Chapter 209 Strange Substances in the River

There are almost all anchor points around the territory, so it is convenient to check the situation outside the territory. You only need to teleport there.

In the past few days, due to the impact of heavy rain, it was impossible to observe some situations from a distance.

It is said that the sky will clear after the rain, and the sun will often shine after a rainy day, but the nature of this world is completely different. Even after the heavy rain has stopped, there is no sun in the sky, and there are still heavy dark clouds. Rolling into the raging ocean currents.

"It seems that these dark clouds still gathering in the sky are not brewing for the next heavy rain. They will probably gradually dissipate as time goes by."

When Ning Ze and his party teleported to an area twenty kilometers away through the anchor point, he felt that the air was still very moist. Even if he was wearing dry clothes, he still felt like the clothes were sticking to his body, and Not very comfortable.

And he didn't pay too much attention to these things, and instead picked up a telescope to observe the things around him.

After some observation, he found that the terrain here has still changed a lot compared to before. The power of the heavy rain is still not weak. After a large amount of soil and low hills have been washed away, the topography has undergone significant changes. Change.

In some low-lying areas, a large amount of rainwater gathered, forming lakes, and there was a river not far away.

As a professional with some relationship with geology, Wang Xu immediately expressed his opinion: "Lord, it seems that this river has been successfully formed. Judging from the trend of the water flow, I am afraid there will be no interruption in the short term. flow situation.”

However, Ning Ze chuckled: "Don't just pick nice things to say. Even if I don't understand the formation of rivers, I know it's not that simple. The most important thing is whether the source is stable."

"This river has been dry for so long before, indicating that there is a problem at its source. Even if it rains so much now, I am afraid it will only be able to form some lakes and rivers temporarily."

"But in this world, maybe things will change a little bit."

Wang Xu said: "It's not that complicated. Generally, rivers are formed in one of these ways. One is formed by the melting of ice and snow on the mountains, thus providing a steady stream of water for the river. The other is formed by rainwater. For example, in some tropical rainforests, rivers will overflow during the rainy season and dry up during the dry season, but generally speaking, even if there is a drought, sooner or later the rainy season will come."

"So, as long as this area can maintain rainy weather conditions, the river should be saved."

In fact, no matter how you say it, the formation of a river is inseparable from changes in weather phenomena, and it's not just that. Ning Ze always felt that the previous drying up of this river had nothing to do with weather phenomena.

Because before this heavy rain, it had rained in this area. Although it was just acid rain, this also shows that this area is not actually short of rainwater.

"It's useless to speculate so much, but how to use this river? And even if those lakes are to dry up, it will probably take a long time. If they can't be used, it would be too wasteful."

Wang Xu also nodded in agreement with his remarks. He couldn't help but said: "The river may be diverted to irrigate some crops in the territory. In addition, my subordinates feel that it is also necessary to arrange a moat for the territory. After all, having a moat can increase the defensive nature of the territory."

"This is possible."

Ning Ze nodded and said, in fact, based on the current comprehensive level of the territory, there are not many places that can be used for the use of rivers. For example, relying on water conservancy to generate electricity is all wishful thinking.

But even so, it is impossible to use the water in the river to irrigate crops.

With the increase of agricultural land in the territory, water sources have become a big problem. There are indeed a lot of groundwater resources in the area where the territory is located, but there is not much water that can be used in a short time. Perhaps those wells will now be used The water in it is barely enough to irrigate the farmland, but it will definitely not be enough later, even if some more wells are dug.

The emergence of rivers has undoubtedly changed this situation.

The moat is also something that needs to be arranged. With a moat, the territory can greatly delay the local actions and rhythm when faced with siege by monsters or even other people.

Wang Xu suddenly said: "In addition to these, maybe we can surround these rivers and lakes, and then dig some ponds for cultivating aquatic animals and plants, or even build reservoirs."

Hearing this, Ning Ze's eyes couldn't help but light up. He even thought of putting some fry into the river. After all, if you raise fish in a pond, no matter how many ponds are dug, the number of fish that can be raised will not be too large. many.

If you want to truly achieve freedom of fish, you can only rely on the great nature. If a large number of fish can survive in the entire river, then there will be inexhaustible supplies.

"But in this case, if you want to fully utilize these rivers and lakes, I am afraid that some projects will be needed. However, the manpower in the territory is not sufficient, and such a project is not too small."

In the final analysis, it is still a problem of insufficient manpower. Although he currently has more than 200 people in his territory, if you really want to talk about it, this number of people is far from enough to even build a town.

Just at this time, good news came from Wang Zhi. The main city had been established, and he had now promoted the main city on the chat channel and began to recruit city residents.

Ning Ze was quite concerned about matters in the main city. Since there was nothing else to do at this time, he simply went there to take a look.

Just after Ning Ze and his party left, an unknown object gradually emerged from the river not far away. Its body was black, like a black crystal, but it highlighted the shape of some creatures.

At the same time, a large amount of black aura emanated from it, but it was obviously different from the diffusion of disgust. It was more like a smoke-shaped light.

A little bird seemed to be tired of flying, and temporarily landed on the riverside, and at the same time pecked at the river water with its nimble little beak.

But the next second, the little bird's neck suddenly stiffened, and soon its bean sprout-sized eyes turned blood red, as if it had seen something, and then its body began to tremble violently.

The flesh is tearing apart!

Feathers are breaking!

Ning Ze and his party passed through the anchor point center and arrived at Wang Zhi's territory in an instant.

After the main city was successfully established, the area of ​​​​this territory was greatly improved, and the area was directly expanded to 250,000 square meters.

It is surrounded by walls made of loess, and the expansion of the area also makes the main city look slightly empty.

Then, he also discovered that a new option appeared on his panel, which was the option for the main city.

This is reasonable, after all, this territory also belongs to his territory, and the main city built on it naturally falls on him.

However, the situation is still somewhat special. For example, his identity is the city lord, but at the same time, Wang Zhi, as the original owner of this territory, has also become the city lord, but two words must be added in front - agent!

The acting city lord can also be replaced, but this action is not too necessary, so Ning Ze has never thought about replacing the acting city lord.

Then, he clicked on the main city panel:

[Level I main city]

【City Lord】：NZ-3534

[Agent City Lord]: WZ-6654

[Number of city residents]: 0 (maximum 1,000 people)

[Main city area]: 250,000㎡

[Main city buildings]: small stone house (160㎡), earth wall (2000m), anchor point center*1, anchor point center (exclusively for the main city).

[Main City System]: None yet

[Prosperity]: 87/10000

[Permissions]: Level I main city effects (choose one)

The panel of the main city is very different from the panel of the territory. At present, the main city is only a first-level main city. At the same time, the upgrade of the main city seems to be based on prosperity, but the prosperity required for upgrade is compared with that of the territory. Much higher. After all, a first-level territory only needs 100 points of prosperity to upgrade to a second-level territory.

In addition, Ning Ze also noticed a change in the number of anchor centers in the main city. He had previously set up an anchor center here, but only one. Now there are two. indivual.

"It seems that after the main city is established, an anchor point center will be given as a gift, which is specially used for teleportation in the main city. Moreover, this anchor point center dedicated to the main city is more convenient than the ordinary anchor point center, no matter where people are. , as long as it is within a thousand kilometers, it can be teleported directly back to the main city."

Ordinary anchor point centers need to pass through the anchor point to be transported to the location of the anchor point center. In this regard, it can be said to be a lot more convenient.

However, there are also requirements for using the anchor point center dedicated to the main city. For example, each person can only use it once a day at most. This restriction can be said to be very large.

In addition, when he clicked on the City Lord column, some more information came out in his mind.

"Is this the exclusive power of the city lord?"

Ning Ze seemed to have expected this for a long time, but when he got to know it more deeply, he realized how unfair this thing was to the citizens of the city.

The exclusive power of the city lord has the following forms. One is that after rebelling from the main city, you will lose three to ten character levels. The reason why there is a regional scope is because rebellion is also divided into different forms. For example, leaving the main city just You will be punished minimally, losing only three character levels.

If you rebel against the city lord but do not kill the city lord, you will lose five levels. If you directly rebel against the city lord and kill the city lord, that is the highest degree of punishment, directly losing ten character levels. If the level is not enough to offset the loss level number, then he will die suddenly.

This is very scary. After all, for most players nowadays, there are probably not many characters who can reach level ten. The punishment for directly rebelling against the main city at this stage can directly turn people into useless.

What's more, even if the level is high enough, because the higher the level, the more experience is required, the penalty for losing level can only be said to become greater.

At the same time, if the main city leader is killed due to external factors, it is equivalent to all the city residents rebelling against the main city, but the punishment will be at the lowest level.

In addition to these, the city lord also has the power to write a system, but if the written system is to be passed, it needs a hard requirement, that is, 60% of the city residents must vote to approve it, and only if the number of city residents reaches 1 Only after a hundred people did the city lord have the power to write the system.

Every time the number of city residents increases by 100, each system will be re-voted for confirmation.

This is quite reasonable and avoids the possibility of some city lords becoming local emperors. After all, the system requires the consent of 60% of the city residents before it can be confirmed and effective.

But the problem also lies in this point. If there are enough "original citizens" under the city lord, or even the number of "original citizens" reaches more than 60% of all city residents, then the power enjoyed by this city lord is undoubtedly clear. Yes, you can formulate any system you want.

The last point is that the city lord can also check the contribution of each city citizen to the main city. This may be just a very common right, but it can monitor all city residents and see who is a good city citizen and who is a bad city citizen at a glance.

"I have to say that although the main city can bring some good benefits to the city residents and can also improve some of the living conditions of the city residents, it is also very restrictive."

"If it is run properly, then the city lord may be able to directly become the local emperor who owns a city. But if it is not run properly, then the city residents may not be able to do anything against the city lord, but other main cities can launch attacks on the main city."

Because in terms of prosperity, Ningze also saw that prosperity can be obtained by plundering other main cities. As for the proportion of acquisition, it was not directly specified, but as long as this is made public, the situation that will be faced in the future will be obvious. .

After all, it is the main city. It does not have territory but also has construction. It can greatly increase the prosperity through construction. The main city's way of improving prosperity basically relies on the efforts of all city residents.

Of course, prosperity can plunder this option, but it is difficult to prevent some people from acting in a bandit manner.

"However, there are many options in the main city panel that are not grayed out, but they can certainly display other content. From this point of view, there may be some reasons why these functions cannot be unlocked, so the functions of the main city should be more than These are some.”

Ning Ze had no choice but to give up. At present, the main city is only a first-level main city, and the functions it has are still very rudimentary. If the only thing worth talking about is the permission to enjoy the effect gain.

Rapid upgrade (the speed of gaining experience is increased by 10%), attribute enhancement (basic attributes are increased by 10%), and strength growth (skill effects are increased by 10%). (End of chapter)
