"According to the information instilled by the system, public opinion is a very important indicator for the development of a territory. If public opinion is lower than 10, then the territory may collapse at any time." Looking at the public opinion value on the system panel, Meng Zheng recalled in his heart.

When the territory was established, Meng Zheng also obtained a lot of basic information and tips about the core of the territory.

There are detailed introductions to the four major aspects of territory development: public sentiment, public security, prosperity, and military.

Public opinion represents the living conditions of the people. For example, the public opinion of the Canghai tribe is only 10 now, which is the lowest value. As long as it is lower than 10, Canghai will face riots, uprisings and other negative impacts at any time.

If you ensure that your subjects have enough food and abundant living facilities, the public sentiment will continue to rise.

To upgrade the territory to level 30, all the people in the territory must have food to eat and clothes to wear every day. Only in this way can the conditions for upgrading the territory be met.

Public security requires ensuring safety inside and outside the territory, and not allowing the people to live in a situation where they are in danger at any time. The higher the safety level, the better the public security.

To increase prosperity, you need to build various territory buildings to ensure a positive circulation of territory materials. With continuous development and construction, the prosperity will basically continue to increase. Unless it is suddenly destroyed on a large scale, it is not difficult to increase the prosperity.

Military development is a bit more troublesome. It requires training full-time professional soldiers, improving the strength of the army, providing military equipment, defeating the enemy, capturing supplies, etc. in order to improve the military score.

Only when the upgrade conditions of the territory are met can the territory be advanced to a new level, open more territory buildings, provide more territory development functions, and further enhance the territory's strength.

The territory levels are mainly divided into six stages: tribal level, village level, town level, county level, city level, and capital level.

Each stage is divided into three levels. Only after meeting the conditions can you move up step by step. The further you develop, the more difficult it becomes.

At present, Canghai is a tribal-level existence. The people can only live in shacks, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. It is the lowest level of territory.

Once the tribe has enough food and every citizen can wear clothes and build wooden and stone houses, they can be promoted to the village level and have the initial qualifications to compete for the world.

After reading the conditions for territory upgrades, Meng Zheng carefully looked at the territory's specialties.

There are countless races in the Eternal World, and the competitive pressure is enormous. If your own territory does not have anything to show off, it will easily fall behind others and find it difficult to stand out.

"Not bad. The specialties include Mermaid Pearls and Mermaid Silk, two exclusive items unique to mermaids. That's not surprising. But what is this Sea Spirit Bamboo?"

Looking at the panel, Meng Zheng was a little confused. The mermaid pearls are the tears of the mermaid. When the mermaid cries, it will turn into pearls.

These pearls have many functions and have different attribute bonuses depending on different emotions.

For example, tears of joy can speed up wound healing.

Angry Tears can increase attack power

Tears of Sorrow can reduce the enemy's desire to attack

Tears of longing can quickly relieve fatigue

This is the innate ability of the mermaids. Every mermaid can produce mermaid pearls, which are the greatest wealth of the mermaids.

However, obtaining them is also very difficult. These mermaid pearls must be the tears shed by the mermaids under the most sincere emotions. Ordinary crying and tears are of no use at all. Mermaid silk is a weaving ability that female mermaids are born with. As long as there is the right material, it can be woven into cloth, which is called mermaid silk.

Legend has it that silk is as light as a feather, impervious to water and fire, extremely tough, and not easily damaged by external objects. It is an excellent material for making light armor, robes, and luxurious clothing.

The mermaids, who possess these two specialties, are very popular everywhere, and therefore attract the covetousness of many evil guests.

Therefore, mermaids will build cities and gather together to protect themselves, but even so, from time to time many mermaids will be tempted to run out of their territory and disappear.

Meng Zheng had a general understanding of the above two types, but what was Hailing Bamboo? Meng Zheng didn't understand. From the name, he knew it was a kind of bamboo, but isn't bamboo only found on land?

Does Hailing Bamboo grow specifically in the sea?

"We'll find out when we go look for it later!" Without giving it much thought, he continued to read the introduction to the territory's buildings.

[Mermaid Hut]: The daily living quarters of mermaids, which can accommodate five mermaids. (Without enough huts, mermaids will refuse to join your tribe)
Materials: Coral*10, Aquatic Wood*20, Seaweed*20
Requirements: None

After carefully looking at it several times, Meng Zheng basically had an idea of ​​the various buildings on the territory panel, but he still had a question: why was there no introduction to the mermaid hatching pool?
Turning to look at the bathtub floating beside him, a new attribute panel emerged.

[Mermaid Hatching Pool]: A hatching pool exclusive to the mermaid tribe, which can hatch a certain number of mermaids every day. The hatching capacity is calculated based on the territory level * 12.

Current daily hatching volume: Territory level: Level 12 (Tribe level) * 12 =
Is this my method for increasing population? Looking at the introduction of the hatching pool in front of him, Meng Zheng understood.

The Eternal Continent is a new world. All living beings are transferred from different worlds, so their distribution locations are naturally different.

But for the lords of the Eternal World, the races they can obtain are all random. Apart from those given by the system, if they are unlucky, there is no other way to obtain them.

The population can only be accumulated slowly through reproduction among ethnic groups. In this way, a small tribe of a dozen people may have to wait for hundreds of years before it can increase its tribal population.

This is naturally something that the system cannot allow, so it is very normal to give each player a hatching pool.

"I don't know if I can get new incubation pools in the future. There are only 12 a day, and the growth rate is still very slow!" Meng Zheng thought a little greedily.

Don't think too much. The current population problem can only be solved by slowly accumulating in the incubation pool. There is no point in being anxious.

Let’s study other buildings carefully!
