Chapter 24: Diao Min, a strange cycle
Ji Chen, who was planning the construction of the territory, saw this system prompt.
It was only a slight pause, and there was not much surprise.
Hints of increased popularity often appear during these days, mostly when he brings food back to his realm.
However, as the food became more and more abundant, the increase in public sentiment gradually decreased every time the food was brought back, and this time thousands of units of food were brought back, but only a few points were added one after another.
This shows that the people are no longer very sensitive to food as a survival factor.
If we want to further improve people's morale, we need to meet their other needs.
Such as clothing, such as shelter, and even luxury goods such as souvenirs.
This instantly gave him a sense of déjà vu playing some simulation management games, and he needed to constantly meet the demanding needs of Diao Min in order to improve his satisfaction and let them continue to work hard.
Otherwise, instead of improving, satisfaction has declined, or even lower than before.
However, there are many differences in those simulation management games, which are generally helpless to those who are not good, so they have to pinch their noses and endure to meet the requirements.
But here, he is the absolute ruler, and if the needs are met and they don't work well, they will be left to mine in the dark for the rest of their lives, mining until they die.
Let them taste what it means to be a lord's love.
In addition to being someone who loves the people like Ziji, he can also be a Class A war criminal.
Ji Chen looked at the drawings on the table, touched his chin and pondered.
In the past few days, through efforts to expand the usable area of the territory [by wantonly destroying trees] (crossed out), the area of vacant land has now increased considerably.
At the suggestion of Willus, the main expansion was in the east, west, and north directions, and the jungle on the side facing the sea was untouched, with only a slight widening of the path to the beach.
This makes it possible to effectively use trees to block the salty sea breeze and extend the life of wooden buildings.
In addition to this, the ship that ran aground near the reef also began to be dismantled.
Although the core keel and mast have been completely damaged, there are still some structures that can be recycled.
Dismantle them and store them properly in preparation for future shipbuilding.
Although Ji Chen knew very well in his heart that a ship that could cross the ocean could not be built in a short period of time.
It takes a lot of time to prepare the materials alone.
The time span of the entire shipbuilding is at least in years.
And with such a small amount of labor in the territory, this time is extended indefinitely.
Not to mention being the One Piece King who crisscrossed the world, being able to get out of this island is the biggest victory.
But then again, can the fish-man or the Naga carry him all the way across the ocean?
The river fishman and the Naga warrior, who were leisurely eating dried sea lizards outside, suddenly shook their bodies and looked left and right in disbelief.
It feels like I'm being targeted.
After preliminarily determining the plan for the construction of the future territory, Ji Chen stretched his waist.
I remembered the kobold hunting party I had just met.
It can be judged by the words they say.
In addition to this kobold tribe on this island, there should also be some human aborigines, and there is a hostile state between the two, so that as soon as the kobold people saw Ji Chen, they thought that he was these aboriginal people.
led to a series of tragic events that followed.
These human natives, he must also find an opportunity to subdue them in the future.
As for those kobolds, the traits of the class that they can't easily surrender mean that they are very unlikely to be subdued.
On the other hand, there is no room for others to snore on the couch.
On an island of this size, he could not accommodate such a race that was naturally hostile to humans.
Some people will ask, why can't he use the class tech tree to change the kobold's class characteristics?
That's a good question!
The kobolds' submission is only superficial submission, and in fact they will not be under the jurisdiction of the territory, and their technology trees do not appear on the class technology tree at all.
That's when you get stuck in a loop.
To make the kobold truly surrender.
- Need to change their class characteristics.
You need to change the class characteristics of the kobolds.
- The kobold needs to be truly submissive.
Such an unsolvable cycle.
It's like the question of whether the chicken lays the egg first, or the egg that lays the chicken.
Subduing the human natives and exterminating the kobold are no longer two things, and he plans to wait until the end of the novice period to start dealing with it.
Retract your thoughts and walk out of the Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, when the people saw him, they immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted him respectfully.
After walking around the territory, Ji Chen, who was addicted to the sound of the lord, was in a good mood.
So he took Alice and walked to the beach, intending to blow the sea breeze.
Take off your boots and walk on the beach, letting the cool waters wash over your feet.
Alice, who was following next to her, was also like a little girl, stepping on the waves like Hetian jade, playing happily in the water.
Unconsciously, the fine waves wet the clothes, and the fabric on the chest became a little transparent, looming, and there was a feeling of astringency.
Ji Chen subconsciously glanced at it a few times.
Random sighed slightly.
Why did Alice appear on the beach before, with only a thick film wrapped all over her body, but she didn't feel astringent.
But now that I'm wearing clothes, it's just slightly wet but astringent.
Why is that?
After a moment, it dawned on him.
Ah, it's not the clothes that are astringent, it's not Alice.
It's my filthy heart!
I'm guilty! I should review!
Ji Chen was mentally active as he walked.
"Shhhh
As I walked, I suddenly felt a pain in the center of my right foot.
The lame girl looked down.
An obtuse metal angle was buried in the sand, on which he had just stepped on.
What's that?
Ji Chen endured the soreness of his feet and tried to check it.
【Small Random Resource Box】
[Effect]: After use, you can obtain 1400 units of one of the resources of wood, stone, fiber, clay, and crude iron
Yes?
It turned out to be a random resource box.
It was probably washed here by the sea, and then buried underneath by the sand.
He just happened to step on it.
Is this luck good or bad?
"Are you alright, sir? Does your foot hurt? ”
Looking back, Ji Chen saw Alice kneeling beside her, letting the seawater soak the hem of her skirt, her eyes like the eyes of the sea were full of worry.
His heart warmed slightly, and he touched her hair, "It's okay, I just stepped on something." ”
"There's a resource box down here, let's dig it out."
Too lazy to go back to the territory to get tools, Ji Chen directly picked up two stones on the beach and dug them up with Alice.
The sand is so soft that you can easily dig out large patches of sand even if you dig with a stone.
With some hard work, the two of them quickly dug out the main part of the resource box.
Turn it on.
"Ding~ You opened the random resource box. Resources are being randomly selected..."
"You get 1400 units of clay."
Clay?
1,400 units of clay is the output of a small clay mine that is full in four days, which is not bad.
This unexpected clay would give him enough resources to do something.
Territory upgrades!
