The immediate goal is to upgrade the territory and troop buildings as quickly as possible to enhance the territory's strength.
Only then will there be enough confidence to emerge victorious in the first wave of beast tides after the beginner protection period ends.
As for digging up treasures or blueprints from mining, Xiao Mo is not in a hurry for now.
Firstly, the Immortal-Demon team is not suited for mining; their efficiency is far inferior to hunting monsters.
Secondly, the probability of finding treasures, blueprints, or other items through mining is not high, so there is no need to waste time on it.
When the Immortal-Demon team grows larger in the future, perhaps a portion of the Immortal-Demon troops can be assigned to mining.
For now, it's best to hunt monsters more to acquire resources!
As long as resources are abundant, both troop buildings and the Immortal-Demon territory will upgrade rapidly!
Thinking of resources, Xiao Mo recalled the low-level equipment piled up in the warehouse, which looked like junk.
Opening the warehouse and looking at the scene before him, Xiao Mo's brows slightly furrowed.
The low-level equipment had already been sorted and categorized.
Most importantly, a prompt message appeared.
The general meaning was that this low-level equipment could enhance troop strength, be equipped, or traded.
Without a second thought, Xiao Mo directly extracted them, preparing to list them on the trading platform.
Each soldier in the Immortal-Demon team comes equipped with a full set of gear.
Whether it's weapons or armor, they are all top-tier items.
This low-level or even defective equipment is vastly inferior to what the Immortal-Demon soldiers wear, like trash compared to treasure.
However, just because his own Immortal-Demon team doesn't need them doesn't mean other lords' troops don't.
Although it's low-level equipment, it can still enhance troop strength.
Especially for lords with humanoid troops, these items are invaluable.
"Truly fragrant!!!"
Xiao Mo clicked lightly, slightly grimacing. The equipment dropped by these Minotaurs was really not great.
All of it was ground from stone, including greatswords, axes, spears, and quite a few bows.
As for armor and protective gear, they were mostly made of animal hides and vines.
However, it was still a complete set!
Two minutes later, a new trading message was posted on the [Myriad Races Trading Platform].
[Weapons, armor, and other equipment bundled for auction!]
[Equipment Tier: Low-Level Equipment]
[Equipment Origin: Indigenous forces of the Primordial Continent, can enhance humanoid troop strength! (Click to view specific equipment information)]
[Auctionable Resources: Wood, Stone, Iron Essence]
[Auction Duration: Four hours]
[Fair competition, highest bidder wins!]
[Buy quickly, no refunds!]
...
As soon as this message was released, the entire [World Chat Channel] erupted into chaos.
Many lords eagerly opened the trading platform, browsing the transaction details and equipment information.
Then, these lords began to calculate in their hearts.
Never mind that these equipment tiers are only low-level, some of them are even like broken junk.
The sheer quantity made up for it!
There were at least seven to eight hundred pieces of weapons and armor, and over a hundred bows.
Combined, these could easily form at least two to three hundred sets.
Most importantly, this equipment could improve troop strength!
If these weapons and armor could be obtained, the combat power of humanoid troops would be effectively improved.
[Holy crap! So awesome!]
[All this equipment is from the Torun tribe's Minotaurs! They must have gone on a killing spree!]
[I strongly suspect that Lord Qianmo went to wipe out a Minotaur tribe!]
[Those orcs must have been strong, right?]
[More than strong! They are incredibly powerful! Just yesterday, my War Wolf squad was being hacked at by several Minotaurs with great axes. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been wiped out!]
[Damn! If you say so, Lord Qianmo actually wiped out so many Minotaurs, then his strength... hmmm!!!]
[This seems to be the first time anyone has traded equipment, right? And in an auction format!]
[How many firsts has Lord Qianmo broken? Come on, everyone, let's calculate!]
[Look at them, truly worthy of being the recognized big boss. When they act, they act with grand gestures!]
[Of course! Lord Qianmo is definitely the strongest among billions of lords!]
[Lord Qianmo! Please accept this humble follower's kowtow!]
[Same as above! This humble follower is in awe of Lord Qianmo!]
[Worship Lord Qianmo!]
[... ]
While many lords were paying homage to Xiao Mo, the next messages completely shifted the tone.
A strong sense of envy permeated the chat channel.
[What is all this garbage! A pile of defective goods, and you dare to auction it!]
[Selling inferior goods as high-quality! Still the same black-hearted merchant's facade!]
[Exactly! The Torun tribe's Minotaurs were just expelled by the Orc race, considered low-tier on the Primordial Continent. What good stuff could they have?]
[As one of the top lords, to do such a thing is truly despicable!]
[Right! Didn't you see there were many defective items mixed in with the equipment? What's the use of buying them?]
[In any case, I will definitely not make this transaction!]
It was obvious from what these people said that they were sour grapes.
Where there are haters, there are naturally Xiao Mo's loyal fans who retort.
[Oh ho! Who are these Mr. Big shots popping out from? You've got a strong bite!]
[Just a bunch of people who can't get it and then complain it's sour. All talk, no action!]
[Well, maybe their humanoid troops have divine weapons, so they don't care about these little things!]
[Heh heh... So impressive! Everyone has a divine "sword"! Invincible in the world, my dear!]
[What a bunch of short-sighted fools! Your humanoid troops right now might as well be picking up sticks!]
[Hahaha, maybe they're wearing animal skins and waving sticks, going 'ao ao ao'! ]
[But honestly, this equipment is truly a timely rain. For the beginner stage, this is practically divine!]
[Who says not? At least we don't have to go out and hunt with bare hands! Efficiency can be greatly improved!]
[Four more days! Seven days until the beast tide. With this equipment, the chance of survival in the beast tide has greatly increased!]
[If you're jealous, just say it directly, why be so passive-aggressive here!]
[Exactly! There are always people who can't stand to see others do well, yet act like they're defending justice, it's disgusting!]
[Let's not join these idiots' clamor, it'll just lower our IQ!]
[Arrogant! Ignorant mice! You are all garbage!]
Indeed, the power of the masses is immense.
After just this wave of virtual scolding, the haters were silenced, diving into the background, watching the messages and seething with anger.
Xiao Mo merely chuckled at all this.
Why bother caring about what others say?
No matter where you are, there will always be people who are envious of others and spew nonsense with a straight face.
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and the most important thing is to improve one's own strength.
These people can only watch if they dislike him. If he really can't stand their babbling, he can find an opportunity to eliminate them.
Why should he pay attention to them?
After a chuckle, Xiao Mo closed the [World Chat Channel] and continued his leisurely, god-like life.
...
Meanwhile, on the [Myriad Races Trading Platform], many lords were frantically bidding, and the prices kept rising.
Most importantly, many people clearly understood the importance of this batch of equipment and were bidding frequently, determined to win some of it.
Just as it was said in the chat channel earlier, so what if the equipment tier is low?
Given the current situation, this equipment is undoubtedly a divine artifact.
Even if some people try their best to smear and slander it, the world will never lack those with discerning eyes.
