Chapter 2041

"Ah, let's get to work, hope it won't be too difficult."

Xiao Feng released the source qi of all things, created a lounge chair in midair, and hung himself in the air.

In Human Emperor mode, he cannot act, nor will the citizens on the map see him.

He is like a god, guiding the citizens here to develop.

On the ground below, a tiny city only 2 meters on a side stands there, inside are 22 little figures in a daze; one represents an army of 1000 people, another 19 represent 19,000 civilians, and the last two stay in the Cheng Zhu Fu, they are independent NPCs, each representing only an individual.

Time has not yet begun to flow; it is in a paused state.

Xiao Feng glanced at the panels of the two independent NPCs.

"This name..."

Seeing the two NPCs' names, Xiao Feng couldn't help but gasp.

Xiao Sui, Xiao Chao, this refers to

Could it be referring to the two human ancestors, the Sui Ren clan and the You Chao clan?

That is actually an ancient sage older than the venerable Fu Xi, leading primitive humanity out of barbarism, learning to make fire and build nests, no longer eating raw meat and drinking blood like beasts.

As for these two ancestors, Xiao Feng knows little about them; no one has ever told him that ancient history.

But it's not hard to imagine, in an era when even the Dao Ancestor did not exist, how harsh and difficult humanity's survival environment in the universe was!

The system gave these two starting NPCs; it seems the person who designed this level did not forget the great ancestors.

Xiao Feng chose "Xiao Sui" and checked what commands could be issued.

The command contents are many: can conscript soldiers, train troops, govern the city, lead the common people to plant food, gather resources, etc.

Moreover, one can also choose to "train", cultivating in the wilderness, fighting beasts, to raise the NPC's level.

Xiao Feng thought: NPC level is low now, city population small, developing the wilderness is dangerous; we need to first focus on production and construction.

Thus he let the higher martial aptitude Xiao Sui train the troops, and the higher intellectual aptitude Xiao Chao govern the city.

Besides the two NPCs, the other little figures can also be operated; each unit represents 1000 people. Xiao Feng selected two male figures to engage in agricultural production, two female figures for handicraft production, and dispatched four to mine ore and timber etc.

This number is not fixed; when issuing orders, there is also a "time zone" that can be chosen, defining what time periods they work and rest.

For example, early

Morning 7-9 for eating, leisure, free activity; 9-12 for corresponding work.

12-14 continue eating, leisure, nap.

14-18 continue working.

18-19 eat and rest.

19-22 leisure and entertainment.

22-23, make little people.

23 to next day 7, sleep.

If you think the little people eat too much, you can cancel a meal and not feed them.

Or if you think they sleep too long and work too little, you can also switch to a 997 work schedule.

Of course, different schedules will affect the little people's mood and physical condition.

If they get sick and die, they will not be revived.

Xiao Feng kept in mind that 1 figure = 1000 people, dared not act recklessly, arranged rest time properly, dared not exploit too harshly.

After setting the daily schedule for every little figure, he then pressed the "Start" button to let time flow.

Xiao Sui and Xiao Chao went off busy; the former led only a "1" sized army, training on the city's martial field; the latter stayed in the Cheng Zhu Fu, processing documents submitted by the other little figures.

Xiao Feng, looking from heaven, could see an old-man-shaped little figure run into the Cheng Zhu Fu, delivering something like a letter.

Then Xiao Chao said to the old-man little figure: "You're old, you don't need to keep doing such hard work; go rest well."

Xiao Feng glanced at the document delivered by the old-man little figure; it turned out he felt too idle, wanted to go farm and do some work within his ability.

Xiao Feng saw this and immediately adjusted his schedule, arranging two hours each in the morning and afternoon to engage in

agricultural work.

After modifying the order, he didn't even need Xiao Chao's consent; the old man went home by himself, then happily went out carrying a hoe.

After a while, a girl‑shaped puppet ran to the Lord's Manor and delivered a document: "I have reached marriageable age and want to find a strong, sturdy man to start a family."

Xiao Feng looked and felt that the puppet representing the army was quite good!

He then tied the two little puppets together, acting as a matchmaker and tying the red thread.

The girl left the Lord's Manor, and when passing the training grounds she stopped to look for a while.

As the army puppet trained, a small bubble floated above its head, inside which was a blinking‑eye emoticon.

When the training time ended, Xiao Sui returned to the Lord's Manor to sit and meditate; the two puppets exchanged glances, hit it off, and went off together to stroll and play.

Xiao Feng set the time flow to 60×, so one minute equaled an hour, and it passed quickly.

Soon a day ended, and the little puppets also reached their rest time.

The army puppet and the girl puppet returned to the same home, and that day they tacitly agreed to be together, without needing any complicated procedure.

Watching them sneak into the little house together, Xiao Feng couldn't help but mutter: "Can this be understood as a thousand‑person battle?"

The next morning, the city's prosperity remained unchanged at the initial 30%, and its level was still 1.

However, the food stores increased by 1 point.

Food does not merely refer to staples like rice and wheat; vegetables, fruits, meat, miscellaneous grains, etc., are also counted.

If one checks the details, there is also a fine list inside.

The little puppets engaged in agricultural work, after a busy day, naturally have some numbers

changes in value.

Ore and timber resources are also growing, but they are still relatively scarce; to expand the city they are far insufficient, and can only be used to improve housing conditions or pave roads to improve traffic.

Xiao Feng glanced here and there, occasionally paying attention to the development of the other races, and time flew by.

Xiao Chao, the civil official, is quite capable of governing the city; if the puppets have any demands, even if Xiao Feng doesn't handle them, he will make a judgment, and basically there are no problems.

Xiao Feng set up the general work situation, then sped up the time flow.

Soon, a year passed.

【After half a year, let's revisit the 7th chapter again!】
