Lord of All: Transformed into the Undead Queen

Chapter 26 : [The Orphan of Zhao]'s Identity

Bai Yu tapped open the listing information and finally saw the name of this damn capitalist.

The moment Bai Yu saw the name, her mouth dropped wide open enough to fit an egg.

"What the~~~ Fuck~~~!!"

"The Orphan of Zhao! You really are a damn orphan!!!"

Bai Yu didn't expect that the one trading iron ingot would actually be her first friend, [The Orphan of Zhao].

Acting weak to take advantage of me, huh!

Bai Yu felt that the big boss persona she built in front of [The Orphan of Zhao] earlier had collapsed completely. It turned out she was the clown and this fucker was the real big boss.

Damn it, Bai Yu couldn't bring herself to go find [The Orphan of Zhao] to talk about the iron ingots.

Maybe she should just directly buy it from the exchange. But wouldn't that just be doing herself dirty, she should be all pretty and pink instead.

At this moment, by a huge mountain many tens of thousands of kilometers away from Bai Yu's castle, there stood a castle built from piles of rocks.

All around the castle were white rocks, along with several large mountains. Aside from that, there wasn't really anything else. The castle was situated at the foot of the largest of these mountains.

Inside the castle, an elegant, sexy bodied girl was sitting in the dining room enjoying her exquisite lunch.

(It was actually just a roasted wild rabbit, and had been burnt to a crisp.)

The girl was 1.72 meters tall. She had a head full of long wavy black hair, and on her beautiful, graceful face was delicate makeup.

Her looks were just a little worse than Bai Yu’s.

She wore a tight white shirt on her upper body, exposing her navel, and the top button was undone, revealing a hint of the gorgeous scenery within. The second button was also already under immense pressure and could barely hold on, showing signs of popping open.

On her lower body was a black short mini skirt, revealing two long, straight, white legs. She also wore a pair of long semi transparent black stockings that were adorned with some unknown lettering and extended all the way into the holy area inside her short skirt.

The girl sat on a dining chair with her legs crossed, her toes dangling a swaying high heel.

This was the lord being angrily scolded by Bai Yu: [The Orphan of Zhao]!

The girl was named Zhao Lianxue, 21 years old this year, three years older than Bai Yu. Just like her lord name, she was also an orphan just like Bai Yu.

In order to survive, Zhao Lianxue dropped out of school very early. To repay the orphanage, she worked as an office worker at a company.

But her boss was an old pervert. He wasn't just greasy, but also a bit bald, which made Zhao Lianxue feel grossed out. Seeing that Zhao Lianxue was pretty, he always wanted to enforce the classic workplace policy on her - the unspoken rules. Later, before this bald headed boss's plan could succeed, she transmigrated over to this fantasy world.

Zhao Lianxue had been through a lot in society, and before crossing over, she also enjoyed playing some games, like Genshin something, or some farming type games.

She still had some understanding of games, plus her own cleverness, she was able to quickly adapt to her current predicament.

Zhao Lianxue's unit type were dwarven artisans, ten a day. The dwarven artisans were masters of construction, machinery, smelting, and forging. It could be said that they were good at everything, aside from being a bit lacking in combat power and eating a lot.

On the first day of crossing over, Zhao Lianxue observed the situation around the castle. The area was completely surrounded by mountains, and there were very few wild monsters. This also meant that high level monsters were rare and the danger level was low.

This gave Zhao Lianxue a relatively safe and stable spot to develop.

But the dwarves needed to eat, and they ate quite a lot. Zhao Lianxue told them to go hunting, but the dwarves would often return empty handed.

However, one of their outings actually brought back other dwarves for Zhao Lianxue, all stray refugee dwarves from outside. As long as Zhao Lianxue promised to provide food, they would join her castle.

The dwarf artisans in Zhao Lianxue's castle expanded to two hundred.

Zhao Lianxue inquired from the wandering dwarves and it turned out that the old dwarf king had passed away. Right now, there was a civil war within the dwarven kingdom, with lots of turmoil and division. They were all civilians affected by the war.

Zhao Lianxue felt sorry for them and took them in. Although the efficiency of mining stones greatly increased, the amount of food needed every day also increased…

Later, Zhao Lianxue also roughly understood the combat power of these dwarf artisans and simply gave up on the idea of letting them go hunting. Instead focusing on having them mining stones and then trading the stones for food.

But food was expensive as hell. Although the prices of food had continuously dropped since yesterday, the quantity of cheap food was still too little. Zhao Lianxue could only snag one or two, and sometimes non at all. This small amount was simply not enough. Everyday, Zhao Lianxue just stared at the trading hub, ready to buy up any low priced foods.

Fortunately, her troops were good at mining and there were several mountains outside the castle. The resources flowed in, and with the trading hub, it didn't stop.

No wood, no problem, trade some stone!

No food, no problem, trade some stone!

The most abundant resource here was stones. As the dwarves were mining stone in the mountains, they suddenly discovered iron ore and even found a special building blueprint, making Zhao Lianxue even happier.

The special building was a furnace. Zhao Lianxue successfully unlocked and built the furnace, which smelted the iron ore into iron ingots. It was her first time seeing iron ingots, but she understood that they must be of great use.

Yesterday, the dwarves brought back over a hundred dwarves again, becoming the last straw that broke Zhao Lianxue. Relying on the strategy of snatching up cheap food on the trading hub was already completely useless. Zhao Lianxue had no choice but to turn to the lords who had plenty of food on hand.

Bai Yu for instance. Of course, Zhao Lianxue wasn't stupid, she wouldn't just add Bai Yu alone. It was just that Bai Yu sold the most food so Zhao Lianxue felt that Bai Yu's supply was the most stable.

Today, Zhao Lianxue finally managed to trade a continuous stream of resources like stones, magic crystals, and various other things for wood, and upgraded the castle to lv9.

Zhao Lianxue now also understood the function of iron ingots. The iron mine was so big, and the furnace's output combined with the more than three hundred dwarf artisans inside the castle could produce five hundred iron ingots every day. Upgrading the town required ten thousand iron ingots. At this rate, Zhao Lianxue would need twenty days to upgrade the town.

Zhao Lianxue had her own thoughts and didn't require others.

Seeing that the castle couldn't be upgraded to a town in a short period of time, Zhao Lianxue decisively chose to trade the iron ingots.

By now, most of the lords' castles hadn't reached level 9, and even though they didn't know the function of iron ingots, they would definitely understand that this was a high grade material.

And currently, it seemed that she was the only lord selling iron ingots on the exchange, so she could also learn from other lords and directly list at high prices.

She will make a huge profit. With a self sufficient steady supply of stone, over three hundred dwarven artisans, and even the ability to smelt iron ingots.

She didn't need to rely on anyone at all, she was totally the model protagonist!

Zhao Lianxue was full of confidence at this moment, filled with hope for the days to come. She had already observed around the castle and there was basically no danger. Once the seven day newbie protection period was over, even if a wave of monsters came, it would just be a small matter.
