Chapter 12
After nightfall on the first day of the game, the well was dug in just three hours.
The construction speed of a building is directly related to the manpower invested. At night, Ye Bai invested all nine manpower in the territory into one building, and the time spent was naturally shortened exponentially.
After the villagers gathered around the Tree of Creation and went to sleep, Ye Bai also temporarily logged off.
In the Star Network space, Ye Bai glanced at his emails. The number of emails in them had reached trillions and was still increasing.
Naturally, they are people from the universe who want to buy strategies from "Bai Ye". Since Ye Bai's last appearance in the Star Alliance, the entire universe has known her on the Star Network and can send her one-way messages.
This is also the special nature of the Star Network. If it were in Ye Bai's era, she would probably be blocked by the huge amount of information when she opened her mailbox.
Ye Bai ignored this information for the time being. She didn't dare to use the star coins she earned now. It would be better to wait for a while until the players grew and developed to a certain level in the game and had in-game resources. Then she could consider trading with some big forces and use star coins as a 'bonus' in the transaction.
From this perspective, the ability of interstellar players to register as official players will bring greater benefits to Ye Bai than being able to act in the game as tourists - making money in reality is secondary to her, and long-term development in the universe is the key.
What kind of money can be made from a bunch of "refugees"? Of course, the lords and adventurers are the richest!
In the PC version of Wanjie, players can choose between lord and adventurer modes. If they don't want to manage the territory, they can just use it as a casual 'home'.
Because in the original design, normal players who want to manage their territory seriously will at least pursue a Seed of Creation with a prosperity greater than 2. From Ye Bai's start, we can see how much effect an extra policy slot can have.
Each player initially comes with a copy key. If they quit for various reasons before completing the copy, they can consume supplies to reset the copy and adjust to a higher difficulty level. However, once the copy is completed, no matter what level of Seed of Creation they obtain, the copy key will disappear.

The current holographic version of the universe no longer has a mall, which means that when future interstellar civilizations discover this difference, future games will be able to more thoroughly distinguish between true lord-type players and individual adventurer-type players who have given up developing their territories.
Ye Bai can even predict that in the future, large territories in games will be based on civilizations, and most of the residents in the territories will not be NPCs, but players of that civilization.
Then Ye Bai took a quick look at the news about Wanjie. Most of the news was about the different attitudes of NPCs, the reduced difficulty of obtaining tasks, etc.
After all, only one day of game time has passed. Even if players have experience with guest accounts, if they don’t directly challenge the nightmare copy like Ye Bai, they can only level up one or two levels at most and won’t be able to access too many things.
Moreover, there is competition among cosmic civilizations. Even if there are any new discoveries, they will probably be discussed in forums within their own civilizations.
For example, Ye Bai did not find any news discussing the wilderness opening.
With so many players pouring in, there must be some lucky players born in the wilderness. Obviously, this matter has now become an unspoken secret among interstellar civilizations, and they are all exploring and trying it in secret.
Ye Bai smiled slightly, which was exactly what she wanted. Her goal was to make the whole universe mistakenly believe that Bai Ye was a changed player above level 20.
Exit the star network and return to reality.
In the morning light, Ye Bai bought another bottle of nutrient solution from the vending machine on the public seat and drank almost half of it. After another day in the game, she came out and drank the remaining half.
Because the nutrient solution is a high-energy polymer, the human body's absorption rate is extremely high, and even the need to go to the toilet becomes extremely low. The effect is not much different from the "Bigu Pill" in fantasy novels.
So Ye Bai didn't delay any longer. After stretching his body, he lay back on the chair.
What’s 997 to the villagers? Their hardworking lord is 007!
…
On the morning of the third day after the construction of Baiye Village, Ye Bai and Carrie stood at a distance from the diversion tunnel that the villagers had dug overtime day and night.
Carrie asked Ye Bai: "My Lord, everything is ready. Shall we detonate it now?"
"Detonate." Ye Bai nodded affirmatively and covered his ears with his hands very foresightedly.
After getting confirmation, Carrie reached out and snapped her fingers——
"Boom..."
A muffled sound came from the sealed tunnel, and the ground beneath the two people's feet also shook slightly.
Ye Bai looked at Carrie's move with admiration. Only after changing jobs would the "psychic energy", commonly known as the blue bar, appear in the attribute panel. The use of professional skills requires the consumption of psychic energy.
What Carrie is using now is the basic professional skill [Detonation] of [Demolition Expert]. The combat style of this profession is to use bombs with various special effects to fight. With a snap of the fingers, the bomb can be detonated from a distance, and she never looks back at the explosion, which is very cool.
However, although he admires it, Ye Bai has already had a general idea about his future career change and will not follow this route.
After waiting for the aftermath of the explosion to subside, the two men approached the mine.
Most of the stone wall that had been sealed off had been blown open. Before Carrie actually stepped into the cave to check the situation, her expression changed. She had already sensed the energy fluctuations inside.
After the two of them walked into the cave together, a deep blue light appeared after the hard rock was blown open.
This is the highest level of energy in the technology tree of all worlds - source energy crystal.
Because Ye Bai has not unlocked the prerequisite technology of [Energy Exploration], even though Carrie is a senior engineer and has the ability to build a source energy crystal mine, she cannot confirm the location of the source energy crystal mine. Even if she obeys Ye Bai's arrangements out of loyalty, it does not mean that she completely believes that a mine can be mined here.
Now that the facts were laid out before Carly, this senior professional immediately became convinced of Ye Bai.
"My Lord... Awesome!"
[Villager 'Kari''s loyalty to you +5]
Ye Bai was surprised. It was not easy to gain favor with high-level professionals. The other villagers had a meal of barbecue skewers yesterday and gained two points of loyalty, but only Carrie had no luck. He did not expect to have such an unexpected gain after the successful mining.
"Hahaha... Carrie, I'll trouble you with the subsequent construction of the mine."
"No problem!" Carly was full of energy. Source energy crystal ore was a precious resource that only a few big cities had. She could already foresee the future development of Baiye Village. As a veteran professional in the territory, she would definitely get better career development here.
"Then you go ahead and get busy. If you run out of energy, I'll use my energy to protect you."
"good……"
Carrie looked at Ye Bai's back with a look of awe. [Energy Protection] is a precious ability that only lords can use. It is normal to use it once in a while, but... in the past two and a half days, every villager in the village has had the honor of experiencing it once, and some people have even experienced it twice.
This lord's energy is truly terrifying...
…
Ye Bai came to the temporary material storage area next to the Tree of Creation, where a pile of materials collected by the villagers waiting to be synthesized had already been piled up.
In addition to stone and wood, there is also some iron ore.
Ye Bai counted the quantity and found that he was still 8 pieces of iron ores short of the materials needed to build the blacksmith shop. It should take another half day to collect them.
However, the other materials are enough to build another building.
Ye Bai opened the building's vision, then walked along the central axis of the Tree of Creation to the edge, which was nearly 600 meters away, and chose to use the building blueprint [Compost Plant].
This was the first secondary technology Ye Bai selected in the early stage of building the city. It was [Irrigation and Fertilization] that was unlocked after [Planting]. It was also the first building Ye Bai built in the village, which shows its importance - wells and campfires are "infrastructure" and are not counted in the "territory buildings" category.
After planning the blueprint, Ye Bai immediately gave orders and arranged two villagers to come and build the building. The building is expected to be completed before nightfall tonight.
The scraps of meat in Ye Bai's hands can only last for today. She has other uses for the high-quality meat obtained from killing the angry-horned beast. Among the eight villagers except Carrie, two are collecting iron ore, two are building a composting plant, and two people are arranged by Ye Bai to collect berries nearby. The last two are cultivating a small piece of land in the area planned by Ye Bai.
Relying on collecting berries and mushrooms nearby can only last for a while at most, and food will soon be scarce. Farming as a stable source of food is the sooner you start, the better.
According to the game settings, under the protection of the Seed of Creation, the crop growth cycle in this world will become very fast.
If "Wanjie" really harvests crops once a year like in reality, it would be too painful for players who like to enjoy the sense of harvest from farming. Therefore, the growth cycle of crops in the game is about one month, and various means can be used to increase production and speed up crop growth.
This design is to save a lot of farmland space, so that the lord player can have more space to plan buildings in the territory, and there will also be more areas around the territory to spawn monsters, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
However, Ye Bai suspects that this setting of harvesting one fruit per month may be considered normal by StarCraft players who have achieved the liberation of productivity.
And now Ye Bai is the first to build a composting plant, and the reason is very simple.
During the first fifteen days of city building, to prevent the lord player's villagers from starving to death, an additional 15% growth rate bonus will be given to crops, assuming they only ripen once a month. In this case, if you fertilize the crops to speed up their growth...
Then this fertilizer cannot be called fertilizer, it must be called Jinkela.
