“In the beginning. I’ll provide seeds, tools–everything you need–for free! David and his family will lead the way with farming and livestock. Camp taxes are waived for the first month. After that, everyone must start paying me in points!”

Theresa addressed the crowd with confidence.

Everyone looked at her with a mixture of anxiety and gratitude.

She had given them safety and land. She was guiding them back to a stable, peaceful life, and even provided a one–month grace period.

Within a month, they could harvest early–maturing vegetables.

That was enough time to get their production and daily lives back on track–especially since they each had a few dozen points to begin with, more than enough to live on for now.

Plus, thanks to Theresa’s strict incentives, everyone was motivated and eager to work.

After all, if a dragon only brought good weather and bountiful harvests, humans wouldn’t worship it- they’d treat it like a beast of burden.

But if that same dragon could summon thunder and raze everything to the ground, people would revere it as a god.

The art of leadership lay in a balance of kindness and authority.

To these people, Theresa was a god.

“Oh, right–Theresa,” David spoke up, “shouldn’t we name the camp? What are we calling it?”

Theresa thought for a moment, then declared to the group, “Blazing Sun Camp. From now on, you’re all residents of Blazing Sun Camp!”

Everyone stood straighter at the name, their expressions turning devout as they looked at Theresa.

Then, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind,

Ding! Ultimate Leader System activated! Camp successfully named!

Ding! Prosperity level unlocked! Current prosperity level: 60!

Resident loyalty increased by 10 percent!

Camp productivity increased by 10 percent!

Theresa was surprised.

Two practical and powerful rewards in a row!

This system was the real deal.

She checked the newly unlocked atribuite prosperity level now appeared below her point and gleamstone totals.

Opening the prosperity level panel, she saw a detailed breakdown:

Current residents: 19

Camp guards: 1

War dogs: 16

Territory area: approx. 16 square miles

Cultivated land: 5 acres

Current prosperity level: 60 (Rustic Village)

Theresa was speechless.

“Rustic Village” felt like a bit of a slap in the face.

Prosperity level is a composite of multiple metrics. Upgrading the title unlocks reward packs!

She glanced at the next tier.

Once the prosperity level hits 500, it will transition into the Suburban Fringe. Perfect. I have to at least make it to “Suburban Fringe.” For the glory of Blazing Sun Camp–onward!

Theresa left the residential area.

She let the residents choose any vacant house within her territory to live in.

Given the current technological limitations, she was temporarily registering everyone’s point totals by hand, keeping two copies–one for her, one for the resident. If they needed to exchange points for supplies, they just had to tell David’s family. Yuki would deliver the items the next day.

Resources were limited, and they were still figuring things out. Theresa was short on help, so this was the best she could do for now.

She gave David’s family a 100–point subsidy, and from now on, their rent would be deducted at 10 points as well, with no need to deliver daily yields.

After settling everyone and handing out seeds for David to lead the planting efforts, Theresa headed out.

On the road, Kyle kept sneaking glances at her.

“What are you looking at?”

Still driving, Kyle replied seriously, “I think you’re a great leader.”

Theresa was startled.

A surprise compliment. Wait–is he about to ask for a paycheck?

She looked at Kyle, thought for three seconds, then said, “Fine. You’ve been working the hardest. You deserve some pay. From now on, you’ll get 100 points a month. If you need anything, come to me to exchange.”

Kyle was speechless.

He let out a soft snort of laughter.

“What, not enough? A hundred points is a lot! That’s the same as 100 pounds of food!” Theresa quickly counted on her fingers. “Don’t forget–you sold yourself to me. I cover your food, housing, and even bathroom breaks! Do I really need to say how good you’ve got it? You should be grateful!

“Anyway, that’s settled. Once the camp grows, I’ll throw in some bonuses. I’m tired. Gonna get some sleep.”
