The refugees gathered around the large pot, lining up to eat.
Su Yue watched the global broadcast and received his random weapon reward.
"Arachnid (Longsword - Black Special): Strength +2, Agility +3."
Slow: -5 enemy creature speed.
Sadness: -3 enemy creature morale.
Life Drain: Allied units drain 10% of their life force.
—Arachne: A weaver who challenged Athena to a weaving contest, was punished for her failure and transformed into a spider. She brings slowness and disaster to her enemies.
Su Yue was shocked. He had already been somewhat dismissive of the 5 free attribute points.
However, he is currently lacking a suitable weapon.
Most importantly, this weapon has lifesteal, meaning that 10% of the damage dealt will be converted into lifesteal, restoring the user's health. This is extremely useful for a lord like Su Yue who needs to stay alive.
"A special weapon, with a black border."
Su Yue's expression was complicated: "This thing should be something that other lords can't use, right? The good faction can't use this kind of evil weapon. But I haven't been restricted in any way."
Before his transmigration in his previous life, Su Yue knew that many weapons in the world of Turin had racial restrictions. The special forest weapons used by elves were unusable by humans. Undead weapons would cause negative effects on humans, such as being corrupted by the aura of the dead or death. It was a losing proposition; it might reduce attributes or even cause the weapon to backfire. But Su Yue was different now.
Within him lies the power of the Great Lord of the Gods, the legacy of the evil god lord Cthulhu, and his allegiance is that of the Great Old Ones of the Cthulhu faction.
In this situation, he is highly compatible with both righteous and evil weapons.
The god-level NPC Jin Xiuer is leading the residents of the territory in their busy work.
The refugees, having eaten and drunk their fill.
The only thing missing now is a place to live.
The so-called clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Su Yue has now fed them well, and Abraham has used the devil's special skill of deception to make the refugees obey orders and start working, just like normal farmers. This in itself is a huge advantage, coupled with the large number of nearly 1,500 refugees.
It was impossible for the Su-Yue territory not to rise to prominence.
As for the 40 free attribute points that Su Yue has reserved, he doesn't need to add them for the time being.
I've gained so much now.
He needs to process these gains step by step.
Holding the Arachne Black Sword, he gazed at the weapon, which was entirely black and seemed to be possessed by a spider's nest.
Su Yue made a light slash.
A large tree was cut down.
"This thing would be pretty good for logging, haha."
Abraham was studying the statue of the evil god when he pointed to a spot not far away and said, "There's a stone mine ahead. Go quickly and gather some stone for me. Hurry! There'll be meat soup."
The first part was an order. Later, the group of refugees, who had already eaten their fill, heard that in addition to rice porridge, there was also meat soup, and they immediately perked up.
Su Yue looked at Abraham, the sixth son, and shook his head.
Under Jin Xiuer's command, the refugees began to work.
“Isn’t this Miss Kim Soo-er, the daughter of a noble family? We are willing to follow your orders.”
"Miss Jin Xiuer!"
"Miss Jin Xiuer is beautiful and kind-hearted. Please feel free to give your orders."
Su Yue was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the first god-level NPC in his territory would have such prestige and authority among the refugees.
But let's forget about saying Kim Soo-ah is beautiful inside and out.
She's of succubus blood.
He's also a half-demon.
Time passed slowly in the territory.
"Japanese player Ito Mirror has completed a building, the Lord's Hall is now built, and he has obtained: 1 free attribute point."
"Drakoev of the Russian Bear Kingdom has completed a building project. The Lord's Hall has been built. He has obtained: 1 Free Attribute Point."
...
The 100 spots were filled quickly, and the players in the Turin world were very enthusiastic about exploring the new world.
They were moving very fast, and everyone was chasing after them.
However, they have now gained more than 7 free attribute points.
This is the total.
Su Yue looked at his 40 free attribute points and couldn't help but laugh. This was the difference.
Abraham, as a ninth-order companion subordinate, was of immense help.
Time passed little by little.
Houses are springing up everywhere!
Su Yue looked at the log information, but his expression grew increasingly astonished.
"Under the guidance of the god-level architect Jin Xiuer, you have completed the construction of a residential building, increasing its level by 1. You have obtained a level 2 residential building."
"What the hell!?"
Su Yue stared in shock as a two-story house came into view.
"God-level architect Jin Xiuer has completed the construction of a residential building, increasing its building level by 1. You have obtained a level 2 residential building."
On the one hand, the construction speed was extremely fast, and on the other hand, Su Yue felt that the quality of these houses was at least several levels better than the second-level houses in his previous life's territory.
Secondly, the buildings constructed by Kim Soo-ah, a god-level architect, automatically gain +1 level.
Doesn't that mean...?
Once the first level of the Lord's Hall is built, will it immediately become level two?
This is quite serious.
Many buildings in Tier 2 cannot be unlocked in Tier 1. This includes troops recruited within the territory, taxes collected from the Lord's Hall, and resource production—all of which are significantly superior to Tier 1 buildings!
"No way?"
"Could it be a second-tier university?"
Under Su Yue's command, the first group of migrants, who were highly efficient in their work, moved into the houses!
"Haha, I have a house now! ~"
"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord."
Log message: "156 of the player's refugees have been promoted to land farmers."
"Tier 1 Farmers: Ordinary humans who lack combat power, but compared to the starving and freezing refugees, they are the cornerstone of your territory. They can help your territory develop rapidly, build, trade, and reproduce."
Su Yue looked delighted.
The first-level farmer looked much better and his physique had become a little stronger.
Add to that Abraham's persuasion, the morale boost from his own lord skill, and the 30-point morale increase from being well-fed and watered. The speed at which he cuts wood, mines, gathers stone, and collects berries and ingredients more than doubles!
—————————
In the afternoon, Su Yue, sensing the imminent return of Europe, looked at the massive building before him!
"What the hell is this thing?"
Thousands of farmers worked tirelessly for most of the day, until late at night. A magnificent medieval noble castle, adorned with intricate patterns, came into Su Yue's view. Although it couldn't compare to St. Peter's Castle in Russia, it was still quite ingeniously crafted! It was very beautiful and looked like it was easy to defend and difficult to attack!
"This looks a bit like a noble castle from the 19th century in my previous life, doesn't it?"
Jin Xiuer smiled and said, "My lord, this is a building I made in imitation of the succubus castle in the abyss. What do you think?"
"nice!"
This is basically a small castle, completely different from all the lord's halls that Su Yue had seen in his previous life.
As expected.
"You are the first in the world to complete three buildings. Do you wish to make a server-wide announcement in Turin?"
"???"
Quest Log: "Jin Ling'er led 1504 refugee farmers to complete the territory construction. Due to the passive effect of the God-level Architect, your Lord's Hall building level increased by 2."
Then, a shocking piece of news appeared in the sight of all players!
"Don't!"
Su Yue looked up at Abraham, and to his surprise, the man, who resembled a 19th-century nobleman or grand duke, nodded slightly at Su Yue! Su Yue immediately knew that this sixth brother was at it again! Why did he seem so familiar?
"Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to Dragon Kingdom player Su Yue for completing three buildings and establishing the Lord's Hall. You have received: 20 Free Attribute Points and 2 Tier 3 Building Blueprints!"
"Goodness gracious!!"
"Is Boss Su Yue going crazy?"
"Are you kidding me?!" a scream rang out: "Three books?!"
"Everyone else has a Tier 1 base, so why can you build a Tier 3 base directly? Everyone gets one attribute point, but you got 20 free attribute points! Is this cheating, a game bug, or are you the designer's favorite? I'm not having it!"
"This is insane... Everyone, I haven't even finished one book, and he's already got three? Is this game even worth playing anymore?"
"I'll try my best to pray that I don't run into Su Yue in the future, otherwise I don't know how I'll lose."
"Losing is inevitable, but I don't know how to lose with even a little bit of dignity."
This strange disparity.
The gap hadn't narrowed at all, leaving players worldwide feeling insignificant and powerless. The disparity was widening.
"Three books? Fake, this must be fake news," Skant of the US exclaimed angrily.
He's one of the 100 lord players who completed the first tier of construction, and he's just now able to build the Big Ear Monster Training Camp. This first-tier building grants him the right to recruit two Big Ear Monsters daily.
He was having a headache over setting up the tavern!
A lord must have heroes under his command, but the tavern's building requirements are too outrageous.
Ten thousand gold coins, plus over 4,000 of various resources.
The combined cost of the Big-Eared Monster Training Camp and the Lord's Hall didn't even amount to a fraction of the tavern's price, so he was basically ready to give up. But to his utter surprise, just as he was figuring out how to develop his territory and level up by fighting monsters, level three dungeons suddenly appeared in the Dragon Kingdom?!
"Is this even human?"
Skant screamed, completely bewildered.
The fact that the Dragon Kingdom player named Su Yue can now directly recruit Tier 3 monsters means that he can now directly recruit Tier 3 monsters.
Is he rich?
Moreover, all the buildings constructed were directly at Tier 3! The difference is terrifying!
Many American players, finding a bittersweet thought, "Hopefully he doesn't have the resources to develop a Tier 3 territory! His territory should have turned into a village by now, right? A small town isn't out of the question either, since none of us have ever seen what a Tier 3 base actually looks like."
On the other side.
Su Yue was also shocked by the territory before him.
"Lord's Hall - Council (Tier 3 - Special): Produces 5000 gold coins per week, and players can build Tier 3 buildings."
—A third-tier council can accommodate two council members and one general. Each council member provides a special attribute bonus to the territory!
Holy crap!!!
Su Yue stared in shock at the three buildings before him.
Kim Soo-ah stood obediently to the side, smiling as she waited for praise.
Su Yue indeed praised her: "Xiuer, you're more than just beautiful, you're simply a masterpiece of nature!"
Looking at the three empty slots, he immediately selected Abraham, the sixth son, into the round box.
Suddenly, the first member of parliament appeared with special effects.
"First Councilor: Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon III), the territory receives the Councilor's blessing: Productivity +40%, Territory Maintenance -40%."
"ah?"
Su Yue was stunned.
What is Abraham, the sixth son, up to now?
Abraham laughed and said, "From now on, I am the esteemed member of parliament of this territory. Master, please continue your efforts and strive to establish a Senate and a House of Lords. It seems that a mere House of Commons doesn't offer me much room to maneuver. I'm looking forward to dominating the court in the Senate and the general assembly!"
"..."
Su Yue fell silent.
This politician's endorsement is a bit too exaggerated.
What does 40% productivity mean?
All the farmers' work—mining, quarrying, building—has increased its resource production speed by nearly 40%. The farmers' tree-cutting speed was already quite fast thanks to the morale boost. Now, Su Yue looks up at the distant forest.
They discovered that the farmers' axes had already made the saplings smoke!
Sparks flew as he worked furiously on the stone.
"Strange? Why do I feel like I'm faster?"
"Yes, what used to require five picks of stone can now be broken in three!"
"Great! Praise be to the great lord! It would be even better if there was wheat wine."
Hearing this, Su Yue laughed, thinking that wheat wine would come in the future, and so would a wonderful life!
Su Yue directly moved Jin Xiuer to the second councilor's name.
"Second Councilor: Kim Soo-ah, the territory has received the Councilor's blessing: Farmer labor demand -30%."
This effect is somewhat inferior to that of the sixth son, Abraham, but the key is that it is cumulative.
In other words, what used to require three farmers now only needs two.
With the added advantage of these two councilor attributes!
The parliament of Su Yue.
Not only does it produce over 5,000 gold coins every week, but it can also collect taxes from thousands of farmers in the territory. In addition, it has two councilors whose attributes increase productivity by 40%, reduce territory maintenance by 40%, and reduce farmer labor demand by 30%... The development speed is nothing short of insane!
"That's already an exaggerated level. In my previous life, let alone having this kind of politician attribute?"
"I'm dying of laughter at the thought of a Golden Show Girl being a god-level NPC."
"Do we still have top-level subordinates like Abraham and Europa?"
"Speaking of which, shouldn't Europa be back by now?"
Su Yue is now waiting for Europa to return, otherwise his territory will lack resources for trade.
He also has high expectations for auction houses and the market.
Now that Europa has returned, we can complete the transactions on the market and exchange them for the resources we need.
