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

I killed quite a few slimes this time, and I need to absorb the experience properly. I don't want to waste time going back to the warehouse or the core thatched hut.

However, Yang Fei really needs to take some time to adjust the distribution of resources on the sky island. Currently, all resources are basically piled up in his core cabin, while the basic materials produced by the lumberyard and quarry are stored in the warehouse.

There's still room for it now, but once the Lost Jungle yields its harvest, the large amount of timber definitely can't be stored in the cabin and warehouse. Yang Fei will need to arrange an extra space to store these massive materials.

The main warehouse can't be upgraded right now; it only has ten slots and a stacking limit of 100, which isn't enough to hold much. Upgrading the warehouse requires iron ingots, which I haven't unlocked yet, so I can't upgrade it and have to leave it outside.

The warehouse can now only be used to store supplies, such as the original white rice, the 100 jin of fresh meat that Yang Fei purchased, and the timber and stone produced by the logging camp and quarry. There is no room left for the white rice that Yang Fei purchased afterward.

The white rice is now stored in the chests dropped by the mimic monsters. Although the number of slots in both the white and gray chests is somewhat small, they can still hold up to 500 items of various kinds, which is much better than the initial warehouse. That's definitely true.

The only problem is that the boxes containing items can't be stored in the system slots or warehouse like normal treasure chests, and boxes can't be nested inside each other, which is rather awkward. You have to know that these things have a certain volume, and having too many of them takes up a lot of space, so Yang Fei can only pile them up in his thatched hut.

Now the thatched huts are getting a bit crowded, which means that Yang Fei not only has to arrange a storage area for large materials like timber, but also has to build a storage area for crates.

The key issue is that if these boxes are piled up outside, unlike the core cabin and warehouse where only Yang Fei's permission is allowed to enter, it would require additional personnel to watch over them, which would be somewhat troublesome.

Especially considering Yang Fei's current situation, those refugees from another world are all sickly. Although Yang Fei's demands and the defensive tower's military deterrence are present, it's hard to guarantee that people won't do foolish things when they can't survive.

Therefore, Yang Fei had to send people to monitor the group of refugees, and at the same time, when setting up the box storage area, he also had to send people to watch over his own boxes.

Double protection is always the right thing to do, especially when Yang Fei saw Lola leading a large number of inferior demons to the city wall to find him, Yang Fei finally became convinced of this idea.

Although he had many demons under his command before, he had sent most of them to the battlefield or to work. The number of people he could spare to patrol the sky islands and monitor the refugees was really small. Now that these people have arrived, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Managing a floating island is like this: a small change can have far-reaching consequences. What seems like a wonderful idea requires various rules to fill the many loopholes it creates, even something as seemingly good as "harvesting spoils."

For a manager, after receiving the goods, what awaits them may not only be the joy of the harvest, but also the various tasks of storage, distribution, rewards and punishments that need to be done.

Fortunately, his subordinates were all demonic beings who were absolutely loyal to him. Without the consideration of loyalty, his situation was much simpler than that of most lords. In addition, Mona helped him share the burden, which made things much easier for him. Otherwise, Yang Fei would have really wanted to quit.

"My lord, in this recruitment, we have recruited one succubus servant, which is myself, 80 Abyssal One-Horned Lesser Demons, and 19 Abyssal One-Horned Burrowing Beasts. The Burrowing Beasts have been placed under the care of the Lesser Demons in the breeding area you previously planned. I have brought all the Lesser Demons recruited this time to pay homage to you and ask you to assign us tasks."

When Lola saw Yang Fei looking at her group, her gaze, which had been on Mona, immediately shifted to Yang Fei, and she bowed respectfully to him. The 80 lesser demons behind her also bowed to Yang Fei in unison.

Yang Fei nodded and looked at the panels of all the lesser demons. As expected, all the lesser demons had full loyalty, and the newly recruited burrowing beasts were the same. He wondered what the underlying principle was.

"Some of you know how to use ballistae, flamethrowers... never mind, whoever wants to be promoted to a martial artist first can stay and control the defensive towers. Priority will be given to those who can skillfully control the defensive towers to kill enemies or those with special abilities."

Yang Fei originally wanted to see if there were any talents like Yu Yi among these lesser demons, but then he thought of the two lesser demons who had recommended themselves, and lost interest. Talents are not found by these lesser demons recommending themselves; they need to be discovered by him, the lord. But he couldn't be too direct; he had to be tactful.

After all, these are his true subjects, subjects who work all day long with only one meal a day and no demands. As a lord in the early stages of his business, he should treat them better.

Lola didn't answer, but just looked up at Mona next to Yang Fei, smiled, and went straight to Yang Fei's other side. The two didn't exchange any words, but they were subtly opposed to each other, seemingly having the same abilities.

Although the two succubi behind him didn't speak, Yang Fei felt a chill run down his spine. It was an almost instinctive biological urge. He hadn't felt this way when Mona was alone, but now he felt his lower body trembling.

The lesser demons in front of him also began to step forward one after another, picking and choosing. Yang Fei selected a total of 27 lesser demons, adding them to the previous 23, for a total of 120 lesser demon subjects. Yang Fei directly put 50 of them into the battlefield.

Yang Fei then assigned tasks to the remaining lesser demons, temporarily dividing them into three groups. One group joined the previous work team to continue participating in the construction of the sky island; another group patrolled the sky island and monitored the group of refugees; and the last group was called the brick-moving team, but they weren't actually made to move bricks, but rather to go wherever they were needed!

For example, if the team that explored the Lost Jungle returns, this team can rest for a day, and the next time they enter, they can select people from this "brick-moving team".

For example, on the battlefield, other lesser demons need to rest or get injured, so a reserve team that can be deployed at any time is needed, and can be flexibly replaced directly from this brick-moving team at any time.

In short, it boils down to one sentence: go wherever you're needed! This is the most relaxed team. Yang Fei allows them to relax and slack off during the week, but when it's time to work, they must step in promptly. That's Yang Fei's definition of this team.

After arranging everything, it was almost 11 a.m. All the defense towers were about to be fully charged again. Yang Fei felt the true energy accumulating in his body and didn't think too much about it for the time being. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb it slowly.
