"Tsk, are we finally going to build a lord's manor? I'm so excited~~~" Upon hearing Ye Chen say that he was going to build a lord's manor, the fat man excitedly rubbed his fat hands together.
The Lord's Mansion is a building exclusive to prodigies, not something an ordinary lord can obtain, let alone the blueprints for Ye Chen's Lord's Mansion, which are among the most top-tier Lord's Mansions.
"It won't be that fast. The Green Shade Lord's Mansion needs a lot of vines, which haven't been planted yet. Also, materials like stones need to be collected by the mountain gods," Ye Chen said, shaking his head.
He was eager to complete the Green Shade Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, since then the territory would be able to enjoy all the benefits brought by the Lord's Mansion, and he would have a real lord's residence.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The Green Shade Lord's Mansion needed a lot of vines, which required him to spend a lot of time planting them.
“That makes sense. Although vines have a shorter growth cycle, such a large quantity still requires a considerable amount of time!” The fat man nodded, his burning desire immediately subsiding.
"Although we can't build the lord's mansion, don't forget, we still have a workshop blueprint!" Ye Chen smiled and took out another blueprint he had obtained from the auction of the stone golem at the trade fair.
Workshop (Tier 1)
Required materials: 300 wood, 200 stone, 50 iron ore
Area: 200 square meters;
Choose from 3 workshop types: Blacksmithing, Jewelry Making, Engineering, Potion Making, Tailoring, and Leatherworking...
Attribute Bonus 1: Increases mental agility within the workshop by 20%.
The attributes of the workshop blueprints are very simple and straightforward. You can choose any 3 types of workshops and improve your mental agility.
Mental agility is a very abstract value, but it does exist. So-called active thinking and flashes of inspiration are all related to mental agility.
A 20% improvement means that the workshop can increase efficiency and creativity by 20%.
To make the creation of clans easier to succeed and more innovative.
"The attributes are simple, but they are very powerful!" the fat man said, looking at the attributes on the blueprint.
“Indeed, and the construction cost is not high; it's all basic materials.” Ye Chen nodded. They currently have no shortage of basic timber, stone, and iron ore.
"Then let's build it! Brother Chen, have you decided which three types of workshops to build?" the fat man asked.
"Project! Project! Project!" Ye Chen said, then shoved the blueprint into the fat man's arms.
"???" The fat man stared at him in utter confusion. "What the hell? Are they building another one for me?"
“Yeah, right! You’re such a jerk! Three projects can increase your mental agility by another 5% on top of what it is now. Let your goblins study engineering and get the teleportation array working soon!” Ye Chen nodded and said.
"No, Brother Chen, don't we need weapons and armor? Shouldn't we have a blacksmith and a tailor?"
"Did your math teacher teach you PE? The Territory Technology Research clearly states that noisy buildings cannot be built next to quiet buildings, such as Engineering and Forging."
"Unless you're not afraid of the flames of engineering, which, if you're startled, could blow your territory to smithereens with a flick of your wrist!"
"Um, for this subject, I remember copying your answers?" the fat guy said weakly. Forgive him, he really was a terrible student.
"Is there any subject you didn't plagiarize?" Ye Chen sighed and rubbed his forehead. If he became a lord through his brains, this guy definitely became one through his limbs.
"Emmmm, sports?"
"...gun!"
Ye Chen cursed irritably and kicked out.
However, the fat man didn't care, and spun around again.
"Brother Chen, you really want it? I'd even let you build three forging workshops here! We're really short of weapons and armor, aren't we?"
"Forging only requires a fire and a hammer; it doesn't need to be anything fancy. It's just for temporary use anyway. But you need to study engineering slowly and explore it little by little. You should hurry up and get started!" Ye Chen replied.
The main issue was that he wasn't sure if the forging techniques of the ancient races were the same as those of normal races. In mythology, didn't fire just appear with a wave of the hand? There might not be any need for forging workshops; it would be better to wait for them to build their own.
"Alright then!" Having received a positive reply, the fat man didn't hesitate and returned to his floating island with the blueprints.
Soon, a 200-square-meter building was erected, and many goblins began to enter it.
These were the goblins he had selected with engineering talent, and they would become the main force in his research team.
Seeing that the workshop had been built, Ye Chen stopped paying attention and continued to organize his own things.
In addition to the crops he had planted before, he also traded a lot of seeds and poultry at the trade fair.
"Cotton trees, mulberry trees, and apple trees—these are all to be planted over there in the woods."
"By the way, we must plant rice. How can southerners not have white rice to eat?"
"And chili peppers, they're a great seasoning!"
"Ye Ling, find a few people to be in charge of planting these vines on that open space over there. Make sure they survive, as they will be used to build the lord's mansion later."
"And these silly geese, Earth God, drive them to the chicken coop and have the Mountain God build a shed for them. Once they're well-fed, we can have stewed goose in an iron pot later."
"By the way, Lu Ban, could you find a few people to dig a pond for me? It doesn't need to be too big. I'll raise a few golden-winged fish so we can have fish to eat later!"
...
Ye Chen arranged things one by one, and the entire territory entered a period of vigorous development.
Three days later, all the materials were finally gathered, and the Green Shade Lord's Mansion rose from the ground amidst everyone's expectant gaze. The entire territory was instantly enveloped in a vast expanse of vitality, and even the area of the territory expanded considerably in that instant.
Furthermore, the discovery that tender green grass was even sprouting on the muddy ground delighted the Silverleaf Moon Elves.
Ye Chen and the fat man arrived at the lord's mansion with slight excitement.
This is an extremely tall and magnificent building. Although it occupies the same area as the workshop, only 200 square meters, its height is twice that of the workshop.
The entire building is made of sturdy wood and leans against a silver laurel tree, with vines hanging down, making it look like a building hidden in the woods.
However, the front of the lord's mansion is still very magnificent, with its usual grand gate. Although it is made of wood, one can still feel the solemnity and weight emanating from it.
"Wow, this is awesome!" the fat man exclaimed. Such a lord's mansion was undoubtedly what every lord longed for.
"Indeed, and his attributes are even more handsome~~~"
