It is obvious to all that the development center of Tianyuan Territory is placed at Hope Village and Longteng Village.
But this does not mean that the neglected ‘Desolate Bone Village’ and ‘Fishman Village’ have been standing still.
After getting on the coolie lizard transport truck and heading to the road southwest of the underground city, Somo could see many hardworking little fishmen lying down and working in the sun.
The history of development in the future ruins has proven that these small fishmen who work hard and are paid extremely low wages are the best labor force.
Now they are doing equally well in Tianyuan territory.
Except for those projects needed by players on the construction route, the rest of the infrastructure tasks are outsourced to the Murloc Village.
Almost all of the widened roads in the territory were built by them, and they were built to be smooth and straight.
As long as cement is poured in and waits for solidification, coupled with guardrail guidance, it will be possible to navigate at a speed of at least 80 kilometers immediately.
"We have hired our fellow fishmen to build a highway directly to Hope Village as soon as possible."
"Not only will more goods be transported by then, but the residents of the shelter will also be able to come to the village for consumption!"
Huangxiong said happily, as if he had already thought of how comfortable the days ahead would be.
But in his words, Sumo keenly captured a term.
Vault dwellers?
Previously, he had been studying how to differentiate the identities of Earth players and the aborigines of Blue Star.
This is to ensure that the two sides can integrate with each other without causing cultural and conceptual differences.
Now I didn’t expect that as time went by, the Blue Star people themselves gave the answer.
Um.
There is indeed a gap between the gophers and the wanderers, and over a long period of time they have even evolved into different classes.
This is a good idea. You can really try calling players "refuge residents" and Blue Star people "territory residents" to distinguish them in the future.
"Barren Bear."
"My subordinates are listening."
"After being in contact with each other for such a long time, you should be able to find some differences between the residents of the shelter and you, right?"
Being stuck within the limits set by the game, Sumo asked cautiously.
"Yes, there are indeed many differences." The honest Huangxiong nodded heavily: "The wanderers may be used to having no fixed place and endless adventures, and their temperaments are always full of instability. But every refugee
However, the residents are very optimistic, they are full of expectations for life, and they are always converting this expectation into the driving force for progress."
"anything else?"
"Well, the residents of the shelter are very knowledgeable. Although they are a little young in terms of survival like the gophers, they know a lot of knowledge and skills in life, as well as technologies in various industries. Yes, Desolate Bones
There are only a dozen people in the village who can write common characters, and the others are 'illiterates' who can only speak but cannot write."
"By the way, the residents of the shelter are also very friendly. They seem to be born with friendliness, which makes people involuntarily relax their vigilance. Especially the residents who buy our goods every time, they always patiently help us calculate the price.
, and he also helped us sell our products, he was like an angel!”
Looking at the nagging Huangxiong, Sumo's face was filled with strange expressions.
He originally just wanted to ask the Blue Star wanderers in the Bone Village what they thought of the changing strength of the earth's players.
As a result, he never expected that he would hear many things from Huang Xiong that he had never understood before.
"Is there anything else? Think more about it and see if there are any individual differences?"
Sumo has already reminded me of this, and if I continue to talk about it, I'm afraid the game will forcibly mute the player.
Huang Xiong frowned and tried to understand this sentence.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Lord, you mean that the residents are progressing faster than us?"
"Yes, don't you feel strange?"
Huang Xiong used "progress speed" to describe the special changes that have occurred in the players.
It seems quite appropriate.
In the eyes of the villagers of Desolate Bone Village who do not know the truth, the residents of the shelter are indeed improving in strength.
Either your physical fitness is getting stronger or your professional abilities are improving by leaps and bounds.
Many people's fragile bodies have never been exercised, and they will make considerable progress after a period of time.
Especially for players who specialize in combat tendencies, the changes that have occurred are even more obvious.
"strangeness?"
There was a hint of confusion on Huang Xiong's face, feeling that he still hadn't understood the deep meaning of the lord's words.
But looking at Sumo's expectant eyes, he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Lord, Huang Xiong doesn't understand what you mean."
"If you are asking about everyone's opinion on the rapid progress of the residents of the shelter? Isn't that normal?"
"Normal?"
Sumo was a little stunned, this was an answer he didn't expect at all.
"Yes, they are smarter than us, their bodies are healthier, and their genes are even purer. It is natural that they will progress quickly. And if this is also strange, then mutants are simply unexplainable alien creatures.
.”
Huang Xiong continued to explain.
Although the wanderers living in remote seaport cities have not been able to come into contact with too many shelter residents, they have heard many stories about "distant places" through the passing ships.
In the long post-war era, human genes have been subjected to several rounds of cruel natural selection, and those who are not suitable have long been eliminated.
Those who can stay in large shelters or gathering places are outstanding talents whose genetic level far exceeds that of ordinary people.
They have excellent genes, strong bodies, smart minds, and will continue to evolve.
Those top powers have even carried out special training for this.
It is said that some children have the same physique as adults when they are just born, and will have abilities beyond mutants as they grow up.
In comparison, although the shelter residents in Tianyuan territory are excellent, they are not so outstanding that they are shocking.
And for these wanderers who join later, the stronger the players show, the happier they are.
After all, this represents the overall strength of the territory. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to support you. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to shrink behind your big brother?
"Okay, it seems I misunderstood something."
Anyway, the information I got from Huang Xiong sounds pretty good.
Now that the Rangers have this awareness, perhaps they can relax some restrictions and no longer isolate players and indigenous people excessively.
Of course, newbies who have just come from outside must be separated first, until these people understand the rules.
Most of the busy day was wasted on the road.
After the metal aging disaster broke out, all capable cars were turned into a pile of scrap metal.
The coolie lizard carriage was not very fast, and it took nearly two hours to drive the seventy kilometers from the underground city to the Bone Village.
But as the fifth floor area appeared in front of him, Sumo only felt that his trip was worthwhile.
Compared with before, the current Barren Bone Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Previously, residents lived in those abandoned buildings and set up various traps on the lower floors to guard against enemies that appeared at any time.
Now that the surrounding area has become safer, there is no reason to continue living there.
Next to the endless farmland, there is already a large construction site in full swing.
The construction waste recovered from the building is processed twice and becomes the best material for building houses.
Those captured prisoners became the best labor force.
"These people were quite lazy at first, but I told them that these repaired houses will be their homes in the future."
"It has become what you see now, Lord."
Huangxiong said with a smile, his face full of pride.
As a wanderer who has never received education, he can do this not because he knows how to manage captives, but because he understands these captured wanderers so well.
When there is no interest at stake, these people cannot be whipped with a whip, they are like stubborn statues.
But as long as they can get benefits, each one will run faster than the other, as if they have a motor under their feet.
"This is the first phase of the village's construction site. We plan to build two hundred houses to accommodate the population."
"In addition, we have also planned the construction site for the second phase and are ready for new people to join us at any time."
After getting off the Lizard Car, Huang Xiong led the way and introduced it in detail.
Pointing to a large piece of land being opened in the distance, he said happily:
"Village Chief Chen discussed with me a few days ago and wanted to move part of the plantation here."
"We can't take on much now, but after the village is completed in a while, we will definitely speed up the process."
Planting, a low-end industry just for survival, has been gradually abandoned by most players in the territory, except for players in the farmer route who need to gain experience.
the reason is simple.
After a bumper harvest, the most basic needs for survival supplies are no longer the top priority for players. The warehouses full of food are enough to supply the territory to withstand most sudden disasters.
At this time, most people would rather choose jobs that pay lower than planting, but can provide them with experience along the way.
This is to ensure that the level and progress can keep up with the large army and not fall out of touch.
Moreover, today's plantation operations have gradually shifted to cluster automation. Players on the farmer route do not want players on other routes to profit from their planting land. Most of the outflow jobs are simple manual labor.
Under such circumstances, Chen Shen decisively chose to transfer the industry after several communications with players on the farmer route.
Turn the plantation, which is not valued by the players, into the desolate bone village, which still depends on the natural environment.
The residents here have no experience, so it would be best to leave simple physical work to them.
And it’s now very convenient to pay.
Previously, the factory that manufactured small commodities in the village had studied many times how to sell the commodities to the Barren Bone Village.
But the results of each study are very realistic.
Expecting homeless people who are scared of poverty to use food to buy goods that improve their quality of life is like killing them.
These people would rather hide the food in a box until it rots than exchange it for daily necessities that are ‘not used but will last forever’.
There was no other way. In the end, the big and small factories had no choice but to join forces and invite "Qiao Yuansheng" to come up with a solution.
Unexpectedly, he found a solution within a few days.
The Blue Star Rangers have a very axial way of thinking.
Materials are materials, labor is labor, and remuneration is another matter.
As long as we change the direction and replace all the labor remuneration paid with these things, they will be so excited that they can't sleep all night!
Ever since.
Players on the farmer route who are responsible for the plantation only need to go to the factory to purchase goods, and then use the goods as payment to successfully complete the recruitment.
In the end, factories can make money without spending any effort to open up markets, players can also hire workers at low prices, and workers feel that they can make a lot of money just by doing a little work.
It’s simply a win-win-win situation, and each party feels like they’ve won!
And as long as the industries of Hope Village and Longteng Village remain at the forefront, low-priced goods can be successfully sold here at high prices.
It can not only make money to continue investing in research and development, but also improve the living environment of Barren Bone Village, and also bring in a large number of laborers.
After a wave of three wins, another three wins with one stone.
"It seems that you, the village chief, have done a good job, and I can continue to put more burdens on you!"
Patting Huang Xiong's shoulder, Sumo raised his fingers at the two oriental faces who looked over curiously.
The latter trotted over excitedly, and when he got close, he quickly wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeves and said enthusiastically:
"Lord, good afternoon!"
"The sound is quite loud." Sumo asked after staring at the two people for a while.
"You shouldn't be the first batch of residents of Barren Bone Village, right?"
"Yes."
The two looked at each other sheepishly, hesitated for a moment and then said honestly.
"We only need to work for two months to obtain resident status."
"What, you don't want to go back to Sunny Harbor Shelter? Do you want to stay?"
The two of them nodded in unison without hesitation.
"No, we just want to live a good life here."
"Me, me too!"
All the prisoners knew very well that if they were returned now, they would definitely be assigned to the battlefield again.
The Rangers are not professional mercenaries, and no one likes endless battles.
Although Barren Bone Village, which is still in its early stages of development, is not as prosperous as Qinggang New City, what does that prosperity have to do with a group of foreign wanderers? It is the gopher man's home, not theirs.
Here in Huanggu Village, there is fragrant rice to eat and clean groundwater to drink.
There is a place to live that is sheltered from the wind and rain, and a job that allows you to earn various daily necessities.
Compared with the past days, this life is like a dream.
They also gradually understood why the old residents of Barren Bone Village were extremely loyal to the lords here.
In a sense, this is their 'home' as long as they want it.
"What are your names?"
"My name is Cui An, and he is Tang Dong!"
"Very good, I'm very satisfied with your answer. Huang Xiong, look back and charge their next meal to my account."
"You guys can open up and have a meal."
Sumo nodded with satisfaction and watched the two people leave happily.
Compared to dealing with Earth players, he still prefers to get along with these Blue Star natives.
At least here, he is no longer the human Su Shen.
He is just a refuge manager in a small place and the lord of a small piece of land.
I feel a lot more relaxed and at ease.
"Yes, lord!"
"Don't worry, whether they are captives or wanderers, I will definitely make them understand what loyalty is."
"As the village chief of Barren Bone Village, I guarantee this in the name of the village chief!"
Huang Xiong nodded respectfully, his tone as decisive as ever!
This chapter has been completed!
