Chapter 31 (2/2)

Since currency was popularized, all the surrounding demi-humans had signed contracts with Puba Village.

These contracts allowed the surrounding demi-humans to store all their food in the city.

At this stage, the city was most lacking in grain.

This was because the first season of magic rice could only be harvested in October and it was only the middle of July.

In the municipal office.

Mortimer took out all the grain storage records in the city. Joshua picked up the records on the table and read them one by one.

At present, the grain storage situation in Puba Village was not very good. If they were still in their previous situation, they would probably have run out of grain by now.

The grain in the city could barely last until the October harvest. In order to avoid accidents, Joshua decided to make some moves.

“Deputy Village Chief Mortimer, during this period of time, send out a few patrol members to collect wild fruits. Then, from the city guards, select some people who know how to fish and tell them to catch some fish at sea!”

“The grain in the city can indeed last until the autumn harvest. But we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to have 100% yield during harvesting season. In order to reduce the risk of grain production, we’ll try to find other substitutes from the surrounding jungle and the sea!”

Hearing Joshua’s words, Mortimer immediately nodded and began to plan out how to get these orders done.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Joshua quietly left the city hall from the side.

After completing the arrangements in the city, Joshua went to the Science and Technology Academy.

The defense around the Science and Technology Academy was very tight. Unless one was an ant, it would be very difficult to enter.

Because the Science and Technology Academy was mainly located underground, only a part of the testing site was above ground.

After entering the front door of the Science and Technology Academy, one could only enter Alger’s room after layers of identity verification.

Alger, who was busy, stopped his work when he saw Joshua arrive.

“Village Chief Joshua, come and take a look at this!”

Following Alger from behind, he came in front of a strange machine. However, after looking at it carefully, he finally remembered what it was!

“It’s a water filter. You actually made it into an enhanced version!”

Because Joshua had his system, he could tell at a glance that the machine had been enhanced.

When Alger heard Joshua’s words, he immediately beamed with joy. “Sir Joshua is indeed the most powerful person in my heart! You can tell what it is just by looking at it!”

“How’s the test going?”

“Currently, it’s been going on for more than ten days. Everything is very stable and its energy consumption is very little. The daily consumption of magic stones it requires is about the size of my thumb!”

When he heard this, Joshua could not help but praise Alger’s genius. This was because the things that were originally produced from this design blueprint were several times more energy-consuming than the current enhanced test model before him.

“That’s good! After the city walls are built, we’ll popularize these things. This way, everyone can have access to clean drinking water and not endlessly search for non-polluted water sources!”

After leaving the Science and Technology Academy, Joshua felt relaxed. Now, all the important places to ensure the village was fully functioning had been settled.

Along the way, Joshua walked until he arrived at the entertainment district. Apart from drinking, there were also various red-light districts.

As he walked, he suddenly heard crying. Following the sound, Joshua found a girl.

She had a pair of fox ears and three short tails behind her butt.

The few demi-humans around her were quite scary so as soon as they got close to her, she would start crying even harder.

Joshua immediately walked over and gestured to the people around him to disperse.
