Chapter 13: Taking Stock of the Harvest
If the village is successfully upgraded, it will symbolically reward 5 prestige points and a skill book, and there is no additional reward as expected, probably because it is only an upgrade between villages, and there is no regional announcement, which makes Liu Feng very disappointed.
Medium-sized villages, except for a somewhat larger territory, nothing else has changed. At its peak, Baijia Village's settlement was a large village, and although it declined later, the scope of the central residential area was still there, so there was no need to make a big move, but it would cost some money to turn the thin fence on the periphery of the village into a thick fence, but for Liu Feng, who had dozens of gold, this cost was not a problem.
The work of recruiting and surrendering continues, and since the bandits of Heifeng Village have been wiped out, this work has not stopped, because the big leader of Heifeng Village insists on not surrendering, and by the way, two more bandits follow the trend and do not surrender. It's been a few days since he came back, and Zhou Yi has been busy persuading him to surrender.
After arranging everything, it was finally time to take stock of the harvest. When he was in Heifeng Village, due to the rush of time, Liu Feng put things into his backpack and didn't have time to check them. Even the smallest and least popular cottage is not something that the player's village can defend against at this time, and the so-called secret room is the place where the system gives players rewards for completing super tasks in disguise.
In the village chief's room, Liu Feng took out the things he had harvested these days one by one. One piece of armor, three books, two drawings, and two chests.
Iron Armor: Defense +5, armor carefully crafted by an intermediate blacksmith greatly increases defense, and only good soldiers can equip it.
Skill Book of Arrows: After learning, you can obtain Skill Arrows. Learning Requirements: Bow and arrow proficient.
Encouragement Skills Book: Skills can be acquired after learning, learning requirements: none.
Lightning Strike Skill Book: After learning, you can learn the skill Lightning Strike, learning requirements: None.
The secret recipe for making ten mile incense: After use, you can obtain the brewing method of the famous wine ten mile. Requirements: Junior Winemaker.
Tavern construction blueprint: This can be used to build a tavern. Building conditions, with a territory, a junior architect, gold 100.
Big harvest, just these few things have already amazed Liu Feng. Equipment, skills, goods, buildings, everything, and there are two chests in the back that haven't been opened.
The box was really not big, Liu Feng could only secretly pray for the strength of the system god, and stretched out his excited and somewhat trembling hand to open the first box.
There was no imaginary glow, an ordinary small box, empty inside, and only one drawing inside.
"Drawings again?" Liu Feng was a little tired, "I hope I can give some good things, not that kind of flashy things." Thinking so, Liu Feng opened the drawing properties.
At a glance, Liu Feng's face changed like a storm, laughing for a while, gloomy for a while, and smiling bitterly for a while.
Things are good things, but for Liu Feng now, they are undoubtedly in the air, out of reach.
Treasure Map of the King of Nanyue: A map that records the location of the treasure of the King of Nanyue's life. (Because of the age and obscurity, it must be re-studied by the wise to find the treasure of the king of Nanyue according to the map.) )
Liu Feng didn't even know where he was now, and how to find the treasure of the King of Nanyue. These days, he asked the new villagers more than once what kind of place this is, but these people are almost copies of the people of Baijia Village, who have been active in their own villages all their lives. Only a few people know that there is a small town called Aoshan Town outside the mountain, and only Zhou Yi knows that there is a small city called Aoshan Town further away. As for the county to which it belongs, and who the shepherds are, they all know nothing, and no one has even heard of it.
Therefore, for the current Liu Feng, this treasure map is undoubtedly the moon in the well and the flower in the mirror. And according to its attributes, it is necessary for the wise to re-study, Liu Feng estimates that this is like the previous online games, the treasure map is an unidentified item, and it needs to be identified before it can be used. For the same item, he also had a jade pendant that accidentally came along when he entered the game. But now that Liu Feng is trapped in such a small valley, he doesn't know when he will be able to get out, let alone find those talents with special professions.
With a sigh of emotion, Liu Feng put away the treasure map, and then opened another box.
Nine times out of ten, Liu Feng, who didn't have much hope, was dazzled by Jingguang, and a box full of money made his eyes red.
A full hundred taels of gold, which is definitely a windfall. You must know that the currency commonly used in the game at this stage is copper coins and silver, and gold is a luxury.
There are three currencies in the game: gold, silver and copper, gold is gold, silver is silver, the weight is in "two" as the unit, copper is copper coin, in "Wen" as the unit, the ratio is 1:100, 1 tael of gold = 100 taels of silver = 10000 Wen, that is, it is commonly said that 1 gold = 100 silver = 10000 copper.
There is no currency exchange system yet, and players are short of food and clothing. Even Liu Feng, these days, plus the property inherent in Baijia Village and the confiscated bandits, only has less than 30 taels of gold. And the money hidden in this secret room turned out to be a hundred taels of gold, and Liu Feng suddenly felt that he was "wide".
But he suddenly became anxious, for he found that no matter how much money he had, there seemed to be no place to spend it except to pay the people who worked in the village and to build some buildings.
That's the bad thing about closure.
Baijia Village belongs to the area that has just been lifted, and the outcasts do not know the specific location, and the only nearest town is outside Aoshan, but now it is blocked by bandits, cutting off the way. If Baijia Village wants to develop, it must contact the outside world, that is to say, if Liu Feng wants to develop and grow, become a real lord, and compete with players, the first thing to do is to eliminate the six small cottages on Ao Mountain.
But there is still a long way to go. Liu Feng knows that even if it is a small cottage, there are strong and weak points. Like the Black Wind Village that was exterminated before, it did not enter the stream at all in the small cottage, Liu Feng knew through the captives that the strongest cottage on Ao Mountain, Ao Shan Village, has almost 500 people, and it may be upgraded to a medium-sized cottage at any time. And such cottages, in addition to those miscellaneous soldiers, can fight, saying three hundred is less, four hundred or even more is possible.
Looking at Liu Feng's Baijia Village, there are only 50 people in the small village, and now it is only 200 people in the intermediate village, and even if all the people are soldiers, there are not as many soldiers as there are in the cottages. Even if it is upgraded to a large village in the future, it is said that the full population will only be 800 people, so how can it compete with it? Although it is said that unnaturalized people can stay in the village, after a long time, it will inevitably cause incidents, which will have an impact on the security and morale of the people in the village.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng's joy of exterminating the Black Wind Village vanished. He finally realized that he was still living in a crisis, and if he wanted to develop, he still had a long way to go.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Although there are still long-term hidden dangers, after all, it is calmer at present, and it is important to deal with the immediate matter first.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Feng learned inspiration and lightning strike by himself, these two skills, one is a strategic skill, which has a good effect on the army, and the other is a single attack skill.
Boost (Level 1): After using this skill, your morale will increase by 10% within a radius of 1 zhang of the target, and morale will no longer decrease for 10 minutes. Activation conditions: Consumes 10 stamina and 30 stamina.
Lightning Strike (Level 1): Summons a bolt of lightning to attack targets in line of sight, dealing massive damage. There is a very small chance of triggering the paralyzed state, which is when the target comes to a standstill for an indefinite duration. Conditions of use: Consume 5 stamina, 20 stamina.
It looks like it's working pretty well, but I don't know exactly what it does, so I'll have to experiment with it in battle. And the level is only 1, and I don't know how many levels there are, so I need to practice and explore diligently.
Putting the other things in the village chief's room, Liu Feng came out with the armor. The village chief's room can be regarded as a relatively safe and fixed warehouse for the player, and no one can force their way into the village without the village chief's permission until the village is destroyed. This is far safer than the separate warehouse in the village, where a few rare things Liu Feng had obtained had always been placed.
Liu Feng was going to find Zhou Yi, and he decided to reward Zhou Yi with this armor in recognition of his heroic performance in battle. But before he got to the place where the prisoners were held, he saw Zhou Yi greet him with a happy face.
"Could it be ......" Liu Feng thought of a possibility.
Sure enough, Zhou Yi roared as soon as he walked in, "Village chief, Zhang Kui's kid finally agreed to surrender, and also agreed to persuade those few little minions who did not surrender." "Zhang Kui is the leader of the captured Black Wind Village.
"Very well, you go and bring him to me, I have something happy to announce." Liu Feng said in high spirits.
