Chapter 546: Basic Construction
Chapter 546: Basic Construction
The confirmation of the territory and the appearance of the attribute panel do not signify the end of skill evolution.
Lindsey swiped down on the interface.
A list of subsequent basic building constructions appeared, including the building name, construction cost, and simple functions:
【Village Square】
Construction Cost: 200 Wood, 100 Stone
Function: Gather settlers, train them as farmers, and store resources.

...
Lindsey continued reading down the list.
After all, the 【Real-Time Strategy Module】 is just a primary module, and the initially provided buildings are also quite ordinary, giving a very rudimentary feel.
"It's reasonable for a first-level skill to have such an effect."
Lindsey thought for a moment and flipped the data panel to the top.
In addition to minerals, energy, and food, the three major resources, there were also specific resources like gold coins, wood, and luxury items. Due to the complexity of reality, the resource management on the panel couldn't be as simple as in the game.
"In that case, what about the conversion rate?"
Lindsey took out the wood he had stored in his bag. He had enough wood to build houses and even had some left over.
However, after taking out all the wood.
Lindsey turned to look at the panel, and the data just reached 90 units.
Moreover, to allow the territory's residents to use these resources within the game rules, they must first construct the 【Village Square】 or 【Warehouse】 to store the resources.
"Initially, we can only transport the materials manually."
"Everything needs to be done step by step."
Lindsey organized his plans for the upcoming construction.
Just then, Iron Jade ran out from the crowd.
He kept muttering to himself, afraid he might forget what he was about to say:
"Mr. Lindsey, everyone has started clearing the ruins."
"But Grandpa Hammer asked me to come and ask you. His exact words were, 'With these tools, the ruins are being cleared too quickly. Everyone might finish the work soon, so what should we do next?'"
Lindsey conversed with Iron Jade, and Vivian, who was previously unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.
This child had a strong adaptability to Essence.
After receiving the aid of the 【Essence Branch】, she was now recovering from her weakness and could stand on her own:
"Mr. Lindsey, Dad, they..."
Lindsey saw Vivian's anxious eyes, but he didn't intend to deceive this precocious child:
"Vivian, the camp has been raided for a long time, and it's probably too late to catch up now. So, my current plan is to first stabilize the camp internally and rebuild a new home that will give everyone peace of mind.
"..."
Vivian's eyes darkened.
But being a child of the Desolate Land, she quickly regained control of her emotions and inquired about what she had heard upon waking up:
"I heard you all mention that you're preparing to rebuild the camp, right?"
There was a desire in Vivian's eyes to contribute her strength to this endeavor.
However, Lindsey had no intention of exploiting child labor. He gently ruffled Vivian's golden hair and said, "You can continue resting. We..."
Seeing that Lindsey was about to refuse her, Vivian quickly interjected, "When Father handles camp matters, I often watch from the side!"
"As for the surrounding area—right now, no one in the entire camp should know it better than me!"
"..."
Lindsey's persuasion came to an abrupt halt.
His map skill could indeed scout the terrain.
But due to the consumption of Essence, scouting over a vast area was still a luxury.
In the early stages of camp construction,
Terrain intelligence was undoubtedly one of the most crucial pieces of information.
Lindsey didn't continue to be sentimental.
"Iron Jade, call Hammer over as well. Let's discuss our future development plans together."
Iron Jade immediately set off, and Hammer soon joined them.
The four of them gathered in the newly constructed Civic Center to discuss the upcoming town-building plans.
All construction required resources.
Lindsey wasn't in a rush to build a training facility for soldiers; he was confident in his ability to handle the situation with his combat skills.
But the Village Square, Well, Farmland, Lumber Mill...
These production resources and essential buildings for managing the town must be constructed at the fastest possible speed.
Next was the issue of food.
Lindsey could feed this group of over a hundred people for a meal, but it was impossible to continue like this daily.
His supplies were only meant for his personal travel.
It was challenging to meet the demands of such a large group.
Lindsey chose to prioritize the issue of feeding everyone, so he turned to Vivian, "Vivian, how did the Ara Camp previously solve the problem of food sources?"
Vivian immediately replied, "Hunting and farming!"
"When the people from Green Marshland came, the focus was on attacking and hiding. The hidden granary should still have some supplies left."
Hearing this, Lindsey nodded slightly and stated the current construction requirements, "My Awakened skills can be very effective in town construction, but normal resources cannot be reduced. According to our current situation, the priority is to obtain wood and stone."
Hammer promptly responded, "Sir, stones can be easily collected in the wasteland, and we can gather a significant amount in no time. But as for wood... What about shrubs?"
Vivian added, "If it's about shrubs, there's a patch of them upstream along the Lan River. If it's just for daily life and warmth, it won't be a problem for a short period."
Lindsey shook his head slightly, "Shrubs might not be enough. I need a large amount of timber from trees, which is crucial for our upcoming camp construction."
"..."
As Lindsey spoke, an awkward silence filled the room.
Hammer and little Vivian exchanged glances, while Iron Jade scratched his nose with a simple-minded expression.
Finally, the older Hammer spoke up, "Sir Lindsey, this Desolate Land has mostly shrubs. As for the mature, good-quality wood you're looking for..."
Hammer shook his head, "It's quite a challenge you're presenting to this world."
