After Tiezhu transitioned to a Nord Shadow Scout, his overall attributes improved significantly.
However, compared to Korby and Luna, there is still a gap.
This is related to his talent and level.
Tiezhu's level is only lv1.
Once upgraded, I'm afraid his attributes won't be much worse than those of Korby at the same level.
"From now on, you'll be responsible for exploring the wilderness for our territory. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Zong Shen encouraged Tiezhu one last time.
Tiezhu nodded firmly.
At this moment, he looked at Zong Shen with a gaze full of admiration.
"Tiezhu will definitely not let Lord down!"
"Alright, continue to rest. When it gets light, I will assign you tasks."
Zong Shen waved his hand, sending Tiezhu back to the grass hut to rest.
At this time, Korby came over.
Giant Wolf Fenrir was still in a sleep state.
"Lord..."
Korby bowed to Zong Shen.
"Why not continue to rest a bit more?"
Zong Shen, looking at Korby's determined face, asked somewhat curiously.
But Korby shook his head.
"Lord, I have a sense of unease in my heart."
His face was full of worry.
"What's wrong? Is it because of the Goblin Tribe during the daytime?"
Zong Shen asked with concern.
Korby nodded.
"The power of the Goblin Tribe is very great. Although I was able to get rid of them when escaping, I still feel like I'm being watched..."
"This feeling is entangled in my heart, making me restless."
Hearing Korby's words, Zong Shen furrowed his brow as well.
"Is there something wrong with Korby?"
He began to inquire about strategy.
(Korby has been marked by a tracking beacon from the Goblin Mage, which will continuously locate his position for a day. Of course, you can also use magic exorcism to remove the beacon)
(But don't worry, the tracking beacon only creates a vague directional hint in the caster's mind)
A golden strategy hint appeared the next moment.
Zong Shen's expression turned severe.
The goblins cast a tracking beacon on Korby, aiming to trace his roots and eliminate him completely.
The location of his territory might already be exposed.
Plans need to be made early.
"Korby, you have a tracking beacon cast on you."
"The goblins have likely discovered the location of our territory."
"You must immediately leave the camp and head north forty to fifty miles, where you'll wait for me. We'll meet after dawn."
"We must keep moving to confuse those damned goblins."
Zong Shen thought for a bit and came up with a method.
According to the strategy, the tracking beacon as a magic beacon only creates a vague location in the caster's mind.
Essentially, it's not a very sophisticated tracking magic.
So just maintaining movement and changing locations can confuse the caster.
It's already over 4 AM, the late night period.
Here the sky goes dark early and gets light early.
The sky in the east is already turning white, and the surrounding darkness is gradually dissipating.
It should be another hour or two before it is completely daylight.
Outside the territory, the excited wild beasts that howled for half the night are nowhere to be seen.
All around the territory, there are countless footprints.
Upon hearing Zong Shen's words.
Korby dared not delay.
Quickly awakened Giant Wolf Fenrir.
Mounted the giant wolf, ready to leave the territory.
Zong Shen took out two portions of refined camel jerky from the storage grid and handed it to him.
As dry rations for the road.
Korby accepted the jerky, bowed again, and then rode Fenrir toward the north.
Zong Shen watched Korby depart.
Then turned and walked to the [Market].
In just under two hours, three portions of Moon Spring Water were sold out again.
It's the middle of the night, are these lords all night owls who don't sleep?
The Tier One [Market] can only list three positions, which is not enough for Zong Shen.
[Market] buildings are not part of basic buildings, and upgrading requires the next tier's blueprint.
Looks like I'll need to obtain a Tier Two [Market] building blueprint soon.
These three portions of Moon Spring Water brought Zong Shen 200 portions of wood and 80 portions of Ma.
Now, the four basic resources in Zong Shen's hands have reached a terrifying number.
[Wood ×331]
[Stone ×22]
[Iron ×60]
[Ma ×117]
Interestingly, stone is relatively scarce.
But it's quite simple to solve.
After selling two batches of Moon Spring Water, totaling 240ml, coupled with the past few hours of production, the water reserves have not decreased but actually increased.
He took a few more portions.
This time only listing one portion.
Only requested an exchange for 100 portions of stone.
In under three minutes, it was snapped up by a lord.
Exaggerated! Old buddy!
With the Moon Spring, Zong Shen can completely solve the post-apocalyptic resource issues.
Not only that, now Zong Shen, leveraging the strong effect advantage of Moon Spring, is practically harvesting other lords' wealth!
He then began to check the piles of private messages that accumulated.
Over a thousand lords have sent him private messages, indicating they have blueprints or unique items.
Unfortunately, genuinely valuable ones are scarce.
Or rather, lords with genuinely valuable items are reluctant to exchange them.
After all, resources are renewable and can be continuously collected, while precious blueprints and materials are rare finds, aiding greatly in early development.
Through keyword searches, Zong Shen finally identified items offered by three lords.
Two of which are special items.
One is a building blueprint.
Zong Shen first checked the special items.
Anyway, the night is long, and he has ample time to spend in the market before dawn.
[Heart of Basic Power]
[Increases strength by 6 when equipped]
This item directly boosts basic attributes.
It's highly valuable.
Zong Shen estimated the other party might seize the opportunity to raise the price.
After all, his Moon Spring Water, after two rounds of sales, has become an absolute hard currency.
Each drop of [Tears of the Moon God] represents precious value and can be exchanged for a large amount of resources.
After Zong Shen responded back.
The other party quickly replied.
It's from an Arab lord named Muhammad1985717, and as expected, he decided to open his mouth wide.
Asking right away for a trade involving 400ml of [Tears of the Moon God].
Zong Shen resolutely refused.
[Tears of the Moon God] is a rare commodity.
Those 6 extra points of strength might not save a life, but an extra portion of [Tears of the Moon God] provides additional life value.
Eventually, after some negotiation, a deal was struck for a cost of 200ml Moon Spring Water.
Zong Shen listed it all at once, with a specified trade price for the item [Heart of Basic Power].
Quickly, both parties completed the exchange.
200ml of spring water emptied over half of Zong Shen's stockpile.
But Zong Shen felt no panic.
The Moon Well still had about 250ml of water reserves.
Plus, it can generate 50ml more each hour!
