[Master Bai] As a member of the "hard workers", he also joined the task of territory construction.
His job is to prune flowers, plants and trees.
To be honest, it's not that difficult, after all, this task can be said to be done with skill.
Although this area is overgrown with grass and trees, there is still no problem if you take some scissors and prune it over a period of time.
But did the lord really just ask me to simply prune the trees?
No, absolutely not. Is this a test?
No wonder [Master Bai] thinks so.
The words "you can get my approval" that the lord said before he left are particularly intriguing.
And there are no requirements for how it should be trimmed. Could it be that I am really allowed to express myself?
No, absolutely not! There must be another intention behind this sentence.
Could it be that……
[Master Baiyi] A surprising conjecture came to mind.
"Could it be that because you knelt down devoutly just now, you unlocked the hidden mission?"
Generally speaking, in order to add interest, games will set up some mysterious tasks that are unknown to the players.
The conditions for triggering such tasks are often harsh and difficult to observe, but their rewards are often rich.
As a senior game party, [Master Baiyi] is now convinced that he has triggered a hidden mission.
"So, what is the test of this hidden mission? Is it the completion of the player's mission?
Whoever has a high degree of completion and good performance will be able to gain the recognition of the lord, that is, gain the favorability of the lord?"
[Master Baiyi] was shocked, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
After all, if he had not knelt down like this just now, would the lord have said this? Obviously not?
So this is the hidden mission!
This is the hidden test!
"As expected of a game with a high degree of freedom, the novice missions at the beginning have hidden secrets. It seems that I cannot take it lightly."
…
Although summer has just entered, the unique sweltering heat of the underground world makes Eugene, who has been studying in the wooden house for several days, unable to stay any longer.
I had no choice but to go out to Xingka Forest to pick some cooling grass.
As the name suggests, cooling grass can lower the surrounding temperature, which is very suitable for a small place like your own cabin.
The Star Card Forest is a large forest near the Akina Peninsula. Strictly speaking, part of this forest belongs to Eugene's territory.
So coming here feels like going home.
However, picking herbs requires the demon lord to come in person, which is really inappropriate.
Although you can find a "hard worker" to be your servant and help you with some trivial tasks.
But they think outside the box and are afraid that they will not be able to serve themselves well.
Moreover, goblins generally serve as laborers. Using them as servants will make the lord look shabby, so forget it.
I'll wait until next time I go to the city in late winter to see if I can find a cheap servant.
Not long after entering the forest, Eugene frowned.
Because there is an inexplicable smell of blood in the air.
Strangely, the Akina Peninsula is a notoriously barren land, even the outskirts of the Star Card Forest are no exception.
Normally, it is difficult to see even a wild beast outside the forest. Where did this bloody smell come from?
As I continued to dig deeper with doubts, the smell became stronger and stronger until I found the source of the bloody smell next to a bush.
A pile of remains of a doo-doo bird.
The Doodle is not a wild beast, it is considered a type of Warcraft, a bit like a chicken, and its largest size is about the same as an adult Goblin.
Because its combat power is relatively weak among Warcraft, it has always been at the bottom of the food chain, making it the best prey for Warcraft and even unintelligent Goblins.
Originally, this kind of monster would only appear in the middle of the forest or in fertile places deep in the forest, but now it appears here...
Coupled with the bite marks on the Dudu bird's body and the scratches on the ground, it is not difficult to see from these that it was captured by other monsters.
Other monsters...
Warcraft appears outside the Star Card Forest. This is not a good sign.
But calculating the time, it seems that the Midsummer Moon is about to begin, so it is more reasonable for the monsters to appear in the periphery.
Midsummer is the hottest month of the year.
Its higher temperature and the special environment of the Starka Forest make it difficult to survive in its central area.
For this reason, the monsters living in the center will explore outward layer by layer until they find their own place to escape the summer heat.
and live here until the midsummer months pass.
This makes the originally safe and peaceful perimeter become dangerous.
Because if you are not careful, you will be attacked by monsters that are out looking for food.
Of course, this so-called danger is only for those "hard workers".
In Eugene's view, these monsters are softer than Jenny's grandmother's cheese. They can't even catch his own moves, so how can they be dangerous?
But that's not necessarily the case for those "hard workers".
After all, most of these "hard workers" are gamers who can't carry it on their shoulders or lift it with their hands.
Its combat power was completely caused by being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the monster.
If I accidentally encounter a monster that day, I will deliver the food directly.
Is it possible that they will fight back? Don't be ridiculous.
For their safety, it may be necessary to issue tasks, such as reinforcing fences and patrolling the surrounding areas.
…
Return to the cabin and put the cooling grass into the vase.
A faint fragrance filled the wooden house.
The cooling grass will not take effect immediately. It will take at least an hour to lower the temperature in the cabin to a suitable range.
Taking advantage of this extra time, Eugene planned to inspect how the "hard workers" were doing their work and whether they were slacking off.
After putting down the vase, before going out, he saw through the window that the open space was filled with hundreds of wood piles, as well as some houses being built.
As expected of someone who came from a different world of hardship. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I look at it carefully, I can see that this work efficiency alone is equivalent to the amount of goblins with the same number of people in a week.
Through the system, I can see that they seem to be working harder and harder.
Oh? They have also built the square frame? Looking at the speed, it will probably be completed in two days.
Not bad.
However, this square has a strong personal flavor.
A flying, rotating bird is carved in the center, and a plaque named "Big Bird Rotating Bar" is set up next to it.
Big*bird turns around the bar...huh? What the hell?
Why did the square take the name of the bar?
Is this the belief of the "hard workers" in another world? Or is it some kind of special hobby?
emm...as long as the quality is passable, it's fine.
The only fly in the ointment is that in these few hours, it seems that a few "hard workers" have been exhausted.
But it's none of my business if the "hard workers" are exhausted. It's not me who makes them exhausted.
This sentence was something Eugene learned from an article describing "capital" on the Internet.
After reading that article, Eugene felt like he had been living in its shadow.
It is the real devil.
There are many things in it that are worth learning and applying to your own territory construction plan.
It's a pity that it's so obscure and difficult to understand. It seems that I, the demon lord, still have a long way to go before I can become a big demon like capital.
After sighing with emotion, he opened the door and saw a garden that he had never seen before.
