Yan Chenggong laughed, "Actually, the most important thing is, I can't afford those wages. These kinds of subordinates won't willingly risk their lives for me without some serious benefits, and small favors won't sway them at all."

Someone who casually gives away a Marvel, honestly, he can't afford to keep.

This is the real reason he doesn't dare to recruit them.

After all, he's just a captain of a reinforced battalion, still far from the kingdom's goals.

As for forcefully keeping them?

Forget it, that's the biggest Shadow of his life. He's been through it himself, so he knows very well that if they ever get a chance to escape, it will lead to endless troubles.

...

Soon, Yang Yuan discovered that the military had put up a task board at the camp entrance, saying that chopping down ten of the kind of wood he needed would earn five Spirit Monster Cores.

Immediately, he smiled, not at all upset that the military could make half the profit just by opening a mouth, because this was exactly his goal.

Let those ordinary Superpower Users earn money and then come to him to rent weapons.

And to achieve this goal, it's best to go through the military here first, to avoid attracting envy.

Everyone makes money together; after all, he won't lose out, and the main point is that making money isn't actually his main goal.

"Cough cough cough..." Suddenly someone coughed loudly from a distance, hurriedly ran into a house, put on a mask, and then rushed towards the camp exit.

More and more people were rushing to take up the task; such simple yet profitable tasks were not common.

Yang Yuan found that although this camp had a much larger population than the thirteenth team, it also had more Superpower Users.

It could even be said Superpower Users were everywhere; at a glance, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find ordinary people.

So many Superpower Users couldn't possibly have all awakened naturally, whether the military paid for awakenings or people obtained Spirit Monster Cores themselves for awakening, he didn't know.

Of course, that has nothing to do with him. The more Superpower Users, the better, because that means more tool people for him.

It's worth noting that almost everyone here was wrapped in thick clothing because it was actually very cold here already.

The reason the three of them didn't feel the cold was because their constitution was very strong.

Even Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi, whose abilities originally didn't significantly enhance constitution, had their bodies strengthened to be no weaker than ordinary Physique Evolvers thanks to that Mysterious Energy.

With such constitutions, they naturally didn't care about a degree or two drop in temperature.

In just half an hour, some people began returning with logs, and the number of returnees kept increasing.

Each returning person carried at least one log, while those with great strength carried over a dozen.

If not for the shoulders unable to hold more, they might have brought even more back at once.

However, those with pets were even more impressive, directly having their pets drag back dozens, earning a dozen or so Spirit Monster Cores at once.

Yang Yuan had the military count; once the logs reached ten thousand, then they'd collectively pay up. Meanwhile, he took a hundred logs back to first make tables, chairs, and beds.

Since these pieces of furniture were simple structures and the material was not particularly hard, the printing speed was fast and assembly quick.

Even though the logs were large, the printer had been conceptualized; as long as the material was placed on the machine surface, it could be used without needing manual feeding into the input port.

[Dining Table lv.1: 0/5 (Wooden Dining Table; Non-upgradable)]

'Not bad, having data means it can be upgraded.'

Yang Yuan continued assembling chairs and beds.

[Chair lv.1: 0/3 (Wooden Chair; Non-upgradable)]

'This chair... is not just for dining. Anyway, there's enough wood, and it doesn't take time, let's make some more.'

In the end, he made a total of ten chairs, which should be sufficient.

Next up were the beds.

[Wood Bed lv.1: 0/5 (Simple Wood Bed; Non-upgradable)]

'Oh right, let's make some sofas too.'

And so, simple wooden sofas were continuously made thereafter.

Whether or not these sofas could rack up enough experience to upgrade didn't matter; they were just casual household items.

And the Void Ring was large enough, allowing him to carry them when relocating; sooner or later, the experience needed to upgrade would accumulate.

Even if space capacity ran out, every time items were taken out, experience would be gained. Once enough experience was gathered, upgrading was the plan.

When night fell, a soldier came to inform him that the ten thousand logs had been gathered.

"What speed, that's the advantage of a lot of people!"

Yang Yuan went to the camp entrance, first taking out ten thousand Spirit Monster Cores to hand to the soldier in charge of the transaction, then waved to store all the logs away.

Since everyone in the camp already knew he had a huge space capable of storing large beast carcasses, seeing him store so many logs now didn't surprise anyone watching in the slightest.

"Oh, right, the officer asked me to remind you, it's best not to go out at night."

At this time, the soldier in charge of the logs said, "Besides, there are occasional beast tides here, and when beast tides break out, everyone must participate unless they have permission not to."

Beast tide?

Yang Yuan nodded, "Five kilometers away, there's a big crow. It's my pet; letting it roam there shouldn't be an issue, right?"

"It's not an issue, but it's best if it doesn't attack humans. As long as it doesn't attack humans proactively, we won't interfere. Those hunting Superpower Users also know that all beasts within ten kilometers could be someone's pet from the camp, so they hunt further away." The soldier replied.
