When the four houses were completed, Meng Chen chose a suitable site in the open area and gave orders to build a hospital and a blacksmith shop.

"Gold -100, Wood (Gray) -100, Stone (Gray) -100, Metal (Gray) -10, Start building a hospital (Tier 1)! After 12 hours, the construction was complete! ”

"Gold -100, Wood (Gray) -100, Stone (Gray) -100, Metal (Gray) -10, start building a blacksmith (Tier 1)! After 12 hours, the construction was complete! ”

Since then, all the wood and stone in Meng Chen's resource space have been used up, leaving only 2,352 gold coins, 817 soul power, 10,000 units of grain, and 182 units of metal.

Even when the blacksmith shop was being built, there was still 1 unit of wood missing, and Meng Chen recovered 1 unit of wood from the lumber yard to fill this gap.

Note: Only resource space, or resources in warehouses, can be used by the city within the city limits.

"In two days, the swordsman instructor will be able to complete his training. There will definitely not be enough wood and stone at that time, and it seems that we will have to wait a while before we can go into battle! Meng Chen muttered.

On the fourth day after the city was founded, Meng Chen woke up early and escorted ten quarrymen to the quarry.

Although the quarry is only three kilometers away from the city hall, there are many beasts around, and if he is attacked by a beast and causes casualties, Meng Chen will definitely regret hitting the wall.

After returning from the quarry, Meng Chen recruited ten civilians again, and also sent them to the academy to train as quarrymen.

By this time, the hospital and blacksmith had been built, and the three seriously injured were taken to the hospital for treatment, which would take three days to recover.

With nothing to do, Meng Chen came to the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith is a stone building 30 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 5 meters high, which can accommodate ten blacksmiths working at the same time.

When Meng Chen walked into the blacksmith shop, the three blacksmiths greeted him respectfully, "Honorable lord, may I ask what can I serve you?" ”

Meng Chen asked, "What will you do?" ”

One of the blacksmiths replied, "My lord, we can smelt metal, repair and forge metal products!" ”

"Oh? Then you build a weapon and let me see it! Meng Chen said curiously.

"Yes! Lord, please wait! The blacksmith nodded.

At this moment, a message popped up from the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "Silver Coin -1, Metal -1!" ”

Immediately, a hundred iron ingots appeared out of thin air in the blacksmith's shop, each weighing about ten kilograms.

The blacksmith picks up an iron ingot and throws it into the furnace to heat it.

Half an hour later, the blacksmith pulled the red-hot ingot out of the furnace and began to pound back and forth on the anvil.

The entire forging process lasted nearly two hours, and the final product was an iron sword with a length of about one meter and four.

Meng Chen looked at the attributes of the long sword through the light curtain in his mind.

Normal Longsword (Gray)

Sharp: D

Rugged: D

Toughness: D

Note: This is just an ordinary longsword, you can't expect it to be so good!

Meng Chen asked helplessly, "Is this the best equipment you can forge?" ”

The blacksmith replied respectfully, "My lord, if there is white quality metal, I can forge a refined long sword. ”

Meng Chen nodded and said to the three blacksmiths, "Your task during this time is to forge thirty long swords, thirty shields, and thirty sets of armor!" ”

The three blacksmiths bowed and said, "Yes!" Your Lord! ”

Subsequently, Meng Chen received a message again, "Silver Coin -1, Metal -1!" ”

Note: A sword costs 10 kg of metal, a shield costs 10 kg of metal, and a set of armor costs 20 kg of metal.

When leaving the blacksmith shop, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "A blacksmith can forge five long swords, or five shields, or two sets of armor every day. This batch of equipment should be completed in ten days. ”

The reason why Meng Chen asked the three blacksmiths to go all out to build weapons and equipment was naturally to prepare for the upcoming sword soldier species.

Compared to a swordsman who only needs a blacksmith to meet the needs of equipment, a shooter needs a carpenter's longbow, a leather armor needs a tanner's shop, an arrows needs a blacksmith's shop, and a bowstring needs a slaughterhouse. For Meng Chen, who was short of resources in the early stage, it was too troublesome to get together a set of shooter's equipment.

Due to the lack of wood and stone, Meng Chen did not build any buildings today.

In the evening, Meng Chen went to the quarry again and escorted the ten quarrymen back to the residence.

On the fifth day after the city was founded, Meng Chen summoned 10 civilians and sent them to the academy to train as lumberjacks.

Due to the lack of wood and stone, Meng Chen naturally had nothing to do again.

Although it is possible to obtain resources for emergency purposes through masturbation, the cost of doing so is too high, and Meng Chen would rather wait a few days.

Seeing the plants sprouting one after another, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "Spring is coming!" When the swordsman recruitment is completed, the plantation must be built as soon as possible, otherwise the food will be out of food in three months! ”

According to the setting in the game, it takes 100 days from sowing to harvesting.

In other words, in these 100 days, Meng Chen could only live by saving grain.

Of course, Meng Chen can also fill the gap in food through other means.

At this moment, a message popped up in the light curtain in his mind, "Swordsman Instructor 2, training is complete!" ”

Meng Chen's spirits lifted and he immediately came to the academy.

I saw that two burly swordsman instructors with a strong temperament were already standing quietly outside the academy.

After discovering Meng Chen, the two swordsman instructors greeted respectfully, "Lord Lord, may I ask what instructions there is!" ”

After looking at the two swordsman instructors, Meng Chen said, "Come with me and change your equipment!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! The two swordsman instructors bowed.

On the way to the blacksmith shop, Meng Chen checked the attributes of the two swordsman instructors through the light curtain in his mind.

Civilian Number: 0015

Loyalty: 80

Condition: Good

Class: Swordsman Instructor

Level: Tier 1

Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 3, Intelligence 2

Skills: Teaching Lv1, Basic Swordsmanship Lv1, Basic Block Lv1, Slash Lv1.

"There are actually four skills, and it really deserves to be a high-level commodity that consumes 2 points of soul power and 10 gold coins to recruit!" Meng Chen said secretly in his heart.

After arriving at the blacksmith shop, Meng Chen instructed a blacksmith, "Take two long swords, two shields, and two sets of armor and change them into them." ”

"Yes! Your Lord! The blacksmith bowed.

When the two swordsman instructors changed their equipment, they looked more imposing than before.

However, Meng Chen was not satisfied with this set of equipment, whether it was a long sword, a round shield, or a full set of scale armor, it was just ordinary equipment of gray quality.

Wearing this set of equipment, it can be of some use when encountering ordinary beasts, but if you encounter fierce beasts, it is completely similar to paper paste.

Due to the lack of wood and stone, it was not possible to build a swordsman training ground for the time being, so Meng Chen could only order two swordsman instructors to be stationed in the quarry and the lumber yard respectively.
