New Points! The Beginning of a Massive Infrastructure Project! (Two-in-One)

In modern society, resources can often give a poor place the opportunity to take off immediately.

Investment, factory construction, buildings rising from the ground, and consumption promotion and upgrading.

Under various measures, the word "resources" is mentioned.

Most people stared wide-eyed with excitement, wishing they could join in.

But actually...

This magnificent scene is only possible because of the strong modern industrial capabilities.

Just like the Coal Mine in Black Stone Camp, if it weren't for the Dwarf Race' initial investment in building the mining channels...

Otherwise, obtaining more than two tons of coal would be extremely difficult, especially for Coal Mine that are often buried more than thirty meters underground.

Extremely difficult!

Sitting atop the hill, I examined all the resources listed in the game one by one.

After the initial excitement, Su Mo gradually calmed down.

Of the twelve resources, few can be used immediately to change the territory's environment.

Land, trees, grasslands, and Freshwater Lake were lifelines, finally providing habitable conditions for this area, unlike before.

The three animal resources, yaks and sheep, will not be an asset to the territory in the near future.

On the contrary, these animals, like the Coolie Lizard, become major consumers of resources, requiring large amounts of food to feed them every day.

Only when these animals give birth to offspring will they be able to generate some initial profits.

The other item, carp, numbered a considerable 2,000.

But the awkward thing is...

With the long winter fast approaching, carp will not spawn in water temperatures like these.

It will take at least three to five months before the fish are harvested.

As for the remaining three mineral categories, Copper Mine, tungsten, and Hot Stone Mine are all buried deep underground, making them quite difficult to mine.

The tungsten ore is located 40 meters underground and is a mineral that cannot be mined at present.

The Copper Mine is evenly distributed at a depth of 20 meters or more, and digging with diamonds can solve the immediate problem.

The Hot Stone Mine, which is the easiest to mine, is simple; it is found starting from five meters underground.

However, this thing is extremely scattered.

The fifty tons of hot stones were distributed between 5 and 100 meters apart, covering an area of more than thirty kilometers.

Before a corresponding detector is made, even if all the villagers are mobilized to mine for several days, the harvest will be extremely meager.

"If you calculate it this way, the one that can be immediately utilized and significantly improve the living environment of residents is actually this Fruit Tree Mountain in the distance."

Standing up, looking at the lush green mountains at the end of his vision, Su Mo shook the water off his umbrella. Although he said this, the pressure in his heart was completely gone.

The presence of trees means that everyone's shelter can be initially guaranteed.

With land available, the cold-resistant plant seeds harvested from the marine ruins can be planted immediately.

With fruit from the Fruit Tree Mountain, everyone can get plenty of vitamins.

The presence of yaks, sheep, and carp signifies that the territory possesses resources for sustainable development.

And there are three major mines: tungsten, iron, Copper Mine.

For a long time to come, even if the borders of the territory are blocked, we will be able to be self-sufficient!

In other words, the twelve resources have completely lifted the territory out of its previous barrenness.

It possesses potential no less than most places on this New Continent! Taking a few deep breaths, standing atop the peak, facing the drizzling rain, Su Mo's mind stirred once more.

This time, however, he summoned not a game, but a mysterious system.

After a delay of more than half an hour, when Su Mo saw the golden envelope again, although he was excited, he was able to suppress his overflowing excitement.

With a focused thought, a gentle touch is made.

A dazzling light burst forth from the System Panel, transforming it into a somewhat familiar panel, but with completely different content! [Doomsday Calendar April 3rd - Sunday - Last Day]

[Lord]: Su Mo (Host) [Territory Status]: Barren and desolate land with nothing, unsuitable for long-term survival of living beings. Developing here is tantamount to naturally embarking on hell mode.

[Territory Area]: 150 square kilometers (not small, but not large either; you have enough living space, but no strategic depth) [Territory Resources]: Iron ore, oil, high-temperature steam (possesses basic industrial development resources, but severely lacks plant and animal resources to sustain life) [Territory Potential]: 0.15 (Current continental average 9.69, highest value 1489.67)

[Weather Forecast]: Tomorrow, light rain turning to Moderate Rain within the territory, temperature 12~29 degrees Celsius, northwest wind, force 2 (large temperature difference, it is recommended to prepare extra clothes in case of catching a cold). [Citizens]: 1405 (Expand+)

[Citizen Loyalty]: 100% (Stable loyalty means that your policies will not encounter any resistance)

[Citizens' Attitude]: Pessimistic (More than 70% of your citizens are pessimistic about the future development of your territory. They believe that it will be difficult to develop and nurture a great human civilization on this "torn" land.)

[Citizens' Health]: Very Poor (72% of citizens have a health score of 40-50, 14% have a health score of 50-60, 11% have a health score of 60-70, 3% have a health score greater than 70)

[Citizens' Work Efficiency]: 26% (Most people have low daily work efficiency due to insufficient rest time and health warnings, making it difficult for them to fully concentrate on their work) [Citizens' Needs]: Housing, meat, hot baths

[Leadership Tip]: Appropriately meeting their needs will significantly improve work efficiency.

[Economy]: Zero (Your territory has no trading allies, no internal trading policies, and all citizens are still in the most primitive barter system.) [Technology]: Zero (Your territory has no technologies under research.)

[Medical Care]: Zero (There is no related medical equipment or dedicated doctors; when people in the area fall ill, they can only leave it to fate).

[Law Code]: Extremely poor (General rules cannot fully bind every individual).

[Architecture]: Zero (There are no buildings at all; this is a temporary gathering place devoid of culture and daily life)

[Level of Civilization]: Primitive Era (Promotion Conditions: Not Met) [The Sound Brought by the Wind]: "The director lives in a safe underground shelter and eats delicious private meals, while we can only live in tents and eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables. Although I know it's wrong to think this way, we agreed to eat and live together, and now they've broken their promise!"

"That damned human, Su Mo, destroyed our underground transport tunnels through a scheme. Once we find his location, we must find a way to destroy his territory and make him pay tenfold or a hundredfold!"

"The price of the Honeydew Grass that the Moon Wolf Race gave us has dropped again today. They're only giving us half a New Coin per kilogram. This won't do. Tomorrow we have to take down these Earth Dog Race are supplying us in large quantities. Their malicious market disruption is disgusting."

[Points Acquisition Rating]: Excellent (Expand +)

Whoosh! Unlike the previous daily report panel, dozens of message options popped up as soon as Su Mo opened it.

From the basic attributes of the territory, to the various options for its inhabitants, and finally to the development of the territory.

The information provided by the system was far more detailed than Su Mo had anticipated.

"The daily report arrives at 8:00 AM. I hadn't used any resource cards by then, so the territory status shouldn't have refreshed yet."

Although I know that the territory I previously occupied was garbage.

But looking at the various evaluations given by the system, even though there was no one in front of him, Su Mo still smiled sheepishly.

Let's continue reading.

Upon noticing the two items, Territory Potential and weather forecast, Su Mo immediately became interested.

"My territory has vast oil fields and iron ore deposits, yet I only managed to get a potential score of 0.15. Of course, this might be related to the fact that the land is completely unsuitable for cultivation, but the highest potential score of 1,400 is outrageous!"

1400 and 0.15 are more than nine thousand times different.

Although we cannot use nine thousand times the amount of oil to consider the strongest place in this New Continent.

From this number, Su Mo could barely deduce the difference between his upgraded territory and the opponent's.

Even the best estimates still show a difference of hundreds of times, or even more! "It seems the alien race has really gone all out this time, otherwise the average and the highest values simply wouldn't make sense. But it doesn't matter, having so many resources doesn't mean they can develop them immediately!"

"But the weather... it's actually going to Moderate Rain moderately tomorrow, which isn't good news!"

Lost in thought, Su Mo felt a slight headache coming on as he considered the territory where large-scale infrastructure construction was about to take place. He couldn't come up with a good solution and could only continue reading.

"The 100% loyalty isn't surprising, and the attitude is normal, but the health and efficiency are just too poor!"

Before eight o'clock, if it weren't for the system, the twelve resource cards, and confidence in the future...

Even Su Mo himself felt a deep sense of powerlessness when facing this land.

The fact that the villagers can maintain a pessimistic attitude rather than a desperate one is probably thanks to last night's Coal Mine, which brought about this change.

Furthermore, considering that most people were not in good health before they came to the wasteland, and after three months of wandering, they didn't know where their next meal would come from.

Health status has become a major problem.

"House, meat, and hot showers—these are basically the most basic necessities for survival."

"If you want to be satisfied."

"It's not difficult!"

Compared to the inability to develop the territory, solving the villagers' livelihood is a necessity.

After memorizing the information in the tips, Su Mo looked at the large entry at the bottom.

Economy, technology, healthcare, and construction—all four are at zero.

The legal code, relying on the wartime regulations previously promulgated on the ship, barely managed to get by in a very poor state.

The level of civilization cannot be upgraded for the time being because there are no wonders that meet the requirements.

"The sound of the wind?"

"What's this?"

Discovering that he could click on each sentence, Su Mo tried clicking on them.

The next second, a leisurely voice began to slowly ring in my ears.

"Is that... Hu Ren's voice?"

In an instant, Su Mo's powerful memory identified the owner of the voice.

Hu Ren.

An A-level talent within the territory, skilled in calculations, and an elite auditing professional adept at navigating the workplace.

He's usually a quiet person, doesn't talk much, and seems very honest.

After clicking to play the audio again, Su Mo fell silent.

Hu Ren seemed simple-minded, but unexpectedly, he harbored so many grievances.

"The excitement of returning home yesterday, coupled with my sister's arrival, made me forget to reassure these newcomers at this crucial moment."

"If Dad were here, he definitely wouldn't have done such a thing. It seems I'm still a bit too young!"

In terms of management talent, Su Mo's experience comes entirely from extensive summarization.

Soon, realizing the mistake he had made, Su Mo nodded slightly and pointed to the second utterance.

The owner of the voice was a deep, resonant baritone with a very magnetic voice.

Furthermore, he spoke the same standard Mandarin as the Dwarf Polly, clearly indicating that he was a foreigner who had acquired a language.

"An underground transport tunnel? Could last night's explosion have detonated this tunnel?"

Let's think about it briefly.

Su Mo guessed roughly what had happened.

Ignoring the lukewarm threat behind him, Su Mo listened again and then pointed to the last point.

The owner of this message is a woman, and surprisingly, the voice doesn't sound unfamiliar.

It was Feng Mengyue, whom he hadn't spoken to for a long time since the transaction! In the first transaction with Feng Mengyue, Su Mo obtained ventilation glass for the Underground Shelter.

The second time was during a live broadcast of disaster relief efforts during a blizzard, when Feng Mengyue spoke up for him, thus forging a positive connection.

But since then, the two have had no contact whatsoever.

Unexpectedly, two months later, Su Mo heard the voice of this old acquaintance in a new feature derived from the system.

"Moon Wolf Race? Earth Dog Race? Honeydew Grass? New Coin?"

"It seems the relationship between humans and other races isn't as tense as I imagined; rather, it appears many other races are engaged in large-scale trade!"

Remembering the term "New Coin," which clearly indicates it's a form of money, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction after gaining a wealth of information.

If this new feature allows the wind to bring sounds, it can bring back three messages every day.

If this continues, even if the low-lying area is temporarily isolated from the world, Su Mo will still be able to grasp basic information about the outside world and won't be completely clueless.

This is brilliant! "It seems that the last remaining item is a simplified version of the Survival Points acquisition process. Now that it's all integrated, it's much more convenient!"

Many more practical functions have been added.

Regarding the remaining Survival Points, Su Mo was able to remain calm after seeing the excellent rating.

With a gentle click to expand, as the page unfolded again, a slow smile appeared on Su Mo's lips.

You have successfully survived three months in the apocalypse, setting a new record for your lifespan (Survival Points +1000)

In this apocalyptic world, you have acquired a territory of your own, which brings you a sense of peace (Survival Points +5000)

[You are a wise lord. Your people's loyalty to you has reached an unprecedented 100%, which is the ultimate pursuit of every lord (Survival Points +3500)]

You now possess over 5% authority, transforming from a pawn to a player with some "voice." Your status and situation have undergone a dramatic change. This may seem like a small step, but it's a giant leap for the future (Survival Points +5000; Territory Points +2)

[Milestone: Billionaire (Unlocks the system's billionaire-level features, but because it wasn't unlocked normally, this achievement reward is locked)]

[Milestone: Thousand-Man Commander (Your commander has more than 1,000 subjects; Survival Points +1000)]

[Milestone: Private Territory (Within this territory, your sovereignty is sacred and inviolable; Survival Points +1000)]

[Milestone: Alien Slayer (Cumulative kills of over 10 million aliens (including indirect actions); +20 Blue Survival Points)]

[Milestone: Extraterrestrial Visitor (Reached one million meters in altitude; Blue Survival Points +15)]

[Milestone: Alien (Cumulative travel distance exceeds 500,000 kilometers; Blue Survival Points +25)]

[Scanning host territory status, Territory Points assessment in progress, 0.3 Territory Points gained today]

[Final Calculation]: White Survival Points +41500; Blue Survival Points +60; Territory Points +7.3 [Remaining Survival Points]: White Survival Points: 44456;... and some other minor features added in the system update.

On this record panel, Su Mo also saw a different reward than before.

First, the daily Survival Points given based on the shelter's status have been changed to updated Territory Points.

At the Survival Points, there are further distinctions between white and blue.

It looked complicated, but after clicking on the prompt next to it, Su Mo fully understood the meaning in less than five seconds.

Three milestones, which are very difficult to achieve.

The first achievement was accomplished by killing five ancestral gods, which indirectly led to the death of the previous batch of alien races.

The second and third items were obtained purely by using the psionic rocket to reach the sky.

White Survival Points can only be used to upgrade items, not to any living creatures.

However, these blue Survival Points can intervene in the attributes of creatures to a certain extent, making them extremely powerful.

As for this final Territory Points.

After closing all panels and returning to the upgrade panel, the previously locked Territory Upgrade was indeed no longer locked by a large black padlock, indicating that it could be entered.

I clicked straight in and only looked at the first upgrade option.

Su Mo clenched his fist excitedly and exclaimed, "Damn, this Territory Points can actually change the weather! This is awesome!"
