Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 803: Chapter 88: Increased Gem Pool Resource Output and Snake Woman Hela’s Knight Training (Part 2)

After engraving this rune on the Vibranium Rune Armor, it creates a powerful Rune Shield for the knight, further enhancing the defense of the Ice and Snow Valkyrie, who is already focused on defense.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that if an enemy strikes her with all their might, whether she gets hurt is uncertain, but the enemy will likely be repelled by her bloodline power and frozen into an ice block. Until this Vibranium Plate Armor is completely damaged, and the shield and runes lose their effects.

When Selanweir saw Su Li personally helping her put on this armor, her eyes widened in shock, and her tone was filled with disbelief: "Lord, are you really giving me such a precious armor?"

This is a rare-level Vibranium Rune Armor, and there are only two sets in the entire territory. Even Marshal Orstein and Chief Steward Hilude do not have rare-level armor.

The only set of rare-level plate armor in the territory was given to Mole’s Chosen One, Demster, but that was because Demster truly risked his life in the Seductive Demon Realm, battling countless Desire Demons and ultimately bringing back the Bathed in Fire Rose, as a reward from the Lord for his efforts.

No matter what, that was a Divine Chosen level knight, and such treatment is deemed normal. Everyone could understand the rationale for this reward.

But even Selanweir never thought that the second piece of rare-level armor would be given to her!

She wondered what merits and abilities she had, as apart from her slightly quicker training speed, she was merely an Elite Knight, with a humble background.

To this day, she could not guess why the Lord favored her so much.

The fact that she might train up to the Legendary Level was known only to Su Li and Hilude, so she felt that the Lord had granted her the greatest favor in the world.

Perhaps, no woman can refuse when a man tells her, "To me, you are the most unique one."

Su Li smiled as he helped her adjust the armor, then said, "After the Radiant Competition Festival, it’s time to initiate the campaign against the Blue Mirror Territory. Wearing this armor on the battlefield provides a greater guarantee of safety. Your safety is priceless, and if any harm comes to you, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself."

Selanweir, shy and excited, hugged Su Li tightly, gazing up at him: "Lord, ever since my parents passed away, you have been the best to me in this world, and the only one I care about. I will surely repay you with all my efforts in the future."

Su Li patted her back and said with a smile, "No need to wait for the future, how about tonight? Female Knight, let me see how you tame a wild horse."

Selanweir bashfully lowered her head, while nearby, Vidage’s curious voice came, "What are you talking about? I can’t understand. Why is her taming a horse a form of repaying you?"

Su Li turned to look at Vidage, who was curiously peeking between them, clearly not grasping the situation.

"Don’t pry into adult matters, child."

Vidage smiled helplessly, although she was a Primitive Maiden, she also possessed the gentleness of a woman, not wild and uncouth.

She then asked, "I heard you mentioned rare-level armor just now. Do you have enough Ethereum Gold?"

Su Li shook his head and said, "No, the batch of rare-level armor we’re making contains no Ethereum Gold. This advanced metal, we’re all waiting for you to supply it. Your Gem Pool has expanded, so both Ethereum Gold and Laurel Gemstone production should increase, right?"

"Of course," Vidage proudly puffed out her chest and said, "My Gem Pool has now doubled, and I can produce 10 pounds of Ethereum Gold and 4 Laurel Gemstones each month. But we agreed that 5 pounds of Ethereum Gold and 2 Laurel Gemstones a month would be sufficient rent. If you want more resources, we must negotiate new terms."

Su Li smiled and spoke leisurely, "You rented me 5 leagues of land as a homestead, the rent is 5 pounds of Ethereum Gold and 2 Laurel Gemstones; you rented me 10 leagues of land as a homestead, and the rent remains 5 pounds of Ethereum Gold and 2 Laurel Gemstones?"

Hearing Su Li’s words, Vidage’s previously confident chest didn’t seem as assured. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what do you propose? Are you going to raise the price?"

"With the increase in your resource point, the output should naturally increase a bit. But we are good friends, we can discuss it. What terms would you like to set?"

Vidage grinned with happiness again: "The condition is that Hela must help me refine two Emerald Annual Rings each month. However, I don’t have any Lilac Trees, so I need you to give me two more Lilac Trees."

Su Li calmly nodded and said, "Alright, it’s decided. We are in friendly negotiation; you provide me with more resources, and I offer you more benefits, gifting you 5 leagues of land, and I’ll send two more trees in front of your home."

Vidage immediately cheered happily: "Human Lord, I may have misjudged you before. You truly are a good friend. I have only 20 pounds of Ethereum Gold left, and I’ll give it all to you. Additionally, I have plenty of Laurel Gemstones, give you 20 as a gift."

This young lady, though small in stature, is indeed straightforward and generous in her actions and dealings.

Su Li smiled and said, "Alright then, I’ll accept them all. When the Extraordinary Spirit Trees mature in my territory in the fall, I’ll bring you gifts as well. I’ll also give you 20 pods of the Holy Purple Vine Tree and 2 Star Dew Sweet Oranges to let you taste different delicacies."

"Is this what you humans call reciprocity? It truly seems nice, as we didn’t have to spend money yet received many good things."
