Chapter 349 New Suggestion - Bryen



"Kiki, Bryen is also a very good candidate."

Suddenly Anno mentioned Bryen. Hearing that, Hikaru shook his head and said, "No, we don't know what her abilities and thoughts are. If she's not the right fit, it'll probably be difficult for the job."

"Even if her mindset is the same as Narita's, it will take time for us to change her mind, but that's not necessarily successful."

Anno shook his head: "No, trust me, Kiki, I'm sure Bryen will do a good job."

"Besides, she has also been managing the Shareny Kingdom in place of Ratylous and Raven for almost 50 years, her experience will surely be no less."

After Hearing Anno's words, Hikaru felt a little reassured. Anyway, the people she introduced or recommended to him were all very trustworthy.

Besides, Anno would not harm him, on the contrary, she was his woman, so she would always think of helping him get as many benefits as possible.

Anno continued: "Bryen has also given us the locations of 12 resource mines, all of which are important resources for a kingdom."

"Although we haven't exploited those mines yet, I estimate the amount of resources in those 12 mines is enough for our kingdom to use for 1,000-2,000 years."

Hikaru frowned and asked, "Does Bryen own that many resources? Won't her actions make the king of Zumberos suspicious?"

Anno shook his head: "Did you know that when Bryen married Raven, the king of Zumberos - Zidaron gave the kingdom of Shareny 45 resource mines."

"45 resource mines? Can the Zumberos Kingdom produce resource mines?" Hikaru asked, confused. It must be known that the 12 resource mines that Bryen provided, according to Anno's estimates, were enough for him to use for the next 1,000 - 2,000 years.

So how much will 45 resource mines be?

Besides… Why does the Zumberos kingdom possess so many resources that are not occupied by other kingdoms?

Anno smiled and said, "Kiki, maybe you don't know. Zumberos is a kingdom with an extremely large area. In this world, the only kingdom that has the right to sit on the same level as the Saric Sanctuary, is the kingdom of Zumberos."

"Besides, Zumberos kingdom has many vassal kingdoms. The special thing is that Zumberos has full rights to exploit the resources in the vassal kingdoms."

Hikaru frowned and said, "Don't the other Vassal Kingdoms object to this?"

Anno explains: "This also has to do with the wisdom of Zidaron. He is the one behind the coups in the vassal kingdoms."

"He is the one who caused the coups and also supported the new king of the vassal kingdom to ascend to the throne."

"Those new kings can live off the protection of Zidaron's army, and Zidaron has full rights to exploit the resources of those vassal kingdoms."

"As time went on, the members of the Zumberos' army and royal family gradually became the rulers of the vassal kingdoms."

"The king of those kingdoms became a figurehead, they are of no use as every decision rests with the royal family of Zumberos."

Hikaru nodded at that, it seemed that Zidaron was a very cunning person. This was a common method on Earth used by large countries.

Economic traps, political traps..etc.

Hikaru felt that he himself needed to be careful, or else his territory would one day belong to his enemies.

Anno continued, "Even though Bryen is not good looking, her ability is extremely good. She is also the one who came up with the plans to exploit and use resources for the Zumberos kingdom."

"Until now, Bryen's plan to mine and use resources is still being used by Zidaron."

Hikaru nodded and said, "Um… I am reassured. For the time being, you don't need to care about mining those resources. We should focus on stabilizing and fully replenishing our territory first."

"Once we have enough manpower to manage the territory, we can progress to mining minerals and finding more resources from outside the territory."

"Ah! Is Mika's weaving workshop finished?"

Anno nodded: "Um… her workshop is finished, inside there are about 10 looms for normal fabrics, 3 looms for intermediate fabrics, and 1 loom especially for Mika."

"The current workers are only female dwarves, they are in the process of apprenticeship but they still receive a salary. Apprentice salaries are not high enough for them to worry about buying food every day."

"Of course they will buy food from the supermarket with an ID card. Currently, ID cards have been provided to more than 600 residents in the territory. If everyone in the territory had ID cards, the number would increase to over 800."

"Food distribution has also completely stopped for everyone in the territory. They have started working to be able to live on their own without our help."

Hikaru nodded, it seemed that the distance to reaching 1,000 inhabitants in the territory was not far.

….

Void Library

Description 7: For each type of special building in your territory that has 100 users, you will receive one bonus draw. (The next time is 1,000 turns).

Description 8: If the number of inhabitants in your territory reaches 1,000, you will receive one free evolution. Note, the evolution tier is not higher than SUR, and cannot be used to evolve for yourself. (Next time 10,000 people.)

…

In order to achieve an evolution to Tier SUR as shown in the 8th description, he needed to wait more.

But Hikaru knew he didn't need to wait too long. The current population in the territory was less than 1,000, but after the mixed-bloods arrive, the number would increase greatly.

However, he also needed to prepare resources for the mixed-bloods to live and work for.

According to the description of number 7, he probably had at least one draw. In addition, he has 7 unopened treasure chests that the territory has produced.

Hikaru started checking the number of people who used the special buildings

…

Guild Hall

Used number: 0/100

Description 1: When construction is complete, this is a place where the people in the territory can register to form a guild.

Description 2: The registered guild will be tracked, the lord can know all information about the guild including the members of the guild. If any guild intends to leave the territory or rebel, the system will immediately notify.

…

Quest Hall

Used number: 0/100

Description 1: The lord can issue quests in this lobby, only those with IDs certified by the administrative hall can accept quests.

Description 2: Based on the quests completed by the player, you can level up that player.

…

Healing Hall

Used number: 20/100

Description 1: When construction is complete, the Healing Hall will sell Healing Enchantments, the higher the value, the higher the effect of the Healing Enchantments.

Description 2: Healing Enchanters can heal other players or creatures.

…

Administrative Hall

Used number: 677/1,000

Description 1: Every citizen who wants to become a legal resident of the territory needs to re-register the Administrative Hall ID.

Description 2: Residents who own ID cards, becoming an official resident of the territory will gain 10% of all stats permanently.

…

Hikaru saw that aside from the Administrative Hall and the Healing Hall, the other buildings were still unused. However, other projects are still in the process of being completed.

Although the construction has been completed, there is still no staff to put it into operation.

Healing Hall is different, he can hire a Healing Enchanter to make the Healing Hall work. Currently, he has spent 1 billion Soul Points to hire 10 Healing Enchanters.

However, it seems that the current Healing Hall still didn't have much effect. After all, the people in the territory didn't fight, most of them possessed the ability to use magic so they weren't injured nor infected.

Because of that, most of the people who use the Healing Hall were Dwarves and Lizard babies.

But he also got a draw thanks to the Administrative Hall. He immediately used that draw, and a notice from the system appeared in front of him.

[Ding! Congratulations on getting the [Mineral medal].

…

Name: Mineral medal

Tier: SR

Description: When wearing this medal, your residents when mining anywhere will see an increase of the minerals mined by 20%, the mining speed will also increase by 20%.

Hikaru was overjoyed seeing this medal, he immediately asked Rika: "Rika, can this medal affect the material collection of the users or the inhabitants of this territory?"

[To be sure, you need to evolve it to a higher Tier, but that medal will have much better effects.]

"So… evolve the [Mineral medal]."

[Ding! To evolve a Mineral medal, you need to pay 10 billion soul points.]

"Accept!"

[Ding! Successfully evolving, you receive a Mineral medal - Tier SSR.]

"Continue to evolve."

…

Seeing the description, Hikaru felt overjoyed. This medal would help his territory grow at a tremendous speed.

He smiled and asked Anno: "How much manpower do you expect to exploit those 12 mineral deposits?"

"Heh?! Kiki, just now you said we don't have to worry about them for the time being, why are you asking this now."

He smiled confidently: "Hahaha… because I just got an item that can help our territory grow faster."

Anno nodded, she was a smart girl, so she knew there were many things that shouldn't be asked.

Anno rubbed her chin thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "The number needed to mine the 12 mines is about 1,000 people for each mine."
