With a swipe, a flash of white light, Ouyang Shuo finally appeared in the wilderness of the main plane. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, a burst of system announcements exploded in his ears.

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Dichen for successfully establishing the first first-class village in China - Handan Village, with a special reward of 1100 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Wolf Warrior for successfully establishing the second first-class village in China - Red Blood Village, with a special reward of 1,000 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Feng Qingyang for successfully establishing the third first-class village in China-Swordsman Village, with a special reward of 900 merit points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Feng Qiuhuang for successfully establishing the fourth first-class village in China - Luofeng Village, with a special reward of 800 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Chun Shenjun for successfully establishing the fifth first-class village in China - Danyang Village, with a special reward of 700 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for successfully establishing the sixth first-class village in China - Shura Village, with a special reward of 600 merit points!"

Not surprisingly, as early as when Ouyang Shuo was doing the task of building a village, there were already six lords in the Chinese region who had successfully established a first-class village.

These six people were all overlords in their previous lives, and they were the six most powerful princes and lords in China, and they were called the "Handan Six Tyrants" by players. They are the representatives of the major forces in China, and they all use the customized version of the game pod of the Federation, and they can directly obtain the silver-level village building order without doing tasks.

The continuous system announcements caused an uproar. If it's just one or two lucky people who have just started a village on the server, then it's understandable. However, it is obviously abnormal for six people to establish a village one after another at such a time.

The players protested, but the officials remained silent and did not say anything.

Ouyang Shuo, who knew the truth, naturally didn't join in the excitement and began to look at the surrounding environment.

As far as the eye can see, the weeds are overgrown, and there is no edge in sight. The withered yellow weeds, the dry monsoon, the gloomy sky, the heaven and the earth are solemn. Wilderness has never been a paradise, and death is the eternal theme here.

Mountains rise high into the sky in the distance, and the rolling mountains resemble sleeping dragons. At the foot of the mountain, the trees are scattered and the trunks are bare and lifeless.

"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for discovering the new map - Lianzhou Basin, and exploring experience +100."

The main feature of the basin is that it is high on all sides and low in the middle, so it is named because of the basin shape. As one of the world's five basic land terrains, it is widely distributed in reality.

When the game map is expanded tenfold, the hills are ten times taller and the rivers are ten times wider. What was originally a small basin all over the country will become a large basin like the Sichuan Basin in reality.

This kind of terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the edge of the basin is rich in mineral resources, which is very popular with lord-type players. The big forces in the game are basically built on this kind of terrain.

The Lianzhou Basin covers an area of nearly 240,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of the entire Guangxi Province in reality. To the west of the basin is the border between China and Vietnam, which has been systematically modified into huge rolling rocky mountains that cannot be crossed at all.

There is a pass to the north, called Zhennan Pass, which is now occupied by a group of powerful bandits. Further north, Zhennanguan entered the hinterland of Guangxi.

To the east is the dividing line between Guangxi and Lingnan, with lofty mountains and dense jungles. The south side is the same as the north side, and there is also an exit, and further south is the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea. The monsoon winds from the sea pass through the canyon and blow into the Lianzhou Basin, bringing vitality.

In the previous life, the entire Lianzhou Basin was covered in size with nearly 100 player territories, and after mergers and acquisitions in the middle and later stages, three large territories were born. These three lords fought against each other, and neither of them could completely eliminate anyone, and they always maintained a three-legged situation.

Until Ouyang Shuo's rebirth, the game ran for the fifth year, and the Lianzhou Basin did not have a single overlord to dominate Lianzhou. In this life, Ouyang Shuo's medium-term goal is to dominate Lianzhou and lay a foundation for hegemony.

When Ouyang Shuo chose his place of birth, he deliberately chose the side by the sea. As long as you keep going south, you can find the exit to the south of the Lianzhou Basin.

Before leaving, he checked his belongings. For each newborn couple, the system automatically gives away a set of coarse linen clothes and a pair of cloth shoes.

The storage bag given by the system is pinned to the waist, and the initial capacity space is one cubic meter, which can be upgraded. The contents of the storage bag do not take up the weight.

In addition to the village building order, summon charm, and the 100 gold coins rewarded by the village building mission, there is not even a weapon in the storage bag. Resource bags are specific storage equipment that cannot be placed in storage bags, and are also pinned to the waist.

Ouyang Shuo was going to use the summoning charm, so he would find a helper first. Otherwise, before he could find a suitable place to build a village, he would be hung up by the rogues on the road first, and he would have been wronged.

Tearing open the summoning talisman, a white light flashed, and a heroic middle-aged general riding a yellow horse appeared.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully subduing the emperor-level historical figure Shi Banzai, and the reputation will be rewarded with 100 points."

When the middle-aged general saw Ouyang Shuo, he immediately dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly: "Long live the last general, meet the lord!" ”

Ouyang Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up with both hands. His right hand patted him on the shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "General Shi, please get up quickly." With the help of the general, it is like a tiger with wings. ”

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for having no clothes, because of your corporal Lixian, the loyalty of the historical figure Long Live Shi has increased by 5 points."

While greeting him, Ouyang Shuo checked Shi Wansui's attributes.

[Name]: Shi Wanzai (Imperial Level)

[Title]: One of the top ten fierce generals in history

[Dynasty]: Sui Dynasty

[Identity]: Not yet

[Profession]: Special general

[Loyalty]: 85 points

[Commander]: 80 [Force]: 95 [Intelligence]: 60 [Politics]: 30

[Specialty]: Take the lead: increase the morale of the troops by 40%; Southern Expedition and Northern War: Increases troop movement speed by 30%; Insight: Increases the attack power of troops by 20%.

[Exercises]: Sun Marksmanship (24 styles in total)

[Equipment]: Yellow Hussar, Tiger Fish Scale Armor, Iron Spear, Steel Sword, White Birch Bow

[Evaluation]: The founding general of the Sui Dynasty, heroic and brave, good at riding and shooting. He has an upright temperament and is not good at politics. Good at soothing soldiers, not good at managing the battalion.

With Shi Banzai's fierce general guard, Ouyang Shuo no longer has to worry about being bullied by the rogue. The two of them rode quickly towards the south.

In less than half an hour, we reached the southernmost point of the basin. I saw that between the thousands of mountains, a 50-meter-wide canyon led straight into the distance.

Below the gorge is a river of the same width, which bisects fifteen kilometers in front of the gorge and divides into two tributaries, east and west. To be more accurate, the east and west rivers meet here.

There are two rivers, the one in the west is called the Friendship River, and the one in the east is called the Shui River. The Friendship River is slightly wider, thirty-five meters wide; The river is a little narrower, also 30 meters wide. If nothing else, the source of the two rivers is supposed to be a lake formed by the rainwater of the mountains on the east and west sides.

After careful weighing, Ouyang Shuo prepared to establish a village on the west side of the canyon, that is, at the foot of the mountain on the side of the national border. The village is backed by a rocky mountain range that separates the border, with a forest to the west, the flowing Friendship River to the north, and a gorge to the east. In this way, it is not only convenient for territory defense, but also takes into account resource gathering. At the same time, it will hold the strategic point of the mouth of the canyon.

The problem now was how to cross the thirty-five-year-wide Friendship River and establish a village across the river. Oh, and a war horse.

No, in the spirit of doing it yourself, abundant food and clothing. Ouyang Shuo took out 10 units of wood from the resource bag, and with the help of Shi Wansui, tied it with rattan and tied it into a simple raft.

"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully making a raft without clothes and mastering the basic shipbuilding skills."

[Raft]: A simple means of water transportation.

[Evaluation]: It is too simple, a gust of wind and waves can overturn, please drive carefully.

Earth Online is a game with a high degree of freedom. Just like Ouyang Shuo, even if he has not mastered the basic shipbuilding technique, as long as he has the right materials and tools, and knows the principles of the method, he can still build a raft in the game. The same principle, gunpowder, glass, brewing and other technologies, can be implemented in the game.

The two crossed the Friendship River on a raft, placing the raft on the bank and covering it with weeds. Further south, until you reach the foot of the mountain.

Choosing the location of the village is very important, because once the village building order is used, it cannot be moved, and lord players must reserve space for future development in advance.

In ancient times, there was a limit to the size of a city, and bigger was not always better. Generally speaking, the limit area of a city is about 100 square kilometers. No matter how big it is, with the level of science and technology in ancient times, the difficulty of urban management will increase exponentially, and transportation, drainage, urban sanitation and so on will face huge challenges.

A city of 100 square kilometers is equivalent to a square with a side length of 10 kilometers. The Castle Lord's Mansion is located on the central axis of the city and is as far back as possible.

According to this plan, Ouyang Shuo chose the location of the village to be built on the golden section point 3.82 kilometers away from the mountain range on the south side. It is ten kilometers away from the canyon on the east side, and a strategic buffer zone of five kilometers is reserved.

Take out the village token from the storage bag and insert it into the dirt at the village building site. Bite your finger again and drip a drop of blood on the token. Suddenly, the village building order turned into a soft golden yellow light.

The golden light shot up into the sky, exploded in the air, and turned into a golden halo that spread out in all directions. The halo stretched to the edge of the territory before disappearing.

At the same time, where Ouyang Shuo stood, a golden stone tablet slowly rose from the ground. The stele is nine feet high and three feet wide. The front of the stele is blank, and the back is engraved with eight simple characters, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity". Ouyang Shuo pressed his palm on the stone tablet, and suddenly the sound of system lifting sounded.

"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully establishing a village, please name your village!"

With the mountains at its back and direct access to the sea, it is called Shanhai Village!

"Shanhai Village."

As soon as the words were finished, the front of the stele appeared on the front of the stele with three seals of "Shanhai Village".

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for successfully establishing the seventh first-class village in China - Shanhai Village, with a special reward of 500 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for successfully establishing the seventh first-class village in China - Shanhai Village, with a special reward of 500 points!"

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player for successfully establishing the seventh first-class village in China - Shanhai Village, with a special reward of 500 points!"

This system announcement didn't attract too many people's attention. After all, when Ouyang Shuo was still doing the task of building a village, the Chinese region had already sounded such a system announcement six times in a row, and everyone was already numb.

Others may not care, but the six tyrants of Handan noticed this lord player called Wuyi for the first time. They all know very well that there are only six special places in the entire Chinese region, and they can directly obtain the silver-level village construction order.

The seventh place that has emerged now can actually be regarded as the real first player to establish a village in China, and it cannot be taken too seriously. Unfortunately, due to the conditions of the wilderness, they were unable to obtain any news about Shanhai Village in a short period of time.

The first place to establish a village will be rewarded with 1,100 points, decreasing by 100 points for each drop, and 100 points for all after the tenth place.

For lord players, merit is a more important attribute than rank and reputation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most core attribute. Because the merit value is directly linked to the knighthood, the player's knighthood is bestowed, and as long as the merit value meets the requirements, it will be automatically promoted.

The titles of "Earth Online" are divided into five ranks: baron, viscount, earl, marquis, and duke, in addition to the duke, each rank is divided into three ranks, a total of five orders and thirteen ranks.

The merit value of the third-class baron is 100 points, and the merit value required is doubled for each level of promotion. Cumulatively, the merit value of a first-class marquis is 204,800 points, and the highest duke directly needs 1 million points.

Merit points are very difficult to obtain, and can only be obtained by contributing to the country. Usually there are only things like establishing territories in the wilderness to open up territory for the country; crack down on bandits and bandits, protect the territory and the people; There are a limited number of ways to participate in battles, make achievements, etc.

The most important thing is that the title is directly linked to the level of the province. The level of the realm is also divided into villages, towns, county seats, county seats, and capital cities, and if the lord title does not meet the requirements of the first level of the territory, the territory will not be promoted.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for establishing Shanhai Village without clothes. In a village building, the village lord's mansion is automatically gifted. In addition, three village-level basic buildings are randomly selected, and the player can also choose one of them. ”

"System Prompt: Three buildings will be randomly selected to complete, namely the Fence Wall, the Junior Blacksmith Shop, and the Junior Market, please choose!"

"Choose the primary market."

"System Improvement: Base Building Selection Complete, Start Auto-Generation!"

A burst of white light flashed "Brush~~". A wooden courtyard appeared where Ouyang Shuo was standing, and the two of them were standing in the living room of the courtyard. At the same time, a small wooden building was painted in the northwest corner of the courtyard, which should be the primary market given by the system.

"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully establishing a village without clothes and rewarding 10 farmers. Please go to the village entrance to receive it yourself! All rewards have been distributed, please check for yourself! ”

I saw that the golden stele slowly sank to the ground, and in the future, only when the territory was upgraded or the territory was attacked, the stele would rise again.

"System Prompt: Long live the historical figure Shi to witness the birth of the village, and increase loyalty by 5 points!"

"System Prompt: Loyalty of Historical Figures has been increased to 90, and Derivative Trait: Loyalty and Courage (Increases Army Morale by 10%)."

I didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. After his loyalty increased to 90 points, Shi Wansui's eyes became more and more respectful when he looked at Ouyang Shuo.
