Chapter 1167: Construction of the Wonder Begins
Chapter 1167: Construction of the Wonder Begins
Soon, a large contingent of players and NPC residents, carrying wood and stone, converged on the site where the wonder would be built.
Su Yu, however, had already arrived with the master carpenter, Brook, to discuss the construction plans.
After surveying the site and thoroughly studying the blueprints, the old carpenter, Brook, confidently slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord! The construction methods in the blueprints are very clear, and I am confident I can build it!"
"Good to hear," Su Yu said, patting his shoulder approvingly. "I'll leave this building to you. I'll have a small gift for you later."
"A small gift?" Brook looked curious.
Su Yu smiled but shook his head, not answering.
...
As time passed, the main construction team arrived at the site.
In addition to the construction crew, curious players from the village also gathered, standing behind the main group. After all, this would be the first wonder built in the player-controlled territory, and everyone was eager to see it.
Once everyone was in place, Su Yu held a small groundbreaking ceremony.
The ceremony was simple, with no grandstands, red carpets, or speeches from officials. Su Yu simply stood on a small hill and spoke a few words.
"Brook, Cole," Su Yu called out to the crowd below.
"Lord, sir," the old carpenter, Brook, and the steward, Cole, stepped forward from the crowd.
Su Yu took two [Hero of the Defense's Glory] badges from his backpack and handed one to each of them.
"You've both worked hard over the past few days! To honor your contributions, I bestow these badges upon you. They symbolize the highest honor in our territory! Moreover, these badges have special properties that you'll discover once you wear them."
"Thank you, sir (lord)!" the two men said, accepting the badges and pinning them to their chests.
The moment they put them on, a vast stream of knowledge burst from the badges, flooding their minds.
In an instant, they felt a profound transformation. Not only did they quickly grasp a wealth of new knowledge, but their existing knowledge also became deeply integrated and more comprehensive!
From Su Yu's perspective, both men's attributes had significantly improved:
Cole
- Rarity: Rare
- Occupation: Steward
- Trait 1: [Public Announcement]: When serving as the chief steward, he can post recruitment notices in the capital, increasing the number of incoming migrants by 15%.
- Trait 2: [Calming]: When serving as the chief steward, if a riot occurs in the territory, the livability will not drastically decrease.
- Trait 3: [Law and Order Management]: Skilled in managing law and order, resolving disputes, and slightly increasing the territory's livability.
Brook
- Rarity: Rare
- Occupation: Carpenter
- Trait 1: [Wood and Stone Construction]: Skilled in building wooden and mixed wood-stone structures, slightly increasing the territory's prosperity.
- Trait 2: [Master Carpentry]: Creates durable and high-quality carpentry products.
- Trait 3: [Energetic]: Can work for long hours, increasing work efficiency by 30%.
Feeling the changes in themselves, the steward and the old carpenter realized what Su Yu had bestowed upon them.
The steward, Cole, was completely stunned.
The old carpenter, Brook, fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "Thank you, my lord, for giving me a new life. I, Brook, will dedicate the rest of my days to serving you!"
Brook knelt at Su Yu's feet, sobbing uncontrollably.
He had been an old and frail carpenter, always on the brink of starvation. Now, with the knowledge granted by the badge, he had become a master carpenter, no longer fearing hunger or poverty in his later years!
Brook's "Loyalty" value shot up to the maximum of 100. If it could go higher, it certainly would have.
"Everyone, get up. You’ve earned this." Su Yu helped the old carpenter to his feet.
Then, he looked at the rest of the people present and announced, "As for the rest of you—"
He held up five fingers, "On the day the Wonder is completed, everyone will receive a one-time reward of 500 Psychic Coins! I hope you all do your best with the work at hand."
"500 Psychic Coins!!!"
Everyone present was stunned.
500 Psychic Coins were equivalent to over 1,500 dollars. And building a Wonder only took a few days, with such a generous bonus!
"President, you’re awesome!"
"President, you’re generous!"
"President, you’re the best!"
"President, may you live forever!"
"President, may you rule the land!"
...
The crowd erupted in waves of cheers. Many rolled up their sleeves, ready to work with renewed vigor!
Su Yu nodded slightly, then turned to the beautiful woman, Winged Divine Dragon, who was standing beside him. "Winged Divine, after the completion, select the five best performers and promote them to guild officers. Additionally, reward each of them with 1,000 Psychic Coins."
"Understood!" Winged Divine Dragon smiled.
"!!!"
Hearing Su Yu’s words, the guild’s warriors and knights couldn’t contain their excitement. They hefted the thick logs and stones, sprinting toward the construction site.
"Hold on for us!" The mages, priests, hunters, and druids also hurried to join in.
...
The spectators watching from the sidelines were envious to the point of red eyes:
"Damn, 500 Psychic Coins? I do tasks all day, picking the ones with the highest rewards, and I can barely get 100 Psychic Coins."
"Tell me about it! I’m so jealous!"
"I’m so regretful! I should have joined the guild when it was first recruiting."
"Building houses in this scenic place and getting a high salary, being in the guild is truly a blessing!"
"Hopefully, there will be a chance to join in the future. As the territory expands to the city, 500 members won’t be enough, and the guild will definitely recruit more..."
"Let’s hurry and join them!"
"The first Wonder in the game... just thinking about it gives me chills!"
The spectators also rushed to join in.
...
Under the direction of the old carpenter, Brook, the construction of the Wonder officially began! This Wonder garnered significant attention both in-game and out.
In-game, many players heard about Su Yu’s territory building a Wonder and flocked to see the spectacle.
Out-of-game, major live streaming platforms focused on the Wonder’s construction, with numerous streamers broadcasting the entire process.
A large number of players gathered in Su Yu’s territory, making it bustling with activity.
...
As for Su Yu, after staying in the territory for an hour, he handed over all the affairs to Winged Divine Dragon and left.
Winged Divine Dragon had almost become his secretary, and it was normal for her to handle the tasks.
Regarding the construction of the Heavenly Altar Prayer Hall:
The structure of the Heavenly Altar Prayer Hall was relatively complex. Even with the buff from the Jade Dragon Statue and an abundance of building materials, Su Yu estimated that the Wonder would take about three to four days to complete.
This was already a very good speed. In his previous life, large guilds with ample resources and personnel needed five days to build a Wonder.
So Su Yu wasn’t in a rush. He went to complete the main quest and waited for the Wonder to be completed.
