Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

After teaching the village chief how to work in the territory, Levi took him to do some characteristic experiments.

For example, diving, the characteristics of water are also effective for the people in the territory. In the territory, they are all considered "biological entities" and will follow the characteristics of mc to a certain extent.

In other words, it is not that they follow the characteristics of mc, but that the characteristics of mc affect them.

After temporarily ending the small characteristic experiment and labor teaching guidance, Levi said to the old village chief:

"If you want to stay here, you must reach the [resident] level within a year. When you become a resident, you can synthesize this tool yourself."

The village chief's expression suddenly became serious.

"You mean, as long as we become residents, we can also use this magic to make tools?"

He directly localized what Levi said according to his own understanding.

"You can say that."

Levi was too lazy to correct it, anyway, it was okay as long as he could understand it.

"By the way, as my subjects, although you will never lack food and shelter, you need to do some work every day."

"Except for children, residents and those below the level need to work at least six hours a day. Oh, you may not know how long six hours is. In most cases, it is roughly equivalent to half a day."

"This, so short?"

The old village chief frowned slightly, not because he had an opinion, but because he was a little bit unconvinced.

"You are too generous..."

This lord not only took in his group of people, provided shelter and food, but was even willing to share his magic.

And the price is just to work--

And it's all this easy work!

This sudden happiness is simply dizzying.

Six hours, according to the lord, is half a day. In the past, let alone half a day, most villagers spent their entire lives working, from sunrise to sunset, including eating and resting, which were basically tied to the workplace. There was no concept of 'working a certain amount of time a day to get off work'.

This kind of territory management method is really the first time I have seen it.

"I know this may be boring, but if you want to stay, then this is necessary."

"When you are promoted to a level above [Resident], you can reduce this time."

Levi continued: "If someone is unwilling to accept it, he can leave at any time, but it should be noted that once he leaves, he will no longer be a [Resident] here and can no longer use anything here."

"No, I will never leave until I die."

The old village chief swore on the spot: "I am willing to join the Free City-State and do my best to contribute to the development of the territory until the end of my life."

"Listen to me first."

Levi pressed his hand.

"I don't force the type of work. You can choose the work you are more interested in for daily labor."

"As your reputation level increases, you can engage in more professions and things to do, and you can also unlock the production of more things, just like me."

Levi synthesized a wooden hoe on the spot for him to demonstrate.

"I think I understand."

The old village chief quickly turned his brain and concluded:

"You mean, as long as we do some simple labor every day, we can gradually learn more magic and do more things with magic?"

"And, we can even use these magics to do what we are interested in?"

"You... yes, that's right, that's probably what you mean."

The old village chief can extract the key points, and he is also a master of localization of words and sentences.

After thinking about it, Levi still didn't use those proprietary words that only he understood to correct them, anyway, they can understand it.

After explaining the key points in the territory again and making sure that the old village chief understood, Levi continued to instruct:

"I have taught you the basics, and then you will tell the villagers what to do."

"This is also considered a contribution to the territory, which can gain you some reputation."

"I understand, sir."

The old village chief accepted the order and left in a hurry. According to Levi's instructions, he gathered the villagers - no, now they should be called the people of the territory. He gathered the people of the territory according to Levi's instructions and explained to them how to work in the territory, how to throw things into the funnel, and how to breed animals, plant trees, collect apples, etc.

After the demonstration, he explained the promotion rules in the territory to the people of the territory.

"The lord has a magical magic that can see how much we have contributed to the territory."

"As long as we contribute enough, we can even use the magic shared by the lord."

"Oh--!"

The people of the territory exclaimed, and it took a while to digest the news.

After figuring out what the old village chief was talking about, some people immediately rolled up their sleeves and prepared to find tools to work hard.

Every contribution you make will be seen clearly, which means that there will never be a situation where your credit is taken away or no one knows about your good deeds.

The lord's eyes are the ruler, he will see everything clearly.

As long as you work hard to make contributions, you can steadily rise, and even learn magic and use it to do what you want - this is not some false promise, but it really exists there.

As long as you meet the specified conditions, you can get it immediately.

A few ambitious people began to stir, while more people breathed a sigh of relief.

For most residents who have experienced wandering and hunger, having a long-term, stable and habitable place is better than anything else. As long as they can make a living and have enough food for themselves and their families, they are already extremely satisfied, and everything else is secondary.

At least temporarily.

Now this part of the residents just want to live a plain life first, and then think about other things.

Half a day's work time is not much, especially compared with the previous days, it is so easy that many residents think that this life is even a bit luxurious, and they can live like this for the rest of their lives.

But this idea will eventually change gradually with the great satisfaction of material life.

When people no longer lack material needs, they will begin to seek spiritual satisfaction.

When life is threatened, people will yearn to live. When they are extremely hungry, they will crave coarse bread or rotten vegetable leaves, but when they have coarse bread and rotten vegetable leaves that they can never finish eating, people will begin to crave better things.

Demands will gradually increase.

As residents live in the territory for a longer time, they will gradually begin to have higher aspirations after they have recovered a little.

By then, even if there is no compulsory labor demand, there will be a large number of people vying to take the initiative to work and create the value they want.

The old village chief's explanation ended quickly. It must be said that he was worthy of being a village chief. He was the material for this job.

Unlike the corrupt mayor of Changhu Town who rose to power by inciting people's hearts, this village chief was elected by most people and believed to have the ability to lead everyone.

Although Levi didn't say it, he still took the initiative to assume the responsibility of supervision to prevent the villagers in his village from doing anything stupid.

But in fact, even without his supervision, these residents would not dare to do anything sneaky.

It was really because the reputation of their lord was too loud, so loud that even if they set up tents in the wild outside the city wall, no orcs or bandits dared to approach.

Originally, this legendary reputation was enough to suppress all abnormal thoughts. Now people also knew that this lord had a magic that could see how much everyone had contributed to the territory, which made the residents more spontaneous to maintain order.

But at this moment, Levi didn't know that the enthusiasm shown by the residents for this visible progress would far exceed his imagination.

When the residents collected the tools in an orderly manner and started basic production work, Levi found an open space in the city, poured magma around the open space, and then placed a fire dragon egg in the middle.

After feeling the heat energy of the surrounding magma, the dragon egg immediately entered the hatching state.

To be honest, Levi really couldn't tell which module this egg was from. When this egg suddenly appeared in the backpack, the synthesis table directly unlocked the things of two modules, one was ice and fire, and the other was dragon knight.

For this dragon egg and the dragon inside, Levi guessed that it should be a compatible existence, and its characteristics can be used by two modules.

The dragon egg occasionally flashed, showing its vitality, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of anything breaking out of the shell.

It seems that it will not hatch for a while.

Levi shook his head, went to the warehouse to get some more solid fireproof building materials, and directly surrounded the place tightly.

In this way, even if the dragon egg suddenly hatched when he didn't know, it wouldn't cause any trouble.

Ding, ding, ding!

It didn't take long for Levi to leave the incubation pool. The first thing he did was to go to the blacksmith shop and cast the knockback enchantment on the ancient elven sword.

After thinking about it, he changed its name.

In fact, Levi had already decided on its name when he killed through Raven Ridge and got the title of [October Nemesis].

[Nemesis]

Its meaning is: Anyone who is an enemy of Levi and this sword will experience the feeling of facing his own nemesis.

Levi pulled out the sword and carefully looked at the new inscription representing his name on it.

From now on, this is also a famous sword.

It has killed thousands of orcs and wargs, including two orc leaders.

In the future, even if Levi doesn't show up, just throwing this sword into the pile of orcs may scare them so much that they dare not approach.

To Orc, this is a weapon with a fear aura. When Orc sees it, he will feel panic from the bottom of his heart, just like the free people seeing Sauron's evil mace covered with blood.

After enchanting the sword with knockback and changing its name, Levi looked at another material in his backpack.

Dragon scale.

The armor value of the protective gear made of this thing is six points higher than that of nether alloy, but there is a problem that it does not provide knockback resistance.

In other words, if he replaces the nether alloy equipment for these six points of armor, he will most likely be knocked back or even directly knocked away when he is attacked with greater power in the future.

Just like Azog's hammer, or the big slaps of ogres and behemoths, the impact force is really not something that ordinary people can withstand. If it weren't for the knockback resistance of the nether alloy armor, Levi would have been knocked away several times in Lonely Mountain.

After repeated consideration, Levi finally chose to wear the nether alloy armor for the time being. Judging from the current combat intensity, it is completely sufficient.

If you really want to change the armor, you can wait for the fire dragon to hatch and forge dragon steel.

The armor value of the protective gear made by that thing is a full 34 points. When the dragon steel armor is worn, even Sauron may not be able to knock it down.

If you want to break the defense, you probably have to wear the ring in its prime.

Shaking his head, Levi walked to the gate of hell, and suddenly remembered something, so he immediately opened the map and started looking.

The straight-line distance between Roadside Castle and Valley City is about 1,100 kilometers.

This is a distance that makes people bald.

To go back and forth between these two territories, even if you are traveling in hell, you have to walk 140 kilometers.

If you still want to pursue the ultimate efficiency, to build a hell highway from Roadside Castle to Valley City, even if you only build a one-square-wide road, you will need at least 140,000 blue ice.

Nine ordinary ice can be synthesized into one floating ice, and nine floating ice can be synthesized into one blue ice.

That is to say, it takes 81 ordinary ice blocks to synthesize one blue ice block, so it takes 11.34 million ordinary ice blocks to build this road, which can fill more than 3,000 large boxes.

Levi thought about the blue ice stock he had accumulated throughout the winter last year.

It was really not much, not even one-tenth of the highway could be built.

After all, he was distracted by doing other things that winter and did not guard the ice rink from morning to night.

Huh——

Take a breath and leave the warehouse. Levi feels that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run.

But speaking of it, the current climate is actually quite cold, approaching subzero, and it is obvious that there is only one snowfall before winter begins.

Soon it will be time to start collecting ice again.

It's not necessary to use blue ice for high-speed passages. Floating ice can also be used, but it's slower.

The maximum speed of rowing on blue ice is 72m/s, and on floating ice it is 40m/s. It can also be used, but it is faster than a horse anyway.

Compared with Blue Ice, although the latter is a bit slower, it saves nine times the materials, and it can be collected in a whole winter of hard work.

Just as Levi was thinking about these things and walking towards the castle, suddenly, he saw a person standing at the door of the castle.

It was the old village chief.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"That's right, Lord Lord, we do have some problems..."

The old village chief looked a little embarrassed and said: "I don't mean to disturb you, but everyone really wants to know something, so I entrusted me to ask."

"fine."

Levi smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask. Don't be afraid. I'm not a troll."

Hearing this, the old village chief felt relieved a little, and he told the townspeople's problems one by one.

However, the content made Levi feel funny.

"Someone asked if they could take the extra magic seeds back to the yard of their house and plant them."

After asking, the old village chief added: "If this request is offensive, I would like to ask for your forgiveness. Most of us are farmers. We have experienced hunger and wandering, but we just quickly saw things that can be grown." I want to plant some in my own residence, and I have absolutely no other ideas..."

"fine."

Levi replied: "Just take it and plant it. The seeds here can mature once every three days, and several pumpkins can grow in a day. You can plant as many as you want, just do it."

"But although there is a lot of food, I still want to remind you not to waste it."

"Three...three days?"

When the old village chief heard this word, his mouth opened wide.

Levi had never told him about this before, but now that he heard it, he was completely stunned.

I thought that the magic crops here were only resistant to cold and lodging and could be planted in winter, but I didn't expect that they would grow so fast.

"I, I understand, we will not waste this food, thank you for your generosity."

After receiving Levi's response, the old village chief seemed quite excited.

With his thoughts moving, Levi suddenly asked again: "What's your name?"

"My name is Vader, sir."

"Okay, Wade, I see that you are very popular among the residents and are their original village chief. So, from today on, you will be the representative of this community."

"What the so-called representatives have to do is collect the residents' opinions and then gather them together to give me feedback."

"But you have to remember what the word 'representative' means, it just means - you can give feedback on behalf of the residents."

"I understand, I will do this well, sir."

Old Wade bowed and seemed slightly excited.

He had heard of similar 'representative' positions before, and it was quite understandable. He just summarized the problems for the residents and then passed on messages.

He has been doing this kind of thing before, but he usually has to be the one to propose a solution since he is the village chief after all.

The village chief is there to solve problems for the villagers.

Looking at Old Wade's excited look, Levi suddenly thought of another question.

Now the village refugees represented by Wade have experienced normal life. They will be excited when they see the crops here and know that this place is different from the outside world, but their descendants are not necessarily the same.

This leads to problems in education and life.

Levi didn't want some people to think that the crops outside were ripe every three days.

Children who are spoiled like this will suffer a lot when they go out in the future, so a certain amount of common sense education is still needed.

This matter was also told to Wade. After Levi's reminder, the old village chief was obviously aware of the problem. He said that he would work with everyone to find a way to educate the children on common sense so that people in the future could It can also distinguish the difference between inside and outside the territory to avoid this possible situation.

After discussing the issue of common sense education for the residents, Old Weed continued to raise questions from the residents, but most of them were trivial matters similar to the question of 'can I bring seeds back to my home for planting?'

Some people even asked if they could work all day long, because they liked curling up.

Levi's reply was that it would speed up his process of becoming an official resident.

Wade went back with Levi's response.

As for Levi, he returned to the castle, rested for a while, looked at the sky and the territory.

At this moment, he no longer needs to collect the basic resources in the territory himself. The residents are carrying out their work in an orderly manner, constantly throwing the collected materials into the funnel to replenish the inventory.

These basic materials will become the guarantee for the construction of various large-scale projects in the future.
