listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit, Edward was indeed his lucky star!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, when Cao Xing had the sudden notion to bring this down-and-out painter back to his territory, it was due to his advanced painting mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he hadn’t anticipated was that Edward would also bring a powerful demon to the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This demon then dropped two epic-level items for Cao Xing, significantly boosting both his and Renice’s strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistance could be considered immense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, only Cao Xing had the power to deal with the demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been any other survivors or factions, they wouldn’t have been able to handle that creature even if it appeared—they might have been completely wiped out by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this made Cao Xing feel even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, I have a task for you now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward immediately straightened up, then respectfully said, \"Lord, please tell me, I will do my utmost to complete it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing smiled and said, \"It’s not a difficult task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to sketch out the layout of our territory’s buildings; how long will that take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The painter pondered for a moment and then said, \"Reporting to Lord, I need to first conduct a survey from a higher vantage point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it shouldn’t take long, probably about ten minutes to complete the drawing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded upon hearing this. \"Alright, you go ahead then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rest of you, head to the cafeteria for breakfast first, then await my orders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exchanged glances upon hearing this, all seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins exclaimed happily, \"Haha, great, it’s breakfast time again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, we’ve lived for decades and had never heard of what breakfast was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The life of those living in this territory is simply too blissful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of Polar People proudly said, \"Of course, our Lord is both considerate of subordinates and kind yet powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are lucky to have come to this territory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins agreed, \"By the Earth Cave God, I very much agree with what this Polar person said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, if we had met the Lord earlier, it would have been much better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phimos, I suggest we send someone back to the Southern Continent to bring the other laborers over to serve the Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ramos, you idiot, the distance between us and the Southern Continent is at least several Earth Dragons long, you’d run yourself to death before you made it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the goblins chattering away, the crowd gradually dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Edward quickly climbed up a distant watchtower to observe the territory’s terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took out a drawing board and brush, earnestly beginning to sketch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once entering the working state, the painter’s demeanor was unprecedentedly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frequently glanced at the buildings below, sometimes wielding his brush with swift movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the earlier dispirited look, it was as if he had become a different person altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing and Liu Muxue stood below, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Edward climbed down from the watchtower and quickly ran to another watchtower at the edge of the territory to sketch the terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending about twenty minutes in total,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward went to four different watchtowers, sketching each locale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathless, he ran over and said, \"My Lord, my Lady, it’s all finished, please take a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hands appeared four large sheets of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sheet depicted a corner of Cao Xing’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When laid out and pieced together, they formed a complete map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Edward’s artistry was excellent, nearly a one-to-one recreation of the territory’s buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, one could identify which building it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing praised, \"Edward, well done, your painting skills are superb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue next to him also smiled and gave a word of praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving their compliments, Edward felt an immense sense of honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he stood up straight and respectfully said, \"Thank you, Lord and Lady, for your acknowledgment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing and Liu Muxue observed the drawings Edward had created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the longer they looked, the more their brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when viewed with the naked eye, they hadn’t noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, seeing all the buildings laid out on paper, Cao Xing realized just how disorderly his territory’s layout was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his territory was a circle with a one-kilometer diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And developed gradually, many buildings were built temporarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Cao Xing acquired new blueprints, like the King Altar or Knight Hall, he would just construct them on any available plot of land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When newcomers arrived in the territory and needed a batch of new residential homes, they would similarly be built behind these structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the territory’s buildings lacked any specific planning, varying in height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made them appear chaotic and disordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Cao Xing, but apart from a few survivors’ lords with a touch of OCD, this chaotic state was common to most people’s territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reconstructing or redesigning would require a lot of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Cao Xing said, \"Muxue, I want to expand the territory’s diameter from one kilometer to two kilometers, what do you think should be the plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue considered briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beautiful eyes gazed at the distant buildings, contemplating something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing stood by quietly, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, planning an entire territory was no simple task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expanding from one kilometer to two was quadrupling the land area to a small town’s scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plethora of buildings could be accommodated within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planning these structures while accounting for future development was a mentally taxing endeavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After approximately three to four minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue seemed to have an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up a brush, circled the center of Edward’s drawing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Based on what you told me last night, the Melting Furnace and Lord Mansion can’t be moved or demolished,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, those two buildings are the core of the entire territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s expand from these two as the center, delineating second, third, and fourth ring areas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within these, further subdivide into residential, industrial, and agricultural zones...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, ensure to leave enough space for a battle zone or training grounds...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liu Muxue spoke, she continued supplementing with details she had considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she fully tapped into her urban planning expertise, her demeanor solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The residential zone includes the subjects’ dining and living spaces, requiring a relatively quiet environment. Hence, I propose building it in the second ring outside the Territory Mansion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then in the third ring, I recommend placing the Knight Hall, Warrior Camp, King Altar, and similar structures here, reserving more open space to facilitate future constructions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next is the industrial zone. Some noise-intensive structures like the Mechanical Factory, Ore Sorting Plant, and Logging Factory should be established away from the residential area, approximately around the periphery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she explained, Liu Muxue began to circle on the map repeatedly, noting the positions within these circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Additionally, farming fields and cowsheds need to be separately allocated a distinct area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Pale Tree and the back garden don’t need relocation, just keep them as is, meanwhile reserving several spots here as administrative centers for the territory town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reserve open areas in the second and third rings for emergency housing to address population surges.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she continued to draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, the map on the ground was filled with various circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until approximately twenty minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue finally completed her vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing looked at the ground map, covered with various patterns and words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Edward next to him and asked, \"Do you understand my wife’s idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward nodded eagerly, \"I understand, Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me ten minutes, and I’ll illustrate the Lord’s wife’s vision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this talent, possessing [Advanced Painting Mastery], once again began to display his talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish... swish...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he rolled out another sheet of paper on the ground, then, while glancing at the zones Liu Muxue circled, he lavishly painted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1314,"2026-05-28T19:24:16.724Z","2026-06-01T04:28:50.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee5cca531ff57d4e670b592565d7d7ba7ee927ca51cdb91caf690a02afa6de0e","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-798","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-796",1544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-cover.jpg"]
