《My Life As A Lord In Another World Was Livestreamed》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Okay, okay, okay. Streamer, I believe that you¡¯ve transmigrated to another world, okay? Stop emphasizing on this!] [Streamer, you¡¯re handsome. We¡¯ll believe whatever you say!] [Streamer, you obtained a piece of land yesterday. What will today¡¯s plot be like?] Lin Tian browsed through the comments of the netizens in the livestream and sighed helplessly. ¡°Sigh, why won¡¯t you guys believe me? I¡¯m really not on Earth right now. ¡°I¡¯m not filming a sketch either. I¡¯ve really transmigrated to another world!¡± No matter what he said, the comments in the livestream were perfunctory. They obviously did not believe what he said. That was right. Transmigrating was a fantasy. Who would believe it! However, Lin Tian was really a transmigrator. Of course, the audience in the livestream was from Earth. His livestream from another world was connected to Earth. Five days ago, he transmigrated from Earth with only a backpack on him. There were many races in this world. While the technological advancements were similar to that of medieval times, they had magical powers. On the day he transmigrated, Lin Tian found a new system in his phone. Without the need to connect to the Internet, he was still able to surf the Internet for two and a half hours every day. However, the only apps he could use were Dowyin and a Moujing. Today, he started his livestream on Dowyin as usual. The audience in the livestream naturally would not think of him as a transmigrator. They thought he was filming an online short drama or something. Everyone found Lin Tian¡¯s surroundings intriguing and thus were willing to stay and watch his livestream. Furthermore, Lin Tian was tall, handsome, and very charming. Although there were only 500 to 600 viewers, he was still quite satisfied with his reputation and rewards. His reputation was used for the system lottery. Meanwhile, Lin Tian could use his rewards to shop in Moujing. Even though this was a foreign world, he could still shop online. Perhaps there was a special space tunnel that allowed the goods he purchased to be transported from Earth to his side. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I¡¯ll stop saying I¡¯m a transmigrator. I¡¯ll show you my territory.¡± Lin Tian passed through a forest and came to a wide area. ¡°I¡¯m here. In front of me is my new territory. ¡°I¡¯m about to have an official transaction with the owner!¡± After saying that, Lin Tian pointed the camera at the small town tribe with a castle in front of him. [Wow, the castle is so big and beautiful. This small town¡¯s scenery is also so stunning!] [By the way, is this area really the streamer¡¯s?] [Don¡¯t question the streamer. The streamer is handsome. I will believe whatever he says!] .. In the livestream, the viewers flooded the screen one after another. They even rewarded Lin Tian with a few cars. The scenery here was pleasant. Most of it was nature, which was different from the artificial sceneries on Earth. The audience had a good impression of it. This piece of land was given to Lin Tian by a baron, whose life had been saved by Lin Tian back then. In order to repay him, and in addition to the fact that he was old, the man transferred his land and his baron status to Lin Tian. Seeing how generous the man was, Lin Tian also gave him a few things, such as a mug, a highlighter, and so on. After all, it was only fair to return the favor. Now, Lin Tian was considered a baron, and was responsible to lead the entire tribe of commoners. This tribe was located in a very remote place in the kingdom. They had a very small population and a weak economic status. Lin Tian walked toward the small town as he livestreamed. His phone, which had an otherworldly system, had an invisibility mode. Once it was activated, others would not be able to see his phone, and he did not need to hold the phone. Of course, the livestream would not be interrupted. The invisible phone would automatically record the scenes. At this moment, hundreds of tribal civilians had gathered in the small town. These civilians were dressed in western medieval attire. When the viewers saw this, they became a little excited. [The streamer is awesome. He must¡¯ve spent a lot of money on this short drama, he even made an ancient western-style setting.] [These people look really good. Amazing!] [Whether it be their image or expressions, they¡¯re too realistic!] [With such good acting skills, it¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s only filming short dramas on Dowyin!] [The streamer is rich and dedicated. His short dramas are even better than those popular idol dramas!] .. The audience praised Lin Tian one after another. They still thought Lin Tian was filming a short drama. After Lin Tian walked into the town, an old man dressed slightly better than a commoner came up to him. ¡°Baron Barr!¡± Lin Tian greeted him with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re here. This is the contract for the transfer of the territory. Sign it.¡± Barr handed a contract to Lin Tian with a slightly depressed mood. Although he was a noble, he lived a mediocre life with little money to spend. If he continued guarding this piece of land, it would not make him rich. After being saved by Lin Tian, he temporarily lost his mind and transferred his identity and territory to Lin Tian. He wanted to go out and explore. However, it was hard to survive in the outside world these days! As a man, he had to keep his promise. It was too late for him to regret now. Fortunately, Lin Tian had given him some high-level items. He planned to sell them in developed cities. He might even be able to sell them for a huge sum of money. After both parties signed the contract, Lin Tian put the territory contract, the transfer contract, and the baron¡¯s medal into his bag. Barr calmed himself down and turned to look at the many commoners. ¡°Alright, my people, I am officially announcing it! ¡°From now on, Lord Lin Tian will have I, Baron Barr¡¯s identity and territory. ¡°Everyone, applaud and welcome him!¡± The commoners clapped and shouted at the same time. ¡°Welcome, Lord!¡± Lin Tian smiled and nodded at them in response. After the transaction, Barr reluctantly looked at the territory that was once his. Then, he sighed and his expression turned resolute. He boarded the carriage with his family and left. Lin Tian¡¯s phone even gave him a close-up. [Wow, his expression is too realistic. Which veteran actor is this? Why haven¡¯t I seen his show before?] [Actually, the streamer isn¡¯t bragging. He has really transmigrated!] [Comment above, how much did the streamer pay you to say that? I want to earn some money too!] .. In the livestream, the netizens started to comment one after another. Barr¡¯s ¡°acting¡± shocked everyone, and it brought Lin Tian a lot of gifts. [Single Wang gave the streamer a cloud-piercing arrow!] [My Brother is a Pomegranate gave the streamer 666 cases of beer!] [I am a Goddess sent 20 roses to the streamer!] .. The people who sent gifts to Lin Tian were all his fans. They had been following Lin Tian ever since he started his livestream. They found these short dramas very fresh and interesting. [I transmigrated to another world to start a livestream? What¡¯s going on?] As the popularity of the livestream increased, new viewers were gradually attracted by the headline. [What is the streamer doing? Can someone explain?] The newcomers expressed their doubts. [It¡¯s as the title implies. The streamer has transmigrated to another world!] Replied the older viewers. [What?] The newcomers filled the screen with question marks.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Barr left, Lin Tian started to stroll around town. Although this place was relatively remote and simple, as long as it was properly managed, it could still be very valuable. ¡°Greetings, Lord!¡± The commoners were very welcoming. When Lin Tian walked over, they would all greet him. Lin Tian nodded in response. Looking at Lin Tian¡¯s back, some of the commoners could not help but whisper to each other. ¡°It¡¯s not bad to have a new Lord. This Lord Lin Tian looks very gentle.¡± ¡°Yeah, Lord Barr has always exploited us. I hope he won¡¯t be like him in the future.¡± .. While these commoners were discussing, Lin Tian¡¯s phone automatically took close-ups of them. The various expressions on their faces were clearly displayed to the audience in the livestream. [I didn¡¯t expect these co-stars¡¯ acting skills to be so impressive. Their micro-expressions are too exquisite!] [They really outdo those famous actors!] [Little Liu Loves Watching Movies gave the streamer 666 cases of beer!] [Comment: This is my first time giving a gift to a streamer, for the sake of these actors!] The livestream was very lively, and its popularity had increased. Everyone watched the livestream as if they were watching a short drama. In fact, many people did not enjoy watching those online short dramas. They were too exaggerated and unrealistic. However, the short drama that Lin Tian filmed was very engaging. Be it the theme or the actors¡¯ acting skills, they were all very good. Although the title of the livestream was ¡°I transmigrated to another world to start a livestream¡±, no one believed it. ¡°Dear viewers, this is the end of today¡¯s livestream. We will meet again tomorrow. Bye-bye!¡± Lin Tian strolled around for a while and realized that it was time to go offline. [Streamer, wait, it¡¯s already over?] [I was just starting to get in the mood. Now it¡¯s ruined!] [Streamer, can¡¯t you stream a little longer?] [Sigh, what a pity. The streamer only livestreams once a day for about two hours each time.] Without waiting for the viewers to complain, the screen of the livestream went black. After exiting the livestream, Lin Tian saw that the items he previously bought on Moujing had arrived. The receiving address had been filled with addresses on Earth. After the items had arrived, they would miraculously be sent to Lin Tian¡¯s side. Something more unusual was that the postage fees were exceptionally high, at least twice the original price. The more he bought, the higher the postage fees. Lin Tian bought these items with the money in his bank account. He had 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, which was enough for now. Lin Tian opened a software called Storage Space, which was similar to the storage rings in novels. The storage for Storage Space was huge, and everything he bought from Moujing was in it. There were some daily necessities, such as teacups, and some food to satisfy hunger. There were also various tools for survival in the wild, such as military knives, bows and arrows, and bulletproof vests. These weapons were all relatively expensive. However, they were all good quality weapons, costing hundreds or even thousands of yuan each. After all, it was risky to be in another world, so he had to protect himself. It would have been even better if he had a gun, but unfortunately, it was impossible to buy a gun from Moujing. In addition to these basic supplies and tools, Lin Tian had also considered the long-term development of the town. He bought a lot of vegetable seeds so that he could plant them here in large quantities and keep the local commoners employed. He also bought a large number of biscuits as a means to pay the commoners. The common currencies in this world were gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. The exchange ratio was 100:1. For example, a gold coin was equal to 100 silver coins. The territory where Lin Tian lived was very poor. The commoners did not have gold coins and had very few silver coins. Food and clothing were a problem for the commoners all year round, so it was definitely feasible to use biscuits as wages to pay the commoners. Lin Tian stood on a high platform and called the commoners over to register. ¡°Lord, do you intend to hire us to farm?¡± ¡°I want to work. How many copper coins can I get every day?¡± Hearing Lin Tian¡¯s willingness to hire, the commoners were very interested. ¡°Everyone, I won¡¯t pay in copper coins. It will be these biscuits. The pay will be six packets of biscuits every day! ¡°Anyone who is interested, line up and prepare to sign up!¡± As he spoke, Lin Tian took out two packets of biscuits and showed them to everyone. Instantly, everyone was eager to register and quickly lined up. The biscuits in Lin Tian¡¯s hands were something that no one had seen before. However, it seemed of good quality to them and they all figured that it would cost at least a few silver coins to buy them. They did not expect Lin Tian to give everyone six packets of biscuits a day. In just a short while, the recruitment was completed. Immediately after, Lin Tian started to arrange for everyone to work. While they were clearing the land, a thin and weak girl could not help but ask Lin Tian, ¡°My Lord, the land here is a little barren. It¡¯s difficult to grow food here. Are you sure you want to farm here?¡± Lin Tian did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, ¡°Lady, how should I address you?¡± ¡°Ah? My name is Diana.¡± The lady was stunned and overwhelmed for a moment before she quickly replied. Lin Tian smiled at her and said, ¡°Diana, from now on, you are the foreman. I will give you an extra salary. ¡°You only need to manage everyone. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything else. I know what to do.¡± Hearing this, Diana was ecstatic. ¡°Thank you, Lord. I will do my best!¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Lin Tian smiled and turned to leave. It was getting late. Lin Tian was preparing to tidy up the small castle. This was his new residence. The castle was a little old. It was very quiet and dark and had no lights. Besides him and an old servant, there was no one else here. Lin Tian immediately decided to recruit more servants to renovate the castle. Otherwise, it would be too depressing to live here. ¡°I just transmigrated. Let¡¯s take it one step at a time. Let¡¯s not think too much and get some sleep first!¡± After lighting the oil lamp and making some simple preparations, Lin Tian went to bed. The next morning, under the simple service of the old servant, Lin Tian went to the fields after finishing his meal. The commoners were all rather active and efficient in their work. Lin Tian supervised them for a while and gave them some pointers before starting the livestream. ¡°Friends, I¡¯ll continue my livestream from this other world today for everyone!¡± The netizens did not have enough of the livestream yesterday. Today, as soon as Lin Tian started his livestream, everyone immediately rushed in. The number of viewers soon reached 300. [It¡¯s so good to see the streamer¡¯s handsome face right after I wake up!] [Streamer, you must show us more of your world to expand our knowledge!] Lin Tian always emphasized that he was in another world. Although the people did not believe him, they were already used to it. ¡°My life as a Lord officially begins today. First, I¡¯ll show you the scene of my people working! ¡°I¡¯m prepared to farm here and lead the people out of poverty and into a well-off life!¡± Lin Tian narrated leisurely, and the camera automatically aimed at the hardworking commoners. [Are you cultivating the land? It looks so realistic!] [Streamer, you actually invited so many extras and they¡¯re all working so hard. You must have paid quite a lot, right?] [Say, are you a super millionaire?] Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [I am a Goddess sent 100 roses to the streamer.] [Comment: Lord, do you need a maid? I¡¯m super sweet.] .. The viewers started to flood the screen with comments and rewards. Lin Tian merely glanced at the comments and did not respond to them. Although he appeared cold, everyone¡¯s interest in him did not diminish. However, when it came to maids, Lin Tian did intend to look for some servants today. The old servant in the castle was too old. Lin Tian had planned to give him some money so that he could retire and return to his hometown. As he thought about it, Lin Tian put it into practice. He came to the small town to see how he could hire some servants. There was a spacious and relatively lively place in the small town. People would carry out all kinds of transactions there. It could be considered a market. Not only did the people of this town trade with each other, but there were also people from other towns coming over. When Lin Tian went over, he saw a very lively spot. ¡°Quick question, why is it so lively up ahead?¡± Lin Tian casually asked a passerby. ¡°Lord, there are slaves being sold over there!¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Tian quickly walked forward. ¡°Make way, it¡¯s the Lord!¡± Many commoners hurriedly took a few steps back when they saw Lin Tian. An iron cage carriage instantly entered Lin Tian¡¯s sight. A few burly men with knives stood beside the carriage. A petite person was curled up in the iron cage carriage. ¡°Big brother, the people here are too poor. I¡¯m afraid no one will buy her. Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡± Beside the iron cage carriage, a tall man looked at another long-faced man and asked. The long-faced man looked ferocious as he swept his gaze across the crowd. ¡°Lord, these merchants had specially gone to some remote places of the countries to capture slaves and sell them to other places.¡± Beside Lin Tian, a passerby spoke softly. At this moment, the long-faced man also noticed Lin Tian, who had been given a path by the commoners. Looking at Lin Tian¡¯s attire and aura, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. The long-faced man¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You should be the Lord of this town, right? How about it? Do you want to buy this cat-eared lady?¡± ¡°She¡¯s definitely a virgin. It won¡¯t be a loss if you buy her!¡± ¡°60 gold coins. Do you want to buy her?¡± As he spoke, the long-faced man used the knife in his hand to knock against the iron cage. The little person in the iron cage was immediately startled awake. She hugged her body and sat in a corner, looking at the person outside vigilantly. At this moment, Lin Tian also noticed the girl¡¯s appearance. The girl looked 18, but she did not look like a normal person. She had pointy ears and a long tail. Her facial features were very exquisite. Her eyes were bright, and she looked clever. At this moment, the camera lens of the phone automatically aimed at the girl. [Oh my God! What a cute cat-eared lady!] [The streamer is too amazing. Where did he find such an actress? This is what the cat-eared girl in my heart looks like.] [She looks so real!] .. In the livestream, the viewers suddenly lost their composure. [I am a Goddess gave the streamer a Ferrari. Comment: Ahhhh, she¡¯s so beautiful!] [Single Wang gave the streamer a cloud-piercing arrow. Comment: The cat-eared lady is so beautiful!] [Two-dimensional Girl sent 999 roses to the streamer. Comment: Streamer, I want to go to your territory too, please bring me!] .. [Little Rabbit followed the streamer.] [Happy Every Day followed the streamer.] [Do You Believe In Light followed the streamer.] .. After the beautiful and cute cat-eared lady appeared, Lin Tian¡¯s livestream was in an uproar. The netizens started to reward and follow the livestreamer, Lin Tian. In just a short while, the popularity of the livestream soared, and the number of viewers reached over a thousand. Lin Tian noticed the situation in the livestream. He was not surprised. After all, when he saw the cat-eared lady, he was shocked too. Ever since he came to this other world, all he knew was that the territory he was in was almost at the border of the kingdom. It was a little close to where the beastmen were, but he had never seen any beastmen. After the cat-eared lady noticed Lin Tian, she was stunned. Humans were all very scary, but Lin Tian did not give her such a feeling. The other party had an outstanding appearance and an air of nobility. He looked very pure and kind, different from the others. Even so, the cat-eared lady did not have any optimistic thoughts. She thought that she would not have a good ending. ¡°Lord, we obtained this cat-eared lady with great difficulty. The price is 60 gold coins. ¡°This is already very cheap. Once we pass by this village, there won¡¯t be such a shop anymore!¡± Seeing Lin Tian¡¯s interested expression, the long-faced man who was selling slaves took the opportunity to persuade him. ¡°I can¡¯t give you 60 gold coins now,¡± Lin Tian said thoughtfully. Hearing this, the long-faced man¡¯s face was filled with disappointment. He was prepared to leave with his subordinates, wanting to go to a bigger town to take a look. [Oh no, they¡¯re leaving. Streamer, what¡¯s going on with this plot? Shouldn¡¯t you buy the cat-eared lady?] [Streamer, if you don¡¯t let us see the cat-eared lady again tomorrow, I¡¯ll unfollow you!] [Streamer, buy her!] [I¡¯ll send you presents in return!] .. The viewers in the livestream could no longer stay calm and flooded the screen. ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Lin Tian looked at the slave trader and took out a glass teacup from his bag. ¡°I don¡¯t have any gold coins, but I can give you goods in exchange. How about this?¡± When the long-faced man saw the teacup in Lin Tian¡¯s hand, his eyes suddenly lit up and he could not stay calm anymore. ¡°This, this is a crystal cup. You need at least five gold coins to buy it. Only nobles can have it! ¡°I¡¯ve only seen it in the hands of a viscount by chance.¡± The long-faced man gently took the teacup and observed it for a while before exclaiming in surprise. [What? A crystal cup? Are you kidding me?!] [This is obviously an ordinary teacup that costs around ten yuan per unit in the grocery store?] [Hahaha, this is too funny!] [This actor looks so serious. He¡¯s the best actor!] .. In the livestream, the netizens laughed. ¡°Five gold coins are too little. I¡¯ll accept eight. I¡¯ll give you five crystal cups and a mirror.¡± As he spoke, Lin Tian took out a mirror with a plastic shell. It was the kind that was sold at a cheap price on the streets. However, it looked very beautiful. ¡°Can I take a closer look at this mirror?¡± The long-faced man looked at the mirror in Lin Tian¡¯s hand and asked anxiously. ¡°Sure, here you go.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± The long-faced man held the mirror in his hand and started to observe it as if it was a rare item. When he saw the clear image in the mirror, his eyes immediately lit up. ¡°This is worth 20 gold coins. If possible, I will exchange five cups and a mirror for the cat-eared lady. ¡°If not, then forget it!¡± Lin Tian said as he saw the other party¡¯s excited expression. ¡°Alright, no problem,¡± said the long-faced man without hesitation. 20 gold coins were a little too much, but this mirror was even rarer than the crystal cup. It was a reasonable price. ¡°Lord, do you have any other treasures like this? I want to buy some.¡± The long-faced man¡¯s attitude turned respectful.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian rummaged through his bag and took out a glass teacup. ¡°This is the only one left. I got it from a mysterious merchant from the east.¡± Actually, he still had a lot in his storage. However, it was not a good idea to take out too much. After all, as the saying went, a poor man was innocent, but a man with treasure was guilty. [Streamer, it¡¯s so easy to earn gold coins, why don¡¯t you sell more?] [Stupid, the streamer¡¯s way of doing things is more appropriate.] [That¡¯s right, the Lord is in another world now and there are many bandits. If he shows too much, it would be bad if the villain takes notice of him.] [Wow, watching the same livestream with so many smart people, I feel like my wisdom has increased.] The people in the livestream began to express their opinions on this matter. In the end, the long-faced man watched with regret as Lin Tian traded the cat-eared lady with glass teacups and a mirror. The other glass teacup was sold for 6 gold coins. ¡°Come out.¡± The long-faced man opened the cage. However, the cat-eared lady was curled up inside and refused to move. ¡°Hurry up and come out.¡± The long-faced man¡¯s face instantly sank and was prepared to pull her out. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± Lin Tian stopped the long-faced man from moving. He walked to the cage and gave the cat-eared lady a gentle smile. His phone captured his smile. [Wow, he¡¯s so handsome.] [Oh my God, I¡¯m intoxicated by the streamer¡¯s smile.] [I¡¯m done, I¡¯m gay.] [White Rabbit sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [Comment: Streamer, your wife has fallen. Hurry up and bring her home.] Not only did Lin Tian¡¯s smile bewitch the viewers in the livestream, but it also slightly relaxed the cat-eared lady¡¯s worrying heart. For some reason, she had developed some trust in Lin Tian. Lin Tian reached out his hand to her. ¡°Come with me. I won¡¯t hurt you.¡± The cat-eared lady looked at Lin Tian for a while and carefully reached out her hand. However, her body was very weak. She nearly fell the moment she moved. It seemed that the long-faced man and the others did not give her any food to prevent her from escaping. ¡°Let me carry you.¡± Lin Tian did not care about the opinion of the people around him. He bent down and picked up the cat-eared lady. [The streamer¡¯s hand speed is fast!] [I¡¯m so envious.] [Is the cat-eared lady very soft?] [Little Hong and Little Lu gave the streamer a Ferrari!] [White Rabbit gave the streamer a Ferrari!] [Flat and Round gave the streamer a cloud-piercing arrow!] When the viewers in the livestream saw that Lin Tian had bought the cat-eared lady and was carrying her away, they started to send him gifts. As the number of gifts increased, the popularity of Lin Tian¡¯s streaming room also increased. When the newcomers joined the livestream, many were stunned at the sight of the gifts on the screen. They immediately looked at the streamer¡¯s name and realized that he was not the top streamer. However, their attention was quickly attracted by the cat-eared lady. [Oh my God, is this a cat-eared lady? Who is this cosplayer? She is so beautiful!] [Fellow friend, she¡¯s not cosplaying! This streamer has transmigrated, do you understand? The cat-eared lady is a real cat-eared lady!] A group of old viewers who had been following Lin Tian from the start started to explain. Although not many of them believed in transmigration, it still did not stop them from explaining it to the newcomers. Hence, the newcomers could not help but suspect under the old viewers¡¯ serious explanation, did the streamer really transmigrate? When Lin Tian carried the cat-eared lady back to the castle, the popularity of the livestream had already exceeded 4,000. Compared to before, it had doubled. Moreover, the popularity was still increasing. Lin Tian did not do much and allowed the system to continue recording automatically. Although it was an automatic recording, the system was capable of capturing some classic scenes. The cat-eared lady was very weak, so Lin Tian placed her on a chair. He said softly, ¡°Eat something first, then get some rest. You will recover slowly.¡± The cat-eared lady curled up on the chair, looking very delicate. [Sigh, my heart aches so much.] [Heartache +10086.] [It really arouses people¡¯s desire to protect her.] Because of the cat-eared lady¡¯s beauty, many people started to reward him again. Lin Tian took out a biscuit and milk and handed it to the cat-eared lady. ¡°Eat this.¡± The cat-eared lady smelled the fragrance of the food and swallowed her saliva. Her eyes were filled with desire. However, she looked at Lin Tian and did not move. Lin Tian smiled and broke off a small piece of biscuit and fed it to her. The cat-eared lady hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth and eating the small piece of biscuit. After she slowly finished eating the biscuit, Lin Tian passed the milk to her. The cat-eared lady looked at the milk carton with confusion in her eyes. Lin Tian immediately understood that she had never seen a milk carton before, so she should not have used a straw. He sucked the straw into his mouth and said, ¡°Use it like this. Don¡¯t drink too much at once.¡± Then, he passed the milk over. The cat-eared lady slowly opened her mouth, held the straw in her mouth, and took a deep sip. The taste of milk spread throughout her taste buds. Her round eyes suddenly widened, looking very cute. This was her first time tasting such delicious food! Seeing her cute expression, the livestream went into an uproar again. [Amazing! Who could tell that this was an act? I¡¯m afraid everyone would think that this was her first time drinking milk!] [Her acting skills are comparable to that of a movie queen!] [Alright, I believe that she is a real cat-eared lady!] Although the cat-eared lady thought that this was the best thing she had ever drunk in her life, she still remembered Lin Tian¡¯s words and did not drink too much. She took a small sip and stopped drinking. Seeing how obedient the cat-eared lady was, Lin Tian smiled. The people in the livestream were already mesmerized by the cat-eared lady. After drinking that mouthful of milk, the cat-eared lady¡¯s gaze toward Lin Tian changed. Originally, she felt that Lin Tian radiated a different type of feeling compared to other humans. However, now she was feeling a precious warmth. ¡°Come, continue eating.¡± Lin Tian waited for her to finish drinking before he continued to feed her biscuits. The cat-eared lady¡¯s face was flushed. Lin Tian feeding her food made her feel surprised and shy, but she did not have much strength at the moment. She had never made such an intimate move with another member of the opposite sex before. In her opinion, feeding her was a very intimate act. It could even be an act that was performed only by lovers. Therefore, she felt really shy. This shyness was genuine. There was no trace of acting. In the livestream, many people were impressed. [The little girl¡¯s acting skills are amazing!] [Streamer, I¡¯m a talent scout. Can you give me the little girl¡¯s contact information?] [Get lost! I¡¯m a director!] It took the cat-eared lady more than ten minutes to finish a piece of biscuit. The people in the livestream watched silently for ten minutes. After she finished eating, Lin Tian picked her up again and said, ¡°I¡¯ll carry you to rest now. You¡¯ll have more strength after a nap.¡± The cat-eared lady nodded obediently. She was already very sleepy when she was locked in the cage. Right when Lin Tian was about to carry her into the bedroom, he suddenly thought of something and ended the livestream through the system.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The cat-eared lady¡¯s resting scene was not suitable for a livestream. When he turned it off, Lin Tian glanced at the livestream and realized that the number of viewers had already exceeded 6,000 and was still rising. The reward for today¡¯s livestream had exceeded 100,000. [Hey hey hey, why has the livestream stopped at such a time!] [Streamer, I want to send you a blade immediately!] [Streamer, leave an address and we¡¯ll have a three-dimensional duel!] [Streamer, I have a lot of mobile data. There¡¯s no need for this.] The viewers in the livestream were instantly in an uproar because of the interruption. If it were any other streamer, these viewers would have probably blocked him immediately. However, now, they were unwilling to leave even though he had stopped livestreaming. Moreover, the number of people online had been stable, and they had even started chatting in the livestream. The newcomers who saw this situation were very confused. Why was this streamer so engaging? In the castle, when Lin Tian carried the cat-eared lady to the bedroom, he found her fast asleep. He put the cat-eared lady on the bed and covered her with the blanket. No matter what, she should get some rest first. Lin Tian took out his phone and logged in to Moujing. Then, he bought some things in batches. It would be more cost-effective if he bought things in batches. Apart from the goods, he also bought a few sets of maid clothes for the cat-eared lady. After buying everything, his Internet time for the day was over. He closed the door of the small castle, walked into the town, and found the sheriff. The sheriff was selected by Barr in the past, and he was already very old. Apart from the sheriff, the town also had a few guards who were equivalent to security guards, and they maintained the security of the tribe together. The person who paid them had been changed from Barr to Lin Tian. Lin Tian had planned to expand the military force of the town. When Lin Tian found them, he realized that not only the sheriff, but the other guards were also old men. They had no combat ability at all. The sheriff told Lin Tian, ¡°Master, when Master Barr was in charge, his salary was very low. He only earned 50 copper coins a month. It was already very good for him to be able to recruit people.¡± Lin Tian was very curious, ¡°Aren¡¯t there a lot of bandits around? Wasn¡¯t Barr afraid that the tribe will be robbed?¡± The sheriff said, ¡°There are a lot of people in the small town. Bandits usually don¡¯t come here. More than ten years ago, Master Barr¡¯s castle was robbed. After that, Master Barr became dispirited, and gradually, he couldn¡¯t pay our salaries. His territory became poorer and poorer. More of a reason for the bandits to not come.¡± Lin Tian said, ¡°Dismiss them all. Recruit ten strong young men. Each of them will be paid 300 copper coins per month. Only the former generations will be recruited.¡± The sheriff hesitated, ¡°Master, they have been working for the tribe for many years¡­¡± Lin Tian interrupted him, ¡°In a few days, there will be effortless jobs for them. I don¡¯t want freeloaders in the tribe. As long as they are willing to work, their lives will only get better and not worse.¡± The sheriff said, ¡°Okay, master, leave it to me.¡± Lin Tian thought that the sheriff was decent. Otherwise, he would have fired him as well. After all, safety was the tribe¡¯s top priority. However, he could not just randomly hire people. They had to be reliable. Then, Lin Tian found two aunties in the town who were almost 50 years old. He paid them a certain amount of copper coins every month and assigned them the job of cleaning the castle and handling the laundry. After dealing with these matters, Lin Tian walked around the tribe and more ideas came up in his mind. Then, he went to check the progress of the land cultivation. The wasteland had been plowed out. According to Lin Tian¡¯s request, the people dug out a canal and changed the path of the small river, so that it would be more convenient for irrigation. Lin Tian did some calculations in his mind. With the current progress, he could start planting tomorrow. After that, Lin Tian returned to the castle. The cat-eared lady was still asleep. Lin Tian received the second batch of items. He bought them from Moujing and the delivery time was about three days. After these items arrived, they would be temporarily stored in the system space. However, Lin Tian needed to take them all out and transfer them to Storage Space within a day. The items he bought this time were mainly farming tools, followed by clothes. The clothes were all custom-made according to the current world¡¯s style, and he had planned to use them to pay salaries. After packing up the second batch of goods, it was already nighttime. Lin Tian walked to another bedroom and fell asleep. The next morning, Lin Tian heard some sounds right after he woke up. After he put on his clothes, he walked out and found the cat-eared lady cleaning the room. The cat-eared lady saw Lin Tian and whispered, ¡°Good morning, master!¡± Lin Tian smiled and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± The cat-eared lady said, ¡°Master, my name is Jenny.¡± Jenny, it sounded pretty nice. Lin Tian said, ¡°From now on, you¡¯ll be responsible for my daily life. As for cleaning and washing clothes, it will be other people¡¯s business. Every month, I¡¯ll pay you 300 copper coins. At the same time, I¡¯ll be responsible for your food and accommodation. Is that okay?¡± Jenny hurriedly shook her head and said, ¡°Master, you¡¯ve spent so much money to save me. You don¡¯t have to pay me anymore.¡± Lin Tian did not give her a chance to refuse. ¡°I¡¯m the master. Just listen to me. Alright, go get some hot water now. There are still many things to do today.¡± Jenny replied, ¡°Yes, master.¡± She put down the broom and ran to boil water. ¡°Master, the hot water is ready.¡± Jenny quickly brought the hot water. As for herself, she had already showered when she woke up in the morning. After cleaning herself up, Jenny looked even cuter. ¡°Master, I¡¯ll help you wash.¡± Jenny immediately said after seeing that Lin Tian was going to wash himself. ¡°No need, I can do it myself,¡± Lin Tian refused. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jenny had already put the towel into the hot water. Lin Tian¡¯s towel was made of pure cotton and was only worth about ten yuan. However, in this world, it was a rare item. Jenny was very curious. Her master seemed to have many magical things. In the past, she was neither a servant nor a maid. She was doing all these to show gratitude. If not for Lin Tian, she might have led a miserable life. She would have been sold to disgusting men who would have ruined her the day they bought her. To Jenny, that was even scarier than death. However, Lin Tian saved her and did not do those things to her. He even gave her delicious food. When she woke up in the morning and found herself lying on a clean bed, fully dressed, without any discomfort, tears immediately flowed down her face. From then on, she had made up her mind to be Lin Tian¡¯s maid. She wanted to repay Lin Tian! When Lin Tian saw Jenny taking the initiative, he was a little embarrassed to refuse. Fortunately, he was not have livestreaming right now, otherwise, the livestream would have exploded again. After washing up, Lin Tian took out biscuits and milk and also gave Jenny a portion. ¡°Master, I¡¯ll just eat coarse grains.¡± Jenny was a little uneasy. She never dared to imagine eating such delicious food every day.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Take it.¡± Lin Tian forced it into Jenny¡¯s hand. Jenny¡¯s nose immediately turned sour. She took the biscuit and quietly ate it. After breakfast, Lin Tian brought Jenny along with him. Today was the day to plant potatoes. By the time they arrived at the recultivated land, dozens of workers were already busy working. There were men and women, each accounting for half of the workers. Lin Tian switched his phone to the auto-hidden recording mode and logged into the livestream. He soon discovered that there were already a thousand people in the livestream. Although some people might be away from their phones, the fact that he could make people wait in an inactive livestream was enough to prove how engaging his livestream was. There were also active viewers who were chatting in the livestream. Lin Tian took a look and turned on the livestream. The black screen immediately faded, and the livestream became lively. [The streamer is finally here!] [Does the streamer have some magical treasures? Why do I feel uncomfortable if I don¡¯t see him?] [Seeing the streamer¡¯s handsome face, I suddenly feel that the world is a beautiful place. However, streamer, can you let me see the cat-eared lady?] [My God, the cat-eared lady is right behind the streamer! She¡¯s so cute!] [I even picked out where our children¡¯s kindergarten will be.] [Comment above, get lost! The cat-eared lady Is mine!] Within a few minutes, the number of people online in the livestream jumped from 1,000 to 2,000, 3,000, and all the way to 5,000! Moreover, it did not stop. Many people had obviously turned on the notifications for the livestream. ¡°We¡¯ll start planting potatoes today. Since the residents of the territory are around, I won¡¯t say much. Everyone, just watch.¡± After Lin Tian finished speaking, he walked to the recultivated land. This piece of land was very large. It was divided into many pieces and was about ten acres. ¡°Diana, tell everyone to come over.¡± Lin Tian instructed the thin and weak girl, Diana. ¡°Everyone, come over quickly! The Lord has something to say!¡± Diana shouted at the others. Lin Tian put down the bag in his hand and took out a potato. ¡°This is a potato. Let me demonstrate. Everyone, look carefully. The three people with the best performance today will be rewarded with a piece of clothing.¡± Then, Lin Tian took out a piece of clothing. Instantly, the eyes of all the workers lit up. Because they had never owned such good clothes before. In the tribe, families with ordinary conditions could hardly get a new set of clothes every year. [Their acting is too realistic. Look at their expressions, they¡¯re too good.] [That¡¯s right, it looks real.] The people in the livestream watched with great interest. ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, a woman who was at the edge of the crowd screamed. Everyone looked over and took a step back in fright. They saw a several-meter-long python swim out from the newly opened canal. [F*ck!] [Sh*t, why did such a huge python suddenly appear?!] [I¡¯m so scared!] In the livestream, because of the appearance of this huge python, the screen was instantly flooded with comments. After the huge python swam out of the water, it was not afraid of the dozens of people in front of it at all. It stuck out its tongue and quickly swam toward the crowd. Even though everyone was holding farm tools in their hands, they were scared and retreated one after another. Only a few people did not. ¡°Chase it away,¡± Lin Tian said. As he spoke, he took out a knife. The few men gathered their courage and charged forward with the farm tools in their hands. A middle-aged man threw a hoe at the python. The python reacted quickly. It retracted its head and dodged his attack. Then, it quickly swam over. A man next to it hurriedly threw another hoe. The python retracted its head and dodged again. [F*ck, this must be a monster! Its reaction is so fast!] [I know the answer to this question. It must be Bai Suzhen¡¯s1 relative.] [Can the streamer still plant potatoes today?] While the livestream was in a heated discussion, the battle between the few men and the python continued. The men continued to attack with their hoes, but the python reacted very quickly. At this time, the python dodged another attack. Then, it suddenly turned its head and chased after the man. What was more frightening was that the man happened to step on a rock and fell to the ground. Right when he was about to be attacked by the python, it suddenly stopped. Everyone looked and found that cat-eared Jenny had unknowingly walked in front of the python. She opened her palm and pointed it at the python, speaking some mysterious language that no one could understand. Following her actions, the python stopped its attack and looked at Jenny with its tongue sticking out. Jenny said, ¡°Return to the forest. That¡¯s where you belong.¡± The python looked at her for a long time before it turned its head and returned to the canal, swimming toward the forest in the distance. The residents who witnessed this scene were filled with admiration for Jenny. The viewers in the livestream were also in an uproar. [This is amazing. The cat-eared lady actually has such a magical ability.] [Which God can solve this puzzle? How can he hire a python as an actor?] [Does anyone else think that the streamer has actually transmigrated?] [F*ck, this is too awesome!] [Shiba Go Go Go sent out ten cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] Because of the cat-eared lady¡¯s performance, the popularity of the livestream rose rapidly. Even after it broke through 10,000 viewers, it did not stop. After the python left, everyone gradually relaxed. Lin Tian looked at Jenny. The cat-eared lady¡¯s ability was beyond his expectations. Lin Tian felt as if he had picked up a treasure. ¡°Jenny, you did well,¡± Lin Tian praised sincerely. Hearing Lin Tian¡¯s praise, Jenny¡¯s eyes curved. ¡°This is what I should do, master.¡± [Master???] [D*mn, streamer, the cat-eared lady¡¯s current identity can¡¯t be your maid, right?] [A massive reward in return for help. My husband has eloped with my maid to another world. What should I do?] Because of the word ¡°master¡±, the livestream instantly became lively. [The streamer¡¯s reputation has exceeded 100,000. You have received a chance to draw the lottery. Do you want to draw a lottery?] Suddenly, a voice sounded from his phone. Lin Tian did not understand the exact calculation method for his reputation, but since there was a chance to draw, he naturally would not let it go. [Congratulations, streamer, you have received a master-level construction skill.] [Congratulations, streamer, you have received a magic skill: basic fire control.] Lin Tian was very surprised. He had actually received two rewards, and one of them was a magic skill! The technology of this world was not advanced, but it had magic. However, there were very few magicians, and their status was especially high. They were almost equal to certain nobles. Surprisingly, he had won magic in his first lottery draw! Very soon, his wins would be integrated into his body. Then, Lin Tian looked around at the workers around him and said, ¡°Now, I¡¯ll teach everyone how to plant potatoes.¡± The method to plant potatoes was very simple. After all, potatoes were considered the easiest crop to grow. They were not picky about the land, and the yield was high. It was a good way to solve the scarcity of food and warm clothing. Lin Tian taught the workers around him about the things to pay attention to when planting potatoes. With clothes as a reward, everyone was exceptionally focused. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation About ten minutes later, everyone had essentially mastered the technique. Lin Tian took out some potatoes and asked them to start planting. Then, he asked Diana to pay attention to everyone¡¯s activity. He stayed and observed them for a long time. Only when he saw that everyone had mastered the technique did he proceed to leave. At this moment, a little boy suddenly ran over while panting. ¡°Lord! Someone is causing trouble in the small town!¡± Lin Tian asked, ¡°Who¡¯s causing trouble?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the scoundrels from the neighboring town. They said that Master Barr owed them a lot of money in the past. Now that Master Barr has left, they can only ask for money from you. However, Lord, although Master Barr was down and out in the past, the possibility of him borrowing money from them is very low. These people are probably trying to blackmail you.¡± Lin Tian glanced at the little boy. He was rather clever. After a moment of silence, he said to the few men who had rushed forward to deal with the python previously, ¡°From now on, you don¡¯t have to work in the fields anymore. Instead, you will join the tribe¡¯s army. Your pay will be 300 copper coins per month.¡± The few men¡¯s faces immediately revealed expressions of joy. 300 copper coins, that was 3 silver coins! That was a very high salary! The other men looked envious, but they also knew the reason why those men were chosen. They were people who dared to fight against the python. One choice led them to a different fate. ¡°Let¡¯s go and see who the troublemakers are.¡± Lin Tian brought a few men and Jenny to the small town. [Aiya, finally some troublemakers!] [My watermelons are ready.] [Streamer, don¡¯t embarrass the transmigrators.] [Streamer, give the cat-eared lady a scene and I¡¯ll give you a cloud-piercing arrow!] As Lin Tian walked toward the town, comments kept popping up in the livestream. As the number of people increased, the chat area could no longer be read. Every second, new comments were pushing the old ones away. The screen was also densely packed. Lin Tian, on the other hand, was probably the most aloof streamer. He was so focused on dealing with things that he had forgotten about the existence of his livestream. Fortunately, the system automatically recorded everything. When Lin Tian walked into the town, he saw a few tall and strong ruffian-looking men talking to the security officer. Sure enough, there were gangsters everywhere. ¡°The Lord is here!¡± When Lin Tian arrived, the onlookers immediately made way for him. ¡°You are the new lord?¡± asked a gangster who was holding a knife. Lin Tian said indifferently, ¡°That¡¯s right. What do you want?¡± That gangster said, ¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s just that Barr has borrowed money from us before and left before he returned it to us. We couldn¡¯t find him, so we could only look for you.¡± Lin Tian asked, ¡°How much?¡± The gangster clapped his hands with a small knife and grinned. ¡°Not much, 50 gold coins.¡± [F*ck, 50 gold coins! He¡¯s asking for too much!] [How shameless!] [Calm down, it¡¯s just a script, don¡¯t take it seriously.] Lin Tian laughed as well. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m someone that can be blackmailed?¡± ¡°Blackmailed? This is legitimate!¡± The thug¡¯s face instantly darkened. Lin Tian sneered, ¡°Look at whose territory this is.¡± As soon as he said that, the few men he called previously proceeded to block the gangster with hoes. ¡°Idiot, do you think a few hoes can scare us?¡± The gangsters laughed without restraint. ¡°Return the money immediately, or I will make your town disappear!¡± The gangster with the knife suddenly displayed a cold expression. ¡°Ah, are you guys crazy?¡± A scream sounded. Lin Tian looked toward the direction of the sound. In front of a wooden house not far away, a few gangsters were holding torches, as if they were threatening to throw it in. Lin Tian¡¯s expression turned cold. [Looks like he has a ruthless character.] [He¡¯s ruthless!] [Streamer, don¡¯t be afraid, just do it!] Lin Tian¡¯s voice was cold. ¡°Take them down and hang them up.¡± Hearing his words, the few men with hoes rushed toward the gangsters. These people were ready to show off in front of Lin Tian, each more reckless than the other. Although the leader of the gangsters had a knife in his hand, it was nothing compared to the hoes. In the blink of an eye, the leader of the gangsters suffered a few hits. ¡°Burn them!¡± The head of the gangsters was also equally ruthless and immediately ordered his men. Thus, the gangsters threw the torches into the wooden house. The flames instantly surged up. The houses in the town were connected. Once one of the houses burned up, the situation would be dire. None of the houses would be able to survive. Someone shouted, ¡°Extinguish the fire! Quickly extinguish the fire! We must not let it burn up!¡± Within a short moment, the fire was almost reaching the roof. Seeing that the situation was about to go out of control, Lin Tian walked quickly to the wooden house and stretched out his hands. As if they were being suppressed, the flames that were burning fiercely just a moment ago extinguished. [Awesome, a human-shaped fire extinguisher!] [What¡¯s going on? Where is the fire extinguisher hidden? Why didn¡¯t I see the dust from the fire extinguisher?] [Which big shot can answer my question? Can the livestream add special effects?] [This, you don¡¯t know. The streamer has magic.] This teasing audience member definitely would not have thought that what he said was the correct answer. [It¡¯s possible to do all of this by setting it up in advance. However, I have a feeling that things aren¡¯t that simple.] [I¡¯m utterly impressed!] The livestream was flooded. Lin Tian¡¯s actions shocked many people. To some people, it was not easy to achieve this kind of special effect in a livestream. Moreover, it was not through some common means of extinguishing a fire. Even if it was arranged in advance, it was not an easy task. However, none of them thought in the ¡°streamer has indeed transmigrated¡± direction. After all, no matter how difficult it was, technology was so advanced. There must be some means and methods. The other netizens were not so troubled. They just watched the development with great interest. Their thoughts were very simple. It did not matter whether it was real or not, as long as it was interesting. The viewers in the livestream were not the only ones who were shocked. The residents of the small town were also shocked. ¡°Mage! Our Lord is actually a respected mage!¡± shouted some of the residents of the small town. When those gangsters heard the word mage, they were shocked. ¡°Catch them,¡± Lin Tian said. In an instant, many people rushed toward those gangsters and captured all of them. ¡°Hang them up.¡± Lin Tian used the basic fire control spell that he had just mastered to extinguish the fire and said coldly. His town had almost been destroyed. He could not let the culprit off easily. In the end, these gangsters were tied up and hung outside the town. After this incident, Lin Tian¡¯s prestige had increased exponentially. Using the aftermath of this incident, Lin Tian personally began to recruit troops. The security officer acted conservatively and did not understand Lin Tian¡¯s intentions. He only recruited three people after one day. Therefore, Lin Tian personally took action. He stood in the square and shouted, ¡°Those aged 18-40 years old whose families have lived in the tribe for generations can come and register as the first batch of core troops! Each person will receive 300 copper coins a month!¡± Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Once they heard the salary, many young people were instantly tempted. Within half an hour, Lin Tian had recruited more than 30 young and strong people. After knowing that Lin Tian was a respected mage, their expressions changed. Previously, although Lin Tian was their Lord, they only needed to greet him respectfully when they met. However, now, they were filled with respect for Lin Tian. ¡°From now on, the five of you will be team leaders. Each of you will lead a 10-man team. None of you will need to do anything else. You will only need to train and patrol. I will provide you with food and at the same time, your families will not have to pay taxes.¡± Lin Tian promoted the few people who dealt with the python to team leaders. Then, he explained the rules. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with joy. Such a treatment could be considered a gift! Everyone was determined to perform well! [The streamer finally has his own army. Congratulations!] [Wow, congratulations, streamer, for taking the first step to dominating the other world!] [Streamer, aren¡¯t there too few people? There are only about 30 people. There should be at least 1,000 people.] [Are you stupid? How many people are there in the streamer¡¯s tribe?] [White Rabbit sent the streamer a Ferrari!] [Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick sent the streamer a Ferrari!] [We will step down from the competition between the big shots.] [We look up to the big shots.] After Lin Tian finished explaining the rules, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s start training now.¡± Everyone immediately looked at him. Lin Tian continued, ¡°From here to the Casa River, run twice a day. Those who can¡¯t endure it can quit.¡± The 30 over people all looked at Lin Tian in surprise. Their training content was actually running? ¡°Lord, our training is only running?¡± asked one of them in disbelief. ¡°Yes, running. During the training period, everyone will get an extra drumstick every day.¡± As he spoke, Lin Tian took out a bag filled with drumsticks. The source of the drumsticks was naturally Moujing. When the 30 over people saw the drumsticks, their eyes lit up. At this age, it was not easy to fill their stomachs. As for eating meat, they could only dream about it. Many people stared at the bag and began to swallow their saliva. [F*ck, are drumsticks that tempting?] [What else? Don¡¯t you like chicken drumsticks?] Seeing the peoples¡¯ eager expressions, the viewers in the livestream were all amused. With chicken drumsticks as a reward, none of them said anything more. Lin Tian left five people to patrol and let the others start training. Casa River was at the edge of the territory, it was about seven to eight kilometers away from where they were. They only needed to run to complete their training and would be given chicken drumsticks to eat. In the eyes of these people, this was a wonderful thing. However, it was uncertain as to whether they would still think this way after running. [Naive. Do they really think that running is easy?] [I want to see their miserable state after running for more than ten kilometers in one trip.] [Let me tell everyone some unfortunate news. According to my prediction, the streamer is going to stop livestreaming soon.] As soon as this comment appeared, the streamer¡¯s channel went dark. [Holy shit!] [The streamer is like an official. He won¡¯t stream even when I beg him to.] [I¡¯m in love.] The comments in the streamer¡¯s channel went crazy. Most of the viewers were not satisfied and were reluctant to leave. [Someone suggested: Why don¡¯t we go help the streamer promote? Once the number of online viewers exceeds 100,000, the streamer might be able to stream for a little longer.] [Good Idea! Let¡¯s do it now!] [+1.] Therefore, in order to watch a little more of the livestream every day, the viewers started to promote in various places. Some viewers found the cat-eared lady¡¯s image in the livestream playback and created some small videos to promote on a short video website. The viewers understood what the public liked, and the cat-eared lady quickly became popular. Many people followed the cat-eared lady to Dowyin and found Lin Tian¡¯s livestream. Then, they saw many people chatting in the livestream even though the streamer had already stopped streaming. After Lin Tian established his tribe¡¯s army, he felt much relaxed. He did not have to do what he did last time, where he owned numerous glass cups but did not dare to sell them in large quantities. There were many bandits around. Those bandits did not come here because everyone knew that Barr had been down and out in the past. Even so, according to the residents of the tribe, whenever the crops matured, there would still be some bandits trying to steal or rob food. When Lin Tian¡¯s tribe became wealthy, there should be bandits coming over very soon. Lin Tian¡¯s countermeasure was very simple. The first thing he needed to do was to increase the armed forces of the army. In Moujing, he could buy an excellent bow and arrow with a few hundred yuan. Even if it was a training bow, its lethality was still very high, and it had a range of about ten meters. As bows and arrows required strong arms, Lin Tian was prepared to combine the bow and arrow with the crossbow. These crossbows were naturally used for training, not for military use. Most importantly, the arrows for the crossbow could not be purchased. The shopping restrictions in Moujing were very strict. The arrows for bows could not be purchased either, but they could be self-made. Lin Tian still had some time to surf the Internet today, so he decided to buy some weapons. He searched for a long time before he found a shop that was said to be owned by a manufacturer. He chatted with the shop owner and asked him to make a batch of crossbows with a longer range and also provide him with arrows for the bows and crossbows. The shop owner refused and said that it was prohibited. At the same time, there was no way to transport them. Lin Tian had no choice but to take out his weapon of mass destruction, increasing the price! He told the shop owner that there was no need to consider the transport problem. Under the temptation of money, the shop owner agreed. However, due to technical and other restrictions, he did not dare and could not make the crossbow too powerful. In the end, Lin Tian used the price of 2,000 yuan per crossbow to take down the low-quality crossbow. Although it was said to be a low-quality crossbow, its lethality was already very outstanding. The range for effective lethality was more than 50 meters, and the loading speed was also fast. Lin Tian bought five crossbows and five bows at once. After that, he searched all over Moujing and finally found some craft knives, those that had not been sharpened yet! During this process, he realized that the goods sold in Moujing were very complete. There were knife sellers, sword sellers, spear sellers. Of course, all of them were unsharpened knives and swords. They were sold in the form of handicrafts. Before he transmigrated, these weapons could only be collected. They could not be brought to public places. Moreover, they were expensive. A few thousand yuan each. Correspondingly, their quality was very good. The materials used were all excellent steel. In the current world, they were all first-class weapons. Lin Tian looked at the money in his account. After a few days of frenzied shopping, he only had a few thousand yuan left. Because of these few days¡¯ livestream, especially after today¡¯s fight with the gangsters and the viewers¡¯ rewards, he had accumulated more than 300,000 yuan in Dowyin. However, he still needed a few more days to withdraw it. Lin Tian suddenly thought of white bar1! After transmigrating, he could only use Dowyin and Moujing on his phone. Hence, white bar that came with Moujing could also be used. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian had a high credit limit for white bars. He had several tens of thousands of white bars and several hundreds of thousands of gold bars. This was because of his part-time work while studying at a university, where he often used it to make money. He decisively used the white bars to buy 50 unsharpened knives. He bought knives instead of swords because it was easier for ordinary people to use knives. All they needed to do was slash. The knives that Lin Tian bought were similar to the Chinese Tang Knife, which was similar to the knives in this world. Moreover, since they were handicrafts, they were all very good quality items. Besides the knives, he also bought 50 stainless steel shields. These shields were much cheaper than the knives, only costing a few hundred yuan. When he bought the shields, Lin Tian had the store design a logo and had it printed on the shields. The logo had a Chinese Redbud flower pattern, elegant and noble. Lin Tian chose the Chinese Redbud flower because he liked it and had even planted it before. Then, he bought a lot of porcelain, glass cups, crystals, tea leaves, and so on. These were the items he would use for trade. He did not have much money in this world, especially gold coins, which were extremely rare. He could buy gold from Moujing, but it was not worth it. A glass cup that was worth around ten yuan could be exchanged for a few gold coins. Unless Lin Tian¡¯s brain had been kicked by a donkey, otherwise, he would not spend money to buy gold from Moujing. Considering that the knife needed to be sharpened, Lin Tian bought dozens of pieces of 320-mesh, 800-mesh, and 1,500-mesh grindstones each. He also bought a large number of sandpapers that were 1,500-mesh and above. By the time he finished shopping, he had used up all of his Internet time for the day. Lin Tian then went around town and saw a house. He found the owner of the house and spent some copper coins to rent it. As for where the owner of the house would move to, it was not within his considerations. Lin Tian planned to use the house as a temporary headquarters for the army. ¡°Hello, Lord.¡± ¡°Hello, Lord.¡± Along the way, everyone who met Lin Tian greeted him respectfully. After the gangster incident, Lin Tian¡¯s identity as a mage had been exposed. In the eyes of the town¡¯s residents, his status rose rapidly. Therefore, their gazes toward Lin Tian were now filled with respect. When Lin Tian returned to the castle, he found that the cute maid outfit that had been custom-made for the cat-eared lady had arrived. He did not expect it to arrive so soon. He took a closer look and realized that the shop had sent it to him via express delivery, interesting. The type of delivery chosen by the shop would actually affect the speed at which Lin Tian would receive the goods. ¡°Jenny, come and try on your new clothes.¡± Lin Tian passed a few sets of maid outfits to Jenny. ¡°Wow, these clothes are beautiful. Thank you, master.¡± Jenny liked these maid outfits very much. She immediately took the clothes back to her bedroom and changed into one of the sets. When he saw Jenny come out, Lin Tian¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. He felt his heart melt. Jenny walked around in front of Lin Tian and asked happily, ¡°Master, am I beautiful?¡± Lin Tian nodded. She was very beautiful. However, Jenny¡¯s tail was not shown. He forgot to ask the shop owner to cut a hole in the back. Jenny noticed this very quickly. ¡°Master, I¡¯ll go and change it!¡± It did not take long before she was done changing. Now, her little tail was exposed, and she looked really cute. Lin Tian could not resist himself and picked up her little tail, looked at it, and said, ¡°Jenny, your tail is adorable.¡± Jenny¡¯s body trembled, and her face turned red. Only then did Lin Tian realize her strange reaction. He could not help but wonder if the cat-eared lady¡¯s tail was very sensitive. He let go of Jenny¡¯s little tail. Jenny¡¯s face was so red that it was on the verge of exploding. She hurriedly found an excuse to leave. ¡°Master, I¡­ I¡¯ll go wash these clothes.¡± The next morning, Jenny changed into the maid outfit, and she looked even cuter than before. Since there was nothing important to do today, Lin Tian decided to livestream his daily routine and then sleep in. Thus, he started the livestream on the castle¡¯s platform. At this moment, he was surprised to find seven to eight thousand people waiting for him in the livestream! It was not common to have so many people waiting for him while being offline. Moreover, during the waiting process, there were already viewers who had started sending him gifts. The livestream lit up. In less than a minute, there were more than 10,000 people in the livestream. [I hurried here!] [I¡¯m alive, I¡¯m alive. I¡¯m relying on the streamer¡¯s handsome face to hang on to my last breath.] [Cat-eared lady! Cat-eared lady!] [Cat-eared lady +1. One scene and you¡¯ll get a cloud-piercing arrow. I¡¯m not lying!] The number of people in the livestream kept rising. Very quickly, the number of viewers broke through 20,000 and kept increasing. It was obvious that the viewers¡¯ promotion yesterday had been very effective. The cat-eared lady became popular on various websites! Many netizens came looking for her. The moment they entered the livestream, they were surprised to find about 1,000 people chatting in an inactive livestream. After asking around, they realized they were not at the wrong place. After watching the replay of the livestream, they instantly became excited. This was because Lin Tian¡¯s livestream really suited their tastes! Although they felt that Lin Tian was following a script, it was still too natural! After watching the livestream for a few minutes, they were completely immersed in it. It was much more enjoyable than watching a TV series. Therefore, from yesterday until today, during the period when Lin Tian¡¯s livestream was offline, he had actually received more than 100,000 rewards! Legitimate rewards! Unlike some streamers, a large portion of the millions of rewards they received from time to time came from their own pockets. [Ge Cheng Aunty Li gave the streamer 100 Ferraris!] [Comment: Little handsome, good luck!] The Ferraris¡¯ special effects were instantly shown on the screen. The viewers who had just entered the livestream were instantly dazzled. [Awesome!!] [100 cars, rich auntie, notice me!] [Auntie, are you lacking pets at home? Pets that have attended university!] The livestream instantly exploded. Comments and special effects flew at the same time, densely filling up the screen. Some of the viewers who had received the livestream notification came in and saw the screen full of comments. They were all confused. Some of the viewers came in because of the Ferraris, but after they saw how lively the livestream was, they decided to remain. As a result, the number of viewers in Lin Tian¡¯s livestream exceeded 100,000! The livestream became more and more lively. [Ge Cheng Aunty Li sent 100 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] The special effects of the cloud-piercing arrows flew across the screen. [White Rabbit sent 100 Ferraris to the streamer!] [Comment: Hubby, this is for you!] [Wow, it¡¯s so lively!] [I¡¯m enjoying this show!] [Wasn¡¯t there someone who was his sidekick? Where did they go?] Immediately, someone mentioned Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick. Very soon, Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick arrived. As soon as they arrived, they gave a huge reward. [Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick sent 100 Ferraris to the streamer!] [Comments: This is my husband!] [Rich lady, notice me!] [666! The streamer is awesome!] [Eh, what is the streamer planning to do?] [Ah ah ah, the cat-eared lady is here! So cute, so cute!] The appearance of the cat-eared lady once again caused a huge wave in the livestream! Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [It really is the cat-eared lady!] [Oh my God, her ears are so cute!] [Maid costume!] However, when they saw what the cat-eared lady was doing, they all started to cry. Because the cat-eared lady was kneeling on the ground while she held a basin of hot water to wash Lin Tian¡¯s face. [Streamer, take my blade!] [Streamer, how can you bear to do that?] [I¡¯m so jealous!] However, to Lin Tian, it was not a problem at all. Under the cat-eared lady¡¯s service, Lin Tian washed his face and began to eat breakfast. The breakfast was very simple. There were only apples, biscuits, and milk. He ate very elegantly. Thus, he actually received a lot of gifts as he ate. [The streamer looks so handsome when he eats!] [The streamer really looks like a noble!] The viewers in the livestream happily praised the streamer. Meanwhile, in the forest outside Lin Tian¡¯s territory, someone barged in. Moreover, her appearance was actually somewhat similar to Jenny¡¯s. Except, her gaze was even sharper. There was even a small knife in her hand. With a light movement, she jumped onto a tree, and then onto another tree, and quickly rushed toward Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. She was very agile and was obviously a skilled warrior. However, upon closer inspection, there were some wounds on her body. She must have went through a battle not too long ago. She¡­ was Jenny¡¯s sister! After learning that her tribe had been attacked and that her sister had been captured, she returned from afar and tracked her all the way here. Lin Tian knew nothing about this. He was livestreaming his daily life. He patrolled around town along with the cat-eared lady and was also assigning work. During this time, he even went to check on the gangsters. Those people were still hanging. Someone fed them every day to ensure their survival. Hanging them here could effectively deter other people who intend to cause trouble. As for when to let them go, it would depend on when Lin Tian wanted to. Lin Tian realized that after this simple livestream, the amount of cash he could withdraw from his account had already exceeded a million, and his reputation had also soared, breaking through 200,000. However, when he drew the lottery again, he realized that the reputation needed for the lottery had also increased. From 100,000 to 200,000. Apparently, the reputation needed for the lottery would constantly increase. However, Lin Tian did not pay much attention to it and directly started the lottery draw. [Congratulations, streamer, you have drawn the skill: beginner fighting technique.] [Congratulations, streamer, your physical fitness has increased by 1.5 times.] Lin Tian was still very satisfied with the result of the lottery draw. Whether it was the increase in physical fitness or the beginner fighting technique, they were all very useful to him. After all, this world was rather dangerous and he needed the ability to protect himself. The two-hour livestream ended very quickly. Today¡¯s livestream was very relaxed, but the livestream was still very lively. Toward the end, the number of viewers in the livestream was around 150,000! Moreover, the most important thing was that the retaining rate of these people was very high. A large portion of them were attracted by the cat-eared lady, but later on, they discovered Lin Tian¡¯s wonderful personal charm. Even though he was very cold and aloof and did not interact much with the audience in the livestream. He would not even say any words of thanks when people gave him rewards. Especially today, when three rich women each gave 100 Ferraris, which was equivalent to a one-time reward of hundreds of thousands of yuan, he was still so cold and aloof! However, this made him even more fascinating. Be it men or women, they were all captivated by him. To them, Lin Tian had a very unique temperament. He was like a real noble, as if he was a Lord in another world. What they did not know was that Lin Tian was indeed a Lord in another world. However, ordinary nobles did not have Lin Tian¡¯s temperament at all! In short, Lin Tian¡¯s livestream had become much more popular because of the viewers¡¯ spontaneous promotion! However, the viewers who had been promoting everywhere realized that even though the number of online viewers had exceeded 150,000, the duration of Lin Tian¡¯s livestream today had not changed at all! [Oh my God, the streamer is too stubborn!] [Why! Why can¡¯t he lengthen the duration of his livestream!] [Everyone, continue promoting! When the number of people in the livestream room increases to 200,000, 500,000, or even 1,000,000, the streamer might stream a little longer!] Thus, in order to let Lin Tian stream a little longer every day, more viewers began to promote Lin Tian! In the tribe, after Lin Tian ended his livestream, he brought the cat-eared lady and continued strolling around the tribe. He did not forget the master-level construction skill he had obtained during his first lottery draw. In the past, he had never learned architecture before. However, after obtaining this skill, his current ability was comparable to a master-level construction engineer. ¡°This is a good location.¡± He looked around and finally settled on a location. The location was close to a small river, so he did not have to worry about the water source. Furthermore, the surrounding terrain was flat. That was right, Lin Tian was planning to build a new castle and town. In a few days, he would be able to withdraw the money from Dowyin. Based on the income from the livestream, Lin Tian would soon have a few million in his hands. By then, Lin Tian would be able to buy cement in bulk from Moujing. On the other hand, he could directly use the stones available in this world. Without the master-level construction skills, building castles and towns would not be an easy task. Though now, the most important technical problem had been solved. After inspecting the address, Lin Tian brought the cat-eared lady to Casa River. It did not take long for him to choose suitable stones and sand. Everything was ready. He did not need steel bars yet because the first phase of the construction was to lay the groundwork for the two-story building. Moreover, the first thing he needed to build was the city wall. After all, bandits were rampant in this world. At this moment, Jenny¡¯s sister who sneaked in happened to see Lin Tian and Jenny behind him! Joy immediately appeared on her face. She took a quick glance and found that Jenny did not seem to have been abused, so she hid in the dark and continued to observe. She saw no hint of despair or sadness on Jenny¡¯s face. The clothes on Jenny¡¯s body were also very beautiful, more beautiful than any clothes she had ever worn. Moreover, she had never seen such clothes in the Beastmen Kingdom¡¯s Imperial City. Suddenly, she noticed a small action by Jenny. Jenny had been quietly following behind Lin Tian, but from time to time, she would raise her head to look at Lin Tian. Her gaze was similar to someone who was looking at their beloved! At this moment, Lin Tian turned around and faced Jenny sideways. Jenny¡¯s gaze landed on Lin Tian¡¯s side face, and her face instantly flushed red. Jenny¡¯s sister could not help but be surprised. Did Jenny like this human? Perhaps it was just a good impression, but it was obvious that this impression was evolving toward liking.. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation What made Jenny¡¯s sister more surprised was that according to her speculation, Jenny had just arrived here not long ago! In such a short period of time, Jenny had actually developed a good impression of a human noble, and this human noble showed no signs of forcing her. Who was this human noble? No matter who he was, being in the human territory was dangerous for Jenny! Thinking of this, Jenny¡¯s sister was ready to knock out Lin Tian and take Jenny away. However, before she could do anything, she heard some noises. Cats and cat-eared ladies were similar in certain aspects, just that one was a beast and the other an animal. A cat¡¯s vision, hearing, smell, reaction speed, and running speed were far superior to humans. Moreover, cat-eared ladies were more powerful than cats in these aspects. The cat-eared lady who had undergone special training was a rather powerful assassin. Even on a battlefield, she possessed a very strong combat strength. Plus, Jenny¡¯s older sister was a warrior who had been training since her childhood. Therefore, she had long heard the movements from afar. A few minutes later, dozens of people ran over together. It was the tribal army that Lin Tian had formed. They were running. Initially, Lin Tian told them that running was the only training content. They found it overly simple. Though now, they no longer had such thoughts! They were exhausted after 30 to 40 kilometers of running every day. However, facing the temptation of high wages and chicken drumsticks, only three people had quit so far. In the past two days, people who had been living in the town heard the news and joined in as well. Now, the size of the tribal army had reached over 50 people. ¡°Lord!¡± When the dozens of people saw Lin Tian, they all stopped to greet him. Lin Tian nodded, ¡°Well done, keep up the good work!¡± ¡°Yes, Lord!¡± When the dozens of people heard Lin Tian¡¯s praise, they were instantly filled with energy and carried on running. Once they were a distance away, Jenny¡¯s sister quickly approached Lin Tian. She leaped lightly and rushed out abruptly. Halfway through, her expression suddenly changed. An extremely weak feeling suddenly emerged in her body. Instantly, her head started to feel dizzy and a stabbing pain came from her waist. She clutched her waist and resented, why would it flare up now! Then¡­ she fell. ¡°Ah! Sister!¡± Before she fainted, she heard Jenny shouting. ¡°She¡¯s your sister?¡± Lin Tian looked at the cat-eared lady in Jenny¡¯s arms and asked. Jenny nodded. ¡°Yes, she¡¯s my sister, Mary. She was sent to a mysterious place for training when she was young and we can only see each other once a year. She must have sneaked out to look for me. Oh no¡­ She¡¯s injured!¡± Lin Tian went forward and saw a deep wound on Mary¡¯s waist. It had even festered. He touched Mary¡¯s forehead and found that it was boiling hot. ¡°Her wound is infected,¡± Lin Tian said. What Mary was suffering from now was most likely an acute illness that had resulted from a long period of wound infection. The symptoms were festering, coma, and high fever. In the world he originally lived in, during the era of the cold war, many warriors had died from wound infection. The casualty rate was very high. With the current medical standards of the world, Mary¡¯s current situation was very severe. Unless she could find a magician who could perform healing magic. However, magicians were rare and it was impossible to find them in a short period of time. Fortunately, she met Lin Tian. Lin Tian had a friend who was a doctor in the past, so he happened to have some knowledge in this area. Lin Tian said, ¡°Let me do it. Her situation is very critical and she needs to be taken care of immediately.¡± As he spoke, he picked up Mary. Mary was very light, weighing less than a hundred pounds. For Lin Tian, who just had his physique strengthened, it was not a problem at all. He carried Mary back to the castle and then took out all kinds of simple and commonly used medical supplies from Storage Space. He had purchased these things from Moujing immediately upon his transmigration. First, he had to clean Mary¡¯s wound to prevent it from further worsening. Lin Tian cut open the clothes around the girl¡¯s waist and saw a very long and deep wound on her waist. The wound was more than ten centimeters long and more than one centimeter deep. This kind of wound looked very scary, but in Lin Tian¡¯s original world, it was not difficult to treat. However, Mary probably only cleaned the wound and then bandaged it to stop the bleeding, which led to the infection. After she was injured, she had most likely traveled for a long time. Couple with being exhausted, a series of problems were bound to emerge. Lin Tian lit up the alcohol and disinfected a small knife. Then, he put on medical gloves and slowly removed the infected flesh from Mary¡¯s wound. Throughout the whole process, Jenny stood and watched by the side. She was very worried, but she remained silent. She had never seen Lin Tian¡¯s way of handling things. However, she trusted Lin Tian very much, so she did not disturb him. After Lin Tian removed the infected flesh, he washed the wound with water and sterilized it with iodophor. After everything was done, he took out the classic anti-infection drug, penicillin. ¡°Pry open her mouth.¡± Lin Tian mashed the penicillin v potassium tablets and put them in a spoon. ¡°Okay.¡± Jenny hurried over and pried open Mary¡¯s mouth. Lin Tian fed her all the penicillin, then propped her up to let her swallow it. Finally, he took out a pill and fed it to Mary. This pill was used to detoxify and lower her temperature, and it could also prevent sepsis. He told Jenny, ¡°Give her some hot water every once in a while.¡± Mary¡¯s current condition was still fine. The infection did not lead to her suffering from sepsis, so the current steps were enough to treat her. After treating Mary¡¯s wound, Lin Tian left Jenny¡¯s bedroom. According to Mary¡¯s condition, she would probably be unconscious for a few more days. With Jenny taking care of her, there should not be any major problems. Then, Lin Tian went to the field to check on the situation. The potatoes had been planted, and he had arranged a new task for the workers. That was to dig the foundation of the city wall at the place he had chosen. After giving out the task, Lin Tian came to the town and ordered the sheriff, ¡°Send a few men to the neighboring town to recruit some men. 200 copper coins per month, food is provided. Preferably reliable men.¡± ¡°Yes, my Lord.¡± Although the sheriff was not a smart man, he had no problem carrying out these orders. From the tribe, Lin Tian recruited some men in their forties. These men could not be placed in the army because of their age, but they could be used to carry stones and sand. It suddenly occurred to him that he could buy some wheelbarrows from Moujing. There were several types of wheelbarrows. One was the gasoline type, which was very energy-saving. However, Lin Tian would not choose this option because there was no way he could buy gasoline from Moujing. Moreover, there was no need to use the gasoline type here.. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian made a list of the things he needed to buy tomorrow, such as shovels, steel rods, and so on. In the afternoon, the swords, shields, bows, and arrows that Lin Tian had bought had all arrived. He planned to distribute them the next day. In the evening, Lin Tian returned to the castle. Mary was still unconscious, but her body temperature had dropped significantly. Lin Tian fed her medicine again. Jenny brought hot water for Lin Tian and helped him wash up. Then, she went back to take care of Mary. The next morning, Lin Tian took out a bottle of milk. ¡°Boil it with hot water and feed her some. There¡¯s no need to feed her too much. You can stay at home and take care of her today. You don¡¯t have to follow me.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± Jenny¡¯s eyes were shining with gratitude. When Lin Tian was about to reach the town, he opened his livestream room. There were more than 10,000 people waiting in the livestream room! When they saw Lin Tian¡¯s livestream, they all started to greet him. ¡°Whether you believe it or not, I have really transmigrated to another world.¡± Lin Tian said the opening words that had not been said for a long time. [What familiar words!] [The streamer has finally spoken to us!] [This god has an amazing voice!] [Cat-eared lady, where¡¯s my big cat-eared lady?] The comments in the livestream room soared. Lin Tian turned his phone to the auto-recording mode and said, ¡°The weapons and armor I bought have arrived and I¡¯m ready to distribute them. We¡¯ll be arriving in the town soon so I won¡¯t be talking to you guys anymore.¡± [Streamer, say a few more words!] [Streamer, one sentence for one cloud-piercing arrow!] Lin Tian happened to see the comment and smiled. ¡°Then I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re going to go bankrupt.¡± [White Crow gave the streamer one cloud-piercing arrow!] [Comment: I¡¯m a man of my word!] [Living In This World gave the streamer one cloud-piercing arrow!] [White Rabbit gave the streamer 10 cloud-piercing arrows!] However, Lin Tian did not say anything more for the rewards. He simply said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m about to enter the town now.¡± [White Crow sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [Comment: Streamer, say a few more words!] Many people followed suit and sent him many more gifts. ¡°Lord, a group of merchants who claim to be from the western city are here to look for you.¡± At this moment, a servant came to report. Lin Tian stopped watching the livestream and followed him to town. There were more than ten people waiting in the square. Most of them were equipped with knives. ¡°Lord, hello. We are from Dongli City. I am Carl,¡± said a well-dressed man politely. Lin Tian acknowledged him calmly, not saying much. Carl said, ¡°Lord, we are here to buy crystal cups from you.¡± As expected! Lin Tian sighed in his heart. [It¡¯s time for the glass cups to be exchanged for gold coins again!] [I¡¯m placing a bet. Guess how many gold coins the streamer can sell them for today?] [Ten!] [A hundred!] [I¡¯m Auntie Li. The number of gold coins the streamer sells them for will be the number of cloud-piercing arrows I¡¯ll be rewarding him!] [Wow! The big boss is rich!] [Oh my God, notice me, rich lady!] [Auntie Li, it¡¯s rare to see someone as beautiful as you in this world!] [The person above is definitely a flatterer! However, Auntie Li is indeed beautiful!] [Which big boss can explain what it means when someone calls themselves Aunti Li?] [Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick sent 100 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] [Comments: Hmph!] [This ¡°Hmph¡± has character!] [Awesome, awesome, awesome!] [White Rabbit sent 100 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] [Big shots, they¡¯re all big shots!] [Auntie Li, hold on!] The livestream was bustling with activity. The number of people online soon exceeded 100,000! ¡°What is your source of information?¡± Lin Tian asked Carl. Carl said, ¡°Lord, we got the information from a few slave traders.¡± ¡°How many do you intend to buy? What will the pricing be like?¡± Carl felt delighted after knowing that he had a chance. He said, ¡°We brought a total of 100 gold coins, some of which are silver and copper coins. Please understand that we don¡¯t have that many gold coins. As for the price, I hope the Lord can sell it to us at the same price.¡± ¡®Hmm, 100 gold coins,¡¯ thought Lin Tian. In the current world, a copper coin was almost the same as one yuan in his previous world, while a gold coin was about 10,000 yuan. This merchant was rather wealthy. Bringing 100 gold coins to him was equivalent to bringing over a million in cash. No wonder he brought so many guards. Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯ve only bought five crystal cups recently, but there are other things you can look at.¡± Carl immediately said enthusiastically, ¡°Please take them out, Lord.¡± Lin Tian took out some inexpensive items, such as porcelain bowls, mirrors, white paper, combs, and so on. One of each. He took out a variety of items because he wanted Carl to spread the word and let others know that he owned many good items. Carl¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the items taken out by Lin Tian. ¡°These are all precious items!¡± He picked up the porcelain bowl and touched it as if he had seen a treasure. ¡°This is an artifact, right, Lord? What is the name of this bowl?¡± [I¡¯m laughing, an artifact¡­] [Come and find me. I have all kinds of porcelain bowls!] [Why do all the extras in the livestream have such excellent acting skills?] Lin Tian said, ¡°This is porcelain.¡± ¡°Porcelain! What a beautiful name!¡± Carl sighed. Then, he looked at Lin Tian and said, ¡°Lord, how about 2 silver coins for each piece of porcelain?¡± 2 silver coins meant 200 copper coins. In other words, Lin Tian had sold this three-dollar bowl for 60 times the price! Although it was not as expensive as a glass cup, it was still very impressive. Lin Tian nodded in agreement. Next was the mirror. The mirror was sold for 20 gold coins. In the end, all the money brought by Carl was handed over to Lin Tian. Among them, there were only 50 gold coins. The rest were silver coins and copper coins. Carl left with the goods in satisfaction. As a merchant with 100 gold coins, he was considered a very wealthy person in Dongli City. Dongli City was not close to this place, and there were many bandits in this area. Hence, smaller merchants rarely came here. For example, the slave merchants who came from the Beastmen Kingdom were worried that the cat-eared lady would be taken away by bandits. Hence, they would rather sell the cat-eared lady to Lin Tian at a cheaper price. As for Carl, after hearing the news from the slave merchants, he had sensed a business opportunity and decided to bring all his assets to take a gamble. Now, his wish had come true. ¡°Lord, our cooperation is very pleasant. If the journey is successful, I might come again in half a month.¡± Carl did not ask who the mysterious trader was. Because he knew that even if he did, Lin Tian would not tell him. With such a unique channel, no one would be willing to tell anyone else. After Carl left, the livestream became lively again. Many people were waiting for the cloud-piercing arrow. [Ge Cheng Aunty Li sent 100 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Aunty Li is indeed worthy of being Aunty Li!] [Auntie Li, my Wechat number is *%! I¡¯m the duck king of Dongcheng, my license number is¡­] [Ew! The comment above, get lost!] [Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick sent 100 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] [White Rabbit sent 100 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] [Shiba Go Go Go sent 10 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] The livestream was filled with reward messages. Of course, other than a few big shots, most of the others would occasionally give a cloud-piercing arrow, and most of them were small gifts. After this wave of excitement, the number of people online in the livestream broke through the 200,000 mark! In the small town, Lin Tian collected all the gold coins. He was prepared to use these gold coins as his starting capital. Next, he had one more thing to do. ¡°Stand up straight! Stand up straight!¡± In the town square, more than 50 people stood there in high spirits. They were the first batch of the tribal army. This batch of people had lived in the tribe for generations. They were all reliable people who understood each other¡¯s situation. However, the tribal army was still lacking in terms of numbers. Putting aside the people from the small town, there were only around 2,000 people in Lin Tian¡¯s current territory in addition to the people from the other places. With over 2,000 people, he reckoned he could gather another 50 or so people. He could afford to pay 300 copper coins per person per month. [These brothers run dozens of kilometers every day. Are they really okay?] [Forget it. They¡¯re probably fake-running.] [I don¡¯t think so. Can¡¯t you see that their faces have turned much tanner?] Many people in the livestream felt happy as they looked at these dozens of people. Lin Tian walked in front of them and ordered a few people. ¡°Bring all the things here.¡± He had already put all the knives and shields in the rented house. This was one of the reasons why Lin Tian rented the house. Although he had Storage Space, he could not use it in front of everyone. The few of them took out all the swords and shields. For now, Lin Tian would not be distributing the bows and arrows. Because archery required training and arm strength, and accuracy required talent. Although crossbows were relatively simple, they also required talent. Lin Tian intended to observe for a while longer. [Oh my God, so many knives.] [Streamer 666!] [Be careful, don¡¯t get caught!] Lin Tian distributed all the knives and shields. All the 50 or so people were excitedly holding their weapons. The knives in their hands felt exceptionally sharp to them. The shields were made of stainless steel, and they looked very beautiful. These people had never seen stainless steel before, and their eyes were gleaming. ¡°You are the warriors of the tribe, so I will provide you with the best weapons,¡± Lin Tian said in a clear voice. ¡°From today onwards, you will run in the morning and practice your combat techniques in the afternoon. You will not need to practice movements that are too complicated, and you will only need to slash repeatedly. After you learn how to use a knife, you will then practice how to use a shield.¡± As he spoke, he picked up a knife and slashed forward with a sharp gaze. A simple movement, when placed in his hand, was filled with strength. As Lin Tian was good-looking and had firm facial lines, this movement accentuated his masculinity. The viewers in the livestream became infatuated with him. [Cool! Streamer, do it again!] [Streamer, do you get dizzy from looking at your handsome self in the mirror every day?] [Walking hormones!] In the town square, more than 50 people picked up their knives at the same time. After shouting, they began to make slashing motions. Their current goal was to learn how to slash. After learning this, they would practice other things. Lin Tian stood at the side and watched. With the beginner fighting technique, he had a lot of knowledge regarding strength and fighting skills. It was not a problem for him to teach these people. The viewers in the livestream watched and chatted. No one found it boring. Slowly, more than an hour passed. The viewers in the livestream saw Lin Tian looking up at the camera. [I have a bad feeling about this.] [I have a bad feeling about this too.] [Streamer, don¡¯t!] However, the livestream still mercilessly turned black. [Too cold!] [The 300,000 online viewers still could not stop the streamer from ending the livestream!] [Sob sob sob sob, streamer!] In the castle, Jenny said, ¡°Master, sister¡¯s fever has subsided.¡± Lin Tian checked Mary¡¯s wound to ensure that it did not continue to fester. He used iodophor to clean the area and wrapped her up again. It was necessary to sterilize the wound every day and this was personally done by Lin Tian. After all, Jenny did not have the relevant knowledge and experience. After Lin Tian fed Mary the medicine, he left the castle again and headed to the place where he was planning to build the castle. When he arrived there, he found that the workers were progressing rather quickly. Since he had recruited many people, the efficiency had also increased. In one day, they had dug out a foundation that was more than a hundred meters deep. Of course, they still needed to continue expanding. The terrain here was flat and the geology was excellent. There was no need to dig too deep. Two to three meters was enough. The content of tomorrow¡¯s livestream could be about building the city. Lin Tian called Diana over. ¡°Collect the farm tools every day. After counting them, send someone to deliver them to the castle.¡± Diana nodded. ¡°I will do it well, Lord.¡± The farm tools that Lin Tian provided were considered very excellent farm tools in this world. It was still expensive even if it was made of iron. Although he had a lot of money in Moujing, Lin Tian did not want to lose farm tools from time to time. He thought for a moment and decided to send a team of 10 people every day. These people could work and supervise to prevent any accidents. Although Diana was a responsible person, she was still young. If there was a large group of people, she might not be able to handle the situation. After Lin Tian checked the progress, he returned to the castle. Although Mary¡¯s fever had subsided, she was still in a coma. The next day, Lin Tian left Jenny at home so that she could continue taking care of Mary. He went to the construction site and began to stream the construction of the city. The scene of over a hundred people working was quite spectacular. [Streamer, what are you doing?] The viewers asked one after another. Because the cement had not arrived yet, and they were only digging the foundation, no one could see through Lin Tian¡¯s plan. Lin Tian replied, ¡°Building a city.¡± [Amazing!] [Streamer, if you want to build a city, I suggest building a Chinese-style city. However, because you¡¯re in another world, you can¡¯t completely follow the Chinese style. You can add some eastern elements.] [I¡¯m good at construction, streamer. If you need help, you can come look for me!] At this time, the sheriff led a group of people from the southeast. These people were all from another town, which belonged to another noble. Compared to Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, there were many people in that tribe. Due to Barr being too down and out in the past, many people left. His territory was hundreds of square kilometers. Even if the reproduction rate was low, it should not have left the territory with only 2,000 people. ¡°Lord, these are the workers we recruited from the neighboring town. They have all volunteered to work here..¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian replied calmly, ¡°Give them the farm tools and have them start working today. Their salary will be calculated from today.¡± ¡°Yes, Lord.¡± Although it was a monthly salary, it was actually calculated on a daily basis. As they did not have much money on hand, it was difficult for them to feed themselves. In the past, Lin Tian used to pay them with biscuits, but now, he could use copper coins. After he began building the city, Lin Tian had adjusted their treatments. On top of their wages, everyone¡¯s meals were provided, and would be given three biscuits and a small piece of meat a day. This was already a perfect treatment. As a result, every worker was filled with energy. A day passed, but Mary still did not wake up. The next day, the vegetable seeds bought by Lin Tian arrived. He gathered a group of women and asked them to plant vegetables. Most of the vegetable seeds were cabbage because it was easier for cabbage to survive. The rest were corn, eggplant, and other vegetables of different seasons. In the tribe, half of the arable land had been given to the residents. However, it was only under a contract, and the residents had to pay taxes every season. Lin Tian planned to slowly take back the land and turn all the residents into employees. However, this operation required time. He wanted to let the residents earn money and gradually improve their lives before he would start taking back the land. This could reduce the resistance from the residents. On this day, Lin Tian streamed the planting of vegetables, digging the foundation, and training soldiers. The number of people in the livestream rose steadily. The viewers were still very interested in the infrastructure content. There were also many people who gave gifts. However, every day, there would be someone asking for the cat-eared lady. On this day, when Lin Tian was still at the construction site, Mary finally woke up! She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar room in front of her. She was a little puzzled. Where was she now? She had been unconscious for three days. During this time, she had minimal consciousness. She could only feel that someone had been cleaning her wound and feeding her bitter medicine every day. Now, most of her strength had recovered, and she was in good spirits. Mary sat up from the bed and looked around. The room was clean, warm and bright, and the quilt was fluffy and soft. Ah, she saw Jenny¡¯s clothes. She figured that she should be in Jenny¡¯s room. That human treated Jenny pretty well. Mary looked down at her wound, which was tied with white gauze. She carefully removed the gauze and found that the wound had already closed! An ordinary doctor could not have cured such a wound! Although Mary did not know that the wound was infected, she knew that her injury was serious. Her original plan was to look for a priest from the tribe to treat her wound after she had returned to the Beastmen Kingdom with her sister. Who would have thought that she would fall into a coma the moment she saw Jenny. At that time, she thought she was going to die. Unexpectedly, she was well and lived to see another day. She could not help but think of that human noble. Was he the one who saved her? At this moment, the door opened. Jenny came in with a basin of hot water. She was joyed to see Mary awake. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re finally awake!¡± Mary was also very excited. ¡°Jenny!¡± However, her excitement caused her wound to hurt. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t be too excited. Lie down first.¡± Jenny placed two soft pillows behind her. The pillows were naturally bought by Lin Tian from Moujing. Mary leaned against the pillows and felt like she was lying on clouds. ¡®Humans really know how to enjoy themselves,¡¯ she thought. Jenny asked, ¡°Sister, why are you here?¡± Mary said, ¡°I heard the news of our tribe being attacked by goblins and you being captured by them. So, I came back quickly. Later, I followed the mark you left in the forest to catch up with you. Jenny, fortunately, we have a unique mark between us, otherwise, I would¡¯ve lost you!¡± Actually, Mary and Jenny were twins, and they were very close. The Beastmen Kingdom had always been chaotic. Afraid of being separated, when they were young, they decided on a code that only the two of them knew. After Jenny was captured, she used some leaves to leave a special code on the ground as she passed through the forest. Moreover, wherever she passed, there would be a special fragrance. Mary had a sensitive nose. Even after more than ten days, with the smell faded, she could still track her. Mary¡¯s tracking ability was even better than the best hunter! Jenny asked worriedly, ¡°Why were you injured?¡± Mary replied, ¡°To ask about your whereabouts, I found the gnome¡¯s camp and killed a few gnomes. The injury was a result of my fight with an earth gnome.¡± Jenny was so touched that tears pooled in her eyes. Mary said it casually, but it was a very dangerous thing to break into the gnome¡¯s camp alone. The two of them chatted for a while more. Mary said, ¡°Jenny, come back with me.¡± ¡°Sister, I¡¯m not leaving.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Mary looked at her in surprise. She was not expecting Jenny to refuse after she came so far to rescue her. Did she really like that human? Jenny explained, ¡°Sister, master saved me, and I want to repay him. Besides, the people in the tribe have escaped, and I have no way to go back.¡± Mary said, ¡°We can look for them together.¡± Jenny shook her head. ¡°Sister, I have a good life here. Master is a kind person, and he has many magical means. He gave me delicious food that I have never eaten before, and he even pays me! Sister, you should stay too, don¡¯t go back!¡± ¡°You call him master¡­¡± Only then did Mary realize how Jenny addressed him. Having realized Jenny¡¯s determination to stay, Mary sighed. The Beastmen Kingdom was poor and chaotic. If Lin Tian was really good to Jenny, then perhaps it was more appropriate for her to stay here than to go back. Moreover, she understood Jenny. She may look like a weak girl, but no one could easily change her decisions. In other words, even if she wanted to kidnap Jenny and take her away, Jenny would not leave. Jenny persuaded, ¡°Sister, your injury was treated by master! All these years, your missions have been so dangerous. You have been walking on the edge of life and death. However, they treat you like a fighting machine. The beastmen can¡¯t interfere here, so you should stay. Master will be good to you!¡± Mary laid on the bed, her mind a mess. She thought of the past, her life was only training and killing. In fact, she was tired of it. However¡­ did she really have to stay here? There was nothing left for her in the Beastmen Kingdom. Because the only thing she cared about was Jenny, and Jenny was here. However, this place was filled with humans. Yet, Jenny¡¯s master seemed to be a good person. In the Beastmen Kingdom, the cat race only occupied a small population. To Jenny, the other races were no different from humans. Moreover, the Beastmen Kingdom was packed with chaos and poverty. For the sake of food and resources, the different races often fought each other.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mary thought that perhaps staying was the right thing to do. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Jenny smiled. ¡°Master is back!¡± Soon, Lin Tian appeared outside the door. ¡°She¡¯s awake?¡± Jenny nodded. ¡°Yes, master. Sister is awake.¡± Mary secretly sized up Lin Tian from the side. Lin Tian had a tall and upright posture, a handsome face, and dark eyes. He often held an indifferent expression when he spoke. Suddenly, their gazes met. For some reason, Mary felt as if there was an electric current flowing through her body. She quickly averted her gaze. Lin Tian walked toward her. ¡°How do you feel now? Does your head still hurt?¡± Hearing his concerned voice, Mary¡¯s heart felt warm. She wanted to sit up but was stopped by Lin Tian. ¡°Lie down.¡± His commanding tone made Mary, who had always been strong and independent, lie down obediently. ¡°Thank you for saving me!¡± Lin Tian said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome. You¡¯ll need at least a few more days to recover. During this time, you can stay in the castle to rest. Did you come here to take Jenny away?¡± ¡°Master, I¡¯m not leaving!¡±Jenny immediately expressed her stance. Mary looked at Jenny. ¡°I respect Jenny¡¯s opinion. Moreover, you saved me. After my injuries recover, I¡¯ll stay by your side for one year to protect you.¡± After Lin Tian appeared, she suddenly made a decision. She had to repay him for saving her life. Moreover, after chatting with Lin Tian for a while, she felt that Lin Tian was different from other humans. As for what to do in a year¡¯s time, Mary had yet to decide. Jenny hurriedly said, ¡°Master, my sister is super powerful! She can take on ten people by herself!¡± Take on ten people by herself? Lin Tian subconsciously looked at Mary. It was indeed a good outcome for Mary to stay. After all, if she really wanted to take Jenny away, things would become complicated. He thought for a short while, then stretched out his hand and said, ¡°Deal.¡± Seeing Lin Tian¡¯s action, Mary, who had never shaken hands with anyone before, automatically stretched out her hand to shake Lin Tian¡¯s hand. After withdrawing her hand, her face was faintly red. Thus, in Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, there was another cat-eared lady. Jenny and Mary looked similar. Jenny¡¯s eyes were light blue, like a clear sky. Mary¡¯s eyes were light purple, like a magnificent cloud of smoke. Their bodies were almost the same. When they stood together, it was a very beautiful scenery. Lin Tian planned to order some clothes for Mary from Moujing tomorrow. Mary¡¯s body was not fully recovered yet, so Lin Tian continued letting Jenny take care of her. The next day, Lin Tian could finally withdraw the funds from Dowyin. The popularity of the livestream continued to rise, and the amount of gifts he received over the past few days increased correspondingly. When he went to withdraw the funds, he found that he could withdraw two million at once! After withdrawing the funds, Lin Tian began to go on a shopping spree on Moujing. Firstly, cement. As of now, the tribe had no industrial foundation. Once the construction for the city was over, the tribe would slowly become prosperous, and the population would increase. When that time came, he would purchase machines to make cement in this world. Although the price of cement was not high, it was heavy and required a large quantity. The shipping cost far exceeded the price of the cement itself. It was not worth it. Lin Tian did not buy high-grade cement. He only bought the common cement used to repair houses and roads. He bought ten tons of cement in one go and spent about 20,000 yuan. The shipping cost was more than three times the price of the cement itself. Actually, ten tons of cement was barely enough. However, Lin Tian was not prepared to buy all the cement he needed at once, because the heavier the weight, the more expensive the shipping cost. He was planning to buy a portion every day. Then, he bought a large number of tools and food. To his regret, he could not buy living things. Otherwise, he would buy some piglets. In fact, there were piglets on Moujing, but the pigs in this world were mainly black pigs. The cement he bought today took up a lot of weight, and the shipping fees for other items also became much more expensive. He decided to only buy these things today. Then, he walked to the construction site and started the livestream. [Ah! The streamer has finally appeared!] [I¡¯ve been looking at the stars and the moon while I wait, I¡¯ve been waiting for so long that the flowers have started to wither!] [Wow, there are more people! There are already hundreds of people now, right?] [Awesome! Awesome!] All the workers were working hard, while Diana directed them around. Lin Tian was thinking about how this girl¡¯s ability had exceeded his expectations. Nothing new happened in the next two days. His daily livestream content was very simple, which mainly consisted of his daily work. However, the viewers could not help but like it. There were many people guarding the livestream room every day, and the number of people in the livestream was gradually increasing. The number of people who set up livestream reminders gradually increased. Now, within a few minutes of Lin Tian¡¯s livestream, the number of people would exceed 100,000. Moreover, the number of newcomers continued to increase. When new people came to the livestream, they would find the content of the livestream interesting and thus would stay and watch. They would also watch the previous livestream replays, and their impression of Lin Tian would become better. They would even recommend the livestream to their friends and other people. In short, Lin Tian¡¯s livestream was getting more and more popular, and the engagement was extremely high. To paraphrase what the viewers had said, it was very addictive. Once you started watching it, there was no stopping. One look at it and you would be watching for the entire day. Many people in the livestream were still wondering why the cat-ear lady had disappeared. Since Jenny had been taking care of her sister for the past few days, she did not appear in the livestream. Mary recovered very quickly. When the cement arrived, Mary was already able to walk. She became energetic and her wounds had scabbed. These few days, Mary felt like she was dreaming. Because the food that Lin Tian provided for her was too delicious. There was no need to mention the biscuits, she had never eaten such delicious biscuits! The milk was also very wonderful, and there were many nutrients in it, which was very helpful to her body¡¯s recovery. Most importantly, the chicken drumsticks! Lin Tian bought packaged chicken drumsticks that were ready for consumption upon opening. This kind of chicken drumstick was enough to make Mary exclaim how delicious it was. Apart from these, there was also an item called eight treasures porridge. It was also very delicious. In just a few days, she had tasted many delicacies that she had never eaten before. Moreover, she was sure that even the king of the Beastmen Kingdom had never eaten such delicious food! The food greatly increased Mary¡¯s happiness. She felt that if she could eat such delicious food every day, it would be great to stay by Lin Tian¡¯s side as a guard! In the world before Lin Tian transmigrated, people like Mary could be said to be a foodie. At this moment, Lin Tian was selecting craftsmen and teaching them how to use cement. Among these craftsmen, five were from Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, while the rest were from the neighboring towns. Lin Tian was not worried about them learning the techniques, because there was no cement in this world. ¡°You have to pay attention to the ratio of cement to sand. One portion of cement with double the amount of sand, and the sand can only be river sand. It can neither be too fine nor too coarse.¡± Lin Tian explained the things that they had to pay attention to.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Streamer 666!] [Streamer, if you want to build a city wall, it would be better if you used more sand.] [Streamer, aren¡¯t you in another world? Why do you have cement?] Suddenly, a person ran over in a panic. ¡°Lord, it¡¯s bad! Bandits are coming! Dozens of people are surrounding your castle!¡± Bandits were coming? The viewers in the livestream were instantly energized. ¡°Men who have the ability to fight, pick up your weapons and come with me. Go and inform the army that is running by the Casa River.¡± Lin Tian instructed a weird-looking little boy. After saying that, he ran to the castle first. There were two cat-eared ladies in the castle. Although he had arranged a five-man team to patrol the castle, the number of bandits was several times more than them. [Wow, the bandits have finally appeared!] [Will there be an exciting scene soon?] [Streamer, make it bloody this time so that it¡¯s interesting!] [White Rabbit sent a Ferrari to the streamer!] [Comment: Hubby, you can do it!] [ Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick sent a Ferrari to the streamer!] [Comment: Hubby, you¡¯re the best!] Comments flooded the livestream. However, the viewers still thought that these were all scripted. More than 1,000 meters away from Lin Tian¡¯s castle, dozens of people were approaching it at a flying speed. These people were naturally bandits, and many of them were riding horses. Generally speaking, the more horses a group of bandits had, the stronger they were. If everyone had horses, then they were authentic horse bandits. They had a large number of people, and upon owning a horse, they were very fast and would thus become a massive headache. Fortunately, only a few of these bandits had horses, and they were soon discovered after entering Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. Lin Tian had arranged a few people around the tribe in the past few days, and it turned out to be effective. ¡°Jerry, are you sure you¡¯re not mistaken? Barr is so down and out, how could the person who bought his territory be rich?¡± asked a rude-looking man who was among the bandits. ¡°Boss Ron, I¡¯m certain, this is the place! I saw with my own eyes that this lord has a beautiful cat-eared lady and a large number of delicious biscuits. He even pays a high salary to hire others to work. He¡¯s definitely rich!¡± said a skinny man hurriedly. If the people in the town could see this scene, they would realize that this skinny man was none other than the gangster leader who had been hung up a while ago. Those gangsters had been hung up for three days and were only released when they were on the verge of death. However, not only did they not show any fear, they even took the initiative to provoke the bandits to come here. ¡°Cat-eared lady? That is a top-grade item! One can be sold for dozens of gold coins!¡± The eyes of the bandit leader, Ron, instantly lit up. ¡°Yes, boss! But before you sell them, let your brothers have a good time. Cat-eared girls are rare,¡± another bandit said. The other bandits also started fantasizing happily. Jerry reminded him, ¡°Boss Ron, I saw the lord training an army a few days ago!¡± Ron was not afraid at all. ¡°An army? Hahaha, they are just farmers who have never been stained with blood. Killing a few people would make them wet their pants in fear. Some time ago, we went to rob Baron Harry. There were more than 200 soldiers, but we beat them to a pulp!¡± When Jerry heard Ron¡¯s words, he immediately thought that gangsters had no future. How could they be as happy as bandits? They could take whatever they wanted. ¡°Boss Ron, I want to join you!¡± The other gangsters also hurriedly said, ¡°Me too, me too!¡± Ron glanced at them and shook his head. ¡°You guys are too skinny. Originally, you wouldn¡¯t be able to meet our requirements, but seeing that you guys have contributed so much this time, I¡¯ll reluctantly let you join us.¡± ¡°Thank you, Boss Ron!¡± The few gangsters all felt as if they had found a bright path and that their lives would unmistakably get better. ¡°Hurry up, follow us!¡± In Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, a large number of people with hoes ran toward Lin Tian¡¯s castle. Most of them were from Lin Tian¡¯s territory, while a small number were from the neighboring town. The reason they all came was because Lin Tian had promised that as long as they fought actively, they would be rewarded. Killing a bandit would earn them 20 silver coins. In other words, it would be 2,000 copper coins, which was equivalent to a year¡¯s worth of salary! Moreover, they had so many people, and they had won by sheer numbers! What they did not know was that if they really fought, it would probably be similar to what the bandit leader had said. After all, once someone was killed, the others would be scared out of their wits. In front of these people was the ten-man team that was originally in charge of maintaining order at the construction site. Their daily training was not in vain. With just a few days of training, their speed had far surpassed the workers behind them. However, the one who was faster than them was Lin Tian. Lin Tian sprinted to the castle, leading them by a few hundred meters. [The streamer¡¯s speed is impressive!] [Has anyone calculated the streamer¡¯s speed? He¡¯s too fast!] [The streamer, a man who is like the wind!] [Ge Cheng Aunty Li sent out 10 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] [Comment: I¡¯m late. What happened?] [Aunty Li is here!] [Does the rich always use cloud-piercing arrows to ask questions?] [I¡¯m on my knees. A big shot is a big shot!] [Nothign much. It¡¯s just that dozens of bandits are attacking the streamer¡¯s castle.] [Ge Cheng Aunty Li sent out a Ferrari to the streamer!] [Comment: Handsome, charge forward!] Aunty Li¡¯s reward led the livestream to another wave of excitement. Under Lin Tian¡¯s rapid running, he was only a few hundred meters away from the castle! At this moment, he saw bandits rushing toward the castle from another direction. These bandits were about the same distance away from the castle as Lin Tian. However, a few of the bandits on horses were already approaching the castle. Lin Tian increased his speed again. It would take some time for the tribal army to arrive. He had to rush into the castle before the bandits. He could not let the bandits in! He had to defend the castle and wait for reinforcements! The bandits naturally saw Lin Tian. ¡°Boss Ron, look, that¡¯s the lord in charge! He¡¯s so fast!¡± Jerry pointed at Lin Tian and shouted. ¡°Faster than a horse. Henry, go kill him!¡± shouted the leader of the bandits at a man who was riding a horse. Henry rode his horse and rushed toward Lin Tian. [Streamer, there are bandits coming for you!] [Streamer, be careful!] The atmosphere in the livestream suddenly became tense. Henry was very fast, and in less than a minute, they met. Henry whipped his horse and aggressively rushed toward Lin Tian. He was getting closer and closer! The people in the livestream were staring at the screen and the comments had decreased. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the bandit and Lin Tian had shrunk to 20 meters! The bandit grabbed a spear made of wood from the side and threw it at Lin Tian.. The spear pierced through the air and went straight at Lin Tian! Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian tilted his body slightly and dodged the spear accurately. Then, a small crossbow suddenly appeared in his hand and he aimed it at the bandit¡¯s throat. He pulled the trigger. In the next second, the crossbow arrow pierced the bandit¡¯s throat and made him fall off the horse. Lin Tian bent his body again and dodged the charging horse. The automatic recording system very intelligently shot a shot of the dead bandit. He fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and he had stopped breathing entirely! Lin Tian left him behind, and the camera changed scenes. [My God! Is it good to make it so bloody?] [It¡¯s too real! Is that person really dead or is he faking it? I¡¯m confused.] [Can the livestream be edited? Is there a big shot who can give me an answer?] [It can¡¯t be edited! Only one phone is used for the livestream. No one knows who¡¯s recording with the phone but it¡¯s obvious that there is only one camera! However, it is impossible for someone to die. It is even more impossible to transmigrate, and even more so to livestream after the transmigration.] Lin Tian¡¯s counter-attack successfully set off the livestream. It was raining gifts. Lin Tian had no time to look at his phone. After killing the bandit, he rushed straight to the castle. ¡°He has a crossbow!¡± The other three bandits on their horses saw how easily Lin Tian dealt with Henry and were terrified. Hence, they were overtaken by Lin Tian. ¡°The lord is here. Open the door!¡± The five-man team that was patrolling around the castle noticed the bandits and entered the castle to defend. When they saw Lin Tian, they quickly opened the door and let him in. ¡°Close the door!¡± When Lin Tian entered, the five-man team hurriedly closed the wooden door of the castle. Normally, they would not enter the castle, but when they realized that the bandits were targeting the castle, they changed their strategy in time and retreated into the castle for defense. If it was Lord Barr, they would have run away when they saw the bandits. However, Lin Tian was now their leader. Lin Tian had built an army of more than 60 people, and each of them had excellent weapons. Most importantly, Lin Tian was a respected mage! They all believed that Lin Tian could defeat these bandits! Therefore, the bandits that they were afraid of turned into a rare opportunity for them to contribute! They all wanted to be valued by Lin Tian. After all, the treatment of the five team leaders was much better than theirs! The wooden door slammed shut. ¡°Master, are you okay?¡± asked cat-eared Jenny worriedly as she ran out. Although the castle was not big, there were no problems with the layout. After entering through the main door, there was a small square. Further inside was the room of the castle. ¡°I¡¯m okay. It¡¯s dangerous here. You go in first.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s breathing was uneven. [Yay, I¡¯m finally seeing the cat-eared lady!] [Oh my God? Is there something wrong with my eyes? Is this the cat-eared lady?] [She¡¯s so cute! My nose is bleeding!] Jenny was very obedient. She knew that her combat ability was weak and that staying here would only make her a burden. Lin Tian calmed his breathing. He was very glad that he had gotten beginner archery and double his physical fitness from the lottery draw yesterday. That was right, he had gotten another lottery draw yesterday. Compared to his previous 1.5 times physical fitness, his doubled physical fitness led to a huge change. Otherwise, he would not have been able to return so quickly. ¡°Stay here. Reinforcements will be here soon.¡± ¡°Yes, my Lord!¡± replied the five-man team in unison. They had long been prepared. Each of them held a sword and shield in their hands and stood guard in front of the gate. ¡°All 30 of you, take your bows and arrows to stop the villagers. The rest of you, attack the castle with me! Take care of the lord first! Those who dare to kill my people, even if he is noble, must not be let off lightly!¡± The leader of the bandits, Ron¡¯s voice was heard. Then, the gate was knocked down. The gate of the castle was not big. It was only two to three meters high and about a meter wide. After all, the castle itself was not big. A gate like this was more suitable for defense. On the other hand, the outer wall was very thick, almost a meter in diameter, which formed a hole for the gate. ¡°Again!¡± Outside the castle, a few bandits were holding a log that was a few meters long and banging it against the door. Bang! There was another loud sound. The wooden door trembled from the impact, and the door buckles were on the verge of collapsing. ¡°Again!¡± The bandits retreated and rammed the door again. With a bang, the wooden door shattered! [This door is too weak!] [What quality do you expect from an ordinary wooden door? Even an iron door might not be able to block it!] The people in the livestream discussed animatedly. ¡°The door is open. All of you, charge! Whoever kills the lord will be rewarded with an additional gold coin!¡± Ron laughed arrogantly. The bandits charged forward with wooden shields. Whoosh! The crossbow arrow pierced through the air and headed straight for the first bandit to rush over. The bandit¡¯s reaction was not slow. He immediately placed the wooden shield in front of him to block it. Unfortunately, the crossbow¡¯s arrow instantly pierced through the wooden shield and hit his shoulder! The bandit cried out in pain. ¡°Kill them, kill each person for five silver coins!¡± After saying that, Lin Tian took out a crossbow from Storage Space and shot another arrow. The other bandit who followed behind was also pierced by the arrow and was injured. There was already a line of bandits behind and they were rushing in one by one. Lin Tian took out another crossbow from Storage Space and shot another arrow. The speed of the crossbow was slower than that of the bow, but there were five crossbows loaded with arrows in Lin Tian¡¯s Storage Space. Time did not flow in Storage Space, so these crossbows would not be strained even after a long time. That was why Lin Tian could take them out and shoot them, then throw them back into his storage. At this time, the camera on his phone was in front of him, but it did not capture Lin Tian holding the crossbow. Seeing Lin Tian¡¯s actions, the viewers in the livestream were nervous and focused. There were no comments at all. Just as the second bandit was hit, two more bandits rushed up from behind. Lin Tian drew his bow from both sides and took out two crossbows, shooting them at the two bandits. Just as the fifth bandit rushed over, he heard the sound of the bowstring vibrating. In the next second, he was hit in the stomach. The bow that Lin Tian bought was a training bow. It was less powerful than a crossbow, so he did not shoot at the opponent¡¯s shield. He was worried that the arrow would not be able to penetrate it. The bonus from beginner archery was very useful. At close range, every arrow shot by Lin Tian was on target. In a very short period of time, Lin Tian shot down the five bandits in front of him. The patrol team finally gathered their courage and began to charge at the injured bandits. Lin Tian quickly took out his bow again and shot out an arrow. The sixth bandit was hit! The bandits behind him still did not know what was going on inside. They were still rushing in. Lin Tian shot another arrow, and the seventh bandit was knocked down! ¡°Stop rushing, stop rushing!¡± ¡°His arrow is very powerful!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The injured bandits started to shout, but the bandits behind them did not hear them. Furthermore, the bandits at the front could not stop as they were pushed forward by the bandits from behind. Just like that, Lin Tian shot down one bandit after another. The bandits who fell to the ground would then be killed by the patrol team. The five members of the patrol team realized that the situation was not that tough. Together with the silver coins that Lin Tian had promised, the patrol team gradually became bolder. The bandits continued to charge forward, and Lin Tian shot a few more people with his bow. Every time Lin Tian took out his bow and arrow, the automatic recording system would put Lin Tian in frame. Thus, the people in the livestream saw Lin Tian shoot one arrow after another, hitting every target. [So cool! Streamer 666!] [The elven prince streamer is alive, and I¡¯m in love again!] Comments flooded the livestream one after another. Other than being infatuated, there were also some people who had doubts. [Is this battle a special effect? It looks too real!] [Look at those people who were shot and the blood on the ground!] [Yeah, I¡¯m starting to think that it¡¯s real. Do you think the streamer has really transmigrated?] The battle looked very real and shocking. It did not seem to have resulted from special effects at all. In addition, Lin Tian was livestreaming. There was only one camera, and even the sound was synchronized. Therefore, as the viewers watched the battle, many were confused and wondered if Lin Tian had really transmigrated. After more than ten bandits at the front had died, the bandits behind finally realized that something was wrong. ¡°Stop! Don¡¯t rush!¡± The bandits at the back quickly retreated. The bandit leader Ron cursed, ¡°Do you want to die? Why are you all retreating?¡± One of the bandits shouted, ¡°His arrows are too powerful, we can¡¯t rush through!¡± Ron said angrily, ¡°Useless! Bring me the big shield!¡± Immediately, two bandits took a wooden shield from a horse. Ron handed the shield to two strong bandits. ¡°Follow me!¡± Obviously, he was going to attack personally! At this time, the tribal army arrived. They rushed forward with more than a hundred workers with hoes. ¡°Shoot them to death!¡± Among the 30 people that Ron sent out, five of them also had bows and arrows in their hands. These five people were also very brave. They rushed to the front and shot at the people with hoes. Soon, a few people were hit by the arrows. They laid on the ground as they wailed. The others were immediately scared and did not dare to go forward. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, they only have five bows!¡± shouted someone. However, the workers still did not dare to go forward. ¡°Shield up, stand in a line, and charge!¡± Among the army formed by Lin Tian, the 50 or so people had already rushed forward with their shields. By the time they reached the front, Ron had already charged into the castle. Ron¡¯s so-called big shield was made of wood. In fact, it was made of thick wooden planks to form a long wooden shield. It was about the same height as a human, but the plank was about five centimeters thick. Ordinary bows and arrows would not be able to penetrate such a plank. However, on the other hand, this kind of shield was also very heavy. It had to be carried by two people. Ron followed behind the two people, and they quickly passed through the door. Just as they passed through the door, an arrow shot out and nailed straight onto the wooden plank. However, it did not pierce through. Ron roared, ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡± [Streamer, hang in there!] [Good luck!] The viewers in the livestream cheered for Lin Tian, especially those who felt that Lin Tian had really transmigrated after watching the previous battle. Lin Tian shot another arrow, but it was blocked by the wooden shield. The five members of the patrol team had not finished off the injured bandits in front of them, so they could not help Lin Tian. These bandits were indeed extraordinary. Even though the bandits in front of them were injured, the five members of the patrol team could not easily finish them off due to the lack of combat experience. At this moment, more bandits swarmed in as they followed behind the large wooden plank. Some were fully squatted while some were half squatted, which overlapped the shields in their hands. In the blink of an eye, several bandits were using this method to rush in, and the numbers were increasing. It was obvious that they were planning to use the number advantage tactic. When they rushed in together, no matter how accurate Lin Tian¡¯s arrows were, it was useless. These people were very experienced in combat and had done many similar things before. Lin Tian knew that shooting at a large wooden board was useless, so he shot at a small shield. The wooden board shattered, and his arrow pierced through the small shield. However, a bow and arrow were different from a crossbow. After the arrow pierced through, the force was practically gone. It only left a hole in the shoulder of the bandit behind him, but it did not affect his combat ability at all. More and more bandits rushed in. There were already about ten bandits in the small square! [Oh no, oh no!] [Call for backup, call for backup!] [Oh my God, I¡¯ve just started believing that the streamer has transmigrated and was ready to watch his livestream every day. Is he going to die soon?] [Pah pah pah, don¡¯t jinx it!] [I¡¯ve always felt that transmigration isn¡¯t real, but at the same time, it looks too convincing. It¡¯s too contradictory! However now, I¡¯d rather he did not transmigrate. I hope everything is scripted, or else the streamer would be in danger!] [It¡¯s too difficult! The streamer has used up a lot of stamina running and shooting before, and now he has to face so many bandits!] More and more people in the livestream were worried about Lin Tian¡¯s situation. The bandit leader, Ron, was holding the large wooden board. Lin Tian could not get any of the three arrows he shot through the wooden board. The fourth arrow was finally effective because it shot through the gap between the two small shields and injured one of the bandits behind it. Behind the large wooden board that was shielding the castle door area, there were more than a dozen bandits who had rushed in. At this time, the five-man patrol team had finally finished dealing with the injured bandits in front of them. However, when they saw so many bandits rushing in, they did not dare to go forward. They only dared to stand in front of Lin Tian to protect him. ¡°Attack together!¡± Seeing so many bandits rushing in, Ron shouted. Thus, all the bandits instantly rushed toward Lin Tian. The five members of the patrol team were instantly frightened. One of them immediately ran to the back. Although the other four were scared, they still stood in front of Lin Tian. Seeing this, Lin Tian immediately threw away his arrow and took out a short knife and a shield. Apart from beginner archery, he also had beginner fighting skills. Although running and shooting had consumed a lot of his stamina, he still had a high combat ability. Now that the reinforcements had arrived, he only needed to hold on for a little while longer. However, before Lin Tian could make a move, a light figure suddenly flashed past. In a flash, the figure had already charged into the group of bandits. With a swing of the short sword in her hand, she easily sliced open a bandit¡¯s throat.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The figure slid past the bandit and slashed at the other bandit with the short sword in her hand. Before the bandit could react, he felt a pain in his throat and blood spurted out. The two bandits finally shouted, but their throats had been cut. Their screams were like leaky microphones, extremely hoarse. In just a few short seconds, that nimble figure cut open the throats of another two bandits at an extremely fast speed. Within seconds, four bandits had already died at her hands! The other bandits were all stunned! The viewers in the livestream were also dumbfounded. [Cat-cat-eared lady?] As the figure was moving too fast, it was impossible to see her appearance clearly. However, when the viewers saw the small and delicate tail, they were immediately stunned. The cat lady¡¯s combat strength was actually so strong? ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Be careful¡± The small square was in chaos. The bandits finally reacted, but it was already too late. The cat-eared Mary was too agile. Her speed was far faster than these bandits. After finishing off the four people, she rushed toward another bandit. The bandit, on the other hand, noticed Mary and slashed at her with both hands. However, Mary lightly dodged his knife, and her short sword cut the bandit¡¯s neck. She had been training since she was a child. Her killer instinct allowed her to take a person¡¯s life with a single strike. ¡°Quickly gather together!¡± shouted Ron, the robber leader. He had rich combat experience. The best way to deal with such a flexible opponent was to gather together and not give the opponent a chance to escape. Thus, the remaining bandits quickly gathered together, and more bandits rushed in from behind. ¡°Boss Ron, we can¡¯t hold them off any longer!¡± At this time, the gangster leader Jerry ran in. As soon as he entered, he was stunned because the small square was filled with the corpses of the bandits. Fresh blood covered the ground, and it looked particularly frightening. His face turned pale. At this moment, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being a gangster. At least a gangster¡¯s life would not be in danger, but a bandit¡¯s head could fall off at any time! After the few bandits gathered together, cat-eared Mary finally stopped attacking. The reason why she stopped attacking was not because of the bandits¡¯ gathering strategy. It was because her injuries had not fully recovered and her body was still very weak. She had killed five people at once, and she was almost at her limit. Otherwise, as Jenny had said, she would have had no problem fighting ten people. The short sword in Mary¡¯s hand dropped due to her exhaustion, and she immediately took a defensive stance. Her face was pale. The battle just now had consumed too much of her energy. The people in the livestream could finally see her face clearly. [Wow, it really is the cat-eared lady!] [The cat-eared lady is too amazing! She easily got five kills!] [Why do I feel like this cat-eared lady is different from the one in the past?] [It¡¯s real. The streamer has definitely transmigrated. Look at the corpses on the ground and the battle just now with the cat-eared lady. How could it have been a show?] [Yeah, it¡¯s too real! I can¡¯t believe my eyes!] The comments in the livestream flew everywhere, and the situation in the small square changed again. ¡°She¡¯s out of stamina! Let¡¯s go together and kill this lord! Then we¡¯ll deal with the guys outside!¡± Ron looked at the current scene and immediately made a decision. ¡°Boss Ron, be careful, he¡¯s a mage!¡±Jerry shouted from behind. Mage? Upon hearing these three words, all the bandits took a step back in unison. [Haha, you must be scared!] [The slap to the face came too fast, the streamer knows magic!] [Bandit: I was suddenly dumbfounded.] [I look forward to the streamer casting magic again!] The atmosphere in the livestream became much relaxed. Ron cursed, ¡°Idiot, why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier!¡± There were very few mages in this world, and every mage was an extremely honorable existence. Many people would never see a mage throughout their life, but everyone knew that mages were powerful, incomparably powerful. Ron and his bandits had never seen a mage before today, but this did not affect their heartfelt respect for mages. ¡°Boss, what do we do?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s retreat, boss!¡± The bandits were struggling. ¡°Boss, their men are coming!¡±A scream of fear suddenly came from outside. Following that, there were more and more shouts. ¡°This is impossible!¡± The leader of the bandits was not expecting failure from the 30 men he sent to stop Lin Tian¡¯s army and workers! ¡°Let¡¯s go all out! We still have a chance if we kill this lord!¡± After all, Ron was the leader of the bandits, so his mind was much tougher. He steeled his heart and brought a few bandits with shields to charge at Lin Tian! A red light flashed in front of his eyes, and then the shields in front of them started to burn! ¡°Magic?!¡± shouted the bandits in confusion. Lin Tian¡¯s fire control spell was only at the beginner level. If there were flames burning in the first place, it would have been much easier for him to control the flames. However, if he used fire magic out of thin air, he could only release one fireball in a short period of time. After casting one, his spiritual power would immediately weaken, which would greatly affect his combat ability. Therefore, when these people charged in with their shields, Lin Tian did not immediately use his fire control spell because if he had used it then, it would have affected the battle situation. Moreover, when he was about to use it, Mary made her move. Mary had a great impact on the battle situation. Not only did she kill five bandits, but she also gave Lin Tian some time to rest. [It¡¯s really magic! What an eye-opener!] [Wow, I saw it clearly! It¡¯s the great fireball spell that unifies the world!] [I bet there will be some trolls who think that the streamer sent someone to pour gasoline on the wooden board in advance.] [That¡¯s what I think. What about it?] [Streamer, did you really transmigrate? How did you transmigrate?] There were many comments in the livestream. ¡°Hurry up and throw it away!¡± In the small square, seeing that the shields were burning fiercely, the bandits immediately threw their shields away in fear. Lin Tian drew his bow again. This time, he was aiming at the bandit leader. Ron was shocked by the flames. At the same time, he saw Lin Tian shoot an arrow at him. He swung his knife to block it, but he was one step too late. He was hit by the arrow. Seeing this, the other bandits lost their will to fight. One by one, they wailed and tried to escape. Lin Tian could not let them escape. He shot another arrow, knocking over a bandit who had already rushed to the door. The remaining four members of the patrol team chased after the bandits when they saw them escape. Soon, the bandits were all killed. After Ron was shot by an arrow, he was killed by the patrol team. ¡°Sir, please spare my life!¡± A row of bandits was kneeling outside the castle, and the few gangsters were among them.. Chapter 20 - After the Rewards Came the Punishments Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Many bandits had died in this battle. There were more than 20 bodies in the small castle alone, and more than 20 had died in the battle outside. Only a few bandits were still alive, and two of them were gangsters. As for the leader of the gangsters, Jerry, he was already dead. Lin Tian had let them off the last time because he felt that they did not deserve to die. He was hoping that they would learn their lesson after their punishment. Who knew that not only did they not learn their lesson, they even dared to attract the bandits. Naturally, he would not let them off again! These few people had also made Lin Tian realize one thing, and that was that he had to eradicate the roots of the problem. Many of Lin Tian¡¯s subordinates were also injured, but that was it. As there were more people on Lin Tian¡¯s side, once they were injured, there would be new people replacing them. Hence, no one suffered life-threatening injuries. ¡°Lord, what should we do with them?¡± said the sheriff. Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, ¡°Execute them publicly. Burn their bodies to prevent a plague.¡± ¡°Yes, Lord!¡± The battle with the bandits had completely established Lin Tian¡¯s authority in the tribe. The people in the tribe saw how powerful Lin Tian was. They looked at him with respect, even more than before. A large number of bandits¡¯ corpses were dragged out of the castle. Before their corpses were dragged out, someone had already searched through all of their money and belongings. Of course, they would be handed over to Lin Tian. In the end, they found 20 gold coins from the bandits, of which 10 gold coins were from the bandit leader alone. Including their horses, each of which was worth at least 10 silver coins. The spoils of this battle were very rich. The livestream was very lively. [White Rabbit sent 100 Ferraris to the streamer!] [Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick sent 100 Ferraris to the streamer!] [Ge Cheng Aunty Li sent 100 Ferraris to the streamer!] People who gave gifts came one after another. The screen was filled with the special effects of the gifts. Even if someone wanted to chat, they could not see what the comments were saying. The traffic in Lin Tian¡¯s livestream increased rapidly. In a short period of time, a large number of people flooded in. Even the newcomers were a little confused as to what was going on. Without waiting for the old viewers to explain, the livestream went dark. Many viewers were very confused. [Why did he stop the livestream right after I arrive?] [This streamer is something else. He stopped the livestream just like that!] [Wilful. This streamer is too willful!] Although the livestream had turned dark, many of the viewers did not leave. Instead, they started chatting in the livestream room. Some of the viewers were watching the replay of the livestream just now. In the town square, the sheriff picked up a document and read it out loud. The document in his hand was the execution document of the bandits. Many people had already gathered around the square. After the sheriff finished reading, a few bandits who had their heads covered were pushed onto the gallows together with the two gangsters. They were publicly executed. Returning to the castle, Lin Tian forced Mary to drink some very bitter Chinese medicine. ¡°Drink the medicine.¡± Mary¡¯s face scrunched up. ¡°It¡¯s so bitter!¡± ¡°Bitter is good. Good medicine tastes bitter,¡± Lin Tian said. Mary pinched her nose and drank the medicine, then laid down again. ¡°Although you¡¯re a magician, I will still protect you well. As for today, I have not fully recovered yet. Otherwise, I could¡¯ve killed all of them.¡± Mary was still upset about her performance today. As Lin Tian¡¯s guard, how could she let Lin Tian take action? Lin Tian said, ¡°I believe you. You should rest well.¡± Hearing his words, Mary felt warmth in her heart and slowly fell asleep. After leaving Jenny to take care of Mary, Lin Tian left the castle and walked to the small town. The few bandits had been publicly executed. Next, there was another important thing, which was to reward them based on their performance this time. Dozens of people from the tribal army stood there with their backs straight. Lin Tian stood in front of them and swept his gaze across them. Their performance this time was pretty good. ¡°Daniel, step out!¡± Lin Tian said. ¡°Yes, Lord!¡± A man around the age of 30 heard this and immediately took a step forward, stepping out of the group. This man was the man who had the best performance in this battle. During the battle, it was thanks to his leadership that Lin Tian¡¯s subordinates, who had no combat experience were able to fight in an orderly manner. ¡°From today onward, you will be promoted to the rank of captain. Your monthly salary will be increased to 500 copper coins.¡± Daniel¡¯s face revealed a look of joy. ¡°Thank you, Lord!¡± The cheers of a few children and a woman could be heard from the crowd, where were his wife and children. The rest of the people were very envious. Lin Tian continued, ¡°In this battle, you killed two enemies by yourself and worked together with your teammates to kill one enemy. You have commanded well. This time, you¡¯ll receive a total of 80 silver coins as a reward. As this is your first battle, I will directly reward you with one gold coin.¡± Hearing Lin Tian¡¯s words, Daniel was filled with gratitude. ¡°Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!¡± His wife and children were also filled with gratitude. As for the surrounding people, they were all extremely envious, especially the other members of the tribal army. They were all regretful. If only they had been able to perform a little more valiantly before. In Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, many people could not earn a single gold coin in ten years. However, after a battle, not only was Daniel¡¯s status promoted, but he also received a gold coin. Naturally, he was envied. Lin Tian also made it very clear that since this was their first battle, the rewards were very high. After that, there would be a more detailed reward plan. After Daniel received the reward, Lin Tian called out another person. Previously, during the battle, Lin Tian had promised that one bandit killed was equivalent to 20 silver coins, but the five-man patrol team in the castle only had five silver coins as they were just finishing the bandits off. However, such a reward was already a huge reward for the residents of the tribe. Normally, Lin Tian would not have offered such a high reward. However, in that situation, he did not have a better choice because he was afraid that the residents would be scared off by the bandits. After all, there were too many of them. If they did not take care of the bandits outside and all the bandits charged in, Lin Tian would not be able to do anything by himself. Even though he had twice the physical fitness, his stamina was still limited. Not to mention that he had run a long distance and consumed a lot of stamina. A handsome reward was the most suitable method. In the end, more than a dozen people received a reward of 20 silver coins. A few others killed the enemy together with their teammates and received 10 silver coins. The few members of the patrol team also received quite an amount. In the end, Lin Tian paid a total of about five gold coins. He received 20 gold coins from the bandits. After deducting five gold coins, there were 15 left. This battle was profitable. Not only did he win some gold coins, but all the recruits had also gained some battle experience. The next time they encountered bandits, they would be at an advantage. After the rewards came the punishments.. Chapter 21 - Tauren Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Lord, please spare my life. I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have run!¡± A man was brought up. This man was the one who ran away in fear when he saw the bandit leader and the others rush in. ¡°Rules are rules,¡± Lin Tian said loudly. ¡°According to the rules, those who run away should be beheaded. However, seeing that you have contributed greatly to the battle before you ran, the merits and demerits should be offset.¡± ¡°Drag him out. Give him 20 lashes and drive him out of the army.¡± ¡°Yes, Lord!¡± A few soldiers walked up and dragged the man who was constantly crying away. The sound of whips soon rang out. Lin Tian began to appoint new members. Based on their performances from the battle, he appointed five new team leaders. Then, he appointed an administrator and a few clerks to manage the town¡¯s administration. There used to be a mayor in the town, however, after the death ot the old mayor, the security took charge. After Lin Tian¡¯s rewards and punishments, the tribe was brand new. The new cement arrived that day. The workers began to use the dump trucks that Lin Tian had bought to transport the cement to the construction site. Some sheds had been set up at the construction site, and there was a large amount of cement inside. Every night, five people would stand guard there to prevent people from stealing. The craftsmen that Lin Tian had gathered were very interested in cement. There were not many craftsmen in this world, and their income was higher than that of ordinary people. Lin Tian paid a high salary to the craftsmen in the neighboring town and had also promised to settle their families in, wanting to poach them over. These craftsmen were also somewhat tempted. The construction site was busy. As there were many workers, the progress of the construction of the city wall was very fast. Within a few days, dozens of meters of the city wall had been built. The city wall was neither too tall nor too thick. It was only about six meters high and had a width of three meters at the bottom and one meter at the top. It was thick enough for a person to stand on top of it. The city wall was built using a mixture of stone and cement, hence it was very sturdy. Lin Tian planned to build it first and then expand it depending on the situation. The bandits and horse gangs in the current world did not have any weapons to attack the city. The six-meter-high city wall was sufficient for now. After making his rounds, Lin Tian returned to the castle. In the square of the castle, the bloodstains had already been washed clean, but Lin Tian still felt a little uncomfortable. He felt the need to recruit more people to speed up the construction of the city. After he checked on Mary, he returned to his bedroom and was so tired that he did not want to wash up. He laid down on the bed and prepared to sleep. He had used up too much energy today and was left feeling exhausted with his entire body aching. ¡°Master, let me give you a massage,¡± gently suggested Cat-eared Jenny as she could tell that he was exhausted. ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Tian did not refuse. Jenny brought Lin Tian hot water and helped him wash his face and feet. Then, she carefully wiped his body clean. Sensing Lin Tian¡¯s strong masculine aura, cat-eared Jenny¡¯s face could not help but blush slightly. After she helped Lin Tian wash up, she realized that Lin Tian was already asleep. Jenny poured out the water and walked into the bedroom to gently massage Lin Tian. The next morning, Lin Tian woke up to his muscles feeling much more comfortable. Then, he saw cat-eared Jenny lying on the side of his bed, asleep. She seemed to have accidentally fallen asleep last night after massaging him for a long time. No wonder his body was no longer sore. When Lin Tian woke up, Jenny, who had very sensitive ears, was also woken up. ¡°Master, you¡¯re awake. I¡¯ll go get you some water.¡± Lin Tian saw the dark circles under her eyes and patted her head. ¡°Go back to sleep. I can do it myself today.¡± However, Jenny insisted, ¡°Let me do it, master.¡± Soon, she brought some hot water. After washing up, Lin Tian ordered Jenny to rest before leaving for the small town. When he was about to reach the small town, Lin Tian turned on the livestream. [Good morning, streamer.] [Streamer, I believe that you have indeed transmigrated. Why don¡¯t I send you a gun? I have a way.] [Police: open the door, spot check.] The livestream quickly became lively. After yesterday¡¯s livestream, many viewers watched the replay carefully and felt that Lin Tian had indeed transmigrated, especially those who loved reading novels. However, there were still many viewers who did not quite believe it. In their opinion, there were many suspicious points in the livestream, such as Lin Tian¡¯s cement, crossbow, biscuits, milk, and so on. If he had really transmigrated, why would he have these items? Although Lin Tian had said that he had transmigrated at the start of the livestream, he was not stupid enough to say that his phone had become a system. Moreover, Lin Tian did not care whether the others believed him or not. As long as they would continue watching the livestream, it was enough. Lin Tian said a few simple words and attracted a small wave of gifts. Just as he walked into the town, he received a report from a clerk. ¡°Lord, another slave trader has arrived. Do you want to take a look and see if there¡¯s anyone you like?¡± The clerk was used to convey and record orders and messages. He was also responsible for maintaining law and order and resolving small conflicts between residents. Lin Tian raised his head and saw several carriages parked in the town square. These carriages were all equipped with iron cages. One of the iron cages was very tall and inside it was a giant that was over two meters tall. However, this giant¡¯s face was that of an ox. Lin Tian thought of the game he had played in the past and could not help but blurt out, ¡°Tauren!¡± [Wow, tauren!] [Long live, long Live!] [It¡¯s too tall. How can it be played by a human?] [666!] [Streamer, buy it!] Lin Tian walked over. With every step he took, the tauren in the cage looked even taller. Not only was he tall, but his body was also very strong. He was double the size of a human. Seeing Lin Tian walk over, the tauren wanted to squat down. However, a slave trader beside him knocked on the cage with an iron rod. The tauren had no choice but to stand up reluctantly. The tauren looked dispirited, as if he was famished. Lin Tian looked at the tauren and then turned to look at the other cages. The other cages had a very short person, an ugly person, and an empty one. They must have been sold. He looked at the slave trader. This time, the slave trader was different from the previous one. In a borderland like theirs, there were many slave traders. It was normal for them to not be the same one. ¡°Lord, what do you think of this tauren? He has great stamina and he can work and fight. He¡¯s very affordable too!¡± The clerk moved closer to Lin Tian¡¯s ear, he said in a low voice, ¡°Lord, don¡¯t be deceived. This tauren is indeed strong, but he also has a big appetite. No one is willing to buy him. I heard that there was a baron who raised a few tauren and ended up being eaten by them.¡± Lin Tian was stunned. Based on the tauren¡¯s strong body, he probably had a huge appetite. However, to eat up a baron was a little exaggerated. The slave trader guessed the words of the clerk and his expression became much unsightly.. Chapter 22 - Bargaining With Eyes Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian asked calmly, ¡°What¡¯s the price for this tauren?¡± The slave trader hesitated for a moment, then stretched out two fingers. ¡°Two gold coins.¡± Lin Tian continued looking at the slave trader calmly, and the slave trader¡¯s expression changed. The clerk¡¯s words were indeed correct. The tauren was not a slave that could easily be sold. Only in big cities would one or two nobles buy them provided they were interested, but they often also disliked the trouble. After all, there was no threat of war in big cities, and once a large-scale war broke out, one or two taurens would be of no use. To the nobles, taurens were a type of beastmen. If there were too many of them, the risk of danger would increase. This was because, in the eyes of many human nobles, the beastmen were uncivilized barbarians. As for the small nobles at the borders, they did not have the ability to raise a tauren. If they were not given food, they would not have the energy to work; but if they were given food, their appetites would be too large. One tauren could feed dozens of people. Seeing that Lin Tian did not seem interested, the slave trader gritted his teeth and said, ¡°One gold coin.¡± Lin Tian remained silent. The slave trader recalled how he had already walked past several tribes, but none of the lords were interested. If the tauren were to fall into his hands, he would not be able to bear the tauren¡¯s appetite! The slave trader said in a deep voice, ¡°80 silver coins, I can¡¯t go any lower!¡± Lin Tian did not haggle and said directly, ¡°Deal.¡± The slave trader suddenly realized that in his confrontation with Lin Tian, he became anxious because of his calm gaze! He immediately felt that he was at a loss! The viewers in the livestream room laughed crazily. [You didn¡¯t expect it, did you? You¡¯ve been tricked!] [The streamer¡¯s ultimate skill, death gaze!] [The slave trader can¡¯t keep his cool!] Lin Tian took out a gold coin from his money bag and handed it to the slave trader. ¡°Lord, do you want to take a look at these two? One is a dwarf and the other is a gnome.¡± Lin Tian caught the word ¡°gnome¡± in his ears and glanced in the direction the slave trader pointed. The gnome¡¯s appearance was very ugly, so Lin Tian was not interested. He walked to the dwarf and asked, ¡°What can you do?¡± The dwarf hid in the corner of the cage and did not move. Lin Tian continued, ¡°As long as you can prove your worth, I will buy you. As long as you don¡¯t leave my tribe, I can give you the identity as a free citizen.¡± The dwarf¡¯s ears twitched. He stood up and whispered into Lin Tian¡¯s ear, ¡°I know how to forge.¡± The slave trader beside him tried his best to listen, but he could not hear anything. The dwarf was a smart man. He was worried that the slave trader would raise the price after hearing him. Lin Tian said indifferently, ¡°Since you don¡¯t have any abilities, then I won¡¯t buy you. Give me my change.¡± The dwarf¡¯s eyes were full of disappointment. The slave merchant advised, ¡°Lord, please reconsider.¡± One needed luck to obtain a beautiful cat-eared lady, and not every slave merchant could obtain one. If an ordinary slave merchant could earn one or two gold coins per trip, it was already a very high income. Of course, it was nothing for a big slave merchant. Moreover, they would not come to such a remote place. Lin Tian said, ¡°Then let¡¯s make it a round figure. You don¡¯t have to give me my change. One gold coin for a tauren and a dwarf, how about that?¡± The dwarf instantly understood what Lin Tian meant, and his eyes lit up. The slave trader hesitated for a moment but still agreed. ¡°Alright.¡± He wanted to sell all his slaves as soon as possible. If he lost this opportunity, he did not know when he would be able to sell the dwarf. After all, dwarves were not popular slaves. With that, Lin Tian obtained a tauren and a dwarf for one gold coin. He was prepared to place them in the headquarters of the territory¡¯s army where there would be people on duty every day. After seeing the tauren tremble from hunger as he got off the carriage, Lin Tian took out a large number of biscuits, chicken legs, water, and said, ¡°Eat up.¡± He wanted to see just how big the tauren¡¯s appetite was. All that was left in the tauren¡¯s eyes was food. He finished all the biscuits that Lin Tian gave him in a few bites. [F*ck, ten biscuits in one bite?] [This must be a super big eater!] [Food bloggers have been instantly reduced to dregs!] In a few minutes, the tauren finished dozens of biscuits, thirty chicken legs, and three bottles of water, but he was still not full. Lin Tian asked his men to bring out more food, and the tauren continued to eat. The townsfolk were all dumbfounded. Was this guy¡¯s stomach a bottomless pit?! The viewers in the livestream were also stunned. [F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!] [Uhm¡­ being able to eat is a blessing (laughing and crying).] [F*ck, streamer, I have a brilliant idea for you. You can start another livestream and stream this guy as he eats. I¡¯m sure his popularity will skyrocket!] [He ate my meal in one bite! How scary!] Half an hour later, the tauren finally stopped. Lin Tian roughly counted the number. The tauren had eaten more than a hundred biscuits, forty chicken legs, and ten bottles of water! The weight of all these food added up to more than 30 catties! He was secretly shocked. Sure enough, he could eat! [Kneel down to the boss!] [Won¡¯t the streamer be eaten up by him?] [What is a true glutton? This is it!] [Eating Is A Blessing sent one cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [Comment: Streamer, do you want to stream together? Take a look at your private message!] [White Rabbit sent 10 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] [Shiba Go Go Go sent one cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [Comment: Streamer, you must let him stay! It felt so good watching him eat!] [Dowyin Operator Li Miaomiao sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [Comment: Streamer, is it convenient for you to return my call or reply to my private message? I am a Dowyin operator and I want to sign a contract with you!] This reward immediately attracted the attention of the viewers in the livestream. [Dowyin operator? Really?] [Oh my God, the streamer hasn¡¯t even signed a contract yet!] [It must be fake. It must be some livestreaming company!] In the town square, the tauren burped after finally having his fill. Then, he knelt down facing Lin Tian, tears streaming down his face, and a humming sound came out of his mouth. [He has been subdued with just one meal?] [So honest!] [That¡¯s how a script should be played out!] [Comment above, go and find me a person who can eat tens of kilograms in one meal!] Lin Tian was also very surprised by the tauren¡¯s attitude. Had he never eaten his fill before? There was not much food in the Beastmen Kingdom to begin with. Not only did the tauren had a large appetite, but he also could not eat grass. He was probably in a constant state of hunger. The meal he had just given the tauren was probably the first time he had ever eaten his fill, which was why he was so moved. Lin Tian called over a clerk. ¡°Arrange a place for the tauren and the dwarf..¡± Chapter 23 - Fox-Eared Lady Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian looked at the tauren and said, ¡°You can rest for today. Tomorrow, you will start moving rocks at the construction site.¡± Although the tauren had a huge appetite, he could afford it. If he were to livestream the tauren¡¯s meals every day, his livestream¡¯s traffic would not be too bad. Furthermore, with his huge physique, he had an advantage in work. Lin Tian was preparing to develop his own industry in the future. Many dwarves were forging experts. If he could get more dwarves through the dwarf in front of him, it would be interesting to pass on the current technology to them. Of course, the prerequisite was to subdue them and make them loyal. The dwarf kept staring at a soldier¡¯s knife, his eyes unblinking. That knife was a craft knife that Lin Tian had bought online. It was of average quality prior to his transmigration and was made using modern technology. When the dwarf saw this knife, he discovered its uniqueness. His hand could not help but move, indicating that he was very interested. ¡°Lord, can you give me the same knife? I want to study it.¡± The dwarf did not beat around the bush and made a direct request. Lin Tian instantly understood the dwarf¡¯s weakness. He took out a knife and handed it to the dwarf. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°My Lord, my name is Cullen.¡± Lin Tian took out a steel dagger and played with it. ¡°Okay, you can study it first. If you need anything, just tell me.¡± Cullen¡¯s eyes lit up and his hands were glued to the dagger in Lin Tian¡¯s hand. However, Lin Tian quickly put the dagger away and left. He successfully whetted Cullen¡¯s appetite. The next day, Cullen began to study the knife that Lin Tian had given him, and Tauren John was also involved in the construction. Lin Tian fulfilled Cullen¡¯s request and bought him some tools to forge iron, such as bellows and hammers. In addition, he also bought a lot of coal. After the tauren joined, the overall efficiency increased significantly. Although he ate a lot, his performance was also good. He had great strength and could easily lift some rocks that required three or four people to lift. On this day, Lin Tian briefly livestreamed the situation at the construction site and received many rewards. The tauren was very popular. Many people said that they wanted to continue watching the tauren eat, and there were also a bunch of people clamoring, wanting to see the cat-eared lady. During the livestream, they happened to be having lunch, so Lin Tian took the opportunity to livestream the scene of the tauren eating. The people in the livestream exclaimed in satisfaction. More and more people believed that Lin Tian had really transmigrated. Every day, they would wait in his livestream room, waiting for him to start livestreaming. Although the others were still slightly skeptical, they still watched with relish. These two types of people would have arguments every day about whether the streamer had transmigrated or not. For Lin Tian, this just happened to make the livestream more lively. At this moment, a clerk led many people over. ¡°Lord, we¡¯ve recruited a few hundred more people.¡± Many of these people came over voluntarily after they heard that Lin Tian¡¯s tribe was hiring workers on a large scale with high pay. Lin Tian still had more than 110 coins in his hands. Some of them were gold coins, while the rest were silver and copper coins. Each worker¡¯s daily salary was eight copper coins. A thousand workers were equivalent to eight thousand copper coins, which was less than one gold coin. Therefore, the money he had on hand was enough to support him for the time being. As for the workers¡¯ food, Lin Tian had to rely on Moujing. He needed about few thousand sets of food on a daily basis. The expenditure was not small, but Lin Tian had enough money on hand. He still bought cement every day from Moujing. Other building materials, such as sand and stones, were directly taken from the tribe. With a few hundred more people, the speed of the city building became faster. Lin Tian had been livestreaming the bulding of the city during this period of time and the people in the livestream were all very interested and had given quite a few rewards. After a few more days, the construction team had expanded to over a thousand people. Many people from the surrounding nobles¡¯ territories came to work. With over a thousand people building the city, it looked very shocking. [What a big expenditure!] [Does anyone still think that the streamer hasn¡¯t transmigrated? Go find over a thousand people to act along with you and see how much salary you need!] [Their progress is so fast, the city wall is almost completed!] The livestream was as lively as ever. Other than the comments from the viewers, someone called Dowyin Operator Li Miaomiao would come and give a reward every day. She could not contact Lin Tian, be it a phone call or a private message, so she could only use this method. Unfortunately, Lin Tian did not see her rewards and messages at all. However, even if he did, he would not care. Because to him, it did not matter whether he signed the contract or not, as long as he could withdraw the money. That day, the merchant named Carl came again. He used 200 gold coins to buy some glasses, mirrors, and combs from Lin Tian. Thus, the gold coins in Lin Tian¡¯s hands became even more abundant. He expanded the recruitment scale and continued to speed up the construction of the city. He also bought some simple mezzanine foam walls to set up a shop around the construction site. He placed the small toys, clothes, towels, and other things that he had bought from Moujing in the shop and sent people to guard them. Therefore, every day after work, the workers would gather around the shop to buy things. Through this method, Lin Tian recouped the salary that he had given out. [The streamer¡¯s tricks are unfathomable!] [The tricks of us earthlings, the people from the other world can¡¯t beat us!] A few days later, Mary had finally fully recovered. It had already been more than ten days since she arrived at Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. In these ten days, Lin Tian¡¯s tribe had undergone earth-shaking changes. The city wall was now completed, and a brand new castle was being built near the north. Lin Tian had redesigned the new castle. The pure western-style castle was not very comfortable to live in, and it felt very eerie. Though, the advantage was that it had very good defense. After Lin Tian¡¯s modification, the new castle had more space, better lighting, and was more suitable for living. On this day, a stranger suddenly walked into Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. She had a pair of ears, similar to the cat ears, but pointier. The color of her tail was also different. Yes, this was a fox girl! The fox girl sneaked into Lin Tian¡¯s tribe overnight. After a day, she finally found her target ¡ª Mary¡¯s bedroom. After Mary took a shower, she opened her room door, and her ears perked up. Similarly, her tail also shot up abruptly from its relaxed state. Obviously, she sensed danger! A dagger appeared in her hand, but there was already another dagger at her waist. A delicate voice sounded in Mary¡¯s ear, ¡°Mary, you¡¯ve been on the run for more than half a month. I have been searching for you! Our teacher is worried about you, so she asked me to look for you. If you were dead, then I would need to bring your body back.¡± Mary¡¯s hand that was holding the dagger suddenly loosened, and the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound. ¡°What if I¡¯m not dead?¡± she asked.. Chapter 24 - Captive to Delicious Food Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The person behind her laughed, but her tone was fierce. ¡°If you¡¯re not dead, then I¡¯ll bring your head back! Our teacher hates disobedient children the most!¡± Mary asked, ¡°Wendy, are you here to kill me?¡± Wendy chuckled. ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t do it.¡± ¡°Hmph, how would you know? I hate you the most. You fight with me over everything!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have a chance.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± A calm voice sounded from behind. ¡°Of course.¡± Wendy turned around and saw a well-dressed man standing behind her. He was holding a crossbow in his hand that was pointed at her. She froze! Mary said, ¡°Wendy, have you forgotten? My alertness is much higher than yours.¡± Wendy snorted. ¡°So you¡¯ve already noticed me?¡± ¡°Of course. Otherwise, how could you have snuck in?¡± Wendy was not convinced. ¡°No matter how fast the arrow is, I can still kill you before it can.¡± Mary turned around. She ignored the dagger in Wendy¡¯s hand and slowly wiped her hair with the towel. ¡°Wendy, did our teacher give you a kill order?¡± A hint of frustration flashed in Wendy¡¯s eyes. Mary was not afraid at all! However, she really could not bring herself to do it! She could only put away the dagger and reply, ¡°Yes, you ignored the rules and ran out. You even broke into the gnome¡¯s camp and killed many gnomes. Moreover, that gnome tribe happened to have someone working in the imperial city. That person reported you to the king, and the king got angry. As a result, our teacher was furious and was prepared to kill you.¡± Lin Tian put away the crossbow in his hand and carefully looked at the fox-eared lady in front of him. When the fox-eared lady barged into the tribe and peered into Lin Tian¡¯s castle, Mary had already discovered her. Just like how she, as a cat lady, was good at detecting abnormal movements in her surrounding environment, Wendy, a fox lady, was very good at hiding. Mary had no way to locate her, so she conspired with Lin Tian to set up this trap. As expected, Wendy had fallen for their trap. Lin Tian looked between Mary and Wendy and felt that their relationship was not ordinary. In short, they were probably in a love-hate relationship with each other. There might have been a lot of fights in the past. On the surface, they looked like enemies, but in secret, they were very close. Perhaps it was because of this that their teacher sent Wendy to kill Mary. When Mary heard Wendy¡¯s words, she was not worried at all. She asked, ¡°Did our teacher send you to arrest me because she knew that you couldn¡¯t do it?¡± Wendy was stunned. ¡°Of course not! The teacher was very angry!¡± Mary¡¯s gaze softened. ¡°Wendy, do you know that these days have been the best days of my life?¡± Wendy could not understand. Mary continued, ¡°I can sleep until I wake up naturally every day. I don¡¯t have to think about all kinds of ways to kill people. I don¡¯t have to be afraid. I am free. Compared to my current life, my past life is like a nightmare.¡± Wendy said, ¡°Why do you say that? At least in the past, you didn¡¯t have to be like the other beastmen who couldn¡¯t get enough to eat!¡± Mary smiled. ¡°I no longer need to starve myself.¡± She thought of the delicious food that Lin Tian had given her. She walked to the cupboard and took out a bag of potato chips. ¡°Here, try this.¡± Wendy leaned over curiously. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Mary took out a potato chip from the bag and handed it to her. ¡°Potato chips.¡± Wendy took it and looked at it carefully. She did not eat them. Mary did not care and began to eat happily. At this moment, Jenny walked over. ¡°Sister, where did you get the potato chip from?¡± Mary looked at Lin Tian. This potato chip was a reward from Lin Tian for her contribution to the battle. Jenny had eaten it before, but Lin Tian did not buy anymore for her because he was worried that she would get fat from eating it. When Jenny saw the potato chip, her eyes immediately turned into stars. Then, she turned around and looked at Lin Tian pitifully. Lin Tian coughed and said, ¡°You can have some, but not too much.¡± Jenny immediately walked to Mary¡¯s side, grabbed a handful of potato chips, and started to eat them. Wendy looked left and right, and finally, put the potato chips into her mouth. Crack! A crisp sound was heard. Wendy started to chew slowly, and her eyes gradually widened. She had never eaten such delicious food! After she finished eating, she immediately asked, ¡°Do you have more?¡± She had completely forgotten her mission and only had potato chips in her mind. ¡°Here.¡± Mary grabbed another handful for her. Wendy¡¯s eyes lit up as she took it and began to eat happily. ¡°Wendy, you¡¯re too mean! You didn¡¯t tell me earlier that there was such delicious food!¡± Lin Tian was suddenly confused. The scene had changed too quickly! Two cat-eared ladies and a fox-eared lady were actually gluttonous foodies! ¡°Oh, it¡¯s so delicious!¡± The fox-eared lady exclaimed happily as she ate. She looked like she was only in her teens, and her appearance was not similar to the cat-eared lady. The cat-eared lady was cute and gentle. Although she was cute, it was very likely that she would mature into a charming lady. However, they were all very good-looking. Lin Tian thought of what she had said before and felt that their training was probably to carry out some assassination missions for the king of the Beastmen Kingdom. Compared to the Human Kingdom, the Beastmen Kingdom was very chaotic. They had a tribal system and each tribe was independent and would occasionally fight each other. The tribe that the king of the Beastmen Kingdom belonged to was the largest tribe. Jenny had told him all this. Jenny was gentle, so she would tell him a lot of relevant information. However, Mary was very cold and aloof. She rarely spoke but this was probably molded by her training over the past ten years. After all, when carrying out an assassination mission, most of the time, one would act alone and would even need to be in the hiding for a long time. Nonsense was the most useless thing. Of course, if Lin Tian took the initiative to ask, Mary would still say what she needed to say. Soon, the three of them finished all the potato chips. Wendy asked eagerly, ¡°Mary, do you have any more?¡± To Wendy, the chips were extremely delicious! If it was not for her image, she would have licked her fingers. Mary replied, ¡°No more. We can¡¯t eat too much potato chips.¡± Wendy let out an ¡°Oh¡± in disappointment. She had already begun to miss the taste of potato chips! It was too plain to describe this taste as delicious. Once, after she had successfully completed a mission, the king had rewarded her with a delicacy that was said to only be eaten by the king. Compared to potato chips, it was much inferior! It was simply the most delicious food in the world! ¡°Mary, where did you get the potato chips?¡± Jenny replied, ¡°Master gave them to us.¡± ¡°Master?¡± Wendy turned her head outside and pointed at Lin Tian. ¡°Is it him?¡± Lin Tian was sitting on a chair in the hall drinking hot tea. Jenny nodded. ¡°Yes, he is our master.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Wendy answered in a low voice. Although the potato chips were delicious, she was not familiar with Lin Tian. At this time, the mission popped up in her mind again. She sighed and said, ¡°It seems that I¡¯ll be failing this mission. I wonder how teacher will punish me..¡± Chapter 25 - The Lotus Plague Was Coming Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mary said, ¡°Wendy, don¡¯t go back. I know the teacher¡¯s character. As long as you don¡¯t go back, nothing will happen.¡± Wendy shook her head. ¡°No, Mary, I have to go back. Even if I don¡¯t go back to the imperial city, I have to go back to the tribe. Because the plague of locusts is coming!¡± The plague of locusts! Jenny and Mary¡¯s expressions changed. ¡°The autumn harvest is coming soon. What should we do?¡± Lin Tian walked in. ¡°What plague of locusts?¡± Wendy answered, ¡°The plague of locusts. It was said that the god¡¯s anger causes the plague of locusts to arrive. Now, the plague has swept through the north and is about to head south. All the tribes are fighting for grain, but the grains aren¡¯t ripe yet. Many people would starve to death this year!¡± The tribes in the Beastmen Kingdom also grew food, but their farming techniques were poor and thus yielded low profits. The locust plague would make the situation worse. Lin Tian¡¯s expression became serious. He did not think about how many people would starve to death in the Beastmen Kingdom. Regardless of which world it was, there would be many disasters. He was just an ordinary person and did not have the ability to save the world. What he was thinking about was that once the locust plague happened, the great famine would not be far away. His tribe did not have to worry about famine because he could buy sufficient food from Moujing. However, for the rest of the world, it would be a disaster. The order of the entire world would become even more chaotic, and the bandits would become even more rampant. ¡°Will the plague of locusts spread over?¡± he asked. Wendy nodded. ¡°Teacher said it will definitely happen. But it will probably take another month or so.¡± She looked at Mary and said, ¡°The king has to rely on the gnomes because they can exchange food with the dark elves underground to ensure the royal family¡¯s supply. That¡¯s why the king is so angry that you killed the gnomes.¡± Lin Tian calculated the time in his mind. More than a month¡­ Once the great famine broke out, bandits and robbers would be everywhere. Fortunately, they had received the news early and had some time to prepare. The city wall had been built. Six meters should be enough to block many attacks. Lin Tian planned to increase the height of the city wall. It would be fine if no one could stand on it. This way, it would be useless even if someone had a ladder. Besides, the bandits would not have such a long ladder. Famine was a crisis and also an opportunity. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to expand the population of his territory. The population of the territory was too small at the moment. There were only about 2,000 people and it was very difficult to form an army. He had been expanding the army these days, but the number had only reached 100. In his eyes, this number was still too small. Out of the 100 people, he only picked out a dozen or so people who had talent in archery. Lin Tian gave them bows and arrows, telling them to practice their archery skills. Following that, he picked out another thirty or so people and gave them crossbows. Crossbows were more energy-saving, but they could not replace bows and arrows. That was because bows could be shot in a projectile manner, but crossbows could not. For example, when defending the city, they could close the city gates and use bows and arrows to shoot at the people who were rushing toward them. The same action would be different if they were using crossbows. Crossbows were more suitable for straight shots, and this was also related to their arrows. Their bows were long and their arrows were short, and their current length was the most suitable. Changing the length would affect their power. There would probably be a lot of victims from this famine. Lin Tian had planned to use this opportunity to gather the victims and expand the population of the tribe. The larger the population of the tribe, the more prosperous the economy would be. Of course, it was also dangerous. If the news of Lin Tian having food spread out, there would definitely be many horse bandits coming for Lin Tian. Hence, he decided to speed up the construction of the city and expand the number of troops simultaneously. Meanwhile, Mary was still talking to Wendy. Wendy was determined to return to her tribe. Due to the influence of the locust plague, the grain production in the Beastmen Kingdom was much lower, which would lead to a lot of chaos. There would definitely be a lot of fighting between tribes when tribes without food would go and snatch food from other tribes. Wendy was prepared to return to her own tribe to take charge. She had started training since she was young, and could be considered the strongest warrior in the tribe. ¡°Forget it, do whatever you want.¡± Mary saw that she was unwilling to change her mind, so she had no other choice. ¡°Mary, take care. I¡¯ll tell my teacher that you¡¯re dead when I get back.¡± Wendy was about to leave when Lin Tian stopped her. ¡°Wait!¡± She turned around and looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian took out a sword that he had spent two thousand yuan on and said, ¡°This is a pretty good sword. I¡¯ll give it to you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to my place.¡± Wendy¡¯s eyes fell on the sword. She could see that this was indeed a rare sword! Wendy was not the only one who was attracted to it. Mary was equally attracted to it. She had been recovering for the past few days so Lin Tian had not changed her weapon yet. As an outstanding warrior, she could naturally see the rarity of this short sword. Wendy took the short sword and slashed at her original short sword. With a slight sound, her original sword was cut in half! ¡°So sharp!¡± Wendy¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Lin Tian with hesitation, ¡°Sir Lin Tian, this sword is too valuable¡­¡± Lin Tian interrupted her, ¡°Since I gave it to you, you should take it. Also, I¡¯ll give you these bags of potato chips.¡± As he said that, he handed Wendy a few bags of potato chips. Wendy¡¯s eyes lit up even more. Eventually, Wendy accepted the short sword and the potato chips. She bowed respectfully to Lin Tian and left the tribe. Jenny looked at Wendy¡¯s departing figure and was a little worried. ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous for her to go back.¡± Mary said, ¡°She¡¯s a stubborn person. She won¡¯t change what she has set her mind on. With her skills and master¡¯s sword, nothing will happen to her. When the plague is over, I will try to persuade her. The teacher sent her out because she didn¡¯t mean for her to return. If she goes back, the teacher will need to punish her.¡± Lin Tian was curious. ¡°Who is your teacher? She sounds like someone who treats you well.¡± Mary¡¯s gaze became distant. ¡°I don¡¯t know. The teacher always wears a mask on her face. She is a person full of secrets.¡± It was already late at night. Lin Tian realized that Mary seemed to have some words at the tip of her tongue. He thought for a moment, took out two short swords and daggers, and handed them to Mary. ¡°Mary, this is your new equipment.¡± As his bodyguard, Mary naturally deserved better equipment. The short swords that she was using were already considered rare in the current world. However, compared to the world Lin Tian was in before he transmigrated, they were far inferior. In the current world, there were not many people who knew how to forge iron, and steel was non-existent. On the other hand, the short swords sold in some shops on Moujing were all made of very good steel. A two thousand yuan sword was pretty decent. After all, kitchen knives and the like in supermarkets were only worth a few tens of yuan each. The particularly sharp pig slaughtering knives were only worth around a hundred yuan. The materials used to forge them were much inferior to the short swords. Of course, compared to the expensive top-notch forged knives that cost tens of thousands of yuan each, the two thousand yuan ones were also inferior.. Chapter 26 - One Scene for One Gift Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian had already sharpened the dagger. Mary took the dagger and unsheathed it. She held it in her hand and twirled it, performing a few slashes. Her eyes curved with joy. Lin Tian gave Wendy one dagger, but he gave her two. She was overjoyed. ¡°Thank you, master. I will protect you well.¡± ¡°Okay, rest early. We will go to the construction site together tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Mary nodded obediently. The next day, after breakfast, Lin Tian left the castle with the two cat-eared ladies. There were many things to deal with in his territory. Besides Carl, another businessman came. This man¡¯s wealth was almost equal to Carl¡¯s and he bought some items with 100 gold coins. The daily expenses aside, Lin Tian still had more than 300 gold coins. He decided to hire someone who knew how to settle accounts. Now, he was the one who settled the wages every day, and it would take him about an hour each time. In his territory, there were too few talents, and those who could read were even rarer. Walking to the construction site, Lin Tian started the livestream. [Good morning, streamer!] [Every time I see that handsome face, I feel that life is wonderful!] The people in the livestream greeted Lin Tian one after another. Then, when they saw the two cat-eared ladies, the comments immediately changed! [Two cat-eared ladies?] [Oh my God, they really are two cat-eared ladies, and they look exactly the same!] [Are they twins?] [Oh my God, my nose is bleeding!] [I really want to switch places with the streamer!] Jenny had been taking care of Mary for the past few days and had not been following Lin Tian. Many of the viewers in the livestream had been longing to see the cat-eared lady. Who knew that two cat-eared ladies would appear! The two cat-eared ladies looked exactly the same, aside from their hairstyles and eye colors! The lethality was huge! Lin Tian¡¯s livestream was extremely lively, and the construction site was also bustling with activity. Lin Tian had offered them overtime pay, one copper coin every two hours, so many people set up tents outside the construction site and lived there, working 12 hours a day. They did not work longer hours because this was the maximum working time that Lin Tian had set. In order to avoid dirty and messy work, Lin Tian had specially built toilets for them, strictly requiring them to pay attention to hygiene and not to litter, or else their wages would be deducted. At the same time, he had also sent a patrol team to monitor them. Although he really wanted to finish the construction as soon as possible, he did not want the tribe to be in a mess. Tauren John had also arrived, but the viewers in the livestream did not pay attention to him. They were all looking at the cat-eared ladies. However, the automatic cameras did not care what the viewers wanted to see and only filmed the cat-eared ladies once or twice. [Ah ah ah! Streamer, give me a few more scenes of the cat-eared ladies!] [Streamer, give the cat-eared ladies a few more scenes! Don¡¯t make me kneel down and beg you!] [+ 10086.] The viewers were going crazy. [Cutie Cat-eared Lady gave the streamer a Ferrari!] [Comment: One scene for one Ferrari!] [Idiosyncratic Pig gave the streamer a cloud-piercing arrow!] [Comment: One scene for one cloud-piercing arrow!] [Waiter Not Mistress sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] The special effects flew all over the place in the livestream in an attempt to beg for more scenes of the cat-eared ladies. At the construction site, when the workers saw Lin Tian, they greeted him one after another. ¡°Hello, Lord.¡± ¡°Diana, come over here for a moment.¡± Lin Tian called out to a few people. These few people were all appointed by him and had been in charge of supervising the workers in different areas. Diana had the most authority because she was more responsible. Usually, she and the clerk would calculate everyones¡¯ wages and would give them to Lin Tian so that he could distribute them. Otherwise, an hour was not enough to settle their wages. ¡°Lord!¡± A few people walked over. Lin Tian said, ¡°The few of you, ask around and find people who know how to do accounting. Then, gather all the literate people over.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Diana led the few supervisors to inquire. Lin Tian brought the two cat-eared ladies and began to patrol the construction site. He came here every day, and as a result, these workers did not dare to slack off and were very serious with their work. The people in the livestream also enjoyed the update regarding the progress of the city building every day. Now, the city wall had been built. Using half of his workers, Lin Tian planned to add another two to three meters at the top. There were also many scaffoldings at the bottom of the city wall. These scaffoldings were bought by Lin Tian from Moujing. For the people in this world, this was their first time seeing a scaffolding, and they were all amazed by its existence. Now, in Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, everyone greatly admired Lin Tian. This was because Lin Tian was a respected mage, and he could always provide many new and useful things. Moreover, every item was something they had never seen or heard of. For example, brightly colored toys. The children at home especially liked them, as well as biscuits, chicken drumsticks, and so on. They were all delicacies, and there were also some daily necessities. Of course, what they did not know was that there were many more good items that had yet to be brought out by Lin Tian. This was because there were too few people in the territory, and they were too poor, so they did not have much purchasing power. In short, Lin Tian¡¯s prestige in the territory was getting higher and higher. Lin Tian realized that the reputation used for the lottery was a comprehensive one. It included both the reputation brought by the popularity of the livestream and his reputation in the territory. Moreover, his reputation in the territory had a higher weightage. The reputation needed for the lottery draw continued to increase. However, Lin Tian had won another lottery draw a few days ago, and the rewards were very good. This time, he drew an intermediate archery skill, but there was only one reward. Lin Tian¡¯s archery skill had finally been upgraded from beginner to Intermediate. [Ah, cat-eared lady, you¡¯re finally here!] [Crazily touching the screen!] [Cutie Cat-eared Lady sent a Ferrari to the streamer!] [Comment: A promise is a promise!] [Idiosyncratic Pig sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [Comment: A promise is a promise!] [Waiter Not Mistress sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] Due to the cat-eared ladies¡¯ appearance on the screen, there was another wave of rewards in the livestream. The existence of the two cat-eared ladies directly increased the number of viewers in Lin Tian¡¯s livestream to 500,000! Some viewers who had only occasionally given gifts in the past also popped up one after another. Many people had made the promise of one scene for one gift and these viewers also kept their word, rewarding as they said they would. Lin Tian did not pay much attention to the livestream. After making his rounds, Diana and the others came over with a few people. There were three people who knew how to count, and there were more than 40 people who knew how to read. Lin Tian announced a decree in public, giving these literate people an additional copper coin per day. The temptation for money was the strongest. He hoped for everyone in his tribe to be knowledgeable so that he could have more talents. Without a doubt, the moment this decree was announced, it attracted everyone¡¯s attention. For an ordinary person to receive an additional copper coin per day on top of their usual seven copper coins, it was a wonderful thing.. Chapter 27 - Omnipotent Streamer Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian also asked these literate people to be in charge of building a school. He was going to build a school in the newly built city to teach simple literacy and arithmetic. Both adults and children could learn. These literate people had just been given a raise in salary. They were very proud of their literacy skills and were eager to handle the responsibility of building the school. [Streamer 666!] [A civilized teacher from another world!] Lin Tian then increased the salaries of the three people who knew how to manage accounts. Among these people, only one was from Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. After Lin Tian¡¯s promise, the people from the other two tribes were convinced and decided to move over in the next two days. That was right, Lin Tian promised housing, a high salary, and tax exemption. These conditions were very generous which showed that he valued talents. People who were not of any use in other places could come to his tribe, which would possibly allow him to obtain more talents. These three peoples¡¯ job was to calculate the wages of each worker every day. Lin Tian had planned to pay wages once a week because it was too troublesome to pay wages every day. He arranged for Tauren John and some people to increase the height of the wall. Then, he found a few craftsmen and took out the blueprints for the castle construction. [Streamer, let me see the blueprints. I¡¯m an architect. Maybe I can help!] [+1, me too!] Many enthusiastic viewers immediately appeared in the livestream. The automatic recording system very tactfully gave a shot of the blueprints in Lin Tian¡¯s hand. The blueprints in Lin Tian¡¯s hand were drawn by himself. During the first lottery draw, he drew a master-level construction skill. Therefore, designing a new city was not a problem for him. In the livestream, the viewers found Lin Tian¡¯s blueprint straightforward and easy to understand, even for those who had never studied architecture before. [The streamer¡¯s blueprint is very good!] [Wow, even a dumb*ss like me can understand it!] [The layout is really good!] [An architecture professor commented: This streamer is awesome! This drawing is very professional, the layout is clear, and the scale is reasonable. Moreover, the streamer used the simplest drawing method. This way, it is easy to construct, and it makes it easier for the workers to understand. From my point of view, the final castle that the streamer plans to build has a lot of light and space. It¡¯s perfect!] [Another master of architecture agreed: It is indeed very professional. I just did some calculations and the mechanical structure of the castle the streamer has designed is perfect. Such a design usually required several people to put together but the streamer was able to do it alone!] Their comments were seen by the viewers. [Wow, how is the streamer is so amazing? He seems to know everything!] [Maybe it was drawn by the team behind the scenes.] [Come on, don¡¯t be jealous. After so many days, do you think still think that the streamer is acting? There are so many people, try doing the math and see how much it costs!] [That¡¯s right, there are more than one thousand people at the construction site, and there are so many people in the town. Not to mention the cat-eared ladies and the tauren. If the streamer is acting, do you think it¡¯s worth it?] The daily quarrels began in the livestream, but most of the viewers were still paying attention to Lin Tian¡¯s blueprints. They were very interested in the castle that Lin Tian was going to build. On the construction site, Lin Tian was explaining the blueprints to the craftsmen. For the construction of the castle this time, the main material below five meters would be stone, and the outside would be painted white. Above five meters would be red brick, so that the structure could be easily stabilized. In addition, he was going to buy some steel bars and reinforce them with reinforced concrete where necessary, but these regions would be relatively rare. He still had some money in his account, and he would be able to withdraw it in a few days. This time, the sum was even larger than the last. Now, his daily reward was hundreds of thousands, and occasionally, it could even exceed one million. In other words, this time, he could withdraw tens of millions of yuan. With so much money, it was enough for Lin Tian to build a castle and buy food to tide over the famine. Listening to Lin Tian¡¯s explanation, the viewers in the livestream had a rough understanding of the castle that he was going to build. [Awesome, not only did I understand it visually, I understood it auditorily too!] [I feel like I can build a castle soon!] [Wake up, stop dreaming!] [The blueprints are definitely from the streamer. Otherwise, his explanation wouldn¡¯t be this detailed.] After Lin Tian finished explaining, he handed the blueprints to the craftsmen. ¡°Quickly make some measurements and start the construction tomorrow. Build this part first.¡± The craftsmen looked at the part that Lin Tian pointed out and nodded. ¡°Yes, Lord.¡± The few craftsmen left. Under Lin Tian¡¯s promise of a huge sum of money, these few people moved their entire families to Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. Furthermore, they brought along dozens of disciples. After making the arrangements, Lin Tian looked at the time and immediately ended the livestream. Anguished screams filled the livestream. Lin Tian then bought many things that he needed from Moujing. After that, he brought the cat-eared ladies into the small town. In the small town, Daniel, who was appointed by Lin Tian, was already waiting there with more than a hundred people. ¡°Lord, these are the people I have chosen.¡± These people were relatively older. Most of them were 40 years old, but they had very good physiques. Lin Tian planned to recruit them into the army and make them responsible for the security and patrolling. Furthermore, they could also be of some use in battle. After this wave of expansion, the number of soldiers in the army had reached about 200. Lin Tian¡¯s tribe started building the city. There were more than 1,500 people on the construction site. 300 people raised the walls, 700 people built the castle, 100 people dug roads, and 400 people built houses. This new city was centered around Lin Tian¡¯s castle, which was his residence. Coming out of the castle, there was a wide street. On both sides of the street, there were large amounts of green plants that led to a large square. There were many buildings around the square, including the city hall, the library, and the school. Lin Tian planned to use the other buildings for trade. However, he did not build churches or anything like that. The remaining areas included the living areas of the residents of the territory, the warehouses, and the military camps. Because of the sufficient manpower and materials, the new city had taken shape in just a dozen days. During these days, Lin Tian had been livestreaming for more than an hour every day. The viewers in the livestream room were very happy to see Lin Tian¡¯s tribe develop bit by bit, becoming a complete city. Occasionally, Lin Tian would have his camera follow Tauren John and let him perform for a day, gaining a lot of popularity. John would probably never know that in another world, he was equivalent to a small internet celebrity. There were even many viewers who started using various stickers of him. That day, Mary walked around outside Lin Tian¡¯s tribe and said to Lin Tian, ¡°Master, there are people wandering outside the tribe.¡± Lin Tian said, ¡°Are they horse bandits?¡± Mary said, ¡°Maybe. But master, when I was in the Beastmen Kingdom, I once heard some rumors..¡± Chapter 28 - The Fox-Eared Lady’s Request for Help Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian asked, ¡°What rumors?¡± Mary replied, ¡°It¡¯s said that when there¡¯s a shortage of food, you human nobles will dress up as horse bandits and go around snatching the food.¡± ¡°Nobles¡­¡± Lin Tian was actually not surprised. ¡°Lord! Oh no, a lot of people did not turn up today!¡± shouted a clerk as he ran over. Lin Tian asked, ¡°What happened?¡± The clerk said, ¡°There is a rumor that the plague of locusts is coming from the Beastmen Kingdom, so they all went back to collect food.¡± ¡°The locust plague news has already spread? Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± When Lin Tian brought the two cat-eared ladies to the construction site, he found that the number of people had decreased by several hundred. The majority of the people who were still working were the residents of Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. Although his tribe had around 2,000 people, excluding the older and younger ones, the labor force was only around 700 people. ¡°Lord, the locust plague is about to arrive. They¡¯re all very worried that once the locust plague arrives, they won¡¯t have enough food to survive the winter. Thus, all of them went to snatch food.¡± Another clerk walked over and reported the wishes of the tribesmen. Diana said, ¡°The food hasn¡¯t matured yet, so it won¡¯t be of much use even if we harvest it. Instead, as long as we work here, the Lord will be responsible for our food supply. What¡¯s there to worry about?¡± The clerk said, ¡°Yes, but they are worried that when the plague of locusts arrives, even the Lord won¡¯t have enough food. After all, winter is too long.¡± Many residents gradually gathered around. Lin Tian said, ¡°Call everyone over.¡± ¡°Yes, Lord.¡± The clerk went to call for people. Soon, everyone came over. Lin Tian looked at them and said, ¡°My food is indeed limited, but as long as you continue to work, I can guarantee your survival through this winter. ¡°All my people will not starve to death!¡± Diana immediately said, ¡°I believe in our Lord!¡± ¡°I also believe in our Lord!¡± said one of the literate people. Soon, more people expressed their views. When they thought of the series of changes that happened in the tribe after Lin Tian became the Lord, as well as the rare items that Lin Tian usually brought out, their confidence increased. Lin Tian said, ¡°The grains aren¡¯t ripe yet, so there¡¯s not much use in harvesting it. The most important thing now is to build a new city. When the horse bandits arrive, we can rely on the city to fight them!¡± ¡°Yes, Lord!¡± Diana was the first to respond. The other residents also agreed. Thus, Lin Tian¡¯s tribe survived this small storm. Actually, if they were to harvest the grains in advance, they would be able to obtain half of the output. However, what Lin Tian valued the most was the construction of the city, so he could only give up on the grains. Otherwise, it would take at least ten days to harvest the grains. During this period of time, the construction of the city would be greatly delayed. Lin Tian sent the clerk to the other tribes to persuade those who were going to snatch food. The next day, the clerk came to report that most of the people had no choice because the nobles in their tribes demanded that they must collect grains, otherwise they would be driven out, or even confiscate the grains they had previously collected. Under this policy, most people were unwilling to return. In this world, the land belonged to the nobles. Basically, all the nobles would hand over a portion of the land to their own people under a contract and would collect taxes from them. In other words, if those people did not harvest the grains, the nobles would suffer heavy losses. That was why they issued such a policy. Moreover, this world had experienced many locust plagues. Once the locust plagues started, no one would be spared. Those people were not residents of Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, so they did not have much trust in him. Therefore, rushing the harvest was the most important thing to them. Lin Tian looked at the construction site that had a huge decrease in workers and thought of a solution. Suddenly, Mary said, ¡°Master, Wendy is here!¡± Fox-eared lady? Lin Tian¡¯s heart skipped a beat. When they returned to the castle, Wendy was already waiting there. Although she could easily sneak into the castle, she had a favor to ask this time, so she waited outside obediently. Lin Tian approached her and realized that she looked very tired. Mary asked, ¡°Wendy, what happened?¡± Wendy looked at Mary, then at Lin Tian, and bowed to Lin Tian. ¡°Lord Lin Tian, I came here this time to ask for your help.¡± Lin Tian let her in first, and then the three of them entered the hall together. After listening to Wendy¡¯s story, Mary said in surprise, ¡°Your tribe¡¯s food was stolen by the kobolds?¡± Wendy looked distressed. ¡°Yes. The kobolds are too annoying. The first time they attacked, I killed a lot of them, and then they ran away. However, during their second attack, they created a diversion and lured me out first. The other kobolds took the food.¡± Lin Tian listened to Wendy¡¯s story in silence. In fact, the story was very simple. Seven days ago, the fox-eared lady returned to her tribe. Her tribe was very small, with only 1,000 foxes. The fox tribe was one of the more hardworking tribes. It was different from the beastmen who only knew how to feed on the produce of the forest and to plunder other tribes from time to time. They were willing to farm and raise animals. When Wendy returned, the fox tribe had already begun to harvest food, but a kobold tribe had their eyes on her tribe. The kobold tribe had over 3,000 kobolds, and they were very strong. At first, they wanted to plunder the grains, but the foxmen relied on their stronghold, and with Wendy¡¯s strength, they defended their stronghold and repelled the kobolds. Though later, the kobolds first lured Wendy away, then rushed into Wendy¡¯s tribe and stole all the grains. Without food, Wendy¡¯s tribe would not be able to survive the winter. That was why Wendy came to ask for help from Lin Tian. Lin Tian was the only person she could ask for help from. Although her and Mary¡¯s teacher had a high status in the imperial city, her teacher would not help her tribe, much less the king of the Beastmen Kingdom. Once the plague of locusts occurred, food was also a concern for the king of the Beastmen Kingdom. After all, the plague of locusts was closely followed by winter. At this time, who would have the time to care about a small tribe of 1,000 people? Wendy explained everything and said solemnly, ¡°Lord Lin Tian, as long as you are willing to help us, Wendy is willing to be like Jenny and serve you for life in the future.¡± This was the only bargaining chip Wendy could think of. She was different from Mary and Jenny. The cat-eared lady and the rest did not have any relatives. The tribe did not protect Jenny when they retreated, so the two of them did not care about their tribe at all. However, Mary¡¯s parents and relatives were all in the tribe, so she could not let go of her tribe. Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, ¡°I can help you, but on one condition..¡± Chapter 29 - To Swear an Oath Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wendy immediately looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian said, ¡°Let your tribe move into my tribe. I will arrange a place for you to live, but you need to work for me. I will pay you wages and be responsible for your food supply. As for the foxmen who do not have the ability to work, their food will be deducted from your tribe¡¯s total wages.¡± This plan was the most suitable one at the moment. His tribe was currently lacking manpower, and they would not be able to gather any refugees within a short period of time. Beastmen could be considered, but they needed reliable beastmen. Greedy and cunning beastmen like the kobolds or goblins were not suitable. Wendy¡¯s tribe was a very suitable choice. They were more hardworking, and Wendy had a high position in the tribe, so she had huge control over it. In the past few days, Lin Tian had learned more about the situation of Wendy¡¯s tribe through Mary. The foxes were not as big as the taurens, but their physical strength was not inferior to that of humans. Moreover, the foxes¡¯ archery skills were generally pretty good. Their self-made bows and arrows had good fighting strength. Lin Tian happened to be lacking archers. With more than a thousand foxes, they would definitely be able to form a small team of a hundred people. Among the rest of the foxes, at least 400 people would be able to participate in labor. Before the outbreak of the great famine, Lin Tian needed more combat power and more manpower to build the city. Lin Tian planned to open up a separate area for the fox tribe. Compared to giving out food, this plan was much more beneficial to Lin Tian. He preferred to exchange for equal value rather than giving out donations. Wendy¡¯s eyes lit up. Lin Tian¡¯s plan was indeed very suitable! However, she also had some misgivings. In the past, no beastmen tribe had ever worked for a human noble tribe. Lin Tian naturally knew her misgivings and calmed her down. ¡°In my tribe, as long as the beastmen follow the rules, humans are not allowed to bully the beastmen.¡± Mary echoed, ¡°Master¡¯s plan is very good. Wendy, master has a lot of prestige in the tribe. He is also a respected mage. As long as you can control your tribe and listen to master¡¯s orders, there won¡¯t be any problems.¡± Wendy thought for a moment and agreed. ¡°Lord Lin Tian, thank you. We accept this plan. However, out of our gratitude to you and to make the people in the tribe respect you more, I will willingly serve you!¡± As she spoke, she held a short sword in one hand and put it behind her back, while the other hand was placed across her chest. This posture was how the soldiers of the Beastmen Kingdom swore an official oath! In other words, Wendy officially swore to Lin Tian that she would protect him for life. Mary asked, ¡°Wendy, are you 18 yet?¡± Wendy said, ¡°I just turned 18 a few days ago.¡± Mary acknowledged her response. From their conversation, Lin Tian understood something. Wendy was strong and intelligent. She and Mary were not only excellent warriors in the Beastmen Kingdom, but they had also participated in training since their youth. They were also rare existences among the beastmen who could read. Letting such an excellent Wendy follow him was a good thing for Lin Tian, who lacked talents. Therefore, Lin Tian gladly accepted Wendy¡¯s oath. Then, Lin Tian learned from Mary that beastmen warriors had to be 18 years old to officially swear an oath. In other words, although they had been fighting for the king of the beastmen, they had never taken the oath. The battles in the past were just missions for them. They had been selected since young and had started training then. They were only about ten years old when they first killed someone. After that, they spent every year killing. Training, fighting, and killing were their past lives. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian took out a compressed biscuit and showed Wendy how to eat it. Sje could eat it directly, dip it in hot water, or boil it. ¡°One small piece is enough each time. However, you have a larger number of people, so each of you can share a small piece.¡± Wendy listened seriously. After Lin Tian finished demonstrating, he picked up a backpack. This backpack contained many compressed biscuits. All of the food stores of Wendy¡¯s tribe had been robbed by the kobolds, but some foxmen still had a small amount of food hidden in their homes. Later on, they also harvested some immature grains, so they could last for a few more days. From the fox tribe to Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, Wendy would need about six days to travel back and forth. When she returned, her tribe might not have much food left. Moreover, the migration of the tribe would not be as fast as Wendy. It might take almost ten days. Lin Tian was worried about them not having enough food, so he asked Wendy to bring a backpack full of compressed biscuits back. The compressed biscuits were very suitable for the current situation. A backpack full of compressed biscuits could at least guarantee that the thousand over foxmen could have one bite each. Moreover, a bite of compressed biscuits was enough to sustain them for a period of time. Wendy was very grateful. ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Lin Tian said, ¡°You should eat something first. Rest for a while before you set off.¡± Wendy refused. ¡°Master, I want to go back as soon as possible.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s tone became firm. ¡°This is an order. You must rest first.¡± Wendy compromised. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Under Lin Tian¡¯s firm request, Wendy went to rest. Lin Tian took out the blueprints of the new city and began to think about how he should settle the foxmen in. He was prepared to use tents to let them settle down first. Each family would have a tent, and there would be about a few hundred tents. Thinking of this, he went out and called over a dozen people. He asked them to flatten the empty land between the current castle and the small town and build two rows of toilets within the next few days. He planned to temporarily place the foxmen near the castle so that he could observe them as he wished. A few hours later, the night gradually turned dark and Wendy woke up from her sleep. Having had sufficient rest, she was full of energy. With Lin Tian¡¯s help, she carried her backpack. In Lin Tian¡¯s original world, she looked like a student, full of youth and vitality. Though here, the burden on her shoulders was much greater than the students. Wendy said goodbye to him. ¡°Master, I¡¯m leaving.¡± Lin Tian nodded. ¡°Alright, have a safe journey.¡± Wendy nodded and left in the darkness of the night. The next day, Lin Tian could finally cash out the rewards from Dowyin. It had been more than a month since he transmigrated. There were many viewers in the livestream who had been following him from the beginning until now. It was Lin Tian¡¯s first time withdrawing nearly two million yuan. He was relatively frugal, so he was able to survive this month. Of course, another reason was that the wages of the workers could be settled with the gold coins of this world. During this month, most of his money was used to buy cement. With today¡¯s cash withdrawal, he could use it to buy more things. This time, he could withdraw around 15 million yuan. If he had not transmigrated, such an income could already be ranked in the top ten in Dowyin. He also noticed that the Dowyin Operator Li Miaomiao person often gave him cloud-piercing arrows. She probably wanted to contact Lin Tian to discuss the signing of the contract with him.. Chapter 30 - Tricking the Tauren Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Tian did not care about this matter because there was no way he could sign a contract upon transmigration. Not to mention going to the company, he could not even mail his identity card. Therefore, Lin Tian set this matter aside. His popularity and income were not bad now. The other party would not be able to stop his livestream. Moreover, the livestream was bound by the system, it would not be easy for an average person to make a move. After withdrawing the cash, Lin Tian bought a large amount of red bricks, cement, and new weapons. He had a long discussion with the shop owner of the shop where he bought the bows and arrows last time, and finally spent a large sum of money to order 200 more powerful bows and more arrows. These were the bows and arrows he had prepared for the foxmen. He planned to set up a fox archery group. Subsequently, he bought some more crossbows. In his Storage Space, there were already about 20 crossbows loaded with arrows. There was no battle now, so there was no need to occupy more space. He could create the continuous shooting effect by changing one crossbow after another. After all, crossbows required arm strength. The greater the power of the bow, the more arm strength was required. Apart from these, Lin Tian also bought a large number of biscuits, chicken legs, vegetables, and so on. After buying these, he brought the two cat-eared girls to the construction site and began the livestream. The livestream room was lively as soon as it started. [Streamer, why are there so few people!] [Streamer, are you struggling to pay their salaries?] [Everyone, give the streamer a hand!] The livestream room immediately burst into a frenzy of reward-giving. Lin Tian explained, ¡°There¡¯s going to be a locust plague soon, so everyone ran away.¡± [Locust plague? I¡¯ve never seen it before!] [The streamer is going to do something big again!] [It¡¯s time for the foodies to show their power!] [Fried locusts wrapped in breadcrumbs would make the kids next door cry from hunger!] Lin Tian no longer paid attention to the livestream and walked toward Tauren John. At this time, John was carrying a huge rock toward the city wall. [Brother John, 666!] [Spirited little tauren!] John placed the huge stone on the city wall and walked down the ladder. ¡°Hello, Master!¡± When John saw Lin Tian, he immediately greeted him respectfully. Ever since he came to Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, he had been able to eat his fill every day and was very happy. Moreover, this little work on the construction site was very easy for him. Lin Tian asked, ¡°John, which tribe did you live in in the past?¡± John smiled foolishly. ¡°I used to live in the Barbarian Stone Tribe. The tribe is full of taurens, but everyone was always hungry. One day, I went out hunting and was set up by the goblins. They sold me to slave traders, and after that, master bought me.¡± ¡°How many people are there in your tribe?¡± ¡°Master, there are more than 80 people in my tribe.¡± Lin Tian thought for a moment and asked, ¡°Do you know that the plague of locusts is coming?¡± ¡°Yes, master. I don¡¯t know if the people in the tribe will be able to endure it.¡± Lin Tian said, ¡°Yes, a lot of them might die.¡± The tauren¡¯s eyes immediately turned red. [The streamer sure knows how to set a trap!] [Brother Tauren, you have to endure it!] Lin Tian said, ¡°I want to help them, but they are too far away from me¡­¡± Without waiting for Lin Tian to finish, Tauren John fell to his knees. [Brother Tauren, you are too easy!] [Streamer 666!] John pleaded, ¡°Master, if you are willing to take in the people from my tribe, I can go back and persuade them, have them come over to work and fight for you. As long as they are fed every day, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t pay them!¡± [How touching!] [He¡¯s too miserable!] [What a minimal request!] Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, ¡°I promise you, but you have to hurry up, or the locusts will come over soon.¡± John nodded and said, ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. I can bring them over in five days.¡± Lin Tian threw him a backpack. ¡°Take it. There¡¯re food and water in it, enough for you to eat on the way. You should leave now.¡± [Hahaha, the backpack has already been prepared!] [The streamer is tricking the tauren!] John was so touched that his eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Thank you, Master. I will definitely bring them back!¡± He took the backpack and set off. The backpack contained at least two to three hundred kilograms of food and water. With his strength, he could carry the food with ease. After the tauren left, Lin Tian ended the livestream for the day. After ending the livestream, he first went to inspect the progress of the city building and gave guidance to a few craftsmen and their disciples. After more than half a month, these craftsmen had a well understanding of the characteristics of cement. Lin Tian bought them some small tools to help with the construction. For example, they could skillfully use the leveler, meter-long ink line, and the like. When they first saw these small tools, they were all very surprised. It could even be said that after they moved to Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, other than the good treatment, they also had these novel tools. The craftsmen were all very smart. Under Lin Tian¡¯s guidance, they improved rapidly. However, because of the sharp decrease in workers, the speed of the city construction became much slower. In the following days, Lin Tian continued to patrol the territory every day to check on the progress of the construction. The number of people in the livestream also increased. Many viewers were attracted the moment they entered and hence would watch the livestream every day. Currently, the number of viewers in Lin Tian¡¯s livestream was maintained at around 700,000. The numbers easily reached 500,000 even ten minutes before the livestream. Such a popularity was very shocking. Three days later, the weapons that Lin Tian bought finally arrived. Apart from the foxmen, he also bought weapons for the taurens. There were very few weapons suitable for the taurens on Moujing, and neither swords nor knives were suitable. Coincidentally, he saw a custom-made two-sided ax. The two-sided ax was about 50 centimeters in length. It was not long, but it looked very domineering. One was about 5,000 yuan, which was relatively expensive, and it had not been sharpened yet. Lin Tian bought 50 in one go. He intended to wait for the taurens to arrive, and then customize some based on their size. Apart from these, Lin Tian also bought some very thick and large shields that were very suitable for the taurens. When the time for a battle came, the taurens could hold a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. They had both strength and agility. On the other side, John had already returned to the village where his tribe was located. The village was made of stone with some wood, and it looked especially tall. When John returned to the tribe, he was surrounded by many taurens. ¡°John, you¡¯re finally back!¡± ¡°Where did you go?¡± ¡°Why did you disappear for a month?¡± At this time, a female tauren ran over with tears in her eyes. ¡°Oh, baby!¡± John¡¯s tears fell. ¡°Mom!¡± When the taurens¡¯ emotions gradually calmed down, John stood up and said, ¡°I have something to tell everyone.¡± He opened his backpack and took out a lot of chicken drumsticks and gave them to the taurens. ¡°One for each of you, help yourself!¡± The taurens took the drumsticks and drooled at the aroma. One of the taurens asked, ¡°John, what kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?¡± Chapter 31 - The Temptation of Chicken Drumsticks Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Another tauren asked, ¡°John, how did you get this food? Did you do something bad?¡± Although the taurens had a large appetite, they had their limits. During the great famine, goblins and kobolds would resort to eating beastmen, but the taurens would not. Neither of them had ever seen a drumstick because many tribes in the Beastmen Kingdom did not raise chickens. John replied, ¡°Chicken drumstick! I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I¡¯ll explain everything to you later.¡± ¡°Chicken drumstick? Is it one of those animals that the royal family raises? Let me have a taste!¡± As the tauren spoke, he stuffed the chicken drumstick into his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened, and in the next second, he swallowed the chicken drumstick whole. ¡°It¡¯s so fragrant, John. Is there any more?¡± John gave another tauren a drumstick while saying, ¡°No, one for each person.¡± The other taurens ate the drumstick as well, and all of them were affected by the fragrance. A young tauren ate it and wanted more. ¡°Uncle John, I want more.¡± John gave him another drumstick, and the other taurens looked very envious. ¡°John, where did you get this? Did you go to the imperial city?¡± ¡°The Beast King doesn¡¯t have time to care about us now.¡± ¡°Alright, quiet down. Listen to John.¡± Amidst the clamor, the tribal chief, who was also John¡¯s uncle, spoke up. There were not many taurens in the tribe so every tauren was related to each other. John said, ¡°Are you guys aware that the locusts are coming soon?¡± ¡°Yes, everyone is thinking of a way.¡± ¡°There is no good solution. At least half of us will starve to death.¡± ¡°There are also the goblins. They are too cunning. They might already be eyeing on us.¡± At the mention of the locust plague, the taurens were all very distressed. John suddenly took out another drumstick and raised it high. The taurens instantly stared at the drumstick and swallowed their saliva. John said, ¡°I met a very good master. During this period of time, I can eat one hundred of these drumsticks every day.¡± ¡°Wow!¡± Hearing his words, the other taurens exclaimed. John said, ¡°My master¡¯s tribe is short of workers. As long as you help him carry stones and chase the enemies away, you can also eat one hundred drumsticks every day.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°John, who is your master? Are you a slave now?¡± ¡°John, I want to go! I want to go!¡± The taurens were all very excited! They only needed to move stones and beat up enemies in exchange for one hundred drumsticks. It was a great deal for them! However, this effect was precisely because the person who came was John. John was also a tauren and he would not lie to the others. The taurens trusted him. If it were Lin Tian, they might not have believed him so easily. Many of the taurens were tempted. Compared to starving to death in the plague of locusts, it was undoubtedly a good thing to work in exchange for delicious drumsticks. They did not even dare to dream of such a good thing. However, some of the taurens still had some misgivings. Therefore, John told them about what he had experienced during this period of time. After hearing that he had been captured by the goblins, the taurens were very angry. Hearing that he had been sold to Lin Tian, and that Lin Tian had let him eat his fill, the taurens began to swallow their saliva. As they learned that he only needed to move stones every day to eat and sleep to his content, the tauren were all tempted. Three hours after John returned to the tribe, all the taurens packed up their belongings and prepared to set off! Of course, they were able to move so quickly, not only because they had fewer people, but also because they did not have any possessions. At the same time, the fox-eared lady, Wendy¡¯s tribe had also set off. Unlike the taurens, Wendy¡¯s tribe had no other choices. If they did not want to starve to death, going to Lin Tian¡¯s tribe was their only choice! The next day, in the town square, more than 50 people stood tall and straight as they listened to Lin Tian¡¯s lecture. ¡°There was a saying in the past, ¡®one inch long means one inch strong.¡¯ This is the advantage of a spear.¡± Every few days, Lin Tian would call his troops over to give them a lecture. He found this necessary because it would strengthen his control over the army and establish his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. Coincidentally, the tauren and fox tribe had not arrived yet, so Lin Tian had enough time. To the right of these people, there was a long spear. They were the long spear team that Lin Tian had formed. To deal with the fast horse bandits, a long spear was necessary. Apart from a long spear, each person also had a light shield and a dagger. After his recent withdrawal, Lin Tian now had enough money and began perfecting all the soldiers¡¯ weapons. Military power was an important guarantee for development. The spearhead they used was made of patterned steel, and the body of the spear was made of rosewood. Under Lin Tian¡¯s request, the shop extended the length of the spear to two meters. This kind of spear was very sharp. Although it was made of wood, it could not be easily broken. Each spear cost about a thousand yuan. After Lin Tian finished explaining the key to using the spear, he let the fifty spearmen start training. Then, he looked at the dozens of other soldiers who were holding swords and shields. They were the authentic sword-shield soldiers. These dozens of soldiers were the first batch of soldiers. After more than a month of training, their physical strength had greatly increased. Moreover, they practiced sword and shield techniques every day and were already very familiar with them. The threshold to be a spearman was relatively low, and the method of using the spear was relatively simple. As long as a large number of spearmen stood in a row and formed a forest of spears, pushing forward, they would already form a very strong offensive power. In Lin Tian¡¯s previous world, the forest of spears was the core of the ancient Macedonian phalanx in the west. Of course, the spear soldiers also had a weakness. They were afraid of archers, so Lin Tian gave them a light shield. Compared to the spear soldiers, the sword-shield soldiers needed to practice more combat techniques. Lin Tian looked at the soldiers in front of him. ¡°From now on, you will need to undergo another training, which is combat.¡± Hearing Lin Tian¡¯s words, all the soldiers became even more serious. Lin Tian took out a few wooden swords and pointed at a few of the soldiers. He said, ¡°The five of you, step forward.¡± [The streamer is going to take on five people alone?] [The streamer knows magic and archery. Yet, he even knows combat?] [The streamer is awesome!] ¡°Attack me together.¡± Lin Tian handed the wooden swords to the soldiers. [Wow!] [The streamer is awesome!] [I look forward to the streamer¡¯s duel!] The five soldiers looked at each other, and the last soldier stood out. ¡°Lord, sorry to offend you.¡± He picked up the wooden sword and attacked Lin Tian. Lin Tian dodged to the side and avoided his attack. Then, he tapped the swords in his hands and knocked that soldier over. The other soldiers also attacked at the same time, but Lin Tian moved around and went to the side of one of the soldiers. He blocked the soldier¡¯s attack with the swords and then used his shield to knock that soldier down. After taking down two soldiers, Lin Tian continued to attack the third soldier. The three soldiers attacked Lin Tian in unison but his reaction speed was very fast. He used his shield to block and then dodged. At the same time, the wooden sword in his hand struck a soldier and knocked him down. Lin Tian dodged to the side of the other two soldiers and struck the soldier down again.. Chapter 32 - One Against Five Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The last soldier took the opportunity to stab Lin Tian. As if Lin Tian could see the situation behind him, he easily dodged it. At the same time, his sword connected with the waist of the soldier. Within a few minutes, Lin Tian had defeated all five soldiers. Lin Tian incorporated his combat techniques into the sword and shield, which made him very powerful on the battlefield. All the soldiers were shocked by Lin Tian¡¯s skills. He was obviously a noble mage, but he could easily defeat five people with a sword. In the eyes of these soldiers, Lin Tian was omnipotent. Even cat-eared Mary¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw him. She really did not expect Lin Tian¡¯s skills to be so powerful. Lin Tian threw away the wooden sword and said, ¡°Combat can improve your reaction speed and flexibility in battle. From now on, everyone will spend two hours every day practicing, combining the usage of the sword and shield together!¡± ¡°Yes, Lord!¡± answered all the soldiers in unison. [He is blinding me!] [The streamer is actually a melee mage!] [The same action looks so much cooler when the streamer performs it!] [White Rabbit gave the streamer a Ferrari!] [Witch Bento gave the streamer a Ferrari!] The livestream was in a frenzy of rewards. In the town square, the soldiers had already started training. Lin Tian gave them a lot of wooden swords. It was more suitable to use wooden swords at the beginning of the training. After getting used to it, only then would they use actual swords. Even though the soldiers would easily get injured if they used actual swords, but this would also make the soldiers more serious. After this training, Lin Tian¡¯s goal of establishing prestige had indeed been achieved. He became a symbol of strength in the hearts of every soldier. Everyone respected Lin Tian from the bottom of their hearts. [Streamer, I want to see more!] [One more round!] [Streamer, aren¡¯t the cat-eared ladies also very powerful? Have a fight with them!] Lin Tian looked at the time and mercilessly ended the livestream. Although the people in the livestream had long been accustomed to Lin Tian¡¯s ruthlessness, they still could not help but complain that they had not seen enough. In the afternoon, Diana handed three ledgers to Lin Tian. ¡°Lord, these are all the expenses of the territory.¡± These ledgers were written by the few people recruited by Lin Tian who knew how to settle accounts. Under Lin Tian¡¯s guidance, they could barely be considered accountants. As of now, Lin Tian only had to personally check the ledgers. After all, he had gained many more useful people. Lin Tian returned to the castle and began to carefully check the ledgers. In the hall, Mary was in a daze while Jenny stood beside Lin Tian, waiting for his instructions. This was how they usually got along. Mary was silent most of the time, while Jenny remembered the rules of being a maid. Lin Tian said, ¡°Jenny, sit down.¡± Jenny said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, master. I¡¯ll stand.¡± She looked at the ledger in Lin Tian¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Master, is this a ledger?¡± Lin Tian said, ¡°Yes. Can you read?¡± Jenny nodded. ¡°My sister taught me.¡± Lin Tian handed her a ledger. ¡°Sit down. Can you understand it?¡± Jenny took the ledger and sat on the sofa next to Lin Tian, focusing on it. When the cat-eared lady focused on something, her furry ears would perk up slightly, which made her look exceptionally cute. Mary said, ¡°Master, let me help you check them.¡± Lin Tian naturally agreed and handed Mary a ledger. Mary took it and looked at it carefully. Soon, Mary found a problem. ¡°There¡¯s a mistake here.¡± Lin Tian handed her a pencil. ¡°If you find a mistake, mark it.¡± Mary took the pencil and looked at it curiously. However, she was already used to Lin Tian taking out some new things from time to time. She took the pencil and began to mark the mistakes in the ledger. She was very fast and soon finished reading the ledger. Lin Tian then handed another ledger to her. Mary whispered, ¡°Master, you¡¯re exploiting me.¡± Lin Tian smiled and said nothing. Mary took the ledger and continued to check it. Lin Tian read it with her while Jenny looked at her. Half an hour later, Mary finished marking all the mistakes in the ledger. Jenny handed the ledger in her hand to her. Mary pouted. ¡°Jenny!¡± She complained but still took the ledger from Jenny. Lin Tian began to check her markings and found that there were no mistakes in the ledger that Mary had checked. Lin Tian did not expect Mary to not only be strong in combat but also be capable of reading and counting! The next day, Lin Tian walked to the construction site and entered a simple tent. He called for the three accountants. ¡°Lord, they are here.¡± Diana brought the three accountants over. They stood in front of Lin Tian¡¯s table together. Lin Tian took out the three ledgers. ¡°Take a look.¡± When the three of them saw Lin Tian¡¯s actions, their hearts skipped a beat. They picked up their own ledgers and began to look through them. Then, they realized that all the mistakes in the ledgers had been marked out. One of the accounts immediately said, ¡°Lord, I¡¯m sorry. I was careless and didn¡¯t check them properly.¡± Lin Tian looked at him indifferently and did not say anything. When the accountants saw Lin Tian¡¯s expression, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. ¡°I¡¯ll do it again. There won¡¯t be any mistakes this time.¡± Another accountant chimed in, ¡°Lord, I¡¯ll do it again as well.¡± Lin Tian¡¯s gaze swept past him. The accountant felt the pressure hidden under Lin Tian¡¯s calm gaze. His legs instantly turned into jelly. [The streamer¡¯s gaze is lethal!] [Eh, it seems that there are many more people in the livestream!] [The streamer¡¯s 1 versus 5 video should have leaked out yesterday.] A few seconds later, an accountant knelt down and started kowtowing. ¡°Lord, please spare my life. It¡¯s all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have been greedy!¡± [Wow, something fishy is going on!] [Streamer, 666!] Only then did Lin Tian speak. His tone was calm. ¡°Tell me yourself. What did you do?¡± The accountant no longer dared to act dumb. He quickly told him everything he had done. In fact, it was not difficult for him to do it. Due to the overtime pay at Lin Tian¡¯s construction site, everyone had a different pay every day. As most of the people did not have the ability to calculate and keep accounts, most people did not know how much they should be paid every week. The accountant took a copper coin from the wages of dozens of workers and added it to the wages of his relatives, which resulted in each relative having more than ten copper coins. Under normal circumstances, it would be hard to tell. After all, Lin Tian did not keep guard every day. However, the accountant did not expect that a few dozen copper coins a week would be more than a person¡¯s income in a month. In addition, he had also made a few mistakes, which were marked by Mary. Later on, Lin Tian found some suspicious points, but he was uncertain, so he took the opportunity to trick him. [This accountant actually thought of such a good method!] [I¡¯ve learned something new.. If I take a penny from everyone¡¯s account in the world, I¡¯ll become a millionaire!] Chapter 33 - The Taurens Had Arrived Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Lin Tian heard what the accountant said, he said coldly, ¡°You and your relatives are now jobless. Get lost immediately!¡± The accountant cried bitterly, ¡°Lord, please spare me. I won¡¯t do it again!¡± Lin Tian was unmoved. ¡°Men, chase him out.¡± The two soldiers took the accountant away forcefully. After that, the cashier and his relatives were all expelled from the tribe. The plague of locusts was about to arrive. The accountant and his relatives were very regretful and knelt outside the tribe to plead for mercy. However, Lin Tian showed no mercy. When the others saw how ruthless Lin Tian was, they were all filled with fear. In Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, due to Lin Tian¡¯s prestige among the people, most of them were well-behaved. However, there would occasionally be a few bad people, especially when it came to accounting books. It was the easiest to attract people¡¯s greed. Many of the nobles in this world could not understand or were too lazy to look at the accounting books. Thus, many were cheated by their bookkeeper and accountants. After Lin Tian¡¯s punishment, the remaining two accountants immediately became well-behaved. In fact, there was very little room for them to do anything because the money had always been in Lin Tian¡¯s hands. They were only responsible for calculating each person¡¯s salary. The expenses were not big at the moment, around two gold coins a day. However, there had to be some basic rules, otherwise, when the tribe became developed in the future, it would be very easy for things to go wrong. After dealing with the accountants, Lin Tian casually glanced at the livestream and found that the number of viewers in the livestream had actually exceeded one million. During this period of time, the number of viewers in his livestream had been steadily increasing. Under normal circumstances, it would maintain at around 800,000, and this was the first time it had exceeded one million! [Yeah! The streamer is looking at the camera! Let¡¯s have a chat!¡± [The streamer is so handsome! Especially yesterday when he fought five people at once. Awesome!] [Congratulations, streamer! You have more than one million people online. Can we increase the time today?] In the livestream, because Lin Tian looked at the camera, many viewers were very excited. During Lin Tian¡¯s livestream, he usually only worked on his things and rarely looked at the camera to chat with the viewers. As the number of viewers online had exceeded one million, Lin Tian was a little interested and asked, ¡°Why are there so many people today?¡± [Wow, the streamer has spoken!] [Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick gave the streamer a Ferrari!] [Comment: Hubby, say a few more words!] [Streamer, someone on Weibo said that you¡¯ve transmigrated. Is that true?] [I want to know too!] [Oh my God! Who¡¯s that? Cat-eared Lady?] [I¡¯m so jealous!] The livestream was very lively. Many newcomers swarmed in. When they saw the cat-eared lady behind Lin Tian, they were all filled with surprise. The screen was filled with all sorts of questions from the newcomers. Lin Tian finally understood the reason for the sudden increase in the number of people. Yesterday, someone uploaded a video of him taking on five people to various major websites, attracting many newcomers. At the same time, outside Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, John¡¯s tauren tribe was finally about to arrive. ¡°John, how much longer? I¡¯m so hungry!¡± They had a large appetite, to begin with, and they consumed a lot of energy during the journey, so their appetite became even larger. Their food had already been eaten up on the way, and they were already famished. ¡°We¡¯ll be there soon, everyone, come on!¡±John consoled. After a few minutes, they could finally see the new city that Lin Tian was building! John was very happy. ¡°We¡¯re here!¡± The patrolling soldiers in Lin Tian¡¯s tribe noticed this group of taurens and stopped them. With so many taurens, they did not dare to let them in without Lin Tian¡¯s permission. Very quickly, someone reported to Lin Tian, ¡°Lord, there are dozens of taurens outside who want to enter the tribe!¡± Lin Tian¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°The taurens are here?¡± John had indeed brought his tribe with him! Lin Tian stood up and personally went to welcome them. [The tauren is finally back!] [Brother Tauren has lived up to his expectations!] [Secretly asking, what is a tauren?] [There should be a script! Isn¡¯t the streamer acting?] [Acting? The streamer has really transmigrated!] In Lin Tian¡¯s tribe, when the people heard that a group of taurens had arrived, they all ran over to watch. Actually, in the past, humans and beastmen had very minimal interactions. The tauren¡¯s huge body was a terrifying existence. However, this month, Tauren John had been working in Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. He was strong and had a good temper. The residents no longer had any fear of the taurens. There were also some children who often played with John. ¡°Wow, let¡¯s watch the taurens!¡± The children swarmed to the edge of the tribe. Lin Tian brought the two cat-eared ladies in the same direction. There, dozens of taurens were sitting together on the ground to rest. The system immediately showed a shot of the taurens. [Oh my God, so many taurens!] [Brother Tauren really brought back the taurens from his tribe!] [What is this? Tauren?] [They look just like the real thing!] [Comment above, ever thought of them being real instead of them just looking like one?] When Tauren John saw Lin Tian, he immediately shouted, ¡°Master is here. Everyone, stand up!¡± Dozens of taurens stood up in unison. Each of them was more than two meters tall and their bodies were extremely sturdy. This scene was too shocking. Many people in the livestream were shocked. Even the viewers who had watched John for a long time were shocked by this scene. As Lin Tian walked closer, the image became clearer. The viewers could see the bull eyes and horns of the taurens, as well as the rich expressions on their faces. Some of them were sizing up Lin Tian, and some of them were probably seeing so many humans for the first time. Some of them were slightly vigilant, and some looked very tired. Every single tauren had a different expression and action. This was not something that could be easily cosplayed! John introduced Lin Tian to the chief of the tauren tribe, ¡°Uncle, this is my master, Lin Tian. He treats me very well!¡± Lin Tian looked at the chief. Lin Tian was 1.75 meters tall, but in front of the chief who was about 2.5 meters tall, he looked very short. Moreover, in the tauren tribe, there were even taurens who were taller than the chief. Lin Tian said, ¡°Chief, welcome! Men, bring up the greeting gifts!¡± Behind them, many soldiers immediately brought up boxes of items. 200 soldiers and over 100 boxes of items. All the taurens were very curious about the greeting gift that Lin Tian had prepared for them. In the livestream, the viewers began to guess. [My guess is chicken drumstick!] [Chicken drumstick +1!] [The welcome gift is a chicken drumstick. How unique!] Soon, the soldiers opened the boxes. Sure enough, there were chicken drumsticks inside! Apart from chicken drumsticks, there was also hot water. [You guessed it right, hahaha!] [The famous scene will be here soon!] [Start recording!] The taurens began to swallow their saliva one after another, including John. They had been traveling day and night for two whole days. Their food had long been eaten up, and every tauren was very hungry. To be more precise, they had never eaten their fill since they were born.. Chapter 34 - Famous Scene Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Lin Tian saw that no taurens were eating, he said, ¡°You¡¯ve had a tough journey rushing here. Eat as much as you want! Only when you¡¯re full will you have the strength to do anything!¡± ¡°Master is right. We can only do things when we¡¯re full!¡± John was the first to walk toward the drumstick. Seeing John¡¯s actions, some of the younger taurens immediately followed. With a lead, and with Lin Tian already saying that they could eat as much as they wanted, the other taurens immediately walked toward the drumstick and took a big bite. The taurens ate the delicious drumsticks and were all very grateful. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s delicious!¡± ¡°The Lord is such a good person!¡± The viewers in the livestream once again witnessed the taurens¡¯ appetite. Compared to John¡¯s eating livestream, this time it was a group of taurens. Eating five drumsticks in one bite was a small scene! The newcomers in the livestream were all stunned! [A mouthful of ten drumsticks, awesome!] [Their appetite¡­ is really good¡­] [Oh my god, even the king of big eaters will have to admit defeat!] More than ten minutes later, the taurens cleaned up all the drumsticks! After eating, every tauren rubbed their stomachs comfortably, their faces filled with joy. This was the first time since birth that they had eaten their fill! [Watching them eat increases my appetite!] [This livestream is too interesting!] [I can understand the happiness of having a full stomach!] [Foodie Baby sent 10 cloud-piercing arrows to the streamer!] [Eating Is A Blessing sent 1 cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [Huaxin Company Promotion sent 1 cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] In the livestream, special effects flew everywhere. Different from the past, a portion of gifts originated from some businesses. They were probably similar to Dowyin Operator Li Miaomiao, who wanted to sign a contract with Lin Tian. As there was no way to contact Lin Tian, they could only use this method to attract Lin Tian¡¯s attention. The tauren chief gave a satisfied burp. This was also the first time he had eaten his fill. He stood up and said, ¡°Stand up.¡± The other taurens immediately stood up as well. The tauren chief looked at Lin Tian, he said, ¡°Since the Lord has treated us so well, I, Qiao En, will put down my words. From now on, the Lord¡¯s matters will be our Barbarian Stone Tribe¡¯s matters. If any of these children are disobedient, the Lord can beat them up!¡± said the chief as he patted his own chest! [One meal to subdue a tribe!] [The taurens are so honest!] [What honest? They are clearly stupid!] Lin Tian also did not expect a sumptuous meal of chicken drumsticks to satisfy the tauren tribe. He led the dozens of taurens to the place he had prepared. Then, he looked at the time and then at the camera. [The streamer is really good-looking!] [Streamer, smile!] [Streamer, say a few words!] Just as the livestream viewers were excitedly commenting or rewarding, the livestream suddenly turned black! The newcomers were all confused. [Did our enthusiasm scare the streamer?] [The streamer¡¯s phone must have run out of battery. He¡¯ll start livestreaming again in a while.] [Then let¡¯s wait a little longer. I haven¡¯t had enough of the livestream!] None of the old viewers in the livestream reminded the newcomers of what had been happening! Half an hour later, another newcomer asked. [Is the streamer coming or not?] [I don¡¯t think so¡­] The newcomers were stunned. It was rare for them to meet a streamer they liked. He actually went offline without saying anything? They were the viewers! The source of money on livestreams! [You must be dumbfounded!] [The streamer is always so unruly!] [I¡¯m laughing!] [I bet they¡¯re all super confused!] The old viewers chimed in one after another, not to mention how happy they were. Over the past month, they had been complaining for a long time about the length of Lin Tian¡¯s livestream every day. No matter how high his popularity rose, the duration of his livestream would never change. Now that they saw the dumbfounded looks of the newcomers, they instantly felt comfortable. Many people from Lin Tian¡¯s tribe ran out to see the taurens. The young and strong were all at the construction site, and the people outside were mostly old people and children. When they saw Lin Tian recruit so many taurens at once, they could not help but feel a little worried. ¡°The taurens have a huge appetite. Can the Lord afford it?¡± The children, however, did not have such thoughts and simply found them interesting. A few minutes later, the taurens arrived at the tent area that Lin Tian had prepared for them. The first thing Lin Tian instructed them to do was to take a bath. Many beastmens did not like to take baths. The female beastmen were in a better condition, while the male beastmen were very messy. Of course, different beastmen had different habits. For example, the fox-eared lady Wendy and the two cat-eared ladies loved cleanliness. The taurens could only be described as ordinary. They were neither too messy nor clean. Lin Tian had built some bathrooms for them, separating the male and female. He also handed them some custom-made clothes that could be adjusted in size. Because of the clothes and the chicken drumsticks, the taurens felt that Lin Tian treated them very well! All of them were very touched. By the time they finished showering, it was already nighttime. They were very tired after two days of traveling. After showering, they returned to their tents and went to sleep. The next day, Lin Tian counted the number of taurens. There were a total of 90 taurens. There were about 40 of them in their prime. No matter what gender the taurens were, they were tall and strong. They could participate in battles. Lin Tian gave 40 taurens double-sided axes and shields. The rest of the taurens, except for those who were too old to move, were all willing to go to the construction site. This included some young taurens, those that were over ten years old were already very strong. Lin Tian was planning to design a set of armor for them. There was naturally armor on Moujing, but it was expensive, so he did not buy them last month. Now that he had more money on hand, he could purchase some armors for them. Even if the taurens had equipment, their main task now was to work at the construction site. Although half of the people were gone, the walls had been raised in the past few days. Therefore, the taurens¡¯ task now was to transport stones, cement, and so on. They were strong and fast. After the heavy work was handed over to them, the efficiency of the project was greatly increased. In the dense forest, a fox lady suddenly said warily, ¡°Wendy, something¡¯s wrong.¡± Fox ladies were like humans, there were beautiful and ugly ones. The elves were the only race where everyone looked beautiful. However, this fox lady who spoke to Wendy was very cute. Wendy said, ¡°Adele, did you also smell the scent of the kobolds?¡± Adele nodded. ¡°Yes, the kobolds should have discovered our movements.¡± ¡°Go and tell mother, get everyone to speed up.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Adele sneaked toward the main group. Wendy hid in the tree and sniffed the scent in the wind. She looked in a specific direction. She carefully left the tree, took out a kind of powder, and sprayed some on her body. The powder was made from a plant that could hide scents. Kobolds had very sensitive noses.. Chapter 35 - Chasing Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wendy held a short sword and quickly jumped in a certain direction. Soon, she sneaked into another dense forest. As soon as she entered, she immediately went into hiding because she found many kobolds lurking under the trees, staring coldly at the advancing group of foxes. These kobolds looked very fierce. Although their names were related to the word ¡°dog¡±, compared to dogs, they were much more annoying. In the Beastmen Kingdom, kobolds and goblins were the two most annoying races. Kobolds liked to live in caves. They often dug and emptied out half a mountain and lived in it. They were not suitable for farming and ate a variety of food. When they were hungry, they would eat anything. In this locust plague, the kobold tribe had set their eyes on Wendy¡¯s tribe. However, Wendy did not expect that not only did they want to take away the tribe¡¯s food, they also had other plans. A kobold suddenly said, ¡°Logan, there¡¯s something wrong with these foxes. Where are they planning to go?¡± Although their noses were sensitive, they did not notice Wendy because Wendy was good at hiding. When she was hiding, even Mary might not be able to find her. ¡°I don¡¯t know. The plague of locusts is coming soon. If we don¡¯t have enough food, these foxes are a good option. We can¡¯t let them leave. Wade, you keep an eye on them. I¡¯ll inform the patriarch. They don¡¯t have enough food, they won¡¯t be able to run far.¡± The kobold was ready to leave after saying that. She could not let them go back and report the news! Wendy immediately moved. She jumped down from the tree like a swallow and pounced on the kobold. She was very fast. The kobold named Logan was killed by Wendy before he could come back to his senses. After Wendy killed him, she also killed the other kobold beside him. As an assassin who had been trained since young, Wendy¡¯s skills were on par with Mary¡¯s. At this time, the kobolds noticed her and cried out, ¡°Fox!¡± One of the kobolds slashed the weapon in his hand at Wendy. Wendy countered it with her sword and directly cut the kobold¡¯s weapon into two. She used more strength and directly stabbed the kobold¡¯s head. Following that, she pulled out her short sword and slashed at another kobold. She had killed so many kobolds in a few seconds, which made the other kobolds immediately want to escape. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about running!¡± Wendy held her sword and chased after the kobolds. In a few minutes, all the kobolds were killed by her. She stood among the kobolds¡¯ corpses, panting heavily. Suddenly, her expression changed. She saw a small group of kobolds leaving a few hundred meters away. The distance was too far for her to catch up to them. She immediately gave up on the idea of catching up with the kobolds. After she wiped her short sword clean, she quickly left the place. She rushed to the main group of foxmen and told everyone the news of the kobolds chasing after them. All the foxmen immediately quickened their pace and rushed toward Lin Tian¡¯s tribe with all their might. On the other side, on a wooded mountain, many kobolds were digging the ground. However, they were not developing. They were only doing it to dig up all the produces in the forest in one go. ¡°What? The foxmen escaped? Logan is dead?¡± A few hours after Wendy killed the kobolds, the kobold tribe finally received the news. The kobold was furious because Logan was his child. He immediately made a decision. ¡°Everyone stop. We will catch those foxmen immediately!¡± Soon, many kobolds chased after the foxmen. They were faster than the foxmen as they desperately chased after them. In the group of foxes, Wendy kept urging them to speed up. Fortunately, these foxmen had just eaten compressed biscuits. Otherwise, they would be tired and hungry, and would not be able to run fast. At the border of the Beastmen Kingdom and the Human Kingdom, a chase had started. Under Wendy¡¯s urging, the foxmen continued to speed up. Wendy was not at ease. She knew that if this was the maximum speed they could maintain, they would be caught by the kobolds the next day. Just like how the amount of water that could be contained in a wooden bucket depended on the shortest wooden board, the speed of the foxmen depended on the elderly and children, not the young and strong. However, they were all clansmen of the same tribe, and Wendy would not abandon them. The younger foxmen were already supporting and even carrying the elderly. If Wendy was alone, she would only need a few hours to reach Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. However, it would take a day with her clansmen. ¡°Adele, you¡¯re fast. Go and seek help from my master, Lord Lin Tian. I will bring a large group of people with me. We might be caught by the kobolds. The tribesmen don¡¯t have enough stamina to defeat the kobolds. Only by receiving help will we be able to escape.¡± The foxmen were not weak in combat, but the kobolds were much more numerous than the foxmen. In terms of physique, the kobolds were stronger and better at field battles. ¡°Okay!¡± Adele did not decline and immediately ran toward Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. Wendy led the rest of the tribe members toward the southwest. It was already nighttime, but the darkness did not affect the foxmen¡¯s vision. Two hours later, Wendy¡¯s mother, the leader of the foxmen tribe, said, ¡°Wendy, the tribe members don¡¯t have any strength left. Shall we rest for a few minutes?¡± Wendy said, ¡°There¡¯s no way we can rest, mother. Once we stop, everyone¡¯s speed will only slow down. Let¡¯s go quickly, the kobolds are getting closer to us.¡± Wendy¡¯s mother had no choice but to let the clansmen continue moving forward. ¡°I¡¯ll stay behind you, you guys leave first.¡± Wendy stayed behind and stopped on a tree, taking out a piece of chocolate from her pocket. This piece of chocolate was given to her by Lin Tian. She took a small bite, and the sweet and bitter chocolate melted and turned into a strange taste. This taste reminded her of Lin Tian. She thought that Lin Tian was just like this piece of chocolate, very strange. Although she had only met Lin Tian twice and had not communicated much with him, the feeling that Lin Tian gave her made her feel that leaving the life she was used to and moving on to a new life was worth it. She thought that as long as she could survive today, it would be enough. She suddenly looked forward to living by Lin Tian¡¯s side. She closed her eyes and slowly recovered her strength. More than an hour later, a large group of kobolds appeared. They did not gather together but moved forward separately. With their speed, the kobolds would be able to catch up to the foxmen before dawn. However, Wendy would not allow such a thing to happen. She jumped down from the tree and struck out with her dagger. In an instant, several kobolds were killed. The kobolds shouted, ¡°Fox attack!¡± However, Wendy had already left, she jumped from tree to tree, and jumped down again, killing several kobolds. Some kobolds shouted, ¡°Here too!¡± Soon, other kobolds began to shout, ¡°Here too, be careful!¡± Chapter 36 - Emergency Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wendy moved through the forest like a ghost. Although she did not kill many kobolds, she did slow them down. The leader of the kobolds came to check on the situation. ¡°What happened?¡± Wendy took the opportunity to jump down from the tree and stabbed the leader of the kobolds. ¡°I can smell you!¡± The leader of the kobolds was already prepared and threw himself at Wendy. Wendy¡¯s face sank. She forcefully changed her direction in the air and quickly jumped onto a tree to dodge. The powder¡¯s effect on her body was almost ending, and she no longer had that kind of powder in her hands. The kobold tribe leader had a sensitive nose. She had been fighting continuously, and her physical strength had greatly decreased. It was not suitable for her to attack head-on now. Wendy no longer cared about the kobold tribe leader. She attacked the kobold tribe from time to time at an unpredictable frequency to disturb them. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about her anymore. She can¡¯t kill too many of us. Let¡¯s chase after the foxes first!¡± The kobold tribe leader immediately made a decision. He ordered the kobold tribe to continue chasing after the foxes while he chased after Wendy himself. One chased while the other fled. The night passed just like that. After daybreak, Wendy¡¯s physical strength had almost been depleted. She had no choice but to stay away from the kobold tribe. She had successfully stalled the kobolds for a few hours and had killed dozens of kobolds at the same time. Wendy knew that the situation was not good because the foxmen did not have much stamina left. At the same time, Adele finally reached Lin Tian¡¯s tribe after traveling for half the night. That morning, Lin Tian woke up early. After breakfast, he heard a clerk requesting to meet him from outside the castle. When Lin Tian walked out, he heard the clerk say, ¡°Lord, there¡¯s a fox lady outside asking to meet you. She seems to be in a hurry.¡± Lin Tian looked behind the clerk and saw Adele standing there with a weary face. Adele saw Lin Tian and asked anxiously, ¡°May I ask if you are Sir Lin Tian?¡± ¡°Yes, what happened?¡± ¡°The kobolds found out that our tribe are migrating and are chasing after us. Our tribe members are tired and hungry, and their progress is getting slower and slower. Wendy sent me to ask you for help.¡± Lin Tian asked, ¡°How many kobolds are there?¡± ¡°They¡¯re a large group of kobolds, about 800 of them.¡± ¡°How far is your tribe from here?¡± ¡°It took six hours for me. It would probably take the tribe members at least one day.¡± Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, ¡°Alright, we will set off immediately.¡± Adele was very grateful. ¡°Thank you, Lord Lin Tian!¡± ¡°Jenny, you stay in the tribe. Mary, you will come with me.¡± Lin Tian valued the safety of the fox tribe very much. They were related to his plan in expanding his army and workers. Naturally, he could not let them be destroyed by the kobolds. The taurens had just arrived. He could use this battle to test the taurens¡¯ and his troops¡¯ combat strength. 800 kobolds. If Lin Tian only had 200 warriors, he might not be able to defeat them. However, now that he had the taurens, the situation was different. The taurens themselves had very high combat strength. In the past, they did not have any weapons. Now that Lin Tian had provided them with suitable weapons, coupled with the fact that they had eaten and drunk enough, their combat strength would only become stronger. Lin Tian thought of the batch of crossbows that had just arrived. He entered the castle and emptied a portion of Storage Space, storing 50 new crossbows. He planned to load all of these crossbows with arrows on the way and then put them into Storage Space. This way, by constantly changing the crossbows, he could achieve the effect of performing 80 consecutive shots. He also stored 200 bows and a lot of food. When the time came, he would distribute them to the foxmen. As long as each of them could shoot an arrow, they would be able to shoot many kobolds to death. Lin Tian brought Mary to the town and gathered the army to set off. ¡°All the soldiers, follow me to a battle!¡± Coincidentally, the soldiers had not gone out for training in the morning, and the taurens were also there. The number of soldiers that had already expanded to more than 240 quickly gathered. Lin Tian picked 50 strong taurens and gave the remaining taurens a double-sided ax and shield. If anything unexpected happened, the taurens would have no problem guarding the fort. ¡°Mary, can you ride a horse?¡± Mary nodded. ¡°Master, I can.¡± Lin Tian took a horse and handed it to Mary. ¡°You take Adele with you.¡± He already knew Adele¡¯s name. Mary said, ¡°Master, you should take Adele with you. Horses aren¡¯t the most obedient when I ride on them.¡± Lin Tian mounted the horse and said to Adele, ¡°Adele, come on up.¡± Adele reached out her hand and let Lin Tian pull her onto the horse. This horse was seized by Lin Tian from the bandits. He did not know how to ride a horse in the past, but he had obtained advanced equestrian skills and an increase in his physical fitness from the lottery more than ten days ago. Equestrian skills were not profound, so he had won advanced equestrian skills with his first draw. Moreover, his current physical fitness was 2.5 times that of an ordinary person. Lin Tian led more than 200 soldiers and 50 tauren as they set off together. On the side of the foxmen, because of Wendy, the kobold army¡¯s distance to the foxmen had been widened. Wendy had been following the kobold army from afar. Now that she did not have much physical strength left, she did not dare to go up rashly in case something happened. She only hoped that her clansmen could hurry up. She ate the last piece of chocolate and went up to attack the kobolds again. However, as it was daytime, there was not much effect. The kobold chief kept urging the kobold warriors, ¡°Hurry up!¡± The sun gradually rose. When they reached a river, the kobold warriors were all thirsty. They stopped by the river to drink water. Wendy took the opportunity to attack and killed a few more kobold warriors, then quickly left. The kobold chief roared angrily, ¡°When I catch up with the foxmen tribe, I will definitely kill all of you.¡± ¡°Hurry up! Stop drinking! Keep chasing!¡± roared the kobold chief! After the remaining 700 or so kobolds drank some water and ate some food, they continued the chase. A few hours later, they finally saw the silhouette of the foxmen, about ten kilometers away from them. In less than an hour, they would be able to catch up! The kobold tribe leader laughed at Wendy in the distance, ¡°Just you wait! Your tribe will die! No one can save you!¡± Wendy¡¯s expression suddenly changed, ¡°Oh no!¡± The foxmen at the front also saw the kobolds, and they were all terrified. After a continuous journey, they were all exhausted and hungry. Some of the foxmen did not even have the strength to walk, let alone run! ¡°Tribe leader, the kobolds are here!¡±All the foxmen were panicking. The fox tribe leader, who was also Wendy¡¯s mother, asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Wendy?¡± ¡°She¡¯s still behind.¡± ¡°Tribe leader, what should we do?¡± The foxmen were about to fall into despair! In contrast to them, when the kobold warriors saw the foxmen, they were filled with excitement and immediately rushed toward them.. Chapter 37 - Stupid Kobolds Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It would not take long for the kobold warriors to cover a distance of a dozen kilometers. The foxmen were able to repel the kobolds last time because they relied on their own stronghold. They had sufficient food and weapons, and they also had the powerful Wendy. However, now, they were exhausted and famished. They could not fight against the kobolds, and even Wendy did not have much stamina left. They could only rely on their last hope and run as fast as they could toward Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. As they clung to their last hope, they sped up greatly as they used their last bit of strength. Though as time passed, the kobolds kept closing in the distance between them. The fastest kobolds were less than a kilometer away from them! The foxmen could already see the ferocious expressions on the kobolds¡¯ faces! ¡°They¡¯re here!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no hope!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t escape!¡± The fox tribe leader took out her weapons and shouted, ¡°Foxmen warriors, follow me for the final battle!¡± The other foxmen also took out their bows and spears, prepared to fight to the death. However, they discovered that under the erosion of hunger and exhaustion, they could not even draw their bows and arrows! The soldiers¡¯ abrupt stop even made some of them dizzy! ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± The foxmen were in complete despair. At this moment, the ground shook slightly, followed by the neighing of warhorses! A foxman saw something and pointed to the southwest. ¡°Everyone, look!¡± Everyone looked over and saw a large number of tall taurens charging out from a forest in the southwest. Beside the taurens were two galloping warhorses. ¡°It¡¯s Adele!¡± a foxman shouted! ¡°The human in front of her, is he Sir Lin Tian, who is willing to help us?¡± The foxmen all looked at Lin Tian. The golden sunlight shone on Lin Tian¡¯s body, covering him with a layer of holy light. It made him look resolute and brave, like a god who had descended from the sky. The foxmen immediately felt confident! They were saved! Wendy, who had rushed back to the main group before the kobolds, saw Lin Tian and her eyes immediately lit up. Lin Tian¡¯s appearance as he rode his horse was filled with suave charm in Wendy¡¯s eyes! She had never realized that humans could have such a strong charm! There had always been some sort of estrangement between the beastmen and humans. Even though Wendy was willing to protect Lin Tian for life, it was because she had a good impression of him. However, her actions in the past were mostly due to gratitude. However, now, other than gratitude, there was another kind of feeling spreading in her heart. ¡°Luckily, I made it in time!¡± Lin Tian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the foxmen tribe and the kobolds at the back. He conveniently started the livestream. Every day, Lin Tian would choose to stream the most exciting part of the day. Currently, the livestream was still dark, but there were already many people waiting. Some were just hanging around, while others were chatting. [The streamer is so late today.] [The livestream hasn¡¯t even started yet!] [I¡¯ve rewatched all the reruns many times!] At this moment, the livestream lit up. [He¡¯s finally here!] [Wow, what a grand occasion!] [Oh my God, so many cat-eared ladies?] [They¡¯re not cat-eared ladies, they look like fox-eared ladies!] [Look at the back! They look like a kobold!] [There are too many people!] [Is there going to be a fight? Fight! Fight!] The livestream instantly became lively. Within a few minutes, hundreds of thousands of viewers who had received the livestream notification swarmed in. When they saw the current scene, they were all filled with excitement! There was going to be a fight soon! Many of the viewers had been following Lin Tian¡¯s livestream, but they had only seen one battle, and it only had a small scale of a few dozen people. This time, there were so many people and even the kobolds who had never appeared before! [How exciting! Is the streamer going to show off his might?] [Is this real or fake?] [Streamer 666!] [The Best Fighter sent a cloud-piercing arrow to the streamer!] [White Rabbit sent 100 Ferraris to the streamer!] [Comment: Hubby, you can do it!] The viewers began to reward him one after another, and the special effects of the rewards flooded the screen! Lin Tian¡¯s livestream¡¯s popularity rose at a terrifying speed, and just as the livestream started, it welcomed a million people. Under the gaze of all the viewers, Lin Tian rode his horse and rushed to the main group of foxmen. At this moment, the kobolds also rushed up one after another! Rumble! When the taurens ran, the ground shook violently, producing a rumbling sound. The foxmen also saw these taurens. When they discovered that they had appeared together with Lin Tian, they were filled with shock. As for the kobolds opposite them, they were filled with fear. ¡°There are too many taurens and humans! They seem to be here to help the foxmen tribe!¡± shouted a kobold at the kobold tribe leader. Lin Tian¡¯s soldiers were relatively slow, but the army at the front had been charging forward. Hence, his 200 soldiers were only slightly slower than the taurens. The kobold tribe leader stared at Lin Tian, the 50 taurens, and the 200 soldiers behind them with a sinister gaze. He shouted, ¡°Stop!¡± The kobold soldiers stopped one after another. Lin Tian also made a stop gesture. ¡°Stop!¡± The kobold stopping was advantageous to him as it allowed the soldiers to catch up. He said to Adele behind him, ¡°You go down first and take the backpack with you.¡± On the way, Adele hugged Lin Tian tightly out of fear, afraid that she would fall off the horse. Hearing Lin Tian¡¯s words, her face flushed red as she jumped off Lin Tian¡¯s horse. The backpack on her back was filled with chocolate, which was used to replenish the foxmen¡¯s strength. [The fox-eared lady is so cute!] [I envy the streamer!] [Streamer, do you want to sign a contract?] After the fox-eared lady left, Lin Tian rode his horse forward and looked at the kobold. The kobold tribe leader also walked forward and said, ¡°Taurens, this is a matter between the fox tribe and me. It is best for all of you to mind your own business.¡± It was obvious that the kobold tribe leader did not care about Lin Tian at all as he initiated a conversation with the taurens. [Hahaha, the streamer has been ignored!] [Streamer, let the kobold see how powerful you are!] [Wow, I missed so much just because I was a little late?] The tauren chief was indifferent and shouted, ¡°We don¡¯t care, we only listen to our Lord!¡± ¡°Lord? You taurens are actually attached to a human?¡± The kobold chief was shocked and finally looked at Lin Tian. When he saw Adele and Lin Tian riding on a horse, he knew that Lin Tian was here to help the foxmen. The tauren chief said, ¡°Yes, we will do whatever the Lord wants us to do!¡± [The taurens are all so honest!] [I like honest people!] The kobold chief¡¯s face immediately turned dark. ¡°Who are you? Why do you want to interfere in the affairs between the beastmen?¡± The kobold chief knew that it was useless to talk to the tauren, so he looked directly at Lin Tian. Lin Tian asked, ¡°What rule says that we can¡¯t interfere?¡± The kobold tribe leader was stunned because there seemed to be no rules that stated that humans could not interfere with the beastmen¡¯s affairs.. Chapter 38 - A One Sided Battle Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [Hahaha, he was stunned by the streamer!] [The kobold isn¡¯t smart enough. He was KO¡¯d by just one question!] [The streamer has way fewer people than the kobolds. Can he defeat the kobolds?] The viewers in the livestream started to worry when they saw the situation of the troops behind Lin Tian. Compared to the number of kobolds, Lin Tian had fewer people with him. He could not even defeat half of the kobolds. In fact, the people who were worried were not only the viewers in the livestream, but also the fox tribe. The kobold tribe leader spoke in a sinister tone, ¡°So you¡¯re saying that you¡¯re going to interfere today no matter what?¡±As he spoke, his gaze had been scanning the soldiers and the taurens behind Lin Tian, as if evaluating the odds of victory. He was not worried about the humans, but the taurens¡¯ combat strength was strong, and they even had weapons in their hands! Lin Tian replied, ¡°That¡¯s right. From now on, the foxes will also be attached to me. They are my people. No one can hurt them without my permission! If you want to fight, then come at me!¡± [The streamer is awesome!] [The streamer is what a real man should be like!] Hearing Lin Tian¡¯s words, the foxes became worked up. Not only was Lin Tian willing to take them in, but he was also willing to help them! Facing the kobolds who were far more numerous than them, Lin Tian did not have the slightest fear. He accepted the battle in a domineering manner, which made the foxmen fully acknowledge him! Especially Wendy, who looked at Lin Tian with even more fervent eyes! Her gaze was caught by Mary, which gave her an inexplicable sense of threat. Unlike the foxmen, when the kobold tribe leader heard Lin Tian¡¯s words, his face turned even gloomier. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then don¡¯t blame me for being merciless! Warriors, come with me! Half of us will attack the taurens, and the other half will attack the humans!¡± The kobold tribe leader was very decisive. When he saw that there was no room for negotiation, he immediately roared and announced the start of the battle! The kobolds began to move one after another. They split into two groups and charged toward the taurens and Lin Tian¡¯s army! In Lin Tian¡¯s army, the leader, Daniel, shouted, ¡°Prepare for battle!¡± Dozens of spearmen immediately stood in a row. With a shout, they pointed their spears in front of them. Behind them were a hundred sword-shield soldiers. They pushed toward the kobolds together! Seeing the kobolds charging over, the tauren chief did not show any fear either. He waved his ax and charged forward. ¡°Charge!¡± The kobolds and the taurens were only a hundred meters apart. Under the situation where both sides were charging, they closed the distance in the blink of an eye. The kobolds at the front were very fast, but when they faced the taurens that were as strong as a hill, they subconsciously cowered. However, there were stone-throwers among the kobolds. Before the taurens could get close, a large number of sharp stones immediately smashed toward the taurens. The taurens raised the shield in their hands and with a series of clanging sounds, the stones were firmly blocked. Roar! The tauren chief at the very front had already rushed in front of the kobolds. He raised his ax and chopped down! The kobolds in front of him also had shields in their hands, but simple wooden items could not block the ax at all. The kobolds had just raised their shields when they were cut into two halves by the two-sided ax. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the tauren¡¯s power was. The taurens at the back also rushed forward one after another. One of the kobolds used his weapon to attack a tauren. The tauren raised its shield and rammed into the kobold. In the end, not only did the kobold not break the shield but it was even was sent flying after its arms were broken by the tauren. More kobolds died under the taurens¡¯ two-sided ax. The strength of the taurens combined with the sharpness of the two-sided ax was beyond imagination. The kobolds¡¯ equipment was not very good, to begin with, and they were very weak against the taurens. Hence, just as the battle started, most of the kobolds that charged at the front were already killed by the taurens. The taurens that wielded the two-sided ax were very agile. After killing one of the kobolds, they immediately pulled out the two-sided ax and slashed at another kobold. One after another, they killed the enemy efficiently. [The taurens are too powerful!] [D*mn, it¡¯s too bloody!] [Who can withstand Brother Tauren¡¯s attack!] [Is this real or fake?] [What happened? I stopped watching for a bit and now there¡¯s a big battle?!] On the battlefield, Lin Tian was very happy to see how powerful the taurens were. He bought a lot of food to feed them every day, and it was indeed not in vain. After all, the taurens each ate a few hundred yuan every day. Fortunately, they only ate two meals a day, so they consumed around 50 catties of food a day. Even 50 catties of white rice cost more than 100 yuan, not to mention that Lin Tian had to feed them a lot of meat. In other words, Lin Tian had to feed 100 taurens every day, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, which was more than what the 1,000 workers ate! With such a large appetite, no wonder no baron-level nobles could afford to feed so many taurens! However, they had shown their corresponding value now. Their combat strength was shockingly powerful! ¡°Surround them!¡± As he saw the kobolds get defeated by the taurens at the start of the battle, the kobold tribe leader immediately began to command. He led a group of kobolds and charged at the taurens, attempting to surround them. However, the taurens were not stupid. They quickly gathered in groups and covered each other. Within a short period of time, many more kobolds died. At the same time, the kobolds on the other side also began to fight with the humans. However, before they could reach the soldiers, they were met with numerous arrows. There were only a dozen or so arrows, but there were 50 crossbowmen. When they fired a round of crossbows, many of the kobolds at the front would be killed. A dozen or so archers continuously shot out from the back of the group, killing many of the kobolds. By the time the kobolds reached the spear forest formed by the spearmen, more than 300 kobolds had already died, and their advantage in numbers was gone. Then, they were taught a lesson by the sharp spears. 50 spears stabbed at them simultaneously, and immediately, more than a dozen kobolds were stabbed to death. The other kobolds tried to bypass the spear formation, but what awaited them were more than a hundred sword-shield soldiers. At this moment, the second round of arrows from the 50 crossbowmen was ready. They fired at the same time and took away dozens of kobolds. At such a close distance, the simple wooden shield in the hands of the kobolds was useless. In short, the kobolds did not take away even one of Lin Tian¡¯s soldiers, but more than a hundred of them had died. Very soon, the sword-shield soldiers also went forward to fight. In terms of physique, the kobolds were stronger than the humans. However, before the battle began, they had been chasing the foxmen continuously, which consumed a lot of their stamina. Right after they began fighting the sword-shield soldiers, the kobolds were already at a disadvantage. Their weapons were far inferior to the sword-shield soldiers. Moreover, some of the kobolds did not even have an iron knife, only wooden sticks. With wooden sticks of such quality, even if they were hit, Lin Tian¡¯s soldiers could resist the attacks and kill their opponents, not to mention that they had very good quality shields in their hands.. Chapter 39 - The End of the Battle Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The difference in weapons resulted in the kobolds being in a disadvantageous situation regardless of whether they were facing the taurens of the human soldiers! [No suspense at all!] [Too tragic!] [I want to interview the kobold tribe leader¡¯s current mood!] [Support the streamer!] One of the kobolds saw the current situation and immediately said to the tribe leader, ¡°Tribe leader, we can¡¯t compete in terms of combat strength. Let¡¯s retreat first!¡± After the kobold tribe leader realized that he could not win, he immediately changed his train of thought, ¡°Don¡¯t retreat, charge with me! Kill that human lord, then we won¡¯t be afraid of the rest!¡± He decided to capture the leader first! The kobold tribe leader roared loudly, holding a thick shield as he charged straight toward Lin Tian. Behind him were dozens of kobolds. [He¡¯s sending himself to his own death!] [The kobold tribe leader is still pretty smart, but it¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s facing the streamer.] [Where did he get his courage from?] The old viewers in the livestream were not worried at all. On the contrary, those who had just followed the livestream were worried about Lin Tian. The kobold tribe leader led dozens of kobolds and closed the distance between them and Lin Tian in the blink of an eye! ¡°Lord Lin Tian, be careful!¡± Many foxmen were very worried about Lin Tian. Following that, they watched as Lin Tian took out a backpack and then proceeded to take out a crossbow. With a bang, he shot out a crossbow arrow. The kobold tribe leader blocked it with the shield in front of him, but he was not Lin Tian¡¯s target. Instead, it was the kobold beside him. The kobold fell to the ground before it could even react. Lin Tian threw away the crossbow in his hand and drew the bow with both hands. He took out the crossbow from his backpack and threw it away after shooting one arrow. The sound of arrows being shot could be heard, and the kobolds fell one after another. In just a few minutes, more than 20 kobolds behind the kobold tribe leader had died. The foxmen looked at Lin Tian¡¯s backpack in shock. They could not understand how Lin Tian¡¯s backpack could fit so many crossbows! What they did not know was that Lin Tian¡¯s crossbows actually came from Storage Space, and his backpack was just a disguise. He could claim that this backpack was a product of magic. [Question: How many crossbows are there in the streamer¡¯s backpack?] [Doraemon¡¯s pocket can¡¯t even compare to this!] [The kobold tribe leader is charging over!] [Streamer, kill him!] The kobold tribe leader took advantage of the fact that Lin Tian was shooting at the tribesmen behind him and charged toward Lin Tian in large strides. Just as he was about to arrive, he raised the sledgehammer in his hand and smashed it fiercely toward Lin Tian. At this moment, a figure flashed past. The kobold tribe leader noticed something was amiss and immediately changed the direction of the sledgehammer. Mary¡¯s body moved slightly and dodged it. The short sword in her hand stabbed toward the kobold tribe leader once again. The kobold tribe leader let out a pained cry as he raised the sledgehammer and smashed it toward Mary. However, he forgot that Lin Tian was still beside him. With the sound of an arrow being shot, a crossbow arrow shot right through the kobold tribe leader¡¯s head. Therefore, he, who was relatively strong, died before he could do anything. ¡°The tribe leader is dead! Run!¡± Seeing the tribe leader¡¯s death, the remaining kobolds were scared to death. They wanted to retreat and began to flee. The taurens chased after them and killed many of the kobolds. In the end, less than ten kobolds managed to escape! John carried the double-sided ax and walked to Lin Tian. He revealed a simple and honest smile, ¡°Master, how was my performance?¡± John was very brave in the battle just now. He killed more than ten kobolds at once. Lin Tian praised, ¡°Your performance was very good.¡± John laughed happily. During this period of time, he ate a lot of food every day, but the only work he did was physical labor like moving rocks. He always felt as though he was not worth the food that Lin Tian had given him. After this battle, he finally felt more useful. For the taurens, food had always been the most important problem in their lives. However, now, Lin Tian had solved their problem. Through this battle, they had also found their value. At last, they had lived up to the value of the food that Lin Tian had given them. [Brother Tauren is so honest!] [He¡¯s so happy, he¡¯s like a 600-pound child.] [I, as a newcomer am asking, is the streamer acting?] [White Rabbit gave the streamer 100 Ferraris!] [Comment: My hubby is awesome!] [Passing Train gave the streamer 1 Ferrari!] [Mr. Lin Tian¡¯s Sidekick gave the streamer 100 Ferraris!] [Comment: He¡¯s clearly my hubby!] The livestream was filled with rewards, and the special effects of the rewards were all over the screen. The rewards were not only given by the old viewers, but also by the new viewers. Many people were discussing the authenticity of Lin Tian¡¯s transmigration. Compared to the previous battle, the scale of this battle was much larger and more intense. Moreover, this battle involved five races, humans, foxes, cat-eared ladies, kobolds, and taurens. The number of people totaled up to about a thousand. The automatic shooting of the system gave a very comprehensive scene, which was very different from certain movies. Those movies only gave an overview at the beginning of the scene, and then would switch to local scenes. In local scenes, one would easily realize that the main character was the only one acting. The battles of the other supporting characters were mainly perfunctory. A big production was also no exception. However, the battle just now was realistic regardless of the perspective it was looked from. Everyone fought desperately, especially when the taurens rushed out together. That scene included 50 taurens, which was particularly shocking! Furthermore, there were no traces of special effects at all. In addition, this was a livestream, so there was no way to use special effects. Some newcomers began to doubt whether the streamer had really transmigrated. Even the viewers who did not believe it in the past thought that Lin Tian had probably transmigrated to a different world after they watched this livestream. Transmigration made people look forward to the livestream and also sparked people¡¯s curiosity. However, they also thought that it was impossible. When they learned that Lin Tian could really transmigrate, the newcomers¡¯ worldview was impacted. This impact would undoubtedly increase the engagement of Lin Tian¡¯s livestream. Just like the viewers in the past, they would continue watching Lin Tian¡¯s livestream every day. Therefore, the number of people in Lin Tian¡¯s livestream continued to increase steadily. After the battle ended, Lin Tian said, ¡°Everyone rest for a few hours before we set off!¡± In the fox tribe, Lin Tian gave out a lot of food and water. Every foxman would get a portion. The other humans and taurens also sat down to rest. After all, they had traveled for a few hours and had experienced a battle. With this battle, Lin Tian¡¯s soldiers gained more battle experience. Although their numbers were still small, the core group had been confirmed. To an army, the core group was very important. When the population of the territory expanded, Lin Tian could continue to expand his army. As long as he had a core group, even if his army was ten times larger, it was still possible. This was because these core soldiers could help Lin Tian control the entire army.. Chapter 40 - To Transmigrate Is to Rebel Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The foxmen were probably too tired. After eating their food, they all sat down and fell asleep. Lin Tian¡¯s soldiers also rested after they had replenished their energy with food. Lin Tian glanced at the time, ended the livestream, and began to go shopping on Moujing. He decided to customize a batch of armor for the taurens. In the battle just now, the taurens dominated the battle between them and the kobolds. However, more than a dozen of them still ended up injured. In a battle of less than a thousand people, the taurens were very powerful. However, when the number of people fighting exceeded a thousand, or even more than ten thousand, the taurens would be at a disadvantage if they did not have armor protecting them. The same was true for Lin Tian¡¯s soldiers. He found a flagship store for custom-made armor. Although the armor in this store was mainly used for collection and cosplay, Lin Tian valued the materials of the armor more. As long as the materials were good, the original use was not important. Custom-made armor required everyone¡¯s height and size. When the store owner knew that Lin Tian wanted to custom-make dozens of two-meter-tall armor, he was shocked. The price of a set of armor was very expensive. Lin Tian did not order custom-made full-body armor. Instead, he covered the entire upper body and part of the lower body with light materials. He negotiated the price with the store owner. In the end, he paid a price of 20,000 for a set of the taurens¡¯ armor and 8,000 a set for the soldiers¡¯ armor. As for the archers, Lin Tian was prepared to equip them with light leather armor. Leather armor also had a great defense and was difficult to be cut through with a single slash. Five hours later, the foxmen gradually recovered some of their strength. The large group began to set off toward Lin Tian¡¯s tribe. At this moment, it was already nighttime. It had been a long time since Lin Tian ended his livestream, but there were still many people in his livestream. His popularity had not dropped much. Many newcomers were still watching the replay of Lin Tian¡¯s livestream. Many people who clicked into Lin Tian¡¯s livestream from the popularity rankings were confused. There were hundreds of thousands of people in a livestream that was offline? At this moment, many people had edited the video of the newest livestream and posted it on other websites, immediately attracting the attention of many people. [May I know the name of the movie?] [I would like to know the name too.] Many people thought that it was a movie after watching the videos, so they asked for the name of the movie in the comments. Then, they saw a link to Lin Tian¡¯s livestream on the top of the comments. [What? Transmigration? Really?] Most of the people thought that someone was pulling a joke, but out of curiosity, they still went to Lin Tian¡¯s livestream to check it out. After a night of marching, everyone finally saw the outline of the Lin Tian tribe. Wendy heaved a sigh of relief. The other foxmen were very curious about the appearance of the Lin Tian tribe. After all, this was where they would live in the future. Many people in the tribe also heard that the foxmen were coming, so they all came to watch. Lin Tian brought the foxmen to the area between the castle and the small town. A thousand over tents had been set up there and the foxmen began to choose their own tents. Wendy and Lin Tian moved into the castle together. The castle was not big, but there were many rooms. Wendy¡¯s mother saw that there were no servants in the castle, so she picked out a few beautiful fox-eared ladies from the female foxes and let them take care of the castle. The castle finally gained some vitality. Lin Tian did not let the foxmen start work immediately. Instead, he gave them two days of rest. He returned to the construction site and began to inspect the construction of the new city. When he arrived at the construction site, he started the livestream and found that the number of people online had increased. Many newcomers joined in, and they were asking all kinds of questions. Lin Tian took a casual look and then shifted his gaze. The newcomers immediately exclaimed saying how cold Lin Tian was. All the curious newcomers started to watch the livestream. However, today was not like yesterday. There were no intense battle scenes and only working scenes were streamed. Seeing the taurens appear, the newcomers perked up. [Wow, it¡¯s really a tauren!] [It¡¯s too real!] [Did you all watch yesterday¡¯s video? The tauren¡¯s combat strength is too awesome!] [So the streamer has really transmigrated?] A wave of discussion was stirred up in the livestream. The foxmen started working the following day. There were a total of more than 1,100 foxmen, and only half of them could work. However, many female foxes could do other jobs. Lin Tian bought many materials from Moujing to build a shed, preparing to cover all the potato fields that had previously been cleared. The tribe residents¡¯ food had not fully matured, and the yield was very low, but the potatoes had already begun to grow. When they fully matured, the yield could easily reach a few thousand catties, and a few dozen acres of land could produce hundreds of thousands of catties. With so many potatoes, it would cost a lot of money if they were to purchase them. Many places required a certain degree of spending. For example, the daily meals, cement, and other construction materials each cost tens of thousands of yuan. With the expansion of the army, the expenditure on equipment was also a large part of it. Though now, Lin Tian was still relatively well-off, so he was not worried. When a large number of foxmen started working, they caused a small sensation in the livestream. Lin Tian¡¯s livestream today was about building the city. Occasionally, he would let his phone follow Tauren John because John¡¯s popularity was also fairly high. A few days later, Lin Tian got a chance to draw a lottery. He was a little curious about what he would get this time, so he clicked to draw. [Congratulations, you have drawn a spell: intermediate fire control spell.] His initial basic fire control spell had finally upgraded. The basic fire control spell could only release one fireball at a time, and it was not very powerful. The intermediate fire control spell was slightly more powerful. A few days had passed but the locusts had not arrived. In the livestream, some of the viewers were gradually feeling bored. [Streamer, originally, I didn¡¯t believe that you have transmigrated, but now I do. However, all you do nowadays is build the city. Isn¡¯t it too monotonous? When will you finish building the city?] [That¡¯s right, streamer. Although the city building is interesting, it¡¯s really boring to watch it every day.] [Streamer, since you¡¯ve transmigrated, why don¡¯t you do something big?] [That¡¯s right. If you don¡¯t rebel after transmigrating, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!] [Streamer, you have such fierce taurens. Why don¡¯t you conquer other tribes?] [Be a Brave Leader gave the streamer 100 Ferraris!] [Comments: Streamer, rebel!] [Streamer, why don¡¯t we take advantage of this locust plague and directly devour all the surrounding tribes?] [That¡¯s right, attacking the Beastmen Kingdom is also a good choice!] [What goes on in all of your minds every day? Aren¡¯t you aware of how many men the streamer has?] [Don¡¯t rebel! I only want to see the fields!] [Streamer, their brains did not mature properly. Don¡¯t listen to their nonsense.] [White Rabbit sent 100 Ferraris to the streamer!] [Comment: Hubby, your safety is priority!] The livestream was bustling with discussion. Some people wanted Lin Tian to rebel, some wanted him to continue farming, and some people were just watching the show. No matter what the livestream said, Lin Tian did not care. However, from that day on, more and more people in the livestream encouraged Lin Tian to fight..
