The young man smiled helplessly upon hearing this and said, "The Director might not know, but those n handed over their Contribution Value exchange rights to their families before setting out."
This makes sense then!
Qiu Peng shook his head slightly, only then did he understand.
Those who are out on expeditions are fundantally sacrificing for the Camp. Handing over their Contribution Value to their families is natural, and he can’t say much about it.
At the beginning of the Cold Elent Festival, when reporting to Xia Hong, the camp had a total of 2,192 in the Earth-digging Realm and 11,924 in the Logging Realm. Now, four months have passed, and these numbers have naturally changed dramatically.
"3,282, 16,293."
Qiu Peng opened the Camp Supply Departnt ledger in his hand, saw the new numbers, and his expression tightened slightly before revealing a mix of joy and worry.
The joy, of course, is that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of both Earth-digging and Logging Realms in Great Xia.
The worry, however, is that with the rapid increase in numbers, the consumption of beast at is becoming terrifyingly high!
With 3,282 in the Earth-digging Realm and 16,293 in the Logging Realm, based on these numbers and combining them with the ceiling for exchange that was just reported, if everyone were to exchange, the current daily beast at consumption in the Camp Supply Departnt would precisely amount to 110,000 jin.
"Last December, just in that month alone, the Hunting Departnt submitted a total of 2.1 million jin of beast at. If everything were normal, this consumption wouldn’t be a problem for us, but now..."
Qiu Peng waved his hand directly, indicating to his subordinate not to say anything further.
The situation had already changed; he understood that.
In December last year, that 2.1 million jin figure was sothing he personally reported to Xia Hong in the grand hall, and he rembered it clearly.
The problem is that back then, the entire Hunting Departnt was fully committed to hunting Cold Beasts, unlike now, when suddenly 2,600 in the Earth-digging Realm have gone to Longyou, including thirty-two Interdiate Hunting Teams.
"We have a reserve of 1.2 million jin, the last three days were exchanged for about 110,000 jin each day, and today there’s only 910,000 jin left. So, in these three days, the beast at submitted by the Hunting Departnt was only over 40,000 jin?"
Qiu Peng, upon asking, saw the young man nod imdiately, smiling bitterly:
"Indeed, it’s just that much. Here in Xia City, currently, there are only 10 Low-level Hunting Teams, and among them, 3 were just established. Their hunting ability is indeed insufficient. Luckily, with Lord Zhu Ling leading them personally, they manage to bring back about 20,000 jin each night. Plus, with contributions from Mirror Valley and Wuyuan combined, we gather around 20,000 jin each night, bringing the total to a bit over 40,000."
Qiu Peng shook his head upon hearing this. Even though Zhu Ling has Cold Resistance Level cultivation, leading those low-level teams, they can likely only hunt Low-level Cold Beasts; otherwise, they couldn’t possibly kill two or thirty in a night.
Yue Feng from Mirror Valley and Xu Ning from Wuyuan are probably doing the sa, taking the hundred or so Earth-digging Realm guardians and hunting Low-level Cold Beasts to supplent the camp.
"Sir, should we temporarily halt the beast at supply for the reservists? This group consus 30,000 to 40,000 jin daily, and even if they make a breakthrough, they’re only in the Logging Realm. According to your words, we should focus on nurturing a portion into the Earth-digging Realm soon. It would be better to allocate so beast at to others by stopping the supply to them first..."
"No need, I forgot to tell you that the leader has already recalled people. Over the next few days, 1,800 people will gradually return to Xia City, including many Interdiate Teams. By then, the beast at reserve should not be an issue!"
Qiu Peng, since returning last night, has been handling other matters and clearly hasn’t communicated this information.
Upon hearing this, the young man’s expression instantly lightened significantly.
"1,800 people, and with many Interdiate Hunting Teams, there should definitely be no issue. Can we also lower the beast at prices?"
Given the current situation, with 40,000 jin of beast at coming in daily, once 1,800 people return from Longyou, the camp’s current beast at predicant would be imdiately resolved. Thinking of the still-abundant stock, the young man promptly asked Qiu Peng whether the prices should be reduced.
Qiu Peng shook his head imdiately, "Prices will not be reduced for now. This round of population increase will be quite terrifying. Let’s observe the actual beast at consumption for now and decide once things stabilize."
The population increase this ti will be quite terrifying?
The young man seed unaware of the situation in Longyou and imdiately asked with curiosity:
"Already in the past three nights, more than 15,000 people have arrived. Do you an more will co?"
Qiu Peng suddenly raised his head and looked towards the top of the building.
The young man thought he hadn’t heard clearly and wanted to speak again.
"Over 40,000 more people should be coming gradually. I’m going upstairs to et the leader first; wait here for , I’ll be right back."
Going upstairs to et the leader?
The leader has returned...
"Yes, sir!"
The young man straightened his expression, respectfully looking up at the top of the building.
Over 40,000 people!
After Qiu Peng left, the young man was taken aback by the words he had just heard.
"Did I hear that right? Did the sir just say over 40,000 more people will gradually co? The camp already has such a large population, and with 40,000 more, wouldn’t that an..."
His expression suddenly froze, his face instantly full of astonishnt.
