Survival in Uncharted: I Can Raise Reward Levels

Chapter 98
"The Principality of Barut?"

This is the second time Zhang Yang has heard the name of this country. Ellie said before that she was born in the Principality of Barut.

"Ai Li, come and see, is this your hometown?"

He immediately called Ellie, the little maid standing beside her, to check.

"My lord, I'm not from the capital. I'm not familiar with the terrain there. I've only been there once with my parents."

Ellie shook her head immediately.

"That's it,"

Zhang Yang expressed his understanding, and looked at old Kaili again,
"Old Kaili, how far is the place on this map from our place?"

Old Carey immediately frowned and thought about it,

"It's about 200 kilometers to the northwest, and the distance will not exceed [-] kilometers."

Old Carey didn't seem very sure either, so he gave an approximate range.

"It's not far, so I'll take some time to have a look."

Zhang Yangke had never explored treasures before, so he immediately felt full of energy.

"My lord, the Blackstone Territory cannot live without you, please don't abandon your subjects."

As soon as Zhang Yang said he was going, the old butler Kaili panicked and immediately tried to dissuade him.

"What's wrong? It's not like I went and didn't come back, so you and Mark can't manage the people in this territory?"

Zhang Yang said suddenly.

"My lord, although some animal meat has just been added to the territory, due to the decrease in rye production, there is still no long-term food supply. The food problem is still serious. In addition, there will be monsters attacking the territory from time to time. Captain Mark and the others may not be able to support it. You can live, so you really can't live without you in the territory."

Carey Sr. began to explain why.

"According to what you said, wouldn't I, the lord, become your nanny?"

After Zhang Yang heard his words, he felt that he was too sad. He could help with small favors, but it was impossible for him to take care of others all the time.

[Task [-]: Solve the problem of insufficient rye production in the territory.

Task completion reward: 500 merit points.

Task [-]: Solve the defense problem of the territory.

Task completion reward: 500 merit points. 】

Just when he decided to ignore the territory and go directly to treasure hunting, the system issued a task.

"Good guy, old Carey is the system producer!"

Zhang Yang suddenly exclaimed in his heart that the system took care of old Kaili. At present, as long as he raises questions, they all become tasks.

With the task rewards as the goal, Zhang Yang felt that his motivation was a little bit stronger. He could see if the two tasks could be solved first. If they were easy to solve, he would complete the tasks first and then go to treasure hunting.

"Old Carey, now you take me to see the rye fields."

Zhang Yang stood up and said.

"Okay, my lord."

The old housekeeper knew that Zhang Yang's words meant that he was ready to deal with business, so he immediately led Zhang Yang out of the room, and the werewolf maid Ellie followed.

Ten minutes later, the three of Zhang Yang left the castle with kerosene lamps in hand, passed through the main street which was not busy, and came to the rye field area.

"My lord, we have filled all the places in the territory where rye can be grown, but the total area is still too small and the output is not enough. Recently, due to long-term planting, the output has begun to decrease."

Old Kaili led Zhang Yang and Ai Li to the scattered rye fields in the territory, and told Zhang Yang the basic situation.

Zhang Yang also relied on dark vision to inspect the territory under his name for the first time.

His black stone territory was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the side without mountains was sealed off by the city wall, and there was only one entrance and exit of the city gate.

The Black Mountain surrounding three sides is not high, but it is very steep, which can prevent most monsters from attacking.

There are also underground rivers flowing into the territory in the mountains, so the water supply is sufficient.

The area of ​​the territory is not small. The Black Stone Castle where Zhang Yang lives and the living quarters where other residents live only occupy a very small part of the territory, and most of the other land has not been used, because those places are basically distributed with large and small land. The stone is difficult to develop.

Therefore, even though the area of ​​the territory is sufficient, there are still very few places available to grow rye, and it is difficult to feed even more than 1000 people.

"My territory looks really good."

Zhang Yang was visiting his territory at this time, feeling happy, because he found that his territory was much larger than he calculated after hearing the number of people before. It was just that the quality of the land was not good enough to support many people. But this land problem, in his There is no problem at all.

Because, he possesses the power of the blood called the Sage of the Earth.

After asking old Kaili about the situation, Zhang Yang immediately began to use the earth sage's mud and rock manipulation ability to tidy up the ground.

The soil and rocks within a 300-meter radius of him immediately began to separate from the mud and rocks as he ordered them to do.

The stones in the ground began to gather together one by one, and Zhang Yang made them into big stone balls. After removing a lot of stones, the soil automatically came to fill the pits, making the ground firm and level.

This process is a bit complicated to say, but it is extremely efficient under the control of Zhang Yang's blood power of the earth sage. At first, he went and repaired wherever he went, and then he simply used the fast flying method to repair the land below while flying. , It took a full five hours to repair most of the idle land in the territory, get those hard and huge stones out of the ground, and blend them into the surrounding three steep rocks.

Old Dai Li was very surprised at Zhang Yang's land repairing behavior at first, but after watching it, he became numb. As for Ellie, who had seen Zhang Yang's ability a long time ago, she applied to Zhang Yang to go back to the castle on the way. I went to rest.

"Old Dai Li, do we have enough fields in our territory now?"

After five hours of continuous labor, Zhang Yang didn't look tired at all, but he was exhausted to death by the old Dai Li who refused to leave the whole time.

"Enough... definitely enough..."

At this moment, old Dai Li's numb face hides excitement, and the waste land in the territory has become usable fields. As long as the farmers are allowed to plant a large piece of rye, the food crisis will be resolved soon.

[You have completed the task: solve the problem of insufficient rye production in the territory.

Reward 500 merit points, which has been upgraded to 5000 merit points. 】

The broadcast of the system will also come soon.

"These 5000 points are not easy to earn. It took me so long, I have to go back to drink tea and rest."

Zhang Yang thought at this moment.

Immediately, he was going to fly back to Blackstone Castle in the territory with Old Dai Li, but Old Dai Li refused him, saying that he was going to arrange the planting of rye now, and he couldn't go back, so Zhang Yang had to go back alone.

After returning to the castle, Zhang Yang sensed Ellie's state first, and found that the werewolf girl was sleeping in his room, so he didn't disturb her, and began to think about the next plan while making tea.

"The issue of guarding the territory still depends on people, but I won't be able to find more good players for a while...Let's recruit people slowly...Leave this task alone...The important thing is to go treasure hunting."
