The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!-Chapter 55 - Before It’s Fixed

55: Chapter 55 Before It’s Fixed

55 -55 Before It’s Fixed

It was the eighth day since the Undead had come to Star Dragon Ridge.

Early in the morning.

Lind left his room and proceeded with his usual patrol.

The women and children, whose lives had notably improved, stood at their job posts, but unlike Lind’s previous instructions, they were not just standing there killing time; they were also learning to do some work.

Working in the vegetable garden, cleaning the tavern, organizing the warehouse, and handling ingredients in the kitchen, among other tasks.

Even if the Undead vanished, the pace of life at Star Dragon Ridge had already stabilized, and the impact would not be too significant.

“Lord!” Two boys, seeing Lind, bowed in imitation of the Soldiers.

Lind nodded slightly, “Well done!”

“Hehe!” The two lads ran off happily; in their eyes, the Lord was the mightiest.

He did not go to see Old Pete but entered the tavern instead.

If you ask whether Old Pete’s cooking was good, it was undoubtedly excellent!

As an army cook, Old Pete was proficient in a variety of cuisines and could prepare edible food in the shortest time possible with any ingredients.

However, the entire background of the Rand Kingdom was a fictional medieval Magic age; there was no fine dining.

In contrast, the Undead really had someone who could cook!

So when Lind heard that an Undead chef had come applying for a job, he immediately chose to have a meal, thinking of the tastes of home.

Before even entering the tavern, a noisy clamor burst through the wall.

Opening the door, a pungent odor that made Lind’s eyes widen assaulted his senses.

The smell of blood, rot, mud, feces, fish, unwashed bodies, and oily hair came at him like a tsunami.

A group of Undead were crammed inside the tavern.

“Lord!” The Undead greeted Lind with surprise.

“I…”

Lind nodded, but he was now hesitant about whether to go inside.

They can’t smell anything with one sense switched off, but Lind was suffering a lot.

Seeing Flawless Legs approaching, Lind motioned to him, “Post a notice immediately.”

“I’ll get paper and pen right away!” Flawless Legs had fully embraced his role as “second to Lind,” and his work style was increasingly sycophantic.

The fact that NPCs turned out to be less useful than players was an incredibly speechless affair.

[Recently, a persistent foul odor has been detected within Star Dragon Ridge.

Therefore, a cleanliness edict is hereby issued.

One must bathe before entering public areas, or face a fine of 5 Gold Coins and a ‘No Entry’ penalty at Star Dragon Ridge — Lind Armand]

Flawless Legs, holding the “scroll of tasks,” found that aside from marveling at the game’s intelligence level, he had already gotten used to it.

NPCs issuing orders because of players not bathing—look how intelligent!

Instead of getting angry, players found it very interesting.

Look, there were already two Undead jokingly lingering in front of the Soldiers to let them smell if they stank.

Gag, drawing swords from their sheaths.

The Undead immediately behaved.

Suddenly, Lind remembered something, did the tavern chef bathe?!

Maybe, he should just eat the food made by Old Pete.

…

…

There was no administrative work needing attention at Star Dragon Ridge, in “livestock,” “agriculture,” “defense,” “building” and other areas, Lind simply demarcated the area and let the Undead develop on their own.

The cooperation between the two parties was going very smoothly so far; no matter how harsh Lind’s requirements were, the Undead would never find them absurd; as long as there was a reward, they would work themselves to death.

In the past, when tasks required dialogue and negotiation, the Undead would engage in bargaining, but ever since Flawless Legs successfully made paper, the atmosphere had changed.

A typical trait among gamers is to ignore the story narrative and just look at the task requirements and the rewards.

With the appearance of the task scroll, the Undead started to ignore whether they were being exploited, maybe they didn’t even care if they were being exploited, and might even offer to pay for work.

In front of the administrative office, a table was set up.

Flawless Legs was writing something, and behind him stood two Star Dragon Ridge soldiers, like two iron towers, unmovingly standing guard.

“Legs, I want to take on a quest!”

A smile forced its way onto the Undead’s face.

“Is it also about farming in the village of the Mad Wise Ones?” Flawless Legs, having anticipated this, asked with a smile.

“Who else but you,” the Undead rubbed his hands.

“Can I get a good piece of land?”

“The fields are all gone.”

“What?!”

“Did you just log on?”

“Yeah,” the Undead nodded.

“Just broke up with my girlfriend, haven’t been online for a day.”

“Huh?” Flawless Legs was puzzled.

You should be online farming more after breaking up, without a woman to hold you back.

You should be dedicating yourself to the development of the land!

The Undead naturally said, “Before breaking up, I booked a hotel for a day and a night.”

Flawless Legs widened his eyes and gave a thumbs up, “Boss move!”

So breaking up means stand up and kick, huh.

“Couldn’t keep up in the end, I took a pill,” the Undead held up an index finger, not admitting randomly: “Either it works or it doesn’t, was firing blanks, now I should be able to farm properly for a while.”

As he spoke, he went on to complain, “I really didn’t expect it, just one day offline and so much has changed.”

“Not just you, I didn’t expect it either,” Flawless Legs took out a quest scroll, then another: “The farmland is definitely gone, it’s a case of the quick and the slow.

But, you can go and clear new land, here is a lord’s decree for clearing land, you can clear three patches.”

“Only three, not giving ten acres?

Let me tell you, I’ve been farming since I was little, my family for 18 generations, all bona fide farmers.

When I had my first birthday ceremony, surrounded by treasures, ink and paper, guess what?

I flipped off the table, ran straight to my grandpa’s room, and grabbed his hoe!”

“Do you know how big the Calamity Shadow Region is!” Flawless Legs pulled over a hand-drawn map, pointing and speaking: “Just this big, you let your breakup delay you, others have taken everything.”

“Ouch, give a bit more, can’t you?” novelbuddy.cσ๓

“Even the roads are gone!”

“Then, how about here,” the Undead pointed at a circled area on Flawless Legs’ map, “this area with the houses works for me, I can demolish the houses and clear the land to farm.”

“Oh, you’re too late, that’s also been divided up.”

“Alright then,” the Undead resignedly gave in.

When he arrived at the village of the Mad Wise Ones, carrying the farming tools bought from an Undead craftsman and seeds bought from a store, following the road signs, he was instantly shocked by the scene before him.

Most of the Mad Wise Ones’ village was gone.

The senseless Mad Wise Ones were almost all cleaned up, their bodies piled on the ground.

And looking around, everyone was just bent over farming.

“Dude, well, I’m here to clear the land,” he handed the quest scroll to an Undead who clearly had some authority.

“Hmm, your land is on the outer edge, over there,” the managing Undead pointed far away: “Around the rocks.”

“How am I supposed to farm around rocks?”

“You think it’s hard to farm, I think it’s hard too,” the managing Undead sighed: “Man, no one expected this bug to be exploited like this, otherwise how could several max-level players pop up overnight?”

“True,” the Undead agreed, nodding.

If it weren’t for seeing that post, he might not have walked away abruptly after managing to stand up to his ex-girlfriend for four hours.

[Essential|Mechanical Flaw!

Exploiting a farming bug!

Check it out before it’s fixed!]

It’s that same Undead from The Place of Curling.

[This is definitely the biggest bug in the game so far, and the developers haven’t noticed yet.

Of course, I think the developers should fix it quickly, as it really affects the gaming experience]

[Star Dragon Ridge has opened up farming, and it’s mutant crops we’re planting.

Initially, I thought it was just like Animal Crossing, meant for social players, but I didn’t expect that players who stayed in the fields overnight would be attacked by the Calamity Shadow!

When I mention Calamity Shadow, you might not understand what that is.

Simply put, by farming in the Calamity Shadow region, the Calamity Shadow will try to prevent us from farming by attacking us!]

[Someone might say, isn’t this just tower defense mode?

But think about it differently.

Currently, players mainly face two problems: not having enough money to buy equipment and not being strong enough to fight monsters, with no monsters to fight.

But with farming now, it’s different.

The Calamity Shadow is bound to come, so as long as you farm here, you will be attacked.

We can just wait for things to come to us.

Moreover, I’ve noticed that every time the Calamity Shadow is defeated, the crops are affected and grow faster.]

[Several level 10 players have already appeared at Star Dragon Ridge!]

[That’s why I say this mode will definitely affect the gaming experience because players can use this method to quickly boost their power and earn money quickly, which kind of affects the game experience.]

[If you find the game a bit difficult, I recommend taking advantage of this before it’s fixed, hurry up and farm to level up!]
