Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 54: Organizing the Treasure Box
The Silver Horned Rock Spirit Beast carried Meng Zheng, breaking through the waves, with the breeze blowing gently, carrying the joy of victory.

Meng Zheng wrapped his tail around the back of the Silver Horned Rock Spirit Beast, thinking about the next development plan for the tribe.

The placement of the murloc captives, the allocation of resources, and how to use the victory of this battle to enhance the strength of the tribe are all issues he needs to consider.

The tribe’s current problem is that too many people are needed to collect resources. Whether it is collecting resource points or transporting sea spirit bamboo, it takes up a lot of manpower.

Secondly, the transportation of materials for territory construction and the daily maintenance of the tribe require a lot of manpower.

Now that we have the murloc captives, we can leave all these trivial matters to them and draw more people to form an army.

According to the current population, Meng Zheng can directly form a team of 100 people, so that he can deal with the next challenges with greater ease.

As soon as he returned to the tribe, Li Gen came to him with Gulugua.

"My lord, I followed this guy and indeed found quite a few glowing seaweeds." As he said this, he handed the seaweed in his hand to Meng Zheng to see.

This kind of seaweed is no different from normal seaweed, with distinct branches that float slowly with the water flow.

But it emits a very bright light, but not dazzling.

"Great, the tribe finally has a light source to use!" Meng Zheng was very happy looking at the glowing seaweed in Li Gen's hand.

After spending so long in the light-polluted world of his previous life, Meng Zheng felt really tortured when he suddenly came to a world where he was in dim light every day.

Although the Canghai tribe is relatively bright during the day, the overall environment is always dim. It is not dark, but it is not that bright either.

As it gets closer to dusk, the entire underwater area becomes pitch black and you can't see anything.

Although the mermaids' night vision ability can be used, it also means that the tribe can only work half a day, which is very inefficient.

Now, with the existence of luminous seaweed, we can decorate the entire tribe. By then, there will definitely be great improvements in both living standards and daily life.

"Give this thing to Cangmu and let him deal with it!" Meng Zheng asked Li Gen to find Cangmu and start arranging the planting of luminous seaweed.

Looking at the cowering Gulugua, he said, "You haven't done much. As long as you are obedient and follow my arrangements, I promise that you can continue to be the king of the murlocs."

When Gulugua heard this, a hint of surprise and awe flashed in his eyes, and he nodded quickly to show his obedience.

"I'm leaving those fishmen in your care. You have to keep them under control and make sure they don't cause any trouble. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

There was an unquestionable majesty in Meng Zheng's eyes, which made Gulugua shiver.

He was well aware of his current identity and status. He was no longer the king of the merman tribe, but just a slave under Meng Zheng.

As long as Meng Zheng is unhappy, a catastrophic disaster may occur at any time.

"Yes, my king, I will definitely discipline them well and will not let them cause trouble." Gulugua responded quickly, his tone full of awe and obedience.

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Cangyue and said, "Let Li Gen keep an eye on these guys from now on. If they don't behave, kill them!"

"Yes, my king, I understand." Cangyue responded, his tone firm and decisive.

Meng Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Gulugua and said, "Did you hear that? From now on, Li Gen will be responsible for supervising you. If you dare to do anything illegal, you will bear the consequences."

Meng Zheng felt a slight sense of relief upon seeing this. He knew that only by making these murloc captives truly submit to him could he ensure the stability and security of the tribe.

Afterwards, Meng Zheng began to arrange the tribe’s next development plan.

He knew very well that only by continuously improving the strength of the tribe could it cope with possible challenges and crises in the future.

We came to the tribe’s warehouse, where all the treasure chests the tribe had harvested in recent days were stored.

The tribe's foundation was too poor, with a small population, insufficient supplies, and even few usable items. Now, Meng Zheng could only hope for treasure chests, hoping for something better to aid the tribe's growth. When Jiang Tao was clearing out the monster hordes in the lake gully, he wiped out a total of eight monster hordes, obtaining five black iron treasure chests, two bronze treasure chests, and one silver treasure chest.

After destroying the murloc tribe, Jiang Bin's logistics team also collected a silver treasure chest.

Now in the warehouse, nine treasure chests were neatly placed in front of Meng Zheng, shining brightly and creating waves of light in the water.

Walking to a black iron treasure chest, Meng Zheng opened it:

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 30 Sea Spirit Stones and 10 Iron Shields."

"Not bad, but the iron shield is not very useful in water!" He picked up an iron shield, which was very heavy in his hand, and could clearly feel the considerable resistance.

"Leave it to the Raging Waves Guards! They also need some shields!" After thinking about it, he decided who would own these shields.

There was nothing important in the black iron treasure chest, so I opened them all at once.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 25 Earth Spirit Stones and 15 Long Pole Iron Forks."

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 30 Golden Spirit Stones and 20 Waxwood Spears."

"Ding! Congratulations on getting 50 Spirit Stones and 15 Anchors."

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 45 Spirit Stones and 20 Iron Swords."

"The black iron treasure chest only gives spirit stones and weapons, nothing special!" Looking at the spirit stones on the ground, Meng Zheng was a little disappointed.

It seems that according to the settings given by the system, the black iron treasure chest is destined to only replenish spirit stones and weapons for small territories.

But it's normal. If a territory wants to develop, spirit stones and weapons play a very important role. Small territories have just developed, and most of them do not have the materials or talents to make weapons.

Obtaining a black iron treasure chest can at least arm a team.

He rubbed his hands together and reached out to open the bronze treasure chest.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Spirit Stones*100, Water Resistance Amulet, and Ripple Shield."

Shipped!
Open the water resistance amulet properties:
Immune to water spells for a short period of time. If the upper limit is exceeded, the amulet will be automatically destroyed.

Not bad, it’s a good thing.

Looking at the attribute effects of the water-resistant amulet, Meng Zheng was very satisfied. Underwater combat is basically Meng Zheng's main battlefield, and he will face a lot of water attacks.

With this water-resistant amulet, you can have a magic immunity buff for a short period of time, which is a very good thing.

Ripple Shield:
Slam the shield hard, creating a powerful shockwave that knocks back and damages nearby enemies.

What does this mean? Looking at the attribute description of the Ripple Shield, Meng Zheng was a little confused.

He took the ripple shield in his hand and called the patrolling Yaksha beside him: "Attack me, I want to test the effect of this shield."

"Yes, my king!" The patrolling sea yaksha nodded obediently, and without thinking much, he stabbed his halberd directly at the shield in Meng Zheng's hand.

Just as Meng Zheng felt the impact, the shield suddenly produced a powerful ripple. The shockwave spread over a wide area and directly knocked the patrolling Yaksha off balance, causing it to pause its attack.

"How does it feel?" Meng Zheng asked curiously.

"My king, the power of this shield is so great that my head feels buzzing." The patrolling sea yaksha said to Meng Zheng seriously, and touched his azure head with his hand.

It also has a stun effect? ​​This shield is also a good thing!
