Chapter 270 The Spring of Life Is at Hand! Let’s Start Construction in a Big Way!
When Hang Yu returned to the territory.
Received a reminder from the stars.
[Ding, you have officially obtained the qualification for the Shengcang City Lord Competition. This round of competition will officially start in seven days. Please make corresponding preparations! ]
"Will you wait another seven days?"
Hang Yu nodded: "That's fine!"
Although he won the first place in this trial.
But the gap between the human race territory and several top race territories cannot be ignored.
If the competition is started directly and they are allowed to compete, with the current comprehensive strength of the territory, there will be a lot of pressure.
Seven days.
This is very short for ordinary territories.
But for Hang Yu, it can provide a valuable strategic development opportunity. He plans to take over the old Wancheng in the next seven days and impact the fourth level.
In this way.
The grasp is much greater!
Hang Yu: "Report on the development of the territory in the past two days!"
Xiao Ba replied: "Report to the master, the territory has developed steadily in the past two days, the level of the recruits has been steadily improved, and the current proportion of the Scourge Army above level 5 has exceeded 90%!"
"While the recruits in the territory are growing rapidly, the veterans of the territory are also carrying out tasks. In the past two or three days, they have successively attacked and captured the two old cities of Ye County and Bowang."
"A total of five new blessing points have been opened!"
"Obtained two secondary evil source fragments!"
"..."
Hang Yu nodded with satisfaction after listening to the report.
Although he was not in the territory in the past one or two days, the development pace of the territory has not slowed down.
Especially the thousands of elite veterans of the Scourge Legion, they successfully captured the two cities of Ye County and Bowang without the leadership of the top bosses.
The difficulty of these two places is certainly not comparable to Xinye, but they are also occupied by the pollution source of the third-level commander level, which is quite difficult to deal with.
Four or five thousand Scourge Army.
They were wiped out several times.
Finally found a strategy and successfully captured it.
Hang Yu gained a lot of essence in this process. When the territory's essence reserves approached the peak of 150 million, he distributed all the excess essence in the form of task rewards.
If the tasks cannot be distributed.
Then there is a huge reservoir of 500 Canglong Guards, and all the excess essence will be poured into them to help them practice skills and improve their strength.
The harder these players work.
The more essence they produce.
Not only will the frequency and quality of the Scourge Army's tasks increase, but the territory troops headed by the Canglong Guards will also grow faster, and ordinary indigenous servants will also get more benefits from it.
Essence income is part of the basic income.
The players successively eliminated two weaker third-level secondary pollution sources, providing Hang Yu with 5 third-level talent points in total!
The number is not much.
But each third-level talent point is very important!
Hang Yu does not plan to split the third-level talent points for the time being, but to save them to activate the remaining two third-level talents.
With the current foundation and resources.
Hang Yu probably won't be able to cultivate purple quality skills in a short time. In addition to having purple quality skills, the best way for him to improve his strength is to activate his talent.
There are three lord talents in the third level.
Among them, the one that improves individual strength the most is "Human Emperor Constitution", and this talent has been activated by Hang Yu. Although the other two are not as good as improving personal strength, they are also quite considerable when added together.
As long as these two talents are activated.
Not only will a qualitative breakthrough be achieved in the foundation.
Hang Yu can also break through the shackles and become a fourth-level lord!
There are not many third-level pollution sources in Wancheng area, and third-level talent points are very scarce and cannot be used indiscriminately!
Players are attacking cities and strongholds.
Open five new blessing points for the territory.
Among them, there are three white blessing points and two green blessing points, and when the blessing points are opened, a fortune treasure chest will be formed.
Hang Yu currently has three white quality fortune treasure chests and two green quality fortune treasure chests to be opened.
The value of white fortune treasure chests is average.
At most, you can get first- and second-level white items or common first- and second-level blueprints from them.
The green-quality treasure chests are pretty good, but although they are also green-quality treasure chests, the luck contained in these two treasure chests is much inferior to that of the Xinye City treasure chest.
But there is nothing you can do about it.
After all, Xinye is occupied by an evil infant Deng Ai. Whether it is the number and quality of monsters or BOSSes, they are much higher than those in Ye County and Bowang, so the luck condensed is naturally more.
After a slight hesitation, Hang Yu.
His mind moved slightly, and five treasure chests of different sizes condensed by luck appeared around his body.
At the same time.
A reminder of the will of the stars appeared in his mind.
[You are synthesizing the luck treasure chest. This synthesis is expected to consume 230 points of star merit. Do you want to continue? ]
The luck treasure chest can be synthesized.
When Hang Yu occupied Xinwan City, he used the luck core of Xinwan to absorb all the luck in the Xinwan area in one breath, and finally formed an ultra-high-quality blue treasure chest.
This is because the luck of the Xinwan area, under the long-term influence of the luck formation, eventually formed a luck core in Xinwan.
Under normal circumstances.
The distribution of luck is fragmented.
The star lord can synthesize these fragments by consuming merits, so that a lower-quality luck treasure chest can be synthesized into a higher-quality treasure chest.
It makes sense to do this.
The higher the quality of the luck treasure chest.
The higher the probability of getting rare items and rare drawings.
Hang Yu didn't have the Stars Merit before. This time he returned to the Stars and earned 5,000 by clearing the Colossus Maze. He used 1,000 when he joined the organization.
Currently, there are 4,000.
For a lord of a relatively low level.
This is also a considerable merit, enough to exchange for a lot of benefits for the territory, and the synthesis of the Fortune Treasure Box is just one of them.
[Synthesis Success! ]
The five treasure chests in Hang Yu's hand merged into one.
It's a pity that the new treasure chest in the end is still green quality and has not become a blue treasure chest.
But compared to just now.
The luck of this new green treasure chest has been greatly enhanced.
Hang Yu estimates that it is not inferior to the Fortune Treasure Box in Xinye City, so there is still a relatively high probability of opening a skill stone or a blueprint.
The treasure chest cannot be stored for a long time and there is no need to.
If it is not used for more than 48 hours, the treasure chest will automatically open, and Hang Yu simply opened it directly.
[You opened the Fortune Treasure Box, and you got "Magic Crystal" +50,000, "Forging Crystal +500", "Life Gem +300", "Mana Gem +300", "Skill Stone: Wind Wing Dance", "Construction Blueprint: Super Spiritual Field"! ]
"Not bad!"
Hang Yu was satisfied with his luck.
The resources in this third-level green treasure box are more than those in the Xinye City treasure box. In addition, a valuable secret skill stone and a third-level rare blueprint were obtained.
[Skill Stone: Wind Wing Dance], green quality secret skill, learning conditions: Agility 200, Strength 100, Spirit 100.
This skill sounds like a spell skill.
It is actually an agility secret skill.
Although it is only a green quality secret skill, it is very practical. It can greatly increase the movement speed and temporarily grant the ability to fly freely.
This is very useful for all professions.
Especially for the Ranger, who is known for his speed.
When a high-sensitivity monk masters this skill, the bonus to the movement speed will undoubtedly be greater, and the increased mobility and flight ability will be more powerful.
As for the blueprint?
This time, a third-level spiritual field blueprint was obtained!
Hang Yu has built a lot of first-level ordinary spiritual fields and second-level advanced spiritual fields in his territory, but there is no super spiritual field yet.
Because compared with the first and second-level spiritual fields.
The blueprint of the third-level spiritual field is very rare.
This kind of blueprint is worth at least 100,000 or 200,000 magic crystals, and it is difficult to buy it on the market. Even if it occasionally appears, it will be quickly bought and almost not circulated.
Because the value of the third-level spiritual field is too great!
This level of spiritual field can grow up to third-level purple quality and fourth-level blue quality materials. The planting output alone can create a lot of value and can be called a cash cow.
In general, the blueprint of the super spiritual field.
Only the third-level blue quality treasure chest has a probability of being opened, and the possibility of opening it from the third-level green treasure chest is very small.
This shows that the synthetic treasure chest is still very useful.
If Hang Yu had not combined the five treasure chests in his hand, he might have been lucky enough to open one or two more maps, but the total value would be far less than this time.
The harvest was not bad.
Hang Yu was very satisfied with the current situation.
He decided to accelerate the development of the territory next.
First of all, of course, he had to continue to assign tasks to the players and let them take down Jiuwan within three days.
When the Scourge Army stationed in Bowang.
This place is only two hundred miles away from Jiuwan.
Players have spirit horses, and high-level players have black dragon horses. They only need to clear the obstacles along the way and then they can directly start the attack on Jiuwan City.
As the core pollution area of this map.
It must be taken down as soon as possible.
Hang Yu not only needs the large amount of resources produced in this battle to subsidize the consumption in the process of territory development, but also needs to activate his talent by annexing the core pollution source.
In addition, the "treatment plan" for Dian Wei is also being prepared intensively. If nothing unexpected happens, this matter should be a sure thing.
Secondly, Hang Yu is ready to make a series of drastic investments to rebuild the ruins in various parts of the territory as soon as possible, while further improving the important facilities of the territory and significantly increasing the population of the territory.
In the next few days.
Hang Yu will upgrade eighty second-level abyss barracks.
When the territory has eighty third-level abyss barracks, the number of clans that can be recruited will increase by 16,000 at a time!
This is more than the Canglong Guard and the Scourge Legion combined!
It can be called a super-large-scale conscription!
Not only that, as the territory develops, Hang Yu will build more barracks as resources and capacity allow, thereby further expanding the population limit and issuing more player quotas.
"Issue an announcement!"
"Start a new round of conscription!"
"This round of recruitment is tentatively scheduled for 20,000!"
Hang Yu said to Xiao Ba: "Starting tomorrow night, two thousand quotas will be released every day to guide new recruits to join the territory in an orderly manner."
"Yes!"
Xiao Ba immediately executed the order and began to screen players.
This round of recruitment cycle is set at ten days, not only for the capacity and consideration of the territory, but also for the balance that must be made based on resource pressure.
After the battle of the Corpse Witch Territory.
The territory's magic crystal finance and material reserves increased greatly.
Although the number seems very large, it is still too much for the territory to build 80 barracks and recruit nearly 20,000 players at once!
In addition.
There are still many places where Hang Yu needs to invest resources.
For example, the reconstruction of Heyin City (Mingxue City), Shaxian City, Xiling City in the former Corpse Witch Territory, and Xinye, Bowang and other important cities in the Wancheng area.
The magic crystals and resources required to invest in these important towns alone are not a small number, not to mention that there are dozens of towns and potential large cities including Jiuwan.
Not only that.
Hang Yu will also build the Star Arena and its supporting facilities, plus build a Star Mine for the territory, and build a burial ground and a corpse storage pit to recruit labor to supplement the population, etc.
Relying on this resource alone.
It is far from enough to meet the construction.
As the saying goes, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite.
Construction of this scale cannot be completed in one or two days.
Hang Yu expects that he will spend a long period of energy on this. In order to reasonably arrange resources and advance the whole process, he must naturally proceed step by step.
Just as he was about to make a more detailed plan.
Xiao Ba: "Master, a lord named 'He Tianming' is contacting you through the trading market."
Hang Yu was not surprised.
The trading hall was opened immediately.
The hall interface changed.
In addition to the ordinary markets of the ten territories, there was a new market named "Humanitarian League" in the trading hall.
This is the organization market.
When Hang Yu opened the Humanitarian League trading market.
The difference between this market and the ten ordinary markets is that each of the ten ordinary markets can connect to a maximum of 10,000 territories.
Although it sounds like a lot, there are a total of 100,000 territories, but more than 80% of them are first-level territories, and the value they can create is naturally very limited.
The Humanitarian League market is different.
Although the Humanitarian League has less than 20,000 formal organizational members, these 20,000 members are at least second-level lords, and they are senior lords among the second-level lords.
After all, it takes 1,000 points of star merit to join the organization, and it is not easy for ordinary lords to accumulate 1,000 points of merit.
There are 6,000 lords who have reached the third level in the entire market.
Even the fourth-level lords have hundreds of them.
Although the Humane Alliance market may not be larger than the ten basic markets in terms of market size, the Humane Alliance market is far superior to the ten basic human lord markets in terms of quality, especially the circulation of high-end and rare items.
Return to the stars this time.
One of Hang Yu’s biggest gains is naturally becoming a formal member of the Humane Alliance, opening up a relatively high-end market for the territory, which will greatly help future development.
In addition.
Unlike other markets.
The organization market is not anonymous.
The lord who is contacting Hang Yu is named He Tianming.
This is a fifth-level human lord, one of the four presidents of the Humane Alliance, mainly responsible for the organization and management of Yinhui City, and one of the most prestigious human lords in this Tianyuan domain.
Hang Yu: "Hello, President He!"
He Tianming: "Beichen Guang has already made coordination, so don't waste time, let's trade directly!"
Hang Yu: "Okay!"
He Tianming took out the "Life Spirit Spring" blueprint.
[Construction blueprint: Life Spirit Spring], a rare third-level blueprint, construction cost: 150,000 magic crystals + 80,000 third-level material essences.
This is it!
Hang Yu has been acquiring it for a long time.
So far, there has been no news.
Although the blueprint itself is only third-level, it is difficult to buy such a blueprint in the low-level market. Not to mention that Hang Yu has only acquired it for half a month, even a year or two is enough.
Hang Yu took out the "Corpse King Temple" blueprint.
This is the price agreed upon early in the morning.
Hang Yu used the "Corpse King Temple" blueprint to exchange for the "Life Spirit Spring" in He Tianming's hands, and all taxes and fees generated by the transaction were borne by Hang Yu.
Overall, this transaction is fair.
Hang Yu has three blueprints waiting to be sold.
One is the "Blood Spear Demon Barracks" obtained after taking over Xinwan, one is the "Corpse King Temple" obtained after taking over the Corpse Witch Territory Nether Blood City, and the other is the "Gargoyle Cathedral" opened from the treasure chest in the Colossus Maze.
All three are top-quality barracks blueprints.
Among them, the Corpse King Temple can recruit magic troops and three overlords, and although the Gargoyle Cathedral has average troops, it is a fourth-level blueprint after all, and the level is here.
The value of these two blueprints is similar.
The Blood Spear Demon Barracks is slightly inferior.
At this moment, Hang Yu took out the "Corpse King Temple" to exchange for the "Life Spring" in He Tianming's hand.
The Corpse King Temple is extremely valuable to lower-level races such as humans and can greatly increase the strength of the territory. The Life Spring can increase the production and create value of the territory in the long run.
To put it another way.
In the eyes of lower-level races with weak troops, the value of the Corpse King Temple will be higher than the Life Spring. In the eyes of higher-level races with rich troops, the value of the Life Spring will be higher than the Corpse King Temple.
In general.
The comprehensive value of the two is similar.
However, after all, Hang Yu is the buyer, and it is not realistic to pursue equal exchange. It is normal for the other party to ask for a premium.
Because of Beichenguang's mediation, the Humanitarian Alliance wanted to recruit Hang Yu again. He Tianming did not raise the price, but just let Hang Yu bear the tax for this transaction.
It was like doing a favor.
It was very face-saving.
[You completed the transaction! ]
[You obtained the "Life Spirit Spring" blueprint, and the handling fee for this transaction was 51,200 magic crystals! ]
【……】
Finally done!
Although there is no direct exchange of magic crystals between the two, but barter, the Law of the Stars will automatically value the items and charge a handling fee for the transaction.
Just paying taxes alone cost 50,000 magic crystals!
This expenditure is very painful even for Hang Yu!
Although you can buy good things in the Humane League's market, the rates are higher than in the ordinary market. You still need to reach the fourth level and become an elder as soon as possible.
Hang Yu politely said: "Thank you, President He!"
He Tianming: "You're welcome!"
The great human lord of Yinhui City doesn't seem to like chatting very much, but he is a boss-level figure after all, so he is probably quite busy.
Soon after.
Bei Chenguang sent another message: "Brother Hang Yu, how is the situation? Is the transaction completed?"
Hang Yu: "Well, it went very smoothly, thanks to President Beichen for mediating through the matchmaking!"
Bei Chenguang: "Hahaha, I, Bei Chenguang, will naturally do my best to do what I promised."
Bei Chenguang: "I have also found a way to get the elixir and the Scroll of Creation you want. I should be able to get it in a day or two. Just exchange it for the Gargoyle Cathedral drawing in your hand!"
Hang Yu said cheerfully: "Okay!"
For the six second-level attribute-increasing elixirs, purchase 100 pills each, for a total of 600 pills.
The average price of this second-level attribute medicine starts at least 300 magic crystals.
Six hundred require approximately 200,000 magic crystals.
This is no small sum.
In addition, Hang Yu also needs to collect a resurrection prop, the Scroll of Creation. This prop is very rare and difficult to buy if you have money. It requires connections.
The total value of the two items is between 250,000 and 300,000 magic crystals.
Hang Yu can take out this money.
However, at this critical juncture, the territory needs to spend a lot of resources and magic crystals on construction and recruiting troops. Naturally, it can be saved as much as possible, let alone such a large amount.
Therefore.
Hang Yu proposed to use drawings in exchange.
Naturally, Beichunguang would not refuse this.
Because for a fifth-level lord who has managed his territory for hundreds of years, this kind of drawing is obviously more valuable than the magic crystal.
Although the Gargoyle Cathedral is very mediocre in a fourth-level barracks-type building, such a high level is destined to be worth the price. Even if it pays transaction taxes, it can still make a small profit.
For Hang Yu.
Two useless drawings.
But it can exchange for so many important resources for the territory.
Worth it!
After Hang Yu and Bei Chenguang agreed on the approximate delivery time of the items, he rummaged around in the Tiandao League market, and he was quite surprised by the results.
It is indeed a high-quality market!
There are a large number of high-end resources circulating in the market of Tiandao League.
In addition, the probability of skill stones and blueprints appearing is also higher!
The only drawback is that the transaction prices in this market are generally 20 to 30% more expensive than the ordinary market.
Although more expensive.
But still acceptable.
Don’t worry if you need third- or fourth-level materials in the future.
If you have enough magic crystals in your hand, it will be easier to buy skill stones and drawings needed for the territory, especially drawings of various special facilities or props exclusive to humans.
These facilities or items are only valuable to human lords, or can only be effective for humans. They can only be purchased within the Humane Alliance and cannot be seen in the markets of other races.
Just at this time.
Hang Yu suddenly remembered something.
He then asked: "Xiaoba, how is the recruitment situation of construction engineers?"
Related workshops have been built in the territory.
Hang Yu had posted the recruitment information for builders before returning to the stars, but days passed in the blink of an eye, and no builders responded.
Xiaoba replied: "There are no applications for the moment."
Hang Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
Can't find anyone?
This can be a bit troublesome!
As the level of a territory increases, there will always be many facilities that need to be customized or modified. It will be very troublesome if you don't have your own builder.
Although the number of construction engineers is smaller than the three major basic production occupations, there is no reason why we cannot receive even one application or resume.
After Hang Yu thought carefully.
He soon understood what the problem was.
Because the facilities of different races are very different, even if they have the same functions, the formations may be very different.
This also means that a builder can most likely only specialize in the construction facilities and formation systems of one race.
And humans are a weak race.
The demand for builders is low.
Because of this, most builders will most likely study other types of buildings and formations for their own future.
Therefore.
When Hang Yu released recruitment information.
After so many days, no one applied for the position, which resulted in the territory's construction engineer position remaining vacant.
"Although I knew that there was a shortage of builders who were proficient in human territory, I never expected that the shortage would be such that I couldn't recruit even one!"
Hang Yu was a little embarrassed.
What should we do?
We can only continue to increase recruitment salaries!
at the same time.
Hang Yu posted a message on the Humane Alliance's communication channel, hoping to use the contacts in the human lord organization to help him find a reliable territory builder.
(PS: It’s Monday! Please vote! In addition, I have more time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so the author will make up for the chapter that was missed before!)
