Chapter 103 - 102 Infrastructure list (Please subscribe! )_1
Being an independent lord is not necessarily a dead end. In addition to external investment, Krypton Gold, support from elders, etc., there are also some money-making methods for the lord in the early stages.
For example, the lord can apply to assume the role of ‘Pioneer Territory’. Since newly promoted territories are located on the outermost edge of the Tai Xuan Alliance, this will attract many old players to come and explore the surrounding environment and earn gold. The Lord of Pioneer Territory can essentially earn money while lying down.
– Buy gold-making materials from old players at a low price (ordinary players find it difficult to transport large quantities of materials), sell supplies at a high price, run lodging businesses, etc.
If old players discover resources in the wilderness, the Lord of Pioneer Territory can obtain the priority right to own these resources after paying a reward.
The cooperation between the lord of the Pioneer Territory and the Ranger Players is a win-win situation.
There are drawbacks too, Pioneer Territory will inevitably mix some fish and dragons.
This is obviously not suitable for Tianyuan Territory, which Mu Yuan dismissed.
Besides, leasing the Lord’s Altar, Building for cultivation, and barracks, etc., is also not suitable for him. Once Tianyuan Territory grows stronger, with enough scale and stable order, he might consider opening it to players, but at the moment… it’s best to keep a low profile and grow quietly.
“After much thought, Tianyuan Territory seems to have to go down the path of ‘resource export-type’ territory.”
But unlike most resource territories, his Tianyuan Territory will not go down the low-end route… well, that’s not exactly right, ordinary products such as Jade Crystal Rice and RedBlood Fruit can also be produced, the more profits, the better.
With a ‘Gold Fertile Soil’ special building, even if he only plants ordinary crops, he can get far more returns than other lords.
But high-end soil naturally matches high-end crops.
Mu Yuan was pondering that he could transplant a few Snake Blood Fruit Trees from the distant Snake Man Tribe here, saving a considerable amount of growth time, and then plant another batch.
“There’s also Vitality Spring Water; the production of this special material is almost all profit. If I can get an Alchemy Hut and some potion formulas with Vitality Spring Water as the main ingredient, I can make even more money.”
Lord Shepherd pondered need while sitting at the desk in the Mage Tower, writing and drawing with his pen.
After a while,
he muttered and opened the territory interface.
A screen full of various information immediately appeared, which was completely different from the youthful version he had seen earlier.
“Tianyuan Territory”
“Level: Level 1 Territory”
“Faction: Tai Xuan Alliance”
“Buildings: omitted”
“Units: omitted”
“Civilians: None”
“Buildable Buildings: Watchtower, Residential Houses, Fence, Farmland, Guiding Landmark (3/3), Understanding Keystone (1/1)”
“Upgrade Conditions: ”
After the promotion to Level 1 Territory, the Lord can directly construct Miracle Buildings remotely, and can also consume resources such as Soul Sand to repair damaged Miracle Buildings.
Some buildings don’t even require Miracle Blueprints to be built directly.
The watchtower, residential houses, fences, and farmland, these four basic items, are the important reliance for the newly promoted lord to build the territory. Among them, the farmland is rich and contributes to the growth of crops.
It is precisely because of the Miracle Farmland, crops such as ‘Jade Crystal Rice’ and ‘Golden Wheat’ are easy to plant and have a high yield.
After the territory is upgraded, it can unlock ‘New Buildable Buildings’, such as Arrow Tower and Turret.
However, no matter how the territory is upgraded, only basic buildings can be provided. For high-level buildings of Rare Rank, the Lord still has to use gold coins to construct it.
The number of buildings that can be built is always limited.
The Lord cannot enjoy the joy of building at will.
Unless he can obtain the legendary ‘Unlimited Blueprints’, which can be directly integrated into the territory and have an unlimited number of constructions.
In the list of constructible buildings, there are two special buildings.
The Guiding Landmark and the Understanding Keystone.
The former has the function of attracting and absorbing displaced people, and only three can be built in a level one territory.
The latter allows the lost people from different regions, even possibly from various lost worlds, to communicate unhindered within the territory.
Over time, players, territory citizens, and awakened self-conscious troops could gradually learn the common language of the Eternal Continent.
Mu Yuan quickly built it.
“Hint: You consumed 1 Soul Crystal, Understanding Keystone is under construction ”
Rumble
In the south of the territory, fragments of rocks appeared out of thin air, inch by inch they came together, and in the blink of an eye formed a stele over three meters high, on which the faint shadow of universal text flickered.
“Tianyuan.”
Mu Yuan lightly pronounced in the universal tongue. He began to learn a little bit, finding that it was not hard, especially when he deeply gazed at the stele, he seemed to have the ability of photographic memory, and in a short while, he memorized dozens of words.
This Understanding Keystone is kind of magical-!
“Gurgle-!”
Duo Lai also came here, gazing with wide eyes, and started speaking word by word, “Soul Sand tastes good, the taste of steel bars is not bad, the flame tastes like roast chicken, lightning tastes a bit like mustard…”
Duo Lai is also learning fast.
The Dead Bone stood in front of the Understanding Keystone for about thirty seconds, it didn’t say anything and turned around to continue working.
With the construction of the Understanding Keystone, the issue of the displaced people was brought up.
“The displaced can be recruited.”
“Indeed, they do not have the loyalty of the troops, but most of them are solid and reliable people, because before they arrive in our territory, these displaced people have been wandering for a long time, and the Lord only needs to give a little sweet deal to turn into a heartless boss and squeeze them… cough cough, of course, this does not include a morally high lord like me.”
“Most importantly, once the refugees come and join the territory, they are marked with the identity of the territory’s citizens, and they will not and cannot easily go elsewhere.”
In his Tianyuan Territory, infrastructure construction, logging, farming, making handicrafts, etc., all these ordinary tasks need common people to do. Troops with initial wisdom are far inferior to ordinary people when doing these tasks.
He planned to demarcate a living area in the south of the territory to provide housing for civilians.
The core area and the barracks to the east and west, etc., are set as restricted areas, separated by fences and watchtowers.
That should do it.
However, he will only officially recruit refugees after these areas have been planned and partitioned.
Tai Xuan Alliance, capital city.
In a lofty tower, within a loft.
Smoke was curling up, an old man was holding a tobacco pipe, exhaling wisps of smoke. The smoke seemed to blend with the clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, making Ge Lao feel like he was in the midst of clouds.
Not far from the old man was a young-looking man, clad in an indigo gown, his abundant long hair casually draped down to his waist, his statuesque figure and upright posture resembled a sculpture.
The young man’s hands were resting on his knees, and his eyes were focused in front. It seemed that he was looking not at Capital Tai Xuan, but at Lanxing Profound Country.
“Out there, a small city disappeared overnight, most of it was destroyed by the Monster Tide, and a small part fell into the Eternal World.”
The old man was still holding his tobacco pipe, looking out of the window, he could vaguely see the national destiny of Profound Country swirling amongst the clouds, vast and elusive, but still just a grain of rice in the vast ocean that is the Eternal World.
He said:
“It is fate, at least, we cannot change it, what we can do is to try to ensure that when the merging happens, the Profound Country city falls within the range of the Tai Xuan Alliance, but there are still several vast wastelands within the alliance’s borders…”
After a pause, the old man looked at the young man in the gown, “Liushi, you will have to shake those territorial giants.”
“Where life dictates.”
“If persuasion doesn’t work, then we’ll have to eliminate them. Our Tai Xuan
Alliance…is not what it was twenty years ago..”
