Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 12 12. Elementary Arrow Tower
Originally, Su You had ten servings of roasted berries when she came back, but one was snatched away, and then seven were given away, leaving only the last two.

And these two servings were gone just after eating.

In order to ensure that she didn't starve to death, Su You went to the berry bush before dark, quickly collected a group of red berries with a stone knife, and then hurried back.

And this group of branches, as well as the leaves that are close to a group, were all picked up by Su You when he was on the move in the afternoon.

These messy things filled up the ten compartments of Su You's backpack, leaving no room at all.

With the countdown, Su You can calculate that the time of appearance is around 06:30 in the evening, and when she came back after picking berries, it happened to be in time for the sunset flowers to bloom.

While admiring the beauty of the sunset flowers, Su You began to prepare the things needed for tomorrow.

Thanks to the mysterious creature, she has collected all the stones now, and Su You is going to find the fire monsters tomorrow and kill them to collect the fire stones.

Since she was going to kill the fire monster tomorrow, she naturally had to prepare the things she needed tomorrow.

It was still some time before dark, so it would be a waste of materials to light a bonfire just to make food, so Su You temporarily put the food making on the back burner.

She first made all the gravel on her body into stone.

Although the extra gravel could not be synthesized temporarily, Su You still put it away.

Due to limited conditions, Su You plans to use the most troublesome method tomorrow, but requires the least materials and has the highest error tolerance rate to kill the fire monster.

What is the biggest difference between the role of the city lord and other characters?
The reason is that this character can build buildings!
Although other identities can also be built, they can only build some basic things, such as campfires, workbenches, etc...

In the Sunset Continent, only builders can build a variety of buildings with sufficient materials and conditions.

But the flaws of the 'builder' are also obvious, that is, this character has no attributes, cannot be upgraded, cannot learn combat skills, and cannot be equipped with advanced combat equipment...

Anything related to combat has nothing to do with this character.

This is also the reason why Su You needs to use a special method to kill the stone monster. The character characteristics are here. The role of the city lord is inherently weak in battle, and it is not a wise choice to confront the enemy head-on.

But having no combat data doesn't mean she can't fight, because she can build buildings.

'Construction', this is the exclusive characteristic of the role of 'City Lord', as long as you keep this point in mind, many problems can be easily solved.

Su You skillfully rummaged through the building interface exclusive to her character, but within a few minutes, she found what she needed.

[Elementary Arrow Tower] (Consumption: Wood*10, String*2)

Category: Offensive Buildings
Durability: 3/3
Attributes: Attack Speed ​​(1), Base Attack Power (5), Attack Range (10)

Introduction: The arrow tower needs to be equipped with arrows to attack. The better the arrow, the higher the attack power.

[Wooden Fence/Fence Gate] (Consumption: Wood*1)

Category: Defensive Buildings
Durability: 20/20
Attributes: Defense (10), Resistance (1%)

Introduction: A wooden fence with limited defensive power can effectively block the enemy's advancing actions before its durability reaches zero. The basic wooden fence has a 1% chance of resisting attacks (without consuming durability).

With these two things on display, Su You's plans for tomorrow are obvious——

Use the wooden fence to block the fire monster, and then use the primary arrow tower to attack the fire monster, which is actually not much different from the tower defense game.

As long as Su You can ensure that the fence is sufficient, then she can kill the fire monster without injury... What she said before that she can slaughter the fire monster's lair is not a joke.

According to her arrangement, she needs two arrow towers, and at least five fences (four wooden fences, one fence gate).

The range that the five fences can block is limited, but because of the terrain, as long as Suyou can find a place with dense trees, five fences are definitely enough.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the terrain is good enough, she even only needs three fences (two wooden fences, one fence gate), and making two more is considered fault-tolerant.

In this way, the materials needed for these buildings are: wood*25, string*4.

There is enough string, exactly four, and the wood can be collected tomorrow, so these are no problems.

As for the arrows needed for the arrow tower, Su You also had enough materials to make them.

【Stone Arrow】

Category: Weapons

Quality: white
Attributes: Attack Power (10), Armor Break (5%)

Introduction: It can be used as ammunition for bows and arrow towers, with a 5% chance of ignoring defense (boss level ignores 50% defense) to cause damage, and a 20% chance of damage when used.

Material 1: Branches*3, Gravel*1 (can make 3 stone arrows)
材料2：木料*2，石料*1（可制作10~12根石质箭矢）
Under normal circumstances, most of you will choose 'Material 2' to make stone arrows. Needless to say, the reason is here, after all, the data is here.

It is worth mentioning that arrows are 'recyclable' items, and each arrow has a 20% probability of being damaged when used. Damaged arrows can also be recycled, but they cannot be used, they can only be used as 'fuel' Or wait for a 'fix'.

But because the benefits of repairing stone arrows are not directly proportional to the consumption, no one will repair stone arrows. What is worth repairing are advanced arrows made of better materials.

Because arrows are recyclable, theoretically, as long as one is lucky enough, one arrow can be used indefinitely.

The basic attack power of the primary arrow tower is 5, and the attack power of the stone arrow is 10, so the primary arrow tower equipped with stone arrows can cause '15' points of damage to unarmored enemies.

As for the attributes of the fire monster, if there is no change, Su You remembers that it should be blood volume (50), defense (5), and attack (10).

Regardless of resistance (full defense, no damage or 1 damage) or armor penetration (ignoring defense, full damage), a fire monster needs five arrows to kill...

After calculating the consumption and all her materials, Su You started to make stone arrows.

[Do you consume wood*4 and stone*2 to make stone arrows*20~24? 】

……

[Do you want to consume twigs*3 and gravel*1 to make stone arrows*3? 】

……

Although the material 1 for making stone arrows is not very cost-effective, whether it is to save backpack space or increase fault tolerance, Su You is ready to make arrows from this piece of rubble.
