There are still too few pioneers in the first batch... If we want to completely reclaim the lower areas that have been eroded by the rift, completely eliminate the dangers there, and make use of everything that can be used there, these pioneers are just a drop in the bucket.

Ron now only hopes that they can bring back supplies steadily from the rift to replenish the empty warehouses of the Earth Fire. Most of the problems in the lower area can be solved with sufficient resources. This is also the main pursuit of Ron's implementation of the "Pioneer Group" plan.

However, if we want to obtain the resources to completely solve the problems in the lower-level areas, it is far from enough to rely on these people now...

You know, the current predicament of the lower district is actually caused by the fact that other towns in the lower district were swallowed up by the rift, and a large number of refugees poured into Panyan Town.

The resources these refugees need to live a simple life of food and clothing are astronomical.

In order to solve all this temporarily... at least we have to take back all the large towns in the lower area that have been eroded by the rift.

By then, relying on the material supplies left in these large towns, the lower areas will be able to begin real development.

When the time is right, we can unify the upper and lower districts...

By then, with the support of the entire Beloberg, Ron can completely break free from the shackles and start to develop with his hands free.

It's not far to take back this world...

Just thinking about it, Ron felt that the future in this simulation was full of expectations.

The text on the light screen faded, and new notes continued to pop up.

[After launching the "Pioneer Group" plan, you began to carry out cultural propaganda, and various new inspirational slogans were painted on the walls of Panyan Town. ]

[All the old propaganda posters related to the Dihuo Organization were torn down and replaced with new ones under your personal design.]

[You try to alleviate the livelihood problems of the lower classes as much as possible under extremely limited resource conditions. ]

[The livelihood issues in the lower-class areas have been alleviated, and your propaganda about the Earth Fire Organization has been accepted by the vast majority of people.]

[The members of the Dihuo Organization have a stronger sense of belonging to the organization. Under your leadership, everyone knows that they are on the right path.]

[The faction "Earth Fire" has gained a new entry: United as One (temporary)]

[United as One (temporary): We are all on the right path, and success at the end is beckoning us... Even though we face the hardships of hunger and cold every day and night, no one has ever wavered - this must be the last darkness before dawn.

During the existence of this entry, the loyalty of all members of the "Underground Fire" faction will steadily increase. The work efficiency of all members will increase by 20%, the administrative efficiency of the Underground Fire organization will increase by 50%, and the penalty for organizational size will be reduced by 100%. 】

Looking at the entry that popped up on the light screen, Ron couldn't help but smile.

I never thought... that temporary cultural promotion could produce such temporary entries?

I feel like it’s the combination of previous policies that has completely corrected the deficit in the lower-income areas, and people’s lives are indeed visibly getting better, which led to the emergence of this entry…

Ron looked at the entry on the light screen thoughtfully. The effect of this entry perfectly met his current needs - after this entry popped up, Ron would be able to train pioneers with full loyalty in batches.

If you want to form a large enough pioneering group, you just need to quickly expand the scale of the Earth Fire Organization and recruit new members on a large scale.

Originally, Ron was concerned about the administrative problems that would arise from expanding the size of the organization, and whether it would lead to bloated organizational management. However, this entry directly solved even these small concerns for Ron.

The 50% increase in administrative efficiency and the 100% reduction in the penalty for organizational size were almost enough to make Ron lose most of his expansion power.

The entries on the light screen also faded at this time, and a new option popped up at the right time:

[The development of Dihuo is booming. As the leader of the organization, you have new ideas for development. 】

【请选择——】

【1. Operate steadily.】

You think that the current Dihuo organization is sufficient, and that it is enough to mainly improve the loyalty of its members and develop steadily.

You decide to continue to move forward steadily at your current pace. You will not be given new options until the pioneering group reports victory from the front.

【2. Accelerate expansion.】

You think that the current Earth Fire Organization can no longer satisfy your pursuit of development. What the lower-level areas need is not a small-scale public welfare organization... Perhaps, you need to lay the foundation for an empire.

You decide to accelerate the expansion of the Earth and Fire Organization. You will begin to take back power and gradually move towards a new path of development.

After successfully integrating the upper and lower districts, you will have the opportunity to establish an empire, and the public's dissatisfaction will be moderately reduced. 】

Looking at the choices on the light screen, Ron did not hesitate at all.

This is a rare opportunity... Before this temporary entry disappears, we must quickly form a pioneering group large enough to retake Rivet Town.

We must not let this opportunity slip away.

Option No. 1 is not a steady operation, in fact it is more like standing still - the lower-level areas now no longer need a ground fire that is merely a public welfare organization.

Dihuo needs to have more power, more credibility... and be able to control the entire lower area.

After successfully retaking Rivet Town, the matter of retaking the wanderer camp and mechanical settlement must also be put on the agenda.

With this in mind, Ron chose option number two without hesitation. The entry on the light screen faded and new text popped up:

[You have stepped up the recruitment propaganda for the Earth Fire Organization. ]

[There is an endless stream of miners coming to sign up to join the Dihuo organization. You can see the passion on everyone's face, and no one has any dissatisfaction with Dihuo. ]

【Everyone is looking forward to you leading the underground fire and bringing a new dawn to the lower zone. 】

Sure enough, nothing went wrong. The stability of the lower areas has become very high due to the previous policies. Everyone is looking forward to the underground fire. It is indeed the right time to expand and develop...

Ron thought thoughtfully, watching the notes continue to pop up on the screen:

[The scale of the Earth Fire Organization has expanded. 】

[A month has passed, and you have successfully selected a group of members with full loyalty from the current Dihuo Organization.]

[They took the "Immunity to Snow and Wind" and gained the evolution of the essence of life. ]

[At the same time, the pioneer group that had been deep in the Rift for a month returned from the Rift. ]

The text on the light screen faded, and a new picture emerged:

The lower area remained dark for an unknown period of time, but Xier led the pioneering team back with a full load, and there seemed to be a faint glow emanating from her body.

They returned to Rock Town with truckloads of supplies and saluted Ron solemnly.

"You've lived up to expectations, Xi'er."

Ron smiled and patted Xier's shoulder, his eyes full of praise:

"Take advantage of these two days to have a good rest, Xier, you will be busy soon..."

As Ron spoke, the expression on his face faded and became serious:

"The pioneer group needs to expand, and I have already selected the candidates. I will arrange for them to train with you in a few days."

"After you have completed your running-in training, I will personally lead you on an important mission..."

"Important mission?"

Xier was stunned, with a hint of doubt on her face:

"What to do?"

Ron silently looked up at the end of the road where the pioneer group came back, and looked at Rivet Town, which was once the commercial hub of the Lower District and the largest town in the Lower District with a crowded crowd.

"Take back everything that was taken away from the Lower Realm by the Rift."

The image on the screen faded, and new text popped up:

[The pioneer group brought a lot of materials from the Rift. You invested all of them in the construction of the lower area, and received great recognition from the miners in the lower area.]

[The public's recognition of you has increased, and the stability of the lower-level areas has increased. ]

[You started training the new pioneers. With the help of "Immunity to Snow and Wind", even the pioneers who had never had combat experience had a much stronger physique than ordinary people and adapted to the training very easily.]

[These pioneers are making significant progress every day. It won’t take long for the pioneer group to step into the Rift again. ]

[You know one thing very well - those who carry firewood for the public should not freeze to death in the wind and snow.]

[The pioneers risked their lives to open up new territories for the lower classes, and the people of the lower classes should also give the pioneers the treatment they deserve. 】

[In order to achieve this goal, you began to conduct a certain degree of publicity to the pioneers. ]

[“For the survival of everyone, the Earth Fire recruited some members to become pioneers and go deep into the snow to open up the territory.”]

[“For the future of the lower zone, they risked their lives and voluntarily stepped into the snowstorm and the Rift to seize the supplies that everyone desperately needs from the creatures of the Rift.”]

[“To become a Trail Blazer is to bet everything on the future of the Lower District. The Trail Blazers are the eternal heroes of the Lower District.”]

[Words like this are spreading in the streets of Panyan Town. No one knows that you are the one spreading the news. Everyone thinks that the news was accidentally leaked by the pioneering group of Dihuo.]

[For a while, news about the pioneer group spread everywhere, and everyone was paying close attention to it, but no one knew about the "Immunity to Snow and Wind" that you had kept strictly secret.]

【Time passed day by day, and finally it was the day I had booked. 】

[You lead the pioneering group, which has expanded several times, to leave the Earth Fire Station and prepare to go to Rivet Town, which has been completely swallowed up by the Rift.]

The text on the light screen faded, and a new picture emerged.

The pioneering team, ready to go, lined up in neat formation, quietly left the Earth Fire Base, and headed for Rivet Town under the leadership of Ron.

Panyan Town should have been extremely quiet late at night, but at this moment it was inexplicably noisy.

Groups of miners spontaneously walked out of their homes and silently watched the pioneers march towards the Rift, their eyes full of respect.

A little girl in patched clothes ran out of her house barefoot, holding a lollipop with a wrinkled wrapper. She handed it to Xier who was standing at the front of the line:

"Sister, sister, I'll give you this..."

Xi'er didn't quite understand: "Why do I need this? Keep it for yourself."

The little girl looked at the lollipop in her hand reluctantly, but still stuffed it into Xier's hand:

"Everyone says you are heroes. Mom and Dad say heroes are better kids than good kids. Good kids deserve rewards, so this is for you!"

She shyly stuffed the lollipop into Xier's hand, and then ran back, hiding behind her parents, only daring to look at everyone cautiously.

Xier stared at the lollipop in her hand in a daze. Ron smiled and patted Xier on the shoulder, teasing:

"Nata told me that you were always a bad kid when you were little? Because you never enjoyed the treatment of a good kid, are you racking your brains on how to deal with the gifts from children now?"

Looking at Xier's slightly red cheeks, Ron added:

"Shy?"

"Who, who is shy?!" Xier was a little angry. "I am very popular among children. It's not like I haven't received such messages before!"

She angrily tore open the crumpled candy wrapper, stuffed the lollipop into her mouth, slightly turned her face away, and whispered:

“It’s pretty sweet…”

Ron's eyes swept over the other pioneers - not just Xier, in fact many of them also received gifts from the citizens.

It could be a thin scarf, or some dry food that looks pretty good... The citizens of Panyan Town are trying their best to convey their goodwill to the pioneer group in the best ways they can.

It is what the people expect and what the people want.

Ron's mouth curled up into a faint smile, but he quickly stopped smiling, walked quickly to the front of everyone, and said loudly:

"Alright! That's enough for the farewell!"

"The First Earth Fire Development Group, listen to my orders—"

He pointed forward with his hand, full of vigor and enthusiasm:

"Destination: Rivet Town, let's go!"

PS: Sorry, I had something urgent to do in real life today, so I was forced to postpone the update until the evening. It’s my problem. I owe you two more chapters. I should be able to resume updating in the real world tomorrow.

The amount of money I owed for yesterday's bounty was 111÷150=0.74 in monthly tickets, 688÷15000=0.04 in rewards, and 40÷150=0.26 in razor blades. Together, I owed you one update. Considering the two updates I owed you for my late update, and the five updates I owed yesterday, I still owe eight updates.

I'll start paying it back tomorrow... I have something urgent to do today, so I have to pay it back with red bean paste...

Chapter 4 - Reclaiming Rivet Town, Stolen Berry of Blessing (k)
