I Like This Dream!

1 Chapter 08. Chapter 108

After the roads were clear, Anxu could obtain food, manpower, money, etc. from the Thebes border and Abery County, which greatly reduced the difficulty of building a city. Only then did she realize why the winter in Wenjia Luo was so difficult. She could not help but accidentally lead a group to open a new map instead of directly refreshing the next world. The level of suicide was equivalent to that in a world without communication equipment and convenient transportation. Bring only one hundred yuan to live in another place. Ah, she is indeed in this kind of world.

Transportation is so important. After all, we need to build roads, teleportation arrays, trains, cars, and airplanes... Just think about the last one. An Xu doesn't know anything about the principles of these things. Instead of letting researchers fool around, he might as well make teleportation arrays. Do more research on superpowers. Ordinary people just go and build roads.

Half of the young men were sent to the military camp to be tempered, and the remaining ex-soldiers who were expelled still refused to give in. An Xu is not in a hurry. Road construction can be contracted to merchants. The merchant guilds that are trying to expand their territory have been waiting for a long time. As for those former soldiers who talk too much, haha, just wait and see.

There are many things that do not require armed warriors, and a paralyzed scientist can create far more value than hundreds of workers can create. Three hundred and sixty lines, every line is number one, and the arrival of Anxu has led to the emergence of many new professions in Wenjialuo, which has a monotonous structure.

Nurses, lab assistants, announcement commentators, workers, waiters... to name a few. There are many vacancies in all walks of life, and the salary is generous, regardless of physical fitness or gender. The violent organizations are temporarily full. Since some people look down on these jobs that "warriors are not supposed to do", let them stay at home. There are plenty of people who can fill the vacancies.

The non-cooperation of the former soldiers (especially the alphas who, even though they were poor, were still full of a sense of superiority that they did not know where to come from) promoted the re-employment of the old, weak, sick and disabled in Wengaro. The disabled, the elderly and omegas who had the most no way out first tentatively signed up for unheard-of positions. Under the training, they changed day by day and lived a life that was completely different from what they once had. They became An Xu's Living sign. These old, weak, sick and disabled people can get jobs and wages, so can I not do the same? With this in mind, more and more people who were considered weak in Wengaro's view joined Count Anna's system.

When the old warrior's spouse also began to secretly go to Anxu to work part-time without telling her alpha, the roads built by merchants became accessible and caravans came.

They are not the team that collected crystal cores according to the seasons in the past. Most of the merchants who came here to prospect for gold brought half of their belongings with them and prepared with full sincerity. The new merchant guild born in Thunder Castle has been developing non-stop, and now its momentum is approaching the noble merchants who have been entrenched in Tewen City for many years. The merchants who made their fortune under the protection of the Thunder Queen are grateful and loyal to Anxu, but what makes them rush to this place is still their profit-seeking nature.

They trust Count Anna, they believe that she will still support business, they believe that the officials under her rule are fair and not exploitative, and they believe that her place will soon become a new prosperous city, just like they believe in a giant dragon that can turn gold.

The generous income increases people's purchasing power. Merchants are attracted by this and bring many commodities. Various commodities in turn stimulate people's desire to buy. You are rich, and people who are almost as rich as you have bought nice-looking new clothes, and they look as good-looking as foreign businessmen. Do you want to buy them? You are rich, and a convenient and durable fuel has appeared on the market, which can shorten the time it takes to make a fire and cook by more than half. With this time, you can earn an extra hour of money. Do you want to buy it? The felt hats in this store are better than the one you were itching for a long time but missed because you had no money. The food brought by that store is something you have never eaten but the smell makes your mouth water... As if overnight, Wen People in Jialuo were immersed in the atmosphere of buying and selling.

Ex-soldiers also want to buy it. In addition to new products, there are also informative performances, and, ahem, there is a place called "Nightingale's Throat". The omegas there are as cute as angels and as seductive as devils, but the price also makes people want to go to heaven. However, these people who had no income and could only rest on their laurels suddenly discovered that money was no longer durable, and the little savings were only a drop in the bucket for the things they wanted to buy.

In fact, the money has not become less, but the good things that used to be seen only once every few years have suddenly become everywhere.

Even if some people can resist the excitement of shopping around for people who were inferior to them in the past, life has become difficult for them.

The place where you could build a tent casually has become the count's private territory... No, in fact, Wenjialuo originally belonged to its lord, but the previous lord couldn't even occupy an acre of land by himself, so how could he care about the common people there? What are you doing in the nooks and crannies, but the new lord, Count Anna, is very stingy in strange places. Land is enclosed several hundred meters outside the fortress town, and you have to pay her to rent it.

The bachelors found that the money they saved for getting married was rapidly depreciating. Omegas and some weak betas could now make money on their own. After working under the count for a few months, the money they saved through careful calculation exceeded the money spent on the marriages of the lavish soldiers. Ex-soldiers with families are even more depressed. It's so honorable to be the pillar of the family. Your spouse and children have to look at your face when speaking. Being nice to them is a gift. It's your duty to beat them up when you're not in a good mood. Hey, eat and drink from me. Mine, why don't you hit me and scold me a few times? Even if you beat him to death, it’s all a family matter! Nowadays, the spouse goes out to make money, the children go to school to gain horizons, and everyone comes up with their own fallacies. The respect due to the head of the family is in jeopardy.

If you don't let your children go to school, someone from the law enforcement team will come to your door the next day. It's actually illegal to prevent undifferentiated children over eight years old from going to school, even if you are their biological father. If you don't let your spouse go to the factory, fine, everyone will starve together. Others are well-fed and well-dressed, but you are the only one who is half-starved and half-fed. Isn't that embarrassing? If you accept your fate and let your spouse support the family, and the shameful label of being a soft-boiler is not mentioned, the situation at home will be turned upside down. If you dare to slap your spouse in the face, your spouse will dare to go out alone with the children to eat, spend all the money, and only give you a piece of lukewarm cheese cake.

Many angry ex-soldiers tried to return to their old career, another old career, Green Forest Warriors.

To put it bluntly, it means stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and so on. There are not many fat sheep from other places nowadays.

These people with evil intentions were sharpening their knives on the fat sheep from other places. Only when they took action did they realize that there was a shepherd tiger next to the fat sheep. An earth wall appeared in mid-air, several wind blades appeared, and a spark appeared... Why the hell are there so many superpowers! Shouldn't they gather around the lord and make things and produce food for that count as bodyguards?

An Xu said that there is really no need for this.

After this group of stupid leaders were killed to scare the monkeys, the old warriors finally realized that the last way to make a fortune was also blocked. People who are stubborn but not so stubborn that they would rather continue to suffer and starve to death have no choice but to give in, hold their noses and go to the recruitment office, asking to be transferred to some of the highest-paying professions.

"It's a pity that you did not meet the recruitment requirements." The customer service staff at the recruitment office said with a smile.

"What?" the ex-soldier roared in disbelief, "Why can so-and-so from so-and-so's family do this! He's an omega who gets out of breath after running a few steps!"

"The first batch of people to sign up will enjoy the benefits of free training before starting their jobs. That group of people is already full. After that, the recruitment requirement has been added to have basic education. You are not satisfied with this." The customer service said without fear at all.

The former soldiers who thought they could easily squeeze out the "emergency old, weak, sick and disabled" by lowering their heads suffered a huge blow. Many people did not want to believe that those positions were not preset for them, and this series of measures was not Anna's. The count suppressed them as a means of compromise.

Just by the way.

Who cares what gender I am working for? An Xu looked at the joint letter from the former soldiers with an idiot's eyes, feeling that they were arrogant to an embarrassing level. Those who need combat effectiveness already have pickets, urban management and the army in training. Other positions require good professional qualities, mentality, knowledge, etc. Those fools have nothing. How can they have the confidence to think that they are willing to "put down the dignity of soldiers" "Can you squeeze out those people who are doing a good job? Is your dignity and love worth a penny?

An Xu chuckled in his heart and threw the letter into the trash can without spending another minute on these alpha cancers.

Former soldiers with normal IQs have begun to look for an industry that suits them. Those with insufficient IQs can be left to fend for themselves, and these half-baked products who cannot join the private army and the army will not cause trouble. The more important thing now is still the beast tide.

The spiritual cores in An Xu's body still ate more and vomited less, and no matter how much crystal cores he drank, his strange energy did not improve. Without the ability to cover the whole map with artillery, if you want to defend the city, you have to put some effort elsewhere. Thinking that he had the right time, right place, and the right people, Count Anna was not pursuing a loss, but a complete victory, or even no injuries.

On the army side, An Xu took out all the military training methods he had thought of, and left the details to his veteran Chris and the little boss he believed to be credible to complete. After the orders and prohibitions were fulfilled and they learned to cooperate with each other, Anxu asked them to divide into groups of five or six to defend and attack the city, and then go to the forest to fight the alien beasts with real swords and guns. Chris asked if he needed to practice charging in formation and train more cavalry. Anxu shook his head.

Wengalu Fortress is located on a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although there are vast plains and forests outside, there is a large river that is difficult to cross on one side and a steep cliff on the other side. The herds want to attack the fortress. Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge. In the past, cavalry and charging cannon fodder were needed to consume and disperse the beast herd before the beast tide attacked the fortress. The beast tide came so fiercely that if they were not consumed and dispersed in advance, the corpses would pile up on top of the wall.

Now, the consumption can be handed over to someone else. An Xu thought like this and touched the iron cannon.

Half a year after losing contact, Alva, who had his own scientific plug-in, turned the salute into a completely lethal artillery. The muzzle of the gun was as big as a sea bowl. According to the entourage, the lethality was also amazing. This was especially true during the winter at the Thebes Defense Line. It has been revealed on the beast tide. In addition to those with ice powers who can cool down the barrel of the cannon, there are also some recorders who are involved in the production of artillery, can teach how to use the artillery, and are responsible for measuring the effect of the artillery. After the beast tide in winter, Alva made further improvements to the artillery. Judging from the way the recorders looked at the beast tide, I am afraid that rather than reducing the burden on Anxu, what those scientists wanted to do was experiment with improving the effectiveness of the artillery...

Everything is ready.

According to the time of outbreak of beast tides over the years, the summer beast tide should be within this week. Anxu, who had done everything he could (although it mainly moved his mouth) had nothing to do and was tired of being next to Chris.

"How does the Wen Jia Luo beast tide break out?" she said.

"After the sun rains, the temperature rises, and the beast tide begins." Chris said, "There are many strange beasts... but I have never seen the beast tide in Tibes, so it's hard to compare."

"Is the sun rain good?"

An Xu had seen "Sun Rain", a symbol of the summer beast tide, in the information, and was only interested in it. He just had nothing to do and wanted to talk to Chris.

"Quite," Chris paused, "It's beautiful, but also scary."

An Xu nodded reluctantly. He couldn't imagine how scary it would be on a sunny day and rainy days. She was speechless and said, "There is a legend over there that Taiyang Yu is a fox or a mouse who comes to welcome the bride."

There is no such legend in Abori, right? Chris thought, is it the legend of Alinggu? No, the Holy City would not attribute such celestial phenomena to strange beasts that God despises. Before he could figure out the reason, Count Anna suddenly stood up like a rabbit whose ears were frightened by the disturbance.

Something is approaching.

This premonition was just like many years ago, in the sky above the Tibes defense line, looking at the snow clouds spreading towards this place from a distance. An Xu's heart beat very fast, as strong as if she had grown another heart. If she could calm down and meditate, she would find that it was not her heart that was beating rapidly, but her spiritual core.

Is this a necessary event for the first beast wave in the new map? An Xu thought and opened the window. After several years of growth, that vague premonition has become very concrete, like a blinking dot on a GPS map. She looked far into the distance. The calm sky seemed to be burned by heat waves, and the air was strangely distorted.

Something is approaching.

Chris stood up immediately, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, his brows gradually furrowed. A line of red clouds appeared on the horizon, and the fire clouds that were supposed to appear when the sun set actually appeared at noon. An Xu put his hands on his eyebrows, not seeing clearly what was in the red cloud. Chris had already taken off the collar with a solemn expression and quickly armed himself.

"Sun Rain," he said, "The beast tide is about to begin."
