Chapter 2: How to Break the Starting Point of the Island, Territory Panel

Oh my G.o.d, what the deity said was true, a true lord of glory has appeared!

Lord, please lead us to survive here!

Our Lord, with your arrival, good times are coming!

These words entered his ears one by one.

Ji Chens eyes showed realization.

As if he had been struck by lightning, he suddenly understood the language. It should be a newcomers privilege to help them quickly grasp the common language of this world.

And these villagers should also be the same kind of new player privilege.

Looking at these ragged, skinny villagers, their faces were filled with lingering worries and anxieties, and their speech was full of excitement and awe.

In the face of Ji Chens arrival, they looked both happy and a little afraid.

Faced with more than forty pairs of hopeful eyes, Ji Chen felt slightly moved.

Be Quiet, he said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking.

The villagers immediately closed their mouths and looked at him eagerly.

I ask, you answer, understand?

Yes, respected Lord of Glory!

The villagers nodded in unison like school children answering a teachers question.

Satisfied with their response, Ji Chen continued, My first question is, what do you mean by the term Lord of Glory?

The villagers looked at each other in confusion, then a slightly bolder young man gathered the courage to speak up.

In half a month ago, the G.o.ds told us that today a Glory Lord will come, they possess some incredible power.

Ji Chen nodded lightly.

This answer wasnt really a problem, as the games promotion clearly stated that players would play as a lord in the game.

And the Glory Lord is the given ident.i.ty, allowing players to legitimately take over the territory.

Very well, now the second question, what is this place? Whats worth noticing around here?

With the first question as a preface, the villagers were less afraid and restrained.

They also seemed to feel that Ji Chen was actually easy to get along with, so they quickly answered the second question.

We dont know exactly where this is. A month ago, our s.h.i.+p was caught in a storm and was stranded here after the s.h.i.+p was damaged. We only know that this is an island.

Upon hearing their answer, Ji Chens brow furrowed.

This place was actually an island?

He initially thought that this place was just close to the seaside, but it turned out to be on an island surrounded by the sea!

This could be difficult.

Starting on an island was difficult, the middle stage was difficult, and the later stage was also difficult!

Not to mention the deadly issues of food and fresh water.

External transportation, tsunami disasters, land resources, and so on.

In his impression, islands were often a.s.sociated with death.

But fortunately, the villagers following words made him feel a little relieved.

However, when we went out to search for food earlier, we found that this island is quite large. We walked for a long time and didnt reach the other end. There are also many wild beasts in the jungle.

In the north of the territory, there is a stream where we get our freshwater.

Before you arrived, there seemed to be a mysterious force in this open s.p.a.ce that kept the beasts and monsters away

Ji Chens spirits were lifted.

Elemental Perception!

Beasts, streams, mysterious powers.

According to what they said, the size of this island should not be small, at least enough to form an ecosystem that can accommodate wild beasts.

Moreover, looking around, the surrounding forests are very dense, and there are plenty of resources such as wood.

Wild beasts dont approach this open s.p.a.ce, which is probably also a condition given to newbies to prevent players from being attacked as soon as they land and die immediately.

At this point, Jichen also remembered the stranded s.h.i.+p he saw on the beach earlier, which should be the s.h.i.+p mentioned by these villagers.

It seemsthe situation isnt so bad?

He pondered for a moment and continued to ask, Tell me your names and skills.

If they wanted to survive on the island, it was necessary to make use of everyones strengths and abilities.

So, asking about their specialties was still necessary.

Through two rounds of questioning, the villagers had already formed a vague understanding.

That is, Ji Chen was easy to get along with.

Upon hearing his words, someone quickly took the lead and spoke up.

Alan, Im a beginner blacksmith

Rui Si, Im a beginner tailor

Sake, I have no specialty or skill

Wilus, I have some experience in managing internal affairs

One by one, the villagers spoke out their names and skills.

There were blacksmiths, tailors, and also some who didnt have any skills at all.

When Ji Chen heard that someone had experience in domestic management, his eyes lit up.

He asked out loud.

Where is Wilus?

Honorable Lord of Glory, your humble Wilus is here.

A middle-aged man with a proper appearance took a step forward and bowed respectfully.

Ji Chens interest was piqued.

Not only did he look decent, but he also knew how to bow. He looked a little different from the other villagers.

You said you have some experience in internal affairs management?

Yes, my lord.

The middle-aged man nodded respectfully and replied, I used to be the butler of a n.o.bleman, a.s.sisting in managing the affairs of the n.o.bles territory.

But after the n.o.bleman died in battle, I left and ended up here after surviving a s.h.i.+pwreck while seeking a livelihood.

Ji Chen nodded with admiration in his eyes.

Upon hearing such a well-organized answer, he knew that Wilus was not an ordinary person. So he had an idea and tried to check his attribute panel.

[Wilus]

[Race: Human]

[Level: 4]

[Skill: Internal Affairs Management (green skill, has a certain level of internal affairs management ability, more than enough for an undeveloped territory)]

Frugality (White skill, good at food management, can reduce food consumption speed by 10%)

[Remark: Wilus was once a butler of a n.o.bleman. He has a certain level of internal management skills.]

It looked pretty good. There was a green skill and a white skill.

Among such a group of villagers in distress, he could be considered a talent.

When it came to talents, it was natural to make use of them.

Ji Chen nodded in understanding and said without much hesitation.

Wilus, I now appoint you as the internal affairs officer of the territory. You will a.s.sist me in managing the affairs of the territory.

The rest will listen to your orders and maintain the normal operation of the territory.

Wilus was stunned. Surprise appeared in his eyes, and his expression became slightly excited.

He then bowed again, with an even more respectful expression on his face.

I will a.s.sist you with all my heart, my lord, he said.

Nodding slightly, Ji Chen said, Now, you will take over the task of counting the number of villagers and their skills.

Yes, my lord, said Villus, who had just taken over as the new manager.

He quickly completed the count and reported back to Ji Chen. There were a total of 42 villagers.

Among them were three novice blacksmiths and two novice tailors.

There were also six villagers with novice fishermen and novice s.h.i.+pbuilder skills, who knew how to make small fis.h.i.+ng boats and catch fish, which was one of the compensations given at the beginning of the game for starting on a difficult island.

The others did not have any skills.

However, among the 42 players, almost a quarter of them had skills, which could be considered a talent pool.

According to further inquiries, it was discovered that these villagers, after experiencing a s.h.i.+pwreck and being stranded on this island, found this natural clearing in the forest and built a few simple stilted wooden houses to live in. The slightly larger stilted wooden house in the middle was built as the lords mansion after they received news a few days ago that a glory lord was coming. However, judging by their disheveled and hungry appearance, they probably havent been doing well here.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the villagers, the territory panel in the menu bar also lit up and can now be accessed.

Ji Chen pondered and opened the territory panel.
