Chapter 409
“And as the lord of this knight, I have a premonition that before long, I will hear your name again.”
His face wore a look of slight sentiment as he gazed at Cao Xing.
Cao Xing smiled, “Lord Chino, you’re joking.”
“Now it’s getting late, you should hurry back and look after your wife.”
From setting off in the morning to fish at Snow Fall Lake to the end of the trial, they had spent more than seven hours.
There was only an hour or so left until nightfall.
Chino nodded and said, “You’re right, Lord Cao Xing, I need to go back and care for my wife now.”
“Thanks to this Golden Salmon you gave me today, my wife should recover her strength.”
“Next, I will take her to the Eternal Frost Main City, and we will likely settle there.”
“In the future, if Lord Cao Xing comes to the Eternal Frost Main City, please seek me out, the old man is bound to share a drink with you.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded and said, “All right, I’m also looking forward to the day we meet again, Lord Chino.”
With that, they parted ways.
Watching Chino’s aging silhouette.
Cao Xing always had a premonition that, someday in the future, they might meet again.
After Chino disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Cao Xing glanced at the temperature and the countdown above him.
[Current Temperature: -53℃]
[Nightfall Countdown: 1 hour and 13 minutes…]
Cao Xing chuckled, “Let’s go, it’s getting dark, we should head back.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
A large group of people marched towards the direction of the territory.
As for those beasts on Snow Fall Lake, they were all scared away by the disturbance of the Lake Goddess.
This thwarted Cao Xing’s plan to hunt some beasts for an extra meal tonight.
However, today’s harvest was already quite impressive!
On the road, Cao Xing summarized today’s gains.
The biggest gain, of course, was the [Mad King’s Fishing Rod] in his hand.
As an Epic Item, its value was almost immeasurable!
It was also the third Epic Item Cao Xing had acquired.
Then, there was the nearly 12-kilogram [Golden Salmon], which Cao Xing had already slaughtered and broken down into fish meat.
A total of 11 pieces of [Golden Salmon Meat] were obtained.
Which, although it sounded little, could sell up to 110 portions at the rate of 100g each.
However, the price for this thing was too high.
It was estimated that few survivors in the entire District 174 could afford it.
Also, there were 11 Silver Salmon, about 92 kilograms in total.
They yielded 87 pieces of [Silver Salmon Meat], which meant a solid 870 portions.
Valued at at least 170,000 Ice Dragon Marks!
The rest of the blue quality and green quality fish meat were also quite good.
Together, they could sell for tens of thousands of Ice Dragon Marks.
This meant that just from the fish, they were worth at least two Golden Treasure Boxes.
Liu Muxue behind him also knew how much they had gained this time.
She was a bit excited and said, “Axing, should we go to the market for trading when we return this time?”
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing smiled and said, “Let’s wait until tomorrow.”
“There are only over thirty thousand people in District 174 now, probably not many good items in their hands.”
“After tomorrow’s merging, there will be people from 10 districts together.”
“At least a few hundred thousand people, and my batch of goods might sell for a higher price.”
After hearing Cao Xing’s analysis, Liu Muxue also agreed it made a lot of sense.
Then she nodded, “Yes, yes!”
During their conversation, everyone had returned to the territory.
As night fell, those subjects gathering resources were rushing back one after another.
Subject Cao Yi was waiting there early, and he reported, “Lord.”
“Today we collected a total of 8,764 pieces of Wood, 6,122 Stones, 1,754 Coal, 1,024 Iron, and 433 Copper.”
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Not bad, are the resources around our territory still sufficient?”
“To answer the lord, a medium-sized iron mine and a small copper mine near the territory have been fully mined, but there is a medium coal mine that can be mined for two more days.”
“In the near future, we might need to find new resource points or pause mining operations.”
Cao Xing pondered for a moment after hearing this.
Surprisingly, the nearby resource points were exhausted so quickly.
Until new resource points were refreshed, they had to explore further locations.
He did know the location of one resource point.
It was the Mole Man Mine discovered earlier.
Rich with precious minerals like [Mithril] and [Magic Energy Crystals], among others.
But it was a bit far from the territory, about seven kilometers away.
Such a distance made it impossible to lay the Iron Rail.
“But, tomorrow will be the seventh day of the official period, a new batch of resource points will refresh.”
“Let’s first see the conditions of the refreshed resource points before deciding whether to mine that cave.”
So, Cao Xing nodded and said, “All right, I understand.”
“Tomorrow, a new batch of resource points will appear near our territory, by then let Kanter and Kandar investigate first.”
“Then I’ll decide where to assign you to gather resources.”
Hearing this, subject Cao Yi nodded respectfully.
“Yes, my Lord.”
Although refreshing resource points seemed beyond comprehension for them.
They had experienced it once when the novice protection period ended.
So, Cao Yi was not too surprised.
Meanwhile, Kanter and Kandar also came over.
Each carrying a sack on the back of their horses.
Upon seeing Cao Xing, the two excitedly said.
“Strong lord, you’re back!”
