The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 6-10

Chapter 6: Goblins

It was morning when Zhao Fu entered the Heaven Awaken World again. This time, Zhao Fu summoned fourteen people: eight males and six females, and seven of them could fight. There was also a B grade villager among them, a white-haired elder, and Zhao Fu immediately changed his profession to Scholar.

As for what he was to research, because crop output was not a problem due to the Village’s special stats, Zhao Fu had the elder choose Taming. If they could obtain the Taming skill, they would be able to tame some wild beasts and start developing livestock.

Now that they had houses, they had more safety and could start farming. Zhao Fu did not do this himself, and he instead left it to Li Si. Zhao Fu brought Bai Qi along and took the few weapons in the Smithy. They started to patrol the surrounding area to see if there were any dangers or resources.

On the way, Zhao Fu and his super-bodyguard Bai Qi killed a few wild rabbits and two wolves. They only dropped copper coins, and the wild rabbits only dropped one copper coin each, while the wolves dropped three to four copper coins each.

Suddenly, the grasses shook as a rabbit that was a little bit bigger than the dog appeared. It had flame-red fur and was not cute like most rabbits. Instead, it looked quite ugly, and there was a savage and vicious look in its eyes.

Bai Qi threw down the rabbit and wolf corpses he was holding and blocked the path in front of Zhao Fu.

At this moment, the rabbit opened its mouth and fire elemental essence gathered in its mouth, forming a fireball. Following this, it flicked its head upwards as the fireball rushed towards Zhao Fu.

While facing the fireball, Bai Qi said seriously, “Your Majesty! Please retreat for a moment!”

Zhao Fu nodded. Fighting was not his strength, so he wasn’t going to bring trouble to himself.

The fireball flew over, and a hint of sword qi covered Bai Qi’s sword as he slashed the fireball.

Bang!!

The fireball exploded into sparks, not injuring Bai Qi in the slightest.

Zhao Fu sighed in amazement when he saw this. SSS grade characters were indeed quite powerful. In just a short period of time, Bai Qi’s cultivation had already greatly increased.

Following this, the rabbit once again shot out a few fireballs towards Bai Qi, but he easily evaded all of them. Bai Qi was not only SSS grade, but his stats were also incredibly high, and he had a buff from his Title and Profession, making him quite strong.

The rabbit started to look irritated when he saw that its fireballs were unable to hit Bai Qi. It leaped up and opened its mouth, revealing 2 sharp fangs as it tried to bite Bai Qi.

Bai Qi coldly harrumphed and turned his body as he stabbed it with his sword. Blood flew through the air as the sword pierced through the rabbit’s throat, killing it instantly.

“System announcement! Your General has killed an Elite magic beast, the Violent Flame Rabbit, and has gained 6 Achievement Points.”

“System announcement! You have gained 3 Achievement Points.”

So it was an Elite magic beast. magic beasts were variants of normal creatures, and they had stronger bodies as well as magic. For example, the Violent Flame Rabbit could shoot fireballs.

Killing Elite magic beasts or above gave Achievement Points, as did attacking other Villages. Achievement Points are mainly used to raise one’s status. In order to raise the level of one’s village, he or she needs to have a certain status. For example, in order to raise his village to an Intermediate Village, Zhao Fu’s status needed to be at least Citizen, but he was only a Commoner right now.
