Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

In fact, it can be said that it was a natural thing for Shi Anan to take charge of Qinghe County.

A big reason why she was able to control the county so smoothly was also due to the epidemic. It was because she helped the people control the spread of the epidemic and ensured their food, clothing and safety that she now enjoys a high reputation among the people of Qinghe County.

Not only that, because the epidemic also made the power structure in Qinghe County much clearer, a large number of those who were afraid left the county early to seek a new way to make a living. Those who stayed behind, if there were any troublemakers like the Blood Knife Hall, were also dealt with by Shi Anan, and now they have all become miners affiliated with Guangming Village.

Therefore, in such a clear environment, there would be almost no obstacles for Shi Anan to gain power.

After gaining power in the county, Shi Anan was not idle. She quickly asked her people to take control of all the defensive passages in the county. She did not forget that there were still a lot of bandits outside.

Shi Anan's closure of the county was different from County Magistrate Wu's previous closure of the county. County Magistrate Wu closed the county in order to starve the people to death in the county, but Shi Anan fed them without missing a single meal. With enough food and drink, the people became much more stable.

However, now that order has been basically restored and we are no longer worried about infection by the epidemic, Shi Anan will not continue to support them for free. Let's all follow me to build infrastructure!

The first issue is the reconstruction of the county town. In fact, most of the houses in the county town were not destroyed, but some damaged areas needed to be repaired. An An took back those ownerless houses and carried out a unified distribution. As for those redundant buildings, they were demolished if possible. She also wanted to build a factory in the county town.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she was still a little hesitant in her heart. The reason for her hesitation was very simple: the issue of the protective shield.

The protective shield played an important role in enabling Guangming Village to carry out construction so safely. If it were not for the protection of the shield, they would have suffered heavy losses during the hail, not to mention the subsequent meteorite shower.

But now the protective shield does not cover Qinghe County, and she dare not confirm whether there will be similar natural disasters in the future that will destroy the county she has just built. Then what is the point of her building a factory here?

But if Guangming Village doesn't develop towards the county town, its current size won't be able to accommodate so many people. Although she has plans to develop the land behind the mountain, it won't be completed overnight. She can't let these people follow her and sleep in the wild.

Just when Shi Anan was hesitating, her side quest was finally completed!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest - Leading the people of Qinghe County to solve the epidemic, reward: Qinghe County reputation +50%, Cross-lake Bridge *1]

[Because the total reputation of the host Qinghe County has reached 90% (40% from own behavior, 50% from the system bonus), and it is deeply loved by the people, Qinghe County is set as a temporary construction area]

The rewards for completing the previous tasks were announced before, but what does this temporary construction area mean?

Shi Anan had to open the instructions of the temporary construction area and start looking through them. Among the long list of instructions, Shi Anan finally found the key point.

The number of people in the temporary construction area can be converted into the total number of people at 50%. In addition, when the host and temporary subjects perform agriculture, medical treatment, cooking, and manufacturing related behaviors, they can obtain 50% of the experience points for skill upgrades.

What does this sentence mean? It means that all skill-related actions performed by the people that An An had taken in in Qinghe County were not counted in the task, because Qinghe County was not within the construction area.

But now it’s different. Qinghe County has become a temporary construction area. As long as she takes in two people here, the system can count her as one effective person.

That is to say, the number of people required in her main mission has now been met. After all, she has nearly 2000 people here. Even if many people died due to the epidemic and the number was calculated in half, a mere people can still cover it!

Speaking of skill upgrades, before Qinghe County became a temporary construction area, she rescued so many people here, but there was no experience added to her medical skills, so until now her medical skills have not been upgraded to level 20.

But now, she is seeing that her medical skill experience is increasing at a visible speed, and it will only take a while to break through level 20. This is the advantage of having more people, even if the experience value bonus is halved, it is still very considerable.

Not only the medical skills, but also the experience points of cooking skills are increasing rapidly. That is to say, agriculture and manufacturing have not started planting or producing products yet, so the experience points are still increasing at the previous rate.

But in just a short while, the medical skill broke through level 20 with such a rapid experience bonus, and Shi Anan was bombarded with a series of messages from the system.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission of Infrastructure Line 4728: The development of the village has reached its limit. Please explore a greater development direction and upgrade the village to a town. The town requires a population of 2000/20, an average skill level of all 20: 20/1 (status: completed), character experience +]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the sixth infrastructure mission in the main mission: an additional 5000 hectares of protective cover, with two attributes to choose from: 1. Autonomously set the area covered by the protective cover; 2. Autonomously set the type of disaster that the protective cover blocks]

[Host, please name the newly upgraded town (no more than five words)]

[Ding! New task released, Main Task Infrastructure Line 4728: Please work hard to develop the town into a county and enhance risk resistance. Requirements: 30 people/, average skill level of all 20: 30/ (status: in progress)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the medical upgrade level 20 reward: Western medicine system theory course *1]

[Congratulations to the host for upgrading all four skills to level 20, triggering the wheel prize draw *4]

This series of news made Shi Anan stunned for a moment. First, the news of the completion of the main task, because the number of people in Qinghe County, the temporary construction area, was finally counted as 7852, which was 3962 if calculated in half. Adding the original 802 people, not only did the number reach 2000, but it was far exceeded. In addition, there was the completion reward. She thought that completing the main task would directly expand the protective shield as usual, but it turned out to be an additional reward of protective shield.

Doesn’t this mean that together with her 3000-hectare protective shield in Guangming Village, the total area is 8000 hectares!

As for this extra reward of a protective shield, there are also attributes that can be chosen. Shi Anan’s decision-making difficulty has come back again. She wants both of them.

Autonomously setting the coverage area allows her to make maximum use of the area of ​​the protective shield. After all, the automatically expanding range is not something she can control, and sometimes a large area is wasted in the uninhabited area.

And the ability to autonomously set up a protective shield to resist disaster types is even more amazing, because most of the time the current protective shields can only intelligently identify some physical attacks and take precautions, such as hail and meteorite showers.

However, the protective shields cannot identify and resist wildfires, extreme cold and extreme heat. But it would be different if she were to control them. It would be like the protective shield becoming a window in her home, which she could open or close as she pleased.

If you choose the second option, the safety of Guangming Village can be greatly guaranteed.

But in the end, Shi Anan still chose the first option and independently selected the area covered by the protective shield.

She chose this option mainly for the people of Qinghe County. If the protective shield is expanded by 5000 hectares with Guangming Village as the center, it may not cover the entire Qinghe County, and it will also cover some areas that she cannot use.

Without the protection of the basic protective shield, Shi Anan would not dare to carry out construction in Qinghe County, for fear that the endless disasters would destroy it again.

Even if the current protective shield cannot protect against disasters such as extreme cold or extreme heat, it is much better than having no protection at all. So after comprehensive consideration, she chose the first option first.

As long as she works hard to upgrade, sooner or later the shield will be upgraded to what she wants!
