Chapter 577： : The final supplementary redemption

Zong Shen paused, then continued to add.

"Tiezi, you will keep this chariot temporarily, and it is strictly forbidden to leave the living area within three kilometers without my order."

"Salome Linyu, you have to keep this sweet potato vine, and arrange for it to be planted tomorrow."

The first to respond was Barenque Ironhand, who jumped excitedly on the chariot.

"Your orders are my light!"

"I am your most loyal leader!"

Its tone was exuberant, and its voice seemed very sharp, enough to represent his excitement.

The next one who responded was Salome Linyu.

He held the sweet potato vine carefully and nodded solemnly.

"My lord, rest assured, I will take good care of it."

From Zong Shen's description, Salome Lin Yuguang knew the importance of sweet potatoes to the territory.

With the care of this natural druid, coupled with the protection of good fields, [Farmland Tower] and [Nature Totem], it is not a problem to grow a sweet potato breeding field.

Even if the territory is to face new challenges next, he is sure to be able to keep it.

At this time, senior pharmacist Clarissa Theresa also took a step forward and saluted Zong Shen.

Zong Shen also nodded in return respectively.

"As for your work and workshop, there will be clear results tomorrow."

"The specific Mariel will inform you."

"It's late at night, let's rest early."

After speaking, he lifted his chin to Maryl.

The latter took the initiative to guide Salome Linyu and Clarissa Theresa into the rear compartment of the weight-bearer mecha with a smile, and then walked to the side of the Earthshaker chariot, and explained a few words to the goblin engineer. sentence.

At this time, Nature Druid Salome Linyu noticed the [Juvenile Old Tree of Knowledge] planted on the east side of the central area.

"what?"

"Unexpectedly, there is still an old natural tree in the adult's territory!"

"Can I go over and take a look?"

Salome Linyu turned around and pleaded with Zong Shen.

His eyes flickered, and he looked a little excited.

Zong Shen nodded and agreed readily.

"Of course you can, but please hurry up."

"After all, it's already late at night."

"You will have many opportunities to get along with it in the future."

After obtaining Zong Shen's permission, Salome Linyu nodded hurriedly, and then quickly walked towards the ancient tree of knowledge, this seemingly calm natural druid has a passion for plants derived from nature.

Zong Shen gently waved at Mariel, motioning her to wait for a while.

At this time, Mariel had finished speaking with Barenque Ironshou, and sat back in the driving position to start the Heavy Bearer mech.

Senior agronomist Clarissa Theresa climbed into the cargo hold of the load-bearer.

The goblin engineer Barenque Ironhand also got into the cockpit of the chariot and started the chariot, ready to follow the heavy-bearer mecha and leave the central area.

Zong Shen stood with his hands behind, tilted his head slightly, staring at Salome Linyu towards the ancient tree of knowledge.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and patted his head.

"Wait, Mariel."

"I just exchanged 5,000 sets of cotton and linen clothes. Let it be handed to you now."

"It will be distributed to everyone tomorrow, and the surplus will be set aside for the time being."

Zong Shen explained to Maryl.

As an interior officer, Mariel naturally understands the situation of the leading farmers.

Clothing is indeed something that the citizens urgently need.

Especially those refugees, all of them are in ragged state, which lowered the overall appearance of the territory.

It's just that this problem doesn't affect normal life after all, so Maryl did not report in time, but she did not expect Zong Shen to solve this problem first.

After hearing her lord say this, Maryl immediately jumped out of the driver's seat and came to Zong Shen's front.

"It's great, my lord."

"After putting on these clothes, the mental outlook of the leaders will definitely be greatly improved."

"In fact, in addition to clothing, the number of citizens nowadays is increasing. We should..."

Maryl was ready to take advantage of this time to report some current problems in the territory to Zong Shen.

With the rapid growth of the number of citizens, the problems caused by big pot rice have become more and more obvious.

However, Zong Shen stretched out a palm and pressed it down, signalling Mariel to stay safe.

"I understand these problems."

"The uniform distribution of food and tasks will make the leaders become confused and lack motivation."

"They can't get paid, can't buy... and they have no way to buy supplies."

"The territory must establish a commercial internal circulation and paid jobs in order to have the same vitality as a normal state city and village."

"I told you before that the reform of the freedmen is imperative, but the time has not yet arrived."

"So rest assured, everything will be maintained in accordance with the original standards."

Zong Shen said very calmly.

He naturally understood what Mariel wanted to say.

He had considered these problems a long time ago, and the more people there are, the more serious the problem will be.

Therefore, Zong Shen firmly believed that the reform of the free people was imperative.

No territory can get to the black by relying on the big pot meal mode.

Although Daguofan is simple and rude, it is no doubt that it has turned all the leaders into tool people.

If things go on like this, they will always lose their vitality.

Relying on the lord and a few domestic heroes to control the development of the entire territory in every detail, the later, the lower the administrative efficiency will become.

For long-term development, the reform of the freedmen is an inevitable link.

Although there will be some trouble after the reform, the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.

The reform of the freedmen was completed, and a circular business system and a sound administrative system within the territory were formed.

It must be countless times better than a big pot of rice.

At that time, apart from arable land, free citizens can also join all walks of life by means of assessment.

A vibrant territory and an efficient bottom-up administrative system can make the territory embark on a fast track of development.

The reverse is also true. Rigid constituencies and bloated, chaotic, and inefficient administration will become the biggest shackles for territorial development.

Zong Shen knew this truth well.

The big pot meal strategy is only suitable for the early stage of development, when the number of people is less than a few hundred.

It can be twisted into a rope to give priority to solving development problems.

However, when the development of the territories reaches a certain level and the number of citizens begins to increase sharply, the big pot meal strategy is no longer applicable.

Territories with different development schedules and different backgrounds must be replaced with appropriate strategies according to local conditions. Farming development also has a lot of knowledge.

Although Zong Shen is not a bigwig in government affairs, his advanced development progress has given him far-reaching consideration and vision.

After listening to what he said, Mariel was relieved, ready to handover.

5000 sets of cotton and linen clothes also occupy 5 storage compartments, which does not occupy a large area. After the process of taking them out and collecting them, Mariel put all the cotton and linen clothes into her storage compartment.

"My lord, I will distribute these clothes with everyone tomorrow morning."

Mariel nodded and said.

Zong Shen nodded and added casually.

"Also, wait for me in the fortress lobby after the clothes are distributed tomorrow."

"I also have a batch of good field drawings and drawings of defensive arrow towers to be handed over to you tomorrow morning."

"Let's come back soon and rest soon."

After speaking, Zong Shen raised his hand and touched Mariel's head.

Ma Lier smiled sweetly, nodded slightly, but did not say much, and went straight back to the driver's seat of the load-bearer.

Zong Shen also smiled, and then turned his gaze back on the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge in Infancy].

He knew that these tree spirits of the elven race were able to communicate with humans.

The same is true for the ancient guardians in the territory.

However, this [ancient tree of knowledge in its infancy] has not taken the initiative to speak since it was planted.

Every time Zong Shen was next to him, its eyes and mouth were closed tightly.

Although Zong saw this in his eyes, he did not have any deep thoughts.

In the final analysis, the tree spirit is also a very special species.

They are essentially a kind of spiritual trees with a certain amount of wisdom and communication skills.

At the same time, it has different functions.

But they don't have the indicator of "loyalty".

Every tree spirit has its own character and temper.

This will not affect their functions, but if the tree spirit is willing to communicate, then it is also a good thing. After communication, the role of the tree spirit can often be better played.

For example, those ancient guardians can provide real-time feedback on the situation they perceive in time, and they can also accept defensive instructions from Zong Shen to strike at special targets within range.

This is an advantage that architectural towers do not have.

Now, it's just time for the natural druid Salome Linyu to come into contact with this "willful" old tree of knowledge and see how it will respond.

So Zong Shen also has some expectations for the next situation.

Salome Linyu is strong and strong, and his actions are extremely agile.

Soon he ran to the ancient tree of knowledge, stretched out a hand, and stroked the tree.

There was a faint green light on his palm, as if he was trying to induce some kind of induction.

At this time, the body of the ancient knowledge tree shook slightly.

The eyes of the tree body suddenly opened, and slowly said.

"Hello, Druid."

"Are you calling me?"

Its voice was very deep and a little dull, even Zong Shen, who was standing a hundred meters away, could hear it clearly, and it seemed that it did not shy away from speaking in front of Zong Shen.

Salome Linyu got a response, and retracted his palm with excitement.

The ancient tree of knowledge is an important tree spirit of the elves.

It can strengthen the warriors of the elves.

The higher the age, the higher the level, and the stronger the ability to strengthen.

Only the tree of knowledge that grows on the World Tree can plant the ancient tree of knowledge.

As a natural druid, Salome Linyu has a good relationship with the elves. He often walks with the druids of the elves and is no stranger to the ancient tree of knowledge.

"I really didn't expect to see an ancient tree of knowledge here!"

"Please turn out my excitement, my name is Salome Linyu, a druid who has been approved by the force of nature."

Salome Linyu opened his arms and hugged the tree.

In response, the ancient tree of knowledge dropped a branch and draped it gently on his shoulder.

"Following the call, we may see more and more partners."

"Inheritance will not be cut off, it's just being sealed in dust."

"Salomé Linyu, may the goddess of nature admire you forever"

The ancient tree of knowledge responded to his self-introduction, said something quite meaningful, gently swaying the branches, rippling with moonlight silver light, and falling on his head.

"I should rest."

"Now that Azshara's land has lost the roots of the World Tree, I need to absorb the power of Moonlight to strengthen myself."

The Ancient Tree of Knowledge continued, and immediately closed his eyes after speaking.

Salome Lin didn't say much, lowered his head, and stretched out his hand to caress the tree again.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned back and walked back.

Zong Shen listened to their exchange with thoughts in his heart.

The ancient tree of knowledge seems to know something about the end of the era.

But this is also normal. After all, even the young trees of knowledge have grown for more than a hundred years. They don't have a period of ignorant growth like humans or other creatures.

After being planted and awakening spirituality, the tree spirit will gain part of the inheritance from the world tree.

At the same time have high intelligence and understanding ability.

Older trees of knowledge are usually wise men among the elves.

Zong Shen didn't say a word, but just watched silently, as if nothing had happened.

Salome Linyu quickly returned to the original position, bowed to Zongshen again, and then flexibly jumped onto the back of the cargo hold of the load-bearer.

At this time, Zong Shen just waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the lord's fortress.

Maryl looked back at the cargo hold and confirmed that both of them were seated securely, and then drove the weight-bearer mech towards the east living area.

Behind her, the Earthshaker chariot immediately started, and its tracks rumblingly followed the weight-bearer mecha and left the central area.

The entire central area returned to tranquility again, and the silvery white moonlight sprinkled on the ground as much as possible.

Put a silver veil on everything in the world without discrimination.

The beautiful night in another world is nothing more than this.

Zong Shen didn't have any desire to appreciate the scenery. He walked straight through the tower, walked into the lord's fortress, and sat at the long table in the dining room.

There was a delay just now, and now there is more than half an hour before the exchange ends.

He still has a lot to do.

At this time, his points balance is: 607189!

"worry…"

"There are still 600,000 points left in the flower!"

He has no more nostalgia for this round of points redemption.

A lot of defensive arrow towers that I desperately wanted to exchange before have already been exchanged.

The roulette lottery draw is a ten consecutive draw for each stall, which can be called the most arrogant lottery draw since his arrival.

[Resource Materials] and [Auxiliary Items] did not have what he wanted to redeem.

After all, after the challenge is over, there will be a redemption mall.

Zong Shen would definitely not use the points for things that are not needed just for the sake of consuming points.

When the next round of redemption mall opens, these points can still be used.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to exchange some more defensive arrow towers.

Because in the next round of redemption malls, the category options available for redemption will be different. There will be [architectural drawings].

It's always right to redeem a little more now.

The defensive arrow tower seems to have little sense of existence in the territory, but in fact it is the most reliable backing in the territory, whether it is to resist the attack of the lord, or the attacks of the aborigines and other monsters in the future are very important.

Zong Shen had a strong premonition in his heart, the stronger the defense in the territory, the more surely he would resist any catastrophe and crisis in the future!

No one wants his homeland to be undefended, naked like a naked girl.

Thinking of this, he opened the [architectural drawings] again and selected [defense drawings].

Redeemed again: [Chaos Tower×12], [Magic Arrow Tower×12], [Great Crossbow Tower×8], [Moon Blade Tower×8], [Thunder Tower×8], [Holy Light Tower× 4], [Necropolis × 4].

In addition to the "standard equipment" in these territories, Zong Shen also exchanged the [Armored Arrow Tower] of the Orcs. The advantage of this type of arrow tower is not in attack, but in defense!

It is no exaggeration to say that it should be the most "hard" type of arrow tower among all arrow towers.

The firmness value even exceeds that of the same-tier city wall, the armor value is also ridiculously high, and there is a unique "array defense" effect. In the case of surplus points, you can exchange some to supplement the territory defense tower matrix and improve the matrix's performance. Comprehensive defense capabilities.

[Armored Arrow Tower] The biggest advantage is probably its resistance to roughness!

Zong Shen directly exchanged 16 seats to ensure that four seats can be arranged in all four directions.

After the number of adjacent [Armored Arrow Towers] of the same tier reaches four, the first level effect of [Array Defense] can be triggered.

There are 72 defensive arrow towers in this batch, all of which he has exchanged for Tier 4.

Since it is possible to exchange for high-level defensive towers, Zong Shen does not need to exchange for low-level towers.

Anyway, low-level defensive towers can often be opened through low-level treasure chests.

After this wave, he consumed another 252,000 points.

Now his points balance has become 355189.

Zong Shen didn't plan to spend the more than 300,000 points now.

Save this point for redemption after the challenge is over.

At that time, if the redemption classification options of [Leader Recruitment] and [Special Items] appear, it will be awesome.

For Zong Shen to leave these points, UU Reading can also be regarded as an attack and a defensive retreat.

After processing the redemption, he closed the redemption option.

All the defensive arrow tower blueprints he exchanged have been automatically stored in the storage compartment, and the same kind of stacking has been carried out.

This time the redemption of points is also over.

The heat wave challenge is about to come to an end, and there are more than ten hours to enter the challenge period of the last day, and it is not known whether the lord system will challenge it.

In the two days of the Balrog Boss crusade, the fleece of the lord system was almost bald by him.

With the accumulation in his hands, he played various Sao operations and obtained massive points.

Fortunately, the lord system did not recklessly account for the points he obtained.

However, Zong Shen always feels that there will be new changes tomorrow.

But it is only after the announcement that a clear conclusion can be drawn.
