Fortunately, Yang Rui had started early and built the lumber mill not long after the village was built. More manpower had been put into the lumber mill, so the timber stock was not too tight and the houses were built in a timely manner. Otherwise, Yang Rui would have been heartbroken.
On the fifth and sixth days after the village was built, the mountain village experienced two 'explosive spawns' of refugees. More than 20 refugees were spawned each day, and in two days, a total of 47 people were spawned! The total amount of timber used to house these new villagers was not a small amount.
Yang Rui was a little confused by the number of new refugees in the mountain village. The attribute of increasing the spawn rate by 10% was not as simple as the number of refugees. It was also very likely that it was not referring to the frequency of 'explosive spawns'! However, being able to spawn more was of course a good thing!
With the addition of these new villagers, the number of villagers in the mountain village was close to a hundred, and the labor force was more than sufficient. Previously, Yang Rui had assigned each group to work in an orderly manner after receiving this new batch of manpower.
Among them, the lumber mill that Chen Li was in charge of had reached a scale of 50 people and produced 100 units of timber every day. Chen Ping was in charge of the reclamation and planting team, which was maintained at a scale of 30 people. After harvesting the first batch of sweet potatoes on the fifth day, the planting area was continuously expanded and the food production was basically stabilized.
It was worth mentioning that the planting of sweet potatoes did not disappoint Yang Rui. Although the soil in the mountain village was at a 'barren' level, the adaptability of sweet potatoes was indeed very strong. The yield of sweet potatoes per mu of land basically reached 15 units, which was 1.5 times the average yield of ordinary land, and even exceeded it! Yang Rui could not help but sigh. This crop of sweet potatoes was really a treasure!
Apart from the 80 people led by Chen Ping and Chen Li, the remaining people under Yang Rui's leadership had completed the construction of close to 20 thatched cottages. Even if there was an 'explosive spawn' situation again, there was no need to worry about housing for the next few days!
Moreover, on the afternoon of the sixth day, Yang Rui, after careful consideration, temporarily ruled out the idea of building a basic market and a basic dock. Using almost all of his wood reserves, he spent 150 units of wood to build the militia camp first!
"Militia Camp: Basic building, basic place for soldiers to train. Available for class change. Combatants above Level 10 will become Tier-1 Militia. Class change cost: 50 coppers per person per time. Class change limit: 100 people per day. Can be upgraded to a beginner barracks. Upgrade requirements: 150 stones, 300 wood."
Basic buildings didn't require building blueprints. For example, militia camps, lumber mills, quarries, and so on belonged to this category of buildings. As for basic buildings and above, they required the relevant building blueprints or higher level professionals to construct them. For example, the basic barracks needed to be upgraded with blueprints, or they needed to be equipped with intermediate generals.
The description of the militia camp was very simple. It was a place specifically for First Grade militiamen. From a certain point of view, changing a militia was a sign of increasing a soldier's combat strength. If one did not change their class, even if they reached a very high level, their combat strength would still be far inferior to soldiers of the same level who had changed their class!
As soon as the militia camp was completed, Yang Rui impatiently chose the 10 or so villagers with the highest combat strength and led them to find trouble with wild monsters! Yang Rui wanted to train them to Level 10 as soon as possible and turn them into Tier-1 militiamen.
The newly spawned refugees were all Level 0 (the two brothers, Chen Li and Chen Ping, were the assistants gifted by the system, so their initial level was Level 10). Therefore, although these ten or so villagers had relatively high Combat Strength, they were only around 8 or 9!
Moreover, every villager had their own grade of aptitude. The system gave Chen Li and Chen Ping an A grade aptitude, which was considered pretty good. Most of the normal villagers were C, D, and E grade. The higher the aptitude, the higher the aptitude, and the greater the potential!
Similarly, every soldier's aptitude largely determined the height they could reach in the future. This was because from Level 2 onwards, soldiers needed the relevant proof of advancement or their own comprehension. The probability of comprehension and advancement was closely related to the soldier's aptitude!
However, Yang Rui did not consider the villagers' aptitude. In his plan, this batch of soldiers had a special purpose. If their aptitude was too high, it would be a waste. It was better to keep them for other purposes!
The mountain village was located in the inner valley, which determined that there were more wild monsters around it. However, these monsters were generally Level 10 and above. These Level 0 villagers could not deal with them at all. A single counterattack could even take their lives!
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Yang Rui decided to take matters into his own hands. He found a small number of passive counterattacking monsters and protected the ten or so Level 0 villagers behind him. First, he would bring them to level up a few times.
By doing this, although most of the EXP was obtained by Yang Rui and the villagers received very little EXP, the EXP required to level up at a low level was originally very little. Therefore, their leveling speed was not very slow.
After spending about an hour, the ten or so villagers that Yang Rui led had risen to Level 3. Their HP was also not that low. Yang Rui began to leave some of the monsters that were on their last breath for them to kill so that they could share more of the EXP.
Even so, there were a couple of times when the dying monsters still dealt a lot of damage and almost killed one or two villagers! Fortunately, Yang Rui had equipped them with the stockpiled 'Miner's Clothes' (obtained from the Novice Village's mine!). It increased their attributes by 5 points and luckily saved their lives.
As their cooperation became more and more coordinated, the villagers' attacks became more and more orderly. Such dangerous situations also became less and less frequent. When the villagers reached Level 6 or 7, they could already assist Yang Rui in attacking from the side!
Another two hours passed, and the villagers had all reached Level 10. They had met the requirements to become First Grade militiamen. Compared to the time it took Yang Rui to reach Level 10 when he first entered the game, the villagers' leveling speed was already very fast!
Without saying anything else, Yang Rui immediately brought the villagers back to the village's Militia Camp. He then ordered them to line up and enter the building one by one to undergo the Profession Change.
"Congratulations! Your villager has met the requirements to become a Level 1 Soldier. Profession Change successful … spent 50 coppers … You have obtained 1 Level 1 Militia! "
"Congratulations! Your villager has met the requirements to become a Level 1 Soldier. Profession Change successful … spent 50 coppers … You have obtained 1 Level 1 Militia! "
…
…
Every time a Level 1 Militia changed their profession, the system would notify Yang Rui once. In total, the system notified him 13 times. More than half of the original 1008 coppers of the village had been deducted as the Profession Change fee, leaving him with only 350 coppers left!
After the system notification ended, the 13 Level 1 Militia stood in a neat formation three meters in front of Yang Rui. It could be seen that the aura of these 13 soldiers had changed greatly.
