Chapter 64: Return of the Iron Pillar, Sitano Village

Among the first billions of people sent here, there are still many people who are adaptable and lucky.

This also made him feel a little bit of pressure!

But it’s really just a trace.

Zong Shen touched his chin.

This is his habitual action when thinking.

He didn't know who the first one was, but he directly expanded his territory to level 3.

What a ride!

However, this is also an indirect manifestation of strength.

Although Zong Shen also had the strength to continue expanding, he did not continue.

There is no other reason, I just don’t want the rhythm to be so tight.

There is also a settlement countdown at the bottom of this ranking list.

[Monthly Reward Settlement]

【28d17h58m】

Zong Shen took a quick look and found that there were still rewards available for ranking.

As long as you rank above 10,000 at the monthly settlement, there will be different levels of rewards.

The top three will receive generous rewards.

The third place is [Purple Rare Random Hero Recruitment Scroll] and [Silver Treasure Chest].

The second place is a [Purple Rare Hero Recruitment Scroll] and a [Golden Treasure Chest].

The first place is the [Orange Legendary Hero Recruitment Scroll] and [Golden Treasure Chest].

This time, Zong Shenke felt energetic.

Originally, he had an indifferent attitude towards the ranking, but now it seems that he still has to fight for it.

"Well, before the countdown ends, we have to find an opportunity to expand our territory."

Zong Shen estimated the strength of his territory.

Upgrading from level 0 to level 1 are 10 random hostile targets within a radius of 5 kilometers.

That is a circular area with a diameter of 10 kilometers.

Levels 1 to 2 are a circular area with a diameter of 20 kilometers, attracting 20 hostile targets.

And so on.

Each territory expansion can increase the range radius by 1000 meters.

Level 2 territory is 12.56 million square meters, which is an area of 12.56 square kilometers.

Quite impressive.

"Just these few days, take some time to upgrade the territory."

Zong Shen also has a copy of the [Level 1 Elemental Arrow Tower Drawing] on hand, and plans to organize a few farmers to speed up the construction of it after finishing dinner.

Increase the territory's defense capabilities.

At this time, the sky has completely darkened. The weather is good today. When you look up, you can see the sky full of stars, which is really beautiful.

The farmers finished their day's work and sat together.

While drinking water, chatting.

The soldiers were also sitting in groups of twos and threes. Some were closing their eyes to meditate, some were staring at the night sky in a daze, and some were meditating silently.

It is also a harmonious one.

It was 7:33 in the evening. According to last night's pattern, around 8 o'clock came the weird time when all kinds of beasts appeared.

At this time, on the east side of the territory, a group of shadows walked quickly carrying a bulging package.

All the soldiers opened their eyes and looked over keenly.

The visitor was none other than Tiezhu, who was sent by Zong Shen to explore the east.

I saw Tie Zhu carrying a suitcase on his back, with a round belly and a happy smile on his face.

"Lord Lord!"

"I found an aboriginal village in the east! It's called Citano Village. It's a pretty big village."

Tie Zhu knelt down on one knee, unpacked his backpack, and spread it flat in front of Zong Shen.

The package was full of food.

There were sections of giant sausages, smoked beef jerky, and whole stacks of wheat cakes.

Zong Shen raised his eyebrows when he saw what was in the package.

"Aboriginal village?"

"You won't be so worthless as to steal other people's food, will you?"

he asked doubtfully.

But Tie Zhu laughed.

"Haha, the lord doesn't know something. This Sitano villager is too enthusiastic."

"I just helped an old lady find her lost cat, and she gave me a package full of food."

"The village of Nasitano is very affluent and peaceful. It belongs to a town called Bosbon. The whole village has a population of about three to four thousand people and covers a large area."

"The village raises a large number of cattle and sheep, grows large areas of wheat, and there are many businessmen who come to Bosbon. They purchase the village's products and bring Bosbon's novelties to make profits."

"The village is about fifty or sixty kilometers east of our territory. I'm not sure of the exact distance, but it shouldn't be as far as the mountains from our territory to the north."

"Because of the undulating topography of the grassland, we couldn't easily discover the village."

Tie Zhu began to speak truthfully.

Zong Shen's eyes gradually brightened.

The population issue has always been a factor of concern for him. There are villages nearby, which means that there is a large population reserve.

"Very good, Tie Zhu, your discovery will be of great help to our development!"

Zong Shen turned his hand and took out two [Soldier Strengthening Beads (Green)] and handed them to Tiezhu.

"This is a reward for you!"

Tie Zhu quickly reached out and held two strengthening beads.

With Zong Shen's permission, he chose to use it on the spot.

One adds 1 point of strength and 2 points of agility.

The other one adds 1 point of agility, 1 point of strength, and 1 point of charm.

Tiezhu's attributes are much stronger now than when he first changed his profession.

"By the way, sir, I also discovered the territories of other lords on the east side of the territory."

"But the scale is incomparable to ours. There are only three or four farmers, and even the lord is cutting the trees himself."

"There is a cow outside that territory. It seems that the lord has already been in contact with Sitano Village."

Tie Zhu told another important piece of information.

Zong Shen nodded.

He was not surprised to find the lord. After all, there were 18,000 lords in one area.

As the scope of exploration expands, encounters and contacts are inevitable.

However, in the early stage, Zong Shen did not want to have much interaction with these lords. With his abilities, exploration and combat were the most profitable developments.

If you don’t accumulate advantages in the early stage, wouldn’t it be a waste of great time.

This is also the reason why he doesn't like water [channel].

Except for things like the water [market] where he could gain profits, in the early stages of development, he was too lazy to interact too much with other lords.

"Tie Zhu, you have done well. You will live in the lord's small building tonight. Now go and rest."

"You don't need to hand over this bag of food. It's your personal belongings and you can handle it yourself."

Zong Shen praised Tiezhu.

Today's exploration of Tiezhu pointed out the direction for his next plan.

Tie Zhu bowed, picked up the package, and sat aside to rest.

Zong Shen stood up and came to the level 1 stove.

He just learned a cooking recipe today, which will be just right for everyone's dinner tonight.
