Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 27 27. Reward Board

Having an npc is equivalent to having a labor force, but if she wants to 'use' these labor forces, she also needs to be equipped with related tools and building resources.

For example, she must build a 'residential house' to accommodate these wandering npcs.

NPCs can eat badly, dress badly, and live badly...but they must have a place to live.

If there is not even a place to live, even if this wandering npc voluntarily joins the territory, he will not be able to join for some reason.

Don't ask, asking is a game restriction, in order to prevent players from gaining npc favor without limit to achieve the purpose of accumulating a large number of npc.

Not to mention storing so many npcs at once, the game server can't bear such a large amount of data, but judging from the strange behavior of some players, it should be this continent that can't bear it first.

Do you know about the fourth natural disaster?
Although this digital world is different from the original game in many places, Su You doesn't think this restriction will be lifted.

The material for building a residential house is ten planks, that is...a total of 120 pieces of wood.

Su You suddenly felt that her tree-cutting hand was trembling slightly...

Although the lord player can collect resources, compared with other characters, the efficiency of the lord player's resource collection has a certain correction, and this correction is still revised downwards.

Because their correct game method should be to recruit npc, let npc cut trees, let npc mine, let npc collect food...

So Su You's stamina would drop if she cut down two trees at random, or she would become exhausted after cutting down a few trees at random... This is really not her problem, it's because the strength of the character itself has been weakened.

She will be preparing to build the bulletin board later, that is to say, tomorrow morning at the latest, the first batch of wandering npcs should be refreshed.

In order to ensure the speed of development (to prevent luck factors from affecting the game experience), within 12 hours of building the bulletin board, the first batch of npcs will inevitably be refreshed to join. As for how many of these npcs are there, and what is the situation, this is random up.

But Su You can't build a residential house right now, and she can't even build a residential house before tomorrow morning, because it will be night... oh, no, it's already night.

Perhaps it was because the construction and production took too much time, so Su You didn't notice the passage of time at all, and because of the fire in the heart of the city, Su You didn't even notice that the sky had darkened.

Su You looked up at the sky, and then took out the two finished wooden boards from the workbench.

……

【Get Roasted Berries*2】

While Su You was eating sweet and sour roasted berries to replenish her hunger bar, she was flipping through the building list.

Although she has no way to take in wandering npcs by building residential houses for the time being, she still has a way to make these npcs work for her.

It's just that something needs to be paid.

After eating the two servings of roasted berries, Su You drank a glass of water—this water was collected from a nearby stream when she was collecting berries.

Otherwise, she must place the territory where there is a water source, because in this way, she doesn't have to make berry juice that wastes hunger points to replenish water.

It is not only convenient for daily drinking water, but also convenient for irrigated farmland when the farmland is constructed later.

But having said that, although the territory is suitable for placement in places with water sources, temporary footholds are not suitable for placement in such places.

Because the location near the water source is very humid, the soil is also very humid, and the temperature at night is lower. If you rest in such an environment, there is a high probability that you will be infected with some debuffs.

And the water is not actually for drinking directly, it must be boiled before drinking, otherwise the probability of diarrhea or infection is not small.

And the territory has a house to live in, and does not sleep on the floor, so naturally there is no need to worry about the problem of high humidity and low temperature.

And because of the existence of the city center fire... to be precise, because of the existence of the flame stone, preparing hot water is not a waste of fuel or kindling for the city center fire that is burning 24 hours a day.

In theory, the fire in the heart of the city can burn infinitely. After all, it is not just a cluster of flames, it also symbolizes the life and death of a territory.

With the blessing of the flame stone, only a little fuel is needed, and the fire in the heart of the city can burn for a long time.

……

"Finally found it." Su You's eyes lit up, and she clicked on the building's information to start browsing.

After confirming that although the name was changed, it was indeed the taskbar, Su You directly started to synthesize materials and prepare for production.

After the materials were finished, Su You placed the building next to the bulletin board.

[Do you want to consume wood boards*2 to build reward boards? 】

[Under construction: reward board, estimated time: 5 minutes]

Reward board (task bar): It is used to publish and receive reward tasks, and can be combined with the task hall. (Note: When the territory reaches the 'intermediate camp', the system task is unlocked and refreshed. Only the lord can receive the system task, and the reward is provided by the system; any npc can receive the reward task issued by the player, and the reward is provided by the player.)
System task?

What is this? !
At first, Su You felt very strange about the name change of the task bar, but it became even more strange after she saw the note.

In the past, there was only one function of this task bar, that is to issue tasks/receive tasks.

The city lord player releases tasks for homeless NPCs or city residents to collect. The city lord player can collect resources in this way, but since it is a task, there must be rewards, so it can be regarded as spending money to buy resources.

In addition, when the development of the territory improves in the later stage of the game, not only players can issue tasks, but any resident of the territory can issue tasks, as long as they can afford the rewards.

But now there is actually one more system task...

Or is it a system task that can only be accepted by players...

Su You was very puzzled, but since the materials remained the same and the functions she needed hadn't changed, she still built this task bar...it should be called a reward board now.

It was also 5 minutes, but driven by curiosity, Su You felt that these 5 minutes were quite long.

Since there is nothing to do for the time being, Su You simply took out the tavern card, and then walked around within the territory, gesticulating everywhere.

She is measuring the distance.

The reason why I didn't start placing taverns as soon as I came up is also because of the distance.

For the convenience of building, there are some functions such as grid map or automatic alignment in the game, but they are not here.

She has discovered this problem since Su You placed the first bonfire.
