Chapter 9

After nightfall, some people began to sit on the public seats near Ye Bai.

Most of them are passengers waiting for the spacecraft, who don’t want to spend extra money on accommodation because the journey takes a long time.

There will be no wanderers on a planet like Blue Star. All consumption is paid in star coins, which is too expensive. It would be more comfortable to find another planet that uses local currency.

Ye Bai's current situation of being able to access the Star Network but unable to stay in a hotel is probably unique on Blue Star.

“Gurgle…”

Ye Bai finished drinking the half bottle of nutrient solution that was left over from the day before. It still had no taste, just like drinking water, but one bottle could satisfy his satiety and nutritional needs for the whole day, which was really convenient.

Then he lay back on the public seat. After thinking for a while, Ye Bai spent another star coin to buy a dust cleaning service. This molecular vibration cleaning method did not have the comfort of taking a shower with water, but it was fast and convenient. It was also considered an extra wash for him, making it the most cost-effective cleaning option at present.

After eating and drinking, and taking a bath, Ye Bai closed his eyes in the chair, feeling refreshed.

Sign up!

…

The alternation of day and night in the Ten Thousand Worlds is shorter than that on the real Blue Planet. When Ye Bai came online again, it was already dawn in the game.

Ye Bai first opened the lord rankings and took a look. There was still only one lonely 'Bai Ye' on the list. It seemed that the second lord would not appear among the universe players so soon.

With so many players re-registering, there will definitely be players born in the wilderness. However, even for ordinary dungeons, it is not easy to clear ordinary dungeons without spending manpower on trial and error. As long as you exit, go offline, or die during the dungeon, the energy of the dungeon key will be used up, and it will need to be recharged with material resources before it can be used again.

Starting in the wilderness is a shortcut to play. The normal design of this city-building order copy is originally prepared for players who have changed their jobs after becoming familiar with the game and have equipment and resources. Once they fail, they can spend resources to challenge again.

The cosmic players had only been converted to official players for two or three hours, and their game progress was a day slower than Ye Bai's. Unlike her, they were not familiar with the game, and they were all standard paupers. They should not have any resources, so they could only use their first free chance to trial and error. Even if the wilderness players chose to push the ordinary dungeon, the progress would not be too fast.

Ye Bai opened his backpack again and sorted out the items inside.

The weapons were still the same, and the item qualifications took up three slots. They were two groups of complete fluorite that had been synthesized, a total of 45. Ye Bai threw away the two remaining fluorite fragments to avoid taking up space in the backpack.

There are many other items, which are arranged in the backpack according to their rarity level:

60 pieces of Minced Meat (white), 31 pieces of Bat Wing (green), 12 pieces of Bat Teeth (blue), 1 piece of Unidentified Blueprint (blue), 8 pieces of High-Level Beast Meat (blue), 4 pieces of Wrathhorn Hide (purple), 1 piece of Blood of Transmutation (purple), 1 piece of Wrathhorn (gold), 1 piece of Philosopher's Stone (gold), 1 piece of Unidentified Blueprint (gold), 1 piece of Seed of Creation, and 10 gold coins.

Ye Bai knew all the items dropped by the BOSS, and at this moment her eyes fell on the [Philosopher's Stone] in the column of golden items.

Philosopher's Stone

Level: Legend

Attribute: Mythical Material

Description: The ultimate creation of alchemy

If the previous server-wide announcement had not been too shocking, Ye Bai would definitely have paid attention to this item first.

What is the function of the Philosopher's Stone?

It is a universal material. As long as there is a blueprint, it can replace the manufacturing gap required by the recipe for an arbitrary material. Of course, only one can be used at a time.

In other words, if you get a rare blueprint and collect all the other items in it, but still can't get one of the materials, it doesn't matter. At this time, put in a philosopher's stone, and you can complete the manufacturing, even the most core and precious materials. It can be said to be good news for the unlucky ones.

Obviously, the most suitable place for this kind of item is in the game mall.

However, until Ye Bai was frozen ten thousand years ago, the mall framework was not online.

Because the planner sent by the investors only thinks about money, Ye Bai disagrees with many of the plans he puts forward. For example, for items like the Philosopher's Stone, Ye Bai's design is that it can only be used as a substitute material in a creation, that is, other materials + Philosopher's Stone can successfully produce an item. However, the people on the investment side proposed to remove the restrictions on other materials, that is, as long as you can spend money, you can use all the Philosopher's Stones to synthesize an item.

When Ye Bai heard this, he pressed his fists again and again. He could already imagine that if that were really done, the next step in the game would be to release a list of the rich players who spent the most money.

When a wealthy person plays Overlord, why would he need to complete any quests or collect materials? He could just spend money to build a city.

The two sides have been arguing, so the mall framework has naturally not been determined.

Now this holographic version of the world has neither a mall nor a direct exchange channel for game money and real currency. What is beyond Ye Bai's expectation is that the achievement system still exists.

The achievement system is designed to reward players who truly love the game and study the gameplay carefully. The first player to achieve some special achievements in the game can obtain various rewards, which are basically titles with special attributes and special items, such as the Philosopher's Stone.

There is no mall in this world now, which means that achievement rewards are the only source of obtaining such special items.

Therefore, the value of the Philosopher's Stone in Ye Bai's hand will be raised to another level.

As for how to make the most of this Philosopher's Stone? Of course, it's by using it on that golden legendary building blueprint!

The Philosopher's Stone can not only be used in the production of props and equipment, but also in construction.

For Ye Bai, who just got a legendary building blueprint and is still wondering when he can build it, this achievement reward can only be said to be a pillow given to him when he is sleepy, which will make him take off immediately!

However, all this will happen after the territory is established.

At this time, there are still 15 hours before the Seed of Creation expires. The most important thing for Ye Bai is of course to determine the territory first.

[Are you sure you want to use the uniquely bound item Creation Seed? ]

【confirm】

Ye Bai took a special bath before going online, hoping that his luck would improve again and he could find a territory rich in resources.

After confirming it, Ye Bai closed his eyes uncontrollably. At the same time, the mark on the character's forehead emitted light. The light condensed together and turned into a beam of light that went straight into the sky and broke through the clouds.

At the same time, Ye Bai, who had his eyes closed, regained his vision.

This is a high-altitude view looking down from above, which can take in the geographical environment within five miles at once. Not only that, as Ye Bai's eyes are focused on a certain area, his vision can be zoomed in and magnify the details of the surrounding environment.

With just a quick glance, Ye Bai found many suitable places to enclose land.

Lakes offer fisheries and reeds for weaving, making them ideal for early development. Woods are rich in timber and offer wildlife, allowing for hunting in the early stages and later raising them in captivity. Rivers are also suitable for trade and provide water resources.

These basic resources will have information prompts when Ye Bai looks at them. At the same time, the holographic version of the Ten Thousand Worlds on the screen has billions of more details. In the Ten Thousand Worlds ten thousand years ago, this enclosure link is like opening a new page. There will not be such a detailed and intuitive scene, but it will be presented in the form of different map textures.

Wait…stickers!

It was as if an electric current passed through Ye Bai's mind, and when it scanned a certain position, it suddenly stopped.

It was an ordinary-looking flat land with no animals or plants nearby. There were only a few trees growing there, forming a triangular angle in the area.

Looking around, there are no wild animals, no lakes, it is far from the river, and the trees are not very dense. It seems that there are no geographical conditions that can be used as an advantage.

But when Ye Bai looked at the triangular terrain, he showed a look of surprise.

Since Wanjie is a game with infrastructure elements, various resources will naturally be refreshed when the map is generated. Due to the differences in the underlying codes, different resources require different map texture styles. Even if some look very similar, there will be subtle differences, otherwise bugs may occur.

And because of the existence of the technology tree, many resources that require technology to unlock can only be discovered. In the early stages, when the technology level is not high enough, the resource information will not be displayed on the map.

Now, this inconspicuous triangular terrain that caught Ye Bai's gaze was the terrain map of the most advanced energy material in the universe - [Source Energy Crystal Ore]!

Under normal circumstances, the location of the source energy crystal mine can only be seen on the map information after the territory technology tree has developed to the middle and late stages and the [Energy Exploration] technology is activated.

If there is no resource nearby, I'm sorry, there is no other way except to relocate the territory or capture the territory that has this resource.

Fighting for limited high-level resources is also an important part of the later stage of territory war gameplay.

And now, relying on his unique "texture recognition" method, Ye Bai is like locking down the location of an oil field at a level of exploration where he can't even find a coal mine...

What else is there to say? Ye Bai directly found a location that was easy to plan near the Source Energy Crystal Mine and chose to plant the Seed of Creation.

A ray of light appeared on Ye Bai's character, and he disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared at the location he had selected before.

"Boom..."

At the same time, a crystal-clear tree sprouted and grew rapidly at Ye Bai's feet. In the blink of an eye, it stretched out its branches and turned into a big tree almost five meters high.

Ye Bai reached out and touched the branch.

Level 0 Territory (Unnamed)

Lord: White Night

Current population: 8 (immigrating)

Population attraction: 10% basic attraction + 3% environmental attraction + 15% title added value

Building: None

Happiness: 0

Opening the high-altitude vision again, Ye Bai saw that at the edge of her vision, there were 8 small black dots moving towards the center where she was.

From this moment on, Bai Ye’s identity as a lord was truly worthy of the name.
