Seeing Su Mo spacing out, she quickly thought about it and continued to add extra details to help him restore his memory as soon as possible.
“I heard rumors that Heaven’s Origin was founded by the Human God, Almighty Su. He left behind a solid foundation, and the territory gradually developed until it reached today’s success.”
“Almighty Su?”
“Yes. When we first came to the wasteland eight years ago, it was Almighty Su who had helped us ease up the dire situation. He defeated all the foreign gods alone and bought humans a precious year’s worth of time to develop.He was the reason humans have achieved so much. Without Almighty Su, we humans would not be where we are today.
“However, he also mysteriously disappeared eight years ago and never showed himself ever again.
!!
“Some people speculated that he got trapped somewhere and did not manage to escape. Some say that he fell and left behind his countless treasures. Some think he ascended to a higher dimension to fight against stronger opponents.
“Despite the countless talk of Almighty Su in the past eight years, they were all rumors, and no one had any follow-up information about his whereabouts.”
Every word Huang Xiaojuan uttered caused a rumble like a thunderstorm in Su Mo’s heart.
He was surprised, excited, and full of anticipation and desire.
He had a strong urge to head to the territory immediately. It felt like he would be going home, but at the same time, he was unsure of how to actually step into the territory.
‘They relied on the things I left behind and developed to the territory to great lengths without me…’
Su Mo was fascinated that the territory had developed to such an extent in eight years. He desperately wished he could grow a pair of wings to fly directly to the territory.
Seeing the longing expression on Su Mo’s face, Huang Xiaojuan shook her head and mercilessly poured cold water on his thoughts.
“Woah, Youzong. You must’ve really lost all your memories!
“Everyone has the same thoughts you have right now when they first hear of Heaven’s Origin. They all think about how to join and what good life it would be to live within such a powerful territory.
“However, everything has a price tag in the wasteland… Nevermind. You should open the game panel and check for yourself.”
Hearing Huang Xiaojuan’s reminder, Su Mo suddenly remembered the pre-mission he had to discover.
Su Mo summoned in his heart, and the light green game panel opened up.
Su Mo noticed the pre-mission notification reminder on the main interface with only two functions left.
[Pre-mission: Escape from Green Fruit Territory / Lead Green Fruit Territory to Resist!]
[Preliminary environment: After eight years, the continuous disasters and frequent wars have exhausted almost all of the foreign races’ material reserves. Between the gap period between disasters, the foreigners who had been forced into a dead end decided to make their last efforts to resist and fight back against the humans to occupy resources for a new start.]
[Mission description: 12 powerful foreign races with up to 150,000 soldiers have their eyes set on the Green Fruit Territory, which is rich in food resources. They urgently need to capture this territory to provide large amounts of food for the subsequent war needs. As a resident of the Prickly Pear Town under such a complicated environment, it is time for you to make a choice.]
[Quest completion condition 1: Successfully escape from Green Fruit Territory during the suppression and attacks. By doing so, you will automatically obtain a “refugee” status.]
[Quest completion condition 2: Lead Green Fruit Territory in resistance and destroy the foreign race’s plan. By doing so, you will automatically obtain the “territory lord” status of Green Fruit Territory.]
[Countdown to Enemy Attack: 103:55:18]
‘As long as I can defend against the foreign races, I’ll obtain the territory lord status of Green Fruit Territory?’
Su Mo quickly read through the permission description and was slightly relieved. At the same time, his understanding of this world had deepened again.
The current situation was that foreigners had lost all external support eight years ago, and no other foreign races had arrived in the New World. Thus, they had not been able to obtain additional resources.
It was reasonable that they would want to rise and put up resistance against the humans.
‘It was just as I guessed before. This world is something like a parallel timeline and not the current main timeline which I came from.
‘Perhaps the game isn’t capable enough to predict the future or that there are too many variables that would affect the outcome.’
In conclusion, Su Mo was satisfied with the current environment that he was about to face.
Leaving the completion condition of the permission behind, Su Mo returned to the home page and studied the factor function.
A cursor controlled by his consciousness took shape and lightly tapped on the factor function.
The interface changed, and a leaderboard-like thing popped up and began to subdivide into two columns—human and foreign races.
In the large column of humans, there were various ranking leaderboards.
‘Territory size, territory population, territory’s technological process, territory’s resources…’
There was a total of 15 rankings. The leaderboard showed the statistics of each territory according to their individual development.
Su Mo swept across several rankings and immediately spotted the territory he had founded—Heaven’s Origin.
“Woah. We’re ranked pretty high!”
In terms of territory area, Heaven’s Origin was only ranked 49 among all territories. However, it was ranked in the top ten of technological progress and resources.
This proved the importance of their earlier stage’s accumulation in the next eight years.
After flipping through the leaderboards for a while, Su Mo memorized the first few territories and turned to Green Fruit Territory.
[Overal Ranking: 249th]
It was neither too low nor too high on the list. It could achieve this position because of the territory’s rich agricultural produce, including large grain and natural crops.
In terms of technological progress and population…
‘There are less than ninety thousand people, and the level of technology is basically zero. There are only very few factories that utilize technology bought from other territories. The territory itself has no research and development capabilities at all.
‘Makes sense. It is unrealistic for a territory to have the best of both worlds.’
Green Fruit Territory was a considerable size. It was 400 kilometers from north to south and 200 kilometers from east to west.
The terrain was flat, and there was sufficient sunlight. Several rivers passed through the territory and provided the basic conditions for growing crops. It had the perfect conditions to become an agricultural-type territory.
Naturally, Green Fruit Territory did not intend to develop its combat forces. Thus, most of their weapons were purchased from others.
‘It would be challenging to lead a territory in this condition to defeat a stronger enemy with more significant numbers as the territory lord.
‘Not to mention that I’m merely the deputy director of the resource department in a small territory town.’
Su Mo shook his head. Although he had not decided on which condition to complete for the pre-mission, he had formulated a general plan.
