Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

​​All the subjects could dine inside.

So many people needed a vast amount of food each day.

If it weren't for Cao Xing's formidable skills in acquiring large amounts of grain and meat, it wouldn't be possible to sustain so many people.

At this moment, the cafeteria was filled with the enticing aroma of food.

Particularly for Dazhuang and the others who had worked all day, their energy was greatly depleted, and smelling this aroma, their stomachs began to growl.

Cao Xing knew they were hungry, so he called out, "Dazhuang, Cao Yi, stop what you're doing and fill your stomachs before carrying on."

Hearing Cao Xing's call, all the subjects paused their work.

One by one, with eager expressions, they entered the cafeteria.

Undoubtedly, this was the moment they all looked forward to most each day.

Every day, Dahua prepared many nutritious and delicious meals for everyone.

Especially dinner, which was the most sumptuous!

Everyone flocked into the territory, including the newly joined Polar People and those Imperial soldiers.

When the newcomers entered the cafeteria, they were stunned by the abundance of dishes on the tables!

Tables were laden with food, an impressive array.

Golden-brown bread, fragrant rice, and rich meat soup.

Everything before them was something they had never seen on their previous Lord's lands.

The Polar Person Du An exclaimed, "My heavens! What am I seeing? Roasted bread and even honey and cheese, is this truly for us to enjoy?"

The Imperial soldiers were equally shocked, "By the Emperor! Am I dreaming?"

Even the newly joined Old Mel and Eliza hadn't imagined that the living standards in this territory could be so high.

It was practically a Noble's treatment!

For a moment, all the newcomers swallowed their saliva simultaneously.

Seeing their excited reactions, Cao Xing smiled.

In fact, this meal mainly consumed rice and wheat, with not much meat.

As in previous days, Cao Xing and his group had relied solely on eating meat to get by.

Yet even so, the richness of the dining table had already exceeded these newcomers' imaginations!

Seeing the eager expressions of the subjects,

subject Cao Yi coughed twice and began his speech.

Half a minute later, Cao Yi finished his speech.

Then he said, "So, let's thank the Lord for his generosity and enjoy the delicious dinner!"

Everyone replied in unison, "Thank the Lord for his generosity!"

The next moment, everyone picked up their bowls of rice or grabbed some bread and began to eat heartily.

Suddenly, dozens of system prompts sounded for Cao Xing.

[Your territory member Lakid enjoyed a delicious dinner, loyalty increased, current loyalty: 73]

[Your territory member Hiluviya enjoyed a delicious dinner, loyalty increased, current loyalty: 71]

[Your territory member Du An enjoyed a delicious dinner, loyalty increased, current loyalty: 75]

[Your...]

Over a hundred system prompts appeared.

All subjects increased their loyalty by 2 to 3 points.

The newcomers gained an increase of 7~10 points in loyalty.

One could say the loyalty of everyone soared.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing noticed that even the most difficult Hilda saw an increase in loyalty by one point.

However, it seemed it wasn't due to the food but for other reasons.

Hilda looked at Cao Xing with a slightly curious gaze.

Cao Xing shook his head, then with Liu Muxue, went to a nearby dining table.

This was their dining area.

There was a plate on which lay two Silver Salmons he had acquired from the powerful native of Snow Fall Lake, weighing up to 7 kilograms combined!

Taking a bite, Cao Xing widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, so smooth?"

He could feel the delicate fish meat seemed to melt instantly on his tongue.

It was a taste void of any fishiness, leaving only the pure flavor of the meat.

No wonder Chino said that Silver Salmon was an extremely rare delicacy; it truly was delicious!

However, Cao Xing awaited the system prompts in anticipation but heard none.

Not until he finished a bowl of Silver Salmon did the system prompt finally appear.

[Successfully consumed Silver Salmon, life limit +300, population +3]

Cao Xing felt a surge of joy, "It really increased the population!"

He had hoped to see if a single Silver Salmon could increase the population by 9.

But now it appeared, the system indeed wouldn't let him exploit a loophole.

Just as he was about to eat the second Silver Salmon,

Cao Xing looked at his full belly.

"My gosh, I'm stuffed..."

"Muxue, you eat this one."

Liu Muxue chuckled softly and began to savor the Silver Salmon.

Compared to Cao Xing's wolfing down, Liu Muxue chewed slowly, appearing very elegant.

It took her about five minutes to finish the Silver Salmon.

Then, a system prompt appeared.

[Liu Muxue successfully consumed Silver Salmon, life limit +300, population +3]

Cao Xing noticed that his population cap had reached 106.

Yet, that wasn't what surprised him the most.

What surprised Cao Xing was that his remaining consumption count remained unchanged.

The remaining consumption count for Silver Salmon was still: 2

Which meant that together, with Liu Muxue, they could eat 6 Silver Salmon in total, increasing the population by 18!

"I didn't expect that our consumption counts were calculated separately."

Cao Xing was delighted, although the system didn't let him exploit a loophole, but since a territory could have 2 to 4 lords, such an effect could be stacked.

After eating and drinking, Cao Xing took Liu Muxue out of the cafeteria, then said, "Muxue, our Lord's Hut will only finish upgrading after ten o'clock, so let's just find a room to rest for tonight."

Liu Muxue nodded gently, her face slightly shy, "Mm... I'll listen to you..."

The two came to a nearby residential house; several rooms were still vacant.

Each residential room had a connected heating duct.

Cao Xing randomly opened a room, and waves of warmth greeted him.

He glanced at the indoor temperature.

[Current temperature: 14°C]

"Not bad, we should be able to sleep well tonight."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to the icy world outside, the inside of their territory was simply heaven!
