After learning that the first industrial revolution was impossible, Xia Shan switched to become an alchemist engineer...
She is the kind of player who focuses on architecture. She is not very interested in leveling up and only likes to create various things in the game.
The Holy Spirit's super-powerful physics engine brought her a huge surprise, but the limitation of MP caused Xia Shan's first industrial revolution to be instantly destroyed due to her only ten points of intelligence.
But she didn’t give up…
Jiang Qiao watched the girl walk out of the professional guild, then turned into a ghost again and flew out with Hai Lan.
Xia Shan's subsequent actions made Jiang Qiao feel much more at ease. She picked up a lot of stones from all over the streets of Lionheart City and piled them on the roadside.
Jiang Qiao knew what Xia Shan was testing, which was whether players could build things in Lionheart City.
The answer is of course no. If players just pile up anything in Lionheart City, wouldn’t the entire city be filled with illegal buildings
Ten seconds after Xia Shan piled up her pebbles, a group of tiny stars of light directly swallowed up the pebbles that Xia Shan had piled up.
She also received a system prompt.
'The city cleaning elves have swept up the garbage you threw away.'
"It doesn't work." Xia Shan had expected this, and she didn't get discouraged. She ran to the place where the novice monster Slime refreshed outside Lionheart City with a bunch of pebbles.
She piled a bunch of pebbles on the grass in the Slime Forest, but not long after, another prompt popped up.
'The forest cleaning elves have swept away the rubbish you threw away.'
"Is it not possible to do it in the wild map?" Xia Shan seemed very discouraged.
Jiang Qiao, who was watching from the side, couldn't bear it anymore, so he logged into his elemental summoner account not far away and walked past the girl pretending to be a passerby.
"Friend, are you stacking stones?" Jiang Qiao asked as he looked at the small pile of stones Xia Shan had put up.
"I'm not trying to build something on the wild map. I'm just trying to see if I can build something on the wild map." Xia Shan said to Jiang Qiao without turning her head.
"If you can build houses on wild maps, this game will become a tower defense game, but I know there is a place where you can build a house." Jiang Qiao said again.
"Where? Ah... hello."
It was then that Xia Shan realized that it was a player who was answering her. When she turned around and saw Jiang Qiao, she was stunned by his gorgeous equipment, especially the Fire Spirit Prayer in his hand.
Jiang Qiao's current level is 28. She walked around Lionheart City and saw players who were around level one or two. Jiang Qiao is already a big shot.
"Excuse me, where is the place where you can build a house?"
Xia Shan, a relatively casual player, is also very polite when chatting. This is a habit she developed while working. Perhaps Xia Shan will only let herself go when she runs out of materials to build a house.
"Manor." Jiang Qiao mentioned another very important system for professional players. "The manor in Lionheart City has been opened. It is built for players. If you are interested, I can take you there."
"Sorry to trouble you. Just give me the coordinates and I can go there by myself." Xia Shan was very cautious in the face of Jiang Qiao's enthusiasm.
"My friend who went to the dungeon with me hasn't come online yet. I have to go to Lionheart City to buy some potions. Besides, it's impossible for me to kidnap you in the game." Jiang Qiao started the awkward chat mode.
"That's okay. I have an alarm button." Xia Shan thought carefully and answered.
The one-button alarm system is not a function within the Holy Spirit, but a built-in gaming tool of the Tiangong gaming platform. These tools include chat software, live streaming and recording systems, screenshot tools, etc.
Sheng Ling logged into the Tiangong game platform, and Jiang Qiao of course also put this external comprehensive tool in so that players can promote the game Sheng Ling to each other.
"Then do you want me to lead the way?" Jiang Qiao asked again.
"Thanks!"
Xia Shan quickly followed Jiang Qiao and returned to Lionheart City. The entrance to the player manor in Lionheart City was on the most prosperous commercial street in Lionheart City.
This can be said to be the place most frequently visited by players. The NPC stores for commonly used supplies are all here. The professional guilds are located at the end of the commercial street, and at the entrance of the commercial street is the entrance to the player's manor system.
The manor system, as the name suggests, is the player's own "house". This house can be understood as an area that the player can customize.
"It's here." Jiang Qiao pointed to the open space on the street at the entrance of the commercial street.
"But there's nothing here. Wait a minute, I'll see the hint."
When Xia Shan was standing in front of this open space, an NPC in a formal suit suddenly walked up to her. This NPC was a shrewd businessman wearing a top hat and a monocle.
"This is definitely the best location in Lionheart City. Great Holy Spirit, do you need anything?" said the NPC.
A window popped up in front of Xia Shan. There were only two options in the window. The first one was "Manor System Description" and the second one was "Manor Purchase".
Soon Xia Shan clicked into the manor system instructions.
'The manor is a special independent space in Lionheart City. After purchasing the manor, you will get the manor key item. When you arrive at the location, use the manor key to open the portal to the manor.'
"Aren't we just going to build a house on this flat land?" Xia Shan also hoped to buy this piece of land and build a big house for passing players to admire.
"Great Holy Spirit, your residence does exist on this land, but this is a special land. It has multiple independent spaces that can accommodate countless Holy Spirits to build their own manors on this land. But don't worry, as long as your manor is well built, this land will still display your manor in front of millions of people. You can also limit it to only seeing your own manor, but other Holy Spirits will not be able to see it." said the NPC.
To summarize this sentence, this land can be purchased by all players. The players who buy it will enter an independent space, the size of which depends on the level of the manor.
But passers-by passing by can only see the best manor built on this land, and players can also set it to only see their own manor.
Jiang Qiao placed half of the 22 square kilometers of plane fragment that Hai Lan had swallowed up before into this manor system.
"I like this setting!" As soon as Xia Shan heard that she would have to compete with other players, her construction spirit was already burning.
The various attributes of the manor below also made Xia Shan more and more excited. In the manor, players can completely customize their own residences, and the degree of customization is so high that they can move bricks and build houses by themselves.
At the same time, it also provides a recovery effect based on the different creation attributes of the manor. What Xia Shan values most is the bonus of MP recovery!
Maybe she couldn't start her first industrial revolution in other places in the Holy Spirit, but she could in her own manor!
"Do you want to buy it?" the NPC asked again.
"Buy it! I must buy it! How much does it cost!" Xia Shan was completely immersed in the dream of owning a big house in the future.
"You can buy twenty square meters for only one hundred gold coins."
With just this one sentence, the NPC shattered Xia Shan's beautiful dream into pieces.
She opened her back panel and glanced at the money column.
Ten copper coins.
A novice starts with only ten copper coins. One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin.
Now Jiang Qiao will only earn more than ten silver coins from selling the equipment produced in the next level 25 copy.
As Xia Shan spoke, she turned her gaze back to Jiang Qiao.
"I have only saved 20 gold now." Jiang Qiao said that as a player he was not that rich.
"I can save 20 gold at level 28... I should be able to have 100 gold at level 40!" Xia Shan was not discouraged and rekindled her fighting spirit.
The fighting spirit of saving enough money for dowry to buy a house!
"Why don't you try to collect the gold coins?"
Jiang Qiao pointed to the commercial street and told Xia Shan that on the first day of the Holy Spirit's opening to the public, players were already collecting gold coins on the street...
