My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 744: The return of the overlord, Chen’s original heart!
Chapter 747 The overlord returns, Chen's original heart!
"Initial Identity."
"Annual tax payment."
"Number of people reward."
"Territory upgrade!"
Chen Kai is still eloquently talking about the origin of the identity system and the various changes this system has brought to the wasteland.
Sitting across from him, sipping the beer in his glass, Su Mo kept flashing the summed up nouns in his mind.
The wasteland outside the ruins is only one year of the last days.
The term territory is still vaguely reflected on the game board. It only roughly defines the group and gives it a name in advance, and does not involve specific gameplay and rules.
You can enter behind the ruins.
With the passage of time and the change of four versions in eight years, the territory finally has more definitions, and gradually penetrates into the wasteland and evolves into a complete set of game rules.
Eight years ago, a survivor came to the wasteland. In a short period of time, he had to face extremely dangerous survival predicaments such as water shortage, food shortage, and approaching natural disasters. He only needed to solve these, and his life could slowly be put on the right track. , and began to respond to disasters in an orderly manner.
Eight years later, a new survivor came to the wasteland. Although under the complete territory system of human beings, these survival resources are not worried in the short term, but in the long run, their pressure is much higher than before. many.
Immediately after the arrival of , each person only has 10 initial trading points, and can only purchase the lowest level status of the smallest territory.
If you can't quickly recognize the situation, convert the points into status, join a small territory and work hard to earn enough food.
Then it is very likely that due to consumption, the points are not enough for the most basic requirements. When a disaster occurs, you become a homeless person, and the power to deal with the disaster is doubled.
Even with sufficient guidance, they joined the territory.
During each disaster, if you slack off a little, you will be directly knocked down to the bottom of the survival chain, and you will be precarious all day long.
On the other hand, those who have an identity are not without worries.
Territories go bankrupt, which is a common occurrence in this chaotic era.
Maybe just paying for the trading point that has been saved for a long time, and buying the identity you want.
Falling back, the territory was unable to pay the high annual taxes due to accidents or natural disasters, leading to bankruptcy.
Once the territory is disbanded, all the citizens not only lost the trading point of the initial purchase, but also had to find a way to get a wave of funds to buy identities to join the new territory.
All kinds of risks are still like the sword of Damocles hanging over the head.
Make no survivor dare to stop and accumulate trading points, and no territory dare to slack off.
Of course, such a strict taxation is not without corresponding benefits.
The more people join the territory, the higher the level of the territory, and the special attributes and various basic environments that can be enjoyed are also different.
Take the simplest weather as an example.
Longqi Territory has the largest permanent population and 40 million people. It is sunny when there is no disaster, and the highest temperature is only 28 degrees, which is very comfortable mixed with the breeze.
As for Wuya Mansion, which has a population of 3 million people, the highest temperature will not exceed 33 degrees Celsius under the same weather.
But in Tianyuan Territory, where the number of residents is only 500,000, the temperature will often rise to 35 degrees or even 38 degrees on sunny days, and the comfort level will plummet.
As for those territories with a smaller population, perhaps only tens of thousands, or even thousands of people.
The temperature they can feel is even more frightening. 40 degrees is commonplace, and 45 degrees is just about to come. At noon, it will break through to around 50 degrees to challenge the limit of human survival.
Aside from the weather, the nutrient level of the land, the richness of water organisms, the number of microbial colonies surviving, the diversity of the ecological environment and other conditions will also be affected by the population of the territory.
The larger the number of people, the stronger the land fertility, the more stable the crop growth environment, and the more food produced each year.
The smaller the number of people, the poorer the fertility of the land. It is said that the yield per mu is 2,000 catties. If you want to reach 500 catties, you have to pray to God and worship Buddha.
"Our Tianyuan territory is now a fifth-level territory, with a total of 580,000 people, and there are three special gains for the territory we have drawn."
"The first rule: wind and rain are different, this is easy to understand, that is, when it rains, there will be no strong wind, and when there is strong wind, it will not rain. It is the most basic astronomical gain"
"Article 2: Healthy newborns, most territories have this, and the attributes are also very simple. The newborns who enjoy the buff will have a greatly enhanced physique, reducing the probability of premature death to ensure the population."
"The third item: Metal Kingdom, this item is the housekeeping treasure of our territory. The reason why the energy stone engine and other technological products have been able to gain so many points to develop the territory over the years, this gain is absolutely unacceptable Ignore it, as long as it is in one day, any minerals in our territory that are bordered by metals will gradually improve in quality, and even recover reserves in a small proportion"
It is almost a special talent for the territory that is on the surface, and Chen Kai did not hide it in the slightest.
After all, compared with other large territories, which often have seven or eight or more than ten, the talent of Tianyuan Territory is really less.
If it weren't for the 'Metal Kingdom' that has been supporting the scene, the attraction to foreigners would not be as strong as those big territories.
"Dragon Banner Territory, North Land, and Sun Kingdom, when the last announcement was made, the least number of Sun Kingdoms was 19, and the Dragon Banner Territory even had 27. Now another year has passed, Dragon The population on the other side of the flag has increased by more than five million."
"I'm afraid I will break 30 this year~"
"So much difference?" Su Mo felt a little sad after finishing his glass of beer.
If there is only a ten-fold population gap, it can indeed make people think of catching up.
But the territory gain is in effect all the time, and every minute and every second is rewriting the number of the gap to be more exaggerated.
want to catch up
"The worst piece of land in Longqi, the crop yield is above 4,000 mu. What kind of concept is this? The wheat in that field will be crushed by the straw. I almost didn't get scared when I saw it for the first time. Broken"
"Don't talk about the ground, the fish in their river is more than our entire lake, or even a river, and each of those fish weighs more than 15 catties, and the meat is delicious. Rich in protein, the growth rate is faster than that of the mouse, outrageous, really outrageous!"
"I went there before, and the fruit on the tree is so sensible, I wish I could fill every gap with you"
"There is also the climate over there, it is like spring all the year round, and it is much more comfortable than on earth when there is no disaster!"
As soon as Longqi's territory was mentioned, several people drinking with their heads covered at the table finally came up with a topic and began to talk and discuss.
Forty million people, the annual status tax is already a terrifying number.
If it weren't for these miraculous gains, the gains in all aspects would be far more than other territories, and the Dragon Banner territory would simply not be able to afford such a huge amount of points to maintain the status quo.
Similarly, if a disaster involving the entire New World befalls, it is beyond the ability of the existing human beings to deal with it.
The seemingly thriving development momentum of the three major territories will be extinguished in an instant, and they will return to the miserable situation of the three years before the end of the calendar.
"Then how do you say it, I would rather be a dog in Longqi than a little leader and overlord"
"You Zong, my brother won't tell you lies"
"If you go to the Longqi territory once, and then return to our territory, really, you may not be able to slow down in half a year"
"Half a year?" The bustling scene of Fenghuo City at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night flashed in his mind, Su Mo smiled, and added a large glass of beer to himself: "According to this, 500,000 people buy identities I have to pay all the money?"
"It's not such an exaggeration. Even if you calculate 500,000 based on 1,000 points, it's still 500 million trading points. How can you make enough by yourself?" Knowing the benefits of Zizai Liangfang Xia, Chen Kai quickly shook his head.
"Our territory usually has local subsidies, and there are also standards for talent introduction, and the proportion of expense reimbursement is different according to the level and status"
"If you just bring in some **** or incompetent people to make up the number of people, then the reimbursement ratio must be very low, and the initial start-up capital you have to bear is a lot"
"But if you have the ability to find some people who meet the standards to come in, as long as they meet the standards, the subsidy ratio can be up to 100%, and the next people who are introduced will only need to pass the ability test of the territory and obtain the corresponding ability rating. It is not impossible to give you reward points for the introduction."
"So that's how it is." After hearing what Chen Kai said, Su Mo thought about it and immediately became interested.
According to what he said, the Tianyuan Territory in the eighth year is actually not very strict with the local control, and has a lot of autonomy.
Speaking of image, the entire territory is more like a patchwork of countless small territories.
Usually, although the lords have 100% management rights over the lords of these small territories, they don't really manage them.
According to the rules of rewards and punishments, if a small territory develops well, the overall strength of the territory will rise simultaneously. Naturally, the lord will not be stingy with rewards.
But if the development of the small territory is poor and the whole territory is hindered, then the lord will go out immediately, take off his hat and replace him.
"Well, since you are from our Sangtian Township, I will temporarily lend you five million trading points on behalf of Sangtian Township. When you take office in the past, you will directly transfer the money to Baoyu County's account. , you use it as the starting capital first, so don’t rush to pay it back"
Thinking about the predicament of Baoyu County and the current gap in the accounts, Chen Kai put down his wine glass and looked around.
And when his voice just fell, the other people sitting on the table did not fall behind, and also made a sound:
"You Zong, my Xishou County is a bit difficult this year, but it is not a problem to borrow you five million trading points. You can rest assured to develop, and our territory will definitely not treat people who are really willing to do practical things badly."
"Haha, it seems that my Longkou County has five million?"
"The situation in Anzhu County is better, and there is nothing to spend money on. I can lend you eight million here."
"Eight million? Well, Chen Hou is really a rich man. I have a pity that Tianyuan City has been running a deficit. This time I can only borrow two million from you."
You talk to me.
Before Su Mo could say anything, in less than half a minute, the five of them pooled together 25 million points.
At the same time, the noisy box next to it did not know how it received the message.
One by one, they also walked in, and gave support according to their identities and regions.
"Ah this."
By the time the last member of the first Chen family had finished speaking, the total number of points had reached as high as 42 million.
This huge sum of money, Rao had already prepared himself mentally, and Su Mo couldn't help being stunned, feeling a great emotion in his heart.
If you don’t forget your original intention, you will always be there.
This famous saying that has been said badly is true, but it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it.
Looking at these "acquaintances" who are obviously older than they remember.
In Su Mo's mind, the scene when he met everyone for the first time suddenly appeared.
In the dilapidated kobold camp, all the refugees imprisoned on the saltpeter mountain had only half a piece of rotten potato to eat each day.
But when he rushed in wearing armor, these people chose to rise up and resist at the first moment, killing blood dripping!
I think of the young faces when we first met, and the roar when I knelt down and begged to follow myself.
At that time, they may not have imagined that they would create such a huge territory with Lord "Lu Bu".
At that time, they may not know what kind of posture their future life trajectory will be written with the changing disasters.
It may be the big cakes stacked up at the gate of the camp and put down by Sumo, which made them firm in their original intention to persist in fighting.
It may also be that a pair of eyes were fixed on them later, so that their original intentions were constantly being wiped out.
Eight years have passed, Su Mo is very pleased and fortunate.
Maybe people like the Chen family are not as far-sighted and capable as the managers of the Longqi territory, and they can lead the territory to continue to develop.
But they really did their best to protect the Tianyuan Territory and grow up to today.
The current situation is already their personal limit.
No matter how much, it can only be handed over to luck and opportunities in the dark!
"It seems that my vision is really good"
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work!"
Standing in the crowd, Su Mo bowed slightly before being supported by Chen Kai next to him.
"You Zong, it's not our hard work, and it's not your turn to thank us, we should be grateful to you"
“In times of crisis, we don’t know enough to stand up”
"But since the patriarch believes in you, then we also believe in you, as long as you can lead the territory out of the predicament"
When Chen Kai said this, Wei Wei stopped talking and looked at the others.
And everyone looked at each other, nodded, and chose to bow their bodies at ninety degrees very neatly, until their heads were completely parallel to the ground.
"Willing to saddle for you!"
The uniform voice, the mighty momentum.
Not only aroused the curiosity of the waiters in the tavern, but also made the owner Lin Baojin think that something was wrong.
But immediately, when they sneaked a look from the hall, they found that all the "big bosses" bowed to the young man in the middle in unison.
For a while, everyone was stunned.
Chen Family, the largest family in Tianyuan Territory.
When the mainstay among them lowers their noble heads, as if declaring their allegiance, to someone.
That represents the meaning.
"It seems that my tavern is closed."
I noticed that the bosses in the box cast their gazes out, staring blankly at the tavern waiter standing not far away and himself behind.
Lin Baojin smiled wryly, for a moment he didn't know whether to say luck or bad luck.
I saw an unknown new boss appear, if he can hug this thick leg tightly, he will definitely be able to take off on the spot.
But the group of outsiders who appeared in Hope City in recent days, everyone knows that they are constantly searching for traces of the human Su God and the abnormal situation in Tianyuan Territory.
Right now, a dozen or so big brothers from the Chen family bowed to a young man. Once it is revealed, it will definitely cause huge waves.
He can keep his mouth shut, but the seven or eight waiters in the tavern
"Bao Jin, you should rest for a while in the next few days, just take a vacation, and then study the craft of brewing. You will make up for the lost territories of your tavern, don't worry"
Chen Kai came out, glanced coldly at the waiters who were not daring to make a sound, and then turned his gaze to Lin Baojin.
"Mayor Chen, Baojin knows"
Laughing wryly again, Lin Baojin took a step forward, and quickly nodded obediently.
The beer he brews is definitely considered the best in the New World. If it weren't for the fact that there are too few people who can afford it, and the cost of medium and long-distance transportation is too high, it should have been sold throughout the continent.
But even so, it doesn't mean that he has the slightest qualification to challenge such a behemoth as Tianyuan Territory.
Back then, it was the Tianyuan Territory that rescued him from the refugee group under the lash of the foreign race and gave him a second life.
Now, no beer, no Lim Po Kim.
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 end of the world, without the appreciation and attention of those with high positions and powers, human life is like grass, and it can be cut as soon as it is said.
"I will close the store now, and I will immediately apply to Secretary Jiang to enter the confidential isolation room."
When it comes to the confidentiality process, Lin Baojin is no stranger.
Just.
Before he could finish his sentence completely, he subconsciously stopped talking when he saw the new boss in the box approaching with great interest.
"Lin Baojin? Your beer brewing is really good. How about it? Are you interested in developing with me in other places?"
"Other places?" Seeing Su Mo staring at him, Lin Baojin trembled all over, and flushed with excitement on his face.
But then, thinking of his past failures, he could only say with a bitter face:
"My lord, to tell you the truth, Baojin only knows the craft of brewing beer. Although he thinks the taste is good, not half a cent worse than the signature beer in other territories, but the previous few exports have failed. If you want to Selling my beer to other territories, including the shipping costs along the way, as well as various loss of items, I am afraid that the profit is not lost."
"No, who said I'm going to ship your beer to other territories to sell?"
Shaking his head, looking at the honest face of the middle-aged boss in front of him, Su Mo couldn't help thinking about the results of the analysis of the industrial chain of the territory these days, and the Gu family who brought other goods from the territory and sold them at the door. brother.
In order to seek stability, the strict control of outsiders these 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. You only need to relax a little bit of conditions, and the influx of foreign population will have unimaginable purchasing power and influence, which will completely detonate the special products of Tianyuan Territory.
"Not for sale. Then." Unable to understand Su Mo's meaning, Lin Baojin stuttered, and was stunned for a moment.
But later, he figured out his "initial intention" like a flash: "My lord, you can do whatever you want. Baojin just brews beer. If you let me go east, I will never go west. If you let me I will never kill chickens when I catch fish"
"Hahaha, you boss, you are such a wonderful person!"
Seeing that Lin Baojin had finally grasped the point, Su Mo made a joke, and Chen Kai also laughed happily.
The next second, the stagnant atmosphere in the entire tavern suddenly disappeared, and the joy before was restored again.
"My name is Su Youzong, someone will come to connect with you later, wait for my news"
"Okay, Mr. Su."
Bowed and nodded obediently, watching everyone all the way back to the box and continuing to drink.
Lin Baojin stomped his feet on the spot, wishing he could run out of the tavern~IndoMTL.com~ to vent his excitement on the streets of Hope City.
"Yes!"
"I have to contact Secretary Jiang as soon as possible to ensure that the information will not be leaked"
Suddenly, I remembered Chen Kai's solemn entrustment just now, and hoped for the chaos in the city.
Lin Baojin quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head, picked up the pager to notify, and gathered all the waiters in the center of the hall.
"No rumors are allowed about what happened tonight, everyone's salary will be doubled during the quarantine"
“Yes!”
Looking at all the waiters nodding repeatedly, Lin Baojin felt relieved.
But unfortunately, he failed to notice it in the corner on the right.
A waiter with a sweat towel on his shoulders had the same obvious excitement when he lowered his head.
Send 600 words, thank you for your support, thank Rainbow Fliggy, thank Dalin for the reward, thank you!
