"It's really difficult." Lin Feng shook his head slightly.
No matter how much he thought, the north was still better than other directions.
"Here, take axes and clear as many trees as possible in the north. Also ask other men to return and help you with this," he instructed.
The ten subjects did not refuse and hurriedly went to call others.
"Fang Wei, keep an eye on the monster activity near the water source. I want to know which types of monsters are there."
"Understood, lord."
After sending everyone away, Lin Feng glanced at the map once again.
What he really feared was not monsters but the dense fog near his territory.
However, pondering over it was useless.
"It's time to build huts."
He shook off his thoughts and started to mark an area on the map.
There were a lot of things he needed to consider, especially roads, empty spaces, future shops, markets, and so on.
He did not hesitate and started drawing a rough outline. However, it was harder than he thought; he was erasing and drawing again and again.
Time passed silently and he became completely engrossed, unaware that someone was standing beside him looking at the well-drawn outline.
"Lord, is this how you plan to develop territory?" Su Luli finally couldn't help but ask.
Lin Feng was surprised that she was here; nonetheless, he nodded.
"Yes, this is a rough outline but there are still many things that need to be thought over. By the way, how did your search go?" he inquired.
Hearing this, Su Luli's face fell.
"I didn't find anything useful," she replied with disappointment.
Lin Feng was not surprised by this. The drops were low so it made sense for resources to be scarce.
"Let's go; it's time for everyone to rest," he said.
Su Luli did not refuse and followed him.
It was already evening, but everyone was still chopping trees.
"Lord"
As soon as they saw Lin Feng, they all bowed.
"You can stop now," he replied and glanced at the resources they had collected.
Most of it was wood, with a count of two hundred and fifty units.
One tree was equivalent to five to ten units of wood, which meant they chopped more than forty trees in such a short time.
There were also thirty units of stones, twenty units of wild berries; and a few units of clay.
Lin Feng did not hesitate and put them inside his system space.
[Ding! Detected Wood*250, Stones*30, Wild Berry*20 and Clay*3]
[Replicating… replication successful]
[Obtained Wood*2,500,000, Stones*300,000, Wild Berry*200,000 and Clay*30,000]
Looking at two million units of wood, Lin Feng was satisfied.
Now he didn't have to worry about wood shortage for a long time.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He did not waste time anymore and started building simple huts.
There were a total of twenty-seven subjects in his territory, which meant twenty-seven simple huts needed to be built.
If it was anyone, they would question reality.
Where would they get so many blueprints after all?
They can certainly choose to build it themselves, but it will take a lot of time, and on top of that, it won't be as good as if it were built with a blueprint.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As Lin Feng continued to build, everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Fang Wei and Su Luli, who could be considered of high status, hadn't seen such a spectacle.
Although instantly building through a blueprint was not rare, it was not common either.
Crafting a blueprint took time, and it also had a failure rate.
So most of the time buildings were constructed manually.
Only someone like Lin Feng could pull out such a thing.
"Hmm… finally finished."
Looking at the thirty simple wooden huts built with joint washrooms, Lin Feng felt pleased.
His hard work of planning roads, footpaths, and such did not go to waste.
Everything looked neat and clean.
"Lord is mighty!"
"Long live the lord!"
The twenty subjects started shouting with excitement.
Their loyalty is increasing by every second.
Su Luli and Fang Wei did not shout, but their loyalty and admiration for their lord increased.
"Except for these seven huts, you are free to choose others." Lin Feng pointed at the seven huts that were close to his lord's house.
They will belong to Fang Wei, Su Luli, and others.
The subjects did not display any dissatisfaction and hurriedly decided on their homes.
Yes for them such a simple hut was home.
"We thank the lord for granting us home."
"Lord, if you need us to do anything, please let us know."
"Yes, we can still work."
They all forgot about their tiredness and started to request work.
Seeing their devotion, Lin Feng was almost tempted, but finally he decided to let them rest.
There was no need to hurry about small things.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just then five figures stepped out of the training barracks.
"Lord, we have disappointed you," Zhong Yu spoke with a disheartened look.
Clearly they all failed the training and could not acquire skills.
Lin Feng had long expected this so he was not surprised by such results.
"There is no need to worry. You can try again tomorrow," he stated and before they could refuse, he pointed at five huts.
"It's almost night; go and choose your home," he declared with a stern look, clearly showing he won't accept any reasons.
Zhong Yu and others could only smile wryly before bowing to him and deciding on huts.
Since it was almost night, Lin Feng took out lighters, wood, and bedding for everyone.
Don't mistake his actions as kindness.
He was just worried they might get sick because of the cold. He didn't have any healers or medicines so it would be troublesome.
Especially since if it were some viral infection, everyone would be affected.
After this he distributed food and water, which was one unit of roasted rabbit meat and a bottle of water per person.
Instantly after that everyone's loyalty rose by a few points again.
Lin Feng was pleased after seeing this.
In the regional channel, many lords were complaining about the decrease in loyalty of subjects.
Some subjects even left their territory.
Compared to them, he was doing far better. Well, he has system mommy with him after all.
