All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

Chapter 153 Selection

After processing the harvest and having Lola direct everyone to rest, Yang Fei took Mona to the top of the city wall and began to plan all aspects of the Sky Island's future development according to the established plan.

The main content was that Yang Fei told Mona about his various ideas, such as the three ways to obtain transportation, his ideas for the tower defense team, and the upcoming talent selection plan. In short, Yang Fei talked a lot, and Mona listened to a lot.

Yang Fei's goal was to get Mona's advice on what to do next, because his level of expertise was definitely not enough to support the full implementation of various plans. Therefore, he needed to determine a priority and see what he could solve first.

As for the full-scale rollout afterward, that will have to wait until after the novice assessment, which is the end of the global college entrance examination. It would be good if I could recruit management talents like the succubus sisters, but it's not guaranteed that I can recruit them every time.

Therefore, if you want a stable way to acquire high-level talent, you still have to look at your home planet.

Moreover, the succubus sisters are, in the end, demons, representing the chaos and even evil of the abyss. Yang Fei was still somewhat uneasy about having them manage the world of order, or even specifically, the complex species of humans.

Therefore, Yang Fei's next plan is to let the three races each manage their own affairs: demons manage demons, humans manage humans, and elves manage elves, just like the various race support teams he had previously formed, where everyone can manage their own affairs.

This system can function normally as long as Yang Fei, a real lord, provides guarantees and a powerful demon army under his command is responsible for supervision. As for what happens inside, Yang Fei won't care. As long as they pay their "rent" on time and meet Yang Fei's needs at various critical moments, that's enough.

This system is already taking shape on Yang Fei's Sky Island, so Yang Fei doesn't plan to change it. However, there is still a shortage of high-level talent. In various aspects, there is still a lack of responsible persons who can implement his plans, so Yang Fei still needs to find a way to fill the talent gap.

My side is the most comprehensive and hassle-free. The demon bloodline and the superior-subordinate suppression can directly save me a lot of trouble. The orders from the higher-ups can definitely be carried out, and I don't need to worry about responsibility.

However, there is still a shortage of low-level commanders and administrators. The different situations of the various races of demons are even more complex than those of the various races in the Order World, which may lead to difficulties in management later on.

However, this can't be rushed. As long as I have money and can secure the recruitment hut for various demons, I can gradually recruit enough to keep up with the demand.

The elves are in the worst situation. The elves in the entire Elf Hills lack capable administrators and can only rely on a few strong elves to hold on, because their homeland is gone and their people have been sold into slavery. So Yang Fei is truly helpless and can only pray that the next time the slave traders come, they can bring some of what he wants.

The Qianwu Star side is the most helpless. To say they are comprehensive is not entirely wrong, after all, they have a large number of people and basically come from all walks of life, making them the easiest to assemble.

But in the end, those people were just a group of refugees who had lost their homes and were living on his empty island. Moreover, most of them were not loyal to him, so he could not possibly try to please them.

He could only hope that they would act on their own initiative. Yang Fei really didn't want to get involved in these matters, because he knew that if he did, it would be difficult to extricate himself later.

Moreover, interfering in their clan's affairs without any regard for their feelings might provoke a rebellious attitude from them. If these guys were to risk everything to sabotage him, that would be a real problem.

After discussing with Mona, Yang Fei finally determined a priority: in terms of development, they decided to solve the transportation problem first, and at the same time, they should look for suitable agricultural talents on Qianwu Star, cultivate the farmland, and grow white rice to ensure the food supply of the Sky Island in the future!

On the defensive side, you need to deploy more elegiac towers as soon as possible, and also purchase some fire-breathing towers and slowing towers to strengthen your various defensive tower groups. You need to start practicing the coordination between the various defensive towers in the upcoming battles to prepare for dealing with more complex monster types.

With the initial planning complete and the half-hour break over, Yang Fei returned to the city wall and immediately launched the next wave of monster attacks. This time, he did not personally take to the field, but instead had the succubus sisters command in his place before heading to the refugee camp with Yue Lingling.

With the cooperation of Sun Xiaoyu and others, Yang Fei successfully selected three batches of workers. The first batch was the smelting workers, who had the highest requirements. After carefully screening the refugees who wanted to join his territory for more than two hours, Yang Fei finally found a group of smelting workers who met the requirements.

This selection not only put the new smelter into operation, but also handed over all the work positions in the two factories to the workers of Qianwu Star. The inferior demon workers in the previous smelter were also freed up and made their own direct troops to continue to monitor and patrol the sky island.

At the same time, Yang Fei also allowed refugees from Qianwu Star with such aspirations to consult with the Ding people about steel smelting during their rest time, so as to prepare for training new smelters for the future.

Of course, Yang Fei also selected some secondary workers, such as carpentry apprentices, stonemason apprentices, textile workers, repairmen, bakers, etc., and allowed them to run some hobby classes. Ambitious refugees could also join in, in preparation for the construction of timber processing plants, stone processing plants, textile factories, and food workshops.

After completing the rather complicated selection process, Yang Fei replaced all the basic workers in resource buildings such as the lumber mill, quarry, and iron mine with these refugees, freeing up a lot of inferior demon workers again. These basic workers did not need to be carefully selected; as long as their physical condition was not too bad, they could basically all do the job.

During his visit to the refugee camp, Yang Fei delegated as much authority as possible to Sun Xiaoyu and Yue Lingling, allowing them to help him complete this task. After all, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't do everything himself. He supervised the selection process, and he only needed to approve the final result.

Yang Fei's requirements are simple: as long as they have previously expressed their intention to join his Sky Island, their loyalty to him is above 60, and they meet all the work requirements, Yang Fei will let them join his Sky Island.

The more than 1,000 people who wanted to join him before, and many more who have met the loyalty requirements in the past few days, want to join him. Because he was worried about resources, he had not given a definite answer. He only selected suitable talents and left the rest to the artillery positions with too much money to train first.

Now that we have the time, we should naturally do a thorough screening so that these people can truly realize their value.

With the initial development of the Sky Island planned out, these people from the technological age are an unimaginable resource, and naturally, they should be utilized as much as possible.

High-level talents can be selected from the home planet, while Yang Fei intends to train these refugees from Qianwu Star as the backbone of basic and secondary workers.

Although the people on the home planet could also apply for these jobs, they might slack off to some extent because of the meager pay of one copper coin. Therefore, Yang Fei had to find some role models to serve as their team leaders or even supervisors to urge them to work.

Although efficiency may still not improve, Yang Fei needs a force that can urge them to improve and become the spiritual totem of his Sky Island. Only in this way can his Sky Island have a direction to continue moving forward.

A copper coin might not mean much to the Azure Star people who understand its value, but to these Qianwu Star people who have lost their homes, it's almost the price of a pound of white rice. A pound of white rice is enough for a family of three to have a good meal. Yang Fei believes that those Qianwu Star refugees are definitely capable of doing this job.

Moreover, Yang Fei did not simply pay them this one copper coin; he also restructured the treatment of refugees from Qianwu Star.

Firstly, the highest tier, meaning those with a loyalty level of 90 or above, and who are Yue Lingling, his representative here, or high-ranking commanders like Qian Duotai, can eat with him and enjoy True Qi Rice as a cultivation resource.

The second tier consists of those with a loyalty level of 60 or higher that is constantly increasing. They must also be secondary workers who voluntarily join their own sky island, such as smelters, carpenters, stonemasons, etc. They are provided with white rice twice a day, a small amount of pickled vegetables or meat, and can also enjoy True Qi Rice once a week as a reward.

The third tier consists of basic workers who voluntarily join and whose loyalty is still rising, as well as half-baked artillerymen at artillery positions. They are also rationed two bowls of white rice a day, plus a small amount of pickled vegetables or meat.

However, the reward for True Qi Rice depends on their individual circumstances. For example, if they have a good work attitude or their shooting skills improve, they can still enjoy the True Qi Rice reward once a month. Otherwise, they will not receive this reward.

Finally, there are those who join his sky island but have no skills or cannot use them for the time being, such as children and pregnant women. Yang Fei stipulates that as long as they follow the rules, are ambitious, and are willing to learn, their treatment will be the same as the third tier.

Yang Fei specially set up some study classes for the children, because if they can achieve something in the future, then these children will be the future of these refugees from Qianwu Star.

In addition, Yang Fei selected a group of ambitious students from those who already had 80 loyalty points and whose loyalty was still rising, and then had them specially trained by the soldiers who joined him.

These guys can be considered as his future low-level commander reserves, contributing to the defense of his sky island. Of course, if one of them becomes a high-level commander, Yang Fei wouldn't mind taking him under his wing, which would be acknowledging him as a member of his home planet in terms of ability.

Then there are the most important farmers who grow white rice. While the cultivation of Qi rice can be managed by the Elf Hills, white rice is the responsibility of both the people of Qianwu Star and Azure Star.

Becoming a farmer isn't difficult, but because it involves food security, Yang Fei on Qianwu Star must carefully select these people. The most important thing is loyalty! Their loyalty level must be above 80 and must continue to rise.

Moreover, it's best if they are relatively young and free from any hidden diseases. This way, it can be guaranteed that these people will live long enough to wait for the new Qianwu Star people born here to grow up.

These old Qianwu Star people are still Qianwu Star people after all, and they still have their moral values ​​towards their home planet. If they have the opportunity to return to Qianwu Star in the future, then all the training they received will be in vain.

Therefore, only those born on one's own sky island can be considered one's true subjects. This is also true for the people of Yang Fei's own home planet. Therefore, the training of the first generation of subjects must be constrained by loyalty.

After this selection process, Yang Fei has approved 2924 people to join Sky Island, which is more than half of the total in the refugee camp. Basically, their loyalty is above 60, meaning that all those who are willing to join Sky Island have been included, including children and pregnant women who are temporarily unable to work. Yang Fei has basically agreed to them all.

Although more than two thousand people were temporarily assigned to the artillery position because there was little suitability between secondary and general jobs, Yang Fei was very satisfied with them, because some of them joined voluntarily, and others resolutely chose to join after failing the selection process.

Unlike those who were numb and only wanted to survive, Yang Fei saw hope for living in them.

In a place where the apocalypse has occurred, the hope of survival is of utmost importance! Those who willingly degenerate and harm their fellow citizens are not worth nurturing; keeping them around would only bring more harm.

Yang Fei believes that it is worthwhile to cultivate people who want to live and are full of hope for life, even if they have been numb or lost. As long as they can readjust and pick up their lost hope again, they are the ones who need to be trained. Only ambition and hope can support them to become martial artists.

Thus, there were more than 2,000 people at the artillery position; hundreds of basic and secondary workers; 30 young farmers who were loyal to themselves; hundreds of people in various interest classes and training programs; and hundreds of women and children.

This group constitutes Yang Fei's initial subjects among the refugees on Qianwu Star. Even the worst-treated among them can enjoy two meals a day and basic subject benefits, while the best-treated can enjoy cultivation resources such as True Qi Rice to help them recover their bodies and even become martial artists.

As for the remaining refugees, they were either a group of elderly people who were halfway to their graves, or people who had completely lost hope of surviving, or people whose loyalty had not increased for various reasons.

Although many of these people might have similar skills to junior workers, Yang Fei had no intention of currying favor with them. He already had enough people and the positions were limited for the time being, so there was no need to expand further.
