Chapter 1665: Chapter 559: New Large-Scale Mine, Golden Points Surging (5600)_3
"The blacksmiths have already begun their work. Mr. Harold asked me to inquire if you have any new instructions?"
Cao Xing pondered for a moment.
He actually had a number of blueprints that needed crafting.
Divine Protector Sword, Neros Cannon, as well as blueprints for large mining robots and the third-generation War Giant.
The first two need to be crafted by the blacksmiths.
The latter two robots need to be made over at the Mechanical Factory by Rock.
Thus, Cao Xing said, "I understand. I will go over now to issue them new tasks. You may proceed with your duties."
"Yes, esteemed Lord." Du An quickly departed.
...
...
Cao Xing headed straight to the industrial area of the fourth ring of the territory.
Soon, a row of black buildings, six to seven meters high, appeared before him.
These were all expert-level blacksmith shops, exuding a cold and solid aura.
Compared to some time ago, when there was just one lonely blacksmith shop, the scale now could be described as greatly expanded.
Every blacksmith shop had variously shaped chimneys standing tall on their roofs, and even from dozens of meters away, one could hear the clinking sounds of metal being struck.
Clearly, these blacksmiths had already started working.
Cao Xing directly pushed open the door of one of the blacksmith shops.
Inside were over a dozen blacksmiths laboriously forging, who greeted Cao Xing upon seeing him enter.
Cao Xing nodded slightly to acknowledge them.
Among the crowd, he found Harold, sweating profusely.
The Dwarf Blacksmith, upon seeing Cao Xing, immediately set down his work and respectfully said, "Lord, are you here to inspect the work?"
Cao Xing shook his head and asked, "Harold, what are you currently crafting?"
The Dwarf Blacksmith respectfully replied, "We plan to first mass-produce a thousand sets of standardized war armor to equip the warriors.
"Then craft a batch of weapons."
Cao Xing said, "Not bad, but next, you don’t need to craft those Purple Quality weapons, just craft these two things directly."
Having said that, he took two blueprints out of his backpack and handed them to him.
Harold quickly glanced at them.
The blueprint for the Divine Protector Sword was understandable since he was quite well-versed.
But upon seeing the Neros Cannon blueprint, his eyes gradually showed surprise!
"There is actually a blueprint for a large cannon!"
"And it seems that the cannon’s power is quite formidable!"
Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Can you craft it?"
"No problem, Lord,"
"With sufficient materials, it would take about two days to craft one!" Harold responded solemnly.
Admiration appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
Crafting a Neros Cannon in two days, this efficiency was indeed quite fast, worthy of a Master-level Blacksmith!
"Very well, you will be responsible for crafting the Neros Cannon. The other two expert Blacksmiths will craft more Divine Protector Swords."
"As for the other blacksmiths, just mass-produce the war armor." Cao Xing quickly issued a series of orders.
"Yes, sir!"
After giving instructions to Harold, Cao Xing proceeded next door to the Mechanical Factory.
"Clang! Clang, clang!"
Upon entering, the factory echoed with loud mechanical sounds and the grinding of gears, even noisier than the blacksmith shop.
Navigating through various large machinery, Cao Xing quickly found Rock at work.
He was directing several Goblins to assemble a large, deep-blue war tool.
It stood three stories high, with a main framework made of sturdy Cold Iron. The massive catapult arm resembled a winding Ice Dragon, over ten meters long.
This massive tool was naturally the Frost Catapult, also an Epic Level apparatus.
Upon seeing Cao Xing, these Goblins stopped their actions and saluted him.
Cao Xing gestured and asked, "Rock, how many Frost Catapults have been made?"
The Goblin respectfully replied, "Oh! Great Lord, the Goblins have been tirelessly working day and night to craft these catapults."
"Through our relentless efforts, we have produced eleven units."
He rubbed his wizened hands and grinned, "You know... crafting this type of large war tool is immensely complex, so the work efficiency isn’t high..."
Cao Xing directly interrupted Rock and then took out two blueprints.
Rock quickly accepted them and took a glance.
His face, filled with wrinkles, broke into a smile. "Lord, these two blueprints are truly powerful!"
"Especially the War Giant one, it could even rival the pinnacle mecha of my race!"
Cao Xing asked, "Can you craft it?"
"Of course, no problem!" Rock replied with certainty.
"But... this War Giant requires Star Meteorite Bar, an advanced material. We don’t have it in our territory, do we?"
Cao Xing nodded, "Indeed, we don’t have it, so for now, just craft a few large mining robots."
"The Frost Catapult project can mostly be stopped."
"Once the number of mining robots is ample, they can accelerate the territory members’ mining efficiency."
Rock straightened his posture and respectfully replied, "No problem, esteemed Lord!"
After assigning tasks to the Goblin, Cao Xing left the Mechanical Factory.
Then he continued to meditate and read books in the territory.
Time flew by, and five days passed.
Now it was the 38th day of the development period, with one week remaining until the third round of Monster Siege begins.
During these five days, the combat personnel’s levels in the territory were rapidly advancing.
Firstly, the Dragon Speaker had reached 99% at Level 99, just short of the last bit of experience needed to reach Level 100!
Giant Dragon Seraphis’s level had also soared to Level 91, successfully becoming a Tenth Rank creature.
Additionally, Sarah’s level reached Level 85, already a Ninth Rank assassin.
Of course, Liu Muxue’s leveling was the most terrifying, currently reaching Level 84, almost catching up to Sarah!
Furthermore,
During this time, Cao Xing also consumed more than a dozen Master-level Power Hearts, allowing all Leader Level and above creatures in the territory to break through to Master Level.
Now, the number of Master Level individuals in his territory exceeded fifty.
Most of them had also leveled up to Level 70.
If this group could all break through to Hero Level, it would be an immensely terrifying force!
Thinking about this, Cao Xing lamented, "Regrettably, I still have to wait over a month before the Lost Royal City opens."
"Otherwise, I could bring all the combat personnel in the territory over now for a significant boost!"
"But it’s fine, Sam and Isabell are challenging trials and have made nice progress."
A few days ago, from the messages they sent, both had gained certain opportunities.
Isabell had successfully broken through to Eighth Rank and become a Heroic Level Light Mage in that legacy.
Sam, because he was initially an Eighth Rank creature, elevated his Frost Wolf to Eighth Rank.
In short, Cao Xing’s territory now had two more Heroic Level creatures.
When they completely finish all trials, they might usher in a new wave of transformation!
Contemplating this, a smile once again appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
Not long after the warriors left the territory to deal with the strengthened Ice Nest.
Cao Xing heard a "zz zz" electric noise in his ear again.
Upon connection, a clear yet steady voice came through.
"Lord, I am Renice."
