A 100 dwarves working simultaneously for an hour can produce thousands of items by you.

That sound promising.

How shall we split the proceeds? Xiao orphan.

I lack the necessary magic crystals for procurement.

I'll need you to handle that and we can split the profits 50/50.

Bayou agreed.

Thank you.

Bayou had once again secured a favorable deal.

Even without her initial capital, Xiao Yini could easily engage in buy and sell transactions with her two 0000 magic crystals.

Although it might take a bit longer, she would ultimately realize a substantial profit.

Of course, there was a possibility that in two or 3 days, these lords would discover that these miscellaneous items could be utilized to craft equipment, at which point prices would soar, eliminating the current opportunity for a lucrative profit.

Thus, even though profitability was assured, timing was of the essence.

Bayou immediately listed all her magic crystals on the trading post.

Bayou initiates a transaction.

one magic crystal for one wild boar tusk and any animal pelt.

Remaining quantity 4 0 0.

Bayou originally possessed four 980 magic crystals and she decided to list them in whole numbers to avoid arousing suspicion among the other lords.

Nevertheless, this decision inadvertently allowed some first tier lords to catch wind of the peculiar activity.

Why would a top tier lord like Bayou suddenly begin acquiring such seemingly worthless items? Even if these lords suspected that Bayou was purchasing these items to craft equipment, they were powerless to act as they had no use for such items themselves.

The discerning lords had no choice but to temporarily retain the trifles in their possession.

Once the order was posted, it instantly caused a stir among the other lords, who immediately began to seize the opportunity.

These weaker lords were in dire need of the scarce magic crystals, and the prospect of exchanging two seemingly useless items for a single crystal required no contemplation.

Where else could they find such a lucrative deal? They were indifferent to the purpose for which the powerful sought these items.

All that mattered was their own gain in magic crystals.

In less than 10 minutes, 4 thousand magic crystals were snatched away and Bayou amassed 4,000 wild boar tusks and 4,000 varying animal pelts.

Without delay, Bayou sent all 8,000 materials to Xiao Yin Shua, who would likely be working late that night.

Xiao S orphan, you're a remarkable boss.

Crab yellow bun, I still have 160 wild boar tusks left in my warehouse.

Let us forge them, too.

Xiao S orphan.

All right, boss.

Once the equipment is crafted, you can sell it.

Your prestige is higher, and many lords will surely believe it was acquired for monster hunting, not recalling the forging aspect.

Crab yellow bun sounds good.

Subsequently, Bayou retrieved 160 materials from her warehouse and sent them to Xiaoli and Shua.

In total, this amounted to 4,160 materials.

If split evenly by you would receive 20 800 magic crystals in an instant by used barracks could be upgraded once more.

If these lords discovered that the miscellaneous items dropped by wild monsters could be utilized to forge equipment, prices would undoubtedly rise.

Embay did not wish for her business to be thwarted so soon.

She harbored a premonition that this secret would likely be uncovered by the lords before the impending beast tide, and it would not last long.

With billions of lords, the sheer number made it implausible that none would uncover it.

Moreover, as the lords grew stronger, ordinary equipment would inevitably depreciate.

Although miscellaneous items, even if they increased in price, could never surpass the value of equipment, the eventual profit might dwindle to one or two magic crystals.

far inferior to the current t-fold price difference.

At that point, Bayou would no longer be able to collaborate with Xiaoli and Shua.

Such meager profits would hardly justify the time wasted as Bayu could have her troops hunting instead.

Suddenly, Bayou contemplated that with her current strength, perhaps she could take on the Howling Moon Silverwolf tribe.

Their tribe resided in the Snowy Mountains.

Though Bayou was uncertain of the precise location, she would need to send the undead to scout the area first, ensuring there were no dangers before taking action.

Furthermore, it was imperative to act at night to maximize resources.

Bayou recalled that highle wild monsters would appear during the night.

Yet, since she had annihilated the goblin tribe and the howling moon silver wolves had sought trouble with her once, they had since fallen silent.

Resolute, Bayou summoned the demon soul master and commanded it to fly to the snowy mountains to gather intelligence.

The demon soulmaster, being capable of flight and immune to physical attacks, was in a spectral state, making it difficult to detect at night.

Most importantly, it possessed intelligence and would not attract the eye of frost dragons.

Bayou dared not send Arthur forth.

Should misfortune strike and he encounter the frost giant dragon, it would spell trouble.

Moreover, Arthur's large stature made him an obvious target.

Once the lord of demons had ascertained the intelligence by your resolved to venture into the snowy mountains the following night to launch an assault on the howling moon silver wolves.

In truth, the night of the full moon would be ideal as all the howling moon silver wolves would transform into weirwolves, setting aside their combat prowess by you would gain a formidable cadre of allies.

However, the last full moon had only just passed, and the next would not occur for another month.

Time that Bayou could ill afford to waste.

Glancing at the system clock, she noted it was midnight.

Bayou stepped out from her chamber and made her way toward the barracks, eager to summon her troops before retiring for the night.

Necroantic crystal fully charged.

Shall the summoning commence immediately? Chapter 65.

Another monarch indeed.

While Bayou diligently cast a stroke of luck upon herself, her other hand firmly pressed the designated button.

Originally, Bayou intended to wait for Xiao Yianua to complete the equipment crafting, sell the acquired magic crystals, and subsequently upgrade the castle before proceeding with the summoning.

However, as the clock struck midnight, and Xiao Yianua had yet to respond, it seemed she would be waiting for quite some time.

Thus, Bayou resolved to complete the summoning herself before retiring for the night.

The crystal of the barracks radiated a verdant glow, filling the room with luminescence as 20 figures began to coalesce within the light.

Among them emerged a towering silhouette, roughly 3 m tall and resembling a gargoyle, yet distinctly humanoid and devoid of wings.

Bayou was certain this was an entirely new breed of soldier she had never encountered before.

A golden light had appeared.

Before Bayou's eyes materialized a figure crowned and clad in heavy armor, wielding a broadsword.

Yet within the armor resided no flesh, but a skeleton.

Its eyes blazed with a fiery red flame, setting it apart from other skeletal beings, exuding an indescribable aura of leadership.

The skeleton king by you instantly recognized it as the sovereign of the skeletal lineage.

The remaining 19 soldiers appeared rather diminished in comparison to the skeleton king, although among them were two bone dragons and two ghost dragons, which were commendable nonetheless.

The skeleton king, wielding his colossal sword, knelt on one knee in homage to Bayou, and the other undead followed suit, adopting a posture of submission.

We greet you, your majesty.

The wise undead spoke in unison to Bayou.

After gesturing for them to rise, Bayou eagerly examined the information pertaining to the skeleton king.

Skeleton King unnamed active skills.

Skeleton fall soul drain.

Skeleton fall summons numerous colossal skeleton heads enveloped in flames descending from the heavens to inflict area physical and magical damage.

Mana consumption.

20.

Soul drain absorbs the souls of all beings beneath its own level and proximity.

inflicting soul damage while simultaneously empowering itself.

Mana consumption 20.

Essentially, the abilities were akin to those of Arthur, except Arthur possessed one active skill and one passive skill upon summoning, while the skeleton king boasted two active skills, both of which consumed 20 mana points for area damage.

From now on, you shall be named Jon, and all skeletal soldiers shall fall under your command.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for the bestowed name.

Subsequently, Bayou led them to the Blackwater altar for enhancement, recalling that Arthur had acquired an additional skill during his enhancement, and she was certain Jon would not disappoint.

Bayou instructed Jon to enter for enhancement first, while the other undead awaited patiently.

After a full 15 minutes, Jon completed his enhancement.

Only then did Byou allow the remaining undead to proceed, opening the information of the Blackwater altar to observe Jon's transformation.

Enhancement.
