Chapter 3

Black Rock Town is a small town located next to Red Leaf Town, surrounded by several large mines. It is also the wealthiest of the thirty-eight towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Boulder City.

A tall, blue-eyed, aquiline-nosed man with a sinister gleam in his eyes sat in a luxurious room and sneered coldly, "Zhao Jiang, that good-for-nothing, wants to mortgage Red Leaf Town to borrow five thousand gold coins to help Miss Cici redeem herself? Ha ha, to sell his ancestors' legacy for just a woman, what a waste!"

This tall, white man was Baron Kirov, the master of Black Rock Town. He ruled Black Rock Town with an iron fist, and everyone in the town would tremble in fear at the mention of his name.

"If I had known he was such a waste, I wouldn't have risked hiring the Black Scorpion to assassinate him. I wasted five hundred gold coins for nothing." Baron Kirov frowned, puzzled, and muttered, "The Black Scorpion said they killed Zhao Jiang. What's going on? Could they be lying to get the reward?"

After a long moment of contemplation, Baron Kirov looked up at a man in a butler's uniform standing beside him and said, "Jero, go tell Zhao Jiang that I will lend him two thousand five hundred gold coins at a monthly interest rate of four percent. Red Leaf Town is only worth two thousand five hundred gold coins. He must repay the principal and interest in full within two months."

Jero bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, my lord!"

Baron Kirov smiled smugly, "In two months, Red Leaf Town will be mine! If I can get my hands on this gem of a town, I can earn at least two thousand gold coins a year."

Red Leaf Town is an ideal place for farming, surrounded by vast tracts of land. The Zhao family has always been suppressed by Boulder City and Kirov, which is why they are in such a dire situation, unable to even come up with a thousand gold coins.

If Kirov controls Red Leaf Town, he can easily profit by bringing in immigrants from other places to cultivate the land.

Red Leaf Town.

"Being a minor noble in this backward world is not as comfortable as being a commoner in the modern world!" Yang Feng walked down the streets of Red Leaf Town, sighing in frustration.

In this world, there are no televisions, no internet, no drinks, and entertainment is almost nonexistent.

Breakfast was white bread and potato soup, lunch was the same, and dinner was white bread and meat soup. After a few days, Yang Feng felt his stomach couldn't take it anymore.

However, seeing the other residents of Red Leaf Town eating the same hard, black bread and water every day, Yang Feng felt his meals were already quite good.

In Red Leaf Town, Yang Feng had immense power, and even if he forcibly took a woman, there was no law to stop him. However, there were only a few dozen young girls in the town, none of whom were particularly attractive. Finding a beautiful girl was difficult.

In fact, with Shen Lei's power, he could have all the unmarried girls in the town willing to come to his bed with just a nod. But he found none of them appealing.

Zhao Jiang remained single because he couldn't find a girl he liked in Red Leaf Town.

In summary, Yang Feng, the mayor and baron of Red Leaf Town, enjoyed a life that was even worse than that of an ordinary modern citizen on Earth.

Yang Feng crossed Red Leaf Town and entered a small house in the northern wasteland.

As soon as he entered the room, Yang Feng shouted loudly, "3796, let's start! I can't wait any longer!"

"Yes, Master, please choose your creation!" 3796's hands emitted a series of lights, and various modern-style buildings and equipment appeared in the air.

Yang Feng quickly made his choice, "First, we need energy! Let's start with one hundred units of solar energy collectors!"

3796 can synthesize any material using energy, and its actions also consume a lot of energy. Energy is its life. In the current relatively peaceful situation, Yang Feng chose to build energy collectors.

Solar energy collectors are the most suitable for energy collection at the moment.

3796 quickly went outside, extended its hand, and a blue light shot out, illuminating a pile of iron ore.

The iron ore quickly decomposed into steel blocks and various materials under the blue light.

The steel blocks and materials twisted together, forming countless parts, which automatically assembled into a solar energy collector under the blue light.

As soon as a solar energy collector was formed, a thin line extended from 3796's body, piercing the bottom of the collector to absorb its energy.

Every half hour, another solar energy collector appeared in the wasteland.

After a day, forty-eight solar energy collectors were spread across the wasteland.

After two days, ninety-six solar energy collectors appeared.

On the third day, a three-meter-tall cylindrical engineering robot with sixteen mechanical arms, each equipped with a drill, hammer, pliers, welding torch, and other tools, appeared beside 3796.

On the fourth day, the number of engineering robots increased to three, and the solar energy collectors to two hundred.

On the fifth day, the number of engineering robots increased to nine, and the solar energy collectors to three hundred.

On the sixth day, the number of engineering robots increased to twenty-seven, and the solar energy collectors to four hundred.

On the seventh day, the number of engineering robots increased to eighty-one, and the solar energy collectors to five hundred.

On the eighth day, the number of engineering robots increased to two hundred and forty-three, and the solar energy collectors to six hundred.

On the ninth day, the wasteland underwent a dramatic transformation, with factories appearing almost out of nowhere, and the sound of machinery filling the air.

On the tenth day, two thousand solar energy collectors sprang up in the wasteland, absorbing energy like wildflowers.

The once barren land, covered in rocks and unsuitable for farming, had become a vast industrial zone, with factories scattered throughout, emitting the sounds of machinery.

"Welcome, Master!"

As Yang Feng approached the industrial zone, two warriors with long swords on their backs knelt down in unison at the gate, speaking in cold, mechanical voices.

Yang Feng glanced at the two warriors, who looked almost identical to humans, and said nothing, walking directly into the factory.

The two warriors stood up in unison after Yang Feng entered the factory, moving in perfect synchronization.

Yang Feng walked into the largest factory.

Inside, a large metal sphere hung from the ceiling, with numerous mechanical arms extending from it, acting as tools to assemble parts from the production line into robots.

Many robots walked off the production line and immediately left the factory, entering other factories to work, extracting metals, and manufacturing parts.

3796 approached Yang Feng and asked, "Master, do you have any instructions?"

Yang Feng said, "I came to check on the production in the factory. Give me a report!"

3796 replied, "We currently have three hundred and seventy-eight production-type robots. If needed, we can build five hundred more in a day. However, I must remind you that we are running low on iron ore. We need a large amount of iron ore now."
