Chapter 549: Pray

To find out the specific use of [Praying Silver Tower], Ouyang Shuo had to experiment it himself.

Walk into the [Praying Silver Building], in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, there is an operation desk just like the recruiting hall. Ouyang Shuo walked over, clicked on it, and a system notification sound came from his ear.

"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for opening the wishing silver building. Opening the silver building for the first time will automatically get a chance to make a wish. Do you want to make a wish?"

"yes!"

"System prompt: Please select the type of prayer!"

In an instant, five options appeared on the console.

The icon of the first option is the rice on the first floor, which represents the agricultural desire. The following are clearly defined in order. The large scales on the second floor represent business wishes, the copper coins on the third floor represent cultural wishes, the silver coins on the fourth floor represent technological wishes, and the gold ingots on the top floor represent other wishes.

The higher you go, the higher the difficulty of the wish, and the more gold coins you need to consume.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, and chose the simplest agricultural wish.

"System prompt: Confirm the type of prayer, please select the prayer mode. Friendly reminder: There are two types of prayer mode, one is custom prayer, and the other is random prayer."

Custom wishes are easy to understand, just say what you want to achieve. The premise is that it must match the current type, and at the same time not exceed the maximum limit of 100,000 gold coins, otherwise it will be invalid.

For example, if Ouyang Shuo chooses the wish of agriculture, he can pray for the weather of the coming year, the growth of crops, the fertility of the land, and so on.

The advantage of customizing prayers is that they are highly targeted. The downside is that because you can't grasp the difficulty of wishing, it is very likely that you will exceed the limit of 100,000 gold coins, wasting a chance to wish in vain.

After thinking about it for a while, Ouyang Shuo decided to experiment first and then pray.

The advantage of praying immediately is that all wishes are 100% achievable.

"Choose and pray immediately!"

"System prompt: The prayer mode is confirmed, and the prayer has officially started!"

Just as he finished speaking, Ouyang Shuo saw the familiar compass again.

On the virtual compass, there are twenty-four wishes, and each wish is marked with a corresponding amount, ranging from 10,000 gold coins to 100,000 gold coins.

Among them, the wish of 10,000 gold coins is of course the simplest one. Ouyang Shuo looked at it and found that it could increase the soil fertility of the territory by 5%, or increase the precipitation of the territory by 8%.

Further up, there are things like increasing the yield of crops in the territory by 5%, increasing the sunshine in the territory by 10%, increasing the resistance of crops in the territory to pests by 10%, reducing the difficulty of reclamation of farmland in the territory by 10%, and so on.

In addition, each category has different percentage points, which correspond to different amounts.

Ouyang Shuo roughly estimated that no matter which wish is fulfilled, the economic benefits generated in the coming year will be far higher than the gold coins consumed by the wish.

That is to say, unless the wish fails, the profit is guaranteed. The more gold coins you spend praying for, the greater your rewards will be.

Thinking about it this way, Ouyang Shuo regretted choosing the simplest agricultural wish.

All wishes have one thing in common, that is, the time limit of the wish is only one year. After one year, the blessing generated by the wish will completely disappear.

Such a setting is also reasonable. Otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying.

The prayer started, and the compass slowly began to turn.

During Ouyang Shuo's observation, the pointer on the compass was turning slower and slower, and it was about to stop. Ouyang Shuo couldn't control the stop of the pointer, otherwise it wouldn't be called a random wish.

At the position where the pointer stops now, there are three wishes before and after, which are [increase the soil fertility of the territory by 5%] consume 10,000 gold coins, [increase the pest resistance of the territory’s crops by 15%] consume 30,000 gold coins, and [increase the yield of the territory’s crops 15%] consumes 100,000 gold coins.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo's heart rose to his throat.

Every fool knows that the third wish is the most valuable. Just consuming 100,000 gold coins can increase the territory's annual crop production by 15%.

Even according to the current agricultural scale of the territory, it can generate at least 500,000 gold coins in income.

You should know that the so-called crops do not only refer to rice, cotton, peanuts, rapeseed, potatoes, mulberry trees, etc. are all covered by it.

With the scale of agriculture in the seven counties of the territory, one would know that a 15% increase in production would be a huge number.

From this, it is not difficult to understand why the characteristics of the territory become more effective the later it is.

In the blink of an eye, the pointer has passed the first wish and is moving on the second wish grid. But looking at the kinetic energy of the pointer, it is almost exhausted, and it is about to stop at the second frame.

"Go a little more, go a little more!"

Ouyang Shuo couldn't help muttering to himself, as if he was cheering up the pointer.

The slowly turning pointer, as if it has passed through a century, is still an octogenarian old man. Although it is inconvenient to move, he is still moving forward bit by bit.

Seeing that, it is about to completely cross the second square, and it is only a short distance away from the third square.

Ouyang Shuo's heart once again reached his throat.

"Go a little further, just a little bit!"

It's a pity that the pointer seems to have really exhausted all its kinetic energy and can no longer turn. In the end, the pointer actually stopped at the junction of the second and third grids.

When Ouyang Shuo saw this, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"How do you judge this?"

Fortunately, the system quickly gave him the answer.

"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi, who won the agricultural wish [Increase the pest resistance of territorial crops by 15%], and 30,000 gold coins will be automatically deducted. Friendly reminder: The validity period of this wish is January 1st every three years of Gaia day, to the thirtieth day of December in the third year of Gaia."

After hearing this, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help turning dark.

"Grandma is a bear!"

Ouyang Shuo couldn't help complaining about his [Fuyuan] attribute again, even if he got the luck bonus of the entire territory, it was still so rotten.

This will be Bing'er's selection. Ouyang Shuo is 100% sure that the system will determine that the third wish will take effect, not the second.

If you have a black face, you will have bad luck wherever you go.

Ouyang Shuo covered his face and let out a sigh.

Next time I want to pray, I still have to bring Binger, the "super invincible lucky star".

Fortunately, it is already mid-December. According to the time rule of hidden buildings, it is automatically cleared and calculated on January 1st.

That is to say, in another half a month, Ouyang Shuo will be able to make his second wish instead of waiting half a year later.

And at that time, Ouyang Shuo was able to enter the recruiting hall again to recruit historical figures. He didn't know which hero he could recruit this year.
