Chapter 1699: Chapter 571: The Last Day, Inheritance Complete!
Thinking about it, Cao Xing arrived at the industrial district once more.
Ten uniformly styled black buildings appeared ahead, with chimneys on the roofs billowing hot steam.
These buildings were the Expert-level Blacksmith Shops.
Cao Xing pushed open the door of one Blacksmith Shop, and a bustling scene unfolded before him.
The sound of "ding ding! clang!" was endless.
The firepower in each Forging Furnace was turned up to the maximum, as blacksmiths placed the newly heated crude embers onto the Forging Table for forging.
Hundreds of blacksmiths were working tirelessly, barely noticing Cao Xing’s arrival.
It was Harold who found Cao Xing and immediately put down his work to come to his side and greet him.
"Good day, Lord."
Cao Xing nodded, "Harold, how is the forging progress here?"
"Reporting to Lord."
The blacksmith reported: "Currently, I have successfully produced the first Neros Cannon, and under sufficient material conditions, it can basically be produced at one every five days."
Cao Xing’s eyes showed a hint of admiration upon hearing that.
Producing one every five days is quite efficient.
After all, this Epic Level cannon is powerful, with each one holding strategic-level power.
He approved, saying: "Not bad, how about the progress of other blacksmiths?"
Harold continued to report: "The other blacksmiths are also working diligently. Those two Expert-level blacksmiths are fully focused on crafting the Divine Protector Swords, producing around seven to eight per day."
"The remaining Advanced Blacksmiths and Intermediate Blacksmiths are crafting Fine Quality War Armor, producing around two to three hundred sets per day."
Cao Xing nodded again.
Clearly, the work efficiency of these blacksmiths is also very high.
The warriors in his territory will soon be fully equipped in Fine War Armor using Golden Weapons!
Moreover, even after acquiring more advanced blueprints, these weapons and equipment won’t be wasted once obsolete.
Cao Xing can sell them to other Survivors through trading channels or to merchants of this world.
After previous deals, it’s evident that a piece of Golden equipment in this world is generally valued at over a million Crowns.
And high-level Golden Weapons like the Divine Protector Sword could even be worth over five million Crowns.
In other words, Cao Xing can earn tens of millions of Crowns every day just relying on these blacksmiths!
Thinking of this made him feel even better.
"Very good, keep up the hard work, Harold."
"Tell the other blacksmiths, I’ll send people to bring their families over in some time."
This was a condition Cao Xing initially promised.
However, he didn’t act on it immediately, deciding to wait a bit longer.
Firstly, warriors are busy improving their skills and have no extra time for long journeys to bring the blacksmiths’ families over.
Secondly, a new expansion is about to be released.
When the Blood Legion arrives, even Lords are targets for them.
Previously, the Old King mentioned that the Blood Legion wouldn’t harm ordinary people.
If family members were brought back to the territory now, they might be involved once the expansion opens.
So, for now, it’s safer for them to stay where they originally lived.
Harold solemnly declared: "Understood, honorable Lord, I will convey this to them and supervise the work well!"
"Good."
After speaking, Cao Xing left the Blacksmith Shop.
Then he looked at the Mechanical Factory next door.
"Just in time, let’s see if Goblin Rock has been slacking off recently."
Before he got closer, a sharp voice was heard.
"Oh! Look who’s back?"
"It’s our brilliant and mighty Lord!"
A short figure rushed over, none other than the goblin.
Once he arrived, he immediately exclaimed excitedly: "By the Earth Cave God, every time I see Lord, it fills me with admiration, making me want to worship you uncontrollably, you..."
Cao Xing waved his hand, quickly interrupting him, "Rock, stop it now."
Upon hearing this, the goblin shut his mouth instantly, showing an awkward smile.
This fellow is naturally like this, always starting with flattery whenever he sees Cao Xing.
If not stopped, he could praise you using different words for three days and nights!
Of course, Cao Xing was accustomed to it long ago.
"Rock, tell me about your work progress."
The goblin’s expression turned serious, then quickly responded: "Lord, during the days you’ve been away, I’ve successfully crafted four Frost Catapults."
"In addition, I’ve also worked overtime and managed to craft two big machines!"
"Oh? What are the big machines?" Cao Xing asked with interest.
Goblin Rock smiled mysteriously and then turned around, saying: "Please take a look."
As soon as his words fell, heavy footsteps were heard from the Mechanical Factory.
Soon, two large robots, nearly seven meters tall, crafted from Fine Iron and Mithril, walked over.
They bore a huge drill on the left hand and a massive excavation device on the right.
These are the blueprints exchanged from the Legion store last time - large mining robots.
Cao Xing praised, "Excellent, these robots can greatly increase our mining efficiency."
"Rock, proceed to build six more mining robots next."
"Understood, Lord!"
Rock said with a smile: "I’ll get back to work right away!"
"Go ahead."
As Cao Xing finished speaking, the goblin quickly turned around and sprinted into the Goblin Factory with his short legs.
