Chapter 1162: The Effects of the Yulong Statue
When Tina mentioned that the villagers were all living happily, Su Yu wore a look of satisfaction, as if it were the natural outcome of his efforts.
His territory had a deep collaboration with the government, which was a key national institution housing a vast array of top-tier talents from various fields. In terms of urban planning, Apshi Village received guidance from the best city planners, ensuring that every plot of land within the territory was meticulously planned. For the psychological well-being of his subjects (primarily to ensure a high quality of life), Su Yu consulted with experts and formulated a detailed welfare improvement plan.
Human nature is never content, and the same applied to Su Yu’s subjects, who had ever-increasing material and cultural needs. Therefore, Su Yu initially set their welfare benefits very low, gradually increasing them over time. At first, the villagers received only 10 Psychic Coins for every two hours of work, which was then incrementally raised to 11, 12, and 13 Psychic Coins per two hours.
The villagers noticed their income increasing regularly, which boosted their morale and made them exceptionally happy and content. What he hadn’t expected, however, was an additional benefit.
The villagers' happiness had even attracted Tina, who was drawn to this idyllic life!
“Tina, welcome to my territory. I’ll make sure to find you the house you like best!”
“Sounds good to me,” Tina smiled.
As they spoke, they arrived at the Town Hall.
...
At the small square in front of the Town Hall, Su Yu took out the Yulong Statue from his backpack.
"Ring, do you want to place the Yulong Statue at the Town Hall? Once the statue is activated, it will be bound to your territory and cannot be traded to other players."
"Place it."
"Ring, the Yulong Statue has been successfully placed. Please click [Detailed Information] to view its attributes."
...
The Yulong Statue had two main parts: the base and the sculpture.
The base was a 2-meter diameter, 3.24-meter tall emerald green jade pillar. At the top of the jade pillar was a lifelike emerald green five-clawed dragon, one of the four supreme deities of the Pandaren Empire—Yulong.
When Su Yu clicked [Detailed Information], the statue’s attributes appeared before his eyes.
Yulong Statue (Special Item)
Items that can be sacrificed today: Monster Materials
Sacrifice benefit: [Bountiful Harvest]
Current Bonuses:
- Subject Production Efficiency +0%
- Wanderer Attraction +0%
- Technology Research Speed +0%
- Wonder Bonus +0%
The Yulong Statue required different items to be sacrificed each day. Today, it needed monster materials, but on other days, it might require special building plans, energy potions, designated equipment, and more.
Monster materials were special items dropped from monsters. For example, the common [Hill Goat Horn (White)] dropped by a Level 4 wild monster, the Hill Goat, was a monster material, with a drop rate of about 1%. However, other materials like [Hill Goat Meat] and [Hill Goat Bones] did not count as monster materials.
Monster materials could be used to craft equipment and were the primary material for the Mage Tower to convert experience points.
Su Yu had never bothered to purchase low-level monster materials because they provided minimal experience points and could slow down player development. Stockpiling them in the warehouse was also useless.
Now that the Yulong Statue required them, he would have to start acquiring them in large quantities.
He didn’t need to personally go to the warehouse to collect them.
Su Yu opened the guild channel and sent a few messages.
Before long, his mailbox was flooded with prepaid messages from guild members, each containing monster materials.
Su Yu made his way to the mailbox in front of the town hall, paid for each message, and collected all the monster materials into his backpack. He then turned and placed them on the altar of the divine statue.
After the monster materials were placed on the altar, they gradually melted and merged with the entire statue.
At the same time, the five-clawed divine dragon above the statue burst into a vibrant green light, and a misty green aura flowed from its mouth, gradually spreading across the entire territory.
Su Yu's backpack only had 50 slots.
He dumped everything in his backpack into the town hall, freeing up the slots to transport more monster materials.
After sacrificing two full backpacks, or 100 monster materials, Su Yu checked the divine statue's bonus attributes.
[Jade Dragon Statue (Special Item)]
Current Bonuses: (Lasts 24 hours)
- Citizen Production Efficiency +6.67%
- Refugee Attraction +6.67%
- Technology Research Speed +6.67%
- Monument Bonus +0%
"Not bad! The monster materials I received average Level 10, costing 20 Psychic Coins each. For 2000 Psychic Coins, to get such a significant boost, it's definitely worth it!" Su Yu nodded.
However, he didn't stop there. He continued shuttling between the altar and the mailbox, recording the bonus values every two backpacks of monster materials he sacrificed.
After sacrificing 300 monster materials, the statue's bonuses increased to:
- Citizen Production Efficiency +20%
- Refugee Attraction +20%
- Technology Research Speed +20%
But after reaching 20%, the difficulty of increasing the values grew exponentially.
Sacrificing another 600 monster materials raised the bonuses to 40% for each category.
Sacrificing another 1200 monster materials increased the bonuses to 60%.
Finally, Su Yu called in a few guild members to help with the sacrifices.
After sacrificing a total of around 9300 monster materials, the bonuses for all three categories reached 100%.
"100% seems to be the maximum. No matter how many more I sacrifice, the values don't budge," Su Yu noted.
As he continued to sacrifice more materials, the green mist exhaled by the five-clawed dragon grew thicker and thicker.
Gradually, the entire territory was enveloped in a thin, green mist.
The mist was harmless and had a faint, grassy scent that invigorated the mind and body.
The citizens, after inhaling the green mist, became more energetic and vigorous, both physically and mentally. They worked with renewed spirit, and overall efficiency doubled!
Su Yu opened the territory's technology tree in the town hall and noticed that the research time for the current project, Shipbuilding, had a "-50%" buff, halving the required time.
Sure enough, the green mist was affecting the territory's technology as well.
"Considering the cost, 9300 monster materials, or 186,000 Psychic Coins, for a day's worth of buffs, I can afford this," Su Yu thought to himself.
But Su Yu still felt it was a bit slow.
After all, he had over 7 billion Psychic Coins, and he could easily afford to burn a billion to keep the statue active for over a year.
"But I remember the note on the Jade Dragon Statue mentioned that the monument building Heavenly Altar Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests can provide additional bonuses to the statue. I'll take advantage of the hours before Tina's main quest to secure the Heavenly Altar Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests first!" Su Yu decided.
