My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

"Really?"

"Young Master Watson, you're not lying to us, are you?"

Many of the candidates widened their eyes in disbelief when they heard that.

Only the gods knew what they had experienced. They had arrived there with troubled hearts; they did not know if they could pass the test. Many of them were relieved when they heard Watson's rules. They thought they could pass the test, and it had slapped them right on their faces. Then, just as they were about to give up, Watson said that they had passed.

Did he play them?

After they had experienced the ups and downs of their short life, they were dumbfounded.

"You have seen how strong Allen is; he is the vice-captain of the guards! He had been only a bronze tier warrior, just like yourself. He has only joined Blackmoon Castle for a month, but his strength has risen to this level. I think you should understand what this means."

Watson pointed at Allen with a serious expression.

"Young Master Watson is right."

Allen puffed out his chest—he cooperated with Watson and said, "I wasn't even as strong as you, and I was the weakest among the bronze tier warriors. However, now, I can suppress all of you. This is thanks to Young Master Watson and also his Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken eggs! If you join the Blackmoon Castle, you'll be as strong as me in one month!"

"Did you hear that? Those who want to join the Blackmoon Castle can come here to collect the eggs."

Watson thought that Allen was brilliant.

Only four of the 20 candidates stood there helplessly while the rest rushed toward Watson like a swarm of bees.

Those four people had wrinkles on their faces. They were over 50 years old; they did not pass the test, and they were envious, but there was nothing they could do about it. They were only bronze tier warriors, and they might stay in that realm for their entire lives. So it was expected that Watson would not want them.

"Are these really the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs? Even though I have never seen a magical beast of this level, the waves and fragrance that these eggs emitted should not be wrong."

The candidates, who had run toward Watson, held the eggs carefully in their arms. They looked delighted.

Some even rubbed their cheeks against the eggs as their mouths drooled. "I want to swallow these eggs. No, I should bear with it. I want to boil these eggs and eat them bit by bit."

Alan stood at the side and curled his lips. He did not comment on how excited those people had looked. He remembered the same feeling when he was there the previous month. Watson had given him the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken then, but it had been changed to the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs. He was a little envious. If only he had been there a month later.

Would Watson have given him a hundred Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs?

"Alright, those who have received their eggs can follow Alan back to the castle."

Watson looked at the basket in Alan's hand. "The recruitment process will continue as usual next month. I will choose one of the new recruits to be the examiner. If he can't do what Alan did and eliminate all the candidates, then I will send him away! Also, we have a competition in the castle every month, and the top ten winners will get additional rewards, and the bottom three will lose their monthly salary. Those who rank last for two months in a row will have to leave by themselves."

There were 27 applicants at that time. Three of them were old men who had been there the last time. Another four men were eliminated because of their age. So, only 20 men remained, and when they included the castle's original guards, there were a total of 30 people.

Watson wanted to turn his guards into knights who were not inferior to any army. The Blackmoon Knight name was a symbol of his hope. Those knights only sought quality and not quantity.

One should not think that everything was fine after they joined the Blackmoon Castle. He did not like to do business at a loss. Even though he had a fusion system and it was not difficult for him to fuse high-level materials, he did not want to waste anything. Those people had to go through many rounds of elimination before only a few elites were left.

As expected, those people who were excited as they held the eggs to their chest experienced a change in their expression.

They did not dare to deny that there were people who coveted the luxurious treatment of Blackmoon Castle and wanted to fool with their new status. However, they did not dare to have such thoughts anymore. If they did not work hard, they would be eliminated; there was no other place that would give them a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg, but there were too many guards like them.

There was no need to think too much about which they would choose.

"The rest of you, I can't let you join because of your age! But—"

Watson raised his voice halfway through his sentence, and when he realized that everyone's attention was on him, he continued to say, "But you can still bring people to the test. If they were to join Blackmoon Castle, then you'll become stronger and get the best weapons, armor, and even mounts! It doesn't matter if you can't join Blackmoon Castle yourself, but your friends might still be able to do that. Even if your friends are eliminated, will their friends be eliminated as well?"

Many people wanted to laugh when they saw Watson proclaim the benefits of Blackmoon Castle with a serious expression.

They had only heard rumors about how Watson was a genius silver tier warrior. They did not expect him to be so humorous. He did not seem like a child at all. Everyone was either nervous or disappointed that they were not selected, but his words swept them away.

"In short, you've done the right thing by coming to the Blackmoon Castle! You didn't suffer any disadvantage, and you were not fooled as well."

Watson thickened his skin as he shouted, "Same time next month—the third round of recruitment will be held at Blackmoon Castle! We will not only recruit guards, but also experienced farmers. Bring someone here, and if they pass, you will get a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg. This rule is also applicable to those who have joined the castle. That's all I have to say."

Then, Watson brought Allen, Wendy, and the people who had passed back to Blackmoon Castle.

Rumble!

The gates of Blackmoon Castle closed with a loud bang; it left behind seven bronze tier old warriors with an excited expression on their faces.

They would get a Rainbow Phoenix Egg if their candidate passed the test. What were they waiting for? They had lived at the border for so long, so they had friends.

They were determined to bring with them as many people as possible. Then, the seven old men looked at each other before they dispersed.

They were pressed for time. They did not want to be taken advantage of, so they needed to strike first.

..

After Watson returned to Blackmoon Castle, he decided to fuse some ores to create more walls; he wanted to expand the Blackmoon Castle.

When Zeke and Zenoah left, they left behind a large amount of ores. These ores were suitable materials after they were slightly fused. Many of the surrounding farms had lost their powerful guards. If they were to lose the farmers, it would be difficult for them to continue with the operation.

Initially, Watson's family only had ten acres of land, so there was no need to recruit more farmers. However, he wanted to bring guards and farmers from across the border, and the other farms would be left with only an empty shell. He would want to make an offer to buy those lands from the farmers, and he could unify the nearby area in one fell swoop.

"One year, no, half a year! Blackmoon Castle will become the biggest force at the border, and we will build a town that is no weaker than Monte Town."

Watson clenched his fists as he looked at the sun in the sky.

It was bright—Blackmoon Castle was like the sun as it slowly rose at the border.
