Ouyang Shuo walked to Shi Wansui's room and saw that he was reading a military book, so he didn't disturb him. However, due to his general's intuition, Shi Wansui quickly realized that someone was watching him.
He turned around and saw Ouyang Shuo standing at the door. He hurriedly got up and bowed. "Your Highness!" Then he asked doubtfully, "Your Highness is here. Why don't you come in? I'm afraid. "
Ouyang Shuo laughed. "I can't bear to disturb you after seeing how hardworking you are."
Shi Wansui smiled foolishly and scratched his head. "I've let Your Highness see me make a fool of myself. I don't have any hobbies other than reading military books in my spare time. Your Highness, do you have any instructions for me? "
"I have something to ask you, General. When you returned yesterday, you said that you encountered a herd of wild goats. I don't know how many there were. Is there a way to find them again? "Ouyang Shuo asked with a smile.
Shi Wansui frowned and thought for a while. He said slowly, "I remember that there were about 50 goats. Two of them were bitten to death on the spot and the rest fled in all directions. Your Highness, what do you mean? "
"It's like this. There are almost no livestock in the territory and meat is extremely scarce. Yesterday, I heard you mention wild goats. I'm wondering if I can capture them and bring them back to the territory to domesticate. "
Shi Wansui was slightly stunned. "Your Highness is indeed far-sighted. I'm impressed. Since Your Highness places such importance on it, I'll make another trip to see if I can follow their footprints and find them again. "
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, General. I'll wait for your good news."
After sending Shi Wansui off, Ouyang Shuo began to wander around the village to check on the progress of construction. During breaks, he sat on the ground and chatted with the villagers while listening to them talk about their daily lives.
Through this method, the villagers gradually acknowledged this lord who was meticulous in his work and approachable in his daily life. When they saw him, they would take the initiative to greet him. Ouyang Shuo wasn't arrogant and responded with a smile.
The fence was completed before lunch. A simple wooden gate tower was erected at the main gate of the village. On the gate tower, the words "Shanhai Village" were engraved, announcing that Shanhai Village had officially taken root in the wilderness.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Shi Wansui came back early with good news and bad news. The good news was that they encountered a roving bandit on horseback. After killing him, they obtained a warhorse and an iron spear. The bad news was that the group of wild goats had vanished without a trace, and it caused Ouyang Shuo to feel a great sense of loss.
Taking the warhorse and spear from Shi Wansui, Ouyang Shuo inspected their Attributes.
[Name]: Inferior Warhorse (Bronze)
[Weight]: 30 kg
[Speed]: 20 kilometers per day
[Consumption]: 3 units of rations/day
[Evaluation]: This is a warhorse that can barely be ridden, but definitely cannot be used on the battlefield.
[Name]: Inferior Iron Spear (Bronze)
[Hardness]: 5
[Toughness]: 3
[Evaluation]: A defective iron spear, please use it with caution.
At this stage of the game, Bronze Equipment was still a rarity. Yet, Ouyang Shuo had obtained two pieces in one go. If other players were to find out about this, they would be envious.
This was the advantage of Lord-class players. The higher the risk, the higher the reward. A roving bandit that could ride a horse was at least Level 20. In the eyes of other players, these high-level monsters were nothing in front of Shi Wansui, an Emperor-class general.
With the warhorse and iron spear, Ouyang Shuo could also go out and patrol the territory. He no longer had to stay in the village all day. The Basic Horsemanship and Basic Marksmanship that he had learned before could also be put to good use.
In the evening, the residential courtyard and the canteen were completed. After a banquet was held in the newly completed canteen, Ouyang Shuo began to redistribute everyone's accommodation.
In the middle of the main hall of the Lord's Mansion was the living room, which was used to receive guests and discuss matters. There were two rooms on the left and right of the living room. The one on the east was the Village Chief's office, and the one on the west was his bedroom.
There were two rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard. Shi Wansui lived in the innermost room of the eastern wing. Zhao Dexian and the others lived in the outer room.
Last night, the ten of them made a bed on the floor and barely managed to settle down.
After the residential courtyard was completed, it could accommodate 20 people. Tonight, most of the ten people would move out, leaving only Zhao Dexian and Zhao Youfang, who had positions. The west wing was empty, so Ouyang Shuo arranged for Cui Yingyou to live in the innermost room, while Doctor Song and the second child lived in the outer room.
In the next three days, the territory began to undergo large-scale construction. The village-level toilet, primary blacksmith shop, primary quarry, and primary grocery store were all built. In addition, four new residential courtyards were added.
The primary lumberyard and primary quarry were also put into operation. Ten farmers were arranged to produce 100 units of wood and 50 units of stone every day.
It was unknown if the good luck from the past two days was used up, but among the 45 refugees that spawned in these three days, there were only three special talents.
The primary stonemason, Zheng Shanpao, was a middle-aged man. He was appointed by Ouyang Shuo to be the director of the primary quarry. The peddler, Li Fugui, was a fat old man. He was in charge of the primary grocery store.
The biggest surprise was a senior shipwright. He was also the second senior talent that appeared in the territory. The shipwright was called Zheng Dahai. He was in his thirties, had dark skin, and looked short and capable.
Early in the morning, Ouyang Shuo woke up on time as usual. When he opened the door, he saw a lively scene in the courtyard. Shi Wansui was still practicing his spear technique with vigor and vigor. For a general like him, practicing martial arts had long been integrated into his life. If he didn't practice for a day, he would feel itchy all over.
Doctor Song was on the other side of the courtyard, practicing the Five Animals Frolics. His movements were like floating clouds and flowing water. In the corner of the courtyard, Second Child was playing with Hei Ya and feeding the little guy.
Ever since he got the inferior iron spear three days ago, he also joined the ranks of practicing martial arts in the morning. With the guidance of a spear master like Shi Wansui, he naturally didn't have to take many detours.
As the saying goes, a spear is the most profound and difficult to learn among all the military weapons. To practice a spear, one must first start with the large spear. The so-called large spear was to hold the spear horizontally with one hand and look at the spear tip for three to five hours every day until he could accurately feel the changes brought about by a small bug falling on the spear.
The reason why Ouyang Shuo practiced this way was related to the skill setting in the game.
In Earth ON1E, the use of skills was divided into the system guidance mode and the free mode. There was no need to talk about the system guidance mode. After learning the skill book, there was no need to care about it. When fighting monsters, the system would automatically guide the player to use the skill.
The free mode was an original creation of Earth ON1E. After the player learned the skill, the content of the book would be completely imprinted in their mind. At this time, the player would follow the moves and training tips in their mind and practice diligently. It was just like practicing martial arts in real life.
When the player practiced in-game, the system would use the player's mental connection to transmit the memory of the practice to the real body. This kind of practice, through repeated strengthening, would become the body's instinct. In this way, the player would be able to awaken the body's memory with a little practice in real life, allowing them to use the martial arts in the game in the real world.
Of course, there was a prerequisite to choosing the free mode. That was, the player could only choose the free mode by learning a specific skill book. The so-called specific skill book was a cultivation technique that Gaia had derived from real martial arts manuals in real life.
The ancient martial arts families in real life could obtain the qualifications to participate in the closed beta and a custom-made game capsule by contributing martial arts manuals. More importantly, with Gaia's extremely powerful deduction and calculation ability, with the existing martial arts manuals as a foundation, combined with the results of modern human medical research, a more complete and scientific martial arts manual could be derived.
Among these manuals, the cultivation of inner strength and vital energy was the most valuable. Skills like marksmanship were ultimately a kind of physical memory. To truly master it, one would need to practice repeatedly in real life.
Cultivating inner strength was completely different. It was to guide the body to produce inner strength through the mind, then control the vital energy to circulate in the meridians.
Therefore, players could cultivate inner strength in the game. In the game capsule in real life, the smart system would stimulate the body to produce inner strength through electric current, while the nutrient delivery system would precisely deliver the energy needed for cultivation. It was even more efficient than directly practicing in real life, perfectly combining ancient martial arts and modern technology.
In fact, this was also a part of the interstellar migration plan codenamed Hope. After all, no one knew what kind of state Planet Hope was in at the moment. Whether it was a primitive planet, or whether it had evolved into an intelligent race, or even a civilization was born, everything was unknown. Under such circumstances, strengthening the physical fitness of the people was a good choice no matter how one looked at it.
These more scientific martial arts manuals were placed in various corners of the game by Gaia, allowing players to dig through them. Players in the early stages were unable to distinguish the authenticity of these manuals.
Only a year later, when all humans had logged into the game, would Gaia announce the method to distinguish the authenticity. The method was very simple. All the manuals that had the word "sutra" or "canon" at the end were real, while all the manuals that had the word "technique" or "technique" at the end were fake. There was only one exception, and that was if all the basic skills were real. For example, the Basic Horsemanship and Basic Spear Arts that Ouyang Shuo had learned.
In his previous life, the ancient martial arts family represented by one of the "Handan Six Hegemons", Feng Qingyang, relied on his martial arts foundation in real life. He did not need the method provided by Gaia to quickly determine the authenticity of the manuals.
In a year's time, he had secretly hoarded a large number of authentic manuals. After Gaia announced the truth, he had made a killing. In this life, Ouyang Shuo naturally would not let them monopolize all the glory.
Back to the front. Ouyang Shuo began practicing the great spear stance according to the key points in "Basic Spear Arts". He was prepared to continue practicing this way. Before finding a good genuine Spear Art manual, he wouldn't practice other Spear Arts.
As a reincarnated person, he naturally wanted to practice the best. Because of this pride, Ouyang Shuo did not even learn the basic internal strength techniques. In the China server, there was a set of the highest internal strength techniques. It had been split into three manuals by Gaia. In the five years of his previous life, only the first two had appeared, and they were obtained by different players.
In this life, Ouyang Shuo's goal was to gather all three manuals and combine them into the strongest internal strength technique in history. It would be his strongest trump card.
After practicing the great spear stance for an entire hour, Ouyang Shuo ended his morning practice. Carrying his spear, he walked towards the meeting hall. Every morning at 9 am, the main management personnel of the territory had to attend the meeting hall. This was a rule he had set the day before.
At this stage, there were only five people qualified to attend the meeting. They were General Shi Wansui, Logistics Manager Cui Yingyou, Construction Team Leader Zhao Dexian, Junior Sawmill Manager Zhao Youfang, and Junior Quarry Manager Zheng Shanpao.
In addition, according to the different topics of discussion, the relevant personnel would be invited to attend the meeting. For example, today's topic of discussion was related to the construction of the pier. Ouyang Shuo had invited Senior Shipwright Zheng Dahai to attend the meeting yesterday.
