Chapter 270 – Arrangements And Assigning
Xu Dafu was standing in front of Sky Halberd City and controlled his voice to a volume loud enough for everyone to hear him:
“All of you will be split into five groups, each group will follow one of the five and enter the city.”
The most exterior area of Sky Halberd City was split into five regions, Yang Tian did not plan to allow these people to stay in the center and also innermost part of Sky Halberd City, he wants to observe and identify the talents hidden within the group. Only capable people will obtain the qualifications to enter the centermost region, even if the group only comprises of ordinary people, many of them should possess different technical skills in the Civilised Age that could be useful.
Just like the engineers and architects that assisted in constructing the Nine Cities, these ordinary people contributed greatly and held important positions within Sky Halberd Domain.
The only problem was that the eight cities located on the outskirts of Sky Halberd Domain were the project of connecting them. The architects of each city were still ironing out some issues.
“Everyone, start moving.”
Separating over a million humans into five groups was also a tedious process, the five groups were formed only after spending close to five hours.
There were five gates around Sky Halberd City, each team was assigned to one gate before they enter.
The ones leading them were High Rank 3 Dark Slimes, the aura emitted by the Dark Slimes also control their respective group from making any rash actions.
“Okay, just follow them and enter, each room can accommodate ten people.”
The five Dark Slimes started moving, other than the Dark Slimes leading each group, there were also several Dark Slimes acting as support to guide each group.
Ji Tian Luo released a sigh of relief as she watched the humans enter Sky Halberd City.
“If you need food, you can come to us for aid.”
“Since I dare to accept them, we naturally will have a method to deal with the food issue, there is to get help from you.”
Yang Tian had never felt any goodwill towards Ji Tian Luo, whenever Yang Tian saw the latter, he would feel phantom pains coming from his lower body, making him have the urge to take a knife and hack at her.
Wang Yu, who was beside, felt confused as she did not know why Yang Tian treats Ji Tian Luo with such hostility.
“You…”
Ji Tian Luo’s eyes were turning slightly red. She rarely had any good feelings towards a man and Yang Tian was one of the lucky few, yet Yang Tian’s cold attitude made her feel as though her kindness was simply dirt.
“Humph!”
Ji Tian Luo snorted before standing on her sword and flying away.
Flying Sword Travelling was a skill only a Rank 4 Qigong Martialist can perform, Ji Tian Luo was obviously still Peak Rank 3, yet her talents allowed her to acquire this skill that contained the essence of Inner Energy. This was also why Ji Tian Luo would naturally become a Rank 4 Martialist without experiencing any bottlenecks in the future.e
Yang Tian looked at the vexed Ji Tian Luo and felt a trace of comfort emerging in his heart.
In his previous life, Ji Tian Luo would only do two things when she encounters Yang Tian, start fighting or lash out at him. This was the first time Yang Tian saw Ji Tian Luo suffering a loss and feeling vex.
Wang Yu and the rest have also worked hard for a day; after settling the new residents, they had also returned to rest.
During noon the next day, Wang Yu gathered all the humans, the one shouting was still Xu Dafu.
“If you want to survive in this Post-Apocalyptic Era, food is absolutely necessary, but we will not give you food unconditionally, you must learn to make your own food.”
Xu Dafu’s words stirred the humans gathered below.
“We wish to make our own food as well, but we do not know how to do it.”
“As long as it is not sending us to our deaths, we are willing to try anything.”
“Within C City, we also offered labor to exchange for food.”
These people from C City have been using labor to exchange for a meager amount of food and were receptive to this sort of exchange.
Xu Dafu continued:
“There are farming tools outside the city. Use it to prepare the land and plant the seeds that will be assigned to you.”
“A point to note is that there are only one hundred hectares of farming land, each hectare is to be guarded by ten thousand people, your food will be heavily reliant on your respective hectare of land.”
Xu Dafu’s words caused slight confusion, but they soon understood him. It was basically farming labor, but some of them were unable to perform farming activities due to various reasons and were naturally phased out from the activity.
Of the one million, only two hundred thousand could farm, that was why the situation became two thousand humans per hectare of land.
As for the remaining eight hundred thousand, they were put aside. Wang Yu has gathered a total of two thousand management talents from the nine cities beforehand, these people were now waiting for the orders from her.
Yang Tian got these people to confirm the skills of the eight hundred thousand people and confirmed that three hundred thousand were in the service industry, this meant that they did not possess any skills and could only offer manual labor. From Yang Tian’s point of view, these three hundred thousand were basically useless.
Ten thousand possessed mechanical skills. They were a combined of fresh graduates or old craftsmen that possess decades of experience. These people were sent into the center region of Sky Halberd City.
Since they know mechanics, their general knowledge about firearms should not be weaker than the average person; that was why they were sent to Lei Xing to learn about firearms from him.
As for the remaining four hundred and ninety people, some specialize in animal husbandry, some in sales, some… in summary, all sorts of professions were mixed within the group. Yang Tian let Wang Yu decide on what tasks to assign to them.
Only the farmers and mechanic professions were given food when night came, the rest could only starve.
During the second day, the farmers discovered that the seeds they planted have started to germinate and were growing at an astonishing speed. When they learned that all the Splitter Cauliflowers that matured could be harvested and kept by them, they were instantly instilled with energy and worked even harder. However, Yang Tian also added a restriction, only the Splitter Cauliflowers would be theirs. As for the other plants, forty percent would be split equally amongst the farmers, while the remaining sixty percent would belong to Sky Halberd City.
However, they were also happy with such an arrangement, because the harder they work, the more gains they could get. Yang Tian’s arrangement was much better than what they can get in C City.
However, there were seven hundred and ninety people who were displaying sullen faces. They have not obtained a single morsel of food till now and would starve to death at this rate.
Fortunately, Xu Dafu selected three hundred thousand individuals with good body builts, amongst them were people with knowledge in close combat arts such as boxing or mixed martial arts.
Xu Dafu gave all these people who possessed above-average fighting capabilities Rank 1 energy crystals; due to the uniqueness of Sky Halberd King Manor, Xu Dafu was hoping that they would eventually awaken an ability.
