As soon as the world passes over, the sensation caused by black powder will gradually subside after a month of game days, only a few interested players are still in the tireless pursuit, most players' attention has long been turned to other places, the world is always so realistic, no matter how earth-shattering the event was, with the passage of time, it will always be slowly forgotten, leaving only a piece of anecdote in the mouth of an idler.

During this time, nothing particularly worth mentioning happened in Luliu Town, Wang Dafu has been quietly digesting the various achievements brought to him by upgrading the fifth-level township, and patiently developing and expanding his territory step by step.

When he learned that someone had developed black powder, Wang Dafu was greatly frustrated by his negligence, but in addition to being frustrated, he immediately took measures to make amends, and found Sun Sheng, the dragon of Zhuyun who had been cultivating in Luliu Town, as soon as possible, and asked him to help him try to refine gunpowder.

Although it has been announced that the black powder system has been opened, there are not many players who can immediately refine black powder, although it is not difficult to know the formula of black powder as long as it is a player, but even if you know that the formula wants to be successfully refined in the game, it is also a very difficult thing, first, the talent of the profession of "alchemist" is not easy to find, and there are even fewer people who can refine gunpowder, Gongsun Zhenren said that if you don't reach a certain temperature, there is basically no difference between refining and looking for death! Second, dealing with gunpowder is a very dangerous thing, and it is said that since the announcement appeared, countless players have been killed and injured by the explosion while trying to refine gunpowder - by the way, it is said that the Perception History himself died no less than 100 times in the process of experimenting...... I have to admit it. Nobel is by no means something that anyone can do if they want to, in view of this situation, Wang Dafu specially explained to Gongsun Sheng, about gunpowder, as long as you do your best, there is absolutely no requirement in time.

However, it seems that Wang Dafu has underestimated Gongsun Sheng's ability, and he is also a generation of grandmasters. Refining gunpowder, a task that might be quite technical to others, was really a rather untechnical task in his eyes...... In fact. A long, long time before the gunpowder was developed by comprehending history, Gongsun Sheng knew how to make this black thing, but Wang Dafu didn't ask him, so of course he couldn't take the initiative to run over and tell Wang Dafu, how can I do it......

So as soon as Wang Dafu told him what he meant, he casually took out a few large bags of "high-quality" black powder that had been refined in his spare time, and kept complaining to Wang Dafu that this thing was too much space. If you knew it, you wouldn't practice so much! As a result, Wang Dafu finally cheered up and was hit hard by his move, and almost didn't spray dozens of taels of blood again!

Anyway, in addition to this episode, it is a good thing that Green Willow Town can produce black powder by itself after all, but because only Gongsun Sheng refines it alone, although the quality is very good, the output is ......, but considering that Green Willow Town produces original firearms, I don't know how long it will take. Moreover, the power of primitive firearms is just ordinary, and Wang Dafu is relieved.

However, there is one thing that makes Wang Dafu feel a little strange, in order to make better use of these gunpowder, Wang Dafu specially sent someone to go to the place where the Liangshan hero thundered the sky and Lei Lingzhen lived in seclusion, hoping to ask him to go out of the mountain to help him, but the messenger sent by Luliu Town came to the destination and found it unexpectedly. Ling Zhen's hermitage, Lingyun Villa, had become a ruin, and the Thunder family was nowhere to be found.

After this news was transmitted back to Luliu Town, it immediately attracted the attention of Lin Chong, Zhu Wu and other old people in Liangshan, and immediately investigated the truth of the matter through various channels, but the result was a big disappointment, not only did the whereabouts of Ling Zhen's family not be found, but even no clues were found! But in the process of investigating, Green Willow Town discovered an unexpected intelligence, which turned out to be more than just thunder and thunder. There are also many people who live in seclusion in various places and have not officially appeared, and the heroes of Liangshan have disappeared one after another!

This information immediately attracted Wang Dafu's attention. He immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and by the way, he also got in touch with his allies. I asked them to help with the investigation, but no significant progress has been made in a short period of time.

Outside of Green Willow Town, the whole game has become calm during this time, I don't know if it is because of the influence of the appearance of black powder, the grand meeting of the kings of the Western Continent on the Northern Desert Plain ended silently, and the first head-to-head dialogue between the two great lords Caesar and Alexander ended silently, what did the monarchs do when they gathered together this time, and what agreement was reached became a huge secret, and later this grand event was jokingly called by the players - the Dinner of the Kings.

On the other hand, during this period of time, there have been lord-type players who have tried to attack city-level territories, but unfortunately they have all failed without exception, and they have all paid a heavy price for their impulsive recklessness, and the one with the smallest loss was severely extorted by those greedy officials sent by the imperial court, and as a result, the territory economy almost collapsed!

These bloody examples tell all players that don't underestimate the difficulty of leveling up your city-level territory! Don't underestimate the mastermind's **!

However, these pioneers have brought some good gifts to players in other places, and with the increasing number of "victims", many people began to publish their own upgrade assessment process on the forum, and as a result, the assessment conditions required to upgrade the city-level territory slowly spread - it can be seen that the "good people" like Wang Dafu are still a minority after all, and most people are still selfless and good people!

According to the information on the forum, if you want to apply for the "territorial upgrade assessment", first of all, your own territory must meet the normal upgrade standards, that is, the number of population, the number of new buildings, the number of affiliated villages, etc., and after reaching the normal township standards, you can apply to the relevant departments at the higher level, and the other party will arrange the assessment matters within seven working days.

The content of the assessment mainly includes the "hardware" and "software" of the territory, and the "hardware" aspect is mainly the existing functional buildings and affiliated villages in the territory. The first item to be examined in terms of "software" is the various "development indexes" of the territory.

When applying for the promotion assessment, the first thing to choose is the future city type of the territory, there are four types of military, economic, cultural and comprehensive, different types of assessment requirements are also different, correspondingly, each territory will appear after the application will appear three new attributes - military index, economic index, cultural index.

These three indices are composed of several other different sub-items, such as the military index includes the combat effectiveness of the territory army, the overall defense of the territory, the military achievements of the territory, and so on; Economic indices include agricultural productivity, handicraft productivity, business development rate, and so on; The Culture Index includes the Arts Index, the Technology Index, the Education Index, and so on.

To apply for a single type of city, the corresponding index of the type is required to reach more than 80, and the other two indices are required to reach more than 50, such as a territory to apply for a military city, the military index of the territory is required to be above 80, and the economic index and cultural index are required to be more than 50; If you apply for a comprehensive city, you need to have a minimum of 70 in all three indices.

From here, it is not difficult to feel that if the "Territory Upgrade Series Tasks" experienced by the "village-level" territory to upgrade the "township-level" territory were mainly to examine the lord's personal ability, then the "Territory Upgrade Assessment" to be experienced by the "township-level" territory upgrade to the "city-level" territory is more of a test of the development of the territory - it is not difficult to understand that anyone who can develop his territory into a fifth-level township, the lord's own ability is beyond doubt.

However, it is difficult to say which of the four types is more useful, and there has been a lot of debate on the forum, with one side arguing that the choice of integrated cities is conducive to sustainable development in the future; However, the other side believes that the so-called Bo is not as good as fine, and a "large and comprehensive" comprehensive city is not necessarily stronger than a "small and fine" single city, and how to choose should be considered is a matter of opinion; In addition, there is a point of view that as a game company, these settings related to the foundation of the game must be balanced as much as possible, so you can choose according to your preferences, there is no fixed model, these three remarks have different supporters, for a while the whole forum is boiling, far more lively than when gunpowder was born!

For Wang Dafu, because Greenwillow Town has not yet reached the normal township upgrade standard, it is natural that he can't consider applying for the "Territory Upgrade Assessment", so he is not deeply considering which model Luliu Town intends to choose in the future - because the gap is too big, Wang Dafu has basically given up the pursuit of the first upgraded city!

As mentioned earlier, the inspection of hardware measures and the investigation of the territory development index is the first level of the territory upgrade assessment, but it is a pity that all the player territories that have applied so far have been defeated in the first level, so that no one knows what is being examined after this item, which makes Wang Dafu quite depressed.

"Damn, these guys are in the water! You can't even pass the first level, what are you trying to do! Can you burn the money?" Wang Dafu knows very well that because it takes three months for the next application to fail in each assessment, it is some ignorant small territories that apply recklessly at the beginning, and the really powerful guys are still waiting, and when they feel that the time is ripe, they will set off a real upgrade**!

As he expected, when the seventeenth affiliated village of Greenwillow Town was established, "**" began......
