The council chamber at Shenluo headquarters.
The Soyuz Emperor Arthas, adorned in his majestic crown, was receiving the envoy.
However, compared to his attire resembling that of the Shenluo Emperor, Arthas spoke neither German nor Latin, but rather a strange American English that he tried hard to imitate with a London accent.
"I am very pleased that we have reached this cooperation agreement, Mr. Envoy."
Arthas reached out his hand.
On the other side was Liu Huo, the young envoy sent to the Shenluo Alliance.
He comes from the Yanhuang Alliance, whose territory is considered a neighbor of the Shenluo Alliance.
The composed young man, suppressing Arthas's strange accent, shook hands with him as a gesture of goodwill.
I hope our cooperation will be fruitful.
The two parties then signed the treaty on the table together.
Liu Huo stood up, feeling much better.
The mission of this diplomatic mission can be considered complete.
On the table is a treaty between the two parties for the exchange of lords.
In the Lord Game, the territory location assigned to new players is random, which often results in new players' territories appearing in the territory of a certain alliance, and being surrounded as soon as they are born.
Unless such players happen to be from the same clan or tribe as the alliance surrounding them, they generally won't survive past the first day after the newbie period.
However, every player is an important reserve force for their respective alliance, and every effort should be made to save them.
Therefore, a treaty for the exchange of lords came into being.
When a foreign lord appears within your territory, you can inform the corresponding ethnic alliance and have them use an item to relocate the foreign lord's territory, leaving behind a reward.
This is the most basic trading method.
Once the treaty was concluded, Liu Huo provided several coordinates, all belonging to white lords similar to the Shenluo Alliance, whose territories were located in the heart of their alliance's sphere of influence, like several nails.
The Shenluo Alliance also handed over several coordinates.
However, while Liu Huo was still discussing with Arthas...
Several lords whose territory bordered Derek's suddenly burst in.
" Derek's territory has just become unclaimed!"
" Derek has definitely been murdered!"
Two loud-voiced lords, dressed in Rome- style toga robes and exuding a cosplay vibe, shouted directly at Arthas.
Arthas gave Liu Huo an apologetic look, somewhat embarrassed.
Liu Huo smiled knowingly, "Then let's stop here for today. I'm going to see my compatriots."
After saying that, he calmly left with his subordinates.
But as I passed by those lords, I overheard their whispers.
" Derek died while patrolling the seas; he must have been eaten by a sea monster!"
How should we divide the buildings and residents he left behind?
I want his military camp!
Such things are quite common, whether it's the sudden death of a lord or the ruthless division of spoils by allies after his death.
Liu Huo didn't think much of it and just laughed it off.
On an island.
Zhang Tianyuan was still looking at the construction requirements in the Level 1 Design Institute Blueprint:
"The base requires 300,000 tons of energy, 9,000 tons of steel, 30,000 tons of cement, 100 tons of timber, and 30 tons of stone. Construction will take 60 days..."
No wonder that lord kept this blueprint all this time.
Such consumption was far beyond the capacity of people like them who were still operating wooden boats.
And that lord probably hasn't even managed to produce cement yet, right?
I have no idea how he got his hands on that blueprint.
Zhang Tianyuan became curious again about how the blueprints were obtained.
But now is not the time to explore this.
He only planned to come back for half a day, and now it's almost time for his agreed return.
Whenever he is not present, the members of the Mutual Aid Society in both timelines always feel a little uneasy.
Zhang Tianyuan whistled, forgetting about the territory left behind by the lord, and slowly walked back to the control room with his weapon in hand.
What's the point of conquering a territory whose productivity level is definitely still stuck in ancient times?
After being ventilated for a while, the sour smell in the control room subsided somewhat.
Zhang Tianyuan sat back down at the main console and activated two newly enabled functions on the system panel: Xxs-②
[Government Affairs Management]
[Resident Management]
Both of these features are unlocked after the area has residents.
However, he hadn't returned to the island since he acquired residents, so these two functions were only officially activated now.
Zhang Tianyuan opened the system instructions and read them word by word, quickly understanding how to use the two functions.
In the government affairs management module, he can delegate some of his permissions to certain residents.
For example, the logistics manager who oversees the base's supplies.
Once he has this permission
Once delegated, the logistics director can do the same as him, by handling supplies and storing unclaimed materials in the base warehouse, and will have the authority to approve the use of supplies.
In addition to the logistics manager, there is also the construction manager who manages the territory's buildings, and the administrative manager who is equivalent to the base's second-in-command and can manage a little bit of everything.
As the base level increases and new buildings are constructed, positions such as Medical Director and Military Director will be gradually opened up, and the number of people who can be appointed will also increase.
As for [Resident Management], it is a function similar to household registration records, which allows users to query information on all residents within the territory with a single click.
From age and education to work experience, all non-private public information can be accessed.
This feature allows lords to gain a relatively comprehensive understanding of the strength of their territory, thereby enabling them to formulate appropriate strategies.
Looking at these two functions, Zhang Tianyuan pondered for a while.
For him, the most useful function now is undoubtedly that of logistics manager.
If he delegates this authority, the preparation of resources for the migration in the "2012" timeline will be much easier, and many resources can be directly put into the system warehouse.
The only downside is that the warehouse can only store basic materials recognized by the system, such as various ores, timber, stone, and grain.
Industrial products such as various large, medium, and small equipment and machine tools that have undergone precision machining cannot be stored.
However, this is just a minor, harmless flaw.
The function of storing ores alone is enough.
Once the Spacetime Tunnel opened again, Zhang Tianyuan plunged in and subsequently appeared inside the protective shelter in the "2012" timeline.
As is customary, a greeting call from the top management of "2012" came quickly.
Zhang Tianyuan got straight to the point.
"My purpose in coming here is to appoint a logistics manager in your timeline to help you gather the relocated supplies."
The old man with the buzz cut on the other end of the phone almost thought this was Zhang Tianyuan's forceful interference with them, before he remembered that there was no logistics manager position on his side at all.
Out of caution, he asked one more question, "The logistics manager?"
"Hmm," Zhang Tianyuan said, "The person with this appointment can use my Spacetime Warehouse..."
Suddenly.
The old man with the buzz cut recalled the time when Zhang Tianyuan made a batch of wood disappear into thin air when he built the "school".
