Chapter 151
After explaining things to Blaise, Ye Bai went back to the Tree of Creation and arranged the layout of the technological supporting buildings that had been lit up before.
Then she opened the [Development Strategy] page.
The upgrade requirements for the eighth-level territory appear: the territory population reaches 2,000 people; the full-time education rate reaches 20%; there is a society; the basic attractiveness of the territory reaches more than 70%; the nobles' willingness to live there reaches 20 points.
The 'basic strategy' for the first stage of city construction is actually reflected in the upgrade conditions.
This stage requires the lord player to transform the basic environment of the territory and complete the "urbanization" construction while maintaining the population and education. These conditions are all to support the last noble's willingness to live there.
In addition to making money, noble travel is also the most effective way to improve the tendencies of various schools besides trade routes. After upgrading to the eighth-level territory, one of the upgrade requirements for the ninth-level territory is the void capture device, which requires first-level knowledge of the three major schools.
Of course, for Ye Bai, this step has been completed in advance.
Next up is the new policy card selection.
After entering the city level, the original four town-level policy cards disappear, and many new strategy cards with higher levels and more diverse effects are added. Territory policies also need to be significantly adjusted compared to the town level.
Because Ye Baixin obtained the title of First City Lord, the effects are: 'The territory's population attractiveness increased by 30%; the probability of special talents appearing increased by 35%; the willingness of professionals to relocate increased by 40%; and the attraction of nobles increased by 30%.'
Therefore, she passed over [Magic Exploration I], [Alchemical Experiment I], and [Faith in Chaos I], which increased the accumulation speed of school tendencies; she passed over [Saving Expenses] and [Gold First], which she couldn't use because her wallet was too full... and finally chose four new policy cards that were suitable for the current situation.
[Work and Rest IV] For residents with an entertainment value of 80 or above, their work efficiency increases by 60% and their skill proficiency growth rate increases by 50%.
[Emergency Plan] When the territory encounters a safety or medical accident, the loss rate and infection rate are reduced by 50%.
[Everyone Worships Martial Arts] The speed of gaining personal experience points of territory residents is increased by 30%; the training speed of territory military units is increased by 40%; the basic attributes of territory military units after upgrading are increased by 20%.
[Academic Atmosphere] The learning speed of the territory's general schools, full-time schools, and academic societies increases by 30%; the probability of territory professionals producing new inventions increases by 20%.
There was a flash of light, and the new policy was applied.
In addition to using the first two policies to ensure the normal production and safety of the territory, White Night City had already completed other infrastructure construction earlier and only needed another upgrade.
With two card slots left, Ye Bai doesn't have to choose between learning literature or martial arts, he can directly choose "both literature and martial arts".
After all, most of the basic work in the territory can be "outsourced" in the future.
When Zhu Ya was resurrected outside an NPC town, it was already noon the next day in the Ten Thousand Worlds.
The warriors of cosmic civilizations possess at least D-level mental power, but the agents of this Blue Star Service Operation are mostly C-level in reality. After death, their mental bodies will be damaged and they will fall into a coma for an hour. At the same time, their mental power will be affected for 8 to 15 days, and they can only have half of their usual combat power.
However, this is the impact on reality. The compensation for this operation was sent to the participants of last night's battle together with the confidentiality agreement at the end of the post-war meeting to compensate for their losses in this battle.
The economic losses have been compensated, but the loss of time cannot be compensated.
Seeing that my level dropped from 41 to 36, it will take some time to make up for the lost experience. My current level has dropped to level one and I cannot use the second-level professional ability. The only consolation is that I don’t have to go through the job transfer task again when I upgrade to level 40.
In addition, there are the equipment and props in his backpack. Even if he can find someone to exchange real star coins for game currency, it will be difficult for him to find a channel to obtain the suitable equipment he obtained through tasks in a short period of time.
And this time, eighty percent of the players on the Blue Star server are in the same situation as Zhu Ya. After the operation is over, everyone will go their separate ways, and naturally there will be no relationship between them. The subsequent demand for equipment will inevitably affect the price increase in the equipment market... What is going on?
Looking around, he saw many players appearing nearby, going from illusory to solid.
After death, players will be randomly resurrected in a nearby NPC town where they have stayed. Last night everyone died in White Night Town... No, it is now called White Night City. Now, most of the resurrections online are in nearby towns.
I don't know what the current situation is in White Night City...
Thinking back to what happened last night, Zhu Ya no longer had any other feelings. The only feeling was that it was like a dream - after all, he was killed instantly, and the battle was not intense.
Bai Ye resurrected the undead army alone and wiped out their legion of 20,000 people. It is really hard to imagine for those who have not experienced it personally. Even they, the parties involved, are now in a daze.
However, due to their job responsibilities, they still have to go to Baiye Town to investigate. This is also their first task when they go online.
Now all the equipment and backpack are empty, so even if I am killed again, I won’t lose anything.
When Zhu Ya arrived at Bai Ye City, he saw many players who had arrived like him. It turned out that yesterday's battlefield had indeed been taken away by the NPCs of Bai Ye City.
Just when they were feeling disappointed, what Zhu Ya and the other players who had rushed over never expected was that from a distance, they suddenly saw the captain of the royal guards walking out of the city gate, glanced in their direction, and said something to the guards. Then, the guard team that had extended to the outside of the city wall began to withdraw, leaving only two regular city gate guards.
This situation is... after being closed for over half a month, White Night City has finally been reopened? And on the second day after the attack?
The agents nearby were very confused, but at this time, many other well-equipped players had already approached White Night City - the Star Network's curiosity about White Night City reached its peak, but no new news came. In this situation, some ordinary players from the Blue Star server had also rushed here.
The agents wearing the initial equipment did not act immediately, but just watched from the side, using those ordinary players who did not know what was happening to test the current attitude of White Night City.
Then, they saw those players entering White Night City safely without any hindrance.
The news quickly spread to the agents' respective civilizations, and soon after, the first person to attempt it appeared.
When they saw an agent who had obviously participated in yesterday's battle approaching White Night City and was not attacked by any NPCs in the city, everyone reacted and stepped into the city one after another with curiosity.
As we approached the city, we saw a city busy under construction.
At the same time, the attitude of the residents here did not turn into hostility, and from another perspective, it even became more "enthusiastic".
As Zhuya passed the sawmill, he heard a voice calling out:
"Hey! God-Blooded One over there, are you free now?"
Task!
Almost instantly, the player's instinct made Zhuya subconsciously turn his head and approach the speaking NPC.
Sure enough, the sawmill worker saw him coming and said to him, "We're expanding our territory now, and I'm really overwhelmed. I have some work to ask of you. Don't worry, your help won't be in vain."
[Sawmill worker 'Rock' has assigned you the task of 'Territory Expansion Work'. Do you accept it?]
【yes】
This was a daily task in the territory, and since he was short of money and experience, Zhu Ya accepted it without thinking.
[New task 'Territory Expansion Work' (recyclable)]
Mission Description: White Night City is undergoing a major expansion, and the residents of the territory have entrusted you with assisting in the work. The more times you complete the task, the more generous rewards you will receive.
Mission Rewards: Exquisite Wristbands (0/1), Horn Helmet (0/3)...
Mission time limit: 4 hours
Well, now Zhou Ya completely understood where the equipment dropped by the player army last night went, and he also understood why Bai Ye City opened its gates to welcome all players.
It seems that Bai Ye not only plundered their spoils, but also wanted to plunder their labor force!
This was an open conspiracy, a direct hook, but after the report was submitted, everyone took the bait, and they were scrambling to take the bait...
There was no other way. Last night, everyone lost their strongest equipment. Now, after death and downgrade, if they wanted to get equipment of the same level again, they would first have to find a way to restore their strength to the same level as before. This was obviously much more difficult than just working in White Night City.
Moreover, this time all the equipment of the player army fell into White Night City, which was equivalent to a reshuffle of equipment among them. The quality of the equipment obtained again was calculated based on the completion of the tasks in White Night City, and it was impossible to return it to the original owner.
If you don't work hard, you can only get lower-quality equipment. If you work hard, you may get better equipment than before. Not to mention that some ordinary players who did not participate in this operation have also come here, and they can also accept tasks without distinction.
Therefore, all the players who came to White Night City, after seeing the large number of tasks posted here, weighed the pros and cons and joined the new "construction army" of White Night City as quickly as possible.
In general, the players who took part in last night's action lost time and experience, but received real financial compensation. In fact, all final expenses were paid for by the United Front Work Department of the Star Alliance, which organized and initiated this action.
And Ye Bai... once again achieved a 'win-win' situation.
