Chapter 184 Week 1 Settlement, Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade
The familiar system notification sounded in my ear, and an unusually long pop-up window appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving for a week. Weekly rewards are being calculated.]
This week, you explored beyond the region and met members from new factions...
You rescued the oppressed and exploited survivors in Happiness Lane, providing them with a better life. Your kindness and justice are truly moving...
[You've acquired resources such as Glimmering Sand, Warm Stone, and Winter Feather Chicken. You've cleverly tamed a Staghorn Beetle, alleviating your internal resource crisis. You've built greenhouse farms and developed technology; your guild is thriving, and the future looks promising...]
[You passed the test of revitalizing the teaching building with an undeniable performance. The Sanctuary of Restoration has opened its doors to you, and the S-rank Soul Sanctuary Talented Individual regards you as a close relative...]
[With the help of the Truth Bookstore, you created your own unique skills, demonstrating extraordinary talent...]
【…】
The system's praise was endless, so Xiao Yun quickly skipped over it, flipped to the end, and looked at the settlement score and rewards that he was most concerned about.
Overall rating: 1666 points, reward being distributed:
[Congratulations on obtaining: 3 Large Home Expansion Cards, 3 Large Backpack Expansion Cards, 3 Large Guild Expansion Cards, 1 Area Exploration Card, 1 Follower System Upgrade Card, 2 Advanced Workshop Building Cards, 2 Junkyard Building Cards, 2 Hot Spring Center Building Cards, 20 Equipment Upgrade Cards, 20 Skill Upgrade Cards, 20 Building Upgrade Cards, 3 All-Purpose Recovery Potions, and 3 Fixed-Point Teleportation Portals]
Seeing so many rewards, Xiao Yun was momentarily dazzled.
But he wasn't surprised at all that he got such a high score this week.
"On average, I only get a little over two hundred points a day. As the leader of a large guild, in the eighth rank, if I can't earn more than two hundred points a day, I might as well die sooner."
Xiao Yun shook his head and chuckled, then began to sort out and settle the rewards.
The area exploration card has a simple effect: after use, it can explore the terrain of a circular area with a diameter of 10 kilometers and draw a map.
It may seem like a trivial matter, but it plays an extremely important role in the development of the ideal state.
After the journey, the terrain changed drastically. The area around the Ancient Capital University alone was now comparable in size to half of the original ancient city.
Even with the large number of professionals in the Ideal Country, they haven't been able to complete the exploration of the entire area in all these days.
"I'm probably not the only one who received exploration cards. I'll collect them tomorrow and see if I can finish exploring the edge of the area."
"Once the exploration is complete, we will begin constructing defensive structures such as city walls and outposts along the perimeter of the area."
Firstly, it's necessary to prepare for the upcoming full moon night and block attacks from monsters in the mist; secondly, it's also to prevent wars with other guilds.
Although the guild headquarters is protected by a shield, if the enemy's main force breaks through the area's gates and loots the rest of the area, then everything will be over, and all efforts will be in vain.
"The follower system will have a follower space after the upgrade. That's great! Now we don't have to worry about King Crow and the others getting lost when we go out."
Xiao Yun nodded, used the upgrade card to upgrade the follower system, and notified the Crow King and the others to move to a new home.
The guys were very excited when they heard the news, especially the youngest one, who took his doghouse and occupied the best spot.
The Crow King tapped his unfilial son on the head, demanding that he give way to his elder brother.
Norton, the little dragon, was even more arrogant, saying that arriving early was useless; according to strength, it had already advanced to the eighth rank and should be the eldest brother.
Soon, the three of them were fighting.
Only the insects didn't fight or compete; they even found some plant seeds and used stardust powder to decorate the empty space.
"Chongchong is still a good child."
Xiao Yun nodded, silently granting Chongchong the highest level of access besides his own, and then continued to look at the other settlement rewards.
The newly introduced [Advanced Workstation Building Card] and [Garbage Recycling Station Building Card] are both very useful.
The advanced workstation is an upgraded version of the workbench. It is easier to operate, has more space, and is more efficient. It also comes with a lot of basic construction drawings, making it more suitable for the upcoming infrastructure projects of Ideal Country.
The garbage recycling station is the most advanced building card Xiao Yun has ever seen, capable of transforming useless garbage into pure [Mana Crystals] as well as basic materials such as [Iron], [Stone], and [Flesh Essence].
The only problem is that the garbage needs to be sorted before it can be disposed of.
"Garbage sorting in the gutter! It's like it's chasing me even after I've traveled through time!"
Xiao Yun's lips twitched slightly. After pondering for a moment, he decided to leave the headache to Huang Haoran and the others tomorrow.
The remaining rewards were all familiar faces, so Xiao Yun quickly tidied them up.
"The extra hot spring centers can be placed in the South Campus and Buildings 6-10 in the North Campus, and then distributed with fixed-point teleportation portals, making it more convenient to travel in the future."
"Put away all the equipment and skill upgrade cards; you'll need them to upgrade the Mithril Sword and fuse skills later. And the building upgrade cards..."
Xiao Yun counted the quantity in his inventory and nodded slightly:
"Finally, I've saved up 50 cards. Time to upgrade the Boss Goose and the others."
Perhaps because the exclusive buildings for Lord-level monsters are special, upgrading from C+ to B- requires more than twice the resources of other ordinary buildings.
Xiao Yun returned to the dormitory with the upgrade card, while the others were sorting out their respective rewards.
While discussing upgrading the building, Xiao Yun took the opportunity to collect more upgrade cards, gathering another 50.
Ultimately, considering the overall cost-effectiveness, everyone unanimously decided to upgrade the Star Moon White Goose Nest and the Heavenly Feather Platform first.
Firstly, Goose Boss and Heavenly Feather Golden Eagle are already powerful, and if they can be promoted to the eighth rank, it will add a strong combat force.
Secondly, the resources produced by both buildings are very useful. Goose eggs are considered a high-quality resource for improving attributes, while the feathers and down produced by Tianyu Terrace are excellent equipment materials.
The group considered upgrading Bloodflame Outpost, but found that it required 100 upgrade cards, and since they couldn't exploit the bug, they had to give up.
After making the decision, Xiao Yun used the upgrade card on the two buildings.
The next second, a dazzling white light enveloped the two buildings, and Goose Boss and Sky Feather Golden Eagle fell into a deep sleep, while the buildings became temporarily unavailable.
After finishing his work, Xiao Yun felt no sleepiness at all.
Meanwhile, the guild channel was bustling with activity as everyone shared the rewards they had received. Every now and then, someone would take out crafting blueprints for items like [Warm Corridor], [Insulating Floor Film], and [Energy Conductor] and ask Xiao Yun and the others if they were useful.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun simply called a meeting to discuss future development plans.
Ji Mingyu: "Now that we have so many blueprints, it would be best to make use of them. For example, we could connect several dormitory buildings with a heated corridor to make it easier for everyone to move around."
Huang Haoran: "I agree. I also have advanced workstations here, plus Yun Ge's and the others, that's enough for large-scale infrastructure construction."
Su Muqing: "Xiao Yun just mentioned garbage sorting. Why don't we take this opportunity to assign tasks to other people, such as cleaners, manufacturers, construction workers, farmers, etc., not limited to the original six departments of the guild."
With everyone brainstorming, a series of development plans were quickly developed.
Seeing everyone chatting so enthusiastically, Gu Shen finally couldn't resist and subtly offered some good methods that Wuyouxiang had used, which amazed everyone.
"Sure, our vice president may lack ability, but his development planning is impeccable."
Xiao Yun was also amazed, feeling as if she were meeting Gu Shen for the first time:
"You've really learned a lot from being a librarian. You used to be a pure warrior who could 'fart like thunder and poop like an arrow.'"
Gu Shen glared at him fiercely:
"Get lost! What I called purity, not stupidity!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.
Only Ji Mingyu looked at Gu Shen, his eyes flashing with scrutiny.
They chatted until late into the night, and just as everyone was getting ready to rest, more good news arrived.
"Brothers, I've leveled up!"
Zhong Mo looked excited, and everyone cheered.
But it wasn't just for his advancement.
After tonight's settlement, he won't be the only one to advance.
In less than half an hour, more than thirty eighth-sequence professionals sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
At the same time, accompanied by a pleasant system notification sound, a panel appeared in front of all members of the Ideal Kingdom.
The guild has met the upgrade requirements!
Congratulations! Your Ideal Kingdom guild level has been upgraded to: C+
The guild contribution point shop is now open, and access to view detailed information about guild members is now enabled.
The air was still for a moment, then a deafening roar of cheers broke the silence of the night.
In the guild chat, the phrase "Ideal Country is awesome!" instantly flooded the screen.
"A C+? That was fast..."
Xiao Yun's joy was palpable, but when he glanced at the conditions for upgrading to B-, he couldn't help but gasp.
[A guild must possess 100000 hectares of territory, 100000 members, control 3 or more regions, have at least five affiliated/ally guilds, and have at least 100 members of the eighth rank or higher...]
Most importantly, there must be at least three professionals of the seventh rank or above.
"It seems unlikely that there will be any improvement in the short term. However, if that's the case, both the B-rank guilds, Worry-Free Land and Eternal Empire, have at least three seventh-sequence professionals in charge?"
Seeing that Xiao Yun's expression was somewhat uncertain, Gu Shen immediately knew what he was thinking.
"How are you feeling the pressure?"
"A little."
"So... what about the Eternal Empire? Should we continue?"
Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically:
"Damn it! How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?"
Gu Shen gave a thumbs up:
"You've got guts!"
"But let's be on the safe side. I'll have Wu Haowen inform Wuyou Township first, just in case we can't win... Hey, hey, where are you going?"
Gu Shen looked at Xiao Yun walking towards the gate with a puzzled expression.
"Nonsense, of course we're going to fight!"
Xiao Yun replied, his tone somewhat hurried.
Gu Shen hurriedly caught up and asked again:
"So hasty? Are you planning a blitzkrieg?"
"no."
Xiao Yun shook his head, looking at the information that had just been refreshed on the system panel, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"no."
Xiao Yun shook his head, looking at the information that had just been refreshed on the system panel, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
[The Eternal Empire's Tiger Legion launches a surprise attack on the Ideal Country, expected to arrive in 3 hours.]
"Do you think it's possible that they'll deliver to your door?"
Gu Shen: "???"
