Chapter 19

Ye Bai only stayed in the capsule hotel for one day and did not renew the contract. The tenth day in the game was exactly when her room lease expired.

Before leaving the hotel, Ye Bai took another shower and then changed to a free bench in the park area. Since it was early enough, there was still a spot available.

Who would have thought that even though 'Bai Ye' was already a lord in the Ten Thousand Worlds, he was still sleeping on the street in reality... Uh, that's not right. There is no lord's mansion in the game. The villagers all have their own houses, and their lord is also a 'wanderer'.

Tsk, it feels even worse when I think about it.

【You have a new message】

Just before entering the game, Ye Bai suddenly received new message.

This made Ye Bai feel nervous. Reality was different from the Star Network. The messages received here would only be sent to Ye Bai, not Bai Ye.

Moreover, the message could not have been sent by his good friend Aurora. The galaxy where the Fantasy Sea civilization is located is on the first spiral arm of the Milky Way. Aurora could take a spaceship back and use the wormhole to jump, and it might take him ten days or half a month to arrive.

But if it doesn't go through the star network, it would be like the difference between modern networks and ancient post station communications. Even if it uses what would have been considered super-fast transmission technology ten thousand years ago, it would take Ye Bai at least two months to receive the message from Aurora on Blue Star.

Could it be that the Blue Star Council discovered something?

Ye Bai opened the message with trepidation. After seeing the content, he was slightly stunned, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The information came from the group on Makul Star, which was the escape route Ye Bai prepared for himself when he just left the laboratory a week ago.

That was the only invitation among the thousands of resumes Ye Bai sent out.

Originally, after Aurora left, Ye Bai planned to set off for Markul Star, but he didn't expect to see the GG card of "Wanjie" afterwards, so the plan to apply for the job naturally came to nothing.

This kind of two-way job invitation does not necessarily require a response, especially for cross-galaxy recruitment. Starnet accounts are expensive, information transmission takes a long time, and often the answer can be determined by whether the person shows up or not.

Ye Bai thought that if the other party didn't see him applying for the job, they would cancel the matter, but he didn't expect that they would continue to send him messages.

However, after reading the content, Ye Bai understood the reason.

The content of the email was to ask Ye Bai if she was still on Blue Star and whether she would accept the job, and further increased her salary and benefits. Their company's spacecraft was passing through the wormhole of the solar system and would stay for a day, so they could pick her up and save on travel expenses.

The wormhole in the solar system is the second largest transportation hub in the Milky Way, and countless spacecraft use it as a springboard for interstellar travel.

It is normal for a spaceship from the planet Makul to ask her a question when it passes by.

But of course Ye Bai would not go to the interstellar zoo to be a monkey again. After replying a polite refusal message, Ye Bai drank some nutrient solution, lay down and returned to the game again.

The village was under orderly construction and after upgrading its [Exploration], iron and copper resources were discovered in the mountainous terrain in the southwest of the territory.

This was a factor that Ye Bai had taken into consideration when he first decided to designate the southwest part of the territory as an industrial zone. Ore, as an essential material for the development of the territory, is not difficult to find. It can be found in almost all mountainous terrains. The only difference is the reserves.

Even if the reserves are not high, it is definitely enough to cope with the initial development of the territory. When the territory expands in the later stage, it is only a matter of time to find new mountains to open mines.

Originally, the best resources for this link were iron ore and coal, but Ye Bai already had the highest-level source energy crystal ore, so it didn't matter if there was no coal.

Seeing that the mine was under construction normally and the market was nearing completion, Ye Bai came to the Source Energy Crystal Mine with satisfaction.

Standing in this place of 'proof of good fortune', and taking a shower and changing clothes in a capsule hotel, all for this special moment -

Identify legendary architectural blueprints!

After choosing the [Identification] talent at level 15, Ye Bai was busy preparing for the territory upgrade and did not open the blind box immediately. Now that he has dealt with the monster siege, it is time to see what this spectacular building is.

Although it may not be built now, it is still nice to feast your eyes on it!

[You obtain the equipment blueprint 'Night Walker']

First, he opened a blue drawing whose result he knew to improve his luck. Ye Bai took a deep breath and then used "Identify" on the golden drawing.

You obtain the architectural blueprint 'Well of Origin'.

The well of origin?

The well of origin!

How to get this building?!

After receiving the system message, Ye Bai's expectant expression suddenly changed, and he stood there in a daze, full of disbelief.

Ye Bai's state at this time was not much different from the gg in "Wanjie" she saw in the sky when she left the laboratory.

Because the building called "Well of Origin" should not appear in "Ten Thousand Worlds" at this time.

It is indeed a legendary building, and a very important and precious legendary building, but it is not included in this version's 'Legendary Building Deluxe Package'.

Because the [Well of Origin] is part of the next major version of the "Ten Thousand Worlds" plan, and it is a building that will only appear in the expansion pack "Broken God's Court".

"Broken God's Court" is a story on another large map. It is an advanced map that can only be entered after the third transformation. Although it is not yet in the "New Folder", it is indeed only in the planning stage and is a major plan for the next version after the public beta.

Even the expansion pack's map and the core code for generating NPC behavior only exist on Ye Bai's personal computer!

In this unbeta version of the Myriad Worlds that Ye Bai is currently familiar with, there should only be some hidden foreshadowings regarding the Broken Divine Court.

The most typical example is the origin of each player's identity as a 'divine-blooded person'. Each player is born in a damaged teleportation array and comes with a void gate (dungeon key) that can obtain the Seed of Creation, revealing their identity as outsiders. Every 5 levels, their talents increase, their divine blood grows, and the process of becoming stronger and stronger is the process of reaching divine power.

In the worldview of Ten Thousand Worlds, countless small worlds are like a string of bubbles merged together. The source of all bubbles is the big bubble of the Divine Realm. At the data level, each individual bubble is a server, and the Divine Realm is a special public server prepared for the future where all server players can enter and exit with their character data.

In the background setting, "Broken God's Court" is as the name suggests, the God Realm is in a state of collapse and fragmentation due to the war between powerful gods. Players are descendants who have taken refuge from the God Realm. After becoming stronger, they can return to the God Realm and choose to change, save, or destroy that world.

If the main fun of the first major version of Wanjie is management, the second version is fantasy adventure, attributing great power to oneself, and coupled with the special world mechanism, both lords and non-lord players can find new fun in it. The most important point is that the player's behavior can truly affect the direction of that world.

The Well of Origin will appear in the special wonder, the Void Corridor, which is refreshed every month outside of large cities in the Broken Gods expansion pack.

This is a ladder-style dungeon. Players need to overcome all levels to reach the final [Well of Origin] and enter the broken realm of gods.

However, the energy of the Well of Origin is limited, that is, only the first 100 people in each world (server) can enter at a time.

This special building is naturally of golden mythical grade, but it obviously should not appear in the list of legendary buildings that a lord can obtain, even if only one can be built - you can't let any lord charge admission for it, right?

...Is it a bug? Ye Bai didn't know. She only knew that the Myriad Worlds before her was becoming less and less simple than she knew.

What made Ye Bai's heart beat wildly was the construction materials of the Well of Origin:

Source Energy Crystal X100

Essence X1

[Divine Essence] is a legendary material that can only be obtained by killing a target with the identity of a "divine creature". Monsters with this identity will only appear in the map of the divine realm, and they are all BOSS-level targets. Elite monsters are not qualified, so it can be said that it is very difficult to obtain.

But... Ye Bai happened to have a [Philosopher's Stone] in his hand that could replace any material.

Ye Bai was silent for a moment and did not immediately build a precious legendary building.

Although it may sound a bit suspicious to say this, the excessive number of coincidences made Ye Bai feel inexplicably "arranged".

Moreover, the territory’s current reserves of the 100 source energy crystals needed for construction were insufficient, so Ye Bai planned to accumulate them and use them first for trading with traveling merchants when they arrived.

During the day on the fourth game day after the market was built, Ye Bai, who was checking a batch of newly made equipment in the blacksmith shop, suddenly heard the exclamations of the residents outside.

"Um?"

When Ye Bai walked out of the door, he saw that the villagers were all looking up at the sky. He was moved and looked up as well.

Sure enough, a huge hot air balloon was seen in the sky, slowly floating over the territory and landing towards the market in the residential area with great purpose.

Ye Bai was delighted: The traveling merchant has arrived!

There is a reward when you use the [Traveling Merchant] policy card for the first time. The traveling merchant will arrive quickly and the things he brings are likely to be good things.

Yes, the details of the Wanjie design are still logical. Before the trade routes are explored and opened, even the merchants arranged by the system cannot "walk" into the territory of the Wilderness Lord player. If a wandering merchant walks in, then as long as you follow the other party's footsteps, can't you find a safe trade route?

So traveling merchants traveled between cities in hot air balloons.

As Ye Bai approached the market, he saw from afar a middle-aged man in colorful clothes, carrying a bag on his back, walking down from a hot air balloon.

Ye Bai looked at the bundle with envy, what a pity——

In Wanjie, there is no setting of "unattackable characters", and players can be outlaws who kill anyone they see.

For example, after killing a traveling merchant, you can purchase all the items in his backpack for free, and even get this hot air balloon.

However, there will be a huge price to pay.

All towns that trade with traveling merchants will have their favorability towards the player and their territory reduced by 50. This will directly result in the player being listed as hostile by the town as long as the favorability of the town is not increased to 50, and will be hunted down by the city gate guards before entering the territory.

For territory players, the territory reputation value that will be displayed after the opening of external trade routes will also be reduced by 100. Even if policy cards are continued to be equipped in the future, traveling merchants will no longer come to the territory. What is more disastrous is that even if normal trade routes are opened in the future, the time interval for all external merchants to come to the territory will increase threefold, and the overall level of the items they carry will be reduced by one level.

This is a price that any player who wants to manage the territory seriously cannot afford, so normal players can only envy the traveling merchant's magical bag, which is even bigger than the upgraded space backpack.

When Ye Bai arrived at the market, just like the other villagers, the traveling merchant could immediately identify her as a lord without any additional introduction:

"Hello, respected lord. I am a traveling merchant. Is there anything in your territory you would like to trade with me?"

“Swish!”

As he spoke, Ye Bai's vision was like opening his backpack. Thirty more grids filled with items of various levels appeared in his vision. The dazzling array of items was dizzying to look at.

I finished writing early today, good night everyone~
