Chapter 747 The overlord returns, Chen’s original intention!
"Initial identity."
"Annual tax payment."
"Number of people rewards."
"Territorial upgrade!"
< br>
Chen Kai is still talking endlessly about the origins of the identity system and the various changes this system has brought to the wasteland.
Sitting opposite, sipping the beer from the cup, Somo's mind kept flashing through the nouns he summed up.
The wasteland outside the ruins is only one year after the end of the world.
The term "territory" is still very vague on the game panel. It only roughly defines the group and gives it a name in advance. It does not involve specific gameplay and rules.
You can enter behind the ruins.
With the passage of time, and the changes of four versions in eight years, the territory finally gained more definitions, and gradually evolved into a complete set of game rules in the wasteland.
Eight years ago, a survivor came to the wasteland. In the short term, he had to face extremely dangerous survival dilemmas such as water shortage, food shortage, and impending natural disasters. As long as he solved these problems, he could slowly change his life. Get on track and start responding to disasters in an orderly manner.
Eight years later, a new survivor came to the wasteland. Although humans do not have to worry about these survival resources in the short term under the complete territorial system, in the long term, their pressure will be greater than before. Too much higher.
In the first moment after the arrival, everyone only has 10 initial trading points, and can only purchase the lowest level identity in the smallest territory.
If you cannot quickly understand the situation, convert the points into identities, join a small territory and work hard to earn enough food.
Then it is very likely that due to consumption, the points will not be enough for the most basic requirements, and you will become a wanderer in a disaster, dealing with twice the power of the disaster.
And even with sufficient guidance, he joined the territory.
During every disaster, if you slack off even a little bit, you will be knocked directly to the bottom of the survival chain, and your life will be precarious.
On the other side, those who have an identity are not without worries.
The closure of territories is a common occurrence in this chaotic era.
Maybe I just paid the trading points that I had saved up for a long time and bought my favorite identity.
On the back foot, due to accidents or natural disasters, the territory could not afford the high annual taxes, resulting in helpless bankruptcy.
Once the territory is disbanded, not only will the initial purchase transaction points be wasted, but all territorial citizens will also have to find ways to generate a wave of funds to purchase identities to join the new territory.
All kinds of risks are still like the sword of Damocles hanging above our heads.
No survivor dares to stop and accumulate trading points, and no territory dares to slack off.
Of course, such harsh taxes are not without corresponding benefits.
The more people join the territory, the higher the level of the territory will be, and the special attributes and various basic environments that can be enjoyed will also be different.
Take the simplest example of weather.
The Long Banner Territory, which has the largest permanent population with 40 million residents, does not have sunny days during disasters. The highest temperature is only 28 degrees, which is very comfortable with the breeze.
As for Wuya Prefecture, which has a population of 3 million, the highest temperature will not exceed 33 degrees Celsius in the same weather.
But in the Tianyuan Territory, which has only 500,000 citizens, the temperature often rises to 35 degrees or even around 38 degrees on sunny days, and the comfort level can be said to plummet.
As for those territories with smaller populations, perhaps only tens of thousands or even thousands of people.
The temperature they can feel is even more terrifying. 40 degrees is a common occurrence, 45 degrees comes as soon as possible, and it will break through to around 50 degrees at noon to challenge the limits of human survival.
Disregarding the weather, the nutritional level of the land, the abundance of water organisms, the number of surviving microbial colonies, the diversity of the ecological environment, and other conditions will also be affected by the population of the territory.
The more people there are, the more fertile the land will be, the more stable the crop growth environment will be, and the more food will be produced every year.
The smaller the number of people, the poorer the fertility of the land. It is said that the yield per mu is two thousand catties. If you want to reach five hundred catties, you have to pray to gods and Buddhas.
“Our Tianyuan Territory is now a fifth-level territory, with a total of 580,000 people. There are three special gains for the territory drawn.”
“The first one: Wind and rain are different, this one It’s easy to understand. It means that when it rains, there will be no strong wind, and when there is strong wind, it will not rain. It is the most basic celestial phenomenon type gain.” They are all available, and their attributes are very simple. The physique of newborns who enjoy the benefits will be greatly strengthened, reducing the probability of premature death to ensure the population."
"Article 3: Metal Kingdom, this one is our territory It’s a treasure. The reason why stone engines and other technological products have been able to gain so many points to develop the territory over the years is that this gain cannot be ignored. As long as it lasts for one day, any minerals related to metal in our territory will be Slowly improve the quality, and even restore the reserve capacity at a small proportion"
The special talent of the territory was almost obvious, and Chen Kai did not hide it at all.
After all, compared with other large territories that often have seven, eight, or more than ten talents, Tianyuan Territory’s talents are really less.
If the 'Metal Kingdom' hadn't been supporting the scene, its attraction to the outside population wouldn't be as strong as those large territories.
"Dragon Flag Territory, Northland, and Sun Kingdom. When the gains were announced last time, the Sun Kingdom had the least number of 19, and the Dragon Flag Territory had 27. Now this is another year. In the past, the population of Longqi has increased by more than five million."
"I'm afraid it will exceed 30 this year~"
"So much difference?" After finishing his glass of beer, Su Mo felt a little sad.
If the population gap is only ten times, it will indeed make people want to catch up.
But territory gain is effective all the time, and every minute and every second the difference is rewritten to become even more exaggerated.
Want to catch up
"The worst piece of land in Longqi has a crop yield of more than 4,000 acres. What is the concept? The wheat in that field has to be weighed down by straw. Broken, I was almost frightened when I saw it for the first time”
"Don't talk about the fields. The fish they catch in just one river are more than our entire lake or even one river. Moreover, all of those fish weigh more than fifteen kilograms. Their meat is delicious and rich in protein. The growth rate is faster than that of the mouse. It’s outrageous. It’s really outrageous!”
“I went there before and the fruit on the tree was so sensible that I couldn’t wait for every opening. I’ve got them all for you.”
“And the climate there is like spring all year round. It’s much more comfortable than on earth when there’s no disaster!”
When it comes to dragons! In the flag territory, several people at the table who were drinking with their heads covered finally came up with the topic and began to discuss it.
Forty million people, the annual identity tax is already a terrifying figure.
If it weren't for these magical gains, which brought far more gains in all aspects than other territories, the Dragon Flag Territory simply couldn't afford such a huge amount of points to maintain the current situation.
Similarly, if a disaster involving the entire New World strikes, it will be beyond the existing human capacity to cope.
The seemingly prosperous development momentum of the three major territories will be wiped out in an instant, and they will return to the miserable situation of the three years before the end of the calendar.
"Then what do you mean, I would rather be a dog with a dragon flag than a small leader and an overlord"
"Youzong, I won't tell lies to you"< br>
"If you go to the Dragon Flag Territory once and then come back to our territory, really, you may not be able to recover in half a year."
"Half a year?" The bustling Fenghuo City at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night flashed in my mind Seeing the scene, Sumo smiled and poured another large glass of beer: "So, I have to pay for the identity of half a million people?"
"It's not that exaggerated. , even if half a million is calculated as a thousand points, it still has a trading point of 500 million. How can you get enough by yourself?" Knowing the income of Zi Liangfang Xia Shuo, Chen Kai quickly shook his head.
“Our territory usually provides local subsidies, and also has talent introduction standards. The proportion of expense reimbursement is also different according to different levels and status.”
“If you just bring in some gangsters or not, If you have people of all abilities, the reimbursement ratio will definitely be very low, and the initial start-up capital you have to bear will be a lot."
"But if you have the ability to find some people who meet the standards, as long as they meet the standards, the subsidy ratio can be up to 100%, and as long as the people you introduce next can pass the territory's ability test and obtain the corresponding ability rating, they will be given to you It’s not impossible to reward points for introducing people.”
“I see.” After hearing what Chen Kai said, Su Mo thought about it and suddenly became interested.
According to what he said, the Tianyuan Territory in the eighth year actually did not have strict local control and had great autonomy.
In terms of image, the entire territory is more like countless small territories put together.
Normally, although the lord has 100% management rights over these small territorial lords, he does not really manage them.
According to the rules of reward and punishment, if the small territory develops well, the overall strength of the territory will increase simultaneously, and naturally the lord will not be stingy with rewards.
But if the development of a small territory is poor and hinders the entire territory, then the lord will directly step down, take off his hat and replace him.
"In this case, since you Zong are from our Sangtian Town, on behalf of Sangtian Town, I will temporarily lend you five million trading points. When you go over and take office, I will directly transfer the money to Baoyu County from business to business. On the account, you can use it as starting capital first, so there is no need to rush to pay it back."
After thinking about the predicament of Baoyu County and the current gap in the account, Chen Kai put down his wine glass and looked around, and with a few other people After communicating with each other with glances, he slightly emphasized his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other people sitting at the table also said:
"You Zong, our Xishou County is a bit difficult this year, but it is not a problem to lend you five million trading points. You can rest assured to develop, our territory will definitely not treat people who are really willing to do practical things badly."
"Haha , then it seems that our Longkou County also needs five million?”
“The situation in Anhui County is better and there is nothing to spend money on. I can lend you eight million here.”
"Eight million? Well, you, Chen Hou, are really rich. Unfortunately, my Tianyuan City has been running a deficit. This time, I can only borrow two million from you to turn over the money."
You say something to me.
Before Su Mo could say anything, in less than half a minute, the five people immediately gathered up 25 million points.
At the same time, the box next to them that was still noisy didn’t know how they received the message.
One by one, they also came in and gave support according to their status and region.
“Ah this.”
By the time the last person of the first generation Chen finished speaking, the total points had reached 42 million points.
Even though he was mentally prepared for this huge amount of money, Sumo couldn't help but froze in place, feeling extremely moved in his heart. Only by not forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.
This has been said a lot, but it is true that it is easy to say, but how difficult it is to do.
Looking at these "acquaintances" who are obviously older than they remembered.
The scene when he met everyone for the first time suddenly appeared in Sumo's mind.
In that dilapidated kobold camp, all the refugees imprisoned on Saltpeter Mountain only had half a piece of rotten potato to feed themselves every day.
But when he rushed in wearing armor, these people chose to resist immediately and fought until they were dripping with blood!
Thinking back to the young faces when we first met, and the shouts of those who knelt down and begged to follow them.
At that time, perhaps they themselves did not expect that they would follow this Lord "Lu Bu" to create such a huge territory.
At that time, they themselves may not know exactly what kind of future life trajectory will be written as disasters change.
Perhaps it was the stacked pancakes placed by Somo at the entrance of the camp that strengthened their determination to continue fighting.
It may also be that pairs of eyes stared at them later, causing their original intentions to be constantly wiped out.
Eight years have passed, and Sumo is very pleased and fortunate.
Perhaps people like Chen are indeed not as farsighted and capable as the managers of the Long Banner Territory, and can lead the territory to continuous development.
But they really did their best to protect the Tianyuan territory and grow to this day.
The current situation has reached their personal limit.
No matter how much, it can only be left to luck and opportunity!
"It seems that I do have a good vision."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"
Standing in the crowd, Sumo bowed slightly and was stood next to him. Chen Kai supported him.
"Youzong, it's not our hard work, and it's not your turn to be grateful to us, it's us who should be grateful to you"
"In this critical moment, we know that we are not capable enough and cannot stand up"
"But since the clan leader believes in you, we also believe in you, as long as you can lead the territory out of the predicament."
When Chen Kai said this, he stopped talking slightly and looked at the others.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, very neatly choosing to bend their bodies at ninety degrees until their heads were completely parallel to the ground.
"I am willing to ride for you!"
A uniform voice and a mighty momentum.
Not only did it arouse the curiosity of the waiters in the tavern, but it also made the boss Lin Baojin think something was wrong.
But immediately, when they secretly looked over from the hall, they discovered that all the "big guys" were bowing to the young man in the middle in unison.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
The Chen family is the largest family in Tianyuan territory.
When the mainstay among them lowers his noble head towards a certain person as if declaring allegiance.
What that means.
“It seems that my tavern is open to the end.”
I noticed that the big guys in the box were casting their gazes, staring blankly at the tavern waiter and the waiter who were standing not far away. After myself.
Lin Baojin gave a wry smile, and for a moment he didn't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky.
I saw an unknown new boss appear. If he could hug this thick leg tightly, he would definitely be able to take off on the spot.
But for the group of outsiders who have appeared in Hope City in recent days, everyone knows that they are constantly searching for traces of the human God Su, as well as the abnormal situation in the Tianyuan territory.
Right now, a big event like a dozen Chen family bosses bowing to a young man will definitely cause huge waves once it is revealed.
He himself can keep it secret, but what about the seven or eight waiters in the tavern
"Baojin, you should rest for a while in the next few days. It just happens to be a holiday, and then you can study the art of brewing. The territories that your tavern has lost will be made up for you, don't worry"
Chen Kai walked out, glanced coldly at the waiters who didn't dare to say anything, and then turned his attention to Lin Baojin.
"Mayor Chen, Baojin knows."
With another wry smile, Lin Baojin took a step forward and nodded obediently.
The beer he brews is definitely one of a kind in the New World. If it weren't for the fact that there were so few people who could afford it and the cost of medium and long-distance transportation was too high, it would have been sold throughout the continent.
But even so, it doesn't mean that he has any qualifications to challenge such a behemoth as Tianyuan Territory.
Back then, it was the Tianyuan Territory that rescued him from the refugees who were whipped by the aliens and gave him a second life.
Now, no beer, no Lin Baojin.
The sun will rise tomorrow as usual, and the normal life of everyone in the territory will not be disturbed.
In the wasteland of the apocalypse, without the appreciation and attention of those in high and powerful positions, human lives are like grass and must be cut off at will.
"I will close the store now, and I will immediately apply with Secretary Jiang to enter the confidential isolation room."
Lin Baojin is no stranger to confidentiality procedures.
Just.
Before he could finish his sentence, he subconsciously stopped talking when he saw the new boss in the box walking over with interest.
"Lin Baojin? Your beer is really good. How about it? Are you interested in going to other places with me to develop?"
"Other places?" Being stared at by Su Mo, Lin Baojin trembled all over and blushed with excitement on his face.
But then, thinking of his past failures, he could only say with a grimace:
"Sir, to tell you the truth, Baojin only knows the craft of brewing beer. Although I think it tastes good, not half inferior to the signature beers in other territories, but the previous few exports have failed. If you want to sell my beer to other territories, you have to factor in the shipping costs along the way and the loss of various items. , I’m afraid I haven’t lost money yet.”
“No, who said I would transport your beer to other territories to sell it?”
Shaked his head and looked at the scene in front of him. Boss Nian looked honest, and Su Mo couldn't help but think of the results of the analysis of the territory's industrial chain these days, as well as the Gu family brothers who had previously brought other territory goods and sold them to their doorsteps.
In order to seek stability, the strict control over outsiders over the years has indeed made it impossible for the Tianyuan Territory to take advantage of its geographical advantages.
Dozens of railways leading to different places pass through it. As long as the conditions are relaxed, the swarming foreign population will have unimaginable purchasing power and influence, completely detonating the specialty products of Tianyuan Territory.
"Not for sale. Then." Not understanding what Su Mo meant, Lin Baojin stuttered a little and was stunned for a moment.
But then, he figured out his "original intention" like a flash of lightning: "Sir, just do whatever you say. Baojin only brews beer. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. If you ask me to catch fish, I will never kill chickens."
"Hahaha, you are such a wonderful boss!"
Seeing that Lin Baojin finally grasped the key point, Su Mo joked, and Chen Kai also laughed happily.
The next second, the entire tavern suddenly lost its stagnant atmosphere and returned to its previous joy.
"My name is Su Youzong. Someone will come to meet you later and wait for my news."
"Okay, Mr. Su."
Bow and nod obediently. Watching everyone along the way, they returned to the box and continued drinking.
Lin Baojin then stamped his feet on the spot, wanting to run out of the tavern and vent his excitement on the streets of Hope City.
“That’s right!”
“I have to contact Secretary Jiang quickly to ensure that the information cannot be leaked.”
Suddenly, I remembered Chen Kai’s serious instructions just now, and Hope the chaos in the city.
Lin Baojin quickly suppressed his excitement, turned his head, picked up the pager to notify, and gathered all the waiters in the center of the hall.
"What happened tonight is not allowed to be spread outside. During the quarantine period, everyone's salary will be doubled."
"Yes!"
Looking at all the waiters nodding, Lin Baojin felt relieved.
But unfortunately, he failed to notice it in the right corner.
A waiter with a sweat towel on his shoulders had obvious excitement on his face when he lowered his head.
Send 600 words, thank you for your support, thank you Rainbow Flying Pig, thank Dalin for the reward, thank you!
