Morning came, and X left his house and headed to the Alchemy Hall.
After three hours, he left the Alchemy Hall and headed to the blacksmith's workshop.
He then headed to a teleportation circle with 20 people, 10 women and 10 men, all of whom had reached the Soldier Level 1 level.
These people would manage the shops he would open in the Great Green Mountain City.
X and his followers used the teleportation circle and headed to the Great Green Mountain City.
X headed to his weapons shop and entered. The shop was closed.
X left five men and five women in the weapons shop to arrange the weapons in the shop.
X brought brown, green, blue, and red weapons.
X Village possessed many red-grade weapons.
This is because all the caves in X Village possess red-grade minerals, and the quality of the minerals is due to the core of the village chief's house. The more wives he had, the higher the quality of the minerals.
A brown-grade weapon costs between 5 and 20 Iron Coins.
A green-grade weapon is worth between 20 and 50 Iron Coins.
A blue-grade weapon is worth between 1 and 20 Bronze Coins.
A red-grade weapon is worth between 20 and 50 Bronze Coins.
X then headed to the restaurant, leaving the rest of the staff to tidy up the restaurant as he left.
X headed to a large building in the center of town. There was a sign reading "Soldier Rental."
This building rents soldiers to nobles.
A 3rd-grade Marquis can obtain 15 Soldier-level soldiers, and a 2nd-grade Marquis can obtain 30 Soldier-level soldiers.
A 1st-grade Marquis can obtain 30 Soldier-level soldiers, and 5 Knight-level soldiers.
X entered the Soldier Rental Building and headed to the host's office.
"I want to rent some soldiers," he said.
The hostess looked at X and said, "Sir, can I see your rank?"
X showed his rank to the hostess. A green screen appeared in front of the hostess. She was surprised to see that X needed 140 achievement points to reach the rank of Marquis, Grade 2.
This was so fast. It hadn't even been a month before someone had reached this rank so quickly.
The hostess said with a smile, "Mr. Marquis, I'll inform my boss. Wait here." X said, "Okay."
The hostess quickly walked up the stairs, smiling.
Three minutes later, the hostess returned and said, "Mr. Marquis, I'll take you to my boss."
X and the hostess headed toward the stairs and climbed them. This building has ten floors.
X and the hostess stopped in front of a door labeled "President's Office."
The hostess knocked on the door and said, "Mr. President, I've brought the Marquis."
A male voice said from behind the door, "Come in."
The hostess opened the door and X entered, and X entered as well.
When X entered, he saw a man with brown hair and green eyes, 170 cm tall.
A man stepped forward and said, "Mr. Marquis, I'm Lu Q, the head of the Soldier Rental Building."
Lu Q extended his hand to shake X's. X shook Lu Q's hand and said, "I'm ZD. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. President."
Lu Q smiled and said, "Please have a seat, Mr. Marquis ZD."
X sat on a large chair made of fine leather and lined with cotton.
Lu Que sat on a similar chair in front of X and asked, "Mr. Marquis ZD, how many soldiers do you want?"
X said, "I want 15 soldiers. I'll pay now."
Lu Que smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis ZD, one soldier costs 20 iron coins per month, which means 3 bronze coins per month."
X took out three bronze coins from inside a storage ring and placed them on a table.
"Okay, Mr. Marquis ZD, I'll select the best soldiers at the Soldier level." Lu Que smiled and said,
He gathered three bronze coins and placed them in a storage ring.
X said, "I also want resources of brown, green, blue, red, and even purple."
Lu Que smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Marquis ZD."
X then selected 15 soldiers at the peak Soldier level.
Then he headed to the weapons store and left five soldiers. Then he headed to the restaurant and left 10 soldiers to guard the door.
An hour later, several people stood in front of the restaurant door.
In front of the restaurant, there was a sign saying, "Seeking a cook: 2 coins per hour, waiter: 1 coin per hour."
All these people had gathered to get a job there.
One iron coin is worth 10F, which means they can earn 10 iron coins per day, or at least 8 iron coins per day for a waiter.
This means 100F, or 80F per day, in Earth currency.
For a cook, they can earn double that, and they'll become rich.
One iron coin can also be sold to families, organizations, sects, or clans for even more, perhaps as much as 20F per iron coin.
For ordinary people, this amount of money is a lot, but for Village X, it's nothing.
Village X can produce 50 silver coins per day, which is a lot even for Legendary Cities.
Creation Core-level monsters can drop 1 to 5 Iron Coins.
Soldier-level monsters can drop 5 to 20 Iron Coins.
Knight-level monsters can drop 20 to 50 Iron Coins.
Commander-level monsters can drop 1 to 10 Bronze Coins.
A low-level General-level monster can drop 20 to 50 Bronze Coins.
A medium-level General-level monster can drop 1 to 10 Silver Coins.
The City Chief has a medium General-level training level, so he can kill a medium-level General-level monster.
However, medium-level General-level monsters are rare; you can find them in the Green Multi-Mountains section.
However, you'll find them with a herd of monsters. Monsters can command other monsters when they reach Commander-level. For example, the Earth Bear that X killed had 10 Brown Bears, two of which were Knight-level.
Then the restaurant door opened, and those who wanted to pass the cook and waiter exams entered.
The first one would be the cook exam, and the cook began cooking.
X sat on a chair at a long table in front of him. Next to him sat a man with brown hair and green eyes, 180 cm tall, and muscular. This was Chef Qu, the supreme leader of the X Village Restaurant.
On the other side, there was a woman with brown hair and blue eyes, a man with black hair and yellow eyes, and a woman with purple hair and pink eyes.
The job of the restaurant's cooking general.
They were all here to evaluate these people's cooking. Everyone who cooked was from Earth, and you could call them the Player.
The people of Earth called themselves the Player. X laughed when he heard that.
Ordinary people thought this world was just a game to them.
Because even if they died, they would only lose their training and belongings, so this world was just a game.
Families, organizations, clans, and sects would support this. As he thought, this was how they gained money and power.
There were even some people who sold village-building stones, tools, herbs, and rare materials just for money.
X looked at a cook cooking. A woman caught his attention from among the cooks. This woman was wearing a veil covering her face.
X felt the same sensation he had when he first met Wong Ke.
The woman was cooking quietly and with great precision.
Chef Ko also looked at the woman when he saw X looking at him, surprised by the precision and elegance of his cooking.
While Judge Three looked at the man cooking with such exquisite precision and elegance.
After half an hour, everyone finished cooking. A line was formed, and the judges began with their opinion.
Each of the three judges praised the contestant's cooking and also expressed their opinion.
But Chef Ko would throw away the food as soon as he tasted it, calling it disgusting, or a cooking novice, or simply not knowing anything about cooking.
X didn't say anything; he just tasted the food. Then two people remained: a man and a woman.
The first man, the three judges, tasted the dish that this man had made.
This dish had a beautiful and wonderful appearance. Each of the three judges looked at the dish with excitement.
But Chef Ko looked at them angrily, and X looked at them with a smile.
A man said, "My name is Lin Dun."
The first referee started. As soon as he put the spoon in his mouth, he vomited.
Both Lin Dun and the referee were surprised. Chef Ku looked at the referee angrily, and X laughed.
The second referee also vomited.
Lin Dun looked scared, while the referee looked surprised. Chef Ku looked angrily at the second referee, and X smiled.
The third referee then vomited. He also vomited when he put the spoon in his mouth.
Lin Dun looked at the referee in resignation, while Chef Ku grew even more angry. X laughed.
Then it was Chef Ku's turn. Chef Ku put the spoon in his mouth and, after removing it, said, "You can feel better in the future. I'll give you a vote."
The entire encampment, except for X and the woman, were surprised. Lin Dun said, crying, "Thank you, sir."
Then X also ate Lin Dun's food without saying a word, nor did he vomit.
Then it was the woman's turn. Both X and Chef Kuo looked excitedly at the dish the woman had prepared.
The woman said, "My name is Aria Zhao."
