Chapter 2811
Cy told Woodrow all the troubles Village Pescado encountered.
However, he did not say why Lake Pescado suddenly ran out of fish, nor did he tell Woodrow that he saved a young
man in Lake Pescado.
He just told him Village Pescado would run out of food soon and if they could not find a way, thousands of people
would go hungry.
After listening to Cy's story, Woodrow did not answer immediately, but instead, fell into silence.
This was not something within his power.
There were thousands of people in Village Pescado, young and old, and they would need a huge amount of food
every day.
There were indeed many wealthy gentries in Village Pott who could help Village Pescado, but Woodrow was not
among them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Woodrow was living in an ordinary small village, he would probably be shocked by what Cy said.
However, Woodrow remained calm.
After all, he was living in a large village with nearly 300 thousand people.
Although it was called a village, it was actually equivalent to a small county on Earth.
On Planet Gorgon, any village with a population of less than 10 thousand people was called a small village.
Village Pescado was among them.
A medium-sized village would have a population of 10 thousand to 30 thousand people.
A large village would have a population of 30 thousand to 100 thousand people.
Finally, a super-large village would have a population of 100 thousand to 300 thousand people.
Village Pott, with a population of nearly 300 thousand was a super-large village.
The population needed to be considered a town must be more than 300 thousand and less than 500 thousand.
As for a city, the population must be at least half a million.
The number of people in a village represented the strength of the village.
The more people there were, the greater the strength would naturally be.
However, it was not absolute.
There were some villages with a small population but great strength as well.
Village Pott occupied the most abundant land resources within hundreds of kilometers.
In addition to sustaining the lives of the village, there were also many surpluses.
This also allowed the villagers of Village Pott to live a carefree life.
So, they would pay a certain amount of money to find young and capable people from the surrounding villages to
work forthem.
Several villages relid on Village Pott to survive.
Cy had the same idea.
However, the labor force required by Village Pott was now saturated, so it would not be easy for Village Pescado to
join.
"Cy, it's not that I don't want to help you. Since this involves the survival of thousands of people in Village Pescado,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit’s not a trivial matter. With my ability, I can only help you with at most one-tenth of the villagers. The rest is out of
my hands," Woodrow said with shame.
Helping 10% of the villagers in Village Pescado's problem was already his limit.
He would even need to ask someone for help with this.
Woodrow alone could not do this.
"Woody, Village Pescado is a whole and we cannot give up on anyone. Please help me think of a solution," Cy
begged.
"It's not that I don’t want to help you, it's just that my ability is limited. I have to find a few wealthy gentries in
Village Pott to help hundreds of people in your village survive," Woodrow said with a bitter smile.
"I understand, so I won't make it difficult for you. I just hope you can introduce me to your village chief. We can
obtain food and feed ourselves through labor. Other things aside, we’re very good at fishing and our efficiency will
not be worse than anyone else. Didn't you say that Village Pott has a huge lake? We can come in handy for that," Cy
said.
"Cy, you can't meet the village chief just because you want to. Even I can’t meet him, let alone introduce you to
him," Woodrow replied helplessly.
The village chief of Village Pott was the person with the highest status, and he controlled everything in the village.
In short, he was the local tyrant of the village, and not everyone could meet him at will.
