Chapter 153: Chapter 153: The Lumberyard and Quarry

It didn’t take long for the situation in the desert to be summarized. The impact on the desert was minimal; it had simply become much cooler. But that’s not to say there was no impact at all, at least nights had become extremely cold.

So, in the desert, those pre-prepared winter supplies would indeed come in handy.

Only a few Desert Snake-men and Desert Lizardmen underlings required a small amount of supplies. On the contrary, those who had not submitted were likely to have a hard time. In the future, they could either surrender their heads or be forced to fight desperately.

With one winter, gaining control over the desert had become much easier.

As for the Desert Oasis, it was basically unaffected and continued to produce the same yield.

Unlike Qin Lan’s ranch, where the growth speed of the livestock had been halved, this directly affected the production of the lower-tier Skull Soldiers. It even impacted the growth of some Black Iron and Bronze level Magic Beasts.

Ever since Feifeng Town was upgraded to a town level, Qin Lan had bred quite a few Black Iron and Bronze level livestock.

In the evening of the first day, there were more and more cries for help in the discussion area.

"Who can sell me some food, I’m almost starved today. Damn this winter, why did it suddenly arrive, and why did the prey in the forest suddenly become scarce?"

This was someone who had always relied on hunting for sustenance, not expecting prey to diminish as soon as winter arrived.

It was bad enough that the prey had lessened, but what was he to do with so many mouths to feed here? If he truly couldn’t feed his underlings, they might turn to eat him instead—no wonder he was anxious.

"I want food too, and also winter supplies, who knows what’s going on with this winter."

"Haha, I’ve been saying we should prepare for winter, the wisdom of the ancients is infinite."

"How much did you prepare, is it enough?"

"I did prepare some, but it’s still not enough. I’ve decided to wage war and deal with the bandits around us. It’s a good opportunity to reduce the population without decreasing loyalty."

"You’re learning fast, I can’t be that ruthless."

"Hey, what about Fang Jie the big shot? I remember Fang Jie had a large export of food; sell us a bit, man."

Fang Jie hadn’t expected that while he was observing, someone would remember to call upon him, but he didn’t make a sound. Qin Lan was making arrangements. Although he had countless food supplies, if he put them all out there, Qin Lan wouldn’t need to manipulate the situation.

Soon, many people started looking for Fang Jie, hoping he would speak up.

At this moment, Qin Lan spoke, "Don’t bother looking. We don’t have much food, and although we have some surplus we can offer, we can’t just give it to you for nothing."

"Qin Lan big sis is here, save me, I’m in such a miserable state right now."

"Exactly, I haven’t eaten all day, just short of this bit of food for cooking."

"Stop crying poor, how many of those who have lasted till now are truly unable to survive?"

Qin Lan certainly didn’t buy this nonsense. Indeed, those who had lasted until now, if they were Lords, must have some strength. At the very least, they could hold on for a while and not be unable to survive a day or two.

As for those who had given up, in other cities, those who couldn’t live on had long died. Those who survived had either banded together, joined another major force, or formed their own.

In any case, those still able to talk in the discussion area certainly weren’t so pitiful.

The truly pitiful were those who couldn’t even contact the discussion area anymore, essentially invisible.

"We are purchasing many items, especially various blueprints and Skills. If you have them, come to me, the more you offer, the better the deal. If you have special information, we are buying that too," Qin Lan directly started advertising.

When others realized after some pleading that Qin Lan wouldn’t budge, they slowly calmed down.

"What kind of people are you, how can you be such heartless bastards, are you just going to watch us die?"

"Zhao Yu, isn’t it? You’re blacklisted now."

"No, please, I was just venting, big sis, don’t do this."

The guy who had just cursed was immediately blacklisted, and that scared quite a lot of others who were about to speak up. Suddenly, everyone was reminded just how ruthless Qin Lan, this woman, could be.

If you offended her, she didn’t even need to do anything else; simply refusing to trade with you was punishment enough.

Although some organizations had been established to counteract Qin Lan, they simply didn’t compare in infrastructure, so they could only cause tiny disturbances, still having to trade with Qin Lan behind the scenes.

With the sudden onset of winter, they dared not offend her even more.

Some people who were originally trying to stir the pot gradually stopped their actions. After all the pleading was in vain, they were left with no choice but to offer some tangible goods for trade.

Many had hoped to hold onto certain items, but now they regretfully had to take them out.

Before long, Fang Jie received communication from Qin Lan, and some good items had come into his possession. Some special items were directly carried by White Bone Vultures, flying towards his area.

"The blueprints for the lumberyard and quarry, finally got my hands on them."

Fang Jie felt almost moved to tears; although these items seemed common, the drop rates were indeed extremely low.

Unlike Mining Fields, where you simply need to discover a vein within your controlled area, and the Territory comes with the construction of the Mining Field, without the blueprints, it’s impossible to build lumberyards and quarries.

He could build them himself, but it just wouldn’t be the same.

You see, these were like the Mining Fields, permanently unrestricted special rules structures. As long as you have enough lumberyards and quarries, you won’t have to worry about running out of these materials in the future.

The quality of the materials produced in these mining fields isn’t something to worry about.

Without a second thought, Fang Jie immediately began construction on a lumberyard over the only remaining forest in the vicinity, and simultaneously built a quarry in a stone area.

Lumberyard: A specialized establishment for cutting trees; the cutting volume and quality are determined by the size and type of nearby forests.

Construction Needs: 100 units of wood

Quarry: A specialized establishment for quarrying stones; the quarrying volume and quality are determined by the size and type of nearby stone mines.

Construction Needs: 100 units of stone

The price was cheap, and they would produce a certain amount of wood and stone each day without damaging any trees or causing the stones on the ground to disappear. This entire area had become a special rules product.

If the lumberyard and quarry were not destroyed, then the forests and stones they controlled would not suffer any harm from external forces. Of course, if damaged sufficiently, the lumberyard and quarry would be the first to be destroyed.

Fang Jie found that not only wood and stone were produced here, but there was also a chance to obtain higher-grade synthetic materials.
