As the caravan drew near.

Seeing Boer's somewhat tired face, Lynn said, "You've worked hard, Mr. Boer."

Clearly, he hadn't had a good rest to transport this batch of goods.

Boer smiled and nodded, "Master Lynn, you're too kind. Since it's your commission, I must give it my all."

Lynn continued, "Is the matter of the traveling merchants settled?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Boer was momentarily stunned.

But he understood the next moment.

That night, they were just outside Master Lynn's territory walls.

A gathering of dozens of people naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers on the walls.

It's only logical that Master Lynn would know about it.

Boer recalled those two bloody heads.

He nodded, his expression calm, "Rest assured, Master Lynn, everything is under control."

"I am now the president of those traveling merchants!"

Lynn was intrigued and curiously asked, "The president?"

Boer smiled as he explained, "Yes, indeed, Master Lynn."

"I have already distributed the fine salt from the last trade according to the winter barley they transported."

"The profit from fine salt is beyond imagination. If they want more fine salt, but only I can enter your land, Master Lynn, they have no choice but to rely on me…"

"So, I boldly formed a small merchant guild of local traveling merchants!"

Boer spoke calmly without any concealment.

From the beginning, Boer never intended to hide anything from Master Lynn.

He knew deeply that, without Master Lynn, he might still be haggling over a few pence for crops with those Free People.

Lynn gave Boer an approving look, "Well done."

Since Boer's close encounter with the Bandit Corps' raid, his character had indeed undergone a tremendous change.

At one point, Lynn saw a reflection of himself in Boer.

Whether it was the tone of his speech or his demeanor...

Boer shifted the topic and explained, "Master Lynn, there are over 200,000 pounds of winter barley in this batch; sixty thousand pounds remain!"

Lynn nodded and looked at George, who immediately summoned hundreds to unload the cargo.

Soon enough.

Townsmen carried bags of barley continuously towards the warehouse.

Over twenty thousand pounds of winter barley were finally unloaded by noon.

Once 6,700 pounds of fine salt were loaded onto Boer's carriage, Boer left tirelessly.

Because Boer saw, on Master Lynn's territory, a somewhat peculiar and novel tool being used to sift barley seeds.

Boer understood that Master Lynn needed this batch of barley as planting seeds!

The caravan left Boer.

On the open ground, the work of sifting seeds did not stop.

As the Woodworker Workshop produced more and more winnowing machines, the seed-sifting speed increased faster and faster.

Lynn continuously drew personnel from the planting workers at the ranch to join in sifting the barley seeds.

The initial single winnowing machine sifted eight hundred pounds per day, now with twenty machines, sixteen thousand pounds per day.

Moreover, the Woodworker Workshop continuously produced winnowing machines, further increasing the efficiency and speed of seed sorting.

All thanks to the high efficiency brought by improved tools!

Sitting on a distant bench, Lynn rested for a while.

Not far away.

Bai Ling and Black Night came running towards him rapidly.

Originally two Wild Wolf Cubs, but after this period of feeding, they had long become accustomed to the human scent.

Townsmen were also accustomed to Bai Ling and Black Night's presence.

Now the entire territory became their range of activities.

Upon reaching Lynn's side, Bai Ling and Black Night squinted their eyes, lightly rubbing against his ankles and calves.

Their eyes half-closed, full of enjoyment.

Lynn called a Guard over and took out a few pieces of premium meat to feed Bai Ling and Black Night.

[Breeding Experience +1]

[Breeding Experience +1]

...

Gazing at the Wild Wolves chewing away, Lynn was a bit surprised.

Bai Ling and Black Night seemed to have grown more robust...

Now they were already as tall as his knee.

What was regretful for Lynn was that he currently had too few Energy Stones and had not found Magic Ore.

Otherwise, he could redeem the [Wolf's Den] from the [Special Building Library] and build it.

Breeding Bai Ling and Black Night in the [Wolf's Den].

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Lynn's eyes.

After eating a few more pieces of premium meat Lynn fed them, Bai Ling and Black Night licked their lips contentedly.

They trotted toward the distant wilderness.

The wasteland nearby the town has been reclaimed into farmland.

They could only go further away, seeking out and chasing those wild rabbits, honing their hunting skills.

Just then.

A text panel appeared before Lynn's eyes.

[Your Breeding has upgraded to Level 2, unlocking: Animal Breeding System]

[Reward acquired: Skill Duplication Book ×1]

Seeing the text prompt before him, Lynn frowned.

Animal Breeding System?

What is this?

With a thought, Lynn opened the [Heavenly Artifacts] panel, and began to check.

[Animal Breeding System]: Can view animal intimacy, status, and animal growth and breeding routes.

Seeing this, Lynn understood.

Similar to the [Resident Information Column], which allows viewing each resident's detailed information.

Now, he can view various animals' information status.

For future livestock and poultry breeding, it's quite a valuable feature.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

As for the Skill Duplication Book, he now had seven of them!

Yet Lynn still hadn't identified a skill he wanted to learn.

The only skill catching his eye was Rose's 'Charge' skill.

But to consume a [Skill Duplication Book] to duplicate a basic Riding Skill seemed quite wasteful.

Only an Extraordinary Skill would be worthy of duplication!

But neither the Witch Sienna nor the Priest Old John had transferable Extraordinary Skills.

Lynn decided to wait a bit longer.

He glanced at the [Heavenly Artifacts] panel.

Now, only [Construction] and [Collection] hadn't reached Level 2.

[Construction: Level 1 (121/200)] (+)

[Collection: Level 1 (192/200)] (+)

The experience required for the [Construction] skill was still quite extensive.

But the [Collection] skill was about to reach Level 2!

Lynn walked toward the townsmen sifting seeds.

Dispelling a townsman turning a winnowing machine handle, Lynn took over himself, gripping the axis handle with his right hand, and began turning it steadily.
