Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 439 Ears and Melee Engineering Weapons

The countdown to regional resource integration is 75 days.

"Can I touch your ears?"

The elf lady blinked and blocked a demi-human.

That's a demihuman with white ears! Extremely rare species.

"Huh? Eh! That... isn't very good..."

The demihuman who was targeted by her took a step back and covered his ears with his hands.

Just like elves won't let others touch their ears casually, demihumans' ears and tails are very sensitive parts.

Miss Elf may go to some less suitable places to find demi-humans who sell their bodies... Of course, there are none within the control range of the territory...

The demi-humans accepted by the territory are all demi-humans with their own technical abilities, and even demi-humans with a high level of knowledge.

Simply put.

The literacy rate is 90%.

You must know that after Ji Lin's long efforts, the literacy rate in the territory has stabilized at 30%. Most information transmission still relies on word of mouth.

Because the population is growing too fast, there are not enough teachers in the territory. Every time the literacy rate increases, it is suppressed by a new batch of immigrants.

The literacy rate here refers to the ability to read and write to the level of communication, at least to be able to understand the words written on the bulletin board.

A population that cannot even read the words on notice boards and newspapers cannot be considered literate in the territory.

Only after the literacy rate is increased can books play their role among the people of the territory... The chance of technical talents being born among the people of the territory who cannot read is too low.

Let’s get back to the point.

"Well, you can't touch your ears, but I can touch your... tail!"

The elf lady focused her attention on the demi-human in front of her. The tail that was constantly swinging at the back of the clothes attracted her attention.

A wolf, a dog... or a fox?

No matter, they are all canine creatures after all.

"In exchange, I'll give you a lot of money."

Perhaps it was Miss Elf's appearance that finally impressed the demi-human girl. She closed her eyes hesitantly and released her hands to reveal her twitching ears.

"Let me touch it for you..."

————

Looking at the students walking through the temporary trade market not far away, they have not yet started school, and everything on this large empty island is new to them.

"Why, you want to go to school too?"

The person in charge of Kongdao stretched and looked at the trade minister, Jiang Liu, who was holding a piece of grass next to him.

Of course, he is said to be the Minister of Trade, but he is actually responsible for evaluating and selecting point-to-point transport captains... He also leads three transport ships under him to transport between No. 1 Sky Island and No. 3 Sky Island.

Travel back and forth between the demihuman settlement and the sky island base in the territory.

Each takes what he needs.

"I'm thinking about how to maximize the benefits of the next batch of freight supplies."

Jiang Liu, who was in charge of Kongdao, stood up from the major and looked away from the children.

The territory can exchange cheap food and wine for the rare minerals, plants, and some maps they collected.

As well as common rune items for demihumans, Ji Lin found that placing orders with craftsmen in Sky Island World was 50% cheaper than ordering them from Holy City, and the defective rate was also acceptable.

The territory cannot spare so many rune craftsmen, so it can only rely on external forces to improve the living environment.

However, recently, the fine steel cold weapons produced in the territory have gained some reputation in the demihuman settlements, as well as some healing medicines produced in the territory.

"The sales volume of distilled spirits is good. I plan to apply for more alcohol... Is there anything I need at Sky Island Outpost?"

Alcohol has its own market at any time, whether as an anesthetic, a disinfectant, or even a raw material for manufacturing.

Even better, alcohol is consumable.

This means it will always be in demand.

"Oh, Fu Wenhua's heavy hammer works well. Please help us purchase a batch more."

No floating stones were added, but runes were used to strengthen the overall structure of the hammer body, resulting in a pure metal engineering hammer.

It's just some orders for military equipment, with no special technical requirements.

The major gave a virtual squeeze, as if holding the assembled engineering tools in his hand.

The engineering hammer is much more useful than a short sword or a long sword. It can easily break some solid objects blocking the road. The creatures on the empty island will be smashed to pieces with blood and bones.

It can easily break bones or completely smash something apart.

The sharpened engineer shovel can quickly clear the plants blocking the road when opening the road, and can also send away some creatures that jump out. It can be used to cut up monster corpses when necessary.

The engineer's shovel when wielded is more like an axe. No matter it is hit by the sharp side or the blunt side, it will not be good.

They are based on certain versatility, high reliability and low cost.

He also has good melee combat abilities.

Even if these two things are left to rust in a corner, when they are needed, they can still smash or crush the heads of trolls or other things with a hammer.

Of course, they have large-caliber rifles and don't need to take the risk of going up and fighting monsters with heavy blunt instruments.

As for where the combat skills of the Engineer Hammer and Engineer Shovel came from... they all came from the Skitarii.

Those big guys who like to use heavy weapons are not stingy in teaching their combat skills to these soldiers... They are bored staying in the territory, and teaching combat skills is almost the only job they can find interesting.

"Ha, Lao Jiang, you really should go to the exploration team to lead the team for two days... Try out the equipment you brought back."

The major took a small thing like a grape from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, feeling the sweetness spread.

He swung it in vain, even if there was no weapon in his hand, he could feel the force and heaviness of his swing.

It was as if a corrupted wasp was smashed and exploded under the heavy hammer right in front of him.

"Maybe you can still find the feeling of wielding a spear before, ha!"

Jiang Liu shook his head. They used to line up in a spear formation, and the spear could not be wielded by himself without the bonus of blood purification.

Chang Heng, the centurion leading the army, had difficulty wielding it.

When there was no work task, they would sit here, watching the sea of ​​clouds rolling and watching the cloud-dwelling creatures rise and fall.

That was their daily life.

After picking up weapons and putting on armor, they are soldiers.

After putting down weapons and taking off armor, they are just a group of young people in their twenties to thirties.

The major and Jiang Liu are the first group of people who followed Chang Heng to this world. How can they be considered... elders?

The system will not let them get too old. Soldiers are different from technicians. The decline of physical fitness will prevent them from successfully performing their combat missions.

They must serve the territory and the goal of moving forward in their golden time.
