Global Descent: 100×Reward

Chapter 30: New Function—Virtual Sandbox!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I’m missing one Advanced Bunker Upgrade Scroll. Otherwise, I could have directly upgraded to Level 6.”

Lin Ye muttered regretfully and cooped himself up in the recruitment hall.

At Level 5, the population limit reached 4,000.

After accounting for the casualties, his total population was 974, which meant that he could add another 3,026 population units.

With such an increase in population limit, it was time for a massive recruitment again.

Furthermore, after upgrading the fortress, there were many new changes. He had to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible.

He opened the territory map first.

This was an unique ability unlocked when the Bunker reached Level 5—Virtual Sandbox.

Although it did not have any real-time monitoring function, it could directly observe the construction and resource consumption within the territory.

He picked up a wooden chopstick and drew a circle around the perimeter of the virtual sandbox which was also the 2,000 meter mark from his graveyard.

Two thousand meters was the dividing line.

Within the 2,000 meters range, after two days of clearing, most of the zombies were cleared.

It was considered safe for now, making it suitable to establish as the first circle of defense.

Things got rather complicated beyond the 2,000 meters mark.

Apart from the dark fog, there were also many zombies and other human lords.

Those were unknown variables.

How could he allow outsiders to snore loudly by his bedside?

He was after all the number one lord in the world right now.

As for the five-man party, they were brazen enough to offend someone superior to them and plot against his subordinates.

Zheng Jingze, who had done this before, was now a fertilizer for the grass growing on his grave.

Lin Ye quietly added their names to the blacklist when Adelia told him about the five of them.

Of course, before taking revenge, he still had to prepare a defense strategy.

Stable progress was the most important thing right now.

“The outer region can serve as the first defensive line. His available resources are Level 1 Wooden Fences and Level 3 Stone Fences…”

Lin Ye pondered for a moment before placing the two fence blueprints along the defensive line.

Soon, the estimated cost of the materials needed appeared on the map.

At a glance, the number was still increasing rapidly by a few hundred per second.

A moment later, the calculation was completed.

The system displayed the calculation report: To establish a defensive circle at the 2,000 meters mark using fences. Total perimeter of the circle is 12,560 meters. After excluding ravines, bushes, hills, and rivers along the way, 4,623 meters is left. One fence is 10 meters. In total, 463 units of fence are required.

Level 1 Wooden Fence: 1 unit requires 100 Wood, 1 Native Worker. Time Required: 10 hours! (Note: Number of blueprints and native worker’s level can increase efficiency)

Effect: For every unit of wooden fence, it is able to defend against 100 Level 1 zombie attacks, 10 Level 2 zombie attacks, 5 Level 3 zombie attacks. Against anything above Level 4, the fence will instantly break!

Level 3 Stone Fence: 1 unit requires 300 Stone, 3 Native Workers. Time Required: 24 hours! (Note: Number of blueprints and native worker’s level can increase efficiency)

Effect: For every unit of stone fence, it is able to defend against 300 Level 1 zombie attacks, 30 Level 2 zombie attacks, 15 Level 3 zombie attacks, 7 Level 4 zombie attacks.Against anything above Level 5, the fence will instantly break!

Estimated Resource Expenditure: Level 1 Wooden Fence. 46,300 Wood, 463 Native Workers. 100 hours needed for the entire construction.

Level 3 Stone Fence: 138,900 Stone, 926 Native Workers, 240 hours needed for the entire construction.

Reducing the number of native workers would greatly extend the time needed to complete the construction.

“It is actually going to take more than 200 hours.” Lin Ye frowned slightly.

Frankly speaking, he was more inclined toward the stone fence.

A strong defense which was durable.

If this thing was placed at the perimeter, it would appear much more intimidating than a wooden fence.

As for the doubling of the number of native workers needed, it simply did not matter.

In any case, he was rich now and had sufficient population space. He was not afraid of manpower constraints at all.

However, the number of blueprints was a huge pit. He only received three Level 3 Stone Fence blueprints after opening all those treasure chests. The efficiency would be too slow.

On the other hand, he had a total of 500 Wooden Fence blueprints and more than 700 native workers upgrade scrolls. If they were used, the time needed would be reduced by at least half.

He compared the information of the blueprints of the two fences with the blueprints of other buildings.

A quick calculation later.

Lin Ye made a decision.

“Tru, gather everyone except the native workers who work in the fisheries.”

He walked out of the bunker and shouted to Tru.

“My lord, is it a big operation?” Tru revealed a curious expression.

“Why are you wasting time? Hurry up and go.” Lin Ye kicked him and scolded, “You’ve forgotten what I taught you again. I’m telling you to go and get the people, so stop chattering. If this happens again, you can go back to your underworld.”

“I dare not forget, I dare not forget. The lord’s words are the motto of my life. Even if I die, I will engrave these words on my tombstone…”

Tru shuddered with fear, wishing he could give himself a few tight slaps.

At noon, because he had doubted the lord’s decision, his beef set meal was taken away and he could only eat the sad steamed buns.

But that was not considered awful for him.

If he got to eat steaming hot buns in the underworld three days ago, he would have been grinning in bed for three days.

However, everything changed after being recruited into Lin Ye’s territory.

In just two days, his taste buds had been renewed.

Sweet egg cream toast, fragrant ham instant noodles, and delicious pork skewers…

The temptation of Earth’s delicacies was enough to make him drool just at the thought of them.

Hence, he would rather be a bootlicker to Lin Ye than return to the underworld for another day.

Betting on his future life, Tru’s efficiency skyrocketed, but it caused a commotion outside the bunker.

In a few minutes, 197 native workers appeared outside the bunker.

Standing at the front was Worker One.

They had just finished transporting supplies and were exhausted when they were called over by Tru’s men.

“My lord, we can’t go on like this. We have to make dozens of warehouses. Otherwise, once it rains, the supplies outside the graveyard will perish.”

Worker One raised his hand and suggested.

“That’s why I called you here.” Lin Ye smiled. The construction of the warehouses was within his calculations.

But that was not the main point.

He raised his hand and interrupted Worker One. He swept his gaze across everyone present and nodded inwardly.

Although they had only interacted with each other for two days, with good food by the chefs and good living conditions, the loyalty of all the native workers was almost 80%.

Obviously, as long as he didn’t send them to their deaths.

If it was fast, it would be a week before all of them would be willing to sacrifice their lives for him. If it was slow, it would take around half a month.

Thinking up to this point, he took out 200 Intermediate Native Worker Upgrade Scrolls from his resource page and handed them to Worker One.

“Upgrade scrolls?!” Worker One’s breathing quickened.

He never thought that there would be a day someone as lowly as him would actually have the right to use an upgrade scroll.

With the strict hierarchy of the underworld, whether it was soldiers, races, or religions, As long as they were living beings, raising one’s class was a ‘treasure’ that every native longed after.

This was different from the delicacies previously. The value of the upgrade scrolls undoubtedly exceeded their own value. Even if the scrolls were given to a higher class native worker, it would make those people follow Lin Ye wholeheartedly.

Holding the upgrade scrolls in his hand, he felt his eyes burning…
