Chapter 47
Felix didn't have much energy, so he said hello to Ye Bai and fell asleep again.
Although this villager carries a personal mission that Ye Bai both loves and hates, since it has not been triggered, he will put it aside for now and wait until the other party recovers from his illness.
After seeing the patient, Ye Bai and Lucy walked out of the herbal medicine room together.
At this time, Ye Bai was very glad that he built the herbal medicine house as soon as possible, and Lucy was also very helpful, so the plague did not spread to the entire territory.
At that time, she left the territory because of the kidnapping by the Makul Group. In the absence of effective management by the lord, the herbal medicine reserves in the territory were definitely not enough to cope with a plague.
Just a little bit, when Ye Bai returned to the territory, it would be a completely different scene——
If the disease is allowed to spread in the territory, there is currently no effective treatment method. It is necessary to spend a lot of money to buy special medicine from NPC towns with more advanced medical technology.
At this time, Ye Bai was optimistic about Felix's illness.
The descendants of the sun are a strong bloodline and are a veritable elite growth template among NPCs. Judging from the various attribute values of Felix just now, he is in a slow recovery period and there is no big problem.
However, since they were already here, Ye Bai took out a prop from his backpack and handed it to Lucy.
"Sir, this is..." Lucy took the pale golden liquid in a bottle no bigger than her palm. Her talent allowed her to sense the special power contained in it. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "Is this for Felix's treatment?"
Ye Bai shook his head: "No, it's for you to drink."
Lucy: “Huh?”
Being in the herbal medicine building, Ye Bai can check Lucy's career panel progress at any time.
After the herbal medicine shop was built, Lucy began to treat villagers from the entire territory. Minor ailments like colds and sprained ankles had already helped her accumulate a lot of proficiency as an [herbalist]. This time, treating Felix's epidemic disease was even more difficult, so her proficiency increased a lot. Her current proficiency bar has reached about 80%.
Ye Bai estimated that if Felix's disease was cured, Lucy would be able to change her job directly.
So she took out a portion of [Blood of Transformation] and gave it to Lucy to use.
If this thing is used on villagers without talents, the direction of awakening talents will be random. However, if it is used on villagers who already have special talents, there is a high probability that it will be related to the previous talents, or it will be directly strengthened.
Moreover, the Blood of Transformation has a hidden mechanism, which is that it tends to produce talents that are highly compatible with the current villagers' professions.
It can be said to be a good thing specially used to cultivate territory professionals, and is one of the hard currencies traded among lord players.
Under Ye Bai's insistence, although Lucy was surprised, she still obediently took the blood of transformation.
Shortly after Lucy took the blood of transformation, a golden light that only Ye Bai could see flashed across Lucy's body.
With a look of wonder on her face, she subconsciously looked down at her hands and feet. "My Lord, this is truly miraculous. I cannot describe how I feel right now... The world seems to be clearer."
Ye Bai was also quite excited at this time. With the anticipation of opening a blind box, he used the Identify skill on Lucy.
Character: Lucy
Identity: Baiye Villager
Level: 7
Talents: Plant Affinity, Healing Light III, Sensitive Perception
Healing Light III!
Ye Bai's eyes lit up. It was a deal! She'd (thought she) sacrificed her luck by finding the corpse of the Crocodile King BOSS. Healing Light III appeared, and this bottle of Transformation Blood was a great value.
When the Healing Light level is raised to level 3, Lucy becomes a 'real' mobile healing aura, which will allow Felix to heal faster, meaning she can become a pro faster.
In addition, sensitive perception is also a good talent. The effect is to increase the success rate of precision work by 15%. Whether it is the current work of the herbalist or the future [potion master] that Ye Bai wants to train Lucy to be, the main work is to make various potions. This talent can reduce the loss of materials caused by Lucy's failed production.
After leaving the herbal medicine shop, Ye Bai went to find two other villagers with exclamation marks on their heads.
The two people are a man and a woman, named Calvin and Nitia.
"Calvin, from today on you will go to work in the tailor shop. Ms. Dilina will guide you."
"As for Nitia... you will go to work in the market for the time being. I will arrange a more suitable position for you in the future."
After seeing the talents of the two, Ye Bai reassigned them jobs.
Although the territory was "entrusted" to Carrie when she was away, she was not as comprehensive as Lord Ye Bai, so she could only assign work to the new villagers according to the arrangements made before she left.
Although Calvin is a man, his talent is [Dexterity]. The effect of this talent is to increase his proficiency by 30% and the output quality by 15% when doing delicate work.
Delicate work includes weaving, sewing, carving, and pottery making. However, given the situation in the territory and the presence of Dilina, a senior tailor, Ye Bai didn't have to think too much about it and sent Calvin directly to the tailor shop.
A tailor shop in a territory cannot be run by just one person. Ordinary workers can be responsible for the clothing of the villagers in the territory, while tailors can make more advanced combat equipment.
Another person, Nitia, who was temporarily arranged by Ye Bai to go to the market, has a more special talent.
[Charmer]: Increases the attractiveness of consumer buildings by 35% and gains 15% additional income.
Among all the special talents, the Charmer is a relatively special one. It cannot be upgraded again with the Blood of Transformation, but if its effects are used well, it can play a big role.
As the name suggests, consumer-oriented buildings are service industries that can attract consumption from local residents and tourists.
Baiye Village is still a basic level 1 territory, and the residents' entertainment needs are still in a state of being forcibly banned by policy cards. Only the market can be regarded as a semi-consumer building. However, after upgrading to a level 2 territory, it is necessary to meet the residents' entertainment needs. Breweries and taverns under the [Brewery] technology must be built.
By that time, letting Nitia work as a waitress in a tavern would make more money than working as a vendor in the market. However, this was not Ye Bai's final arrangement for her.
The extra income effect of the Charmer is a waste of talent if it is used in the market and tavern. When the territory is upgraded to a town and the [Theater] building can be built, Ye Bai will let Nitia be a drama actor there, which is the real way to maximize the effect of the talent.
Moreover, if one works in a theater and is skilled enough to become a professional [Drama Actor], their skill proficiency is also known as "fame". Well-known drama actors will be sought after by the nobles. Having a theater territory is one of the basic conditions for attracting nobles to settle in the territory.
After arranging the two special talents, Ye Bai made another adjustment to the work distribution in the territory.
Before leaving with the traveling merchant, Ye Bai asked Carrie to arrange the new labor force to build the source energy crystal mine and residential houses.
A basic dwelling can accommodate 4 people. There are now 62 dwellings in the territory, which is enough to accommodate the new population tomorrow. At the same time, the output of the source energy crystal mine is also very gratifying because a large amount of labor has been allocated. So far, there are 43 crude source energy crystals, 67 ordinary source energy crystals, and 2 fine source energy crystals.
Ye Bai remembered the construction blueprint for the [Origin Well] in the warehouse. It required 100 ordinary-grade Origin Energy Crystals, and it would probably be built in no time...
Coming back to his senses, Ye Bai turned on the 'Architecture Mode' again and began some obsessive grid planning.
In the agricultural area, near the main road, a mill was built to grind grain into flour. Near the hunter's cabin and pasture, a smokehouse was built to store raw meat for a longer period of time. Finally, in the middle of the residential area, a bakery was built to use flour and firewood to make bread.
Currently, the residents of the territory have been eating the lowest-grade "coarse food". Long-term use of this food will make it difficult to improve the health value of the territory, and will also affect the productivity of the territory. As the territory level increases, eating coarse food will also lead to a decrease in villagers' satisfaction.
After all, it is understandable that the conditions were poor when the village was first built. Now that the territory has expanded, no one would be happy if everyone is left to eat porridge.
The three food processing buildings that Ye Bai has built now meet the basic level of the "town" level, which can be said to be a precautionary measure.
In addition, Ye Bai also built a [pottery workshop] and a [brick factory] in the industrial zone, and built a [clay mine] about two hundred meters away from the maximum range of the territory.
[Clay Mine] is one of the basic mines, but it can only be built on wet land near a river.
Baiye Village is quite far away from the nearest river, and this is the nearest site for a clay mine.
It is not impossible to build buildings outside the territory, but it is easy to be attacked by wild beasts outside the territory. For this reason, Ye Bai waited until the [Basic Defense Construction] was unlocked before starting to build the clay mine, just to build an arrow tower next to it for defense.
Of course, after allocating these functional buildings, Ye Bai gave priority to arranging the most labor force on the wooden fences that had been planned previously - this was related to the important matter of capturing wildebeests after upgrading the territory.
After doing all this, the night of this game day fell.
Ye Bai looked at the quiet territory and the villagers who were chatting and laughing as they went home to sleep. The corner of her mouth twitched suddenly... Speaking of which, she, the lord, didn't even have a formal residence in the territory!
In fact, if Ye Bai wanted, he could also build a [Temporary Village Center] for himself at this stage, but that building would consume a lot of resources, and when Baiye Village was upgraded to Baiye Town, it would become ineffective. There would be a more powerful and convenient new building [Mayor's Office] as a replacement.
Therefore, Ye Bai, who wanted to achieve his goal in one step, has been living as a "refugee" in his own territory.
Since there was nothing to do at night, Ye Bai logged off and prepared to return to reality to exercise.
As a result, when Ye Bai returned to the Star Network and opened the cosmic news to take a look at the content, he saw that the name "Bai Ye" appeared frequently in the news again.
[A player who changed his job suddenly appeared in Melo City, suspected to be Bai Ye]
[The person involved came forward to say: I may have robbed Bai Ye's caravan]
[On the impact of negative merchant guild favorability]
[Baiye Village may be near Melo City]
[Xin Ouxing sincerely asks Bai Ye to buy the job change strategy]
Ye Bai: ...Wow!
