Chapter 98 Camp Establishment

There is a large wasteland around the lonely mountain, without any vitality, full of charred tree stumps and dry land.

According to records, this place was once a green field, full of vitality, until the arrival of the evil dragon, which burned the entire green field with flames, permanently changing the terrain here.

Since then, this area has been called the 'Smaug Wasteland'.

"Help, help... Is there anyone..."

At this moment, in this wasteland, there is a fat man lying on the ground gasping for breath, crawling forward little by little.

That is the former mayor of Long Lake Town.

"Please, anyone can give me some water or food, I can give you all the treasures on my body... I can give you half..."

"Is there anyone——"

The mayor kept shouting, but the only response to him was the occasional cool breeze.

"Ah——!!"

He used up his last strength to let out a miserable roar.

The former mayor and his treasures stayed in this wasteland forever.

He died painfully in the torture of hunger, quietly and unknown to others.

When he decided to abandon the townspeople, wasn't he also deciding to abandon himself?

No one cared about the former mayor, and he had long been forgotten.

At this moment.

In front of the wall of the roadside fort, Levi looked at the group of refugees in front of him and scratched his head.

"I went out for a long time and haven't been back for some time."

"It looks like you have been here for a while."

"Yes, sir, we arrived at the beginning of autumn this year."

An old man stood up and said, "The Misty Mountains are too dangerous. We dare not climb the pass and can only take a long way around."

"I have some impression of you."

"If I remember correctly, you are their village chief?"

"Yes." The old village chief replied.

Levi looked behind him.

"I remember there should be more than these people in your village. Where are the others?"

"They left."

The village chief replied: "We passed by many relatively stable villages and towns. Some people did not want to walk such a long way, so they left the team to live in those places."

"The rest of them would rather give up the comfortable life in those places to come to you."

"Okay."

Levi nodded and recognized these people.

"Since I pointed out the way for you, and you found this place according to my instructions-then you are welcome to join, uh, join Lubianbao."

The crowd immediately cheered and shouted the name of the lord of Lubianbao.

"Follow me."

A group of people walked towards the city gate under the leadership of Levi.

The old village chief wanted to remind Levi that there seemed to be no one inside, and the city gate did not seem to be designed to be opened, but after thinking about it, this was someone else's territory, maybe it was just his short-sightedness, so he didn't say much in the end.

Click.

Levi put down the lever and opened the iron door on the side.

"Come in from here."

Mechanism...?

Well, this is still within the scope of understanding. There are traps on the gates of many towns.

But as the refugees gradually poured into the city, someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"I have never seen such a beautiful place in my life."

The village chief who was walking in front shook his head and couldn't help sighing.

He has lived in the river valley all his life and has not traveled too far. The most beautiful scenery he has seen is the river reflecting the red glow under the sunset.

Where have you seen such a complex scenery.

There are only cold and smooth walls outside the city. The long and endless walls block everything inside and prevent people outside from observing.

But after entering, you will find the warmth and dream inside.

Yes, dream.

Neat paths, lights that will not go out, bright flowers and clear pools, beautiful houses everywhere and a big castle in the middle...

There are livestock walking in the fences, but they don't need people to take care of them. The full and abundant crops are planted there one by one, as if they will never wither.

It was a huge city, but there was no one inside. There were only some tall and friendly iron golems, who handed over flowers to people when they approached.

A little girl in a woman's arms reached out to take the flower, raised it happily and said, "Mom, is this the castle in the story you told me?"

"No, child."

She kissed the girl on the forehead and said, "Mom can't tell such a good story."

"I, what should we do, sir..."

The old village chief seemed a little at a loss. The environment here was too good, so good that it was a little unreal.

He asked carefully:

"Can we really live here?"

"Houses are built for people to live in."

Levi turned around and said, "This is where you will live in the future."

But as soon as these words came out, the refugees felt even more uneasy.

In the end, it was the village chief who stood up again and asked, "Sir, I want to know what we can do?"

Most of these people were farmers who only knew how to farm.

But looking at the appearance of this territory, it seems that they don't need to work at all. Take those iron golems for example. They look stronger than ten people combined. They are definitely better than them in harvesting wheat or carrying things.

The old village chief really couldn't figure out what else these people could do if they stayed here. Would they just eat rice all day?

People always have to show their value.

"This——"

Levi also realized the key to the problem.

Yes, what can the people do?

I don't lack anything here, so should I let them be idle for life?

[The number of residents has reached the standard, and the conditions for establishing a camp are met. ]

Levi opened the camp system, and only this prompt came into his eyes.

It seems that some functions will be opened only after the establishment of the camp.

But there is one thing about the establishment of the camp that has always troubled Levi, so much so that he has dragged it on until now.

That is the name of the camp.

Naming difficulty has come up.

The first territory was called Roadside Castle because it was built on the roadside, and the second territory, River Valley City, was an existing name. Now I have to think of a new camp name myself...

Should it be called Roadside Camp?

Naming is a sophisticated knowledge.

Throughout the entire Middle-earth, no camp name is casual.

For example, the valley-Rivendell, the meaning of this word is "torn valley", which just fits the terrain there.

For example, the Golden Forest - Lothlórien, in the language of the elves, means "a dreamland with blooming flowers", which is also in line with the terrain characteristics.

Then the question is.

Levi opened the camp map and took a look.

A roadside fort, on the plains west of the Misty Mountains, with flowers blooming and beautiful scenery.

There is also a river valley city, built in the mountains east of the Black Forest.

According to the terrain of these two territories, should his camp be called Ravenlórien or Lothdell?

If these two names are really used, I am afraid that two elf lords will come to visit the next day.

Levi shook his head and finally entered a few words on it.

"Free City."

[Camp: 'Free City' was successfully established]

Let's do it this way first, anyway, the camp name is not impossible to change.

One will be used for now.

[Free City-State Faction Reputation Opened]

[Free City-State Reputation: ∞]

[Landlord System Opened]

[Landlord Reputation Opened]

[Permission Management System Opened]

As soon as the camp was established, a series of prompts popped up, which dazzled Levi.

"You take a rest first, I have something to do and will be back later."

After saying goodbye to the refugees, Levi found a quiet place and read various instructions.

First, the reputation of the camp.

Just like Levi can see his reputation in other camps, now Levi can also see the reputation of others in his own camp.

For example, the refugees who are resting at the city gate now have a reputation of 0 points, which means that they have neither done anything harmful to their camp nor done anything beneficial.

This is an extremely strong supervision system. Anyone who has made contributions will never be buried for what he has done, but will be accurately reflected in the camp reputation.

Similarly, if you do something harmful to the camp, it will never be ignored.

After the reputation system is turned on, the next thing is permission management.

Permission management involves some fundamental aspects of the mc system.

Here, Levi can create a "class", set the conditions for joining this "class", and open certain permissions for this "class". The number of permissions is linked to the reputation value. The more reputation, the more permissions can be opened.

For example, Levi can now set up a "resident" class. The condition for joining is that the reputation value reaches 10 points. After becoming a resident, you can use tools with mc characteristics and unlock the permission to synthesize certain tools on the workbench.

Very useful.

If this system is used well, the development of the territory can even achieve a certain degree of automation.

These are the main functions of the camp system.

In addition, there are data statistics and other things. For example, there are 203 people waiting at the city gate now, which saves Levi the time to count himself.

After thinking about it, Levi set the first initial position.

[Tourist]

Required reputation: 0.

'Tourists' can use wooden tools to work in the territory to increase the reputation of the camp.

This is the maximum privilege that can be opened with 0 reputation points. Levi can't open more even if he wants to.

When the two conditions of "reputation value reaches 10 points" and "swearing to join the camp" are met, [tourists] can continue to be promoted.

The next level of tourists is [residents], which means that they can be employed with 10 reputation points. [Residents] can unlock the use of workbenches and synthesize more advanced stone tools on them.

In addition, after becoming a resident, you can also synthesize and use boxes-except Levi's. The box of the lord of the territory is locked to others by default, and only he allows others to open it.

"That's it for now"

After setting two reputation levels, Levi temporarily closed the camp interface and went to the city gate to organize refugees.

As Levi approached, the refugees who were resting immediately stood up and focused their eyes on him.

Levi looked at the group of people and said loudly:

"Don't worry, there are many things for you to do here. The development of the territory needs your help."

"But now, I think the most important thing should be to fill my stomach and have a place to live."

The current condition of this group of refugees can't be said to be very good. When I glanced over, I couldn't see anyone who was relatively healthy. They all looked like they had been hungry for a long time.

In such a state, it is definitely impossible to concentrate on production, and you need to cultivate yourself first.

After thinking about it, Levi placed a large table in the square and brought several groups of bread to pile on it.

Then, issued his first command:

"Get food here, take as much as you can, and then choose a house as a family."

After speaking, Li Wei approached the old village chief among the crowd.

"Do you have any orders, Lord?"

Seeing Li Wei coming, the old village chief immediately stopped and waited seriously for Li Wei's next words.

"You have heard the instructions I just gave, right? I will leave these to you in advance. There is a lot of bread, so you can take it as you like. Those houses are all unoccupied, so you can choose whatever you want."

"After you finish these things, you come to the castle to find me. I still need help with some things."

"I obey your orders."

The old village chief bowed and began to organize the crowd.

Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

Needless to say, it is much easier to have someone with good organizational skills help.

Seeing the refugees starting to collect bread and looking for shelter in an orderly manner, Levi also returned to the castle and started packing his backpack.

Now there is no space left in Levi's backpack, which is full of various dropped items and precious materials, such as dragon heart, dragon blood, dragon scales and the like.

Smaug's size is so huge that he drops a lot of items.

What Levi brought back was only a small part of the more important materials, and he kept more in boxes in the territory of River Valley City, waiting to be picked up when the hell passage was built.

Just as Levi packed his backpack and spent some time packing his boxes.

The old village chief came to find him.

"Sir, the matter has been completed. Do you have any other instructions?"

"Follow me."

Li Wei synthesized a set of wooden tools and put them in his backpack, and took the old village chief to the vegetable field.

"Take this."

He handed the wooden hoe to the village chief.

"Try using this to collect food."

The village chief held a wooden hoe in his hand. Looking left and right, he felt that this thing did not look like a useful thing, but after all, it was an order given by the lord, so he had no choice but to obey it.

Although he is old, the village chief can walk this far for free. At least he still has the strength to swing a hoe.

Crack.

As soon as the hoe came down, the old village chief looked at a few carrots on the ground, his eyes widened, and he was a little doubtful about life.

"Did I see it wrong? It, it fell out on its own?"

Yes, it just fell out.

"You read that right, this is what the food here is like."

"Just think that this place has been enchanted. Everything in the territory is magical."

"Magic? I understand, my lord."

Although the surface was calm, at this moment, the old village chief's heart was actually exploding.

'Our lord is a wizard with powerful magic! ’

There is hope for this day all at once.

Our group of people crossed over swamps and wastelands, overcoming numerous obstacles and temptations to come here unswervingly, not just to find refuge with a reliable lord.

Obviously, it seems now that this choice was the right one.

There are not a few lords in this world who are powerful and can use magic, but most of them are elves.

A few other parts are either related to elves or have been buried in history.

For example - the Ringwraiths. In the past, the holders of the Nine Rings of mankind used the rings to obtain powerful power. One of them specialized in various magics and became a well-known wizard who ruled an area.

But even if there is a precedent in history, it is based on the old almanac.

There is only one human lord who can use magic that can be seen now.

"Now pick up the carrot and plant it."

The old village chief did as he was told, and soon a green sprout grew on the moist cultivated land, which surprised him from ear to ear.

"Well, it seems that planting can be carried out normally."

After testing the vegetable field, Li Wei took the old village chief to the pasture to try feeding, and then took him to cut wood and dig stones...

It is different from Levi's model. The stones knocked down by the old village chief did not directly become dropped objects. Instead, they were dug out from their original places, cut off from the original place, and made easy to carry.

Only when the old village chief throws the stone onto the funnel, or the stone is touched by Levi, will it become a normal drop and be sucked away.

And if instead of throwing it into the funnel, you choose to 'place', the stone will return to its original shape, as if it was originally growing on the ground and needs to be dug with a pickaxe before the connection can be cut off again.

This feature may be a bit complicated to understand, but in fact it can be summed up in one sentence——

That is one more item slot that cannot be stacked.

This feature also only takes effect within the territory.

At this moment, after following Levi for a lap of testing, the old village chief was already numb.

The experience before him was so bizarre that he even wondered if he was still sleeping in a shabby tent outside the city wall, but he hadn't woken up yet.

The problem is that you need material to dream. Not to mention, I still have a rich imagination at my age.

'It's best never to wake up...'

The old village chief thought so.

On Li Wei's side, he began to summarize.

Grow vegetables, raise animals, dig rocks, chop wood.

Produce food and basic building materials

This is what [tourists] can do now, and it is also the channel for them to become formal residents.
