Chapter 538: Chapter 342: Mass Recruitment of Refugees (4K)_2

u Yuan had anticipated this.

Otherwise, during his last transaction with the Mysterious Merchant, he would have cleared out the entire shelf, rather than forcefully restraining himself from the greed of continued freeloading due to his firm will.

"Thanks to not overspending last time, I can still take out six or seven kinds of 'Epic by-products' that haven't been priced yet, and I still have plenty of money on hand," he said.

"Besides, even the materials like the Feather of Wind King that were priced last time aren't worthless now, they can still make up quite a number of equivalent points. Trading with these materials is still much more cost-effective than investing other treasures."

It was for this reason that Mu Yuan dared to indulge in such extravagant spending. Otherwise, he would at most only buy 'essentials' like the 'Energy Well,' the 'Great Thunder Magnetic Tower,' or the 'Speed Guidance Landmark.'

Uh... it seems that these few essentials have taken up the majority of this purchase.

Mu Yuan asked Duo Lai to quickly make a trip to the Tianyuan Territory and bring the transaction payment.

Soon, money exchanged hands, and the first batch of transactions was completed.

Mu Yuan continued browsing through the merchandise.

Still relying on his strong willpower, he restrained the desire to buy, buy, buy, and merely picked out another dozen items.

These included a Superior Grade two-star Remnant Soul of the power type; a batch of precious crop seeds; two Soldier Recruitment Order tokens; a collection of cultivation items including the remnants of a baptism;

And so on.

Suddenly, Mu Yuan stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on an item that looked rather ordinary and wasn't priced high—a Superior Grade tool.

'Refugee Recruitment Coupon (Superior Grade)'

'Description: Using this item allows one to recruit a large number of refugees within a short time. The specific number of refugees and talents that can be recruited depends on the number and grade of Guiding Landmarks your Miracle Territory possesses.'

'Note: After using the Refugee Recruitment Coupon, the number of refugees that can be naturally recruited by the territory will significantly decrease for a period of time.'

This is why the Refugee Recruitment Coupon, despite being a Superior Grade item, is priced only a little higher than Rare treasures.

It has side effects.

It equates to overextending the potential for recruiting refugees in the territory for a period of time in the future. Of course, it certainly isn't overextending everything.

But Lords generally have no great need for the number of Territory Citizens.

Most of the time, old Lords even find too many destitute refugees attracted to their territories bothersome, and few would complain about having too few refugees.

The only exception...

Mu Yuan thinks there are too few.

He was too eager to progress!

As long as the territory was promoted, the Lord's Power could be upgraded; there was also a chance for Evo-power to be upgraded; the large Thunder Magnetic Coil Towers could breakthrough level 5, gaining more terrifying destructive power; Lu Liu and other officers could also receive a baptism from heaven and earth, ascending to the Fourth-order Peak.

Advancing to level 5 was crucial, and overextending the potential to recruit refugees for a while wasn't an issue at all.

Especially when his Tianyuan Territory was under the oppression of the Monster Overlord.

There were a total of three Refugee Recruitment Coupons on the shelf.

Mu Yuan didn't buy them immediately. He had never heard of such items and lacked specific historical usage data. So, he asked the Mysterious Merchant Qiye for detailed product information.

Facing a big customer like Tianyuan, Qiye naturally didn't hide anything and wouldn't just push sales for the sake of performance.

"The lower limit for this recruitment coupon is three hundred, and the upper limit..."

For every Ordinary Level Guiding Landmark, a hundred more people could be recruited;

For every Rare Level Guiding Landmark, over three hundred more people could be recruited;

For every Superior Grade Guiding Landmark, over a thousand more people could be recruited;

And, currently, he owned two Superior Grade landmarks, five Rare Level landmarks, and... Ordinary Level landmarks...

He'll take a gamble!

Mu Yuan purchased all three recruitment coupons.

He acquired the opportunity to promote his territory to level 5, along with a host of much-needed treasures;

The Mysterious Merchant Qiye got a significant amount of performance, and everyone had a bright future ahead.

Before long, the Mysterious Merchant left, his figure disappearing amidst the vast fog.

Mu Yuan stared at the treasures in his hand, beginning to plan.

He wasn't going to just slap down the three Refugee Recruitment Coupons and be done with it.

"The current gap in the number of Territory Citizens is over fourteen thousand. If things go well, using all three coupons should cover this gap, but..."

"Having over ten thousand refugees flood in in a short time will have a tremendous impact on the territory. If not managed properly, it could lead to major chaos!"

The current volume of his Tianyuan Territory was also just over ten thousand Territory Citizens.

Fortunately, the number of soldiers in his territory outnumbered the Territory Citizens. He currently had over two thousand six hundred elites who had awakened their self-consciousness.

Among them, the minor elites who were not part of the main forces were now undertaking patrol duties within the territory.

Many of the older Territory Citizens could also be called upon to form temporary patrol teams and guiding teams.

However, aside from management, the food and accommodation issues for the newly recruited Territory Citizens also needed to be properly arranged.

Territory City Lord's Mansion.

Dressed in professional attire, Isloa·Persona·Secretary, holding a work notebook, said, "Thanks to our continuous expansion of the territory, we currently have vacant residences that can accommodate more than four thousand Territory Citizens."

"More than four thousand is quite a bit less than more than ten thousand, but our Tianyuan Territory's accommodation standards are always high. If we squeeze a little, our currently vacant residences can accommodate more than thirteen thousand people. After that, if we construct some temporary housing, we will be able to meet the housing needs of the new Territory Citizens."

"As for food, we have a large reserve, and even if the population of Territory Citizens doubled, there would be no pressure. This is also related to the fact that we have not sold any food outside after the territory migration."

After all, there was nowhere to sell it.

And in their Tianyuan Territory, thanks to the presence of Nature Spirits and Flower Fairies, they were streets ahead of other territories in terms of crop cultivation.

Food and shelter were not problems.

It was clothing and daily necessities that the territory reserves were lacking.

Although Mu Yuan did advocate the 996 work ethic, he did not intend to let his Territory Citizens live in slum-like conditions. Isloa felt the same. Otherwise, why would standard accommodations for four thousand people, if squeezed a bit, not be able to accommodate thirteen thousand people? Accommodating forty thousand wouldn't be a problem either.

Since they were his Territory Citizens, he had to take full responsibility.

This was the basic integrity of a Lord.

"Indeed, I am too kind-hearted," he said to himself.

…

Experience the best on _emp _yr.

Mu Yuan quickly delegated the various tasks.

He went to the Secret Realm, spending a large sum of money to purchase a wealth of basic daily necessities.

Lu Liu got to work selecting a group of strong men who were loyal and reliable, and of a certain level, from among the Territory Citizens, to form a public security corps. He also started to gradually set up guiding bases a few kilometers outside the territory.

Isloa was drafting expansion plans; Isloa was setting up a new citizen registration department; Isloa was making financial estimates; Isloa was...

Dead Bone took full responsibility for external wars, to ensure that everything could proceed smoothly during the great recruitment of refugees.

There were no major problems with the big recruitment, but minor issues kept arising.

Mu Yuan constantly traveled back and forth to the Secret Realm, purchasing various types of basic materials, as well as primary and auxiliary materials needed for the construction of Miracle Buildings.

After two days, the treasury of Tianyuan Territory had significantly depleted.

"That should be about enough," he said.

"We don't have too much time to prepare at a leisurely pace," he said.

Mu Yuan used the first Refugee Recruitment Coupon.

Buzz—

'Reminder: You are using a "Refugee Recruitment Coupon (Superior Grade)," in the next 24 hours, a large number of refugees will be guided here.'

'Reminder: ...'

As the reminder sound ended, the Guiding Landmarks standing within and outside the territory walls began to emanate invisible, intangible, and undetectable ripples of laws.

In an instant, they pierced through the world and the universe.

The next moment,

At a certain location outside Tianyuan Territory, thick white mist surged, and after several seconds, more than a dozen disheveled refugees with yellowed faces appeared as the mist gradually dispersed.

Confusion and astonishment were clearly visible on their faces.

"Attention to the 26th Guiding Squad, attention to the 26th Guiding Squad, please immediately proceed to the coordinates (XX, XX) to guide the refugees,"

From the command center, Lu Liu overlooked the entire territory through Hero's Vision, directing operations in an orderly manner.

But this guiding team had just set out when new batches of white mist began to rise in the southern, western, southwestern parts of the territory... Soon, groups of refugees, ranging from a dozen to several dozen in number, appeared one after another.

The vast majority of the refugees were ordinary, without any special skills or attributes—using tiers as a measure, they were below ordinary level.

But not all ordinary refugees were ragged and skinny; they came from different places around the world, with different pasts.

They might have been displaced and wandering in the past.

Now, following an unseen cosmic guidance through the fog, they arrived at their new home.

It was the longing for a stable life deep in their hearts that led them here.

"Among the more than ten thousand Territory Citizens, approximately, a few SR and SSR talents should emerge, right?" Mu Yuan speculated.
