Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

047.
Inhabiting the land where human skeletons are buried is a Tauren tribe with a population of about 1000. This tribe keeps a distance from players, and never thought that players would come to them. They feel like they are facing a great enemy and look quite alert.

The players explained their purpose and offered to provide the tribe with a batch of winter supplies in exchange for the tribe's consent to allow them to dig up corpses in their territory.

Winter is about to come to Fujie Manor. After winter, life will not be easy for these tribes. Even in a large tribe with a population of one thousand, they live in thatched houses and only have animal skins to keep warm. It will be difficult to hunt prey at that time. If they can have a batch of winter supplies, the whole tribe will have a good winter.

In order to convince the tribe, the players brought sweaters, cotton coats and some delicious food so that they could touch and taste them with their own hands.

Even though a large tribe that can grow to a population of one thousand has more experience than a small tribe, it has definitely never seen such a good thing. In addition, there are players who are good at diplomacy, so the Tauren leader was persuaded and agreed to allow players to dig in their territory.

In fact, if people in later generations knew that they were living on top of a grave, they might be very unhappy, but the Tauren obviously don’t have such a taboo. When they saw the players digging corpses, they came up to them curiously.

But rather than being curious about the pile of corpses, it would be more accurate to say that they were curious about the players and their various machines.

To the Tauren tribe, the presence of the players is absolutely very conspicuous. Even if they were timid before and didn't dare to come forward, they have seen how powerful the players are and the various new tools and food that the players have. Since the players became active in the Forest of Frog, these Tauren, in addition to hunting and farming, the most common thing they do every day is to talk about the players and their manors.

This time seeing the player at such a close distance, besides being afraid, they were more curious inside. Especially after seeing that the player would not hurt them, they were bold enough to try to help the player dig the soil, trying to start a conversation with the player.

As long as they have no intention of attacking the players and the manor, the players' attitude towards the locals is actually quite good, especially after the initial survey, when they discovered that this might be a fairly large grave mound and they wanted to dig it all out. In the later stages, the cooperation of these Tauren would probably be indispensable, and the diplomatic team had even gone online, ready to persuade these tribes to migrate, for example, to their manor?

This persuasion is actually not very difficult. Not many indigenous races can resist the player's "glib tongue" and the temptation of interests. Even if the Tauren are quite wary of the player at the beginning, they will usually be defeated by the player's affinity after getting along with them, not to mention that there are so many tribes in the player's manor, including Tauren of the same race and skin as them.

Make friends with the tauren in the tribe, treat them to some snacks, and then visit the village and town in the manor to see how other tauren eat and live on a daily basis. It won't take long before these tauren are attracted to the life in the manor, and they all want to join the manor on their own initiative without any persuasion.

This is good. Moving them into the manor will make digging up the corpses smoother.

Although there are a population of one thousand, it is not difficult to move them all in at once. They just have to live in model houses first, and then build real houses as soon as possible so that they can all move in before winter.

However, because the model houses built by the manor were better than those built by the Tauren Tribe, and the players said that they would build them that kind of red brick houses before winter, the Tauren Tribe had no complaints and moved in happily. Moreover, they were neighbors of friendly Tauren villages of the same race as them, so the possibility of conflict was reduced.

Not long after this group of Tauren tribes moved in, the players completed their excavation work.

Except for a few complete skeletons, most of them were missing limbs and no one knew where they were lost.

But the player had no regrets, because after digging out the corpse, the system automatically unlocked the background line of [The Origin of the Manor].

And Xia Ji also knew that the reason why the system said that her inheritance of the manor was completely legal.

More than a thousand years ago, Xilaine, a nobleman of a human city-state, was sentenced to exile to a remote place because he offended the king. The woman broke off the engagement with him, but the exiled Xilaine unexpectedly received the blessing of the gods and possessed the power of the gods. He could take objects out of thin air, and took out high-yield magic potatoes and magic vegetables that could fill people's stomachs, a magic knife that could chop off the king's sword, and a magic cannon that could shatter rocks.

Xilian took advantage of this opportunity to claim himself as king, and even attacked the former capital, hanged the king, and destroyed the nobles who broke off the engagement with him, but he made his ex-fiancee become his lover.

This move is not surprising, because Xilian had many mistresses on his way to becoming king.

Finally, he married the princess of the neighboring kingdom as his wife.

But Xilaine did not live long. After marrying his first wife, he died in his mistress's bed only a few years after taking the throne.

The heir to the throne was the son born to the princess, but the new king was young, so the princess and her lover were in power.

During the reign of the princess and her lover, they ruled the people harshly and there were many racial conflicts. In addition, after the death of Xilian, the sacred potatoes and vegetables lost their "divinity", and the output decreased from generation to generation. The lower class people could not get enough to eat, and slowly the country began to fall apart.

When the kingdom was destroyed, all that remained were the legend of Xilian and the treasure map of Xilian.

Here we have to mention Xilian’s hobbies, one is beauty, the other is treasure hiding.

There is no need to mention beauties. He had mistresses in the three digits when he was in power. As for the hidden treasure, it was Hiraen himself who said that he had placed a large amount of treasure in the New World at sea, and whoever found it would own it. (Note ①)
Some people believed this and some did not. Those who did not believe it thought that the shipbuilding technology at that time was backward and ships could not sail very far. Xilaine did not go out to sea often, so how could he place treasures on the sea? Those who believed it thought that Xilaine was the son of God and could create things out of thin air, so it was not impossible for him to place a large amount of treasures on the sea. What's more, he was talking about a new world on the sea. Who knew what the so-called new world was like?

However, this does not hinder people's enthusiasm for treasure hunting.

However, there has been no breakthrough in shipbuilding technology, and no so-called treasure was found on the nearby islands. Instead, treasure and magic cannons were discovered in the castle where he once lived, so the treasure hunt craze at sea dissipated, and was replaced by a treasure hunt craze at the old site of Hillion.

Because at that time the Kingdom of Xilian had long ceased to exist and the country was divided into pieces. The remote areas occupied by Xilian in the early years had long been unattended. Once the treasure hunting craze came out, they were occupied by those who were interested.

Even the place of exile that Xilian was sentenced to was not spared.

Although Xilain had never actually lived in this place, he received the blessing of the gods halfway through, and quickly conquered a tribe of 500 people with this aura, and his fortune was made in that tribe. But later, as his power grew, he built a castle in the place of exile to show that he occupied this land - Xilain liked to build castles on the land he occupied.

But just as someone occupied the exile land, a huge earthquake occurred soon after. Most of the land of Shillion's former exile land was torn apart by the earthquake. The earthquake was accompanied by tornadoes, underwater volcanic eruptions and other disasters.

Those who were able to survive fled, and from then on this place became a forbidden place that no one wanted to get close to.

Many years passed, and when someone came to the place of exile again, he found that the place with the castle had disappeared.

Hundreds and thousands of years passed, theology gradually declined, science gradually developed, shipbuilding technology and navigation technology were improved, and exploring the ocean and searching for the treasure left by Xilian in the New World became popular again. Countries along the coast increased their investment in the ocean and sent fleets to search for the treasure of the New World.

As a result, they did not find the New World, but did find the New Continent - the reason for this is that the New Continent is inhabited by backward indigenous people and there is no so-called gold, silver or treasure, which does not conform to the legendary New World where the treasure of Shillion is hidden.

However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of various countries for ocean treasure hunting. Instead, it further stimulated their desire to pursue the treasures of the New World of Shillion. If they already have the New Continent, how could there not be the New World?

Although there are no treasures in the New World, it has land and climate suitable for farming, hardworking and gullible indigenous people, and the elves who have disappeared from their continent!
In particular, the flower fairy that is said to make people forget their worries was also found in the New World!
If you capture them and bring them back to present to the king, or sell them to the nobles, you can gain a huge fortune, or even a title!
Even though the elves are not as rare as the flower elves, they are also very good. Each one is extremely beautiful. If you bring them back, they will be highly sought after by both male and female nobles.

Apart from the elves, the land and other races are also very good. They are primitive and backward, so how can they defeat them who have guns and cannons? It is easy to force them into slavery. Whether they let them farm or take them back to sell, it is also a good income.

Under such circumstances, countries have shown great interest in the ocean and have increased their investment in the search for treasures in the New World. Even if they don't find them, a trip to the sea without capsizing and returning safely is a huge fortune!

"So, you're not going to tell me that the Forest of Fugud was the place of exile for Long Aotian, who was suspected of traveling through space/system, and now it has become the legendary new world?"

After reading the entire story background, Xia Ji felt overwhelmed.

The system confirmed Xia Ji's statement. At first, the coastal countries certainly did not regard the Land of Exile as the new ocean world in the Xilian legend. However, as the Land of Exile disappeared and the new world was not found, gradually, the saying that the Land of Exile was brought to the ocean by the gods and that the Land of Exile was the real new world emerged.

After all, this was Xilaine's territory in the past, and Xilaine, because he took out the magic potato (although the production of the magic potato decreased with Xilaine's death, it was still more productive than most foods), the magic cannon, and the sudden earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions that occurred when others occupied the exile land, is still recognized as the Son of God today when theology is weakened.

So, could the Son of God's words be false? Yes, the so-called new world in the ocean might be a prophecy. He foresaw that the Land of Exile would disappear on land thousands of years later, and it is not certain that he hid the treasure in the Land of Exile in advance.

As for why the Son of God did not foresee that he would die in his mistress's bed, and why he did not know that his only biological son was someone else's, the most popular explanation is similar to "a doctor cannot treat himself", that is, he can foresee others but not himself.

Anyway, no matter what, now not only the maritime countries, but also the inland countries are widely spreading the rumor that the place where Xilian was once exiled is the legendary new world with a lot of treasures. Countless people go to the ocean to search for treasures, and the Age of Exploration has also arrived. (Note ②)
The reason why the system said that it was completely legal for Xia Ji to inherit the manor was not only because it was an ownerless land, but also because Xilian had said that whoever found the new world would own it, and this was also recognized by all countries today.

Summer Festival: ...

She thought Aurora's identity had something to do with the secondary world! So that's it?

Moreover, after listening to the whole story, she felt that Xilaine did not actually put the treasure in the so-called new world. The so-called new world of the ocean was more like Xilaine knew that there were other continents outside the ocean, and that there were gold and silver mines hidden there. Wasn't that why she said this in order to attract others to go treasure hunting on the sea?
"System, is Xilaine a time traveler? Is his golden finger a space or some kind of exchange system? Is there really treasure hidden on this island? Are these human corpses left behind by the earthquake? Also, what was the weapon that attacked the primary manor at that time?"

For these questions, the system only chose to answer the last two, because it believed that the first two were irrelevant to the current manor game. Whether there was treasure hidden was up to Xia Ji and the others to explore on their own. The last two questions were related to the manor, and now that the origin of the manor had been unlocked, the system could reveal them.

It was certain that these corpses were those of humans who had died in the earthquake, and that the thick fog that attacked the primary manor had caused the system to activate the emergency protection mechanism. It was a very powerful artillery shell that could blow up the entire primary manor.

The system also stated that there are currently no such shells on the entire island, and it cannot guarantee whether outsiders have them.

This means that the bomb that the green goblins found was the last one on the island.

Moreover, the shell was completely absorbed by the emergency protection mechanism because of the attack fog, and the players were unable to pick up the wreckage for research.

"How powerful is that shell compared to what we currently have?"

"Players are invited to explore on their own."

Summer Festival: ...

The system is still hiding things as always!

You know, they also have bombs that can blow up the manor. It’s the same as not saying anything if they don’t say it!

Forget it, Xia Ji couldn't pry open the system's mouth, and the only green-skinned goblin who knew about it couldn't explain what the inside of the shell looked like. If you really want to know, you probably have to wait until you get out of the outside world. Before that, you should hurry up and build a big ship.

Because the system now clearly states that when the manor is upgraded to level 50, the game system will be upgraded again, just like when it was at level 5. All personnel must go offline, and at that time, the entire island will be unlocked.

Yes, an island! The Forest of Fergude was not the land surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side as Xia Ji and his friends had originally thought, but a large island, which was regarded by outsiders as a new world with huge treasures!
Moreover, treasure hunting is popular in the outside world now, and there is no telling how many people are searching for treasure in the ocean. When the time comes, the island that loses the protection of the invisible barrier will be exposed and will definitely be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. Maybe there are people with ulterior motives nearby now!

Just thinking about it, Xia Ji felt that the situation was becoming tense and serious.

The manor is now level 46, and is only 50 levels away from unlocking level 4. It won't be particularly slow to upgrade these 4 levels, but they currently only have a few ships loaded with cannonballs, so they can't sail far.

If the island is discovered and a war breaks out, these ships will be of little use.

They still need to speed up shipbuilding and put the navy online for training. Once the island is unlocked, they will immediately patrol around the island to deal with foreign invasion.

They were able to capture the natives of the New World and make them slaves - this was not the kind of slave status that Xia Ji had originally given to defeated prisoners, but real slaves. They also captured flower elves and other elves to trade. They were not good people in any way. A conflict was inevitable at that time, and Xia Ji and his men needed to be fully prepared for war and not rely on luck.

After the Huameng team learned the news, they once again entered emergency preparedness mode.

Immediately expand the shipyard and open up new related job accounts. At the same time, the weapons institute should continue to develop more weapons.

After listening to Xia Ji's oral narration of the background word by word and analyzing it, the game team did not think that the productivity outside was very high nowadays. However, the game team was worried that Xilian had taken out the cannonballs more than a thousand years ago, and the cannonballs were extremely powerful and could be used more than a thousand years later. Now, would the outside world, because of Xilian, light up the cannonball weapon and develop it to a very high level?
If this is the case, the assessment of the outside world's military strength must be raised a bit.

They also have to take corresponding countermeasures.

So, let's enter a state of emergency preparedness. Weapons, ships, and navy must all be put online!

In the main world, although Huameng did not disclose this to the public, we can see something from the positions for game account recruitment. In addition, the atmosphere of the military players in the national team is also different from usual. Everyone can't help but speculate whether there are any changes in the secondary world? Is there going to be a war?
"I feel like the atmosphere in the manor has become unusual since the human skeleton was dug up. Could it be that the skeleton has some meaning?"

"I saw military vehicles heading to the coast. Although we have gone to the beach to fish before, it doesn't seem like there are so many military vehicles recently. The country has also released positions that require shipbuilding experience. Could it be that they are going to build big ships to go out to sea?"

"I don't know what happened, and I feel a little uneasy. I hope that the stability of the manor will not be disrupted. We finally have a stable source of food, and there must be no problems."

"I guess the country is preparing to train troops and go out to sea. Although they can't go out now, this is a game after all. Maybe they will be able to go out in the future. They are preparing for training and going out to sea in advance."

People were talking about it on the Internet, and as the number of naval forces increased, there was a hint of worry in their words.

Seeing this, the country did not feel that it had to conceal everything, so as to avoid unrest among the people and affect their daily lives.

The news that the level 50 game will be unlocked soon was announced, which means that at that time, we can go to sea freely. Now we are preparing for going to sea in the future.

This caused an uproar on the Internet.

Those who are optimistic say that they can finally go out, and if they find other humans with good productivity, they may be able to trade with them and solve the problem of food shortage in the main world at once; those who are pessimistic feel a little scared, worrying that after the manor can go out, the bad guys they encounter will be strong and will invade the manor.

But more people think that no matter what, since the game can be unlocked after level 50, they should face it with a positive attitude. They also believe in their country. They feel relieved to see the country’s current preparations and feel that the country has confidence.

What's more, it's impossible that the Forest of Ferguson is so backward, and the technology in the outside world has suddenly developed to the point of flying into the sky and diving into the ground?
If they could really fly into the sky and into the earth, they would not be able to find this manor? Are the indigenous races still so backward?

No matter what, we in the Huameng are a technological power that can realize planet-wide immigration. Even if the secondary world is limited by materials and its technological level cannot be brought up to that of the main world for the time being, there is no need to be afraid.

We have the best technology in the world, the most hardworking people, and the most loyal soldiers. No matter what, no matter where we are, we can carve out our own path!
