Within another room in the Li family's residence, Li Baiqing sat on a chair and looked at the documents in his hands. He smiled and said, "Who would have thought that I would have a half-brother!"
As Great Tang's Legatee, Li Baiqing received the support of the entire Li family and a large amount of resources. He had also established his own intelligence network, so he knew that his grandfather had sent an assassin to kill Zhao Fu.
After thinking about it, Li Baiqing thought to himself, "Zhao Fu, the Li family has let you down. If you don't do anything to harm the Li family, I'll definitely let you off in the future and compensate you. However, if you become a pawn of the Ying family and harm the Li family, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Your Majesty! What should we do now? "
A young man from the Wuwei family asked Li Baiqing as he cupped his fists.
This young man was a descendant of Great Tang's famous general Li Jing, and his name was Li Guangye. Even though he had his own family, after meeting Li Baiqing, he was impressed by his talent and believed that Li Baiqing would be a wise ruler. As such, he decided to continue serving Great Tang like his ancestor.
Apart from this, Great Tang also had two new historical figures. One of them was Xue Rengui, a legendary general who had fought in countless battles and made great contributions to Great Tang.
The other was Wei Zheng, who dared to speak out and was praised by later generations as a famous Prime Minister.
When Li Baiqing heard Li Guangye's words, he said, "Don't worry about it for now. If the Li family and the Ying family fight, it won't be good for either side, and it will only benefit the other. Right now, we should focus on development."
When he heard this, Li Guangye nodded and respectfully retreated to the side.
… …
As for Zhao Fu, he first moved his house to a place that only the direct descendants could live in, and Ying Xi gave him a bodyguard to protect him.
This was the best he could do for now. Now that his life was somewhat guaranteed, Zhao Fu returned to his room, took out the Heaven Awaken Stone, and entered the Heaven Awaken World.
After entering the Heaven Awaken World, Zhao Fu made sure that he did not think about the real world and placed all of his attention on Qin Village. Right now, Qin Qin Village was the only thing Zhao Fu could rely on.
Because the threat of the Orcs had been resolved, Zhao Fu had thought about the godly spirit. However, the Heaven and Earth Refining Formation was not something he could use whenever he wanted. He needed crystal stones, and there were not many crystal stones left in the jade trough. How could he refine the godly spirit with that little energy?
Whether it was now or in the future, energy stones were definitely the most important resource. Without them, it would be impossible to use the Heaven and Earth Refining Formation. However, energy stones were simply too expensive. One could only be bought for 10 gold coins, which was 100,000 copper coins.
Zhao Fu didn't have that much money to buy it. He could use the equipment he had obtained from the Space of Bones to trade for it, but Zhao Fu urgently needed it.
After subduing the Elves and Orcs, Zhao Fu took 100 from the 300 Kobolds, 300 from the 700 Goblin Villages, 100 from the 400 Orcs, and 600 from the 1,400 Elves.
Now, Zhao Fu had 2,900 soldiers available for battle, but he only had 1,000 or so Blue grade equipment. He was still lacking, so how could he sell them?
As such, energy stones were quite rare. Unless he could find a way to earn a lot of money, he would be able to buy energy stones. Otherwise, it would depend on whether he was lucky enough to find a vein of energy stones in the Forest of Horrors.
As such, he could only temporarily stop his God Plotting Plan. His next task was to continue exploring the Forest of Horrors. Right now, Zhao Fu had only explored the area within 30 kilometers of Qin Village, and he would now explore the area beyond that area to see what he could find.
Now that he had 2,900 soldiers, it was a bit too much to lead so many soldiers. As such, Zhao Fu decided to split into two teams, one led by Bai Qi and the other led by himself, and they would explore in different directions.
… …
A few days later, the two teams had explored the area within 50 kilometers of Qin Village, but they hadn't made much. However, they had conquered four more Basic Villages: one was a Normal Village, one was a Bandit Village, one was a Gnome Village, and one was a Goblin Village.
After conquering these four villages, Zhao Fu had used population as his main resource, which was why he had kept a lot of people. The four villages had provided 1,300 or so people, so Zhao Fu had taken out 500 of them to increase their army to 3,400. It could be said that the Great Qin Village was now the most powerful village in the surrounding 100-kilometer radius region.
After conquering the four Basic Villages, Zhao Fu obtained 200 Achievement Points, causing his status to rise to Third-Ranked Baron. Even though it was only a Third-Ranked Baron, it was still a Noble title, and he had the power to level up a Village into a Town.
Apart from this, Third-Ranked Baron also had some special privileges, such as the respect from the soldiers in the system main cities, the 10% discount from shops, and the ability to directly buy houses in the system main cities or become residents of the system main cities without needing Achievement Points.
Zhao Fu wanted to buy houses. In some games and novels, after entering a city, one could buy a large amount of land and sell it. Right now, this was the most profitable thing to do.
Right now, the houses in the system main cities could only be rented out, and one had to earn City Merit Points to become a resident of the system main cities before they could buy land. However, there were restrictions – they could only buy land in the Residential District, and they couldn't buy too much. They couldn't buy commercial land or flourishing areas.
Zhao Fu knew that after becoming a Third-Ranked Baron, he would be able to buy houses, but there would be restrictions. However, Zhao Fu still planned to go to the system main cities to have a look. He was currently lacking money, and it would be best to find a way to make a lot of money.
After using the teleportation channel, Zhao Fu once again arrived at Holy Light City. There were still many people here, and Zhao Fu directly went to the Real Estate Office.
After entering, there were quite a few people here, and Zhao Fu saw a few people he recognized. One was Jiang Rou and a few other members of the Jiang family, while the other was the pompous Zhou family with a few hooligans who were pestering Jiang Rou.
However, Zhao Fu didn't dare to be too presumptuous, as the Real Estate Office was managed by Holy Light City's officials. Perhaps the Zhou family could do as they pleased among the players, but they were nothing in the eyes of the residents. If they dared to offend the officials of a system main city, none of the Zhou family's people would dare to enter Holy Light City in the future. After all, the power of a system main city wasn't something that anyone could contend against.
Seeing this, Zhao Fu didn't bother to do anything. This had nothing to do with him, and the Zhou family's pompous Zhou family had dared to pester the Jiang family's people.
