CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36 SUDDEN WEALTH_1
After arranging tonight’s dinner, Yan Xing left Xu’s Old Shop.
He first went to a pharmacy to buy some medicinal powder and bandages, then found a pet hospital to purchase some antibiotics.
The captured werewolves were almost all injured, and the wounds inflicted by the barbed nets differed from ordinary cuts. They had to be treated with medicine to prevent minor injuries from becoming severe, which could result in a number of deaths.
Actually, from the beginning, Yan Xing didn’t want to delve too deep into enmity with the Swamp Tribe. After all, distant relations aren’t as helpful as close neighbors. If he had to live in constant fear of retaliation from the Swamp Tribe while trying to develop his domain, how could he progress? And how could he make money!
Yan Xing’s purpose in developing the Eternal Domain was very simple: to be able to lie back and earn money in the future.
As for the conflicts and hatreds between the races of this world... what do they have to do with me?
Therefore, ensuring a stable development environment for his newly acquired domain was the most important thing for Yan Xing.
The Red Mud Wetland controlled by the Duan’er Tribe was very close to the Eternal Domain.
Today he had exterminated the Duan’er Tribe, and naturally, other Werewolf Tribes would fill the void in Red Mud Wetland.
The Swamp Tribe could afford to lose countless battles. Yan Xing could not afford even one loss, or he would risk losing everything here.
Therefore, in this war, Yan Xing did not use lethal weapons like gasoline or Molotov cocktails. Instead, while ensuring victory, he tried to preserve the strength of the Duan’er Tribe as much as possible.
By showcasing muscle and strength, he ultimately aimed to form a cooperative relationship with the Duan’er Tribe.
With a friendly Duan’er Tribe controlling Red Mud Wetland, there would be a buffer zone between the Eternal Domain and the Swamp Tribe. The Duan’er Tribe could block any threats from the Swamp Tribe. Even if they couldn’t block them, they could at least send a warning, ensuring the Eternal Domain wouldn’t be caught unprepared by an impending siege.
In short... the Duan’er Tribe must not be significantly weakened by this war, and all injured werewolves must be treated as soon as possible.
Nutritional supplements and medicine were both necessary for their recovery.
After purchasing the medicine, Yan Xing also bought several hundred pounds of bulk dog food, some water, and other small items, before driving back to the Eternal Domain in a farm trike loaded with goods.
Upon seeing the Lord return, Olaf immediately came to him and asked cautiously, "Lord... what do you plan to do with Clan Leader Duan’er?"
Jumping off the farm trike, Yan Xing first called over a few peasants to unload the goods, then said to Olaf, "Have Duan’er and the captive werewolves been settled?"
"Reporting to the Lord, Clan Leader Duan’er is being kept in solitary confinement. The werewolves who had been entangled in the barbed nets have also been rescued. I did not allow them into the campsite; instead, I had Lao Hansi and his men build a circle of wire fencing around them."
There were just too many captured werewolves this time. It would be too dangerous to keep them all inside the camp.
Yan Xing was very pleased that Olaf had considered things so thoroughly.
Yan Xing said, "Leave the uninjured werewolves outside; bring all the injured ones into the camp. Go find Gao Sipa and have him set up all the spare tents so the injured werewolves can stay there. If that’s not enough, the Council Hall can also accommodate some.
"I’ve brought some medicines and water, so have their wounds cleaned and bandaged as quickly as you can.
"This food... These rations are specially formulated nutritionally balanced, easy-to-digest instant food tailored for you werewolves.
"I see their bellies are all famished. Let them have something to fill their stomachs for now, and we can have a feast tonight..."
Olaf hadn’t expected his Lord to use ’Teleportation Magic’ and leave immediately after the war. It turned out he had gone to procure medicines and instant food for Olaf’s own tribe members.
Emotions of gratitude swelled within him like the surge of a mighty river.
"Lord, you are compassionate..."
"Go tend to your people. As for how to deal with Duan’er, let me think on it some more. I’ll decide tonight," said Yan Xing.
Yan Xing didn’t reveal to Olaf his plans for Duan’er. Let Duan’er reflect on his actions for the time being...
"Yes, Lord."
Olaf went off with the supplies to treat the injured werewolves, and Yan Xing finally had the time to review his gains from the war.

Wow! The rewards from this war were truly substantial!
The hero’s level rose three times in a row, from level five to level eight, making a huge leap in overall attributes.
What truly excited Yan Xing was that among the extra rewards, there was a hero skill that clearly had something to do with Magic.
Yan Xing promptly opened his attribute panel.

The description for Junior Air Magic stated: "Gain the ability to communicate with the Air Magic Elemental, allowing the learning and use of Air Magic spells."
After reading the introduction of Junior Air Magic, Yan Xing couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
This hero skill only granted him the prerequisite for learning and using Air Magic. It didn’t mean he could now cast a few spells for the thrill of it.
As for how to learn Magic, or where to go to learn Magic... There was nothing in the skill description.
It seemed I’d have to figure it out for myself.
Compared to the good-for-nothing Junior Air Magic skill, the reward of 1,200 God-given gold coins was much more tangible.
Based on the current exchange where one Gold Coin could sell for 9,000 yuan, if he sold all these coins...
Goodness! I’m already a multimillionaire!
Surprised or not? Unexpected or what?
A wonderful life is already beckoning to me!
At this moment, Yan Xing’s mind was filled with bright red banknotes flying around him...
My domain has a very promising, very profitable future!
The newly-rich Yan Xing was even more enthusiastic about building the Eternal Domain. He had the farmers work diligently, while he kept driving the truck back and forth to bring in building materials.
At that moment, Olaf walked into the tent where Duan’er was held captive, carrying an iron bowl.
The iron bowl was filled to the brim with the "nutritional instant rations."
"Clan Leader!" Olaf, who deeply respected Duan’er for always protecting the tribe, said, "All the tribe members have been rescued. My Lord brought alchemically refined medicine, and the injured tribe members are all receiving treatment."
Bound hand and foot, Duan’er sat on the ground. He looked at Olaf and asked, "Who is the human Lord you serve?"
