Staring at the dense wall of text that read like a short essay, Qin Feng, a veteran god of the gaming world, once again showed his professional expertise by distilling the core content into simple, easy-to-understand paragraphs.
For example.
The Blacksmith Shop could customize weapons and equipment.
Whether it was the Fire Foxes and Forest Wolves of his "Zoo," the mountain-sized Violent Bear Boss, or even his Little Owl, Shadow, who spent its days flying around in a state of Invisibility, they could all get exclusive equipment and weapons suited to their combat styles.
Based on Qin Feng’s many years of experience as a hardcore gamer.
He figured it would be something like equipping the Forest Wolves with Wolf-shaped Armor similar in structure to Horse Armor, then adding a set of Wolverine-style Iron Claws to drastically increase their physical defense and offense.
Then, he’d get the awakened Fire Foxes some sort of Magic Cloak capable of channeling the Fire Element, allowing them to summon a more powerful Fireball Technique and annihilate large groups of enemies as easily as a French cannon.
Next, he’d outfit the Violent Bear Boss in a suit of full-body Steel Armor, turning it into an invulnerable, ultimate tank that could rampage across the battlefield with crushing force.
Finally, he’d get the Little Owl a Small Combat Suit, something like an Invisibility Camouflage Suit, turning it into a Ghost Agent from StarCraft that could sneak deep behind enemy lines to carry out harassment missions...
How to actually do it all... well, that would depend on what the Blacksmith Masters in the Blacksmith Shop came up with.
However, it was worth noting that the Blacksmith Shop, like the other two soldier-producing buildings, had no limit on the number of villagers that could be trained.
This meant that Lord Players would have an enormous demand for Blacksmith Masters.
It was just like in the Real World, where a Military Factory for weapons had to schedule a large number of skilled workers for round-the-clock shifts just to mass-produce military armaments like tanks and airplanes.
’These mechanics...’
’Just thinking about it, this is going to be a huge money sink...’
’I wonder if the weapon makers from the Ratman Tribe can help the Blacksmith Masters in the Blacksmith Shop shoulder some of the manufacturing pressure...’
’Hmm...’
’I feel like they probably can...’
’After all, the Village Management module clearly stated that I need to find a way to increase the Ratman Village’s efficiency in developing new weapons...’
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feng shook his head, clearing his mind of the various thoughts that had surfaced, and brought his focus back to the present.
’Forget it. I’ll look into this problem later when I have time.’
’For now, I’ll just assign two villagers to become Blacksmith Masters and have them design a suit of Wolf-shaped Armor for the Forest Wolf Army—my most numerous soldiers—that’s best suited for charging.’
’It would be best if it could also be fitted with a Wolf Saddle, turning them into Wolf Mounts that can both fight and be ridden.’
Having made up his mind, Qin Feng immediately ordered two of the villagers on night watch to enter the Blacksmith Shop and change their profession to Blacksmith Master. He then told them to hurry back and get some sleep so they could start work first thing in the morning.
Afterward, Qin Feng turned his gaze to the nearby Archer Training Camp, recalling the building information he had just seen.
In short, as the starting ranged unit building that came with being a Divine Chosen Lord, the Archer Training Camp could not only train Zero-star (Green) rated Archer soldiers but also contained a dedicated training ground that could rapidly increase a Lord Player’s "Bow and Arrow Proficiency."
Although Qin Feng possessed the special "Bow Mastery" skill, which effectively made him the equivalent of a Legendary Archer who had practiced archery for decades, he had no need to waste time practicing.
However, his subordinate, Diablo, had a great need for this training ground.
After all, Diablo was still very young.
His archery skills were surely nowhere near Qin Feng’s level of consummate mastery.
In addition, there were the Ratman Fanatic Warriors captured by the "Riding and Cutting," and the Ratman Native Warriors controlled by "Village Management."
They could also use this professional archery training ground to quickly improve their archery skills and enhance their damage output with bows.
At the same time, thanks to the "training bonus" effect from the Archer Training Camp, which was imbued with the Power of Rules, their rate of growth in mastering archery skills would far surpass that of ordinary training in daily life, or even the epiphanies gained from life-and-death struggles on the battlefield.
’It seems the basic unit buildings that Lord Players start with will still be very useful in the late game.’
’If I get drops for other buildings in the future, like a Spearman Training Camp, a Swordsman Training Camp, or a Bow Cavalry Training Camp... I should still build all of them.’
’Especially the Bow Cavalry Training Camp.’
’That thing will definitely be an efficient way to improve my Mounted Archery Skills and take my kiting abilities to a whole new level.’
