Meng Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the beast! ”

At this moment, the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind popped up one message after another, "Soul power +1!" +1 Soul Power! Soul Power +1......"

Meng Chen guessed in his heart, "Could this be the soul power of the villagers who died tragically?" ”

When the light curtain stopped popping up information, the total amount of soul power reached 836 points.

After deducting the original 101 points of soul power, in less than a quarter of an hour, Meng Chen's soul power increased by 735 points.

Although he had increased so many soul power points, Meng Chen did not have any joy in his heart.

"Hey~!"

Meng Chen sighed and walked towards the grain cave.

At this time, there were few of the nearly 500 bags of grain left in the grain cave, and only more than 40 bags were piled up in the corner.

After taking away more than 30 bags of grain, Meng Chen's food resources have reached full value.

The main goal was achieved, and Meng Chen quickly left the mine.

After counting the days, Meng Chen muttered, "There are still forty-two days left before the end of the Evil Moon Period. There are no more people living in the mines, so they have to find another place to live. ”

Two hours later, Meng Chen found a suitable location about three kilometers away from the mine.

Beneath a cliff, there is a large exposed rock face.

The thick rock formations can bring Meng Chen a sufficient sense of security.

The most important thing is that there is a spring here, which can solve Meng Chen's drinking water problem.

After consuming more than 20 gold coins, Meng Chen carved out a cave on the rock wall.

Oil lamps, pottery bowls, and straw mats were put on the table, and a temporary residence was basically completed.

In the following month or so, except for an occasional trip to Tieshi Village to collect resources and daily necessities, Meng Chen spent the rest of the time inspecting the surrounding geographical environment.

。。。。。。

At night, Meng Chen held an oil lamp and carefully pasted a piece of straw paper with lines on the stone wall of his temporary residence.

The lines on the papyrus paper were simple maps drawn by Meng Chen when he went out to explore during the day.

This small stone wall has been plastered with more than 20 simple maps, which is the result of Meng Chen for more than a month.

In the past month or so, Meng Chen took his temporary residence as the center, traveled around a radius of dozens of kilometers, and roughly mapped down the surrounding terrain and landforms.

As the Evil Moon Period came to an end, the most important thing for Meng Chen was to choose a location to build the city.

After going through all the maps again, Meng Chen picked out three alternative locations for the city.

The first alternative location is where the village of Iron Stone is located. It has a difficult terrain and abundant resources, and has great advantages in the early days of construction. Its disadvantage is that it is small in size, which is not conducive to the future development of the city.

The second alternative site is a slope to the south of the mine. The terrain is open, rich in timber and stone, and close to the mines, making it easy to mine metal ores. Its disadvantage is that it does not have an adequate source of water.

The third alternative site is located in a basin more than 20 kilometers southwest of the temporary residence. The basin is vast and rich in resources. Its flaw is that there are too many beasts, and it may be attacked by wild beasts in the early days of its construction.

After staring at the map and pondering for a long time, Meng Chen finally decided to set the location of the city in that basin, "As long as you are careful in the early stage, there should be no major problems." The resources here are abundant, and the advantages in the later stage are great! ”

。。。。。。

Three days later, at night, Meng Chen stood outside the cave.

Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Meng Chen secretly said in his heart: "The evil moon period is finally over, tomorrow ...... It's time to build a city! ”

Now, the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind shows:

Resources: 3086 gold coins, 845 soul power, 10000/10000 food (gray), 1000/1000 wood (gray), 1000/1000 stone (gray), 332/1000 metal (gray).

Early the next morning, Meng Chen packed his bags, left his temporary residence where he had lived for more than a month, and headed for a basin more than 20 kilometers away.

The Evil Moon Period has just ended, and the beast needs to continue to dormant for a while before it can fully return to normal.

Ordinary animals and wild beasts have left their hiding places, and the mountains and forests are gradually regaining life.

On the way to the basin, Meng Chen was targeted by hungry beasts several times.

If it weren't for the fact that in this more than a month, Meng Chen had already practiced his skills and skillfully collected and released stones, maybe he might really be planted halfway.

Two hours later, Meng Chen arrived safely at the northern mountain pass of the basin.

This basin is elliptical in shape as a whole, with a slightly higher terrain in the north and a lower terrain in the south, with a north-south long axis of about 30 kilometers and an east-west short axis of about 10 kilometers.

The total area of the basin should be about three or four hundred square kilometers.

The site chosen by Meng Chen to build the city is located in the northwest of the basin, no more than three kilometers from the northern mountain pass, and there is a clear small river nearby.

Looking around, Meng Chen nodded with satisfaction and muttered, "Close to the river, there is plenty of water." The surrounding area is lush with trees and there is no shortage of wood. It's close to the mountains and easy to quarry. It's a great place to build a city! ”

In the center of an open flat land with a radius of nearly 100 meters, Meng Chen communicated the order of building the city in his mind and issued an order - build a city!

An electronic synthesis sound sounded in Meng Chen's mind, "Ding Dong!" Are you sure to build your city in your current location? ”

"Sure!"

When Meng Chen confirmed the order, the order to build the city in his mind quickly disappeared.

At the same time, a message popped up in the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "Gold Coin -300, Wood (Gray) -300, Stone (Gray) -300, Metal (Gray) -30, start building the Town Hall (Level 1)!" After 24 hours, the construction was completed! ”

With a faint flash of white light, three hundred square meters of wood, three hundred square stones, and thirty tons of metal appeared in the open and flat land.

Under the action of the invisible force field, these woods, stones and metals began to automatically deform, levitate, and splic, gradually building the appearance of the town hall.

The construction of the town hall took a whole day, and Meng Chen couldn't have been by his side all the time.

Although the beast is still dormant during this time, there are many ordinary beasts around, and it is quite dangerous to spend the night in the wild.

So, Meng Chen dug a small cave in a rock wall in the north mountain pass as a temporary foothold for tonight.

Thinking that the city hall would be completed tomorrow, Meng Chen was excited and muttered, "What should I name the city?" ”

"City of Stars? …… Too vulgar! ”

"The City of Oxelil? …… It's too mouthful! ”

"The City of Iron? …… Too ordinary! ”

In the entanglement, Meng Chen gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Meng Chen woke up from his sleep early.

After breakfast, Meng Chen came to the location of the city hall.

At this time, the town hall had not yet been built, but the overall framework was quite complete.

The town hall is a cylindrical building with a diameter of about 30 meters and a height of about 20 meters. All the walls and columns are made of heavy stone, which looks like a strong fortress.

After waiting for nearly three hours, a message finally popped up in the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "The city hall (1st floor) has been built!" ”
