Vol 8 Chapter 3: Santo

Because of Qingu's operations, Xiaosang Village became a hot spot for a while.
　　Qingu felt that instead of letting one of the players exclusively, she would eventually bring a lot of players to attack herself. It would be better for everyone to play together. The end result is the same for her.
　　 On the contrary, there are more players, and everyone has more opportunities.
　　 There are players who take the initiative to send them to the door. Those with lower levels will be singled out, and those with higher levels will fight in groups.
The level of 　　 Qingu and her friends increased in a rush. In just three days, Qingu increased from 51 to 65.
　　Qingu's minions have also been upgraded to 62, a full set of silver.
　　 This feeling is like riding on a rocket, so fast and so happy.
　　 Of course, if you kill wild monsters outside, you won’t be able to gain such a big gain even after three days of exhaustion.
　　 But because it is a player, the experience gained by the NPC is directly proportional to the experience dropped by the player. Therefore, the higher the player level, one level of experience will be dropped after death. Even if part of the experience is taken away by the system, the rest is very impressive.
　　 In addition to this, there are extremely exciting drop rates, gold coins, materials, and equipment.
　　Qingu is now also learning smart, materials and equipment are directly linked to the mall, and the price is ten times or twenty times higher. Players like to buy it or not.
　　 Now she has also put on a set of level 65 all-gold equipment, and the gold coins in her account are nearly 100,000!
　　 Most of the income from items listed in the mall, no matter how expensive it is, as long as it is lower than the system price, or some are particularly rare and are not automatically refreshed by the system, you will have to buy it even if it is expensive. No way, you can't do what you need without such items.
　　 Of course, Qingu’s sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger, because this task only has ninety-nine rings, which seems to be a lot. In fact, because the map is a very low-level novice village, how many rings are it, simple.
　　 Even if there is competition due to the gradual increase in players, it is possible to complete several or even dozens of tasks a day.
　　Qingu finished another wave of players, the night gradually fell, the players continued to log off, and the whole world finally became quiet.
　　 Only then did he return to his manor. In the twilight, the peasants who worked in the fields gradually returned to their rooms, and the manor was lit up in twos and threes.
　　Qingu summoned the soldiers back, took off their towels, and let them rest and move freely.
　　 Go back to the big house of the manor in the very center, and prepare to upgrade the manor.
As a bright brilliance flashed, the houses in the manor began to change. First, all the houses seemed to be raised one floor, and a circle of houses was added to the outermost periphery. Like the previous ones, every room was "Empty" and "Recruitment" are displayed.
　　 And what makes Qingu most delighted is that this time the level increase has caused the walls of all houses to be edged, turning into hard marble, and the defense strength has been increased from the original 20,000 to 50,000.
　　 The manor’s sphere of influence has doubled again, and it has already been connected to the sphere of influence of Xiaosang Village. If it is raised again, Xiaosang Village will be included.
　　 She will become the main city here, and Xiaosang Village will become her subordinate unit.
　　Qingu cares most about the construction order.
　　 hurriedly went to the center of the manor to check, the black stone under the flagpole was still the same, but it became clearer than before, as if it could be pulled out by reaching out.
　　Qinya did just that, and found that it only looked like the building order was inlaid on it, but it hadn't actually become a prop, so she couldn't take it down.
　　 She checked the property panel of the manor.
　　Name: Enge's Manor (Advanced, upgradeable)
　　【Next level: castle;
　　 Need props: adventurer's heart (obtained from the people who pioneered the map)
　　Requirements: Lower population limit]
　　 House integrity: (defense level 3, defense 50,000, upgradeable)
　　 Warehouse integrity: (defense level 3, defense 50,000, upgradeable)
　　 Warehouse storage:
　　 Land use degree:
　　 Feeding livestock: 0/100
　　Qingu couldn't help but think, since the city building order has not become a real item, then... how do those players get it from themselves?
　　 Could it be said that when you upgrade the manor to the castle, the city building order will become an item, but it has become the target of those players?
　　 Isn't she a fool who makes wedding dresses for players?
　　 But, if you don't get stronger and don't upgrade, she, her manor and soldiers will still be flattened... It's really tangled.
Xiao Z's faint voice came: "...As long as your manor has the signs of building a city, no matter whether it becomes an item or not, when the player completes all the quests and smashes you here, you will naturally get the city building order. And What you have to do is to obtain this city building order before they attack you and use it to make yourself the city lord."
　　Qingu remembered something, "By the way, Little Z, since this defensive game world has been open for decades, there should have been many city building orders before, right?"
　　Qingu has been in this role for more than half a year, because the news is blocked and the range of activities is limited, so that she still doesn't know the overall situation.
　　 Of course, as far as she is in the role, even if she knows the overall situation, it will not help.
Little Z said: "...More than a dozen city building orders have been issued~EbookFREE.me~ The newly opened map will give birth to a city, and the surrounding areas will automatically evolve into small towns or villages, so that The map has become full and balanced. But these places are just like your manor, where a city building order has just appeared. Those players don’t know how to know the news, no matter how cryptic and harsh the conditions for activating the mission ring are, they All can do it miraculously, and before those units have had time to rise to the top, they are captured by players and take away the city building order. Then they build their own city."
"And there is a tacit understanding between these cities, which gradually monopolizes the market, which in turn skews the balance of the entire game world. If they are allowed to monopolize a few more cities, it is likely that everything here will become the world of players, and players will completely override Above the system. At that time..."
　　Qingu was shocked, but he didn't expect things to become so serious.
　　 She knows that for the Tiandao platform, for the system, this level is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
　　 Once there are no strict rules in this place, once the defense collapses, it may become the primary breakthrough point for the invasion of other laws.
The consequences could be disastrous.
　　Qingu felt that the burden on his shoulders became heavy, and a sense of mission and responsibility spontaneously emerged.
　　 At this moment, Xiao Z added: "Don't be so dignified, don't feel that the safety of the entire defense layer is tied to you..."
　　 Uh, this...
