Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 2 2. Dissociated Data
"May I ask what free data is?" Su You believed that the other party would definitely hear what she said, but she didn't hold out much hope that she would answer.

But even if the other party didn't answer, she already had a vague answer in her heart - no matter what the free data is, it must be a bad thing to become free data.

After waiting for a few seconds, there was no response. Just when Su You thought she would not get an answer, the window that she had closed reappeared. The content on the window was the answer to the question she asked.

The difference from the previous window was that she had to close the former window voluntarily, but this time the window disappeared after appearing in less than three seconds. Fortunately, Su You took the time to see the content clearly.

[Free data is a kind of data that will increase the load of the digital world. If it accumulates too much, it will lead to the collapse of the digital world. The execution system will regularly clean up the free data to maintain the stability of the digital world. 】

Summary: Free data will be cleaned up by the execution system.

To put it mildly, it is to clean up stray data, and to translate it is to be obliterated.

Perhaps it was because before the executive system said that negativity equals death, Su You was not particularly surprised by this.

She doesn't know the situation of others, but if the city master player does not establish a territory for a long time, it is indeed a negative attitude towards the game.

It's just that this time... is really urgent.

Although the first window did not clearly state the specified time, but based on the disappearing countdown behind the lord's token and the words 'the lord's token is a necessary item for establishing a territory', Su You knew that her time was only three sky.

But in the game she played, the average time for city lord players to establish a territory was five days, unless the boss who deliberately broke the record would establish a territory within three days, most people would delay the time until three days later.

Because once the city lord player establishes a territory, the system will start to calculate the time for dark creatures (a dark creature with the purpose of destroying the territory) to attack the territory.

Establishing a territory before 15 am on the third day of the game will cause the first batch of dark creatures to attack on the tenth day, and creating a territory after this time will cause the first batch of dark creatures to appear on No.[-].

In other words, if the city is built on the third day, the players have less than seven days to prepare, but if they are stuck on the fourth day, they have a full eleven days to prepare.

Although the first batch of dark creatures were weak, they were even weaker for players who had no city lords, so the four days of preparation time seemed invaluable.

In addition to the factor of dark creatures, another reason for not building a city within three days is that it is difficult for players themselves to collect enough materials to establish a territory within three days without considering the factor of luck.

In other words, Su You now not only has to think about how to collect enough materials to establish a territory in three days, but also how to deal with the dark creature attack that was advanced.

Since delaying the establishment of a territory is considered negative, then watching the territory be destroyed must also be considered negative, and the result is naturally self-evident.

On the third day and the tenth day, these two time points are like two chains binding Suyou's throat, and they are also like two timed explosives. When the time comes, if she fails to cut the fuse of the bomb correctly, Then it's all over.

……

Thinking of this, Su You pursed her lips slightly, while her mind was running fast, her eyes were also scanning the surroundings, looking for the next course of action.

Although there were no lord tokens in the past games, the conditions for establishing a territory are similar to now, and it is also necessary to build a city heart fire.

The fire in the heart of the city literally means 'the flame in the center of the city'. It represents the life of a territory. Once it is extinguished, it means the 'death' of the city.

"The fire burns and the city grows, and the fire extinguishes and the city dies", this is the most appropriate description of the fire in the heart of the city.

Su You just looked at the construction materials of the Fire in the Heart of the City, and they are exactly the same as she remembered [wooden boards*5, stones*5, flame stones*1].

Among them, planks and stones are basic building materials. The former is synthesized from wood obtained from cutting down trees, and the latter is synthesized from mining or picking up scattered gravel on the ground.

Since they are all basic materials, it is not difficult to obtain them, it is only a matter of time.

What really affects the time to ignite the fire in the heart of the city is the acquisition of the 'flame stone'.

Flame Stone is not a natural material, but a material that has a chance to drop after killing a creature called 'Fire Monster'.

But now is obviously not the time to think about how to obtain the fire stone. The fire monster is not difficult to kill. Su You has many ways to kill the fire monster's lair. The prerequisite is sufficient materials.

So now the top priority is to collect materials.

……

The place where Su You is now is a small open space, surrounded by flowers and trees or various plants. According to her previous game experience, she should be in the 'forest resource point'.

There are many resource points in this game, and the ones that will be used as birth points are generally forest resource points and mining resource points.

The former is suitable for early development, while the latter is suitable for later development.

Given that this is a game involving life, the biggest advantage of her being born in a forest resource point is that her early development will be smoother and she will not die for no reason.

Otherwise, if the territory is suspended without being built, there is really nothing to say.

After planning everything, Su You chose a forest path with relatively few plants as the destination for collecting supplies.

After walking two steps, she saw a lot of branches, leaves, and wood fragments scattered on the ground, as well as gravel, weeds, and unknown plants that were obviously not ordinary weeds.

Su You took two steps forward, then squatted down, and tentatively reached out to pick up a branch on the ground.

【Obtain branches*1】

Just when Su You wanted to pick up the branch, but the moment her hand touched the branch, the branch disappeared out of thin air.

And, at the same time that the branch disappeared, Su You vaguely heard the prompt sound of "get the branch*1" coming from her ear.

Watching the branches disappear, Su You's eyes fluctuated slightly, but it was not very obvious.

Naturally, the disappearance of the branch from his hand couldn't have really disappeared, but it was in the backpack like the lord's token.

Su You opened the backpack and saw a tree branch icon next to the lord's token, and a number '1' marking the number of branches appeared in the lower right corner of the icon.

Introduction: An ordinary tree branch is the basic material for making items and building construction.

Checking the information of the branches, as expected, the text of the information is exactly the same as that of the Sunset Continent.

In the Sunset Continent, there are seven levels of any item and prop, namely: gray, white, green, blue, purple, red, and gold.

Among them, ash is the second best, and gold is the best.
