass shards on the ground had also been cleaned up.

Inside, the Boss’s dark face constantly expressed an extremely bad mood.

Seeing this, Li Changkong felt a little lucky.

The other party hadn’t traced it back to him yet.

He didn’t know if he was too lucky yesterday and left no evidence, or if someone helped him cover it up.
