Chapter 816: Chapter 311: The Operation Begins, First Camp!

“Oh? Arrived at the Village Chief’s house?”

“There should be some good stuff hidden here, right?”

Although the supplies inside likely have already been searched by the Light Church, there might still be some missed treasures.

Crossing the small courtyard at the entrance, he headed straight to the three-story small house ahead, where a wooden door blocked him.

“Creak!”

The heavy wooden door was pushed open.

Cao Xing swaggered directly inside.

The Village Chief’s house was large, unlike those of ordinary villagers.

Upon entering, it was a wide hall, with many wooden cabinets on the side, and numerous scattered tables and chairs.

Cao Xing began quickly rummaging through the cabinets and drawers to search.

Most of it was some miscellaneous items, scissors, spools, candlesticks, etc…

Cao Xing wasn’t picky and took everything.

[Obtained: Rusty Scissors*2]

[Obtained: Candlestick*1]

[Obtained: Linen Spool*2]

[Obtained…]

…

Although, with his assets, these trinkets couldn’t offer much value.

However, Mr. Cao adhered to the “three grabs” policy and naturally wouldn’t leave any corner unchecked.

If not for those wooden furniture on the ground taking up too much space in his backpack, he wanted to take them all back.

Burning them as wood isn’t a bad idea.

No choice, the territory currently lacks resources!

After finishing with the living room, Cao Xing then entered the bedroom next door.

This place seemed untouched.

Cao Xing spotted a few books on the cabinet by the bed.

Took them all away.

[Obtained Book: The Child Who Raises Horses]

[Obtained Book: Gede’s Song]

[Obtained Book: One Night of the Flirty Widow]

…

“Not bad, not bad, I gained three more books.”

When Cao Xing noticed the quilt on the bed, he immediately recognized that this quilt was of high quality.

Directly stashed it in the backpack.

[Obtained: Silk Quilt (Blue)]*1

…

“Tsk tsk, as expected from the Village Chief’s room, even the quilt is made of silk.”

“Sleeping covered with this must be very comfortable.”

After searching through this room.

He went to other bedrooms and also combed through the kitchen area completely.

Then proceeded to the second and third floors.

Soon, this three-story small villa was fully searched by him.

The total haul was:

[Coins]*7243

[Silk Quilt]*4

[Condiments (Fine salt, Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar)]*12

[Books]*5

[Vitality Secret Medicine]*2

[Tiger Penis Wine]*2 cans

And some other miscellaneous stuff.

…

Cao Xing frowned slightly.

Clearly, this amount of gain didn’t satisfy him.

Although there were over seven thousand crowns.

But considering this was the Village Chief of a village, this amount of resources was too meager.

Thus, Cao Xing wasn’t convinced.

After coming out of the room, he circled the courtyard again.

Under the scan of [True Vision], those low-level hidden areas mostly couldn’t escape his eyes.

And in a corner of the house, Cao Xing indeed discovered something suspicious.

It was a stone, right at the bottom of the wall.

He stepped forward and kicked it, discovering that this stone was loose!

The next moment, a message appeared in front of him.

[Hidden Passage Door of the Village Chief’s House]

[Durability: 500]

[Attached Effect: None]

…

“Haha, I knew there was a hidden area!”

Seeing this, Cao Xing casually threw an Ice Ball Skill at it.

“Bang!”

The stone was directly shattered into pieces.

Then, a narrow passageway that could barely fit one person, dark inside, appeared in front of Cao Xing.

He was bold and skilled, jumping straight in without hesitation.

[You have entered the hidden area of Zawada Village, the hidden passage of the Village Chief’s house…]

…

This passage wasn’t long.

Cao Xing held up a Magic Stone Torch, groping forward in the dark of this passageway.

Soon reached a relatively spacious spot.

And just at this moment.

A chilling wind howled in!

Four groups of ghostly green flames instantly lit up around!

Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t ghostly fire, but four Resentful Spirits floating mid-air!

They all had disheveled hair, faces filled with venom and rage!

And they were staring intently at Cao Xing!

One of the Resentful Spirits screeched in a sharp voice, “Get out!”

If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably be scared out of their wits!

“Wow, are you guys filming a horror movie?”

But Cao Xing was alright, seeing those Resentful Spirits pouncing, he directly raised his Magic Wand!

Then launched [Ice Breaking Flying Blade].

Bang! Bang bang!

[-11942]

[-11732]

[-10321]

Three ice balls exploded, bursting out a large number of ice thorns, causing the second stage of group attack damage.

“Puff! Puff puff!”

[-3661]

[-3652]

[-3527]

…

In an instant, four resentful spirits let out a scream and were all killed on the spot.

[You killed the Resentful Spirit of the Village Chief lv21, third-tier ordinary creature, gained experience value: 0]

[You killed the Resentful Spirit of the Village Chief’s wife lv23, third-tier ordinary creature, gained experience value: 0]

[You killed…]

…

…

Cao Xing was taken aback, “Uh, did I just take down the resentful spirits of the Village Chief’s entire family?”

With a glance, he saw four corpses in the corner.

Beside one of the corpses was a half-written letter.

[Obtained: Alikexie’s Last Words]

…

Cao Xing opened it and took a glance, finding it was written by the Village Chief’s son.

When the hunters entered the village, their family wasn’t discovered.

So they took the opportunity to hide in the hidden passage.

However, in their rush, none of them brought food or water.

Over time, they all were tormented by hunger into insanity.

The Village Chief and his wife discussed, letting their son sacrifice a leg, but the son refused and hoped his mother would offer her body instead.

They had a disagreement, then fought, injuring each other, ultimately starving to death here.

Cao Xing was speechless, finding this family quite ridiculous, almost starving yet not trying their luck outside.

Ignoring the bodies on the ground, Cao Xing started ransacking the basement.

On one of the shelves, he did indeed find something good.

What seemed to be an iron box.

Approaching for a closer look.

[Found an unlocked money box, open it?]

“Oh? A money box?”

He clicked ’Yes’ without hesitation.

[Obtained: Coins*273213]

[Obtained: Gold Bar (1000g)*4]

…

“Haha, two hundred seventy-three thousand Crowns, and 4 kilograms of gold, what a profit!”

Judging by the market, these four gold bars are worth 200,000 Crowns, totaling nearly 500,000 Crowns in gains.

If Cao Xing hadn’t come in, it would have been missed.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the corner of a treasure box under a pile of clutter in the corner.

“Huh? Something else?”

Cao Xing moved closer for a look.

This treasure box was also covered in dust, but upon close inspection, a faint golden sheen could still be seen!

“Oh wow, a Golden Treasure Box, this trip was worth it!”

With a look of excitement, Cao Xing walked over.

[Found an unlocked Golden Treasure Box, open it?]

“Yes.”

[Opened successfully]

[Obtained: Ice Mountain Fall Skill Book (Gold)*1]

[Obtained: Basic Library Construction Blueprint*1]

[Obtained: Demon Pattern Stone*5]

[Obtained: Constant Gold Ingot*8]

[Obtained: Advanced Magic Energy Crystal*3]

…

“A golden skill book, and a library construction blueprint!”

“This box opening feels awesome!”

With a pleased look, Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

[Ice Mountain Fall Skill Book (Gold): Frost Mage exclusive skill book]

[Skill Effect: Summons 3 small ice mountains that fall over the enemy’s head, causing 3 times 157% group attack damage within a 50-meter range below, cooling time: 90 seconds]

…

“Nice, a very pure group attack skill.”

“If I don’t enter the Demon Transformation State now, I only have one Extreme Ice Blossom skill for group attacks, but this skill has a long startup.”

“This Ice Mountain Fall nicely compensates for that flaw.”

Cao Xing immediately clapped his hands and clicked to learn.

[Successfully learned skill book: Ice Mountain Fall…]

… Official source is NovєlFіre.net

Then he glanced at the attributes of the other blueprint.

[Basic Library Construction Blueprint]

[Armor: 50]

[Durability Value: 300]

[Building Area: 159 square meters]

[Number of books that can be placed: 3000]

[Building Effect: Can increase the attribute enhancement gained after reading books by 10%]

[Construction conditions: Lord’s Hut level 3, Wood*200, Stone*100, Iron*20, Basic Elemental Crystal*10…]

(Note: A building that can increase territory prosperity and enhance subject happiness, recommended to be built soon…)

…

“Now that we have the library construction blueprint, my territory is indeed becoming more civilized.”

Up to this point, all the gains from this hidden area had been completely collected by him.

Cao Xing hadn’t expected to gain so many good things in this Village Chief’s basement.

At this moment, the sound of electric currents buzzed in his ear.

Sarah’s voice sounded in his ear, “Lord, we have found the food storage area of this village.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing was instantly thrilled!

Attacking these camps was partly for honor points and partly for the food.

Now, the moment of harvest had finally arrived!
