The alert sound suddenlymade Fang Hao pause in his actions.
The compulsory task had ended, and lots of people were speculating about when the event task would appear.
Some said half a month, others said even longer.
But it came sooner than anyone had anticipated.
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords, switched to the regional channel, and saw everyone discussing the event task.
“Damn, it came so early, even earlier than the 7-day compulsory task.”
-What does this task mean? We can’t bring our troops? What’s the point without troops? Are they asking me to fight on my own?”
“The task is a trial for the lord. They won’t let you bring in troops, otherwise, they might as well give you planes and tanks.”
“Don’t worry, everyone, this isn’t a compulsory task. Those who fear danger
don’t have to participate.”
“That’s easy for you to say, but if everyone else participates and you don’t, the gap between you and others will keep growing. You’d be screwed.” “Yours truly, 28 years old, have a green knight’s sword and a green suit of armor, looking for a team to join.
“I have one green suit, just graduated from physical education school, I have great stamina. Any brothers want to form a team?”
“Any big shots willing to take me in? I’ll give you a green helmet afterwards.”
“Who the hell would dare to take you in after you offer a green helmet…”
After a short discussion, most people began to send out team recruitment messages, hoping to find reliable teammates.
Fang Hao was also feeling rather uneasy.
Without his heroes and the Skeleton army, about 80% of the strength of his territory would be gone.
Without these two, his small amount of combat power would probably have been wiped out on the first day by the wolf pack.
This trial task could be said to be very unfriendly.
They were not allowing the lords to bring their troops, but it was a trial of personal abilities.
While he was thinking, new information suddenyl came from the Book of
Lords.
‘■[Blueprint unlocked: Merchant Caravan carriage blueprint (Green).]”
A new blueprint had been unlocked, and it was a green carriage blueprint.
Upon reflection, he realized that this must have been acquired by Zhang Bin. Zhang Bin’s Book of City Lord was essentially a duplicate of the Book of Lords.
Once he acquired a blueprint, it would automatically unlock for Fang Hao.
If Fang Hao acquired a blueprint, however, it would not unlock for him.
Ding!
A private chat alert sounded, and Zhang Bin sent him a message.
“Boss, we cleared out some wild boars today and got a green blueprint. Did you get it?”
upon seeing it, Zhang Bin seemed to be really hard working, he came back so late.
-Was it for the Merchant Caravan carriage? Yes, I received it,” Fang Hao replied.
“By the way, boss, are we participating in this trial task?”
Huh?
Zhang Bin also received the task alert?
That would mean that this task was not limited to the lords, but all transmigrators could participate.
Otherwise, Zhang Bin wouldn’t have received this system message.
“Do you want to participate? You’re not afraid of danger?” Fang Hao responded. In terms of combat power, Fang Hao could summon spirits, had a purple Starfire Wand, was well-equipped, and had all necessary skills. He still had some combat power.
But Zhang Bin, on the other hand, being an ordinary person, was no different from a regular villager.
■■Boss, we have you! And if we don’t participate in this task, we’ll be left behind by others,” Zhang Bin argued.
Fang Hao thought and agreed with him.
This task certainly wasn’t a death march. They could have just arranged a large scale monster invasion. That would be much quicker!
Most likely, it was a chance for the transmigrators to improve their own abilities.
To participate in this task, strong teammates were also extremely important. Fang Hao stood up and looked through the cabinet in his study. He took out the Strengthening Potion he got a few days ago.
In the chat, he sent Zhang Bin the Strengthening Potion, and said “Here is the ‘Strengthening Potion’, we’ll exchange later. Use it tonight and get used to it.” “Ah? Do I drink this or apply it externally?” Zhang Bin hesitated.
Could he just drink the medicine? What if something went wrong? There were no doctors here.
-You drink it. It can enhance your stamina. You will understand once you drink it,” Fang Hao said.
“I’m good, boss. You can keep it. I have pretty good stamina, really,” Zhang Bin tried to explain.
“There is nothing to worry about. I’ve taken it too. It enhances your abilities. Become familiar with it tonight and be prepared for tomorrow’s challenge,” Fang Hao continued.
When he was about to take the Strengthening Potion, he, too, was somewhat uneasy. He had a lot of hesitation before he braced himself to drink it after asking Nelson’s opinion.
It was a normal attitude.
A person can’t always consider the immediate situation. Drink it today, and the chances of winning tomorrow will be better.
Otherwise, when you meet danger in tomorrow’s challenge, and decide to drink it then, it would be too late.
“Alright, I understand, boss.” Zhang Bin finally agreed.
Fang Hao immediately put the Strengthening Potion in the Trade section, and Zhang Bin simply put up 10 units of wood to complete the trade.
After discussing for a while, they ended the chat.
Immediately after ending the chat, the private chat notifications came one after another.
They were all inquiries about teaming up with Fang Hao, and he rejected them all.
Fang Hao was hoping to latch onto someone stronger, why would he let others latch onto him?
“Brother Hao, do you need me to take you?”
The Friend Notification popped up and it was from Dong Jiayue.
-Are you going to participate as well? Have your injuries healed?” Fang Hao asked.
He had previously received quite a few Shadowstones from Dong Jiayue. In order to ensure that she would continue to provide him with Shadowstones, Fang Hao had provided her with considerable support.
From materials and tools to weapons and equipment. Even when she was injured, he gave her his only Healing Potion.
In short, their relationship was very good.
When the Qinglong Trade Union was cursing Fang Hao in the chat and even threatening to retaliate against anyone who spoke in support of him, everyone else shut up. Only Dong Jiayue stood up in the chat to curse back at them.
She did not back down at all.
Eventually, this war of words only ended when Fang Hao chopped off Li Teng’s head.
To some extent, among the lords, the relationship between Fang Hao and Dong Jiayue could be said to be very good, even better than that between Fang Hao and Zhang Bin.
■■I’m healed. I was already fine when I gave you the Shadowstones and the map last time,” Dong Jiayue confidently replied.
“You’re going to participate in this trial? It’s not compulsory, you don’t have to do it,” Fang Hao said.
Not to belittle women, but in terms of natural strength, men indeed have some advantages.
This trial was no small matter, a misstep could cost a life.
In the face of Fang Hao’s distrust, Dong Jiayue started rifling through her closet and found an ID in an old bag that she hadn’t used for a long time. She took a picture and sent it.
She had brought this with her when she transmigrated.
“Looking down on me? [Image: National Women’s Martial Arts Routine Champion],” Dong Jiayue sent.
Fang Hao looked at it and frowned, “Routines? Aren’t they all fake?
“What’s fake? I’m real. I’m way too good,” Dong Jiayue returned, her tone dripping with indignation.
Honestly, Dong Jiayue was indeed impressive.
While Fang Hao grew from having a hundred times the force, Dong Jiayue earned her stripes the hard way.
The only person who dared to lead peasants down into the tombs on the second day after transmigrating was probably her.
“You really want to go?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, then we are a team of three. I’ll call you when we form the team tomorrow.”
“Okay..”
