Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 231 On the Eve of Transmigration
After leaving his home, Qin Ziwen gathered his men, but because of the special nature of the spirit-absorbing fungus, he didn't bring too many people.

They only brought recruits from their home base.

This time, all the tools were prepared. Upon arriving at the cave, they retrieved shovels, iron buckets, spades, and other tools.

After a flurry of activity, all the scavenging bacteria growing in this area were removed.

Not only the spirit-absorbing bacteria, but also the mineral mud beneath it was shoveled up in several large boxes.

Because he didn't know if these scavenging bacteria could only grow and reproduce on this kind of mineral mud, he shoveled several truckloads of the mud.

Considering the slow efficiency, Qin Ziwen simply set up a node here.

Mineral slime is transported directly through nodes.

This mud could become food for giant rock dragons, and as an edible mud, he subconsciously felt that this mud might also be a good thing.

Therefore, he specially built a new building in his home – a warehouse.

These are ordinary building cards obtained from the altar over this period of time.

Since the great sandstorm, Qin Ziwen has focused his attention on the oasis.

However, the altar initially discovered on the south side of the Great Rift Valley was not abandoned, and people went there every day to collect the cards.

In accordance with the Qin Alliance's internal rules and reward/punishment system, some cards were distributed as rewards.

Soon, the warehouse was filled with thick layers of mineral mud, with some clean mud and some covered with scavenging bacteria placed at opposite corners of the warehouse.

The plan is to use this method to test whether the bacteria can be transmitted through the air.

Before its safety was confirmed, the fungus was kept under strict control, and Qian Muzhen took samples for testing to examine its medicinal properties and efficacy.

Soon, another day passed.

Only one day remains until the third time we cross over.

The atmosphere in the neighborhood became anxious and tense.

Even if someone has experienced a conscious time travel before, the thought of going through it again still makes many people uneasy.

Qian Muzhen had a large pot of mint water boiled and distributed.

Qin Ziwu carried a large bowl of water to the center of the giant beast's breeding.

Since returning yesterday, my older brother has basically been staying here for the past two days.

Pushing open the door, you'll see the first floor of the Giant Beast Breeding Center.

There are various miniature terrains here, and he went up to the second floor.

Above the skylight, numerous holes converge on the "bed" responsible for incubation.

The eldest brother was lying in one of the incubation centers, holding the hatched Tarbosaurus baby in his arms.

The Tarbosaurus cub noticed him, opened its eyelids to look at him, and then closed its big eyes again.

It seems like the cub has gotten much fatter in just two days.

Qin Ziwu walked over and said, "Brother, have some mint water. Dr. Qian said it can refresh the mind, relieve gastrointestinal discomfort, and reduce anxiety."

"Where did you see that I was anxious?" Qin Ziwen closed his eyes, the sunlight shining into the square area where he was lying, warm and cozy, like an afternoon nap.

Qin Ziwu was curious, so he freed his hand and felt the warmth spreading through it as the sunlight shone on the back of his hand.

He finally understood why his older brother was lying there.

This felt so good, he felt like he was being "incubated".

"Brother, if you're tired, lie down for a while. Remember to come down for lunch later. We're having barbecue for lunch today," Qin Ziwu called out.

"Understood." Qin Ziwen waved.

The black kitten in his arms snuggled up and found a more comfortable position.

Holding Blackie in his arms, Qin Ziwen had mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it was his partner in breaking through to the third level of the extraordinary realm, and once it grew up, it would definitely become an important fighting force in the home.

On the other hand, as its size increases, how to feed this behemoth is also an important question.

Once it reaches full adulthood, its daily food intake will likely be measured in tons.

If there is plenty of food nearby, it can hunt for itself and be self-sufficient. If there is not enough food, it will have to rely on its home for sustenance.

After lunch, in the afternoon, Qin Ziwen received a report from Jia Liangcai.

As of now, the Qin Alliance has a total of 704 members, excluding recruiters and members recruited within the community; only the number of residents in the community is counted.

Among them, the number of young adults aged 18-40 was 584.

There were 364 young and middle-aged men and 220 young and middle-aged women.

The high percentage of students is largely due to this high proportion.

"These young men and women all had hunting experience. After screening, the best of the best were selected, with 83 being physically strong. Five of them were exceptionally gifted and had extraordinary strength. Two of them were born with superhuman strength and were incredibly powerful."

After listening to Jia Liangcai's report, Qin Ziwen silently made a judgment in his heart.

Those with robust physiques probably correspond to the three-star human classification.

Those with exceptional talent likely refer to those with a four-star physique.

The last two should refer to Qin Ziwu and Cao Biansheng.

He and Du Yu are not included in this evaluation criteria.

People from modern times are well-nourished and have a good foundation.

After two months of training in the wilderness, coupled with the enhanced training at the Martial Arts Training Ground, as long as the meat nutrition is adequate, it's not difficult for some people who already maintain a good training foundation to break through the three-star standard.

However, some people who lack exercise and have a poor physical foundation may need some time to break through to the three-star level.

He thought about it and realized that a mature and healthy alliance should not only have the core hunting team capable of hunting large prey, but other teams in the alliance should also have the ability to hunt large prey.

The large prey here is defined by adult woolly mammoths, which are giant beasts weighing more than five tons.

"For now, the core hunting team members will remain the same. Divide the remaining members into appropriate hunting teams and train them to hunt first."

"Yes, my lord."

"Yes, my lord." Jia Liangcai accepted the order, but did not immediately leave. He secretly glanced at Qin Ziwen's expression before cautiously asking, "But... regarding the leaders of these new teams, does my lord have anyone in mind?"

Qin Ziwen's gaze suddenly sharpened as it fell on Jia Liangcai: "What, has someone asked you to pull strings?"

Jia Liangcai quickly bowed and explained, "This subordinate dares not! No one has ever approached this subordinate. It is Liangcai who wishes to share the burden for our lord."

Qin Ziwen's expression darkened slightly. "Go ahead and speak."

Jia Liangcai said: "At the end of the previous dynasty, warlords were everywhere. In order to ensure the loyalty of the army, the military commanders in various places did everything they could. They made good use of their clansmen, recruited their fellow villagers, adopted sons, and supported their confidants. At the same time, the commanders treated the virtuous and learned men with respect and shared weal and woe, which spread their reputation."

Furthermore, by bestowing generous rewards and rewards, the soldiers' honor and wealth were tied to their commander-in-chief alone, so that the armies in various regions "knew only their commander-in-chief, not the imperial court."

"So, you mean you want me to reward them handsomely?"

Jia Liangcai said, "No, profit can be lured, but not given!"

Qin Ziwen stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, “It’s a good thing you don’t live in modern times, otherwise you would definitely be a capitalist. Your kind of skill has a professional name in modern times: ‘drawing a pie in the sky.’”

Jia Liangcai frowned, somewhat puzzled.

This is the truth of power politics that he painstakingly found from countless books after studying scriptures.

Throughout history, high-ranking officials and powerful emperors of dynasties have almost all used this technique.

They lure people with profit and manipulate their hearts.

But desires are insatiable, and people should never be easily satisfied; once satisfied, even greater desires will arise.

Give them little by little, so that they understand who all the rewards come from.

What's wrong with that?

Qin Ziwen said, “Any method must be adapted to local conditions. If you use this approach on ancient people of the same status as you, it will work every time because they have been taught the belief of ruling the world since childhood. But if you use it on people in the community, it will not be appropriate. There is an idiom called ‘adapting to local conditions’. Different methods should be used for different people.”

Jia Liangcai remained silent, then slowly nodded, "I see, I've learned something."

"However, what you said makes some sense. The situation has changed. Why don't you call the rest of the core hunting team over first?"
