()This place is quite different from what I imagined.
Li Huo looked at the scene in front of him and was quite speechless.
Is it the scene similar to space magic that makes Li Huo speechless? Of course not, but the area of this so-called food base is really small, and it is completely different from the scene Li Huo imagined.
Taking the country where Li Huo was originally located on the earth as an example, the output of one acre of land in one season can roughly feed two people. Generally, one acre of land is cultivated for two seasons. In other words, even based on this level of calculation, Roge Camp and its surrounding villages
With a total population of more than 20 million, at least 5 million acres of land are needed to support such a large population.
Calculated in this way, that is to say, even if the food production level of Camp Rogge is similar to that of Li Huo's original country, at least more than 3,300 square kilometers of cultivated land will be needed to barely meet the most basic needs of human food in Camp Rogge. According to this calculation, the cultivated land
The area has exceeded half of the total area of Rogge Camp.
However, Li Huo stayed here for so many days and never saw such a large area of cultivated land.
Therefore, Li Huo always thought that Rogge Camp relied on space magic to store the entire cultivated land in the dimensional space attached to the main plane of the Dark World.
However, this so-called grain base greatly overturned Li Huo's ideas.
No matter how Li Huo calculated, the land surrounded by tall walls would not exceed 100 square kilometers.
"Is this small amount of land enough to support so many people in Rogge Camp? Is this the legendary place where the yield per mu is ten thousand catties and ten crops are harvested a year?"
Li Huo still couldn't help but whisper softly, with a slightly mocking tone in confusion, but the people next to him heard it.
"Haha, young man, I don't know that it is impossible to produce ten thousand catties per mu, but if it is harvested ten times a year, it is too underestimated."
A Druid professional in his thirties next to him smiled and answered Li Huo.
This druid is dressed like a standard old farmer. If it weren't for the fact that professionals have a kind of awareness and can detect each other's profession, approximate level and even equipment, ordinary people would probably think that he has just finished working in the farmland.
farmer.
However, this old druid farmer who looks to be in his forties is not only a professional with a level of over thirty, but also a second-level guard of the Sisters, who is responsible for managing the food base here.
"You underestimate these grains when they are harvested ten times a year? What kind of grain is this? It's too exaggerated!"
Li Huo was really shocked. Isn't this grain just wheat? How could it be harvested more than three times a year? Is it still wheat? Genetic modification cannot reach this level.
"This is just ordinary wheat, but after being jointly transformed by multiple epic-level druids, these wheats have been able to complete the entire growth process in a very short time. They can be harvested once a week, so one day
I really underestimated them when I was very young."
The person in charge of the druid food base explained to Li Huo with a smile, not caring at all that he had revealed some strange information.
Epic level? What is this?
Although Li Huo's doubts about food were resolved, another word that had never appeared in the game made him confused again.
On the way back to Angela's hut from the food base, the two saw a man lying struggling on the roadside.
Here at Rogge Camp, people falling on the road is nothing new.
After all, there is a population of more than 20 million. Except for professionals and mercenaries, it is impossible for other ordinary humans to eat and sleep every day, wake up and eat again.
Although there is a crisis from hell, as if the Sword of Damocles hangs above our heads, the overall mood of the entire human race is one of unity and cooperation.
But everyone has their own ideas. When people get along with each other, various relationships or conflicts will always arise, so any kind of story may happen.
Those who are penniless due to various reasons can only beg on the roadside. What is even more tragic is to collapse miserably on the roadside and die slowly, although this possibility is extremely small.
The Sisters are the rulers of this city, but they do not have enough manpower. In this huge city, the low-level mercenaries who are responsible for managing ordinary things may not be able to do everything.
Senior professionals may be able to monitor the entire city through special means, but their main focus is on preventing sneak attacks by monsters, and they generally ignore the encounters of ordinary people.
However, due to the invasion of hell, there are still a lot of kind people, and these people usually get help from others.
Angela is one of them.
Ever since she paid off her debts and became rich quickly, the soft-hearted Angela would always help these people up when encountering such a situation, and give them some gold coins so that they could at least have a good meal.
But this person is different today. People they met in the past would not refuse Angela's helping hand to them, and would gratefully accept the coins Angela handed them.
But this time when Angela helped the man up, the man was stunned for a moment, and then refused Angela's kindness. He tried his best to stand up even though he was almost out of strength.
According to past practice, no one can refuse to be helped to stand up by a beautiful woman like Angela.
The few gold coins Angela sent over were also blocked by the man, although both of them could easily see the painful look in the man's eyes.
Li Huo suddenly felt that this person was very interesting.
"Brother, do you mind having a casual meal with us?" Li Huo invited.
"Why... why?" It was obvious that he had been hungry for several days and had a weak voice.
"For no reason. Judging from your appearance, you should know a lot about this city. I want to know some news about this city. Since I have met you, I will ask you by the way."
Li Huo spread his hands and shrugged. He found a random reason. He couldn't say that you don't accept Angela's kindness. I can only think of a way to fool you into accepting Angela's help.
.
The man didn't know whether he had no energy to speak or he agreed. Anyway, Li Huo easily helped him up, and the three of them went to the nearest small restaurant to have dinner.
"Hey, brother, you refuse to eat. Could it be that you suspect me of poisoning?"
Seeing how rigid this man was, Li Huo could only pretend to be helpless when facing this strange man who refused to eat even though the food was brought to him.
"This...isn't..."
"Please use it, please use it, you're welcome"
As Li Huo spoke, he picked up the tableware and started eating. Otherwise, this old man might have starved to death while looking at a pile of food in front of him.
Li Huo chatted with this person while eating, and probably got some information about this person.
This man's name is Delance.
Of course, Drance was from Rogge's camp and was a business failure. However, where the money from his previous business came from and his family background, Drance never mentioned it.
In fact, even if he didn't mention Li Huo, he would have guessed that it was just some rich and powerful people who had illegitimate children born from women outside. They were educated and had a deformed self-esteem that could be called aristocratic but not arrogant.
Ways to get recognition from the father's side of any relationship.
From the look in Angela's eyes when she handed it to Li Huo, Li Huo knew that Angela wanted Li Huo to help this poor man.
Although all poor people are hateful, Li Huo will not ignore Angela's kindness because of this. Angela is not the kind of person who is kind and forgetful of herself, and is willing to sacrifice herself needlessly for others.
She will definitely do good deeds.
Judging from the recent contact, this guy is very old-fashioned. If you want to give him money directly, I'm afraid it won't work. You must find a way to make him feel that he is not accepting charity from others.
Li Huo thought for a while and finally came up with a solution.
For a person like this, if you give him money directly and he won't accept it, if you give him money indirectly, so that his self-esteem is respected, he will accept it.
So Li Huo decided to hire him and give him a job for free, so that he would not starve to death because his pride could not be satisfied.
"Delans, I wonder what you want to do now? Is it to find a job to support yourself?"
Li Huo asked tentatively.
"Well, I, I don't know what I can do."
Although Drance has learned a lot of knowledge, he does not know any actual technical work. Even if he finds a job as a street sweeper in this city, he will probably be eliminated because of his incompetence.
"So, I have a job here, would you like to do it?"
Sure enough, it was exactly what Li Huo had guessed. In fact, many freshly graduated college students on earth are like this. They are unwilling to do low-level jobs, unable to do high-level jobs, and have not learned technical work.
"What kind of job is this?"
"Well, it's a rather tedious but not difficult job. Here's the thing, I'm a professional, and I usually get a lot of equipment by killing monsters. If I just sell it in the auction house, I'll actually lose a lot of it.
I want to open an item store selling equipment in this city, but I don’t know the needs of professionals and mercenaries in this city, so I need to do a survey, but I don’t have so much time, so
I hope you can help me conduct a survey to find out the equipment demand here."
"This...is like this..."
"That's it. I can pay you ten gold coins as a signing fee upfront and a monthly salary of ten gold coins. I wonder if I'm interested in doing this job?"
"No, I'm sorry, I really want to do this job, but I can't." Drance refused.
"What should I say? I really want to do it but I can't do it?"
"...I still owe a debt of two hundred gold coins..."
"What? It's only two hundred gold coins? It's simple. I'll lend you two hundred gold coins to repay the debt, and then deduct five gold coins from your monthly salary. In just over a year, you will
How about paying off all the debt you owe me?"
Is there such a good thing? Derance looked at me in disbelief.
"Haha, don't look at me. I'm not an ordinary professional. I can get this small amount of money by just killing a monster. This is the difference between professionals and ordinary people."
Li Huo smiled slightly and told Delance his reasons.
"...I understand, and I will try my best."
"Then it's settled. Here are two hundred gold coins. You can use it to pay off the debt first. You can come to me tomorrow. After I pay you the signing fee, you can officially start work. There is no time limit for the investigation, but what you want
The more detailed the investigation content, the better. If I think your investigation results are quite good, I will give you additional rewards."
Li Huo took out two hundred gold coins from the inventory and handed them over.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the gold coins and never come back?" Drance didn't take the gold coins immediately.
"Haha, where can you go as an ordinary person, unless you are not afraid of being killed by these monsters? If you hide in Rogge's camp, you won't be able to escape when my level is higher in the future, right?
?”
Li Huo spread his hands, looking as if what you said was quite ignorant and ridiculous.
"I understand. I will report to the boss as soon as I pay off my debt." Drance then took the bag containing the gold coins. "Thank you, boss. I don't know where you live, boss. What should I do?"
How to find you."
Li Huo took out paper, pen and ink from the inventory, quickly wrote the address of Angela's cabin on the dining table, handed the white paper to Drance, and then said: "You don't need to thank me, you can explain it to me.
Just get things done. You are my employee and I am your boss. If you do your job well, that is the best reward for me."
Drance said nothing more, just bowed and left immediately.
