Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 784 Land
The entire light armor is made entirely by hand. The pitch-black armor plates are stacked layer by layer with ropes and pressed on the brown leather armor, just like layers of fish scales.

The reason why the leather armor is brown is that there is a layer of something similar to natural gum on it, which is mainly to prevent rain and moisture.

The entire light armor is divided into many parts, including helmet, hand guards, wrist guards, shoulder pads, chest armor, and leg armor.

Coupled with the longbow used by the archer, Yang Bo's game character looks particularly majestic with the blessing of such brand new light armor.

Su Wei knew that armor was very valuable in the game, and civilians were not allowed to wear it.

Only nobles and soldiers can equip metal armor.

Even the three-layer leather armor used by ordinary infantry is a strategic material.

Ordinary hunters are equipped with single or double layers of leather armor at most.

"Isn't that awesome?" Yang Bo asked with a smile.

"Great! You've made such a great contribution this time. I wonder if you will be given a high position?" Su Wei controlled the game character and took Maomao for a walk while chatting privately.

"I don't plan to be an official. I have no foundation now. If I become an official, I will be a commander without any support. Who knows, the people under me might cause trouble and I will have to bear the consequences." Yang Bo walked Maomao with Su Wei and explained in a message.

In a room of the March Star Sword Association, the president of the association laughed and said, "See? This is a smart person. Some people want to be an official when they hear about being an official."

"Don't you see what kind of people these nobles in the Second World game are like? If they become officials without any foundation and take other people's positions, they might be beheaded soon."

The assistant to the president was extremely depressed. Yang Bo had made great contributions in the Second World game, but he refused to be an official even though he was offered the position. If he were in his place, he would definitely become an official and manage a large number of subordinates.

After hearing what the president said, I wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason.

"Coward, the worst that can happen is that you just give it a try!" These were the only words the president's assistant could say in the end.

"He's the wimp you mentioned. He won 400 billion in real life and got such status in the game."

"Although Yang Bo did not choose to be an official in the game, who among the people in Green City does not know his abilities?"

"You will make many more contributions in the future. Without any foundation, you should never think about those unrealistic things." The president laughed.

"You are such a boring person. I feel like vomiting when I hear the number 400 billion." The president's assistant stood up and wanted to leave, but he also wanted to see what Yang Bo planned.

Yang Bo was chatting privately with Su Wei in the game: "I'm going to sell all my achievements this time. Let's see if I can get a piece of territory around Green City, recruit some people, and train some teams."

What Yang Bo said was a lie. In fact, he wanted to find a territory just to make it easier for him to settle down on the planet of the Second World in the future.

It is better to have a worse territory, not too good, because a territory that is too good will be coveted by others.

"Oh my, you are about to have your own territory?" Su Wei sent a message in surprise.

“I just don’t know how much the Eagle Eye is worth. If it’s valuable enough, I think the nobles in the city would be willing to exchange some territories for it.” Yang Bo replied.

"The territory is also very troublesome." Su Wei nodded and replied.

"This will also make it easier for me to recruit game players in the future." Yang Bo sent another message.

"Of course, if these game players want to eat and drink for free in my territory, they have to pay in real life."

"Are you collecting rent?"

"That's for sure. If you don't want your game character to freeze to death or starve to death, you have to pay me and work for me?"

"Otherwise, I, a noble, will treat them as criminals and send them to the war front as cannon fodder!"

"You are such a cunning person!" Su Wei thought she knew Yang Bo was joking, but she didn't know that her brother's game character was sent to the front line because of robbing Yang Bo.

"These guys in the alliance are really obsessed with money!" The assistant to the president of the March Star Fencing Association was speechless when he saw this scene.

"Then do you believe that he wants to do this? He collects money endlessly. These game players have to pay money in real life, and they also have to work in the game!" The president laughed.

"I don't want to watch it anymore!" The president's assistant turned around and left.

"I want to see how Yang Bo can still be so arrogant if his game character is recycled for research." The president's assistant left after saying this.

Of course, Yang Bo didn't know that his game character might be recycled.

Yang Bo controlled the game character and began training wearing light armor. These protective gear had been tested in actual combat. Maybe they were not ergonomic, but they were more suitable for actual combat.

These protective gear will not affect a person's performance between actions, or will have minimal impact.

At the same time, Yang Bo also adapted to the longbow used by archers.

The longbow used by archers has a very long range, and there are several types of arrows, including heavy arrows for heavy armor defense and armor-piercing arrows. These are not cheap because they are all made of fine iron.

During a battle, these arrows would be marked so that later on people would know who got the credit.

Su Wei took Maomao for a walk and then quit the game.

"Ranch?" Locke came hurriedly shortly after the game started the next day. Someone was willing to exchange a ranch for Hawkeye's credit.

"This pasture is not small, and it's not far from Green City. It's in the direction we can see."

"But this ranch also has its shortcomings. Half of it is barren mountain, and the mountain is full of various rocks. Only less than half of the area is suitable for feeding livestock." Locke pointed into the distance.

"The most important thing is that there is not much land available for planting. There are only less than 100 acres where crops can be grown." Locke said again.

The crop yields in this world are very low. "How about going to take a look?" Yang Bo didn't care whether the land could make money or not, the key was to see what the place was like.

As for half of the mountain, that would be even better. Then I could build some laboratories under the mountain.

No one will care about the territory if it doesn't make money. You have to keep making money in the game to supplement the territory.

"Let's go then."

Yang Bo and Locke rode on horseback to the land, which was about 7 kilometers away from Green College.

The territory is a mountain. On the other side of the mountain is a steep cliff, and on this side of the mountain is a gentle slope.

Half of the mountain is covered with rocks and bushes.

Only the lower half of the mountainside can be used to feed livestock.

The good news is that there is a stream in the territory, and the water from the stream comes down from the mountain.

Only a small area at the bottom is terraced, and the rest is a hillside.

On one side of the territory is a river valley that is about ten meters high. Of course, during heavy rains in summer, the water here may be full.

On the other side is a raised hill.

The entire area is still very large, about three or four square kilometers.

The core of the ranch is on a raised hill with houses built on it, but they appear to be made of wood and there are no stone buildings that can resist the bandits' gang.

"This tax?" Yang Bo's only worry now is tax.

Yang Bo also knew that he would never get the good land.

The foundation of the nobility is land. Only with enough land can there be enough food to feed enough subordinates.

In fact, most of the income of the nobles in this world comes from land.

It seems that the caravans of those great nobles are very profitable, but they also face many dangers.

"Don't worry about the taxes. You only pay taxes based on the land you can cultivate."

"There will be absolutely no problem with the parliament. You saved everyone this time."

"Hawkeye's contribution is both great and small," Locke said again.

Yang Bo understood this point. In his previous life, when he watched the news, someone in a certain county did something that became a hot topic.

There are so many people who are doing better than him, why can't they make it to the hot searches?

This is the same thing. It can be big or small for different people. If they have connections behind them, they can naturally give a push, and there are people above to support them, so it is easy to climb up.

It doesn’t matter. No matter how well you do or how hard you push yourself, if there’s no one supporting you from above, it’s all meaningless.

Just like Hawkeye, he is a wanted criminal by both the Kingdom and the Continental Parliament.

If someone gives a push, then it will be a big victory. If no one gives a push, then you will just be a wanted criminal.

"There are five families on this ranch now, including the housekeeper. They will all be transferred to your name without you having to pay any price, and of course the other party will not compensate you either."

"That's settled then!" Yang Bo nodded straightforwardly.

"Okay!" Locke was very happy that Handy did not ask who the other party to the transaction was.

"Also, will the merits of other cavalrymen be priced according to the previous price?" Locke asked again.

"Sir, do you want to record some of your achievements?" Yang Bo asked.

"My contribution is enough." Locke answered meaningfully.

Yang Bo feels that he has to get rid of Locke in the game because he feels that he is a little unreliable.

Locke is obviously a native, but someone may have implanted a chip in his head.

As for why the Blue Water Empire did this, it must be because it wanted to get what it wanted through Locke, and the Blue Water Empire must have more than one person involved.

Once this kind of thing is discovered, it is very likely that other people of the same kind will be found from various clues.

Many times modern people have an inexplicable sense of superiority and think they are smarter than ancient people.

This idea is wrong. Yang Bo does not dare to underestimate anyone in the second game world, especially these nobles.

If you think nobles are idiots, you are totally wrong. This is also the biggest reason why most gamers don’t do well in the second world games.

Therefore, Yang Bojue found a big problem with Locke's method. Once this method of gaining merit was noticed by others, it would be easy to find other people using the same method.

Unless the Blue Water Empire does not abide by the ethics of war and directly uses warships to airdrop, if it is to follow the rules of the Second World, then the Blue Water Empire's approach has a high chance of failure. Just like reading novels, everyone can tell at a glance whether the results have been brushed or not.

"Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. Are you going to get a promotion?" Yang Bo asked.
