Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

only well in Twilight City.
Then, they took out a big pot from somewhere and began to boil water.

Richard stood at the side and watched this scene silently.

The lively scene was like the New Year celebrations when he was a child.

The residents with smiles on their faces were particularly infectious.

The more rustic they were, the more touching they were.

His sense of strangeness to this world had quietly disappeared a lot.

After observing the surroundings for a moment, his gaze was attracted by the well.

Water was the absolute lifeline in the desert.

The construction of the well in Twilight City was very primitive.

Deep pits were dug in the ground to the location of the underground water.
And stones were built around the pits to hold the soil in place so that it would not collapse.

After the underground water seeped out, they tied the barrel with a rope and hung it up.

This well was placed in the home of an ordinary resident and could be used by a dozen people without any problems.

However, this was Twilight City.
It was Richard’s territory.

With only this well, what would happen to the development of the city in the future?

Richard felt a little uneasy.

While he was thinking, the white-haired Karu walked to his side.

The old man wiped the sweat off his forehead.
His thin and weak body was like a tree that had shed leaves in winter.

However, his old body could not offset his excitement.

“My Lord, I have just estimated that after removing the fur, bones, and internal organs, each wild wolf can leave about 150 units of meat.
Twenty-five wild wolves can produce a total of nearly 4,000 units.”

According to the system’s calculations, one kilogram of food was one unit.

“Moreover, the internal organs and bones can also be eaten.
Just this food alone will be enough for us to last for three days.”

“The meat can be dried and stored.
Four thousand units are enough for us to consume for 20 days.”

“With this calculation, including our original food, our current reserves are enough for us to consume for 25 days.
Save a little bit, and a month will be easy.”

Karu’s tone was exceptionally excited, and the wrinkles on his face had eased a lot.

Richard nodded.
The harvest from this trip was indeed rich.

Three resource points, 30 long-armed laborers, level 2 mummies, and a huge amount of food from the hunt…

…It could be said to be a huge profit.

But at this time, Richard’s mind was attracted by other things.

Pointing at the well in front of him, he asked in a deep voice.

“Is there a water source around the territory?”

1

Karu shook his head.

“No, we didn’t find it.
It was because we found this well a few days ago that we decided to leave it behind…”

After saying that, Karu looked a little hesitant.

“My Lord, we might be able to arrange for a portion of our people to search for a water source, or rebuild a well.”

“The water output from this well isn’t enough.
These few days, the water supply for over a hundred people is very tight.
If this goes on, I’m afraid… I’m afraid the water in the well will dry up.”

Richard raised his eyebrows.

Lack of water was a fatal thing in the desert.

If there was nothing to eat, they could go hunting.
If there was no water to drink, they would die.

They couldn’t see anything yet, but if they developed in the future, this small well that used primitive methods to fetch water would probably be unable to bear the burden.

The excitement of hunting more than 20 wild wolves decreased a lot.

“I’ll think of a way to deal with this.
Go and see if anyone knows how to find a water source or dig a well.”

“Yes, Lord.”

When Karu left, Richard directly opened the [Forum Chat].

He searched for keywords ‘lack of water sources’.

Instantly, hundreds of thousands of posts appeared.

[My territory is high up in the mountains.
There’s no water around.
What should I do? I won’t die of thirst, right?]

[Asking for help, how can I solve this problem without fresh water on the territory? Not to mention distillation, the efficiency is too low.
The amount of water distilled is not even enough for the residents of my territory to drink around.]

[There’s a level 10 giant bear outside my territory.
It’s been blocking me for half a day.
I’m dying of thirst.
Who can give me some water to drink?]

Richard was dumbfounded.

Most of these posts were asking for help.
Richard only found a valuable one after sifting through them for a long time.

[I just picked up a 3-star treasure chest in the wild, but after opening it, I only got one treasure fragment — spring water fragment.
Three fragments can be combined into a 1-star resource treasure, spring water!!!]

[What the f*ck is the use of this!! When I went out, I was surrounded by river!!! I regret it.
If I had known earlier, I would have sold it in exchange for some food! Damn it, there were 200 refugees in the territory just now, and tomorrow we will run out of food!!]

“1-star resource treasure?”

“Spring water?”

Richard’s eyes immediately lit up.

These sand sculpture players were indeed valuable.
