My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

Chapter 36



Chapter 36: Recruiting Subordinates

Ten minutes later, Golden Flash strutted across the farm and wiped its drooling mouth with its claws.

There were two sneaky people outside just now, peeping in. No one knew what they were up to. After it sensed their auras, it only took two steps out before the two people fled in panic.

It would have to tell its master about this later. Perhaps its master would reward it with its favorite Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs. As the only Gold-tier magical beast in the family with combat strength, its master had given it the responsibility of guarding the manor and it could not disappoint its master.

After taking two steps, the Golden Flash came to a palace that was more than a meter tall. It was entirely made of black jade. That was the nest where it stayed.

In front of the palace, two Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens had just climbed over the fence next door. They bowed their heads respectfully to it, flapped their wings, and put down two colored eggs as tribute.

Two days ago, a human guard tried to steal the eggs, but was discovered by Golden Flash. The Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens, who were initially hostile towards it, changed their minds about it. Other than Emperor Cluck, who still looked down on him arrogantly, the other birds now treated it as one of their own.

Golden Flash walked into the palace and lay on the soft ground made of feathers. He pointed with his claws and signaled for the two Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens to come in. He hugged them on both sides, revealing a human-like expression of enjoyment.

Being by Watson’s side was blissful.

It never had such treatment back in Miles Manor. It now lived in a comfortable nest, and when it was hungry, it would call out twice and someone would respectfully bring it cooked food. When it was tired, it could hug female beasts. That was life, or rather, the pinnacle of beast life.

It had just scared the two messengers and did not make a move. It was not that it did not eat people, but after living a pampered life, it no longer cared about raw meat. Raw meat was fishy, unpalatable, and never as delicious as cooked and fragrant roasted meat.

Golden Flash was enjoying it when footsteps suddenly came from outside.

It raised its head and saw that it was none other than its master, Watson. Its eyes immediately lit up, and it quickly ran out and climbed onto Watson’s shoulder. If it wanted to live a more comfortable life, it had to work harder to please the young master.

“Golden Flash, I just heard your warning cry. Did something happen?”

Watson used his fingers to smooth Golden Flash’s silky hair and asked.

Watson had originally left the mansion with the intent of going back after taking a short walk outside. He had not expected to hear Golden Flash’s voice. After spending so many days together, he had already been able to understand the meaning behind Golden Flash’s cry.

Golden Flash whimpered softly and used its small claws to draw a few times on Watson’s shoulder.

“You said that there were two outsiders who were leaning on the wall to look and were scared away by you?”

Golden Flash hurriedly nodded and raised its small head arrogantly, as if it was saying, “See, I’m awesome.”.

“Well done. Tomorrow, I’ll get someone to prepare two more pieces of roasted meat and give you an extra meal.” Watson stroked Golden Flash’s head and looked pensive “Could it be a thief that came here in the middle of the night? Forget it, even if it’s a thief, they won’t be able to steal anything with Golden Flash around.”

These days, the family had been building a castle, attracting many people from the nearby farms to come and visit. Everyone was envious. Some farmers even sent people to send out large amounts of wheat and magical beast meat to express their goodwill. Now, there were still 300 catties of meat and 500 catties of wheat piled in the kitchen. The meat would last an entire month even if he ate it every day.

After seeing Golden Flash, Watson was even more determined to recruit people. Although the castle only covered a few kilometers now, in the future, the area would expand to dozens of square kilometers, or hundreds of square kilometers. Golden Flash alone was definitely not enough to protect it.

..

The next morning, Zeke and Zenoah set out with the two business groups. Their mighty caravans disappeared into the dust like a long dragon.

The two business groups took away the sixteen pieces of Arcana Mithril that Watson had fused. It would be half a month or a month before they met again, and by then, the family would have tens of thousands of gold coins and a lot of materials. The family was short of ores to expand, and after recruiting people, they had to make weapons for the guards. As a result, they needed some weapons as well as needed farm tools for farming.

They could just leave all that to Zeke and Zenoah, as they were well aware of what their family lacked.

Watson stood beside his parents and waved at the people from the caravan to send them off. The family suddenly lost more than twenty people, and became quiet, which made him feel a little disappointed.

Watson was not in high spirits and therefore went to the farmland.

Since he had just cleared the weeds, the wheat seeds that were scattered in the farmland had not yet sprouted. Watson urged his light-type combat aura to promote photosynthesis. Then, he cast a Bronze-level spell, the Rainstorm, to moisten the farmland for a while. After that, he went to the breeding farm to tend to the magical beasts.

The Sun was setting, and it was almost evening. It was about time for Watson to practice his combat aura, so Vincent followed along.

Ever since Watson became a Bronze-tier warrior, there was very little that his eldest brother could teach him. Instead, his eldest brother wanted to learn light-type combat aura from him.

After the integration of the system, knowledge would automatically appear in his mind. It was equivalent to having mastered a set of light-type combat aura cultivation methods. If his big brother could convert fire-type combat aura into light-type combat aura, his strength would still be several times stronger even if his realm did not increase. However, whether or not Vincent could actually master it would depend on Vincent’s own talent.

A month passed by just like that.

A piece of news spread from the Blackmoon Castle and swept through all the large farms nearby.

“Have you heard? Blackmoon Castle is recruiting people. They say that you’ll be able to eat meat for every meal as long as you become one of their guards. You’ll be paid one gold coin a month, and those who perform well will have a chance to get the eggs of the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken.”

A guard said mysteriously in front of a small farm one kilometer away from Blackmoon Castle.

The farms at the border were distributed according to the land. Farms existed wherever there was good land. The distance was several kilometers, and the nearest one was only separated by a wall. For example, there were two farms a few hundred meters away from the farm where the guard was.

The companion beside the guard curled his lips when he heard that. “This news of yours is outdated. What’s the point of eating meat? I heard that becoming a guard of Blackmoon Castle gives you a chance to be personally guided by Young Master Watson in your combat aura training. You know who Young Master Watson is, right? He’s a famous young Silver-tier warrior. Unfortunately, Blackmoon Castle only needs Bronze-tier professionals. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance. The one person in our farm who has the qualification is our captain.”

“What are you guys mumbling about during your work time?”

At that moment, a bald man walked out from behind the two guards and reprimanded them with a cold face. “Aren’t you afraid that the farmer will deduct your wages?”

The two guards kept quiet and quickly straightened their backs. Speak of the devil, that man was their captain.

“Oh right, what you guys said just now, about the recruitment of people in Blackmoon Castle, tell me in detail,” the bald man asked again after glancing around and seeing that there was no one else there.

Tch!

The two guards secretly despised him, but they did not dare to show disrespect and therefore told him everything they knew.

Similar things happened in many farms around.

“Have you heard? Blackmoon Castle is recruiting.”

“I heard about it long ago. I’m preparing to go there. Are you going?”

“Of course I’m going. Aside from the eggs of the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken and the opportunity to learn combat aura, the salary of one gold coin a month and meat for every meal is enough for me to go. I must go. I don’t even have the chance to eat meat once a week right now.”

The news spread like a storm. Some people were happy while others were sad. The ones who were happy were naturally the Bronze-tier professionals. The ones who were worried were the people who were not strong enough and the small farmers. They did not have many subordinates to begin with, and Blackmoon Castle’s actions probably meant that many were going to leave.

That day happened to be the day that Blackmoon Castle recruited guards. Early in the morning, more than ten guards with extraordinary bearing stood at the gate of the castle. They were discussing excitedly while waiting for the castle gates to open.
