3. Select a site and build a village

After more than ten minutes, they came to a river.

It was a river more than 20 meters wide, the river level was gentle and clear, and you could see the fish and garnets underneath. Both sides are wastelands.

Zhan Xiaobai looked around, praised in his heart, and said, "To develop a village, water source is a must." It's flat and the land is open, making it ideal for farming. ”

This address was chosen by Jianba, and he also thought that the land here was open and very suitable as a village base.

Ah Fei said: "What about the defense of the village?" ”

Sword Ba was surprised, "There are wastelands everywhere here, at most some beasts, are there any enemies?" ”

Ah Fei hurriedly said: "Of course there is, don't look at the desolation here now." I often read forums where there are experts in the closed beta who say that once a village is built, there will be NPC hooligans, thieves, and rogues nearby. Coupled with the power of other players, defense is a must. Moreover, the early villages had no walls, and the defenses were weak, so they were easily breached. We had to find a natural defense base in order to develop production with peace of mind. Isn't it, big brother? Big brother has participated in the internal test and must have experience. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded. He has participated in the closed beta, and his experience is a little bit.

Jian Ba smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't thought about this clearly. I thought that this place was open, and it would be okay to build a big city, but I didn't think about defense. Let's re-chosen. ”

Zhan Xiaobai shook his head and said, "No need, just here." In the future, a large amount of land will be needed to cultivate fertile land, and the radius of more than ten miles here is all wasteland, which is suitable for a village. As for the issue of defense, it depends on the pace of our development. As long as we develop quickly and raise soldiers, we can completely occupy this land. Only we fight for the sake of others, and there is no need to be afraid of being attacked at all. Besides, we can't afford to waste too much time on carefully selecting addresses. That's it. ”

Zhan Xiaobai has already decided, and the others have no opinions.

Three miles away from the river, Zhan Xiaobai took out the "Small Village Construction Drawings" and unfolded it.

In an instant, the construction drawings of the village were immediately transformed into a small courtyard with an earthen structure - the village chief's administrative hall. From here, the village chief can perform village administration, taxes, recruit villagers, set up spawn points, and more. The village chief's administrative hall has the right of residence for 10 villagers.

Zhan Xiaobai and a few of them ran to the political hall excitedly, shouting excitedly, finally having a place to live, and officially bidding farewell to the history of wandering in the wild. The old village chief Li Asan burst into tears: "I've returned to the village, I've returned to the village again!" ”

The courtyard is flanked by housing, with a courtyard in the middle and a lobby on the inside.

In the lobby of the administrative hall, Zhan Xiaobai sat on the village chief's seat, smiling crookedly. The remaining five people sat in seats on either side.

System beauty Xiao Zhao: "Please decide on the name of the village!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai hurriedly restrained his smile and said, "Xiaobai Village! ”

"China system news: Player Xiaobai, establish the first village in the whole system - Xiaobai Village. Address: Xiliang. It is hereby announced to the world and given the title of 'the first village in the world' to Xiaobai Village. ”

Three seconds later.

"System news in China: The player is silent sword, and the second village of the system is established - Silent Village. Address: Central Plains. It is hereby announced to the world and given the title of 'Second Village in the World' to Silent Village. ”

A minute later.

"System news in China: Player Xiaoye, establish the third village of the system - Xiaoye Village. Address: Shuzhong. It is hereby announced to the world and given the title of 'the third village in the world' to Xiaoye Village. ”

“.....”

Sweat, Zhan Xiaobai was in a cold sweat. Xiaobai Village registered three seconds first, and almost became someone else's name as the first village in the world. Can't be happy too early, the world has a lot of talents, and it won't be long before he is the first village in the world to be destroyed. You have to have a sense of crisis.

Zhan Xiaobai hurriedly sat upright and asked the four of them to sit down as well-in fact, Ah Fei and Chunqiu Shaoxia were the most active. The sword lord has always been calm, and rarely shows exaggerated facial movements. Autumn water is also more shy.

"Our village has been officially established, but this is only the first step. We now have nothing but a small yard. How to develop our small village, what suggestions do you have? ”

When it comes to development, everyone is at a loss, and none of them have the experience of developing villages. How to get there, it's all unknown. Ah Fei suggested going to the forum to check the experience of the beta players. This suggestion was directly vetoed by Zhan Xiaobai. Because there is no experience in village building at all at the forum. A small number of veteran players with experience in building villages are reluctant to post experience posts.

Zhan Xiaobai observed them and said secretly: "It seems that they are all new, and you still have to rely on yourself." ”

Seeing that everyone couldn't speak, the NPC old village chief Li Asan said unhurriedly: "Lord, the old man has a suggestion." ”

Zhan Xiaobai hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”

Li Asan said: "The first priority is to recruit farmers and build residents' thatched huts. A resident hut can accommodate 10 peasants, and only a hut can attract peasants to come and live. The maximum number of residents in a small village is 100, so we only need to build 9 huts (the village chief's house can accommodate 10 people). The second priority was to build a fence and enclose a village several miles in size. Wild beasts are often infested around the village, and only a fence can stop them. Complete these two priorities first, and the rest can be postponed. ”

"Let's do it!"

Zhan Xiaobai stood up, he had experience in recruiting farmers during the internal test, and he knew how to do it. Coming to the center of the small courtyard, there was a large jade stone there. This piece of jade is the foundation of the village, and it is through jade that farmers can be recruited. If the jade is destroyed, the village will be ruined.

Zhan Xiaobai first entered the names of himself, Jianba, Ah Fei, Spring and Autumn Shaoxia, Qiushui, and Li Asan into the jade, and he was the village head, and Li Asan was the administrative deputy village head (only Li Asan could hold this deputy position, and the others could not hold it because of their lack of prestige), and the rest became the official villagers of Xiaobai Village.

In this way, the quota of 6 villagers was occupied, and now 4 farmers can be recruited.

Zhan Xiaobai then used the permission to recruit farmers.

The six people stayed around the jade stone for a while, waiting, but unfortunately none of the peasants came out.

Zhan Xiaobai touched his nose, is the recruitment procedure wrong? That's how it should be. Could it be that the program has been modified after the public beta?

Li Asan coughed and said, "I'm afraid it will take a little time to recruit farmers, lord, I think we should work first." ”

Zhan Xiaobai thought about it, didn't wait any longer, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted loudly: "Start work!" Qiushui, you help Lao Li to rest in the lobby and treat him with medicine. The rest of the people went with me to cut down the fence and build a village around the land! ”

"Okay!" "Let's go, cut down the fence!" "It's a revolution in full swing, and it's not wrong to get rich and pick up girls!"

A group of people rushed out of the courtyard, cut thorn branches in the wilderness, and built a low fence around the village chief's administrative hall. The area required for the village is not large, only about 20 hectares in total (1 hectare = 15 acres = 10,000 square meters).

Half of them are used for NPC farmers to farm, and the rest is used to build houses, trade markets, etc. The village doesn't need much land.

Although it was not very difficult, the work still exhausted the four of them half to death.

While working, the sword master became the leader of the fence building: "Here, here...... No, Ah Fei, your fence there should be straight and neat, don't be crooked! Otherwise, the fence built is crooked and not good-looking. ”

Ah Fei looked at it again and again, and said in a daze: "It's not crooked, it's very straight." ”

There is a big gap between his concept of "straight-decimeter accuracy" and Jianba's concept of "straight-centimeter accuracy", and the two have a dispute.

Zhan Xiaobai ran over to take a closer look, and the fence built by Ah Fei was really crooked, and it couldn't catch up with the sword tyrant. Surprised and asked, "Sword Ba, your visual inspection is very accurate, what are you doing?" ”

Jian Ba laughed: "I graduated from construction engineering, and now I am a real estate contractor, and I often supervise construction sites. Building a fence is a trivial matter. ”

"Damn, rich man!"

"I see, how can I come to play online games?"

"My greatest wish in life is to build a castle, but unfortunately I don't have the money. I happened to see the promotion of the Shengshi online game "The Rise of the Three Kingdoms", and my heart moved, so I came to the game to fulfill my wish. I didn't expect it to be an opportunity. Xiaobai, when building a big city in the future, you must let me plan and supervise the construction to ensure that the most glorious city is built. ”

"Okay!"

Zhan Xiaobai promised that he could use an architect with real-world experience, and of course he would not miss this kind of cost-effective deal.

The four of them worked until dark, and finally built a fence and surrounded the village chief's hall in the middle of the village.

Fence: Protects against attacks from beasts below level 5. 5 meters is 1 section. Durability 100. It needs to be repaired frequently, otherwise it is easy to be damaged and slipped into the village by wild beasts.

The rest of the work is to build four free and open wooden gates in the four directions of the village. But this work can only be done tomorrow, it is too late. Jianba and Qiushui have been offline. Zhan Xiaobai, Ah Fei, and Spring and Autumn Shaoxia are all idlers, people who soak in the virtual world all day long, they are not in a hurry to go offline, but gather in the administrative hall, planning together for future development.

"Lord, lord!"

Li Asan leaned on crutches and ran into the lobby screaming.

Zhan Xiaobai said strangely: "What is it?" So panicked? ”

Li Asan hurriedly said: "Peasants, peasants have appeared!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai suddenly jumped up from his seat like an electric shock, surprised. The dear peasant uncle, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived.
