Chapter 85: When the east is not bright, the west is bright
The soybean boom swept across the Western Continent, making tribal agriculture once again powerful. The number of farmers was also increasing, and this profession attracted more villains to join.
A simple prompt appeared on the screen, blending in with the meat, egg and milk discoveries, making it less noticeable.
Lu Yao almost ignored this one.
When he took aim, the fingers holding the mouse trembled.
[The Garlic Tribe established its first city: Yancheng.]
It was unexpected that Lu Yao was true.
The first city built by the tribe was not in the headquarters, but in the settlement of Salt Pond in the west.
He switched his perspective to the sky above the salt pond.
Lu Yao didn't pay attention to this place for a while, but now the appearance of Yanchi has changed drastically.
A low wall built with stones was built around the city, and in the middle was a well-shaped street with sparse houses built of wood and stone on both sides.
The appearance of the houses is no different from that of the Garlic Tribe headquarters, but the difference is that the houses here have a clear division of labor in urban society.
In addition to residential buildings, the houses here are hung with flags with various patterns drawn on them to represent the functions of these houses.
There is a hammer on the flag, which represents the blacksmith house, which is used to make and sell various metal tools or weapons and equipment.
The flag is painted with a pattern that looks like sand, indicating that this is a salt store and a local specialty.
The wheat ears painted on the flag represent shops that sell grain.
The one with clothes on the flag is a clothing store.
On the flag is a pottery cup, which is a hotel.
The one with steaming meat and cakes on the flag is a restaurant that provides ready-to-eat food.
Although these products and shops are very basic, they are already a manifestation of further social division of labor.
Merchants no longer continue to hawk on the streets as in the past, and many have entered stores to work. Commodity trading has become an integral part of people's daily lives.
After the birth of Yancheng, there are further details in the population in the upper right corner of the game interface.
Population: 22,129
The sign [Yancheng:2,314] appeared below.
Lu Yao searched for a while in Yancheng and actually found the temple.
The name [Yancheng Temple] appears on it, and its size and scale are imitations of the main temple. Except for the gray stone used on the outside instead of pure white, there is no other difference.
Lu Yao clicked on the temple and found that there was also a statue of his own god inside, as well as the steps to ascend to the gods and the vague pantheon of temples behind it.
[Sacrifice] and [Gift] slots, as well as the portraits of the two apostles, there are quite a few of them. There is also a small temple icon next to it. Clicking it will jump to the initial temple of the Garlic Tribe headquarters.
From Lu Yao's perspective, Yancheng Temple can also be operated.
This shows that temples can be built in different cities and related to each other.
Lu Yao couldn't help but think: Isn't this a portal?
If you want to send an apostle to a certain city, you only need to pass through the temple and use the real world as a stepping stone to quickly reach the two cities.
In actual operation, Lu Yao found that this was more convenient than he thought.
Just send Isabel to the temple, and she can quickly travel between Salt City and the tribe's base camp through the temple symbols.
Just by building this temple with the coming of the apostles, the city has already won a lot. The progress of civilization has brought convenience and enhancement that are visible to the naked eye.
As the earliest city in the pixel world, Yancheng's management is really rudimentary, with only one mayor and one commander.
The mayor is one of the villains Lu Yao remembers, Yulian.
Yulian is now 34 years old, and he has grown from a young boy into his thirties. His level has also reached LV5, and his shipbuilding skills have also become LV2, which has improved in all aspects.
He became famous at a young age and built a galley in his teens, which Lu Yao had high hopes for. Unfortunately, he never invented a new type of ship in the following years.
After Yulian became the leader of the tribe, he could no longer let his imagination run wild by the river as he did in the past.
There are always incidents happening in the tribe: conflicts between fishermen and businessmen, fights between spectators in the Colosseum, drunkenness and riots, business disputes... Lu Yao could still see all this.
The fishing company has been working hard to deal with these problems.
Now that he can step out of the Garlic Tribe headquarters and take charge of Yancheng, Lu Yao thinks it is a good thing.
Compared with the Garlic Tribe headquarters, which has a large population and fixed customs, Yancheng is a young city. It has gone through destruction and reconstruction, and it is also a city of immigrants, so there are not so many rules and regulations.
In addition to the humans of the Garlic tribe in Yancheng, there are also many cave monsters, corruptors, prairie savages, and wandering savages.
The origins of each race are also different.
Cave monsters gradually migrated out of underground caves. They are the descendants of humans from the previous era. They hid underground and dispersed into many small groups.
Under the guidance of the wizard Morimi, some cave monsters gradually moved out of the underground and integrated into life on the surface.
The newly joined cave monsters did not want to stray too far from the mountains, so they basically chose to live in Yancheng. As time went by, the number of this group gradually increased.
Corruptors were originally soldiers created by the Blood Knight.
It's ironic. Blood Knight Nevid is an iron-blooded tool man who executes orders. However, many of the corruptors he created from corpses and salt have normal intelligence.
Corruptors are somewhat like zombies. They are not easy to die. However, they need to eat meat and salt to replenish their slowly decaying bodies, so they have certain food requirements.
Their role near the salt pond is that of professional soldiers, patrolling tirelessly every day.
When not entering the [Black Abyss] and performing tasks, the Blood Knight will continue his mission: training the Corruptors.
Therefore, the total number of these corruptors is only 12, but they are taking the route of elite soldiers.
The weakest Corruptor has now reached LV18, and the strongest one has even reached LV21, and his name has also changed from Corruptor to [Corrupted Guard].
The corrupted guard has also become stronger in appearance, larger than the surrounding corrupted ones, turning into a blue giant that stands out from the crowd.
Lu Yao selected this new unit.
…
[Corruption Guard LV21] Yan Geer
HP:385/385
Mana:98/98
Damage:20
Defense:17
Speed:12
【Stubborn LV10】
There is a certain probability that it will not be affected by spells.
【Rebirth LV10】
After death, if the body is not completely destroyed, there is a certain probability of resurrection.
【violent】
Gain additional speed and damage when taking damage.
…
The ability of Corrupted Guard is very simple, but Lu Yao really likes [Frenzy].
As soldiers guarding the city, this ability to respond quickly is very practical.
In addition, Yangel is also the [Commander] of Yancheng. After being trained by the Blood Knights, he led the Corruptors to take on the city's security and defense work.
Lu Yao observed that the [Corrupted Guards] have names, but the low-level corruptors do not have names.
Based on various experiences since coming into contact with the simulator, he came to an inference.
For extraordinary powers, a name is a privilege.
Having a name means that this individual belongs to the elite class and can be distinguished from other ordinary groups. It is similar to the mini-boss monster.
Going one step further is an exclusive title.
For example, Lu Yao's three major forces have their own titles: Isabel is the "Sword of the Forest", Nevid is the "Blood Knight", and the deep sea lord Gur is the "Crown of Thorns".
Among the heavyweight bosses defeated before, only Celty in the Abyss can have the exclusive name of [Earl of Withering].
Lu Yao reviewed carefully and found that the gods seemed to fit this title formula.
New players, that is, apprentices to gods, all choose their own names. But this thing is actually only used by believers to facilitate believers to chant, address and understand.
Only after entering the pantheon can one be called [gods].
Further up is the [Title God], who is called [The Whistleblower] and [The Skinner].
The higher level is the [Main God], with more symbolic and conceptual names, such as [The God of Darkness] and [The God of the Forest].
…
Lu Yao drew his attention back to the citizens.
Corruptors patrol daily to ensure order in the city.
The grassland savages come from the grasslands of the Eastern Continent.
After being conquered by Isabel, the prairie savages followed the galleys and came to Yancheng one after another to join the group to stay warm. They were mainly engaged in animal husbandry, raising horses, cattle and dogs nearby, which was also the old line of work of the prairie savages.
Due to the participation and labor of these professional herders, the pastures near Yanchi are prospering, and most of the Garlic Tribe's cattle and horses come from here.
Finally, there are the wandering savages.
This group usually lives in the wild. However, there are fewer and fewer wandering savages now. They have either joined tribes or hidden in inaccessible edge areas.
What Lu Yao cares about is.
After the fusion and reproduction of multiple races, with the blessing of meat, eggs and milk, a brand new hybrid species was actually born.
【Salt Tribe】.
