Tang Shaoyang had gotten the whole situation about the base from Origin. He asked her about the development, what she had done to the base in the last two months.
The farm project had started, but it was not easy as it sounded. They were still plowing and fertilizing the land, it took some time before they could plan the crops. Taking advice from the experienced farmer, Cao Jingyi decided to plant sweet potatoes and corn.
If they wanted to build the rice field, it would take a longer process. They needed a lot of water and built an irrigation system. A larger land was also needed for that.
"What about the newly recruited guards? Did you allow them to get their talents and class too?" This was a concern that needed to be put into consideration for the trial later.
If these people received their talent and class, he needed to think twice. He could not kick them out after receiving such a benefit. Training them might be the best option. However, if they did not receive any of them, he could kick them out without any concerns. These people would be a threat to the base in the future, after all.
Cao Jingyi went silent. She did not know since she was not the one who was responsible for the recruitment. However, that was not an excuse since she was the temporary leader. She should have known such critical information.
Cao Jingyi then noticed the disappointment in Tang Shaoyang's expression while shaking his head. She felt uncomfortable, something was not right. She somehow was disappointed in herself. She lowered her head.
"Origin! You have the data, right?" Tang Shaoyang did not want to be reliant on smart AI because he thought a human was more flexible than a robot. What mattered to Origin was the result, it would do anything to get the best result. It did not care about the way to get that best result even if it had to sacrifice many people.
[Yes, My Lord. You should be at ease, I don't let anyone enter the basement since your departure. So none of these people had a class or a talent.]This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
"No wonder these people are very weak. They are bullying ordinary people with their weapons..." he paused midway as a frown formed on his forehead, "Then where their weapons came from? Did they use their own Game Coin (GC) to buy the gears?"
He looked toward Cao Jingyi. Weapons and armors were not cheap as the clothes. They are multiple times more expensive than any other items sold in the General Store. Those people could not afford the weapons and armor since it was the same gears used by Tarriors, not the cheap ones.
Cao Jingyi raised her head, they exchanged glances for a moment. Tang Shaoyang could see the guilt in her eyes. He did not need the answer as he already knew it by just looking at her expression.
"Hah..." a disappointed sigh escaped from his mouth, "You already knew that Jin Fan and his followers are up to no good, but you still fund them to strengthen their people. It's kinda funny that they used my money to raise their people to kill me."
Zhang Mengyao nudged his waist from the side while shaking her head. She was telling him not to be harsh with Cao Jingyi. He could also see tears starting to gather in her eyes. Cao Jingyi was on the verge of tearing up.
"I am stating the fact. You can't make an excuse, this is a fatal mistake. It is fortunate that we are stronger than them, what if we are on the weaker side? I will lose my head and you, women will be their toys," Tang Shaoyang was shaking his head as his back slumped to the chair.
"What about the four new buildings outside?" There was a similar building as the main base, but the four buildings were built shorter than the main three buildings that already existed from the start.
[We bought four fifteen-floors buildings and placed them there to accommodate the survivors that come to our base. However, Jin Fan used those buildings for his benefit, it's still empty.]
Origin was the one who answered the question. Cao Jingyi was sitting across him with her head lowered. She did not dare to look at him.
They continued to talk for another half an hour before Tang Shaoyang dismissed Cap Jingyi, "Alright, you should continue the farm project. I want to hear a positive result from that project. You can go now."
Tang Shaoyang's eyes gleamed in delight upon seeing the percentage. The upgrade also brought another huge benefit. The chance of getting better talent was increased.
On top of all of that, he found a new tier talent, Epic. SSS-Tier was not the highest talent, meaning his talent was not the best one, there was a much better talent.
Looking at this, his hand was itchy to roll a new talent, hoping to get Epic Talent. But he managed to hold back, the chance of getting Epic Talent was nil. It would take great luck to obtain the talent. Moreover, he did not want his current talent to get overruled with the new talent. He was satisfied with the Divine Body.
'Nah, I will roll if I can have the second Talent just like the second class,' he shook his head and glanced toward Zhang Mengyao, "Do you want to try to roll a new talent?"
Zhang Mengyao shook her head, "The chance to get a better talent is so low. I don't want to risk it, and my current talent is so strong too. It's not worth it to try it."
