Yang Rui was mentally prepared for the competition that he would face in the territory competition.
Especially after the first stage of the competition, 112 territories would be created by the top gaming organizations, gaming guilds, and large competitive gaming organizations. These organizations had the world's top gaming professionals, so naturally, they would be Yang Rui's strongest opponents.
However, Yang Rui was not too worried. After all, he had experience in "War of the Worlds" in his previous life. At present, Yang Rui had an unparalleled advantage over others in terms of knowledge of the game's background, familiarity with the game's content, and skill in controlling the game.
Yang Rui was confident that he could achieve the best results in the competition. However, he was conflicted about whether to upgrade the mountain village to a small town in a short period of time.
It had been almost three months since the start of the game. The mountain village's population had already reached 1,990 people. It would soon reach the upper limit of the village's population. In other words, it would reach the population limit of 2,000. If it did not upgrade, the mountain village's population could not continue to increase.
Out of the 1,900 villagers, 1,100 of them were refugees who respawned every day. The other 900 were refugees who contributed to the mountain village. There were a fixed number of 20 people per day. This kind of population accumulation speed was difficult for other territories to achieve.
The growth rate of Liegeman was Yang Rui's biggest advantage. He did not want to lose this advantage in the face of a population bottleneck. Upgrading the town to increase the population limit was the most effective way.
However, Yang Rui was very clear that the appearance of a small town meant that the first system update would appear in advance. It also meant that all the gaming pods would be immediately available in the market. Each gaming pod was priced at 200,000 to 300,000 dollars. Yang Rui did not have the financial ability to buy one.
The most important thing was that in his previous life, "War of the Worlds", the first small town level territory only appeared half a year after the start of the game. If Yang Rui chose to upgrade the town now, it would mean that his rebirth had greatly accelerated the progress of the game.
This made Yang Rui feel that he could not grasp the situation.
After logging into the game, Yang Rui decisively transferred the villagers of the mountain village to the Lower Ink Village. Although Wang Hai suggested not to consider transferring the villagers to Mo Village for the time being, otherwise it would affect the stability and security of Mo Village.
However, Yang Rui still chose the latter when faced with the upper limit of 2,000 people in the mountain village, between the population bottleneck and the impact on the stability of Xiamo Village and the decrease in public security. In Yang Rui's opinion, even if the security of Lower Ink Village was affected to a certain extent, it was still much better than when Lower Ink Village was harassed by bandits!
"System warning: Due to the special attributes of the territory under your jurisdiction, after a large number of immigrants move in, the security level of Ink Village under your jurisdiction will drop by 10, current security level 75; popular sentiment will drop by 10, current popular sentiment will drop by 78!"
Just as Yang Rui moved the 100 villagers from the mountain village to Shimo Village, the system warning sounded in Yang Rui's ears. It seemed that Wang Hai's warning was not groundless. Not only did Shimo Village's security drop by 10 points, but its popularity also dropped by 10 points!
It was normal for the two territories that belonged to the same faction to have all kinds of exchanges. Moving some villagers would not have much of an impact. However, Shimo Village was a little special. According to Wang Hai, Shimo Village should be a village with a special history and origin. This could be seen from the fact that the entire Shimo Village had the surname "Mo". Hence, there was a drop in public security and popularity.
Yang Rui was not unhappy because of Shimo Village's uniqueness. Although Shimo Village's public security and popularity had decreased by a lot, this also proved that it was special.
Previously, Mo Qing, Mo Lin, and Wang Hai had mentioned Shimo Village. Since Shimo Village's uniqueness had been confirmed, then the various theories about Shimo Village should also have a basis.
He believed that the uniqueness of these two villages must have its own uniqueness.
On the other hand, after moving in 100 people, Yang Rui could accept that the popularity and public security would drop by 10 points. After Shimo Village submitted to Yang Rui, the popularity and public security had increased to 88 and 85 respectively, and the population was more than 1,300 people. According to this calculation, if Shimo Village continued to move to the upper limit of 2,000 people, the popularity and public security would only drop by 20 to 30 points. It would not drop to 0.
With his previous gaming experience, Yang Rui knew that if the popularity and public security were not 0, even if it only dropped by 20 to 30 points, as long as there was a city or a closed area with checkpoints, the Liegeman would not be lost. It was just that the efficiency of production would be affected.
Both the mountain village and Shimo Village had more than two checkpoints, and they were surrounded by mountains. This was a potential setting. Hence, Yang Rui was not worried about the villagers escaping.
This was also the reason why Shimo Village had been oppressed by the Gourd Valley bandits for a long time without any villagers escaping. They could not escape from a closed area.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Rui made up his mind to immigrate. Even if the production of Mo Village would be affected, as long as there was enough labor force, the loss would be quickly compensated for when the people and public security were slightly restored.
However, Yang Rui did not plan to move all 2,000 people in Shimo Village at once. After a period of time, the decline in popularity and public security would be smaller.
Yang Rui made a rough calculation. According to the growth rate of the village, which was increasing by more than 30 people every day, the population of the two advanced villages would reach the saturation point of 2000 in about 20 days, even if they continued to migrate to Ink Village!
At that time, if Yang Rui wanted to maintain the lead in terms of population and solve the population bottleneck problem, the only way was to upgrade the village to a town to increase the upper limit of the population.
Yang Rui still had time to think about the problem of upgrading the town, so he put it aside. It was night time. Due to the game's settings, it was very difficult to farm monsters at night. Most players would either go offline to rest or do business in the system city.
Yang Rui continued to lead the soldiers at the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley and continued to farm the bandit camp on the mountain peak at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley.
Due to the difficult terrain, this bandit camp was not easy to farm during the day. However, due to the marking of the bonfire at night, it became Yang Rui's playground for farming monsters.
Especially after the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley was built, the problem of the soldiers' stamina recovery had been solved. Almost every night, Yang Rui would bring his soldiers to the camp. Moreover, Yang Rui now had enough Third Grade soldiers. Taking down a group of ten bandits was no longer a problem.
