Chapter 62: New System

"Tribe leader, the tribe members from the Green Grass Tribe are already on their way to the valley."

Seeing that Yi Chen not only showed no anger but rather a look of surprise, the high priest’s anxious heart immediately calmed down.

He spoke up, "I plan to arrange for them all to work at the spirit stone mine, so they can save time for our tribe members in the Flame Mountain Tribe. What do you think?"

"Remember, since the Green Grass Tribe has already joined the Flame Mountain Tribe, they are now tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe."

Yi Chen replied irritably, "Treating them as slaves and sending everyone, regardless of age or gender, to the spirit stone mine? How could you even think of that?"

The high priest looked a bit stunned.

Yi Chen pondered, "Whether it’s the Green Grass Tribe or any tribes we might conquer in the future, remember what I just said."

"In the early stages, you can treat them differently. After all, they shouldn’t enjoy the same treatment as the longtime tribe members right after joining. That would upset the older tribe members."

"But the differences shouldn’t be too significant. Otherwise, it will be hard for the new tribe members to quickly integrate into the Flame Mountain Tribe and it may create barriers."

"You handle the specifics. For example, how to improve their treatment after one year, or how much it should increase after three years, until they are treated exactly the same as the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe."

"Alright, understood!"

The high priest nodded quickly.

"When do you expect the people from the Green Grass Tribe to arrive?" Yi Chen asked.

The high priest hesitated before replying, "With fierce beasts carrying them, it should take about three to four days."

Yi Chen nodded, "Mobilize some manpower and find a way to chop down some trees. Build wooden houses for the Green Grass Tribe’s people in the valley, close to where the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe live."

"Got it!"

The high priest nodded.

Yi Chen continued, "Also, hold a bonfire party to welcome the arrival of the Green Grass Tribe’s people. It will help both tribes’ members get familiar with each other."

"Should we notify the tribe leader to join us then?" the high priest asked.

"No need!" Yi Chen waved his hand.

He had no interest in wasting an entire evening participating in such a communal activity.

He did not need such activities to boost his prestige and influence.

However, it would be nice to go out for a bit.

First, he had been cooped up for too long and needed to adjust his mood and state.

Secondly, he needed to think about other aspects.

With the population of the Flame Mountain Tribe more than doubling, various conflicts and issues would surely arise. They needed to be minimized, and he should lay out a simple plan for the future development of the Flame Mountain Tribe.

Yi Chen stood up and walked out of the door.

The high priest quickly followed.

Squeak!

The Little Gold Ball’s tiny green eyes nearly bulged into the size of yellow beans.

Finally, it could go out and play?

With a joyful leap, it jumped onto Yi Chen’s shoulder, bursting with excitement.

…

"Wow, look at Yi Chen’s attitude. He doesn’t seem to want to show off his current status in front of the people from the Green Grass Tribe. He also doesn’t seem to want to punish them for driving him out of the tribe before?"

In the live room, everyone was puzzled.

"Maybe Yi Chen is being cunning and plans to deal with the people from the Green Grass Tribe slowly later?"

"Impossible! With Yi Chen’s strength, the over a thousand people in the Green Grass Tribe are nothing in front of him. He can handle them however he pleases; there’s no need to wait."

"Even if he wants to take his time with them later, at least he should let the tribe members know his identity, so they live in fear every day."

"Instead of building wooden houses for the Green Grass Tribe and organizing a bonfire party to welcome them, while he himself avoids participation."

"It looks like Yi Chen never thought about this at all. To him, the Green Grass Tribe is merely the first human tribe conquered by the Yanhuang Tribe."

"This is the mark of someone who can achieve great things!"

All the viewers were amazed.

Yi Chen’s unexpected attitude led them to conclude he had the characteristics of a ruthless leader, focused only on benefits, with no regard for past grievances.

They had no idea that Yi Chen was not holding a grudge, nor was he indifferent to past grievances for the sake of personal gain.

It was simply that all those past grievances belonged to his previous life. Although he retained the memories, he did not share the emotional experiences of that life.

Moreover, the memories from that life were filled with loneliness, helplessness, and fear, not hatred.

If it were fierce beasts, whether it was one thousand or eighteen thousand, Yi Chen would not hesitate to wipe them all out for vengeance on behalf of his former self.

However, these were more than eighteen hundred people, a foundation for his future battles. He naturally wouldn’t seek trouble with the Green Grass Tribe, especially when the memories from his past life held no hatred.

As for returning in glory to shock the people of the Green Grass Tribe, that was even more remote from Yi Chen’s thoughts.

As the leader of the Flame Mountain Tribe, revered by the tribe members as if he were a god, he was above everyone, receiving responses from all, controlling the lives and deaths of all.

The small pleasure of showing off was simply not worth mentioning.

"Arrange for some manpower to build a stone house nearby. In the future, assign a guard to be close by."

Looking back at the shaky wooden house, Yi Chen gave a command.

Since the people from the Green Grass Tribe had arrived, they had a bit more manpower, and the valley had grown increasingly crowded.

It was necessary to arrange for a guard.

Building the stone house was to establish his supreme status.

"Understood!"

The high priest quickly noted it down in his mind.

While strolling through the valley, Yi Chen continued to make arrangements:

"From now on, cancel the practice of distributing food based on population. Instead, exchange spirit stones for food."

"Let the tribe members gather spirit stones and then use them to exchange for food?" the high priest asked.

Yi Chen shook his head, "The spirit stone mine belongs to me. In the future, no one has the right to collect them privately."

“…”

The high priest was left confused.

What does this mean?

Food needs to be exchanged for spirit stones, but all the spirit stones belong to the tribe leader.

So, are the tribe members left waiting to starve to death?

Yi Chen continued, "You need to come up with a detailed plan. For instance, those who participate in expanding our territory will earn a certain number of spirit stones every day. Those who achieve merits will receive a certain amount of spirit stones."

"Different strengths, ranks, and contributions will yield different amounts of spirit stones."

"For example, among the four armies, each of the four leaders, including Guli, will receive ten spirit stones each day, while those in the Spirit Release period will earn ten spirit stones every ten days. Those who have not yet broken through to the Spirit Release period will receive ten spirit stones in a month."

"Conversely, those who participate in mining, guarding, and transporting supplies can also earn spirit stones. You need to determine exactly how much is earned and how much food one spirit stone can be exchanged for. Show me the plan before finalizing it."

"Okay!"

The high priest nodded, starting to understand Yi Chen’s ideas.

He felt that Yi Chen was just making things complicated, completely unnecessary.

It seemed like pure waste of time and manpower.

However, he lacked the courage to oppose him.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live room were wide-eyed.

Each one stared at Yi Chen on the screen, feeling an overwhelming urge to bow down in worship.
