Chapter 1131: Ten Draws at the Tavern
Chapter 1131: Ten Draws at the Tavern
To the south of Apshi Village lies the Moonlight River, and to the north, an immensely dense forest, providing an abundant supply of timber.
On the eastern and western sides of the village, numerous stone, iron, and gold mines dot the landscape, making it a veritable treasure trove!
Since the village required a large amount of wood for infrastructure, Snow Leopard volunteered to lead 400 players, along with Jenny and Wendy, to the forest for logging.
The remaining 100 players, led by Range is Truth, accompanied Mike to go hunting and gather food.
Although Su Yu had already purchased a significant amount of food from Olan City before arriving at the territory, this food was not counted in the territory's food resources.
To attract refugees, a substantial food surplus was necessary.
Su Yu didn't join Snow Leopard and the others for logging. Instead, he sat by the thatched hut, sketching out the future city layout based on the territory's actual conditions.
He planned where the residential, commercial, industrial, academic, and entertainment districts would be, aiming to save time and resources in future construction.
At the same time, he didn't forget to chat with the last farmer.
"Robert!" Su Yu said with a gentle smile, "I hear you're skilled at building structures. What can you construct?"
"I can build a lot, my lord!" Robert, seeing the lord's kindness, opened up. "I can build a town hall, residential houses, a tavern, a mill, and a lumberyard."
Each time Robert mentioned a structure, a corresponding building information panel appeared below his name.
[Town Hall Level 1]
Construction Requirements: 275 wood, 100 stone
Function: Issue policies, research basic technologies.
Note: The town hall can only research basic technologies. Advanced technologies require a [Research Institute] or [University].
[Residential House Level 1]
Construction Requirements: 25 wood
Function: Attract refugees.
Note: Without enough residential houses, the population won't increase, even if prosperity and livability are maxed out.
[Tavern Level 1]
Construction Requirements: 200 wood
Function: Recruit talents.
Note: Young man, are you ready for ten consecutive draws?
[Mill Level 1]
Construction Requirements: 100 wood
Function: Process grain, store food.
Note: The windmill design makes it very susceptible to Don Quixote's challenges.
[Lumberyard Level 1]
Construction Requirements: 100 wood
Function: Increase logging efficiency, store wood.
Note: Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, the lumberjack goes.
"Quite a few blueprints, indeed!" Su Yu, satisfied, nodded as he looked at Robert's attributes. "Once the main group returns, have them start building the [Tavern] and [Residential Houses]. I'll send out a stone-gathering team. Once we have enough stone, we'll build the [Town Hall]. Oh, and your pay will be the same as Wendy and Jenny's—50 Psychic Coins per day."
"Really? Thank you, my lord!" Robert was overjoyed, his loyalty immediately reaching the maximum of 100.
NPC farmers typically gather 10 wood, 5 stone, or 1 gold every two hours.
The players, being beginners, had only half the efficiency of NPCs, gathering about 5 units of wood every two hours.
However, Su Yu had purchased a large number of [Two-Man Saws] from Olan City, which increased logging efficiency by 50% compared to regular axes.
With the sheer number of players, a steady stream of wood was brought back within just a few minutes.
Seeing the pile of wood, Su Yu clapped his hands and called out to Robert, "Robert, let's get started!"
"Yes, my lord!" Robert returned to his thatched hut, picked up his hammer, and prepared to build the [Tavern].
Su Yu also enlisted the help of over thirty players who were transporting wood, assisting Robert in building the Tavern.
On his own, Robert would have taken about ten hours to complete the Tavern. However, with the help of the players, the task became much easier despite their individual inefficiency. Under Robert's direction, some players dug the foundation while others sawed wood and crafted planks.
In just over an hour, a respectable Tavern was erected!
Tavern Level 1
Function: Recruit Talent
- Probability of recruiting a Common Quality talent: 99%
- Probability of recruiting an Excellent Quality talent: 1%
- Only one talent can be recruited every 24 hours.
"1%? That's more than enough!" Su Yu felt a surge of confidence.
He immediately sent a private message to Sky Dragon: "Where are you off to now?"
"Oh? We're hunting! We just caught a huge black wild boar! It's massive and has so much meat!"
From her message, Su Yu could sense the little girl's joy. However, he replied, "Come back quickly, we have important business."
When Su Yu initially invited Sky Dragon to join the guild, it wasn't because she was a wealthy young girl or a cute little girl—though those factors did play a small role. The main reason was that Sky Dragon was a "Super Lucky Hand"!
In the previous life, there were many players with incredible luck, but those who could match Sky Dragon's level of fortune were fewer than ten in the entire game.
That's why Su Yu invited her to join the guild and participate in managing the territory. With Sky Dragon managing the territory, its "luck" would be significantly enhanced, drastically reducing the occurrence of negative events like extreme weather, droughts, floods, and bandit invasions. It was more effective than having a shrine to a deity!
Moreover, the territory had just been established, and it was the perfect time to put Sky Dragon's luck to use.
The Tavern could only perform ten consecutive draws once a day, allowing for a maximum of 100 talent draws, from which one could be selected for recruitment.
The probability of drawing an Excellent Quality talent from a Level 1 Tavern was 1%. If Su Yu were to do it himself, he might not get it with such a low probability. But with Sky Dragon, the chances were much higher!
Su Yu was eagerly anticipating her performance.
Not long after, Sky Dragon returned to the territory, riding her Moonhowl Wolf and holding a skewer of roasted wild boar, her mouth glistening with grease.
"President, what do you need me for?" Sky Dragon asked, offering the half-eaten skewer to Su Yu.
Su Yu took the skewer and explained the ten consecutive draws at the Tavern.
"Ten consecutive draws?" Sky Dragon's eyes lit up. "That's my strong suit! I've never had bad luck! Watch me, I'll definitely draw a legendary for you!"
With that, she leaped off her Moonhowl Wolf and strode into the Tavern.
"Hey," Su Yu had wanted to warn her that drawing a legendary was unlikely, but he decided against it and followed her inside.
The Tavern's board had only two options: one draw for 10 Psychic Coins or ten consecutive draws for 95 Psychic Coins.
Without hesitation, Sky Dragon placed her hand on the ten consecutive draws button.
The board emitted a soft white glow, displaying ten cards. Under Sky Dragon's control, the cards were revealed one by one.
The first nine were all white, but the last card erupted in a burst of emerald light!
Surprisingly, Sky Dragon had drawn an Excellent Quality talent on her very first ten consecutive draws!
However, Sky Dragon looked stunned, as if she had been dealt a severe blow. "Where's the legendary? The epic? This isn't my level of luck!"
