93"8181 Golden Eye's Guide to Getting Rich"

Li Aoz's calls went unanswered; a gentle breeze swept through the area, creating a sound as it rustled through the leaves.

Ya Wen did not answer.

Regardless, she must have heard what she said. All Li Aoz could do was to do her best, and the rest was up to Ya Wen to choose.

He could certainly be two-faced to complete strangers and enemies, but when it came to Ya Wen, this simple and pure girl, Li Aoz felt he still had to act like a decent person.

"Never mind, Ya Wen will figure it out herself."

Li Aoz shook his head and turned to examine the two dungeon crystals he had asked Ya Wen to place—the effects of these crystals varied depending on the NPC's class.

For example, the crystals created by [Mage] are often in a separate monster-spawning instance with a higher material drop rate; [Mechanic] is a virtual program with a richer experience bonus; [Martial Artist] teaches martial arts in the form of 'Enlightenment Realm', with a higher probability of obtaining combat skills, and so on.

As a "Astral Echoer," the dungeon crystals created by Li Aoz appear in the form of "Memory Echoes." Players can directly experience the story woven by Li Aoz within them and make their own choices freely, much like a murder mystery game.

The "Nethermark Humanity Laboratory" is a low-level game, designed not only for White Candle Star players but also for all players in the open beta. A normal person should be able to reach the minimum standard after playing for two weeks.

As for "Valenkov's Winter," this was a feast specially prepared by Li Aoz for his piglets. He selected the time when Verrazzi's troops fought against Valenkov's militia, where the strength was relatively low. For these players Level Cap only Alpha Rank, it could serve as training without causing them to lose everything.

Since players haven't been the main characters in several versions, this "infiltrate restricted areas and evacuate with supplies" gameplay will likely become the mainstream in the Abyss in the future. Li Aoz training his players in this way so they can get a basic feel for it.

It's a pity that neither of these dungeons is currently being challenged. However, this is only for a few days. The White Candle Star players under Li Aoz are all at least level 15, either professional players, members of large guilds, or streamers—of course, there's only one genius like Caramel Snail, most players are organized.

After inspecting the site, Li Aoz found that the construction progress at the ruins was quite impressive. His [Eye of Truth] scanned the entire area, revealing that his territory now covered 1800 acres. Although the area was mostly barren wilderness, the players' work efficiency was truly terrifying.

"Don't these guys ever log off? Damn it, do they not have to go to work, they play games all day?"

Li Aoz couldn't help but make a comment.

Now that the area was already quite large, Li Aoz considered it and decided it was time to formally establish his own basic power.

Whether White Candle Star would pay attention to him was still unknown, but Li Aoz did not intend to waste time. He wanted to build up his own power as soon as possible so that he could further advance into the Abyss.

On the other hand, the Social Citizen lurking on White Candle Star also caught Li Aoz's attention.

For the foreseeable future, he will have virtually nothing to do but study or be on his way to study. With Ya Wen around, the player side can be fully managed. With the ability of the [Astral Echoer], he can also remotely control the situation on Azure Planet. Whether it is the Nethermark Heavy Industries or the territory of Red Arrow, he has his own influence.

Of course, Li Aoz is also focusing on collecting and cultivating geniuses like Caramel Snail.

"It's time to plan my territory."

Establish territory.

Star Abyss is a game that covers a wide range of areas. There is a sophisticated process for production and development in all aspects. However, in the early stages, players do not have the right to establish autonomous territories at all.

Because Qiqiao Network didn't have a relevant system, players who banded together to form guilds could only build their so-called 'territory' with a few tents and campfires. The place was so cramped that even a mouse would feel it was drafty.

Having version 14.0 of Li Aoz, however, has a complete territory building system.

But Li Aoz also has a problem.

As a pure thug, Li Aoz doesn't have a 'professional identity'.

Yes, in Star Abyss, there is a concept of identity and profession.

For example, professions like [President], [Politician], [General], [Governor], and [Diplomat] not only provide attribute bonuses, but they also come with their own new branch systems, specializing in related professional management.

In terms of professions, those who can manage a territory must at least be a "gentry" or a "Landlords".

These two professions not only provide excellent land productivity bonuses, but most importantly, they unlock the territory management system more intuitively, allowing Li Aoz to remotely control territory development while studying at school.

Although the Astral Echoer has the ability to transmit sound over long distances, Ya Wen doesn't know how to build a camp. Letting her manage the camp would only make a mess of things. Moreover, Li Aoz also needs this system to assess his situation and cover up his smuggling business.

Yes, Li Aoz is seriously considering becoming a speculator.

In his memory, Galaxy Eye Campaign, both sides of Night Butterfly Crystal suffered heavy losses, and both sides were considering purchasing new weapons from the Layered Abyss Civilization to change the course of the war.

However, since they had not established diplomatic relations with the Interstellar Alliance, they could not find a new breakthrough.

What Li Aoz wants to do is, in the near future, build a foreign trade network connecting the Abyss, centered around his own relic Teleportation Node, and continuously increase his influence.

As the saying goes, if you want to be an official, you have to commit murder and arson to be granted amnesty. Although Li Aoz wouldn't actually commit murder and arson, he would be happy to help the Crystal Tower, which would be mired in war, by becoming an arms dealer in the Star Abyss.

This also requires the cooperation of the players. The player is only responsible for transportation, while the other players rest and recuperate here, creating a peaceful town to provide cover for Li Aoz's business.

Players in the Yanxia Zone will gradually grow and come into contact with Star Abyss during this process, and become familiar with the Star Abyss weapons brought by Li Aoz in advance.

"I'll just make grand promises, White Candle Star will handle the publicity. That way, when the players on Azure Planet go to space in the future, they will have a deeper impression of me. The first thing they will think of is, ' Li Aoz has good treasures and connections. If we follow Brother Li, we'll have a spoon to lick as well as him.'"

Li Aoz needs to develop his own camp properly, and for this reason, it is quite necessary to establish a privately administered area.

For Li Aoz at present, there are two options.

In the first scenario, Li Aoz can directly purchase land from the nearest government agency. Once he obtains land authorization, he can officially activate the system's "Homestead" module.

But he doesn't even have a household registration now, let alone buy land and become a "Landlords".

The second scenario involves spending real money (or in-game purchases).

After much deliberation, Li Aoz felt that he had just made a small commotion with Valenkov and it was not advisable to make a big fuss about it for the time being.

Secondly, he felt that it would be a little difficult for someone like him, who didn't even have a Beijing residency permit, whose source of wealth was unknown, and who was currently still a student, to directly acquire a wasteland with ancient ruins.

So, Li Aoz directly purchased the [Pioneering Order] from the store and used it on the spot.

You have reclaimed a wasteland; the land and its people will now be your private property.

[Homestead System Unlocked]

You have the highest degree of control over your home and can set taxes for it.

Use your funds to build a new home!

He opened the camp construction interface. He was quite skilled at construction, and with a few simple adjustments, he had planned the roads and facilities for his future territory.

As for its name, it naturally can't be called a ruin.

With a wave of his hand, Li Aoz used his exceptional talent for naming to name the first village of his future empire.

No one can understand how they do it, but everyone will be greatly impressed by your leadership."

"Your population is small and scarce, and food is scarce. You need to expand as soon as possible and attract more immigrants to join you. This is also an important way for you to improve your territory's status."

"Fortunately, you also have an excellent tailor. She is skillful and highly skilled. Establish your textile business as soon as possible and expand production. It will definitely be a hit."

[Recommended Development]: Hunting and Gathering, Weaving and Clothing

"Huh, there's Goblin Nest here?"

Li Aoz was taken aback, then became excited:

"The Crystallized Worm Cave, the Hidden Underground Ruins... we haven't explored any of them. Could there be Underground City here?"

If that's the case, then I could not only be a middleman, but also a mine owner.

"I never expected our first village construction to have such a wonderful start! Let's take off!"

I recommend this book: The Lord is an Undercover Agent

The plot and setting are very interesting, and fewer people die than in " From the From the Star Abyss".
