Chapter 1217 Inventory Complete, Population Soars

Among these farmers and farm wives, there might be some hidden technical talents.

Today’s selection was just a preliminary one due to limited time.

Over the coming days, there will be second and third rounds of screenings.

The existing handicrafts or technical talents will be screened out and undergo secondary training.

Those farmers with Rare Level talent will also be included in the talent training plan.

In short, this population supplement directly elevated the population level of the Territory by a large margin.

Achieving a major leap from a few thousand people to over ten thousand people.

Population growth has also brought many issues.

These need to be resolved in the coming days.

The new population is greater than the original population, and without proper planning, chaos can easily ensue.

Once this batch of population is thoroughly assimilated, Zong Shen’s Territory will have the foundation of Bang City.

Once the Free People reform begins, every subject can become a part of promoting the Territory’s development, just like cells in a body growing alongside the Territory!

So many people were added overnight, which is why Zong Shen worries the Territory’s Command might not keep up.

After inspecting the quantity of Warriors and farmers, it finally came to the Heroic Level talents.

This time, 149 Heroic Level talents were brought back, fewer than Zong Shen had anticipated!

Among them, 37 with Whiteboard Talent, 59 with Refined Level Talent, 41 with Excellent Level Talent, and 12 with Rare Level Talent.

Of these 149 heroes, the majority have talents leaning towards logistics, internal affairs, trade, and farming—Internal Affairs Heroes.

Only 9 have talents leaning towards combat.

The Command Values of these heroes are inconsistent.

As low as just ten points, and as high as sixty or seventy points.

Altogether, there’s only roughly less than 7000 points of usable Command Value.

It’s far from meeting the Command requirements for this batch of population.

Just the Warriors, including those who are disabled, need 3811 points of Command Value!

Secondly, there are 6217 farmers, equivalent to needing 6217 points of Command Value.

Altogether, 10028 points of Command Value are required to fully meet the Command demand!

Fortunately, the existing Heroic Level talents in the Territory, including Zong Shen, still have some surplus Command Value.

Plus, the addition of Saint Joan this afternoon.

Finally meeting the Command requirements for the entire population!

If it weren’t for opening the Lucky Bag this afternoon and getting the [Orleans Maiden’s Otherworld Recruitment Contract], the Command Value gap today would have been much larger!

Zong Shen still needs to promote more Heroic Level talents.

Most of these newly added heroes are Internal Affairs-type; later, Marie and Hoy will have to select a few keen-minded ones for focused training.

The levels of these heroes are not high, and there is great potential for growth.

After a while, the Command Value can be further improved.

Currently, there’s actually a shortage of Combat Heroes.

Once Internal Affairs Heroes are supplemented, there will be over a hundred in no time.

Enough to establish a Basic City Hall to serve as the administrative system.

He plans to deal with this tomorrow.

As for those nine Combat Heroes, they will be added to the combat units.

Additionally, Zong Shen has leftover [Heroic Badges] and a large amount of souls, which can continue to promote some veteran Warriors.

Once the Command Value is ample, he should first free up his and Joan’s Command Value to oversee the Warriors.

Especially Joan, her skills and corresponding talents determine that she’s suited to command the Gun Soldier squad.

At this point, the harvest from those hundreds of unclaimed territories has been entirely inspected.

Zong Shen closed Marie’s homemade notebook and returned it to her.

From a data perspective alone, once this wave of gains is consumed, the next development goal for the Territory is to build into a Bang City!

Marie put away the notebook, slightly bowed, and then retreated to the rear.

At this moment, Favide stepped forward a few steps, holding the [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)] and saluting Zong Shen.

"Master, a total of [Complete Purple Soul ×57], [Complete Orange Soul ×11] was extracted yesterday."

Favide took out all these souls and handed them to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen waved his hand, now filled with ample souls on hand.

Next, the [Heroic Badge] can be used to upgrade heroes.

The souls can be used to elevate those near-hero levels to Legendary Talent levels.

From this perspective, it isn’t always better to turn into heroes as early as possible.

Zong Shen stored all those souls and [Extraction Bottles].

He then took out the [Lightweight Fire Mage Half Helmet (Purple)] and [Scorching Fire Short Staff (Purple)] opened from the Treasure Chest this afternoon and handed them to Favide.

The half helmet serves as head armor, and the short staff acts as Favide’s dual-wielding secondary weapon.

This scene made Doris behind them somewhat envious.

After all, Favide is truly Lord’s favored one!

Doris bit her lip, feeling a bit sour inside.

Fortunately, after getting along for a period, her Loyalty had long been full.

She had a deep sense of identification with the Territory.

Being a Fire Mage as well, initially due to her talent, she somewhat looked down on Favide.

However, under Zong Shen’s training, Favide’s talent and level improved rapidly.

Zong Shen turned his head to Doris and smiled.

He could understand Doris’s emotions at this moment.

When he prioritized promoting Doris, Korby and Favide had similar feelings.

In reality, from the Lord’s perspective, with a comprehensive view, seeing problems early isn’t necessarily a good thing.

The good stuff often comes later!
