Grandma Wang nodded and continued: "Yes, the new village chief's name is Shi Gang, and he is also the captain of the escort team who helped us deal with the robbers before, Shimen Village. ”

He Guanyun thought well, Shi Gang's reputation in Shimen Village is still very high, and his strength is strong, so he is naturally a candidate for the new village head, and he can help their village deal with robbers, and his character is not good.

"Marry, why do you want to go hunting, and prepare materials, what materials to prepare... Zhang Xiaolong only understood that Shi Gang from Shimen Village was going to marry, but he didn't know why their village needed to prepare things.

"Oh, this is a custom, ordinary people don't need to marry like this, but this is the village chief's marriage, in order to strengthen the connection between the two villages, the village will prepare a gift, and other villages will probably prepare. Guan Yun also knows that almost all nearby villages have this custom, on the one hand, to strengthen the connection, and on the other hand, to show the strength of the village through the quality of gifts.

"If the quality and quantity of the gifts prepared are not enough, they will be looked down upon by other villages, and there will be much less in the distribution of some nearby resources, so it can be regarded as a way to show the strength of the village in disguise. ”

Zhang Xiaolong nodded, this is like making a ranking comparison, it is difficult for a low-ranked village to raise its head, and it is easy to be despised by other villages...

"And it's going to be a meeting of resource allocation contracting in nearby villages, so everyone wants to take advantage of Shimen Village's marriage to enhance the reputation of their village and win more resources. "Guan Yun has obviously experienced this kind of thing a few times, so it's not strange and used to it.

"There are about a dozen of them in our neighborhood, and we usually rank around seventh or eighth, and this year we estimate that it will be about the same. ”

Although Qiyun Village is not a very strong village, it has also developed in recent years by picking herbs and selling sea fish, and it may be improved by about one or two this year.

"Allocate resources, what resources need to be distributed by so many villages?" Zhang Xiaolong was a little incomprehensible, and it was understandable to improve the status of the village, but it was really not clear at all later.

"There is a lot of timber, herbs, stones and arable land around the village, which can be regarded as public resources, and it is necessary to negotiate between the villages to plan the scope of resources to be taken by each village, which is distributed according to the status of the village. ”

In previous years, Qiyun Village allocated the most timber and stone sites, but there were not many of the most valuable medicinal herbs, and a large part of the medicinal herbs they picked were collected by risking their lives into the Hoshino Great Forest, and the Hoshino Great Forest does not belong to the resources that can be allocated, anyone can enter it, but if there is a life to go in, it is not allowed to come back with a life.

Therefore, those resources that belong to the security zone are very sought-after, and they are all a piece of fat coveted by more than a dozen nearby villages, so there is such an unwritten rule.

"Oh, I see, what do you usually give? Zhang Xiaolong nodded, and somewhat understood some of the survival rules of these villages.

"Generally, it is the corpse of some beasts and monsters, the higher the quality, the better, and some rare herbs, not a lot, but there must be, the most important thing is a monument, nominally used to commemorate the friendship of these surrounding villages, in fact, it is used as a boundary monument to divide the resource area, the larger the monument, the better the stone, and the greater the face. Guan Yun thought about it, snapped his fingers and began to count one by one.

"Oh, by the way, those weapons and cheats that have market prices, they are generally not allowed to be sent, and it is strictly forbidden to send money directly, they must be the products of each village that can show the strength of their villages, and those who spend money to buy them are not counted. ”

These Zhang Xiaolong also quickly figured it out, if they send money directly, then everyone will come up with more money in order to have a good ranking, but some of the gains outweigh the losses, so it is most appropriate to use some rare things that can show their strength.

"And if there is no matter of marrying in Shimen Village, the things prepared by each village will generally be supplied to those villages with low rankings, but although it is compensation, the things added up by more than a dozen villages are actually not a lot, and they are not comparable to the resources lost. ”

Although the quality of the things prepared by each village is relatively rare, but the quantity is not large, although the compensation is given to the lowest-ranked villages, it is still not as useful as the resources that are less.

"So, in order for your village to have a good ranking, you have to have something that you can get your hands on, right? After Zhang Xiaolong understood, he knew why Qiyun Village attached so much importance to the matter of marrying in Shimen Village, it turned out to be for the status of the village behind it.

"It's simple, let's just go hunt some high-level demon beasts. Zhang Xiaolong thought about it, the three of them were all cultivators of the Spirit Master Realm, and the three of them joined forces to kill the demon beasts in the early stage of the third order.

"That's no problem, but in order to prevent some villages from secretly spending money to hire people to hunt for the corpses of high-level demon beasts, or directly buy the corpses of demon beasts, other villages have the right to question the source of these things of yours, if the people who hunt these demon beasts are not the people of the village, many resources will be deducted. Guan Yun shook his head and continued to explain.

These can also be understood, although they can't fight for money on the surface, but some villages will consider cheating, and spend money to hire people to get these monsters or directly buy the corpses of some rare monsters.

"Oh, so, I can't make a move, but the two of you can, you two can make a move, and the second-order peak demon beasts are no problem. "Zhang Xiaolong is not from Qiyun Village, so he doesn't make a move, but Guan Yun and Zhou Liang have also reached the Spirit Master Realm Triple Cultivation, and it is no problem to kill the demon beasts at the peak of the second order, and even the early stage of the third order can also be considered.

"Yes, but in the past, the most we have killed in our village are also first-order peak demon beasts, and they were almost killed by that demon beast, we directly killed the first second-order peak demon beasts in the past, they are hard to believe, even if we show our cultivation, we are not convinced, after all, we only have three times, and no one believes that we killed them." ”

Guan Yun frowned, although they were strong in combat, but others didn't know that with the strength of the early stage of the Spirit Master Realm, no one would believe it if they killed a second-order peak demon beast comparable to the late stage of the Spirit Master Realm.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, when the time comes, if they question it, show them a hand again, hehe. Zhou Liang, who had been speechless on the side, also spoke up, and if you don't believe me, I'll show it to you.

Guan Yun, who heard this, also raised the corners of his mouth and gave Zhou Liang a thumbs up: "Hehe, it makes sense... ”
