Chapter 5: The Imagination of a Sand Sculptor Player

"My lord, when we went out to search for food, we found three resource points......

One of them is a lumberyard, one is a quarry, and the other seems to be an iron mine, but we didn't dare approach it, so we didn't confirm ......"

Hearing the old man's words, Richard immediately lifted his spirits.

Resources are at the heart of Glorious Age.

With resources, you can buy class nests, buy food, recruit troops, and upgrade your territory......

The priority now is to capture the surrounding resource points, obtain resources, and make the territory strong as soon as possible.

"Glorious Era" is not a safe world, and all races compete for hegemony, which is the main theme in the future.

Not to mention the 20 billion players, there are still powerful aborigines in this world, and even outside the main plane, there are countless dimensional planes.

Demons, Angels, Dragons, Titans...... There are many of these legends.

"Do you have a map?"

He asked casually, but he didn't expect the old man to really take out a map.

Although the charcoal map looks rudimentary, several key points are marked.

"Ding~ You got a rough map, is it synced to the system map?"

Oh?

And this feature?

Richard rejoiced.

Synchronous.

After making his choice, a map of the system appeared in front of him, where most of the area was shrouded in fog.

The dots marked on the rough map that the old man had given him appeared on it untouched.

"Good, you're doing a good job."

"I don't know your name yet."

The old man said excitedly.

"Honorable Lord, Karui is at your disposal at any time!"

Richard nodded, this old man knew at a glance that he was a very prestigious person among the hundreds of people.

Some curiously opened the other party's properties panel.

Karui

[Level]: Level 3

[Potential] :D level

[Skill]: Internal Affairs (D level, can handle more efficient territory affairs)

Management (D level, better able to manage subordinates)

Persuasion (D-class, can convince others more easily by speaking)

[Racial Talent]: Able to learn the knowledge of other races.

[Bond]: When in charge of internal affairs, work efficiency is increased by 30%.

[Introduction]: It used to be a powerful hero unit, but its strength has degraded after getting old, and it has lost the power of the hero unit.

Richard saw Kaw's introduction and realized it.

I didn't expect the other party to be a hero.

It's a pity that it's old now......

But in any case, in the beginning, this is also a good talent.

His face became serious, and in front of all the residents, he said.

"Karui, in the name of the Lord of the City of Twilight, I appoint you as the Governor of the City of Twilight."

"In my absence, you're in charge of the rest of the inhabitants and keeping the city safe."

Karui was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in disbelief, and his aging body seemed to be young again.

Said loudly in a trembling tone.

"Thank you, lord, for your kindness, I will defend your glory with my life!!"

Richard nodded.

"Let them disperse, you follow me around the territory."

"As you wish."

After the crowd dispersed, Richard was escorted by the mummy and Karui to inspect the city of Dusk.

At present, the buildings in the realm are very scarce, only a few - lord's mansions, residential houses, blacksmith shops, and barracks.

Other than that, there are 10 blocks of open space left.

Empty space is the basis for new buildings in the territory, no new buildings can be built without open space, and the area of each block is 10 meters by 10 meters.

Depending on the building, the amount of vacant land occupied varies.

Lord's Mansion (30 spaces), Residential Houses (1 space), Blacksmith (4 spaces), Barracks (20 spaces).

When building a building, it must occupy the required number of spaces.

Because subsequent upgrades will expand outward.

If the vacant lot does not meet the requirements, subsequent buildings will not be able to upgrade the level.

This is well documented in the public information of the Glorious Age.

The number of spaces in a province increases with the level of the province.

Treasures can also be used to expand the area of the territory and increase the number of spaces.

In the center of the city of twilight is the Lord's Mansion, and out of the gate, there are 10 residential houses ← to the west.

To the east is the blacksmith β†’, and behind the lord's mansion is the barracks↓.

The 10 squares of open space are spread across the blacksmith area.

When Richard arrived at the blacksmith's shop with the open door, he found that it was full of dust and had not been used for a long time.

Blacksmith (4 spaces)

[Level]: Beginner (1000 units of iron ore, 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of stone are required to upgrade)

[Characteristics]: Forging efficiency increased by 10%

[Capacity]: Minimum 2 people, maximum 10 people

[Introduction]: An ordinary blacksmith shop where you can forge farm tools or low-level weapons.

The upgrade requirements of the blacksmith are significantly higher than that of residential houses, and they also come with special attributes.

"At least two people, it should be at least two people to get the blacksmith shop up and running."

Richard was a little curious, and looked at the attributes of the lord's mansion and barracks.

Lord's Mansion (30 spaces)

[Level]: Beginner (2000 units of gold, stone, wood, and iron ore are required to upgrade)

[Characteristics]: Efficiency (increases efficiency by 10% when working in the mansion), physical recovery (increases physical recovery speed by 20%)

[Capacity]: 30 people

[Introduction]: The core building of the territory, with special powers.

Richard was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the lord's mansion had two characteristics, and both of them were very practical.

I looked at the barracks with some anticipation.

Barracks (20 spaces)

[Level]: Beginner (1500 units of gold, stone, wood, and iron ore are required to upgrade)

[Characteristics]: Training (Classes have a very small chance of comprehending F-level skills in this training)

Strengthen the body (increase the exercise effect by 10%, can slightly improve the physical fitness)

[Capacity]: 100 people

[Introduction]: Ordinary barracks.

Yes, in addition to the residential buildings, all other buildings have corresponding characteristics.

However, these buildings have a lot of resources to upgrade.

After recruiting 14 mummies, the resources in his hands were reduced from 4,000 to more than 2,000.

I'm afraid I won't be able to upgrade in a short period of time.

"Karui, you immediately go and screen out the blacksmiths and tailors among the residents, I will be of great use."

"When new residents join in the future, you must do a similar count, and you are fully responsible for this."

Karui, who was following behind him, immediately nodded respectfully.

"As you wish, my lord......"

After a few more words, Richard asked Karui to leave.

He thought about it and opened the forum again.

I don't know how other people are progressing.

The moment he entered the chat channel, he felt as if he had returned to modern times.

One piece is the speech of a sand sculpture player.

"Damn, there are three hundred homeless people from outside my territory!! Made, like beggars, if you have to take refuge in me, how can I have food for them? I can't afford to raise it at all! ”

"Hahaha, I've recruited a hero from among the residents! It's still a cute girl, it's so cool!! I must study stockings in the future and cultivate an army of stockings and high-heeled cute girls! ”

"How do you get food? My territory is running out of food, and I can only last for two days, is it too late to go to farming now? ”

"Don't leave the territory!! I'm also two days old, and the territory has a one-month protection period, and if I leave the territory, this protection period will drop to seven days!! Made, this garbage game, ruin my life! ”

"I don't believe the officials will leave us alone! Anyway, there is a protection period, and I won't go out this month!! ”

"I'm going to throw up, the monsters outside are so powerful! 10 of my human swordsmen were wiped out by a fucking ogre, and that's a hell of a tin bucket! Lao Tzu's resources have all been bought for food, and there is nothing to recruit new troops, what should I do now? ”

"Why are orcs so good at eating? I ran out of food in my warehouse in one meal, mother, where am I going to get so much food to feed them!! ”

"Hahaha, it's still undead, you don't need to think about any food at all, but it's just that you've been looking at the bones and scum a little bit, and you can't support a maid, it's ...... bad luck."

"Hahaha, there are so many elf brothers, I'm going to die~ Ahhhh This queen wants to put all the elf brothers in the harem! I'm going to sleep ten a day!! ”

β€œ......”

Many lord players on the forums have come out of their initial confusion and are debating how to develop their territories.

There are some big hearts who are already ready to raise the harem......

But they also ran into various problems.

The most common complaints are about food insecurity and out-of-territory insecurity.

After Richard looked at it for about ten minutes, he had a plan in his mind.

It seems that the problem of food is a widespread problem and not unique to him.

And the time that many people mentioned about the protection time provided by the system also made him think.

There is a one-month safe period when you don't step out of the territory, and the safe period when you step out of the territory drops to 7 days.

Is the same true of his territory?

If everyone were the same, then the choice given by the system might be a watershed......
