"Welcome to "Star Bound", you are now arriving at a 1:1 replica of Blue Star."
"It has been detected that you are a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, and your age is between 18 and 45 years old. You will automatically become a lord and will randomly come to the border of the Dragon Kingdom #￥&"
There was a flash of white light, and Tang Jing appeared in the wilderness.
The last trace of noise in the system, accompanied by the howling wind, has long been swept away without a trace.
"The air is mixed with salty and humid smell. Have I arrived at the beach?"
Tang Jing sniffed and looked into the distance. He saw that the sky and the earth in the distance were all black and connected together, like a black curtain that could not be torn apart. It was impossible to tell whether it was land or ocean.
I just feel horribly depressed.
Looking at the place where we stand, there is only a dilapidated cabin with no windows and only a dilapidated wooden door.
Push the door open and enter.
The interior was equally impoverished, with no tables, chairs or benches. There was only a pile of hay spread at the foot of the wall, a rag bag containing dry food and a clay pot containing water.
There was also a rusty hatchet.
[Territory]: No. Z5738431 (First-level shelter)
[A sanctuary is not a real territory, and can be renamed when promoted to a village]
[Lord]: Tang Jing (civilian)
[Territorial area]: 100 meters in radius
[Within the territory, there is a three-day protection period]
【Territorial Population】:1

[Territory Resources]: 10 units of wood, 10 units of stone
[Existing building]: Level 1 shelter (can be upgraded)
[Upgrade conditions: 100 units of wood + 100 units of stone, upgrade time: one day]
"Zero initial population, zero start-up capital, initial resources only account for 1/10 of what is needed for upgrade. So, does the lord need to collect the remaining wood and stone by himself?"
Tang Jing complained and clicked on his personal panel.
【Name】: Tang Jing
[Occupation]: Trainee Lord Level 1 (0/100)
[Lord is a special profession, and can only gain experience points through territory construction, and can work part-time]

[Comprehensive combat power]: Level 1
[Evaluation: Rookie among rookies, the wilderness is staring at you]
"At the beginning of this hell mode, how many lords have to be eliminated at once." Tang Jing sighed.
Three years ago, Blue Star suffered a sudden change. After that, all the survivors were forced to move into the shelter and enter the hibernation cabin, and their consciousness was connected to the virtual universe-"Star Bound".
According to the rules of "Star Bound", the battle for territory in the virtual universe will be related to the redistribution of real territory.
Blue Star Civilization is not the only one that has full access to "Star Boundary".
"So, this is a war!"
But facing such an unconventional war, Blue Star players are obviously not ready yet.
Complaints abound on national channels.
"What? Why are you forced to become a lord?"
The lord profession sounds very prestigious, but it is really difficult for everyone to become lords.
The most realistic thing is that there are more people and less land.
After the cataclysm, the population of Blue Star dropped sharply, but Zunlong Kingdom alone still has more than 100 million survivors.
Another third were in the age group of the lords.
This means that even if all special terrains such as deserts, swamps, hills, and lakes are included, on average every three lords can barely get one square kilometer of land.
What is this enough for?
It's no wonder that we have to start from the shelter, which only covers an area of 100 meters.
It can’t be squeezed in at all!
"Hey, dear, I've already heard the howling of wolves. There aren't even any farmers in this shabby shelter. How dare you call me a lord? You're just trying to survive in the wilderness. I'm quitting!!!"
"What does a wolf howl mean? This is just a vast desert with not even a tree."
"I do have trees here, a whole virgin forest, but is a place like this suitable for building a city?"
"You just need to be satisfied. We are still on land after all. I just went to an overseas island and could see the end of it at a glance. Is it okay to live on a deserted island?"
"How about we switch to the one upstairs? At least you can still see the sun. This is an underground cave..."
This is so unlucky!
The lively forum for complaining soon turned into a forum for comparing misfortunes, which is in line with the old saying - "Happiness is always similar, but misfortune is different."
Due to the harsh living environment, some lords were already retreating at the beginning.
"Star Bound" is very large and boundless.
Taking Blue Star as an example, in addition to the main plane of the wilderness, there is also a folding city for players to survive. They are considered a different kind of casual players, and they do not all need to survive in the wilderness.
As for the war between interstellar civilizations, Blue Star, as a new force, has a one-year protection period. Not everyone has that sacred sense of mission of "caring about the country and the people."
Wouldn’t it be nice to hide in Folding City and watch the excitement?
Of course there are those who are lying flat, and there are also those who are ambitious.
For example, Tang Jing.
As an orphan, in reality, even if he tried his best, he could only get into an ordinary university and find a job in Shanghai with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan.
The best fantasy about the future is just to settle down in the city and become a new social worker.
The Cataclysm changed everything.
Everyone is back on the same starting line, all social resources are reduced to zero, and power, wealth, and even power that were out of reach in reality suddenly become within reach.
Why don't you make people want to move?
Regardless of whether the achievements of "Star Boundary" can really interfere with reality, based on the circumstances of Blue Star's generation, they will probably spend the rest of their lives in "Star Boundary".
It doesn't matter what is the real world and what is the virtual world.
Tang Jing certainly hopes to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, give it a try, and completely change his destiny in this era of national hegemony.
Who in the world doesn’t yearn for the top of the mountain?
Even if you can't become the final winner, as long as you work hard to develop your territory to the county level, even if you bring the city to the big lord, it will be enough to become a master.
There's really no reason to lie down.
Thinking like this, Tang Jing picked up the hatchet and walked out of the wooden house, preparing to carefully investigate the surrounding environment.
It was only after I left the house that I noticed that there was a small pile of wood and stone piled under the eaves. They were all neatly arranged and square. They should be the initial materials prepared by the system.
Looking up at the sun, the wooden house faces north and south.
The salty and humid sea breeze blows from the east, and a large river can be vaguely seen rushing forward from the northwest.
"So, this is probably the mouth of a large river?"
Tang Jing looked excited.
It's close to the sea and close to the river. Considering only the geographical factors, this is already a top choice.
The potential for future development is unlimited.
Squatting down and pulling up a bunch of weeds from the ground, I saw that the soil brought out by the roots of the weeds was dark black, and the soil was fine and soft, making it the highest quality black soil.
"My luck is full today!"
Compared to those unlucky guys, he was simply starting out like a European emperor.
Tang Jing's fighting spirit became more and more high, and he looked around carefully. In addition to the endless grass, he could occasionally see a few unknown tall trees that looked like a flock of chickens.
You can even see a lush forest in the southeast, intertwined with the wilderness.
It can be seen that there should be no shortage of wood in the short term.
As for stone
Then it really just depends on your luck. Maybe there will be one on the river bank, or maybe it will be hidden in the grass.
“If you want to get rich, plant trees first!”
Tang Jing was a man of action. Carrying a hatchet, he came to the nearest big tree where a person hugged each other.
"collection!"
Dashu: "..."
The built-in gathering skills are really useless. You can't directly knock down the tree. You need to cut down the big tree first.
Fortunately, Tang Jing was born as an orphan and had to endure hardships since childhood. He was not tired from doing this kind of work. He even had time to follow the national channels to see if he could get first-hand information.
A message flashed by.
"I am the actor Gu Yue. If any fan wants to quit and become a lord, can you send me the supplies that you don't need? You can settle in my territory in the future. If you are interested, please chat privately."
There is a lot of similar information.
It’s not just celebrities who want to get supplies for free, there are also entrepreneurs and even internet celebrities.
They all made good use of the "fame" resource.
For those lords who want to give up, before "suicide" and returning to Folding City, it is better to give the initial supplies to idols or celebrities than to give them to strangers.
It can also be regarded as a disguised investment.
It can be seen from this that the so-called same starting line is only a relative term.
In addition to the celebrity effect, more people choose to give supplies to relatives and friends, especially relatives with blood connections, who are more likely to benefit from this "big exchange".
Of course, this has nothing to do with Tang Jing...
Unfortunately, he worked all morning and only collected 25 units of wood.
While logging, Tang Jing also noticed that from time to time in the grass outside the aperture of the territorial protective cover, a gray shadow passed by, maybe it was a wild wolf lurking in the darkness.
"Have you been targeted already?"
Just as I was sighing, a system prompt suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Congratulations on your successful establishment of territory in the enemy country, which has not been captured within three hours, triggering the conditions for a national war, and successfully starting a national war between the Dragon Kingdom and the Aztec Alliance."
"Aha???"
Tang Jing was confused on the spot, "Did I make a mistake? Why did the national war start?"
"That's right, you are currently in the Valley Province of the Aztec Union."
"But I am a Zunlong man, how can I appear in the Aztec Alliance?"
"Because there is a deviation in the transmission."
"...You are honest. Since it is a bug, fix it quickly and teleport me back to the Zunlong Kingdom. By the way, it is best to have a similar geographical environment to the current one." Tang Jing did not forget to fight for it.
""Star Bound" has no bugs and cannot be fixed."
"..."
Tang Jing was immediately stunned by the system's shamelessness.
"You will be compensated for the transmission deviation."
There was a flash of white light, and Tang Jing had a career scroll in his hand, but he didn't even look at it and refused directly: "I don't want any compensation, just teleport me back to the Dragon Kingdom."
Are you kidding me?
The Aztec Alliance and the Zunlong Kingdom are separated from each other by hundreds of thousands of miles to the west and east. He is alone in the enemy's territory. Even if he uses the Heaven-defying Guidance, he will definitely be overwhelmed by the Aztecs.
The kind that no one wants even if you surrender the city.
If he can't return to the Dragon Kingdom, then the ambition he just aroused will probably disappear. What's the use of more compensation?
"The compensation has been distributed. This conversation is over. Good luck!"
