Chapter 81
When Ye Bai opened his backpack and saw the extra Philosopher's Stone inside, he was delighted.
The first one upgraded to town level will indeed reward high-level materials. Of course, the more universal building materials like Philosopher's Stone, the better.
Afterwards, Ye Bai immediately opened his personal attribute column and looked at the effect of the title of [First Mayor] he had just obtained.
First Mayor: The attractiveness of the territory's population increases by 10%; the probability of special talents appearing increases by 15%; the willingness of professionals to relocate increases by 20%; the attractiveness of the nobility increases by 15%.
As soon as he saw the attributes, Ye Bai smiled happily. It was indeed worthy of the title of lord, and all the attributes were added on to the point.
Needless to say, the population attraction and the probability of special talents appearing are slightly lower than the title of the first lord. This is understandable because there are two bonuses behind this title. The former's professional willingness to relocate is increased by 20%, which means that the lord's favorability threshold for recruiting NPCs to the territory is lowered.
The standard threshold for this value was originally 60. When Ye Bai returned to the territory from Melo City, he increased the favorability of the mercenaries every day just to reach above 60.
Now with this achievement, it means that as long as Ye Bai and the professional he wants to recruit have a favorability of 48 points, he can try to invite the other party to open a shop in the territory. This type of professional will not need Ye Bai to pay them a salary, but instead Ye Bai can collect taxes from them.
However, in the same way, even Ye Bai, as a lord, needs to spend money to purchase the products produced by these professionals. He will receive corresponding discounts based on his loyalty, which is more cost-effective than ordinary players.
Another attraction for the nobility is the corresponding nobles' willingness to live in Baiye Village...now it should be called Baiye Town.
In a world with extraordinary powers, it is not true that one must have a fiefdom to be called a noble like in the Middle Ages. Monsters are rampant in the wilderness of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and ordinary nobles without strength cannot open up much territory. Most of those who can be called nobles in the Ten Thousand Worlds are powerful extraordinary people and families passed down from generations of extraordinary people.
If it all depends on strength, the minimum requirement for the new rich is to be a second-level professional, or to become an influential figure in the three major factions. Together with the numerous family members of the new rich, there are even more old nobles who have inherited their "rich ancestors", and players with lord status, which constitute a considerable aristocratic class in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
For town-level territories, the attraction to the nobles is not that they will come to settle in the territory, but that they will stay there. They can be understood as tourists who come to the territory to consume.
They will purchase real estate and consume in the territory, but will not join the territory. Nobles will only choose to settle in cities. At the town-level territory stage, in addition to providing gold coins, the only thing nobles can increase is the school tendency of the territory.
Now Ye Bai has opened up the trade route to Melo City. It is not only a trade route, but also a tourist route. The nobles who come to Baiye Town to live here come from Melo City, and they are basically all inclined towards the magic school. So after finishing the upgrade and construction of the territory, Ye Bai will start to consider opening up the trade routes to the other two main cities of the schools in the Blue Star server.
After all, Ye Bai has always been on the path of "wanting it all" and "wanting the best".
After daybreak, the residents of Baiye Town opened their tightly closed doors and walked out of their houses. The relevant professionals worked together with the soldiers of the territory to deal with the monster corpses, skinning and collecting meat. A large number of new people who had joined yesterday also carried out the transportation work together.
Ye Bai walked forward and touched the body of the three-headed eagle.
Obtain [Level 1 Skill Book] x1
Obtain [Three-headed Eagle Egg] X1
Obtain [Blood of Transformation] x1
Obtain [High-quality Poultry] x16
Get [Gold Coins] x10
“Wow!”
This three-headed eagle was easily dealt with, so Ye Bai didn't have high expectations when he was searching the corpse. However, after seeing the harvest, he found it was a big surprise. The intensity of the battle was completely covered by the firepower, which really didn't live up to its two gold and one purple configuration.
Needless to say, Ye Bai used the skill book immediately, adding points to [Magic Bloodline Enhancement IV], directly increasing the strength of all his second-level spells to the standard strength.
First-level skill books are only applicable to first-level professions and will only drop from bosses below level 40. After Ye Bai's second transformation, he will no longer be able to use this skill book to obtain skill points.
As for the three-headed eagle egg...
【Three-headed Eagle Egg】
Attribute: Eggs
Level: Legend
Status: Hatching
Effect: After consumption, the upper limit of spiritual energy will be increased by 50, and the gliding speed will be increased by an additional 3 times.
Description: A three-headed vulture egg can hatch into a baby three-headed vulture. No one would choose to eat it, would they?
Although triple gliding speed is very good, it is just as described. It would be a waste to eat it. As long as Ye Bai finds a suitable NPC to hatch it, it will be a powerful air combat unit. If you are willing to spend resources to cultivate it, you can let it evolve into a stronger one.
If the taming of the donkey Ottophis had not been enabled in the divine realm, the three-headed eagle would have been a very good aerial mount. However, after evaluating it, Ye Bai of course chose the donkey. After all, it was not an ordinary donkey, but the donkey that brought her the artifact!
Instead of harvesting the mount, it would be nice to transform the three-headed eagle into an air combat unit for the territory and use it to guard the territory. If someone in the territory can tame the three-headed eagle into a mount during this period, Ye Bai doesn't mind having one more sky knight.
After putting all the dropped items into his backpack, Ye Bai walked past the residents who were busy cleaning up their territory and came to the Tree of Creation.
Touch the tree trunk and the familiar territory page will unfold.
【White Night Town】
Lord: White Night
Current population: 218
Population attractiveness: 50% basic attractiveness + 42% environmental attractiveness + 30% title added value
Buildings: Compost Plant x2, 166 Houses, 2 Blacksmiths, 5 Warehouses, 4 Cellars, 8 Wells, 1 Market, 2 Tailors, 1 Smelter, 1 Sawmill, 1 Smokehouse, 1 Herb Shop, 1 Barracks, 8 Watchtowers...
Health: 85
Health: 80
Entertainment: 70
Luxury needs: 20 (sugar satisfaction)
Personal hobby requirements: None
Happiness: 72
The leading Baiye Village was finally renamed Baiye Town. At the same time, with the influx of a large number of people into the territory, the health and hygiene level, which had been stable at over 90, also showed a significant decline. At the same time, there was an increase in the demand for luxury goods. With the low demand for luxury goods, the happiness level of the territory also decreased.
Among the current luxury demand, 20 points of sugar satisfaction comes from the sugar and honey stored in the territory, as well as other luxury goods such as furniture, high-end fabrics, and decorations. It is not that these luxury goods, which are not cheap, are to be distributed to every resident, but that there must be reserves so that the residents can buy them when they want.
Therefore, every time a luxury item is added to the territory, the luxury value will increase by a certain amount.
There is no upper limit to the demand for luxury goods, which can exceed 100. This means that the more types you have, the higher the bonus you can get. If the demand for luxury goods exceeds 60, it will not reduce the impact on the happiness of the territory. If it exceeds 80, you can start to get additional happiness bonuses.
To produce luxury goods, corresponding production buildings are naturally needed. Ye Bai turned and opened the territory development page.
In the productivity column, the newly upgraded White Night Town has accumulated a full 45 points of productivity.
This includes the 8 points left over from the last time, the 3 points added each month by the trade route, the 16 points gained from upgrading the territory, and the 18 points naturally accumulated during this period.
With such abundant productivity, only Ye Bai can stockpile so much in the entire game.
Although other lords have now obtained free productivity from many real players, the productivity used to improve territory technology will only be calculated based on the work of NPC villagers. If the NPC population is not enough, even if everything is built, the corresponding technology cannot be upgraded.
After reaching the town level, the technology page comes to the second ring, and more and more detailed technologies appear.
Ye Bai first invested in the three most core technologies at the town level, each of which cost 8 points of productivity.
[Finance] Unlocks the Finance Department (buildable area: Mayor's Office); unlocks wages; unlocks more detailed tax policies.
[Public Security] Unlock the Sheriff Department (buildable area: Mayor's Office); unlock the Sheriff's Pavilion building; unlock the Prison building; unlock the Town Guard position.
[Diplomacy] Unlocks the diplomatic department (buildable area: Mayor's Office); unlocks the post station building.
These three essential basic systems for a technological town-level territory, together with the military, constitute the territory's administrative structure. The lack of any one of them will affect the normal operation of the town.
Under normal circumstances, players who don't have such productivity can only choose two at most. If they want to choose other technologies, they must choose finance first, and can put public security and diplomacy at the end. Because Ye Bai is "rich and powerful", he chose them all at once.
The three departments have independent pages and can only be built in the mayor's office.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai immediately opened up his architectural vision and asked the villagers to demolish the houses previously built on the Well of Origin, and planned a building on it, the [Mayor's Office], which would be naturally unlocked after it was upgraded to the town level.
"Huh...it's not easy." Ye Bai sighed as he watched the villagers starting to transport materials.
After sleeping on the "streets" for a month in the game, she, the lord, finally had her own private territory in the territory.
