I Am A Legendary BOSS

Chapter 181: Beginning Of A Golden Age

On the first three days on Stormy Island.

Humans and the native silver-backed monkeys showed friendliness towards each other.

It was a good beginning.

The silver-backed monkeys did not have the habit of eating the cloud-gulping pythons, and hence, they did not carry off the carcasses. It was highly beneficial to the City of Dawn.

“There are 33 cloud-gulping python’s carcasses. 1 is Advanced, 13 are Intermediate, and the rest are novice-level. We can produce 200 sets of high-quality equipment from them. The carcasses basically have been obtained for free.” William stroked his chin in excitement as he pondered whether he was a bad guy.

The magical beasts’ skin, scale, and teeth could be used to create Gold-quality equipment for a legion...

So what?

It was awesome!

In any legion, Gold-quality equipment was considered first-rate equipment. Even empires could not afford to give a legion dark Gold-quality equipment.

If a legion possessed those along with Advanced bloodlines, it would be invincible in the southeastern region...

What about inciting the magical beasts to fight among themselves?

And reaping the benefits of the aftermath?

“If I cause two tribes of magical beasts to fight, I’ll be rich if I use the space ring to transport all the carcasses!

Stormy Island is so resource-rich, especially with rare ore mines. If I can occupy half of it... no, even if it’s 10%...

“I can keep the City of Dawn safe from the Darkness invasion.” William had a lot of brilliant ideas.

What about the future?

William thought about the slow reproduction rate of the magical beasts.

He decided not to do it.

“It’s important to have sustainable development. I can have short term gains, but there will be a lot of disadvantages if the magical beasts die off now!” William pondered over the consequences.

The disadvantages were obvious.

The magical beasts on Stormy Island were in equilibrium.

If the equilibrium was broken, it would be like a fuse had been lit. The magical beasts would start endless fights over territories and would cause the demise of the tribes.

As all the magical beasts strove for territory, they would be killing off the weak!

The war between the silver-backed monkeys and the cloud-gulping pythons was caused by overpopulation and lack of resources. Hence, they had started a war of attrition to trim the population.

Even the BOSS of the cloud-gulping pythons was sick of fighting. Winning or losing the war was not of any consequence.

The BOSS of the cloud-gulping pythons was powerful. If it did not die, the tribe would not be wiped out. The other tribes did not dare to attack the pythons.

Both sides did not want a third party to reap the benefits of their war. They had been surviving on the island for a long time and were getting wiser!

If most of the magical beasts died, they would not be able to train his soldiers in the future.

Moreover, William was unable to carry all the carcasses of the dead magical beasts using the space ring. Sooner or later, the carcasses would rot.

The flesh of magical beasts was one of the important sources of gaining experience points. Besides training hard, the NPCs had to eat a lot of flesh of the magical beasts and take magic potions.

That was why ‘Gods’ was so interesting. Professionals had to rely on various precious herbs and minerals to become stronger.

Those with good bloodlines had good endowments, and training would help them improve even faster.

Those with inferior bloodlines would gain less from training.

They could not gain levels as fast as the players. The players could only do missions or hunt monsters to rapidly rise through the levels.

With an Advanced bloodline, the professionals’ endowments would be exceptional. They would have the same upgrading speed as the players had. That was the reason why players were not so arrogant in the later part of the game.

The professionals who were Grandmaster-level and above could level up faster than the players, provided they had the required resources.

And if they did not perish prematurely...

Then they would be very powerful in the later stages...

After the Dark World, the magical power of the world would slowly be activated and become stronger!

That would cause more people to have better endowments...

It was a great era for magic.

It was the golden time for battle energy.

This was the beginning of the fourth era.

It was an exciting era. It seemed like there were a lot of chosen ones. But to the countless genius-like professionals, the chosen ones appeared mediocre.

The enemies that the players would encounter in the later stages were nothing like the inferior monsters in the southeastern region...

At that time, the players would explore deep into the Legendary continent, boundless oceans, and even the Dark World...

When various wars erupted!

When thick magical powers engulfed the entire continent!

The empires, nations, and grand duchies would have to train their soldiers rapidly.

At that moment, all the races would have to fight for their future.

At that moment, the ruler of the fourth era would still be unknown.

At that moment, the race that would conquer the continent would provide the professionals with their stockpiled resources.

Because... they wanted to be the rulers of the fourth era!

Moreover, professionals would have powerful armies. Hence, the lives of the players would only get more and more difficult.

It would not be as easy going as before...

William cringed when he thought about it...

“I thought I’m a prince... Now, I almost feel like a loser. I’m so poor that I feel like killing myself.”

He did not have enough things going for him. The location of the City of Dawn was very good, especially when there were many rare ore mines. But the resources of the city were too inferior.

“Hmm, I’ll have to take it slowly. I’ll have to occupy Stormy Island and make it my reserve land.”

He sighed. He had to accumulate resources slowly. As a powerful ruler, he should not go for short term gains unless he was in dire situations.

He could not afford to underestimate the magical beasts on Stormy Island.

William had just attained the Advanced. Since his lucky stars were adamant about not helping him, he had to flee if he encountered Advanced magical beasts!

Magical beasts were not intelligent races.

They had huge bodies, and their Health Points were atrociously large.

Though they had critical spots that would result in an instant kill, they could also deal fatal blows to William...

“There are not many foolish creatures like the cloud-gulping pythons...” William glanced at the carcasses of the cloud-gulping pythons. A few rangers were skinning and cutting the flesh of the carcasses. The huge scales on the carcasses had been removed while the long sharp teeth were extracted.

Empty wine barrels were filled with fresh blood. Mages would seal and protect the blood using magic.

These expensive materials would be brought back to the city via Dawn Vessel. Then they would be used by the Dwarven blacksmiths to create high-quality armor and weapons. The next legion would be transported to the island by Dawn Vessel.

Without a doubt, 3,000 soldiers were not able to create any significant effect. William required at least two legions to gain a firm foothold on the island.

Meanwhile, Space Archmage Old Band would also be coming to the island.

He had completed the teleportation portal in the City of Dawn and would be creating another one on the island.

“But it’s very expensive to construct the teleportation portals...” William felt an ache in his heart. He had not stopped his dealings with Blue Moon Town.

The materials for constructing the portals were very expensive. The Blue Moon Elves did not look down on the Half-Elf William, but they did not give him any discounts either. Hence, the prices were blood-curling.

“500,000 gold coins. If I had not pilfered the treasury of Iron Dukedom, how could I have obtained such a large sum of money...”
