The Truth of Magic

Chapter 597 I'm Really Not a Barbarian

"Have you counted the number of casualties?"

Standing on the tower, Zhao Xu looked at the vast land of Yanan in front of him, and asked Wang Ningwei who was beside him.

At this time, on the plains that had been blessed by the goddess and transformed from a place of death emitting negative energy to a fertile land, beacon smoke was everywhere.

After the war, countless players and civilians who participated in the battle sat on the ground, accompanied by the remains of the corpses around them, enjoying the rare tranquility at this moment.

And Wang Ningwei, who was wearing a tall dress, shook her head, "The total number of casualties is still being counted, and I'm afraid that at least 10% of the total number of people were injured."

Wang Ningwei has not closed her eyes since yesterday, and has been constantly coordinating the various newly established departments in the rear to distribute and coordinate materials.

When there are more mother-in-law departments, it is easy to have friction with each other, so she has to coordinate.

She frowned, "Although those celestial creatures have cast healing and recovery spells on the people of Yanan before they left, they are still in vain."

"Those whose attributes are temporarily injured can still recover through self-cultivation. But those who are infected with toxins or permanently lose their attributes, we need our help."

Zhao Xu shook his head, "Let's distribute all the magic supplies we hoarded before. I will raise those that are in short supply as soon as possible."

It's time for Antinoya and the "treasure house" he mentioned to be on the agenda.

"Then there are a few more recent developments. On the one hand, the temples of the gods have stepped up their efforts, sending more priests into the wilderness to preach, and even starting to build temples."

"On the other hand, we still need you to decide on the structure of our entire Yanan." Said Wang Ningwei and handed over a stack of parchment.

Zhao Xu took it over and took a look, only to realize that in just two weeks, Wang Ningwei had recruited and registered a population of nearly 50 million, mainly in the Huaxia area.

It is an exaggeration to say that it is already equal to South Korea, and it is almost catching up with Britain and France.

To say that it is weak, it is just over twice the population of Pengcheng in the previous life, which is equivalent to the level of two first-tier cities.

"It seems that we still have to speed up the progress." Zhao Xu flipped through the latest structure planning document in his hand, which was painstakingly worked out by countless elites. He didn't have any complaints, but felt that Yanan's current progress was still insufficient.

Naturally, he is not greedy enough to want to include billions of people, but now it is not even one-twentieth of the country in his previous life, which is too shabby.

Especially now Yanan can be said to be blessed by nature, and it is not an exaggeration to crush the entire wild and dead land.

"I was originally talking about the inclusion of other camps. The scale generally increases exponentially. This was not a good talk, but it was suddenly interrupted by this wave of undead. It is estimated that everyone The big camp has to be delayed for a few days for reorganization."

Speaking of which, Wang Ningwei also showed affirmative eyes, "Fortunately, this time the goddess gave you a helping hand, which further established your reputation in Zhongxia. In the past, those forces that were not affiliated with Yanan could at most accept your kindness for a linen shirt. Now It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace, and naturally our subsequent negotiations and intimidation will be much easier."

"Especially, everyone knows that the wave of undead is a natural disaster that breaks out regularly in the barbaric dead land, so there are more forces that want to join Yanan."

At this time, Wang Ningwei also showed a little embarrassment, "The key question now is whether we can quickly grow the entire team, that is, the entire management echelon."

Conquering the world and defending the world are two different things, otherwise there would be no story about releasing military power with a glass of wine.

For example, in the non-basic occupation system, non-combat-oriented occupations include civilians, noble families, and experts.

If those in power in the previous life can seamlessly enter new management positions, they can also quickly become level 4 or 5 civilians, noble families, experts, etc.

Even after this undead battle, there are non-player mercenaries who have grown to level 2, and even level 2 civilians are not rare.

Although they still don't have much fighting power, increasing their Hit Dice means that their various qualities are continuing to improve.

You can also enjoy the promotion treatment of one specialty every 3 levels and one attribute point every 4 levels.

"This is going to give you a headache."

Although Zhao Xu's "Negotiation" skills could be built up very high with spells, he could also get along with everyone like a spring breeze.

But he was born with a lone ranger character.

To put it too far is to be a proper science and engineering nerd, who can live a lifetime with his hobbies alone.

If it is not necessary, I am too lazy to communicate with the outside world.

Let him play various arbitration and management roles, and face the current muddy situation, he naturally has lingering fears.

The management personnel recruited at this time are not bad. Under the crisis of survival, most of them are honestly cooperating.

But the same rice feeds all kinds of people, and the world will never be short of wonderful things. It is also seen that in the echelon of excellent talents, there are also personality defects.

Not to mention that the original Huaxia was considered a society of human relations. After time travel, it is even more about who is relatives, who is friends, who is a fellow villager, and so on.

Just the selection of the first batch of management personnel to form the entire current basic Yanan structure, there are not a few people who tell jokes behind their backs and spread news.

During the two consecutive weeks, it was rare for him to go home a few times, and there were people with great powers who were able to pass the words to his parents and relay them to him.

Even a few relatives of his family came around and asked him, why did Wang Ningwei entrust the entire administrative power of Yanan to Wang Ningwei, did he decide to choose her as his wife?

Fortunately, Zhao Xu had a high aura at this moment. When he looked at the other party and smiled, the other party would instinctively shut up.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu still patiently opened the latest version of Yanan's "Organizational Structure", which was the "White Paper on Power".

He and Wang Ningwei were just students before time travel, no matter how smart they are now, they still have to respect things like "experience" and "professionalism".

So their organizational structure also adopts the national template before the time travel, with slight revisions, but the department is naturally much streamlined, and there is not too much vertical layering.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu looked at the "management" who were selected this time. Many of them were famous and well-known before time travel. There were elites from all walks of life. Naturally, these people were also drawn into the entire Yanan system. .

Similarly, some powerful players that he had not come into contact with before also appeared on the list.

Including some impressions of Zhao Xu's previous life, he was the kind of big villain who was born rebellious and good at betrayal, and there were not a few players who wanted to rebel against independence.

But he just smiled and didn't intend to do anything more, Yanan didn't arrest thought criminals.

The whole Yanan, he intends to grow like a sheep, adding fire from time to time.

If he really fell, he would pat his butt and become a legendary mage.

"Let's publish this document like this, and then let them take up their jobs as soon as possible, and carry out the work of pensions and vocational training for this war. There are still too few professionals in Yanan."

"The wave of undead in the next month, although the scale will not be as exaggerated as this time, let's face it with caution."

Wang Ningwei also nodded, "Well, several player unions have already dispatched elite teams to investigate why this wave of undead is so large."

Speaking of which, Wang Ningwei pointed to the bottomless caves dug out of the plain. Those undead legions emerged from these caves, and then there were more and more of them, until they filled the mountains and plains.

"Well, I'll take a look later."

Zhao Xu also realized the benefits of letting go of the shopkeeper. He didn't have to spend too much time thinking about it. He probably knew how the whole system worked. It was no wonder that everyone in the world wanted to be a leader.

The power of the first command cannot be matched, let alone the financial power and personnel power behind it, these two points guarantee the unimpeded flow of the former.

Then Zhao Xu's figure disappeared from the tower.

Only Wang Ningwei was left in a daze, and she also looked at the place where Zhao Xu's figure disappeared with a hint of admiration.

It's just that if she wants to break through the five rings and use the teleportation technique, she probably has to wait for the entire Yanan to stabilize.

It has to be said that the title of infrastructure madman in the Huaxia area is by no means groundless.

When Zhao Xu wandered around Yanan's area during the rest of the battle, he saw countless people busy trying to fix the road and build buildings.

It's just that the player mage has not been able to go to the fifth ring to cast the spells of "turning stones into mud" and "turning mud into stones", so the whole process is manual. Fortunately, the carts and trolleys have been reproduced in two weeks. .

As for a plot not far away, it has been divided into a scientific research site, and it is trying to verify which of the earth's technologies can be reproduced on the earth.

As for the steam engine, if the steel extracted from the ore is formed, it can be reproduced without even half a day in the world. At least there are dozens of design drawings piled up in the warehouse.

At the moment, Yanan can also be said that almost everyone has invested in the process of large-scale production and large-scale construction, and there is no one left to eat.

Zhao Xu shook his head when he saw this scene.

If the people on earth traveled to an environment similar to the earth, it would take less than half a century to successfully reproduce everything on the earth in the previous life.

Countless technical talents and skilled personnel, coupled with the immeasurable literacy rate, the industrial power bursting out of the entire country is indeed a miracle.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu's level was too low to be sensitive to this. In this life, he stood at the highest point, so he could clearly appreciate Yanan's real growth.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was a crowd of people gathered in a corner besides the busy crowd.

At this time, there was also a loud voice from inside——

"From the extremely cold ice sheet mountains to the southern rainforest where mosquitoes and ants are rampant, there are always a group of brave and capable fighters. Some people call them berserkers and think they represent destruction, evil and cruelty. But, I can tell you that these Men have proved their courage and perseverance to their allies, and they are stoic enough for no one to take lightly."

"And I prefer to call this group—barbarians. It is also one of the eleven most common occupations for Arthur, and it is also one of the strongest melee occupations!"

At this time, a burly man stood on a high platform and said to the students below who were gritting their teeth and doing plank exercises. His body was still covered with wounds from the battle with undead creatures.

Obviously, this barbarian rushed back to train the students below after a fierce battle.

At this time, Yanan didn't build many buildings, but there were eight hundred people who wanted to be professionals.

Therefore, after discussing with Wang Ningwei, Zhao Xu and Wang Ningwei also invited players from the first echelon to serve as professional tutors. First, there is no discrimination, and all comers are welcome, and then they will be screened slowly. The teaching place can only be used in the open air.

Once they get the "student certification" qualification, they can get the "student food" distributed by Yanan, ensuring that they can support themselves and their families without labor in exchange for work points.

The teachers even rewarded "Gold Coins" and even "Magic Items" based on the number of "Level 1 Professionals" successfully taught.

At this time, Arthur's teachers hired as "mentors" can also be regarded as the first-class and privileged class of Yanan, and their prestige is extremely strong.

This barbarian player kept the students below in the same training posture, which was naturally testing their willpower.

"You all did the basic camp test at the beginning, at least you are not in the lawful camp. Those who seem to be lawful and powerful, I sent them to the warrior group next door." The barbarian mentor grew up voice said.

"Is it because we savages don't follow the rules and like to make trouble?"

The workers who were busy building roads and buildings all around rarely had time to rest. They all watched the excitement of the barbarian's vocational training curiously. After hearing this self-deprecating sentence, they couldn't help laughing.

"I can tell everyone that this sentence is right or wrong. Indeed, the power of wildness is the source of our strength, so we may be very creative and expressive, but we may also become a source of destruction without thinking, so I also I hope you can be as wild as my mentor said in the future, but not crazy."

Speaking of which, the savage jumped off the stage, and silently walked past these students who were lying on the ground with heavy loads on their backs, and their parents were both relieved and distressed, looking at the situation on this side.

"Before the first class, I naturally had to brag about the abilities of our barbarians, so that your sweat today is worth something."

"First, our barbarians' professional skills are climbing, crafting, animal domestication, intimidation, jumping, listening, riding, survival, and swimming. It is in these skill scales that we barbarians can get twice the result with half the effort and improve faster. You can take a look at these skills, they are all first-class survival skills in this wild and dead place."

"So becoming a barbarian, relying on being better at these skills, you don't have to worry about not being able to survive, and you will even be able to have the qualifications to go hunting soon."

After the barbarian player said these words, the eyes of the students below lit up a lot.

The barbaric dead land is both a dead land and a treasure land. In the past few days, there have been many stories about people who went out to hunt, accidentally picked up treasures, and the whole family turned over.

It's just that the outside world is too dangerous, there is no certain ability to survive, and going out is just death.

"Of course, the most famous and crucial strength for us barbarians is the rage that can be obtained at level 1. In this state, we are invincible!"

"And people with the ability to berserk all have something in common, which can be seen at a glance."

Suddenly, the barbarian pointed directly at Zhao Xu, "For example, that strong gentleman, I can tell that he is also a barbarian."

"I?"

At this moment, Zhao Xu, who was watching the excitement, was a little confused.

He couldn't help but glance at the resident spells on his body.

This damn mage profession is really acting like someone, making him even more savage than a savage.
