My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Accepting Benefits

Three days later.
“It’s time. Everyone, take a rest. It’s time to collect the eggs.”
At the edge of the training field in the castle, Watson waved his hand with a basket of eggs in his hand.
When the ten guards who were sweating on the training field heard this, they immediately put down their wooden swords and walked eagerly to Watson’s side.
It had been three days since they entered the castle. Ever since Watson had appointed Allen as the captain and the others as the ordinary guards on the first day, they had not been busy guarding the house these few days. Instead, they had been training together under Watson’s orders.
Those who passed the test were qualified to let Watson teach them light-type combat aura. Unfortunately, only one in 100,000 people could practice light-type combat aura. Those ten people had been learning for a few days but were still unable to condense a single bit of light-type combat aura, leaving them on the verge of giving up.
Other than that, they did not have anything to worry about here. Instead, they were very happy. Each of them had their own house in the mansion, and they could eat meat until they were full every meal.
In the past, they had never received such treatment on other farms. It was already good enough to be able to eat meat once every few days, and the place they lived in was also crowded with a few people. Now that they were tired of training, they could go back and take a good bath. They could lie on the soft bed and cover themselves with feather blankets, they no longer had to worry about being woken up by the snoring sounds.
This place was simply heaven. Everyone was rejoicing that they could pass the selection.
“William, nine eggs.”
“Liszt, nine eggs as well.”
“Allen… Allen has already received his eggs this month. Come back next month.”
Watson quickly distributed the eggs. The family’s chicken farm now had six Pentacolor Fragrant Chickens and the daily net output was 600 eggs. They could not finish such an amount, and there was still plenty left after distributing them to the guards.
After receiving the eggs, the guards held the multicolored eggs in their hands and panted heavily. Once again, they firmly believed that joining the farm was the right thing to do.
“I’ve taught you everything that can be taught. Now, it’s up to each of you to understand! “I hope that all of you can enter Silver-tier as early as possible. Tomorrow, you’ll have a day off. You can go back and visit your families. At the same time, you can bring the things that you promised me. If you can’t do what you promised, I don’t want such people.”
Watson smiled at the ten guards.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Watson. We will not miss a single thing that we promised.”The guards hurriedly agreed.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. They had experienced a beautiful life there. No one would be willing to go back to living a hard life. They would not only bring the things that they promised Watson, but give more too. A few of them had even decided to give up all of their assets.
Compared to the benefits Watson brought them, the things they gave Watson was completely insignificant.
…
The next day.
“Captain Allen, tell us quickly what it’s like inside Blackmoon Castle.”
In Miles Manor, a few guards surrounded Allen. Someone brought him tea and poured water, and someone massaged his shoulders and legs, asking curiously.
“You don’t need to call me captain from now on.”
Allen leisurely drank his tea and waved his hand, “I’m no longer a member of Miles Manor. From now on, I’ll leave this manor to you! As for Blackmoon Castle, I dare say that it’s the most comfortable place at the border. I’ve just gone there and obtained a hundred Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs. I believe that after eating them all, I’ll be able to break through Bronze-tier and reach Silver-tier in less than a year.”
He was originally a peak Bronze-tier warrior. Ten Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs had increased his strength by 1,000 catties. In addition, Watson had taught him a large amount of combat aura cultivation techniques over the past few days, and after comprehending them, he had already gained some enlightenment.
“A hundred Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs!”
The guards behind him who were helping to massage his legs had eyes filled with unconcealable envy, “I heard that there are hundreds of rooms in the castle of blackmoon. Every guard who enters can be assigned a room. The bed in the room is so big that two people can lie down, and there’s also a bathtub! The food is good too. There’s wheat bread and meat for every meal. I wonder if it’s true?”
“Of course it’s true.”
Allen nodded, “These are the worst rooms you’re talking about. There’s more than just a bed in one of the better rooms! For example, there’s a fireplace in the wall. It’s very warm when it’s lit. You don’t have to worry about anything in winter. There’s a red carpet on the ground, so it’s not a problem to walk barefoot on it. The chandelier above your head is brighter than all the lights in our manor put together. The lighting at night is the same as during the day. There are even gems inlaid on it…”
It had to be the kingdom of heaven!
Someone was moved by Allen’s description and could not help but ask, “Allen, we can be considered to be acquainted with young master Watson. When you go back, can you tell him to let us become guards as well?”
“Blackmoon Castle only recruits professionals above Bronze-tier. If you want to go, all you need to do is train hard! Alright, stop pressing the button. Go and feed the 200 magica; beast cubs in the breeding farm. I’ll set off tomorrow and send these magical beasts to Young Master Watson.”
Allen waved his hand. The rest of the guards could only rue their lack of training in the past as they went to the breeding farm to take care of the magical beasts.
…
On the other side, at the residence of a guard named Liszt.
Liszt was 25-years-old that year and had barely entered Bronze-rank. He initially did not have much hope of entering Blackmoon Castle, but fortunately, Young Master Watson was kind-hearted and eventually accepted him. The price was that he had to send his sister over to be a maid.
“Big Brother Liszt, are you sure you want to take me to that castle? I don’t want to go, I’m scared…”
An 11- or 12-year-old girl, who was a little thin and weak but had a beautiful face, grabbed Liszt’s hand weakly.
Going to an unfamiliar place was already uncomfortable. In addition, there were many stories about evil people among the nobles. If they did not treat the handmaidens as human beings, they would be thrown onto the bed for shameful acts. If the handmaidens made a minor mistake, they would be beaten and scolded; if they made a huge mistake, they would be killed.
Liszt’s parents were also present. At this moment, they looked worried. “Liszt, what is the logic in becoming a servant and getting more benefits? Is this so-called Blackmoon Castle reliable? Don’t push Wendy into the fire pit.”
“Father, Mother, don’t worry. This family is very kind. They are even more generous to us subordinates! I’ll receive ninety Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs every month. If converted into money, it would be a hundred gold coins. Wendy isn’t just going to live in a big house if she went there. She can also eat meat and wear new clothes every day. It’s much better than living here.”
Liszt looked around the shabby home and explained.
Live in a big house and wear new clothes?
“Brother, I’ll go.” Wendy’s eyes lit up as she hurriedly agreed.
“Is it really that good?”
The two old men were also moved. “Liszt, why don’t you take us there too! We can go there at the same time and take care of Wendy.”
“I need to seek Young Master Watson’s opinion on this matter.”
Liszt sighed. His parents were reluctant just now, but were immediately interested after hearing that they could live in a big house. If they knew that everyone had their own room, that they could bathe every day in the summer, and that they could heat up the stove in the winter, perhaps the old couple might be even more excited.
…
At another farm not far away.
The owner of the farm held on tightly to a man with a big waist.
“William, you can’t leave. You’re the strongest guard under me. What would I do without you? If you really can’t do it, I’ll give you a raise. is ten gold coins a month okay?”
“Let go, I want to go back to Blackmoon Castle! Ten gold coins a month, are you trying to get rid of a beggar?”
William was carrying a sledgehammer in his left hand and a large package in his right hand. There were more than ten sets of armor and swords in it. His eyes were wide open.
He was the one who had started the challenge, but he had failed both times. He thought that he would definitely be rejected. In the end, he decided to give away the weapons that he had exchanged over the years and was successfully accepted.
Who would want to stay in a lousy place if they could enter Blackmoon Castle?
“Alright now, we’ll meet again. Don’t make this unpleasant! How about this, I’ll give you ten gold coins and you’ll let me go.”
William took out ten gold coins from his pocket, threw them in front of the landlord, turned around and strode away.
Those ten gold coins were his salary for this month. Watson had already paid him in advance on the first day he entered the castle. Money did not interest him. He was far more interested in what Watson had promised him: as long as he sent all that armor over, he would be able to exchange them for a set of Bronze-tier armor and weapons.
Bronze-tier armor and weapons were stuff that he wanted in his dreams.
After seeing William leave, the farmer picked up the gold coins on the ground. He wanted to cry, but the tears would not come.
Similar scenes happened in many farms.
A day later, the ten guards who had left the Blackmoon Castle returned. Some brought more than 200 magical beasts, some carefully wiped the necklaces in their hands, and some held hands with a pretty little girl. Everyone was waiting for Watson to come out and take all their offerings. It was very lively with the roaring of magical beasts as well as the heated discussion.
