There are more and more banshees living in the manor, or more specifically in the courtyard.
The magic factors they brought greatly enriched the output of the entire Hamlet Town. Banshees are somewhat similar to dragons. The output of the plots they brought often improved the output of the surrounding crops, thereby generating some special materials. This makes the collectors increasingly happy.
The materials produced by the Banshee Land are in demand in various fields...
And there is no need to risk going out to the town to collect. You only need to pretend to be unintentional and wander around the land near the manor to collect these outputs. This is such an economical method. According to legend, there is a banshee that can even randomly generate veins of crystals and gemstones around her every day... But that is just a legend, and even Sonia can't tell whether it exists.
But that doesn’t stop Melina from pestering Sonia to find out about this story…
…
"I said it."
Sonia had a headache, "The point of my rebirth was actually the middle to early stage of spiritual energy recovery, or whether it was the middle stage or the early stage. I can't confirm, but it was true that a lot of ecology was changed at that time."
"But you told this story..."
"Stories are just stories. There are many weird stories in the era of spiritual energy recovery. We can think that many of the stories spread among banshee families are true, because it is possible that this kind of family was founded by those banshees who returned from the future to the past. Yes, they are sleeping in various areas waiting for the arrival of future nodes to wake them up. Those banshees called awakeners are the legend itself."
Sonia was eating breakfast, looking at the documents, and said to Melina:
"Xiaomei, our current important goal is to get rid of the sea dragon! If it blocks the sea routes from Hamlet Town, Haven and Innsmouth, it will be a big deal. As for the legend, there is no need to get it done yet. .”
Breakfast was eaten in a tent in the courtyard, Lao Ma's tent.
It is placed in the middle of the courtyard and is powered by a banshee plot with 2 fire, 1 earth, 1 wind and 2 water. Inside is a complete kitchen and a complete large dining room, which can accommodate the banshees and even the clockwork cats. You can serve it to the table and eat and drink together. When the dishes are transported to the middle of the table through the food delivery conveyor belt, a transparent light curtain composed of magic factors will rise at each place, showing the dishes and remaining amounts. Click on it and it will be automatically distributed through magic.
Very nice and convenient design.
It’s just that Lao Ma is very heartbroken. She spent money to buy it from the system, but she didn't know where she bought the system from. Her system seemed unable to provide products beyond the existing technology.
Currently dining here are Lao Ma, Cat Genaros and Clockwork Orange Cat, while Melina stays here to eat dessert.
The elf cook and the other clockwork cat cook were arguing about the dishes and so on in the kitchen.
Seeing that no one was asking, Sonia continued:
"You guys did a good job of taking care of that dragon. The roads in Liangpu Town will be repaired today, and I have to let G keep an eye on it..."
"Will G go?"
"She knows how. I offered a high price of 5 gold lei."
The daily salary is 500, and you are my brother.
Miss G is also a good succubus. The other succubus received 900 gold lei, and she should have opened the tenth bottle of wine with the elves today, drinking and spending heavily. But she's still making money!
"There is something strange happening at the beach. I suspect that a nest of sea deer dragons has come here and is eating the local Dagon clams crazily. This is not okay. This is one of our pillar industries and must be protected. I am going to let... Lao Ma!" I’ll take you to the path to have a look later, and grab any solo explorers on the way to form a team!”
Old Ma, who was chewing pasta, gave a thumbs up.
Sonia seems to want to tell Melina the whole Explorer's Guild thing.
But after saying that, Melina already frowned.
"Xiaomei." Sonia ate the cheese bread and bacon and eggs in three gulps, clapped her hands and said, "I can see a little bit of dissatisfaction on your face. Are you still satisfied with my arrangement?" Doubtful? Have new ideas?"
"a little bit."
Melina couldn't wait to ask, "What about the development of Hamlet Town? This is probably our base camp, isn't it?"
She saw a subtle hint of embarrassment on Sonia's face.
Is not it?
Just as she was thinking this, Sonia spoke:
"Of course it is our base camp, but development must follow a natural law... I built it a road connecting the town, and also had people build street lights here, and I also tried to build better roads in Hamlet Town... What does it want if this continues? ?What else do you want? I even found them a very capable consignee and set up a market near the Gatherers' Guild."
Sonia has done enough.
But she obviously only dealt with it out of the situation of "this place can be used temporarily". The purpose of building roads is to increase the speed of explorers' departure, and to build street lights and improve traffic in the town is to allow explorers to visit Hamlet at night. The middle activities and the final market are also to enhance the town’s attractiveness to explorers.
It can be said that Sonia's improvements to Hamlet Town certainly make local residents happy, but most of their purpose is to attract explorers.
Melina thought that it was definitely not enough to attract people. If a town wanted to have more combat power reserves, it must be a 'livable' city.
"I think explorers come and explorers go. The explorers are very satisfied buying and selling things here, and then they take the gold lei and return to the bustling metropolis where they are drunk and sleepy. There are not enough people to deal with things here."
Melina decided to impress Sonia from this point.
It’s no good if you can’t keep people!
Sonia was silent for a moment and touched her chin: "So?"
"So if we want to make a small town that can retain people, we must first rectify the hotel and approve a fund for reconstruction."
Melina was quite impressed by the hotel where Sonia used to threaten her.
Although the local food produced is very good, the quality of the hotel is too average. Even explorers who come here temporarily can easily check out and go to West Hamlet to find an open space to make do with it.
"Well……"
Sonia thought for a moment, "It makes sense. It's true. Several teams I hired said that the hotel here is too bad. I originally wanted to stay here and make more materials to sell, but because of the accommodation environment, If it’s too bad, just go to Innsmouth...or live in Haven, explore and open up nearby, and only come to Hamlet Town once in a while.”
"There is also the matter of shopping malls. If we can attract a group of banshees to come here and open various processing factories, if there is a super shopping mall, this place will definitely be more attractive."
"Shopping mall." Sonia took out a small notebook and wrote it down, then muttered, "Indeed, some banshees would rather die in society than come here. To a large extent, it is because this place is not convenient enough... Hmm, I understand. Got it."
"at last."
Melina glanced at Sonia's face and said, "Don't you think it's difficult to get in and out of the Weeping Peninsula? It's too steep and rugged to take the land route, and it's not easy even for the Dragon Turtle to drive up there. It's necessary to take the sea route. We disembarked at Innsmouth and had to walk the rugged mountain road again.”
"so?"
"So wouldn't it be a good idea to build a bridge that makes it easy to get in and out? It would make it easy to get in and out, and it would be convenient to transport supplies out."
Melina made her own suggestion.
"Okay, I'll consider it."
Sonia was like every calm person, saying nothing but thinking quietly.
…
After Melina finished her breakfast, she was dragged to help by Lao Ma. Although Sonia said that Lao Ma and Xiaolu should find a solo player to solve the task together, Lao Ma is not stupid.
If you have a father, don’t you need it?
If there is a frame, you won’t hit it?
You don’t want to play Ruins of Eridu in Diablo 4? Do we have to wait for Sima Blizzard to hot patch to fix it?
There is no such truth.
With Xiaomei on board, everyone is relaxed.
Xiaolu has silently replaced all the magic factors with auxiliary props.
The fact is as expected by Maria. She doesn't panic when encountering a monster. She raises one index finger and says, "Xiao Mei fights alone." She raises two fingers, "I'll pull away and let Xiaomei fight alone." Xiaomei's singles, in short, relying on singles tactics, easily defeated Hai Lulong. Due to Melina's amazing hit rate, all the bullets hit the eyes of level 1 dragons like Sea Deer Dragon. The most precious deer-shaped dragon horns were not damaged at all, so they gained a lot.
However, Melina kept a pair of deer-shaped dragon horns because she urgently asked Sonia to help subscribe to the weekly magazine "Weekly Outfitting, From Hunting Novice to Master" mentioned that the horns of the sea deer dragon can be used. Let’s make a helmet called [Blue Deer Head]. This helmet has magic factor capabilities that are very suitable for shooters. It can increase the reloading speed and so on.
More importantly, it has the special ability of 'Bullet Retaliation Shield', that is, after the bullet is fired and causes damage, the dragon horn will automatically guide the damage value, improve its defense, and form a convenient energy shield.
For Melina, the energy shield is not important, but the important thing is that the energy shield also provides additional movement speed.
The average gunner does not insist on movement speed, because no matter how fast the speed is, it only increases the speed of changing positions. But Meimei is different. Meimei is really a nomadic play style...well, a nomadic play style of Mongolia, not a nomadic play style of the deputy goat. Her speed is a completely positive attribute. The faster she runs, the less monsters can do to her.
Melina has also reached the point where she needs to constantly upgrade her equipment.
After completing a commission, I received my hard-earned 5 gold lei. She clearly felt that the income she wanted was not these.
When she went back, she was about to ask Sonia if she had any high-income commissions.
Sonia dragged her with excitement and wanted to go to Innsmouth with her.
"What are you doing there?"
"There is a construction team of fishmen there, we just need them to build the bridge!"
