Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Compared with other types of initial territories, islands have a characteristic that is not a special feature, that is, balanced resources.

Other types of territories have relatively simple resources. For example, the main resource of mountains is stone, and the main resource of forests is wood. There are few or no other resources.

Islands are different. The distribution of resources is very balanced. There are both wood and stone. You can also fish by the sea. If you are lucky, you can even find mineral deposits.

Of course, this balance also has disadvantages, that is, the number of resources is small, and it is difficult to mine rare resources. Whether it is good or bad depends on how the lord develops.

The initial territory is limited in size, only two or three square kilometers, and Xu Yang quickly figured out the situation.

With the town hall as the center, four types of initial resources and four types of guarding monsters are scattered in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northeast.

There is a small forest in the east, where trees can be cut down. There is a group of half-dressed and soulless demonized savages in it.

There is a gap in the west, which leads directly to the coastal beach. You can fish offshore and build the necessary docks and docks for the island, but there are a group of demonized fishermen who are similar to demonized savages!

There is a hill in the north, where stone can be mined and it is also a natural defense barrier. However, there is a cave in the middle, which should hide demonized beasts such as tigers and brown bears.

There is a small valley in the south, with a lot of dark red iron ore scattered in the valley. It is actually an open-air iron mine, but there is also a cave in the iron mine, and no one knows what is hidden inside.

Wood, food, stone, iron ore!

Which of the four resources should be mined first?

The most valuable iron ore?

There is no telling what kind of monsters are hidden in the iron mine cave. Although he is skilled and bold, there is no need to take risks. It is better to proceed step by step and squeeze the soft persimmon first. The demonized savages in the east woods are a good choice.

Xu Yang carried a long sword and did not even wear the fur suit with 5 points of protection. He wore the college uniform with 1 point of protection and came to the east woods alone.

As soon as he arrived in the woods, he saw a demonized savage.

As a "wild monster", this demonized savage looks even more dull than the previous peasant. Although he is strong, he is soulless and like a walking corpse, wandering back and forth in the woods with a wooden stick.

Xu Yang has done homework in this regard. No matter whether it is a soldier or a wild monster, as long as the level is not high, the intelligence must not be high. These initial wild monsters are even more so. They only have the most basic fighting instincts. Unlike the basic peasants in the Tower of Babel, they will reply after receiving an order: "Okay, sir!"

Looking at the demonized savage outside the woods, Xu Yang directly kicked a stone at his feet.

"Pah!"

With a light sound, the stone hit, the savage looked back blankly, and then he rushed towards Xu Yang with a wooden stick in a rage.

Xu Yang did not rush in. He waited for him to rush out of the woods before he stepped forward and stabbed with his long sword.

Although the physical strength attribute is only a pitiful five points, it can be used in high and low ways. The combination of body movement, footwork and sword skills is unleashed. The cold light of the sword is not only like a rain of pear blossoms, but also like cold stars. When it falls on the body of the savage, black blood will flow. In a blink of an eye, the sword will kill the throat and end the battle.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the savage fell to the ground.

Xu Yang held up the long sword and glanced at the battle record.

"Attack the vital point, you cause 20 points of damage to the demonized savage!"

"Attack the vital point, you cause 30 points of damage to the demonized savage!"

"You killed the demonized savage (normal)!"

"You get 50 experience points!"

Looking at the damage data in the battle record, Xu Yang opened his attribute panel again.

Name: Xu Yang

Race: Human

Level: 1 (First-level Lord)

Physical Strength: 5

Intelligence: 5

Charm: 5

Reputation: 0

Basic Skills: First-level Physical Fitness LV1, First-level Power Attack LV1, First-level Strong Bow LV1, First-level Weapon Mastery LV1, First-level Riding LV1, First-level Logistics LV1, First-level Commander LV1.

Weapon Skills: One-handed Weapons (Proficient), Bow Weapons (Proficient), Pole Weapons (Proficient)

…

Attribute panel, each attribute is self-explanatory.

Physical Strength is the performance of physique and strength, affecting physical attack and defense and related effects.

Intelligence is the performance of mental strength, affecting mental attack and defense and related skills, and has no direct relationship with IQ, otherwise he who has recovered his memory would have thousands or tens of thousands of points.

Charm, appearance, temperament and eloquence, comprehensive performance in many aspects, affecting the commander value and the effect of related skills, is the most important attribute of the lord.

The remaining basic skills and weapon skills are not difficult to understand, either increase or decrease damage, or play an auxiliary role.

Xu Yang's stats are standard and common, and are at the level of normal people. There is nothing to say.

The key is...

With five points of physical strength, using a long sword with six points of stabbing damage, plus the bonus of strengthening, strong attack, and weapon proficiency, attacking the demonized savage without any equipment protection, if it hits the vital point, it can only cause 20 to 30 points of damage.

The level of the "strengthening" skill of this demonized savage must be not low, which reduces the damage received.

This is the disadvantage of the "data world"!

If it were in the normal world, Xu Yang could completely kill this savage with one sword.

But in this world where the rules have changed, the effect of skills and the power of data have reduced a lot of damage for him, and he must make up a few more swords to complete the kill.

This is just a low-level monster. If it is a high-level monster, it may not even be able to break the defense, and it will be useless to stand there and let you chop it.

This cannot be compensated by skills, and you can only improve your own attack power.

How to improve?

Add points!

Attribute points, skill points!

And weapons and equipment, all of these must keep up, otherwise even if Xu Yang's swordsmanship is superb, he will be powerless in the face of high-level monsters with overwhelming numbers.

After thinking about it, Xu Yang looked down and found that the body of the demonized savage had turned into light and left, leaving only a trophy waiting to be picked up.

Wooden stick

Equipment level: first level

Equipment attribute: 3 blunt

Equipment introduction: ordinary wooden stick.

Undoubtedly garbage!

Even so, Xu Yang still put it in his backpack.

Mosquito legs are also meat, so don't be too ambitious at the beginning stage.

After collecting the spoils and continuing to look for the target, Xu Yang prepared to clean up all the demonized savages in the woods and complete a vigorous "solo swiping!"

In this world where the rules have been completely changed, "killing monsters and upgrading" is the only way to gain power, but the experience of monsters is so much, and the effect of sharing it with one person and ten people is very different.

Therefore, among the lower-level lords, "solo swiping" is a very popular tactic, which can quickly gain experience, improve skill levels, and greatly improve the quality of spoils. It can be said that there are many benefits.

The only bad thing is that the risk is too high. The faster you rise, the faster you die. Every year, many new lords die in solo swiping.

Even so, there are still many lords who are eager to do it. After all, they are at the bottom and have little capital. Fighting hard is the only hope for making a fortune. If they don't fight now, they may not even fight in the future.

This went on for half a day.

"Roar!!!"

With a sad roar, the body fell to the ground.

"You killed a demonized savage (elite)"

"You get 300 experience points!"

"You eliminated a demonized savage unit and got a special loot reward - Arrow Tower!"

"You eliminated a demonized savage unit and got 2,000 extra experience points and 10 reputation points!"

"Your character level is upgraded to level 4, and you get 1 attribute point and 1 skill point!"

"..."

A battle record was passed by, and Xu Yang didn't say a word, silently picking up the loot that the last savage exploded.

Thorn Club

Equipment level: Level 1 (Excellent)

Equipment attributes: 8 thorns.

Equipment introduction: A large wooden club with thorns, which requires a certain amount of strength to swing.

"Elite savage?"

"Excellent weapon?"

"Interesting!"

Xu Yang smiled and looked at the space package, only to see a card flashing in the full bag of wooden sticks.

Arrow Tower

Building level: Level 1 (Ordinary)

Building civilization: None

Building skills: Shooting (automatically firing arrows to attack the enemy, which requires a certain amount of resources. Insufficient resources will directly deduct Tongtian coins)

Building skills: Garrisoning (archers can be stationed to provide certain protection and increase the range and power of the archers)

Building introduction: Ordinary defensive buildings that can effectively protect your territory.

…

As mentioned before, solo play has great benefits. Not only can you gain a lot of experience, but you can also get high-quality loot and even special rewards. This thorn stick and arrow tower card are examples.

Xu Yang accepted the thorn stick with satisfaction, and then all the attribute points and skill points obtained from the upgrade were added to "physical strength" and "strike".

Needless to say, physical strength is a necessary attribute for solo play, unless you have special skills and are a noble "magician", otherwise physical strength is a must-have attribute for solo play, which can improve attack, endurance and precious survivability.

There is no need to say much about the strong attack. Although the damage reduction effect of "strengthening the body" is of great significance, Xu Yang follows the "cloth swordsman" school. He even didn't wear the fur suit with 5 protection because it was too heavy. Naturally, he would not waste skill points on strengthening the body. The "strong attack" that increases damage is the king.

The physical strength is increased to 8 points, and the strong attack is also increased to LV4. Counting the thorn stick with 8 points of stab damage just obtained, the combat power has increased visibly.

But Xu Yang did not continue to kill, but chose to return to the town hall.

Back to the town hall, four farmers were still cutting down the surrounding trees and had cleared a large space.

According to the normal development, at this time, houses and barracks should be built, and soldiers should be trained to strengthen the defense of the territory.

But Xu Yang did not choose this. He only asked four farmers to build a house each, and did not even look at the barracks. Then he went to the lord's hall and chose to teleport back.

"Enter the Tower of Babel!"

"Please choose the area to enter!"

"Thirteen major districts, first floor district, ninth campus!"

"Dear Lord Xu Yang, welcome to the Tower of Babel, please remember the following instructions..."

A flash of white light, the space changed, Xu Yang, who was just in the town hall, came to a magnificent and strange space in a blink of an eye.

The Tower of Babel, the pillar of the world, the holy land of the lord, the core of everything.

After years of development, the system structure of the Tower of Babel has developed quite maturely, like a super civilized country, with clear divisions in the tower, and all kinds of infrastructure are available.

Among them, there are "regions" divided by ethnic groups, "tower layers" divided by levels, and "regions" divided by organizations.

As a first-level lord of the human race, Xu Yang can only move in the first-level area of ​​the thirteen major regions of the human race. Because he was born in the Ninth Middle School of Tongtian College, he is eligible to enter the "campus" established by the Ninth Middle School in the Tongtian Tower.

Of course, if you want to go to other areas, you can also go there. As long as it is not a private area of ​​some organizations, as a first-level lord, you can freely enter and exit all places in the first-level area.

However, compared with other areas, the Ninth Campus has a little welfare subsidy for its students, so the lords who came from the Ninth Middle School generally prefer to move in the campus.

This activity includes but is not limited to resource trading, equipment trading, team building, and territory alliances. In short, if the lord wants to develop, it is not enough to stay in the territory. You must communicate with other lords.

In addition, the lord must complete the Tongtian Tower's recruitment tasks regularly and quantitatively. This is an unavoidable responsibility and a sword hanging over the heads of all lords, forcing them to make progress. After all, every time they are recruited, many weak lords die, such as Xu Yang's parents in this life.

"Welcome to the Ninth Campus!"

Xu Yang had just come out of the teleportation array when he saw a young man wearing the uniform of the Ninth Middle School approaching with a smile.

"I am the welcome member of the Ninth Campus Student Union. Classmate, do you need me to introduce you to the various facilities and campus benefits of our Ninth Campus?"

"Thank you, senior. I am already familiar with these in the college. No need to bother."

Xu Yang didn't want to waste time and chose to refuse.

"Is that so!"

The young man didn't care and smiled as usual: "Then you can explore it yourself. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. At the same time, you are welcome to join our student union. Our Ninth Middle School Student Union has a long history and has an excellent personnel system and training tradition. For new students with potential..."

After a round of meaningless nonsense, Xu Yang finally got rid of this enthusiastic student union member.

There are also various forces and organizations among the lords, ranging from tribes to countries. In general, they tend to survive in groups. After all, there is strength in numbers. A lone ranger can never beat a large organization.

Therefore, it is normal for the Ninth Campus to have a student union. In addition to the student union, there are also major clubs and the Ninth Campus itself. They are all organizations and forces, nested together like nesting dolls, with intricate relationships between them, perfectly presenting the appearance of a society of human relationships.

But these have nothing to do with Xu Yang. He is a new lord who was born an orphan, and he has no special talents or adventures. It is impossible for him to join these forces. Even if he joins, he can only be a cannon fodder. Don't even think about any resource tilt or club subsidies.

Therefore, Xu Yang didn't waste time arguing with these people at all, and went directly to the trading market of the Ninth Campus.

The trading market, as the name suggests, is the place where war lords trade. There are large shops opened by the Ninth Campus and major forces, as well as stalls where individual lords sell alone.

Whether it is a shop or a stall, the things sold are varied, from various resources to weapons and equipment, from arms buildings to hero contracts, and all kinds of strange special items and junk. In short, there is everything, which can meet the development needs of war lords to a great extent.

Xu Yang's purpose of coming here was very simple, which was to empty his backpack, sell the spoils obtained from soloing the savages, and by the way, find a few suitable weapons to improve the efficiency of soloing.
