Chapter 24

"You can arrange the rest as you see fit."

Gu Qing nodded: "Are you leaving?"

Zhao Chi said: "Go buy body wash and stuff for you, and buy some more food."

Gu Qing laughed: "Body wash is good, but no need to buy food. Isn't there half a wild deer? And we saw many animals on the way here, we can hunt."

Zhao Chi nodded: "It's okay, rice is not too expensive, and 10 female villagers will come every day, so we can store some, I'm leaving now."

Gu Qing nodded: "Okay, we'll all wait for you to come back."

Zhao Chi clicked return.

Gu Qing's face became blurry.

Looking again, he had already returned to the room in the big world.

"*Huff*~"

Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

Currently, everything in his territory seems pretty good.

For the test in 7 days, Zhao Chi is full of confidence.

Pushed the door and went out.

What came into view was the dazzling afternoon sun.

Squinted and looked.

The tall city walls of Snowfield City were right in front, extending far to the left and right, and the ends could not be seen.

There were some duty personnel patrolling on the wall, looking like little sesame seeds moving around.

These city walls are built with special materials.

Extremely sturdy.

But most importantly, it is not just a city wall, but a large magic array.

Magical beasts outside wanting to attack the city cannot attack the city wall at all.

On the way to approach the city wall, they will be forcibly teleported and sent to the territories of those powerful lords.

This array is connected to the system.

It will distribute magical beasts of different strengths to different lords' territories according to the registered lord's strength.

Even if there is a beast tide with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of magical beasts attacking the city.

They will be separated by the array and sent in batches to different lords to be wiped out.

Many hands make light work.

No matter how many magical beasts invade, if they can be divided into tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of parts, they can all be dealt with calmly.

As long as the number of lords can always maintain a certain scale.

As long as this array is not destroyed.

Then this Snowfield City can be considered a paradise in this cold northern territory.

Wait until night.

You can see the sapphire-colored spiritual power fluctuations outside the city wall.

It looks as beautiful as the aurora.

The array outside the wall is very strong.

It is also the guarantee for the survival of humans and many other races in this world.

The consumption of the array is also very high.

After all, it has to be turned on 24/7, and it cannot stop even for a second.

The energy consumed is huge.

So the high taxes of Snowfield City can be understood.

Of course, high taxes are aimed at high-value items or products.

The tax rate for daily necessities and low-priced goods is not high.

For example, Zhao Chi's large bag of old sheets and clothes earlier only required a tax of 1 copper coin.

It's not even 3 o'clock in the afternoon yet.

People in the village are all working.

Some are fighting magical beasts, some are producing supplies.

Lords are not only combat-oriented, but also production-oriented.

After all, some people are born timid, or have no ability to command and manage at all, and forcing them to the battlefield is just sending them to death, and will also waste world stones in vain.

It's better to just engage in production, which can also make a contribution.

If an alien force appears in the territory, you can invite combat-type lords, or hire some martial artists to wipe them out.

The high tax rate of Snowfield City is also levied on these production-type lords.

After all, although they have worked, they are relatively safe.

And there are villagers to help them produce.

Although the tax rate is high, they can still get a lot of money income, and their lives are quite good.

Besides them.

There are many people who lost their territory world because of defeat.

The number of these people is not small, after all, the variables of war are very large, and the number of people who can win completely is not many.

It is considered lucky to be able to leave the battlefield alive.

They have made contributions, and even if they are defeated, they are heroes.

There are also some people who were overthrown by villagers because their actions were too excessive, and they had to leave the territory world.

These people are trash.

There are also people who cannot enter the territory for other reasons.

No matter what the reason, if you want to reopen the territory, you must spend a lot of money to invite professionals to completely clear the traces of the old territory.

Only then can the territory be reopened.

Otherwise, it will lead to an unstable territory world.

There is a chance of collapse.

After this, you need to spend a lot of money to buy world stones again.

Only then can it be reopened.

But whether it is clearing traces or buying world stones, it is difficult for commoners to afford.

These people either become craftsmen, producing supplies in the big world to earn some hard-earned money.

Or they become hired martial artists, participating in battles in various territories to earn commissions.

Or they are artists, instructors, and various service industry personnel.

Although they cannot become rich and powerful.

But making a living is no problem.

Those with good skills can also live well.

The village where Zhao Chi is located is very remote.

So it is very close to the city wall.

The entire Snowfield County contains 8 counties, and under the county there are towns, and under the town there are villages.

The Eighth Lord Academy is located in a nearby town.

It is not too far from Zhao Chi's home, with a straight-line distance of about 6 kilometers.

Usually, he runs there, and can exercise his Agility by the way.

This time, he still ran to the town.

He didn't go to the exchange to buy supplies this time, but went to a grocery store.

The exchange has handling fees.

It's not worth tossing back and forth just to buy a large bag of rice.

But this time he bought a lot of things, so he had to save some.

Soon, Zhao Chi finished purchasing.
