Chapter 48
It has been almost half a month since the last time Bai Ye became popular throughout the universe. The name Bai Ye had disappeared from the universe news, but it reappeared in the news in the past one or two days.
The first moment Ye Bai saw these news entries, she naturally thought of the group of "interstellar agents" who had attacked her caravan before.
Ye Bai was only slightly surprised by this, not even surprised.
It should be said that as early as when she encountered that group of players, she had anticipated that the other party might guess her identity.
After all, everyone is on the "Blue Star Server" and can enter the inner city that others cannot enter. The equipment on their bodies seems to be far superior to that of players at the same stage. It is normal that Ye Bai reminds people of Bai Ye.
However, even if they thought or even confirmed that the Ye Bai they met in the game was Bai Ye, it would not be a big deal, because those people did not know that the "wild BOSS" they helped her defeat before was a job transfer challenge for a hidden profession. Ye Bai's interactions with other players at other times did not reveal any information that she could not reveal.
The only piece of information that Ye Bai in the game cannot reveal is, in the final analysis, the 'time of Bai Ye's job change'.
As for the location of Baiye Village, even if a trade route is opened, it is basically impossible for players who cannot enter the inner city to find it at this stage.
It is difficult for players who have not become professionals to enter the inner city, let alone the merchant guild. If they blindly explore around Melo City, players who have not changed their profession will be killed by monsters above level 20 first.
The only strategy with a very small probability of reaching Baiye Village at this stage is to enter the inner city of Melo City through the mission, spend a lot of money to trade more than 5 gold coins in the Merchant Guild, join the Merchant Guild, and finally obtain the trade route map from Melo City to Baiye Village.
There are very few players who can achieve this, and it is meaningless to spend such a huge price to come to Baiye Village at this time.
Now Baiye Village is no longer as defenseless as before in terms of armed forces. The ten newly joined first-level combat professionals are also quite powerful in the territory of the same stage, enough to deal with all kinds of troublemakers.
What's more, it's not just Bai Ye himself. Bai Ye Village will appear in front of the players sooner or later... Oh, to be precise, it's Bai Ye Town.
According to the current upgrade speed of players and the duration of the job transfer tasks, Ye Bai estimated that when the territory is upgraded to the town level, it will be about time to start contacting players and even the territory.
To this end, Ye Bai prepared a package plan to focus on training the following professions: Alchemist, Blacksmith, Tailor... As a player who understands what other players need best, she vigorously develops the manufacturing industry in the territory, waiting for the time when the territory is opened to the public to attract players to come and consume.
Players are the real leeks, their spending power is even stronger than that of the nobles, and there is always another crop after one is harvested.
After browsing through the hot news one by one, there was not much substantive content in them. Ye Bai suspected that these news were released by the civilization whose agents had suffered losses to test her reaction.
After confirming that the situation was under control, Ye Bai turned off the news.
Whether the person who appeared in Melo City was Bai Ye or not is left to all parties to guess.
In the Ten Thousand Worlds, a new game day has arrived.
In Ruilan Village, Zeta, one of the candidates for the emperor of the Ruilan Empire, was waiting alone beside the Tree of Creation.
[There are 9 refugees who wish to join your territory. Do you agree? ]
【yes】
Zeta immediately chose to agree, and looking at the new people joining the population, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, Zeta looked at the villagers who were building a building, and anxiety appeared on his face again.
Zeta was born in the wilderness. Even though he has telepathy with other members of his tribe at this stage, his strength does not allow him to come to this territory to help Zeta before he changes his job.
Not only are they unable to deal with the various high-level monsters they encounter along the way, but there is also a problem of supplies along the way, so Zeta can only lead the villagers alone to develop the territory.
With three policy slots, Ruilan Village's territory construction wasn't as fast as Ye Bai's, who had the "cheat" of active energy crystals, but it was still well-organized. Now, on the 20th day after the territory was built, the population had reached the conditions for upgrading to a Level 1 territory.
However, the final construction of the 10 residential buildings and 1 vocational building required by the construction is still in full swing.
This situation occurs because, in addition to not being able to work overtime at night and not having efficient tools, he is also unable to use [Energy Protection] as generously as Ye Bai.
It was also because Zeta, as a technologically advanced Ruilan alien, fundamentally overestimated the work efficiency of NPCs in the Ten Thousand Worlds. During the construction of the territory, because he did not immediately reclaim farmland and develop hunting technology to find a sustainable source of food, a brief food crisis broke out in the territory for two days.
Even with the support of the policy card, the villagers' work efficiency dropped sharply due to hunger, and it took three days to dig a well.
When food was scarce, Zeta had to assign more people to go to nearby places to collect berries and mushrooms. Berries are a short-term non-renewable resource. Once the nearby ones are picked, it takes more energy to go to farther places to collect them, thus forming a vicious cycle.
Finally, under the pressure of declining loyalty satisfaction, a fisherman's hut was built on the edge of the lake surrounding the territory to alleviate the problem.
Zeta obtained the title of "Second Lord", which increased the territory's population attractiveness by 10% and the probability of rare talents appearing by 10%.
There was one special talent, but Zeta had no insight into the talent and strategy, and could not tap the talent's potential as well as Ye Bai did. He could only give the other party a job that would not reduce his satisfaction through trial and error.
“Knock, knock…”
With the last sound of the completion of a residential building, Zeta breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally reached the standard for upgrading to a level 1 territory.
Opening the Lords Ranking List, the first place Bai Ye's score of 3213 immediately caught her attention.
Every time she opened this ranking list, Zeta couldn't help but be "stung" by Bai Ye's score. The huge difference in digits made it difficult for her not to pay attention.
As a result of Zeta's efforts over the past 20 days, his score has only reached 46 in the current Lords Ranking.
Fortunately, the Luofei Village built by the Lord Ximo of the Kain Federation below 13 game days ago currently has a score of 32, which is the same as the progress estimated by Zeta.
It seems that Bai Ye is the only one with an outrageous score.
Zeta paid attention to the score changes of Baiye Village every day. From the 2516 she first encountered to the following 19 game days, the score increased steadily by 10 to 20 every day.
Then yesterday, Baiye Village's score skyrocketed like a rocket, surging by nearly 400 points!
As lord players, they are also powerful figures from two cosmic civilizations in reality. The forces behind them represent two major civilizations. Zeta and Ximo couldn't help but be curious when looking at Bai Ye's score. The desire to beat the opponent in score was stronger and more anxious than ever before.
In their view, the force behind Bai Ye is the Chaos Star Sea. If their two major civilizations cannot catch up, it would be a great loss of face and would seriously damage the powerful image of the Star Alliance.
The research group within the Ruilan civilization held an emergency meeting to discuss the reasons and basically confirmed that the caravan that appeared in Melo City a few days ago was Bai Ye. Finally, after speculating from various aspects, they believed that the most likely possibility was related to the trade route.
Now that the conditions were met, in order to open up the trade route as quickly as possible, Zeta immediately chose to upgrade the territory.
However, just after choosing OK, Zeta received a system prompt:
[The blossoming of the Creation Tree has attracted surrounding beasts. Please be prepared for defense tonight.]
How could this happen when upgrading a territory?!
Looking at the territory without any defensive facilities, Zeta felt a buzzing in his head... Shouldn't they be less clinging to the pride of cosmic civilization and buy a territory construction strategy from Bai Ye earlier?
[There are 52 refugees who wish to join your territory. Do you agree? ]
【yes】
All done!
With Ye Bai's confirmation, the population of Baiye Village jumped from 68 to 120.
The upgrade conditions for a level 2 territory are to have 30 residential buildings, 4 professional buildings, a market, and a territory population of 60. Ye Bai met these requirements early on.
At the same time, although the upgrade conditions for the level 3 territory were not displayed on the [Development Strategy] page at this time, Ye Bai naturally knew that the content was "the territory has 60 residential houses, 3 professionals, and the territory population reaches 100."
Compared with the level 2 territory, the population requirements of the level 3 territory are not so high, but judging from the three required professionals, it can be clearly seen that this stage begins to pay attention to the training of territory professionals.
Originally, Ye Bai could not meet this requirement. In addition to herself as a whisperer and senior engineer Carrie, she also needed to change the job of Lucy, who had the highest proficiency, because Dilina was not yet considered a villager of the territory.
After tricking the mercenaries into joining the territory, this goal was exceeded in one fell swoop, and the number of professionals in the territory suddenly increased by a full 10.
This is also the reason why Zeta saw Ye Bai's score suddenly soar yesterday. It was due to the bonus of the opening of the first trade route and the joining of professionals.
The sky slowly changed, until he confirmed that the wooden fence and arrow tower had been built, and Ye Bai touched the Tree of Creation -
[The conditions for upgrading to level 2 territory have been met. Do you want to upgrade? ]
【yes】
[The conditions for upgrading to level 3 territory have been met. Do you want to upgrade? ]
【yes】
Two levels in a row!
