Chapter 307: Planning for the New Territory, Future Prospects (6000)

[Your territory member: Renis Hawkeye successfully used the expert-level heart of power and broke through to become a fifth-order leader-level creature, and the basic attributes increased by 100%]

[Due to its greatly improved attributes, it has completed its sublimation transformation, and its health has increased by an additional 50%]

...

"Buzz!"

The aura of a fifth-order leader-level strongman swept across the entire territory.

Everyone turned their attention to him.

They could all feel that there was another powerful man in this territory!

Sarah, Assam and others seemed to understand something and had relieved smiles on their faces.

As their territory grew stronger, they felt proud of it.

With an excited look on her face, Renis came to Cao Xing and said, "My Lord, I succeeded!"

She was so excited that she subconsciously grabbed Cao Xing's arm.

His powerful wrist strength even made Cao Xing feel like he was held by an iron hoop, and his mouth twitched in pain.

But in front of his subordinates, Cao Xing was embarrassed to show it.

He said with a forced smile, "Congratulations, Renis."

"I knew you would succeed."

After hearing this, the female archer in front of him also revealed a bright smile.

I looked at her attributes.

【Ascalon Archer: Rhaenys Hawkeye】

[Race: Human Race]

[Level: Level 40 0/500000 (Level Boss-level Creature)]

...

"Sure enough, the fifth level is an extremely strong transformation!"

Don’t think that Renis is neither a commander creature nor has Assam’s legendary weapon.

But she has a skill called [Hunting Heart].

This skill directly increases the critical strike rate by 50%, which, combined with the basic critical strike rate, means a 100% critical strike rate.

And her current attack power, plus Liu Muxue's [Blessing of Courage].

When dealing with creatures without armor, a random critical hit can cause more than 9,000 damage.

Plus her terrifying attack speed.

In terms of output, he is on par with Andrew.

In other words, Renis now has the combat power to fight against sixth-order strongmen of higher levels!

This is also the reason why Cao Xing always lets these core fighters advance first instead of letting himself and Liu Muxue advance first.

Indeed, as a powerful Aurora Knight, Liu Muxue's various attributes will be greatly improved after advancement, including the values ​​of some blessing skills will also be greatly improved.

However, these blessing skills can allow the strong men under your command to fight at a higher level, but they cannot give them the ability to fight at a higher level.

After all, the gap between the fourth level and the sixth level is like a huge chasm!

People like Sarah and Assam, as long as they break through, they will have the combat power to fight against sixth-level strongmen.

There is no shortage of fourth and fifth level warriors in his territory, but what is lacking is the higher-level top combat power.

Cao Xing exclaimed: "Not bad, Renis, your strength has become extremely powerful after your breakthrough."

"Also, my strength has increased a lot..."

After hearing the latter sentence, Renee suddenly realized something.

She quickly let go of Cao Xing's hand and apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, Lord..."

"I...I was too excited...I hurt you, I'm sorry..."

The woman kept apologizing, with a look of panic on her pretty face.

Seeing her like this, Cao Xing wanted to tease her.

He chuckled and said, "It's nothing, just rub it for me a few times."

"Uh-huh!"

Renesus nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Then, she stretched out her pair of hands with thick calluses and gently rubbed Cao Xing's arms with clumsy movements.

And gradually knelt on the ground.

Now from this angle, it looks a bit evil...

Cao Xing was standing at this time, and from this perspective, he could see Renees' fluttering eyelashes and serious eyes.

There is also a large area of ​​white under the breastplate...

At this moment, Renis was rubbing Cao Xing's arm gently and seriously.

The next moment, Cao Xing directly pressed down her hair.

"Well……"

Renesmee's eyes widened, "Howl... so sudden..."

"Do you like it, Renis?"

"I like...I like...I like you the most..."

Cao Xing had a faint smile on his face and gently stroked her hair.

After a moment, Renis said with a blushing face: "My Lord... I haven't felt your love for a long time..."

Cao Xing was stunned.

Come to think of it, it has been a long time since I last looked for Renis.

He didn't say anything, but instead held the female archer with perfect body curves in his arms.

What surprised Cao Xing was that compared to the last time, Renis's body seemed to have undergone some changes.

"hiss……"

Cao Xing took a deep breath and asked, "Lenis, can your breakthrough still affect this place?"

The beauty blushed and said, "Because... because I have been getting stronger too fast recently... I can't control the power of my body well."

Cao Xing couldn't stop sighing.

This time, he didn't even have half an hour.

Cao Xing felt a little annoyed.

The beauty behind him had a shy smile in her eyes, and a hint of deep cunning was hidden in her sapphire-like pupils.

After resting for five minutes, Cao Xing refused to believe it.

He continued to practice with this powerful female archer...

Until late at night.

Cao Xing fled back to his lord's hut...

...

...

After that, nothing special happened.

The unconscious soldiers and Edward have been sent for treatment.

Cao Xing also fell into a deep sleep.

...

...

The next day...

[Survivors, please note that you have passed the third day of the construction week. The remaining time is 4 days]

[Weather forecast: Due to unknown reasons, a warm and humid air current will pass through the snowy area today, causing the temperature in the upper air to rise temporarily. At the same time, a large-scale freezing rain and hail will fall at the same time. The temperature will be -47℃~53℃. It is not suitable to go out, but it is advisable to build a territory...]

...

Seeing the system prompt, the two opened their eyes.

Cao Xing pondered, "Is bad weather going to happen again?"

Liu Muxue nodded lightly, "Yes, since the snowstorm, we finally had a few days of good weather, but I didn't expect it to appear again today."

In this world, they have experienced many moderate snowfalls, heavy snowfalls, and even blizzards.

But this is the first time I have experienced freezing rain and hail.

In the chat channel, some survivors have already started sighing.

However, after so many days, most of the survivors have adapted to the ever-changing weather in this world.

Moreover, Cao Xing's territory is located in a plain area, and the freezing rain has little impact on him. He only needs to pay attention to drainage.

Also, people working outside the territory need to pay attention to the loss of body temperature.

After all, with the temperature of this world, rain falling on your body will quickly take away a lot of heat.

Symptoms such as fever and colds may break out among the people.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "But fortunately, the medical room in my territory has been built and equipped with corresponding medical personnel."

"Plus, most of my subjects have reached the level 10 level, and their physiques are much stronger than the average person."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt relieved.

"Get up, Muxue. We need to start the second round of territory expansion before the freezing rain starts!"

Hearing this, there was some surprise in Liu Muxue's eyes.

She replied obediently: "Yeah, let's get up together."

The two of them quickly washed up again and came to the outside of the lord's cabin.

At the same time, hundreds of soldiers and nearly two hundred staff members were waiting outside.

After seeing Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, everyone saluted at the same time.

"Good morning, my Lord."

"Madam Lord, I wish you good health..."

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

At this time, Cao Yi, a local lord, came forward and reported, "Lord, the three truckloads of ore that Da Zhuang and his men brought back yesterday have all been sorted."

"A total of 22784 stone resources, 7734 iron resources, 2183 copper resources, and 216 primary magic crystals have been obtained. All of them have been placed in the storage box in the territory."

After hearing Cao Yi's report, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

This efficiency is indeed very high.

Not counting other things, there are 216 pieces of [Primary Magic Crystals] alone, which is equivalent to more than magic units, equal to the value of two expert-level magic crystals.

Moreover, this is just one day's output of the goblin laborers.

There are more than 20,000 stones among them.

Even though stones are just basic resources, the amount of this resource that will be consumed in the subsequent territory expansion will be enormous!
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Cao Yi."

The chieftain Cao Yi said modestly: "This is our responsibility, respected lord."

"Now, please give us orders for today's work!"

Da Zhuang next to him also echoed: "That's right, Lord, we can't wait to get to work!"

The staff on the field were full of energy.

But Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have other plans today."

Everyone stood there in confusion, but no one asked any further questions.

Cao Xing then asked: "Who among you has experience in urban construction or town and village construction?"

Hearing this question, hundreds of pairs of eyes on the field looked at each other and shook their heads. Seeing this, Cao Xing also sighed.

There are many talented people in my territory, both in combat and in life.

However, there is no talent in management and construction.

He thought to himself, "It seems that recruiting talents for territory management and construction should be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

"But if we don't have it now, it won't matter. Let's expand the territory first."

"Once we find talent in this area, we can re-plan it."

"Anyway, I have giant vines, and I can move the layout of the territory however I want."

At this moment, Liu Muxue next to him raised her hand and said softly, "Axing... I used to be a city planning major. Maybe I can give it a try."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was also slightly stunned.

Come to think of it, he really didn't know Liu Muxue's past.

I didn’t expect that her major in college was urban planning.

After all, when Cao Xing first heard the name 'Liu Muxue', she had already become famous in Xiangjiang City.

"That's great, Mu Xue. I'll have someone draw a rough map of the territory later, and then you can see how to plan it better."

The female knight beside him nodded slightly after hearing this, with a gentle smile on her face, as if she was happy to be able to contribute to the territory.

Cao Xing looked at the pale-faced painter in the crowd and asked, "Edward, how do you feel now?"

Last night, the demon that had been targeting him finally showed up.

After the demon unleashed its terrifying power, an ordinary person like Edward couldn't bear it and fell into a coma. He was later carried into the infirmary.

After hearing this, Edward forced a smile on his face and said, "My Lord, I feel great now."

"I heard from Dr. Sabina that you dealt with that demon last night."

"Now, when I close my eyes, those horrible monsters will never appear again!"

"Praise my Lord, you saved me!"

After saying that, he bowed solemnly to Cao Xing.

[Thanks to your rescue, the loyalty of the territory member: Edward Degas has been improved, current loyalty: 91]

...

Cao Xing also laughed after hearing this.

I have to say, Edward is really my lucky star!

Cao Xing had a sudden idea to bring this down-and-out painter back to his territory because he was impressed by his advanced painting skills.

Unexpectedly, he also brought a powerful demon to the territory.

This demon dropped two epic items for Cao Xing, and greatly increased the strength of himself and Renis!
The help is huge!

Of course, only Cao Xing has the ability to deal with the devil.

If it were other survivors or other forces, even if the demon appeared, they would be unable to do anything to that guy, and might even be killed by the demon.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt better.

"Very good, I now have a task for you."

Edward's expression suddenly became stern, and then he said respectfully: "My Lord, please tell me, I will do my best to complete it!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's not a difficult task."

"I need you to draw the architectural layout of our territory. How long will it take?"

The painter thought for a moment, then said, "My Lord, I need to go to a higher place to investigate first."

"But it won't take long, probably just ten minutes to finish the painting."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also nodded. "Okay, then you go first."

"Everyone else, go to the cafeteria to have breakfast first, and then wait for my orders."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

The goblins said happily: "Haha, great, it's time for breakfast again."

"Yeah, yeah, we lived for decades before and never even heard of what breakfast was."

"The people living in this territory are so happy!"

After hearing this, the group of polar people said proudly: "Of course, our lord is compassionate to his subordinates, kind and powerful!"

"It's your luck to be able to come to this territory!"

The goblins agreed and said, "God of the Crypt, I totally agree with what this polar man said."

"Yes, yes, it would be great if we could meet the Lord earlier."

"Femos, I suggest that we go back to the southern continent and take over the other hard laborers to serve the lord."

"Ramos, you idiot! The southern continent is countless earth dragons away from us. You can't run over there even if you run till your legs break..."

Amid the goblins' chattering, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Edward quickly climbed up a distant watchtower and began to observe the terrain of the entire territory.

Then he took out a drawing board and a paintbrush and began to paint carefully.

After entering the working state, the painter's face became more serious than ever.

He would glance at the building below from time to time, and wave the paintbrush in his hand with rapid movements.

Compared to the decadent look before, he seemed like a completely different person.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue were standing below waiting.

A few minutes later, Edward climbed down from the watchtower and quickly ran to the watchtower at the other end of the territory and began to draw the terrain in the territory.

It took about twenty minutes.

Edward went to watchtowers in four directions and described them all.

He ran over breathlessly and said, "My Lord, Madam, everything has been drawn. Please take a look!"

Four large drawings appeared in his hands.

In every blueprint, there is a corner of Cao Xing’s territory.

At this time, they are laid flat and pieced together, and a complete floor plan appears.

Moreover, Edward had excellent painting skills and he restored the buildings in his territory almost one-to-one.

You can tell at a glance what kind of building this is in the territory.

Cao Xing praised: "Edward, well done, your painting skills are superb."

Liu Muxue next to him also chuckled and praised.

Edward felt extremely honored to receive their praise.

He immediately straightened his body and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord and Lady, for your recognition!"

then.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue looked at the blueprint drawn by Edward.

However, the more they looked, the more their brows began to frown slightly.

Before, they couldn't feel it with their naked eyes.

But now, when all these buildings were presented on paper, Cao Xing realized how messy the layout of his territory was.

Because his territory is a circle with a diameter of one kilometer.

And because it was developed bit by bit, many buildings were built temporarily.

Sometimes Cao Xing got new blueprints, such as the King's Altar, the Knight's Hall, etc., and he would just find an empty space to build them.

Sometimes when new people come to the territory, a batch of new residential houses are built, and a few more buildings will also be built behind these buildings.

As a result, these buildings in the territory have no specific plan and are of different heights.

It seems messy and disorganized.

It's not just Cao Xing. Except for some survivor lords who have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, the territories of other people are basically in such a messy state.

It will take a lot of time to demolish and rebuild and rearrange the layout later.

Cao Xing then said: "Mu Xue, I want to expand the diameter of my territory from one kilometer to two kilometers. How do you think I should plan it?"

After hearing this, Liu Muxue thought for a moment.

Her beautiful eyes looked at the buildings in the distance, as if she was thinking about something.

Cao Xing was also waiting quietly by the side.

After all, planning an entire territory is not an easy task.

From a diameter of one kilometer to two kilometers, it is equivalent to expanding the territory by four times, which is already the size of a small town.

There is room for a lot of buildings inside.

Planning these buildings and taking future development into consideration is a very brain-intensive task.

After thinking for about three or four minutes.

Liu Muxue seemed to have an idea.

She picked up a paintbrush and drew a circle in the center of the paper Edward had drawn.

"According to what you told me last night, the furnace and the lord's mansion cannot be moved or dismantled."

“So, these two buildings are the core buildings of the entire territory.”

"Then we will use these two buildings as the center and continue to expand outwards to create the second, third, and fourth ring areas."

"This area also needs to be subdivided into living areas, industrial areas, and agricultural breeding areas..."

"Also, we need to reserve enough space to make it a combat zone or training area..."

As Liu Muxue spoke, she also continued to add some details that she had considered.

At this moment, she also used her skills as an urban planning graduate with a solemn expression.

"The living area includes the eating and lodging places for the people, so it needs to be a relatively quiet environment. Therefore, I suggest building it in the second ring area outside the territory government."

"Then for the third ring. I suggest putting the Knight's Hall, Warrior Camp, King's Altar and other buildings here, and leaving more open space for the construction of other buildings in the future."

"The next is the industrial zone. Some machinery factories, ore sorting plants, logging mills and other noisy places need to be set up far away from residential areas, which is roughly the outer areas."

As she spoke, Liu Muxue began to draw circles on the drawing and marked the positions of these circles.

"In addition, there are also breeding areas such as farmland and cattle sheds, which also need to be divided into separate areas."

"The Pale Tree and the back garden do not need to be moved. They can remain as they are. Then, a few more spaces will be reserved here as the central administrative area of ​​the territory town."

"Then the vacant land in the second and third ring roads will be used to build more residential buildings if the population explodes in the future."

As she continued to write.

Soon, circles of various sizes appeared on the painting on the ground.

Until almost twenty minutes had passed.

Liu Muxue finally completed her idea.

Cao Xing looked at the drawing on the ground, which was filled with various patterns and words.

He looked at Edward beside him and asked, "Do you understand what my wife means?"

Edward nodded quickly and said, "Understood, Lord!"

"Give me ten minutes and I'll draw the Lord's wife's idea."

Cao Xing nodded.

And this talented person with [Advanced Painting Mastery] began to show his talent again.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

He spread a piece of paper on the ground, and then painted while looking at the areas circled by Liu Muxue.
