Since Penny is willing to cooperate, Zong Shen will also give her face.
His view of talents is that attitude is greater than ability.
If you have the right attitude, it doesn't matter if your abilities are lacking.
Lord privileges and various power-ups can effectively make up for the lack of ability.
In fact, in terms of growth alone, the subjects may not be much worse than the lords.
When Mariel and Howie first joined the territory, their qualifications were not very high.
But they all continue to grow with the development of their territory.
However, the rate of growth has slowed down recently.
This is enough to show that the growth potential of the subjects is not inferior to that of the lords.
As long as the subjects are placed in the right position, they will learn, adapt, and grow up slowly.
In contrast, citizens with high qualifications and strong abilities just have a higher initial starting point.
Therefore, he is more willing to cultivate obedient subjects.
He didn't continue to hinder Penny's work.
There are many things she needs to coordinate.
The total amount of supplies in the city is absolutely astronomical.
If there were not a full 20 million people to cooperate with her mission, it would not be an easy task to sort out this batch of supplies.
Even with the information assistance provided by Zong Shen, it will still take at least more than twenty hours to complete the task of gathering supplies.
And there will probably be about 15% to 20% omissions.
In the final analysis, time is still too hasty.
If you have ten days and a half to search slowly, you can easily wipe out the huge city.
Now it's a bit of a rush.
Not to mention a huge city covering an extremely large area.
Even the gaps on the sofa in Zongshen's living room before arrival were not so easy to clean.
There are always new surprises every time you open the sofa.
There are countless nooks and crannies in the giant city, but they are much harder to clean than the gaps in the sofa.
Therefore, Zong Shen knew it well and did not expect to be able to 100% clear out all the materials and wealth in the giant city of Lentax.
If you can take away more than 80%, it is considered a great strategic success.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about this issue.
As a lord, you need to learn to worry less about the minutiae and just plan the results well.
He didn't stay there for too long. Compared with the busyness below, he seemed very leisurely.
"Let's go, Hamis."
"Let's go to the Marquis's Castle and have a look."
After gently caressing Nightmare's neck, Zong Shen gave instructions casually.
Khamis snorted and blew out two columns of white smoke that smelled of sulfur.
By the way, he shook his body to shake off the wind and snow that had been stained on his body during this period.
"Dear Master."
Hamis rarely took the initiative to speak.
Zong Shen remained silent and chose to listen attentively.
"As you said, the giant city of Lentax has fallen at your feet."
"In the future, I will carry you to more territories."
Hamis, the Dark Nightmare of Hell, raised his neck and let out a neighing sound.
Both it and Zong Shen communicate through soul fluctuations.
So from the outside it looks like it just suddenly became a little excited.
In fact, he was showing his loyalty to Zong Shen.
Before setting off, he told Khamis that he wanted to conquer the giant city of Lentax.
This proud nightmare from hell thought he was just getting high.
However, he used practical actions to fulfill the promise he made before setting off for the expedition.
This made Khamis, who was full of desire for conquest, particularly excited.
Following a powerful enough master, it will also have the opportunity to travel through the mountains and rivers of the endless continent in the future.
Because of this, it feels sincerely excited.
Correspondingly, Khamis's loyalty to him is also increasing.
From the initial 60 points, it has become 97 points now.
There are only 3 points left to reach the full value of 100 points.
For the ferocious and unruly hell creatures, full loyalty is a rare thing.
So when he heard Hamis's heartfelt admiration, Zong Shen felt a little sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Most importantly, as loyalty grows.
He could feel that Khamis had developed a kind of admiration and dependence on him.
This feeling is extremely important to the mount.
With this as a basis, the mount has transformed from a means of transportation into a companion that can live and die together.
Patting the neck of Nightmare Hamis, Zong Shen smiled and replied with soul fluctuations.
"Just like I said when I recruited you."
"From now on, our goal is to conquer the mainland."
"This huge city under your feet is a stepping stone to a higher level."
"Follow me, be loyal to me, and dedicate yourself to me, and you will receive unimaginable glory."
Now his strength has reached a bottleneck.
And [Hell Dark Nightmare·Hamis] is a legendary level mount.
Destined to stay with him for a while.
He won't be forced to "retire" early because of the huge gap in strength like the Bloodtusk Wild Boar Bajie.
Now Bajie has been strengthened by dragon veins, and his strength and level have been significantly improved.
But it still couldn't keep up with Zong Shen's growth rate.
But it is still a "veteran" under his command, so Zong Shen will naturally not treat him badly.
After conquering the [Bloodtusk Wild Boar King Cha Cha], Bajie took on the important task of propagating the ethnic group.
With the blessing of dragon veins, it is a perfect match with Cha Cha, who has enhanced fertility.
When Zong Shen left the territory, [Bloodfang Wild Boar King Cha Cha] was already pregnant with her first litter.
A few days ago, more than thirty piglets were born.
Cha Cha is as big as a heavy truck, so her fertility is naturally not comparable to that of an ordinary sow.
Giving birth to dozens of babies in one litter is a routine operation.
Moreover, each of these newly born piglets is comparable in size to a wolf dog.
With the fertility of the Bloodtusk Wild Boar, it can grow to a considerable size in minutes when there are no natural predators and sufficient food.
At present, the food of Bloodtusk Wild Boar is also divided into several grades.
These guys are much easier to feed than domestic pigs on earth.
The first old horse lived in a single room in the stable.
No more toil and no more to be ridden.
He eats concentrated feed with egg liquid and beans every day.
Zong Shen has never been stingy with his "old friends".
One day in the future, after Zong Shen breaks through to the demigod level, the Dark Nightmare of Hell will also "retire".
The Nightmare Khamis will also enjoy similar treatment.
He shook his head and stopped worrying about these issues.
He rode on Khamis and pointed condescendingly at the castle located in the core circle.
It’s time again for the long-awaited step of inventorying the treasure trove.
Unlike in the past, he had to fight the autumn wind in person.
This time Penny has moved the treasuries of various famous nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city.
And he only needs to come to the door to check and accept it.
It has to be said that after his status was improved, even the dirty work of robbing and ransacking homes was done for him.
The most exaggerated thing was the mass confiscation of homes.
With a single order from him, the treasuries of the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city were all destroyed.
Of course, now the entire giant city is his prize.
It doesn't matter whether the house is confiscated or not.
It can only be said that he wanted to inspect the spoils as a victor.
The huge city has billions of wealth, half of which are rich merchants and nobles.
The materials sorted out from the city will be piled together first.
Then they are transferred to Jackdaw Valley for secondary classification.
After this process is completed, it will finally be transported to the territory for detailed classification and sorting.
As for the detailed list of supplies, Zong Shen plans to reduce the workload of his domestic heroes and directly use the strategy module to solve the problem.
The inventory summary and coordination of supplies are completed by the strategy module.
Then use the virtual space of [Primary Spiritual Virtual Network] to materialize.
In this way, the territory's domestic heroes can directly transcribe this list into reality.
When organizing materials, just check them directly against the list.
The strategy module has many uses, not only as a translator for unknown texts and languages.
It can also find paths and navigate, track down secrets, inquire about news, dynamically update surrounding intelligence, etc.
In addition, it is also quite convenient for organizing various digitized information.
It turns out that trying to relay information is a big problem.
But now that we have the [Elementary Spiritual Virtual Network], everything is easily solved.
Therefore, this batch of supplies cannot be digested so easily.
The most important thing is that this time Zong Shen not only obtained supplies from the giant city of Lentax.
The Calamity Raven Church also wants to contribute most of its wealth.
With two giant city-level resources in the account, it is not a problem to feed two giant cities out of thin air.
Sure enough, for the lords' development model that focused on getting out of work, plundering was the fastest way to make a fortune.
Although farming is very fulfilling, the cycle is too long.
It's far less immediate than robbing one's family and getting rich.
Just like the Earth's Age of Discovery, through colonization and plunder, the West accumulated enough wealth to squander it for a hundred years, and by the way laid a solid foundation for society.
On the other hand, China has cultivated social wealth with a hoe and a sickle.
Of course, the Endless Continent is the stage for the lords of the New Era.
Within the scope of their capabilities, lords can choose the development model they like.
Peaceful farming or armed robbery are both feasible.
Most of the current peaceful farming factions have good relations with local aboriginal forces.
Only by relying on relatively relaxed external conditions can we farm with peace of mind.
And raiding is the choice of most lords.
The reason is that it is simple and crude and does not require too much effort.
However, if you do this, you will have to bear the consequences of being overturned and killed.
For example, Zong Shen is the type who grasps things with both hands.
He is too lazy to make a choice, he wants them all.
It not only protects development, but also promotes robbery.
The two development models each pursue their own goals and do not seem to conflict with each other.
But judging from the current situation, the speed of farming is indeed not as fast as that of looting.
The rate of reclamation of the agricultural areas originally planned for the territory was far behind the rate of population growth.
We want to feed a population of 20 to 30 million people through farming.
The current agricultural scale of the territory needs to be increased at least fifty times.
But as long as you successfully rob a huge city, you will have enough food and clothing for three to five months.
Conquering a giant city for the first time can inevitably lead to mixed emotions.
Although the process of conquest was not the same as imagined, it did not experience a protracted attack and defense.
There is no siege with numerical superiority.
Rather than saying that Zong Shen conquered the giant city, it would be better to say that he picked peaches in the game between the two forces.
I became a profitable fisherman.
But no matter what, he did have the last laugh.
And now it's time for him to taste the spoils.
Thinking this way, Zong Shen couldn't help but become energetic.
Riding the nightmare Hamis with four hooves burning with fire, he quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Marquis's castle.
The last time I came here was to destroy the magic circle center of the castle.
At that time, I was secretive for fear of exposing my identity.
But now everything is completely different.
He can use his identity as a conqueror to visit this castle openly.
For Zong Shen, this core area that is insurmountable in the eyes of ordinary people is actually a "warehouse" that he can enter and exit at will.
Yes, the Marquis Castle at this time has become a warehouse for Zong Shen to count some of the loot.
Before Khamis even flew close, he could already see mountains of dinar coins piled up one to two hundred meters high.
There are as many as a dozen such exaggerated money mountains.
They are also the most eye-catching presence in the field.
Most of the wealth collected by the nobles and wealthy merchants in the giant city over the years has been piled here.
In the past few days, Zong Shen has become numb to the sight of dinar.
The joy of suddenly getting rich is gone.
Some are just shocks after the accumulation of numbers.
You don’t need to spend too much money, just enough to spend.
But how much is enough?
That varies from person to person.
From the perspective of a family member with a big business, the more dinars, the better.
Without any hesitation, Zong Shen swooped down on Nightmare.
Quickly open the portable storage compartment for quick storage.
The dinar is a metal currency created by the lord system that can travel across the entire continent.
The Lord makes it very easy and convenient to store and preserve it.
Through quick storage, an unlimited number of dinars can be converted into a balance.
These balances can be reversely withdrawn at any time and converted into currencies with different denominations.
In addition to the above characteristics, dinar itself is also a material with stable properties and good magic-guiding effect.
Weapons can be made, engraved with magic patterns, and mixed and smelted into finely forged alloys.
The uses are numerous.
Basically, indigenous forces have the habit of hoarding dinars.
It's not just about the accumulation of wealth.
Rather, it is a commonly used production consumable.
When Zong Shen turned on the quick collection function, an invisible gravitational field seemed to appear in front of him.
Large amounts of dinar currency were swallowed up.
From a distance, it looks like a black hole is rapidly sucking up the money mountain.
Every second, tens of thousands of coins can be swallowed.
This makes Qianshan visible to the naked eye.
And his balance soared like garbled numbers.
It took him several minutes to drain a mountain of money using his cross-border storage privileges.
The balance value directly increased by hundreds of millions.
One million dinars is enough to buy enough food for 200,000 people in the giant city for a month.
The purchasing power of the dinar among the indigenous people is still very strong.
