At this moment, a new loyalty notification appeared.

[Because of your sincerity]

[Wolf Cavalry Corby’s Loyalty to you has increased by 10 points. Current Loyalty Level: 90]

Colby’s loyalty went straight up to 90.

Zong Shen glanced at it, then waved his hand and closed the notification.

He left a piece of grilled wolf meat for himself.

He gave Luna another piece of wolf meat and dried meat.

There were seven pieces of grilled wolf meat left.

However, there were 11 farmers. How it should be allocated was also a matter of learning.

Iron Pole, Second Dog and Eggface were the first farmers to follow Zong Shen.

Although they were a little lazy at the start, they still did a solid half day of work.

Logically, the three of them should be given a piece each.

The remaining four pieces were easy to handle.

Zong Shen had also observed them when they were gathering just now.

These four pieces of grilled wolf meat were distributed to the four farmers with the highest efficiency.

The talented farmer, Fattie, was one of them.

Zong Shen distributed them one by one.

The remaining four farmers ate unknown dried meat to fill their stomachs.

[As you provide food]

[Farmer Iron Pole’s Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty Level: 88]

[Farmer Second Dog’s Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty Level: 88]

[Farmer Eggface’s Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty Level: 88]

[Farmer Fattie Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty Level: 65]

…

[Farmer Biggie’s Loyalty to you has increased by 3 points. Current Loyalty Level: 63]

…

The loyalty of the farmers who were given the grilled wolf meat increased by 5 points, while those who received the dried meat only increased by 3 points.

These farmers were really realistic!

After distributing everything.

Zong Shen left a bucket of water for them to share.

Then he returned to the courtyard.

He walked all the way to the small, dilapidated house.

He pushed open the old wooden door and walked in.

The small house was only about 30 to 40 square meters.

The decorations inside were very simple.

There was only a wooden stool, a wooden table, and a wooden bed covered with straw.

Simple, primitive and plain!

Zong Shen sat on a wooden stool, held the grilled wolf meat, and started eating.

As there was no seasoning, this piece of grilled wolf meat lacked flavor.

However, Zong Shen still ate mouthful after mouthful. Very soon, he finished this piece of fist-sized grilled wolf meat.

This was his first meal since he landed.

Food was a big problem.

Currently, the only food reserves in the territory were [Fine Wheat Bread] and [Smoked Fish].

Food is a consumable. This problem will continue to grow as the population increases.

Therefore, the goal of finding food had to be added to the priority list.

At the same time, he had to find a stable way to obtain food.

As night fell.

Outside the small courtyard, the roars of wild beasts never stopped.

It was as if tens of thousands of wild beasts were having a party outside the small courtyard.

The farmers trembled in fear.

Thankfully, Luna was there to protect them, so the beasts didn’t dare to approach.

Zong Shen sat in the small room.

He opened [Channel].

He opened the ‘Family and Friends Channel’ first.

“Ah Ze, how’s your progress today?”

“Did you encounter any danger?”

About 10 seconds later, he received a reply.

“I’m very good, brother. There are plenty of resources in the forest, especially wood. Every tree can get 8 to 10 portions of wood. Although it’s a little difficult to move them, the overall efficiency is very high.”

“Also, I found an abandoned Goblin lumberyard in the forest.”

“I found a recruitment scroll for the Gnome Ripper!”

“[Gnome Ripper (Click to check attributes)]”

Following that, Zong Ze sent a link with a picture.

In the picture was a short green-skinned Gnome wearing goggles and driving a three-meter-tall gigantic robot.

On the two mechanical arms was a mechanical arm with a cutting saw attached to sharp alloy teeth, and the other was an iron claw that could bite up and down.

Beneath its feet was a treads-shaped bottom plate.

It looked very cool.

It had a magical steampunk style.

Zong Shen opened its attributes.

[Gnome Ripper: Oil Olek]

[Aptitude: Outstanding]

[Rank: Level 10]

[Attribute: (Click to unfold)]

[Satiety/Durability: 80/95]

[Loyalty Level: 80]

Zong Shen displayed its attributes.

[Gnome state/Driving state]

[Power: 12/38]

[Agility: 9/27]

[Intelligence: 22]

[Charm: 16]

[Health Points: 120/680]

[Cleave Damage: 21/70]

[Head Armor: 0/0]

[Upper Body Armor: 8/50]

[Lower Body Armor: 6/50]

[Magic Resistance: 16]

[Skill: Death Whirlwind (Gnome Ripper brandishes an extremely sharp blade wheel, dealing 7 seconds of cutting damage to enemies within a 3-meter radius. Cooldown time: 2 hours)]

[Logging mode (Gnome Ripper enters logging mode, rotating his blade wheels to cut trees and transport them with iron claws)]

[Super Frequency (Gnome Ripper enters super-frequency state, lasts for 1 minute, Durability consumption increases by 200%, Movement Speed increases by 30%, Attack Damage increases by 20%, Attack Speed increases by 20%)]

After looking at the attributes of the Gnome Ripper, Zong Shen only wanted to praise his Zong Ze!

“Damn, Ah Ze, you’re awesome!”

Zong Shen couldn’t help but say.

“It’s alright. The Gnome Ripper’s mecha requires durability. Although it can be repaired, I’ve never seen the materials required.”

“However, I found a black metal treasure chest under a small waterfall not far from the territory today. I obtained some food and blueprints inside.”

“Brother, what about you? How are you today?”

Zong Ze seemed to be doing well.

With the Gnome Ripper, not only could he satisfy his combat needs, he could also solve the lack of wood in the early stages.

Its efficiency was comparable to a dozen farmers when it came to logging.

“I didn’t expect the European King to be my younger brother!”

Zong Shen exclaimed with a sigh.

“I’m doing fine today as well. I got two recruitment scrolls, recruited the Dark Night Hunter and the Wolf Cavalry Soldier, rescued eight farmers, and obtained a Black Iron Treasure Chest.”

He gave a simple explanation.

He did not elaborate.

The two brothers had a tacit understanding.

No one knew exactly how big this Endless Continent was.

It would be difficult for the two brothers to meet up before they reached a certain stage.

Although they were brothers and hoped for each other to lead a good life, they had some competitive thoughts in their hearts.

Fight for the top!

“Wow, Brother, your development is not bad too!”

“I’ve checked the world channel. Most of the people are still struggling. They are slowly developing by collecting and exploring. Only a small number of people have found treasure chests or obtained recruitment scrolls and blueprints.”

“Us brothers must work hard!”

“With billions of people participating in the game at the same time, there is definitely no shortage of lucky people and capable people.”
