Because the Su Yue people are still human, it wasn't long before refugees came to serve them!
"First-tier refugees: They are hungry and cold. As a lord, you need to provide them with enough food and shelter. Once they have a house, the refugees will be transformed into farmers."
"Oh my god, an angel!"
“This is a great and holy lord. I will call another group of refugees to come over later.”
"They are building up their territory and may need our help."
A large number of shantytowns and dilapidated garbage dumps have sprung up around Su Yue's territory.
Su Yue frowned as he looked at the shacks.
"Europe, how many people were in the first wave of refugees?"
Because the world of Turin is close to reality, the system attributes and lord panel do not include all refugees in the information.
Europa said, "My lord, the first batch of refugees we took in numbered about 1,400."
"...So many!"
Europa explained, "On the one hand, the refugees came because of the angels, and on the other hand, they were influenced by the divine realm."
Su Yue nodded. The allure of a god-level territory is at least 200% greater than that of an ordinary territory. It's far more attractive to refugees and special NPCs than ordinary territories. He said, "Go out and collect resources first, especially gold coins and food. Food is the most crucial thing. If these refugees don't have enough to eat, they can't be converted into farmers. The first step is to build the town hall."
"Yes, Master."
Su Yue gently rubbed her head. The 19-year-old angelic girl looked incredibly beautiful, almost like his younger sister. It was a pity she had no family in this life, which made him feel a little regretful… The chestnut-haired angelic girl had an absolutely stunning face; she would definitely grow into a mature and elegant woman in the future. She already had a graceful and poised air about her, especially her breathtakingly long and beautiful legs, paired with leather boots.
And the way the cloth-wrapped garment was pulled taut like strips of cloth made Su Yue feel a little guilty.
"We need to prepare armor for Europa... In a game like Turin World, armor and protective gear are crucial; plain clothes are basically like being naked." The global broadcast didn't reward many pieces of equipment; it mostly rewarded talents, which made Su Yue feel a little disappointed.
Now his equipment has become his weakness.
“Let’s take it one step at a time. First, let’s solve the problems of homeless people and shacks. We need to build houses, and then the city hall.”
"Then we can start collecting taxes."
"Money doesn't come from nowhere. It's acquired through battles, refined from gold mines, traded in auction houses, and collected from taxes. Where do taxes come from? Of course, from the residents of the territory. Su Yue is a lord. He's not some lone wolf."
Europa felt a large hand stroking her long hair.
His expression was indifferent.
But the moment she turned her back to Su Yue, a blush of ecstasy appeared on her face.
"The great divine sovereign touched me... His hands were so warm, his movements so gentle. I long for something to happen between us." Adam and Eve in Heaven fell to Earth after eating the forbidden fruit. Even among angels, there are fallen ones, known as fallen angels.
Some guardian angels even descended to earth, willing to make peace with mortals.
Angels also have emotions and desires.
Europa really likes Su Yue.
She liked the smell, she liked the objects she touched, and she even wanted to have something happen between her and Su Yue right now. No one noticed her change in mindset.
She also has a tendency to be the sixth child.
She secretly placed the leaf that Su Yue had touched against her chest, then slid it into an indescribable place.
Suddenly, the leaves had a peculiar cheese flavor. The cheese flavor, mixed with Su Yue's flavor, formed something new. At this moment, a perverse and strange feeling in Europa's heart was satisfied, and it even tempted her to go further.
Su Yue rubbed his chin: "...Something feels off."
"Could it be that Europa is also the sixth one? That shouldn't be the case. She is the holy Archangel. Logically speaking, she should be like the flight attendant I met in my previous life, a symbol of holiness, a synonym for holiness. Angels in Heaven are all very professional and ruthless, right?"
Su Yue was unaware that he had completely misunderstood Europa.
She was a different kind of sixth person.
Seeing another group of refugees come and surrender, I feel incredibly overwhelmed.
This time there were forty or fifty people again.
"My lord, my lord, we have fled from the desolate mountains. A large group of refugees were driven out by the dwarves! They all come from Fireforge..."
Su Yue said, "Wait, catch your breath and speak slowly."
Su Yue learned from the gaunt refugee Tajik that a group of dwarves called Firefort had emerged and occupied a territory in the north, extensively mining minerals on the cliffs—dwarves are skilled craftsmen in blacksmithing and forging, and are extremely adept at mining mineral resources.
Su Yue keenly noticed: "The north has been occupied by dwarves? Doesn't that mean there are large mines?!"
"How many of them are there?" Su Yue asked the refugees.
The refugee Tajik said, "There are many, at least a thousand. Your Lordship, you are no match for them."
Su Yue laughed when he heard these words.
I have a level 9 Demon Lord hero and an Archangel Europa under my command. They are both level 9, yet I lose?
He certainly knew he couldn't be arrogant or complacent.
But he truly didn't take the dwarves seriously. Besides, how could he allow others to sleep peacefully on his own turf? Since these dwarves were right next to his territory, a war was inevitable sooner or later as they expanded their territory; it was only a matter of time.
Refugees are still gathering.
Suddenly, Su Yue looked at the system of the Turin world in surprise.
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Claude Yorson from the US for completing a building. The Lord's Hall has been built. You have received: 2 Free Attribute Points and 1 Random Weapon."
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Claude Yorson from the US for completing a building. The Lord's Hall has been built. You have received: 2 Free Attribute Points and 1 Random Weapon."
...
Su Yue looked surprised. One book already?
At that moment, Abraham was giving a speech to thousands of refugees on a makeshift wooden platform.
"If you guys don't do it, plenty of others will! If you want to eat and stay warm, how can you not put in the effort? You have to work overtime. Before midnight today, everyone should try not to rest. Just hold on until 5 a.m., then it'll be dawn, and we can continue working!"
Refugees: "Yeah, how come we didn't think of that?"
“This nobleman is absolutely right. We should work, otherwise we would be letting down Lord Su Yue’s protection.”
Su Yue stared at the scene in astonishment.
A system notification appeared: "Your Lord Hero Abraham has activated the Great Demon Talent Skill - Treachery. The work enthusiasm of your territory's residents has increased, and refugees will soon join the territory's construction work!"
Holy crap!
Su Yue was shocked. He'd almost forgotten that Abraham wasn't a demon, but a great devil. What were devils best at? Bewitching people, weren't they?
—The devils in the abyss spend most of their time corrupting mortals (most commonly by selling devil contracts to mortals).
"This sixth brother has finally come up with something useful!"
"..."
Su Yue opened the forum panel; he was now going to browse the auction house and trading house.
Europa has led the cavemen and gnolls out to fight and plunder resources. They will return soon with items available for trade.
But before he could even browse the auction house...
The messages on the forum made him chuckle for a while.
"How are we going to solve this problem of refugees? My territory is completely crammed with these damned refugees. There's a huge pile of garbage and dilapidated shacks in my territory. They cry and wail when they have to move them, and they don't want to work! Who can stand this?"
"No, I can't take in any more refugees. There are too many, like locusts."
The terrifying darkness said, "You are human lords, aren't you? The skeletons on my side are all obtained through recruitment, foolish humans."
"I'm summoning sprites from the forest. What are these 'vagrants'?"
Elf players and Necropolis players expressed their inability to empathize with the human lord's plight.
Many human players find this extremely annoying.
Looking at the scene, Su Yue murmured, "Indeed, in their past lives, many human lords couldn't solve the problem of refugees, which directly led to the bankruptcy of their territories. Some people would simply kill all the refugees, causing a decrease in the future population. If you kill all the refugees, your bad reputation will spread, and who will come to you? If you don't kill them, the shantytowns and stubborn refugees won't work, and forcing them to work by making an example of them won't work because they don't have the strength... This creates a dilemma."
They had no resources, no money, and no manpower to build houses.
However, without building houses, the refugees cannot be converted into farmers and still need to eat. Many lords are trapped and die at the beginning of the game because of this dilemma.
Su Yue was different.
Abraham, the sixth son, used the devil's seductive skills.
This allows displaced people to work on the land just like farmers!
Su Yue could only sigh, "A ninth-tier subordinate is terrifying indeed."
"What are we going to do if these refugees don't work? They're all skin and bones, and we haven't seen a single special NPC. The drop rate in this lousy game is just too low!"
"Yes, how do we deal with the displaced people who don't work?"
"It stinks! My territory has turned into a stinking ditch... These refugees don't bathe, yet they're yelling for food and shelter. They've been fed nothing and suddenly have mouths to feed—it's unbearable!"
The human players were all confused.
Who knows?
On Su Yue's side, over 1400 refugees, men, women, and children, were mobilized by Abraham, the sixth son. They carried timber and lumber to build structures, while some of the male refugees, their blood boiling, headed to the nearby forest to cut down trees!
"Holy crap, Abraham just mobilized over 300 people to cut down trees like that? Weren't they about to starve to death?"
Abraham said, “Do not be afraid of physical suffering! Whoever does the work well will have meat soup here with him.” He didn’t know where he got the meat soup from, or if he took it from the Silver Palace.
The steaming hot broth and the fresh, sweet aroma of the food instantly made the refugees go wild!
A refugee charged forward menacingly!
"Give me some broth! Give me some broth!"
Hundreds of refugees suddenly rioted.
