Chapter 166: 167, Return to territory, build wonder_1

Translator: 549690339

In the four hours spent doing tasks in Pearl City, only two were spent actually completing tasks, with the rest of the time spent waiting for tasks to start.

Given these waiting intervals, the old Su Yu would have certainly found some hidden tasks to occupy himself.

But considering Tina, who was with him, Su Yu decided against seeking out hidden tasks. Instead, he chose to accompany Tina around Pearl City, walking the streets, shopping for clothes, looking at the sea, eating seafood  as if taking a small break for himself.

Ever since his reincarnation, Su Yu had not dared to rest for even a moment, always maintaining high alert.

Once online, he would throw himself into tasks, level up, and develop his territory;

Offline, apart from eating and sleeping, he was instructed by Xue Wenli to find and kill ghosts under her guidance.

He basically had not had a single moment of leisure.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yu decided to give himself a short break. After all, rigidity makes things prone to breaking!

After enjoying their time and obtaining a blueprint for a spectacular building in Pearl City, Su Yu and Tina returned to Orleans City via teleportation, and he sent her home.

At the door to Tina’s house on Pinecone Street.

Tina leaned against the door frame, eating cotton candy Su Yu bought for her, with a happy smile on her face, “Nemesis, I really enjoyed the trip to Pearl City! I hope we can get the chance to go again.”

“Ding, [Tina Garcia]’s affection for you has increased by +2, rising to ‘Enthusiastic’.”

“Ding, you have obtained 3 points of World Prestige.”

[Enthusiasm] is the highest level of an NPC’s favorability. Once this level is reached, both parties could be regarded as close friends.

Moreover, once the [Enthusiasm stage] is reached, many more complex features will be unlocked. These will be discussed when they come into use.

“We will have another chance,” said Su Yu with a smile. “It’s late now, I need to go back to my territory. I will go to the barracks with you tomorrow morning!”

“Goodbye, Nemesis,” Tina waved. “But seriously, aren’t you coming in for a bit?”

Tina patted the door frame. She had bought lots of beautiful dresses in Pearl City and really wanted to show them to Nemesis.

“Not this time, but definitely next time!”

After saying goodbye to Tina, Su Yu took the [Hearthstone] out of his backpack and activated it.

The next moment, he found himself inside the city hall of his territory.

The last time he returned to the city hall for the blueprint of the [Pandaman Terracotta Army], Su Yu bound his [Hearthstone] to the city hall, which meant he would no longer need to take a ship back to his territory, saving a lot of travel time.

Now, the city hall had been entirely renovated!

Four hours ago, his territory had easily withstood the monster attack, advancing to the [Medium Village] stage.

Upon this upgrade, all buildings within the village could be renovated and upgraded from [lv1] to [lv2].

As the city hall was the most important building within the territory, it naturally became the first upgrade target.

Following its renovations, the stone walls on the first floor of city hall had been significantly strengthened, and the interior became more luxurious.

Of course, the most important thing was that once it reached [lv2], the territory’s [Tech Tree] gained new research content. Advances could then be made in [Currency Trade], [Craft Workshop], and [Animal-Powered Farming].

Another thing worth mentioning: an [Awards Chest] had been added on the western side of city hall’s interior, housing rewards from the previous monster attack.

Victory led to the following rewards: [Food] x1000, [Gold] x300, 20 iron armors, 30 knives and swords, 10 longbows, 2000 feather arrows.

In addition, there were two badges made of metal——[Glory of the City Defender (Special Item)].

[Glory of the City Defender (Special Item)]

Territory Personnel Accessory

Effect: Binding it raises the personnel quality to [Rare].

Note: Lin ke went to teach, Mary opened a small shop, and I fought bloody battles for my Lord. We all possess a bright future!

“[Glory of the City Defender]? This is a good thing!” Su Yu’s eyes lit up.

This kind of badge was rarely obtained in the city defense battle, and he wasn’t expecting to get one this time, let alone two!

“Am I really that lucky? It couldn’t have been the Sky Dragon?”

Su Yu sent a message to the Sky Dragon: “Skylark, did you participate in the monster city attack just now?”

“Yes!” Sky Dragon replied quickly, “Of course I had to participate in something as fun as a monster city attack! By the way, there were so many monsters that the meat couldn’t be finished, we suffered a loss because you weren’t there!”

“I see.” Su Yu nodded.

As expected, he had obtained the two badges thanks to the high luck of the Sky Dragon.

It seemed he would have to involve the little loli in territory affairs more often.

With these two badges, Su Yu could boost the quality of two of his territory personnel to rare.

After some thought, he decided to give one badge to his butler, Kole, and the other to the old carpenter, Brooke.

There was no need to explain about Kole; improving his attributes not only improves territory management but also attracts more refugees;

By upgrading old carpenter Brooke to rare, his house-building skills improve and become faster.

Hopefully, under his guidance, the construction of the spectacle will speed up!

Su Yu put two badges in his backpack and left the city hall.

Outside, Aphi Village had become a large construction site.

After upgrading to a medium village, each building could be upgraded to [lv2].

Su Yu released a statement.

Swift was directing the farmers, carpenters, and masons versed in construction. One NPC and 10 players were renovating and upgrading all the buildings in the territory.

The territory had long stored enough wood and stone for the upgrade, and they were now using these resources to transform buildings across the village.

Su Yu looked around; everywhere was a bustling construction site.

“Attention, everyone.”

Su Yu opened the guild panel and posted a message in the chat channel: “Everyone firstly finish the building upgrades at hand, then everyone go to the ‘wonder construction plot’ and gather!”

The “wonder construction plot” was in the east of Aphi Village, about 3.4 kilometers away. It was a plot that had been allocated, cleaned of trees and stones, and had roads built.

Su Yu initially planned to build the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] here, but now it seems that he will have to start with the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests].

The guild channel was bustling, with everyone sharing their construction progress and chatting in the channel.

Upon seeing Su Yu’s post, everyone was immediately excited:

“Guild leader, have you already obtained the blueprint for the wonder?”

“Is it [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]?”

“The thought of building a wonder in-game is already so exciting!”

“We just finished upgrading this [residence], we’ll head over now!”

Some players also raised questions:

“Guild leader, I have a friend who is a streamer who wants to live stream the construction of the wonder, do we agree?”

“I also have a friend who wants to witness the completion of the wonder and wants to join in the excitement, can he come?”

Su Yu: “Outsiders can come, but they cannot affect our construction progress, let alone maliciously disrupt!”

“Swift, set up a temporary supervision group of 10-20 people to monitor if any player is causing trouble. Once you find someone causing trouble, put them on the blacklist and send it to Zhen Hong and his team for handling.”

Swift: “Understood!”
