Doom Lord

Chapter 122- Army

Yu Kai gave a smirk. He felt that with his current properties, he could even challenge first peak-order enchanted beast with a certain chance of success. Especially after blessing himself with Spectral Will, his attack power would reach 43 points which was even slightly higher than ordinary first peak-order enchanted beasts.

“Lord, did you see my properties? Isn’t it broken?” Yu Kai proudly boasted.

Cheng Yang calmly said, “If I want to kill you, I only need two ice pucks.”

Yu Kai’s expression immediately collapsed, he said, “Besides you, this bug-like existence. I am definitely the first expert in the entire Luo Feng Village.”

Cheng Yang replied, “Right now, you are. But later, it’s hard to say.”

Yu Kai immediately thought of Liu Xiyue, and her incomparable gifted talent. He never had the thought of competing against her. If it wasn’t for Liu Xiyue being a member of Luo Feng Village, and the relationship between them was very harmonious, perhaps it would be hard for Yu Kai to sleep peacefully at night.

However, Yu Kai still held an optimistic attitude. he immediately laughed, “Even if I’m not second, third place should belongs to me.”

Cheng Yang shook his head and said, “That depends on whether or not Liu Hao agree with you.”

Yu Kai was surprised, but soon he thought of something. He immediately asked, “Do you mean Haozi will soon get his own special profession?

Cheng Yang said, “The Black Tortoise Island instance is related to warriors, so there’s a high chance that a special profession will come out from it. In addition, warriors, just by their profession alone are a huge restraint on archers. If Liu Hao can really transfer to a special profession related to warrior, it’s hard to say whether you can beat him.”

Yu Kai bitterly said, “This dead rat!”

Even though Yu Kai seemed angry, he was actually happy for Liu Hao. It was currently the apocalypse. Although they didn’t personally experience the cruelty of the end under Cheng Yang’s care, but hearing the bitter experiences other people had gone through, one could feel a thing or two. Since they were close friends before the end, the stronger the other side became, the happier he was.

Cheng Yang then left Yu Kai to himself. As to whether he continued to stay in Luo Feng Village or return to Dongshan Village, it wasn’t of Cheng Yang’s concern. With Yu Kai’s current strength, Cheng Yang basically didn’t need to be worried about his safety.

Soon afterwards, Cheng Yang arrived before the territory altar to check the territory power value. It has actually reached 340,000 points.

Cheng Yang was startled by this figure. Wasn’t this a loophole in the rules? However, he soon recovered. This wasn’t a loophole at all. It seems that he had been in such a hurry this morning that he had forgotten to set up the salaries for the soldiers in the army.

The vast majority of this 340,000 points of power value was from a day’s gain from all the profession in the territory. Now these power value needs to be distributed to every member in the army.

Speaking of the army, it was necessary to set up the structure of the army under the rules.

In fact, the army system could be set up to fit whatever he preferred. However, the minimum number of people per team has to be 10 people. In other words, a team has to consists of 10 people. An official team of the army was also at 10 people. This was called a level 1 team. Going by the army structure of Luo Feng Village, this was called a squad.

Soldiers at first-class private could only form squad-level teams. Only when a higher rank emerged would newer capabilities opened up.

Now all the soldiers in Luo Feng Village were just at first-class private. Therefore, even though Luo Feng Village has five battalions, it was actually composed of about 300 small teams. In addition, this kind of union wasn’t acknowledged by the rules.

As for the soldiers’ salaries, Cheng Yang and others had discussed and finalized this last night. The amount of power value a soldier could receive per day was (profession rank/2 + army rank/5)*20 + 20. For first early-order professions, if one has a rank of first-class private, he or she could receive 34 points of power value each day.

This value might be less than half the amount they earned fighting at this stage, but don’t’ forget, this was only their daily earnings. As soldiers of the territory, they wouldn’t need to worry about purchasing equipment, potions, learning their own skills or even their strength advancement.* [TLN: Should be the costs for the second profession advancement.]

And more importantly, as soldiers of the territory, they would receive the same amount of power value even if they didn’t fight on that day. However, it was impossible for Cheng Yang to let this happened, because if these soldiers didn’t go out for a day, it would be enough to drag the entire territory down. Who made Luo Feng Village not formed its own commercial system yet?

Compared to the earnings of the soldiers, the captains acquires more. This earning was adjusted according to the specific person. A squad captain would get an additional 100% in power value. A platoon captain would get an additional 200% in power value. A brigade captain would receive an additional 400%. As for battalion commanders, they would receive an additional 800% in power value. As for all the vice-captains, the growth rate would reduced by 20% as the position rises. Taking a first-class private platoon captain as an example, the additional earning was 160%.

Following this conversion, the highest salary amongst the soldiers of Luo Feng Village at the moment was without doubt Liu Hao and Yu Kai. These two guys, even though their army rank was at first-class private, their profession rank has reach high-order apprentice. Therefore, their basic daily salary was 54 points of power value. After including their position as battalion commander, which gives an additional eight times worth in earnings, their daily salary would reach 486 points of power value.

However, the daily consumption of these two were also very high. Presently, they had opened up four times cultivation speed. If they only had to cultivate for four hours, they would consume 480 points of power value. But now they were no longer cultivating for only four hours, but 6 hours. So at this stage, their power values were simply not enough.

If they were like this, there was no need to mention about the ordinary soldiers opening up four times cultivation speed. Their salary would be like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. However, this situation wasn’t permanent. Who let their army rank be so low? Once the army rank rises, this income would be much higher.

It could be seen from this system that Luo Feng Village placed a lot of value on people in positions.

Cheng Yang deliberately created this result because the people who were currently assigned to positions were all talented, and relatively capable people. Naturally, these people would becomes the focus of training. Of course, in order to be fair, Luo Feng Village also created a corresponding system for position advancement. The coverage of this system was very broad. Its need to put into account the person’s individual strength, talent, army rank, and territory contribution value. Just because someone was suited for a position doesn’t mean they would get it. This was also to avoids the occurrence of people obtaining the position without putting in the effort for it.

Once Cheng Yang distributed soldiers’ salaries, 120,000 points instantly vanished from the territory power value.

In this case where the earnings from the soldiers were way above their salary, the next thing Cheng Yang has to do was to allocate expense funds to each of the squad. There was no exact figure to this, Cheng Yang could just distribute the funds according to the village’s current situation.

After careful consideration, Cheng Yang decided to give 300 points of power value to each squad to use for purchasing potions and learning skills. As for how to allocate it, the squad captains would be the ones to make that decision.

In fact, there were two accounts for the army. The 300 points of power value Cheng Yang distributed was placed in one of them, which belongs to the public resource account.

Another account wasn’t used to store the assigned power value, but to deduct a portion of the power value earned by the soldiers on that day and deposit it directly into this account. The power value in this account couldn’t be used to purchase supplies, nor could it be taken out. It was used to upgrade the team ranks and army skills.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the team level as well as additional attributes was related to the battles the army has experienced. In addition, it was impossible to raise the rank of the teams by supplementing them with power value from the outside.

Cheng Yang stared at the 80,000 points of territory power value remaining in the altar, and couldn’t help but smiled wryly. This power value came quickly, but also disappeared fast. For the remaining 80,000 points of power value, over 10,000 was what the territory accumulated before today. The army brought a surplus of over 60,000 points to the territory.

For these 60,000 points of power value, Cheng Yang couldn’t use it on himself, nor does he intends to.

Cheng Yang approximated today’s material harvest, then chose to build a special building: Bank.

In fact, Cheng Yang has always wanted to construct this building, but because the territory doesn’t have much excess power value, Cheng Yang hasn’t been able to build it yet. Now that the territory power value has increased, and the army system has started running, it was time to place the matter about the bank on the agenda.

Immediately afterward, a magnificent building appeared on the outskirt of the Alchemy Room. On its front entrance was hung a huge title, Luo Feng Bank, which illustrated the function of the newly constructed building.

As the person in charge of the bank, Wang Lu, who was in the middle of cultivation immediately received the notification the moment the bank was built. She immediately stopped her cultivation and ran to the bank.

At this moment, Cheng Yang also arrived at the bank.

“Lord, did you set up the bank? Can it start running now?” Wang Lu sounded a bit agitated. She knew that her talent was stronger than other people. Now that the bank has been established, she finally has a place where she could use her abilities to its full potential.

Cheng Yang nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ll give you some power value to handle. Therefore, tomorrow you can start the lending and depositing business.

Wang Lu still had some doubts, she asked, “Lord, if the fund amount is too large, then there would be many people that will borrow power value. Won’t I have my hands full by myself?”

Cheng Yang smiled, he said: “Don’t worry so much. The bank is a functional building of the territory, so naturally it has its own auxiliary system. You only need to organize the data into the bank daily, and set up some of the necessary content, as well as some special promotions that needs to be carry out.”

“It’s that easy?” Wang Lu asked in amazement.

Cheng Yang said, “Did you think this matter will be very difficult?”
