Having an NPC means having a labor force, but if she wants to 'use' these labor forces, she also needs to be equipped with relevant tools and construction resources.
For example, she must build 'residential houses' to take in these wandering NPCs.
NPCs may not be well fed, poorly clothed, or poorly housed... but they must have a place to live.
If there is no place to live, even if the wandering NPC voluntarily joins the territory, it will not be able to join for some reason.
Don't ask, the question is about game restrictions, in order to prevent players from unlimitedly brushing NPC favorability to achieve the purpose of accommodating a large number of NPCs.
Not to mention hosting so many NPCs at once, the game server cannot bear such a large amount of data, but judging from the strange behavior of some players, this continent should be the first to be unable to bear it.
Do you want to know about the fourth disaster?
Although there are many aspects of this digital world that are different from the original game, Su You doesn't think this restriction will be lifted.
The materials used to build residential houses are ten wooden boards, which is...a full one hundred and twenty pieces of wood.
Suyou suddenly felt that her hands chopping down the tree were shaking slightly...
Although lord players can collect resources, compared with other characters, the efficiency of lord players in collecting resources is subject to a certain correction, and this correction is still downward.
Because their correct way to play the game should be to recruit NPCs, let NPCs cut down trees, let NPCs mine, let NPCs collect food...
So Su You's physical strength dropped sharply after cutting down a few trees at random, or she entered a state of exhaustion after cutting down a few trees at random... This is really not her problem, it's because the character's own strength has been weakened.
She will prepare to build the bulletin board soon, which means that tomorrow morning at the latest, the first batch of wandering NPCs should be refreshed.
In order to ensure the speed of development (to prevent luck factors from affecting the game experience), the first batch of NPCs will inevitably be refreshed within 12 hours of building the bulletin board to join. As for how many of these NPCs there are, and what their circumstances are, this is random. .
But Su You has no way to build residential houses now, not even before tomorrow morning, because it will be night soon... Oh, no, it is already night now.
Perhaps because construction and production took too much time, Su You didn't notice the passage of time at all, and because of the fire in the heart of the city, Su You didn't even notice that the sky had darkened.
Su You looked up at the sky, and then took out two prepared wooden boards from the workbench.

…
[Obtain roasted berries*2]
Suyou was eating sweet and sour roasted berries to replenish her hunger while looking through the building list.
Although she currently has no way to take in homeless NPCs by building residential houses, she still has a way to make these NPCs available for her own use.
It just requires giving something.
After finishing the two servings of roasted berries, Suyou drank a glass of water—the water was collected from the nearby stream when she was collecting berries.
Otherwise, the territory must be placed where there is a water source, because then she does not have to make berry juice that wastes hunger points to replenish water.
Not only is daily drinking water convenient, but it is also convenient to irrigate farmland when constructing farmland later.
But having said that, although the territory is suitable for placement in a place with a water source, the temporary settlement is not suitable for placement in such a place.
Because there is a lot of moisture near the water source, the soil is also very humid, and the temperature is lower at night. If you rest in such an environment, there is a high probability that you will get some debuffs.
And this water is not actually drinkable directly. It must be boiled before drinking, otherwise the probability of a state similar to diarrhea or infection is not small.
Since there is a house in the territory to live in and no one sleeps on the floor, there is no need to worry about heavy humidity and low temperature.
And because of the existence of the City Center Fire... to be precise, because of the existence of the Flame Stone, preparing hot water is not a waste of fuel or kindling for the City Center Fire that burns 24 hours a day.
Theoretically, the fire in the heart of the city can burn infinitely. After all, it is not just a bunch of flames, it also symbolizes the life and death of a territory.
With the blessing of the flame stone, the fire in the heart of the city can burn for a long time with only a little fuel.
…
"Finally found it." Su You's eyes lit up, then she clicked on the building's information and started browsing.
After confirming that although the name had been changed, it was indeed the former task bar, Su You directly began to synthesize the materials and prepare for production.
After the materials were made, Su You placed the building next to the bulletin board.
[Do you want to consume 2 wooden planks to build a bounty board? 】
[Under construction: Bounty board, estimated time: 5 minutes]
Bounty board (task bar): A place used to publish and receive bounty tasks. It can be merged with the task hall. (Note: When the territory reaches the 'intermediate camp', system tasks are unlocked and refreshed. System tasks can only be received by the lord, and the rewards are provided by the system; bounty tasks posted by players can be received by any NPC, and the rewards are provided by the players themselves.)
System tasks?
What the hell is this? !
Su You was initially surprised that the name on the taskbar had been changed, but it became even more strange after she saw the note.
In the past, the taskbar had only one function, which was to publish tasks/receive tasks.
The city lord player releases tasks for wandering NPCs or city residents to collect. The city lord player can collect resources in this way, but since it is a task, there must be a reward, so it can be regarded as spending money to buy resources.
In addition, in the later stages of the game, when the development of the territory improves, not only players can issue tasks, but also residents of the territory can issue tasks, as long as they can afford the rewards.
But now there is actually an additional system task...
Or is it a system mission that can only be taken by players...
Su You was very confused, but since the materials remained unchanged and the functions she needed did not change, she still built this task board... It should be called a bounty board now.
It was also five minutes, but because of curiosity, Su You felt that these five minutes were quite long.
Since there was nothing to do now, Su You simply took out the tavern card, and then walked around the territory, gesticulating everywhere.
She is measuring distance.
The reason why we didn't start placing the tavern as soon as we came up was also because of the distance.
In order to facilitate construction, there are some functions such as grid drawing or automatic alignment in the game, but there is none here.
Suyou had already discovered this problem when she placed the first bonfire.
