Chapter 24: Private Domain
After the official trading system opened, it was very lively, and players hung out all kinds of strange things here, but they were quickly emptied by the system. There were scattered skill scrolls and strange plant fruits left behind, Tang Yunfeng glanced at them, and felt that there was nothing particularly useful.
The gold coin exchange platform is not as hot as imagined, and the purchase information and sale information are even more temptations between the sky-high asking price and the landing repayment. The highest price for the buyer is 120 yuan/piece, and the lowest price for the seller is 200 yuan/piece.
In this case, it is destined to be difficult to reach a deal in a short time, so let the bullets fly for a while, anyway, there is no rush to use the money at this time. Tang Yunfeng decisively withdrew from the trading market and continued his real estate business.
On the fifth day of the service, Tang Yunfeng built a house, and he was destined to get nothing before the house was built. However, the gold coin has risen to nearly 3,000, which can be regarded as a comfort.
Tomorrow is the last day of the National Day holiday, and it is also the time to make an appointment with the 502 Friendship Dormitory of the International Trade Center. The restless hormones made it impossible for them to even play quietly in "The Vast Continent", Qin Xihe and Tang Yunfeng were exceptions, and the two of them entered the game on time.
Tang Yunfeng looked at the house that was still under the roof and could be completed, and continued to work hard. Finally, before noon, the house was officially completed, and it was a good luck. After the completion of the five brick houses that were taller than the Conscience Shop, the system's rewards did not appear, which made him a little frustrated. After all, it took almost two days from the preparation of brick materials to the completion of the building. In the past two days, as the player's skill proficiency has improved and the equipment has improved, they have gone out of the area around the camp, expanded the new map, and began to challenge more advanced monsters.
The house has been built, and it can't be demolished without a reward, so it's good to get an atmospheric yard and enjoy it yourself, Tang Yunfeng can only comfort himself with this kind of rhetoric. Reinvigorate the spirits and begin to build the walls and gates, when the entire house is completed. The pleasant sound of the system sounded unexpectedly.
"You're the first to build a mansion, generate a new blueprint, gain +1 reputation, and get a share of the reward."
"The houses you build can help humans defend themselves against wild beasts, promote the progress of human civilization, gain +50 reputation, and reward a piece of private territory."
"Your construction skills have broken through to the Grandmaster level, and your reputation is +10."
"Your building technique has broken through to the Grandmaster level, and your reputation is +10."
Tang Yunfeng stood outside the gate of the house, watching the originally somewhat tacky red brick houses, fences and fence gates become antique blue brick houses, white walls and red lacquered gates under the slow correction of the system. The plaque on the top of the gate is left blank, waiting for him to name the inscription, and immediately wrote the word "Tang Mansion" in high spirits, and two large gilded characters appeared on the door plaque, looking at it.
Before he could check the other rewards, a conscientious businessman who had a hard time going out walked over.
"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord."
Tang Yunfeng looked at the fat shopkeeper, his thoughts immersed in joy had not yet fully returned, and he vaguely saw the words "money rolling" written on the top of the shopkeeper's head. He replied aloud:
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
The money shopkeeper didn't seem surprised that Tang Yunfeng knew his surname.
"My lord, this place has become your private domain. The trumpet operates here, so naturally I have to report it to you. ”
Tang Yunfeng came to his senses at this time, and this private territory is not just this house.
"Money shopkeeper, I am not clear about this matter, please give me more advice."
The fat man smiled and said:
"It's right to serve your lord. The camp includes a three-kilometer radius that has been designated as your private territory, and all output in this area is taxable to you. For example, the income of the trumpet should also be taxed to the lord, and the lord should also be asked to show the tax percentage."
After hearing this, Tang Yunfeng immediately felt that the two days of hard work were too worthwhile, a mansion in exchange for such a large area, this deal was simply not too cost-effective!
"Money shopkeeper, how much is your tax elsewhere?"
"It's currently ten taxes and one."
"Money shopkeeper, what good will it do if I reduce my taxes."
As soon as the fat man heard that he wanted to reduce taxes, he immediately came to his senses.
"If the lord reduces the tax, the trumpet will naturally return the favor and vigorously develop the business here when the conditions are ripe."
"Okay, how about a tentative twenty tax one?"
Tang Yunfeng, who studied economics, certainly knew that if he wanted to develop, he must first drive the business here. Now the whole camp is on its own, and there will definitely be no development in the short term, but you have to take a long-term view.
"The lord is lightly dismissive, and the trumpet naturally can't ask for it. But I would like to warn my lord that once this place is yours to protect the camp. Later you will be attacked by the Beast Tide, and you will need to keep your territory in the event of the Beast Tide in order to become the true master of the place. If this place is destroyed by the Beast Tide, your territory will be lost. ”
Oh my God, co-authoring is not for nothing! I just said, why is the system so generous? I'm waiting here.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, I will do my best to keep the camp safe and protect the territory."
Tang Yunfeng complained in his heart about the shamelessness of the system, and the important clues provided by the money-losing shopkeeper were estimated to be cold when the system prompted.
Complaining is complaining, scolding is scolding, even if you are alone, you have to work hard. After all, such a large piece of land, how can it be easily lost if it was hard to earn.
The time of the beast tide attack has not been announced, while there is time now, we have to hurry up and prepare, it seems that tomorrow's friendship will not be possible.
Thinking of this, he quit the game and left a message to his roommates in the group to explain the situation: there was an important task in the game, and he couldn't participate in the dormitory friendship, and asked Qin Xihe to explain it to his sister.
After returning to the game, he walked around the camp twice, looking at a flat open space that was not dangerous to defend, Tang Yunfeng was a little worried. In this open area, only the courtyard still has some defensive capabilities, and one person can't defend it at all.
He approached the money shopkeeper and asked for the details and time of the beast tide's attack on the territory. Sure enough, the fat man still has some information hidden. The scale and duration of the beast tide attack is determined by the size of the territory. In a private territory like Tang Yunfeng, the scale of the beast tide is not too large, and the types are limited to monsters within the territory, and the general duration is about thirty minutes to an hour.
There are two conditions for victory, either by killing all the monsters that attack the territory, or by ensuring that there are still players alive within the camp area after the beast tide has attacked.
After knowing the conditions for the victory of the mission, Tang Yunfeng's preparations had a goal and direction.
He first persuaded the fat man to move the conscience shop to his house and reduce the area of defense. Qian Fatzi happily agreed, anyway, there is only one patron of Tang Yunfeng in the camp, which is more convenient in his house. The house must be finished, and he moved the shelves to the house, and by the way, even the camp campfire was moved to the yard.
The construction technique and construction technique were upgraded to the grandmaster level in time, making it possible for Tang Yunfeng's defense plan to be used, otherwise the time was so short, no matter how good the idea was, it would not be realized.
In view of the terrain of the camp and the location of the house, Tang Yunfeng prepared three lines of defense. The first line of defense is a trap, a series of irregular trap pits, which do not seek to kill the enemy, but to injure the enemy and trap the enemy. There are many types of traps, and each trap pit is filled with large sharp bamboo skewers, and the bottom of the bamboo skewers is covered with a layer of hay.
Of course, that layer of hay is not afraid that animals will fall into the pit, and Tang Yunfeng is not one of those brain-dead people who can't distinguish between humans and animals. The hay at the bottom of the pit is prepared for the barbecue feast, and the hay on the pit is not only used to cover up the trap, but also the raw materials for the barbecue feast. In order to ensure that the heat of the barbecue feast was sufficient, Tang Yunfeng also dragged piles of branches, which increased the fire while also playing the role of retarding monsters. In addition to the trap pit, he also placed a lot of rope nooses with bamboo sticks around it to set up some obstacles for monsters that didn't fall into the trap pit.
The second line of defense is a circle of bamboo horse-repellent piles about ten meters away from the house. When Tang Yunfeng made the first section of the horse rejection pile, the system gave a reward.
"You're the first to make a horse rejection pile, generate a new blueprint, gain +1 reputation, and get a share of the reward."
This time the system can definitely be regarded as a relief in the snow, after the appearance of the horse rejection pile in the conscience shop, he became the first big customer, and spent a lot of money to buy a large number of drawings. In the case of construction, you don't need to prepare raw materials, you can directly buy drawings and generate them with skills, which is simple and convenient, but it costs a little money. At this time, Tang Yunfeng, in order to keep his territory, didn't care about gold coins at all. In one go, he set up two layers of horse rejection piles at 6 and 10 meters.
The last line of defense is this mansion, and there are still some bricks and tiles left that Tang Yunfeng has produced unremittingly. He had intended to use it to strengthen the courtyard walls, because it was too late to make bricks and tiles with construction techniques or to build walls. This is also where the system fucks up, the basic materials have no drawings and cannot be purchased directly, only the earthen kiln can be purchased, and then slowly use skills to make bricks and tiles.
Inspired by the rejection of the horse pile, he built the remaining bricks into the shape of a section of the city wall, and sure enough, the reward of the system came again in time.
"You are the first to build a wall, gain +1 reputation, generate a new blueprint, and get a blueprint share reward.
After having the drawings, Tang Yunfeng no longer had to spend time producing bricks and tiles, he directly bought the drawings and used the construction technique to build a section of the city wall. After calculating the time, combined with the situation of the house, he chose to build a defensive wall slightly higher than the courtyard wall within the courtyard wall. In this way, you can save some time to improve the whole defense system.
Making horse-repellent piles and building walls is just as boring as burning bricks and tiles, in order to increase one's combat effectiveness as much as possible. While building the city wall, Tang Yunfeng worked hard to practice the two techniques of fireball technique and thunderbolt technique, because these two were the fastest improvement in proficiency. It is estimated that by then, the fireball technique will be able to reach 100% proficiency, and the thunderbolt technique will not be able to reach it.
