Lord of the People: I Have a Small World

Chapter 179

Every two weeks, the new team, led by the captain, would go to the underground caves outside the city to kill the undead.

Killing undead to gain experience ranks third in importance, the first being practicing teamwork, and the second being actual combat with the undead.

A team can be considered qualified only when teammates cooperate with each other and can safely leave their backs to their teammates when fighting against the undead.

If you don’t even trust your teammates, how can you be united within the team?

The new members of the team are all sophomores and have already started their internship. Their internship only involves watching the battle on the city wall at night. They had to wait until their junior year to have actual combat. Now they can start the actual combat a year in advance.

It is not important to gain experience from killing undead, so going out of the city to kill monsters once will basically only last half a day.

The cost for the entire team to go out of the city to kill monsters is less than the cost for a team to go out of the city frequently to kill monsters last year.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Because the territory is going to issue currency, Su Heng has recently devoted more time to managing the territory.

The territory currency is already in trial production, and the recruited merchants are also setting prices for various items in the territory.

There are so many things involved in issuing currency and paying salaries to the people, and Su Heng also has many other things to think about.

The territory has been established for one year and two months.

It has been almost a year since we recruited our first subject.

A year later, Su Heng's subjects had exceeded two thousand people.

It is important to note that subjects are neither slaves nor free people who can freely change their place of residence, but are somewhere in between.

The relationship between the territory and its people is a bit like the state-owned enterprises of the past, where the life and death, food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people are all taken care of by the enterprise.

Even for the common people, Su Heng did not exploit them excessively.

Citizens without mission targets only need to work eight hours a day. This is purely working time and does not include rest time.

They only needed to work for eight hours and Su Heng would ensure they had enough food and warm clothes.

Citizens with mission objectives, such as farmers working on farms, sometimes need to work overtime, and sometimes don’t have much to do, as long as they complete the mission objectives.

There are no entertainment activities in Su Heng's territory. The people have a lot of free time, and their main entertainment activities are chatting and playing chess by drawing a chessboard on the ground and using stones as chess pieces.

Of course, there are also men and women who get together.

The ratio of male to female recruits is one to one, and they are either young or middle-aged, with no one being particularly old.

The subjects were all the original inhabitants of the Continent of Death. Some of them were killed by the undead, while others died before the undead came to the Continent of Death.

They have now been resurrected and become Su Heng's subjects. They still have some memories of their past lives in their minds, but these memories are relatively faint, which makes it easier for them to start a new life, rather than recalling the past and crying sadly every day.

They may have had families before their death, and now they need to start new families.

Many male and female citizens in the territory have tasted the forbidden fruit, and some female citizens are even pregnant. The earliest pregnant female citizen will give birth in three months.

Pregnant female subjects naturally have difficulty working because of their big bellies, but Su Heng will not punish these male and female subjects.

The population growth of a territory cannot rely solely on recruitment; the birth of newborns also counts as population growth of the territory.

It has only been 11 years since the humans from Blue Star came to the Continent of Death. No one knows whether they will be able to return to Blue Star in the future. They may be killed by the undead, or they may live in the Continent of Death for decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

The life expectancy of the strongest seventh-level player has reached 700 years.

The indigenous people recruited by the lord players are the indigenous people who died in the past on the Death Continent. Many players have speculated that the number of indigenous people on the Death Continent is limited. When too many indigenous people are recruited by the lord players, will there be a situation where there are no more people to recruit in the future?
