It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 25

Master, what are we doing?

Huang Sanyuan asked inexplicably, he was called up by Cheng Dalei very early today and accompanied him around the Toad Ridge.

Look at the mountain! Cheng Dalei spit out two words pretending to be X.

Look... what mountain? Huang Sanyuan was even more confused.

Cheng Dalei did not answer this question, looked at the boulder in front of him, and wanted to climb up.

Butler Huang, you have a lot of knowledge. If our cottage wants to expand the population, where do you think we can recruit it?

This estimate is difficult.

What's the difficulty? Let's hear it. Cheng Dalei tried, but still couldn't climb up the boulder.

The people of the empire can generally be divided into four classes. Have you ever heard of this saying?

Cheng Dalei paused: What is the fourth class, how is it divided?

The first class is naturally the royal family. The Dawu Li family has been established for 120 years and enjoys supreme authority. They don't have to work and are enshrined by the empire; the second class is the nobility, which includes noble families, city owners, and wealthy merchants; Commoners include landlords, squires, and merchants; the fourth class is untouchables, including peasants, refugees, domestic slaves, and so on.”

Which class does the bandit belong to? Cheng Dalei asked in confusion.

Huang Sanyuan was a little embarrassed: The bandits have no rank, and it can be said that they are ranked the lowest. The empire does not recognize bandits as the people of the empire at all, and they are even lower than the refugees, slaves, and beggars. If ordinary people have nowhere to go, some would rather die. I don’t want to be a bandit either. If there is a bandit in a family, it will be a shame for the whole family and it will bring shame to the ancestors.”

Having said that, Huang Sanyuan glanced at Cheng Dalei. He is not sure about Cheng Dalei's temper now, for fear that these words will offend him.

Cheng Dalei was not angry, he finally climbed up the boulder and stood on the highest point overlooking the entire Toad Village.

Bandit, it turns out to be such a despicable existence!

Cheng Dalei suddenly smiled and said, Steward Huang, I'm going to build a wall around the Toad Village to reinforce the defense facilities of Yuanyuan.

It's good or bad, but we don't have any manpower.

I have thought about this issue, and I have already thought of a way. Cheng Dalei said to Huang Sanyuan: We can hire someone if there is no one, and I will give you a construction drawing later.

Huang Sanyuan's eyes widened instantly: Do you still understand construction drawings?

Well. Cheng Dalei admitted this matter without any psychological barriers.

No wonder Huang Sanyuan was so shocked. In this era when the literacy rate is less than 10%, Cheng Dalei can be regarded as a genius if he can do this.

He looked at Cheng Dalei with a bit of admiration, only to see Cheng Dalei standing on the boulder, his clothes fluttering, it was a bit unfathomable.

Cheng Dalei was looking at the topography of the Toad Village, and looking at the Toad Ridge from here, it looked like a toad crouching on the ground. The head of the toad is facing the south, and there are unfathomable cliffs below it, flanked by mountains and mountains, and the only way up the mountain is a hillside full of towering trees in the north.

What Cheng Dalei has to do is to reinforce the original defense of the cottage, then use rocks and trees to fill the gaps, and finally lay traps around the cottage.

Cheng Dalei led Huang Sanyuan around the cottage. Today was the first time he observed the architectural layout of the entire Toad Village. Honestly, no layout. It seems that the people who originally built this cottage must have thought of where to build and what to build.

And these will all be overturned and rebuilt in this renovation plan.

Duh, the achievement of exploring Toad Village is reached.

With the prompt message in his mind, a map slowly opened in Cheng Dalei's mind. Every building in Toad Village appeared on the map, which was extremely clear.

After Cheng Dalei had read it once, the complete layout of Toad Village had already been imprinted in his heart. At the same time, the blueprint of the system reward in my mind has begun to change. According to the topography of Toad Village, make corresponding changes. Where the defenses are weak need to be fortified, where the opening of the portal needs to be blocked.

Of course, because it is only a primary defense blueprint, everything is still very simple. But Cheng Dalei believes that with the development of the cottage, the things given by the system will naturally get better and better.

He returned to the room and flipped out the blueprint with ease. After handing it over to Huang Sanyuan, Huang Sanyuan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

The big boss is really, really...

Cheng Dalei pursed his lips: Mr. Huang, don't bring Black Rock City's flattering tricks here. We pay attention to ability and don't like that trick.

The subtext is: praise me, praise me to the fullest.

Huang Sanyuan nodded: The big boss has taught me a lesson.

...

Good news, good news!

Bang! clang!

Good news, good news!

Bang! clang!

In Feihu Village, Gao Feihu was enjoying the cool air under a big tree when the voice suddenly came from down the mountain. Gao Feihu sat up abruptly, having had a bad premonition in his mind after the last experience.

Sure enough, when he walked out of the cottage, he saw that the big tree near the cottage was covered with white paper again... It was called a leaflet or something. At this moment, a group of people gathered under the big tree, staring at the words above.

Master, please read to us, what is written on it.

Gao Feihu already had a bad premonition, and he didn't want to read the above content at all, and he didn't even want to tell other people to listen to it.

Come on, don't worry, I will read it to you.

Who is this, so blind. Gao Feihu turned his head and saw his younger brother swaggering over with a smug look on his face.

Good news, good news!

Gao Feibao cleared his throat and read the above aloud.

Young man, are you still enduring wild vegetables and grains every day! Here you can eat white flour pancakes every day.

Are you still troubled by the lack of weapons? Here are exquisite weapons for you to choose from.

Are you still confused about your future? Here is a splendid future for you.

Good news, good news!

Toad Village is recruiting talents!

Dreams set sail from here, and life is re-determined here!

Our aim is to ride the strongest horse and sleep the most beautiful woman.

Join the Toad Village, everything is not a dream!

At the bottom of the white paper, there is also a portrait of a person with a large axe on his shoulder, one hand stretched out, and the index finger points to the four blood-red cinnabar characters below.

I! need! want! you!

The muscles on Gao Feihu's face trembled violently, and an uncontrollable anger flooded his chest.

Ride the strongest horse, and sleep the most beautiful woman. Gao Feibao praised: This sentence is really well written, and the calligraphy is also good.

Bastard! Gao Feibao was so angry that he pounced on it and tore the contents to shreds, and roared angrily: I have never seen such a shameless person.
