Is there really a need to spew such venomous words?’1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, the meat and various tools that Fang Hao sells have helped a lot of people. There’s no need for you to hurl such abuses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many of us in this area have survived thanks to Boss Fang Hao. Have you guys lost all your consciousness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! I’m confused, why do you care if we criticize Fang Hao? Is he your father or your mother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, Fang Hao could be dead now. You guys have been praising him so much—are you planning to die with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce argument broke out between those who defended Fang Hao and those who cursed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao was surprised to find such a thing happening, but soon he figured out the reason behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the initial stages after everyone crossed over, people lacked food and tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they didn’t trade with Fang Hao, people wouldn’t deliberately offend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the sixth day since crossing over. Those who had survived so far were already familiar with this world and had figured out the basics of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food and items like iron axes and bathtubs that Fang Hao sold in the channel were no longer indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, some people started to come out and began to verbally slander Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, cursing others does not come with the sense of accomplishment that comes from defying the powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A private chat notification sounded. It was from Dong Jiayue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Hao, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine, just had dinner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, as long as you are okay. Don’t take to heart what people say in the channel. You don’t have to bother with those annoying people,” Dong Jiayue comforted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was worried that Fang Hao might be disillusioned by the incessant abuses on the channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are these people? I don’t seem to have offended them, right?” Fang Hao asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t take it very seriously, but he was still curious to know why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, by watching the chat, he could tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few people were cursely abusing him for no apparent reason, almost as if they had specifically planned this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Jiayue paused for a moment, then replied softly, “I’m not sure, but a few days ago people in the chat were discussing you. There seemed to be some resentment in their words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah? For what reason?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems to be because the prices of your products are low, so they cannot make any profits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao was not in the business of hiking up prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goods he sold were sold to make a profit, but also priced so that others could afford them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the iron axes he sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, making an iron axe would cost 2 iron and 2 wood, while Fang Hao sold them for just 3 iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Price was kept low so those who suddenly got the blueprint for the iron axe could not make huge profits by selling theirs. Since Fang Hao had a higher reputation, if people wanted to buy, they would choose to come to him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these people sold at the same price, no one would buy their products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, so it’s business competition. I was wondering if I had offended them!” Fang Hao exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it should be these people. I’m not sure, but the one who stands out to me is Yao Liang, although he hasn’t said anything today,” Dong Jiayue continued. Yao Liang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this name, Fang Hao instantly remembered who this person was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously obtained the blueprint for the iron axe and was busted by Fang Hao for trying to use his advertising in the channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Yao Liang had angrily sent a private message cursing Fang Hao and wishing him ill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering this, it’s plausible Yao Liang would organize people to verbally attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I get it now, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should be the one thanking you. I haven’t repaid you for the weapon you lent me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two ended their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notifications for private chats kept ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were confirming if Fang Hao was safe and asking about the dispute in the channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao thought for a moment, then opened the world channel and gave a response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine, thank you for your concern. I’ve seen what’s happening in the channel. Please don’t waste your messages on these people. I’ve added a few people to my refused trades list and won’t conduct any transactions with them in the future. Thank you all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he put up for sale 1000 units of meat for people to purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao’s announcement and the food he has put up for sale provoked another uproar in the channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See, Fang Hao is fine! If you’re so tough, don’t buy Fang Hao’s meat… Oh right, you can’t even if you wanted to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People were saying Fang Hao is in trouble, looks like the real trouble is with all of you. He’s not in any trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa there, he’s just selling some food, look how riled up you all are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bunch of sycophants. The moment Fang Hao passes gas, you all celebrate like you’ve won the lottery. You must be used to being sons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao made a statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of calming people down, the channel grew even more chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage.-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food was no longer an absolute necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People could build barracks, recruit soldiers, and go hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they didn’t have enough to sell, but they had enough to feed themselves and the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even if Fang Hao blacklisted these people, they weren’t afraid and continued to mock him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the channel started arguing again…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-awaited system prompt rang in everyone’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations on surviving.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The newbie protection period lasts for another 10 hours.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[When the protection period ends, all surviving lord territories will enter a beast frenzied state, prompting attacks from surrounding warcrafts.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Frenzy of Beast: All wild beasts will enter a bloodthirsty state, all attributes increase by 30%, duration is 24 hours.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Best of luck…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the system finished speaking, another sound echoed in Fang Hao’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Novice task changed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Due to the special nature of your territory, your novice task has been changed to [Subjugation of Fireblade Tribe]. The original task has been cancelled.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Task Description: You killed the son of Chieftain Kent of Fireblade Tribe. The tribe will retaliate with 30,000 warriors against your territory.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Best of luck…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The change in task made Fang Hao frown deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were under attack by beasts, but he was facing an attack from Orcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention 30,000 of them…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number is significant indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, when he wiped out that Orc team, he had anticipated that their tribe would seek revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not expect it to collide with the novice task, thereby causing a change in mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like I need to improve my defenses and increase my troops.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao still had 1372 Wriggling Spines, and a current force of 150,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were still Tier 1 soldiers, he wasn’t fazed by the onslaught of Orcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such many troops, he could exhaust them to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He switched back to the regional channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, I have to set traps to hunt a single warcraft, this beast frenzy is going to be the death of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exchanging wall blueprints, who has one? Offering a higher price, hurry up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t need walls, who has wooden fence blueprints? I’ll exchange it with iron.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confronted with the frenzy of beasts, everyone’s first thought was to fortify their lands before launching an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walls are the most effective, but even with the blueprints, the vast resources required are more than most people can afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people opted for a lesser alternative and decided to build wooden fences instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trading resources for equipment, exchanging for weapons now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, who has iron weapons? I’m still using a bone spear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember a few days ago, someone exchanged a blueprint for an iron spear from a beast he caught in the river. Anyone remember who he swapped with?” “Oh right, I think that happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember, he used a hardwood shield blueprint to exchange weapons from Fang Hao. Should be an iron spear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, so that means Fang Hao has got iron spears and hardwood shields..”\u003C\u002Fp>",1415,"2026-05-30T09:05:30.600Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","0a388401c1b44ea91c9e19669238f748e4267d98da80bc8acd20bf31db533504","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-43","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-41",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
