Chen Ping left the Lord's Hall and summoned all the territory's population back.
The fifteen people stood in neat formation before him, each looking very happy.
Their gazes towards Chen Ping were also filled with awe.
Chen Ping checked them one by one and found that they had indeed all improved their attributes and skills.
The five Militia looked much sturdier than before.
Heaven Rewards Diligence, seemingly ordinary, was actually a divine talent!
These ten Farmers and Militia he exchanged for all had maxed individual attributes, yet they could still strengthen their attributes.
What surprised him even more was the skill upgrade.
Skills, besides using skill books, generally require a large amount of repetitive practice to upgrade.
Chen Ping tried to activate his talent and use its power to examine the few people.
“Farmer”
Life 20, Physique 10, Attack 5, Defense 5 (Perform corresponding training ten times to increase one attribute point).
Specialty: Farming Technique LV2 (Perform farming operations five times to upgrade).
“Militia”
Life 25+1, Physique 15+1, Attack 8+1, Defense 8+1 (Train twice to increase one attribute point).
Specialty: Basic Combat Skill LV2 (Perform combat skill training five times to upgrade).
Sure enough, it was even clearer now.
Under the effect of Heaven Rewards Diligence, it clearly showed how many times of work or training were needed to improve how much ability.
It was crystal clear.
Chen Ping felt his heart surge with excitement.
With the Heaven Rewards Diligence talent, it was equivalent to him possessing population units that could grow infinitely!
This was still the lowest-grade Farmer unit; if he were to possess elite units in the future, their growth potential would undoubtedly be even stronger.
"All Farmers, immediately cultivate the barren land until the seeds are completely consumed."
"After cultivation is complete, in addition to tending to the fields, all leisure time should be spent on physical training."
"Militia units, after completing one set of training, rest for half an hour, then continue training; ensure five sets are completed daily!"
"Understood!"
Now that he knew how to improve, Chen Ping naturally wanted to utilize it to the extreme.
In any case, these were population units exchanged from the highest dimension; they were absolutely loyal and would not object.
After assigning tasks, Chen Ping returned to the Lord's Hall and saw that the map had indeed been refreshed.
His Chaos Sea Territory 07 covered an area of 20 square kilometers.
It was mostly barren land, with very few trees and mineral deposits.
In the early stage, he could only diligently plant fodder and then trade it through the weekly patrol trade cart for supplies.
The patrol trade cart was a unique trading mode of the Lord Trial.
It was created to facilitate trade between various territories because they were located in the Chaotic Sea.
Chen Ping was the first in the East Seven District, so he was thoroughly familiar with all knowledge regarding Lords.
Putting other aspects aside, as someone from a great Eastern nation in his previous life, he was absolutely skilled in farming techniques.
As the Farmers' farming techniques upgraded, he would definitely be able to harvest the first batch of fodder before the first patrol trade cart arrived.
The seeds distributed to all Lords were uniform fast-growing wheat seeds, which could be harvested in seven days.
The Wang family and their forces wanted to hinder Chen Ping's progress by monopolizing resources at the start, but they didn't expect Chen Ping to find a breakthrough in this area.
Sunset, moonrise.
All the wheat seeds were planted by the second day.
The Farmers' skills also leveled up to LV3.
Chen Ping left five people to continue tending to the farmland, while he dispatched the other five to search for mineral deposits and cut wood.
These five people were the ones who had explored the territory earlier and possessed exploration skills.
【Exploration Skill: Possesses exceptional sensitivity in searching, potentially discovering hidden resources】
With this skill as a foundation, finding mineral deposits was also quite effective.
Soon, they found a lean iron ore deposit for Chen Ping.
At the same time, the residences for the Farmers and Militia were also completed, so they no longer had to sleep in the wilderness.
Looking at the rows of houses neatly arranged to one side, with vast farmlands in the distance and two yellow oxen.
In front of the farmlands was a cleared flat area, with canvas-covered grain bags placed on it.
One standard unit of grain bag was enough to supply him, the Farmers, and the Militia for one day.
Because of the downgrade, the grain bags contained compressed rice and flour mixed with a little shredded meat.
However, Chen Ping was not one for luxury; this bit of hardship was nothing.
Now, it finally felt a bit like a territory.
He began to plan and design the current territory.
As an excellent architect in his previous life and having ranked first in the Holy Academy in this life, this was not difficult for Chen Ping.
An excellent plan could allow the territory to develop faster.
It would prevent the need for re-demolition later, which would slow down time.
Day after day.
On the fifth day, Chen Ping's wheat fields were harvested, yielding a total of twenty units of wheat.
【Congratulations! You have harvested your first batch of grain.】
【Territory unlocked: Building Planning】
【Available buildings: Mill, Warehouse, Residence, Workshop】
【Detected 20 Residences built, automatic registration complete】
【To upgrade to Level 1 Territory, you need: Mill × 1, Warehouse × 1, Workshop × 1, Residence × 5 (completed), Farmland × 10 (completed), Grain × 10 (completed)】
A series of messages appeared, and Chen Ping stretched.
Very good, the goal is a Level 1 Territory!
