Chapter 284: Real-Time Strategy Game?
After a while of research, Lin Chen already understood what was going on, this crystal ball was a simulator given by the Supreme Tower to all the players participating in the trial, and obtained resources to exchange them for various buildings or subordinate troops from here.
Just like the main base in the game, you can only exchange for the most basic simple things such as peasant tents at the beginning, and then unlock simulator permissions through the development of plundered resources to exchange for slightly more advanced buildings and subordinate troops, so it can be said that the more resources you plunder, the stronger your strength will be.
Have a certain amount of basic resources at the beginning, exchange buildings or summon your subordinates to explore the map through basic resources, establish a base, and then develop slowly, this Lin Chen is very familiar, but familiarity is one thing, but it's not easy to really operate, because the game is a game after all, it's a big deal to fail, and failure here is out, the most important thing is that there is a burden to him, he is still an ordinary person, he can't come casually like in the game, at least he can't wave casually before he has a certain strength.
There is a third interface on the light curtain, where each trialist can choose a basic skill of any power system, such as the basic swordsmanship of the knight's profession, the basic meditation of the mage, the basic meditation of the wizard, the basic internal strength of the martial arts, etc., only when the basic skills are practiced to a certain point, can they consume resources to unlock the authority to get more ability exchange.
Lin Chen thought about it for a while, and chose a mage's basic meditation, and this time he wanted to take the mage route in order to facilitate the cooperation with the construction science.
He still has a bunch of intermediate-level disciplines hanging on the attribute panel now, this thing belongs to knowledge, unlike the exercise projection that can't be shared, no matter how many projection avatars he divides, he can share these knowledge, and now these two hundred and forty-four disciplines have been strengthened to the intermediate level, and he can already try to make magic pattern constructions.
The skills granted by attribute abilities are very comprehensive and all-round, strengthened to the intermediate level, which means that this discipline has reached this level, and it has fully reached the standard to make magic pattern constructions, but now the difference is only magic and mental power, and of course, materials and proficiency.
This trial is a projection, which means that the level of strength will not be too high, even if it is not possible for a fourth-order legendary level powerhouse to appear at the end of the later stage, if you can make a magic pattern structure in the trial, it will not be very easy and simple to sweep the trial.
Moreover, his real body is still studying in the Supreme Academy, and when the time comes, he will definitely be able to strengthen all disciplines to the advanced level, and at that time, he will definitely be able to learn a more advanced structure, and it is possible to learn the second-level construction, which is already a construction that can be used by the fourth-order legendary level, and it can also allow the third-level to cross a large rank with a strength comparable to that of a legend.
Choosing to hold the basic meditation, a spiritual light flew out of the crystal ball and shot into Lin Chen's forehead, and a large amount of information about meditation instantly appeared in his mind, and in this moment he had already mastered how to meditate, as long as he was willing, he could immediately sit down and meditate to strengthen his spiritual power.
This crystal ball belongs to the props bound to Lin Chen, it cannot be damaged, it can be put away and released, and it can be carried with him, Lin Chen studied it for a while, and consumed fifty gold and fifty units of food in one breath to summon ten farmers.
There was a faint light on the crystal ball, and a humanoid silhouette on it slowly lit up, and when it was so bright that a white light flew out, quickly outlining a human figure in mid-air, falling to the ground, the light disappeared, and turned into a middle-aged man with a height of one meter eight holding a pitchfork.
One by one, the farmers were summoned, and the interval was about a minute, and ten farmers arrived in ten minutes, and Lin Chen felt a little more at ease.
Although the farmer's combat effectiveness is not good, after all, he is an adult man, and he still has a certain amount of combat effectiveness, even if the farmer is in the game, he will have basic combat effectiveness, at least the average beast can still deal with it.
The summoned farmers are random in height and appearance, but one thing is common, they are all men in the prime of life around thirty years old, the difference in height is not too big, undulating within ten centimeters, and the things in their hands are also random, just four of the ten farmers in front of them have straw forks, three dung forks, two with sickles, and one shovel, as if they were still working when they were forcibly summoned from other worlds.
But in reality, these are nest-like creatures, not real people, and the things in their hands are just random imitations of farmers.
Ten farmers in hand, Lin Chen had time to look around, this is a wasteland overgrown with weeds, very empty, there are not many trees, there are faint hills and hills in the distance, there is no water source for the time being, but believing that there is a water source, he ordered four of his men to investigate in all directions, and the order to them is to come back when they see a beast or a water source.
Waiting for his subordinates to leave, he checked the light curtain again, took a look inside, and found that the bottom layer of the second interface 'build', that is, the summoning character area, and then found that you can exchange various basic farm tools and seeds, but there is no place to exchange weapons and powerful weapons, it should be up to yourself to cast, of course, when the time comes, the recruited troops should bring their own simple weapons, otherwise it will be too difficult to mix.
After a while, a farmer came back first, and told him that he had found many goblins in the south, and a little later a farmer came to tell him that he had found a small river over there, but that there were crocodiles in it.
Lin Chen waited for a while, waited for the other two farmers to come back, and immediately set off east with a large army, he was going to set up a temporary base at the water source by the river.
Ten minutes later, a small river appeared in front of him, the river was about seven or eight meters wide, but the beach was twenty or thirty meters wide, the river water was clear, and he could clearly see the crocodiles and swimming fish lying motionless like wood on both sides of the river, and there was a not very dense forest not far from the opposite bank.
"This place is nice wow!"
Lin Chen fell in love with this place at a glance, and he didn't compare it everywhere, so he decided here directly, and chose a flat land for the first time to summon a bonfire to come out, and summoned two tents on the side of the bonfire, and two new buildings immediately appeared on the construction panel, which were wooden sentry towers and wooden fences, no gold as long as wood could be built, he immediately built a sentry tower next to the camp, and then used a wooden fence to enclose the bonfire as the center, leaving only one door.
The guard tower is simply built of wood, about five meters, less than two stories high, there is a ladder for going up and down, the fence is tight, about two meters high, can prevent ordinary beasts.
At this point, a simple base has been established, and most of Lin Chen's basic resources have been used, so it's time to develop.
That's all there is to the basic building.,Barracks or something is all gray.,If you want to build, you have to unlock the core level first.,Now it's level zero.,You have to collect two hundred units of food.,Two hundred units of wood.,Plus a hundred gold to unlock.。
Food and wood are good to collect, the key is the gold, there is no gold mine, you must exchange the excess resources to the crystal ball into gold, different resources exchange prices are different, the rarer the resources, the more valuable, for example, the value of wood food is definitely not as good as stone and iron.
At this time, it was morning, Lin Chen asked the three farmers to follow the north and south directions of the river, and the west when they came, that is, the other side of the river was left alone for the time being, and he took seven farmers to the river, directing them to try to hunt crocodiles, that is, to clear the surrounding threats, but also to obtain resources.
Crocodile skin can be used to make leather armor, teeth can be made into arrowheads, and meat can be eaten.
If it is his real body, of course, such a thing is not eye-catching, but now he starts with an ordinary person, and he has not brought the slightest bit of the power of the ordinary true god with the ability to suppress the ordinary true god, and it is clear that this thing is also a resource.
Fortunately, these crocodiles are not very large, so it is easy to prepare them on the river beach and then lure them ashore.
The crocodile is much clumsier on the shore than in the water, seven farmers turned it over together, and was poked to death with a dung fork, Lin Chen has been watching, now he is just an ordinary person, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he does not dare to step forward.
The corpse is settled, let the farmer with the sickle and shovel cut it open, and then put it into the space that comes with the crystal core, the crocodile skin and teeth are placed separately, and the meat is directly exchanged for food, a crocodile meat three or four meters long is about equivalent to twenty-two units of grain, it seems that one unit should not be a kilogram, but another unit.
There were a lot of crocodiles in the river, and then three crocodiles were brought up one after another to kill them, and the remaining crocodiles may have felt bad and ran away, which made him a little regretful.
But this is only temporary, and after a day or two they will forget about it again, and if anyone is still around, they will be attracted again.
Throwing the crocodile residue into the river, washing the ground with water to wash away the bloody gas, so as not to attract other beasts, the other farmers who were scouting the surrounding area came back one after another, and only had to probe a few kilometers around as he instructed, not too far.
The three peasants brought different news, nothing was found in the west, but the enemy was found up and down the river, and there was a small lake about three kilometers south down the river, where some traces of the Grey Fish People were found, and about two kilometers up the river about two kilometers north there was a tribe of kobolds.
Lin Chen didn't spit out why the kobold tribe didn't mine in the mountains but lived by the lake, this assessment itself was the supreme existence arrangement of the two void domains, and it was possible no matter how unreasonable it was.
Both tribes are his enemies, both are potential threats, and at the same time, the early resources may be provided by these two tribes, especially gold, it is too difficult to exchange other resources alone, you must know that a full hundred units of food and wood can be exchanged for one gold, stone and iron can be exchanged for one gold, and it is only half of these to be purchased with gold, that is, five units and fifty units, which is simply .....
In the early stage, relying on resources to exchange for gold is definitely a pitfall, and it must be obtained from other aspects, these two tribes are both threats and resources.
The two farmers didn't dare to step forward too much, they only saw a part of the strength of the two tribes from a distance, the Gray Scale Fishman tribe was the strongest, and they knew water, and the village was also built in a silt river beach, it was inconvenient to deal with, Lin Chen decided to solve the relatively easy kobold tribe first.
Well, hopefully there won't be an extraordinary class of awakened dragonblood or warlock in the kobold tribe, otherwise it's going to be troublesome.
The plan is set for the time being, but it is not certain, before this, Lin Chen also sent the farmer to continue to explore to the west and across the river to the east, just like playing a strategy game, opening the map is the most critical, anyway, the similar nest creatures recruited are not real people, and they will die if they die.
Before that, Lin Chen did not skimp on resources, consumed another thirty units of gold and the same food, summoned six farmers out again, and there were still ten gold to spare, and if this temporary camp was gone, it would not be impossible to build a house.
He began to lead his men along the banks of the river in search of crocodiles or fishing, which was his only source of food for the time being, and had two of them summon farmers with axes to cross the river to cut down trees and collect wood.
Anyway, it doesn't take so many people to fish and kill crocodiles, any resources are needed in the early stage, if it weren't for the fact that there was no stone nearby, he wanted people to dig stones....
Well, this is impossible, it is impossible to spend this effort in the early stage, and there should be no need for stone in the early stage.
At the end of the day, Lin Chen led a group of farmers along both ends of the river, caught a total of seven crocodiles and some river fish, and harvested a total of 234 units of crocodile meat, 11 crocodile skins, 248 crocodile teeth, and 16 units of wood.
The main thing is that the place where the logging is a bit far away, there are not many farmers who cut wood, and the tools are not handy, and the trees are not big, and it is already good to be able to cut 16 units.
When he returned to the camp in the evening and lit a bonfire, he asked the peasants to build two simple tents and cover them with grass as temporary shelters, and a tent with hardware, but he was reluctant to build another one, anyway, they were all loyal summoned creatures, and there would be no loyalty seats and no opinions.
The next day, Lin Chen continued yesterday's career, but unfortunately there were a number of crocodiles in the river, and he killed a large number of them yesterday, and there were not many left, and he killed three heads in half a day, and he simply didn't go in the afternoon, staying at the gate of the camp and thinking about what to do next.
He doesn't know what other people are doing at the beginning, like this trial mode similar to a real-time strategy game, the beginning stage is very important, there is no time to waste, but there can't be too much loss, one wrong step, the advantages are all accumulated.
He thinks that his strength is enough, but the other trialists are not weak, together with 20,000 trialists, there are always some lucky starts, and they will soon be able to accumulate a lot of resources, if Lin Chen wants to win, he can't continue to hunt crocodiles, he has to do something big.
After thinking about it, he asked half of his men to continue to fish and cut trees, and he set off along the river with the other half of the peasants to the north, he wanted to personally investigate the situation of the kobold tribe to see if there was any possibility of defeat.
The river is winding, the beach is very soft, the foot can easily sink near the river, and the land on the side is very fertile, and the development is a piece of fertile fertile land, which is very good.
About a kilometer or more up the river, he saw the river turn a corner, rushing out of a large swamp-like mudflat, and a kobold was holding sharpened sticks in the mudflats, and he didn't know what he was looking for, eel or loach?
