Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 564 - 391: Preparations Complete, Legion Assignment

The cook indeed has an extraordinary talent, and it's somewhat underutilized in this village tavern.

After Tiezhu and his team had secured their position.

They could continuously transfer population to the territory under the guise of employment.

Zong Shen patiently listened to Tiezhu's report.

To be honest, he never had much hope for Tiezhu and his team's actions.

He was merely finding something for the low-profile Scout Squad in the territory to do.

It was also a matter of establishing an initial presence in Dinan Village.

After the fall of Odu Village, the closest places to Zong Shen Territory are Dinan Village and Sitanos Village.

These two villages are also important future sources of population for the territory.

Once these two villages are annexed, it would mean at least a population of several thousand.

As for the issue of command, Zong Shen was not worried at all.

He had discerned some of the rules of the Lord System.

There must be enough Heroic Level talents in the village to command the entire village.

And Heroes do not consume command resources. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

If the whole village could indeed be annexed, there would be no need to worry about command issues.

The native heroes of the village would be sufficient to meet the command requirements.

At this moment, Zong Shen arrived at a conclusion after repeated observations.

He also confirmed it through the Guide Module.

As long as he is capable enough, annexing even a Giant City would not be a problem.

Just like when he received the Kobold Tribe.

The remaining Kobolds could be entirely commanded by Dutra,

And it's said that he sacrificed two deputies in the process.

Therefore, there is no faster way of development than annexing entire forces.

Although it is not suitable to act now, it is worth preparing ahead of time.

Lord Mars in Sitanos Village, Tiezhu and his team in Dinan Village.

Zong Shen is waiting for an opportunity.

Based on the many clues he discovered, this opportunity is expected to come soon.

If it doesn't, then the matter of forcefully annexing the native villages can only be considered after the territory develops enough to contend against the Giant City Expedition Army.

After all, forceful annexation is the fastest way to develop.

At the same time, before that, he must try to establish good relations among the Indigenous People.

Develop his own network of connections.

No matter how the future situation changes, native forces will remain in an advantageous position for a long time.

Building good relationships in advance will undoubtedly be very beneficial.

After Zong Shen listened to Tiezhu's briefing and gave a few simple instructions, he hung up the communication.

Next, he drove the Burden-Bearer Mecha with Marie to the stable.

The [Tier Two Stable] has thirty slots and is of a semi-open structure.

The method of using hay, wind-blocking walls, and a Heat Ball ensures heating for the stable.

The construction of the wind-blocking wall here was assigned to Marie.

Meanwhile, he contacted Wenresa, asking her to drive the Burden-Bearer Mecha and bring a few farmers to assist with the construction.

In addition, coordinate in transporting the farmers from the Agricultural and Livestock Area back to the residential area later.

Watching Marie hammer away at the architectural outline, Zong Shen found it somewhat amusing.

At this point, the territory's arrangements were nearly complete.

Currently, Zong Shen had 9 [Magic Energy Thermal Balls] left on hand.

In a closed environment like the Lord's Mansion, four or five Heat Balls were sufficient.

He left Marie to wait in place.

While he drove the Burden-Bearer Mecha to the commercial area.

He moved a [Tier One Market] back and left a [Tier Two Market] there.

He temporarily relocated the [Tier One Market] to the Lord's Courtyard.

In case of extremely harsh weather, if going out is inconvenient, he could utilize a nearby market.

So as to not specifically need to travel to the commercial area.

Currently, he had quite a number of cold-resistant materials on hand.

This included 54 small warm stoves, 50 medium-sized warm stoves, and 6 large warm stoves.

These could be sold at a low price to some of the Legion members.

The rest would be listed on the [Market] for a good price.

Lords were frantically grabbing all sorts of cold-resistant materials.

Those previously listed on the [Market] couldn't meet the nationwide frantic grabbing and demand.

The remaining listings were all at exorbitant prices.

Any that were within an acceptable price for the Lords were completely swept clean.

Zong Shen, however, hadn't made a move yet.

Currently, it was just the prelude to the challenge.

It was far from the time when most Lords would lament and find it difficult.

Zong Shen estimated that the best time to dump cold-resistant materials would be before the second stage began.

When the Lords had tasted the power of the first tier.

By that time, everyone would have experienced the severity of the cold.

And the temporary exchange of points from the first round hadn't yet started.

Faced with the sudden temperature drop in the second stage, even if Zong Shen's prices were higher, the Lords would willingly accept it.

After all, the temperature in the second stage would be 20°C lower than in the first stage.

Zong Shen now prepared to address the issues of the Legion members first.

He opened the [Legion Channel] and used his Legion Commander's authority to tag all the members.

"@Everyone: I will be selling a batch of cold-resistant materials at cost to the Legion. Each person is limited to purchasing 10 pieces of [Brand New Sheepskin Coat], 300 food portions, and one set of either [Small Warm Stove] or [Medium-sized Warm Stove]. Those in need should submit their requirements to Deputy Legion Commander Jiang Yi."

The full message can only be sent once a day.

It will directly display in subtitle form in front of Legion members.

Zong Shen wasn't being stingy; there were already 46 members in the Legion now.

These materials multiplied by 46 weren't a small number.

The materials allocated per person, combined with the so-called differential compensation package issued after the challenge, should be sufficient to meet the Legion members' cold-resistant needs.

With every act of generosity, Zong Shen lost a portion of his wealth.

Moderation was key; excess would be detrimental.

If Zong Shen wasn't profiting from these Legion members, it was already commendable.

This batch of materials would also be a decent aid for them.

Zong Shen sold everything at the procurement cost price, roughly able to recover two to three thousand Dinars.

Bear in mind that current [Market] prices for cold-resistant materials have surged seven to eight times.

In this wave, it equated to distributing over twenty thousand Dinars.

If converted to basic resources, the number would be even more significant.

Zong Shen shook his head, categorizing these as part of the Legion's operational costs.

As a boss, sometimes it was necessary to distribute some wealth when appropriate.

After sending the full message, Zong Shen took out the Communication Crystal to contact Jiang Yi.

He transferred the allocated materials to her via [Market], using a specified sale method.

Once Jiang Yi received the Dinars or equivalent resources, she'd transfer it to Zong Shen.

With chores as intricate as these, Zong Shen was naturally disinclined to handle them personally.

He entrusted Jiang Yi with full responsibility.

Simultaneously, he gifted Jiang Yi a [Magic Energy Thermal Ball], 30 sets of [Double-sided Woolen Cold-Resistant Suit], one set of [Large Warm Stove], and two sets of [Medium-sized Warm Stove].

These materials, in addition to the cold-resistant supplies Jiang Yi had previously gathered, were enough for her and her subjects to survive the Frosty Winter, with some left to sell for profit.

This was also Zong Shen's way of rewarding her.

With the Frosty Winter Challenge confirmed, Jiang Yi's admiration for Zong Shen was as continuous as the rivers flowing.

No one could turn her against Zong Shen.

This was an irresistible opportunity, even one that could change destiny!

After dealing with the internal Legion cold-resistant materials matters and relocating supplies.

It was already past nine in the morning.

Less than three hours remained before the Frosty Winter officially descended.

Zong Shen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

From morning until now, he hadn't stopped once.

Now he could finally take a break and check on his gains in Boss Bang.

Moreover, he still had two treasure chests to open.

One was the Silver Support Treasure Chest received from supporting a Legion member earlier.

The other was the Silver Treasure Chest found in the Evans Manor Mansion.

Furthermore, there was the wealth from Evans and the inheritance from Master Mars's ancestors.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen's interest rose again.

He quickly walked into the Lord's Small Tower.
