Don't call me evil god

Chapter 161 Talent! Urgent need for talent!

There are a large number and variety of territory construction series tasks.

After unlocking so many tasks, the dazzling array of tasks made Pete and his friends unsure which one to start with.

Involving all aspects.

For example, the task about [Population Growth] requires that the Misty Valley has 100 permanent residents before the task can be completed, and the reward is something called "Regional Reputation".

The mission progress shows that the current permanent population of Misty Valley is a big zero.

Pete and the others didn't react at first.

Aren’t these 30 living people considered human beings?

Later I carefully read the task description and finally understood.

The god of knowledge, Nowen, has specific requirements for determining the "permanent population" in the territory.

Simply bringing people here doesn’t count as population growth.

The minimum requirement is to "own a house for living in Misty Valley" to be eligible.

In the few days after arriving in the Misty Valley, they set up some tents as a place to rest.

The conditions of those refugees were even worse. They didn't even have tents. They picked up some branches and leaves on the outskirts of the valley and barely made a leaf bed. They almost slept on the ground.

This certainly does not count as permanent population.

There is a corresponding task called [Build Houses].

This task requires building a sufficient number of houses of appropriate size in the Misty Valley to complete it.

In addition, there are a lot of tasks such as [Build a Tavern], [Build a Market], and [Build a Training Ground].

When Pete learned that the lord election would be unlocked after completing a series of tasks, he was eager to complete it as soon as possible and then strive to take on the role of lord.

After seeing this series of task requirements, he deeply felt that human power has its limits.

Even if you work hard from day to night without rest, you may not be able to complete some of the tasks.

These tasks related to territory construction are all major projects!
Moreover, the scope of the research is extremely wide, and many things are even his blind spots.

For example, regarding the construction of residential houses.

How would he know how to build a house?

When he was a kid, he played around all day and got into trouble everywhere.

Later, he went to Green Port and learned knowledge related to mages. When asked how to mobilize the magic network and how to construct magic models, he could explain it very clearly.

Ask him how to saw a piece of wood with the specifications required for the support beam?
I was caught off guard.

Pete tried to pray to Nowen, and after spending 10 knowledge points, he did exchange for a piece of knowledge called [Ordinary Residential Architecture].

The problem is that.

This is knowledge!
Knowledge needs to be learned!

He was able to learn magic quickly because he already had a basic knowledge base in the area.

The reason they were able to quickly repair the airship on the Jinchao Pofeng was mainly because they were quite lucky.

Many things in Goblin Engineering are fool-proof in the manual, and as long as you can find the problem, it doesn't matter whether you have a professional engineer or an amateur fix it.

Captain Ronald simply took chances and allowed a small problem to become more serious. It was actually not difficult to repair.

Building a house is different. This is also a systematic and professional knowledge. In a sense, it is like the practice of a mage. It takes time and energy to learn and practice.

It's true that Pete can slowly master it with the knowledge and learning progress guidance provided by Nowen.

But it’s not cost-effective enough!

His energy is limited.

Pete tried to figure out the contents related to the [Ordinary Residential Buildings] he exchanged. After studying for a long time, the learning progress bar only increased a little bit, not even 1%!
What kind of learning is this!
He exchanged the knowledge of third-level magic, and learning magic is much faster than learning this damn thing!

Pete also figured it out.

“We should do what we are good at.”

“It’s better to leave the construction of houses to experienced architects and stonemasons and carpenters.”

Pete thought about it carefully.

What is he good at?
In the past, he was good at making trouble, such as chasing chickens and dogs, climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles.

Now he is good at bombarding monsters with magic.

It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the task of territory construction. For example, there are two relatively unpopular 3rd-level magics called [Turning Fossils into Mud] and [Turning Mud into Stone]. If you need to build a house, these two magics can theoretically provide help. Craftsmen do not need to pile up the mud and wait for it to dry. Instead, they can use magic to speed up the process.

But now the problem faced by Pete and his team is:
“Can anyone build a house?”

The 25 refugees, as well as Gail, Miranda and Brandon next to them, remained silent.

Pete was silent too.

Not at all!
I won't mention them. Before becoming refugees, these people were farmers in the village. Their main survival skill was farming. The limit of their understanding of building houses was to find some broken wooden boards to build a shed.

If you want to build an "ordinary residence" according to the task requirements given by the God of Knowledge, which requires at least 1 bedroom, 1 living room, 1 bathroom, and a minimum area of ​​20 square meters, no one dares to guarantee that they can do it.

Only Reina raised her hand hesitantly. "I can... draw a rough drawing of the construction requirements according to the requirements, but I have never tried to actually start construction..."

Her father was an experienced stonemason, and through watching and hearing him, Reina had some understanding of the work, but only up to the point where she could read the construction drawings.

Pete let out a long sigh.

Territory construction encountered huge problems at the very beginning.

He had to admit that he had taken the development of a new territory too lightly.

This situation of a lot of disrepair cannot be solved by just a few professionals and 25 refugee farmers.

They are in urgent need of talent now.

A wide variety of professionals!
Not only stonemasons and carpenters, but also tailors and various other craftsmen.

Apart from anything else, the refugees had no spare clothes. When they were searching for monsters in the forest a few days ago, everyone's clothes were inevitably damaged, and now they could only continue to wear them like this.

Otherwise, they would have to tear leaves as clothes like the savages.

According to the series of tasks issued by Nowen, the territory construction series of tasks is still divided into stages. Unlocking the lord election is only the reward for completing the first stage. Pete has checked the subsequent tasks and also requires practitioners such as winemakers in the territory, etc. He even saw the requirement to recruit a circus in the back!

Although these personnel with extremely high professional requirements can slowly learn the corresponding skills by exchanging knowledge from the God of Knowledge, it takes a longer time to accumulate and cultivate.

Pete prefers another option:

Just find ready-made ones and bring them here!
