Chapter 20: Attributes Upgraded
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As Zong Shen pondered, he unknowingly returned outside the small courtyard.
He reached out and touched the big head of the old traveling horse.
The smooth fur felt good to the touch.
“Smart old man.”
The old traveling horse snorted and turned its head slightly, staring at Zong Shen with its large eyes.
From this gaze, Zong Shen saw friendliness, intelligence, and harmony.
As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. These words were completely true.
In Zong Shen’s opinion, this traveling horse was much smarter and more sincere than the three silly farmers.
Zong Shen dismounted from his horse and tied the traveling horse to the gate of the yard, letting it eat the grass by itself.
Luna and the others hadn’t returned yet.
Of the three buildings, the construction progress of [Level 1 Grass shed] was already halfway through.
If they had sufficient resources and a sufficient population, they would be able to start construction soon.
Tomorrow’s goal was still to collect resources. Zong Shen planned to divide the farmers into groups.
Each group was responsible for different resources, increasing their efficiency.
As the number of harvesting teams increased, the harvest range expanded.
Between Colby and Luna, one of them should stay behind to guard the harvested farmers while helping to transport the resources.
The trees and resources here were too scattered.
If he could find a forest or a mine.
Zong Shen could directly build a [Grade 1 lumberyard] or [Grade 1 minefield] on the side. When the farmers finished harvesting, they could directly put wood and ores inside and turn them into various resources.
There was no need to transport them back to the small courtyard. It could speed up their efficiency greatly.
Zong Shen sat down on the storage box of his territory. He had already treated this place as his territory as a Lord.
“Next up, put on your new equipment. Additionally, after getting rid of those roving bandits earlier, you have leveled up by two levels, you should check your skills and attributes too.”
Zong Shen muttered to himself.
Then, he activated the [Personal] function.
He started adding points.
After leveling up two levels, he would have 2 attribute points, 2 skill points, and 10 Weapon Proficiency points.
The Superior Grade equipment that Zong Shen had previously obtained, the [Emerald Greaves], required 8 Agility points to equip. Now, Zong Shen was still lacking a little.
Hence, he decisively added 1 point to Agility.
He hesitated between his strength and wisdom for the remaining 1 point.
Strength increased his personal capability.
Wisdom increases team strength.
Furthermore, the four attributes also determined the upper limit of the skill level.
Passive skills could not exceed one-third of the four attributes.
Zong Shen’s Intelligence was only 7 now, and all his Intelligence-type skills could only be added to Level 2.
Unless he could nurture an intelligent hero who was responsible for the overall expedition and internal affairs.
Charm was also very important. It determined his upper limit for command control.
This really made Zong Shen a little conflicted.
Strength was more inclined to personal attributes.
Charm was more inclined to team attributes.
Just as Zong Shen was feeling conflicted.
The golden strategy appeared again.
(There’s no need to be conflicted. Development should be prioritized in the early stages. I recommend adding points to Charm. I’ll emphasize again that you don’t have to worry about adding points in the early stages. When you have a hero who can take charge of one side, you can add points according to your preferences. In addition, the Lord can also strengthen himself through learning or specialization.)
Looking at this strategy, Zong Shen finally had an idea.
He added another attribute point to Wisdom, and the skill points that could be distributed increased.
He had three skill points that could be allocated.
Zong Shen had wanted to add to engineering, but engineering had already reached its limit.
As a result, he added three skill points to [Healing], [Item Management], and [Guide] respectively.
His next goal was to reach Wisdom Level 9 as soon as possible so that he could increase the upper limit of his passive skill to Level 3.
He did not regret choosing the Strength Style.
Now that he had changed his armor, his combat power was also impressive.
If he had chosen the Wisdom-style at the start of the game, he might not even be able to kill that underage Grassland wolf.
Being cornered by wolves, there was no way he could explore as freely as he did now.
Then, he added all his Weapon Proficiency points to the single-handed weapon.
After adding the points, Zong Shen put on the [Emerald Greaves], and his attributes increased again.
He opened [Lord’s Information].
Zong Shen’s attributes were instantly refreshed.

Zong Shen waved his hand and dispelled the system screen in front of him.
He was very satisfied with his current attributes.
In terms of pure attack power, it was comparable to the Wolf Cavalry soldier.
However, he didn’t have as many skills as Colby and Luna.
“Not bad.”
“At the very least, I can be considered to have gained the ability to protect myself.”
Zong Shen stretched lazily.
He was very satisfied with his current attributes.
After all, today was only the first day of arriving here.
The future was full of hope!
Let’s work harder!
Zong Shen clenched his fists and gave himself a pep talk.
It was five in the afternoon.
The sun was setting and the sun was no longer dazzling. The light had begun to soften.
Luna finally returned to the territory with the eight farmers.
Colby hadn’t returned.
This seemed to be slightly later than the agreed time.
However, Zong Shen did not see any prompt regarding Colby’s death in the system prompt. It should be fine.
He rose to greet Luna.
“Luna, thank you.”
Then, he said to the eight farmers.
“You guys are very lucky. There isn’t much work for you to do today.”
“Now, go outside the yard. There are two [Level 1 Grass sheds] waiting for you to build. There are also six iron axes and six pickaxes.”
“The territory currently lacks wood. Collect as much wood as possible.”
“You can rest when it gets dark.”
This group of farmers had been imprisoned by the bandits for several days and their bodies were in poor condition.
But Zong Shen is not a philanthropist. The role of the people was to be involved in labor.
With every minute of progress, there would be an additional guarantee of their safety!
His words caused some complaints among the farmers, but it did not reduce their loyalty.
Under the farmer Fattie’s lead, the others obediently followed the instructions and collected the tools outside the small courtyard.
