"Check the attribute panel of strategist Xi Zhicai!"

After Xi Zhicai recognized Long Chen as his lord, he felt an invisible connection forming between them. The obstructed feeling completely dissipated.

In Long Chen’s mind, he thought, "I want to see how powerful this extraordinary talent, who can be compared to Guo Jia, truly is!"

The attribute panel of Xi Zhicai gradually appeared before Long Chen:

.....

Nowadays, Long Town can accommodate up to fifty thousand residents, and the main task at present is to recruit more population.

With the increasing population, basic infrastructure such as housing for residents is also essential.

All these things require a large amount of resources like wood, stone, and provisions as backing. Otherwise, increasing the population in the territory would be an empty promise.

This made Long Chen somewhat worried. Just upgraded the territory, where would he get so many resources to repair other facilities!

This is also a big concern for Long Chen’s own family business. Other players probably don’t have these worries.

Opening the Yangzhou chat room, it was filled with densely packed messages.

"Who has provisions? After I enthusiastically upgraded my village to level 2, I realized that almost all resources were used for upgrading the village. Now, hundreds of villagers are in dire straits. Can someone please help me out!"

"Hey, you should restart. Upgrading the village so early, aren’t you seeking an early death?"

"Yeah, upgrading a village to level 2 requires a lot of resources. And you also need to build matching houses for the residents, which is another significant expense. You should at least wait a few years before upgrading to level 2 again!"

Seeing this, Long Chen was deeply touched and quickly added, "Yes, you should wait a bit before upgrading. Like me, I just upgraded the village to level 3 town and encountered such trouble."

"So, don’t be in a hurry to upgrade your territory... Wait a minute!!? You said you... upgraded... (confused emoji)"

Long Chen replied frankly, "Yeah, just level 3. It’s a bit slow in upgrading, dragging everyone behind."

"..."

"What the heck! What the heck!! What the heck!!!"

"Important things should be said three times... Not just the person above, even I, Yangzhou’s handsome guy, am stunned!!"

"Real big shot!"

Uh, Long Chen scratched his head feeling quite innocent.

He didn’t seem to say much, but why did it feel like everyone in the chat room was acting weird?

Envy, jealousy, all kinds of weird reactions.

Anyway, better figure out a solution by oneself, self-reliance!

After rummaging through his backpack for a long time, Long Chen finally found a golden mystery gift package.

It was the [Golden Legend Mysterious Gift Package] given by the system after killing the big boss Zhang Jiao. At that time, he was busy accepting rewards and had a pile of other things to deal with.

He actually forgot about it. Well, might as well open and see what’s inside!

"Open the Golden Legend Mysterious Gift Package!"

"Ding! Wood *100,000, Stone *100,000, Iron Ore *50,000."

"Ding! Congratulations! You’ve hit the jackpot! You’ve obtained a quality orange epic weapon - the Zhenji Spear!"

[Zhenji Spear]

Introduction: Zhenji is mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Five tails, one horn; its sound is like striking a rock, its name is Zhen." The Zhen horn is indestructible, piercing through mountains and stones without dulling its edge, hence its name.

Effects: Fierce (activated, increases skill damage by 5%), Brave (activated at level 70, increases attack attribute by 3), Ambush (activated at level 90, increases normal attack damage by 10%).

Advancement Conditions: Outer space Taiyin meteorite iron *1, Qilin essence blood *1 (can be advanced to a golden artifact - Qilin Zhenji Spear)

"Damn, this is amazing!"

"I’ve directly drawn an orange epic weapon that can be advanced to the level of a golden artifact - the Zhenji Spear!"

With this spear in hand, Long Chen felt as if he wasn’t holding a weapon but a ferocious beast!

However, the advancement requirements for this weapon seem quite arduous. What the heck are outer space Taiyin meteorite iron and Qilin essence blood? Never heard of them before.

But the thought of being able to advance it to an artifact filled Long Chen with motivation!

After all, this was a divine weapon, terrifyingly amplifying a warrior’s strength.

Like the Fang Tian Hua Ji in the hands of Lu Bu, which brought a terrifying boost to his combat power!

The dual blades of Liu Bei, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade of Guan Yu, the Serpent Spear of Zhang Fei, and so on, were all high-grade weapons.

Besides obtaining the Zhenji Spear, also acquiring so many basic resources, now housing and accommodation won’t be a worry!

With Long Chen as the magistrate, Long Town now had numerous people expressing their desire to settle there.

Under Long Chen’s instructions, layers of strict guards ensured that only those with clean backgrounds could settle in. Those with minor offenses were examined further and might be allowed in if their situation wasn’t severe.

However, those with severe criminal records were outright rejected!

Long Chen didn’t want these people to disrupt the town’s social order and create obstacles and troubles for maintaining social stability.

As he had just returned to his territory, there were a ton of affairs that Long Chen needed to handle.

At this moment, in Long Chen’s residence...

There were stacks of documents reaching the ceiling, involving various political and miscellaneous matters.

"Why does it feel like I’m back in the days of the college entrance examination, with all these documents resembling stacks of test papers and reference books..."

Long Chen rubbed his forehead in exasperation. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I really feel like going on strike and not doing this!"

Yet, his body was honest, writing at a rapid speed, a testament to his years of being a single man.

Just then, the wooden door of the residence was pushed open, and a familiar fragrance wafted in, instantly calming him, as if all the world’s troubles disappeared.

"My husband, try this Ten Full Nutrition Soup I’ve personally prepared for you." Diao Chan, carrying a crystal-clear porcelain bowl, came in gracefully.

"My lady, you’re here." Long Chen smiled at the stunning beauty before him, Diao Chan, setting aside the pen in his hand.
