Shen Xing’s eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the information on this group of refugees.

Most of the people in this group were ordinary refugees with no skills.

But a fair number of them had mastered one or two Life Skills.

Although they were just ordinary crafts like sewing, carpentry, masonry, and bricklaying, it was still a good haul.

After all, he possessed the Legendary Level [Rain God’s Blessing], which could instantly raise their skills by one level.

The tailors could take the processed leather and sew it into leather armor, increasing the mobility and defense of his soldier types.

The carpenters could build more wooden furniture, taking the living conditions in the houses to the next level.

The masons could assist with the city wall expansion, speed up the construction of the outer walls, and repair statues, among other things.

All in all, these newcomers were quite useful.

Just then, Shen Xing’s gaze swept to the front of the crowd, landing on a middle-aged man dressed in leather armor.

Shen Xing: "!!!"

’Holy cow! High Level Animal Husbandry and High Level Beast Taming!’

’This is a high-level talent with two skills—the equivalent of an SSR in a gacha game!’

’Of course, he only has two high-level masteries because of the Rain God’s Blessing. Otherwise, he’d be an SR at best.’

"Kael, you know how to tame beasts?" Shen Xing asked, suppressing his excitement.

The middle-aged man named Kael replied respectfully, "Yes, my esteemed Lord."

"Moreover, after joining this territory, I feel like my taming techniques have improved a great deal all of a sudden."

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "Then what about Finger Insects? Do you have any experience raising a creature like that?"

Kael thought for a moment before answering seriously, "Lord, I’ve encountered creatures like the Finger Insect before at the Beast Taming Arena in Videng Royal City. There are a few key points to keep in mind."

"First, a Finger Insect that has had its finger severed needs its wound covered with black soil. Otherwise, its regeneration speed will be greatly reduced."

"Second, the breeding area must be completely enclosed. It’s best to build a few walls to partition it off and pile the earth inside about six meters high."

"Finally, there’s the Finger Insects’ food. Their favorite thing to eat is the black bug. Mashing these bugs into feed can accelerate their growth and recovery."

"Black bugs?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Kael replied respectfully. "They are a common type of bug in the Land of Mist, usually found hiding several meters underground."

"They have an extremely high reproduction rate. When we were starving these past few days, we even dug some up to eat."

As he spoke, he took out a worn-out burlap sack and emptied its contents.

Instantly, several fist-sized monsters began to crawl slowly on the ground. They resembled cockroaches, with two antennae on their heads, but were far uglier.

"These are the mother bugs. Their bellies are full of eggs," Kael explained. "You can raise them in the same area as the Finger Insects. The mother bugs will continuously lay eggs, and the hatched larvae will be the best feed for the Finger Insects."

After hearing this, Shen Xing shouted to the laborers working in the distance, "Monday, go bring out two platters of bread."

"Yes, Lord!"

Monday, who was in the middle of cultivating the fertile fields, immediately dropped his tools and jogged into the processing plant.

A moment later, he walked over quickly, carrying two platters of freshly baked Moonlight Bread.

Even before he got close, the rich aroma of wheat wafted over.

The group of refugees couldn’t help but take a deep breath, their mouths watering.

"Lord, the bread is here!"

The dark-skinned Monday walked respectfully before him, his hands holding the bread platters steady.

"Distribute it," Shen Xing ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

Monday quickly turned, went to the group of refugees, and handed each of them a piece.

These newly-joined refugees stared at the steaming hot bread in their hands, practically drooling.

But as commoners from Videng Royal City, they all recognized this type of bread.

"By... by the gods... This is Moonlight Bread, exclusively for the royal family and nobles!" a woman exclaimed. "If commoners like us dare to touch this bread, we’ll be captured and enslaved."

Fear also appeared in the eyes of the other refugees. They stared at the bread in their hands, swallowing repeatedly, but didn’t dare take a bite.

Shen Xing said calmly, "Just eat. This is my territory. The rules of Videng Royal City don’t apply here."

The refugees looked at one another.

One of the children could no longer resist and began to eat ravenously, making sounds of pure delight.

Seeing this, the other refugees couldn’t hold back either and started stuffing the bread into their mouths.

After ravenously devouring the bread, they all felt a warm current spreading from their stomachs, and even their exhaustion seemed to lessen considerably.

All the refugees knelt down once more and said respectfully, "Praise be to you, our benevolent and generous Lord!"

This time, their gratitude came from the bottom of their hearts.

Shen Xing looked at the young slave beside him. "Monday, I’m putting you in charge of their management and training."

"Except for the workers with professional skills, everyone else must learn how to farm and mine."
