Chapter 195: Division of Labor - Dave's New Plant Cultivation
In the Hall of Prayers, Su Yu browsed through the altar’s attribute panel, nodding in satisfaction.
He had spent 19 million Psychic Coins to obtain a buff that would only last for one day.
At first glance, it might seem like a bad deal, but it was actually a fantastic investment.
This one-day buff would increase the upgrade speed of his territory by 12 times! If used effectively, it could allow the construction of a Mage Tower 11 days ahead of schedule.
Building a Mage Tower even one day earlier significantly boosted humanity’s chances of victory on Blue Star. Therefore, the expenditure was well worth it!
Besides, with the 19 million Psychic Coins he had, Su Yu could afford to burn through this amount every single day for an entire year. He had no reason to worry.
...
In the Hall of Prayers, the Winged Dragon watched Su Yu with a complex expression.
She knew Su Yu was wealthy, after all, he had single-handedly funded the entire guild’s development.
But the extent of his wealth was something she had never imagined.
"Guild Master, where did you get so many Psychic Coins? As far as I know, the ‘Imperial Blood Slayer’ guild hasn’t collected nearly this much, even after all these days. Besides..."
The Winged Dragon lowered her voice, "If you give me this money, I can use my skills to buy and sell items at the auction house, earning you even more money!"
"Speculation? Now isn’t the time for that," Su Yu shook his head. "Let’s head back to the Town Hall! With a 12x buff, there’s a lot to do."
"Alright."
Seeing that Su Yu wasn’t interested in monopolizing the market, the Winged Dragon sighed softly.
The territory buff had already taken effect, and the Jade Dragon statue’s head began to spew out a thick green mist.
This green mist quickly spread throughout the entire territory, enveloping everything in a lush, vibrant green.
The NPCs and players within the territory felt invigorated and full of energy as they inhaled the green mist.
Crops in the fields, weeds by the roadside, and trees all began to grow at an accelerated rate, defying their normal growth cycles.
A once unremarkable lawn grew wildly within just a few minutes, reaching a height that could easily cover a player’s knees.
And the players discovered some hidden benefits.
In the Hall of Prayers, a player suddenly exclaimed, "No way! I’m not seeing things, right? My experience points are increasing automatically!"
His voice immediately drew the attention of the surrounding players.
Everyone quickly checked their experience bars.
Soon, they realized it was true! Every 2 to 3 seconds, they would automatically gain 1 experience point.
"Really! My experience points are increasing automatically too!" another player marveled.
"This experience gain is pretty fast. One point every 2 seconds, that’s 1800 points per hour. Holy crap, it’s as fast as leveling up!"
"True, it’s about the same speed as when I’m grinding!"
"Is this a hidden effect of the green mist?"
"Being able to level up while AFK, this is too good!"
The players were elated, cheering and celebrating.
At this moment, Su Yu, the Winged Dragon, and Sky Dragon were riding their mounts toward the Town Hall.
"Winged Dragon, there are three things we need to pay attention to now," Su Yu instructed.
"Go on."
"First, it’s about the refugees," Su Yu said. "The ‘Refugee Attraction Rate’ is now 12 times what it used to be. You know what that means, right?"
"Of course," the Winged Dragon’s expression grew serious. "It means we can receive up to 240 refugees every two hours."
"The current population of our territory is 343. If we maintain a ‘Prosperity’ and ‘Livability’ rating of 90 or higher, we can upgrade to a ‘Large Village’ in just two hours and to a ‘Mega Village’ in four hours."
Within just eight hours, we can upgrade to a Small Town!"
Being able to leap three levels in a single day was a massive challenge for them!
"Absolutely, we need to settle the refugees properly. Handling such a large influx of refugees while maintaining the prosperity and livability of the area is a huge challenge for us," Wing Dragon said with a serious expression.
Su Yu continued, "The second issue is city construction. After the territory upgrades, all the buildings within it will also need to upgrade, and we need to build the next wonder. However, this shouldn't be too difficult to solve. I plan to recruit 1,000 players as temporary workers. As long as the money is in place, construction shouldn't be a problem."
"You have the money, so do as you please," Wing Dragon said with a flat expression.
"The third issue is the monster siege," Su Yu said, holding up three fingers.
"Right! There's also the monster siege," Wing Dragon's expression grew increasingly grim.
During the upgrade from a Small Village to a Medium Village, they experienced a monster siege.
However, that siege was relatively simple, and the players easily repelled the attacking monsters.
But the next and subsequent sieges would definitely be more challenging. With the short preparation time, they would find it difficult to train enough NPC soldiers, making the defense of the city much more stressful.
"President, we can invite the elite team from the 'Relevant Departments' guild to help defend the city. With their strength, we should be able to handle the monster siege," Wing Dragon suggested.
"I was thinking the same thing," Su Yu nodded. "So, Wing Dragon, let's divide the tasks. I'll handle the monster siege and the recruitment of refugees, while you take care of settling the refugees and the construction. How does that sound?"
"No problem," Wing Dragon answered immediately.
"What about me? What about me?" Sky Dragon raised her hand when she noticed Su Yu hadn't mentioned her yet.
"You can come with me," Su Yu gently pinched Sky Dragon's chubby little face. "We'll go recruit refugees together, and we'll need your good luck."
"Alright," Sky Dragon pouted.
She received another "Thunder Warning" from the system, but she was used to Su Yu's behavior by now and simply clicked "Cancel."
As Su Yu, Wing Dragon, and Sky Dragon returned to the town hall, they passed by the plantation of Crazy Dave, located to the south of the village.
Dave was now the most popular NPC in the territory, hands down.
Not only was he an epic talent, but the enchanted plants he cultivated, such as the Sunflower and Peashooter, were incredibly cute and adored by female players.
In Dave's plantation, besides the five players Su Yu had assigned to assist him, there were five female players and two male players who had volunteered to help. Despite the small size of the plantation, it was quite lively.
Dave was kneeling in the experimental field, examining a Sunflower that had grown crooked.
He took out a notebook and pen and wrote, "Experiment 43, failed."
"Don't worry, Dave," one of the players consoled him. "Failure is the mother of success. As long as our approach is clear and we're on the right path, we'll eventually cultivate a new plant!"
"You're right," Dave stood up from the field, brushing the dirt from his hands, and was about to take a break before starting the next experiment.
But at that moment, green fog began to spread over the plantation, and the concentration of psychic energy in the yard started to surge.
Dave was initially stunned, then overjoyed!
The sudden increase in psychic energy sparked a new idea in his mind—perhaps he could complete the experiment using that method.
He called out to the players in the yard, "Everyone, I've just had a great idea! Whether the experiment succeeds or not might depend entirely on this!"
