"Lost two boxes of ink, but compensated me with an inkwell. System god, awesome!"
Lei Chi first used the construction blueprints for the Ink Pool.
Quickly, a path appeared behind the mushroom hut. The path meandered, and flowers, trees and shrubs quickly grew on both sides, connecting the paths leading to the chicken farm and the slime camp.
Originally, the two paths were like piers, and the chicken farm and slime camp were like two small islands. Now the islands have merged to form a single landmass.
Lei Chi walked along the winding path, feeling a sense of secluded tranquility, and soon he saw the Ink Pond.
It was a small pond about half an acre in size, with several large blue stones on the edge, surrounded by bamboo groves, and attached to the back a pavilion and a thatched hut, with a stone table and stone benches in the pavilion.
The water in the ink pool is naturally black, but it has a unique elegance, with a light blue sheen and a pleasant ink fragrance.
Lei Chi found some small bamboo tubes next to the ink pool. He picked one up and examined it, discovering that each bamboo tube contained a box of ink.
"This Ink Pond is designed as a secluded retreat. Judging from the surrounding environment... will some powerful NPC come here to live in seclusion in the future?"
Lei Chi pondered silently. He had intended to visit the thatched cottage behind the Ink Pond, but found that the door was locked. After pushing it a few times, he received a system notification: "The Ink Pond Thatched Cottage is a secluded place; you cannot enter."
"Unable to enter? Could it really be reserved for some powerful NPCs?"
Lei Chi suddenly felt that this Ink Pool might be a very powerful building, but he couldn't figure it out at the moment. After a while, he left and used the [Militia Training Camp Construction Blueprint] next to the War Hall.
The blueprints unfolded and vanished into light, after which a tower-like building quickly appeared behind the War Hall.
That building is, of course, the [Militia Training Camp]. It's a dungeon-type building, square in shape, with an arched gate at the entrance. Once inside, you'll see a camp the size of a football field.
As Lei Chi entered the militia training camp, an information panel automatically popped up in front of him. This panel displayed all the units in the camp that could be trained as militiamen, except for one: the orc laborer Harley.
The so-called "training" is not real training, but a job change that costs gold coins. For just 5 gold coins, you can change the Orc laborer Harley into an Orc militiaman.
As for human slaves, they don't actually need to change jobs because they already have militia attributes. Their resurrection point has been automatically moved to the militia training ground, where they can move around in the future.
Skeleton miners, on the other hand, cannot become militia members.
"This time, the orc laborers really need to learn how to become militia!"
With a slight operation on the information panel, Lei Chi immediately converted the orc laborer into a militiaman.
"Ding! Congratulations! Orc peon Harley has successfully become a militiaman. His default respawn point has been moved to the militia training camp. If the camp is invaded or under the orders of the instructors, Orc peon Harley can transform into militiaman form and immediately gain an additional 200 health, 5 attack power, 2 armor, and 2 magic resistance. His level cap has been increased to LV15. He can gain experience points by participating in training at the militia training camp."
"Ding! No instructors have been assigned to the militia training camp yet. The camp functions cannot be activated!"
"Ding! Instructors can train militia members, which can improve their abilities, allowing them to break through their inherent level limits, change jobs, and mutate. Please assign an instructor as soon as possible. System recommendation: Beastman Militia member Harley."
Another appointment window popped up in front of Lei Chi. There were 31 people in the camp who could be appointed as militia training camp instructors. Apart from the 30 human slaves, the only other candidate was the orc laborer Harley.
"This orc laborer actually wants to be an instructor? Isn't that infuriating?"
Lei Chi then appointed the orc laborer Harley as an instructor in the militia training camp. The system recommended him for the position, probably because his level and surface stats were the highest.
In fact, Lei Chi didn't care who the instructors were. He even thought the worse the instructors were, the better. If they were really good instructors and trained elite soldiers, it would actually affect his insurance fraud plan.
After all, the militia are not monsters; they cannot "lie in wait"!
Since the orc laborer Harley and the 30 human slaves are still waiting to be resurrected, Leichi cannot see them training in the militia camp.
"I wonder how the orc laborers will train the militia. Will they teach them how to escape?"
Lei Chi also had a little expectation in his heart.
After a short rest, Lei Chi spent 100 gold coins to buy invasion insurance and casually put 600 gold coins into the gold mine treasure chest. He regrouped, set all the beast towers except for the [Azure Dragon] to stealth mode, and went to play in the defense tower arena. He played single-player battles until four in the morning without a single loss and earned more than two hundred gold coins.
"The agreed-upon time for the invasion with Lin Donglei and the others is almost here. It's time to go and draw their attention. I wonder if they'll be on time..."
Lei Chi muttered something to himself. He stopped fighting in the arena, made some preparations, and arrived at the guild hall a moment later.
Before long, Lin Donglei and the other three arrived and joined them.
"This is a brilliant opportunity to hack into the enemy!"
"Second-in-command, we'll follow your orders!"
"Brother Bao and the others should all be offline by now!"
"Second Master, I'm ready and can depart at any time..."
Seeing that the four were in good spirits, Lei Chi nodded and said, "Following me will give you a bright future. If you perform well today, I'll share some top-secret information with you! By the way, do you still have any more chances to send messages in the public chat group?"
"have!"
"some!"
"That's good! After dawn, you guys tag Zhao Zilong in the public chat group and call him a little trash. Let him come and beat me up if he's not happy. Keep tagging him every day, keep tagging him like crazy!"
"What?"
"Second-in-command, what kind of tactic is this?"
"A fight of pride, all for a woman?"
"I've looked into Zhao Zilong, and he seems to be a big shot!"
Lin Donglei and the other two were a little confused.
Lei Chi continued his lecture: "Do you remember my player ID? Memorize it from now on. If you see someone you don't like, just say my ID. As the vice guild leader, I'll back you up. Anyone who disagrees can come and fight me! Also, level up quickly. Once you reach level 15, I'll take you through the arena!"
