[Congratulations, you have been acknowledged by more than half of the villagers and become the lord of the 'Unnamed Town']
[You may now change the name of your territory (First name change is free, subsequent name changes will have to be purchased from the shop)]
After putting the last bundle of spirit wheat into the warehouse as the townsfolk looked on in reverence and disbelief, Angora Faust heard the notification from the Liege Game System as he wished.
But he was not in a hurry to confirm the system notification. Instead, he turned to the townsfolk and said, "My seeds have been improved by divine arts. The effects of the divine arts would disappear after being planted once, so it would be useless even if you secretly take the rice here and use it as seeds. I believe some of you have tried but failed, and that is why you are here, right?"
The townsfolk lowered their heads in shame and fear.
If this was any other liege's fief, any citizen who dared to steal blessed seeds would most likely be caught and hanged to death.
But Angora clearly would not do that.
For one, the town's population was too small. Manpower was of utmost importance if he wanted to revive the town, and every labor force was precious at a time like this.
Secondly, most of the townsfolk were relatives, and a simple punishment might incur the wrath of the entire town. And now, Angora did not even have his own guards, and there was no need for him to risk being stabbed in the back by his subjects over such a trivial matter.
"The number of divine seeds is limited, and I can't provide them to all of you. However, I promise that as long as I am the liege here, not a single townsfolk will freeze or starve to death during this winter!" Angora declared loudly.
Since he could not use force for the time being, he could only try to convince them with virtue.
All at once, the townsfolk cheered in unison.
Angora breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the entire town was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, with the townsfolk chatting excitedly and no one paying attention to him.
He quietly chanted a password in his mind and opened the System Panel to check.

"There doesn't seem to be any special changes?"
Angora grumbled before trying to switch pages, only to find that there was a new page apart from Penguin Farm.
It was a page similar to the shop in Penguin Farm.
However, unlike the Penguin Farm store which only sold seeds and farming tools, this store was filled with all kinds of messy architectural blueprints.
He even saw a blueprint of a 'magic academy', but he immediately gave up when he saw the requirement of '5000 Prosperity Points and 15000 Achievement Points'.
What do you mean by more than 5,000 Prosperity Points? The upper limit of my territory's Prosperity Points is only 100 …
After grumbling in his mind, Angora stopped looking at the tall buildings and started looking at the cheapest ones.
As a matter of fact, Angora could unlock some of the architectural blueprints at the moment.
For example, the most basic wooden house blueprint only required 30 Achievement Points and no Prosperity Points. It cost 30 game coins to build and at least one or up to four people would have to pray for it to be built, and it would take one to four hours to build, with each house increasing the population limit by 3.
Stone houses, which were of a higher level than wooden houses, cost 50 KP and 10 Prosperity, and cost 50 game coins to build. Stone houses had the same requirements as wooden houses, but it would increase the population cap by 5, and players could also pay 20 game coins to upgrade them directly from wooden houses.
There were also logging workshops, quarries, warehouses, and other buildings.
Apart from those basic buildings, there were also some architectural blueprints that left Angora scratching his head.
For example, unlocking the Outdoor Hot Spring blueprint would cost 100 KP, 20 Prosperity and 100 Game Coins to build. Apart from that, two to eight people would have to be sent to build it, and it would take four to thirty-two hours to build.
On the other hand, the effect of this thing was that it could recover fatigue to a certain extent and gain buffs such as' Skin Moisture Retention Up ',' Skin Refinement Up ', and' Skin Smoothness Up '. However, it has a certain chance of attracting monkeys and peeping toms.
In an otherworld where travel was inconvenient and there were beasts and magical creatures everywhere, there was no such thing as a tourist economy at all. Angora just felt that this thing was a little confusing.
"As expected, I have to build houses first …"
Angora muttered to himself.
While there were many empty houses in the town, they were long uninhabitable due to years of disrepair.
Still, the System notification that 'Players are coming' made Angora feel a sense of urgency.
After getting the System, he naturally understood that the so-called Players were believers of the God of Games just like himself.
There was no telling what other people's System was like …
Angora himself had tried preaching, but it was a pity that the results were not great. Most of the townsfolk were used to living without faith, and even with spirit oats as bait, they would not know how to sincerely offer their faith, which was why most of the townsfolk ended up becoming shallow believers like Vela.
And to obtain the God of Games' blessings — in other words, the System and truly join the ranks of Players, one must at least reach the threshold of a true believer!
It wasn't a situation unique to the God of Games. In fact, most churches and temples had a requirement for clerics, and only devout believers could become clerics. In comparison, the God of Games' rules were much more relaxed.
Of course, our liege had forgotten that he was not even a shallow believer when he first got the Overlord Game System.
"I don't feel confident … If Vela could become a true believer and receive the blessings, I could gather more information …" Angora complained quietly.
"Is Mister Faust calling me?"
That was when Vela suddenly appeared behind him, startling him.
"No, no, you heard wrong!" Angora quickly denied.
Vela thought that Angora's panicked expression was a little weird, but she did not delve into it because there was something more important for Angora to deal with.
"Mister Faust, it's sudden, but the hunters in our town have found traces of revenants less than five miles away from the town … it seems that the royal army could not completely wipe out the revenants that left the Valley of the Tragic Dead. It could threaten the safety of the town if we can't handle it! "The girl said seriously." What should we do now? "
Angora's first instinct was to seek help from the nearest city, but he soon realized that it would be meaningless.
So what should he do …
