"Perhaps, I can consider giving up the construction of the city wall and directly using rock giants instead. Anyway, all the stone resources are consumed." A bold idea suddenly appeared in Chu Xin's mind, but he soon gave up.
On the one hand, the cost will be higher. The cost of a rock giant is worth the resources consumed by a city wall of more than ten meters; on the other hand, the rock giant still cannot replace the role of a city wall.
Moreover, the city wall can be upgraded after it is built, but these rock giants cannot and will be eliminated sooner or later.
Chu Xin placed these ten rock giants at the gate of the inner city to act as gatekeepers.
They are very clumsy and do not have high intelligence. They basically follow instructions. Fortunately, the territory tree can command and deploy them.
There are a lot of stone mines left in the warehouse, but the various types are so scattered that it is difficult to even collect 100 units to unlock the new stone giant illustrated book.
Chu Xin does not plan to continue to consume stone ores on the rock giants. Now that the defensive pressure on the territory is not great, there is no need to spend too many resources on such clumsy troops.
The top priority is to upgrade the territory to four stars as soon as possible and further strengthen the territory's infrastructure.
At this time, the night was already deep, almost ten o'clock in the night.
Chu Xin yawned. She didn't sleep well last night, so she had to go to bed early tonight.
However, before going to bed at night, there is still one thing to do, which is to collect all the ore mined today from the abandoned mine and free up space in the warehouse.
"Demon Town Museum"
Chu Xin got on his mount and slipped towards the abandoned mine.
On the way, he conveniently opened the silver treasure chest obtained from the stone forest.
"Successfully opened the silver treasure chest and obtained items: 2-star stone resource heart*5; Intermediate building star promotion scroll*1; Flax plantation construction drawings; Primary unit strengthening talisman*1; Spiritual book*1."
The quality of the silver treasure chest lives up to expectations every time, and this time is no exception.
From the Resource Heart alone, Chu Xin harvested five in one go. Although they only had two stars, they couldn't handle the large amount.
After the territory is now promoted to four stars, there are a total of sixteen resource point construction locations, and only seven have been built so far.
There are two Elf Gardens, one with two stars and one with seven stars respectively. There are two stone resource points, one with two stars and one with four stars.
Then there are two-star rice farmland, two-star forest farm, and one-star forest farm.
The star rating of the existing resource points is very low. Chu Xin has not been able to obtain resource hearts of the same type and quality to upgrade them. This time, he can upgrade the two-star stone mine to a three-star stone mine.
As for going further, there is no way.
Because resource hearts cannot be integrated and promoted before they are built, that is to say, these five two-star stone resource hearts cannot be integrated into higher-quality resource hearts. They can only upgrade the existing two-star resources in the territory. Stone ore resource points are upgraded.
Chu Xin built two new two-star stone mine resource points, and then used the remaining three resource hearts to upgrade them to three stars.
At this point, Chu Xin has one four-star stone resource point and three three-star stone resource points. Together with the abandoned mine, the daily output of stone resources has reached an astonishing level.
But a new problem has arisen, that is, the resource collection teams cannot keep up. The territory collection queue currently only allows two collection teams to be sent to collect resource points on the map.
One of them is permanently stationed in the Seven Star Elf Garden, and the remaining team cannot collect it at all.
Chu Xin could only allow part of the resources to be wasted for the time being. He collected it every few days in the farmland and forest farm, and only collected as much as he could from the stone mine.
He doesn't have enough exploration value now, so he has to use it sparingly.
With some anticipation, Chu Xin checked the remaining items in turn.
[Intermediate Building Random Star Upgrade Scroll]: After use, it can randomly increase the star rating of buildings below six stars in the territory.
Things are good, but with the addition of randomness, there are too many uncertainties.
Chu Xin's territory now has a large number of low-star defense towers, as well as various low-star basic buildings. It is extremely difficult to randomly place this scroll on the appropriate building.
It is also impossible for him to say that he deliberately demolished other buildings in order to increase the success rate of star-raising for a specific building.
Save it first and wait for the wave of rainbow scrolls from the rainbow spring water. It only takes a second or two to use the scroll. For one minute, it is still very generous.
During the current minute that Rainbow scrolled, Chu Xin had ten seconds left for the two troop lairs, and there was still a lot of space.
If there are rare architectural drawings to be built, then you have to say something else, because the construction of general buildings takes longer.
[Flax plantation construction drawing]: After use, a flax plantation covering an area of ten acres can be built, which requires 1 territory resource point*.
The flax plantation is Chu Xin's favorite. Flax is still a very important basic crop for the territory.
Although the current territorial cloth mill can produce a small amount of cloth every day, it is extremely scarce and can only supply a small number of people.
In addition to the clothes they brought with them, most of the residents only had animal skins. They lived in thatched huts and slept with their clothes on every day. Their living conditions were very poor.
If the Chu Xin Territory had not had certain climate regulation capabilities, a large number of its citizens would have fallen ill after the round of rain a few days ago.
If a flax plantation is established and a large amount of flax is produced, it can be made into corresponding clothing and various daily necessities, which will greatly improve the living conditions of the territorial residents.
However, the flax plantation seems a bit special. It is built in reality, but it needs to occupy a resource point.
Fortunately, there are many free spots at resource points, so Chu Xin has nothing to feel bad about.
[Elementary Arms Strengthening Talisman]: It can be used on arm nests with three stars and below to strengthen the arms corresponding to the arm nests, and there is a certain chance of awakening new talents.
This is the first time Chu Xin has seen troop strengthening props. Unfortunately, the troop types are limited to three stars and below. Currently, the only ones that can be used in the territory are skeleton leopards, ghost wolves, and skeletons.
Like the Golden Magician, although it has the right star rating, it is a dungeon type and does not have a unit nest, so it does not have the conditions for strengthening.
Otherwise, Chu Xin's most preferred target would be the Yellow Turban Magician.
After a brief hesitation, he soon made a decision in his mind, Skeleton Leopard.
The Skeleton Leopard has been widely popularized as a riding unit of the undead. It would be very meaningful if it could be further strengthened.
As for the ghost wolf, it is positioned more as a scout type unit, so there is no need to waste too much power on strengthening it.
Skeletons in the bone pile are even less necessary, unless they are skeletons that can spread to the entire bone burial ground, in which case they are somewhat necessary.
After determining the target, Chu Xin used it directly.
"Tip, if you use the primary unit strengthening talisman, the Skeleton Leopard's ability will be strengthened to a certain extent, and the speed of the natural ability will be strengthened."
The strength of the Skeleton Leopard has been directly upgraded from the original two-star LV5 to the two-star LV20. Both speed and load capacity have been further enhanced.
At the same time, he also gained the speed-enhanced talent ability, which once again increased his movement speed by 30%.
Now the speed of the Skeleton Leopard is quite exaggerated, even faster than the high-quality war horse Chu Xin has on hand. Moreover, the undead is tireless and has no endurance problem and can maintain this speed for a long time.
I don’t know how happy I will be when I know the good news on Friday. I must have noticed the difference by now.
[Spiritual Book]: A one-time strengthening item. After use, it can strengthen the spiritual attributes by 1-5 points. Limit of use per unit: 10.
The last item was a relatively rare strengthening item, and Chu Xin used it directly for herself.
"Tip, when you use the Book of Spirits, your spiritual attributes will increase by 4 points."
Although it has not reached the maximum value of 5 points, 4 points is not bad. The attribute points of free prostitution are just great.
The horse moved very slowly at night. This was partly because of the sight. Chu Xin had dark vision, but the horse did not. On the other hand, it was also because he was not impatient and did not rush too much.
So Chu Xin had just reached the middle section after opening a round of treasure chests, and was still nearly a kilometer away from the abandoned mine.
"Snapped"!
After being beaten, the horse was in pain and could no longer fish. Under the control of Chu Xin, it galloped towards the abandoned mine.
"Xu..."
In less than two minutes, Chu Xin arrived at the warehouse outside the abandoned mine.
In front of the open warehouse door, two mad lion warriors holding daggers were guarding both sides. The inside was filled with shiny magic crystals, and outside there were some ordinary ores that couldn't be piled up like a hill.
Chu Xin originally thought that there would be no big problem in storing the ore in his 3,000-square-meter warehouse for one day. Unexpectedly, in less than a day, strictly speaking, it only lasted fifteen or six hours, and it was already slowly filling up. A warehouse.
The stone ore that has been mined naturally does not need secondary processing, so Chu Xin quickly collected it one by one into his warehouse.
The stacking amount of resources is 999 units per square, and the 999-square self-contained warehouse suddenly, well, occupies more than twenty squares.
Chu Xin said there was no pressure. This large-capacity backpack was simply great.
He made a brief inventory and found that there were more than 17,000 units of ordinary stone ore, more than 3,000 units of white magic crystal, and more than 500 units of enchanted silver ore, which should be associated minerals.
White magic crystals have different qualities, ranging from one star to five stars. The difference is that the total amount of magic energy contained in a unit of ore is different.
The quality of magic silver ores is generally around four or five stars. The most important thing is that they are exactly the magic-friendly metal minerals that Chu Xin is looking for, and are one of the necessary conditions for building a camp for magic-patterned warriors.
After this condition is met, what Chu Xin needs next is to collect a large number of elemental magic cores of various series.
Unfortunately, the construction conditions have been severely restricted. These white magic crystals cannot replace the magic core, so we can only find ways to collect them.
50 five-star and above five-series magic cores are not easy to collect. The most important thing is that finding or hunting exotic beasts of this level is quite difficult.
Most of the dwarves have returned to the gathering place. The ones still working in the abandoned mines are the one hundred people Chu Xin requested and his own manpower.
One hundred people are scheduled to work every day, including day and night. As for how to take turns to rest, it is the dwarves' own business.
Bardams readily agreed to the conditions offered by Chu Xin. Dwarves had very strong endurance, and a day's work of digging was nothing to them.
And Chu Xin didn't mean that if you want to enter the mine, you have to mine 24 hours a day, and you are allowed to take breaks in between.
Generally speaking, he would not pay attention to whether the dwarves were lazy, because that would require the arrangement of supervisors, and it would also have a great impact on the dwarves' enthusiasm, which is unnecessary.
Now Chu Xin still trusts the dwarves. After all, they are not as good at sneaking and cheating as the goblins.
For him, as long as the daily output of ore can meet his expectations, he will not pay special attention to how long the dwarf rests in the middle.
Of course, if the output of ore is too little, Chu Xin will definitely find the reason. If the dwarf is really lazy and slippery, he will also have a way to cure him.
Judging from the situation on the first day, the overall situation was quite good, far exceeding Chu Xin's expectations.
There are more than 17,000 units of ordinary stone mines, and the stone mines required for territory expansion have been reduced by nearly 40%.
However, because there are too many dwarves today, and Chu Xin is not particularly clear about the specific working hours, it is not a reference. The real daily mining volume depends on tomorrow's results.
But Chu Xin estimated that all the ores added up to 10,000 units a day would definitely not be lost.
In a good mood, Chu Xin took a turn at the dwarf gathering place on the way back.
Before he arrived, he heard a loud snoring sound.
Without good wine, the nightlife of the dwarves ended quite quickly. After returning, most of them fell asleep.
We haven't seen each other for a day. The dwarves have built about twenty thatched huts here. It's still a bit reluctant for a tribe of nearly 300 people, but it's still better than sleeping in the same place last night.
Not far from the thatched hut, there was a large bonfire with a circle of dwarves sitting inside, including Bardams.
He stared blankly at the fire, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sensing the movement in the darkness, the dwarves grabbed the weapons around them, but when they saw Chu Xin coming alone, the tension immediately dissipated.
The dwarves sat down one after another, and some of them with bright heads looked behind Chu Xin's hands. After seeing that there was no wine, they inevitably showed disappointed expressions.
"Lord!" Bardams stood up and greeted after coming back to his senses. The dwarves nearby also greeted him warmly.
Chu Xin got off the horse and asked with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard today. How are you doing? Are you still getting used to it in the territory?"
"Go back to Lord Lord, it's not hard, but can you have another meal like last night?"
"It's great. It's much better than our days underground."
"Yes, I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink for a day."
…
The dwarves talked a lot. It was obvious that they were in a good mood, otherwise they wouldn't be joking like this.
"A meal like last night is no problem, but wine is difficult. After all, the territory is still in the development stage, and the food is limited. There are not many people who can make wine." Chu Xin sat down directly among the dwarves and spoke. said.
Sure enough, the dwarves all showed disappointed expressions, but they also understood that brewing something like wine was not easy.
"But -" Chu Xin looked around and saw the dwarves paying attention one after another. He paused and continued: "I can see everyone's hard work today. Although the brewing capacity of the territory is limited, the brewing capacity is limited. I can still get two barrels of wine."
He took out two barrels of barley wine from the warehouse. In an instant, the dwarves were boiling, and even the snoring was much less faint.
