The Metaverse World
Establishment H4SEL
The Material Reserve Bureau then sold it to the public for 11 copper coins per unit. The price difference is for storage costs and sales costs, and not because they really want to take people's money.
The mercenary group Up The Iron has sent the first wave of livelihood players to the Java region of Dwipa.
The 500 players and their families numbered 2,400. The Earth Wangun Union absorbed all of them and arranged for them to live in a residential area. He would give them the same advantages and status as ordinary guild members.
In this way, the Earth Wangun Union officially has 850 members. They are approaching the maximum limit of 1,000 members. This left Heru Cokro with no choice, so he could only speed up He Ayu Heryamin to raise the guild to the next rank. This increase will expand the maximum limit of members. At the same time, the Earth Wangun Union would slow down the absorption rate of its members. Instead, they would allow the mercenary group Up The Iron to deal with the new members.
The Wangun Bumi Union members are made up of talents in every industry. However, most of them were still medium-sized talents, even some basic talents. There was only a small number of those advanced talents.
Like the natives of The Metaverse World, players are assigned to workshops, shops, or mines according to their individual talents. Their wages and employment benefits will all be the same as that of the natives. Of course, the four main workshops in the eastern district were restricted from players until Heru Cokro determined their loyalty.
This way, the players can earn money. At the same time, they can improve their talent skills. Especially in a city like Jawa Dwipa, the region's special properties can help livelihood players easily penetrate their talents.
The achievement value of a player does not only take into account their assets. It also takes into account the achievements that a person has achieved in the field of his profession. As for the livelihood players, raising their skill level to god level rank was their ultimate goal. In the past life of Heru Cokro, no one in the territory of Indonesia has reached the final goal.
Since the policy changed, players were not allowed to go out for long periods of time. That said, there is almost no difference between the player and the natives in the game anymore.
Heru Cokro had no reason to treat them differently.
Moreover, compared to the natives, the players had worse discipline. Some players are still unable to adjust to their current character. They looked down on the natives, and they even fought with them. Otherwise, they will slack off work, and furthermore, the Business Division will receive complaints about them.
For things like this, Heru Cokro's approach is very strict. He has given full authority to the Prosecutor's Division in dealing with those guilty. If the blame was serious enough, they could be imprisoned mercilessly.
When players come to the region, they must follow the rules of the region. A ruler player had more than one way to give punishment, and the players could not even leave the territory. Even if one were to commit suicide, they would only be revived in the Reincarnation Hall of the region. Therefore, as long as Heru Cokro did not allow the players to leave, the players would be bound to the territory for life. They will live as inhabitants of Java Dwipa and die as ghosts of Java Dwipa.
There is one exception. If the territory of the ruling player is destroyed, the players can once again gain their freedom.
In addition, there are other changes taking place around the Java Dwipa region.
Under the advice of Grandpa Heryamin, they moved the advanced shipyard to the Port of Pantura. Heryamin's grandfather also officially served as Chief Shipyard Advisor.
According to Grandfather Heryamin's words, the valley was too narrow and shallow. It was not suitable for large-sized battleships, and geographical conditions did not allow them to build large piers. Therefore, it would be better to move it to Pantura Port and solve the problem at once.
Not only that, Heru Cokro also instructed the Construction Division to upgrade and update the Jawa Dwipa pier for expansion. From now onwards, trade between Java Dwipa and Pantura will grow.
During this half a month, Heru Cokro's most important action was to establish a mysterious research institute.
He set up a research institute in a military forbidden area in the eastern district.
Its members include shipmaster Grandpa Heryamin, metallurgist Grandpa Herman, dynamic expert Grandpa Herdis, mechanic Grandpa Hermawan, weapons expert Sabrang, blacksmith expert Empu Supo Mandrangi, and advanced alchemist Lambert. Overall, there are seven of them. Therefore, Heru Cokro named it H4SEL.
Needless to say, H4SEL's mission is to create and research technologies regarding ships, firearms, and artillery powered by steam engines.
There are many basic technologies involved, including materials, machine tools, fire powder, and more. A complex set of technologies is needed as a base before they can build a higher-tech pyramid.
In the next two to three years, it would be perfectly normal if there was no development. Heru Cokro hopes H4SEL can shine brightly during the mid to late period of the game.

The next day, Heru Cokro, Raden Said, and General Giri arrived at Pamong Lor Camp.
Military camp room, Heru Cokro sitting on the throne. He looked around and said solemnly, “Lately, nomadic tribes are like stagnant puddles, there are no ripples, and there are no waves. The disturbance caused by Operation Dawn had stopped, as it spread into thin air. Sajana and Akhsat, two cunning old foxes, are very impressive. They refrain from making reckless decisions. As a direct result, the number of our barongs is very insufficient. Until now, we can only complete Lembuswana Jawa Dwipa completely. If this continues, how can we still develop our cavalry?”
This situation also made Camp commander Pamong Lor, major of Lembuswana Java Dwipa, Wirama, dissatisfied, "Paduka, since ordinary trade is not successful, we can only solve this problem through war."
“I agree with General Wirama. However, the problem is how to make the right decision at the right time. Annihilating one or two small tribes like last time would not help the situation. Annihilating a medium-sized tribe is possible, but with our current military forces, we cannot guarantee that no fugitives escaped the net.”
Wirama smile. Then, he turned around and said, “Open, I have an idea.”
"Oh?" Heru Cokro. He knew that Wirama had long been stationed at Pamong Lor Camp, so Wirama's understanding of nomadic tribes would be better than Raden Said.
Looks like the general has already thought about Raden Said's concerns. Since he was speaking now, he should have been fully prepared.
