Chapter 579 The Final Supplementary Exchange 【Subscription】【5K】

Zong Shen paused for a moment, then continued to add.

"Tiezi, this chariot will be kept by you for the time being. It is strictly forbidden to leave the living area within three kilometers without my order."

"You have to take good care of this sweet potato vine of Salome Lin Yu, and arrange for someone to plant it tomorrow."

The first to respond was Barenque Ironhand, who jumped excitedly on the chariot.

"Your order is my light!"

"I am your most loyal subject!"

Its tone was excited, and its voice was sharp enough to represent his excitement.

The next person to respond was Salome Linyu.

He held the sweet potato vine carefully and nodded solemnly.

"Please don't worry, my lord, I will take good care of it."

From Zong Shen's description, Salome Lin Yuguang could know the importance of sweet potatoes to the territory.

With the care of this natural druid, plus the protection of fertile fields, [Totem of Farmland] and [Nature Totem], it is not a problem to grow a sweet potato breeding field.

Even if the territory will face new challenges next, he is sure to keep it.

At this time, senior pharmacist Clarissa Theresa also stepped forward and saluted Zong Shen.

Zong Shen also nodded in return.

"There will be clear results tomorrow regarding your work and workshops."

"The specific Mariel will inform you."

"It's late at night now, everyone should rest early."

After speaking, he raised his chin towards Mariel.

The latter took the initiative to guide Salome Linyu and Clarissa Theresa with a smile to the rear compartment of the weight-bearer mecha, then walked to the Earthshaker chariot, and explained a few words to the goblin engineer. sentence.

At this time, the natural druid Salome Lin Yu noticed the [Childhood Ancient Knowledge Tree] planted on the east side of the central area.

"what?"

"I didn't expect that there is a natural ancient tree in the territory of the adults!"

"Can I go over and take a look?"

Salome Lin Yu turned around and pleaded with Zong Shen.

His eyes flickered, and he looked a little excited.

Zong Shen nodded and agreed readily.

"Of course, but please hurry up."

"It's late at night after all."

"You still have many opportunities to get along with it in the future."

After getting Zong Shen's permission, Salome Lin Yu nodded hastily, and then quickly walked towards the ancient tree of knowledge. This seemingly calm nature druid has a natural passion for plants.

Zong Shen waved to Mariel gently, motioning her to wait for a while.

At this time, Mariel had finished talking with Barenque Ironhand, and sat back in the driver's seat to start the weight-bearer mecha.

Senior Apothecary Clarissa Theresa climbed into the load bearer's cargo hold.

Goblin engineer Barenque Ironhand also got into the cockpit of the chariot and started the chariot, ready to leave the central area with the load bearer mech.

Zong Shen stood with his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Salome Lin Yu walking towards the ancient tree of knowledge.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something and patted his head.

"Wait, Mariel."

"I just exchanged 5,000 sets of cotton and linen clothes. I'll give it to you now."

"It will be distributed to everyone tomorrow, and the excess will be temporarily stored for future use."

Zong Shen explained to Mariel.

As an interior official, Mariel naturally understood the situation of the peasants in the territory.

Clothes are indeed something that the colonists desperately need.

Especially those refugees, all of them were in ragged clothes, which lowered the overall appearance of the territory.

It's just that this problem does not affect normal life after all, so Mariel did not report it in time, but she did not expect Zong Shen to solve this problem first.

After hearing what her lord said, Mariel immediately jumped out of the driver's seat and came to Zong Shen.

"Very good sir."

"After changing into these clothes, the mental outlook of the people will definitely be greatly improved."

"Actually, apart from clothing, there are more and more residents now, we should..."

Mariel plans to take advantage of this time to report some current problems in the territory to Zong Shen.

With the rapid growth of the number of residents, the problems brought about by the big pot of rice have become more and more obvious.

However, Zong Shen stretched out a palm and pressed it down, signaling Mariel to stay calm.

"I understand the problems."

"The uniform distribution of food and tasks will make the territorial people become confused and lack motivation."

"They can't get paid, they can't buy ... and there's no way to buy supplies."

"The territory must have a business cycle and paid jobs in order to have the same vibrancy as normal state cities and villages."

"I told you before that the reform of the freedmen is imperative, but the time has not come."

"So don't worry, everything will be maintained according to the original standard."

Zong Shen said very frankly.

He naturally understood what Mariel wanted to say.

He had already considered these issues, and the more people there were, the more serious the problem would be.

Therefore, Zong Shen firmly believed in his heart that the reform of the freedmen was imperative.

No territory can go to the dark by relying on the cauldron mode.

Although the big pot of rice is simple and rude, it is undoubtedly equivalent to turning all the people into tool people.

Over time, it will lose its vitality.

Relying on the lord and a few internal affairs heroes to control the development of the entire territory in every detail, the further down the road, the lower the administrative efficiency will become.

If you want to develop for a long time, the reform of the free people is an inevitable link.

Although there will be some troubles after the reform, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Completion of the reform of the free people, the formation of a circular business system and a perfect administrative system within the territory.

It must be countless times better than a one-size-fits-all cut like a big pot of rice.

At that time, in addition to cultivating land, free people can also join all walks of life by means of assessment.

A vibrant territory and an efficient bottom-up administrative system can enable the territory to embark on a fast-track development.

Vice versa, rigid territorial citizens and bloated, chaotic, and inefficient administration will become the biggest shackles of territorial development.

Zong Shen knew this very well.

The cauldron strategy is only suitable for the early stage of development, when the number of people is less than a few hundred.

It can be twisted into a single rope and give priority to solving development problems.

However, when the development of the territory reaches a certain level and the number of territorial residents begins to surge, the big pot strategy is no longer applicable.

Territories with different development progress and different backgrounds must be replaced with appropriate strategies according to local conditions, and farming development also has a lot of knowledge.

Although Zong Shen is not a big government official, he has far-reaching consideration and vision due to his advanced development progress.

After listening to what he said, Mariel was relieved and prepared to hand over with peace of mind.

5,000 sets of cotton and linen clothes would occupy 5 storage compartments, and the area is not large. After the process of taking them out and collecting them, Mariel put all the cotton and linen clothes into her storage compartment.

"My lord, I will distribute these clothes with everyone in the morning tomorrow."

Mariel nodded and said.

Zong Shen nodded and added a sentence casually.

"Also, wait for me in the fort hall after the clothes are distributed tomorrow."

"I also have a batch of fertile field blueprints and defensive arrow tower blueprints for you tomorrow morning."

"Come back early to rest for a while."

After speaking, Zong Shen raised his hand and touched Mariel's head.

Mariel smiled sweetly, nodded slightly, but did not say much, and returned directly to the driver's seat of the weight-bearer.

Zong Shen also smiled, and then turned his attention back to the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge in Childhood].

He knew that these tree spirits of the elves were able to communicate with humans.

The same is true for the ancient guardians in the territory.

However, this [ancient tree of knowledge in its infancy] has not taken the initiative to speak since it was planted.

Every time Zong Shen was beside him, his eyes and mouth were tightly closed.

In this regard, although someone Zong saw it, he did not have a deep thought.

In the final analysis, dryads are also a very special species.

Their essence is a kind of spiritual tree, possessing certain wisdom and communication ability.

At the same time have different functions.

But they don't have the "loyalty" indicator on them.

Each tree spirit has its own character and temperament.

This will not affect their functions, but if the tree spirits are willing to communicate, it is also a good thing. After communication, they can often play the role of the tree spirits better.

Just like those ancient guardians, they can give real-time feedback of the perceived situation in a timely manner, and can also accept the defensive instructions issued by Zong Shen, and focus on special targets within the range.

This is an advantage that architectural defense towers do not have.

Now, it's time for nature druid Salome Linyu to contact this "willful" ancient tree of knowledge to see how it responds.

So Zong Shen also has some expectations for the next situation.

Salome Lin's body is strong and his movements are extremely agile.

Soon he ran to the ancient tree of knowledge, stretched out a hand, and stroked the tree.

There was a faint green light on his palm, as if he was trying to sense something.

At this time, the body of the ancient tree of knowledge swayed slightly.

The eyes of the tree body suddenly opened, and he spoke slowly.

"Hello, Druid."

"Are you calling me?"

Its voice was thick and a little dull, and even Zong Shen, who was standing a hundred meters away, could hear it clearly. It seemed that it was not afraid to speak in front of Zong Shen.

Salome Lin Yu received a response, and withdrew his palm a little excitedly.

The ancient tree of knowledge is an important tree spirit of the elves.

It can strengthen elven warriors.

The higher the age, the higher the rank, and the stronger the ability to strengthen.

Only the tree of knowledge borne on the world tree can grow the ancient tree of knowledge.

As a natural druid, Salome Linyu has a good relationship with the elves. He often travels with the druids in the elves, and is no stranger to the ancient tree of knowledge.

"I really didn't expect to see an ancient tree of knowledge here!"

"Please forgive my excitement, my name is Salome Lin Yu, and I am a Druid who has been recognized by the power of nature."

Salome Lin Yu opened his arms and hugged the tree body.

In response, the ancient tree of knowledge also dropped a branch and gently placed it on his shoulder.

"According to the call, we may see more and more partners."

"Inheritance will not be cut off, it's just dusted."

"Salome Lin Yu, may the goddess of nature always favor you"

The ancient tree of knowledge responded to his self-introduction and said something quite meaningful. It gently swayed its branches, and the silver light of the moonlight rippled on the top of his head.

"It's time for me to rest."

"Now that Azshara's land has lost the roots of the World Tree, I need to absorb the power of the moonlight to grow myself."

The ancient tree of knowledge continued to speak, and then closed his eyes directly.

Salome Lin Yu said nothing, lowered his head, and reached out to stroke the tree again.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned around and walked back.

Zong Shen listened to their conversation and thought deeply in his heart.

The ancient tree of knowledge seemed to know something about the time before the end of the era.

But this is also normal. After all, even the ancient trees of knowledge in their infancy have grown for more than a hundred years. They do not have a ignorant growth period like humans or other creatures.

After the tree spirit is planted with awakened spirituality, it will gain part of the inheritance from the world tree.

At the same time have high intelligence and understanding ability.

Older trees of knowledge are usually the wise men of an elven race.

Zong Shen didn't say a word, just watched silently, as if nothing had happened.

Salome Lin Yu quickly returned to his original position, bowed to Zong Shen again, and flexibly jumped behind the cargo hold of the bearer.

At this time, Zong Shen just waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the lord's fortress.

Mariel looked back at the cargo compartment, and after confirming that both of them were seated firmly, she drove the weight-bearer mecha towards the living area to the east.

Behind her, the Earthshaker chariot started, and the tracks rumbled out of the center area along with the weight-bearer mech.

The entire central area regained its tranquility again, and the silvery moonlight sprinkled on the ground to the fullest.

A silver veil was put on for all things in the world to be treated equally.

The beautiful night in another world is nothing like this.

However, Zong Shen didn't have the mood to enjoy the scenery, so he went straight through the tower, walked into the lord's fortress, and sat at the long table in the dining room.

It was delayed for a while just now, and now there is still more than half an hour before the end of the exchange.

He still has a lot to do.

At this time, his points balance is: 607189!

"worry…"

"There are still 600,000 points left in the flower!"

This round of points redemption he no longer has the slightest nostalgia.

The defensive arrow towers that I desperately wanted to exchange before have been exchanged for a lot.

The roulette lottery draw was a ten consecutive draw for each gear, which was the most arrogant lottery draw since his arrival.

There is nothing he wants to exchange in [Resource Materials] and [Auxiliary Items].

After all, after the challenge is over, there will be an exchange mall.

Zong Shen would definitely not use his points for things that are not very necessary just to consume them.

When the next round of exchange mall opens, these points can still be used.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to exchange some more defensive arrow towers.

Because in the next round of the exchange mall, there may not be [architectural drawings] available for exchange.

It's always a good idea to redeem a little more now.

The defensive arrow tower seems to have little sense of existence in the territory, but it is actually the most reliable backing in the territory, whether it is to resist the attack of the lord, or the future attacks of the aborigines and other monsters are very important.

Zong Shen has a very strong premonition in his heart. The stronger the defense in the territory, the more confident it will be to resist any catastrophe and crisis in the future!

No one wants their homeland to be undefended, naked like a naked girl.

Thinking of this, he opened the [Architectural Blueprint] again and selected [Defense Blueprint].

Redeemed again: [Tower of Chaos ×12], [Tower of Magic Arrows ×12], [Tower of Giant Crossbow ×8], [Tower of Moon Blade ×8], [Tower of Thunder ×8], [Tower of Holy Light × 4], [Necro tower × 4].

In addition to the "standard" in these territories, Zong Shen also exchanged the [Armored Arrow Tower] of the orcs. The advantage of this type of arrow tower is not in attack, but in defense!

It is no exaggeration to say that it should be the most "hard" of all the arrow towers.

The sturdiness value is even higher than that of the city walls of the same order, the armor value is also ridiculously high, and there is a unique "array defense" effect. In the case of excess points, you can exchange some to supplement the territory defense tower matrix and improve the matrix. Comprehensive defense capabilities.

The biggest advantage of [Armored Arrow Tower] is probably roughness resistance!

Zong Shen directly exchanged 16 seats to ensure that four seats can be arranged in all four directions.

When the number of adjacent [Armored Arrow Towers] of the same level reaches four, the first-level effect of [Array Defense] can be triggered.

There are seventy-two defensive arrow towers in this batch, all of which he exchanged for Tier 4.

Since there are conditions to exchange for high-level defense towers, Zong Shen does not need to exchange for low-level defense towers.

Anyway, low-level defense towers can often be opened through low-level treasure chests.

After this wave, he consumed another 252,000 points.

Now his points balance becomes 355189.

Zong Shen was not going to spend these 300,000 points now.

The points will be kept and redeemed after the challenge is over.

At that time, if there are exchange classification options for [Civilian Recruitment] and [Special Items], it will be cool.

For Zong Shen, leaving these points can be regarded as attacking and retreating.

After processing the exchange, he closed the exchange option.

All the blueprints of the defensive arrow towers that he exchanged have been automatically stored in the storage compartment, and have been superimposed in the same way.

This time, the redemption of points has come to an end.

The heat wave challenge is also coming to an end, and there are more than ten hours before the last day of the challenge period, and I don’t know if the lord system will be adjusted.

During the two-day crusade against the Balrog Boss, the wool of the lord system was almost bald by him.

With the accumulation in his hands, he played various tricks and gained a lot of points.

Fortunately, the lord system did not relinquish the points he got.

However, Zong Shen always felt that there would definitely be new changes tomorrow.

But only after the announcement comes a clear conclusion.
