Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 251 Warehouses and Warehouse Management

When Li Wei came out of the warehouse on the third floor, she had to be careful and dare not walk too fast, otherwise she would have a slight feeling of sensory integration dysfunction.

Of course, once he returned to the fifth floor, he had basically adapted, and he only needed to work hard for a day or two to adjust.

It's worth mentioning that this is the temporary drawback that occurs when defense and strength attributes suddenly increase so much; health and stamina attributes are completely unaffected.

The agility attribute, on the other hand, has little impact because of excessive training and over-training.

If I had to describe it, suddenly increasing strength and defense is like a small horse pulling a large cart, while agility is the opposite.

Next, Li Wei tried on the noble heraldic armor, and sure enough, it didn't fit quite right. However, it wasn't a big problem because the heraldic armor had three adjustable positions during its second remake: one on the shoulders, one under the armpits, and one at the waist. Since it was designed to accommodate chainmail, it was actually perfectly fine.

The real problem is that the boots are a bit tight. Although it's bearable, it will definitely affect your ability to fight for a long time.

What kind of equipment is it if it can't even automatically adjust its size?

Li Wei complained, but for now he could only put up with it. However, he could ask Li Yue to stay at home next month to alter his boots.

"Li Wei, congratulations."

When Zhao Xuanxuan returned for breakfast and saw Li Wei, she couldn't help but laugh. She then hurriedly adjusted his summer clothes, not even bothering to eat. He couldn't very well go out to patrol the territory shirtless.

Thomas was incredibly envious. Four stars! It felt like a dream. Just two years ago, this kid was a greenhorn.

This speed is too fast.

Just as Li Wei was about to speak, several messages suddenly appeared before him, Thomas, and Zhao Xuanxuan.

[Duke of Flames' subordinates, all-powerful individuals, launched a surprise attack on the northern resource point of the camp overnight. In the critical moment, family members Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi responded appropriately, took the initiative to attack, annihilated the invading enemy, and defended the resource point without any casualties on their side. They won the battle and accumulated 3000 contribution points.]

Family member Li Yue gained 1000 contribution points, bringing her total to 2550 contribution points.

Family member Liang Yuzhi gained 1000 contribution points, bringing her total to 2500 contribution points.

[Family member Leon gained 500 contribution points, bringing his total to 1165 contribution points]

Family member Zhang Jinjun received 200 contribution points, bringing his total to 675.

Ten free citizens have earned 300 contribution points, which will be added to the head of the household's contribution. Each of them will receive 500 territory contribution points, to be distributed during the quarterly settlement (Note: 1 point of household contribution = 100 points of territory contribution).

[Friendly reminder: Your family has accumulated 15785 family contribution points, which is about to reach the maximum family contribution point limit of 17000. If you cannot create more fixed assets to expand the limit before the end of the month, the end-of-month summary reward will not be distributed and will be reset to zero at the beginning of next month.]

[Warning: If this situation persists for three months without improvement, the head of the household will be impeached]

-

what?
Has the Flame Duke finally made his move?
Moreover, the battle started last night. However, Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi, as expected of cross-industry big shots, managed to hold the line with an extra 150% difficulty. But this also means that the two of them came with great force and have already begun to exert their strength. What should we do next?
At this moment, both Thomas and Zhao Xuanxuan looked at Li Wei with concern.

But Li Wei wasn't flustered at all; in fact, he was relieved. He had been worried that Duke Flame would bypass the underground base and launch a surprise attack on the camp first.

So it's not a big problem, because the reason he's reorganizing and reforming the free people this month is precisely to counter this situation.

As long as he can keep the free citizens in check, he has plenty of options.

"Thomas, you don't need to work for the next few days. You'll be in charge of patrolling and security at the camp, because I'm going to mine coal. Xuanxuan, you should also shift your focus a bit and prioritize ensuring the safety of the camp."

"it is good!"

Thomas readily agreed, even though it would make his monthly main quest completion rate lower. So what? He didn't even know where he was sitting.

Everything is done with Li Wei's strategic objectives as the top priority.

“Okay, I can help with patrols at night, but I still want to do some work during the day. Could you hand over that welder, Lenos, to me? I’m planning to assemble and weld two more handcarts; you might need them for mining coal.”

"Also, we need to get all the welding work done before the radiation storm hits and while the solar panels are generating electricity. Welding is a very difficult process to replace."

“Yes, that’s what I think too.” Li Wei nodded. The welder, Lenos, was also an electrician, and like Nelson and Javier, he was a lively old man.

At this moment, Li Wei beckoned over Jenny, the older woman who was serving him.

“Jenny, go tell Nelson that I need him to organize a ten-man coal mining team, and he will be the captain. We’ll head to the valley town to mine coal today.”

Next, Li Weiyi issued four orders. Almost simultaneously, except for Santiago and Javier who could not receive the signal, the other veteran welders, including Lenos, Nelson, and Javier, received the specific task requirements.

This time, no one can stand up for themselves!

In fact, among the Free Citizens, there are currently five people who can be considered the core of the team.

The first on the list is engineer Nelson, the second is former lieutenant Santiago, the third is electrician Lenos, the fourth is warehouse manager Javier, and the fifth is former wounded special forces soldier Benjamin.

However, among these five people, the one with the most potential is the special forces soldier Benjamin.

He was young and strong, quick-witted, and shrewd. Li Yue had chosen him from the start, and he had been working at the underground base for over a month. Under Li Yue's tutelage, Benjamin's growth had been extremely rapid. He must have shone brightly in last night's battle.

Li Yue even triggered six random tasks for Benjamin in the past forty-six days, so Benjamin's current territory contribution is as high as 1868 points. Although it is converted into 18.6 family contribution points, it is actually quite good.

In addition, Li Yue also gifted him three one-star attribute cards and two two-star equipment pieces.

Those who don't know the inside story might think Li Wei is about to gain another brother-in-law.

But in reality, this was a spy that Li Yue planted for Li Wei among the free people.

Unfortunately, that's all it can do. Li Wei has completed the reorganization, and there are still four days left in the month, enough time to make a difference.

After breakfast, Thomas went to change into his gear and go on patrol, while Zhao Xuanxuan, after adjusting Li Wei's summer uniform, found the welder, Lenos, who was waiting on the first floor and started working on her own tasks.

Li Wei went to the kitchen on the fourth floor, where five middle-aged female cooks, including Alan, Jenny, and Mina, were busy with four free women.

When they saw Li Wei come in, they were all obviously nervous. The reorganization and tidying up over the past two days had finally shattered their unrealistic fantasies.

Naturally, they felt fear when facing Li Wei, and at the very least, they dared not disrespect him.

What was that before?
To hoard weapons and scheme against the lord—that's incredibly audacious.

They won't behave unless you give them a good talking to.

"Alan!"

“My esteemed lord, I am here. May I ask how I can serve you?” Allen asked quickly, almost as if it were a conditioned reflex.

Li Wei smiled and said, "From now on, you will be the head chef of the camp, and you will also be responsible for the registration, management, and daily maintenance of food-related supplies."

“I plan to build two warehouses for storing food. One of them will be for storing grains, and it needs to have good ventilation, dehumidification, and dryness and safety. Therefore, I suggest building it on the first floor with a total area of ​​150 square meters. As for the second warehouse, which can be used to store refrigerated fresh food, I suggest building it on the basement floor. Nelson has already built one, so one of them will be enough.”

"From now on, these two warehouses will be called Warehouse No. 2."

“You’ll be in charge of managing these things. In addition, your team can include those eight women with children. We don’t expect them to do much work, but they should be fine for odd jobs, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, washing dishes, and cleaning.”

"Furthermore, starting next month, the kitchen will be divided into two parts. One part will remain on the fourth floor as a small canteen, and the ingredients for cooking will be obtained from the warehouse on the third floor, including fresh seasonal vegetables, and the meals will be prepared according to the canteen's standards."

"Another part of the kitchen will be located outside the building, serving as a large canteen. The ingredients for cooking will be obtained from the warehouse on the first floor, and the meals will be prepared according to the standards of a large canteen."

"Finally, the children will also be under your care. All children over the age of eight will have to study and work at the same time, of course, some light work, while children over the age of twelve will have to become apprentices."

"do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Aunt Allen stammered, looking completely bewildered. At that moment, at least twenty pieces of information were being generated in front of her.

All the necessary rules are in place, so Li Wei doesn't need supervision. The prestige card system can automatically track, locate, identify, and settle accounts. If a mistake is made, an information warning will be triggered immediately, successfully bringing him the joy of the game.

Without saying anything more, Li Wei left. This Aunt Allen was quite decent; making her the second warehouse manager was more suitable than making that Javier, because the latter was more suitable to be the third warehouse manager.

That's right, the warehouse on the third floor is warehouse number 1, and the current warehouse manager is Liang Yuzhi.

Warehouse No. 3 was originally the basement on the first floor of the building, where Li Wei and his team had previously discovered a large amount of supplies. The total area here is about 500 square meters, which is quite spacious. Now it is used to store various tools and important supplies, especially some machines, important parts, lathes, welding machines, generators, battery packs and the like that dismantled from the underground base.

These supplies cannot be managed without a professional.

So in fact, Li Wei had already announced the appointment through the prestige system early this morning.

When I went downstairs, I saw Nelson waiting with ten freemen.

He naturally wanted to offer some encouragement. Old Nelson wore a bright smile, showing no sign of dissatisfaction. What else could he do? He himself should know that everything had already been settled.

I've already conveyed the specific tasks to you, and I've also secured the resource points in the coal mine for you. Do you still need me to teach you the rest?
Prepare for a tough struggle; the requirements aren't high, just ten hours a day.

"Let's go, let's wait to the south."

Li Wei laughed and continued chatting with Nelson. In fact, he needed Nelson's help in many areas. Nelson was an engineer, no doubt about that. Once the work was finished and the splints were put on, Nelson could use him more effectively.

Li Wei cannot stay in this territory forever, so finding a capable territory official is very important.

Nelson is pretty good.

It's worth mentioning that this old guy has four wives and three children, the eldest of whom is Santiago. Interesting, isn't it?

In short, there are many things that Li Wei understands, Nelson understands, and he must understand.
