A Brand-New Construction Mode
"Second Base! Second Base! 500 gold coins?"
Linsey excitedly recited two sentences, then started pacing anxiously in circles.
500 gold coins, although this amount is not as extravagant as what's required for an era upgrade.
However, given the current gold mine output he has, which is only a little over a month's worth of production, it is simply impossible to obtain it immediately.
"I know that developing the territory will definitely be a slow process."
"But this... how can I wait like this?"
Linsey looked dejected, but the costs of upgrading and technological research were rigid requirements that he was powerless to change.
Deeply affected, Linsey began to focus on other aspects of the upgrade.
The Banyan Forest, which had a somewhat old-fashioned look just a day ago, has now been transformed into a true Forest City.
The people are exploring their new home.
Thanks to the previous construction of the vertical city and Hammer's timely publicity, people were familiar with the environment without much fear.
The university where Linsey has now become a sanctuary in the woods, nestled among lush trees. The original stone structure is now partially hidden by the trees, and the overall style has been completely transformed.
Then look towards the center of the Banyan Forest.
The Town Hall blends seamlessly with the main body of the Banyan Forest.
Although there is no obvious reversal yet, no matter how Linsey observes it, she feels that there are signs of human faces on this towering tree.
He recalled his encounter in the Courtyard in the Forest:
"If this territory is upgraded to another level, will it create some kind of Tree of Life or Tree of Wisdom?"
Linsey shook her head slightly and focused on checking the university's research projects.
The medieval scientific research projects that should have taken place were completely altered due to the deviation in the direction of urban evolution.
"[Fire Prevention Tower]—Trains professional forest firefighters to quickly extinguish fires after they break out; [Accelerate Plant Reproduction]—Increases the growth rate of plants within the territory and reduces the probability of disease; [Treant Guardian]—Trees in the forest may develop consciousness and become guardians of the home; [Natural Cycle]—Increases natural productivity, Garbage Recycling efficiency, and resident happiness..."
Linsey continued reading.
The content of all research projects has shifted from classical historical divisions to a low-magic fantasy version.
Compared to the current achievements.
The amount of Essence that Linsey had previously invested now seemed somewhat insignificant.
The only minor problem is that these highly effective technologies require more resources to develop than before.
"The increase in demand for resources was expected."
Linsey reviewed the university's research projects.
He then opened his Attribute Panel and began to study the normally added buildings in the building system:
"[Forest Hunter Training Hall]—Trains citizens into professional forest hunters; [Plant Caretaker Cabin]—Trains Plant Cultivation more efficiently while increasing production; [Treehouse]—Houses for people to live in, improving happiness to a certain extent..."
Linsey continued checking the list one by one.
The existing buildings have all been converted to the Forest City template with this upgrade.
What was once a useless stable has now become an even more useless Forest Deer Taming Field.
Everything is changing in the direction of getting closer to nature.
The most eye-catching structure among them is the one called the Forest Altar.
Forest Altar
Construction cost: 800 wood
Function: Train Forest Priest to improve and optimize the climate around the territory.
"..."
"This function, combined with the inherent characteristics of the Banyan Forest itself, should have an even better effect."
"And 800 pieces of timber."
Linsey's eyes lit up.
He immediately followed his habit and looked for an open space around him, wanting to take pictures of the building's structure.
They had only walked for a few minutes.
Linsey discovered that the space in the Banyan Forest had also changed after this round of upgrades.
There is no problem for ordinary people or vehicles to move around.
However, the construction gaps in large buildings are quite narrow.
"Now, to build a house, you have to cut down trees?"
Linsey was a little confused, so he tried to pull out the building frame.
The result is that the construction of the Forest City does not require the ground at all, and can even be built to a certain extent in the air where trees are attached!
In other words...
Spatial considerations when building territory have been greatly liberated!
"This setting is quite humane."
Linsey smiled slightly and directly slammed down the [Forest Altar].
Once the framework was in place, his gaze settled on the last line of the building list.
"This is... Moon Lake?"
Linsey clicked on the description—
Moon Lake
Construction cost: 1000 Water, 200 Stone, 50 Wood, 5 Crystal
Function: Creates a quiet and beautiful lake in the territory, improving the territory's luck.
"..."
"..."
"!!!"
Linsey's mind went blank for a moment, but then his train of thought was completely opened.
"Now that I've made this thing, can I go fishing again?"
Linsey's expression went from astonishment to ecstasy.
He had also tried fishing in the Barren Land World.
But in those shallow waters where you could barely cast a Fishing Rod, you couldn't catch anything at all.
If Moon Lake could be built now, this problem would seem to be easily solved!
"Okay! I must act immediately."
Linsey, displaying her fickle nature, immediately forgot about the Forest Altar behind her.
He couldn't wait to immediately put the framework of Moon Lake on his territory.
But before Linsey could act, he considered another possibility:
"Wait, could I place this building on the edge of the territory?"
"If half of the lake were inside the forest and the other half outside, wouldn't that provide a fishing spot with two different environments at the same time?"
Linsey thought about the future and immediately put it into action.
He strode toward the edge of the Banyan Forest, and on the eastern side where the Banyan Forest was not very extensive, he tried to place Moon Lake half inside the forest and half downwards in the Wasteland.
Click—
As a result, Linsey couldn't continue filming.
"..."
"The area is too far beyond what can be covered, so it can't be built like this anymore?"
Linsey was unwilling to accept it.
He had no intention of giving up, so he manipulated the building frame little by little to move it into the woods.
As it turns out, hard work pays off.
When the forest occupies 4/5 of Moon Lake and about 1/5 is exposed on the Wasteland, the architectural frame was actually photographed!
It's just a phantom right now.
But a calm and beautiful lake was right in front of Linsey!
"Call--"
Linsey took a deep breath.
The next second, he took off running and rushed straight into the center of the Banyan Forest.
Less than a minute later, Linsey's hurried and joyful shouts rang out to the astonished gazes of the people:
"Hammer, quickly call the construction team over."
"I have an urgent job that I need their help with. Come with me to the east side of the woods!"
