270: The territory's first mission! Luo Xu was terrified!

"Boss Su Lie! Rest assured! I, Luo Xu, will not disgrace you!"

Luo Xu's eyes were filled with tears, and he held Su Lie's hands, making an eager promise.

Su Lie smiled and patted Luo Xu's hand, saying solemnly: "After you move in, this will be our home! This home requires everyone's collective effort!"

"Here, I can guarantee everyone's safety, ensure everyone has ample food and clothing, and even equip everyone with the best possible gear!"

"But there's one thing!"

"I don't need useless people here!"

"Everyone will be compensated according to their work!"

... He led Luo Xu, Ling Xu, and Zhang Lin through the teleportation array in the Guard Zone and arrived at the living area.

The bright sunshine and verdant green grass here made all three of them take a deep breath.

Their emotions became increasingly agitated.

Just then.

Su Liya walked over: "Master! The Planting Area and the Animal Husbandry Area have already been arranged with personnel for management! Do you have any arrangements for the Resource Area?"

Her arrival made Ling Xu and Zhang Lin feel a slight tension and pressure.

Especially Su Liya's beautiful appearance, which made them feel a strange sense of crisis.

Su Lie took this opportunity to introduce her to everyone: "Her name is Su Liya! She is the chief steward of our territory! If I am not in the territory in the future, you can look for her if you have anything important! She represents me!"

"Hello, Steward Su!"

Luo Xu extended his hand, then quickly retracted it.

He felt he was unworthy to shake that fair hand.

Zhang Lin and Ling Xu also waved their hands, greeting her.

Su Liya responded gently to each of them.

Su Lie then handed over the Heart of Ice Iron Crystal he had obtained earlier, and the purple Epic quality Black Stone ore vein he had acquired in this Dungeon, to Su Liya: "Place these two mines in the Resource Area!"

"Regarding the excavation of mineral resources, focus mainly on minerals other than Stone and iron resources!"

"Oh, right! If there are any extra Little Skeleton or White Bone Demon General, temporarily incorporate them into the Black Tortoise Army to perform coordinated defense missions!"

At this stage, the Shelter had just successfully advanced.

Su Lie's main energy was focused on recruiting Vassals.

As for the gathering, planting, and mineral excavation of the Shelter's resources.

He decided to postpone it for a while.

"Furthermore! Tell Keqing! Resources from the fields, Paddy Field, and Vegetable Garden can be stockpiled first; there's no need to produce constantly!"

Su Lie issued another command.

Su Liya nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Rest assured! Keqing has already set the daily sacrifice standard! The main task there now is focused on cultivating crops like sugarcane, wheat, and sorghum!"

"Mm. Good!"

Only then did Su Lie feel relieved.

Su Liya's words also brought great joy to the hearts of the three, including Ling Xu.

Although they had known for a long time that Su Lie possessed such resources.

Hearing it now was certainly very exciting.

This meant that they would not only solve the problem of basic sustenance but also eat much better.

Luo Xu spoke solemnly to Su Lie: "Boss! I am a papermaker, and I can manufacture all kinds of paper! If your sugarcane is only going to be used for eating, why not give me some? I guarantee I can make paper from it!"

"Oh, right!"

"If you have enough fierce beast blood and membranes, I can also produce paper that can be used to write Mist Runes!"

Manufacturing ordinary paper was just his basic Skill.

However, manufacturing rune paper was his profession-exclusive Skill.

He had made it before.

But no Survivor currently understood Mist Runes.

He had called out in the Chat Group for a few days, and seeing that no one needed it, he stopped producing it.

Now was the perfect opportunity to state his capabilities.

Su Lie's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He had originally planned to learn Mist Runes through the spatial rift nexus he obtained from the meteor.

Due to various delays.

He hadn't started yet.

But the rune paper mentioned by Luo Xu certainly excited him.

If he could learn to write Runes.

rune paper would be essential!

"Alright! In that case! If you have any material requirements, you can tell me! Starting now, you are the territory's papermaking expert, specializing in manufacturing paper for the territory!"

Su Lie made arrangements for Luo Xu.

Before Luo Xu could respond.

A mist rule notification appeared in his line of sight.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully obtained the position of Papermaking Expert in the Mist Production and Construction Corps territory!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully received a mission assigned by the Lord: Papermaking!]

[For every 10,000 sheets of ordinary paper you manufacture, you will receive 100 Mist Points!]

[For every 100 sheets of low-tier rune paper you manufacture, you will receive 100 Mist Points!]

This stunned Luo Xu: "Holy crap!"

He hadn't expected to receive rewards for this.

A notification simultaneously appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully issued the territory's first mission!]

[Reward: 1,000 Mist Points!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully completed the first appointment of a Vassal!]

[Reward: 1,000 Mist Points!]

[Note: Every time your subordinate completes... they will receive a reward of 100 Mist Points. This reward is provided by the mist rule!]

"Huh? I issue the mission and assign the duties! As long as the subordinate completes it, the mist rule rewards them for me?"

Su Lie was startled, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Immediately afterward, another Mist notification jumped into his line of sight.

[Buzz!]

[When the Mist Points reward obtained by your subordinate reaches 100,000 points, the territory will receive a mandatory sacrificial mission!]

[Note: The mandatory sacrificial mission must be completed via the mist sacrificial altar!]

[Note: If you fail to complete the mandatory sacrificial mission within the specified time, the Vassal who triggered the mission will receive punishment from the mist rule!]

[Note: The mandatory sacrificial mission can be completed independently by the Vassal who triggered the condition, or it can be completed by the territory.]

[Note: There will be major rewards if the territory completes it. If an individual completes it, they will only receive a Mist Points reward!]

"It seems the benefits provided by the mist rule aren't so easy to claim after all!"

Su Lie looked up at Luo Xu: "Luo Xu! You saw the notification, right?"

"Yes, Boss! I never expected that simply using my expertise would earn me a reward from the mist rule! This is truly incredible! This must be a unique welfare benefit of the territory!"

Luo Xu said excitedly.

Su Lie shook his head and told Luo Xu about the mist rule notification he had seen: "...That is the content of the notification!"

"Hiss! Holy crap! Claiming this benefit makes me a little uneasy! By the way, do you know what kind of sacrificial missions they are?"

Luo Xu was stunned. He had originally thought this was a great thing, but it turned out to be a massive trap.

If he worked hard!

It was very likely that this sacrificial mission would have to be completed by him alone.

If he completed it independently, that would be fine.

But failing to complete it meant receiving punishment from the mist rule.

Who the hell would want to be punished for that!

Thinking of this.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of slackness: "How about... I just take it slow! After all, paper isn't exactly a necessity!"

Su Lie looked at Luo Xu and said with a smile: "Luo Xu! These sacrificial missions are quite serious!"

He immediately recounted the three missions he had personally experienced.

This made Ling Xu and Zhang Lin, who were standing nearby, tremble: "Holy crap! It requires that many resources? Is the mist rule treating us like cattle and horses to be exploited?"

"I definitely don't want this reward anymore!"

Luo Xu's legs felt weak; this was clearly a massive trap!

If he could easily obtain hundreds of millions of materials and millions of points.

Why would he sell himself to Su Lie!

He would have established his own power long ago!

Isn't this just tricking people?

He lowered his head awkwardly: "Boss! I can't handle this mission by myself! I don't want to implicate the territory either, so how about we forget about this territory mission for me!"

"Nonsense! Not only must you do it, but you must do it vigorously! We need as much paper as possible, especially rune paper!"

Su Lie looked at the shrinking Luo Xu and said arrogantly: "Since we can fleece the mist rule for wool! Then we must fleece it hard! If it is willing to pay your wages for me, I welcome it with open arms!"

"Holy crap! Boss! I'm not afraid of punishment; I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it and will just disappear! I'm not afraid of getting injured or anything, I'm just afraid of losing my life!"

Luo Xu's legs went soft, and he quickly looked up pitifully at Su Lie and said: "You are a generous man! Please don't make me do this! Just a little bit of regular work is fine! For most of the time, please send me out on exploration missions instead!"

"I seriously don't have the confidence to accept the mist rule's punishment!"

"This is clearly a death trap!"

He came here precisely because he was afraid of death.

A sacrificial mission of such immense scale.

He definitely wouldn't be able to complete it.

The mist rule's punishment was foreseeably severe.

He absolutely did not want to lose his life for 100,000 Mist Points.

Even if Su Lie was the Lord, he had to stand his ground.

The worst-case scenario was leaving the Chat Group...
