Chapter 19: The Changes in the Level 2 Village

The upgrade of Daming Village into a Level 2 Village immediately stirred the hearts of thousands of players in the Great Han Dynasty. The news quickly spread to the Huaxia Region channel, where all kinds of rumors flew everywhere.

Qing Province, on the coast of the Bohai Sea.

A short while ago, the Fatty, who had just moved Fengling Village here, was casually chatting in the channel when he suddenly heard the announcement boom from the sky.

I Love Eating Perch knew Mo Xiaobai’s capabilities well, so he was not surprised that Mo Xiaobai could raise his territory’s level so quickly. He just blinked his eyes a bit shyly and said, “Hehe, no wonder he is a illegitimate son of the Will of the Universe. He upgraded without making a sound.”

The Fatty was now more convinced than ever that Mo Xiaobai had inherited the bloodline of the Will of the Universe.

“Has someone already upgraded their territory?”

“Is this just a daydream?”

Because the news spread so fast between the two channels, it almost became a topic of discussion for everyone. Even Yang Yang Yang, who was located at West Lake, learned about this information very quickly.

Yang Yang Yang frowned slightly. She knew very well how troublesome it was to upgrade a territory.

Putting aside the requirements for resources, Renown, and Fame, just the need to reach the full population limit was not a goal that could be achieved in a short time.

“The Intellect Brain randomly refreshes only a dozen Refugees every two to three days. How did this guy manage to reach full population?” Yang Yang Yang was very confused. Her Silver territory had an initial population cap of 200, but her current population was still less than 100.

“Could it be that his Lord Token is a Bronze Token, one rank lower than Silver?”

“If it is really a Bronze-grade territory, Daydreaming surely cannot be that mysterious first person, right?”

Yang Yang Yang felt she had walked into a dead end. According to common sense, the person currently capable of achieving the territory upgrade goal should be that mysterious first person who entered the Plane one step earlier than her.

But if the First Lord’s territory was only a mere Bronze territory, who could believe that?

The rewards for being number one must be better than hers.

Confused and unable to figure it out, Yang Yang Yang frowningly wrinkled her slender eyebrows. Then, she closed the channel with her right hand, deciding that what she could not see, she would not have to worry about.

…

“Territory: Daming Village!”

“Level: Level 2 Village!”

“Lord: Daydreaming!”

“Fame: 155; Security: 80; Populace Sentiment: 88; Defense: 10”

“Area: 2500 mu; Population: 100/500”

“Buildings: Lord’s Manor (Level 2), Farmland (10), Houses (20), Granary (1), General Storehouse (1), Mine (1), Logging Camp (1), Market (Village Level 1), Militia Training Ground (Village Level 1), Blacksmith Shop (Village Level 1), Fence (One row)”

“Resources: 10 Gold, 100 Copper; 2140 Wood; 2057 Stone; 974 Rice.”

“Technology: None!”

“Affiliation: None!”

“Features: None!”

“Armaments: None!”

Looking at the upgraded territory attributes, Mo Xiaobai, who knew nothing about the chaos in the channels, just curled his lips in disdain.

The Intellect Brain was stingy as always!

Apart from the increase in population cap and territory area, the only benefit of the upgrade was a slight boost to the level of the Lord’s Manor.

Well, from an appearance, his stone house manor seemed a bit more beautiful.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

No, there were no benefits, but the upgrade mission was still issued as usual.

“Territory Promotion Mission!”

“Mission Description: Please, Lord ‘Daydreaming’, upgrade any three basic buildings of the territory within one day.”

“Mission Reward: 10 Fame for the territory, 20 Farmland.”

“Failure Penalty: The territory will automatically be destroyed.”

“Mission Countdown: 23:59:45”

Glancing at this depressing promotion mission, Mo Xiaobai didn’t even bother to argue with the Intellect Brain. Of course, in reality, he couldn’t win the argument against it anyway.

He could only obediently do the mission!

To prepare for this, Mo Xiaobai had already bought a lot of resources while scouring for them.

“This time, I have completely changed the game progress of my past life.”

“In my past life, the first person to be promoted to a Level 2 Village was still Yang Yang Yang, but that was almost 20 days after the Plane opened. Now it has been less than 10 days, so the progress is pushed way too far.”

Mo Xiaobai did not know what changes his actions would trigger, but he had no other choice.

The population cap for a Level 1 Village was too low. If he did not upgrade, he could not accept the people from Eagle Beak Mountain. If he could not accept those people, he might very likely miss out on meeting Medical Immortal Dong in the future.

“Miss Dong, Miss Dong, for your sake, I took a huge risk.”

Mo Xiaobai smirked, turned around, and walked out of the Market.

Gathering the villagers who were cutting wood and gathering firewood in the territory, Mo Xiaobai began to instruct them to upgrade the three basic buildings: the Militia Training Ground, the Blacksmith Shop, and the Market.

Upgrading basic buildings did not require blueprints. The Intellect Brain had already provided detailed diagrams and data in the building panel. Mo Xiaobai just needed to follow the example and direct the villagers to work.

However, in Mo Xiaobai’s opinion, he didn’t really need such precise data. It was simply about expanding outwards a bit.

With the three buildings started at once, the resources Mo Xiaobai had just bought began to decrease “whoosh, whoosh” immediately. But Mo Xiaobai did not care at all. If resources were gone, he could just buy more.

After all, he had plenty of money now!

The upgrades for the three buildings went very smoothly. With eighty or ninety people working together, they completed the building level upgrade in just one afternoon.

“Territory Basic Building: Market!”

“Level: Village Level 2!”

“Scope: This Province Territory.”

“Function: Open Market Trading, allowing free trading with all player territories within the scope.”

“Tax Rate: 9%.”

…

“Territory Basic Building: Militia Training Ground!”

“Level: Village Level 2!”

“Training Ground Commander: Li Ji.”

“Usage Instruction: Activate Civilian Classes. Through basic training, make ordinary villagers master the basics of battlefield combat.”

“Village Soldier Count: 10/190 (Base Count 100 + Commander’s Commander Count 90)”

…

“Territory Basic Building: Blacksmith Shop!”

“Level: Village Level 2!”

“Unlock Condition: Must possess at least one Blacksmith (Not yet unlocked).”

“Building Description: Smelt Iron Ore and produce simple iron tools.”

“Available Iron Tools: Not yet unlocked!”

…

Going from Village Level 1 to Level 2 did not produce shocking changes. The Market could reduce taxes by 1%, which was a small advantage. After the Training Ground upgrade, the total number of Village Soldiers increased by 50, which Mo Xiaobai was satisfied with. The Blacksmith Shop was not yet unlocked, but Mo Xiaobai knew that Level 2 just added a smelting furnace compared to Level 1.

Compared to these upgrades in the buildings, Mo Xiaobai cared more about the Rice Farmland given by the Intellect Brain.

There were 20 more units!

“Adding the previous 10 units, the territory now produces at least 600 units of grain daily. With such a terrifying yield, I must be the only one in the entire Plane, right?”

Looking at the newly refreshed empty farmland on the side of the rice fields, Mo Xiaobai felt even more confident about the future of his territory.

In this life, he was destined to lead everyone on Water Blue Star.
