Chapter 397: Chapter 397

The Dawn Fortress is a military structure of the Templar Order, so its level is not very high.

Lin Rui led a large army straight in and quickly found various treasure troves within the fortress.

Besides the 120 Holy Light Messenger Inheritance Scrolls that Audrey brought over, Lin Rui was particularly interested in the library within the fortress, as soldiers reported that the priority of these resources was the highest.

When Lin Rui entered, Hanna was already there personally, smiling as she introduced to Lin Rui: "This library is an important resource repository for the Templar Order. The books inside can provide soldiers with numerous ways to become stronger and are essential materials used to reward meritorious soldiers."

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow: "Sounds very valuable. What do they have?"

Hanna, smiling brightly, led him to the interior of the library: "I’ve already sorted out the important items. This row is the Experience Books, with roughly over 150,000 copies."

Lin Rui casually used a spatial artifact to collect them all.

[Ding, obtained Experience Book *163521]

Over 163,000 copies, a little more than Hanna expected.

Each Experience Book can provide 10,000 experience points, and approximately 160,000 books can provide 1.6 billion experience.

No wonder they can be stored in the Templar Order’s library, filling several dozen bookshelves.

For any artifact, its strength is not solely determined by quality; the scale itself is also one of the most important considerations of strength.

It’s like these Experience Books; if a large quantity is heaped onto a single person, it can forcibly create a super-tier powerhouse, raising an ordinary person to super-tier.

What talent, what traits, none of that can match the efficiency of resources like these.

Lin Rui did not intend to simply distribute these Experience Books evenly.

Absolute fairness would inevitably lead to absolute inefficiency. If everyone receives the same treatment despite varying contributions, which soldier would still give their all in battle?

So Lin Rui discussed with Hanna: "How about you manage the territory’s resource library? I plan to use some of these Experience Books as salary for soldiers, three books per month for Tier Three soldiers, and five books per month for Tier Five soldiers. A portion will be made available as resources, which soldiers can exchange using merits and contribution points."

Hanna decisively refused: "I don’t want to. Don’t you know that followers of the God of Joy can’t handle such tedious tasks? We just want to keep trying new positions!"

Lin Rui remained expressionless: "With just those few positions, even if you play them to the fullest, how long can you keep trying?"

Hanna covered her mouth and laughed, glancing at Audrey: "That’s not necessarily true. It just means Lord you are still too inexperienced. Besides, I didn’t say that there are only two people involved. You know, with more people, various positions will exponentially increase."

This... Lin Rui suddenly felt his thoughts wandering, involuntarily looking toward Su Xi.

Her cold face showed slight anger, and her hand was already on the hilt of her sword, seemingly ready to strike at Hanna at any moment. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveIꜰire.net

Lin Rui swiftly stopped the topic; any further and it might lead to bloodshed.

If they were unwilling, Lin Rui had no choice but to give up. Clearly, the territory really needed a more comprehensive and powerful internal affairs hero-type talent.

Just as Lin Rui finished thinking about internal affairs, Hanna led him onward, arriving at the craft area.

"The books in this section all pertain to internal affairs, such as this one."

Lin Rui reached out and caught the book she tossed over, glancing at it.
