Chapter 121 New Village Chief



The following days went by in a blur for Lin Fan.

He was kept busy every day, learning about the various things that a village chief had to do.

It was just a good thing that he had packed up all the documents in the previous village chief’s house before burning that house to the ground. With these, it made it much easier for him to take over his new position.

Of course, he didn’t plan on taking over this position for long.

To him, all he had to do was be a figurehead village chief. As for the actual work, he could always get someone else to do it.

Yue Lan was probably the best choice for this, but she was still currently in Sunset City. So for now, Lin Fan had to learn how to take care of this himself and do all of this himself while waiting for a reply from Yue Lan after he sent a message to her with the Gail Sparrow.

To his surprise though, it wasn’t as hard as he thought to instate him as the new village chief.

Among the things that he had taken from the previous village chief’s house, there was a jade token. This jade token was actually a messaging token that allowed him to contact the central government.

Lala was familiar with how to use this since she had used this kind of jade token with the Mercenary Guild before.

When the token was connected, a surprised voice asked, “What is it?”

Lin Fan was surprised by how frank this voice was, but he still said, “Is this the central government office?”

The voice gruffly said, “Where else would it be? What do you want? Did something happened to your taxes this year?”

Lin Fan knitted his brows, but he still said, “The previous village chief has died and we want to register a new village chief.”

The voice just casually said, “Oh, then tell me the name of the new village chief.”

Lin Fan replied, “Lin Fan.”

The voice then said, “Got it. Anything else?”

Lin Fan knitted his brows even deeper when he heard this, but he still replied, “No, that is all.”

The voice didn’t even bother saying anything as they just hung up right away.

Lin Fan was left standing there knitting his brows after this happened.

It was clear that the central government didn’t care about this remote village. In fact, the only thing that they seemed to care about was whether the taxes that they would receive from the village would be affected or not.

But that was what Lin Fan wanted to see since it would be troublesome if he had to deal with bureaucratic procedures as well to take over the village chief position. If they were willing to acknowledge him that easily, then that would work better for him.

Since it would take several days for Yue Lan to send someone after receiving the letter, that meant that Lin Fan had to take care of the village matters during these days.

He found that the situation of the village was quite bad. They couldn’t even be considered sustainable without some kind of trade route established.

The village could produce enough food to feed itself, but that was only the most basic of crops. They still needed to sell their food and trade for daily necessities like salt, oil, and etc. This village didn’t have a source of these daily necessities and there wasn’t even a town that was close enough for them to go to buy them.

If merchants didn’t come to this town, it would definitely run out of supplies.

The good thing was that before Lin Fan had come, there had been a merchant caravan that had come through, so the village was currently stocked up on these daily necessities.

But Lin Fan had to take care of all of this in the future or find some way to solve this.

Then there were many other problems that kept Lin Fan busy over the past few days.

Lin Fan was finally able to get some free time after finishing all his work in the morning. So in the afternoon, Lin Fan was finally able to have some time to walk around the village.

However, the village itself was completely empty.

This village was a very remote village, so most of the people who lived here were farmers. It was currently the middle of summer, so naturally these people had to work in the fields during the day.

Not to mention that they were currently lacking manpower because of the bandits that had been executed during this time.

When the previous village chief had been in charge, he had sent some of the bandits to help out with the farming, so they would always have enough manpower to do all the farming with. After all, the farming was an important source of income for the bandit group, so it wasn’t hurting them to help.

But now that all the bandits were gone, they had to rely on themselves to do all the farming. This was a bit too much since they had expanded the fields to meet the demands of the bandits.

Now that the crops were half grown, it would be too much of a waste to just let some of it die.

So even the children and wives had been called out to help with the farming.

Lin Fan walked through this silent village and came to the fountain in the center. As he stood there, he looked around to make sure that there was no one else there before reaching his hand into the Pet Storage Space to pull out a blue orb.

He leaned over the fountain and then tossed the blue orb in before saying, “Create your dungeon here.”

Rokuko was surprised to be suddenly dropped into a fountain, but she quickly came back to her senses. However, she didn’t immediately follow Lin Fan’s orders as she started checking the area around her first.

After a few moments, she said, “This place isn’t suited for making a dungeon. The flow of spiritual energy here really is weak…If I make my dungeon here, it’ll be really weak.”

It was clear that she wasn’t satisfied with the location that Lin Fan had chosen, but Lin Fan didn’t give her any chance to argue as he said, “Just do it.”

So even if Rokuko was unwilling, she still had to create the dungeon here.

The main reason that Lin Fan had even chosen to become the village chief of this place was because he wanted to create the dungeon here.

He wanted to use the dungeon to create an attraction town, that way he could not only earn money, but also DP.

There were three ways to generate DP with a dungeon.

One was to get DP naturally from the spiritual energy absorbed from the surroundings in the form of daily DP. That was also the reason why Rokuko had been complaining about the lack of spiritual energy here.

The second was to defeat enemies and absorb their energy after they died to create DP.

The third and the most important method for Lin Fan’s plan was passive generation of DP from any living creatures that were inside of the dungeon. This was what Lin Fan was aiming for when he thought of building a dungeon attraction town.

The dungeon could absorb the natural energy that any living creature released and could turn it into DPs. Even normal humans would be able to generate 1 DP per day.

As for stronger humans or stronger beasts…

As long as he was able to create a dungeon that could attract the attention of strong mercenaries, then he would be able to passively earn DP from them being in the town which was also part of the dungeon.

When it came to locations for this dungeon town, this rural village was the best.

It was far enough that people wouldn’t pay much attention to it, but it was also a good place to expand if he ever needed to since there was plenty of space here.

As for attracting the DP farms…mercenaries, that was easy. Lin Fan had seen plenty of cheap special items for sale in the Dungeon Master System store. As long as they put these things in the dungeon, it would surely attract people.

The only thing that Lin Fan was really worried about was how to get the people of this cultivation world to accept the concept of a dungeon. After all, there were only things like ruins in this kind of cultivation world.

But he would cross that bridge when he needed to.

It didn’t take long for Rokuko to create the dungeon since there was nothing for her to create. Lin Fan’s plan was for her to claim this entire village as her dungeon and that was easy for her since Lin Fan had already laid out all the foundations.

After she was done, she asked Lin Fan, “What do we do now?”

Lin Fan said, “We’re going to make a hole.”

Rokuko was confused as to what Lin Fan meant by this, but following his instructions, she dug out a large open space under the fountain. Then she also added a set of stairs that led to this space.

Once all that was done, Lin Fan had her seal up the stairs before letting her develop the dungeon herself.

She had experience with this, so Lin Fan would leave it to her to design the general outline of the dungeon first before giving any advice.

Once she was done, he would introduce the villagers to the dungeon and start his plan.
