Chapter 200: Population Surge
All in all, he quickly changed that frustrating default state to manual confirmation.
Having conquered Zhang Peng’s civilization, at least there was the Rocky Mountain Tribe that could mine fluorite, which counted as a mineral resource point to some extent.
But as for Xiao Bingyi’s civilization, he didn’t even know what was in that Giant Wood Tribe, and yet it was automatically conquered so inexplicably?
This was truly frustrating.
He quickly opened his system map.
If those tribes were now all territories under his command, then they should be marked on the system map.
As expected, after a series of drags up, down, left, and right, Luo Ji clearly saw three unfamiliar tribal markers.
The White River Tribe was north of the Black Rock Tribe, and the Giant Wood Tribe was west of his Mirror Tribe.
As for the Rocky Mountain Tribe, it was rather subtle, it was on the other side of his Iron Wall Tribe, with a mountain range separating the two tribes.
They were practically back-to-back, yet unable to see each other’s locations.
Given this, the blame clearly didn’t fall on Luo Jin.
It was a complete unforeseen circumstance.
After explaining the situation to Luo Jin and reassuring him a few words, Luo Ji decisively decided to make another trip to the other two tribes.
Since they had already fallen into his hands, the manpower and resources certainly had to be put to good use.
He couldn’t just leave them there, could he?
Of course, during this journey back and forth, Luo Ji also sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
Judging from this situation, his hidden quest should have been to eliminate a player?
Or perhaps to achieve a conquest?
And then the World Shard effect was triggered.
After understanding the cause and effect, with no more worries in his heart, Luo Ji was clearly in a much better mood.
He took the opportunity to further study his brand new section.
As mentioned before, compared to other development sections, this one was more like a giant skill tree, and ‘Overlord’s Stance’ and ‘Civilization Conqueror’ were more like a passive skill and an active skill.
At the same time, ‘Overlord’s Stance’ seemed to be upgradeable by consuming Conquest Points and Civilization Points, thereby enhancing its effects, while ‘Civilization Conqueror’ did not have an upgrade option.
Furthermore, if he wanted to light up the icons on the second row of the skill tree, he would also need to consume corresponding Conquest Points and Civilization Points.
Currently, lighting up a second-row icon required 100 Conquest Points and 100,000 Civilization Points.
Before lighting them up, he would not be able to view the effects of those second-row icons.
After thoroughly researching this section, Luo Ji pondered for a while in his mind.
Finally, he named this ‘Unnamed’ section ‘Myriad Worlds!’
In the days that followed, Luo Ji was undoubtedly busy.
The combined population of the Giant Wood Tribe, White River Tribe, and Rocky Mountain Tribe caused the population of his civilization to suddenly surge by over 800 people in a short period!
He didn’t even need to think of anything else, just individually interviewing these over 800 people was already enough to be exhausting.
And besides the interviews, there were a whole host of other matters he needed to worry about.
Fortunately, his civilization already had a well-established system.
Otherwise, in the current situation, with a sudden increase of over 800 new people whose loyalty was only 60 or 70, he would probably have spiraled out of control and collapsed on the spot!
Half a month passed, and Luo Ji’s entire mental state had become much more worn out.
The workload was simply too massive.
As the tribal population grew, the novice benefit of personally checking attribute panels and assigning jobs one by one was becoming unfeasible.
Doing so was incredibly exhausting.
But no matter what, he finally managed to arrange these over 800 people.
Leaving aside the workload that nearly exhausted him, the gains were still very considerable.
After all, they were player tribes.
According to the common sense of modern people, those who could make it would not be too bad.
After one round of assignments, every department gained a large number of new recruits and talents, except for a few important departments that individuals with insufficient loyalty couldn’t enter.
As for resources, it went without saying.
Basically, every player would concentrate all usable resources within their nearby area into their own hands.
This made Luo Ji feel as if he was opening treasure chests when checking his resources.
Among them, the most abundant was clearly agricultural resources.
After all, food supply was a major challenge in the early stages.
If one couldn’t solve the food problem, they wouldn’t survive until now.
To overcome this difficulty, as long as they weren’t foolish, everyone would surely think of developing agriculture when conditions permitted.
Therefore, while conquering these two civilizations, Luo Ji decisively obtained a large amount of agricultural resources.
For the current Luo Ji, the quantity of crops was actually not the most important thing, what was most important was that he needed new crops!
Zhang Peng and Xiao Bingyi did not disappoint him.
In the fields of these three tribes, he discovered three new crops he didn’t originally have, corn, tomatoes, and chili peppers.
And one most important crop, probably even more vital than the previous three combined was wheat!
This was one of the important staple foods for the people of the Celestial Dynasty!
It’s worth mentioning here that many people can’t distinguish between wheat and rice.
Simply put, rice refers to paddy rice, while wheat is used to grind into flour for making pasta and other flour-based foods.
Of course, Luo Ji accepted all these agricultural resources without hesitation.
Then, he directly allocated a large plot of land to the Agricultural Department, increasing the number of cultivated fields.
The Mirror Tribe had no more spare land?
Then he might as well develop agriculture in the other tribes, for example, the Black Rock Tribe.
After all, what Luo Ji lacked least now was manpower.
And there happened to be a piece of land suitable for agricultural development near the Black Rock Tribe, after all, the white radishes were discovered in that area before.
And now, as Luo Ji’s second sub-city, it was time to expand its scale.
He couldn’t possibly keep using the Black Rock Tribe solely as a coal mine, could he?
Thus, the Black Rock Tribe’s expansion plan was put on the agenda.
However, compared to the abundant agricultural resources, in terms of military aspects, Luo Ji clearly couldn’t get any significant improvements from those three tribes.
Weapons and equipment like stone axes and stone spears were useless to him.
All things considered, he was the one with the strongest military power among these three players…
“Phew—”
Luo Ji exhaled a long, tired breath.
Having completed his last task, he slumped into his armchair.
After maintaining a state of mental emptiness for a while, he finally recovered, stretched his stiff neck, and left his office, intending to go outside for a bit of fresh air.
The days of overwhelming busyness had finally been endured by him!!
