Chapter 28: Plan change and Bait

Inside a dungeon, Soro is now selecting a new skill.

Absorption complete. Skill randomizing.

Please select:

1: Earth armor: give you an earth element coating that reduces 20% income physical damage for 10 seconds.

2: Nature armor: give you a nature element coating that heals your injuries over time for 10 seconds.

3: none

4: none

After a few seconds of thought, Soro picks option 2. Healing is always good. So now if he gets injured, he will use rage to reduce the pain and then use nature armor to heal. Talking about the combo, now my tier1 bear has "fury swipe" from the previous dungeon, the skill is to help increase the next 2 claw swipe attacks by 200% damage. Whenever my wolf pinned down a tough prey, my bear can help it to finish the prey off.

Since the core has been absorbed, now it is time to clean up the dungeon. He gives out the order to his summons that is in this dungeon to start killing their crippled prey. Soon a level-up screen appears.

The host has leveled up. Please select a talent.

1: +5% summon strength

2: +5% summon agility

3: +5% summon intelligence

4: +10% moving speed

Since his bear now has a powerful skill to hit the enemy, his wolves don't need a bite that can crush bones anymore. So he decided to pick option 2, the agility.

Right now, there is no more dungeon left in this area. That's means that he has no more reason to stay here anymore. So he decided to move the plan forward. Tomorrow he will move to another side of the river.

From what he experienced on the first day in this world, that side of the river has a lot of fierce animals. And from what the warrior captain said, there are even tier 2 and 3 beasts that exist on that side. And there is a rumor of a tier 4 beast as well.

So the death forest will be his next hunting ground. He can't wait to get more experience and skills. And for the extra meat, it will be given to the villagers. If they are lucky, tier1 and tier2 beast meat will make them become stronger and be able to join his team faster.

Soro turns to a hunter that didn't follow number 1, you go to tell number1 to bring people and collect the meat here. And tell him that I change my mind. I want him to start the next part of the plan today.

"Yes, my lord." After replying to Soro, the messenger guy hurry to get on a tier1 boar and dash toward the deer village to pass on the message and the change of plan.

Now Soro doesn't need the carcass of the normal beast anymore. If he wants some normal animal, he will just summon them as a temporary summon and use them.

Meanwhile at the deer village.

After the arrival of the captain warrior, everybody in the village starts to feel at ease again. But people start to notice a few things different. Like where did the captain got those skins and meats? And there seem to be a few people missing.

Like he knows what everyone thought, the captain order people to gather up. He said that he has an announcement to tell everyone.

Soon a crowd of people gathered.

Suddenly an impatient warrior asks: "captain! Is it about where you get those animal skins and the missing hunters?"

"Yeah! And don't ask any more questions for now. Let me explain the current situation. Yesterday, the missing group didn't meet with any danger. They met a powerful noble that come out for training. After that, he decided to recruit these 12 people. And for the missing hunters, right now they are staying with the lord to run some errands for him."

The captain pointed at the group of missing people from yesterday. And continue speaking:

"These people spent an entire day with the noble inside the forest. He taught them how to hunt efficiently and bestowed them with a few of his family fighting techniques. Later, I will let them demonstrate it for you."

After hearing this part, the crowd starts to turn into a noisy chatter.

"Silent! Am not done yet! This morning, after we found the group of missing people and met the lord noble. We are convinced by his charisma. And we also decided to join him. And everyone no need to be worried about us abandoning the village. The lord noble is planning to train at the death forest. He only recruits us for his convenience.

Our job is only to run some errands for him, and we don't have to leave the village to follow him on his journey. In exchange, he will impart us a few techniques and some breast meat. And if we are doing our job well, beast meat of tier1 and 2 can also be part of the reward. And for those who are talented, he might consider letting them follow him on his adventure. But under a condition, if they can get to tier3 or above."

Hearing this, all strong and able men of the village are already tempted to join the lord immediately. Soon someone raises his hand up. "Captain, I want to join the lord noble."

Then more people follow up, "me too".

"Me too".

Seeing this, number1 start to show a smile on his face. Thinking to himself, the first step, made up a story and convincing them to join the lord, is checked.

But this is not all the plan, the lord won't harvest all of these crops too early. So he starts to explain more about the requirements of the lord. Like only taking tier1 fighter for now. The rest will need to train inside the village first. Until they reach tier1, that they can qualify to join him.

There are a few complaining about unfair treatment and more about the first group of hunters that got recruited. But number1 just calms them down by telling them that the Lord will provide them with beast meat until they reach tier1.

After more convincing and calming the crowd, the battle training is up next. It is to show off the power of the lord. Also, it is to convince them more about joining.
