History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 139

139fury. Leader of the weary (2)

Shoot aaaaa!

There was heavy rain.

Countless pouring water droplets drenched the entire eastern mountain range..

Gathered on the hillsides and valleys.

flowed to low ground.

down the western slope.

It was towards the County of Frontera..

The stream of water that flowed like that met terraced farmland..

Gurgling!

It was originally a stream that flowed down a natural slope for tens of thousands of years..

But this time was different.

Terraced terrain created by human hands blocked the way..

It pooled in the space where rice fields and fields would be built..

A large amount seeped into the space between the retaining wall and the cut surface..

And it flowed out between the gabion retaining walls..

‘good!’

Lloyd visited the site frequently in the pouring rain..

Each time, the underground scanning option of the surveying skill was activated..

Beyond the gabion retaining wall.

The draining of water from the space containing the inner backfill was observed in real time..

The results were very satisfactory.

‘Water draining? It's completely smooth. There is no phenomenon of the soil inside flowing, tilting or sinking. Ha, I can't believe I made something like this.’

I felt proud when I saw the results with my own eyes..

What would a professor at the university I attended in Korea say if he saw this?.

Maybe I'll get all the compliments and get bombarded with A+ grades and be dragged into graduate school..

‘…….’

Let’s not carelessly imagine such terrible things..

Lloyd quickly shook his head to shake off the distracting thoughts..

The rainy season has just arrived..

There is no other opportunity to test the performance of a retaining wall to its extreme like the rainy season..

He inspected and diagnosed all retaining walls throughout the rainy season..

Of course, none of the retaining walls collapsed or showed any abnormalities so far..

It was truly perfect construction..

‘Okay, then to the next step..’

Lloyd immediately tightened the reins on his plan..

The work does not end just by building a retaining wall and creating a clearing area..

Now it was time to distribute it to everyone..

“So, I need you to pay for all of this..”

“This... … entire?”

“yes.”

Teueoong!

Lloyd placed a stack of papers on the desk..

At that moment, the legs of the desk creaked and an anxious groan came out..

Count Frontera flinched and had to step back from his desk..

And raised my gaze.

I thought blankly.

I wonder if the top of this stack of documents is reaching the ceiling..

“What is this all about??”

he asked.

Lloyd grinned..

“This is the contract and on-site attendance confirmation..”

“contract? Departing from the site... … what?”

“To explain in more detail, this is the list of refugee workers who voluntarily participated in the construction of retaining walls on terraced farmlands and their work records..”

“…….”

“When I go to work on site every day. When eating Saecham in the morning. Time to eat lunch and early in the afternoon. In addition, I was asked to mark my attendance record every time I left work. To all the refugee workers on the ground..”

“Uh, why??”

“I guess it’s a bit of meticulous task management. It also prevents proxy attendance..”

“Proxy attendance??”

“You can even pretend to work when you don't. This is something that can easily happen in complex sites with a large number of people and poor management. Especially in situations where there is an opportunity to receive agricultural land in return for work time..”

Lloyd shrugged..

it was true.

Everyone was asked to sign a contract from the beginning..

In the process, it was promised through a contract..

If you work hard, they will give you reclaimed land in return..

So, try participating in as many sites as long as your physical strength allows..

‘But not everyone is as conscientious as their employers think..’

It's like that wherever you go.

There is always someone who uses tricks..

There will always be people who just want to take advantage of the benefits..

Lloyd thought it would be the same here as well..

“So I paid particular attention to managing my attendance record. This is to ensure that proxy attendance is as impossible as possible. Thanks to you, there are so many documents..”

“……Then, I do all of this.?”

“All you have to do is sign.”

“…….”

“The contents were confirmed by me, Lord Asrahan, and Lord Bavaria. The classification was completed in order of cumulative working hours..”

“…….”

“Thanks to this, we couldn't sleep for three days. Well, compared to that, all you have to do with this is sign..”

“…….”

If I try to sign that thing, I'll break my wrist..

However, the Count only sighed and did not reject Lloyd's request..

This was because he knew better than anyone else how hard his son had been leading the field and working throughout the winter..

‘It really was. Recently, it has been difficult to see your face even when eating..’

I was even worried that I was overdoing it..

I wonder if I might collapse from overwork..

I wonder if I might catch a cold or body aches and become sick..

So I want to help in whatever way I can..

Even though I thought about it, I couldn't think of a way..

Just cheering and supporting my son from the bottom of my heart. Looking after the refugee camp to ensure there are no obstacles to my son's plans..

The count spent the winter thinking that was his best..

That feeling was still the same even now..

“okay. After hearing what you said, I see that it is indeed so. You must have been through a lot during this time, but how can I look at your face if I can't help you with just this one signature?.”

“haha. That's right?”

“Of course it is.”

“So, all you have to do is finish signing by this evening..”

“……uh?”

“Then please?”

Kwaang!

After finishing what he had to say, Lloyd closed the office and left..

So the count was left alone with a blank look on his face..

Creak↗

The silence of the office was broken by an indifferent cross-legged voice..

That day, the servants and maids at the count's mansion had to sleep all night long, listening to Count Frontera moaning and clutching his right wrist..

♣

The plan went smoothly.

The hard work of Count Frontera, who sacrificed the health of his wrist joints..

Based on that effort and sacrifice, the distribution of reclaimed land was progressing smoothly..

“Well, the total working hours... … Wow, you're pretty top ranked.?”

“Ah, yes.”

“Well then, let's see. Thanks to the accumulated working hours, there are quite a few positions to choose from. Let’s take a look here first.?”

Chorak!

Lloyd unfolded a large map on the sales contract table..

Recently constructed terraced farmland.

It was a map that contained the whole thing..

Lloyd pointed at several spots on the map..

“Here, and here and here. It's not too high up, so it'll be comfortable for commuting. The drainage condition is very good, and best of all, it is square in shape, so it will be easy to manage when sowing, fertilizing, and harvesting..”

“Uh, then I'll take this field..”

“here? good. Here is the contract. I know the trick to signing because I did it last time.?”

“of course. thank you!”

……It was like that..

Lloyd organized and cataloged the working hours and details of all refugee workers involved in the construction of the reclaimed land..

The reclaimed land was sold based on the data and contribution..

‘It's so natural to do this.’

A good position for those who work hard.

Those who willingly participated were only given a corner or scrap land..

Of course, some were dissatisfied.

But there were only a very small number of them..

Even those who received undesirable land mostly accepted the result..

This was because the attendance record prepared under Lloyd’s management was very thorough and meticulous..

In addition, the image of inaccessibility that Lloyd built toward the refugee workers throughout the construction process also played a role..

‘He is an incredible person who cannot be compared to us. Just because you have a high status? It's not like that. It's just a different level.’

Lloyd soon developed such an image among the refugees..

So, even if you receive agricultural land that is not very good,?

Most people just agreed.

If that's the case, then that's it..

So it is beneficial to obey obediently..

No, in fact, receiving a place to stay and farmland to farm in a situation where you don't have a home is already a tremendous blessing and consideration..

It was an idea that the refugees naturally thought of..

Thanks to this, right after completing the sales contract for terraced reclaimed land over several days,.

Pleasant messages appeared before Lloyd's eyes..

Ding dong!

[The supply of terraced agricultural land in the Frontera territory has been completed..]

[In this process, you left behind the first case on the continent of applying a full-scale reinforced earth retaining wall method to actual construction. This construction example will remain in the history of civil engineering on the Laurasian continent and provide a new path for many future students..]

[You are at the top of the list of the top 10 civil engineers in the history of the continent..]

[Many future civil engineering students will sigh over the increased test scope and resent you..]

[A large amount of RP is specially provided as a bonus according to brilliant achievements..]

[800 Earned RP.]

[RP you currently own : 4,070]

‘good!’

Lloyd clenched his fists as he looked at the message..

Your name will be left behind in the history of the continent, blah blah.

Actually, it didn't feel that important..

To him, the large amount of RP obtained through achievements was much more thrilling and precious..

‘800Ira. As a result, the RP consumed through the premium random draw for Coming's draw was barely saved..’

It didn't make up for the 3 consecutive slams before, but it was a satisfactory enough compensation..

But the reward didn't end there..

Ding dong!

The alarm sounded again..

At the same time, a new message emerged..

[Not only did you help countless refugees, but you also demonstrated the ability to successfully implement large-scale projects to help them become self-reliant and settle down..]

[Tens of thousands of refugees are sending you passionate praise..]

[A new tribute has been created for you.]

[A new tribute, has been created.]

[Leader of the weary]

[Tribute Level: Estate History]

lost my house.

ran out of food.

There wasn't even a bonfire.

I had to walk aimlessly.

Everything will end like this.

I cried with endless sighs.

I crawled to comfort a fussy baby..

I wandered around desperately looking for a place to die..

There will be no paradise anywhere.

There won't even be a place to lie down.

I gave up and despaired..

Then we met.

I finally realized.

I even gave up.

The one who holds out his hand for me.

There was still about one person left.

[Praise Effect: The refugees who settle in the County of Frontera truly respect and look up to you. They will work the land to the best of their ability to return the favor. Over the next 30 years, the probability of a good harvest on the Eastern Mountain Terraces will increase by 300%. Yield increases by 200%.]

[Tribute Region: County of Frontera]

[Tribute maintenance period: 30 years]

[A compliment is effective 24 hours a day within the region and time period in which it is praised. Additionally, depending on your actions in the future, the area and period of praise may be expanded, extended, reduced or shortened..]

[CP provided monthly by Chansa : 3]

[CP you currently have : 108]

‘wow.’

Lloyd's mouth was torn below his ears after reading the message..

‘This is an option!’

The probability of a good harvest increases threefold..

Plus, it basically doubles the yield..

His mind was busy..

‘Regardless of whether there is a good harvest or not, the harvest will double, right? Even for 30 years? Moreover, considering the enormous area of ​​terraced farmland,……’

This is seriously awesome.

Agricultural land with an area almost equivalent to the Marez clearing area.

The production capacity there doubled at once..

Moreover, if you are lucky and have a good harvest,?

‘A whopping six times the yield.’

This was the jackpot.

To use a metaphor, it was no different from the situation where a salaried worker who was earning 3 million won a month had 6 million won added as a special bonus every month for 30 years..

‘Hehehehehe!’

Now I really have one less worry..

If this level of production is achieved, refugees will not have to worry too much in the future..

Thanks to this, there is less work to do in the future..

‘In fact, the supplies coming from the royal capital alone were a bit tight, if not insufficient. From next year, you won’t have to worry about food. Now there is no clearing in the future. There is no need to carry out additional land clearing work anymore.!’

Originally, we tried to increase the scope of reclaimed land considering the situation of terraced farmland..

That way, we can reduce our dependence on supplies coming from the royal capital. Even in times of emergency, the territory will be able to stand on its own..

I was calculating like that.

I was secretly preparing for further land reclamation in the future..

But thanks to the praise reward I got this time,?

There is no need for additional clearing.

less work.

Doesn’t this mean that the bee life is one step closer?.

‘Ahhh! i love it!’

Lloyd threw himself on the bed..

I was so happy that my face was wide open and I was flailing my arms and legs in various directions..

It didn't matter because no one was watching..

I've been waiting for that for a while.

I calmed my breathing and looked up at the ceiling..

The joy I enjoyed was momentary.

As my breathing calmed down, the coolness that had briefly escaped me returned..

Then the first thought that came to mind was one thing:.

‘Let’s do a mid-term inspection..’

Suddenly I had that feeling.

Are you doing your job properly? Will there be any problems if the plan continues like this?.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to check the big picture at least once at this point?.

‘Actually, I've been feeling really cool sometimes these days..’

it was true.

I didn't know why.

Literally, it just felt fierce at times..

Just because of anger?

Or because I'm stressed?

It could be so..

But Lloyd shook his head..

‘no. If you look closely, the current situation is not all that optimistic. If you look at it calmly, the situation is full of hidden dangers..’

On the outside, everything seems to be going well..

Apartment complexes to accommodate refugees were also being built without difficulty. The terraced agricultural fields of the eastern mountain range were very successfully prepared..

In addition, the effect of praise resulted in tremendous productivity..

Everything couldn't have been better.

But if something goes wrong?

So, if an unexpected problem occurs?

‘The settlement of refugees and the operation of reclaimed land may be disrupted..’

Then the development of the territory will be seriously affected..

In the worst case, the territory may completely collapse..

‘Because the population has grown so rapidly.’

Thanks to you, Yeongji has grown in size..

If something goes wrong?

It will be that difficult to deal with..

‘And if it crashes, only I will lose. If you do something wrong, you could end up working hard for the rest of your life trying to fix a ruined territory. So, this strong feeling that I get from time to time these days is not something I should just ignore..’

Usually, this kind of strong feeling rarely goes astray..

What a fierce feeling?

‘It is a kind of life big data created by the countless failed situations and experiences that a person has personally experienced over the course of n years of life, piled up as thick as the Cambrian strata. I think that's somewhat believable..’

That's why.

Lloyd thought for a moment and decided..

‘Let’s write after a long time. ending spoiler.’

Coincidentally, there was quite a lot of CP gathered..

Lloyd opened the skill window..

I chose the ending spoiler skill..

Ding dong.

[Skill Name: Ending Spoiler]

[skill level : ???]

[CP required: 40 (2nd time))]

[By consuming a certain amount of CP, you can get a glimpse of some of the ending scenes that will unfold at the end of the current story. It could be a happy ending or a sad ending..]

1Required CP doubled compared to the previous episode.

But Lloyd didn't hesitate.

Select ‘Run’ at the bottom of the skill window.

[Skill: Would you like to use ending spoiler??]

[CP you currently have : 108]

[YES/NO]

‘Of course it's YES.’

[Skill: Ending spoiler is activated.]

[40 CP is used up.]

[CP you currently have : 68]

It was right after he chose YES.

Tsuzuzuzu……!

Time around me slowly stopped..

The afternoon sunlight gradually waning.

The dust that rose up from the fuss earlier and was floating in the air.

Everyone stopped moving as if they were nailed to time and stuffed..

And the space five steps ahead shook..

A round, bright blue passage has opened..

A milky area was visible inside..

This is something I’ve experienced before too..

Lloyd kept his composure and walked away..

I extended my hand into the milky space inside the portal..

Fluffy... … Paaaat!

Vision colored by flashes of light.

A momentary feeling of dizziness.

At the edge, Lloyd slowly opened his eyes..

The ending scene of the story currently in progress..

The end of the secret gradually came into view..

That moment.

‘what…….’

Lloyd opened his eyes wide without realizing it..
