Chapter 372: Learning

"Drawing Legion..."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Armageddon Steel Legion."

"Heh, seeing the Astra Militarum drawn now, I actually don't feel much joy anymore. As expected, is my appetite growing larger?"

Yingzhou gave a self-deprecating smile at this moment. Suddenly, he saw that there was no movement in the rewards for Task 3 in the task list. After clicking on Task 3, Yingzhou finally saw the notification that the task was completed.

【Unlock Upgrade System Condition: Increase the prosperity of the Ninth Defense Zone under the Host's jurisdiction and ensure everything runs in an orderly manner.】

【Once the condition is met, the system will automatically upgrade.】

Understood. It means he needs to restore the Ninth Defense Zone to normal operation. Currently, due to the Demon invasion, two production areas have been attacked by Demons, production has clearly slowed down, and there are the losses in the residential areas to consider.

"Phew, it seems I must speed up the recovery. It would be best if the system upgrade could accelerate the progress."

Thinking of this, Yingzhou stopped overthinking, closed his eyes, and fell into a long-overdue sleep.

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City.

With the allocation of various supplies, the areas attacked by Demons were recovering rapidly, except for the area where the Hell Gate opened.

Because this place was destroyed too severely by the Demons, the recovery cost was further increased.

Jack's original plan was to let this area recover like the others, but Yingzhou had him add some Orphanages here.

"Those children left behind because their parents died in various accidents need a place to belong, and they should be taught here until they come of age."

Jack touched his receding hairline, nodded thoughtfully, and said.

"Your suggestion is not bad, but we don't know how many orphans there are in the Ninth Defense Zone right now. Furthermore, under the pressure of the survival environment, they are all fierce and combative; there are often street children fighting to the death. If we gather them together, the Orphanage might be very difficult to manage."

After hearing Jack's concerns, Yingzhou smiled, shook his head, and said.

"I will solve this problem. Since they are so fond of being fierce and combative, they will be excellent sources of soldiers regardless of whether they awaken after they come of age.

Moreover, I will have them learn the basic virtues that a human should possess in the Orphanage."

Hearing Yingzhou say this, Jack had no choice but to nod in agreement. Seeing a youth about 1.3 meters tall following behind Yingzhou, he asked curiously.

"Who is he?"

"He is Angron, my child. Given his personality, I think he can learn some knowledge from you, most importantly, learning some ways to handle matters."

Yingzhou moved to the side, pulled Angron in front of him, and spoke to Jack.

"Child?"

Jack's puzzled look deepened. He remembered that Yingzhou didn't seem very old; how could he already have a child? And one so big!

"Hello, Councilor Jack, I am Angron. I am very happy to be able to learn by your side."

Angron walked forward a few steps, bowed to Jack, and said.

Looking at this youth who looked exceptionally strong but had very polite manners, Jack felt a bit uncomfortable with the contrast, but he still smiled, nodded, and replied.

"Very happy to meet you, Angron."

Seeing that the two had officially met, Yingzhou spoke up.

"Then you two chat. By the way, Jack, regarding the issue of personnel shortages, you have experience. I have only one requirement: do not do the things those nobles did before."

After listening, Jack nodded slowly and said.

"That goes without saying. Having finally made a new start, I don't want to see everything go in a circle and return to the starting point."

"That's good."

Yingzhou nodded and left Jack's office.

Seeing Yingzhou at work for the first time, Angron asked Jack, who was standing to the side.

"Councilor Jack, does my father always leave things to you?"

"Hahaha, that is indeed the case. To use your father's words, he is not a professional, and professional matters should be left to professional people. After all, this is not fighting an Alien Race. There are many things to consider; he only determines the direction, and the specific matters are still left to us to do.

However, Lu Zhenda has the deepest understanding of this."

Jack laughed, put down the pen in his hand, and explained to Angron.

Angron nodded, but in his heart, there was always a misconception: did his father have him follow Jack to learn because he wanted him to be like this in the future?

This thought only existed for a moment before being dismissed by Angron. How could that be? Father doing this must want him to be able to help out in the future! Yes, that's right!

Military District Headquarters.

Lu Zhenda looked at the black-gray-skinned giant sitting at Yingzhou's desk processing documents, his heart filled with deep emotion.

A few days ago, Lu Zhenda saw Yingzhou bring a black-gray-skinned giant to the Military District, having this giant follow him to handle official business, and claiming that this giant was his child.

At the time, Lu Zhenda wanted to complain, but in the end, he held back.

He had originally thought that this black-gray-skinned giant would be like Yingzhou, pushing troublesome matters onto him, but he hadn't expected that after getting along for these few days,

Lu Zhenda was surprised to find that this black-gray-skinned giant was unexpectedly easy to get along with. Although he looked fierce on the outside, he showed a gentle side in everything he did, except for the matter of eliminating the Alien Race.

Now Lu Zhenda had to believe that this was indeed Yingzhou's child. Their personalities could be said to be very similar: full of zero tolerance for the Alien Race, but usually, they were gentle people.

Furthermore, in just a few days, Vulkan went from processing documents somewhat clumsily at the beginning to now being able to let Lu Zhenda take a break.

"Can't believe it, you've finished all of these?"

Lu Zhenda looked at the documents Vulkan had processed and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm, once you find the pattern, it's not that much trouble to process them. Moreover, now that the Ninth Defense Zone is under Father's guidance, there are no blood-sucking parasites, and it is more convenient to allocate supplies and reinforcements."

Vulkan put down the pen in his hand, looked at Lu Zhenda, and said in a calm tone.

"Mr. Lu, I often hear my father mention you, saying that you have helped him a lot, but my father rarely mentions his own affairs.

I rarely thought about what my father was busy with every day before. Can you tell me some things about my father here?"

Lu Zhenda, who had been smiling, suddenly felt a wave of awkwardness and inner conflict.

How should he answer? He didn't know what Yingzhou was busy with either. Every time Yingzhou went out, he would cause some major events. This most recent one directly overturned the former order of the Ninth Defense Zone.

When he heard the news, he was stunned. He was busy in the Military District, overwhelmed, and his superior had directly torn down the house to rebuild it.

However, he didn't care about that. Or rather, could Yingzhou becoming the ruler of the Ninth Defense Zone pull humanity back from the edge of extinction?
