Because the lord cannot intervene in any hardships that the territory encounters during its growth that are not caused by players.
These difficulties that all territories will encounter must be solved by mobilizing territorial forces.
Otherwise, with Zhang Yi's strength, it would be easy to deal with those wild wolves of ten or twenty levels who invaded the village.
These hardships are all tests of the system's territory.
It is also a test of the lord’s management ability.
If not managed properly, it may even lead to the destruction of the territory that was finally established!
Zhang Yi couldn't deal with those wild wolves, so he had no choice but to return to Shuguang City and go to the talent market to recruit people.
The rule for recruiting people is that every time you recruit one, the next one will get 1 million more gold coins!
Yesterday, Zhang Yi recruited 20 people and has raised the unit price to 20 million.
So today we started with 21 million gold coins, recruited 20 people, and spent a total of 610 million gold coins!
The reason why it is said that creating the main city is very expensive, recruiting people is also one of the most expensive projects.
Because those recruited must be NPCs and cannot be replaced by players.
At present, the territory does not need many people, so relatively speaking, the consumption in this area is not high.
When the level of the territory becomes higher and the maximum number of people increases later, the cost of recruiting people will become higher and higher!
Zhang Yi took these 20 NPCs and returned to the territory.
Quick division of labor.
Arrange ten of them into the hut.
Because the hut will generate prosperity every hour only when there are civilians staying in it.
At present, this is also because the maximum number of people accommodated in elementary villages is limited. Otherwise, if each of the ten lv2 huts in the territory can accommodate up to 2 people, the hourly prosperity income will be higher.
However, as a lord, he also had to consider the safety of the village, so he had to deploy troops to defend the village.
Otherwise, what happened last night when the elite wild wolves invaded the village and killed all the villagers might happen again!
The current level of the barracks is lv2, which means that soldiers can be trained up to level 20.
Soldier training requires time and gold coins.
Under normal conditions, it takes two hours and 2 million gold coins to upgrade from a civilian to a level 20 soldier.
During this period, the lord can speed up the training of soldiers by consuming additional gold coins.
Therefore, Zhang Yi, the wealthy leader with a trillion gold coins, directly consumed 80 million gold coins to maximize the training speed of the ten soldiers.
The training that originally took two hours to complete was reduced to 5 minutes!
It really fulfills a famous saying jointly explored by many lords in the previous life: In the territory, money is everything!
After a while, ten lv20 soldiers were freshly released!
However, for safety reasons, Zhang Yi did not allow these level 20 soldiers to hunt the level 30 elite wild wolf outside the village that killed Zhang Yi's village last night.
Let them go now, they will definitely be hitting the stone with an egg.
So Zhang Yi sent those soldiers to receive some low-level territory tasks on the bulletin board. Start with these easier low-level tasks to gain prosperity.
In addition, ten S-class architects have begun upgrading the huts and barracks.
When the barracks is upgraded to level 3 and the soldiers can be trained up to level 30, it will definitely be much easier to fight that elite wild wolf!
An S-class architect's ability is beyond doubt.
By consuming wood and ores, and supplemented by gold coins.
An hour later, the barracks was successfully upgraded to level 3!
Level 3 barracks can train up to 50 soldiers!
In addition, the maximum training level of soldiers has been increased to level 30!
Zhang Yi recalled the soldiers who were killing wild boars outside the village and asked them to enter the barracks for training and upgrading.
After speeding up with gold coins, the original upgrade time of 1 hour is directly reduced to 2 minutes!
Soon, ten lv30 soldiers will be released!
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi led the ten cubs in a majestic manner and went out to seek revenge on the elite wild wolf that massacred the village last night!
Soldiers killing monsters outside the village can also increase the prosperity of the village.
An ordinary monster can add 1-2 points.
Under the attack of ten level 30 soldiers, the arrogant and domineering elite wild wolf was quickly killed.
"Ding~ Your soldiers killed the lv30 elite wild wolf, and the prosperity of your territory increased by 30 points (you have obtained a double bonus of level 5 energy crystals)!"
Next, upgrade the buildings and perform territory tasks.
Produced by buildings, and prosperity rewarded by tasks.
At the end of the day, all ten huts in the territory have been upgraded to level 3!
At this time, the prosperity of the territory finally reached 1,000 points, meeting the requirements for upgrading!
To upgrade a territory, in addition to reaching the required prosperity level, the most important thing is to upgrade it with energy-based materials!
In addition to the initial creation of the village, which consumes 10 energy-based materials.
Each subsequent territory upgrade will require consumption.
To upgrade the territory level from elementary to medium, you need 1000 prosperity and 10 energy-based materials!
There are hundreds of energy-based materials in Zhang Yi's bag, which is more than enough to upgrade the territory to a city.
Therefore, Zhang Yi immediately upgraded his territory by consuming energy-based materials!
"Ding~ It consumes 1000 prosperity points and 10 energy-based materials. The territory is being upgraded. The upgrade time is expected to be 3 hours!"
"Ding~ You have consumed 120 million gold coins, and the territory upgrade is accelerating. It is expected to be completed in 3 minutes..."
"Ding~ The upgrade was successful. Congratulations on upgrading your territory to a medium-sized village!"
"The rights of the medium village have been unlocked: the maximum number of people accommodated is 20 → 100, the maximum number of huts built is 10 → 20, the maximum level of the huts has been increased to lv6! The maximum level of the barracks is lv6!"
"Next upgrade requirement: 30,000 prosperity!"
It was upgraded to a medium-sized village in just two days.
This speed can be said to be quite fast!
You know, Qiyue Liuhuo, Ruochen and the others also spent four or five days upgrading the medium-sized villages!
After arriving at a medium-sized village, continue to expand, upgrade houses, upgrade barracks, and recruit residents.
Everything we do is still to gain more prosperity and make reserves for the next territory upgrade!
So in the next two days, with the full efforts of the ten S-class architects, ten huts and a barracks in Zhang Yi's territory were all upgraded to level 6!
The construction efficiency of S-class architects is really very high.
If all of these were replaced with A-level ones, it would take at least double the time to achieve this efficiency!
Level 6 buildings have reached the highest level of a medium-sized village.
A level 6 hut can accommodate 6 people, and the maximum income can reach 6 (level of hut) x 6 (number of residents) x 2 (double increase of level 5 energy crystals), which is equal to 72 points of prosperity per hour!
Except these 60 residents.
Zhang Yi sent the other 40 residents to the barracks and upgraded them to level 60 soldiers!
Level 60 soldiers can receive territory tasks from the bulletin board, and the final reward can already reach one or two hundred prosperity levels!
In this way, it took another two days to accumulate the prosperity of the village to 30,000.
Then, by consuming 10 energy-based materials and gold coins, the territory level will be upgraded to a high-end village!
