Chapter 179 - The Village

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Returning to the game, Li Yi saw huts being built in front of him.

These huts were located in the backyard of the Carefree Station. There were twenty acres of land there, and it was a barren plain. It looked as if it had been destroyed by something.

After the station was activated, it became a large piece of grassland. Now, it was being overtaken by many huts.

These huts were built with simple wooden blocks and thatch.

It looked very simple as it only covered the needs of the residents. It could be used to settle the people in the village.

Next, as long as the warehouse was built, money could be stored, and then it could be used for system exchange.

The equipment that the system could exchange for was limited to the appearance of accessories that had no meaning.

For example, a signboard of sorts.

It was impossible to exchange for a house or something of that value.

However, it could be used for upgrading buildings.

Every type of building had the ability to rely on the system to upgrade. This was considered a system benefit. Therefore, the most important thing was to build a warehouse.

A warehouse was different from a huts. A huts could be built at will.

This was because it was not for the players to use.

However, warehouses were different. They had to be built according to the requirements.

[Level 1 Station Warehouse construction requirements: 5,000 pieces of wood.]

[Number of users: 10]

Seeing this number, Li Yi was relieved. Fortunately, the number of users required was not many. Currently, Li Yi has 15 people.

Li Yi had long prepared the wood.

For the construction of the station, Li Yi had asked for 50,000,000 pieces of wood from Little Merchant.

In the early stages of the construction, wood would be used the most. Even if Li Yi did not join a station, he was very clear about this point. After all, when building a home, the demand was just as similar.

After Li Yi had arranged the tasks for the villagers, he handed the wood to them and then went to work.

Now Li Yi was going down the mountain to bring up the villagers who had not yet come up the mountain.

When he arrived at the village, Li Yi frowned.

There was an empty space in front of him, and a large pile of wood was piled up around the sparse crowd.

What was going on?

Li Yi asked the village chief.

When the village chief and the others saw Li Yi coming, they immediately knelt down and worshiped him.

They answered Li Yi’s question piously.

It turned out that they had known yesterday that they were going up the mountain today.

The villagers had a small dog that was used to carry messages.

The people on the mountain put the message in a backpack that was tied to the dog.

Li Yi looked at the small dog that was wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue at him.

It had snow-white fur all over its body and short limbs. It had a high and raised tail. It was hard to tell what breed it was.

Li Yi picked up the puppy and held it in his arms.

He kept the wood in his backpack. A player’s backpack could hold anything.

Then, he brought the rest of the villagers back to the mountain.

The villagers on the mountain had already started building warehouses.

Since the amount of work this time was not much, the one warehouse was built quite quickly.

At present, there was already a rough outline, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it was built.

The villagers who were brought up came to the Carefree Station.

They started to act consciously. The old man who could not move moved into the huts. Under the command of the village chief, the children began to clean the main building and yard.

The women began to tidy up the layout of the huts, and a part of them went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Everyone was well organized.

Each had their own duties.

Li Yi was very satisfied.

Before long, the accumulated huts started to look like a village.

Li Yi gave all the wood he had to the Carefree Station. Then, he went down the mountain to go to a teleportation gate specially designed to go to the city.

The city that this teleportation gate went to was set by the players themselves.

Every player could only go to one place.

Li Yi had set it to be Emperor City.

After arriving at Emperor City through the teleportation gate, Li Yi went straight to his shop.

It was still early, and Little Merchant and the others were not online yet.

Li Yi had come to clean up and bring the equipment he had built on the second floor back to the Carefree Station.

Going back, he did need to take the teleportation array. He directly teleported himself to the Carefree Station through the light pillar.

He found a few strong villagers and temporarily placed the forging equipment in the main building.

Because there was not a specialized forging shop yet, this was the only way he could store them. However, just as he was about to carry it into the main building, the system sound suddenly popped up.

[System Notification: Do you wish to upgrade the forging shop? ]

“Huh? I can upgrade it now?”

Li Yi turned around and saw that the warehouse had already been built.

This speed was shocking. It turned out that the women of the village had participated in the construction and increased the speed.

Since he could upgrade it, Li Yi did not hesitate in clicking onto the yes option.

[System Notification: Upgrading the shop requires 50,000 silver coins.]

Li Yi deposited the coins into the warehouse and clicked to upgrade.

[System Notification: Successfully upgraded the forging shop.]

[System Notification: Level 1 forging shop can now be used after a successful construction.]

The villagers placed the forging table and other equipment in an empty corner of the courtyard.

Suddenly, a furnace and shed for the forging table appeared.

A simple forging shop was successfully built!

Since the shop was built, Li Yi could focus on other things.

[System Notification: Do you want to upgrade the villagers’ houses?]

Li Yi chose the yes option.

[System Notification: The villagers’ houses have been successfully upgraded.]

[System Notification: The construction of the level 1 villagers’ houses has been successfully completed.]

In an instant, the thatched huts turned into wooden houses.

The villagers were so excited that they started to kneel towards Li Yi.

Li Yi smiled and raised his hand.

[System Notification: Please name the village.]

“Chih Village.”

[System Notification: Name successful.]

There was an additional sign in front of the house that was inserted into the ground. The words Chih Village were clearly written on it.

Now, the village was also built. Then, it was time to start building the station’s buildings.

Li Yi opened the building panel for the station’s building.

“Training Room.”

“Medicine Refining Room.”

“Mission Hiring Board.”

“Station Lounge.”

“Accounting Room.”

…

Looking at all kinds of buildings.

Li Yi fell into deep thought.

Which one should be built first?

The minimum number of users for each building was above 10.

There were not enough people to build two buildings at once.

They could only build it one by one.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yi chose the simplest one — the Accounting room. 

He started from the one with the least number of people required to build the place.

[Requirements for building a Level 1 Station Accounting Room: 1,000 pieces of wood.]

[Number of users: 10]

After choosing, the villagers began to organize their people to start construction again.

Now these villagers were all part of the labor force of Carefree Station.

As long as Li Yi needs it, they would be there at any given time.

This way, there is no need to deliberately communicate, as long as the system panel can act according to Li Yi’s ideas, it would be carried out.

It was very convenient..
