He pushed open the door and locked it behind him.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Luna was already asleep.
When Zong Shen entered the room, she was breathing evenly.
Listening to the calm breaths, he inexplicably felt at ease.
Unconsciously, he lightened his steps, approached the bed, and lay down beside her.
With a clear mind, he closed his eyes and soon drifted into dreamland.
A little past six the next morning, Zong Shen groggily woke up.
He had slept for about four hours.
Luna should have already woken up, as the space next to him was empty.
When he reached out, he could feel the lingering warmth that hadn’t cooled.
This showed Luna had only recently woken up.
Zong Shen stretched lazily, and most of his fatigue faded away.
He sat on the bed, beginning to consider today’s tasks.
The exploration of the Lion Knight Corps headquarters was complete, and he now had a large stockpile of equipment on hand.
All of it was Rare Level and Legendary Level standard equipment.
He wouldn’t sell this batch; instead, he would save it as territory reserve.
Additionally, he had a variety of equipment from whiteboard to Excellent Level.
The sources of these items were complex: some were personally forged by Dwarves, while others came from treasure chests and various battles.
Since the Newbie Stage ended, the monsters that carried equipment generally had guaranteed drops.
The battlefield only needed to be cleaned afterwards.
Many items were acquired early after landing.
The tiers of this equipment were inconsistent, just like the remaining durability.
Zong Shen once asked Marie to list some on the [Market] to deal with a portion.
However, the two [Markets] in the territory only had a total of 8 listing spots.
Using them just to sell "ragged equipment" seemed a bit wasteful.
Consequently, inadvertently many remained piled up in the territory’s warehouse.
Items like these miscellaneous ones occupy a lot of storage grid space, so Marie had long organized them into the warehouse.
Needless to say, there were about seven to eight hundred pieces.
Zong Shen had already decided how to handle them.
For Zong Shen, this batch of equipment was redundant, but it still held value for many Lords.
Moreover, a perfect opportunity for disposal was approaching.
That opportunity would arise with the arrival of the Flame Demon Boss.
As a regional community event, even without his mobilization, at least two to three thousand Lords with active and aggressive development styles would attend.
Before the challenge starts, he would motivate them in the [Regional Channel].
He strived to rally four to five thousand Lords to bring their troops to the battle.
After the first Flame Demon Boss was defeated, it would be the best chance to sell off equipment.
Then, he could set up stalls on the spot, taking advantage of face-to-face trades.
The gathering of thousands of Lords would be sufficient to digest the inventory of ragged items he had.
Transforming these redundant items into high-consumption resources for territory development would be a form of recycling.
Sitting on the bed thinking for a while, he spontaneously refreshed his mind.
When he came to himself, the last trace of sleepiness had vanished.
He twisted his neck, stretched his joints, and got out of bed lightly.
He began to get dressed.
Today’s sunshine was exceptionally bright; by early six or seven in the morning, it was already fully lit outside.
Judging by the weather, there was a hint of heat.
However, the overall temperature was still around twenty-something degrees.
The climate hints about this challenge weren’t particularly prominent.
After all, hot weather isn’t as noticeable as Frosty Winter, just like a period of clear skies.
The temperature fluctuations were around ten to twenty degrees higher than usual.
After getting dressed, Zong Shen marched in place a few steps.
Within the Lord’s Small Tower, it was quiet; everyone was already up and about, as they didn’t have the habit of sleeping in.
The new [Tier Four Comprehensive Training Ground] had been constructed.
It was next to the central zone, a few hundred meters from the Lord’s Small Tower.
The training ground was large enough, around several hundred thousand square meters.
It could accommodate simultaneous training for bow, foot, and cavalry units.
It could host up to a thousand people.
The previous [Tier One Training Ground] had become a dedicated area for farmers.
Zong Shen had abandoned the initial armed farmer plan.
Yet San Pang hadn’t forgotten about it.
After handling building and cooking chores, he conscientiously led the original dozens of farmers to train on time every day.
Until Zong Shen issued a clear directive, he would continue executing it.
The 50 whiteboard longswords and 50 wooden shields crafted before had also been distributed to them.
Currently, those farmers generally reached lv8~lv9 levels.
With a little more training, they could soon smoothly reach lv10.
Additionally, the new training ground wasn’t idle either.
Following Zong Shen’s previous instructions, idle warriors in the territory started training willingly.
Through the training, their skill levels and personal levels could improve to some extent.
As for the Mages, it was the same story; the [Magic Hall] only had ten Meditation Rooms, still adhering to the first-come, first-served principle.
Fortunately, the territory’s first batch of Mages was almost reaching their upper training limit.
Then, they could vacate the Meditation Rooms.
In essence, there was still a big difference between the [Magic Hall] and the [Training Ground].
The former directly provided attribute gain, while the latter offered experience value through training.
Zong Shen wasn’t sure if there was a training ground specifically for Mages.
As the territory’s various buildings became more comprehensive and the population grew.
Development was gradually moving onto the right track.
Training was beneficial as it allowed warriors to gradually level up without battle.
