[Faction building: Jianmu (level 1: 0/1,000,000) Permanent effects: energy/level 1, planting/level 1, breeding/level 1, defense/level 1, fortuitous encounters/level 1 Temporary effects: none]
Ye Fei looked at Jianmu, which had rapidly grown to over thirty meters tall and sprouted five branches after the light faded...
His feelings were a little complicated.
Compared with the Phoenix Tree nearby, this Jianmu really did look rather unimpressive.
Still, even if its current form looked a little weak, every branch on this tree represented a boosting effect.

Energy included what players needed for cultivation. Spiritual energy and magic elements were both forms of energy.
Although they had no players of certain types, such as mecha users or enhancement types, those cultivation systems also required energy-based substances to replenish their own needs before they could strengthen themselves and improve.
The focus for mecha users was operating mecha.
Early on, it felt as though powerful equipment was all that mattered, but without sufficient physical strength to match, they would be unable to operate mecha with more powerful configurations.
As such, the intensity of the energy in the environment was a very important basic necessity.
The other effects also increased things by 10%. All the level 1 effects used that percentage.
