Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Rewards for the Third Day
Chapter 15: Rewards for the Third Day
Luo Ning didn't expect that after a busy day, he would return to his bedroom to sleep.
Just after midnight, familiar words appeared in my field of vision.
[Sign in successfully, attribute point +1]
Combined with the "Lord of Killing" achievement completed during the day, Ronin already had 11 attribute points, and without exception, he added them all to the knight level.
His knight-level progress is now 33/100, and his physical fitness improved significantly compared to last night.
"You can claim the third day's login reward."
Luo Ning looked at the seven-day login interface:
[Day 3: Reward: a space ring with ten cubic meters of storage space]
This time, it's not a character card, attribute points or energy essence but an item.
As the reward was received, a light flashed in the air before Roning's eyes, and then a ring with green and blue colours intertwined appeared in the air.
"Very exquisite!"
Roning took the ring in his hand and played with it.
I don't know what material it is made of. It feels light and extremely cold, just like holding an ice cube in the summer.
How to use it?
Luo Ning read it over and over again but couldn't find the way. He thought of the common plot in novels: "Does it mean that I have to drip blood to recognize the master?"
However, as he watched, a line of text appeared next to the ring:
[Inject fighting spirit or mental power to bind]
"It turns out it's not blood..."
Roning put down the sword in his hand.
He is still just a junior knight, and his fighting spirit has not yet broken through the fighting spirit seed, so he cannot release the fighting spirit;
so if he wants to bind the space ring, he can only do so by injecting mental power.
But there was no magician around him, and he had never been exposed to any magic-related knowledge. He had no idea how to use magic or how to use mental power.
"Give it a try yourself."
Luo Ning put the ring on the ring finger of his right hand, then closed his eyes and concentrated on the ring.
At first, no strange phenomena occurred, but gradually, he felt as if a tentacle extended from his brain, through his body and to his fingers.
"Is this spiritual power?"
This feeling was very wonderful. At this moment, Roning entered a state of introspection and could see the situation inside his body clearly, much clearer than when he sensed the Dou Qi seed.
"Found it, the ring!"
Roning sensed the shape of the ring. With a thought, his mental power seemed to have a gap, and he went straight into the ring on his finger.
In an instant, a mysterious black magic circle appeared on the ring, and the light emanating from it connected Ronin and the ring together.
"Swoosh~"
It was like the sound of a flying vehicle quickly flying through the air, and Roning suddenly felt the space become clear.
"This should be the world inside the ring, a storage space of ten cubic meters."
The grey space was fairly spacious, but now it was empty, with nothing in it.
Luo Ning opened his eyes and found that the delicate and small ring on his finger had disappeared. Only when he used his mental power to observe he found that the ring had merged with his finger and was hidden between the skin and the finger bones. It was magical.
Then, he began to try to figure out how to store items in the space ring.
He soon mastered the method. He only had to bring external objects into contact with the location of the ring, and then his mental power would be emitted through the ring and touch the object to store it in the space ring.
Collecting and putting things away many times will consume a certain amount of mental energy, especially large objects.
"Although it consumes some energy, it is much more convenient to have this thing."
Roning was not sure about the value of a space ring, but if he really sold it, it would definitely be priceless.
If he wanted to get rich overnight, he could just sell the ring.
But who would think of selling this thing? Besides, selling it would bring trouble.
After playing with it for a while, Roning took another look at the seven-day login interface and is looking forward to the next four items.
He closed the interface and excitedly lay on the bed with his hands resting on his head.
"I made a lot of money this time!"
He was very glad that he chose to return to Wushan City instead of going to Muma City to buy slaves.
"30 guards, 100 gold coins, plus so many supplies..."
Luo Ning's family fortune is now quite substantial.
If he hadn't invested in other areas, these materials and money would have been enough for him to live carefree for several years.
The only pity is that the population of Shanlin Town is too small. According to Lu Lans, there are less than a thousand people.
This made Roning feel like he was not the lord of the town but more like a mountain king.
"If we want to grow bigger and stronger, it looks like we'll have to consider population issues for a long time to come."
It has been the third day since he travelled to this world. While getting familiar with this world, Roning has also gradually gained a clear understanding of his future.
Originally, he wanted to rely on the golden finger to survive in the remote mountains, but after learning that Shanlin Town was not a peaceful place, he knew that hiding there all the time would not work.
As a baron and a member of the aristocracy, there are things he wants to avoid, but the enemy's spearhead is already pointed at him. This is the same as the principle that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility.
So he needs to improve his strength and form his own team.
The golden finger gave him shortcuts and directions.
"Make money, develop, expand the population..."
Information about Shanlin Town flashed through Luo Ning's mind. There was a tribe of savages living in the woods to the north of the town.
"Lulansi said that there are less than a thousand people in Shanlin Town. This small population can resist the Savage Tribe, which means that the Savage Tribe is not so scary. Perhaps I can consider absorbing the Savage Tribe first."
It costs money to buy slaves and recruit workers, but as long as he conquers the barbarian tribes, he can gain some population without spending any money.
The only thing you need to consider is the loss caused by conquest. You must minimize your own losses so that the benefits will be greater.
"Improving the combat effectiveness of the guards is the key."
Roning thought of the knight Garman Stout, with whom he had a brief exchange in the afternoon. If there was a team of knights like this, wouldn't it be easy to conquer the barbarian tribe?
"When can I form a knight team like this~."
For a standard knight squad, Ronin needs at least 12 junior knights, 36 squire knights, ten archers, and 60 infantrymen, a total of 118 people, plus at least 48 horses.
He is a little far from this goal.
"Being a lord is much more complicated than being a student."
Luo Ning yawned. After a busy day of running around and acting, he felt a little tired and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the butler Chahar was still waiting outside the door early. After a simple breakfast, Roning brought McKen and Chahar outside of Wushan Fort.
At this time, the thirty selected guards were already standing outside Wushan Fort, waiting for Roning's arrival.
In the distance, you can see a lot of civilians watching. They should be their family members, but due to the intervention of the castle guards, they are not allowed to get close.
In addition to the people, there were eleven carriages and two horses lined up in a row, which was very impressive.
Roning looked at the guards preparing to set off, then glanced at the supplies on the carriage and couldn't help but smile with joy.
Compared to yesterday, his assets almost doubled.
"Chahar, go arrange for a few people to distribute the supplies on the vehicles and try to make the weight of the goods on each vehicle as close as possible."
"Yes, sir."
Roning came to the second warhorse that was given to him, reached out and patted the horse's head. The black horse cooperated and blinked, showing no resistance.
"I wish the Baron a safe arrival in Shanlin Town!" This time, the two butlers, the new and old, were still seeing him off.
"Thank you for your blessing."
Luo Ning laughed and looked at the team that was already ready. He shouted with high spirits: "Let's go!"
At this time, outside the Wushan Fortress, Earl Wiggins, who was doing nothing, took advantage of the high terrain to look at Ronin's team and couldn't help but spit.
"This guy finally left, don't come back!"
