Toad Village, Qing Nu Mountain:

A young man was sitting on a chair, pondering the future, when suddenly someone's cry interrupted his thoughts.

Someone: Young Master, your father has been killed!

A month before:

Suddenly, while I was sleeping, I felt that the bed beneath me had become quite hard. When I opened my eyes, I felt a headache. I remembered that I had gotten drunk, and when I stood up and began to look around, I thought that while drunk, I had entered someone else's house (a rather poor house). Suddenly, the headache intensified, and memories began to fill my Mind. I immediately realized where I was and who I was. My name is Cheng Dalei, I am the son of a famous mountain bandit, the owner of the Toad Fortress. And the world I found myself in is the world of "It All Starts from the Mountain".

I was scared not only because it is quite easy to die in this world, but also because I am a person of a lower status than slaves, a mountain bandit. Unlike the main character of the original, I have no knowledge or skills. And I doubt my leadership skills. And what's even scarier is that I didn't know which world I was in, the manga or anime world, because the anime changed all the events and characters a lot. In addition, it didn't advance very far in the plot, so if it is an anime, then the situation becomes even worse for me because my knowledge of the future disappears.

In order to understand what kind of work this is, I started looking for the great warlord Xu Shenji. Why him? He is the closest and looks different in both the anime and manga, and this will help me. After ten minutes of searching, I found him, and when I saw him, I couldn't hold back my tears. I leaned over him and hugged him, and started screaming:

WARLORD!

Shenji: Young Master, what happened? Are you completely crazy?

Yes, that's right, it's the same Shenji from the manga "I'm Saved". After five minutes of hugging and screaming from the warlord, I realized that I couldn't see the system. But when I started thinking about it, a bright light hit my eyes, and I saw a beautiful elf in front of me. She looked at me and asked:

System: Are you here yet? Great, welcome to the heart of the mountain bandit.

And a blue screen appeared in front of me, displaying all the information about the Toad Fortress. It turns out that there are about 1,000 people in the fortress - not bad! But after the "father" dies, only three will remain. By the way, since he's still alive, I should try to keep the population at least at 100 and not let the rest loot this place.

Now let's go back to the system. Using trial and error, I found out all the necessary information and found out that the system is not exactly like in the manga. Now, in addition to fear points, there are also regular points. When I asked the system about it, it answered that regular points are awarded for various actions or additionally for completing tasks. For example, if you run 10 kilometers now, you will get 10 points. If you learn something, they will also give you points, but they give you the most for killing - from 10 points to a million, depending on the person killed. You will earn fear points through the same fame: the more people fear you, the more points you get.

Having heard what I wanted, I decided to see what the glasses shop had to offer. And after 10 minutes I saw that there was the cheapest thing - 1 kg of grain for 5 points, and the most expensive - store upgrades for 10 thousand. When I asked about it, she said that the better the store, the more goods she would offer.

In addition, after searching a little more, I sighed with relief: here you can also acquire skills in handling weapons or tools and even knowledge. For now, this is more or less primitive knowledge, such as papermaking, sugar, etc.

This made me incredibly happy, because now my chances of survival have increased.

After that, a message appeared in front of me:

Daily task: Do 100 push-ups, 100 abdominal exercises, 100 squats and a 10-kilometer run.

Reward: 50 points.

I decided to do this task without hesitation, because these are free points! But after 5 minutes I was already tired. I didn't want to continue, but I kept reminding myself that I was happy to survive.

After that, I noticed that people started staring at me and whispering. I decided that it would be better to do the rest away from the annoying gazes. Half an hour later, I felt sick, and I still had a 10-kilometer run ahead of me. Deciding that I should finish as soon as possible, I got up and started running. In the distance, I saw a military commander with a frightened face. Deciding to ask him what happened, I ran closer and was about to ask the question, when he said:

Warlord: Young Master, are you really crazy?

Me: Huh?

Warlord: What are you doing? You've never done this before.

At this time, I remembered that for the most part, I, Cheng, did nothing and was basically a parasite, but I decided to just keep running.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeing that the young master was simply ignoring me and continuing to run, I only thought of one thing:

Warlord: Could it be that he was possessed by a demon?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After running, I immediately returned home and began to drink water and eat, because all this had worked up an appetite.

After eating, I decided to go to bed because I was very tired, although it was still far from night. But not only was the bed uncomfortable, but my muscles were also sore.

Me: Damn, what was I thinking? Now I won't be able to sleep!

After 5 minutes, a sleeping beauty could be seen on the bed

After 4 hours, I woke up and found that the sun had not yet set. So I decided to occupy myself with my thoughts: we need to leave as many people as possible in the fortress, they will become an indispensable resource.

It is also necessary to stock up on money, food, and gunpowder as soon as possible. I do not want to let the fortress fall as an original character.

Also, it seems that somewhere in these mountains there are hidden treasures of the Zhongs, which will help to get a lot of money. But first, I need to unite all the bandits of Mount Qingniu.

I also need to win Su Ying's heart not only because of her beauty, but also because she is a member of the Su family. With their connections, as well as Su's skills, I will be able to implement many ideas.

While thinking about this, I decided to ask the system:

Me: Hey, system, is it possible to summon people with ordinary points or only with fear points?

System: Yes, you can, but the probability of someone outstanding refusing is two to three times less than with fear glasses.

Me: How? And how much does one appeal cost?

System: 100 points from common to highest common, 1000 from rare to highest, and so on.

Me: What about the drop chances if you get 100 points?

System: 85% chance of a common human, 10% chance of a rare, 5% chance of an epic, and so on.

Me: Okay, system, open the point store.

System: Okay.

A blue screen appeared in front of me. I saw three dots in the upper right corner. I clicked on them, selected the "knowledge" section and selected a few trivial things, such as how to make paper, knowledge of agriculture, and handicrafts for dummies. After that, knowledge started pouring into my head.

A minute later, I went in search of straw and fibers to make a more or less comfortable mattress that I can put on top of my bed.

After 6 hours of work, I fell asleep on it right after completing all the tasks.
