Chapter 97 Obtaining Important Intelligence! The Video Has Gone Viral!
Woniu Mountain is definitely more than just a mountain. The area of this map is several times that of the Luoshui Base Camp area, with towns and villages of all sizes distributed within thousands of square kilometers.
According to known intelligence.
There is a county called Shansang County in the southwest of the local area.
During the late Han Dynasty, the population of this small town once reached 20,000 to 30,000. Although the population has dropped sharply due to the influence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the advent of the Abyss Nightmare, it is said that there are still nearly 10,000 people living in it.
After the Dragon Lizards came to the Woniu Mountain area, they naturally discovered this city quickly, but they launched several attacks in succession, but they all returned in vain and failed to break the city. It can be seen that its defense is very strong.
Hang Yu is also a lord.
As long as he is a lord, it is impossible not to be interested in expanding territory and madly grabbing land.
Although Shansang County is just an inconspicuous county, if it can be captured, it will bring rich benefits and greatly increase the upper limit of the population that the territory can accommodate.
A strong attack is not advisable.
The Dragon Lizards failed to capture this city.
The troops in Hang Yu's hands are far from comparable to those of the Dragon Lizards.
Since it is impossible to attack by force.
Then we can only use our wits to defeat them.
Hang Yu has an advantage that the Dragon Lizard Lord does not have. He and his people are also human beings, and there is Zhou Ji, a group of native NPCs who are familiar with the local area. Under this circumstance, he can completely sneak into the city and then find a way from inside.
This may not be easy.
But Hang Yu believes in the wisdom of the players.
The strongest fortresses are captured from the inside.
Shansang County is not a famous city, but just an ordinary county town. The garrison commander must not be a famous minister or general of the time, so it is impossible that there are no flaws at all.
Hang Yu asked: "How much do you know about Zhou Cang in Woniu Mountain?"
The demons and monsters replied: "Zhou Ji claimed that he was adopted by Zhou Cang as his son thirty years ago. At that time, Zhou Cang had been polluted and had become distorted and demonized."
"Based on the information Zhou Cang provided at that time and our visits to many old villagers, it can now be basically confirmed that Zhou Cang was one of the first people in the Woniu Mountain area to be polluted by the abyss."
"However, Zhou Cang had walked around many times on days other than the darkest day, and even lived with Zhou Ji for a long time, which shows that Zhou Cang could never be the core pollution source."
Hang Yu corrected: "In fact, the core polluters do not have to wait until the darkest day to leave the core area."
The demons and monsters were stunned.
This was obviously unexpected.
Hang Yu explained: "Some Abyss Evil can expand their activity radius through special means. In addition, if the Star Lord is unfortunately defeated, once the Star Heart he possesses is absorbed by the Evil, it can also allow the Core Polluter to break free from restrictions, and even have a certain probability of transforming into a special Abyss Lord."
It's dry goods!
The demons and monsters widened their eyes.
I accidentally got important setting information again!
Hang Yu paused and continued: "Of course, from the information obtained now, it is really unlikely that Zhou Cang is the core pollution source. I am afraid that a stronger or more suitable target has been selected by the Abyss Will."
The demons and monsters nodded and continued: "The last time Zhou Cang appeared in people's vision was fifteen years ago. According to Zhou Ji, Zhou Cang entered Woniu Mountain at that time and never came out since then."
Zhou Cang went to the core pollution area?
And never came out again?
"Has this area changed since then?"
"It is said that since Zhou Cang entered Woniu Mountain, the pollution in this area seems to be suppressed. The abyss creatures in the core pollution area have not spread the pollution even on the Dark Day."
Hang Yu thought: "Could it be that Zhou Cang used some method to block the pollution area? No wonder the dragon lizard lord on the opposite side can calmly control most of the territory in this place. It turns out that he doesn't have to worry about the impact and threat of the Dark Day at all."
Although the specific details of the Woniu Mountain area are still unknown.
But from the information already obtained, at least two pieces of information can be summarized.
First, Zhou Cang had not been completely corrupted at least fifteen years ago, and it is highly likely that he is not the core source of nightmare pollution here.
Second, the pollution in the core pollution area of Woniu Mountain has been suppressed. Although there are still large and small secondary pollution sources in other areas, the pollution capacity of the secondary pollution sources is limited and the threat caused is not great.
This is why.
The pollution sources in the Woniu Mountain area are obviously stronger and have been polluted for a longer time, but there seems to be no particularly serious reason.
As for who the big boss of Woniu Mountain is, and what kind of hidden secrets are hidden, we can only wait for the right time to send people into Woniu Mountain to find out.
The demons and monsters reported some other information.
These information were all obtained from Zhou Ji and local villagers, which was very helpful for Hang Yu to understand the local pollution situation in Woniu Mountain and the distribution of the power of the Dragon Lizard Lord.
After the demons and monsters left.
Hang Yu checked the current resource reserves.
Xiao Ba immediately reported: "The current resource reserves are: Abyss Magic Crystal 4489, First-level Food 10345, First-level Materials 8521, First-level Material Essence 4456, Abyss Essence 174650."
The current resources are not much.
But the growth trend is very fierce.
After all, the second test has only been opened for two days.
The crazy monster killing and self-destruction of hundreds of players have brought a lot of food and material income to the territory.
Hang Yu glanced at the log panel again.
[Player "Little Lamb" has died, Essence +100...]
[Player "Iron Blood Real Man" has died, Essence +150...]
[Player "Sow Care Master" has died, Essence +400...]
The frequency of death of new players is quite high.
Even without a group of main players such as Black Eyed Ruige participating in high-risk operations and battles, Hang Yu can earn tens of thousands of Essence every day, and as the player level gets higher and higher, the income is also increasing.
In addition to these general resources.
There are quite a few equipment and high-level materials in stock.
There are more than 500 pieces of white-quality equipment alone, some of which are directly exploded from the backpack when the player dies, and some are voluntarily handed over by the player in exchange for contribution points.
This is not all the white-quality equipment in the territory.
There are also quite a few players who are using and collecting them.
The territory can accumulate so many equipment.
The main reason is that the player has a tenfold explosion rate.
When players hunt humanoid elite monsters such as the Yellow Turban Monster Soldiers, almost every monster will drop at least one piece of equipment.
But if there is no blessing from heaven, only one piece of equipment will be dropped for every ten or so, so for most lords, excellent equipment is still valuable and scarce.
After a little thought.
Hang Yu left the more practical equipment.
To be distributed to the majority of players as future mission prizes.
He put the rest on the trading market at the price of 15-20 magic crystals for white quality equipment and 1-2 magic crystals for gray top-quality equipment.
Because the quality of this batch of equipment is generally mediocre or low, the current selling price is obviously several times higher than the market price. If there are lords willing to buy at a premium, of course there is no problem, anyway, he is not the one who is being cheated, but Hang Yu is not coming for the magic crystals.
Hang Yu specifically marked in the transaction list that he would accept the exchange of blueprints and skill stones. If a lord urgently needs a large number of equipment for the armed forces and happens to have good blueprints or skill stones, he can use these resources to exchange directly.
"I hope to receive one or two good drawings."
Hang Yu's territory has been developed for a short time, and its functions are not complete at present. Not to mention various rare buildings, even the buildings in the core of the territory have not been built.
He opened the construction column and glanced.
[Government Hall], a first-level building, construction cost 400 magic crystals, 800 first-level material essences, and the current number of buildings that can be built is 0/1.
[Hero Hall], a first-level building, construction cost 500 magic crystals, 1000 first-level material essences, and the current number of buildings that can be built is 0/1.
[Abyss Post], a first-level building, construction cost 1000 magic crystals, 2500 first-level material essences, and the current number of buildings that can be built is 0/1.
[……]
[Star Teleport Station], a first-level building, construction cost 3000 magic crystals, 10000 first-level material essences, and the current number of buildings that can be built is 0/1.
The function of the government hall is to recruit civilian management personnel for the territory, and the function of the hero hall is to recruit military generals, that is, the so-called hero units, for the territory. The dragon lizard man Black Fang is a general recruited by the dragon lizard lord.
These two buildings, like the trading hall, are part of the lord's hall. The functions they can bring are indispensable for many territories, but they are dispensable for Hang Yu at this stage.
First of all, Hang Yu's territory is currently small in scale, with little land and limited output.
In this case, there is no need to hire management personnel at all.
As for the military generals? The players under Hang Yu have excessive self-awareness and manage themselves. There is no need to recruit generals to lead the action for the time being. Moreover, the price of recruiting such combatants is very expensive and not cost-effective for the territory.
Instead of recruiting professionals from the stars.
It is better to absorb famous ministers and generals from the three countries of the abyss.
Although Hang Yu has no plans to recruit actively for the time being, as a basic component of the lord's hall, it is necessary to build them as soon as possible to meet the basic conditions for the upgrade of the lord's hall.
[You built the government hall! ]
[You built the hero hall! 】
A total of 900 magic crystals and 1800 material essences were consumed.
This expenditure is nothing for Hang Yu now.
As for the Abyss Post and the Star Teleport Station, they are also very useful territory buildings. The latter can allow the lord to return from the Abyss to the Star Land on the day of the return of the stars, and the former can establish a material transportation channel between the Abyss and the Stars.
Hang Yu wanted to build a Star Teleport Station so that he could return to the Star Land at a specific time to visit Principal Long and meet his former classmates and friends, but it is really expensive and cannot be built now.
Besides, the return day only occurs once a month at most.
It is estimated that the next appearance will be more than ten days, and it will not be used even if it is built.
In addition to these buildings, there are several defensive buildings in the core of the territory, such as defense towers and arrow towers, which mainly have the function of protecting the territory and resisting foreign enemies.
In addition to the construction of new buildings.
Upgrading existing buildings is also necessary.
When a building advances from level one to level two, its function will become more powerful.
For example, if a first-level refinery workshop can be upgraded to a second-level refinery workshop, five permanent refiners can be recruited at the same time. Another example is that if a first-level barracks can be upgraded to a second-level barracks, the number of people that can be added will also increase several times, which is a good way to effectively increase the population limit of the territory.
However, there are conditions for upgrading some buildings.
For example, if Hang Yu wants to upgrade the Abyss Barracks, he must not only prepare a lot of magic crystals and second-level materials, but also build at least fifteen first-level barracks in the territory, which is obviously impossible to achieve under the current situation.
"I have to hurry up and take Shansang County!"
Since the threat of the Abyss creatures has been suppressed.
It is not too late to gain a foothold in the Woniu Mountain area first and then purify the pollution source.
Hang Yu decided to focus on dealing with the Dragon Lizard Lord and seizing Shansang County in the next few days.
After this lesson, the Dragon Lizard Lord will definitely become extremely cautious and go all out to launch a blockade. At present, the gap in strength between the two sides is relatively large, and Hang Yu has no base in the Woniu Mountain area and is not suitable for fighting.
But as long as Shansang County can be taken.
The Scourge Legion will gain a solid base in the Woniu Mountain area!
This will not only bring huge benefits to the territory and allow the territory's power to be fully improved, but also make the confrontation with the Dragon Lizard Lord much easier.
Hang Yu has already made a plan.
Specific actions can be arranged later.
He then spent about 1,500 magic crystals and 3,000 material essences to upgrade the walls of the territory, warehouses and other non-level buildings, and built a reconnaissance tower in the center of the territory to prevent enemy units from lurking in and causing damage.
After taking care of the internal affairs.
Hang Yu habitually opened the game forum.
Checking the forum every day and posting with a vest is not only a way to relax in daily life, but also a way to understand the latest experience of players in the process, so as to collect various feedback and new suggestions.
At this moment.
In the game forum.
The latest topic is the rescue operation.
Last night, Chimei Wangliang and Heitong Ruige posted in the forum, which caused a lot of discussion. This caused many cloud players to pay close attention to the progress of this mission. The whole process was thrilling and full of twists and turns, just like chasing a drama.
Because the information is not timely and synchronized.
The news on the forum is often delayed.
This led to rumors flying all over the place during the operation.
One moment someone broke the news that the player team was wiped out, and the next moment someone said that all the villagers were killed and the mission failed, which made the mentality of a group of cloud players also go on a roller coaster.
Seeing this.
Hang Yu couldn't help but think.
Perhaps you can add another plug-in to the player panel.
Let players log in to the forum through the holographic panel like themselves during the adventure of the Abyss Three Kingdoms, so that they don't have to exit the game in time, and can interact with the water friends in the forum to chat, publish messages and information.
This is not a technically difficult task for Xiao Ba.
Of course, the implantation process cannot be too hard, it is best to design a prop, so that you can collect a wave of fees.
As a game planner, Hang Yu has been constantly collecting opinions since the game started internal testing, so as to make the world of the Abyss Three Kingdoms more like an excellent game within his ability.
Team formation function, game screenshots, friend system, map function, etc. are all the results of the development of the functions of the Tiandao Rubik's Cube.
Only by working hard to improve the game experience.
Can more people be addicted to it.
At this time, more information exploded in the forum and caused discussion.
Especially when a 10-second short video of Hang Yu and Zhou Ji's duel was released, it immediately ignited the entire forum and quickly went viral, becoming a hot topic that the entire network was paying attention to.
Some players actually shot videos in the game?
This is a very expensive and extravagant behavior!
But the video quality is amazing!
Whether it is the clarity that is not inferior to that of professional cameras, or the effect presented by the video content, it is in no way inferior to first-class special effects action blockbusters, enough to kill all game promotional CGs on the market.
It's hard not to get popular with such content!
