"Roar!!!" The king of the jungle stood on the rock and roared at Rimuru.
Even through the screen, Lincoln could hear the timidity in the tiger's roar.
There was no way around it.
Even if this Siberian tiger was the king of the nearby forest area, an ordinary wild beast was just an ordinary wild beast.
Its combat power value would not exceed 10 points at most.
It was only a little stronger than first - or second - level militiamen.
Not to mention Rimuru, whose combat power value exceeded 70 points, even a militia team could easily take it down.
Rimuru bounced on the ground , not putting the tiger in front of it in the slightest.
At Lincoln's order, the soft ball leaped up, its speed so fast that it was a blur.
The Siberian tiger didn't even have time to react.
With a loud "thud", it was crushed to death on the rock by Rimuru's bottom.
There was no expected gory scene because the whole tiger was "absorbed" into Rimuru's soft body.
[Ding! Your hero Rimuru has successfully killed the Siberian tiger. The lord gains 20 experience points, and the hero gains 20 experience points!]
[Ding! Your hero Rimuru has absorbed the Siberian tiger. Strength + 1]
It was easy to get 20 experience points. Lincoln was already used to it.
Rimuru's level was still stuck at level 2 and couldn't be raised.
Don't think that the Siberian tiger gave 20 experience points.
It was because the Siberian tiger was the "king" nearby.
Lincoln had taken Rimuru for a big walk in the jungle around the territory.
Most of the wild beasts were little deer, hares and the like. These small wild beasts had no attack power and couldn't provide them with experience points.
"It's a bit slow..." But there was nothing he could do.
In the early stage of [Sweet Home], it was like this, which gave players the illusion that it was a casual game.
However, the lack of wild - monster resources didn't mean there were no other resources.
"Ball, go! Knock that boulder open for me!" Lincoln directly ordered.
"Ball" was the nickname he gave to Rimuru because Rimuru looked like a soft, unknown liquid ball.
The ball made a sound and suddenly rammed into the stone mine that Lincoln was pointing at.
Boom!!! Not only was a big pit knocked out of the stone mine, but also the stones on the mountain rolled down one after another.
The ball very considerately stretched out a "hand" from its liquid body to block the falling stones for Lincoln.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have discovered a primary Iron Ore Mine. Please send laborers to mine it in time!]
"Bingo!" Lincoln snapped his fingers. His memory was correct. There was indeed an iron ore mine in the territory guarded by the Siberian tiger.
"Let's get to work!" With a wave of his hand, the villagers started to move.
Half of the population deeply cleaned and mined the rough mine cave, and the other half started to build a temporary mine site.
Once it was completely built, this would be Lincoln's private mine site. Once someone invaded this area, he would receive a prompt.
A primary mine site could not only provide Lincoln with a large amount of iron ore resources but also increase the upper limit of iron ore storage.
Generally speaking, a village - level iron ore mine without an upgrade could hold 200,000 units of iron ore when full.
Of course, it was not an easy thing to mine 200,000 units of iron ore.
With a full - labor - force, the villagers had to work for three months to mine 200,000 units of iron ore.
Even with the VIP bonus, it would still take a full month to fill the warehouse.
The several mine sites and logging yards that Lincoln currently owned also took him most of a month to fill the warehouses.
During this period, he also bought some resource packages.
"It's still not enough. Keep going!" After dealing with this ore source, Lincoln took the ball to search for more ore sources.
The earlier he occupied them, the earlier he could enjoy the benefits.
The more ore sources he had, the higher the upper limit of the supplies he could accumulate, and the faster the development speed of his territory would be.
His goal was to occupy all the ore sources near the territory, and this was just the beginning...
However, Lincoln didn't know that while he was busy, the chat channel of [Sweet Home] was bustling because of him.
"Where did this tycoon come from? He recharged more than ten million in less than a day. This is so terrifying!"
"Haha, didn't you see his name? I'm a Big Spender. What a flashy name!"
"Recharging ten million right from the start. Who else but a big spender could do that?"
"Amazing! I saw this big shot collecting recruitment orders on the public channel yesterday, and today he's already second on the wealth list. How awesome!"
"Big Spender, are you there? Please take me in. I'm 170 cm tall, and I have 108 sets of black stockings and JK uniforms. I'm good at cross - dressing and speaking in a Girl voice."
"..."
Originally, the atmosphere in the chat channel was still normal until a player named [I Dominate All] said, "A bunch of fools.
This guy is obviously a shill, and yet so many of you are flattering him."
Someone in the channel quickly refuted him.
"I think you're the fool! Are you just making up that he's a shill out of thin air?"
"Yeah, you're just talking nonsense. The Internet isn't a law - free zone. Show us the evidence!"
[I Dominate All]: "Do you guys have any brains? Does this even need evidence?"
"This guy was collecting recruitment orders on the public channel yesterday, and today he's second on the wealth list. What else could he be but a shill?"
As soon as he said this, many players realized something.
"Yeah. Could this be a shill hired by the official to promote the new version?"
"Maybe. Even the number one on the wealth list didn't recharge more than ten million in a single day. This kind of recharging intensity is very much like that of a shill."
"So blatant? The official's operation is so confusing. Is this how they treat a new game?"
"Damn it! @I'm a Big Spender. Come out and take the blame!"
"Shills should die! Let the official come out and take the blame. We strongly demand that the shill delete his account!!!"
"Shills, get out of the game. Otherwise, we'll collectively demand a refund of our recharges!"
"Guys, who can understand this? Even a casual game has become so competitive. It's so annoying..."
The players immediately got angry and started to condemn Lincoln on the public channel.
Just then, a message flashing with colorful lights suddenly appeared in the chat channel, interrupting the players' condemnation.
[Light of Civilization]: "You're just talking nonsense! The Big Spender I know isn't such a person!"
As soon as this message appeared, the messages on the public channel paused briefly, and then the chat channel exploded!
"Damn it! What did I see? A VIP8 message with a flashing light!!!"
"My God! Light of Civilization! This is the number one on the Yanguo wealth list!!"
"I've lived a long time. I've been playing this game for almost half a month, and this is the first time I've seen the number one on the wealth list appear."
"Woohoo. Does the thigh of this tycoon still need a little hanger - on?"
"Damn it. My eyes were almost blinded. What a lack of public morality... Oh, it's the number one on the wealth list. Never mind then."
"Does the number one and the number two on the wealth list know each other? Does it mean that [I'm a Big Spender] isn't a shill?"
"Who said someone was a shill just now? Come out and take the blame!"
"Laughable. A bunch of people really got led astray by the rhythm."
"Someone's jealous. Someone's jealous, but I'm not saying who."
"..."
Ordinary people were easily led astray by the rhythm.
As soon as Alice showed up, the wind direction in the public chat channel changed immediately.
However, there were still some people who weren't going to let Lincoln off.
[I Dominate All]: "You say you know him? Do you think I can't see that you're also a shill? Recharging thirty million in a casual game? Who are you kidding!"
Alice, who was sitting in the villa, swinging her long legs and looking at the public channel, was suddenly so angry when she saw this message.
But before she could reply, someone quickly retorted in the chat channel.
[Sea Buckthorn]: "Oh dear. Someone's jealous, but I'm not saying who."
[Sea Buckthorn]: "Can't be true! Is there still someone jealous of the rich these days? It's not like he spent your money. What's the point of being a jealous person?"
[Sea Buckthorn]: "By the way, I know both of the big shots on the wealth list.
The number two big shot placed an order worth millions with me yesterday. PS: It was a deal made with real - world currency in the exchange. [Transaction Screenshot.JPG]"
