Chapter 106 I beg to differ
As evening approached, the sky was clear and still.
A few white clouds are hanging comfortably in the sky, looking very naughty.
This was also the moment when the sun was the most docile in the day. Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and sat at the highest point of the Bald Ridge Fortress. He felt the golden light jumping between his fingers, which seemed to be able to turn into kittens at any time, harmless, interesting and energetic.
This was a rare moment of relaxation for him in the past few days, and he didn't have to think about anything. He could just watch the sunset here.
From this point of view, he would not be averse to the emergence of the national team.
No one would refuse the security behind them.
Okay, it might sound a bit hypocritical to say this, but at least at this moment, he no longer has to worry about the attacks from the demon soldiers.
What was supposed to be the most difficult task could actually be accomplished so comfortably.
However, Zhang Yang also understood that the appearance of the national team would also put him under an invisible shackle.
This was inevitable because he had anticipated it.
The task data was described from the first time he triggered the village building task, but he didn't dare to think too deeply about it at that time.
At that time, more than 17% of the Earth's civilization code had been deciphered, which speaks volumes.
Then he met many fellow countrymen from around the world, which also destined the emergence of a national team.
There is no way the Earth government will not get involved.
This concerns the code of the earth's civilization. No one can stay out of it when the nest is overturned. No one can say that this has nothing to do with me, although there will definitely be people who say that.
Zhang Yang doesn't want to be so selfish, but his ability is really limited, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with cooperating with the national team to a certain extent.
"But, there are some things that I cannot agree with."
Zhang Yang sighed and looked towards Liu Kai’s military camp at the foot of the mountain.
Yes, he had had a very pleasant conversation with Liu Kai before, as if he was a rookie who had really found the way home, and he was almost crying with excitement.
But in fact, he was quite dissatisfied with some of Liu Kai's statements, or some of the practices of the national team.
Of course this does not mean that he is unwilling to cooperate. He is very willing to cooperate within the scope of the ideas he agrees with.
For example, Liu Kai emphasized that the first stage, which is the stage of fantasy village building, should lay a solid foundation for the second stage, and everything should be prepared for the dynasty hegemony, so many aspects should be vigorously researched and developed in the first stage.
Such as training craftsmen, building siege and defense equipment, and storing armor, weapons, and food, because these resources can be stored in the game's village building order in the final stage.
Not to mention whether to cooperate with the national team in the second stage, Zhang Yang disagreed with the first point alone.
He acknowledged that the first stage was the foundation of the second stage, but he disagreed with doing something useless in the first stage just to win the second stage.
What siege and defense equipment are needed? He will not waste any resources on village construction, just for the sake of becoming the king in the second stage in the more distant future.
What he cares more about is the healthy development of the village, the healthy development of the villagers' bloodline, and the proportion of the village's elite population.
If possible, he hopes his village can survive for at least a thousand years.
To this end, he can kill the ghost priest without hesitation, and in the future he will also restrict and downplay the mountain temple system.
Do you think that 300 years of survival is enough?
No, he never thought so.
Especially now, when he has invested more and more in the village and his feelings for it are deeper, he sincerely hopes that the village can exist for a thousand years, several thousand years, or even forever.
What second stage? That’s all nonsense at this moment!
That's the biggest difference.
The national team must work hard in the first stage in order to win in the second stage.
Zhang Yang was just working hard to make the village exist longer.
This was completely contrary to the plan from the very beginning.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang thought he had made a decision.
Just as he was about to go down the mountain to reply to Liu Kai, the old man appeared like a ghost.
"My dear son-in-law, he really has a good taste."
"Uncle is not bad either."
Zhang Yang smiled, then bowed and gave the highest point to the old man.
Sure enough, the old man was very satisfied with his attitude.
"Gu Maolin, the military physician in Black Rock Fortress, is a good doctor. My dear son-in-law, you have been overworked these days. You should take this opportunity to go see him."
The old man pointed to Liu Kai's military camp at the foot of the mountain. He didn't know who Liu Kai was. Anyway, the old man could go to Black Rock Fortress in person this afternoon and bring back 500 dan of food, three big fat pigs, a large amount of supplies and 50 new soldiers in one go.
That’s right, Duan Kuan and those unlucky guys were brought back by the old man.
"Thank you for your concern, uncle. I feel so good now that I can even eat a pig."
"Hey, my dear son-in-law, you have been in a coma since yesterday afternoon and have been in a coma until this afternoon. No matter how I called you, you didn't wake up. Is this normal?" The old man was very suspicious.
"Of course it's normal. I'm just too tired." Zhang Yang responded casually. Of course he couldn't tell the real reason, as he had just confirmed it not long ago.
That's because using the soul force field consumes a full 80 units of mana in a short period of time.
There is no doubt that magic power is a good thing. Apart from the fact that it cannot be retained in the body, it can also cure all diseases and prolong life.
Therefore, when Zhang Yang indirectly consumed 80 units of mana using the soul force field, his soul origin also benefited greatly.
That's why he slept so long.
But this is not drowsiness, because even in sleep, he can foresee the danger or safety around him.
Last night, Liu Kai arrived with three thousand elite soldiers. Naturally, Zhang Yang could not feel the danger, so of course he did not wake up.
This situation sounds amazing, but for an A-level extraordinary soul, it is really nothing worth mentioning.
"My dear son-in-law, this General Liu is no ordinary person. His father is Liu Jiao, Marquis of Luzhou, who is responsible for guarding the 300-mile Great Wall in Luzhou. There is little pressure to fight against the demon soldiers there, and Luzhou has a bumper harvest this year, with at least 5 million kilograms of surplus grain. So it is no coincidence that he is here. He arrived at the Black Rock Fortress three days ago."
The old man spoke again and calmly provided Zhang Yang with the most accurate information. It must be said that the old man still has the most experience.
This information finally explained why Liu Kai appeared so suddenly. It was because he witnessed the whole process of the fireball.
Zhang Yang's mind was changing rapidly, but he did not mention this matter. Instead, he said sincerely, "Father-in-law, please find a date to help me get married next month. But I have to say it in advance. I am a rebellious person. Once I get on the pirate ship, there is no reason for me to get off."
The old man blinked, suddenly burst into laughter, patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder, and walked away with great vigor.
"It's a political marriage. It feels good."
Zhang Yang muttered to himself, the old man was jumping up and down and making all kinds of hints, taking advantage of his seniority, but in fact he was not being naughty, but he knew very well that this was a golden opportunity.
Why was Liu Kai treated with such courtesy by the Black Rock Fortress, and even the Death Squad did not dare to force him too much? There was only one reason, and that was that Liu Kai had food.
It's worth it just for this one piece of extremely valuable information.
So Zhang Yang agreed immediately, even though the old man’s goddaughter didn’t exist at all, but he agreed with one word and made it a promise.
At the same time, it was also decided that the Qiao family would follow Zhang Yang on a path of no return.
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Yang asked a member of the Qiao family to bring up Duan Kuan. The guy was very depressed now.
How could he not be depressed? Duan Kuan still had a high opinion of himself. In the village, he didn't submit to anyone except Zhang Yang and Wu Yuan.
As a result, when I came to this extraordinary trial, I was tied up, stripped and stuffed into an iron cage on the first day. It was so embarrassing.
So when he came in front of Zhang Yang, he knelt down with a plop, without even raising his head, and waited to be scolded.
"Stop being like a plucked rooster and get up!"
Zhang Yang smiled and kicked Duan Kuan. It was not just Duan Kuan who fell into the pit, but many village heads as well.
"The world is big, Duan Kuan, but we are small, very insignificant, so a short-term loss is nothing. I have also suffered losses along the way. The important thing is to learn from the lesson, but not lose the spirit in your heart because of it."
As Zhang Yang spoke, he jumped onto the highest rock and shouted at the dazzling and brilliant setting sun in the west.
The sound continued to echo in the mountains, changing in various forms, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Duan Kuan just stood there watching blankly, not understanding what was going on.
After a long while, Zhang Yang stopped howling and continued, "Do you know this echo? It's because it's blocked by these mountains, so it bounces back and forth, blocks, bounces, blocks, and after a few rounds, the sound becomes the howling of ghosts and wolves. Don't you think this is interesting?"
"I think life is just like this echo. There are all kinds of temptations, dangers, and fogs along the way, which can easily make you forget your original intentions and the way you were when you first set out on the journey. You will gradually become a stranger to yourself."
"What I am saying now is not only to tell you, but also to warn myself. Don't get carried away. I need to understand where my roots are."
Duan Kuan was still confused, and Zhang Yang did not explain. He took him down the mountain and headed straight to Liu Kai's camp.
Liu Kai is grilling skewers, the aroma is so fragrant, he really is a guy who knows how to enjoy life.
Zhang Yang sat down in front of him with a big horse and a golden sword, and said directly: "Find a way to get me one million kilograms of food, and I will give you a complete game village building order. This one is not bound."
Liu Kai was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhang Yang seriously for a few times, then frowned and said: "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy."
"Then you should know how valuable this complete game village building order is. Using one million kilograms of grain to exchange it is simply a joke."
"I'm not kidding, because my village is in a period of transition, and I have to change!"
Zhang Yang said it very straightforwardly.
"It's not necessary. If you need emergency help, I can make the decision and give you 100,000 kilograms. You just need to pay with the gold and silver currency of this world. We are friendly forces, so there is no need to do this. The village building order in the game will be very useful for your future development." Liu Kai said frankly.
"If my village is not well developed and cannot survive for 300 years, what will I do in the future?"
Zhang Yang said it firmly.
"Brother, if you do this, people will think I'm taking advantage of someone else's misfortune." Liu Kai smacked his lips, looking very troubled.
Zhang Yang smiled and understood immediately. Without saying a word, he took out the incomplete code drawing of the magic-horned lizard civilization and added the incomplete fantasy village construction order.
"Give me two million catties of grain."
"No, two million catties is too much."
"One million and a half jin."
"Only one million jin. This is the maximum limit I can mobilize at the moment."
"make a deal!"
Zhang Yang did not bargain any further, he just insisted on what he thought was right.
Liu Kai was also very happy. "Don't worry, brother. I will deliver one million kilograms of food before noon tomorrow. But you have to prepare the reputation of the Wei Dynasty. Without sufficient reputation, you can't bring it to this world."
