Once a villager became a Tier-1 militia, they would no longer be able to engage in production and labor, and their daily food consumption would also be reduced to 2 units. Most importantly, the 50 copper per person fee for the job change was truly worrying!
Because of this, Yang Rui did not intend to train a large number of soldiers to avoid dragging down the development of the infrastructure. Walking the path of elite soldiers was Yang Rui's first choice in the short term.
After becoming a Tier-1 militia, the 13 people who were originally led by Yang Rui to gain experience had their combat power substantially increased. Their attack power was even higher than the Level 11 Yang Rui, and they had swapped roles with Yang Rui. Now, it was Yang Rui who followed them to gain experience!
Although a Tier-1 militia was not a high grade, the grade bonuses were still quite obvious. It was normal for their attack power to be higher than Yang Rui who had not changed his job. Of course, players could also choose to become a Tier-1 militia, and it would not affect their promotion to a high-grade soldier in the future, nor would it affect their job change to a general!
The only troublesome thing was that after a player changed their job to a soldier, they would no longer be able to lead other soldiers! Moreover, the village chief's identity itself had the bonus of a hidden Junior Commander, allowing him to lead 500 people into battle or labor!
Therefore, Yang Rui would definitely not choose to change his job to a soldier! However, if he wanted to change his job to a general, he would have to wait until his Martial Strength was above 60! Even if he kept adding Martial Strength, he would have to be close to Level 30! And 60 Martial Strength was only one of the requirements for changing his job to a general, and it was also the simplest one!
Yang Rui led the 13 Tier-1 "strong fighters" and started to clear out monsters within the 20 square kilometer territory of the mountain village. The wild NPC monsters within the new territory would no longer respawn once they were eliminated. This was the only way to ensure that the normal work of the villagers within the territory would not be affected.
This characteristic was completely different from the NPC monster communities and raider camps that accompanied the village's construction! Every time the communities and camps that accompanied the new territory were destroyed, they would automatically increase by one grade. They would only disappear completely after being destroyed three times. They were long-term leveling points.
Two days ago, when they were building the sawmill, the villagers had discovered that there were quite a number of Level 15 Alpine Wolves in the small forest they had chosen. At that time, they had encountered one at the edge of the forest. If it were not for the presence of the Level 10 Chen Li, who had protected the villagers as they left, those Level 0 villagers would have definitely been injured!
After that, Yang Rui led the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen Li to painstakingly clear out a small safe area in the forest, and the sawmill was successfully built. The remaining Level 15 Alpine Wolves were a huge threat to the normal operations of the sawmill. Therefore, Yang Rui chose to clear out these Alpine Wolves first.
The attack power of the Level 15 alpine wolves was relatively sharp, comparable to that of a First Grade militia. However, their defense was mediocre. Under the siege of the militia, the alpine wolves fell in twos and threes, and the entire forest was quickly cleared out.
... was Level 18 Alpine Alpine of of Alpine Alpine..... a.................... Furthermore, he had eight underlings with him! Although they weren't accompanied by a group of monsters, there were usually one or two Elite Bosses in such a large group of monsters.
Yang Rui wasn't surprised. Instead, he was happy. Elite Bosses would usually drop some good stuff. Although they weren't humanoid NPCs and wouldn't drop money or equipment, there would always be some high-quality materials! Yang Rui had been busy leveling up since he entered the game. He hadn't fought a Boss yet! Therefore, Yang Rui excitedly deployed the troops under his command.
A Level 18 Elite Boss and eight Level 15 Alpine Wolves was already very strong at the current stage. Even a Level 20 player who hadn't changed his profession might not be a match for them! However, this wasn't a problem for Yang Rui. He also had a group of Alpine Wolves. He spread out in a line and started with the Alpine Wolves!
The Level 18 Elite Boss didn't have any fatal moves. It only had one or two AoE skills. Under the close combat of Yang Rui and two or three Alpine Wolves, the Boss' attacks did a lot of damage, but it wasn't too serious! On the other side, Yang Rui's ten Militia quickly finished off eight Alpine Wolves. The rest was slowly whittling down the Alpine Wolves. Of course, they couldn't avoid some damage.
The Elite Alpine Wolf King was successfully killed. It dropped two good materials. The Level 8 Wolf Skin could be used to make defensive equipment, and the Level 9 Wolf Teeth could be used to make weapons. These materials would be used by the Blacksmith's and Tailor's Shop to increase their skill proficiency in the future.
Dealing with the Alpine Wolves in the forest was just the beginning. There were still several Alpine Wolves of this scale in the mountain village. Yang Rui led the Militia and cleared them out. Of course, fighting the Alpine Wolves and killing the Alpine Wolves to drop some high grade materials was also a way to refresh their spirits.
In less than three days, Yang Rui led the thirteen Militia and cleared out all the Alpine Wolves in the mountain village's 20 square kilometer area. The villagers could go all out in the next step of production and they wouldn't encounter any more Alpine Wolves.
In three days, the levels of the thirteen Militia had risen to Level 16. Even Yang Rui was still at Level 16! It was very obvious that after Level 10, the Experience required to level up increased by a lot! Other than leveling up, of course, they had also obtained some materials. However, there was no income from money or equipment!
During this period, the mountain village had recruited a total of 35 new villagers. After the two 'sudden spawns' of refugees, the number of refugees spawning in the mountain village had stabilized. For three consecutive days, the number of refugees spawning in the mountain village had hovered around 11 to 12.
The new villagers were all arranged by Yang Rui to develop wastelands and plant sweet potatoes. The total number of people involved in food production had reached 65 people. The sweet potato planting area had also exceeded 150 mu. After harvesting two batches of sweet potatoes, the food storage had a surplus of more than 300 units!
Now that the lowest point of the food shortage had passed, with the expansion of the sweet potato planting area, the food storage would inevitably rise. Yang Rui was very satisfied with this. He couldn't help but sigh again. Choosing the sweet potato as the reward was the right choice. The sweet potato was a treasure!
However, the production and storage of the other resources in the mountain village made Yang Rui a little worried. The wood was still okay. As Yang Rui's main focus, there were already more than 200 units in storage and it would continue to grow steadily. However, the collection of stone materials had yet to begin! However, this wasn't difficult. The mountain village was surrounded by high mountains and there were plenty of stone materials. The next step was to build a stone factory and put in more people to collect them!
The most difficult thing was still money! After changing the Profession of the thirteen Militia, the mountain village only had 350 copper coins left! If they didn't seize the time to accumulate more, it might delay the mountain village's leveling up in the future!
Currently, the mountain village's resources were: 309 units of food, 100 units of stone, 211 units of wood, and 358 copper coins! The leveling requirements were: 2000 units of food, 1000 units of stone, 1000 units of wood, and 20000 copper coins!
