Chapter 95 All for Food (1)
Chen Kai, who had been on the platform for a night, walked down the platform with red eyes and yawning red. Of course, there were other people who had not had a good sleep all night. Because the houses in the entire castle were just built and there were basically no decorations. Apart from the ornate marble carved on the ground, there were no decorations in the corridor of the entire castle.
Therefore, when the next day, Xu Fei and his team began to decorate the castle according to the drawings they had planned for the whole night. The decoration of most rooms was very simple, that is, laying carpets and hanging oil paintings. In fact, when they left Berkner Manor, they had basically moved all the items in the manor room except for the unmovable beds.
Because the system did not prompt them that these items could not be moved, and before Chen Kai and his friends left the capital, the Berkner Manor was Chen Kai's private property, so they could make them wantonly to make trouble. In addition to large objects that could not be moved, such as beds and cabinets, the oil paintings that could be moved, carpets and tapestries, and armor decorations that could be moved were all plundered by Chen Kai and his friends, and they were now placed in various parts of the castle.
Of course, in addition to the items looted from the Berkner Manor, Chen Kai and others also kept fine items brought back from the Rohan Empire that were not sold. For example, gold and silver utensils produced in the north of the Rohan Empire, these utensils were made of unique patterns with special glaze. In this way, gold and silver utensils were difficult to buy in the Rohan Empire, because using glaze on gold and silver utensils was much more difficult to buy in gold and silver utensils than other materials. Therefore, the price of utensils such as Hansting is nearly twice as high as that of the Rohan Empire. Some fine products are even more difficult to buy. The things Chen Kai put out cannot be said to be unique but also extremely rare fine products. If it is not a fine product, Chen Kai and others have sold them for money. Only those rare things Chen Kai would put away, and then now serve as decorations for the castle.
In order to completely decorate the entire castle, not only Chen Kai and the others helped Su Xinghe's friends and Huang Dao's classmates kept busy and spent a whole day to decorate the entire castle. However, the problem of the beds in the castle was still not solved because the Imperial Land Construction Mage Group ignored these. As a result, the first commercial project in Berkner Town became popular was not a grain merchant or a carpenter. Because there was no one selling furniture in the entire town, and no beds, everyone could only tragically slap the floor. This is why Chen Kai did not sleep all night. It was not that he was so excited that he didn't want to sleep, but when he opened the door and went in, he found that there was only a platform for beds in the room, but no beds, let alone quilts. In this case, Chen Kai could not think of any other way to sleep on the floor.
However, Berkner's business development is destined to be tortuous, because there are not many qualified carpenters among the players. Among the nearly 3,000 players in the city, only more than 40 players live in carpenters. There are only three qualified carpenters. There is only one carpenter who can make wooden bed furniture, and in reality he is a worker in a furniture factory.
As a result, in reality, this is just a low-level technical worker who is so hard that he earns only 100 yuan a day. He earns more than 3,000 gold coins in three days in the game world. This is just a deposit. In order to sleep in a better big bed, basically every player who has slept with enough hard floors is not stingy with gold coins. Of course, in order to keep the militiamen safely in the territory, Chen Kai had to take out gold coins to order the bed from the player.
But this player only has a pair of hands and feet, and the production items in this game are not as simple as in other games as in other games. Just read a few clicks. An ordinary wooden bed takes several hours to make it thick. And it is the kind of wood that has no edges or paint, and it is not even dry. The worst thing is that you don’t dislike such a wooden bed. It’s good to have it. As for the cabinet, it’s even worse, even the latch is simple. If you want to work carefully, you have to wait, or you can only continue to sleep on the floor.
In the end, Chen Kai was forced to have no choice. He had to send people to the player territory beside him to buy furniture, and furniture trading became the earliest foreign trade commercial activity in Berkner Town. However, the development of the players around him was not very good. After all, the players who were enfeoffed in the Hugodi territory had just gained a foothold, and the development of business could be said to be a toddler. However, their luck was better than Chen Kai, because they directly obtained a large number of people relocated from Hugodi City. Although the majority accounted for the most were the Aboriginal Noble Alliance. But in short, it was better than Chen Kai, a poor and uninhabited civilian at hand. If Chen Kai had thousands of Aboriginal civilians who were not soldiers, then the commercial activities in the city would be more prosperous. At least they would not be able to see people shopping at night, and there would be no ghosts in some urban areas during the day.
However, the benefits of having few people and having fewer people. At least Chen Kai didn't have to worry about the crowing and stealing of chickens and dogs in the city in the early stages of the development of the city. Because in the whole city, except for Chen Kai's troops, there were only players who were forced to leave the original place of living. Although these players took on the task of attacking Chen Kai's troops, they have now become Chen Kai's helpers. At least for the sake of gold coins and experience, these players helped Chen Kai patrol the blocks and cleared the mice and flying monsters that slipped into the city from outside. The so-called flying monsters are unique creatures in the Great Rift Valley not far from Berkner Town, and giant bats from the dark world underground.
When these bats were in the underground world, they were enemies of ordinary residents of the underground world. Because they not only sucked blood but also swallowed brains. As for why giant bats living in the underground world appeared in Chen Kai's territory, the reason was very simple. Because the former lord Hugodi completely opened the passage to the underground world in the Great Rift Valley and then fled in. Then the entire Great Rift Valley trade route became what it is now. Not only have to face terrible natural dangers, but also have to beware of the attacks of monsters in the underground world, and the troops of the former lord who escaped into the underground world and fled out.
Of course, the advantage of players attacking flying creatures is not obvious, because bats fly very fast, even giant bats. The huge size not only does not reduce their speed, but instead increases their impact during diving. In addition, their thick outer skin, crossbow arrows with ordinary strength below 100 pounds cannot penetrate their skin within ten meters. If Chen Kai turns the heavy crossbow on the city wall, it can easily shoot those bats, but the premise is that the crossbow arrows can hit the target. In fact, the best way to deal with these bats is fishing nets or spider web techniques. Therefore, when Chen Kai sends people to other territories to buy furniture, those player lords first hope to exchange them for a large number of spider web spider scrolls from Chen Kai.
However, compared with those bats in the player territory, Chen Kai's Berkner Town is much safer. Because the civil engineering mage group that used to garrison the city built here did not show mercy to these bats. Many players and indigenous civilians who wandered around relied on the bat corpses killed by the mage to earn living resources, and many people fought each other for some corpses. However, with the mage group leaving, Chen Kai and others had to take on the responsibility of eliminating bats. Fortunately, under the slaughter of those spellcasters, only a small number of bats dared to enter the city to attack humans, and these bats could not even lift up a wave under the culprit of the players.
In fact, the main force of culling bats is not the player holding crossbow arrows and torches fishing nets, but the two little flying dragons of Chen Kai and Su Wan. They are almost three meters long and are now starting to learn to fly hard. Every night they practice flying time, and their opponents are the giant bats flapping their wings in the sky.
But in the first night, the two little guys were basically caught by bats. If the scales on their bodies were not thick enough, there would be other players below to help. It is estimated that Donnie and Xiao Jin would be directly sucked into dragon jerky by the giant bats, but the next day they gradually became familiar with the flying posture and began to chase the giant bats in the air. But the final result was a crash. Fortunately, they were thick skin and thick flesh, even if they fell from a height of more than ten meters, they would not break their skin and bone roots.
By the third night of Chen Kai and the others began to master Berkner Town, the two little guys had already mastered the skills of high-speed flight and pursuit after suffering. They jumped and flew and beat the first bat from mid-air with their tails. After that, the entire Berkner sky became a paradise for two young flying dragons. Although their level was only fourth level, the two flying dragons with elite templates could easily defeat ordinary giant bats, combined with the special nature and special bloodline of dragon creatures. Even if the elite level among some giant bats is comparable to that of the sixth level creatures, they are still just prey in the eyes of the larger flying dragons.
However, the bat meat is too thick and poisonous. Donny and Xiaojin basically don't touch the corpse, and they never bite them with their teeth but attack with their claws and tails. But the two little guys are alone after all, and if they encounter large-scale giant bats, they will turn around and run away. Fortunately, there are almost no large bat communities around the entire town of Berkner, and the largest number is just a dozen small troops. The large bat groups were killed by the casters who originally built the city, and the rest were only some fragile crooked melons and jujubes.
Because the town of Berkner did not have the invasion of giant bats, the original Hugodi residents scattered in the wilderness began to slowly move to the town to live. The arrival of these residents finally made the city a little popular. However, the total number of residents scattered in the wilderness around Berkner was not 3,000, and they were all poor farmers without real estate or poor people who originally lived in Hugodi. These people had no skills and no ability to make a living, so they were abandoned by the indigenous nobles or not accepted by the player lords. Only Chen Kai, the hungry lord, would be attracted by the hungry lords.
They were harvested and then allocated land for them to farm. Of course, if they couldn't even farm, Chen Kai could only let them die. Fortunately, although these poor people did not have much ability, they were at least hardworking. The day after Chen Kai allocated the land to them, they began to reclaim the ground and prepare for farming. The land that Chen Kai gave them was farmland less than two kilometers away from the city. Of course, it was in the north of the city. The area west was the land that was prepared to be distributed to the families of the soldiers in the future, while the area east and south was close to the Great Rift Valley, and basically no one would ask for it.
In fact, Chen Kai's strategic location in the city is still very important. Because it is five kilometers southeast, the northern exit of the Great Rift Valley, where Chen Kai spent 200,000 gold coins to rebuild the original old bunker. Then more than a thousand players were sent here by Chen Kai. Apart from sending Su Xinghe's friends and Huangdao classmates to charge tolls, Chen Kai didn't care much about other things. In fact, he didn't have the energy to care about because the whole city needed his busy space.
There were too many parties. In addition to arranging people to patrol, he also had to take people to clear out the monsters that appeared in the territory and the rebels left by the former lord. The most important thing was that he had to deal with the soldiers of the surrendered noble alliance. But what made him angry was that Baron Kemal and his group obviously had no interest in taking out the ransom to redeem their soldiers. As a result, Chen Kai had to bear the food and accommodation issues of more than a thousand soldiers, making him, who originally wanted to make some pocket money by relying on the ransom to kill people.
In the end, Chen Kai did not cut off the surrendered soldiers. Instead, he sent them home with some travel expenses. However, Chen Kai did not expect that his behavior of trying to get rid of the burden would bring him great reputation, and by the way, many civilians in the noble alliance territory fled to his territory. Of course, this happened a matter of time a month later. For Chen Kai, who had just dealt with the surrendered soldiers, he had only two most troubles now, first of all, food and then housing.
For players or for every creature in the game, the world is the biggest to eat. If you don’t fill your stomach, you don’t have to talk about life. It is very difficult to feed the nearly 10,000 mouths in Berkner Town. Although Chen Kai had purchased a huge amount of food along the way to his territory, the food in the northern region had problems due to the ghoul disaster in the Golden Plain, and the food in the southern region could not be transported due to the blockage of the Great Rift Valley trade route. As a result, Chen Kai spent a huge amount of money to buy, which could only maintain the food for less than 10,000 people for less than a month. After a month, everyone would have to hunger and eat the northwest wind.
The second is the housing issue. Although Chen Kai had the imperial civil engineering mage group built many houses before, as more and more residents in the city, the number of houses began to be insufficient. However, newly built houses will definitely not be able to catch up with the increase of residents, because there is no professional house builder in the city, that is, the deputy of the earth element mage. Chen Kai really hopes that the zodiac or other earth element mages in the city can obtain this deputy as soon as possible, but it is obvious that it is still difficult for players to obtain this deputy as it is, because the house builder, that is, the civil engineering spellcaster, is a mage who specializes in earth element quasi-type spells. The attack power is not very high, so it is not very popular among players. Although the zodiac is now specializing in spell quasi-type, he specializes in destructive spells, not construction spells. Even if the final result is almost the same, he does not have the magic power to support the overall construction of a house.
However, houses are still sufficient at present, so Chen Kai can let the earth element mages slowly build houses. That is, use spells to assemble rocks and combine them into simple houses. Of course, if you want to build the same houses as those of the civil engineering mages around, it is estimated that the difficulty will be very high and you need to accumulate experience. Fortunately, they still have time now, and before solving the food problem, Chen Kai doesn't want to increase the population quickly. In fact, even if he wants, there is no one around.
"Food! Where to get the food?" Chen Kai shook his head and thought. While he was thinking about food, others were busy with other things. Xu Fei was busy forming Berkner's local spell association, of course, he just hung a sign and then notified the headquarters of the Empire Spell Association with a special magic array. In other words, he just hung a sign and called a report now. When the report was passed, then Berkner's mage association would be included in the control of the Empire Mage Association, and then a fixed indigenous caster in the city would be assigned to establish a teleportation array. But if the application was not passed, Chen Kai had to pay for his own money to establish a teleportation array.
Of course, not only Xu Fei is doing this, but others are the same. Fei Yun also wants to report to the Thieves Association and is preparing to establish a Thieves Union in Berkner. Of course, this idea is controlled by him. Because the Thieves Association is not a kind organization. In fact, the Thieves Association is a neutral and evil organization in the game. After all, Thieves are professions living in the shadows. When the Burkner security system was not fully established, Fei Yun did not want to attract a group of Thieves to his leader's territory. Therefore, the Thieves Union established by Fei Yun is a thorough player organization, and it is only a small exchange organization that only shares local intelligence and then issues some low-level mercenary tasks or exchanges thieves' items with each other.
It can be said that organizations that are basically similar to those in the big cities are slowly being established in the entire city. The first ones are the Mercenary Guild and the Adventurer Guild. The two organizations were established on the third day after the establishment of Chen Kai's territory, but not many advanced mercenaries and adventurers came. The Mercenary Association and Adventurer Guild in the entire city are just responsible for posting tasks.
As for the temple, there is only one Temple of Pluto, and it is also the lowest church-level temple. This is the place where most players are resurrected. Chen Kai labeled the temple area and first built the Temple of Morning Light and the Temple of Life. However, there are only temples but no priests. The current priests of the Temple of Morning Light are Chen Kai and Su Wan, who are just presiding on ordinary prayers. Compared with Chen Yi's true priests, Chen Kai and Su Wan are a bit ineligible. Although the entire Hansting Temple of Morning Light has the most believers, there are too few qualified priests among the players. What makes Chen Kai depressed is that most priests are priests of the Temple of Life. As a result, the Temple of Life in Berkner Town was the first to be established and slowly emitted the divine light of the temple.
If nothing unexpected happens, Berkner's Temple of Life will become a temple that has attracted the attention of gods, which makes Chen Kaiqing, who is a part-time lord and part-time lord of the Temple of Morning Light, feels so bad. However, there are few priests in the Temple of Morning Light, and most of them are mainly inaugurated temple knights. Especially after Chen Kai, the God of Morning Light, most of the players who join the Temple of Morning Light will be mainly inaugurated knights. Basically, it is good to find a priest among the 100 players in the entire Hans Court. In addition to the lack of healing skills of the Temple of Morning Light, there is another important reason that the priests in the Temple of Morning Light are mainly combat priests, with few magicians and part-time combat priests, which are difficult for many players to accept.
