To the east of Aphi Village, a thin horse pulled an old, worn-out caravan along a forest path.

“Daddy, I’m so hungry!” A soft voice of a little girl came from inside the caravan.

“Just a bit further, Kathy.” Outside the caravan, a robust middle-aged man comforted her while patting the door, “According to the notice in the city, the territory recruiting refugees is not far ahead. Maybe we can get some food when we get there.”

Upon hearing this father-daughter conversation, an old man holding a hammer, walking behind the caravan, sighed: “Alas! I hope there won’t be any mishaps this time. We used to have more than thirty people. Now only twelve are left. We can’t afford to lose any more!”

“Indeed! Let’s pray that the princess graces us with a safe journey!” The robust man shut his eyes and prayed devoutly.

But at that moment, he suddenly smelled a strong aroma.

Upon identification, it was the aroma of meat soup!

“Am I hallucinating out of hunger?” He was in disbelief.

He opened his eyes and looked at the other people around him: “Do you smell anything?”

“I smell it. It’s the smell of meat soup!” The old man from earlier was swallowing frantically, his eyes fixated on the distance ahead.

Others also began to smell the aroma of the meat soup, their stomachs making ravenous sounds. They hadn’t eaten for two or three days!

“Never mind, let’s go check it out!” The old man gripped his hammer tightly and began advancing swiftly towards the source of the aroma, guided by his intense hunger.

Seeing someone take the initiative, the rest of the refugees hurriedly followed.

“Ah…” The robust man wanted to calm everyone down. After all, they were in the wilderness, and the soup might be cooked by a high-ranking adventurer.

If it was truly made by a high-ranking adventurer, not only would they fail to get any, but they might end up slaughtered!

But no amount of reason mattered in the face of extreme hunger.

The man could only grip the short sword in his hand, moving the caravan forward along with the group.

Parting a clump of bushes, the refugees arrived at a clearing in the forest.

But, what they saw left them stunned!

They observed two huge iron pots in the clearing from where the aroma of meat soup wafted continuously.

Near the iron pots, several people stood. One of them, a young man, walked towards them upon their arrival.

“Hello everyone, I am Nemesis, the lord of Aphi Village. It’s my territory that is recruiting refugees.”

“I won’t beat around the bush. You all must be hungry, right?”

The refugees nodded frantically.

“Jenny, Wendy, serve them each a bowl of soup, make sure to add more meat!”

Su Yu turned around to instruct, then he looked at the refugees again: “You are all welcome to settle down in my territory. I can’t guarantee much else, but you will definitely have enough to eat and wear!”

“Thank you; thank you, my lord!” The refugees were tremendously moved.

Many of them couldn’t believe what was happening as they received the soup.

They thought that after coming to Aphi Village, the lord would, at most, give them some leftover black bread.

But to their surprise, the lord had cooked them two pots of steaming hot meat soup and served them quite a bit of meat!

It felt as though they’d stepped into heaven!

“My lord, I, Moke, pledge my loyalty to you!”

After feeding his daughter the soup, the stout man who had led the refugees knelt on one knee, pledging his loyalty to Su Yu. His loyalty surged, reaching a score of 93!

The loyalty of the refugees wasn’t a meaningless attribute. If it fell below 50, the refugees might leave the territory, which would lead to a population decline.

The higher the loyalty, the more enthusiastic the refugees would be in their work. A score of 93 could potentially increase their work enthusiasm by 36%.

“We too!” The other refugees knelt and pledged their loyalty to Su Yu one after another.

“Very good! Everyone, please get up!”

Su Yu looked at the refugees in front of him with satisfaction.

What delighted him most was the number of refugees. He had managed to recruit twelve in one go!

Normally, a village level territory would only spawn 3 or 4 refugees every two hours; the number this time was three or four times the usual amount!

Perhaps this is the benefit of prosperity and perfect livability!

With this trend, he only needs one or two days for his territory to accumulate 200 people and upgrade to a [Medium-sized Village].

Aside from the number of refugees, Su Yu also noticed that the quality of this group of refugees was quite good!

The majority of the refugees were farmers and hunters, but among the 12 refugees, there were three talents.

The strong Moke who was leading them is a warrior type talent.

[Moke]

Occupation: Warrior

Characteristic: [Defensive Stance]: All attributes +20% when defending against enemy attacks

His daughter is a magic type talent.

[Kathy]

Occupation: None

Characteristic: [Elemental Sensitivity]: Meditation Efficiency +35%

And the old man carrying a hammer, he’s a carpenter.

[Brooke]

Occupation: Carpenter

Characteristic: [Wood-Stone Construction]: Specializes in constructing wood and stone houses, can slightly increase the territory’s prosperity.

The probability of a talent appearing among the refugees is 10%, but this time, three appeared at once, which made Su Yu very satisfied!

Especially, the old carpenter Brooke. In the early stage, when most houses are made of wood and stone, he will play a key role in the development of the territory and deserves attention!

“Kole.”

“I am here, sir!” Kole, the steward, ran over and bowed before Su Yu.

“Remember, if any more refugees want to join us in the future, treat them the same as we treated these ones today. Prepare large pots of meat soup and give everyone some clothes. Don’t neglect any residents, got it?”

“Understood! I will do as you say!” Steward Kole responded immediately.

The recruitment of refugees was pretty much over with this.

Next, Su Yu and the other players allocated residences to these refugees.

Each residence could house up to five residents.

However, overcrowded living quarters could breed crime and lead to a decline in the population.

Considering both the decrease in crime rate and improvement in livability, it is most suitable to have three residents per residence.

As for old carpenter Brooke, Su Yu didn’t arrange for him to live in a residence.

As soon as he arrived in the village, he was bought at a high price (100 spiritual energy coins per day) to work on the construction site, replacing Robert to become the chief architect of the territory.

Outside the residential area of his territory, Su Yu handed the plan he just drew to Swift:”Swift, from now on, the territory will develop according to the plan. The map marks where the residential, commercial and entertainment areas are. I might not be around for some time, so please take good care of the territory!”

“Alright.” Swift received the plan and looked it over, but quickly realized something was off: “Wait, Mr. Chairman, you won’t be in the territory? Where are you going?”

“Of course, I’m going out to complete tasks!”

Su Yu pointed at a patch of [Farmland] to the south of the territory, and said: “There are still plenty of blueprints of buildings, wonders, rare crops waiting for me to obtain outside, like the one on the field right now.”

This [Farmland] patch, built using 60 units of wood, covers approximately 666 square meters.

But this [Farmland] didn’t have wheat, instead, it only held one crop — a [Sunflower].

Now the [Sunflower] has fully matured, its golden crown swaying back and forth towards the sun.

There’s a big smiley face on the crown of the [Sunflower], constantly twisting its body and leaves towards the sun, appearing somewhat peculiar.
