Chapter 3 Chat Forum

Ji Lin walked into the village and greeted the villagers wearing commoners, but the villagers only looked at him with awe and fear.

"When did you get here?"

he grabbed a villager and asked.

Players in previous lives have made a lot of guesses about the population problem in "Civilization Lasts". Some said that the population was plundered to erase their memories, and some were said to be clones. The system never responded to them. Players' The conjectures can only be their own conjectures.

"Lord!" The villagers saluted him hurriedly: "I have always lived here."

"No, it's okay, just go and do your work."

Ji Lin glanced at his actions and sighed.

"I don't have a job, please give me the order, Lord!"

He saluted again, still frightened.

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was the same, he hadn't issued any work instructions yet.

"You go and gather everyone in the square in front of the town center."

Ji Lin stood in front of the town center gate, looking at the villagers and soldiers he had summoned, standing in separate groups on the left and right.

The citizens were about half male and female, with average and mediocre figures, and no particularly peculiar faces. The spearmen were all male, wearing burlap clothes, but the muscles on their hands and legs were more developed, and they were completely weathered. The appearance of a training soldier.

Holding a spear with a tip made of iron ore.

A hundred citizens, a hundred spearmen.

Half of the population is unemployed.

Very unhealthy proportion of the population.

This is the initial challenge of "Civilization Lasts", how to manage this extremely unbalanced population structure while building infrastructure and quickly increasing costs.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. This is the darkest period for all players. The decisions of farming, hunting and gathering cannot be made wrong. Countless territories have collapsed due to lack of food.

"Civilization Lasts" is disgusting because it will never allow lords to easily upgrade their territory. There are traps hidden in every route in every era. Only civilizations led by characters who can identify future routes and traps can stand out. Each Even seemingly glorious and beautiful races have to go through hardships.

The pollution from heavy industry has drained the world of elemental energy. The integration of multiple races has gradually developed internal instability due to the lack of attention to people's lives.

There will be some random events refreshed to replenish the population and resources for the lord players. Unless you are the European Emperor, you can take off on your own with the help of random events. Ji Lin doesn't like to take luck into consideration. The most stable way to get the population and resources is to go up. This time, era upgrades will refresh territory resources.

Population explosion, food supply collapse, decline.

This was the situation of almost every upgrading player who went to the limit and left no room at all.

He won't make the same mistakes again.

Ji Lin focused on the original spearman and opened the attribute panel.

[Name]: Primitive Spear Soldier

[Quantity]: 100 (adjustable)

[Melee Defense]: 48

[Moving speed]: 5km/h

[Armor Strength]: 0

[Organization degree]: 50

[Weapon power]: 5

【characteristic】:

Military Formation: +10% melee block.

Resist Charge: Enemy charge bonus is reduced for this unit.

Against Large: Increases weapon damage and hit rate when fighting against Large.

Very balanced attributes, a module of 100 brigade, you can also set up a higher-level command structure in the future, and after using the barracks, you can adjust the troop strength to the number that the lord deems appropriate.

The organization degree of 50 is very high in the dark age. Combined with Ji Lin's talent last time, these spearmen can achieve the effect of pretending to fight to the death without retreating. The green bar representing the organization degree is difficult to drop.

Armor strength represents the armor wearing rate of a unit. The higher the armor strength, the more damage can be offset. This spearman has no armor at all. When they put on some armor, this The numbers will change. The higher the armor strength, the damage can be easily reduced or even reduced to zero, just like a pistol cannot penetrate 200mm homogeneous steel.

Although melee defense looks like melee defense, it represents the blocking ability of the unit. The probability of avoiding the target's melee attack when faced with an incoming target is just an expected average, and it is easily affected by various battlefield conditions. changes depending on factors.

The military formation gave these primitive spearmen stronger defensive capabilities, which also allowed them to understand some of Ji Lin's simple formation instructions. The actual bonus was far beyond the 10% melee dodge. Some races, such as the initial troops given by the rat undead at the beginning, do not have such abilities. Some special arms, barbarians, will go crazy when entering battle, and there is no bonus from military formations.

"Your leader... comes out."

Ji Lin had a majestic cold face.

"Yes! Our leader is you, Lord Lord."

On one side of the villagers, an older middle-aged man stood out. The cloth he wore was thicker than the others. A spearman who looked stronger and more mature stood out from the queue, and the two walked away. After coming out, he knelt down on one knee facing Ji Lin.

Having interacted with intelligent people so much, he had forgotten that the initial troops given by these systems were a bit dull. They were more like robots than humans. They were no different from robots except that they had flesh and blood.

This saves a lot of trouble.

With the development of the times, we will slowly become wiser.

[Hundred-person leader: Changheng]

[General (Level 1)]

[Features]: Centurion (stronger attributes), Unbreakable (Physical strength recovery +20%, Injury recovery +50%), Hunter (Attack power against wild animals +10%)

[Village head: Chongshan]

[Affairs officer (level 1)]

[Features]: Proficient in agriculture (Agriculture-related zoning cost -10%, maintenance cost -5%, output +5%)

Well, Ji Lin nodded.

The Centurion in front is the position they currently hold, which will change with the transfer, and the following are the names of his subordinates.

The attributes of the two hero units given to each person at the beginning are different. Unlucky Africans may get two blank boards, and the lucky ones will get two senior affairs officers and generals.

The attributes of Changheng and Chongshan are quite good.

Unbreakable gives physical strength and recovery speed bonuses, and the advantages before the industrial age are obvious. The hunter attribute can hunt more food, and being proficient in agriculture will reduce the cost, maintenance and output of the zoning.

"Chongshan, lead the villagers to search for nearby resources, and record the resources you find first."

"Changheng, you go to protect the villagers, and evacuate first when you encounter danger."

Ji Lin issued orders in an orderly manner. Before he issued orders, these people would slack off. Slacking off means resource loss, which means slow progress.

Rounded off, it means a loss of 100 million!

The original spearmen should be able to kill the monsters in the initial resource points given by the system around the territory. Fighting will waste time to open the map. Players who have played RTS know the importance of opening the map. His goal is to let these spearmen open the vision around the base first, and then issue further orders.

Even if there is a catalytic acceleration mechanism of the system, the plants grow faster, and the initial income from farming is completely inferior to hunting.

Ji Lin sat at the door of the town center, watching the crowd gradually dispersing. He couldn't go out to explore with the villagers and soldiers. He also had to get familiar with other things in the human territory. After all, it was his first time as a human lord.

Suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

Prompted by endless emptiness

He opened the forum provided by the system.

The most favorite thing for humans is, of course, to post water posts!

With all modern entertainment activities taken away, the only thing left for them by the system is the forum, which has almost become one of the main ways of entertainment for this group of humans.

You asked about other ways of entertainment.

Ahem.

Later, some people even serialized some literary works in the forum to make money in disguise, and lived comfortably with the rewards from other lords.

No, he opened the forum to see if the current situation has changed from his previous life.

Ji Lin called out the system interface and switched to a new panel.

He even suspected that this system had copied something when it was built, and the yellow forum color made him look very familiar.

Communication forum, trading market, territory ranking

Among the three blocks, only the forum and the market are lit, and the territory ranking is still in gray.

Click on the forum, and there is only one option to choose.

[Dark Age] (corresponding diversion has been carried out)

With the upgrade of the era, different partitions will appear, which are used for players with different tendencies to communicate with each other, and each large partition has a mandatory small partition of the system.

Now everyone is at level 0, and the chat channel is full of demons.

90% of the chats are asking for help, and some people don't want to wake up, and many people who are open-minded have already started to get ready to explore their own territory.

"Who knew I would go back like this! I don't want to play anymore! Can I quit this game and return to reality!"

"Fortunately, my child and I have become multiplayer lords together, fortunately..."

"This must be a prank, right? Is there anyone who can answer me?"

"Help, there is a Skeleton Knight camp less than a kilometer outside my territory. I chose the Undead to start. What should I do? Help!"

Poor guy, he got high-level hostility at the beginning. Skeleton Knight is a soldier of the next era. The system should not have such a mistake, unless it is... a special landform, the Land of Death.

Ji Lin wanted to reply to the message, but found that it had disappeared in the vast ocean of posts.

The Land of Death is the chosen place for Undead players. Ji Lin envied this buddy a little.

Even if the system has divided the posts into different regions, there are tens of thousands of posts for each refresh.

"I chose the elves. The elf girls are so pretty! Pointy ears, cool clothes, hehe - I'm here for the wonderful harem life!"

Good luck.

"Everyone, I chose the rat people. There are so many people, and their eyes are all green. I can't keep up with my food. Will they eat me? A rat as big as a person is too scary!"

No, they will kill each other first.

"Haha, I am the lord of the dragon clan. I can choose such a strong start of the dragon clan. It must be God's blessing that I will become the protagonist of the world. When I become the king of the world, I will end this game and take you all back!"

The lord of the dragon clan is called the dragon nanny. It is not easy to serve these uncles. I hope you can temper your character.

"I got the original swarm nest, why are they barking their teeth outside, and why don't I even have a place to live! Urgent, what should I do."

This thing is rare, very unique, but the transformation is very difficult, or there is basically no room for transformation and you can only go one way to death.

"I choose Goblin. These guys make me want to crush them to death. They are asked to work and there is a chance that they won't go!"

Isn't there a human that must be produced... Although Goblin can evolve into Goblin, just accept your choice. The system won't give you a second chance.

"That day, the old man of science passed away peacefully..."

You are right.
