Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem
Chapter 505 - 227: The Diligent Blacksmith, Crafting Nightmare Arrows (5400)_3

"Of course, to unleash the power of these arrows, you need a good bow and a strong archer."

Upon listening, Cao Xing had a look of realization on his face.

It was evident that, according to Harold, this could indeed greatly enhance the practicality of these arrows.

The drawback was that they were too heavy, greatly reducing the range.

"Very well, let's make them using your method."

With Cao Xing's approval, a smile appeared on Harold's face.

Then, a new item appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

It was a black-purple tendril, about one or two meters long and as thick as a little finger.

It was from the [Nightmare Cannibal Flower's tendril].

"Mr. Harold, these are tendrils from a plant with sharp barbs on the surface. My idea is to craft them into a long whip. Do you have any better suggestions?"

Although Cao Xing already had an idea, he still wanted to ask Harold.

After all, when it came to crafting equipment, he was the professional.

Harold looked at the materials in Cao Xing's hand, his eyes once again filled with a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "Lord, making them into a long whip is indeed a good choice according to your idea."

"But long whip weapons are not very practical, and few beings use them."

"My suggestion is to combine them with human-faced tree vines to make an animal trap net."

Cao Xing looked puzzled, "An animal trap net?"

Harold nodded, "Yes, these tendrils lack some toughness, much less than the vines, but their advantage is the numerous barbs that also contain poison."

"We can wrap these tendrils around the vines, ensuring both toughness and utilizing the numerous barbs' effects."

"Once made into a large net, when it ensnares large beasts, the barbs will hook onto them, and the more they struggle, the deeper the hooks will go."

Cao Xing seemed to also imagine the related scenario.

Then he exclaimed, "Not bad, Harold, you really are a knowledgeable dwarf."

"I feel that in the near future, you'll absolutely become a master-level blacksmith!"

It had to be said, Harold's experience was rich, allowing special materials to have greater value.

His two materials now had better methods.

Upon hearing Cao Xing's praise, a humble smile appeared on the dwarf's face.

"By the way, Harold, I have some new materials here. I'll also hand them over for you to craft."

After speaking, Cao Xing took out a large amount of human-faced tree bark from his backpack.

From ordinary human-faced trees to boss-level human-faced trees.

Among them, there was even golden-quality human-faced tree bark!

Naturally, Harold immediately noticed the two ancient tree bark pieces in Cao Xing's hand.

He exclaimed, "By the gods, these barks contain an intense life aura!"

"Lord, are these the legendary golden-quality materials?"

Cao Xing said, "That's right, Harold."

"Use these golden barks to craft several sets of leather armor."

Harold listened but did not immediately agree, showing signs of hesitancy.

"What's wrong?"

He respectfully said, "Lord, Harold is currently just an advanced forging master, and the success rate for crafting golden-quality equipment isn't high."

"If I were to forge them, a single failure would be a huge loss..."

"You should find a more advanced forging master to craft them..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing simply laughed.

"No worries, Harold, feel free to forge them."

"Even if they all fail, it doesn't matter. Consider it as gaining skill level."

At this moment, Harold looked at Cao Xing, his eyes showing a complex expression and a mix of emotions in his heart.

He didn't know what to say.

After all, the price of golden-quality equipment was famously precious.

Even when converted to crowns, a level 10 golden equipment piece would be worth at least 500,000.

And the bark in Cao Xing's hand was at least fourth-rank material.

Each piece was worth a fortune!

And now, Cao Xing casually told him to use it to increase his skill level...

Before Harold could speak, Cao Xing took out an elite soul from his hand.

And handed it to Harold.

As previously mentioned, elevating these workers to elite status might not aid Cao Xing in combat power.

However, once Harold's constitution improved, he would be stronger in smithing.

"Lord..."

Harold didn't know what else to say, feeling deeply touched.

Cao Xing chuckled, "Alright, Harold, continue forging with peace of mind."

"As I mentioned before, remember to balance work and rest, and don't worry about other matters."

Harold immediately responded respectfully, "As you command, Lord, I will do my utmost to forge these pieces successfully!"

The dwarf straightened his body, looking at Cao Xing with excitement in his eyes!

[Due to your actions, you have deeply moved: Harold Iceberg, greatly enhancing loyalty. Current loyalty: 95]

...

Seeing the system prompt, a smile also appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

He patted Harold on the shoulder and placed the remaining vines, barks, and cannibal flower spikes from his backpack into the blacksmith shop's storage box.

Then, he left the [Blacksmith Shop].

Shortly after he walked away, the sound of hammering iron echoed again in the background.

...

...

Cao Xing continued humming a tune, patrolling the territory.

He passed through the residential area, as well as the mechanical factory and the training ground.

Next to these buildings were several half-constructed structures.

These were the [King Altar], [Mage Tower], and [Knight Hall].

Cao Xing expressed his delight, "Not bad, not bad. Once these are built, I can use the tavern's recruitment feature again and see if I can recruit some talent."

Since Cao Xing planned to restore the territory during the day and lead people to the witch castle at night, he had plenty of free time now.

Then, he saw Sabina and 'Mbo' busy next to Dahua.

Cao Xing had a thoughtful look.

At this moment, they both seemed to be working diligently in the territory.

After a glance, Cao Xing mused, "This Mbo still has loyalty below 50, so it's not the time to approach her."

"Sabina, after the events of the night before last, has increased her loyalty quite a lot and should no longer have thoughts of running away."

"Also, I recall this woman seems to have the [Advanced Poison Skill Mastery]."

"Just as it happens, this time, I obtained a material from the cannibal flowers that can be used to create some poison."

So, Cao Xing directly called, "Sabina."

Upon hearing Cao Xing call her, the woman, appearing to be around thirty with a black mole at the corner of her eye, quickly approached.

At this moment, Sabina knelt with both knees, bowing respectfully before Cao Xing.

"Honorable Lord."
