nThe normal equipment was naturally the goblin’s broadsword, lance, mace, leather armor, and a series of other equipment.

nAs for the magic equipment…

nWith a thought, Mike.

nA magic staff stored in the warehouse instantly appeared in his hand.

nThis magic staff was inlaid with strange crystals at the top.

nIt came from the tier 4 goblin mage.

nIts function was to increase the power of low-level spells.

nThis should be a piece of magic equipment, but it was very low-level.

n“Materials from monsters!”

nMike looked at the castle’s warehouse.

nIn the warehouse, he had stored up to a thousand monster materials.

nIt came from thousands of monsters in the wild.

nFur, scales, claws, needles…

nThere was a variety of them.

n…

nMike replied, I have a lot of monster materials, but how do we work together?

nLin Yaoyao replied, there’s no need. Yaoyao can help you forge equipment for free!

nMike paused for a moment and replied, I don’t need normal equipment for the time being. The equipment you forge can be directly sold in the space exchange. I can trade it for the materials needed to upgrade the castle.

nI’ll sell the monster materials, you forge the equipment.

nWe’ll split the profits from the sale 60-40. I’ll split 60-40. You split 40-40. What do you think?

nMike could earn 60-40, but he was not greedy.

nAccording to Mike’s speculation, the ‘smithy’ Lin Yaoyao owned should be the only building that could forge equipment at this stage.

nShe could completely ignore Mike.

nShe could buy monster materials at a low price, forge them into equipment, and then sell them at a higher level.

nThis way, she could earn more.

nWhen the number of smithies increased in the future, her earnings would decrease.

nIf she worked with Mike, she could earn 60-40%. After all, this was a no-cost business.

nIt was just that compared to becoming rich overnight, she would earn less. However, it was in line with the meaning of long-term cooperation.

n“Yes, yes, Yaoyao listens to Mike.”

nLin Yaoyao did not consider these questions.

nMike’s understanding of her was actually wrong.

nShe was not a shrewd businessman.

nShe bought Mike’s food at a high price, not as a long-term investment. She just wanted Mike’s protection.

nIn the end, she was just a 14-year-old girl.

nShe came to this world alone.

nIt was inevitable that she would be lonely and afraid.

nIn addition, the monsters in the wild were wreaking havoc.

nShe would also be afraid… and not feel safe.

nShe could feel safe in Mike.

nAfter all, Mike’s strength was recognized as the most powerful Castle Lord.

nAfter coming into contact with Mike, her fear of this strange world gradually lessened.

nTherefore, she was eager to get closer to Mike.

nJust like a child trying to get the approval and protection of an adult.

n…

n“Then it’s decided!”

nMike continued to ask, how much refined iron have you forged now?

nLin Yaoyao replied, Big Mike, Yaoyao has already forged 800 units of refined iron.

nMike was stunned. So much?

nLin Yaoyao sent a smiley face. Yes, yes! Yaoyao can recruit nine grey dwarves every day. There are blacksmiths, absentees, warriors… They all work very hard!

nThe recruitment mechanism of the military structure.

nThe weaker the military, the more they recruited.

nThe stronger the military, the fewer they recruited.

nJust like Mike’s dragon nest.

nEach level up could only recruit one dragon.

nHowever, the dragon he recruited was undoubtedly powerful.

nPerhaps with the upgrade of the military structure, the number of dragons he would recruit in the future would increase!

nToday was the fourth day.

nLin Yaoyao clearly already had 36 dwarves.

nAlthough there were many of them, their combat power was weak.

nMike could easily defeat her dwarven team with a single tier 5 dragon.

nThis was also the difference between a super top-tier Army and a low-tier army.

nMike replied, I will sell 200 units of food and monster materials in the spatial exchange later. I will exchange them for 800 units of refined iron. You will be the only one who can buy them.

nAfter you have finished forging the equipment.

nSell it to the space exchange yourself.

nBuy energy stones, strange crystals, and upgrade materials for the castle.

nAfter the equipment is sold, transfer 60% of the materials to me.

nLin Yaoyao quickly replied, okay, Mike. Yaoyao knows!

nOkay.

nMike immediately sold the food and monster materials and set the limitation of people who may purchase.

nHe was not worried that Lin Yaoyao would take his monster materials and not come back.

nIt was not worth it.

nThe two of them had established long-term cooperation. The long-term cooperation was in the interests of both parties.

nA moment later.

nLin Yaoyao sent a message. Big Mike, can you chat with Yaoyao when you’re Free? Yaoyao wouldn’t be bothered by Big Mike. She just wanted to chat with him and let Yaoyao know that Big Mike was by her side. Yaoyao’s parents were gone and she couldn’t find them either. She was very afraid to be alone…

nMike was silent for a moment.

nHow old are you?

nOh, Yaoyao just turned 14 not long ago!

nAlright, only during free time!

nHmm, thank you, Big Mike!

nIn the dark underground world.

nThe little loli with a gray face was happily humming a song.

nYaoyao was very happy today.

nShe went to the space exchange.

nShe bought all the food and monster materials that Big Mike had on the shelves.

nShe said to the little dwarf under her.

n“There will be an endless supply of food in the future! So everyone must work harder! With Big Mike, our lives will be better and better!”

n“Yes, Your Highness Yaoyao!”

nThe happy little loli fantasized about her future life, and the corners of her mouth never came down.

n…

nDragon King Castle.

nMike shook his head slightly and did not think too much about it.

nAfter all, in this alien world, there were billions of people, and everyone was lonely.

nHe could not be the savior of the world, and he would help every single one he met…

nNot long after, Tyrell and Barr returned to the castle with more than a dozen wild monster corpses.

nTyrell, who had put down the wild monster corpses, flew to Mike.

nHe bowed respectfully to Mike and said, “my lord, after a day of searching by Barr and me, we have finally found the location of the goblin tribe. As long as you give the order, we can attack the heretics at any time!”

n“Oh, we have found it!”

nMike asked, “how far is the goblin tribe from our castle?”

nTyrell said respectfully, “my lord, the goblin tribe is less than three kilometers away from the castle.”

nThree kilometers.

nAs he had guessed, it was not far.

nBecause of the close distance, the goblin tribe was able to mobilize more goblin warriors in a short period of time to invade the Dragon King Castle.

nMike looked at the sky outside the castle.

nThe sky was getting darker and the blood moon was about to rise.
