《Armipotent 》Chapter 355: Organizing The Mess - Part 3
Advertisement
"So you want me to create a team to sort out those guards?" Kang Jiayi asked his son-in-law. He was sitting in a meeting room, together with Zhang Mengyao and Tang Shaoyang.
"Yes, we lack the manpower to sort them out," Tang Shaoyang admitted that he did not have people to do this thing, "You can choose the ex-soldiers to form the team. I want you to sort the scums out."
His purpose was to kick out Jin Fan's followers. The people who forced themselves on the women survivors, and also the people who killed the ordinary people with the weapon given to them. Even though he was not in the base for almost two months, he was sure that such a thing happened in the base. He wanted to sort these people out.
"I don't think I am the right person to do this," Kang Jiayi furrowed his brow. He was basically a newly arrived survivor, those people would not listen to him.
"You are the right person because you should be familiar with the soldiers. It will be easier for you to work with the people you are familiar with," Tang Shaoyang explained the reason why he chose the old man, "More importantly, you are Kang Xue's father, I trust you more than my own people currently."
"But how? How am I supposed to sort the guards?" The old man was getting more confused.
"Interviewing the survivors? We will announce the trial so they will report the guard's evil deed to us. Of course, we have to screen the report too because it might be a fake report," Tang Shaoyang voiced out his idea.
Kang Jiayi was pondering the issue. Just like Tang Shaoyang said, that might be the only way to find out the corrupted guard.
"But why do you need to screen them? After what you did to those people, I don't think they dare to continue their evil deeds," Kang Jiayi did not understand why they needed to sort this out. He believed that no one would dare to continue their misdeed with how Tang Shaoyang handled Jin Fan the others.
Another reason the old man did not want to do this screening process was that he did not want more people to be killed. He felt that not all of them deserved the death penalty.
"I want to recruit more people into Tarriors and establish a Healer Division. We will recruit people with experience, these guards have some experience in the battle, so they will be prioritized. But I want them to come clean, I don't want scum in my army," Tang Shaoyang told the old man with a solemn look.

"What is the punishment for the criminal?" Kang Jiayi realized the importance of the screening. He had to do this to help as he had decided to help Tang Shaoyang.
"Depends on what they have done. The rapist would be kicked out of the base, the murderer would be killed, and if they embezzled food or other minor crimes they can pass with a minor punishment. If they are clear, we will start to interview them for Tarrior's recruitment," Tang Shaoyang had grasped the plan.
Amidst the conversation between Tang Shaoyang and Kang Jiayi, Origin interjected, [Actually, we have a better solution for the screening process, My Lord.]
"Who's that!?" Kang Jiayi was alarmed by Origin's interruption. He immediately stood and looked around.
"Don't worry, it's Origin. He is the Smart AI that operates this smart base," Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at Kang Jiayi, "What's the solution, Origin?"
[I just checked the Level 3 General Store, and it also sells a drug called Confession Pill. We can use the Confession Pill to make the guard confess.]
[However, there's a restriction for the Confession Pill. It only works for people less than Level 100, and it costs 1,000 coins per pill.]
"That's better, we don't need to waste our time interviewing all the survivors. As for the coin, I can use mine to buy all the pills," Tang Shaoyang was delighted with the good news. Then he shot a glance at the old man, waiting for the old man's decision whether he wanted to take the job or not.
"I will take the job," after contemplating a while, Kang Jiayi nodded his head.
Tang Shaoyang smiled, "If you need something, you can talk to Origin. He will do the best to assist you."
[Nice to meet you, my name is Origin. I am living on the base and you can communicate with me as long as you are inside the base.]
"Alright, you can talk to devise your plan," Tang Shaoyang stood up and walked toward the door, "Ah, Don't forget to grant him access to the Communication System, Origin!"
*** ***
Leaving the meeting room, Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao went back to the first floor. The reason they came back to the lobby was to check the General Store.
He wanted to know what the store was selling now. More weapons and armor up to tier C, but the price was ridiculously expensive. Fifty thousand coins for one Tier-C Weapon and seventy-five thousand coins a set of armor.

Tang Shaoyang was looking for the potion, but he could not find any. Even a Level 3 shop did not sell potions. The only way to get potions was to get someone to take Potion Maker Class and repair the Alchemist Facility.
However, he noticed that now the shop was selling materials too. Herbs and Ore could be bought from the shop. He also discovered the Confession Pill that Origin talked about. Not only this pill, he even found an aphrodisiac.
"Origin, can you limit the shop? I don't want that other than me and the other higher-ups to access the drugs!" He felt it was necessary to have those things hidden.
[I can't hide them, but I can lock them so the others can't buy the items]
In response, Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao were sorting out the item. It took them one and half hours to sort those items out.
"But the General Store will help us to establish the Smithy," Zhang Mengyao voiced her thoughts, "They sell the ores, various kinds of ores, though it's a bit expensive."
"Yeah, looking for mine is still the best solution if we want to build the Smithy and nurture many blacksmiths," One blacksmith was clearly not enough for his army, so they needed a permanent resource for the ore. Forging was a trial of failures before they could get the result the blacksmith wanted. The same for the Alchemist, a lot of resources were needed to nurture these two professions.
After checking the General Store, Tang Shaoyang went back to his room while Zhang Mengyao went out to check on Tarriors. The reason he went back to his room was the control room. He wanted to know the new buildings he could build in his territory.
Inside the control room, he checked the new buildings. The new buildings were Defense Tower, Training Ground with a dome-like shape building, upgraded wall, and various kinds of buildings in different shapes. It could be built for their purpose, residency, office, outpost, and more.
"This is more and more like a game…" Tang Shaoyang could not help but mutter. It was kinda bitter that his life was a mere game.
He shook his head and checked the defense tower. There were many types of defense towers, but he unlocked one Defense Tower. It was a tower with three ballistas installed in it. The defensive weapon was designed similar to the crossbow, but this was a bigger version of the actual crossbow with a bigger projectile too. Such a weapon was fatal, especially in this early stage. Tang Shaoyang checked the price for one Defense Tower.
"A million coins for one, huh!?" Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin. It was still affordable for his base to purchase the defense tower, "I only need them at the gate to increase our security level, three or four towers for each gate is not bad."
After the Defense Tower, he checked the Training Ground. He tried to look at the description, but it told him nothing but a place for training.
He could not but furrowed his brows, "Origin, does the Training Ground include the facility for training?"
[Even though it is called Training Ground, it is actually a giant arena for sparring. Ah, there is a tool to measure the battle power of each individual based on a test. I am not allowed to tell you the details of the Training Ground until you purchase the building, but this will help you if you want to recruit Tarriors. Battle Power is not determined by the level of an individual, but their experiences will be considered in the assessment.]
This Training Ground could be a really big help to recruit the army. Instead of using this Training Ground for training, he could use this building as an operation building for Tarrior. He checked the price, it cost five million coins for this building.
"I need to recruit the Tarriors first and use the spare coins to buy the necessary building," Tang Shaoyang had to consider the cost since recruiting Tarriors also cost a lot. For their class, he had to pay ten thousand coins for one Tarrior. Additionally, he had to equip them with better gears.
He had a lot of equipment in his inventory, but it would not be enough to arm hundreds of people obviously. In the end, he had to buy the gears from the General Store that cost a lot.
Tang Shaoyang spent his time in the control room, checking all the new buildings. He was planning for the future.

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.
