The system’s voice disappeared after it finished speaking.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was a bit puzzled.

“Planting seeds… become a hardworking farmer?”

He was a bit speechless.

He truly found it hard to imagine how a seed could establish itself in this world.

Even if food could be grown, the growth cycle of a plant was relatively long.

After the seven-day novice protection period, in order to survive, he would have to go out and search for resources.

The rules were that there were all sorts of different races and cruel monsters in this world.

Would he kill them by planting a pile of flowers?

Or would he kill them by planting a pile of potatoes?

“No, since it’s goldfinger, it’s definitely not that simple!”

Jiang Chen thought carefully about the system’s voice earlier. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes beginning to shine.

“Giving life to plants, this is a bit like… a game of plants versus zombies.”

Jiang Chen continued to ponder.

“So, I should find a seed as soon as possible now. I still need to wait for the planting to succeed before I know anything.”

At this moment, a sound came from outside.

Jiang Chen followed the direction of the sound and looked over stiffly.

Then, he was greatly frightened at first glance.

A pair of scarlet eyes that were glowing with light suddenly appeared in his field of vision in the fog.

Jiang Chen took a closer look and could faintly see a large wild wolf with pointy ears and abnormally well-developed, unsteadily approaching his territory.

Although he had seen quite a bit of the animal world before.

But the moment he truly faced a wild wolf, Tao ran realized.

He really couldn’t be as calm as he was watching television.

The Wild Wolf noticed Jiang Chen and immediately ran towards him.

Two fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth. Jiang Chen seemed to be able to imagine the scene after he’d been bitten.

There was absolutely no way he’d survive.

But just as he was two meters away from the earth wall.

He crashed into an invisible barrier.

“Bang!”

“…”

The Wild Wolf had started running too fast and had been knocked into a bit of a daze. After half a day, it bared its teeth at Jiang Chen.

“Eh, is this the so-called beginner’s protection period?” Jiang Chen muttered.

“It really looks indestructible.”

“Unfortunately, this barrier can only last for seven days.”

After a moment, Jiang Chen no longer paid attention to the situation outside. The Wild Wolf was at its wits end and left on its own.

“The game system mentioned earlier that the initial materials and personnel were distributed. Where are they?”

Jiang Chen looked around, but his surroundings were incomparably empty. He didn’t find anyone.

“Open the interface.”

Jiang Chen checked the game system again. As expected, there was an email icon in the lower right corner.

He clicked to view it

“Starting personnel: free quota, no consumption required. can recruit 10 ordinary migrant workers and two soldiers, daily consumption of food 12x times.”

“Starting resources: gold coins 10x, wood 100x, stone 100x, and food 100x. Are you sure you want to accept it?”

“Yes!”

Then, Jiang Chen saw that his gold coins had increased from 0 to 10.

Then, he clicked open the territories in the page and entered the administrative center.

People could be recruited in the administrative center.

The key to developing territories was population.

The key to recruiting people was food! Therefore, food was the most important at this stage.

The only soldiers that the administrative center could recruit were civilians and soldiers.

Although civilians didn’t have much fighting power, they were the most versatile types of jobs.

They were skilled in gathering, farming, mining, logging, construction, and other skills.

They were extremely important to the development of the territory.

There were a total of twelve free spots, ten farmers, and two soldiers.

Jiang Chen had recruited them all.

A screen of light appeared on the territory, and then disappeared.

Two figures appeared before his eyes first, their bodies tall and straight.

There was a group of people behind him, exactly ten people, no more, no less.

“Respected Lord, subordinates Carl and Cado greets the Lord!”

One knee on the ground!

The two soldiers spoke in unison:

“Greeting the Lord!”

The ten migrant workers behind them also knelt on the ground in unison.

Jiang Chen nodded unnaturally.

He sized up these people with his gaze.

The two soldiers were dressed in light armor and had sharp iron swords at their waists, looking well-trained.

The migrant workers were all dressed in plain clothes, and their bodies were all quite well-built. It was obvious at a glance that they were skilled workers.

Mm, although they were rewards, they were still quite reliable!

Just as he was about to inquire about their identities, the system interface appeared.

A few lines of small words appeared above each person’s head; “Name: Karl. Occupation: Soldier. Potential: 3 stars. Loyalty: 70”

This was the information of the leading soldier.

Jiang Chen then looked at another soldier.

“Name: Cado. Occupation: Soldier. Potential: 3 stars. Loyalty: 70.”

Following him were the migrant workers and the others.

“The potential of both these soldiers is three stars, not bad. They’re characters that can be nurtured in the future.”

This was because when Jiang Chen turned his head to look at the ten migrant workers, almost all of them had potential of one star, the best being two stars.

“Everyone can grow and evolve through learning. Potential value represents individual talent!”

Jiang Chen understood in his heart.

After that, Jiang Chen thought about it.

“Twelve people, including me, consume thirteen portions of food every day. The hundred portions of food in my backpack can barely last for seven or eight days.”

The most important thing now was to gather food, gather resources, and strengthen the territory.

Jiang Chen then gave orders to the ten migrant workers to gather all the resources in the vicinity.

When the migrant workers received the order, they immediately began to work.

“You’ve obtained a portion of wood.”

“You’ve obtained a portion of wood.”

“You’ve obtained a portion of hay.”

The notifications kept coming in.

The migrant workers ‘work efficiency was quite high.

Jiang Chen had other arrangements for the remaining two soldiers. He began to think about how to search for the seeds.

Jiang Chen had asked the migrant workers to gather resources first because he wanted to see if he could find them.

If there weren’t any, then Jiang Chen could only search outside.

After waiting for half an hour, there was still no system notification that he’d found the seeds.

Jiang Chen didn’t want to wait anymore.

He could only start searching outside now.

After observing, Jiang Chen discovered that he was in a valley.

The fog in the valley was quite thick, and he couldn’t see his direction clearly at the moment. The two armed soldiers were just right for him to go in and explore.

There was a period of newbie protection around the territory now. As long as he didn’t go too deep, he wouldn’t encounter any danger.

“The two of you go out and explore with me. Remember to follow closely and don’t go too deep. If you see any danger, immediately retreat!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

After that, the two soldiers protected Jiang Chen as they slowly walked out of the wall.

He could only see things within five meters of him in the fog. They were all trees, bushes, and the like.

Half an hour had passed.

Jiang Chen hadn’t discovered anything. He could only sense that there seemed to be some creature staring at him from further away. It was very uncomfortable.

Jiang Chen saw a faint light and walked in to take a look.

There was a wooden chest quietly placed in the middle of the grass.

It was actually a treasure chest that was shimmering with a faint light.

At this moment, the system’s voice sounded, “A wooden treasure chest has been detected. Would the host like to open it?”

“Open!”

Jiang Chen chose to open it without hesitation..
