[Ding, you have successfully used the Talent Recruitment Scroll and obtained Excellence Level Blacksmith Lorne Red Peak.]

[Ding, you have successfully used the Talent Recruitment Scroll and obtained Excellence Level Civil Servant Soro Cyril.]

Civil Servant Soro, dressed in a neatly pressed tailcoat and with slicked-back hair, meticulously greeted Lin Rui, "Greetings, Lord, wishing my esteemed master a good day."

Blacksmith Lorne, with a scruffy beard and bulging muscles, said heartily, "Greetings, Lord, my hammer and I are ready to serve you."

Lin Rui nodded with a smile and said, "Welcome to the Golden Pansy Domain. In the near future, when the Golden Pansy banner soars in the sky, you will be proud of today’s decision."

"Lorne, you go ahead and set up the blacksmith shop with your team."

To have his own blacksmith shop, Lorne happily said, "Yes, my Lord."

The blacksmith’s skills could be gradually examined after the blacksmith shop was set up, but Lin Rui was now concerned with Civil Servant Soro.

[Soro Cyril]

[Occupation: Civil Servant]

[Age: 48]

[Talent: Excellence]

[Level: 8]

[Loyalty: 60]

[Physique: 13]

[Intelligence: 16]

[Charm: 18]

[Will: 12]

[Soul: 3]

[Commander: 10]

[Luck: 1]

[Life Value: 130]

[Spiritual Energy: 0]

Trait: [Good Administrator: A ship of the territory must have a skilled helmsman to navigate away from stormy waters. All resource output +10%, construction speed +10%.]

Skill: [Administrative Planning: Once appointed as a civil servant, you can plan constructions according to the territory’s situation, all construction costs -10%.]

[Stabilize the People’s Hearts: When loyalty of the populace is less than 60 points, there’s a 30% chance of loyalty increasing by 1 each day]

The arrival of this internal affairs talent was a timely relief for Lin Rui. With him, Lin Rui could leave the territory’s management to him while he explored further, without worrying about delaying the territory’s development.

Lin Rui asked him, "Soro, as a talent in internal affairs, what do you think we should focus on developing next?"

Soro bowed respectfully and then said, "Lord, the territory is still just a dilapidated village with a population of less than a hundred people. Therefore, the support we can offer the Lord is very limited. I believe the urgent task is to quickly increase the population of the territory, thereby raising the territory level. Once the territory level is raised, resource output in all aspects will increase, allowing for more stable income."

Lin Rui nodded, realizing this issue himself.

The territory’s mere dozens of people were utterly inadequate to support such a massive army; their output was just a drop in the bucket. Farming couldn’t provide substantial financial support; instead, the army was sustaining the territory through warfare.

However, this should be the norm for all Explorers in the early stages. How can a dilapidated village support a large number of professional soldiers?

"With the Lord’s formidable strength, we are more than capable of handling current battles. So, I think military constructions within the territory can be temporarily paused, and we should prioritize the development of internal affairs buildings, first constructing the ’Noble Honor Manor’ and the ’Devout Monastery.’"

[Noble Honor Manor: The Holy Lords of the Empire are entitled to construct a manor in their territory. After construction, it will transform into the Golden Pansy Manor; all populace loyalty +5, residences +30, Golden Pansy Flower Garden +10 acres, farmland +300 acres, Golden Pansy production within the territory +100%, farmland production +20%, with a very low chance of enhancing plant grades.]

The attributes are incredibly powerful, and the costs are daunting. It requires thirty farmers and costs 10,000 Realm Coins, 10,000 wood, 10,000 stone mines, and 10,000 iron mines, taking 56 hours to complete construction.

[Devout Monastery: Devout faith in the divine spirit will surely receive the blessing of Divine Grace. The effect is determined by the divine spirit one believes in.]

That leaves no room for choice; the Golden Pansy Domain must worship the Goddess of Fortune.

If we don’t believe in her, upon meeting her in the future, she might chase and beat us up.

Also, to be fair, even though Lin Rui has always tried to exploit her, she has always been very generous to him, with treasure chests occasionally flashing as a bonus.

If we don’t worship her, my conscience would feel a little guilty.

The construction costs aren’t high; five farmers, 1,000 wood, 1,000 stone mines, and 1,000 iron mines are enough. However, this time, special currency is needed, 100 Spirit Crystals.

After the epic victory and opening treasure chests, Lin Rui had a total of 450 Spirit Crystal Coins. With a grand gesture, he ordered the farmers to first construct the Devout Monastery.

Then, after the other buildings were completed, Soro would open a Resource Pack, gather resources, and construct the Golden Pansy Manor.

Next came the time to reward subordinates; the Experience Books were all awarded to Lundestadte, a Rare Level Knight who needed a rapid level-up to prepare for the championship challenge.

To enhance his strength, Lin Rui gave him all the seeds of emerald green, increasing his Life Value by 150 points.

Then Lin Rui took out the two most important pieces of equipment.

Rare Armor (Red) Prison Fire Punishment Plate Armor and Rare Armor (Red) Prison Fire Punishment Shin Guards.

[Prison Fire Punishment Plate Armor]

[Level: Tier Two]

[Position: Armor]

[Durability: 160/160]

[Equipment Requirements: Physique 5, Will 5, Soul 20]

[Physique +4]

[Will +4]

[Soul +2]

[Life Value +500]

[Physique Increases Life Value +50%]

[Physical Defense +80]

[Spiritual Resistance +50]

[Rare Special Effect (Red) Prison Fire Punishment: All damage will convert into Hellfire attached to the armor, dealing 50 points of flame damage per second to nearby enemies. During the flame burning period, attacks carry 25% burn damage, and overall physical defense increases by 20%.]

The attributes of the shin guards are the same as the plate armor, except that during the flame burning period, explosive force is increased by 20%; movement speed and charge damage are significantly enhanced.
