After a week of rapid drifting, different colors finally appeared on the distant horizon, and land appeared in the field of vision, and that was Kalimdor!
Li De was somewhat excited. How different would the Kalimdor at this time be from the one in his memory?
Compared with Li De's excitement, everyone else on the boat was more or less worried about gains and losses.
Going north to take refuge in Lordaeron, although it is also leaving home, it is still the territory of the human kingdom after all. Kalimdor? It is a completely unfamiliar world.
Legend has it that there is a wild world where many ancient races live. Is it really suitable for human life?
Almost everyone had this question in their mind, but seeing Li De standing at the front of the deck, everyone felt a little more at ease.
Two hours later, the boat finally docked at the shore.
Looking at the turtle lying lazily on the beach, the coconut trees on the shore, the white sand, and the hot wind blowing on my face.
Li De guessed somewhat inaccurately:
'This...this is Tanaris?'
Tanaris is the southernmost desert of Kalimdor. The environment here is harsh and not suitable for human habitation except on the coast. But they have no choice but to dock here.
The ship's original destination was Lordaeron, so it only carried enough supplies for three days. Because of its deviation, they strayed into the extremely fast current and drifted for a full week at a speed of one hundred knots!
Now, they must disembark and rest!
People all got off the boat eagerly. Many people's legs just touched the ground and their legs were weak and they almost fell. This is the sequelae of sitting on the boat for a long time.
The good news is that because the two continents have not started to communicate frequently at this time, the Steamsand Port has not been built yet. This saves a lot of trouble, after all, it is not that convenient for humans to deal with goblins.
Li De did not want to see unnecessary disputes.
'I just don't know if the desert town of Gadgetzan has been established at this time?'
Li De was not sure how long they would stay here. The depths of the Tanaris desert were full of dangers. Even if he had become a hero, he could not guarantee that he would survive in the depths of the desert.
While Li De was thinking about these questions, cheers rang out from the crowd. It turned out that everyone, led by Sheriff Haggard, picked a lot of coconuts and killed a few turtles.
The turtles here are ridiculously big, bigger than brown bears. Now the chefs are breaking down the turtle meat. Looking at the large pieces of meat, people who have been hungry for many days swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
After eating turtle meat to satisfy their hunger and coconut water to replenish their water, people set up camp on the wide beach. At night, they lit campfires and people cuddled up to rest.
But gradually, sadness spread among the crowd like a contagion. No one cried loudly, they all sobbed quietly or shed tears silently.
They originally lived in Stormwind City, a city with a pleasant climate and abundant abundance, but they were forced to leave their hometown due to the invasion of the orcs.
After a week of wandering at sea, I came here with great fear. After feeling the joy of life, the desolation of a lost life came to my mind again.
Sleeping on the desert beach, looking at the vast starry sky, there are only two bright moons in the sky: Ms. Bai and Boy Blue accompany them as a group of wanderers. The coldness of not seeing the future makes them helpless.
In addition to Li De, those on guard outside the camp were Sheriff Haggard and Captain Anderson. They all had serious expressions at the moment, and they were discussing what to do next.
"My duty is to protect everyone's safety. This will not change no matter where I go, so I want to hear your opinions."
Although the team is now vaguely headed by Li De, he has not forgotten his identity. He is the sergeant major of Stormwind Kingdom, not the lord of these people.
But what Haggard said next was something Li De didn't expect.
"Sir, I suggest you forget about Lordaeron. After so many twists and turns, we have just set foot on land. I am afraid that we no longer have the courage to sail across the ocean again, at least not in a short period of time."
This surprised Li De. He had thought that Haggard, as a civilian representative, would suggest taking a short rest here before finding a way back to Lordaeron.
"I agree with Mr. Haggard."
Captain Anderson also said the same thing. After seeing both of them looking at him, he explained with a wry smile.
"It's a great luck to be able to find land. Our ship also needs repairs. Traveling at such high speed in such sea currents, the hull suffered great damage... but there are no materials to repair the ship here."
Li De sighed, people always take things as they come. After finding a place to stay, no one wants to experience the terrifying endless sea again.
At this moment, both of them looked at Li De.
"Sir, please lead us to start a new life."
Li De's pupils dilated slightly in astonishment. He didn't expect that the two of them would take the initiative to propose such an idea.
Before Li De could speak, Haggard couldn't help but speak emotionally.
"If you hadn't performed miracles on the ship and given us hope of life, we would have fallen into despair."
Anderson also said this.
"Similarly, if you hadn't repelled those terrifying sea monsters time and time again, we wouldn't have been able to hold on here."
The two people's voices attracted the attention of people in the camp, and everyone slowly stood up.
"We believe that this is the guidance of fate. Our experiences these days have convinced us that you will lead us out of the suffering!"
Following Haggard's words, everyone looked at Li De.
A heroic spirit filled Li De's heart, and he knocked on the armor hard.
"I understand, and I promise everyone that I will lead everyone to the light!"
At the same time, singing seemed to be floating in the otherwise silent night sky, as if all the spirits were responding!
There were cheers in the camp, and people jointly elected Li De as the lord. And Li De, who took office as the lord, also issued his first order:
Everyone, have a good rest and start building their new homes tomorrow morning!
Soon people fell asleep in the camp, but Li De and his soldiers stayed up all night.
In his spare time during the vigil, Li De checked the system again:
"Leader: Reed Victory.
Civilization: Azeroth
…
Available productivity points: 2149.
…”
It was 100 points more productive than before. This was during a week's voyage. Li De repelled several invasions of Nagas and fishmen, and even had a difficult battle with a sea giant.
Among them, every time you kill a murloc, you still get 2 points of productivity; twisted creatures like Naga, it's 5 points, and powerful creatures like sea giants or elemental creatures of the same level, it's 10 points.
Although productivity has increased much faster after becoming a hero, it is still far away from becoming a wonder.
Li De no longer thought about this, but thought about tomorrow's things.
At dawn the next day, people in the camp woke up one after another. The way they looked at Li De was different from before. Now, this was their lord.
Li De led everyone to pick up branches and stones on the beach and salvage driftwood from the sea. After spending a whole morning, they finally built a simple fence on the tidal flat two kilometers along the coast.
Then, they moved the few remaining supplies on the ship, dismantled the sails and converted them into many tents.
After doing this, the camp now looks like a small settlement.
"Ding~"
Suddenly, Li De's ears heard a clear beep from the system.
"Congratulations to the leader for building the first settlement, and will be rewarded with 1,000 productivity points.
(Note: The first settlement will be rewarded with 1,000 points, and subsequent settlements will be rewarded with 300 points.)"
Li De raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there would be so many rewards for construction. If things continue like this in the future, it seems that building wonders is really not a dream.
However, this was not over yet, and then the system broadcast another message.
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the mission: rescuing 1,000 people and escaping Stormwind City!
Reward 10,000 productivity points. (Note: Saving one life is better than killing ten lives)"
Hearing the number ten thousand, Li De's heart suddenly jumped, and at the same time he couldn't help but be disgusted:
Counting himself, he saved 1,000 humans, but when you reward him, how do you calculate it as 1,000 beasts multiplied by ten? Why don't you play with me about "all living beings are equal"?
However, because he was tired of it, Li De still opened the system.
In addition to the original personal interface and wonders interface, there is also a parallel task interface.
After opening the mission interface, there are four branches: kill missions, construction missions, diplomatic missions and special missions.
But apart from these, I can only see one sentence.
"Attention: Every behavior of the leader may trigger a mission. Please pay attention to your words and deeds."
What is this? Li De was a little frustrated. This system is too unintelligent.
Helplessly, after closing the task interface, I opened the personal interface again:
"Leader: Reed Victory
Civilization: Azeroth
Wonder Level: 1
Wonders built:0/3
Buildable level: 1/7 (ancient times)
Individual strength level: 2/5 (hero level)
Available productivity points: 13149*(2149100010000)
Settlement: Tanaris Settlement (can be renamed)*
Population: 1 (referring to 1000)
Available plots: 4*
(Note: Productivity points are not enough to build wonders.)"
The "*" marked here refers to the numerical items that have changed since the last time you checked them.
The result surprised Li De. There were four terrains nearby that could create wonders in such a small camp?
There are still more than 5,000 points left to meet the construction requirements. Li De is a little moved. It seems that if he works hard for another two months, he will have his first wonder.
But he didn't expect that the system would give him an even bigger surprise!
"Ding~, the master stonemason under the leader has been detected: Edwin Van Cleef."
"Ah? Is Van Cleef also on this boat?"
This is a famous person, and many major events are related to him. But Li De was a little confused as to why Eureka suddenly told him this. Li De seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't grasp the point for a while.
But then Eureka told him the answer.
"Meet the Great Pyramid reduction conditions, cost productivity will be reduced by 40%!
Great Pyramid (Ancient): Productivity 13200 points (reduced).
Construction terrain: requires desert plains or river flood plains.
Wonderful effect: Randomly make a production professional under the leader become a grandmaster; the abilities of all production professionals under the leader will be improved by one level (grandmaster level and above will not be improved).”
"!!!"
Li De was breathing heavily! The Great Pyramid! There are still 51 points of productivity left before it can be built!
At this moment, Li Dezhen can't wait to find Van Cleef and kiss him twice on the face! 51 points of productivity, if you are lucky, a pyramid will stand here in two days!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li De finally found Van Cleef among the people working enthusiastically.
This figure who later stirred up the Stormwind Kingdom was still just a down-to-earth young stonemason who was currently reinforcing a low wall made of stones.
After all, he is a master stonemason. Even if he has no other tools and only uses a pile of gravel, the wall he builds is stronger and more beautiful than others.
Finding that Li De was watching him work, the young mason was a little nervous. He wiped his hands on his clothes and said at a loss.
"Do you have any instructions? Lord Lord..."
Li De walked forward and shook his hand.
"Thank you."
Van Cleef was a little confused and just kept nodding.
"These are what I should do."
After saying goodbye to Van Cleef, Li De walked towards the seaside and looked at the sea turtles living in groups on the beach. Li De felt that it was necessary to focus on this area.
In the next period of time, turtles and marine fish will be their important food sources; at the same time, turtle shells are also very important and can be used to make turtle shells and utensils, so careful planning must be made on how to make the best use of them.
Thinking of this, he called Captain Anderson and asked him to take a few sailors to separate the turtle activity area from the resident activity area, and then extend it into the sea to create a fishing ground.
Anderson led people to arrange the affairs of the fishery, and Li De received another notice from Eureka.
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the construction task: planning a specialty area! Reward 50 productivity points.
(Note: Turtle specialty in the area, after planning, will stably provide food point 1 (can supply 1,000 people) and material point 2 for the settlement.)"
When Li De heard that 50 productivity points were awarded, the content that followed was no longer important!
Now he already has 13199 productivity points, and the last remaining point has come:
Several people who were building a fence in the distance screamed, and a black carapace monster smashed into the fence and rushed into the camp.
Li De pulled out his sword and threw it towards the monster. With a squeak, the sword penetrated the monster and pinned it to the sand. The monster's claws and thin legs twitched twice, and finally died.
"Ding~, kill the beast that invades the settlement: Desert Scorpion, and gain 1 point of productivity."
"Ding~, the leader now has 13,200 points and can build the wonder: the Great Pyramid (has been lowered)!"
"ha……"
Li De exhaled a sigh of relief and walked slowly towards the desert in the opposite direction to the coast.
A soldier pulled out the sword inserted into the giant scorpion with admiration and ran over and handed it to Li De.
"Lord, your sword."
Li De did not take the sword and still walked towards the desert.
People followed him strangely, and finally Li De stopped at the edge of a flat desert. In Tanaris, this place was called the Clear Spring Plain.
From Li De's perspective, it was as if his soul was out of body, overlooking the Qingquan Plain from a high place, and selecting the illuminated pyramid image in the system.
At this moment, Li De opened his hands and chanted softly:
"Forty centuries, looking down at us from the top of these pyramids..."
As Li De chanted, his feet actually left the ground slightly, and the golden light from his body seemed to be flowing water, pouring towards the clear spring plain!
The Great Pyramid, which is 146.59 meters high, covers an area of 52,900 square meters, and has a volume of 2.6 million cubic meters. It is completely white and the top is wrapped with gold foil. It seems to have fallen from the sky and appeared in front of everyone out of thin air!
