Chapter 23: Territory Upgrade

"Lord Lord, what are you doing?"

Seeing Gu Mi squatting beside the big pit with a thoughtful expression, Angel couldn't help but curiously ran over with her two short legs, and looked into the pit with her head raised.

The pit was bare, except for dirt.

This made Little Angel very puzzled, and did not understand why the Lord Lord wanted to squat here to see a big hole with nothing.

"I'm thinking about what I'm going to do with this pit."

Gu Mi reached out and picked up the little dumpling at her feet, and rubbed her furry little head.

It feels good to the touch, just knead it again.

"Lord Lord?" An Qi'er raised her head ignorantly, and Gu Mi's figure was reflected in her big clear eyes.

Gu Mi looked at the self in Angel's eyes, and suddenly asked her with a smile, "Does Angela like to eat

fish?

" Yes." Gu Mi raised her head.

"But..." Angel frowned in confusion: "Grandma Rabbit said that fish and fish are fierce and can't be eaten." I

'm afraid it's not because the fish are too fierce to eat, but they can't eat it.

Gu Mi recalled those aquatic monsters that were more ferocious than the other he had seen in his previous life, and muttered to himself in his heart.

However, being reminded by the little girl, she also realized that this big pit is actually not very suitable for raising fish.

The water source is one reason. Self-digging ponds for fish need to introduce live water, or use an oxygenator to give oxygen to the fish. Just change the water every once in a while, otherwise the fish will suffocate in the water.

In addition, all kinds of bait have to be prepared for the fish, and there will be many problems in the breeding process. This project is too vast for Gu Mi, a new territory that is currently in short supply of resources and manpower. Not suitable.

And another important point is that they already have a river. Due to the lack of natural enemies, the river fish in the river are many, enough to supply their territory, and even more than enough.

Of course, the premise is that you can beat the ferocious aquatic monsters in the river, but this is not a big problem for Gu Mi.

If it's too much of a hindrance, just salvage it all and eat it.

The meat of the aquatic monster is more delicious and nutritious than ordinary seafood.

So in the case of a natural 'item' of the same kind, their territory does not need to be laboriously reorganized.

Regrettably crossed out the option of [Fish Pond] in his head, Gu Mi called up the lord authority panel, and his eyes fell on the "upgrade territory".

She can't think of what to do with this pit for the time being, so she can only leave it at first, but her territory is too small, and now a lot of places are occupied by the big pit, which makes it very inconvenient for the residents to travel. They all had to take a detour, so Gu Mi planned to upgrade the territory first, and then see what to do after the territory was expanded.

Do it when you think of it!

Gu Mi immediately pressed the "Territory Upgrade" button.

"Ding, congratulations to the lord Gu Mi for reaching the conditions for upgrading the territory. After deducting the 1,000 copper upgrade fee, the territory starts to upgrade: 1%...31%...66%..."

As the progress bar progressed, the entire territory seemed to be pressed for time. The fast-forward button, the rumbling sound is endless, and everything in front of me begins to undergo earth-shaking changes very quickly. I saw that the wooden fence walls that originally surrounded the entire territory began to expand and extend wildly. At this moment, they turned into some kind of translucent and nothingness, which easily penetrated countless plants, rocks, and even various life forms. And domineeringly enlarged and lengthened this small territory, and encircled it. Except for the walls, all buildings in the territory are upgraded accordingly. The "primary village affairs center" in the shape of a one-story log cabin has become an "intermediate village affairs center" in the shape of a two-story log cabin, which not only adds an extra floor, but also doubles its footprint.

Just looking at it from the outside, you can see that the space inside is much more spacious than before.

Residential houses have also changed from primary to advanced.

But instead of increasing the number of floors, the area was expanded.

If you really want to describe it specifically, it is to expand from one room and one living room to two rooms and one living room, which can accommodate more people.

The warehouse has also been upgraded to an intermediate level.

The storage capacity of the upgraded warehouse directly soars to 1,000 grids, and each grid of items of the same type can be stacked up to a maximum of 10,000, and it has a certain preservation effect on fresh food.

It's like storing in a refrigerator crisper.

Fresh food can extend the shelf life by a day or two.

This is only the function of the warehouse when it is upgraded to the intermediate level. If it can be upgraded to a higher level, what will it look like?

Thinking of this, even Gu Mi couldn't help but look forward to it.

The final change is farmland.

The area of the farmland did not change at all, but Gu Mi saw a golden buff from above it.

"Intermediate farmland: 20% more yield, 20% shorter crop growth cycle, automatic pest control."

What a big surprise!

"...100%, the territory has been upgraded, rewarded with intermediate treasure chest*1, primary residential blueprint*1, primary arena blueprint*1, primary farmland*6, copper coins*5000."

When all the vibrations finally stopped, a virtual screen automatically unfolded in front of Gu Mi.

The top is the territory information refreshed after completing the upgrade.

"Intermediate village (unnamed)

Area: 400m*400m

Population: 24/200

Tax: The initial default value is 15%, which can be adjusted by the lord.

Building: Primary Territory Defense Array*1, Intermediate Village Affairs Center*1, Intermediate Warehouse*1, Intermediate Farmland*6, Intermediate Wooden Fence*1, Intermediate Residence*2

Resources: Omitted.

Assets: 210 copper coins. "

"Ding, warm reminder: Are you naming an unnamed territory?" "

Maybe she thinks that Gu Mi has upgraded the territory to an intermediate-level village, but it's a bit too much to give the territory a good name so far, and even the system can't help but remind her.

In fact, if the system does not remind her, Gu Mi may really be... I ca

n't think of this one.

No way, she has been busy since she became a lord, and she doesn't have time to think about the name of her territory.

Now that the system reminds me, Gu Mi touches it with one hand Chin, Zhuang Ruo thought about it for less than three seconds, and then said: "How about it's called 'Hope', it's a bit vulgar, but this name looks full of hope. "

And in this gradually collapsing world, hope is the most precious thing.

"Ding, are you sure that the 'nameless' territory will be renamed the 'hope' territory? "

"Yes. Gu Mi replied without hesitation.

"Ding, the name change was successful. "

At the moment when the system prompt sounded, the residents who were still immersed in the shock of the sudden and huge changes in the territory knew the new name of their territory for the first time.

"Hope?" Also good. "

Avery was the first to recover from the miraculous shock just now, and immediately went to look for Lord Lord.

The territory was upgraded, and there will be a lot of busyness next. He has to go there in time so that he can Help the lord.

When he arrived, Gu Mi had just recovered from a pile of updated information. The moment she saw Avery, she didn't even think about it, and ordered: "Avery, put on the equipment. , follow me to clean up World of Warcraft. "

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Ivory took orders respectfully.

Soon, a beautiful girl with a blood-colored machete and a young man with a double hammer appeared outside a beast's lair.

They did not fight immediately, but the young man stepped forward first to expel the monsters inside.

If Warcraft is willing to leave the expanded territory, then both parties will be at peace with each other, at least for today, they will not take the initiative to harm it.

And if the beasts were unwilling to leave and attacked them, then a battle would be inevitable.

...

and cut off the head of a demon beast mercilessly, Gu Mi's wrist trembled slightly, wiped off the blood stained on the blade, and then released a god-level perception, covering the entire territory, and carried out an all-round carpet-style investigation.

After about a minute or two, she failed to get the slightest feedback from her perception that there was any demon beast, so she took back her talent and announced the end of today's battle.

"The clean-up of the demon beasts is over, let's go back to rest today."

"Yes, Lord."

Not only Avery, but also Tu Xiaosi and two other territorial people with stronger bodies responded.

They were called Gero and Jace, and they were a pair of young brothers.

This pair of brothers is the second of the people who came to Gumi's territory with Avery. They used to be butchers. They have a lot of strength, and they also know how to kill monsters quickly and effectively.

When he saw that the lord was leading someone to clean up the magical beasts in the territory, he volunteered to follow.

In order for the two of them to have a certain combat effectiveness, Gu Mi also randomly lent them some white-level equipment from his inventory.

But now the equipment has become theirs.

Lord Lord said that this is their reward.

Gu Mi is never stingy when it comes to contributing to the territory.

Hurry up, and finally cleared all the monsters in the territory within a day, and Gu Mi, who had ensured the safety of the people, could not drag her exhausted body back to the village affairs center until now.

She hasn't looked at where her upgraded room is.

At night, there are still many people gathered in the hall of the village affairs center.

The heavy snow outside stopped after the elemental elves were wiped out by Gu Mi and others. There was a bright sunny day during the day, which melted some of the snow, but the temperature did not recover, and it was still about minus ten degrees.

It's colder now at night.

Gu Mi estimated that it might be minus twelve or three degrees now.

At this temperature, the residents who have no houses to live in can only temporarily settle down in the hall of the village affairs center, wrapped in animal skins, and huddled together to keep warm.

Fortunately, with the upgrade of the village affairs center, its area has become much larger, and the hall is also enlarged, so that the people who are squeezed inside can stretch their bodies a little.

It's not like last night, they can only sit and squeeze together, sleep half asleep with difficulty, and there is not even a place to lie down, so that the mental state of many residents is not very good the next day.

Of course, there was also the reason why the battle last night was so loud.

Thinking of last night's battle, Gu Mi stepped into the footsteps of the village affairs center just now, and then turned around and walked towards the residence.

She seems to remember that in the battle last night, Tu Xiaosi and Avery were both seriously injured?

But why do they look like nothing today?

It was because they acted so normal that Gu Mi ignored the fact that they had just been seriously injured the night before.
