Everyone here knows me, the human hero, Hodge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beer was placed before Hodge. The tavern owner discreetly signaled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hodge, his gaze never left the pint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the beer was served, he gulped down a few mouthfuls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, you really do have a blueprint for dealing with the Blood Clan?” the woman continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hodge, taken aback: “Burp! Indeed I do. I remember the last bloke who sat here asked the same question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s make a deal. I’ll treat you to a few more drinks, and you pass me the blueprint,” proposed the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal, at least one more pint, no, five, no, at least ten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman took out a wad of cash and tossed it on the counter, “Ten pints for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear to the tavern owner that this woman was no ordinary patron – her clothing and demeanor suggested that she was not a mere mercenary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More likely, she was a bandit from the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, he’s an alcoholic who comes here every day boasting about this and that. Don’t take him seriously. Here, take your money back,” replied the owner, pushing the cash back towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried that Hodge would start some trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give him ten pints, use the remaining money for some bar snacks, salty ones,” the woman commanded in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner, resigned, pocketed the money and brought Hodge ten pints of beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the ten pints were gulped down by Old Hodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the beer was down his gullet, the woman continued, “According to the agreement, can you give me the blueprint now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, very well, but, but this time, I, I didn’t bring it along. I’ll give it to you the next time we meet.” Hodge said and staggered out of the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman and her entourage exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They followed closely behind and also exited the tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner shookhis head in resignation, “It looks like poor Hodge has angered the wrong person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fang Hao returned to his territory, the night had already enveloped the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bone Dragon descended in the city, and Fang Hao leapt off its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send the bodies to the Skeleton Conversion Field, and carry all these gold and gemstones to the underground basement of the city lord’s mansion,” Fang Hao commanded loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skeleton Trolls leapt off the dragon’s back and went about their tasks according to Fang Hao’s instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies were those who had died in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struck by the Bone Dragon’s death breath, they had turned into white bones. They were actually quite easy to transport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much hope for the Gnolls to be transformed into anything useful. The real question was whether any of the Spider Aberration had useful abilities after transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning to the City Lord’s mansion, Eira came out to meet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, was everything smooth today?” Eira asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it was not only smooth but also quite rewarding.” Fang Hao smiled and sat down into the chair in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skeleton Trolls carrying chests full of coins and gemstones came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eira looked surprised, “Wow, there’s so much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eira, is dinner ready?” Anjia rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It will be ready shortly, please wait here.” After saying this, Eira went back into the kitchen to continue her preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a sumptuous dinner was served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to their late return, Lorrey missed the usual dinnertime with the maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all sat together at the dining room table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they started eating than the two of them began recounting the day’s adventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eira sat in the middle, between them, listening with keen interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed, they should bring Eira and the others out for a stroll sometime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being cooped up in the territory all the time was dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could tell how much she loved the stories Anjia and Lorrey were telling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the three of them were engrossed in their conversation, Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords to pass the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He switched to the regional channel to see what everyone was chatting about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“[BlackIron Single-handed Axe (Green),] a green-quality axe, a powerful weapon for combat. Those interested, make an offer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The number of units proficient in single-handed axes is so few, yet you’re selling it so expensively.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unless there’s a special unit, the normal ones using battle axes are just burdens. The attack speed is too slow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The battle axe isn’t selling, huh? Look at the pickaxe Fang Hao’s been trying to sell for over a month, how many has he sold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, the way you talk, I’m starting to lose confidence…maybe I should lower my price?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much for the Black Iron Single-handed Axe? How many do you have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone voiced a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao recognized the man asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Xu Yang, the man who had connected him with the troll business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“4 units of iron or an equivalent amount of resources each. I have 12 in stock, if you need them, I can work overnight to make them for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal! Let’s talk more in private.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their conversation ended, likely continuing privately to discuss pricing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s intent to buy equipment gave Fang Hao pause for thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was subject to the trolls and acted more like a slave leader, mining resources for the trolls or assisting with other tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trolls didn’t even allow him to recruit troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Yang is now buying these axes, he could be buying them for the trolls, or maybe something else is going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe is quite similar to a lumberjack’s axe, which is used to gather resources. Perhaps he plans to store some weapons, using their similar appearance as a front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s the second reason, something might have happened among the trolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe the trolls’ power is decreasing, giving Xu Yang a chance to strike back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts, Fang Hao observed as the channel’s chat continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I cleared a bandit camp with some NPCs yesterday and got some equipment. They’re already listed for sale, anyone interested can check it out. Very good prices!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, you’re clearing bandit camps now? The bandits in my territory still come down to collect protection money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also joined the natives’ attack, I couldn’t have done it alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As others continued their chat, Fang Hao closed his Book of Lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he comfortably soaked himself in a hot spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rejuvenating effect of the Rejuvenation Spring, eliminating all his fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to his room, he could enjoy a good night’s sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back in the corner of the pool with his head resting on the edge, closing his eyes to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the door opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light footsteps approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F ang Hao opened his eyes and saw fox – girl Little White walking in with a fruit platter in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat down by the pool, carefully laying Fang Hao’s head on her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up a piece of fruit with her delicate fingers and led it to Fang Hao’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a gentle tone, she said, “Master, I’d like to discuss the hot pot restaurant’s plan, so I can prepare accordingly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hot pot restaurant in Pruell City had been closed for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that the owner of the tavern across the street had joined their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she had already led her team to manage Lyss’s shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden sense of urgency rose in Little White’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his eyes closed, resting on her soft thigh, Fang Hao thought for a while before saying, “You can return to Pruell City tomorrow, I will arrange accommodations for you in the city, and improve your living conditions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyril and the followers of the city’s elite, after taking Fielding’s Sacred Blood, were all killed by Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numerous estates they left behind were at Fang Hao’s disposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This happened to be convenient for him to arrange accommodations for Little White and the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they wouldn’t have to stay at the shop all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, thank you, Master.” Little White’s face beamed with happiness as she fed another piece of fruit into Fang Hao’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like Fang Hao had no intention of replacing her. He must have follow-up plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm, Pruell is still too small. I plan on opening shops in various Orc cities after we resume operations. You’ll be responsible for dealing with that,” Fang Hao mumbled as he chewed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Orc area was not so chaotic after Fang Hao unified it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to open hot pot restaurants in cities like Manim Market and Frostwind City, with high population mobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was just a preliminary idea. Whether Orcs would accept the taste of hot pot still needed market testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, Anjia, Eira, and the fox and bunny girls seemed to like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, master, I’ll work hard.” Little White promised exuberantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her master still valued her, entrusting future business to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretively, Little White glanced around before looking again at the resting Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned red as she came closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao suddenly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little White looked at him with a soft gaze, with a triumphant smile in her eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can one blame King Zhou?\u003C\u002Fp>",1643,"2026-05-30T09:05:30.880Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b695da4c1cd43f290ed421e39be7c2a85cc9cd539745482d568b3bd01be2eb5","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-297","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-295",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
