CHAPTER 114: CHAPTER 43 TERRITORIAL STRATEGIC TREASURE: LIFE FRUIT TREE

Lin Rui didn’t dare let them continue playing, or who knows what terrifying existence they might accidentally summon into the territory.

So he decisively opened the remaining two magic boxes.

[Ding, a greedy Evil Dragon has engaged in a fair trade with you. You both get a chance to randomly draw wealth from each other’s treasure vault. Ding, you lost 1000 Realm Coins, and gained 1000 Gems.]

[Ding, a mischievous little elf has played a prank on you, causing your casting error rate to increase by 20% and spiritual energy power to increase by 20% within 24 hours.]

Audrey immediately stopped her argument with Silver Moon, and angrily slammed the table: "The Goddess of Fortune is such a tease!"

"I’ve never seen Lord ever make a casting error, adding 20%, zero times anything is still zero!"

Silver Moon glanced at Lin Rui, pondering how 1000 Realm Coins exchanged for 1000 Gems could be considered fair trade?

Facing Silver Moon’s scrutinizing gaze, Lin Rui remained indifferent, a basic maneuver, nothing special.

Then Lin Rui opened three Beastmen’s wealth treasure chests.

[Ding, received 2800 Realm Coins]

[Received fresh meat*850]

[Received iron ore*250]

[Received gems*6]

[Received crystals*13]

[Received rare resource Vibranium*25]

[Received Tier One Spiritual Gem*8]

[Received Ordinary-level Weapon: Sturdy Spear*35]

[Received Ordinary-level Armor Soldier Armor*25]

[Received Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Rune Warhammer*2]

[Received War Logistics Supply Items Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouch*2]

Audrey decisively slumped onto the table, out of sight, out of mind.

Lin Rui then went on to open all the Silver Treasure Chests and Bronze Treasure Chests.

[Ding, you received Resource Pack (Medium)*4, Resource Pack (Small)*8]

[Ding, received Fine Armor (Blue) Hell’s Assassin Boots*2.]

[Ding, received Fine-level Weapon (Blue) Griffin Banner Spear*2]

[Ding, received Fine-level Weapon (Blue) Light Knight Sword*1]

[Ding, received Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Venom Fang Spear*2]

[Ding, received Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Rune Warhammer*2]

[Ding, received Enhanced Armor (Green) Sturdy Boots*3]

[Ding, received Enhanced-level Weapon (Green) Emerald Staff*1]

[Ding, received Fine Wine [Wood Elf Fruit Wine]*2]

[Ding, received rare materials crystal*10]

[Ding, received medicinal herb·licorice*58]

[Ding, received seed of emerald green*3]

[Ding, received plant citrus sapling*25]

[Ding, received "Book of Wisdom"*1]

[Ding, received "Experience Book"*6]

[Ding, received Building Plan "Jewelry Workshop"]

[Ding, received Building Plan "Open-air Bath"]

[Ding, received Building Plan "Orchard"]

[Ding, received one-time item Steel Benevolent Father’s Blessing*1]

[Ding, received one-time item Heart of Resilience.]

"Finished opening?" Audrey covered her eyes: "If I can’t see it, I won’t get mad."

Lin Rui used the "Book of Wisdom," granted the Emerald Staff to Tier Two Mage Kipulin, and distributed the banner spear and warhammer among the knights and fanatics who needed them, then handed over the remaining materials to Soro to pack everything into the Stone Horned Beast Hide Pouch. With so many resources, even if most are not needed for his own domain, when converted on the trading market they can be exchanged for a lot of wealth, stockpiling the warehouse.

On the table, only the seed of emerald green, "Experience Book," and two one-time items remained.

[Steel Benevolent Father’s Blessing: Achieve our ambition with the will of steel. Territorial resource type item, after use, territory gains the steel output Trait, mine resources +100%, mine output +100%, blacksmith production efficiency +50%.]

[Heart of Resilience: Trait type precious item, after use, gains Trait·Low-level resilience, resilience increases by 6%.]

Resilience is a powerful attribute to reduce control effects, capable of shortening one’s stun and knockback duration.

Lin Rui has the Immunity Trait, almost never needing this Trait.

So Lin Rui granted this item to Silver Moon, while also using all the seed of emerald green on her. Helping increase her life limit and resilience values, enabling higher damage output post-explosion.

The last remaining item, Steel Benevolent Father’s Blessing, like a token, was held by Lin Rui, fiddling with it.

After exploring for so long, still couldn’t find the mine.

Lin Rui deeply suspected he might have gotten the direction wrong. Today he decided to conduct one final exploration in the forest and return the Lusen Chamber of Commerce steward to the Blood Maple Forest camp, then switch exploration directions.

Monsters on the forest perimeter closest to the domain direction had been cleared out by Lin Rui leading the army, any further exploration posed dangers and wasted time.

"Lord, with so much equipment, territory funds are not lacking. I suggest after enhancing the breadfruit tree, build several more lumberyards and quarries to strengthen resource collection."

Lin Rui leaned back on the chair, pondering Soro’s suggestion.

The Golden Pansy Domain, although not the first to upgrade, actually faced a very real problem.

That is, the territory developed too quickly.

The Goddess of Fortune clearly does not provide Divine Grace in the area of territorial construction.

The current scale of the territory all relied on Lin Rui investing heavily to achieve.

citizens, apart from the military, most are desperately constructing buildings. It all falls under resource input.

\n(o)v.e\l.com

But truly engaging in resource production are only one Fisherman’s Hut, one Hunter’s Lodge, one Quarry, and one Lumberyard.

This scale obviously cannot support territory construction, especially when many buildings are simultaneously under construction, relying only on Lin Rui’s war spoils.

Once the breadfruit tree has been enhanced, food production within the territory will rise. So the urgent issue indeed should be considering how to increase other resource productions.

Soro proactively suggested, "Lord, the clear-up effect towards the forest direction is remarkable. There are the richest tree resources there, without monster interference. Actually, timber can entirely become the territory’s specialty. We can build several more logging plants. Each plant based on today’s efficiency of axes and backs can transport 300 units of timber into the territory, establishing five plants means 1500 units daily."
