When the gray man first entered the game, he was discovered by the mud head car who was in charge of the survivor camp, and although this humble graduate student kept saying that he was only a little learned, he did come up with a full set of plans for the construction of the camp.

This includes, but is not limited to, the specific division of living and working quarters, the development of a camp health and safety manual for Mama Jules, the improvement of the tools used by loggers, and the introduction of new and more convenient bamboo basket weaving methods for women.

There was even a simplified tutorial for building a simple Arabian tent out of wood and cloth.

That's the knowledge that the Ash Fighters found on the Internet, but when they got it to teach the NPCs in the camp, it got a pretty good response.

All of this effort has paid off.

Although the Chosen Gray Man is just an obscure little Karami in the current player base, in the world of Survivor Camp, this "erudite and gentle" "young scholar" is not low.

Not only was he the architect of the camp, but he was also appointed by Lady Miriam, who taught the children basket weaving, tools, and even polishing wood in his spare time.

Such an experience made him very respected by the people in the survivor camp.

This can be seen from the increasing intimacy of his two teenage assistants to him, from the beginning of the trembling to now taking the initiative to help him pour tea on his back, this "favorability" improvement is not a star and a half.

And Gray Man's own gaming experience is not the same as that of other players.

Since he entered the game for so long, he has basically not taken the initiative to fight monsters except for going to the Blood Vulture Corridor, but what is surprising is that the character level of Gray Man has not dropped much.

He's now level 9.

Of course, it is not as good as the first echelon that has completed the Black Iron Trial, but it is also a midstream player.

So the question is, if you don't fight monsters or practice combat skills, why can the level of this character be improved?

emmmm, presumably due to his special profession.

After he guides the survivors through the planning and transformation of the camp in the game, the Grey Beater moves on to a very special profession called "Architect".

This is a typical "administrative career" that the development team has been promoting.

The skills it gives to the graymen are "topographic exploration", "environmental investigation" and "rapid mapping", and the behaviors required to move up the class level are for the graymen to complete the planning, design and construction of larger and more complex buildings themselves.

At first, the Grey Man thought it was outrageous.

But if you think about the principle carefully, it is not difficult to find that in the real world, if an architect wants to accumulate experience and get better certificates, he needs to continue to complete learning and precipitation in his work.

After figuring this out, he thought that this was just an "attempt" of the game development team for a career in life, and then entered a life of "fishing" with peace of mind.

But no matter how much you convince yourself to touch the fish, you will still come.

After he was ushered into the Vulture Corridor by Lady Adele, the Grey Man's mood grew heavier with each step.

Mistress Murphy had told him to produce a plan for the new city, and that was when version 2.0 was first launched, a week ago, and he had been drawing it since he accepted the assignment.

Of course, it is indispensable to "borrow" some ready-made materials from the Internet, but even with the magic tool of the Internet, the work of fighting gray people is still slow.

It's a city!

Even in a medieval city, the complexity of planning and design is far beyond the reach of a design student who has not yet graduated.

The more he tried to plan for himself, the more he realized his shortcomings in the professional field, and the only good news was that he didn't have to think about designing a despairingly complex sewer system for the new city.

Cadman City's sewer system is completely ready to use.

But Rao was like this, and by this time his general plan was still not even a third of the time completed, and the gray man with a large number of drawings sighed for a long time, and there was a sense of miserable despair like going to the grave to show his mentor with his own blueprints, but he could not escape it.

"It's a game!"

The Grey Man cheers himself up in his heart and says:

"Don't be afraid! The worst outcome is just a failure of the mission, a decrease in favorability, and I won't be kicked out of Transia by Master Murphy to fend for myself, anyway, I'm just a casual player, and it doesn't matter what the intensity is. ”

He said to himself.

The restraint slowly relaxed, but after making a roundabout, the Grey Man did not see Master Murphy, but heard some children's laughter.

Surprised, he poked his head out from behind Lady Adele and saw that the camp was accompanied by a nun he had never seen before, but dressed as an Old Church clergy, leading a group of about thirty children down the corridor leading to the Hall of the Heirs.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

With the Mind Microphone plug-in, Ash Man no longer needs to translate the voice into text, and can now talk directly, so he whispered:

"Why are there human children in the cloister? Isn't this a sacred place for vampire clans? ”

"This is Lady Miriam's suggestion to Lord Murphy."

Lady Adele replied in a calm tone:

She said that since Master Murphy had repeatedly emphasized that the vampire would only be one of all the races in the Earl of Cadman, it would be inappropriate to deliberately maintain the mystery of the Bloodline. In order to alleviate humanity's rejection and dislike of vampires, the Baroness wants to open part of the Vulture Corridor to curious humans.

Master Murphy agreed to the offer.

Today is the first day of the Open House, and these children are the lucky ones who were selected from the camp and were among the first foreigners to be allowed to visit the Blood Vulture Corridor in 400 years. ”

With that, Lady Adele's gaze swept over the middle-aged woman beside Jules, who was also wearing Sister Avalon's robes.

The latter's senses were very keen, and he immediately glanced back.

Upon noticing a very nasty female vampire staring at her with an unkind gaze, Grandma Marianne did not immediately draw her weapon, as she had done before, but made a religious gesture on her chest and smiled at Adele, before raising her defiant middle finger.

This action was immediately noticed by Sister Jules, who glared at her fellow parishioners and whispered a few words of dissuasion.

There's a kid here!

Don't do that, Marianne!

You're going to make these would-be little Avalon believers learn badly.

"Damn witch hunters!"

Lady Adele scolded quietly, she didn't have any ill feelings about the children entering the Blood Vulture Corridor, but she was very upset that a master witch hunter could visit the Blood Sanctuary in such a grand manner.

But this is an order from Murphy's master, so she can only endure it no matter how unhappy she is.

"It's the right choice, people's fear often comes from the unknown, and once they know the daily life of vampires, and know that not all vampires feed on blood, their resistance to the new Vulture Clan under the command of Lord Murphy and Lady Triss will also be reduced."

The Grey Man nodded, clearly agreeing with Master Murphy's decision.

This made Lady Adele can't help but look at this tall, thin and shy exotic warrior again.

She hasn't been in contact with the players for a day or two, and she knows that these guys, regardless of their outward personality, are highly educated on the inside, and their knowledge and knowledge are better than 90% of the civilians on this continent.

It's hard to imagine what kind of world they live in.

"Mistress Murphy is waiting for you."

Lady Adele pointed to the heights, and the Grey Man looked up to see Master Murphy in his robes standing on the edge of the second floor. There was a boy chattering around him, and even a little girl in a floral dress was in the vampire's arms.

These two children are bold and not afraid of vampires?

With this in mind, the Grey Beater climbed the steps to reach Murphy's side.

"Well, here comes my wise warrior, children, go play, go and enjoy the day's leisure with your little ones, and remember to bring my greetings to your parents."

Murphy put the little girl in his arms on the ground, and as if by magic, he took out two pieces of court hard candy from Count André and stuffed them into their palms, and watched with a smile as his brother led his sister down the stairs.

He explains:

"These are Professor Malcolm's children, and I don't know how the professor raised his children, and the two little ones are surprisingly bold. Even if I scare them with my sharp teeth, they are not afraid to come up and ask me a lot of strange questions.

For example, the little girl was curious about whether we vampires could dream when we slept during the day. ”

The vampire lord shook his head, patted the railing and sighed:

"But I couldn't give them an answer, because I was an anomaly, and I rarely slept during the day.

However, winter is coming, and they are still living in tents, and although the food problem is being properly solved, the housing problem is not solved overnight, which is really worrying. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the Chosen Gray Man beside him, who was holding the drawings and fell into anxiety again, smiled, and said:

"That's why I'm summoning you today, my warrior Grey Man, about the progress of the job I've entrusted you. Please understand that I also don't want to put pressure on professionals, let alone outsiders to command insiders.

But as a lord, I have to be careful about whether my people will survive this winter safely. ”

"Uh, I'm sorry, my lord, I let you down."

The gray man sighed and handed over the drawings in his arms, and he said:

"Seven days was not enough time for me to complete the planning of the entire city, not even the general plan, I just tried my best to divide the different functional areas for our future Crimson Keep.

But so far, I haven't even finished sketching the borough, I need assistants, and there are few people on the land who can help me. ”

Hearing the gray man's answer, Murphy's heart sank.

But he quietly unfolded the large drawings in his hand, and then he was shocked by the intricate urban planning drawn by the gray man himself.

This. Is this little player going to build a megacity on this land that can live for millions of people? Otherwise, it can't explain why he planned a whole seven streets in the administrative district alone! He even saw a planned area for a supermarket on the blueprints.

Murphy immediately discovered the bottom line of why the Grey Fighters were unable to complete the design plan.

He glanced at the guilty little player with a strange look in his eyes, and asked in a strange tone:

"So, my warrior, allow me to ask you a question that is most of my concern right now, if I need you to design six settlements for my people in two months, how are you going to plan and execute them?"

The question silenced the Grey Man for a moment, and then he pondered and said:

"The easiest thing I can think of is the Khrushchev Building. Well, it's an architectural style on our side that sacrifices functionality for maximum utilization. You can think of it as seven stacked towers, each with 10 to 20 rooms, and a single building can accommodate thousands of people.

But it's hard for me to make it a reality in your city because we don't have cement.

It is a building material that solidifies quickly and is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion, and it can complete the erection of a building in a very short time. ”

"Of course I know what the Khrushchev House is! I lived there for a while when I was a kid! Don't underestimate me, you little idiot. ”

Murphy rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, but on the outside, he still feigned amazement and said:

"What an unimaginable building, what you describe seems to be a 'civilian castle' that I can't describe, and yet I have realized that you are thinking wrong, my dear architect."

Murphy put away the drawings and returned them to the Ash Man.

He patted the college student on the shoulder, pointed to the cheers of the children below as they toured the Vulture Collection, and asked:

"Do you think my territory is worthy of what you call a 'high-end residence'? No! They didn't need it, even in the old city of Cameand, all they had was a small apartment that could only shelter them from the wind and rain.

Functionality, aesthetics, and comfort are all things that my people are only qualified to pursue after they have basic safety and security.

As the saying goes, even the most delicious relief food is hard to swallow in times of peace.

You got me wrong, my warrior.

Perhaps because I didn't make it clear to you, I didn't ask you to design for me a megacity that could house the entire region of Translasia, such as the one you had planned on your drawings that didn't appear in my wildest dreams.

Did you know that the population of the entire Transnesia region did not exceed 2.5 million at its peak, and that was before the Fourth Black Plague.

So what I need you to do is design a city that can accommodate 200,000 people or less, and I've talked to you all these days, and I know that your world is so rich that I can't imagine it.

As you know, all I need is a big and bustling town.

Alas, the fact that the gap between the two worlds is so huge is hurting. ”

"Ahh

The gray man also immediately discovered his own misunderstanding.

After all, if you ask a modern professional college student to build a city, his first reaction must be to come up with a design that is comparable to the design of a super urban cluster in New York's SH, who would have thought that the NPC in the game would only need a plan for a small county town on the 28th line?

At this time, looking at the entire seven streets and the departments belonging to thirteen different buildings that he had planned for the administrative district, the gray man himself felt ridiculous

I seem to think this life is too complicated?

His faith came up all at once.

But then he realized that even if the NPC only needed the design of a large town, it was still not something that a college student could do.

But after the demand has been lowered by several levels, I will discuss it with a few more brothers, and pick up some professional information from the Internet to modify and modify, maybe this thing can be done?

"As for the 'cement' you say, well, I've never heard of this building material, but we have a way to replace it."

Murphy reached out to mobilize psionic energy.

Under the gaze of the Ashbeater, some of the suspended dust was molded into different shapes in his hands, and Murphy said to him:

"Although Triss and the eldest lady are not professional earth priests, they can still use the 'fossil to mud' in the psionic technique, this is the psionic technique used to build cities on this continent, we are not as extravagant as you are, you can make a house by alchemy.

But luckily, we have psionic help.

I suppose a house made of moldable stone should be strong enough to withstand the winter snowfall, right?

You see, my warriors. ”

The lord pointed to the carefree children below, put his hand on the shoulder of the gray beater, and whispered:

"Whether or not these children will have a good time this winter is up to your wisdom, but even if something goes wrong, I don't think they will blame you.

Just as I won't blame you either.

Because your dedication and sacrifice for this land are already in my eyes, so don't have any psychological pressure, just let it go. ”
