Chapter 66 Fourth Settlement Day Ranking Rewards
Seeing so many of his teammates gone, the bugs tactfully fled. The citizens, satisfied as they watched their points rise in their handbooks, left the city walls.
Yu Luowei also earned a considerable amount of points. However, she first needed to repair the city's defense shield. Repairing the city's defense shield consumed points, with one point costing two points of defense. The insect infestation had cost over three thousand points of defense, and Yu Luowei had some points left after using them to repair the damage, so she also upgraded the city wall to level 7.
From the chats between cities, it became clear that this was a test for all survivor gathering points. However, other city lords didn't have as many materials as Yu Luowei, so they focused on upgrading their cities and ignored the level of their walls. Therefore, solving this problem took considerable effort, not to mention ordinary organization gathering points without walls.
The citizens of North City, seemingly modest but actually boasting about their gains, posted about their gains in the group chat, drawing a wave of envy from other citizens. Even the patients currently in the hospital expressed their envy in the chat room.
It seems that if there is a city ranking this season, North City will be number one. Yu Luowei was very satisfied and bought materials to replenish the goods in various stores. Everyone has earned a lot of points today, and their desire to consume is very strong. They are about to buy out the whole store.
Everyone can craft equipment, it's just a matter of blueprint level, but making potions on your own is a bit of a struggle. Right now, I don't have a potion skill book or brewing stand, but I hope to get them tomorrow so I can train a pharmacist.
Ma Tuan was now an adult panda, and Yu Luowei could no longer carry him easily. The second nest was also a bit small. Yu Luowei simply made a large bed out of the hardest gentian wood the system said was best and placed it next to her bed. From then on, Ma Tuan would sleep in the same bed with her.
The other requirements for upgrading a city to the next level were relatively easy, except for the requirement to have at least 500 bases (because some people shared bases with their children), which currently only amounted to a little over 200. Yu Luowei counted her points and materials and decided that if nothing unexpected happened tomorrow, she would upgrade her own shelter to the maximum level first. After that, she would only focus on upgrading the city.
On the fourth settlement day with Ma Tuan, as expected, the system sent a notification at 8 o'clock on time:
Hello everyone! It's great to see you all on the fourth settlement day! The normal rules remain the same, but since most of you have already found your own "organizations," there will be a few additional rules:
1. Added "Merge" and "Conquest" options between cities. For details, please check the city owner page.
2. In addition to cities established with city-building orders issued by the system, other survivor gathering areas can obtain city-building qualifications by cooperating to complete a series of tasks. If they fail, the probability of the gathering area attracting monsters will be doubled.
3. A new city ranking list will be added at the next level. Survivor gathering places can also choose to participate in the ranking in advance, but if they fail to obtain the qualification to build a city before settlement, the supplies of all members will be halved.
4. Patients with infectious diseases cannot recover on their own. Please take medicine promptly and seek treatment actively. Successfully challenge the dungeon on the settlement day to double your rewards.
Other than that, there are no special reminders starting this season, but you can still get the corresponding prop cards from the leaderboard rewards! Well, that's all for now, please enjoy the settlement day!
Generally speaking, it has little to do with Yu Luowei. This merger function allows a city to apply to merge with another city when it is about to go bankrupt. As long as the other city has sufficient vacancies and the other party agrees, the two cities can be directly merged. Conquest is simpler, it is war.
The current urban population of North City is less than 500 people, and there are no NPCs in this game, so it is impossible to start a war, so Yu Luowei took a quick glance and went to open his reward.
The three Easter eggs, plus the one left over from the previous settlement day, made up exactly two sets. Yu Luowei obtained a high-level skill book of his choice and an electronic system.
Needless to say, this electronic system can be installed directly on the second floor of the processing center. Once installed, it is equivalent to having a city-wide surveillance system and an intelligent electronic butler. It can directly assign shop owners to each store. It can select the most suitable candidates by chatting with Yu Luowei through the manual. It can also help Yu Luowei upgrade the city's facilities or build new ones.
Yu Luowei placed its two subsystems, one at his base and one on the first floor of the processing center. This would free up manpower, eliminating the need for Lin Zhixia and Fang Min to come along. Yu Luowei was very satisfied.
He quickly opened the other red treasure chests and used the items and materials he found to upgrade the shelter. Yu Luowei's entire base was now at the highest level. From inside the base, the shelter looked like a castle.
The better news was that her max-level base also added 1,000 points of defense to the city walls, which was equivalent to upgrading it to a new level. It made sense when you think about it; after all, if you wanted to attack Yu Luowei's base, you had to break through the city walls first.
I wonder if reaching the maximum level for a citizen's base will increase the defenses of the city walls. Looking at everyone's profile, the person with the highest base level right now is Lin Zhixia, who likely gathered the materials through leaderboard rewards and just reached level 6. We'll find out once she reaches the maximum level.
Yu Luowei's plan for the morning was to dig for crystals and pick some brocade flowers. Yu Luowei had already withdrawn the protection cards for common resource sites like the wheat fields and announced their locations to the public. Those in urgent need of food could go and pick them, while those less in need could wait until tomorrow to start purchasing the city's own crops. To this end, Yu Luowei had even purchased two stone mills and placed them outside the farmland, allowing residents to grind the food directly into flour.
In the afternoon, I went to the restaurant to help Su Tang and Grandma Lin. Tonight, they planned to hold a large party in the city to celebrate North City's successful survival of its first disaster season and advancement to Level 3. Citizens who wanted to participate only needed to pay a certain amount of points. They also planned to teach everyone how to cook some dishes, as skill books were still scarce.
Yu Luowei immediately went to work, planning ahead. He teleported to the crystal mines, believing it was safer to keep such important minerals within his own reach. However, he didn't need to mine the ore himself this time. He had just received an advanced mining robot from the leaderboard rewards. Not only could he manually adjust the amount and time of mining, but it also specifically indicated that as long as the mining time didn't exceed a certain limit, it wouldn't damage the environment.
Watching the robot wielding its mechanical hoe with all its might, Yu Luowei was very satisfied. She left it there and went to the flower fields. Of course, she wasn't a ruthless capitalist. The robot only worked four hours a day, and its salary (and electricity) were sufficient. Although it was outside the city, Yu Luowei bought it ten power banks, which could last for about four days.
Robots can't be allowed in flower fields. These flowers are quite fragile, and any rough movement could kill a plant. Yu Luowei was also very careful when picking the flowers.
After returning to the city, Yu Luowei put her things aside and headed to Su Tang's restaurant. As for Ma Tuan, he and Bang Bang went to play with the cats.
Because of Yu Luowei's previous success in publicly sharing her wheat field resource points, many people also shared their own common resource points. Therefore, even without Yu Luowei's extensive stocking, the restaurant still had plenty of ingredients. By the time Yu Luowei arrived, Su Tang and Grandma Lin had already agreed on a menu.
As they were gathering the ingredients, some citizens who had signed up in advance to learn how to cook also arrived. Strength lies in numbers, and they had already prepared all the ingredients. Next, Su Tang led them to make some dishes that were less likely to fail, while Yu Luowei and Grandma Lin prepared the other dishes.
While the North City was peaceful, other cities were also bustling. Especially this one in their district:
Xu Zheng: I'm going to expose the Golden City! It's that damned Bobby's city! He and Jin Yu are colluding, using free treatment to lure people to their city, then stealing the patients' bases and supplies! Not only do they refuse to give them medicine, they're also killing them! I was lucky enough to reverse the transmission, so don't let them fool you!
Ji Tong: Huh? How scary! Is this true? But you won't drop your base or supplies when you die, right?
Xi Jian: I can testify, what he said is true! That Jin Yu had previously scammed a lot of goodies from the Mutual Aid Association and received several ranking rewards. He had a Snatch Item Card that allowed him to steal the survivors' supplies when they were on the verge of death! Luckily, I had a Fake Death Item Card, which saved me from disaster!
Xu Zheng: You can look for the survivors' profile pictures that said they were going to Bobby's place. See how many are grayed out, and you'll know if I'm telling the truth!
There was an uproar in the channel. Instead of one or two more survivors popping up to confirm the situation, Bobby and Jin Yu, who had built the city before and were very active in the channel, especially after it was upgraded to level three, were now silent.
It looked like what Xu Zheng said was true. The chat room erupted in excitement, with some strongly condemning Bobby and Jin Yu. Some demanded they hand over their ill-gotten gains, while others urged the top two in the North District rankings, Yu Luowei and Fu Xiangming, to eliminate this scoundrel.
Yu Luowei couldn't read the manual now, but other people came and told Bobby to be careful. There was a conquest function between cities now, and Yu Luowei might conquer his city at any time.
The speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. Bobby claimed he wasn't afraid, but in reality, he quickly used the points he'd looted to upgrade the city to Level 4, also increasing the wall's strength. Because of this, he didn't share the spoils with his accomplices. Jin Yu provided the item card, and the method was his own idea. The only problem was that Jin Yu's combat power wasn't as high as Bobby's.
Now, in order to upgrade the city, Bobby hadn't given Jin Yu his share of points. Because of the item card, Bobby explained to Jin Yu. While Jin Yu appeared magnanimous, he secretly resented Bobby. He wished he could kill Bobby right now, upgrade the city, and then conquer Yu Luowei's city.
Of course, Bobby didn't feel sorry for Jin Yu. He believed that if Jin Yu, the only Chinese in their gang, hadn't been smart and had the tool Cardo, he would have died long ago. Not to mention that Jin Yu was the only person Bobby had to explain to this time.
While a quarrel was about to break out, Yu Luowei was still busy cooking. As the time approached, more and more people joined in the cooking. Although as novices, they couldn't cook much, it did have some of the flavor of home.
