The age of great voyages

Chapter 288 Unified Plane Secondary Authority
If he could, he would like to wait longer, but the problem is that he can't wait. The wild food in this plane is limited. The four-armed orangutan used to catch kobolds, fishmen, and other beasts as its food, but now all these are lost. After Lin Chen was killed, the plane was starved of food. It was fine for a short time, but as time went by, the four-armed orangutans would face the crisis of food starvation in less than a month or two, and they would definitely disturb the territory and even eat people.

Rather than being passive, it is better to take action now once and for all.

Although it is wasteful to use up four flame gems in one go, it is far from the time saved. The difference of one or two months before the competition of tens of thousands of testers is very large, and this cannot be wasted.

Gently put the small box into the small hole, and cover it with a layer of fine soil and grass, it doesn't need to be complicated. These four-armed orangutans are not highly intelligent, and they have never encountered such a situation. The grass is very long, certainly can not be found.

After doing this, he asked four farmers to work together to lure the four-armed orangutan over.

Nine out of ten of these farmers are the kind who are going to die. They don’t want their children to be trapped by wolves. They used all the gems worth more than 2000 gold in one go. As long as they can kill this group of four-armed orangutans, they don’t care even if all of them are dead. , anyway, as long as there are resources, they can continue to be recruited.

Not long after, there was a huge roar and two screams in a row, which meant that two farmers were either dead or injured. Lin Chen thought about it and appointed four more farmers to continue to seduce him. He was afraid that the four farmers would All of them died before being attracted.

After waiting for less than a minute, there were panicked footsteps in the sparse woods. Two farmers rushed over, followed by roaring roars. A four-armed orangutan jumped out of the forest three to four meters high. When a farmer is trampled to death, the crisp sound of bones breaking can be heard far away.

In less than a minute, only one of the eight farmers died.

At this time, several more four-armed orangutans rushed out from the forest, followed by several young orangutans jumping excitedly behind.

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he commanded half of the militiamen and most of the civilians to come forward and attract all the adult four-armed orangutans, fighting and retreating until they reached the trap site. Wisps of flame rose and condensed into a fireball that flew out and landed in the crowd.

In the next second, there was a deafening bang, and a violent explosion of flames rose from the trap, turning into a terrifying fireball with a diameter of more than 20 meters, enveloping all the subordinates and the four-armed orangutan fighting in front of it. The power of the explosion exploded, devouring everything.

Eight militiamen and twenty civilian husbands were instantly wiped out at this moment, and they were all buried as cannon fodder.

Lin Chen looked at the rising flames with an expressionless face. On the other side, two young four-armed orangutans stopped jumping and froze in place, looking at the all-devouring flames with shocked expressions.

After more than ten seconds, the fireball dissipated slowly, only the sparks blowing away with the wind, slowly revealing the ashes inside.

The four enhanced explosive fireballs erupted together, even a ferocious beast like a four-armed orangutan couldn't stop it, and even the corpses were all turned into ashes, let alone a few militiamen and farmers.

As for the two young four-armed orangutans, he waved his hand and led the rest of his men to chase after them, killing them with a fireball.

So far, this plane has no rivals for him, and it can be regarded as completely occupied.

The losses were very heavy, with only seven militiamen left, only fifteen farmers alive, and most of them dead or injured.

When he returned to the camp, he directly consumed 250 gold and 250 grain, and used nearly half of the grain he had finally stored. He summoned a total of fifty farmers and prepared to start farming.

Not to mention anything else, he planned to cultivate another [-] acres of fields on the south side of the lake and on both sides of the creek, which together with the [-] acres previously reclaimed on both sides of the creek would total [-] acres as the first phase of the plan.

But now we can only cultivate the first [-] acres, and the extra [-] acres will take a month to cultivate.

There is no way, there is not enough food now, and we have to wait for a month before the first batch of [-] mu of land matures before we can expand the scale.

One acre of land is equivalent to about 25 meters long and 25 meters wide, or 33 meters long and 20 meters wide, or 60 meters long and ten meters wide. In short, according to 660 seven meters, in addition to the width, 660 seven meters long and one meter wide are also Considered an acre.

Lin Chen's plan is 20 meters wide and 33 meters long. The wide end is close to the river and lake, so as to reclaim as many fields as possible.

Counting the forest dust in the entire territory, only about [-] mu of land can be reclaimed at most. No amount of land can be close to the river and lake, and these fields cannot be planted at one time. They need to be cultivated in turn. After harvesting, it is necessary to rest the field for one season to wait for the fertility of the field to recover, otherwise continuous planting will reduce production.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Chen sent someone to clean up the entire territory again to make sure that there were no wild animals. He found a flat place and made gestures with a branch, and made a charter.

First, divide the field into an area, then divide the west, including the southwest corner and northwest corner, into a logging area, and build a stone quarry among several small hills in the northwest corner. Only when there is food in a month can we expand the scale.

At the same time, when there is grain on the west side of the creek, he plans to reclaim all the remaining land there and plant some drought-resistant crops. No matter what, the grain must not be small.

There is no need to change the base. He is going to wait for the authority to upgrade and rebuild a better one in place. The rear of the base is planned as a military area. As for the southeast corner, he has not thought of it yet, and we will talk about it later.

After planning these, there is basically no need for any changes for a few months. According to this plan, he will first plant a field and accumulate a batch of food. He can also take time to meditate and strengthen his spiritual power and magic power.

Time flies by, and a month flies by. The rice in the farmland is maturing day by day. After meditating every day, I watch the seedlings turn from green to yellow. The heavy yellow ears of rice make the seedlings bend down. It is the first time to plant a big crop. Good harvest.

When the time came, Lin Chen immediately called all the people in the territory to harvest the rice, and stored them all in the large warehouse behind the base, and exchanged them for a few simple rice pounding tools from the crystal simulator.

It is to drill a hole in a square stone to make a mortar, and pound it with a wooden pestle, which is very time-consuming and laborious, and there are not many mortars at a time.

The other type is a mortar, which is to dig a pit in the ground and place a stone mortar with a wooden pole on top. A pestle or stone is attached to the end of the pole. The wooden pole is moved with your feet to make the pestle rise and fall to remove the grain. Peel or grind into powder.

This kind of work is also very tiring, but the advantage lies in the large quantity. Anyway, most of the subordinates are adult men, so it's okay to take turns.

And when the authority is raised, a better threshing method can be found at that time, but it is just a stopgap measure now.

The first batch of millet was harvested, shelled, and put into storage, totaling 250 units, which greatly alleviated the urgent needs of the territory. Lin Chen immediately spent another [-] gold and food to summon fifty farmers to cultivate the remaining farmland.

Although the second batch of farmland has [-] acres, it does not mean that [-] farmers are needed to cultivate it. Farming is only very busy when sowing at the beginning. After sowing, it is not so busy. You don’t have to stay at the edge of the field every day, so you can be free to do other things. Other things.

The efficiency of 100 people working together in division of labor is very fast. After sowing the seeds, they can free up their hands to do other things, such as logging and quarrying.

Fortunately, the summoned farmer has a certain level of intelligence and can complete simple instructions without requiring too complicated instructions. He can also free up his hands to concentrate on meditation.

Next, there is a boring and tasteless life of meditation. You can't leave the plane, you can't communicate with other trialists, you have no opponents, and you don't even have a way to study spells. You can only meditate every day to improve your mental power and magic power, or tease you. Tease the young wolf who has opened his eyes.

This little guy hadn't opened his eyes when he was caught, and he was the first one to see when he opened his eyes. After raising them for a period of time, he tended to turn into a dog, and he was looking for some fun in the boring.

Unlocking the second level authority of the crystal simulator requires one thousand gold, two thousand food, two thousand wood, and three hundred stone.

There is no need to talk about food. Just wait until the second batch of rice matures. There is still 850 gold, which is not much different. Then we can exchange grain for gold. There are now [-] wood. The wood in the plane has not been cut yet. I think I can get it together when the second batch of rice matures. If not, it won't be much different, so I can buy some more.

The biggest problem is that there is not enough stone. This thing is difficult to mine, and there is a shortage of manpower. Now he only has [-] units of stone.

After all, [-] mu of land can produce [-] units of grain at a time, which is already a huge sum of money.

Deep meditation once a day and normal meditation twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Increasing the number of meditations will not only have no effect, but will cause mental fatigue. A normal mage apprentice usually meditates normally, and one deep meditation is equivalent to ten ordinary meditations. , which means that his meditation efficiency is six times that of ordinary apprentices.

Relying on this small cheating method, accumulated over time, and finally entered the fifth month of the trial, Lin Chen's spiritual power and mana standards reached the standards of a second-level apprentice.

Very slow, but normally, mage promotion has always been very slow. There are few ways to quickly strengthen this kind of spiritual power and mana accumulation. Most of them are slowly accumulated through water drops.

In the sixth month, the second batch of grains matured, and another [-] grains were harvested.

With 150 grains in hand, Lin Chen didn't want to wait any longer, so he directly exchanged 170 units of grains for 130 units of gold, and wood has been accumulated for such a long time, and only stone is not enough. He allocated more manpower to quarry, and now he has only accumulated [-] units of stone, which is [-] less than the promotion requirement of [-].

The 130 stone material, if it is gold, only needs [-] gold, which is equivalent to [-] food, which is just a trivial matter for Lin Chen who holds tens of thousands of food.

After collecting all the materials, Lin Chen immediately took out the crystal simulator and whispered:

"Promotion!"

The crystal ball emits a faint clear light and falls. The mountains of food, wood and stones in front of you all decompose into powder and fly into the crystal ball, and then...
"Is that all right?"

The crystal ball in his hand lit up for a moment, but there was no other reaction. If it wasn't for the fact that the viewing authority had been increased, and many new buildings and units appeared on it, he would have thought the promotion had failed.

The permissions have been upgraded to the second level. In addition to these new buildings and units, the biggest change is the unlocking of various permissions. For example, you can communicate with other trialists in the same camp, and trialists in the same camp can communicate with each other through the platform of the Supreme Tower. Trade all kinds of stuff.

Lin Chen thinks this is the best change. After all, trading with simulators is too tricky. If you trade with other trialists, it won't be so expensive. Everyone gets what they need.

For example, his plane is suitable for farming, but there are too few trees and stones, and there is no iron ore and other metal ores at all. Other planes may be rich in minerals but cannot farm. The two sides can use the special products of their own planes to barter Things, take what you need.

The most important thing is that the testers can communicate with each other. Humans live in groups, and it is very uncomfortable to be unable to communicate with the same kind all the time.

Opening the communication channel, he tried to enter Jun Mozhu's name, but it showed that he could not communicate. Either the other party hadn't raised his authority to the second level, or he died. After all, he came again randomly, and he was not as lucky as the first time. Will appear in a relatively safe plane.

Then he inquired about the other nine cousins ​​of Gushen's family. To his surprise, there was a response, and a mature male voice sounded:

"Are you Gu Chen? Have you been promoted to level two authority?"

"Yes!"

"I'm Ancient God's Pond. The plane I'm in is a forest that produces wood. Although there are many wild animals, they can't farm, and there are no stones or mines. Do you have any extra food, stones or mines?"

Lin Chen thought for a while and replied:
"This is a plain, and there is a small river, which is suitable for farming, but there are also no stones or mines. I can trade food with you for wood, one for one, how about it?"

Gushenchi immediately agreed, and a prompt appeared in front of Lin Chen, showing that Gushenchi exchanged [-] wood for [-] food.

Click Confirm, [-] food will disappear, and [-] wood will be newly obtained.

Fortunately, this transaction with the Supreme Tower did not require them to pay taxes, which is good news.

It's normal to think about it, this is not a game, but the confrontation between two huge forces, the Tower of the Highest and the Pantheon, the goal is victory, how can it be possible to set up obstacles for his fighters, if it is not restricted by the rules, he probably wants to give them More benefits.

Then the two chatted for a while, exchanged some information, and then broke off the connection.

Although the two didn't know each other very well before, the same family was a natural ally in the trial, a very reliable one.

Communicating with the Ancient God Pond is equivalent to obtaining a large source of wood. Although it is not an endless supply, it is definitely not a problem to gather the [-] wood to unlock the third level authority. Through this transaction and a few more attempts, it will be easy to gather the rest. Stone requirements.

As for gold, he had a tacit agreement with Gushenchi and did not discuss it. Unless there is a gold mine, there is a shortage of gold at this stage, so it is definitely impossible to trade.
