.

Naturally, the Xuelan side was led by Tadun to the Yanlan Ice Demon's territory, so Liu Yifei didn't need to worry.

Therefore, he took the young assassin and Yu Huangquan directly back to Plague City.

After receiving the reward he deserved from Toradre, Liu Yifei stopped by Emoni's place before going to Stormwind Fortress to exchange what had been agreed upon before.

The set of holy items for the fourth-level vampire mercenary that Toradre handed directly to Liu Yifei was indeed extraordinary, and could give the vampire powerful "shadow hiding" and conjuration abilities.

But the problem is that if you want to build a recruitment building for vampire creatures - the Haunted Mansion, you have to wait until the Plague City reaches level four at least.

Finally, he was slowly promoted to a second-level city. Liu Yifei could guess how difficult it would be to be promoted to a fourth-level city just by thinking with his toes. He liked things with potential, but if this potential was left on hold for too long, it would inevitably

The price has dropped a bit, and now he has the method of spending his own money to purchase it. Although it is impossible to definitely produce a set, he is not too anxious about the sacred set of mid-to-high-level mercenaries.

On the contrary, the "spiritual tomb" construction scroll in Emoni's hand really attracted Liu Yifei~

I learned from Emoni that the higher the basic level of the city, the more buildings of the same type are allowed to be built. However, if you want to build, the only way is to use construction drawings, which cannot be built directly. Therefore, this kind of construction drawings are useful for

Quite valuable for lords who want to expand their military strength.

Emoni's City of Suffering has been established for a long time, and the buildings that can be added have naturally been completed early~ Now if you want to further improve your own strength, a more practical direction is to collect mercenary holy objects, so the two of them can be considered as separate

Take what you need...

Carrying a precious blueprint for the construction of a spiritual tomb, Liu Yifei's self-confidence once again exploded.

Although the Star Tower Shield made a joke on Liu Yifei before, saying that he didn't need to upgrade at all now, he just needed to develop the power of Plague City with peace of mind~ Liu Yifei didn't take it seriously, but he also knew that as a lord, the comprehensiveness of the territory

Strength is far more important than whether one is strong or not

Liu Yifei knows very well that no matter how strong a single hero is, it is almost impossible for him to challenge a city with a steady output of troops~

And as long as he takes the lead now and pushes up the strength of Plague City, he will be invincible even if the world undergoes major changes in the future...

After returning to the Plague City, it happened that the girl Lone Hunting Baby was also online, so Liu Yifei called her to prepare to hold the first "Plague City Steward's Council" in his lord's castle.

The issues to be discussed in the meeting are also very simple. Naturally, they are about everyone’s division of labor in the following days~

Today's plague city is in dire straits and needs to be renovated. Compared with the shortage of manpower in a short period of time, there are many aspects that need to be taken into consideration.

Daily rations for residents, fresh water consumption, resource mining progress, exploration of new resource points, detection of the surrounding environment, collection of biome information, establishment of resource villages, and training of mercenary strength~

It can be said that there are so many things

Due to the serious shortage of manpower, Liu Yifei completely gave up on less urgent aspects such as exploring the surrounding environment. As a result, the most direct problem is that the discovery of new resource points has been postponed indefinitely, making the resource output of Plague City very

So far, there are only two types of resources: wood and stone.

At first, he could use the excuse that he had too many things to do and was too busy at the moment, but now, Liu Yifei has put an end to all the things that need to be done, and these troublesome things can no longer be avoided...

"Okay~ Xue Lan has to leave temporarily because of something. If we include her, our management staff of Plague City have gathered together for the first time~" Liu Yifei clapped his hands and joked to the other three people.

"Oh, I'm sorry. There are only four or five living people in the city. Doesn't it matter what the difference is? They are all just commanders..." Yu Huangquan rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice~

However, although this evil-minded girl deliberately lowered her voice, the other three people present could hear her clearly, which made Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the main seat, particularly embarrassed.

"Ahem...what about this...for the time being, there are only a few of us, so it will definitely be a little more deserted~ But after a while, when we have accumulated more strength, I will prepare to slowly

The Plague City is now open.

At that time, as a player territory, it will be surrounded by the boundless Sighing Mountains. For players who like adventure, I think it should be a little attractive, so the future potential of this city is not small ~ Temporary difficult conditions

, let’s make do with it~”

"Brother Yun, what's the mission for calling us here? Tell us quickly~ I've been so busy these past two days and I'm ready to do something big," the little assassin asked impatiently.

"Haha, don't worry, let's talk about your own plans first. Do you have any plans for the subsequent game process?"

"Um... planning? I've never liked this thing~ Anyway, I just play with Brother Yun. If there's a battle, I'll kill the boss. I'll upgrade, I'll get treasures, and I'll have nothing to do when I'm free.

He's a sap or something, I think it's pretty cool~" the little assassin said with a confused look on his face.

"Holy shit, you guys are having fun so coolly...but you can't continue like this~

If we continue to develop, each of us may need to be responsible for one or even several aspects of affairs alone. In order to improve efficiency, working separately is the only option. Therefore, in the future, you will no longer be able to muddle around like before.

It’s time~" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Oh... Actually, if I really have any plans, I would really like to reach level 80 and be reborn as soon as possible~

You see, Brother Yun, you have already reached more than ten levels of the second level. Your early levels are very easy to improve. It is estimated that you will be able to reach level 40 soon, and Sister Xuelan is not far away from level 80.

Now, as long as she acts ruthlessly, she will probably be reborn in a short time~

I'm far behind in leveling up as efficiently as you. If I don't have any good luck, I'll still have to grind for a while. Counting the days, the competition is only over a month away. If I want to participate, I probably won't be reborn.

It's better, otherwise it would be impossible to make up the level immediately after rebirth~

On the one hand, I want to be reborn and level up as soon as possible, but on the other hand, I have to slow down my rebirth plan for the competition... I haven't thought about other things in the past two days, and I have just been thinking about this matter." The little assassin complained with an annoyed look on his face.

.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm not upgrading as fast as you. When you mention it like this, it seems like I am too... It's over. I'm going to be thrown away by the big army..." Listen

When the little assassin said this, Yu Huangquan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly came to his senses.

"Well...are you both preparing to participate in the competition?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Well~ I want to try to see how strong I am now."

"Nonsense, of course~"

The two of them answered in unison.

"Actually, judging from the quality and progress of this game, I conservatively estimate that it will be successful for four to five years.

If calculated based on the five years of the game in its heyday, the delay in this time is not too serious. It is just a good time to take on more difficult tasks while you are strong, and have the opportunity to reward attribute points and skill points.

You must know that the rewards you get from upgrading will be at a big discount when you are reborn, but if you get extra rewards, you can inherit them smoothly, so when others are weak and you are strong, collect more and count the benefits.

And the difficulty of rebirth is definitely becoming more and more difficult. Since you are determined to pursue perfection, it is natural that you should not miss this opportunity to make more money, so as not to regret it in the future.

I still support you on this matter..."

At this point, Liu Yifei turned his head, looked at the lonely hunting doll who was silent and asked: "What are your plans? Do you want to visit other places, go back to the elves, or stay with me?"

"

"Well...Actually, I'm not as crazy as Ruan Tianhua. He works for sixteen hours a day before quitting. I can't do that. I also work an extra part-time job as a waiter at a fast food restaurant near the school.

I have to go to work, so I can come in and play games every day when I have no classes in the morning and in the evening.

When it comes to leveling up, I'm not as motivated as you boys, so just be casual~

In fact, if there hadn't been a 'reward' on the border this time, and if I happened to be in financial crisis, I would still be quite happy to stay in the original little elf town and play slowly. Now that it's out, and I guess my reputation

It also stinks in the elves, so it’s best not to go back, lest you be hunted down every day..." Lone Hunter Baby thought for a while and said.

"So you are planning to stay?"

"That's right~~~ Why do you think you are so famous in the game? I'm still a little curious about you. I see that you are not as scary as others say, but I want to see how strong you can become.

~

Now that I know you own this city, I am more interested in this city

By the way, didn't you just say that you were going to open this city to players? Then... can the houses you built be sold? Those beautiful houses in the system city can be sold to players, and the prices are

Not even cheap.”

This girl suddenly thought of getting into real estate~Liu Yifei secretly laughed in his heart.

"Of course it can, but the area of ​​the city is not infinite. Apart from the lord area, trade area and some functional building areas, it is estimated that there will not be much space left for residential development in the end~

The more residential houses remain, the more attractive the system will be to the refugees by default, and it will attract more urban residents~

Therefore, although this residential house can be sold to players, the specific method of selling it must be discussed~ If it affects the foundation of urban development, it will be very uneconomical~"

"Residents? Are they those low-level NPCs who help with work? I've been paying attention in the past two days. Aren't 'peasants' and 'skeletons' also able to work? Why do they have to be used? Leave all the residential buildings empty and sell them for more.

Is it a good deal~" Lone Hunter Doll immediately asked in confusion.

For Liu Yifei now, he somewhat understands the operation mode of the entire territory construction, but there are not many players who can touch this rule~

Therefore, he could only smile helplessly when it came to the problem of the solitary hunting doll, which was almost like a novice's, and then slowly explained: "Don't underestimate the role of these lowest-level NPCs in the construction and development of the territory.

, they all play a decisive role

These lowest-level NPCs, before being accepted by the lord, are collectively called "refugees". They are governed by system rules. According to the prosperity of each city, environmental factors, geographical factors and other conditions, they will slowly gather in various places at a speed.

around the territory.

After being accepted by the lord of the territory, these refugees become "residents" of the territory.

'Number of residents' is first of all an important indicator of city upgrading. For example, this time our Plague City is upgraded to Level 2. One of the conditions required is to have 500 residents. To upgrade to the next level to Level 3, the number of residents required is

It's two thousand.

If this condition cannot be met, everything else will be in vain~

In cities that can basically meet this standard, there are almost all other corresponding functional buildings, because these things are all included in the "satisfaction" of the refugees with the city.

Next, after there are residents, the lord can obtain "labor force" from them. On average, there are two "standard labor forces" for every five residents. And an ordinary first-level residential house has five people, so a small house is almost full.
