Chapter 85: The East is Dark, the West is Bright
The soybean boom swept across the western continent, making tribal agriculture strong again. The number of farmers was also increasing, and this profession attracted more villains to join.
A simple prompt appeared on the screen, blending in with the meat, eggs and milk discoveries, appearing less noticeable.
Lu Yao almost overlooked this.
When he glanced at it, the fingers holding the mouse trembled.
[The Garlic Tribe established the first city: Yancheng. ]
This was truly unexpected for Lu Yao.
The first city built by the tribe was not in its headquarters, but in a settlement located in the western salt pond.
He switched the view to the sky above the salt pond.
Lu Yao hadn't paid attention to this place for a while, and now the salt lake has changed a lot.
The city was surrounded by a low stone wall, with a criss-cross street in the middle and sparse houses made of wood and stone on both sides of the street.
The houses look no different from those at the Garlic Tribe headquarters, but the difference is that the houses here have a clear urban social division of labor.
In addition to residential buildings, the houses here are decorated with flags with various patterns drawn on them to represent the functions of these houses.
There is a hammer on the flag, representing a blacksmith's shop, which is used to make and sell various metal tools or weapons and equipment.
There is a pattern on the flag that looks like sand, representing that this is a salt shop and a local specialty.
The flag with wheat ears on it represents a shop that buys and sells grain.
The flag has clothes on it, which means it is a clothing store.
The flag has a ceramic cup on it, which means it is a hotel.
The flags with steaming meat and bread on them are restaurants that provide ready-to-eat food.
Although these goods and shops are very simple and basic, they are already a reflection of further social division of labor.
Merchants no longer hawked their wares on the streets, and many of them now worked in shops. Commodity trade became an inseparable part of people's daily lives.
After Yancheng was born, further details were given in the population in the upper right corner of the game interface.
The sign [Yancheng: 2,314] appeared below the population: 22,129 .
Lu Yao searched in Yancheng for a while and actually found the temple.
The name "Yancheng Temple" appeared on it, and its size and scale were imitated from the main temple. Except for the gray stone used on the outside instead of pure white, there was no difference in other aspects.
Lu Yao clicked on the temple and found his own statue inside, with a long staircase leading to the gods and a vague Temple of the Gods behind it.
The [Sacrifice] and [Gift] slots, the portraits of the two apostles, all of which are missing. There is also a small temple icon next to it. Clicking it will jump to the initial temple of the Garlic Tribe headquarters.
From Lu Yao's perspective, the Yancheng Temple can also be operated.
This shows that temples can be built in different cities and connected to each other.
Lu Yao couldn't help but think: Isn't this a portal?
If you want to send an apostle into a city, you only need to go through the temple and use the real world as a stepping stone to quickly reach both cities.
During actual operation, Lu Yao found that this was more convenient than he thought.
All Isabel needs to do is send her into the temple, and she can quickly travel between Yancheng and the tribal base camp through the temple symbols.
Just by building this temple with its own apostles, the city has already won a lot. The progress of civilization has brought convenience and enhancement that can be seen with the naked eye.
As the earliest city in the pixel world, Yancheng's management is very simple, with only one mayor and one commander.
The mayor is one of the villains Lu Yao remembered, Yu Lian.
Yu Lian is now 34 years old, from a young boy to a mature man. His level has reached LV5, and his shipbuilding skills have become LV2, with all aspects improved.
He became famous at a young age and built a paddle boat when he was a teenager. Lu Yao had high hopes for him. Unfortunately, he never invented a new type of ship in the following years.
After Yu Lian became the leader of the tribe, he could no longer let his imagination run wild by the river as he did in the past.
There are always incidents in the tribe: conflicts between fishermen and merchants, fights among spectators in the Colosseum, drunken riots, business disputes... these are all things that Lu Yao can see.
The fishing company has been busy dealing with these problems.
Now that he can jump out of the Garlic Tribe headquarters and be in charge of Yancheng, Lu Yao thinks it is a good thing.
Compared with the Garlic Tribe headquarters with a large population and fixed customs, Yancheng is a young city. It has experienced destruction and reconstruction, and is an immigrant city without so many rules and regulations.
In addition to the humans of the Garlic Tribe in Yancheng, there are also many cave monsters, corrupters, grassland savages, and wandering savages.
The origins of different ethnic groups are also different.
Cave dwellers gradually migrated out from underground caves. They are the descendants of humans from the previous era. After hiding underground, they dispersed into many small groups.
Under the guidance of the wizard Senjian, some cave monsters gradually moved out from underground and integrated into the life on the ground.
The newly joined cave dwellers did not want to go too far from the mountains, so they basically chose to live in Yancheng. As time went by, the number of this group gradually increased.
The Corrupters were originally soldiers created by the Blood Knights.
It's ironic. Blood Knight Navid is an iron-blooded tool who executes orders, but many of the corrupted he created with corpses and salt have normal intelligence.
The Corrupters are somewhat like zombies, they are not easy to die. However, they need to eat meat and salt to replenish their slowly decaying bodies, so they have certain food requirements.
Their role near the salt ponds is that of professional soldiers, patrolling tirelessly every day.
When not in the Black Abyss or on a mission, the Blood Knight continues his mission: training the Corrupted.
Therefore, there are only 12 corruptors in total, but they are elite soldiers.
The weakest Corruptor has now reached LV18, and the strongest one has even reached LV21. Its name has also changed from Corruptor to [Corruption Guardian].
The appearance of the Corrupted Guardian also became more sturdy, a circle larger than the surrounding Corrupters, turning into a small blue giant that stood out from the crowd.
Lu Yao selected this new unit.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
[Corrupted Guardian LV21] Yanger HP: 385/385 Mana: 98/98 Damage: 20 Defense: 17 Speed: 12 [Stubborn LV10]
There is a certain chance that the player will not be affected by spells.
【Rebirth LV10】
If the body is not completely destroyed after death, there is a certain probability of resurrection.
【violent】
Gain bonus speed and damage when taking damage.
…
The abilities of the Corrupted Guards are very simple, but Lu Yao really likes [Berserk].
As soldiers guarding the city, this ability to respond quickly is very practical.
In addition, Yanger is also the [Commander] of Yancheng. In addition to being trained by the Blood Knights, he and the Corrupters are responsible for the city's security and defense.
Lu Yao observed that [Corrupted Guards] had names, but low-level Corrupters did not have names.
Based on his various experiences since coming into contact with the simulator, he came to a conclusion.
To the supernatural power, a name is a privilege.
Having a name means that this individual belongs to the elite class and can be distinguished from other ordinary groups. It is similar to a small boss monster.
Going a step further is an exclusive title.
For example, the three strongest fighters under Lu Yao each have a title: Isabel is the [Sword of the Forest], Navid is the [Blood Knight], and the Deep Sea Lord Gul is the [Crown of Thorns].
Among the heavyweight bosses defeated before, only Celti in the abyss can have the exclusive title of "Count of Withering".
Lu Yao reviewed carefully and found that the gods also seemed to fit this title formula.
New players, or trainee gods, all choose their own names. But this thing is actually only used by believers to make it easier for them to chant, address, and understand.
Only after entering the Pantheon can one be called [Gods].
Above them are the [Title Gods], known as [Whistleblower] and [Skinner].
The higher level ones are the [Main Gods], who have more symbolic and conceptual names, such as [God of Darkness] and [God of the Forest].
…
Lu Yao turned his attention back to the citizens.
The Corrupters patrol daily to ensure order in the city.
The grassland savages come from the grasslands of the East Continent.
After being conquered by Isabel, the prairie savages followed the paddle boats to Yancheng one after another to gather together for warmth. They mainly engaged in animal husbandry, raising horses, cattle and dogs nearby, which was also the prairie savages' main business.
Thanks to the participation and labor of these professional herdsmen, the pastures near the salt lake are thriving, and the cattle and horses of the garlic tribe are basically produced here.
Finally, there are the wandering wild men.
This group usually lives in the wild. However, there are fewer and fewer wandering wild people nowadays. They either join tribes or hide in remote areas where few people go.
What Lu Yao cares about is.
After the fusion and reproduction of multiple races, a new hybrid species was born with the addition of meat, eggs and milk.
[Salt tribe].
