Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The relationship between greed and ambition is not difficult to understand.

Simply put, the difference between the two is whether to make plans and take action.

Greedy people always hope to satisfy their greed by lying down.

It means getting something for nothing.

Therefore, greed is always full of deception.

The ambitious will rely on their own actions.

It has nothing to do with whether the idea is mature or whether the result can be achieved. There is a difference between active and passive methods.

Everyone has ideas, but greedy people are often short on action.

So the change from greed to ambition is still big.

Of course, no matter how much you say, this is just speculation.

The ring after [Beyond Greed] is here, you can know the answer just by looking at it.

Then an idea appeared in Zong Shen's mind.

Lines of subtitles were refreshed.

[Ring of Ambition (Unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[Effect: Ambition Resonance (Open the designated task panel and accept the corresponding Ambition Resonance task. The panel is refreshed every 30 days. There is no penalty for task failure. However, multiple tasks cannot be accepted at the same time within the same refresh period. You can decide by yourself for details. Check)]

[When you reach 100 ambition points, you can open the corresponding redemption mall]

(The [Ring of Ambition] transformed after overcoming greed, it can give you a chance to express your ambition.

Obtain additional rewards by accepting and completing appropriate ambition tasks

This will help your development

By the way, if you try to use the provoking method on Ring Face, the hidden state of [Ambition Ring] will be unlocked.

By then, before the next refresh cycle, the relevant ambition tasks will change, and the task rewards will also increase with the difficulty, so please act according to your ability)

…

After Zong Shen read the relevant attribute information, he basically had an idea.

After the transformation, it loses its wish-making function.

I still remember that Jiemian, who claimed to be the God of Greed, could trace the veins of greed.

It sounds like a law of cause and effect.

Jie Jie Jie!

Do you feel my strength?

Jiemian Weilian began to enter the self-proclaimed chatterbox mode again.

Zong Shen flicked it hard with his fingers.

Bang!

With nearly 10,000 points of [Strength] attribute, the power of a random flick of the finger cannot be underestimated.

The strange face on the ring suddenly twisted and deformed, and immediately let out a cry of pain.

Ouch!

How dare you be so rude!

I am the god of ambition!

It's the noble God!

It looked furious.

Zong Shen gestured and bent his fingers again, which made the guy tremble.

Without saying anything else, he activated [Ambition Resonance] with a thought.

Immediately, a brand new blue panel appeared in front of my eyes.

This panel looks simple and crisp.

Nothing fancy.

【Ambition Resonance】

…

[The time limit of all tasks will first follow the refresh cycle of the current [Ambition Resonance] panel, followed by the independent time limit requirements of the task]

[The current refresh time remaining: 29 days, 23 hours and 53 minutes]

[Note: After the countdown reaches zero, you need to actively activate [Ambition Resonance] once to enter a new cycle]

…

After reading the 6 tasks provided in the current refresh cycle in [Ambition Resonance].

Zong Shen just gave it a 666.

Where is the task panel? This is simply a welfare panel.

It's a nice bonus.

Anyway, you have to develop anyway, and now you can get an additional task reward after accepting the task.

To him, this reward was like free prostitution.

However, these tasks will all be refreshed after 30 days.

You can only take on one task at a time.

If the arrangements are not done properly, it is probably impossible to win all six missions.

Although development is happening all the time.

But the focus is still different.

The six tasks on the panel have different focuses.

They cover [Population], [Construction], [Attack], [Plunder], and [Upgrade] respectively.

Most of these are aimed at the overall development of the territory.

But there are also tasks specially prepared for lords.

In addition, these tasks have architectural drawings or recruitment rolls as rewards.

Some of them also come with rewards that increase the attributes of all citizens, which makes Zong Shen very excited just looking at them.

The current territory has a population of tens of millions.

Even if each person only gets 1 free attribute point, the overall enhancement obtained is considerable.

And for low-level citizens and units.

One attribute point can bring about quite obvious changes.

You must know that there are many low-level farmers, and the highest of the four major attributes does not exceed 15 points.

In addition, there are many practical small rewards.

Including drawings, recruitment rolls, etc.

not bad.

Zong Shen is very satisfied with the mission of [Ambition Resonance].

However, he did not take up the task immediately.

Because the difficulty of these ambitious tasks is still a bit low for him.

He is going to try to open the so-called hidden state of [Ring of Ambition (Unknown)].

Use this to open higher difficulty tasks, and then you can get higher task rewards.

Anyway, the next month is destined to be a drastic development.

Including the subsequent transaction with Archduke Jonathan, it also involved the acquisition of population.

Simply take advantage of now to increase the difficulty and rewards of a wave of tasks.

Just try to get it all done at once.

Thinking of this, he first dismissed the task panel that appeared in front of him.

Then he looked at the [Ring of Ambition (Unknown)] placed on the table.

Focus on staring at the strange face on the ring.

With a slight smile, he spoke directly.

You guys have said so much in your gibberish.

It's not that I don't have any authority.

I can accept the mission directly through [Ambition Resonance].

He said with a half-smile.

This made Strange Face immediately irritated.

Damn it, how dare you underestimate me!

The green strange face turned red instantly, looking really angry.

Zong Shen remained unmoved upon seeing this and continued to taunt.

Oh? Is there something wrong with what I said?

You're just a blabbermouth.

The poor guy who thinks he is a god is actually just a decoration.

He grinned, not hiding the sarcastic look on his face.

The strange face was so angry that it not only turned from green to red, but also spewed out smoke representing anger.

Now let me show you how powerful I am!

The entire [Ring of Ambition (Unknown)] immediately underwent new changes.

The whole body turned into wine red.

Jie Jie Jie Jie!

Now for angry ambition!

The difficulty of all related ambition tasks has been greatly increased!

The difficulty of them is unimaginable to you!

This is the price you have to pay for angering this god!

The strange face laughed arrogantly, waiting for the opponent's deflated expression with provocative eyes.

But he didn't expect that the hateful human in front of him would smile happily.

Thanks!

Zong Shen achieved his goal and felt relieved.

Facing its arrogant expression, he was not angry, but instead smiled and said thank you.

Looking again at this ring that has been transformed again:

[Ring of Angry Ambition (Unknown)]

[Through the blessing of the Ring Spirit's anger, the effect of [Ambition Resonance] becomes [Angry Ambition Resonance]. Until the next refresh cycle, [Ambition Ring] will maintain this state]

[You can check the details by yourself]

…

That weird face has nothing to do with gods.

It was originally a ring spirit that was deeply bound to this ring.

Just because of the effect of the ring, he has mastered some mysterious rules and authority.

But these authorities are passive and cannot do whatever they want.

By irritating the ring spirit, Zong Shen successfully unlocked the hidden state of the ring.

He immediately thought about it and activated [Angry Ambition Resonance], intending to see how the difficulty of the mission changed.

A brand new list appeared, and Zong Shen looked at it with a smile on his face.

【Ambition Resonance】

[Currently available ambition missions: 6/6]

[Mission Ⅰ: Radical·Great Population Development (Please increase the territory’s standard population by 5 million within 14 days after accepting the mission)

Mission rewards: [Stone and Wood Building Construction Drawing (Orange) × 1], [Solid Tall Building Construction Drawing (Gold) × 1], [Random Basic Population Recruitment Scroll × 50,000], [Random Advanced Population Recruitment Scroll × 10,000] , [Free attribute points +3 for all subjects], [Free attribute points +5 for all heroes], [Ambition points +10]]

…

[Mission II: Radical and Great Construction Era (Please within 7 days after accepting the mission, add 2,000 buildings above level 3 and 8,000 buildings below level 3 to the territory)

Mission rewards: [Random golden architectural drawing × 1], [Random orange architectural drawing × 1], [Covered steel plate casting drawing (orange) × 1], [Basic resource box (orange) × 200], [Basic resource box ( Purple)×1000], [Strength value of all buildings +30], [Ambition points +10]]

…

Zong Shen quickly checked the changes in all six ambition tasks.

The difficulty base of each task has increased by 2 to 5 times.

There is an extra prefix of [radical] in front of the name.

The same goes for the corresponding task rewards.

After thinking for a moment, he first picked up [Radical and Great Construction Era].

The current large-scale construction in the territory has not stopped.

It is even actively building more residential areas to prepare for the coming population explosion.

It is not too difficult to complete this task.

Just build more residential buildings.

Anyway, there are drawings of residential buildings in the territory from the first to the fourth level.

The residential area itself is built in combination.

The building scale required for the task is almost enough to accommodate a residential area with a population of 500,000 to 800,000 people.

easy!

Zong Shen's reaction left the Ring Spirit a little confused.

Why aren't you angry?

This is an angry and aggressive mission difficulty!

It does not understand Zong Shen's thoughts, and what it performs is actually the duty of the Ring Spirit.

But Zong Shen shook his head nonchalantly.

I just like radical tasks that are challenging and challenging.

Please give me more next time.

Okay, I don't have anything to do with you for now. I'll chat with you next time.

He conveniently put the [Ring of Angry Ambition (Unknown)] into the storage compartment.

Satisfied, he picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.

The two girls, Aisia and Tasia, had already finished their breakfast and summoned their respective teams of spellcasters to go to the [Elemental Mage Training Ground] for meditation and spellcasting training.

Zong Shen stretched and stood up to go to the city hall.

The maid waiting next to him had already wiped his armor and helmet clean.

Not wearing armor, Zong Shen chose to put it away and walked out of the lord's fortress wearing a loose round-neck robe.

I took a look at the sky outside and found that the weather today was a bit gloomy.

The sun is no longer as bright as the previous days.

Speaking of which, the area where my territory is located is indeed a geomantic treasure.

The climate is pleasant and the terrain is relatively flat.

There is nothing too sinister about the surroundings.

The mountain ridge in the north is more like a winding rampart.

After taking a breath of fresh air, Zong Shen felt more and more satisfied with his territory.

To be honest, his territory is much cleaner and tidier than the aboriginal city!
