Chapter 12: Re-Town
"Okay, then I'll use it, and everyone will welcome the newcomer later."
Just now, Ivy took advantage of everyone's time to eat barbecue and briefly described to them the fact that the village was about to be upgraded to a town, although the villagers didn't understand it very well, but Ivy simplified the meaning and they understood.
To put it simply, for them, if more people come to our village, the safety range of our village will increase in the future, but the surrounding beasts will become more dangerous, and the village will not be absolutely safe in the future, there may be wild beasts attacking the village and so on.
Ivy told the villagers about this to see the opinions of the villagers, in fact, it is not very necessary for Ivy to use the town promotion order, and it may not be a good thing at such an early stage, so I want to see the will of the masses.
But apparently, the villagers are not assertive, and Ivy's wishes are their opinions.
Except for Ji Eun.
So, when everyone chose to follow Ivy's instructions, Ji En naturally put forward a suggestion that was beneficial to him, and when everyone had no opinion, Ji En's suggestion became the only option.
After that, it was natural to start using the promotion order according to the original plan.
Ji En thought this little girl was very interesting, and the recruiter had to carry out the whole welcome ceremony, which Ji En had never heard of in his previous life, but he didn't reject it.
In this life, it is estimated that all NPCs may be real people.
What would a real-life world full of players, especially if they were born at the top of the absolute pyramid and couldn't be killed or overthrown?
It's a bit chilling to think about.
.....
Two groups of humanoid white light appeared, and the moment they reached the center of the village, the white light dissipated, revealing a man and a woman.
A woman who looks a little older, and a man who looks about the same age as Ji Eun.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome." Ivy took the lead in shouting, and the villagers behind followed in an untidy welcome, but the smile on her face could feel their enthusiasm.
However, the two newcomers seemed to be a little flattered, and hurriedly knelt on the ground at a loss.
"Meet the Lord!"
In the face of the frequent sudden kneeling, Ivy may also have become resistant, without the nervousness at the beginning, but gently helped the two newcomers up, and said.
"Don't be so restrained, and you can bow in the future, everyone is like this now."
Instead of bowing, Ivy still asked the villagers to learn from Chi Eun, just bow.
When the two newcomers heard the lord's order, although they had some doubts in their hearts as to why they couldn't bow down, they still followed the lord's order unconditionally, just like the old villagers, without asking the reason.
After using up the two recruitment slots for today, and welcoming the new villagers to let them eat roast snake meat together, Ivy also began to prepare for the official use of the town promotion order.
Regarding the name of the town, Ivy rarely did not seek the opinions of the villagers, but directly told the villagers the name of the town she was going to take, maybe because she had seen that the villagers would only listen to her, or it could be because Ivy really didn't want to change it, so she kept a little selfishness for herself.
[Congratulations to player {lvy}'s village for successfully upgrading to a town and renaming it {re-town}]
The appearance of a server-wide notification caused a storm in the player forums, but compared to the outrageous thing like the last time ordinary villagers killed king-level bosses, players reacted very much but were not surprised, after all, this reward had already been notified on the whole server.
Ivy didn't check the player forums this time, but focused on the changes in her territory.
【Territory Upgrade】
[Please select the terrain in the direction of the town you want to expand on the map, stretch it arbitrarily in the total area of 80,000 square meters, and the expansion will be officially upgraded to a town after scanning the criteria for territorial expansion]
Ivy looked at the clear map and began to think.
"There are a lot of monster spawn points to the north and west, and if you expand in these two directions, you can better hunt monsters... No, no, no, if you get close to the monster, the villagers will be very dangerous, and the monster after the promotion of the town is even more difficult to deal with. ”
"If you go east, there are rivers and plains, the terrain is stable, there is a water source and there is no need for people to go out to fetch water, you can fetch water directly in the territory, so that the villagers have fewer chances of encountering monsters, and it is safer."
"However, to the south, there are many trees in the mountains behind the village, and in the future, the town will definitely have to cut down trees wherever they are needed, and there will definitely be more hidden monsters in the forest than in the plains, and the time required to cut them down is much slower than fetching water."
Ivy looked at the areas on the map, focusing on the safety of her own territory and supplemented by the development of the territory, and began to analyze how to plan and stretch the territory security area.
"Although there is a river plain in the east, the area is not large, and further to the east, it is also a deep mountain like the south back mountain, in this case, then stretch a piece slightly to the east, cover the river, and then stretch it to the ground in the main south direction."
As a result, under Ivy's stretching, a right-angled triangle with the village as a right-angled point appeared on the map.
"Sure."
After careful consideration, after repeatedly observing the right triangle, and after confirming that it was correct, Ivy finally confirmed it, but there was still a problem.
【Scanning】
[Sorry, there are special areas in the terrain you have selected, and it cannot be directly your exclusive territory]
After the system was scanned, a small yellow dot appeared in the right triangle she had selected.
"Eh, this location is so tricky, the system, will there be danger in special areas?"
[Tips: Special areas cannot be directly entered]
"Can't get in? That shouldn't be dangerous, forget it, I'll ask Ji En, if he's an internal staff, he should know, right? Ivy was a little uneasy in the face of the system of asking questions and answering horses, and thought to herself.
"Ji Eun, do you know what the special area is?" Ivy asked, sitting down next to Chi Eun.
"Huh? Is there a special area around here? Ji En, who was still eating barbecue, heard Ivy ask this question and immediately realized the key.
"That's right, the system scans it when you stretch the territory." Ivy said honestly.
"Your luck... Forget it, the hidden special area is generally a hidden dungeon, I suggest that you can stretch the territory to enclose this special area, then this special territory is equivalent to your private dungeon. ”
"That..."
"Don't worry, there won't be danger, if you don't have an item that corresponds to opening this copy or a skill that can break the ban, you can't enter if you want to."
Hearing Chi En's affirmation, Ivy was relieved, but her heart had already confirmed the identity of Chi En's internal staff.
【Scanning】
[Meet the requirements of territory expansion and start the official upgrade]
Suddenly, when the territory was upgraded, Ji En's feeling of suffocation hit, and the speed of the territory upgrade was extremely fast, it could be said that it was completed in the blink of an eye, and after the territory was upgraded, Ji En's suffocation disappeared again.
Is this suffocation in the blink of an eye his mistake?
