Chapter 1873

Next... let's take a quick look at her territory and military strength.

Li Ruanyu's 5 territories have a combined population of over 400,000.

The vast majority are human.

But there are also quite a few other races.

【Giant Beastfolk】500

【Giants】800

【Strong Beastfolk】2,500

【Beastfolk】6,800

Some are slave laborers, some are territorial citizens — not quite the same.

But they're all laborers.

Laborers, huh...

Really suits the bill.

Zhao Chi's gene 【over-limit load】 actually comes from the Giant Beastfolk.

For Li Ruanyu to capture 500 of them to work for her is quite impressive.

Giant Beastfolk stand 4-6 meters tall, with bulky, obese builds — like bloated little hills.

But they possess tremendous strength and an extremely high load-bearing capacity.

They can be likened to heavy machinery, heavy trailers, heavy-duty trucks.

Except they also eat an enormous amount — they're all big rice buckets.

Truly big rice buckets.

But for Li Ruanyu, raising 500 of them is still no problem.

800 Giants is also quite a few.

Giants also stand 4-5 meters tall, but they're very thin.

Their movement speed is much faster than the Giant Beastfolk.

Although their strength is far inferior to the Giant Beastfolk, their large frames and long bodies and arms make them somewhat like small-scale cranes.

They also work very well as laborers.

There are also 2,500 Strong Beastfolk.

Strong Beastfolk are only 2.5 meters tall.

Quite a bit shorter than both Giant Beastfolk and Giants.

But Strong Beastfolk have well-proportioned physiques — not as thin and tall as Giants, nor as obese as Giant Beastfolk.

Very much like bodybuilders.

Their whole bodies are big muscles.

Overall quality is quite good.

Strong Beastfolk are actually better suited as heavy infantry — they charge very fiercely.

But it seems Li Ruanyu doesn't want to use them that way, only letting them serve as laborers.

Their labor capacity is of course also very strong.

Finally, there are 6,800 Beastfolk.

These are ordinary Beastfolk.

They stand only about 2 meters tall.

But after all, they're Beastfolk — as laborers they're definitely stronger than humans.

Besides these, Li Ruanyu also has quite a few technical-type exotic races.

7,700 Dwarves, 25,000 Female Elves.

Among them, the vast majority of Dwarves are blacksmiths, and their skills aren't low either.

Dwarves are born with a love for forging and furnaces.

A genuine passion — that's why their forging ability improves very quickly.

They have fiery tempers and love drinking, but they're very serious about their work.

Letting them be blacksmiths suits them well.

Li Ruanyu really does know how to put people to their best use.

There are 25,000 Female Elves, and looking at their professions, most are tailors.

Female Elves have slender, soft, and very nimble fingers — indeed very suited to being tailors.

Moreover, Li Ruanyu's signature skill is also sewing, so she has 25,000 elven female tailors.

Her productivity for leather armor and fashion should be very strong.

Besides these, there are also over a dozen other exotic races.

But their numbers are very small.

The most numerous only number a few hundred, the fewest only a few dozen — all also put to their best use.

But the numbers are too small, not the focus of Zhao Chi's concern.

Interestingly, among them are also nearly 400 Werewolves.

And these Werewolves have very high loyalty or submissiveness.

Could they be traitors among the Werewolves?

All exotic races combined total nearly 50,000.

The remaining 400,000 are all human.

Humans are also Li Ruanyu's primary race.

Since they're the primary race…

Let's look at the genes!

【Gene Improvement List】

【Robust】 Constitution +1

【Brute Force】 Strength +1

【Endless Vitality】 Stamina recovery speed +100%

【Fierce Momentum】 Base Morale +30%

【Myriad Variations】 Accuracy +25%, Evasion +25%

【Strict Discipline】 Command Point cost -50%

Not bad.

Li Ruanyu's humans also have six types of improved genes.

And they're all very practical.

Constitution and Strength both directly increased by 1 point.

These are base attributes.

Being able to add base attributes to the entire population is very worthwhile.

Zhao Chi also really wants to roll this kind of gene, but still hasn't yet.

Endless Vitality is also great — it increases stamina recovery speed by 100%. Whether fighting or working, aside from short bursts of intense exertion, they'll almost never get tired.

Fierce Momentum is equally good.

Zhao Chi's Inspire technique can only increase morale by 20%, but this gene directly raises their base morale by 30%. Their morale will be a notch above the enemy's, keeping combat drive and production momentum at very high values.

Myriad Variations also adds a combined 50% to sub-attributes — that data is quite impressive.

But the strongest is still the final one, Strict Discipline.

It directly halves the command point cost.

Li Ruanyu's Command value is 160 points, theoretically able to grant the hero bonus to 160 soldiers.

But with Strict Discipline, it becomes 320 soldiers.

This is very useful.

Zhao Chi really wants it.

But then again, the success rate for this gene probably isn't high.

Zhao Chi remembers this is a gene belonging to a certain small race, not very compatible with humans.

Li Ruanyu actually managed to improve it — must have cost quite a bit of money.
