In the Prayer Hall, Su Yu, after browsing the attribute panel of the sacrificial altar, nodded with satisfaction.
He spent 19 million spiritual energy coins to gain this buff that would only last for a day.
It seemed like quite a loss, but actually, it wasn’t at all.
This day-long buff could increase the upgrade speed of his territory to twelve times that of the original pace! If used wisely, it could accelerate the construction of the Mage Tower in his territory by 11 days.
Building a Mage Tower a day earlier would increase the victory rate of Blue Star Humans by a fraction, so this money was well spent!
Besides, spending a mere 19 million spiritual energy coins a day was not a problem for him, as he had enough spiritual energy coins in his backpack to last him for a whole year, so he didn’t worry at all.
In the Prayer Hall, Swift secretly glanced at Su Yu, her expression somewhat complex.
She knew that Su Yu was wealthy, considering that he had funded the development of the entire guild with his personal finances.
But she never imagined that Su Yu would be so wealthy.
“Guild leader, where did you get so many spiritual energy coins from? As far as I know, our ‘Emperor Blood Slays the Sky’ guild has not been able to collect as many coins for this whole period that it has been open” she inquiries, before continuing in a lower voice,”If you gave me that money, I could start flipping items in the auction house with my abilities and make even more money!”
“Flipping items? Now is not the time to flip items.” Su Yu shakes his head, “Let’s head back to the town hall! Now that we have a twelve times buff, there is still much work to be done.”
“Okay.”
Seeing that Su Yu had no interest in manipulating the market, Swift sighed slightly.
Now that the territory buff was activated, thick green mist spouted from the dragon’s head at the Yulon statue.
This green mist quickly spread throughout the territory, dyeing the entire territory with a rich and deep green hue.
The NPCs and players in the territory, after inhaling this green mist, felt an improvement in spirit, full of vigor.
The crops in the field, weeds by the roadside, and trees also began to grow wildly beyond their normal growth cycles under the influence of the green mist.
The once inconspicuous lawn had grown to submerge a player’s knees in just a few minutes, growing at an incredibly rapid rate.
And the players had also discovered some hidden benefits.
In the Prayer Hall, one of the players suddenly exclaimed, “Am I seeing this right?! My experience points are increasing automatically!”
The sound of his voice instantly caught the attention of the surrounding players.
Everyone hurried to look at their experience bars.
Soon enough, they found out it was true! Every two to three seconds, they would automatically gain one experience point.
“It’s true! My experience points are also increasing automatically!” another player exclaimed in astonishment.
“This rate of experience gain is quite fast every 2 seconds gains +1 point, which gives an hour of 1800 experience points. Holy cow, this is like the speed of leveling up!”
“Indeed, it’s almost like my own leveling speed!”
“Is this a hidden effect of the green mist?”
“Leveling up just by being AFK, this is too cool!”
The players were excited, the atmosphere was booming.
At this time, Su Yu, Swift, and Sky Dragon, each riding on their mounts, were heading towards the [Town Hall].
“Swift, now we need to pay attention to three things.” Su Yu ordered.
“Go ahead.”
“The first thing is about refugees.” Su Yu stated, “Now our [Refugee Attractiveness] is twelve times what it was before, you know what this means, right?”
“Of course I do.” Swift’s expression grew serious, “It means we can receive up to 240 refugees every two hours!
The current population of our territory is 343. If ‘Prosperity Level’ and ‘Livability Level’ remain above ninety for the next two hours, our territory can be upgraded to [Large Village], in four hours to [Huge Village], and in eight hours to [Small Town]!”
A three-tier jump in the territory’s level within just one day, indeed, was a great challenge for them!
“Correct, refugees must be settled well. To settle these many refugees all at once, while also ensuring the prosperity and livability level is a huge challenge for us.”
Su Yu continued, “As for the second thing, it is city construction. After the territory is upgraded, the buildings in the territory need to be upgraded too, and moreover, we also need to construct our next wonder.
But this is quite easy to solve, I plan to recruit 1,000 players as temporary workers. As long as the money is right, construction shouldn’t be a problem.”
“It’s your money, do what you want with it.” Swift responded, expressionless.
“As for the third thing, it is monster attacks.” Su Yu held up three fingers.
“Oh right! There are the monster attacks.” Swift’s expression gradually became serious.
When the territory was upgraded from the “Small Village” to “Medium Village”, there had been a monster attack.
But that monster attack was quite simple, and the players had easily crushed the attacking monsters.
But for the subsequent attacks, the difficulty of the monster attacks would surely increase. And due to the short preparation time, it would be difficult for them to train enough NPC soldiers, hence the pressure to defend the city might be quite high.
“Guild leader, we could ask the Elite Team from the ‘Relevant Department’ guild to help with the defenses, we should be able to handle the monster attacks with their power.” Swift suggested.
“That’s what I was thinking too.” Su Yu nods, “Then let’s divide the work, Swift. I will handle the monster attacks and recruit refugees, you will handle the settling the refugees and building construction, how about it?”
“No problem.” Swift instantly responded.
“What about me? What about me?” Seeing that Su Yu didn’t mention her, Sky Dragon raised her hand to ask.
“You can follow me.” Su Yu gently pinched Sky Dragon’s chubby little face, “Let’s go recruit refugees together, we could use your good luck.”
“Alright.” Sky Dragon stuck out her lips.
Just then, once again, Sky Dragon received a “Lightning Warning” from the system. But she was already used to Su Yu’s behavior and simply clicked “Cancel”.
Simultaneously, when Su Yu and the others arrived back at the town hall, at [Crazy Dave]’s plantation on southern side of the village.
Dave was now without a doubt the most popular NPC in the territory.
Not only was he an epic talent, but also the [Sunflowers] and [Pea Shooters], amongst other Demonic Plants that he cultivated, were incredibly adorable and were very much liked by female players.
In Dave’s plantation, apart from the five players that Su Yu assigned to help him, five more female players and two male players were present.
The seven of these players volunteered to be Dave’s assistants. So, although the plantation wasn’t big, it was quite lively.
In the plantation, Dave crouched in the experimental field and watched closely at a crooked [Sunflower].
He took out a pen and paper, recorded on his notebook, “Experiment 43, unsuccessful.”
“It’s alright Dave.” A player comforted, “Failure is the mother of success. As long as the path is correct and we don’t stray, we’ll eventually succeed in cultivating a new plant!”
“You’re right.” Dave stood up from the fieldside, brushing the soil from his hands, ready to rest before starting the next experiment.
However, right at that moment, a thick green mist spread to the plantation, the spiritual energy concentration in the yard began to increase dramatically.
Initially startled, Dave then became overjoyed!
With a sudden increase in the concentration of spiritual energy, a lightbulb went off in his mind – with this approach, he might succeed with the experiment.
He called out to the players in the yard, “Everyone, I just thought of an effective method! The success of this experiment may now depend on this one attempt!”
