Chapter 747 The Overlord Returns, Chen's Original Aspiration!

"Initial identity."

"Annual tax payment."

"Number of people reward."

"Territory upgrade!"

Chen Kai was still talking about the origin of the identity system and the various changes it brought to the wasteland.

Sitting opposite, sipping the beer in the glass, Su Mo's mind kept flashing through the nouns he summarized.

The wasteland outside the ruins is only one year of the apocalypse.

The term "territory" is still very vague on the game panel. It only roughly defines the group and gives a name first, without involving specific gameplay and rules.

After entering the ruins.

As time goes by, with the superposition of four versions in eight years, the territory finally has more definitions, and gradually goes deep into the wasteland and evolves into a complete set of game rules.

Eight years ago, a survivor came to the wasteland and had to face water shortages, food shortages, natural disasters, etc. in the short term. Extremely dangerous survival dilemmas, as long as these are solved, life can be slowly put on track and start to deal with disasters in an orderly manner.

Eight years later, a new survivor came to the wasteland. Although under the complete human territory system, they are not worried about these survival resources in the short term, in the long run, their pressure is much higher than before.

In the first moment after landing, everyone has only 10 initial trading points, which can only buy the lowest level identity in the smallest territory.

If you can't quickly recognize the situation, convert the points into an identity, join a small territory and work hard to earn enough food.

Then it is very likely that because of consumption, the points will not be enough for the most basic requirements, and you will become a wanderer in the disaster to deal with the doubled disaster power.

Even with sufficient guidance, plus Entered the territory.

During each disaster, if you slack off a little, you will be directly thrown to the bottom of the survival chain, and your life will be in danger all day long.

On the other hand, those who have an identity are not without worries.

The closure of the territory is a common occurrence in this chaotic era.

You may have just paid the trading points you have saved for a long time and bought the identity you want.

The territory cannot afford the high annual taxes due to an accident or a natural disaster, leading to bankruptcy.

Once the territory is dissolved, all the people in the territory will not only lose the trading points they initially purchased, but also have to find a way to get a wave of funds to buy an identity to join a new territory.

All kinds of risks are still like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

Prompting any survivor to dare not stop In order to accumulate trading points, 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, and the special attributes and basic environments that can be enjoyed are also different.

Take the simplest weather as an example.

In the Longqi territory with the largest permanent population and 40 million people, the highest temperature is only 28 degrees on sunny days without disasters, and it is very comfortable with a breeze.

In Wuyafu, where the number of people is as many as 3 million, the highest temperature will not exceed 33 degrees Celsius in the same weather.

But in Tianyuan territory, where the number of people is only 500,000, the temperature often rises to 35 degrees or even around 38 degrees on sunny days, and the comfort level can be said to drop sharply.

As for those territories with even smaller populations, perhaps only tens of thousands or even thousands of people.

The temperature they can feel is even more terrifying. 40 degrees is commonplace, 45 degrees is also said to come, and it will break through to around 50 degrees at noon to challenge the limit of human survival.

Apart from the weather, the nutrient level of the land, the richness of aquatic organisms, the number of surviving microbial colonies, the diversity of the ecological environment and other conditions will also be affected by the number of people in the territory.

The more people there are, the more fertile the land is, the more stable the crop growth environment is, and the more food is produced each year.

The fewer people there are, the poorer the land fertility is. It is said that if the yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms, you have to pray to the gods to reach 500 kilograms.

"Our Tianyuan territory is now a level 5 territory, with a total of 580,000 people. There are three special territory gains drawn."

"The first one: Wind and rain have different paths. This one is easy to understand. It means that when it rains, there will be no strong winds, and when it blows strong winds, there will be no rain. It is the most basic astronomical gain."

"The second one: Strong newborn. Most territories have this one. The attribute is also very simple. The physical fitness of newborns who enjoy the gain will be greatly enhanced, reducing the probability of premature death to ensure the population."

"The third one: Metal Kingdom. This one is the treasure of our territory. The reason why the stone engine and other technological products can draw so many points to develop the territory in recent years is that this gain must not be ignored. As long as it is there for a day, any minerals in our territory that are related to metals will slowly improve in quality, and even restore the reserves at a small proportion."

It is almost a special talent of the territory that is open to the public. Chen Kai did not hide it at all.

After all, compared with other large territories that have seven or eight or more than ten, the talent of Tianyuan Territory is indeed less.

If it weren’t for the ‘Metal Kingdom’ that has been holding up the scene, its attraction to outside population would not be as strong as those large territories.

"Dragon Flag Territory, Northland, Sun Kingdom, the last time the increase was announced, the Sun Kingdom had the least 19, and Dragon Flag Territory had 27. Now another year has passed, and the population of Dragon Flag has increased by more than 5 million."

"I'm afraid it will exceed 30 this year~"

"Is the difference so big?" After finishing the beer in the glass, Su Mo sighed slightly.

If it was just a ten-fold population gap, it would indeed make people want to catch up.

But the territory gain is working all the time, and every minute and every second is rewriting the gap numbers to be more exaggerated.

Want to catch up

"The worst piece of land in Longqi has a crop yield of more than 4,000 mu. What a concept. The wheat in the field is about to be crushed by the wheat stalks. I was almost scared when I saw it for the first time."

"Don't talk about the fields. The fish caught in their river are more than our entire lake or even a river. Moreover, each of those fish is more than 15 kilograms. The meat is delicious and rich in protein. The growth rate is faster than that of mice. It's outrageous, really outrageous!"

"I went there before. The fruits on the trees were so sensible that I wished every gap was filled with them for you."

"And the climate there is like spring all year round. When there is no disaster, it is much more comfortable than on Earth!"

When talking about the territory of Longqi, several people at the table who were drinking with their heads covered finally came up with a topic and began to discuss it.

Forty million people, the annual identity tax is already a terrifying number.

If it weren't for these magical gains, which brought far more benefits 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 came, it would be beyond the current human ability to cope with.

The seemingly thriving development momentum of the three territories would be instantly extinguished, and they would return to the miserable situation three years before the end of the world.

"Well, what's the saying? I'd rather be a dog of Longqi than a tyrant of a small territory."

"Youzong, I won't lie to you."

"If you go to Longqi territory once and then come back to our territory, it's true that you may not be able to recover in half a year."

"Half a year?" The prosperous scene of Fenghuo City at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night flashed through his mind. Su Mo smiled and poured another large glass of beer: "So, I have to pay for the identity purchase of 500,000 people?"

"It's not that exaggerated. Even if 500,000 is calculated at 1,000 points, it will be 500 million trading points. How can you get enough by yourself?" Knowing the income of Zizailiangfang's summer harvest, Chen Kai shook his head quickly.

"Our territory usually provides subsidies to local areas, and also has talent introduction standards. The reimbursement ratio varies according to different levels and identities."

"If you just introduce some idiots or people with no ability to make up the number, then the reimbursement ratio will definitely be very low, and you will have to bear a lot of initial start-up funds."

"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 introduced next can pass the territory's ability test and obtain the corresponding ability rating, it is not impossible to give you bonus points as the introducer."

"So that's it." After listening to Chen Kai's statement, Su Mo thought about it and immediately became interested.

According to him, the eight-year Tianyuan territory is actually not very strict in controlling the local area, and has a lot of autonomy.

To put it in a more vivid way, the entire territory is more like countless small territories put together.

Usually, although the lord has 100% management power over these small territories, he will not really manage them.

According to the reward and punishment rules, if a small territory develops well, the overall strength of the territory will rise simultaneously, and the lord will naturally not be stingy with rewards.

But if a small territory develops poorly and drags down the entire territory, the lord will directly step down, take off his hat and replace him.

"So, Youzong, since you are from our Sangtian Town, I will temporarily lend you 5 million trading points on behalf of Sangtian Town. When you take office, you can directly transfer the money from public to public to the account of Baoyu County. You can use it as starting capital first, and don't rush to pay it back."

After thinking about the predicament of Baoyu County and the current account gap, Chen Kai put down his wine glass and looked around. After communicating with the other people, he slightly emphasized his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others sitting at the table also spoke up:

"Youzong, my Xishou County is a bit difficult this year, but it is not a problem to lend you 5 million trading points. You can rest assured to develop. Our territory will definitely not treat those who are really willing to do practical things unfairly."

"Haha, then it seems that my Longkou County will also need 5 million?"

"The situation in Anzai County is better, and there is nothing to spend money on. I can lend you 8 million."

"Eight million? Good, you Chen Hou are really a rich man. It's a pity that my Tianyuan City has been in deficit. This time I can only lend you 2 million to make ends meet."

You and I talked one after another.

Before Su Mo could speak, in less than half a minute, the five people immediately raised 25 million points.

At the same time, the box next to them, which was still noisy, didn't know how it received the information.

One by one, they walked in and gave support according to their identities and regions.

"Ah, this"

When the last person of the first generation Chen family finished speaking, the points raised had reached 42 million points.

Even though he was mentally prepared for this huge amount of money, Su Mo couldn't help but stand there, and a great feeling of emotion rose in his heart.

Only by keeping the original intention in mind can you achieve the end.

This famous saying that has been said too much is indeed easy to say, but I don't know how difficult it is to do it.

Looking at these "acquaintances" who are obviously older than in memory.

Su Mo's mind suddenly rose up the scene when he first met everyone.

In the dilapidated dog-headed camp, all the refugees imprisoned on the saltpeter mountain had only half a rotten potato per person to fill their stomachs every day.

But when he rushed in wearing armor, these people chose to rise up and resist at the first time, killing until blood was dripping!

Thinking of the young faces when they first met, and the roars of kneeling down and asking to follow him.

At that time, they might not have thought that they would follow this "Lu Bu" to create such a huge territory.

At that time, they might not know what kind of posture their future life trajectory would write with the successive disasters.

It may be that the stacked cakes placed by Su Mo at the entrance of the camp made them determined to persist in their original intention to fight.

It may also be that the eyes that were fixed on them later made them constantly take out their original intentions.

Eight years have passed, and Su Mo is very pleased and fortunate.

Maybe the people of the Chen family are indeed not as far-sighted and capable as the managers of the Dragon Flag Territory, and can continue to develop the territory.

But they have really done their best to protect the Tianyuan Territory and grow it to today.

The current situation is already their personal limit.

Any more can only be left to luck and opportunity!

"It seems that my vision is really good"

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

Standing in the crowd, Su Mo bowed slightly and was supported by Chen Kai next to him.

"You Zong, it's not us who are working hard, 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 can't stand up"

"But since the clan leader believes in you, then we also believe in you, as long as you can lead the territory out of the predicament"

Chen Kai said this, slightly stopped talking and looked at the others.

And everyone looked at each other and nodded, very neatly choosing to bow 90 degrees until their heads were completely parallel to the ground.

"I am willing to serve you!"

The uniform voice and the mighty momentum.

Not only did it attract the curiosity of the waiters in the tavern, but it also made the boss Lin Baojin think that something was wrong.

But soon, when they secretly looked over from the hall, they found that all the "big guys" actually bowed to the young man in the middle in unison.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The Chen family, the largest family in Tianyuan territory.

When the pillars of their family lowered their noble heads, as if declaring allegiance to someone.

What it means.

"It seems that my tavern has come to an end."

After noticing that the big guys in the box cast their eyes out, staring blankly at the tavern waiter and himself who were standing stupidly not far away.

Lin Baojin smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to say lucky or unlucky.

He saw an unknown new big guy appear. If he could hold on to this thick leg, he would definitely take off on the spot.

But everyone in the hope that the group of outsiders who appeared in the city in recent days knew that they were constantly searching for the traces of the human Su Shen and the abnormal situation in the Tianyuan territory.

At present, a dozen Chen big guys bowed to a young man. Once such a big event was revealed, it would definitely cause a huge wave.

He can keep his mouth shut, but what about the seven or eight waiters in the tavern?

"Baojin, you should take a break for a while in the next few days. It's a good time to take a vacation and study the brewing skills. The territory of your tavern will make up for the losses, don't worry."

Chen Kai walked out, glanced coldly at the waiters who dared not make a sound, and then cast his eyes on Lin Baojin.

"Mayor Chen, Baojin knows"

With another bitter smile, Lin Baojin stepped forward and nodded obediently.

The beer he brewed is definitely a unique one in the New World. If it weren't for the fact that there are too few people who can afford it and the high cost of medium and long-distance transportation, it should have been sold all over the continent.

But even so, it doesn't mean that he has the qualifications to challenge such a giant as Tianyuan Territory.

Back then, it was Tianyuan Territory that rescued him from the refugees whipped by foreign races and gave him a second life.

Now, there is 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 apocalyptic wasteland, if you don't get the appreciation and attention of the powerful, human life is like grass, and you can cut it at will.

"I will close the store now, and I will apply to Secretary Jiang to enter the confidential isolation room immediately."

When it comes to confidentiality procedures, Lin Baojin is not unfamiliar.

But.

Before he could finish this sentence, he saw the new boss in the box coming over with interest, and he subconsciously stopped talking.

"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 his face flushed with excitement.

But then, thinking of his past failures, he could only say with a bitter face:

"Sir, to be honest, Bao Jin only knows how to brew beer. Although he thinks it tastes good and is no worse than the signature beers of other territories, the previous exports have failed. If you want me to sell my beer to other territories, I'm afraid I'll make more money than lose money, considering the freight and the loss of various items along the way."

"No, who said I want 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 of the results of the analysis of the territory's industrial chain these days, and the Gu brothers who brought goods from other territories to sell at their doorsteps.

In order to seek stability, the strict control of outsiders in recent years has indeed made it impossible for Tianyuan Territory to play its geographical advantages.

Dozens of railways leading to different places pass through, and as long as the conditions are relaxed a little, the influx of foreign population will have unimaginable purchasing power and influence, which will completely detonate the specialty products of Tianyuan Territory.

"Not selling that" 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" in a flash: "Sir, whatever you say, Baojin will just brew beer. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to catch fish, I will never kill chickens"

"Hahaha, you are such a wonderful boss!"

Seeing that Lin Baojin finally grasped the point, Su Mo joked, and Chen Kai also laughed happily.

The next second, the whole tavern suddenly lost its stagnant atmosphere and returned to its previous joy.

"My name is Su Youzong, someone will come to connect with you later, wait for my news"

"Okay, Lord Su"

He bowed and nodded obediently, looked at everyone along the way and returned to the box to continue drinking.

Lin Baojin stomped his feet on the spot, wishing he could run out of the tavern directly and vent his excitement on the streets of Hope City.

"That's right!"

"I have to contact Secretary Jiang quickly to make sure the information doesn't leak out."

Suddenly, he remembered Chen Kai's serious instructions just now, and the chaos in the city.

Lin Baojin quickly suppressed his excitement, turned around, 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. Everyone's salary will be doubled during the quarantine period."

"Yes!"

Looking at all the waiters nodding, Lin Baojin finally felt relieved.

But unfortunately, he didn't notice the corner on the right.

A waiter with a sweat towel on his shoulder, when he lowered his head, his face also showed obvious excitement.

Send 600 words, thank you for your support, thank you Rainbow Flying Pig, thank you Dalin for the reward, thank you!
