“Holy crap, where did this idiotic rich guy come from?”
Chen Ya had his feet on the table, leaning lazily back in his chair.
At this moment, the desktop chimed, and five gold coins clattered onto it.
At the same time, the territory panel indicated that someone had purchased the items he had listed using gold coins.
That had originally been just something Chen Ya did out of boredom.
He hadn't expected that at this stage, someone would actually be willing to spend gold coins to buy resources.
“Where did that idiot come from?”
“Sigh, I still need to reach Level 4 before I can enable public chat. When will I be able to contact Chen Ping?”
“Maybe Chen Ping and I are even from the same ancestry.”
Chen Ya scratched his beard, muttering to himself.
A huge beast was sprawled in front of the table, rolling its eyes at his words and snorting through its nose.
At this moment, across the four thousand territories in the Chaotic Sea, many people exclaimed in surprise.
They were all Lords who had listed their resources on the trading channel.
Now, without exception, they had all received gold coin income.
Many of them were from commoner backgrounds, and the resources they listed were not even worth a single gold coin.
But the cross-territory trading channel was like this; if you traded with gold coins, the minimum amount was one.
So, almost everyone was flush with cash.
With gold coin income, they could wait for the next patrol trade caravan to arrive and then make purchases.
Everyone was from a commoner background and understood that their talent was not enough to be among the forefront.
Therefore, they didn't care about early-stage development; everything was just about stability.
Meanwhile, Wang Ke, after purchasing the resources, immediately invested them into construction.
At the same time, he also activated his talent.
His talent was called “Vigor Surge,” which could make people in the territory spontaneously generate new stamina.
Not only could their working hours be extended, but their efficiency would also increase.
However, they would fall into a period of weakness afterward.
But the noble Young Master Wang would naturally not care about these things and ordered the butler to supervise.
Wang Ke immediately began to check the latest rankings, selecting some familiar names.
Many of them were students from the Holy Academy in East Seven District.
There were also people from East Six District, Five District, Two District, and Eight District.
It didn't take much time for Wang Ke to circle a dense list of names.
“Heh heh heh, Chen Ping, when the initial assessment comes, just pray you don’t run into me.”
“The Wang family’s network of influence is not something a bumpkin like you can imagine.”
Chen Ping, who was constantly on Wang Ke's mind, was calmly digesting knowledge in the Lord's Hall at this time.
After absorbing knowledge in the Hall of Knowledge, it takes time to fully transform it into strength.
Because in the Hall of Knowledge, the test was about how to remember and roughly understand in a short period.
But after coming out, one must deepen their understanding of the memorized knowledge and master it.
Some knowledge applies to the territory, some to oneself, and some to both.
Currently, his territory could only accommodate four knowledge slots.
To make them effective as quickly as possible, he tried his best to catalyze these four branches of knowledge first.
The resulting change was that magic-wielding professionals finally appeared in Chen Ping’s territory.
Mail, a Mage Apprentice, was someone Chen Ping recruited in the Population Management Hall.
The Population Management Hall could summon population units from dimensional worlds.
From Farmers and commoners to professionals, all could be encountered here.
As long as the hall’s level was high enough, and as long as the price paid was sufficient.
A Level 3 Population Hall could already guarantee one free professional per week.
However, Chen Ping’s limited resources were mainly used to recruit commoners.
Commoners recruited from the Population Management Hall were not like the Farmers obtained as rewards.
Their loyalty would change for various reasons.
But these recruited commoners and Mail were astonished by the territory the day after they arrived.
They saw that it was filled with a strong learning atmosphere.
They saw many Farmers working, and then, while working, they suddenly gained insights into skills or leveled up skills.
Many commoners, after being assigned tasks, also felt that their efforts were rewarded during the work process.
As long as they worked diligently, their understanding of that particular job would deepen, followed by skill enhancement.
For convenience, Chen Ping recruited the lowest-level commoners who had no basic skills.
These people were also at the bottom of society in their original dimensional worlds.
But after just one day here, they all learned basic skills, and some smart ones even learned two.
This made them very excited, and they held great reverence and gratitude for Chen Ping, their Lord.
As for Mail, he was now in charge of the Mysterious Laboratory.
He found that after coming to the territory, his inspiration for magic research exploded, and his progress was very obvious.
"My Lord, My Lord, I have created the magic array that meets your requirements!"
Outside the Lord's Hall, Mail rushed over excitedly.
He shouted loudly towards the Lord's Hall before even getting close.
Chen Ping poked his head out from the second-floor window.
Before he could respond, he saw Milan walking over with her long legs from a distance, a serious expression on her face.
"My Lord, we have discovered the location of the invading force."
Milan's aloof demeanor made Mail involuntarily shut his mouth.
Everyone in the territory now knew that this ice beauty was the second-in-command, and no one dared to defy her.
Chen Ping was delighted to hear this and immediately told both of them to come in.
