Chapter 183: Resident Function, NPC Hiring (2nd Update)
As the system prompt fell, Yu Xiaofan found that on the archway erected in the central square of the town, there were already three big characters of [Xiaoxiao Town] flying and phoenix dancing.
At the same time, on the large map of Jiuling Snow Mountain, [Xiaoxiao Town] is also clearly marked, which also means that as long as the majority of players arrive here, they can easily discover the existence of Xiaoxiao Town.
And what makes Yu Xiaofan and the five people most happy is that there is a special description of Xiaoxiao Town on the map - [Xiaoxiao Wargroup Station], so that every player can know that Xiaoxiao Town is a private territory exclusive to Xiaoxiao Warband.
Being able to have their own territory in such a real game world is something that Yu Xiaofan and the five people never thought of, but now it has been achieved through the efforts of the five people, which is full of a sense of accomplishment for them, and at the same time, they have a greater sense of belonging to this game.
Yu Xiaofanxin said that I am afraid this is also the cleverness of the game designer, only by giving players a sense of belonging, can they unremittingly treat the legend as a second real world for a long time.
Since Xiaoxiao Town is a territory belonging to the Xiaoxiao Warband, it seems that Yu Xiaofan must have a management system that belongs to the player.
Sure enough, when Yu Xiaofan opened the clan management interface, he found that there was an option to manage the clan's station.
By the way, the wargroup also has the basic information of the warband, and the basic situation of the Shinoxiao wargroup is like this.
【Shino Warband】
Warband honors: 500
Leader of the Battle Group: Xiaoxiao Xiaofan (Level 30 Taoist)
First Team: Shinoxiao Team
Captain: Xiaoxiao Xiaofan (Level 30 Taoist)
Members: Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiu (Level 30 Spirit Master), Xiaoxiao Xiaoxia (Level 30 Swordsman), Xiaoxiao Xiaolin (Level 30 Assassin), Xiaoxiao Xiaofang (Level 30 War Witch)
Team 2: Not yet, waiting to join.
Team Three: Not yet, waiting to join.
Team 4: Not yet, waiting to join.
Team Five: Not yet, waiting to join.
Clan's tacit understanding: The warband is not yet full, and will be tested after it is full.
Warband Experience Bonus: Not yet, wait for the Warband Tacit Degree to open.
Warband Formation: Not yet, waiting to be learned.
Warband Combo Skill: Not yet, waiting to be learned.
……
Seeing this information, Yu Xiaofan keenly sensed that the battle group was also extremely beneficial to the growth of each member, especially the battle group formation and combination skills, if it was opened, then the strength of each member would be improved instantly.
Of course, there are not even five teams now, so it's too early to think about the clan formation and combination skills.
The most important thing now is to run the station, because Yu Xiaofan saw that although the entire station looked very comfortable, except for the five people, there was no one else, not even an NPC, and it looked deserted and unpopular.
Especially those shops, without the management of NPCs, are completely like decorations and cannot be functional.
If you want to run a good station, the first thing is to understand the various functions of station operation management.
When Yu Xiaofan opened the Warband Residency Management, he found that there were many options on it, such as Garrison Upgrade, Garrison Defense, Garrison Formation, Garrison Public Property Management, Resident NPC Employment, Resident NPC Management, Warband Home Authority Management, Small Household Sales, and so on.
[Residency Upgrade]: Each Residency can be upgraded to a higher-level Garrison after reaching a certain size.
Yu Xiaofan and the five of them have just gotten stationed, so of course this aspect can be directly skipped and ignored.
[Garrison Defense]: When the garrison is under siege by monsters, you can turn on the garrison defense mode. The defense mode is divided into Yellow Rank, Xuan Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Holy Rank, and Immortal Rank.
Yu Xiaofan took a look at it and found that opening the garrison defense was definitely a money-burning thing.
For example, after the Yellow Tier Defense is activated, it will cost 100 Silver Coins per hour, which is equivalent to 200 pieces per hour, while the Xuan Tier Defense will require 500 Silver Coins per hour, and as for the Immortal Rank, it will cost 1 million Silver Coins per hour.
The higher the defense level, the more money the player will have to pay, which is actually very reasonable, but the price seems to be a bit high.
After Yu Xiaofan glanced at it slightly, he continued to look down.
[Garrison Formation]: The garrison can be arranged with various formations to strengthen the security of the garrison, and the default formation at the town level is [Nine Palace Bagua Array].
Yu Xiaofan took a look at this formation and found that this formation can increase the physical defense of all resident members by 100 points, spiritual defense by 100 points, physical attack by 200 points, and spiritual attack by 200 points.
Of course, to open this formation, spiritual power needs to be consumed, and the only one that provides spiritual power is [Spirit Stone].
[Spirit Stone]: It is divided into Yellow Rank, Xuan Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank, which can be used as an energy source to stimulate various formations, and can also allow players to increase their cultivation value.
Yu Xiaofan didn't even know what the spirit stone looked like now, so he couldn't open the formation to try the effect, so he could only skip it for the time being.
[Resident Public Property Management]: The resident has a special fund account and warehouse to keep money and property, and the resident member can increase the resident property through donations, and for each donation of a certain amount of money and goods, the member will get the corresponding resident contribution.
Yu Xiaofan thinks this is very good, and there is a clear distinction between public and private.
The main items are coins and spirit stones, but they can also be equipment items.
The purpose of the funds is also explained above.
Funds can be used to hire NPCs, open Garrison Defenses, etc., Spirit Stones can be used to open Garrison Formations, and equipment items can be used to reward players with high Residency contributions.
Now that the station has just been established, the funds in the public fund account are 0, and the spirit stones are also 0, so there are naturally no equipment items.
As the head of the regiment, as the owner and manager of the station, Yu Xiaofan felt that he had to lead by example, and now he had made a huge amount of silver coins by opening a tavern, so he did not hesitate to donate 100,000 silver coins.
System Prompt: You donate 100,000 credits to the Residency and receive 100,000 Residency Contribution Points.
It can be seen that 1 silver coin = 1 resident contribution.
And the relationship between the spirit stone and the contribution of the station, without the spirit stone, Yu Xiaofan could not test it.
As for the equipment items, they themselves are used to reward the members of the station, and now there are no other people in the station, so it is of little significance to donate, so Yu Xiaofan did not donate and continued to look down.
[Resident NPC Employment]: The Resident needs to hire NPCs of various professions in order to function properly.
This is what Yu Xiaofan is most concerned about at the moment, after opening this option, he immediately found that there are various professional NPCs displayed and hired on it, such as resident guards, resident housekeepers, pharmacy owners, equipment shop owners, post station owners, storekeepers, alchemists, foundries, operators, collectors, appraisers, auctioneers, etc.
There are two types of NPC hiring: random arrangement by the system and self-invited.
The system is randomly arranged, this is simple, as long as the corresponding fee is paid, the system will automatically randomly arrange the corresponding NPC to serve in the station.
Invite yourself, this requires the player to have a very high charm value, and know a lot of NPCs and have a good relationship with them, it can be said that the difficulty is very large, Yu Xiaofan thinks that it is estimated that it is possible to invite Qing Tingyun and Fu Yunting, of course, Tao Fei and Tao Yan must also be able to, but the two of them don't seem to have any special skills.
In fact, in addition to hiring NPCs, it is also mentioned here that the residency can also invite life pro players to these positions.
Yu Xiaofan's first thought was Gongzi Mu Lan, as a business manager and auctioneer, he should be able to take on the duties of a resident housekeeper and an auction house.
Of course, there is no need to be too anxious about the housekeeper and auctioneer, the most important thing to solve now is the garrison guard, pharmacy, equipment store, storekeeper, and post manager, as long as these places are operated, then Shinoshio Town can become a place for players to transit and replenish.
