Chapter 143: Territory Technology, Crazy Dave (Thanks to the sleepless Lord of the Night for the song!)_1
Translator: 549690339
The City Hall’s tech tree is divided into three main modules: [Technology], [Culture], and [Military].
The [Technology] module has the most research projects, ranging from ancient stone tools and ironware to modern gunpowder, artillery, nuclear fusion, and nanotechnology, to na but a few.
The [Culture] module allows for the unlocking of so entertainnt buildings, improving the livability of the territory, and fostering the cohesion and cultural confidence of the residents.
The [Military] module is used mainly to counter foreign invaders. It allows for the unlocking of war buildings, the recruitnt of armies, and the enhancent of military combat power.
Of course, technology is the foundation of culture and military. Without strong technological support, robust culture and military are impossible. Many of the research projects in the [Culture] and [Military] modules require [Technology] as a prerequisite.
Therefore, the primary focus of territorial research is the [Technology] module.
Open the [Technology] module.
Right now, Su Yu can only research three topics:
[Livestock]: Gives your subjects the ability to raise livestock, granting building blueprints for [Livestock Farm] and [Slaughterhouse]. Consus 1 gold, research ti: 8 hours.
[Irrigation]: Enables your subjects to utilize water resources for efficient irrigation, granting building blueprints for [Wells] and [Granaries]. Consus 1 gold, research ti: 8 hours.
[tallurgy]: Allows your subjects to extract iron ore and make iron implents, granting building blueprints for [Mining Field] and [Blacksmith’s Shop]. Consus 1 gold, research ti: 8 hours.
All three projects must be completed to unlock subsequent technologies in the tech tree.
After so thought, Su Yu decided to research [Irrigation] first, since his territory was close to the river, and researching [Irrigation] would yield the highest returns.
Once chosen, a progress bar appeared in the [Irrigation] research project column. It was currently at 0% and would require eight hours to complete.
Su Yu wasn’t in a hurry. The technology had been given enough ti to evolve, and he only needed to sound the alarm and enter the tech upgrade line on ti.
After clicking on the technology, Su Yu left [City Hall].
Besides clicking on the technology, there was nothing else he needed to do in the territory.
The developnt of low-level territories was simple, all it took was maintaining livability and prosperity, and ensuring high population growth.
Moreover, with Swift and steward Kole helping manage within the territory, Su Yu didn’t have to worry too much.
After a brief inspection of the territory, he instructed Swift and Kole on so managent details and then left the territory.
He now had one and a half hours to spare before Tina’s 7th loop began, so Su Yu decided to negotiate with [Crazy Dave] in the anti.
Su Yu t [Crazy Dave] outside a small villa in the southern suburbs of Orleans City ten minutes later.
“Hello, Dave!” Su Yu greeted him warmly from afar, “I am the lord from the village of Aphi, I’ve co specifically to et you.”
“Howdy.” Farr-looking Dave looked over at him.
Walking towards him, Su Yu pulled out several bushels of wild boar and wild goat at from his backpack, trophies from the territorial players’ hunts.
“These are for you.” Su Yu held out the at.
Dave, currently a common farr, seldom had at to eat.
Upon seeing the at, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Of course, Dave knew that Su Yu had also co with an ulterior motive, so he asked tentatively:
“What can I do for you, kind Sir?”
“Slow down.” Su Yu put a hearty arm around his shoulder: “There’s plenty of at here. How about we roast it up, eat so, and talk?”
“Oksure.” Dave didn’t quite know what this influential figure had in mind. However, as just a common farr, he decided to respectfully invite Su Yu into his ho.
Su Yu followed Dave into his courtyard.
In the courtyard, Su Yu saw Demonic Plants growing in all their glory. There were smiling [Sunflowers], towering and mild [Wall-nuts], and furious [Pea Shooters].
Upon seeing Su Yu enter, the [Pea Shooters], [Ice Shooters] and other Demonic Plants pointed their gun muzzles at him.
“Hold on, folks!” Dave hurriedly extended his arms in front of Su Yu: “This is an honorable guest, not an enemy.”
Upon hearing Dave’s words, the plants retracted their gun muzzles and cald down.
“I apologize,” Dave led the way, explaining, “these are the Demonic Plants that I inadvertently cultivated, they’re a bit wary of strangers.”
“It’s no problem.”
Su Yu seed not to mind the plants at all, and followed Dave into the house with a big smile on his face.
Soon after, the scent of roasting at wafted over from Dave’s place.
Su Yu had used so very special spices for this roast, like black pepper powder, rosemary, and even so precious palm oil.
Dave, who usually didn’t get to eat roast at, couldn’t resist such deliciousness and started wolfing it down.
Su Yu sat next to Dave, picked up a small piece of roast at, and started nibbling at it.
Once Dave had eaten his fill, Su Yu smiled and said, “Now Dave, to be real with you, I did co here with a request.”
Finally getting to the point, Dave quickly swallowed his at and looked at him earnestly.
“Here’s the thing.” Su Yu slowly explained, “I’ve established a territory by the Moonlight River called Aphi Village.”
“Aphi village currently has less than 100 villagers, it’s still a small village. Building the village requires a lot of capable people to help.”
“I’ve heard around the village that you have the best farming techniques and can even cultivate Demonic Plants. Are you willing to co help in my territory and build the village?”
After listening to Su Yu, Dave secretly nodded and understood why he had sought him out. However, he didn’t want to leave his courtyard nor the Demonic Plants that he had cared for, so he said hesitatingly, “I’m very sorry, but I…”
“Just hold on.” Su Yu interrupted him, “How about I offer you a salary of 100 spiritual energy coins per day if you co with to the territory? Plus, if you ever feel unhappy living in the territory, I will allow you to leave anyti.”
“100 spiritual energy coins per day?!” Dave’s eyes imdiately lit up. His daily inco was only twenty to thirty spiritual energy coins. He hadn’t expected this generous offer!
Still, thinking of the Demonic Plants in the garden with whom he’d developed an emotional bond, he hesitated: “Thanks much for your generosity, but I still can’t…”
“200 spiritual energy coins per day!”
“No, no, no, sir, you’ve misunderstood.” Dave quickly waved his hand, “It’s not about the money. It’s…nevermind. Co with into the garden and let explain.”
“Alright.” Su Yu nodded.
Due to Dave’s special circumstances, recruiting him wouldn’t be as easy. Su Yu would have to be patient.
ps: Thanks so much to “Sleepless Serenade”, our ally leader! Thank you for your generous donation! Adding 10 chapters.
I will try to update three tis a day and finish all the extra updates within a month!
