Super Game System-Otherworld King: Rise to Power

Moments later, the sound of hearty laughter echoed through the stone chamber."Haha! A pill furnace? And the Qingyun Alchemy Technique! We've really struck gold this time!"Ronald grinned from ear to ear, holding in his hands a yellowed ancient text and a towering alchemy furnace. He was practically beaming with excitement."Master, there's another one here!"Ronald quickly turned at the sound of the voice."Qingyun Xuan Dao Jue?""What's this?"Confused, he flipped through the pages. The ancient script was too complicated to decipher quickly, so he tucked it into his cloak for later study."Ah Qiang, Cuihua! There must be more treasures here. Search the place thoroughly!"The two responded eagerly, "Yes, sir!"An hour later, Ronald stood in shock, staring at a massive pile of pills scattered on the cavern floor. His jaw dropped."Tiger Wolf Pill! Peiyuan Pills! There must be at least five thousand here! These are high-grade pills, only usable by advanced races!"The pile of pills had been found in a stone room, and although many shelves lined the walls, they were completely empty."Ah Qiang, pack everything up. Not a single pill is to be left behind!"The journey back down the mountain was unexpectedly smooth. It felt as if they had been granted some kind of approval. The moment they stepped into the fog, the world went black for an instant before it suddenly brightened, and they found themselves standing at the foot of the mountain.Ronald turned back to glance at the fog and looked up at the sky. The first light of dawn was beginning to appear on the horizon. The events they had just experienced felt like a strange dream.As the sun rose higher and bathed the land in its light, Ronald took a brief nap before gathering the troops early in the morning.Pointing to a pile of gourds on the ground, he called out, "Everyone, last night, I, General Li Qiang (Ah Qiang's full name), and General Cuihua discovered a cave in the eastern mountains. Inside, we found an ancient site left behind by our human ancestors, along with a large stockpile of valuable pills!""Pills?"Most of the soldiers were from humble origins and had no idea what pills were."I know many of you don't understand what these pills are, and frankly, I can't explain it well. Just know they're something good!"Laughter spread through the ranks at his words."The kind of leader reflects in the soldiers he commands," Ronald thought, knowing well that his troops were, like him, opportunistic and pragmatic."After discussing with the generals, we've decided that from now on, in addition to your regular meals, you will also be taking these pills. We'll make detailed arrangements later."The soldiers saluted in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty!""Captains, stay behind. Everyone else, dismissed!"Once the soldiers were sent off, Ronald led the core members up a nearby hill. Pointing toward the camp below, he asked, "What do you think of the camp layout?"After a moment of awkward silence, Liu Long spoke up, "Please, Master, give us your guidance."Ronald rolled his eyes, silently wishing for a strategist to advise him."Cuihua, the southern area of the camp has dense shrubbery and is close to a water source. Your team can designate that area for planting. Separate the crops accordingly."Cuihua immediately responded, "Understood, Master!""The southeastern corner has open terrain and is set deeper in the back. It's perfect for military drills.""Ah Qiang, your construction team will begin building the barracks immediately!""Yes, Master!"
