"Start the construction!"
With Lincoln's order, the villagers immediately started to repair the blacksmith shop and the militia camp without a moment's delay, and also began to build more civilian houses.
After he finished all this, he suddenly found that there was nothing else to do. In the early stage, the most the villagers could do was to build civilian houses and repair abandoned buildings.
All the defensive buildings and trap devices could only be built after recruiting construction workers.
And the construction workers could only be recruited after the territory was upgraded to a level - 3 village and the lord's mansion was upgraded.
So... at present, he really had nothing to do, and even most of the villagers suddenly became idle. Many functions could only be operated after unlocking a higher - level village.
Lincoln rubbed his aching temples from staring at the screen for a long time. He glanced at the time on the computer and came back to his senses.
It turned out that several hours had passed since he came back. At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark.
Looking out of the office's floor - to - ceiling window, the big city at night was not dark. It was still brightly lit and bustling with traffic.
Lincoln's expression was gloomy, and his mood was far from relaxed.
The doomsday - like scene was still vivid in his mind. Humans couldn't enjoy such a prosperous and peaceful life for long.
Soon, humanity would face the greatest crisis since evolving into intelligent species.
"This time, I will definitely rewrite that ending with my own hands!"
Lincoln clenched his fists, and his eyes became even more determined. So far, the reconstruction progress of the territory was quite fast.
Cleaning up the territory, recruiting legendary heroes, collecting building blueprints... Everything was developing towards his ideal state.
"I wonder what I can achieve before the Blood Moon Frenzy arrives at this pace?"
Just as Lincoln was bowing his head in deep thought, suddenly the office door was pushed open forcefully with a "bang".
He subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar figure walking in angrily from outside.
"Lincoln, what's wrong with you? Why are all your credit cards maxed out?"
Looking at the angry woman in front of him, Lincoln suddenly felt a bit dazed. Memories about her flooded into his mind like a tide.
The woman in front of him was Belinda, his fiancée before the doomsday. At the same time, she was also one of the people Lincoln hated the most.
In his previous life, before the doomsday, Lincoln had spent a large amount of resources and money to support Belinda and her entire family.
Unexpectedly, after the doomsday came, seeing that Lincoln was no longer prosperous, Belinda immediately hugged someone else's thigh.
She even colluded with her family to cheat him out of a large amount of resources before leaving.
If it weren't for Lincoln's good luck, he might not have even survived the early stage of the doomsday.
Later, after the human race lost in the racial war, it was said that Belinda and a group of human traitors had become lackeys of the alien lords.
They were specifically responsible for suppressing their own people, making the already - difficult situation of the human lords even worse and completely losing the chance to make a comeback.
"Lincoln, did you hear what I'm saying?"
"Do you know how embarrassing I was today? I promised to treat everyone, but none of the credit cards worked. My little sisters were all watching. It was so embarrassing!"
Belinda's complaining voice kept coming, pulling Lincoln's thoughts back from his memories.
Lincoln sneered in his heart. It was the same in his previous life. Before the doomsday, this bitch had been wantonly squandering money with his supplementary credit card.
Spending hundreds of thousands or even millions a month was considered normal. She ate and took from him, and even didn't forget to cheat him when leaving.
Could he still be controlled by this bitch after being reborn?
His eyes instantly turned cold, and he spat out a single cold word from his mouth: "Get out!"
"Hey, did you really listen to what I'm saying? I'm talking about... What did you say?" Belinda was stunned on the spot because of Lincoln's sudden word "get out".
"Lincoln, what are you talking about?" Belinda seemed very surprised by his attitude.
This was not strange. After all, in his previous life, although Lincoln was the chairman of a big company, he always obeyed Belinda's words.
He not only spent a lot of money to make her a big internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans but also spent money to support her younger brother and parents to make her happy.
For Lincoln, Belinda's whole family was like parasites on him, constantly sucking his nutrients and blood.
For Belinda, Lincoln was just a rich and obedient ATM, always meeting all her unreasonable requests.
At this moment, Lincoln's attitude really surprised her. However, Belinda was still Belinda.
She quickly adjusted her emotions and pretended to be on the verge of crying.
She complained, "My mom said that a man's words are lies. A man who doesn't spend money on a woman is not a good man. I didn't believe it at that time.
I didn't expect you to change your heart right after we got engaged. I really met a scumbag..."
Lincoln just coldly watched her acting.
It had to be said that Belinda was good - looking, looking like a pure and natural white lotus.
Her tearful appearance was really pitiful. If it were in his previous life, he would definitely have compromised by now.
But now... As if thinking of something, he forcibly held back the swear words that were about to blurt out. Instead, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and first comforted her a few words.
"Okay, okay, what's there to cry about?" Seeing Lincoln "compromise" again, Belinda immediately stopped crying.
She changed her expression faster than turning a page in a book. Her acting skills were comparable to those of an Oscar - winning actress.
She pouted and said unhappily, "What on earth happened? Why are the credit limits of all the credit cards maxed out? What have you been doing in the company?"
Hearing her words, Lincoln then remembered that he had maxed out several credit cards.
The reason why Belinda's card also had no available credit was that hers was a supplementary card.
Since the main card had used up all the credit limit, the supplementary card naturally couldn't be used either.
"Is the company in trouble?" Belinda asked curiously. She really didn't know much about the company's operations.
Lincoln raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course not. The company is operating normally now.
However, the company is expanding into new business recently, and there are some difficulties in cash flow."
Any financial staff who understood how a company operated would know that Lincoln's words didn't make sense at all.
If it was a company - related matter, why would he use his personal account?
But Belinda was just a good - looking internet celebrity who only knew how to spend money and didn't understand these things at all.
She nodded as if she understood, and then suddenly seemed to remember something: "By the way, how about the thing I told you last time?"
"What thing?" Lincoln naturally couldn't remember such an old matter.
"Come on, it's about my younger brother. He just graduated recently, and I promised to find a job for him."
Belinda pouted and said, "My mom said that it would be better to let him join our company. Just make him the financial director.
After all, we'll be a family in the future, and he can help you with the business later."
After hearing this, Lincoln sneered again in his heart. Help me?
More like screw me over! Her younger brother, a graduate from a third - rate college, wanted to be the financial director of a listed company right after graduation?
If he liked to dream, he should put a thicker pillow under his head.
Lincoln still remembered that it was because of Belinda's ungrateful younger brother's so - called advice that he had been cheated out of a large amount of resources and almost died in the early Blood Moon Frenzy.
Lincoln lowered his head and thought for a moment. He didn't rush to refuse. Instead, he looked up and said, "Okay, let your brother come for work tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Belinda jumped up excitedly: "I knew my husband was the best!" As she said this, she tried to lean on Lincoln. But Lincoln quickly stood up with a look of disgust and dodged her hug.
Lincoln felt sick to his stomach. He didn't want to stay with her for a single second. He casually made an excuse: "Well, it's getting late.
I still have to work on the new business. I won't have much time to accompany you recently. You can go and have fun on your own." After saying that, he left the office.
After saying goodbye to Belinda and reaching the underground parking lot, he took out his phone and dialed a familiar number. "Hello, is this Secretary Garcia?"
