My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 404: Food Shortage

The Settlement Leaders present looked at each other in dismay.

A scruffy-bearded Settlement Leader, possibly worried that the silence was too long and would displease Lu Bai, tremblingly raised his hand.

Only after receiving Lu Bai’s permission did he speak: “Big Brother, those alien big shots definitely won’t tell us about something like that…”

Although Lu Bai still had a smiling appearance, this scruffy-bearded Settlement Leader still felt a chill down his back and hurriedly added: “But I know how many so-called Mona Warriors there are in total.”

At the beginning, the existence of Mona Warriors was more like a monument that Mona People actively set up to prove to humanity that following them would bring good days.

Of course, later on, Mona People also discovered that these Mona Warriors were actually quite useful.

After all, the entry threshold was high enough that even among Death Fighters, they were elites among elites.

Pulling away a batch of humanity’s top elites could, in a certain sense, serve to suppress humanity’s development.

Therefore, the Mona Warrior system was retained, and every time a new Mona Warrior was born, it would be notified to each Settlement, basically equivalent to a “server-wide broadcast”.

It could satisfy the Mona Warriors’ need for honor while arousing the civilians in the Settlements’ desire to become Mona Warriors.

It was worth mentioning that no matter how exaggerated the Converts’ Fanaticism of those Mona Warriors was, the Mona People themselves would still be wary of humanity.

So the number of Mona Warriors rarely exceeded three digits year-round.

Once the number of Mona Warriors increased, some would be drawn out and made into Replicants to be reasonably consumed.

Of course, to avoid affecting the majestic image of Mo Na Civilization in these Mona Warriors’ minds, it definitely wouldn’t be stated outright.

“Excluding the three Mona Warriors I took out before, there are a total of seventy-eight Mona Warriors left now?”

Lu Bai nodded thoughtfully.

According to these Settlement Leaders, Mona Warriors were basically fanatics who despised their human identity, making them more troublesome to contact than actual Mona People.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Bai would definitely need to face these Mona People’s cannon fodder.

However, unless they gathered on their own, Lu Bai really had no interest in hunting down these so-called Mona Warriors one by one.

After all, given Earth’s size, with these Mona Warriors stationed around the world, he might walk thousands of kilometers without a chance to see even one Mona Warrior.

Lu Bai waited another hour or so, but to his surprise, it remained calm during this time.

It seemed that losing one Starship had really hurt the Mona People, with no further movement appearing.

Unable to wait for the Mona People, Lu Bai simply bundled up everyone present and took them away.

Riding several still-functional Flying Cars, they returned to the Settlement where Big Biao Ge was originally located.

During this time, Lu Bai was still guarding against possible attacks from the Mona People.

However, there were still none; not to mention any Mona People appearing, even those Mona Warriors that Mona People considered worthless did not appear.

In this situation, even if Lu Bai wanted to find Mona People to learn about the situation, there was no opportunity.

Using [Wind Riding] to reach the top of the Stadium and sit down, it was already sunset.

At this moment, Lu Bai had somewhat figured it out.

Given the Mona People’s emphasis on the Deathmatch System, they definitely wouldn’t tolerate an unexpected existence like Lu Bai.

Yet now, he had peacefully passed nearly half a day, and it looked like this calm would continue.

This was very strange.

The power he had shown was indeed not weak, but far from the degree where Mona People wouldn’t dare to act.

Under the premise of emphasis, yet with no action at all, there seemed to be only one explanation.

“Alright, it seems…”

Lu Bai casually gazed at the starry sky, as if he could see through the incredibly distant distance to the Mona People’s Interstellar Fleet rapidly rushing over: “…the power that Mona People have deployed on Earth is not much.”

“Big Boss.”

Big Biao Ge carried a wooden Structure ladder, climbed to Lu Bai’s position, and carefully inquired: “Big Boss, our food is running a bit low.”

White-robed Mona Person governed Nine Locations Settlements.

Now, the Settlement Leaders of these Nine Locations Settlements were all following Lu Bai, so naturally, any problems had to be brought to him.

In these Settlement Leaders’ eyes, the Mona People’s revenge and judgment could wait a bit.

The pressing matter was to first consider the issue of eating.

Nine Locations Settlements, each with varying population sizes.

But the smallest had over a thousand people, and the total population of the Nine Locations Settlements added up to over twenty thousand, nearly thirty thousand people.

So many mouths waiting to eat, even if they rationed it carefully, the food consumed per meal was quite exaggerated.

Most importantly, since the White-robed Mona Person always provided Grain on time and didn’t allow them to collect or plant food themselves, the civilians in these Settlements had no habit of storing Grain.

Even if they could all instantly switch to being the most professional old farmers right there, with enough Seed, the existing food still wouldn’t last until the Grain matured and was harvested.

Hearing this, Lu Bai also nodded.

He certainly couldn’t conjure so much food out of thin air, but he knew where to get Grain.

He said to Big Biao Ge: “You go summon all those Settlement Leaders, I have something to tell them.”

……

“Big Boss, did I hear that right? You mean to have us migrate all the populations of the Settlements together?”

The scruffy-bearded Settlement Leader had a troubled expression.

After half a day of contact, Lu Bai had learned this guy’s name; everyone generally called him Lao Huang, and the Settlement he controlled was the largest among the Nine Locations Settlements, with nearly ten thousand people.

That said, these Settlement Leaders present weren’t surprised by Lu Bai’s order; if they were in Lu Bai’s position, their first reaction would also be to gather the power they controlled in one place.

But this still involved migrating over ten thousand people, which was undoubtedly a massive project for them, not to mention doing so during a Grain shortage.

Lu Bai smiled: “I’m just having you notify this matter downward; for you all, I have other arrangements.”

His gaze was very gentle, but as it swept over these Settlement Leaders, it scared them into lowering their heads one after another, avoiding his eyes.

“May I ask, Big Boss, what are you taking us to do?” In the end, Big Biao Ge stepped forward to play the Straight Man role.

“Didn’t we say food is lacking? I plan to take you to get some food.”

“Where can we still get so much food?”

Lu Bai looked down at the Ground, as if speaking some nonsense literature.

“Wherever we can get it, we’ll go there to get it.”
