Doom Lord

Chapter 115- Establishment

Apart from making donation, there were plenty of ways to contribute to the territory, such as by completing a special task or through doing something productive for the territory.

Just like Yu Kai, he helped in assisting Cheng Yang find the Nirvana God Stone. It wasn’t a task that someone in his position was required to handle, therefore this task should be converted to contribution point. However, the contribution he received was only a minuscule amount. This time, the person that obtained the maximum benefit was the soldier that discovered the Nirvana God Stone.

Of course, if we goes by credit, Cheng Yang’s credit was no doubt the largest. However, he was the lord and was the only person in the entire territory to not possess a contribution value stat. After all, the entire territory belongs to him. Even if he does make a contribution, who would it goes to?

The rules of gods could not judge the worth of a person’s action in terms of contribution point. Therefore, in order to ensure fairness, it was suggested that a special department be set up to manage the contribution value. Their primary responsibility would be to provide missions with contribution point as the reward, as well as determine what had happened and evaluate them in a numerical contribution value.

It was certain that the workload of this department would be heavy, with their personnel destined to be unable to leave the territory all day long.

Therefore, Cheng Yang came up with the idea of picking a few professions that didn’t like to fight and had them placed inside this department. At the same time, he also added some territory guards. These two sides combined would make up the department.

In fact, Cheng Yang could also extends this olive branch to the ordinary people, but those people has a much lower sense of belongings to Luo Feng Village, and might not necessarily stands in the viewpoint of Luo Feng Village when considering things. As a result, Cheng Yang had to choose those that didn’t like to fight to run this department.

As for the territory guards, don’t look at them as if they were machines that could only fight 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They were also once humans, and with intelligence not lower than anyone else. Moreover, they were completely loyal to Cheng Yang. This alone, puts them above everyone else. With the combination of these two, the evaluation would certainly be judged fairly.

Cheng Yang and the others came up with a name for this new department, it was named Glory Hall.

The name meant that whoever could have their name enter the hall, that they would obtains glory. At this moment, only 10 people made up the department. They were respectively 5 ordinary professions, and 5 territory guards. The person in charge of the department was a territory guard named Yan Jun.

After these matters has been finalized, the infrastructure for the territory contribution value system was also taken out on the agenda, but the details on this matter could be perfected and improve later on. After all, no system was perfect from the very beginning.

Afterwards, Cheng Yang and others discussed on the development of Luo Feng Village. But since there was no one that knew better about the overall situation than Cheng Yang, basically it was him talking, while the rest were carefully listening.

After the meeting was over, Yu Kai and the rest began to disperse. Cheng Yang walked up to Liu Hao who was in the rear and inquired about a few matters from him. From his mouth, he obtained a piece of good news.

This guy had unexpectedly found the instance portal that was near Xianghe Village, and he had to admit that it was really well hidden. It was hidden between three trees, from afar, these trees looks like a single trees and was easy to be overlooked by other people.

This time, Cheng Yang didn’t intend to personally win this instance’s first clearance. After all, Liu Gao was already a high-order apprentice, and he also has with him four medium-order apprentices. If such a lineup couldn’t clear the instance, then they might as well smash their head in with a stone and be done with it.

But he had intended to win this instance first’s hard difficulty level clearance tomorrow, and then also conveniently take Black Tortoise Island’s first hard difficulty level clearance while walking towards Dongshan Village. If it were not for too many pressing matters going on today, he would had already clear the hard difficulty level of the Black Tortoise Island instance.

After making a few things clear to Liu Hao, Cheng Yang then went to look for Liu Xiyue. When both left the residence, the time was nine in the evening. He still needs to go out to kill monsters in the wild, and while doing so also collect herbs.

In fact, the number of alchemists in Luo Feng Village weren’t much at the moment, but the number of herbs picking tools were actually not a small amount. Cheng Yang could let these people picked up herbs for his usage and wholeheartedly focused on producing potions, but then the result would be that his herb collecting skill would seriously lagged behind his production skill. There was also the issue of his strength. In many cases, when people act alone, there would be times when they encountered good medicinal herbs outside. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you weren’t able to pick up the herbs due to the low grade of the herb picking skill?

Anyway, it doesn’t take long to collect herbs. After all, every day there was an upper limit on how much the skill could grow in proficiency from collecting herbs. Only the first one hundred herbs collected would increase the proficiency and as for how much it would increase by, it would depends on the grade of the picked herbs.

At the moment, Cheng Yang’s herb picking skill has just been upgraded to level 3, while the potion production skill still has a distance away from reaching the halfway mark of level 3. This couldn’t be help, the energy value was proving to be a calamity for him. Every day, there would be so little of it.

Cheng Yang together with Liu Xiyue gave a rough sweep of the area outside, before returning to Luo Feng Village. Now Cheng Yang’s cultivation takes six hours each day to finish, so he had to return to the village ahead of time in order to prepare.

After delivering the refined potions to the Alchemy Room, Cheng Yang gained more than 1,000 points of power value. Cheng Yang couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, business was truly a lucrative way of making money.

Cheng Yang’s income for today was relatively low, after all, today he spent most of his time dealing with cleaning up the Whitehead Eagles. But even so, Cheng Yang’s income for the day has reached 11,000 points of power value.

For him, one night of cultivation consumed nearly 3,000 points of power value. The price of such consumption was unbearable for ordinary people, even if it was Yuan Jianze, the controller of hundreds of thousands of people would be scared silly after hearing this number.

However, the effect was also very gratifying. He used to had an increase of 2.3% in his cultivation each day, but now it has risen to 3.5%. He couldn’t help but be very happy. This progress was indeed very fast.

The following day was all about clearing instances. However, it seems his luck was really bad today. Not a single silver-grade equipment bursted from the instance, which dampen Cheng Yang’s mood.

After exiting from the instance, Cheng Yang then had Chen Yun and the others go in, while he walked to the four main profession statues to have its second attribute upgraded.

Then, Cheng Yang prepared to leave for Xianghe Village, where there was a hard difficulty level instance waiting for him to win the first clearance. Cheng Yang was looking very forward to the upcoming harvest.

But today was doomed to not be Cheng Yang’s lucky day. He has yet to walk out of the gate, when he saw a person running in from outside of the gate.

“Wu Kong, why did you return? Could it be that you discover the main city’s team?” Cheng Yang asked while frowning. He was very familiar with this person, because ever since yesterday he had dispatched him to keep watch over the Undead Canyon instance.

Wu Kong didn’t idle around, and cut straight to the point, “That’s correct, Lord. Just half an hour ago, a team has been found near the instance, their number was around 200 people. Although I didn’t see them finding the portal, but from the location of the portal, it was only a matter of time. That’s why I immediately return in order to inform Lord.”

Cheng Yang said, “You done well. As long as the other side reach there, they would be able to see the instance portal. Okay, you can return to your team now. Today’s the big day where the various brigades formally be inducted into the army. You don’t want to miss that.”

“What about this matter?” Wu Kong hesitated before asking.

Cheng Yang said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. Go inform Yu Kai, and let him complete the setup of the army and immediately head on over there.”

“Yes, my Lord!” Wu Kong shouted, before quickly departing to carry out the order.

Liu Xiyue asked, “Lord, what should we do now?”

Cheng Yang released a sigh, “It seems that taking the first hard clearance now is impossible. We have to solve the problem of Yuan Jianze first before talking about this again.”

Liu Xiyue also didn’t reject, in her opinion with Cheng Yang’s strength, there was no problem that he couldn’t solve.

The two then changed direction and headed straight towards the southern channel of the city.

When Cheng Yang arrived near the Undead Canyon instance, there was already a large crowd of people there to defend it. There was no doubt that all of these people were profession. Around Xiangcheng City, in addition to the territory of Luo Feng Village, only the main city could produce profession, so their identity was self-evident.

“Stop, who are you?” A man shouted towards them in a loud voice.

When the two walked over, they didn’t deliberately tried to hide themselves, so the other side easily discovered them.

Cheng Yang chuckled and said, “Why does it matter who I am to you? Am I not allow to be here?”

The man had on a leather armor, he couldn’t tell what his identity was before the apocalypse, but Cheng Yang was sure that they weren’t the army.

Although Yuan Jianze has prepared a lot of equipment for his unit, but it would still take a long time before the unit be fully equipped. Therefore, some would inevitable have a portion of their uniform, boots, or pants revealed. But these seventy to eighty people in front of him, the part that didn’t had on equipment were exposed casual wear, so obviously they were not the army.

“Huh?” A voice that contained astonishment came out from the group. His gaze was focused on Liu Xiyue, he asked, “Why are you here?”

Cheng Yang was suddenly startled, he then turned to look at Liu Xiyue and asked, “Do you know this guy?”

Liu Xiyue’s eyes flashed a weird look, but she still nodded and whispered, “Yes, I know him. He is a captain from the Second Militia. He saved me from the ruins when the end started, but then later on he tried to forcibly bring me to the head of the Second Militia, Lu Gaofeng. If I wasn’t rescued the next day by Lord, I may have possibly died.”

In fact, Liu Xiyue’s mood was quite complex at the moment. She really didn’t know if she should be grateful to the other side or hate him, He was, after all, the man that rescued her from the ruins, and if it weren’t for him she would had already died. But what happened afterwards made her lose all sense of that gratitude.

Cheng Yang nodded, and then began to look at the opposite side eyes with a hint of coldness.

At this moment, Zhao Xun’s heart was filled restlessness because he was very clear of Liu Xiyue’s origin. At the same time, he also knew that Liu Xiyue had left Xiangcheng City’s main city.

When Cheng Yang left with Liu Xiyue and the others, he wasn’t in the main city, but he had heard about the details from the others. At that time, he had only one thing in mind, that was to never get involved with Liu Xiyue in this lifetime again.
