Chapter 210 What does it mean to be a big country with infrastructure?
Li Wen stretched out in the morning light that fell through the opened curtains, looked at the streets that were already getting lively outside, opened a portal next to him with a wave of his hand, and stepped in.
After helping Helen plan everything yesterday, he went back to the library to copy down the two five-ring ritual spells. At the same time, he also copied the two five-ring spells he planned to learn, Bigby's Hand and the Oath of the Otherworld.
I have learned all the spells.
I also took some time to study "The Melting Pot" at Croxanne's place in the evening.
People can't just be obsessed with one thing, and they have to change their minds occasionally, which will help learning efficiency.
The space here in Croxan is eternally silent, and it was only with Li Wen's arrival that it became a little lively.
Li Wen, who remembered something, did not rush to the Lunar Moon Continent. Instead, he paused for a moment and asked the gray fog that was spreading everywhere: "When will you be able to open the door next time?"
The door Li Wenwen opened was not a portal that he and she rushed to open in both directions, but a continent-wide portal similar to the one when the magic wave occurred without his own spells to communicate.
Just like when she is approaching, when she is moving away, she will often open the portal naturally when the spatial connection wave peaks.
It's just that as time goes by, the interval between each time she naturally opens the portal will gradually expand. The next time she opens a large-scale portal, she will have to allow all other players to enter.
Otherwise, it is obviously unrealistic to expect all players to come to Jianfeng City to enter the dungeon... Mad Moon Continent.
Hui Wu responded quickly, "According to your time, there are about...five days?"
"It's getting longer and longer..."
As it gets farther and farther away from the critical point, the frequency of Croxane's connection to Gaia becomes less and less, and the time to rely on her to provide convenience to all players becomes less and less.
Before she completely leaves the Gaia continent, can she be left hanging next to the Gaia continent?
Like Ergouzi?
With this thought lingering in his mind, Li Wen looked at the sky. The nine different colors of the moon made the night sky here in Croxan colorful.
The gray-black Corruption Moon, the now washed-out Madness Moon, and other than that, the patina-colored moon appears to be only a quarter of their size.
Emerald green light occupied a small area of the night sky, emitting a soft halo.
"Let's go, Kebao~"
The gray fog suddenly spread out.
After Li Wen stepped out of the portal, he slowly condensed two words.
"Ke... Bao...?"
The construction site is in full swing, with construction starting at various points throughout the entire city plan. Some of the basic urban structures have roughly taken shape.
Professional buildings such as reserved mage associations, warrior camps, priests' associations, or temples of various gods have all taken rough shape.
Some of the city's important functional buildings - such as the Council Hall, the City Lord's Palace, the central square and other facilities have been completely completed.
This is only two days.
Under the planning of the aboriginal people, it is unimaginable to imagine the construction skills that players with no brains and recklessness can exert.
Moreover, the buildings of this era do not have so many necessary building facilities such as water, electricity, and gas, and there are no high-rise buildings with dozens or dozens of floors at every turn. At most, they only need to reserve enough locations and materials to depict various functional arrays.
Thanks to the efforts of a group of professionals... it can also be said that they are all extraordinary people, the simple construction itself is indeed not a problem.
Of course, the difficulty in building a city does not lie in one or two special buildings, but in the scale of an entire city.
In the past, it was possible to build a modern large-scale hospital with at least 1,000 beds in seven days. Now, it is possible to build a human city that can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people in five days.
"As expected of a country with great infrastructure."
Li Wen nodded with satisfaction. It seems that the next time Croxane opens the door can be synchronized with the progress of these players.
After wandering around the prototype of the city, Li Wen was attracted by a burst of noise.
Following the sound, I looked over and unexpectedly spotted an acquaintance.
It was the human village he met when he first came to the Lunar Moon Continent. Now they were facing a bustling city, and they felt like they couldn't even use their eyes.
City!
For ordinary people like them who have lived in villages all their lives, this kind of city...even if it is just a prototype, is an unimaginable impact experience for them.
"Gitui! Can we live in a place like this in the future?"
"Is their house here blocked from the wind? My previous house made a whining sound when the wind blew."
"Where are we staying? What kind of place are we?"
A group of people were chattering.
Especially the janitor uncle and the middle-aged village chief among them, Li Wen still remembered them freshly.
The high magic level of mage makes almost every mage have a photographic memory for some general things.
And the person who led the villagers to introduce the city to them... was Linton?
This little person who has never seen him again since he got the Moon Well quota for him?
Li Wen didn't like his little thoughts.
But he is not an absolute follower of order like the bronze dragon. Although a little dark thought is annoying, it is nothing more. Li Wen will not do anything against him, nor will he like it.
But now...
When he wanted some indigenous people to settle here to try out his idea, he actually brought people from his village over...
How did he know he wanted Aboriginal people to come and settle?
Or do you simply want your former villagers to live in the newly built city?
Li Wen hesitated and stepped forward.
Linton, who had excellent eyesight, saw Li Wen approaching at a glance. He was slightly happy and took the lead in saying hello.
"Master Poppy!"
Li Wen smiled slightly, looked at the confused villagers behind him, and asked softly.
"You are..."
"I heard that this newly built city was built for humans, but the elves seem to only be looking for people who are willing to come in nearby human gathering places. This kind of opportunity is rare for us humans, so I made the decision without authorization.
Go back and let my people move here first... If the elves don't allow it, I wonder if Master Poppy can help a little bit. After all, the environment we lived in before was really..."
In his words, he completely forgot the fact that he was a half-elf, and considered it completely from a human perspective.
Moreover, he did not even mention the news that Li Wen wanted the aborigines to settle here. After all, Aletta, the daughter of the elf council leader, said at the time that this city, which was still under construction, was in danger.
, they were unwilling to let people come and settle first because they were responsible for human life.
So instead of putting the pressure of such a decision on Master Poppy, it would be better to shoulder it yourself without letting the other party know about it at all.
Not to mention how much effort he put into the entire process of migrating people.
Whether it was the smooth tongue he used when persuading his tribe, or the fact that he had no choice but to pull out Bobby's flag in order to get the elves to open the portal for him.
Everything is just to fulfill Sir Bobby's request.
Li Wen didn't even doubt him. The perspective was different, and it was difficult to truly empathize with him. It was difficult for him to completely stand in the other person's perspective and see what conditions he needed to achieve all this.
He was just a little happy in his heart. The size of this village, with a total of several hundred people, should be able to verify whether his previous ideas could come true.
"Don't worry, you can settle down here with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell me. Um..."
Considering that he often wanders around, he may not be able to find him if he wants to, so Li Wen hesitated and added: "I may not be here most of the time. If you have something to do, you can just go to the elf person in charge here. I will talk to you."
He said hello."
Of course, the elves will not completely ignore such a large project, and there is also a person in charge who stays here to be responsible for communication and supervision.
Considering that these people had just arrived here, they would definitely not be able to keep up with all kinds of daily necessities. Li Wen took Linton aside and patiently explained all related matters.
For example, boldly using the player's power. According to the experience of the players when they first came to the continent of Gaia, when ordinary people issued some unimportant tasks to them, they did not need to pay any price. A small amount of money and soul energy would be enough.
There is the goddess of wealth and free creation energy to pay for it.
Then Li Wen went to find the person in charge of the city where the elves were stationed here. While introducing Linton to him, he also told him about the direction of the next city construction, giving priority to the area sufficient for these hundreds of people to live.
Come out and build it.
The newcomers to the entire village made Li Wen feel very good.
When standing guard for the players, they all hum a little tune.
Not long after, some players discovered Li Wen's figure.
This Lord Poppy seemed to be wandering on the edge of the Underdark, checking the soil near the Underdark, and occasionally waving his hand to outline some magical brilliance flashing in the air.
It's like he's investigating something.
Is there a plot?
The savvy players immediately realized this and quickly joined in.
"Master Poppy..."
Li Wen glanced at him - not good enough.
"Leave me alone."
"..."
The refusal was straightforward.
Although Li Wen is prepared to give it away for free, not every player is qualified to get this news.
The players here must have taken over the moon development mission, but this basic favorability is obviously not enough. At least the players cannot clearly feel that they are giving it away for free, otherwise wouldn’t their favorability be worthless?
Only those who have completed at least two or more tasks among the tasks previously released by Li Wen will have enough favorability to hear Li Wen's next words.
"Let's leave, you're ignoring me."
The first player to strike up a conversation turned around and walked away.
Although the players are idle, they will not stalk any NPC. Experience tells them that if the triggering conditions are not enough, it is not enough. Stalking will only arouse the disgust of those NPCs.
"Do you think everyone is like you?"
After giving the first player who struck up a conversation a disdainful look, another tough guy approached Li Wen.
"Master Poppy..."
"It's you, passerby A."
The macho man raised his eyebrows at the first player, smiled proudly, and then looked at Li Wen with a shy face, "Sir, are you investigating something here? Is there anything I can do to help?
?”
"Hmm~ I'm studying how to effectively resist a special kind of monster in the Underdark."
"monster?"
"Well... there is a race called the illithid. They are very powerful and will enslave other intelligent races. I am worried that they will integrate all the creatures in the Underdark and launch an attack on the outside world."
The handsome passerby A's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Illithids? What do they look like? Do you want me to collect some information about them for Lord Poppy?"
"material?"
Li Wen shook his head, "No need, I have collected most of the information about them, I'm just thinking about how to attack them effectively. Oh, by the way, didn't I give you some Demonic Heart Ore before? That is to restrain the illithids.
The key point is that if you encounter an illithid alone, equipment made of magic heart ore may be able to protect you. Okay, passerby, go about your business first, I will continue to research."
"All right……"
The macho passerby A left with some sarcasm.
There is no task...
Um~wait!
Illithids?
The macho passerby A immediately logged on to the forum. He grinned when he found the familiar word on the forum. Sure enough, he remembered it correctly.
Those monsters that can force players to switch camps are called illithids!
So he immediately left a message below one of the posts: "There are 7.7 billion people in the world, and there are 25.3 billion chickens, which is three times the number of people. In other words, if chickens decide to go to war with humans, each person will fight three times on average.
Chickens. Please remember, no matter how lonely you are, there are always three chickens in some corner of the world that you need to fight against. Today is Crazy Thursday, V me 50, I will teach you how to get out of trouble."
Passerby A is the first, but not the last.
Li Wen stood guard for a while, and after picking up about 50 customers, he left the place.
Not only does it require favorability, but there is also information about quota restrictions.
And if there are so many players who get the news, there will always be someone who will spread the news.
The rest is up to them to perform on their own.
Li Wen believed in the craftsmanship of the dwarf race in the Lunar Moon Continent.
Not long after, the news that Master Poppy released the strategy information spread throughout the forum.
"That's great! Poppy! Oh my God!"
"Someone will give me a piece of Demonic Heart Mine Armor, with the coordinates of the Underdark (1111, 2222). I will airborne with him for a week while I take medicine."
"Wait until I put on my Demonic Heart Mine Armor and dig up the graves of those octopus heads!"
"Let me just say that limited editions are a good thing!"
"What the fuck! Someone gave me a gold and a pound before! Damn it!"
"Hahahaha! Brother, that's a limited version. You sold it for just one gold."
…
"broken!"
Looking at all this excitement, he felt so outrageous that the world was playing a big joke on him.
It’s unfair! Why should you rely on someone else to fall?
He died before leaving the army.
The illithids here are integrating all the monsters in the Underdark. Even if Bobby saw through it, why did he even prepare the means to deal with it early?
No! You have to go to Lord Illithid to give him advice. If that doesn't work, don't even think about building a new city. Otherwise, the octopus's head will be blown away.
It's nice to be the king and hegemon in the Underdark, without fighting against the world.
…
The illithid put a tentacle in its mouth to act as a vocal cord, looking at what was in front of it with crimson eyes, and made a weird buzzing sound from its mouth.
"It was your suggestion to attack that city, and now you say not to attack. Don't you mean that once they succeed in building the city, we will fall into a sea of undead like you? Fight! Fight hard!"
As the weird sound vibrated, the surging power of psychic energy instantly shook away his body, which also made his heart go cold.
Don't listen to advice.
If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude.
It was outrageous to log into the forum account and issue a declaration of invincibility——
"Someone will give me a piece of Demonic Heart Mine Armor, with the coordinates of the Underdark (1111, 2222). I will airborne with him for a week while I take medicine."
By the way, I attached a photo of myself wearing women's clothing.
