Chapter 169
After confirming the effect of the ability, Ye Bai put away the jade terminal.
It would be nice to get it for free, but she is not in urgent need of points right now.
Although the jade terminal is in an anonymous state, the charging of the ether laboratory is the same as other functions in the exchange area, which is directly completed in a way that Ye Bai does not understand. The chaotic star sea is not an orderly society like the Star Alliance, but considering that there is a Star Church, she still does not intend to use it wantonly.
The 20 points account used for the experiment, Ye Bai can "tour" it again to become a consumed state after the skill cooldown time is over.
After all, Ye Bai didn't use hacking methods to increase her points. As long as she didn't redeem more than the previous amount again, the "account" would be normal in theory.
If the 20-point charging account used for the experiment really caused a bad reaction in a short period of time, Ye Bai could just discard this terminal and the identity of Black Hole and find a way to get a "new account".
In general, the only best experimental item Ye Bai has at hand is the jade terminal. Otherwise, even if he uses ordinary items to experiment with the effect of the ability, he cannot confirm whether it can be applied to the terminal and bring benefits such as "refreshing" the star points.
The time when this free-riding method really comes into play is during some critical combat moments, when it can be used to exchange various powerful technologies in the area on a large scale.
After the experiment yielded his ability, Ye Bai returned to the Ten Thousand Worlds in a good mood.
If this is the effect in the historical tour of 'Reality vs. Reality', then this skill 'Game vs. Game' should be similar.
In reality, Ye Bai still has some concerns, but in the world, she is unscrupulous.
The sun is rising, and it is a new day in the White Night City.
Ye Bai went to the Finance Department, which showed that Bai Ye City's positive financial income had reached an astonishing 1,338 gold coins.
The difference between one person making money and an entire city making money lies here. Even for Ye Bai, who is now a wealthy man, it is a considerable fortune.
Of course, this is certainly due to the conversion of profits from Ye Bai’s previous occupation of resource points, but this development is absolutely benign.
After the initial investment period, it developed from a small village of more than ten people into a large city of more than 2,000 people. Although this population is nothing in the interstellar era, in a world with such a high level of productivity, Baiye City finally began to make money for Lord Ye Bai.
"Hello, Lord!"
"Greetings, Lord!"
After walking out of the lord's mansion, Ye Bai once again received a large number of greetings from the residents of the city.
The residents Ye Bai encountered today were completely different from those he had encountered in the past. Thanks to the well-developed sewing industry, the territory's residents no longer wore coarse linen clothing. Instead, they now wore work clothes tailored to different professions, as well as everyday clothing made of various materials and styles. A subtle trend in clothing had already emerged throughout the city.
Walking on the streets were many aristocratic travelers dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes.
Because the inner city foundation of White Night City has been completely built, different from the three main cities which have their own architectural styles, the basic building facilities here take the essence of them and integrate them into a unique style that is similar to but different from them.
Infrastructure in the outer city area is also under construction. In addition to residential and military areas, the former agricultural and industrial areas are expanding their industries outward. This is the only way for a village to transform into a city.
All the more basic industries are moving to the outer city area. Ye Bai converted the first few farmlands in the inner city area into [Source Energy Greenhouses] for growing various high-level magic potions, and the farmlands for supplying food to the residents of the territory were opened up in the outer city area.
The same is true for industrial areas. After lighting up the [Primary Energy Utilization] of various production facilities, the production capacity has been greatly liberated, greatly improving the production capacity and efficiency. Ordinary tailor shops and blacksmith shops built in the outer city area can meet the supply of daily clothing and tools in the territory.
The tailor shops and blacksmith shops in the most core locations, which are staffed by top talents in the territory, have all upgraded their industries and are now focused on producing various high-end extraordinary equipment and props.
On the way to the Tree of Creation, Ye Bai took a look at the lord rankings.
First place, Bai Ye, territory score: 132744, occupied resource points: 1
Second place, Zeta, territory score: 48428
Third place, Ximo, territory score, 47973
Fourth place...
When other territories realized the importance of knowledge, began to find ways to accumulate school tendencies, and were forced to make steady efforts, the territory score of White Night City took the lead and continued to grow rapidly.
In addition to the completion of the infrastructure of the inner city with the assistance of a large number of players, the intermediate knowledge of the three major schools was also "delivered" after the expansion of the library, which also increased the territory score.
As for the reduction in the number of resource points, it is because the resources in the resource points that Ye Bai first opened have been mined, and the displayed number will change in real time.
By touching the tree trunk, Ye Bai obtained detailed information about his current territory.
【White Night City】
Lord: White Night
Current population: 2,131
Population attractiveness: 82% basic attractiveness + 69% environmental attractiveness + 50% title added value
Health: 96
Hygiene: 95
Entertainment: 98
Luxury goods demand: 120 (sugar, fine wine, furniture, fabrics, crafts, jewelry)
Personal hobby needs: (1/7)
Happiness: 99
Education rate: General education (72%), full-time education (18%), extraordinary knowledge I (1%)
Willingness to live abroad: 32
It has been more than a month since the last game upgrade, and all the conditions for upgrading to the eighth-level territory have been met except for the full-time education rate, including the newly added noble residence intention.
The value of willingness to live abroad is floating and can be summarized as "tourism market share".
It is positively correlated with the various infrastructures, high-end luxury goods on sale, and extraordinary knowledge levels of the current territory. Ye Bai had been brushing copies without stopping before, and mined a large amount of high-end resources. After processing, these resources became various high-end items, attracting a large number of noble tourists.
It can be said that the current player city tourism market is basically monopolized by White Night City. The large number of nobles active in the territory, who are also high-level NPCs, have in turn attracted a large number of players to complete tasks, making it the most prosperous player territory in the world today.
During the time he was away, a new batch of refugees arrived in Baiye City. However, after the construction of a primary academy in the territory, Lord Ye Bai no longer needed to "identify the gems" on his own as he did in the past.
Talented people will be discovered during the education stage, then trained and sent to suitable positions.
After leaving the Tree of Creation and walking a few steps, Ye Bai saw Felix and Blaise who were on their daily patrol from afar. When they saw her, they immediately came forward to greet her with their big white teeth grinning.
"Lord!"
Ye Bai smiled back at them. At this moment, the paper man on the waist pendant suddenly spoke, his voice full of obvious eagerness:
"Master Bai Ye, the library has added new intermediate knowledge. Do we need to start classes again?"
"You..." Ye Bai took a breath, and then his expression gradually became excited: "I have known for a long time that you are a talent!"
So, when Felix and Blaise ran over excitedly, they learned a new piece of news that made their smiles turn to Ye Bai's face -
Teacher Wuming’s small classroom is about to start again!
The two were assigned to issue a new batch of "admission notices" to the previous graduates, while Ye Bai continued on his way.
When passing the residential area, the aroma of a bakery wafted in. Ottophis gave Ye Bai a look and disappeared around the corner.
Ye Bai shook his head and went to the warehouse area to inspect it.
Today, the advanced warehouses in White Night City are still stockpiling a large amount of advanced materials harvested from resource points, and the player equipment collected last time has been cleared out and exchanged for the players' labor. However, the number of players active in White Night City has not decreased.
Because players always want to improve their levels, after redeeming their original equipment, they have to start looking for equipment for future upgrades. In the entire Blue Star server, the most reasonably priced and high-yield new equipment that can meet the needs of second-level players... is all in White Night City.
White Night City now has a fiscal revenue of more than a thousand gold coins. In addition to the consumption of traveling nobles, players also account for a considerable share of it.
"Hey, Lord?"
Ye Bai was enjoying the joy brought by the full warehouse of resources when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him. Turning around, he saw Dilina also coming here, followed by two apprentices.
Seeing this posture, Ye Bai reacted immediately: "Are you here to get materials?"
Ye Bai was currently in the high-end warehouse of the territory, which stored various high-end resources. Only those with sufficient ability and status in Baiye City could obtain materials here, and the master tailor Dilina was naturally one of them.
Dilina nodded, and after telling the apprentices to get the necessary materials, she approached Ye Bai and said, "I'm so glad to meet you. I have something I want to ask you if you can help me..."
The smell of a mission... Ye Bai became alert upon hearing this familiar opening line.
NPCs also issue tasks to different people. If players cannot meet the basic task conditions, they will not even ask for the task. What's more, the person in front of him is Dilina, who has 100% loyalty to Ye Bai. If it is a small task that an ordinary player can handle, she will not specifically ask Ye Bai, the lord.
As expected, Dilina continued, "This is about a friend of mine. He's a high-end jeweler and happened to be traveling to White Night City. If I can help him solve this problem, he will definitely be willing to open a high-end jewelry store here."
Hearing this, Ye Bai's eyes lit up. She was no longer sleepy when talking about high-end jewelry stores.
The territory's jewelry industry is still at an early stage. After all, this luxury industry is not something that cities and below can get involved in. There are still many high-end gems in the warehouse, but they have to be idle because the craftsmen's professional level is not high enough.
If a high-end jeweler could open a store, bring in technical talent, and even collect taxes on processing, it would be beneficial to Ye Bai, not to mention that according to Dilina, this task is still a personal task.
Ye Bai completed Dilina's personal mission at that time, but directly left the master tailor in the territory.
"What exactly happened? Let's talk about it in detail..."
