If he wanted to understand the usage of the Silver Wish Tower, Ouyang Shuo had to personally test it out.
Walking into the Silver Wish Tower, there was a console in the middle of the hall on the first floor, just like the recruitment hall. Ouyang Shuo walked over and clicked on it, the system notification sounded in his ears.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Who Has No Clothes for unlocking the Silver Wish Tower. The first time you unlocked the tower, you will automatically receive a chance to make a wish, do you wish to make a wish?"
"Yes!"
"System notification: Please select the type of wish!"
In an instant, five options appeared on the console.
The first option's icon was the rice on the first floor, which represented the agriculture type wish. The following options were clearly defined. The second floor's scale represented the business type wish, the third floor's copper coins represented the culture type wish, the fourth floor's silver represented the technology type wish, and the top floor's gold ingots represented the other types.
The higher the level, the harder the wish was, and the more gold it required.
Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment and chose the simplest agriculture type wish.
"System notification: Wish type confirmed, please select wish mode. Friendly reminder: There are two types of wish mode, one is a custom wish, the other is a random wish. "
A custom wish was easy to understand, it was to directly state the wish you wanted to fulfill. The prerequisite was that it had to match the current type, and at the same time, it did not exceed the limit of 100,000 gold, otherwise it would be ineffective.
For example, Ouyang Shuo chose the agriculture type wish, he could pray for the next year's climate, the growth of crops, the fertility of the land, and other related contents.
The advantage of a custom wish was that it had a strong focus. The disadvantage was that because he could not control the difficulty of the wish, it was very likely to exceed the limit of 100,000 gold, and he would waste a chance to make a wish.
After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Shuo decided to first test out the random wish.
The advantage of random wishes was that all wishes had a 100% chance of being fulfilled.
"Select random wish!"
"System notification: Wish mode confirmed, wishing officially begins!"
Just as he finished speaking, Ouyang Shuo saw the familiar compass.
On the virtual compass, there were 24 wishes. Each wish was labeled with a corresponding amount, ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 gold coins.
Among them, the 10,000 gold wish was naturally the simplest. Ouyang Shuo took a look, there were wishes to increase the fertility of the soil by 5, or increase the rainfall by 8.
Above that, there were other benefits such as increasing the output of crops by 5, increasing the amount of sunlight in the territory by 10, increasing the resistance of crops to pests by 10, reducing the difficulty of farming by 10, and so on.
In addition, each category had different percentages, which corresponded to different amounts.
Ouyang Shuo made a rough calculation. No matter which wish he fulfilled, the economic benefits of the following year would be far greater than the gold coins he spent on the wish.
In other words, unless the wish failed, it was a guaranteed profit. The more gold coins spent on praying, the greater the return.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo regretted choosing the simplest agriculture wish.
All the wishes had one thing in common, and that was that the time limit of the wish was only one year. After a year, the blessing from wishes would completely disappear.
Such a setting was reasonable. Otherwise, it would be too heaven-defying.
As the prayer began, the compass began to slowly spin.
As Ouyang Shuo observed, the needle on the compass was spinning slower and slower, and it seemed like it was about to stop. Ouyang Shuo had no control over the stop of the needle, otherwise it wouldn't be called a random wish.
There were a total of three wishes on the position the needle stopped at. In order, [Increase the fertility of the soil by 5] cost 10,000 gold coins, [Increase the resistance of crops to pests by 15] cost 30,000 gold coins, and [Increase the output of crops by 15] cost 100,000 gold coins.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo's heart was in his throat.
Even a fool would know that the third wish was the most valuable. With just 100,000 gold coins, it could increase the output of crops in the territory by 15.
Even with the current scale of agriculture in the territory, it could at least generate 500,000 gold coins in income.
One must know that the so-called crops did not only refer to rice, but also cotton, peanuts, rapeseed, potatoes, mulberry trees, and so on.
With the scale of agriculture in the territory of seven counties, it was easy to imagine that an increase of output by 15 would be a huge number.
From this, it was not difficult to understand why the characteristics of the territory became more and more useful in the later stages.
In the blink of an eye, the needle had already passed the first wish and was moving on the second wish grid. But looking at the momentum of the needle, it was almost exhausted, and was about to stop at the second grid.
"Just a little more, just a little more!"
Ouyang Shuo could not help but mutter to himself, as if he was encouraging the needle.
The slowly moving needle, as if it had gone through a century, still turned into an old man. Although it was difficult for him to move, it was still moving forward bit by bit.
It looked like it was about to completely pass the second grid, and was only a short distance away from the third grid.
Ouyang Shuo's heart was in his throat once again.
"Just a little more, just a little more!"
Unfortunately, the needle seemed to have exhausted all of its momentum, and could not move any further. Finally, the needle actually stopped at the junction of the second and third grid.
Ouyang Shuo could not help but be dumbfounded when he saw this.
"How do I determine this?"
Luckily, the system quickly gave him an answer.
"System notification: Congratulations player Not Have Clothes, you have drawn the agriculture-type wish [Increase the resistance of crops to pests in the territory by 15], 30,000 gold coins will be automatically deducted. Friendly reminder: The duration of this wish is from Gaia year 3, 1st January, to Gaia year 3, 30th December. "
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, his face could not help but turn black.
"Holy sh * t!"
Ouyang Shuo could not help but ridicule his [Source of Fortune] attribute once again. Even with the blessing of the entire territory, it was still so lousy.
If it were Bing'er, Ouyang Shuo was a hundred percent sure that the system would determine that the third wish was effective, and not the second.
His face was so black, he was really unlucky no matter where he went.
Ouyang Shuo covered his face and let out a sigh.
The next time he wanted to make a wish, he had to bring Bing'er, the "super invincible lucky star".
Thankfully, it was already the middle of December. According to the time pattern of the hidden building, it would automatically reset to zero on the 1st of January.
That was to say, in another half a month, Ouyang Shuo would be able to make a second wish, and not have to wait for another half a year.
And by then, Ouyang Shuo would be able to enter the recruitment hall again to recruit historical figures. He did not know which hero he would be able to recruit this year.
