Chapter 260: Recruiting An Army Of Millions

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Lin Clan’s territory, when Lin Ye and the others had just returned.

The golden light of merit descended from the sky again.

“My lord, the Creation Production Camp has produced more goods.” Zhang Liang said with a smile.

“Let me see.”

Lin Ye nodded. He opened his eyes and instantly saw everything within the inner camp.

This time, it was a cement floor blueprint.

Impressive. In the few days they were gone, there were more than ten Postnatal Merit Blueprints. All of them were used for infrastructure projects.

It just so happened that his territory had entered the Great Cities Era. It was time to expand his territory.

No matter what, he had to get rid of the primitive aura of his territory. He had to let the people in the territory eat well and rest well.

He wanted the people of the Underworld to have the knowledge to learn so that the human lords could live in peace. Not everyone could become a dragon, but at least they should be able to contribute to Lin Clan.

“You guys, go and rest first. You all haven’t slept in two days and must be tired now.”

Lin Ye waved his hand and dismissed the core team members.

Since entering the Mechanical Beast Sect, none of them had rested. All of them had relied on pills to stay awake.

He was fine. After all, he had already cultivated the three major secret techniques to the tenth level. It was up to him whether he wanted to rest or not.

This was the advantage of the immortal cultivation system.

The power of his consciousness was strong. Cultivating it to a certain extent was equivalent to resting. Therefore, he was still full of energy.

After the core team left, he turned around and went straight to the recruitment hall in the bunker.

After entering the Great Cities Era, his territory’s population capacity had soared to 2.2 million. He hadn’t even recruited enough to max out the previous population capacity.

Now, he needed to recruit more people. Building a city around his territory was a huge project.

The number of native workers needed was staggering. Of course, the ranks of the soldiers were also crucial.

Previously, when his strength was lacking, he only dared to recruit people of a higher class. Now, he was already a Class 7 Spiritual Perception expert, so he no longer had any fear.

He could recruit Class 5 soldiers in the Great Cities Era, saving a lot of trouble.

He opened the information panel of the recruitment hall.

Current population data is as follows: 4.21,000 [421,000/2,200,000 (160,000 of which are occupied by mechanical beasts)]

“The gap is huge, but I have to distribute the ratio properly. Let’s find a professional.”

Lin Ye turned his head and shouted to the guard outside the window, “Get Mus Baruch here.”

A few minutes later, he heard hurried footsteps outside the recruitment hall. “My lord, did you call for me?”

Mos Baruch was Lin One’s father. Currently, his rank was the highest in the territory, and he was also the first native worker to reach Class 5.

“Come here and help me calculate.”

Lin Ye nodded and opened the virtual sandbox.

Now that the territory had expanded to 150,000 square kilometers.

The display of the sandbox was like a miniature map. It could only see the overall situation.

Fortunately, he was able to see everything minute using his Heart’s Web talent. He could see through everything in his territory with a single glance.

After careful consideration, he combined it with the construction blueprint given by the virtual sandbox.

Mus Baruch frowned and said, “My lord, according to the area of the city the circumference of the city will be 1,380,000 meters and a 20-meter-tall city wall surrounding the territory will also have to be built. The amount of stone and manpower needed will be astronomical.”

“Anything that money can solve is not a problem. Tell me boldly,” Lin Ye said imperiously.

“A conservative estimate would be more than 200 million zombie souls and more than 300,000 native workers…” Mus Baruch whispered.

“That much?” Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.

He did not expect that building a city, and just the outer city wall, would require such a high price.

“It’s a little much, but if the lord is willing to spend some time, we can extract the stone and wood ourselves. This way, we can save some zombie souls. It will take at least a month or three weeks to complete the construction.”

Mus Baruch said carefully.

Although he knew that his lord was generous, the budget this time was too high.

A project that could easily cost hundreds of millions of zombie souls, not to mention him, even the ancestors of their branch had never seen it.

Only the native workers that worked for rich families of the large cities had similar experiences.

Therefore, when he said these words, he was especially careful, afraid that if he said anything wrong, it would cause the lord to suffer too much losses.

“A month…”

The corners of Lin Ye’s mouth twitched, and he directly shook his head to refuse.

In the early stages, time was money to him. He wished he could be ahead by every minute and second.

How could he waste his time on building the city walls?

He looked at Mus Baruch and said, “200 million it is then. I’ll give you the authority. If it’s not enough, just use more directly. You can use all resources and manpower as you wish.”

“My lord, this is 200 million?!” Mos Baruch widened his eyes and reminded anxiously.

“I know, it’s not like I don’t have it. Things like money become more when used. Forget it, you won’t understand even if I explain it to you.”

After some thought, he asked, “By the way, if the 300,000 native workers hired are all Class 5 workers, how long can the process be shortened?”

“Class 5?” Mus Baruch secretly clicked his tongue.

Good heavens. Although Class 5 native workers were the cheapest among soldiers of the same class, they still needed 100 zombie souls for a month.

300,000 people meant a monthly salary of 30,000,000. That was too scary.

“Tell me quickly!” Lin Ye rolled his eyes.

These ignorant people were used to being poor in the Underworld. When they heard any numbers above the million mark, their minds would go blank.

“A week, no, within five days, the construction will definitely be completed!” Mus Baruch hurriedly said.

“Then all the native workers you recruit should be Class 5 native workers.”

As he spoke, Lin Ye took out his Civilization Archive and added Mus Baruch’s name to the recruitment authority. He continued, “I still have a use for this place for the time being. Go to the bunker and recruit native workers. Oh, by the way, recruit an additional 100,000 native workers. The construction of the base needs to be rapidly improved.”

“In short, it’s still the same thing. No matter what problem it is, I’ll solve it. You just have to focus on doing your job!

Upon hearing this, Mus Baruch felt deep veneration for him and sighed. “It is the blessing of all the people of the Lin Clan to be able to work with you.”

“Stop flattering me. Let Ron find a group of Wind Demon Wolves to send you there.”

A moment later, after sending Mus Baruch away, Lin Ye no longer cared about the recruitment of native workers.

He believed that with Mus Baruch’s ability, he was capable of taking on this task.

His gaze landed on the recruitment problem of other soldiers.

Class 5 soldiers could be recruited limitlessly now. As long as it was within a population limit, they could be recruited.

Looking at the notation, Lin Ye bared his teeth and couldn’t help but curse, “A Class 5 warrior actually requires twice the salary of a Class 5 native worker. What a f*cking scam!”

In other words, recruiting 1 million Class 5 soldiers required 200 million zombie souls.

He still had 1.5 million population capacity left. If he added the costs of recruiting all the advanced soldiers, as well as the construction fees for the city and the base.

Even the richest man in the world like him couldn’t take it.

Of course, gritting his teeth and doing it was still possible.

After all, there were still 520,000 zombie corpses outside.

If he converted all of them, with his hundredfold reward, he would be able to have at least 600 million zombie souls.

“Then I’ll recruit 500,000 Class 5 and 500,000 Class 4 soldiers to form a million-strong army. The remaining 500,000 will be left for other classes. I’ll open some Gold Treasure Chests later. It’s time to drop a wave of Class 5 and 6 soldiers. The Earth Demon Bear can’t keep up with the pace.”

“The strength of the core team is the same. They have to advance to Class 6 and 7 as soon as possible. This way, I won’t be at a disadvantage in the Underworld.”

With this thought in mind, Lin Ye placed an order in the recruitment hall.

[500,000 Class 5 Warriors. Recruitment Time: 24 hours. Estimated consumption of Zombie Soul: 100 million!]

[500,000 Class 4 Warriors.. Recruitment Time: 20 hours. Estimated consumption of Zombie Soul: 60 million!]
