Chapter 20: The Envy of the Player
After letting the scorpion warrior stand guard with the bandage mummy, Richard returned to the hall and habitually opened the chat channel.
Two days have passed, and I don't know how the other lords are doing now.
"Holy!! Today, I attacked a small lumber yard and met an elite 3-star monster, I was a husky, why did there be an elite monster in a small lumber yard? I didn't have a single class of troops left, so I gave them all away!! ”
"You may not believe it, today I met the caravan of the NPC, that is, the aborigines, you haven't seen it, those aborigines use the land to transport supplies, that is a rare level of troops! It made my eyes red with envy. ”
"What's upstairs, the NPC caravan I met is still planning to trade with me, but there are no specialties in my territory, so the other party took a look and left.
Phew, this is blatant discrimination! Hmph, these bastards, I'll let them know! Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi! Don't bully young people into poverty! ”
"How can I get food!! My population has exceeded 300!! But I can't fucking afford it!!
For the first time, I know that 300 people eat and consume so much food every day, who can lend me some food, I promise, when I am ten times more developed, I will pay it back! ”
"Hahaha, I finally have an elite-level class lair! I used half of the population of my territory as cannon fodder, and finally captured that field stronghold. But it doesn't seem like there's anything to be happy about...... Those residents have run away because of this, damn, it's been too hard to live! ”
"Dog Day game planner, don't let me know where you are!! Why develop such a game of extermination, the inhabitants of my territory rebelled because they were starved for a day!! , didn't you just haven't eaten for a day? Why rebel! If you rebel, you will rebel, and you will loot my territory!! Can we live this day?! ”
"It's so hard, why is this world so hard...... In the end, this is how to run the territory, lack of food, lack of water, lack of resources, and there are powerful field troops outside, like scolding my mother......"
Richard looked at it for a long time and found that most of the players were having a hard time.
Only a few are barely fed, but there are many problems.
In comparison, the city of dusk is too comfortable.
It has only been two days, and he has already established himself in the desert, a forbidden place of life.
Although the food is not rich and the water scarcity is still in front of us, it is countless times better than the miserable life of other lords.
After looking at it for a moment, something suddenly occurred to him.
He took out two resource treasures that he had exchanged for 800 units of food, the Sand Date Forest and the Spring Water Fragment.
"10 acres of jujube forest, mature once a month...... Needless to say, the sooner this stable food source is planted, the better. ”
"Hunting, although highly profitable, is unstable, and this is not a long-term development plan for the territory."
"But the problem is that the jujube forest must have enough water to irrigate ......"
"And there is only one shard of spring water, how can I get the other two shards?"
"It's obviously not realistic to open your own treasure chest...... You still have to buy it from other players. ”
Richard's mind swirled and he had an idea.
"On the premise of ensuring the consumption of Dusk City, you can take out a part of the food in exchange for spring treasure fragments, and start the planting of 10 acres of sand date forest as soon as possible......"
"A forest of sand dates that produces food steadily means a lot to the city of twilight in the desert."
The desert is not a place of abundance, and a steady food output is a great guarantee.
The City of Twilight can't always rely on hunting to solve its food problems.
When the population is small, hunting is okay, but when it grows to three or four thousand or even tens of thousands of people in the future, how much prey do you have to hunt every day to be satisfied?
If the territory wants to develop, it must farm.
After Richard made his decision, Karui was summoned.
Without waiting for the other party to salute, he immediately asked.
"Karui, after today's prey is processed, we still have a total of unit food?"
Karun's slightly cloudy eyes stared directly at Richard, and his voice was old with a weathered composure.
"Lord Richard, after today's prey processing, there are still 1,300 units of meat left, plus 3,200 units of meat in the storeroom, a total of 4,500 units."
"But there is a lot of loss in drying this fresh meat into jerky."
"In addition, we had 500 units of coarse wheat left......"
"All the food added up can support the consumption of the territory for half a month, and saving some can last for twenty days."
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly.
Half a month's inventory, this data is far from enough for a territory, and the ability to resist risks is too weak.
But for the early stage where development opportunities are precious, there is no need to save so much, and you can take out a part of the development.
A 10-day buffer is sufficient.
With a plan in mind, he immediately got up and went to the warehouse of the lord's mansion...... All the supplies of the City of Dusk are stored here.
Karui also arranged for a few people to guard day and night.
Richard took 1,000 units of fresh meat from the warehouse and posted a bounty request in the bounty section of the market.
1000 units of Fresh Meat Bounty Resource Treasure: Fountain or Fountain Fragment*2
This message immediately appeared in the first and second places in the bounty area.
Bounty areas are ranked in order of value.
Apparently, the system concluded that his 1,000 units of fresh meat were worth more than the bounty everybody.
The huge market has countless bounties.
But it's the first time I've seen a treasure with food, and it's also a meat bounty, and this shot is 1000 units of meat.
This made the eyes of many lords who were short of food immediately red with envy.
Quickly started talking in the chat channel.
"I just saw a big guy named Qingqiu directly hung 1,000 units of meat, just in exchange for a garbage resource treasure, what do you say this spring water is for? The water in my territory flows out every day......"
"I can't afford it!! Why only exchange treasures? Ahhhh 1,000 units of meat, I can make the inhabitants of the territory eat for 10 days, a bowl of broth a day, and it is not beautiful to kill them! ”
"People have to die more than men!! As soon as I shot it, it was 1000 units of meat, and this is just the beginning, who is so generous? ”
"This is the first time I've seen such a tyrant, what kind of life is this big guy named Qingqiu??"
"Why does anyone have so much adequate food at this stage? I'm not convinced!! Why can I only drink porridge today......"
These two pieces of information immediately caused a large number of players who were short of food to wail.
When they were still worried about food, someone took so much food, or meat, in exchange for a treasure like spring water, which was rubbish to many people, which made them envious and jealous......
