Landlord World - Start with SSS talent

Hearing Noan's words, Caleb and Austin looked at each other, then turned their gaze back to Noan with expressions full of confusion.

However, Caleb suddenly realized something and quickly asked, "Master, what you mean is... you want to bring resources from the City to the Chaos Zone to sell, right?"

"That's right." Noan didn't hide it, nodding as he spoke.

After all, Caleb and Austin thought he could bring resources from the City to the Chaos Zone, so he did not need to hide this matter. Moreover, Caleb and Austin were his slaves, and he held their lives in his hands. If he wished, they would die.

Therefore, he knew they wouldn't reveal this secret.

"However, there are a few things I need to tell you. The transportation will not be as perfect as you think." Noan explained.

"First, resources will be lost during transportation, leaving only about 30-40% of the original amount."

"Second, I cannot transport living creatures."

Caleb and Austin weren't too surprised by this; on the contrary, they were so overjoyed that they wanted to shout out loud.

They would still do it if only 10% or even 5% of the original resources remained.

After all, bringing resources from the City to the Chaos Zone was incredibly insane, like a massive 'bug.'

In a battle, the side with more resources would win.

What if they controlled the distribution of resources? Caleb and Austin didn't dare think too much about it because Noan was still here. However, they knew exactly what Noan's intentions were. Therefore, they couldn't control their excitement, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Master, if that's the case, I can tell my father and mobilize our family's resources."

Upon hearing Austin's words, Noan waved his hand and softly replied, "There's no need to do that. This matter is very important, and it must not be exposed. The fewer people who know, the better."

"I truly trust you, so this opportunity is for you. Do you understand?"

"We understand, Master," Austin responded.

At this moment, Caleb spoke up and asked, "Master, although I can't raise much money, I can take resources from my family."

"Also, Master, apart from food and construction resources, is there anything else you want to buy?"

"Soldier and hero cards are no longer effective, so we can't waste money buying them."

Noan nodded. "I need you to buy more weapon blueprints, Machine-type Hero cards, and materials for alchemy."

"Additionally, I need you to pay attention to potion recipes and other architectural blueprints."

"I don't care what they are, as long as they are useful and reasonably priced. You can gather as many as possible. The more, the better."

"However, you must work efficiently and secretly. If this gets exposed, the secret will be out, and you'll also be in danger."

Caleb and Austin nodded, fully understanding what Noan had just said. After all, being able to transport resources from the City to the 'Chaos World' was such a massive 'bug.'

If this got exposed, it was likely that not just other lords but also the Empire and the Federal Government would take notice of them. At that point, they would be in mortal danger.

The principle 'A commoner is innocent, but possessing a precious jade is guilty' was well understood by everyone. However, Noan's willingness to share this secret with them meant he truly trusted them.

Moreover, it also meant that Noan intended to monopolize the entire flow of resources in the Chaos World.

Naturally, the stronger Noan became and the more power he held, the more benefits Caleb and Austin would receive.

They understood this and grew even more excited.

"Wait!" Caleb suddenly asked. "Master, do you need the potion recipes and blueprints for alchemy?"

"Yes." Noan nodded.

"This...," Caleb hesitated.

"Is there something wrong?"

"This is a bit difficult." Caleb said, "Both of these items are listed under items managed by the Federal Government and the Empire, so acquiring them will be very challenging."

"After all, these things are related to the economy and overall power of the Lords. Not only is trading them difficult, but their prices are also very high."

"Buying these two items in large quantities will make it easy for the Government and Empire to track and discover us. So, I have a suggestion, and I hope Master will reconsider."

Noan knew that what Caleb had just said was true. After all, the Alchemist and Alchemy Classes played extremely important roles in developing the Empire and the Lords' power, so it was normal for the Government and Empire to manage them strictly.

"Go ahead."

Caleb hurriedly explained his thoughts: "Master, instead of buying large quantities of these items, I think we should only purchase what we truly need."

"For example, if it's potion recipes, we should prioritize recovery potions, strength-boosting potions, speed-boosting potions, or other basic potions."

"As for the alchemy blueprints, it's the same. We only need the simplest and most basic blueprints for now."

"Of course, we can buy more advanced formulas and blueprints, but we can't buy them in large quantities."

"That way, even if the Government and Empire investigate, they'll just think it's normal because large families frequently purchase such items."

Noan nodded upon hearing this, agreeing with Caleb's suggestion. After all, he was still too weak and couldn't allow anyone to discover his existence, especially because he possessed an SSS rank talent.

Therefore, the harder it was for others to discover him, the better.

"Good! Follow what you've said. You have five days to gather the resources, and once done, contact me, understood?"

"Understood!" Austin and Caleb replied excitedly upon hearing Noan's words.

"One more thing, have you gathered any information on merging regions?" Noan frowned and asked.

Austin, now in a cheerful mood, said, "Hahaha... Master, I know all about that, let me tell you."

Austin then recounted what Santoro had told Noan, with a few additional pieces of new information.

This information included upcoming events that would take place once the regions merged. Particularly, these events would be war-like, focusing on fighting for resources.

Caleb frowned upon hearing this and said, "It seems... we're in danger."

"Hm?! What do you mean?" Austin asked, confused by Caleb's words.

"If the events are mostly war-related, then the D-rank lords might cooperate to eliminate all the E and F-rank lords first."

"Heh?! Why?" Austin was taken aback and quickly asked.

"It's simple, and it's a matter of resources." Caleb frowned and said, "Master also said we can trade resources and control the economic lifeblood of the Chaos World."

"But the logic is simple. What do you think will happen if you're just an ant but own a huge block of gold?"

Caleb didn't finish his sentence, but Austin knew exactly what he meant.

Naturally, others would attack them to seize the resources they owned.

"Don't worry about that for now." Noan said, "I'll ensure your safety, just focus on doing your work well."

Caleb and Austin nodded upon hearing this, feeling a sense of reassurance in their hearts.

Even if they faced D-rank lords, they weren't too afraid.

After all, Noan was an extremely mysterious existence. Even the army Noan lent them was D+ rank, so they were confident that Noan also had monsters more terrifying than D-rank.

Austin stood up happily, holding a glass of wine, and said enthusiastically, "For our future, our loyalty to our Master!"

Caleb also stood up, raising his glass towards Noan, respectfully saying, "For our Master, I am willing to dedicate all my strength."

Noan smiled upon hearing this and gently nodded. Lifting his glass, he said, "For our future."
