Chapter 50

The wildebeest's piercing damage is very devastating when applied to living creatures, but it is not effective when applied to buildings.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

“Law, law, law…”

Each collision would cause the wildebeest's horn to become embedded in the wooden fence, and then it would take a certain amount of time to pull the horn out by shaking its head.

At the same time, due to the influence of the Flower of Creation, every time they were pulled out, they seemed to have forgotten their previous experiences and continued to bang their heads against the wall. When their horns got stuck, they would pull their heads out again and again, over and over again. They looked stupid and even a little cute.

There is no need to worry about whether the wooden fence will be damaged.

Although wooden fences are made of wood, they are also basic [fortifications]. Each attack of the wildebeest damages the durability, causing a maximum of 5 points of damage. The durability of each fence is 300. This type of facility requires special [siege equipment] to cause effective damage.

To be on the safe side, Ye Bai made a double-layer wooden fence, so if one side fell down, there would still be another side.

More importantly, the durability of the fortifications can be repaired by villagers using tools. If the durability of both layers is very low, just find another villager to repair it and it will be a good wall again.

However, looking at the sky, it wasn't long before dawn, and Ye Bai felt that these considerations were unnecessary.

After daybreak, when the upgraded effect of the Tree of Creation wears off, the wildebeests will return to a neutral state. As long as no one attacks them, they will not even break through the wooden fence, but will move around inside.

In this way, it is equivalent to Ye Bai artificially "migrating" the wildebeest herd's refresh point to his own territory.

As for Dennis, who rushed back to the Merchant Guild just to catch a herd of wildebeests... Ye Bai could only wish them good luck.

"call……"

After dealing with the most critical wildebeest problem, Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at other situations in the territory.

The wolves had been dealt with long ago, and the wild boars were also clearing the battlefield. Only the brown bears were left with a little skin left, and their numbers were steadily decreasing.

Apart from that, there seemed to be no other monsters around.

That’s it?

These are the monsters after two levels?

Ye Bai was still a little alert at first, preventing any further movement, but he waited until the sky turned white and the outline of the sun of a new day appeared, but no monster like a BOSS appeared.

Apart from a few nervous moments with the wildebeest, the evening was quite relaxing!

Although it was a good and relaxing thing, Ye Bai couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of disappointment.

But think about it, this situation is normal - the upgrade rhythm of Baiye Village is relatively too frequent, so that the 'refresh speed' of the surrounding monsters cannot keep up.

The first time Ye Bai upgraded, he did not delay or drive away the enemy, but instead prepared to "clear" the surrounding beasts. The beast group also had to follow some basic laws. The original group had completely disappeared, and it was impossible for a large group to appear in a few days.

The wildebeest herd and the crocodile herd further away that should have been the main force in this territory upgrade were trapped in Ye Bai's trap, and one was cleared out in advance when the trade route was opened. As a result, the territory was upgraded twice in a row, and only two or three big cats and small cats came, which was quite unremarkable in Ye Bai's eyes.

"Huh... okay." Ye Bai stretched and began the finishing work after upgrading the territory.

And on the other side is Ruilan Village.

"Huh..." Zeta breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the sky finally brighten, indicating that the effect of the Flower of Creation had disappeared.

However, looking at the current situation in the territory, she felt like crying but had no tears.

Knowing that there would be a wild beast attack, she put a lot of manpower into the blacksmith shop, temporarily made basic weapons, and distributed them to the villagers to deal with the danger.

Unlike Ye Bai, who was not as "lucky", the only ones that attacked Ruilan Village that night were wild wolves and wild boars.

Zeta was well aware of the importance of the villagers. Under her effective organization, no villagers died in the attack, only a few were slightly injured. Zeta even took part in the attack herself and killed many wild wolves that came to the Tree of Creation.

And the wild boar... Zeta still gritted his teeth when he thought about it.

Because the territory's food reserves have always been relatively small, Zeta did not build a cellar to store food. All the food was placed in an open-air stockpile like other materials. Unexpectedly, the wild boar's greed for food was the top priority when it was mad.

The herd of wild boars that entered Ruilan Village discovered the food first, so they did not attack the Tree of Creation. Instead, they swarmed over and ate up all the limited food stored in the territory, not even sparing the farmland.

Under the effect of the flowering of the Tree of Creation, the crops in the territory's farmland were ripened prematurely. Due to lack of experience and being busy organizing the villagers to make weapons, Zeta did not harvest the crops immediately.

Therefore, on this night, the two newly reclaimed farmlands were ravaged by wild boars. Before Zeta could identify what the newly grown crops were, they were all eaten down to only a piece of stalk left.

Zeta was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had to lead the villagers to deal with the wild wolves first, and could not take care of the wild boars that were farther away.

By the time she had dealt with the troublesome wolves and had some free time, the night was over.

This group of wild boars, having eaten up all the edible things in their territory, no longer attacked the village. They left a mess on the ground and fled in all directions with a grunt!

During this territory upgrade, Zeta's territory lost a lot of food, and also spent a lot of resources that should have been used for territory construction on making weapons. Even the corpses of wild wolves as harvest could not make up for the losses.

What's worse is that when Zeta opened the upgraded technology tree, he saw no buildings related to the trade route except for a market.

So...how did Bai Ye do it?

Zeta went offline, and when she returned to reality, needless to say, all her experiences of the territory upgrade that night were automatically shared with the research team members waiting on the side.

Everyone's expression changed from expectation to ugliness.

At the same time, Zeta also learned that outside the game, Ximo, a member of the Kain Federation, sent her a "congratulatory message" congratulating her on upgrading her territory.

After upgrading the territory, Zeta's territory score soared from 46 to 89. Ximo, who could see the upgrade conditions on the [Development Strategy] page, naturally knew that Zeta must have been upgraded.

Two points of this congratulatory message are out of courtesy as a powerful being of the same cosmic civilization, and eight points are out of temptation in the face of competitors.

Originally, whether in reality or in the Myriad Worlds, the two great civilizations had always regarded each other as their only competitor... well, until a White Night suddenly appeared in the Myriad Worlds.

"Just give him a normal answer." Zeta made the decision immediately, and the deputy next to her instantly understood what she meant.

You can't be too enthusiastic, nor can you be too cold. In short... you can't let Ximo know in advance that there will be monster attacks when upgrading the territory.

——Since you have been caught in the rain, you must not let your competitors know that you need to bring an umbrella!

In Baiye Village, next to the Tree of Creation, Ye Bai opened the [Development Strategy] page after a long-awaited upgrade.

It's time to renew your policy card again.

This time, after [Starting from Scratch] and [Flourishing], the last early god card [Hard Work] also disappeared.

The entertainment needs of the territory's residents have become the fourth basic need that the lord must meet, following food, water, and health.

Fortunately, luxury goods are still too advanced for a village. Although [Hardworking and Enduring] disappears, a new similar policy card [Hardworking and Simple] has been added.

[Hardworking and Simple] All villagers have no demand for luxury goods and no demand for personal hobbies.

At the same time, the [Pioneer] that had been occupying a slot and could not be replaced finally disappeared naturally, which not only retained Carrie but also allowed Ye Bai to replace it with a useful new policy card.

Ye Bai chose the newly appeared [Work and Rest Combination]: Residents with an entertainment value of 60 or above will have their work efficiency increased by 30% and their skill proficiency growth rate increased by 30%.

In addition, there are two other cards, [Paradise] to increase the attractiveness of the population and [Abundant Harvest] to increase grain harvest. Ye Bai did not choose them because she could fill the influence from other aspects, and it was too uneconomical to use policy cards.

The other two new policy cards are essentially unchanged, as they upgrade the original effects:

[Reward System II] Increases the advancement speed of junior professionals in the territory by 30%.

[Military Training II] Increases the advancement speed of primary combat professions in the territory by 30%.

In the end, the development strategies confirmed by Baiye Village in the level 3 territory are: [Traveling Merchant], [Hardworking and Simple], [Reward System II], and [Combination of Work and Rest].

The requirements for upgrading to the next level, level 4, territory also appeared: the territory's population reached 180 people; it had 6 production buildings with professionals working; the territory had 50 primary military units.

The production buildings for 6 professionals mean that Ye Bai can no longer use combat professionals to make up the numbers as before. He really needs to train professionals to work in the relevant buildings. As for the 50 primary military units, militia will not work. Special barracks need to be established, and then different types of troops need to be divided.

Military units mean systems and standard equipment, and they are also the first villagers in the territory to start the salary system.

Military units trained in different barracks are equivalent to an early job transfer. Training troops can be improved by consuming productivity, which is a big spender on money and productivity. However, the effect after training is also very gratifying.

After finishing the policy, Ye Bai opened [Development Direction] again. At this time, her productivity reached the richest level in history.

4 points were used up from the 12 points of returning to the territory, plus the 20 points of productivity rewarded from the upgrade from level 1 to level 3, for a total of 28 points of productivity!

Needless to say, open it right away!
