The infinite evolution of the system

Chapter 136 The Store in the Castle

"Look at the man you made, what kind of magician, I think it looks like he got the power of a monster. I don't know what's going on, but I don't like him." Anna Villaris arrived in Zhou Xing's side relaxed a lot, waved his hands behind him, and the soldiers who followed him disbanded spontaneously. Fighting outside is naturally tense. The rest time is naturally the best. Returning to this familiar and warm home, everything makes people feel relaxed. They are all members of this castle, and most of them have their own families. Just like ordinary residents, they take up arms They are able to fight, not afraid of death, put down their weapons, and pick up farm tools to work. The same is true for their lives.

In a sense, they are real, have their own feelings, have their own lives, and also have fears, joys, and sorrows. They have to take up arms and fight for their homeland, and they have no choice but to fight against dark creatures. No retreat, but after returning home, there are also entertainment activities of their own. At a certain time of the month, Anna Villaris will even issue soldiers' pensions. That is probably the happiest day in the castle, and the residents will Gather on your own, set up a bonfire in the open space in the center of the castle, there are monsters in the woods defending the castle, there are dense plants, there are resources refreshed by the system, and there are naturally beasts. It is always monsters and not beasts that threaten the safety of soldiers, so No matter what kind of strange beasts are caught, most of them will become food for the residents, and it also subsidizes the food in the castle. With meat, the man's body will be stronger and the smiles on his face will be more.

It is worth mentioning that after the upgrade of the core building, a grocery store has been refreshed in the castle. Residents can go to buy some daily necessities. Of course, the price is not cheap, and some common items are also very expensive. Among them are the hard-to-see table salt and some inexplicable things that Zhou Xing looked at, such as saltpeter, sulfur, yeast, and even distiller's yeast. It is almost the same as the grocery store in real life, except that the price is extraordinarily expensive and the quantity is limited. In addition, it can be said to be quite convenient, at least the lives of the residents have more taste, they don't need anything else, but they need salt.

But it is only limited to table salt, they are not very interested in other things, and things like saltpeter don't even know what they do. As long as you throw this inexplicable thing into the flame, the normal color of the flame will change color, which looks a little weird, and if you can't explain it clearly, you will naturally find some reason to explain it forcibly, no matter what country you are from , They will habitually attribute this phenomenon to demons and ghosts. It just so happens that there are demons and ghosts in this world. It is normal to throw such flammable and explosive dangerous goods to the devil.

When Anna Villaris and Zhou Xing are together, they naturally have to mutter and talk non-stop. Women, the most important way to share their feelings is to talk, and what the two of them talk about most is the developing castle. Xing didn't put all his attention on the development of the hegemony. Anna Villaris felt obliged to tell the lord all the changes in the castle. When it came to the refreshed products, Zhou Xing moved his mind.

"Every time you refresh something, you have to buy it. Regardless of the price, buy it all. I will summarize a detailed storage method later. The demon sacrifice you mentioned is a good thing, and it must be in stock. That's okay. It will play a big role at the critical moment!" Zhou Xing became excited as he said that, others don't know, but doesn't he, the owner of this exclusive world, know?Wisdom and insights from the modern world have indelible advantages in many places. He knows better than anyone how important things like saltpetre, sulfur and even distiller's yeast are. Most of the time, they just made a drinkable drink, and didn't play the role of wine at all, and even wasted a lot of food. This was simply intolerable for Zhou Xing, but it was also because it was exclusive to the world. Due to the historical background, the local residents have not been able to produce wine koji. It is too difficult for Zhou Xing to produce something out of thin air, and it is not cost-effective. To produce good wine will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and even delay The most important development of the castle itself is definitely not worth the candle. Now that it’s done, the store has been refreshed and sold directly, which has solved Zhou Xing’s many troubles.

So, when he saw the refreshed items in the store, Zhou Xing gave the order to sweep them without hesitation, but the items sold here were really a bit expensive, among other things, it was just a bag of [-] kg of salt priced at five gold coins , only five copies are refreshed every day, and every time you buy an additional copy, the price will increase by [-]%, which is no different from robbery.But that's it, when Zhou Xing saw the column of salt, he still saw the word sold out.

"Why is there no cashier?" Zhou Xing was still in the mood to look around the store that had been refreshed on the edge of the central square of the castle. The lord Hao Ran found that he was unable to do anything with this unnamed store, even to upgrade it, let alone check the data of this building.

"What is a cashier?" Anna Villaris asked.

"Oh, it's hard to explain, but when you buy things, how do you get them? How do you buy five portions of salt?" Zhou Xing could only ask in another way.

"Just put the gold coins on it, and the salt will appear on this table." Anna Villaris replied very lightly, and said proudly: "When this house first appeared, the bosses were frightened, it was me The first to buy salt!"

The corners of Zhou Xing's mouth twitched. He suddenly realized that there was really nothing he could do about such a woman at the stall. Although he knew it was impossible, he still asked tentatively, "How do you know that you can buy things like this?"

"That's it, it's very easy. Put the gold coins on it, and then something will appear on the platform. Of course, you must put enough gold coins, otherwise it will be useless. Oh, by the way, every morning, come here to see Look, you can buy the cheapest salt." Looking at Zhou Xing's helpless expression, Anna Villaris didn't feel that there was any problem with her answer, so she took off the whistle hanging around her neck and blew vigorously. The sound resounded throughout the castle, and after a while, there were several people standing behind her, and they didn't even have time to take off their armor.

"Go to the warehouse to get the gold coins, and buy everything here, without missing a single thing." Anna Villaris gave Zhou Xing's arm a second order.

"These things can't be put away casually. This is saltpeter. It should be protected from moisture and fire. It can't be put together with other things. This is sulfur, which is also protected from moisture and fire. It should be stored separately. This is distiller's yeast. It can be regarded as food and can be used immediately. , so you don’t have to worry about storing it. I’m going to tell you about the new wine-making technology today, pick out a few people who can write well, and write down everything I say. In addition, I will send people to buy things every day in the future. Buy everything. Salt is the most important thing. Although there is no need to deduct residents’ salt, various things will definitely happen to them if they buy it themselves. Hardware coins are already a large amount, not every household can afford them. There is a lot of catties of salt, and you still have to ask people to buy it uniformly, and then distribute it according to the head. With salt, the meat that can't be eaten can be marinated, and with koji, the food that can't be eaten will not turn into water. Poor quality wine, with saltpeter, at the very least, you can have ice in hot weather."

"What, do we still need ice? Do you see it?" Anna Villaris twisted Zhou Xing's arm confidently and pointed to the high mountain in the distance. The sun was scorching under their feet, and the snow on the top of the mountain could not be completely melted. As long as they looked up, it would always be white. Therefore, in Anna Villaris' mind, they might lack other things, but they would not lack ice.

"Okay, I really didn't expect you to react so quickly, not bad." Zhou Xing praised with a smile, and Anna Villaris narrowed her eyes with a smile on her face.

Undoubtedly, it would be very difficult to find out what Anna Villaris said. Zhou Xing had known for a long time that this would be the result. It was often not she who knew the person best, but the people around her. They are people who sleep and live together. If Anna Villaris fights dark creatures, because she has been wasted for decades before, and she has always regarded the elimination of dark creatures as her living goal, so she is a good hand at killing monsters , and under the charisma of personality, leading a small team to fight can also be handy, but she has never been a leader, or she is not a person with great wisdom, as long as the small wisdom of a little woman, of course, this is It's normal, Zhou Xing doesn't want his woman to be someone who is smarter than him.

Anyway, it's not a very important thing, but the appearance of this store is very abrupt. It happened that I was busy with other things and didn't pay attention to it, so I didn't come here to find out at the first time. Now that the store has appeared, as the lord, he can't control it. For the operation of the store, you can only spend money to buy things honestly. It is useless to study the process of buying things. It is better to try to see if the store can be upgraded, just like other buildings. Ask the store to sell more things, no matter how expensive they are.

There is a warehouse in the castle, but the so-called warehouse is only limited to storing things, and there are no preventive measures at all. After Zhou Xing went to see it, he ordered to invest resources to rebuild the warehouse, because the shed that dripped water in sunny and hot rainy days could not be called a warehouse. What's more, the residents don't have the concept of storing various things separately. Fortunately, before that, iron and wood were the most piled up in the warehouse. After the harsh materials are used, such an extensive way of storing materials is not advisable.

"What I need is a closed space that is waterproof, light-proof, and heat-proof, not a rotten house that has been transformed from a cattle shed." Zhou Xing growled at a short man, almost grabbing him by the collar and spitting Yes, this is the worker in the castle. In the past, the level of the castle was low, and the workers only had single digits. The management was very simple, but as the core building was upgraded to level [-], more things were opened up, such as technology research and development, building upgrades, fortifications, resources Mining, city defense reinforcement, and even some special buildings required by magicians all required construction workers. Zhou Xing also invested heavily and recruited [-] workers. Although the result of doing so was directly consuming tens of thousands of transaction points, But it is also worth it, just like a farming game, the resources invested in the initial stage can always be recovered after the castle develops, and there will be no loss.There are more workers, so it is logical for a leader to appear. Appointing a leader is a good thing for Zhou Xing and Anna Villaris. At least they only need to call this little man when they explain things. Yes Yes, this little guy is called Jack, um, he is very familiar with the domineering name.

"Actually, that shed used to raise chickens." Jack was sprayed with saliva by Zhou Xing, and Jack didn't dare to be angry. He could only touch his face to wipe away the sporadic spittle, and muttered.

"Am I concerned about the shed? I just want to emphasize that what I want is a sealed space that is moisture-proof, fire-proof and heat-proof, otherwise this warehouse for storing materials will become a hidden bomb, and if we are not careful, we and the castle will be sent to the sky. !" Zhou Xing felt that it was necessary to tell the serious consequences of the matter, otherwise Jack would not care. When a castle develops, it really needs a reliable and strong warehouse. The accumulated resources are the most precious, and there is nothing wrong with investing in the warehouse. , Moreover, if there are items that require various prerequisites, it is even more important to do a good job in the warehouse. This is only Zhou Xing's preliminary plan. If possible, he also wants to separate all kinds of materials to prevent them from being stored due to dangerous items. And the danger that arises, otherwise, this kind of thing is not a joke. The aborigines in the castle have no concept of this, but Zhou Xing understands the importance of storing supplies in the real world.

Jack finally chose to obey, and there was nothing he could do if he disobeyed. Although he was not a soldier and did not carry out his instinct of obedience, he would still listen to what the lord said, regardless of what the lord thought, anyway, the lord had his own. Whether it is right or wrong, it is right to follow what he said.

"In this way, the original development plan will have to be changed. There are always insufficient manpower and resources. We even have to give up some of the occupied resource mines. The endless monsters are always in the dark. Peeping can never be killed cleanly. Occupying resource mines requires not only miners to mine, but also human guarding. I still remember that in the past, the monsters that attacked resource mines were not strong, and there would not be more than three, but recently , the monsters haunting the forest already have vampires, and they will form a small team to attack resource mines directly. Sometimes there will be five monsters in a small team, and sometimes there will be six or seven monsters, even if they send people to take turns to guard It is also necessary to set up an agency to transmit the warning signal. Last time, a gold mine was too far away from the castle and was attacked. When we saw the signal and rushed over, the battle came to an end. The internal structure of the gold mine was also complicated. , our people were stalling for time inside until we rushed over. Although we finally killed the attacking monster, we also lost a miner and two soldiers. In the end, we had no choice but to give up the gold mine that was producing well. I'm worried , This situation will continue to deteriorate in the future. This terrifying deep forest is the source of darkness. If we cannot suppress it, use it, and destroy it, we, including this last homeland, will be submerged in the wave of dark creatures. "Anna Villaris took a long breath and expressed her worries.

Of course Zhou Xing knows, he knows better than anyone else, as the level of the castle rises, the system will definitely continue to increase the spawning speed of monsters, and increase the strength of monsters, so as to maintain a considerable pressure of survival. Seeking development, seeking resources, killing monsters while fighting for time, and falling behind are all problems, and this especially tests Zhou Xing's ability. Exclusive world is good, but it is also under the condition of establishment and management, otherwise it will be easy to develop However, the castle was slaughtered by monsters because it did not keep up with the defense force. Naturally, all the previous efforts were in vain. Zhou Xing did not allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, he felt that it was time to take out some of his previous ideas. As long as it can be used, it will be very beneficial to improve the combat effectiveness of the castle.Moreover, the information obtained from Anna Villaris is enough to explain many problems. The threat from monsters is relatively small in the early days, and the defense ability of the castle itself is enough to deal with it, but later on, the pressure from monsters is definitely It will increase exponentially, and the more this is the case, the more active you must be, otherwise you will really lose a lot by huddling in the castle and waiting for monsters to attack the city.

Moreover, Zhou Xing did not expect that the resource points arranged outside would be attacked. It was not until then that he understood why the resource points were randomly refreshed outside, and only then did he know some sinister intentions of the system.Almost every place that can be disgusting has not been spared. There is a development crisis inside and monster oppression outside. Zhou Xing wants to develop here and get benefits in the exclusive world. If he wants this hard work to be rewarded, he must work hard. A lot of thought.

"Has all the gold mines been snatched back by monsters?" Zhou Xing frowned.

"It's not being snatched back by monsters, but if you occupy the resource mine again, you will lose a lot, and the gold mine you get can't make up for the loss, so after discussing it with the stewards in the castle, they can only give up." Anna Villaris explained.

"It sounds good, and the benefits of getting it are vomited out." Zhou Xing smiled wryly. There is no way to do this. Shifting the focus of resource investment to building upgrades will naturally slow down the increase in combat power. After opening the distance, this situation also appeared. If this situation is allowed to continue, Zhou Xing believes that the defense force in the castle will soon be stretched.

From this point of view, it is very important to create more special units such as magicians. At least Zhou Xing is confident that the combat effectiveness of magicians combined with fighters is definitely greater than the combination of fighters and fighters. The destructive power of a magician It is not uncommon for a magician to have more than three fighters, and there are more development potentials for a magician. After upgrading, the distance between fighters and fighters will become larger and larger, and the bias of fighters in battle will also change accordingly. Now a fighter As the main force, because of the single type of arms, the fighting methods of the soldiers and the methods of dealing with monsters are very simple, and they can't play tricks at all. In the battle, a group of people rush up, either hacking to death with random swords, or surrounding them in a war of attrition, while some After becoming a magician, the role of the soldiers is more to contain and protect the magician, and the role of the armored warrior holding the shield is highlighted. The magician is under the protection of the warrior, and he can kill the warrior who needs to be slashed with just a wave of his hand. After a good meal, the monsters were bombarded into pieces. Their consumption was only spirit and mana, and they didn't even consume arrows like archers.

In the future, there will be more arms in the castle, and there will be more tactical derivatives. Positional warfare, surprise warfare, encounter warfare, mountain warfare, and fortified warfare can all have characteristics and morale. At that time, the castle can be regarded as a castle. It can be called a strong fortress, but that is still too far away. Zhou Xing was confident enough to invest a lot of trading points, but the reality quickly made him see the status quo. The imagination is always full, and the reality is always It's skinny, no matter how well thought out, the blueprint for the future has been turned over in my mind over and over again. At present, it is only serious to put your eyes on your feet and walk through it step by step.

The plan to strengthen the combat effectiveness of fighters must be put on the agenda. Zhou Xing thought about it, and immediately went to the magic research room with Anna Villaris. Here, you can directly check the magic technology tree. After all, it has been accumulated for so long. Anna Weilaris Larys dutifully wiped out the monsters, but brought back all the things that exploded, and even though most of them were dwarves, many blood crystals and energy clusters exploded, and a dark magician was created before. However, Zhou Xing is quite satisfied. As long as all the magicians in the future have the level of strength of the first magician, even if Zhou Xing's efforts have some rewards, he also has a certain degree of confidence in the long road ahead.

Seeing that there are still more than 200 energy groups left, Zhou Xing directly chooses to upgrade two more magicians. In this way, plus the two non-attribute magicians when refreshing the castle's combat power, I hope the castle already has five magicians Sitting in town, the magician who spent a lot of materials later seems to be fundamentally different from the previous magician. Anyway, one of the two magicians later was a thunder-type and the other was an ice-type, and each had its own attack attributes. The attack is mixed with the characteristics of lightning attributes. Normal attacks also have some chances to cause the enemy to be paralyzed and move slowly. I heard that with the skill, the chance of paralysis and the effect will be greatly improved, and the familiarity of ice is more direct. As long as it hits the enemy, how much There will be a deceleration effect, and after having the skills, all aspects will be strengthened a lot.

"Look at the strengthening effect of the blood crystal!" Zhou Xing cheered up after getting the surprise from the magician. The effect is not as great as that of the energy group. It just simply increases the upper limit of the life value. It is likely to need to accumulate a certain amount to reflect the value. Unfortunately, the ability group only got more than 300 in total, and there are not many blood crystals. Go, I can only use all the blood crystals on Anna Villaris, directly increasing the upper limit of her health by [-] points, which is not bad, it seems that a piece of ordinary blue equipment can also increase by [-] points at most It's just the life value. If you want to be greater than [-] in a single attribute, you need to be at the dark gold level.

Anna Villaris is very satisfied with her changes. She doesn't dislike the small increase. As long as there are changes, she is happy, and Zhou Xing is still by her side. Time, the sky has already darkened. Usually, she is on her last patrol today, but today she is happy, so it's fine if she doesn't go for a day. Anyway, there will be soldiers patrolling spontaneously. It doesn't make much difference if she is there or not.

"It's getting dark, I have found solutions to all the problems I can think of, and I have told the people below to complete it. It's okay, you can rest. After working for so long, you are not tired, but I am." Anna Vera Reese pulled Zhou Xing and walked towards the hut that belonged to the lord. As for what to eat, they don’t have to worry about it. It’s a castle with dozens of people, not counting residents, just follow Anna Villari There are a lot of people fighting in Sri Lanka, so there is still some food for a meal. As for why Anna Villaris suddenly wants to go back in such a hurry, I'm afraid only Zhou Xing knows.

Fortunately, it was Zhou Xing, the strengthened host. He didn't dare to have any confidence in other abilities, but he had considerable confidence in the body after the system was strengthened. Before, he could only be regarded as an ordinary person, or even a person with a bad body. There is nothing surprising about how strong a man is, but after the system was strengthened, his physical strength changed greatly. Zhou Xing himself could see this change. The change was so huge that Zhou Xing Xing has been complacent for quite a long time, not to mention anything else, but the little brother grows up like this, he is proud enough, man, what else is he pursuing, a healthy body and a beautiful wife, in wanting When doing things, you can satisfy yourself, and after you are done, you can satisfy women, and even make women look forward to the next time. As a man, this is enough to make people proud.

At this time, Zhou Xing fully experienced the feeling of a proud man, raised his head and was dragged towards the house by Anna Villaris angrily.The familiar layout came into view, and it didn't take long. Naturally, the furnishings in the room didn't change. In addition, Anna Villaris was quite diligent, and she must have cleaned it every day. There was no dust on the table. Although it was not luxurious, it was There is a kind of cleanness and warmth of home, a small room with all the furniture, the windows are open, the setting sun is slanting to the west, bright red, the round red sun hangs on the branches of the horizon, and a few tired birds returning to the forest are still there. Unwilling to fall, he flew back and forth on the branches, lowered his gaze a little, and could see a road extending from the mountain to the gate of the castle, then turned a corner, extended downward from the gate of the castle, passed Xiao He, and went into the in the forest until it disappears completely.

No matter how dangerous the forest is, it is also an important source of living resources for the residents. If you walk a lot, you will have a road. With Anna Villaris' good forward-looking vision, you will repair the road intentionally or unintentionally, and spread dirt on the road. , After simple tamping, the carts and carriages pulled by oxen can be driven. In the future, I believe that after horses are available, this road can also be used for horse racing.

But now, the main function of this road is still for people to walk. At this time, the residents who entered the forest will come back one after another no matter what they do. They will gather on the road in twos and threes, looking very leisurely. It is obvious that the hard work of Anna Villaris has a great effect , at least there is no phenomenon of monsters rushing out of the forest to chase the residents. When they meet acquaintances on the way home, the residents will say hello, and those who have a good harvest will even shake the harvest in their hands with a smile. A scene of ease.

Soon, the residential houses in the castle will be filled with smoke, curling straight up to the sky. When there is no wind, the smoke can float high, like a pillar reaching the sky, straight and elegant, very solitary. The feeling of thousands of miles, at this time, as long as you sniff your nose, you can smell the faint fragrance, and the soldiers are also starting to handover work before dark. Zhou Xing has no experience and knows that in this world with monsters, he must deploy defenses when it gets dark , Rearrange the sentries, much closer than during the day, close the wooden gate, light two bright butter lamps, and it will be dark.

Zhou Xing’s dinner is a roast leg of lamb with black bread and a bowl of goat’s milk. This is a domesticated sheep raised around the castle, just like cattle. Even the aborigines of Van Helsing subconsciously raise livestock. Anna Villaris This point of view is even more implemented. For this reason, she also specially ordered two people to raise sheep and cattle. This has an intuitive advantage. When Zhou Xing wants to eat meat, he doesn't have to worry about the embarrassing situation of no meat to eat .

Anna Villaris has a bigger appetite than Zhou Xing. Today's blood crystal strengthening seems to be changing this tough woman. Seeing her more prominent figure after taking off the leather armor, Zhou Xing secretly pondered: Could it be that as the strength increases, Body will also improve?Become more lordosis?It's a pity that there is no way to verify this matter in a short time. Besides, this is the critical time for eating, and it is obviously wrong to think about useless things. According to Anna Villaris' instructions, you should concentrate on eating while eating, and you should also think about it. Eat instead of thinking about other things.

Only by eating this way can you eat quickly and deliciously, and you can experience the joy of eating. This is what Anna Villaris said. Zhou Xing disagrees, but there is no way. Sitting with this woman, it is natural to eat Get close to her and kill the food. Fortunately, the roast leg of lamb is good. It is worthy of admiration. As expected of a sheep breeder, the roasted food has a unique flavor. Zhou Xing has a good cooking skill, but it is limited to the Chinese style, which is impossible If there is any chance to get in touch with roast leg of lamb, if he insists on getting involved, Zhou Xing's knowledge of roast leg of lamb is probably limited to one leg. He just finished eating it by himself. In the past, he would naturally roll his eyes, but now Satisfied, he burped and slowly drank the black bread and goat milk.

So, after eating, a man and a woman sat in front of the window looking at the dark night sky, hiccupping from time to time.
