Chapter 18 (1/2)

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

As for the magic equipment…

With a thought, Mike.

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

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

It came from the tier 4 goblin mage.

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

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

“Materials from monsters!”

Mike looked at the castle’s warehouse.

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

It came from thousands of monsters in the wild.

Fur, scales, claws, needles…

There was a variety of them.

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

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

Mike 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.]

[I’ll sell the monster materials, you forge the equipment.]

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

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

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

She could completely ignore Mike.

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

This way, she could earn more.

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

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

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

“Yes, yes, Yaoyao listens to Mike.”

Lin Yaoyao did not consider these questions.

Mike’s understanding of her was actually wrong.

She was not a shrewd businessman.

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

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

She came to this world alone.

It was inevitable that she would be lonely and afraid.

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

She would also be afraid… and not feel safe.

She could feel safe in Mike.

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

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

Therefore, she was eager to get closer to Mike.

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

“Then it’s decided!”

Mike continued to ask, [how much refined iron have you forged now?]

Lin Yaoyao replied, [Big Mike, Yaoyao has already forged 800 units of refined iron.]

Mike was stunned. [So much?]

Lin 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!]

The recruitment mechanism of the military structure.

The weaker the military, the more they recruited.

The stronger the military, the fewer they recruited.
