After solving Alexia’s problem, Joshua immediately opened his status bar and checked his own attribute points.

Intelligence: Monstrous

Looking at the status bar, Joshua felt very embarrassed. He did not expect that his overall strength was actually so powerful.

Strength and mana were generally at 100 for an average adult.

The average population’s agility was only around 50.

Toughness was an individual’s endurance. An average person’s toughness was only 200.

At this time, Joshua’s individual attributes had already surpassed that of an average human. However, he wasn’t really considered strong either.

This was because Joshua’s personal guard was a valiant general who was proficient in both magic and martial arts. That meant his overall value was a couple of times higher than Joshua’s.

Until now, Joshua still did not understand why Georgi Fox had been sent to his side under his family’s orders.

A talent with such an ability was still just an ordinary citizen even in the Empire!

Shaking his head, Joshua opened his skill classification.

After studying it for a long time, Joshua realized that the talents he possessed in his skill classification could not be directly upgraded.

He had to actually train and improve himself continuously to upgrade them.

However, this was still much faster than the average person because no matter how he failed, as long as he did it, it would still be counted as experience points.

Once a specific skill reached its upper limit, you would then have to move on to the rest of the six categories.

And the only way to upgrade these skills was to use the system’s reward upgrade points. To obtain upgrade points, you had to constantly do the system’s missions!

This made Joshua feel very conflicted because it was a little tedious. Everything was tied directly to the system itself.

But what Joshua did not know was that without the system, he would never be able to progress far on his own. Even if he worked hard for his whole life, he would not be able to exceed the limits of his body!

Because his basic abilities were originally low, no matter how hard he worked, he would not be able to achieve much compared to others.

But now with the system’s bonus, he could use the system’s character attribute points to increase the upper limit of all his abilities. This way, he could easily become the strongest in the world!

After struggling for a while, Joshua immediately allocated his 50 skill points into a few categories.

Life, social, construction, exploration, and alchemy. All of these skills that were originally capped to level 10 could now be upgraded to level 20.

This allowed Joshua to upgrade his abilities to a higher level.

After completing this, Joshua’s brain felt a lot smarter than before.

However, after a while, he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After falling asleep, his body began to undergo drastic changes, as if the physical shackles of his body were being removed.

It was not until noon that Joshua woke up after smelling a burst of fragrance.

He opened his eyes, put on his clothes, and followed the fragrance to the kitchen. He found that Lena was cooking a very delicious piece of meat.

“What are you doing?”

Lena turned her head to look at Joshua and replied, “This is the meat of the demon ox recently captured by the patrol team!”

“A demon ox? The ones that grow up to five meters wide and three meters tall? How did they manage to capture one?”

“It was Georgi. He practically overpowered the beast. He knocked down the demon ox that was about to destroy the village with his bare hands!”

“Is that so? Wait! You said that this demon ox attacked the village. There were no casualties, right?”

“No, because Georgi happened to be there at that time, it didn’t have time to destroy anything before it was killed by him.”

Hearing this, Joshua immediately heaved a sigh of relief!

“It’s good that it’s fine! Now that the village has just been built, it would be difficult to handle if some lives were lost!”

After having lunch, Joshua went to the main street and found that many people in the village had already gotten used to their lives.

When people were hungry, they ate. When they needed to work, they would carry out their tasks diligently.

The only bad thing was that because there was nothing to do, the people in the village were basically quite relaxed.

This definitely wouldn’t work, so Joshua was ready to carry out the next step of his plan.

The current grain in the village was constantly in short supply, so he began to figure out how to concoct a farming and planting plan!

There was no lack of seeds for all kinds of vegetables and grains, so the only thing they needed was to develop their farmland!

Joshua went directly to the public office to look for Mortimer.

When he opened the door, the public office was mostly empty but Mortimer was still reading the documents in front of his desk.

When he sensed someone coming, he immediately raised his head. When he saw Joshua, he immediately stood up. “Young master! Long time no see!”

“Long time no see, Chief Mortimer!”

Mortimer immediately scratched his head when he heard Joshua call him by that title.

“Young master! Please don’t call me that. It’s very embarrassing! Although I’m the chief of this village’s public office, there are still many things that I can’t handle properly!”

Joshua immediately leaned over and patted his shoulder. “You’ve done very well so far! Everything has just begun. There’s no need to be in such a hurry!”

Mortimer was extremely gratified when he felt Joshua’s comfort.

He did not expect that the once promiscuous First Prince had grown to such an extent.

“I have something to tell you today!”

Then, Joshua told him about his plans to cultivate their farmland and raise livestock.

After hearing this, Mortimer immediately began to arrange the related matters.

“If you have any difficulties, just tell me immediately. I will think of a way!”

Hearing this, Mortimer nodded and buried his head in his work.

After leaving the public office, Joshua’s system issued a new mission.

[Congratulations host for completing the first phase of the mission! The system will now open the mission panel. Please select which mission you would like to complete!]

Upon hearing this, Joshua immediately became happy. At first, he thought that the system was forcing him to complete a mission.

Now, it seemed that the system was very human-like!

He opened the mission panel and saw a variety of missions that were categorized based on their skill sets: Municipal missions, Exploration missions, Gourmet missions, Life missions, Alchemy missions, City Construction missions, and Social missions.

Currently, there were a total of seven mission types. Other than the municipal missions, the rest of the missions rewarded proficiency points. Moreover, one could also obtain various blueprints, items, and platinum coins as rewards.

Looking at the mission list, Joshua began to think seriously.
