At level 30, Su Bai can learn a new professional skill.
The Healing Hand
【Profession】
[Type: Active]
[Level: 1]
[Cost: 260 Mana]
[Cooldown: 60 seconds]
[Description: Summons a holy totem pole in the field. Every 3 seconds, it releases a healing wave that removes one negative status effect from nearby friendly units for 15 seconds.]
[Proficiency: 1/1000]
...
As expected, this is another totem-type skill, and a support skill at that.
However, the effect is very strong.
Purification skills are rare in the game, possessed by only a few classes, and can basically remove all negative status effects that players may suffer.
For example, negative effects related to mental health include fear, confusion, bewitching, and dizziness.
Negative physical effects: bleeding, tearing, burning, poisoning, etc.
Quite practical.
Of the six basic professions, only two have purification skills:
priest,
warrior.
Among them, the Priest's Divine Healing is a single-target skill, while the Warrior's Aura Purification only affects themselves. Other classes do have crowd control removal skills, but these skills cannot purify non-control-related negative effects.
In comparison.
That's how powerful the healing hand's area-of-effect purification is.
In truth, without Su Bai's insane stat boosts, the Radiant Saint's skills would be mediocre in strength compared to other classes.
Unexpectedly, this is the only active skill that doesn't benefit from his stat bonuses.
This actually highlights the strength of this hidden profession...
"You did it."
The voice came from behind.
Claudia walked slowly toward him, her clear, bright eyes filled with a mixture of emotion, reminiscence, and an indescribable feeling.
[Hint: Claudia's loyalty +10!]
[Hint: Claudia's favorability +20!]
...
“This is my own stuff, of course I have to protect it.”
Su Bai was taken aback for a moment before turning around.
Loyalty and favorability are two different attributes. Loyalty only represents Claudia's degree of obedience to her orders, but it is limited to administrative instructions that do not go too far.
In contrast, increasing favorability is much more difficult.
The favorability level is divided into tiers of 10 points. Once the favorability level exceeds 50 points, the player can establish a partnership with the NPC (temporarily referred to as NPC).
And couples can already do things that are not to be described...
Of course, it also depends on the personality of each NPC.
For those with a conservative personality, it may be necessary to raise the favorability rating to 70 or 80 before unlocking paid content.
Unexpected.
Defending the village yourself will also trigger Claudia's option to increase your favorability.
A positive impression of 20 is the threshold for transitioning from a stranger to a friend.
When Claudia was with him, she was clearly no longer as reserved as at the beginning, and a hint of ease was revealed between her brows.
"..."
Upon hearing his reply, Claudia looked at the territory without speaking.
A moment later.
She continued, "The war is over, and Your Majesty can bring back the relocated residents. With the craftsmen here, the upgrade of the territory can be completed much earlier."
"I have already sent someone to inform them."
Su Bai nodded.
"After the territory is upgraded, there are some new buildings that can be constructed. I have selected a few from them. Please take a look at this development plan."
"And then there's the finances. Yesterday we paid out workers' and soldiers' salaries, so there's not much money left in the account."
"Furthermore, there is still a shortage of materials needed to repair the damaged territory..."
She continued reporting on official business.
Su Bai listened attentively to her plan, finally returning to his duty as a lord.
Once a village is upgraded to a town, there are many more buildings that can be constructed.
Township-level territory.
This signifies that technological development has officially transitioned from the agricultural era to the industrial era.
However, the industrial technology in this world is very different from that in reality.
Without a steam engine,
There is no electricity.
All technological development relies on the 'extraordinary energy' in this world. — Actually, it shouldn't be described as 'industry'; to be precise, it should be the 'magic energy' era.
He needs to build the most basic 'energy hub' first.
Through the energy hub, all objects containing magical energy, such as energy crystals and elemental crystals, can be converted into usable energy.
The 'energy transmission device' can then be reused in various fields.
His existing buildings all need to be upgraded accordingly.
For example, a blacksmith shop will be upgraded to a 'foundry'. A foundry is a facility that uses energy to carry out smelting, casting and other work in a more convenient and efficient manner.
Buildings that collect and process resources, such as logging camps, quarries, and slaughterhouses, also need to upgrade their magical energy equipment.
Civil equipment
means of transport
Military technology...
The resources needed for these developments are enormous.
Su Bai was in a real bind.
A rough estimate suggests that even if he only wants to make a preliminary upgrade to the technology level of his territory, it will require an investment of at least tens of millions!
Subsequent investments amounted to hundreds of millions!
Moreover, this is all contingent on Shen Wansan being able to find enough materials for him...
"A bottomless pit."
He shook his head slightly.
Of course, he only calculated the expenses. The town-level territory was already capable of developing basic manufacturing, which meant that he could finally monetize his existing resources.
However, this is because basic manufacturing industries will be squeezed out by the domestic market.
