First Lord of Earth

"Has the territory upgrade been completed?"

Xia Tian also understood the main changes brought about by the upgrade.

First of all, as a lord, he can now provide some people with the effect of "luck luck" by "consuming luck".

This effect will be reflected in the cultivation speed, learning efficiency, enlightenment probability, etc., but it is limited to the territory!

"It's a bit like a weakened version of the 'Child of the Plane' talent, but it can be used as a reward by the lord."

Xia Tian thought.

The rewards he could give to the residents of the territory before were nothing more than "rare objects, weapons, and gifts of uniforms." The better ones could be rewarded with attics on the "Golden Platform."

However, these rewards are considered "one-time", and some of them are not very compatible with the recipients. However, "luck and luck" are ongoing rewards, which are more suitable for everyone!

"In this case, the award of the 'Commander' will also have a more substantial meaning!"

Secondly, the accumulation time of "reward treasure chests" for territory development will be changed from one day to three days, which means that the possibility of obtaining "transcendence level treasure chests" will be further increased.

"This is not bad. For a territory without trading channels, at least we can obtain 'spiritual stones' to help high-level people practice!"

Xia Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Furthermore, after the territory is upgraded to a "village", the upper limit of the population it can shelter will reach 10,000, and the maximum coverage area will reach 100 square kilometers, which is a hundred times larger than before!

"That's about ten miles in radius?"

Although it doesn't sound very big, considering that the territory does not have to be constructed in a square or circular shape, it is actually enough to occupy a lot of area.

At least, if Xia Tian wants to do it, it will be enough to include the "Yin Gathering Land" next to the territory and part of the "Black and White Mountains" into the territory!

But these are actually just basic "rewards" that every lord who upgrades his territory to a "village" can get.

For Xia Tian, ​​the most important thing is the "special rewards" given by the Will of the Earth based on the development of their respective territories at this stage.

[Your territory currently has four golden heroes (including two with top potential, one with excellent potential, and one with medium potential), and four silver heroes... Your territory has successfully conquered a mutant with super potential... You The territory successfully defeated many powerful foreign races...]

[Because your territory performed extremely well during the promotion process, it received a reward from the will of the earth: a rare object building (gold quality)! 】

[Based on the conditions of the territory, three suitable golden rare objects have been selected for you. Please choose one from them. 】

Just like last time, this time after the territory was upgraded, three translucent, reduced miniature architectural light groups appeared again in Xia Tian's field of vision!

It is still the "choose one from three" that he is very familiar with.

Xia Tian looked over one by one.

In the first ball of light, there seemed to be a closed space, with a gray field inside and spiritual energy floating around it.

【Hidden Field (Gold)】

[Type] Strange objects·Architecture

[Features] Hiding (obtaining a spiritual field hidden in the secret realm), reclamation (expending luck to cultivate the spiritual field in the secret realm and obtaining more fields)

[Explanation] The spiritual field initially has a plant growth bonus of up to ten times, which will be further increased as the rules of heaven and earth are unlocked.

[Remarks] Since ancient times, there have been a large number of hidden fields in all major feudal dynasties, so that the fields of the rich are connected to each other, and the poor have no place to stand!

"Good guy, farming, this is the traditional skill of the Chinese people..."

Xia Tian's eyes lit up.

It is worthy of being a golden wonder building. This first option alone gave him the urge to choose.

You must know that what is cultivated is a "spiritual field", which can accelerate the growth of plants and plant "spiritual grains and spiritual rice" of various levels of transcendence.

Although there is currently a "Bone Field" in his territory, the effectiveness of the "Bone Field" mainly comes from the fertilizer produced after the Yin Qi transforms into bones in the "Yin Gathering Place" next to it. Once the Yin Qi or bones are consumed.

Without fertilizer, the "bone field" would actually cease to exist!

The most important thing is that the fields are easily damaged without protection. In the battle just now, the flood caused by the fishmen undoubtedly destroyed all the "bone fields" that were previously cultivated in the territory.

The "Hidden Field" is in a secret realm.

It will not be affected by the battle, so it can be said that it is most suitable for lords who want to farm and develop in peace of mind!

"Don't rush to conclusions. Let's take a look at the other two things first."

Xia Tian turned his eyes to look at the second building, only to find that it was a miniature artificial river.

【Canal (gold)】

[Characteristics] River digging (can quickly build rivers within the territory), transportation (consumes the territory's air luck, can travel to and from surrounding human territories with "rivers" through "canals", and conduct "commerce" with them)

[Explanation] This river was the river until the Sui Dynasty, and it has been connected to the waves for thousands of miles to this day.

[Remarks] Business is also a development path you can choose!

"You can actually go to other people's territory?"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

There is no doubt that this is also an extremely powerful golden building.

After the major lords develop their territories to a certain extent, commerce is definitely a means of rapid development. Once you own this canal, you can "trade" with other territories, and the operating space and development potential are huge!

Moreover, it is not only able to carry out commercial activities, but also can be used to carry out "military" activities if used well.

Just like Zheng He's voyages to the West, the escorts who transported the caravans experienced many battles, and even captured the enemy's monarch more than once and brought them back to the Ming Dynasty!

Although the will of the earth should not encourage human leaders to "attack" each other, if it falls into the hands of some "ambitious" lords, war can indeed open the way for business.

"The first two buildings are so amazing, so the third one is definitely not bad either!"

Xia Tian couldn't help but look at the third building with expectation.

Its shape is that of thousands of pottery figurines arranged neatly in a large pit. Some hold long swords in their hands, some hold crossbows and aim and shoot, and some pottery figurines are driving chariots!

[Terracotta Warriors and Horses Barracks (Gold)]

[Characteristics] Recruiting figurines (summons an initial one thousand terracotta warriors with "military upgrade" characteristics), summoning souls (consuming luck to gather the surrounding humans, or the remnants of dead territorial residents, with their consent) Integrate into the terracotta warriors and horses to increase their spirituality and obtain the characteristic of "military knighthood")

[Explanation] The activity range of the terracotta warriors and horses is within the territory, and they cannot leave the territory. The terracotta warriors and horses that do not have "spirituality" need to return to the camp at certain intervals to "sleep" to replenish their spiritual power.

[Remarks] "Military warfare" is not necessarily a development strategy.

"Hey, there are actually 'Terracotta Warriors' to choose from?"

Xia Tian's eyes suddenly moved.

After all, this is a famous historical relic in Chinese history and is known as one of the "Eight Wonders of the World".

Although the "Grand Canal" is actually also famous, it is not as exciting as the "Terracotta Warriors".

Of course, strictly speaking.

The various "wonder buildings" currently obtained by the lords can only be said to be "simplified copies" given by the will of the earth.

The real quality of a world-famous "wonder" building like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses is actually like that of the "Eternal Emperor", beyond the scope of golden quality!

"Terracotta Warriors and Horses, this seems to be a good choice too."

In terms of attributes, this terracotta warriors and horses are a bit similar to the "Water Turns Hundreds of Plays" he used just now.

However, the maximum limit of the "Water Turns Hundreds of Plays" can only accommodate one hundred, while the initial capacity of the Terracotta Warriors is one thousand.

Moreover, the wooden puppets in "Water Turns Hundreds of Plays" take the initiative to absorb the enemies they kill, while the terracotta warriors and horses accommodate humans who voluntarily let their residual spirits enter them!

In addition, "Water Turns Hundreds of Plays" requires "water flow" to drive, and the "puppet" cannot leave the scope of the "camp", but the terracotta warriors and horses can move.

Although the scope of activities is limited to the territory.

But as long as you choose "Terracotta Warriors and Horses", it is equivalent to the territory directly obtaining a large number of guard soldiers. Then, you can mobilize human soldiers out of the territory for "conquest"!

"The three buildings this time have special connotations."

Looking at the three architectural light balls, Xia Tian pondered slightly.

Fields, canals, and terracotta warriors and horses, these three golden-quality buildings obviously refer to the three development routes of agriculture, commerce, and war!

Once a choice is made, it may greatly affect the development of a territory.

Not to mention other things, after owning a golden building like "Hidden Field", you can completely take the route of "farming development". You only need to do a good job in territorial defense, build high walls, and accumulate grain widely, and you will soon be able to "become the king"!

Needless to say, the "Terracotta Warriors" can not only obtain a thousand "guards", but can even "recruit souls" to make the dead "survive" in another way. When the territory develops to a certain extent in the future, it may not be impossible. Let them truly come to life.

It can be said that it is of great help in improving the "popular sentiment and morale" of the territorial residents.

Good guy, the three golden wonder buildings this time really make people have some difficult choices!

"But let's rule out 'canal' first."

The reason is simple. The canal does not have direct "revenues". It even requires the territory to consume air transportation first, and then obtain benefits through commercial trade.

If he recruits outstanding people like Hu Xueyan, Shen Wansan, Fan Li, and Qiao Zhiyong, maybe Xia Tian will really choose "Canal". After all, any one of these outstanding people can guarantee positive returns from "business".

But the problem is that there are not even blue "business talents" in Xia Tian's territory, not to mention such golden and silver business talents.

Because people recruited from the "craftsmanship" territory are also "craftsmen", "merchants" were not included in the ancient division of "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce".

Hua Rong, Wu Song, Zhao Yun and other outstanding figures are naturally better than the other in fighting, but when it comes to doing business, they may not be as good as him!

Li Ru might be able to do business.

However, as the only "scholar" in the territory, Xia Tian has handed over all the tedious affairs of territory management to this "poisonous man" these days.

As a result, Li Ru doesn't even have much time to practice now, and he has not been able to break through to the mortal world. If Li Ru is really allowed to go into business, all kinds of chores will obviously come back to Xia Tian himself.

"So, we can only give up taking the 'commercial' route for the time being. As for the remaining two..."

Xia Tian's eyes wandered between "hidden fields" and "terracotta warriors and horses".

One is farming, the other is war.

They seem to be almost completely opposite development routes, but in a sense, they can be regarded as complementary to each other.

For a territory, farming and war are inevitable, it’s just a matter of which one takes priority at the moment!

“Obviously, for me now, the priority is still the terracotta warriors and horses representing ‘war’!”

Xia Tian made the final choice.

Although the coalition of scorpions and fishmen was successfully defeated today.

But to a large extent, it came from the assistance of the outstanding Chinese person behind the "Bamboo Slips of Strange Objects", otherwise the losses would definitely not be small.

In the final analysis, this is because the territory's combat effectiveness is insufficient to deter the surrounding alien creatures.

Moreover, being able to defeat the Scorpion Man and the Murloc Man together does not mean that they can defeat the alien races such as the Drow Elves who possess "world fragments".

Therefore, the combat effectiveness provided by the "Terracotta Warriors" is very important to me.

Moreover, the "Terracotta Warriors and Horses Barracks" can be placed underground. It will also be an effective defense in case there is a foreign race like the Scorpion Man who is good at digging tunnels in the future.

"However, there is one thing that seems strange."

"There should clearly be three gold and five silver heroes in my territory. Why did the statistics show four gold and four silver... Could it be that?"

Xia Tian turned his head suddenly and looked at Wu Song lying next to him.
