When did this thing come into my bag? Ye Ci pondered for a moment. Perhaps it entered her inventory when she was looting the corpses, but she did not notice it. She flipped open the book to see what Bob had written in his diary.
However, it was obviously different from what Ye Ci had expected.
The yellowed pages of the book were filled with densely packed words, but Ye Ci could not recognize any of them. It was at this moment that she received a system notification, "This is a language that is difficult to understand. Do you think that you will not be able to understand it with your current level of knowledge?"
Ye Ci blinked her eyes. She felt that the system was bullying her again. It was so subtle, but wasn't it just saying that she was illiterate?
Although she still wanted to know what was recorded in Bob's diary, she had a feeling that it was a hidden mission. However, she wasn't in a hurry. She could wait until she found out what language Bob used to write the diary, and then slowly complete the mission. The most important thing now was to return to the Mithril mine with the approval document and prepare for the construction of the city's defenses.
Ye Ci walked from the second floor to the first floor. She saw Wyatt standing at the top of the stairs with a mechanical, emotionless smile on his face. Even though he was an NPC with high intelligence, Ye Ci felt that no matter how intelligent he was, he still lacked human emotions. When she spoke to him, Ye Ci could not treat him as a real person.
Perhaps it was because she had seen too many NPCs, or perhaps it was because she had spent too much time in the game. She no longer felt the novelty of the game. Ye Ci had to admit that this was a sad thing.
She looked at Wyatt again. Wyatt was looking at Ye Ci. Their eyes met in the air. Wyatt's mechanical smile suddenly had a hint of humanity. He smiled at Ye Ci. Ye Ci stared blankly for a moment before returning a distant smile. However, she didn't expect White to walk towards her. After walking to her side, he smiled and said, "How is it? Did you get the approval document? "
Ye Ci nodded, "Yes, I got it."
"It must have been very difficult." Wyatt was not surprised by Ye Ci's answer. It was as if he already knew that the White Elf in front of him would get the approval document.
"The process was very interesting." Of course, it was hard work. However, to Ye Ci, this kind of hard work was more appropriate to describe it as a form of fun. However, it was a type of fun that NPCs would never be able to understand in their lives.
As expected, White was surprised, but he did not comment on the matter. He tilted his head and looked at Ye Ci before changing the topic, "You'll be able to construct buildings in the field once you've obtained the approval. But it's very dangerous to construct buildings in the field."
"Dangerous?" Ye Ci was puzzled. She was only building the city's defenses. What kind of danger would there be? It was Ye Ci's first time coming into contact with the Building System, and she did not understand the intricacies of the system. Since Huai Ting was interested in explaining the system to her, she decided to ask all the questions that she did not understand. "Will building buildings in the Wilderness attract monsters?"
Wyatt shook his head, "Of course not. Building buildings in the Wilderness will not attract any monsters. However, if you build buildings in the Wilderness, you will not have the protection of the city guards. You will have to find a way to ensure the safety of the buildings that are not built yet. No matter how strong the city's defenses are, they are very weak before they are built. The slightest attack will cause all your efforts to be in vain. "Wyatt did not hide anything. He directly told Ye Ci all the things that she needed to pay attention to.
Ye Ci furrowed her eyebrows. Is this guy trying to say …
"Wyatt, what you mean is … Even if the city's defenses will not attract monsters, other people will attack it?" Although Wyatt avoided the question, it did not mean that Ye Ci did not understand. However, she did not get a definite answer. Therefore, with the intention of strangling all hidden dangers in the cradle, Ye Ci asked again.
"This depends on how popular you are. If you are not popular, it will be quite troublesome. " Wyatt still did not answer Ye Ci directly. However, his answer basically confirmed Ye Ci's speculation. However, after Wyatt said this, he seemed to realize that his words were not very pleasant to hear. He added, "Although I don't have much contact with adventurers, I know that you are not as peaceful in the Wilderness as you appear to be in the City."
Wasn't this nonsense? If you PK in the City, you will be arrested and sent to jail. In the Wilderness, it was not a big deal even if you killed people from your own continent.
"Then, do you have a way to reduce this danger to the minimum?" Ye Ci pondered for a moment, and decided that White must have a way to solve the problem since he was the one who brought it up. She decided to continue with her questions.
Wyatt shrugged and said, "It's not that there is no way, but it may not be that effective."
"What?"
"Just increase the construction speed. If you decide to build a building, you can rent some construction workers from the Construction Guild to help you build the building. As long as you can guarantee the materials, their construction speed is actually very fast. If you can increase the construction speed, then even if there is danger, it can be reduced by a lot." Wyatt smiled and said, "Of course, the construction workers are not rented for free."
At this point, someone came to look for Wyatt. He politely nodded to Ye Ci and said goodbye.
Ye Ci looked at his back, and a few black lines slowly appeared on her head. In fact, this Wyatt did not really want to help her think of a way. In fact, this Wyatt was specially prepared to be a pimp for the Construction Guild to expand their business. That must be it! That must be it!
Although she knew that the rental construction workers would be ruthlessly ripped off by the system, she knew that if she really started building the Lesser Demon Sanctuary, she would not be able to do it quietly. After all, there were still many players in the Lesser Demon Sanctuary. Moreover, the place had already attracted the attention of many guilds. If she suddenly started building a building now, the guilds would definitely be suspicious.
Every guild had their own way of doing things. Some would secretly investigate, while others would not be so cautious and would directly attack. Not to mention that there was a Demon King in Golden Era. If she did not increase the construction speed, who knew what would happen in the end?
After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he had no choice but to take this blow. Even if he didn't want to, he had to take it.
Of course, if she had to take the hit, Ye Ci would rather look for the Construction Guild in Red Lake City than in Champion City. After all, Red Lake City was her territory. Moreover, she had a high reputation in Red Lake City. She might even be able to negotiate with the construction workers there.
This was the most difficult time for the guild. Not only did they have to develop the guild, they also had to explore new dungeons, they also had to raise all kinds of Life Players, and they also had to fork out money to build the Mithril mine. Although money was not omnipotent, it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, Ye Ci had to consider the guild's expenses. She could not afford to be extravagant where she could save.
Since White was ignoring her, Ye Ci did not bother. She pulled up her cloak and covered her face even more. Then, she walked out of the Construction Guild's headquarters and headed straight for the teleportation stone. In the blink of an eye, she had arrived at Red Lake City.
Based on Ye Ci's reputation in Red Lake City, she had received a positive reply from the Construction Guild's headquarters. If she wanted to rent construction workers, she would be able to get a good discount. Although the cost of renting a construction worker was very high, it did not affect Ye Ci's good mood. After all, grasshoppers were still meat. Every penny counted.
With the approval document, the construction blueprints, and the support of the construction workers and the guild members, everything was ready for the construction of the city's defences. The only thing left to do was to prepare the various construction materials according to the blueprints.
Actually, the preparation of construction materials was the simplest, but also the most difficult. The simple fact was that if you had money, then you could buy whatever materials you needed from the market. The most difficult part was that sometimes, some buildings required some special materials that were not available on the market. Then, you would be stuck with one or two materials and not be able to do anything. This was the most depressing thing.
Fortunately, Ye Ci's luck was not bad. Although the blueprints indicated a large number of materials, and one or two of the rarer materials, she was able to buy them from the market Up Everyday. Of course, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the large guilds, she spent about ten days preparing the materials Up Everyday. The materials she bought every day would not affect the market, and there would not be any special disturbances. She was able to gather all the required materials without anyone noticing.
During these ten days, Ye Ci was still training hard in the Misty Forest. Strangely enough, she did not encounter any assassins from Golden Era during these ten days. She did not even meet a single Golden Era player. No one from Golden Era spoke on the world channel either. They were so quiet that it was as if they did not exist.
However, the quieter it was, the more uneasy Ye Ci felt. She did not believe that Golden Era was a guild that would be willing to suffer in silence. They must be preparing for the next big reshuffle of Fate. They were just waiting for the right time to go all out and shock Fate once again.
Ye Ci did not know what it was, and she could not confirm if her guess was correct. However, that was not important at the moment. What was important was that she had finally reached lvl70 after ten days of hard work. In fact, it was extremely difficult to reach lvl70 from lvl69. Fortunately, Ye Ci had found a few spawn points, and after a few days of continuous grinding, she was able to reach lvl70. This was something worthy of celebration, but there was also a bit of regret amidst the celebration.
For example, Ol 'Six was still in the process of evolving, and Ye Ci did not know when the Holy Dragon would appear before her in a brand new form, bringing her a huge surprise.
On the day Ye Ci reached lvl70, she received a message from Bai Mo, informing her that all the materials were ready. Ye Ci immediately rushed back to Red Lake City, and waited patiently for the day and night to change. When Fate was shrouded in darkness, she immediately made her way to Red Lake City's Construction Guild.
The cost of a construction worker was 100,000 gold coins per day. Even if she could get a discount, the cost of a construction worker was still 80,000 gold coins per day. It would take more than a dozen construction workers to build a fortress that could surround the entire Mithril ore vein. Even though Ye Ci wanted to rent a few hundred construction workers to build the fortification, she did not have that much money. Furthermore, the Construction Guild had a limit on the number of construction workers that players could rent at a time.
"I can only rent 50 of them?" Ye Ci creased her eyebrows. The cost of hiring 50 construction workers was 4,000,000 gold coins per day. Even though it was high, the initial investment was still worth it. However, if she could only rent 50 construction workers, wouldn't that slow down the construction process?
"Yes. According to the blueprint you provided, you can only rent 50 construction workers at most, and they can only be rented for 4 days." The NPC at Red Lake City's Construction Guild answered Ye Ci in a reliable manner.
"Can the fortification be completed in 4 days?" Ye Ci pointed at the blueprint in front of him. "What's this?"
"If there's no external interference, it's possible." The NPC replied with a smile.
Ye Ci rolled her eyes. Damn, isn't that the same as not answering at all? There was nothing she could do about the NPC. She had no choice but to pay the 50 construction workers' wages for 4 days, and received a summoning tool the size of an apple. It was said that construction workers would be summoned by pressing a button at the location they wanted to build. The construction workers' working hours were also calculated from the moment they were summoned.
Ye Ci took in a deep breath as she stared at the summoning tool in her hand. She could only pray that nothing would happen to slow her down in the next four days. If that were to happen, the guild's final investment would be wasted. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
