Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

Previously, because the dark elves were physically weak, it was difficult for the people here to even hunt wild boars. But now it was different. Just from the amount of prey brought back by the hunting team that Lin Rui saw, it felt like all the animals and monsters in the entire Beizhou Forest had been hunted down by them.

When Lin Rui's energy was running out, he only noticed that everyone was fighting for who would be the one to take care of him, but he didn't pay attention to the evolution and food collection. Lin Rui realized that after entering the dormant state, he seemed to become defenseless.

We should pay more attention to this in the future.

They did not wait for his order, but took the initiative to attack, and acted within a controllable range. In this respect, their behavior is worthy of encouragement. I don't know if it has anything to do with the occurrence of evolution.

If we compare it to the process of human evolution, strength and wisdom should be improved.

As for diet, there seemed to be no change. After all, the living conditions in the Beizhou Forest were extremely bad, so they ate whatever they could get. It was just that after their bodies and intelligence had evolved, the amount of animals and monsters they hunted and ate increased significantly, and the proportion of wild vegetables, fruits, grass leaves, and insects in their diet decreased slightly.

Now everyone's combat effectiveness has increased beyond estimation. In just two days, they have collected an amount of food that was previously impossible to obtain.

Seeing everyone's faces filled with happiness, Lin Rui was still a little worried.

Living on the forest alone will still be difficult to cope with emergencies. The most urgent task now is to teach them the traditional skills of planting and farming that have been hidden in the genes of the Chinese for thousands of years. The supply of food must be stable and worry-free, which is the basic condition for moving towards a good life.

As for crops suitable for cultivation, it depends on the natural conditions here. The climate here is cold and dry, so rice may not be suitable. The administrator system can only change the soil properties, and the climate problem seems to be unsolvable.

It’s a pity that I can’t eat the rice from my hometown anymore.

It's a pity, but the banquet is coming soon, so just relax and enjoy it.

That day, the banquet lasted until late at night to celebrate the evolution, the defeat of the Black Beast Group, the temporary survival of the coastal elves, and Lin Rui's recovery.

Maybe everyone was really tired, or maybe they took into consideration that Lin Rui had just recovered and was not suitable for strenuous exercise, so none of Olga and her friends launched a night attack.

Lin Rui spent his second single night in this world.

the next day.

Lin Rui held his first round of retainers' meeting in the audience hall as the King of Dark Elves and Lord of Yizi City.

In addition to Olga and Chloe, the seven elders also attended the meeting.

There are a lot of issues to discuss later, but the important things must be discussed first.

That's the rule. What are the rules for living in this city from now on?

Lin Rui discovered that there were no decent rules or laws in Yizi City, and everything was done at will.

So the first thing he did when he took office was to draw up rules.

Rules are an indispensable element of group life. They are taken for granted by the Chinese.

"Other people have to follow the rules, but you don't have to!"

This kind of behavior is unacceptable. Although these are the words that Lin Rui likes to say.

After a night of thinking, Lin Rui set three basic rules.

As for the more detailed parts below, they will be left to Olga and the elders to work out.

"We are all here, right? Then I will issue my first order as the king, which is to make three rules for everyone! There are three rules in total, but I hope that you don't have to abide by them."

After that, Lin Rui announced three rules:

1. It is forbidden to attack others without Lin Rui's order to start a war, except when being attacked.

Second, there should be no internal strife. Everyone should help each other. If there is anything that cannot be decided, it should be referred to the next higher level for arbitration.

3. Do not discriminate against other races.

that's all.

This is the result of thinking all night.

Originally, Lin Rui wanted to set more rules, but he felt that before the literacy rate and the overall quality of the nation improved, complex rules would be difficult to follow in a short period of time. So he listed the things that seemed important to him.

So what is everyone's reaction?

"Excuse my rude words! Master, why can't we attack passers-by?"

Chloe asked, dangling the two bombs on her chest that could detonate Lin Rui's desire at any time.

Um, it’s so tight… I mean the clothes…

Olga gave her a murderous look with a fierce look on her face. Perhaps she interpreted that behavior as insubordination?

Actually, you don't need to be so respectful to me. During the meeting, you should speak freely and answer everyone's questions, so that the plan can be implemented thoroughly during the execution phase, right?

"The reason is simple, because attacking passers-by does us no good. If we want to grow and become wealthy in the future, we need to attract a large number of merchants to come here to trade. Attacking passers-by will only ruin our reputation and popularity. In the long run, merchants will simply give up trading with us and choose a safer path. This is one reason.

Secondly, whether it is elves, orcs or humans, we are all social animals. No matter which side we attack, we may encounter a strong counterattack. If they gather together to attack us, even if we can fight ten people at once, we will find it difficult to resist the overwhelming retaliation. For these reasons, I forbid everyone to attack them. "

Those merchants who came to Otoko City to trade before were probably smugglers who were obsessed with taking risks. According to Lin Rui's judgment, normal merchants would never go deep into such a shabby place and risk being robbed to do business with Otoko City.

Smuggling trade is indeed highly profitable, but all of that profit is pocketed by the middlemen who make a profit from the price difference.

For Otoko Castle, it is an exploited upstream node in trade and cannot gain any benefits at all.

Therefore, the right approach is to open the formal market as soon as possible and encourage normal trade with neighboring forces.

0After hearing Lin Rui's explanation, Olga nodded vigorously, seeming to agree.

There must be a reason why she can't just act rashly.

Lin Rui's statement seemed to be recognized by everyone! That mentality was written all over everyone's face.

Let's just assume that they agree.

jiu “Any other questions?”

1. “You can’t discriminate against other races…what does that mean?”

Today she has a lot of questions.

But as long as she raised her hand, her chest would attack the tight armor, and the slime that could break through the armor's defense at any time was emphasizing its existence all the time. It kept changing its shape as if to show off its elasticity and capacity.

Lin Rui didn't plan to say anything about the eye-catching scenery. He just enjoyed it with peace of mind.

"In fact, the logic behind this is very simple. Didn't you become stronger after evolution? You must not be complacent at this time and look down on other races! This is true even for the weak! That's what I mean.

We are just getting a little stronger, don't think too highly of yourself. If one day the opponent becomes stronger and comes back to seek revenge, then won't it be our turn to be ravaged?

If you still don't understand, just understand it this way. Aren't there Al people in Otoko Castle? I think everyone gets along pretty well. I hope you can get along with other races like you do with Al people, with mutual benefit and respect, it's that simple.

Of course, if you are bullied, don't be polite, even if you end up with a black eye and a swollen face, you must fight back. This is integrity.

The same is true of helping each other. If one of us is bullied by an outsider, it means that all of us are bullied by an outsider. If no one offends me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, I will cut off the root of the problem.

These are the rules, and I hope everyone will abide by them.”

Everyone is listening very attentively. There should be no problem.

Basically when you give advice, there are always some people who don't listen.

Despite this, Lin Rui still hopes to prevent problems from happening as much as possible before they occur.

The new rules of Otsuko Castle officially came into effect. Everyone nodded to show their willingness to comply.

Just like that, a new life together began.

Chapter 22 Rectification and Reform

After formulating the rules, the next step is to arrange the work.

First of all, safety is the guarantee of everything.

Ever since the dark elf tribe split into Otoko City and Coastal City, she had been like a wealthy, beautiful, and weak widow who could be plundered and bullied by anyone.

之前9因为乙子城4的居民8营养不二足导致整个城4市的防三御力积贫3积弱，现在乙子城5的人都进化了，之前因为基础弱而落下的国防，眼下正是重新整顿收拾的好时候。

At the very least, we must ensure the safety of Otoshi Castle and its nearby villages so that the people can sleep well at night.

Chloe, who was familiar with military affairs, was assigned this task, so she selected the more capable soldiers who were good at frontal combat from the guards. These people would patrol the villages in the territory at the planned time and according to the assigned routes to drive away the scoundrels.

After that, there is the team that collects materials, hunts, and performs reconnaissance tasks.

The selection and allocation of personnel was still left to Chloe. This unit would select soldiers with better legs and feet, good at camouflage and good at archery.

They will present themselves as hunters, wandering along the border control line of Otoko City, hunting large animals or monsters to subsidize the production and living materials in the city. By the way, they can also collect intelligence information about foreign forces.

Next come the mobile work teams that support the villages in production and the people who organize the facilities.

These people are mainly recruited from the unemployed in the city and various villages. They will be divided into several teams and take turns to be responsible for infrastructure construction, such as reclaiming land, building water conservancy projects, repairing roads and so on.

Of course, all teams have about 5 to 10 days off every month. Lin Rui is not the kind of greedy capitalist who would let his subordinates work 996.

The patrol and hunting teams were handed over to five of the seven dark elf elders who were good at fighting. Although they still looked like weak girls after their evolution, they were actually very capable. Do you remember the captain of the black beast team? They could basically fight that guy to a draw. This was the conclusion Lin Rui came to after checking the status panels of several people.

Of course, just in case, Lin Rui also copied several skills he had previously obtained from the captain of the Black Beast Team to them.

2^熘肆肆提书裙: Among them, everyone has a skill called "consciousness network", and its purpose is to facilitate communication when encountering emergencies.

As for the remaining two dark elf elders who seemed more intellectual and not good at fighting, they were transferred to Olga's command as civilian staff for her to command.

The daily maintenance of Otoko Castle was handed over to Olga, because she was the lord who was in charge of the city.

Armed forces and law and order were left to Chloe.

"Olga, I now officially appoint you as the governor of Otoko Castle! Although the things you have to do are similar to before, I will now carry out large-scale development of the entire territory, including Otoko Castle. The workload will surely increase significantly, so you must manage it well. Do you understand?"

Simply put, Lin Rui just threw all the chores to him. It felt like he was throwing a hot potato.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Lin Rui had never been in contact with human affairs before, so it was too difficult for him to manage people. Besides, as the king of the dark elves, he couldn't be tied down by a small fortress with 2000 people.

Although this approach was a bit harsh, Olga had to accept it because that was what he thought.

"Yes! Master! I, Olga, am willing to risk my life to manage this place well and will definitely live up to your expectations!"

She lowered her head solemnly, knelt on one knee, and accepted Lin Rui's appointment without even taking the time to think.

Yeah. I like this arrangement very much. I just need to open my mouth occasionally in the future.

Lin Rui was very satisfied as he looked at Olga, who was kneeling in front of him, with the deep cleavage of her chest completely exposed to his sight because of the flexibility of her breasts without her realizing it.

But here I have to say something about Olga. Although she used to be a mature, charming and sexy older sister... after Lin Rui's care for her over the past few days, she seems to look younger. Of course, she still looks like an older sister, but the temperament and magic she exudes are stronger and more powerful.

Lin Rui even had a feeling that the next time he faced the forest elf magician Mizili, Olga would at least not lose to her.

That's incredible, elf.

"Yes. I'll leave the work in the city to you! Oh, and the house that was demolished in the battle with the Black Beast Group. Oh! And the matter of clothes, since you have grown up now, your current clothes are too revealing. Is there any way to get new clothes?"

"So far, our clothes have all been exchanged from the Al people. But the Al people in the city have limited production capacity, and most of their output must be kept as commodities, so most of the time we still trade with others to exchange what we need."

"I see. I'll go check it out later. What do you guys trade with? Money?"

Lin Rui vaguely remembered that he had never seen money or anything similar to money in the city.

"No, we usually keep the materials we hunted from animals or monsters, as well as the money we looted from passing orcs, and exchange them for supplies. Although some outsiders have suggested exchanging labor for supplies, we, as the only women, have refused."

Indeed, this sounds dangerous.

"Really? What kind of fellows are they?"

"They are orcs too. But they are different from the Black Orcs. Actually, they are not that different. They are all the same. They are not happy with us dark elves. But if we don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will not be interested in us."

From Olga's description, it seems that he is a rather different kind of orc.

"Are there still orcs like this? Where do they live?"

"Just east of our Otoshi Castle, there is the Orc Kingdom of Urakami. Master, do you want to go and take a look?"

From Olga's expression, it seemed that she didn't want Lin Rui to go to the place called Urakami. Lin Rui also put on a complimenting attitude and said that he had no interest in that place:

"No, I'll go again when I have the chance. Now I just want to take good care of my own little piece of land."

Olga was very pleased with Lin Rui's reaction. She nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Master is really cautious in his work. But there is nothing worth guarding in Otoko Castle. Apart from the salt mine that Master discovered yesterday, there is nothing good here."

"You're wrong, Olga. Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. I've completely remodeled the environment around Otoko Castle for everyone... Of course, please don't ask how I did it, but Otoko Castle is different now."

That's right. During the three days that Lin Rui was in hibernation, he used this rare free time to study the administrator system again and made major modifications to the area around Otoko Castle to make it more suitable for living.

Of course, the modification is not free. Lin Ruiyou noticed that the modification of the soil environment requires the consumption of something called "excitement points". Yes, you read it right, it is "excitement points" not "excitement points"

Lin Rui didn't know exactly where this thing came from, but just by analyzing the name, LSPs and gentlemen should immediately understand how the points are increased.

During these days of partying with Olga and the others every night, Lin Rui had vented almost all the desires accumulated in the first half of his life, so this amount was naturally not small.

In fact, this is true. Although it is unknown what the upper limit of the points is, Lin Rui has already obtained 10000 points.

As for how many points would be consumed by modifying the land, remember when Lin Rui once selected a piece of saline-alkali land to change its land attributes in order to test the "modify" function? At that time, he noticed that he consumed 50 points every time, although he didn't know whether this was the cost of modifying the saline-alkali land or the cost of modifying the land, anyway, he would modify as much as he could at the moment.
