Chapter 152: Guarding the Pond
After receiving the meatballs on time and eating one in public as usual, Yang Yi returned to his residence immediately.
The next morning, Yang Yi woke up in the center of Fishman Town.
The Murloc Town Center has been automatically upgraded three times, and now it looks quite impressive. Unfortunately, it was still a murloc building with ventilation on all sides, so Yang Yi found some straw mats woven by murloc weavers and hung them on all sides of the town center to block the view.
"The construction of the town's level 1 armory is completed. Complete the task of building the town's level 1 armory within 20 days, and the reward is: a lottery opportunity."
Yang Yi heard the prompt as soon as he woke up. A construction task was completed while he was disconnected, so he heard the prompt as soon as he got online.
"It seems that the construction task was completed last night by the construction murlocs in the town who worked overtime. The murlocs in the town have been working hard recently, not bad." Yang Yi felt even happier after getting up early in the morning and hearing the notification that the task was completed. .
Currently, the Armory is the second initial level building built in Ratchet Town, which is town level 1. Previously, Yang Yi also drew the architectural drawings of a barracks with the same initial level of town level 1 and built the barracks.
The armory is a building used to store and maintain weapons and equipment, and can also improve the efficiency of weapons and equipment management. The barracks can accommodate troops and is a specialized housing for soldiers, which allows Ratchet Town to manage the fighting murlocs more effectively.
Both buildings are general purpose buildings and are needed by the town.
"Start the lottery!"
Yang Yi recited silently, and he entered the mysterious space.
In the mysterious space, it seemed that it was back to the beginning. There was only one lottery disc left in front of Yang Yi.
"Village-level rewards can no longer be drawn. If you need low-level architectural drawings, skill books, etc. in the future, you will have to spend money to buy those without system special effects." Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh.
According to the rules of the lottery system summarized by Yang Yi before, low-level drawings must be drawn first, and then the corresponding upgrade drawings can be drawn.
In other words, a building like a wharf with an initial level of village level 1 must first draw a village level 1 wharf before it is possible to draw village level 2, village level 3 and higher level wharves in the future.
Now there is only one lottery disc left in the lottery space, and the drawings are town-level drawings and skill books, which means that many building drawings and skill books in Ratchet Town cannot be drawn. For example, there is a hunter camp in Ratchet Town, but no warrior camp. If the initial level drawing of the warrior camp is a village-level building, then it will be impossible to draw it in Ratchet Town in the future.
The system never prompted. Yang Yi had no idea there would be such a change, so he had to pay attention next time.
"lottery!"
Yang Yi started to draw a lottery, the black pointer appeared, and the pointer slowly accelerated and rotated.
Yang Yi was looking forward to it. He had used this disc to draw two draws before, and the black pointer ended up staying in area two for two consecutive times. The rewards drawn in Area 2 are still the same as before. The armory and barracks are construction drawings of general buildings.
"No. 7, No. 7..."
Area 7 is the triple major prize, and Yang Yi hopes that the pointer will stop in area 7 every time.
One, two, three,...six, seven, the black pointer is getting slower and slower.
Finally, the black pointer crossed Area 7 and stayed in Area 1.
"No. 1, the architectural drawings of the fish people, this is not bad."
Yang Yi exited the mysterious space and opened the drawing in his hand.
[Architectural Drawing: Guardian Water Pond (Town Level 1)]
【Mlocculant Building】
[Construction Material: Stone 2000]
[Construction requirements: 1 level 4 construction worker, 1 level 3 construction worker]
[Building function: Accommodates the guardian of a town and increases the town’s defense strength. 】
[System effects: Captivate or imprison the town guardian, summon the guardian to attack the target. 】
[Requirements for use: 1 pool guardian]
"Good thing! This is a defensive building of the fishmen, and it is not the only special effect building. Build a few more in Ratchet Town, and raise some powerful guardians. During the war, these guardians will emerge from the pool, The effect must be good." Yang Yi was overjoyed.
While drawing the reward, Yang Yi also got a red scroll. He then opened it and found that it was another difficult task.
"The mission is to capture the backwater oasis? Can it be more reliable?" Yang Yi was helpless. Since he was upgraded to the town, he has received such difficult missions, although each mission seems to be very difficult for Ratchet Town. The development is very beneficial, but it is not easy to complete the task.
Currently, in addition to the architectural drawing of the town's level 1 guardian pool, Yang Yi also has an [Architectural Drawing: City Wall (Town Level 1)].
This city wall construction drawing was the first drawing obtained by lottery after upgrading to the town. Because there were no level 4 construction workers in the town at that time, there was no way to build it. Later, Gulu Ratchet's construction worker was upgraded to a level 4 construction worker. At this time, he happened to receive the construction drawings of the town's level 1 barracks in a lottery at the beginning of the month. The initial level of the barracks is town level 1. In order to complete the construction task, Yang Yi arranged for Gulu to build the barracks first.
"As long as the guardian pool and city walls are built, Ratchet Town's defense will be greatly improved. Even if the centaurs come again, they can rely on the city walls and guardians to keep them out of the town."
Yang Yi jumped out of the town center with two drawings. He wanted to go to the old blind man to discuss construction matters.
It happened that the old blind man ran to the center of the town to find him at this time.
"Lord, a large army of Kolkar centaurs appeared near the Dead Water Oasis, and now they are attacking the tribal coalition stationed in the Dead Water Oasis." The old blind man reported.
"Oh? These Kolkar centaurs are fast enough. What is the current situation in the Dead Water Oasis?" Yang Yi asked.
"Lord, the Kolkar centaurs did not launch a frontal charge against the tribal coalition. They have been running around the Dead Water Oasis, constantly throwing torches to burn the oasis and the forest." The old blind man said.
"These Kolkar centaurs are quite smart, but it's a pity for the forest in the Dead Water Oasis. Just now, the fire bombs of the orcs' catapults hit it hard, and more than half of the forest has been burned. Today, it will be set on fire by the Kolkar centaurs again. It is estimated that the forest will be burned down after this battle." Yang Yi said.
The Kokar Centaurs are not good at attacking, and their advantage in running speed requires enough space to play out. Therefore, it is a good idea to set fire to the forest of the Dead Water Oasis first. Maybe the fire can force the tribal coalition out of the fortifications in the forest.
"Let them fight, we will send more murlocs to guard the west of the town and let the fighting murlocs in the town prepare for battle." Yang Yi ordered, and then he took out two construction drawings, "Old Blind Eye, this lord has two construction drawings here, build these two buildings."
"It's the city wall and the guardian pool!" The old blind eye took the two construction drawings from Yang Yi, and he was very happy when he saw them. These two buildings are very helpful to the ratchet town.
"Lord, what should we use to be the guardian of the pool?" The old blind eye asked.
"Well, we will talk about this later. You go and arrange for the town's construction murlocs to build a few more guardian pools. At present, the west of the town is the most unstable, so build a few more in the west." Yang Yi said.
"Yes, Lord."
The old blind man took two construction drawings to arrange the construction, while Yang Yi was thinking about how to find a suitable pond guardian.
"It would be best if the guardian had long-range attack capabilities like a defense tower. Of course, the stronger the guardian, the better. If every guardian pond had a Kraken like Tesser, then Ratchet Town would be awesome."
Yang Yi thought about it and found that there were quite a few suitable aquatic life forms, but those powerful aquatic life forms were either in groups or hidden, so it was not easy to invite them to Ratchet Town.
"It seems that we have to rely on the Murloc Sea Oath Altar, but the current situation of Dead Water Oasis is not suitable for the use of the Sea Oath Altar."
The marine creatures summoned by the Sea Oath Altar are of varying strengths, so for safety reasons, more combat murlocs need to be sent to guard them. At present, Dead Water Oasis is in a war, and combat murlocs need to guard the west of the town to prevent unexpected situations.
After arranging things for the old blind man, Yang Yi went to the north of Ratchet Town near the direction of Thorn Ridge. This place has been designated by Yang Yi as the Rattle Valley for raising land beasts in Ratchet Town.
Yang Yi first went to the Kodo Valley in the Beast Valley. Now there are more than 60 Kodos of all sizes in the Kodo Valley. After the guidance of the tauren Jerrick Gaoshan and the use of soothing potions, these Kodos live leisurely in the valley.
The notice of purchasing Kodo cubs outside Ratchet Town is still nailed on the bulletin board, so new Kodos are sent to the valley from time to time.
Not far from the Kodo Valley are the eight animal pens where Ratchet Town raises spotted wild boars. After several months of hard work by the fish hunters responsible for catching spotted wild boars, these eight animal pens currently have more than 60 spotted wild boars. The murlocs of Ratchet Town have to travel far to Durotar to capture young wild boars, which is too difficult for the murlocs. Now the eight animal pens are not even half full.
The murlocs of Ratchet Town have learned the unique skills of the orcs to raise spotted wild boars. These wild boars grow very fast and are much larger than those living in the wild. Some spotted wild boars that were already quite large when they were captured are now ready for slaughter.
After the spotted wild boars are raised, not all of them are used as meat pigs to be slaughtered and eaten. Yang Yi will use the skill of the Lord's Eye to select some potential spotted wild boars and put them in the animal taming pen for taming.
In the animal taming pen, there are murloc trainers who have specially studied the methods of wild boar taming by wild boars. They will train the spotted wild boars sent to them into combat pets for the hunter profession.
In the open space in front of the animal pens where the spotted wild boars are raised, more than a dozen circular enclosures more than three meters high have been built. These enclosures were originally used to temporarily imprison kobold slaves and murloc captives from the canyon village. Now the Kobold slaves in the prisons have been sent to quarry, and some of the murloc captives with good performance have been taken into the town of Ratchet, and the rest have been sent out to cut wood or dig copper mines under the trench.
These prisons are not empty, and now they are respectively keeping gazelles, plains chocobos, one-horned zebras, plains lions, red-scaled dragons and other wild beasts. After getting the method of raising low-level wild beasts from the orcs, Yang Yi made full use of them. These wild beasts are mainly used to provide animal fur for the tanneries in the town, or to provide cooking materials for murloc chefs such as Soup Spoon, and to feed the water monster Tesser in the Ratchet Bay.
"I don't know how the Deadwater Oasis Tribe Alliance and the Kokar Centaur fought. The murlocs in the town ran back from the Deadwater Oasis to report. The battle should have been going on for a while. I don't know who will win or lose."
After inspecting the animal raising area in the town, Yang Yi wanted to understand the battle situation in the Deadwater Oasis, so he went to the inn in the town.
There is still a group of adventurers staying in the inn, and these people are the most well-informed. .
