Chapter 13
The composting plant was completed before dark.
When the first building is constructed in the territory, two more attributes, [Health] and [Hygiene], are added to the territory's basic information.
【White Night Village】
Lord: White Night
Current population: 9
Population attraction: 10% basic attraction + 8% environmental attraction + 15% title added value
Building: Compost Plant x1
Health: 100
Hygiene: 95
Happiness: 80
The two newly added attributes are interrelated. Hygiene naturally represents the sanitary conditions of the territory's residential areas. If the hygiene is too low, the health of the territory will decline, and then large-scale epidemics will spread. By that time, if the territory has no medicine or medical buildings, it can only watch the infected villagers continue to lose blood from the disease until they die.
The composting plant built now serves as both a public toilet and a garbage dump, which can slow down the decline in the territory's sanitation. When the two technologies of [Bathhouse] and [Sewer] are unlocked in the future, the sanitation level can be maintained at a high level.
At the same time, hygiene is also part of environmental attractiveness. In addition, the surrounding trees and stones have been cleaned up in the past three days, and the current territory's environmental attractiveness bonus has increased from 3% to 8%.
The development of any territory is inseparable from the population. After two more game days, on the fifth day after the territory is built, the second wave of refugees will arrive. The level of population attraction will determine the size of the upcoming second wave of population.
Upgrading from a level 0 village to a level 1 village, the building requirements are relatively not difficult for Ye Bai. The most difficult indicator to achieve is that the territory population needs to reach 25.
Ye Bai’s current plan is to upgrade the territory to a level 1 village when the third wave of refugees arrives on the tenth day.
According to the normal pace of territory construction, upgrading a level 1 village is usually something that can only be considered on the 20th or 30th day, when the fourth or fifth wave of refugees arrive. Starting from the second month after the territory is built, the frequency of refugees joining will be fixed to once a month, and the number will be determined by the territory level and population attractiveness.
It is also due to the accumulation of various advantages that Ye Bai is able to do this.
On the third night, it was naturally "overtime" as usual. Ye Bai assigned all the manpower to the farmland near the composting plant.
On the fourth day, a piece of usable arable land was successfully cultivated.
Ye Bai assigned one villager to work in the compost plant, two villagers to collect berries and mushrooms, two villagers to continue collecting resources, and the remaining three villagers, including herself, went to the fields to sow seeds.
When you initially activate the [Planting] technology, you are given 100 seeds. These seeds are randomly generated 'unidentified seeds', and villagers responsible for collecting them also have a chance to pick them up in the wild. Without a [Botanist] professional, you can only know what crops will grow by planting them.
Therefore, you cannot get a bountiful harvest the first time you plant crops. You must first identify and screen the seeds, and only after the second batch of planting can you truly achieve the goal of mass food production.
When Ye Bai was halfway through planting, he suddenly received a system prompt:
[The Source Crystal Mine (Primary) has been completed]
Ye Bai was overjoyed. With the source energy crystal, the construction speed of the territory could be increased exponentially!
She immediately assigned a villager to work at the Source Crystal Mine, and at the same time checked the mine's construction information.
[Source Crystal Mine (Primary)]
Building level: Primary
Mining efficiency: 10%
Output quality: poor-normal
Current workers: Carrie, Holmes
Although the mining efficiency is poor and the output quality is low, it is definitely sufficient in the early stage and is many times better than firewood and coal.
Ye Bai opened her talent page. She had been using energy protection for the villagers these days. She had also upgraded to level 12 with experience points and had saved one talent point that had not been used.
Now that he saw that the source energy crystal mine was built, Ye Bai immediately added this talent point to the [Skillful Hands] talent.
A familiar feeling of blood surging came over him, and various images of making objects with his hands and using weapons flooded into his mind. Ye Bai subconsciously moved his hands and felt that they became unusually dexterous. Both hands had the same flexibility and were extremely coordinated.
Having experienced the "rolling" skill in reality last time, Ye Bai would not regard this feeling as a game special effect this time.
【Skillful Hands】
Unique passive: Collection and production efficiency +10%; two-hand coordination and synchronization;
At the same time, after lighting up the talent, a series of system prompts were refreshed:
You have mastered the production of primary tools.
【You have mastered the use of more weapons】
【You have mastered the basic inlay method】
The passive effect is one of them. Although the skillful hand talent does not have active skills like rolling, it makes up for it in another aspect. First, it can directly make basic tools, and second, it can master the use of more weapons. This means that when Ye Bai uses basic weapons now, he can have more attack forms instead of the previous simple attack.
A shield can be used to block attacks by [Raise Hand], while weapons such as swords, axes, and sticks can be used to [Charge Power Attack].
Talents are also hierarchically connected. After unlocking the Dexterity Talent, in the next level of talent, there is a [Weapon Mastery]. After lighting it up, you can master more ways to use weapons, including some important combat skills [Shield Counterattack] and [Combo].
However, at this stage, the most important thing for Ye Bai is the last basic inlay method.
[Primary inlay] is commonly known as "punching holes" in props, and then inlaying various gems to give the props additional effects.
Not only weapons and equipment can be used to drill holes, but tools can also be used.
This is the beauty of the fantasy world. What Ye Bai said before about the internal combustion engine hoe was no joke.
In the technological world, to unleash the kinetic energy of the internal combustion engine, a supporting industrial base must be established to produce corresponding complex machinery. However, in the myriad worlds, this long step in the middle can be omitted.
Ye Bai immediately went to the pile of materials and picked up two stones and a piece of wood.
[Do you want to make a 'Stone Axe'? This will consume 5 points of Stamina.]
【yes】
[Do you want to perform the 'Primary Inlay' on the 'Stone Axe'? This will consume 10 points of Stamina.]
【yes】
After lighting up the talent of dexterity, Ye Bai can make the most basic tools such as axes, pickaxes, and hoes without a special blacksmith shop. However, it consumes a lot of physical strength, and without the experience reserves like Ye Bai, it is not affordable.
After making the stone axe, Ye Bai picked up a piece of source energy crystal that had been mined not long ago and embedded it in the stone axe. Its properties immediately changed.
【Stone Ax】
Level: Ordinary
Attack: 2
Work efficiency: 100% (+500%)
Durability: 100%
Inlay: Source Crystal (poor)
A source energy crystal of standard quality can be used to drive a golem. When embedded in such a primary tool, it is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Even the source energy crystal of the lowest quality can directly increase the working efficiency of the tool by five times.
As for the effect of this fivefold work efficiency...
Ye Bai took a stone axe, found a mature tree, and chopped it with the axe.
"Bang...Boom!" The tree fell down with just one chop.
Before, chopping down such a tree would consume 4 points of stamina and 2% of durability. But now, Ye Bai only consumed 1 point of stamina and the durability of the stone axe was only consumed by 0.5%. Add to that the time saved by chopping down so many fewer trees, and the difference is not small.
This wave is stable!
Ye Bai immediately took out the remaining tools from the Tree of Creation. The villagers had been working overtime these days, and there were only less than ten new tools left.
The current output of source energy crystals is 3 pieces a day, and the quality is between coarse and ordinary. Ye Bai first embedded the ordinary-grade source energy crystals he had just collected into the pickaxe, and replaced them with Carrie and another villager Holmes, which immediately increased the collection efficiency of the two to 8 pieces a day.
Then that afternoon, Ye Bai stood guard at the entrance of the mine, and every time a source energy crystal was mined, he would insert a pickaxe.
After dinner in the evening, he led the entire village's labor force to "work overtime" in the Yuannengjing Mine.
By the morning of the fifth day, the fluorite in Ye Bai's backpack was completely used up, but in the temporary pile of materials, thirty various tools inlaid with source energy crystals were neatly placed.
Along with these thirty tools, there also appeared the first group of refugees who had just joined the territory.
[There are 8 refugees who want to join your territory. Do you agree? ]
【yes】
Soon, eight new villagers arrived at the territory: "Greetings, Lord."
"Welcome! You've arrived just in time."
Ye Bai immediately went to meet them, and then took them to the temporary material pile with great enthusiasm.
"Come, come, let me show you a treasure..."
