[Growth level: five-star fifth level]

I discovered it when I returned to the Earth Shadow Demon King's lair.

This guy has hoarded a lot of materials, and the materials are not just earth-type materials. After annexing the Wind Shadow Monster Tribe before, it seems that he also hoarded a lot of wind-type materials.

Lin Chen slowly stood up. After a day of rest, his injuries were basically recovered.

These materials are enough to support Lin Chen for a period of time to understand the innate skills of these two shadow demon monarchs.

Only when his skills have improved to a certain level can Lin Chen be confident about attacking the next group of shadow monsters.

Lin Chen roughly counted the number of shadow demons he currently commanded.

There are about 450 of them.

Suddenly Lin Chen discovered the biggest difficulty in evolution.

That is, if the number of the remaining two shadow demon tribes is similar to this number, then he can only command 1,500 shadow demons.

There are at least 3,500 shadow demon gaps!

Is it possible that there are other shadow demon tribes in the shadow demon secret realm?

Otherwise, commanding five thousand shadow demons would definitely be a long process.

It takes longer than learning the innate skills of the four shadow demon monarchs.

Let's take a step at a time.

Now we need to develop the ethnic group first, and then our own growth rate will be accelerated.

Then we need to make new rules.

After all, Lin Chen was a young social animal who was almost thirty years old in his previous life. He also had some experience in the methods of squeezing surplus value from some capitalists. Let’s learn from it?

Let this group of shadow monsters experience the spiritual stimulation method from modern society.

Lin Chen shouted, summoning all his subordinates and shadow demons to come and gather.

Let them arrange their growth levels in a vertical square array and their racial levels in a horizontal square array.

Eliminate the one-star demon spirit and obtain nine square arrays.

A total of 386 demon spirits.

[Commander] The shadow demon spirits of the race are rampant, three with four stars, five with three stars, and two with two stars.

[Elite] Shadow demons of the race are rampant, with thirty-two four-stars, fifty-three three-stars, and seventeen two-stars.

[Mortal Spirits] The racial shadow demons are rampant, with one hundred and thirty-seven four-stars, seventy-nine three-stars, and fifty-eight two-stars.

Lin Chen is growing up very quickly, and he doesn't worry at all that there will be rebellious guys like him among them, nor does he worry that there will be powerful shadow monsters that will shake his position.

Therefore, there is no need to deliberately sacrifice shadow demons to reduce the number of tribes.

Now each soldier is a resource.

After understanding, in the Shadow Demon Cave, new shadow demons are born almost every time. As long as Lin Chen keeps growing, he will reach the five thousand mark sooner or later.

Now we need to set rules for efficient development.

Lin Chen raised his head and looked down at the group of shadow demons, and slowly ordered:

"From now on, you will be divided into ten teams, and you will hunt and search for materials separately, and distribute high-grade food or materials according to your contribution..."

The shadow demon will go out to hunt after eating high-grade materials for daily consumption. Lin Chen allocates them according to the sharing amount, just to prevent the appearance of shadow demons like him who take advantage of the situation.

High-level demon spirits eat the most flesh and blood and do the least work.

"After seven days, the group with the highest average contribution and the group with the lowest will be settled. The reward for the highest group will be doubled for the day, and the lowest group will serve as the vanguard when hunting high-level demons."

The reward and punishment system must be complete.

"Now ten group leaders are selected. The group leader gets one of my scales and can command the group members. The daily reward is twice the average reward of the group."

Learn to delegate power and promote motivation.

"The captain makes his own selection. If he disagrees, he can initiate a challenge. Now he can stand up."

Lin Chen glanced at the confused group of shadow demons. He had already made the rules very simple, and it was just a matter of whether they could be implemented well.

The group of shadow demons seemed to understand what Lin Chen was talking about, but ten demon spirits stood up one after another.

Those who stood up later had to choose one of them to challenge, but no one did that.

They are still wondering.

These ten shadow demons are not all the ten strongest shadow demons. They are five four-star shadow demons, two three-star earth shadow demons, two four-star earth shadow demons, and one wind shadow demon spirit.

Lin Chen took off ten scales from his body, surrounded the aura, and distributed it to the ten shadow demons below.

"The rest of the shadow demons will choose their own groups. Each group will have no more than twenty shadow demons. Then they will hunt on their own. I will count them."

After saying that, Lin Chen turned around and left the cave.

In fact, he was a little panicked. He didn't know whether these shadow demons could roll up.

[Growth level: five-star fifth level]

Lin Chen's worries collapsed tonight.

According to the practice of the Shadow Demon Lord, Lin Chen absorbed a wave of shadow demon energy supplies as usual, but did not leave after that. Instead, he personally began to distribute the bodies of the Shadow Demon Lord according to the recorded contribution values.

The whole group of cold-blooded shadow demons became restless.

Lin Chen had never seen the shadow demon group so eager for the flesh and blood of high-level demon spirits.

Lin Chen recovered the remaining parts and placed them in the [Guiming] space.

After Lin Chen finished distributing the items, he reiterated the rules.

The shadow monsters seemed to understand, and roared out in large pieces.

Lin Chen was stunned on the spot.

In fact, he didn't understand what was going on, so he had no choice but to devour advanced materials to practice his skills.

By the way, I went to hunt down a sub-dragon of the [Commander] race.

[Growth Level: Five Stars and Sixth Level]

Lin Chen also followed the group of shadow demons, and with the large supply of materials, his growth level exceeded one level in seven days.

You know, if you want to upgrade your five-star level by one level, it becomes more difficult the higher you go.

If Lin Chen remembered correctly, tonight is the scheduled settlement week.

This night, we should summarize the team's contribution in the past week, give rewards and punishments, and then re-select the team leader.

So tonight Lin Chen plans to kill Bo Dalong as a punishment.

According to the rules, Lin Chen sent out the shadow demon team with the lowest contribution points and asked them to lure out the giant dragon.

Lin Chen was afraid that there would be too many meaningless casualties, so the moment he was provoked, he rushed forward to fight the giant dragon.

Recalling the battle with the Earth Shadow Demon Lord, the giant dragon seemed to have used a self-destruction-like skill to severely injure the Earth Shadow Demon Lord.

Otherwise, Lin Chen would have no chance.

But now the role's position has been changed. Lin Chen is a hunter, so be careful with self-destructive skills.

So Lin Chen gave up on close combat and used skills such as [Flying Sandstorm], [Mountain Splitting Technique], and [Sharp Stone] to kite.

Gradually, he wore his opponent to death and returned home victorious.

Since the last team leader died on the way to attract monsters, Lin Chen only recovered nine scales and prepared to run for the next captain.

At this moment, Lin Chen finally knew what made Shadow Demon crazy.

Is it strength?

No, it is power brought by strength.

The battle for captains was unprecedentedly fierce, with only three captains retaining their positions.

If Lin Chen hadn't banned killing, none of these captains would have survived.

Afterwards, Lin Chen injected new blood. The previously one-star demons successfully reached two stars within seven days and could be incorporated into the group.

A large number of new demon spirits were born, and everything was flourishing.
