Chapter 243: Chapter 157: Rolled Sothing Good
When Cheng Zongyang erged from the cave, the bright moon was already high in the sky.
He gazed at the flawless, pristine moon, his mind churning with a thousand thoughts.
He needed to properly digest the vast amount of information he had learned from the six n and adjust his plans accordingly.
Suppressing his thoughts, he took a torch and descended the mountain.
There were two night patrol teams that took turns patrolling the entire village.
When the patrol mbers saw a torch coming down from the mountain, they hurried over.
The night patrol captain was a Martial Artist. If a beast from the Inner Mountain happened to enter the village, they would be able to handle it.
"Young Clan Leader!" Seeing that it was Cheng Zongyang, the patrol captain, Zhang Changjiang, quickly clasped his hands in respect.
"Zhang Changjiang?" Cheng Zongyang recognized him and asked with a smile, "Is it your turn for the night shift?"
Zhang Changjiang clasped his hands again and replied happily, "Yes, Young Clan Leader. It’s my turn to be on the night shift for the next seven days. Tonight is the first night."
"Good. Thanks for your hard work. Carry on." Cheng Zongyang gave a slight nod and headed back to his residence.
Since there were only eight Martial Artists from the Foreign Race, they were basically all pulling double duty.
If the Hunting Hall’s rotating shifts didn’t require them to enter the mountain, they would split into one team for village patrol and four teams for mountain patrol outside the village. Zhang Guangwen was an Instructor at the Martial Arts Hall and also served as the captain of the dayti mountain patrol team.
However, the dayti village patrol didn’t require Martial Artists, so the manpower pressure was much lower. They were only needed for the night shift.
Naturally, their Contribution Point rewards were also much higher.
Upon reaching his ho, Cheng Zongyang took a quick, cold shower and returned to his room.
Because the house had been rebuilt, the two brothers now had their own rooms, but the little girl still stayed with their parents. She was still young, after all.
In his room, Cheng Zongyang trimd the lamp’s wick to brighten the light, then took out a brush and paper. He organized the information he had obtained in his mind before writing it down, putting everything in a clear and orderly fashion.
A little under half an hour later, Cheng Zongyang stared at the contents on the few sheets of rough-edged paper on his desk, deep in thought.
’The village now has fourteen Martial Artists, including a few clan mbers. In another half a month, the second batch of students should also reach Entry Grade. But the pace of developnt is still too slow.’
Cheng Zongyang’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
’Before I learned about the Thirteen Royal Families, I thought the family’s developnt was already quite fast.’
’But now I know I was taking things for granted. It still feels too slow.’
But he also knew that developing a family was not sothing that could be rushed.
Whether it was acquiring resources to train Martial Artists, winning the loyalty of the Foreign Race Martial Artists, the growth of family mbers, or exchanging for resources in the County Town, these things were all asured in years.
The Cheng Family had only reached its current level because he had the Wilderness World to rely on.
Relatively speaking, to have achieved this much in just seven or eight months had already surpassed countless other Lower Three Grade Families.
But this also ant that the Wilderness World itself had seen no progress in expansion.
According to his initial plan, the early stage was to support developnt in the outside world, and later, use the silver taels and other earnings from the outside to reinvest in the Wilderness World!
But because of the continuous chaos in the County Town, the plan was still at a standstill!
Although this chaos had shattered all the established powers in the County Town, allowing for a complete reset and giving him an opportunity.
Now that the opportunity had appeared, he had also drafted a plan to buy low in the County Town and start farming. But he still had to hold on for four more months!
In four months, perhaps the war would be settled, and his harvest would be enough to supply the Cheng Family Village’s demand for dicinal Materials for the next six months, or even a year. In the coming year, by using the Growth Liquid, he could create a self-sustaining cycle of breeding, planting, and village resources!
But he also needed to ensure his own interests were not hard!
’Anyone who dares to make a move... I’ll chop off their hands!’ Cheng Zongyang’s gaze turned icy.
This ti, with the established powers in the County Town wiped out, and with his own strength now at a level where he could basically handle things, he would not let his plans fall through again!
The family was in the Inner Mountain, so he basically didn’t have to worry about its safety.
If there was a truly extre danger, the backup Geomagnetic Stones the elders had could completely seal off the only path to the Inner Mountain! No one would be able to take a single step into Cheng Family Village!
The Geomagnetic Stones created a hundred-ter-wide zone that extended fifty ters up from the ground. Who could jump to a height of fifty ters from a hundred ters away to enter the village?
’An Innate Expert? Or a Martial Artist of the Upper Three Grades?’
Therefore, what he had to do was start laying out his plans for the County Town and prepare for the family’s future move!
In the future, whether rule returned to Da Liang or fell to the Thirteen Royal Families, his power would be largely established, and he would surely have a place in the County Town!
All the established powers were gone. Now was a complete reset, and this chaotic new beginning was the best opportunity!
This was countless tis easier than trying to develop in the city from the start and facing all sorts of entrenched powers!
Cheng Zongyang worked until midnight, making slight modifications to his original plans.
He took out his watch and glanced at it. It was already past three in the morning.
He extinguished the nearly burnt-out oil lamp, locked the door from the inside, and imdiately entered the Wilderness World.
Today was once again the day the item shop refreshed.
Cheng Zongyang first looked at the acquisition list, then walked outside. As he opened the door, he heard the SQUEAKING sounds of so creature. He glanced at it but paid it no mind, writing down the types of fish he needed to collect on a board.
There were only two types, for a total of four hundred Points.
The number of fish was dwindling, and it would take more ti to sort through them. Thus, he had to let Ma San and the others take their ti over the next three days.
After writing it down, he returned to the small cabin and looked at the item shop.

Seeing the first item, Cheng Zongyang didn’t have much of a reaction.
