Although Xu Hang was not panicking at all, he still had to make preparations.
He had to deal with other players and the upcoming beast attack.
For the beast attack, there would definitely be a large number of beasts.
Xu Hang should be able to obtain a large amount of food and magic crystals.
Furthermore, the beast bones could be used to make weapons.
He looked at the farmers under his command. Although their combat strength was very high, they were still equipped with wooden knives and sticks.
It was unsuitable.
However, for today, he did not need to think about these things. Xu Hang laid down and fell into a deep slumber.
About 300 miles away from Xu Hang’s castle, a Lord was sitting on his chair that looked like it was made out of the remains of a dragon. There was also a woman on his lap.
This castle was the strongest castle in Xu Hang’s vicinity, ranking at 56th.
It was owned by a Lord named Zhang Tao. Before he transmigrated, he was a hooligan.
Now, he was more lawless than ever.
He had some prior gaming experience and used that to his advantage.
Naturally, the woman on his lap had become his property.
The woman was also a very flirtatious person before she transmigrated.
However, Zhang Tao was completely unaware of that fact. He just thought that she was a good match for him.
Zhang Tao stopped touching the woman’s body and accessed the system interface.
[ Liu Qiangxi is requesting to join your party ]
[ Yes ][ No ]
Zhang Tao did not hesitate and clicked [ No ].
[ Qin Shaoyun is requesting to join your party ]
[ Yes ][ No ]
[ …is requesting to join… ]
[ No ], [ No ], [ No ]…
“Damn, this is so annoying.”
He sent a message to the world chat channel.
[ Tomorrow morning, I will set off to seize Xu Hang’s crystals and car, but I will not be forming a party. ]
[ However, if you’re a beauty, I can reconsider. ]
There was even a drooling emoji added at the end.
[ Wow, you’re just a robber but you have the nerve to say such words. ]
[ Stealing other people’s resources and openly finding a woman like this, you have no shame. ]
Zhang Tao got angry and began to curse on the world chat channel.
As he cursed, he picked up a whip and whipped the farmer who was working beside him.
“Hurry up. You don’t get to rest!”
Xu Hang was not aware of this matter at all.
When he woke up the next day, the topic had changed.
Xu Hang began his day’s work.
It was called work, but there was nothing much for him to do.
Someone might attack him today, but he did not worry at all. He checked the ranking list of the nearby castles and which Lord could reach him within a day. They were all noobs in his eyes.
However, he also had to consider one point.
A tall tree attracts the wind!
Being strong could be disadvantageous as well.
If the others knew that his farmers could level up, they would definitely covet his ability.
In other words, the only way to keep people quiet was to make sure they all died during the attack.
Despite that, the death of every Lord would be announced to the world chat channel by the system, including the cause of death.
Xu Hang would still be exposed. He might even become the public enemy if he were to kill so many people.
It would be bad if everyone decided to attack him.
Even though his farmers were strong enough, there were probably other bugs in this world.
Therefore, it was better to lay a low profile.
But what should he do?
How would he develop his castle without attracting any attention?
Before he transmigrated, Xu Hang had read a book that explained a type of rule called the Dark Forest Law.
The Dark Forest Law could be simply understood as, once a civilization was discovered, it would be attacked by other civilizations.
He was the one that was discovered.
“It’s useless,” Xu Hang muttered.
“Wait, dark forest, forest, primitive tribe.”
“Traps, I can use traps!”
He immediately commanded three of his farmers to start making traps, while the rest continued to plant, cut, and mine.
First, there were trapping pits. It was one of the simplest traps. All the farmers had to do was dig pits and then cover them with thorns.
Next, there were wooden stakes traps. The wooden stakes were tied to ropes and placed at a high location. The ground would be set up with sensing ropes so that when someone came, Xu Hang would be alerted.
After some time, all the traps were done.
The sky gradually darkened. Xu Hang wanted to see how effective the traps would be at night.
Zhang Tao had brought his team over. There were seven other castle Lords with him. In total, they had more than thirty level 3 soldiers and five level 4 soldiers.
Of course, they had also left about half of their forces to guard the base camp.
Five of them were female Lords who did not have much combat strength.
They were the women who shamelessly said they would wear black silk underwear and warm men’s beds on the world chat channel.
Any additional information on what they had done was unknown.
After walking for a while, they climbed up a small hill.
“Brother Tao, that’s Xu Hang’s castle over there!”
“Humph, I bet there’s nothing there.”
“Eh, there’s another group. It seems like someone wanted to attack before we could.”
“That Lord only had two level 1 soldiers. Hahahaha, what a joke compared to Brother Tao.”
“Brother Tao could easily take down such a noob.”
The five women started to flatter Zhang Tao.
Xu Hang had built barracks to deceive the opponent.
He had also disguised the high-level buildings by using grass and leaves.
In terms of combat strength, it had increased from 0 to 4.
Zhang Tao accessed the system interface and checked Xu Hang’s combat strength. It was indeed as he expected.
However, he had enough with the five women who would not stop talking.
“Shut up!”
With his years of experience as a gangster, Zhang Tao understood that he needed to use his full power at every battle.
“Be careful and follow me.”
The show was about to begin.
Zhang Tao led his troops and slowly moved forward. They got closer and closer to Xu Hang’s castle.
At this moment, Xu Hang was on top of a huge tree. He was observing the situation around him.
A level 9 farmer approached the tree and reported in a hushed voice, “We’ve found traces of the enemy!”
“Over thirty level 3 soldiers, five level 4 soldiers, and seven castle Lords.”
“Very good.”
Xu Hang jumped down from the tree and looked at the farmer. It felt like he was smarter than before.
This was the farmer that Xu Hang had set up to carry out the reconnaissance missions. After completing his mission, the farmer leveled up. Now, he’s level 10.
The difference between him and the other farmers was his high intelligence and agility.
“I shall name you Shadow.”
“Yes, Master.”
Xu Hang revealed a sinister smile.
“Now, let us begin the war!”
