Chapter 219: Chapter 215, City Conversion (Seeking Recommendations, Subscriptions…)_1

Fu Lei’s city was not extraordinarily outstanding, yet it was properly arranged.

Camps and cottages were available, and the entire city was filled with a faint smell of fish.

In front of the warehouse, one could see all kinds of fish of different sizes lying on the drying racks.

“You have a rich yield of fish here,” Fang Hao remarked as he toured around. “There is a freshwater lake near the territory, and I happened to obtain the blueprint for a fishing field. Hence, I feed my subordinates by running this fishing field,” Fu Lei said with an embarrassed smile.

He had thought his development plan was indeed a good one.

But compared to Fang Hao, he felt ashamed with the way he had run his things.

11 Show me that lake,” saidFangHao.

“Oh, ok.”

They just entered the city and then walked out again within a short time. After walking for about twenty minutes, they saw a large lake.

Fu Lei had arranged for many militiamen and farmers here to operate the fishing field.

“Boss, this is the freshwater lake. This part is the fishing field that I fenced off. Nearby villagers also come here to fish, but we don’t interfere with each other and occasionally exchange some goods,” Fu Lei explained.

“How’s the yield?”

“We can catch more than ten fish per day. But the fishing methods here are quite rudimentary, nowhere near the efficiency of modern fishing.” Fu Lei answered.

In fact, this yield almost balances out hunting.

Hunting provides more meat, but carries a greater risk, whereas fishing is less risky. Even after setting up a fishing field, one could only catch a little more than ten fish.

“Is this enough for you and your soldiers to eat?”

“I didn’t recruit a lot of people, so I’ve always been calculating carefully. But we’re all sick of eating fish now, so we transport some to Pruell City to sell and exchange for other goods.”

“Okay, I got it. Let’s go to your place to talk.”

The group returned to Fu Lei’s lord’s mansion.

This was Fu Lei’s territory, and they were a bit nervous.

“Fu Lei,” Fang Hao called him quietly.

“Ah, boss, you say.”

“Do you understand what it means to become an affiliated territory?” Fang Hao reminded.

“I understand. When Yao Yao came, I did a bit of research to understand what it means,” Fu Lei replied quickly.

He knew about the Devour Book and the affiliated territory information.

The Book of Lords had automatically popped up these messages during Xin Yao

Yao’s visit.

After a brief study, he understood what it meant.

“Being my affiliated territory means this city will no longer belong to you. Although I’ll still letyou manage it, you’ll only have the power to govern. Even if I askyou to go to another city one day, you must obey the command,” Fang Hao reiterated.

“Boss, I understand. After today’s incident, I realized my own shortcomings. I am willing to become your affiliated territory and listen to your arrangement. I also hope you can protect us,” said Fu Lei sincerely.

His and Xin Yao Yao’s development plans were rather conservative.

They simply assigned people to develop fishing fields. They had developed military aspects to some extent, but after finishing the compulsory initial tasks, they had slowed down the recruitment of soldiers.

It wasn’t until today’s incident did he realize the importance of military power. When Xin Yao Yao was captured, he could do nothing. He doubted he could even enter the city to rescue her with his soldiers.

If it weren’t for Fang Hao’s daringness, not only would Xin Yao Yao be in danger, but he would also regret it for the rest of his life.

“Good, now that you understand, I agree to make you my affiliated territory.” Fu Lei handed over his Book of Lords, which prompted a message indicating it could be devoured.

[Book of Lords (Level 2) can be devoured.]

The Book of Lords in Fu Lei’s hands turned into a beam of light and merged into Fang Hao’s Book of Lords.

[Successful Devour, Your Book of Lords is currently Level 5, Upgrade requirement is 1/10.]

He had previously devoured until Level 4 with 4/6 of the experience. Now, after devouring a Level 2 Book of Lords, his level was raised to 5.

[The level of the Book of Lords has reached Level 5, Marching Speed +4%, Resource Gathering +5%, Territory Conversion +3 (per month), Daily Regional Channel Messages +50, Open Territory Channel.]

[Territory Conversion]: The Original Township and the Affiliated Townships can be converted to each other.

[(The Original Township converted to the Affiliated Townships will lose the original functions and attributes, but the city buildings and soldiers will be retained.)]

(The Affiliated Township converted to the Original Township will not have the upgrade function, but the city buildings and soldiers will be retained.) [Territory Channel]: The Territory Governor can freely speak in this channel, and Lords have administrative rights.

Upon upgrading to level 5, so many new features appeared.

It’s also easy to understand the concept of territory conversion.

That is, the local city can be converted into a transmigrator city, and vice versa. Which one has the advantage would need to be tested later, but one thing is certain: transmigrators can use the Book of Lords to exchange information.

This is an advantage that the natives do not possess.

[Unlocked Blueprints: Fishing Field Construction Blueprint, Small Fishing Boat Production Blueprint.]

He unlocked two blueprints that he did not have before.

[You have obtained decision-making power over Fu Lei’s territory.]

[Occupation/Abandonment]

[Occupation: It will become your Affiliated Territory and can continue to develop.]

[Abandonment: You will obtain 5o%-80°/o of the territory resources, and this territory will be abandoned.]

Occupy!

[You have occupied this territory and it has automatically become an Affiliated Township.]

[You can set a ‘Proxy Ruler’ in the Book of Lords.]

After filling in Fu Lei’s name in the proxy ruler section, a Book of City Lord split from it.

“Okay, Fu Lei, do your work well in the future. You already have a good advantage here. It can be a bit embarrassing if you fall behind others.” Fang Hao handed the Book of City Lord to Fu Lei.

“Yes, Boss,” Fu Lei said as he took the book with both hands.

Now, he was one of the city lords under Fang Hao, although the city was not very large.

“Let’s go. I will upgrade the defense measures in your city a bit and then arrange some guards for you,” said Fang Hao as he stood up to leave.

Fang Hao upgraded the city wall to level 4 and built an arrow tower and a heavy sword infantry training camp.

After the Heavy Sword Infantry Training camp was built, he used the soul crystals in the warehouse for recruitment.

[100 times amplification! Recruiting 101 Heavy Sword Infantry.]

101 sturdy men, with bare upper bodies showing strong muscles, appeared before them.

“Lord,” they saluted.

The recruited soldiers swear allegiance to Fang Hao, and obey the governor of this city.

“From today on, you will guard this city,” said Fang Hao.

“Yes, sir,” they saluted again.

Fang Hao proceeded to make equipment for them, and then ordered them to stand guard and patrol.

“Boss, you recruited so many all at once. What about the food …” Fu Lei said, wiping his sweat.

The main city had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but the undead did not need to eat.

Here at Fu Lei’s, even recruiting too soldiers caused him to sweat.

“Just ensure the production of your fish products, and I’ll manage the food for you.”

“Oh, alright.”
