"When I was riding a bicycle on the ancient city wall, I never thought that one day I could ride a bicycle on the city wall that I led to build."
Yang Yi was riding a bicycle, facing the breeze, looking at the farmland full of crops and the ever-changing houses in the distance, he felt extremely comfortable.
Some even don't know where they are. It has been nearly three years since they came here, and they are gradually getting used to everything here.
Seeing the city I imagined being built little by little, even better than I imagined, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable in words.
Many of the supplies that Yang Yi bought from the game mall at the earliest are no longer usable, or have become very dilapidated, and the once familiar things disappeared little by little.
These two bicycles were not taken out by Yang Yi. Today, after spending a lot of effort to build the city wall, he finally took them out and asked Hei Lie to ride them together.
"If you want to ride, I will accompany you."
Yang Yi said with a smile: "We can't make bicycles now."
"Don't underestimate the skills of craftsmen."
Yang Yi also thinks about it, the people here are very smart, and they have their own strengths and talents.
As long as they are willing to ponder and learn, many things can't be difficult for them.
Imitation and invention are also different, the former is relatively easier.
At this time, Xiao Hui came over and jumped in front of Yang Yi, Xiao Bai didn't dare to be lonely, and flew to the front, an ostrich and a goose showed his sense of existence there.
Xiaobai has grown very big now, as big as an ostrich on the earth, but standing next to Xiaohui, which is bigger than an ordinary ostrich, becomes petite.
"Gulu Gulu—"
Xiaobai and Xiaohui yelled together, the two little ones have been together for a long time, and their yelling sounds are similar.
Seeing that the bicycle felt the crisis, the two little guys quickly jumped out to act.
Xiao Bai can also ride now, and used to compete with Xiao Hui for favor.
Later, Black Hunter took the shot and told Xiaobai that it was in charge of protecting Yang Yi. It had strong fighting power and was very agile, and it could fly higher and last longer than Xiaohui.
Only then was Xiaobai slightly persuaded, but usually he would fight with Xiaohui a lot, but it made the two pets more and more fierce in fighting.
Xiaobai's current level of heads-up has already surpassed that of the Goose King, and he usually trains with Black Hunt, and he is more and more like the number one fighting goose.
The geese of the Xinghuo tribe are different from the geese of other places. They are part of the combat power. The strength of the goose army is very strong, and they are good at guarding crops and farmland.
The bumper crops in the fields can easily attract some 'thieves', such as wild boar herds, which have been wiped out several times.
Every time they attack, they bring a lot of losses, but these fighting geese will make that loss back.
They have a stronger desire to fight than humans, as long as they are stared at by them, they will die endlessly, and they can't even call back.
Especially when wild beasts spoil their favorite fruits and vegetables, it is really red-eyed, no matter who you do first.
Humans will also consider the pros and cons, and they don't care about it at all.
So every time, those predators can basically be wiped out, and a lot of food can be added to the tribe.
The Goose King is the absolute leader of this group of geese, and he is more cruel than humans.
Yang Yi originally thought that since the geese were so powerful, the tribe would not eat geese in the future, but at least eat unfertilized goose eggs.
The Goose King did not take away such a privilege. It proudly announced that not all geese could enter its team, and it had to select carefully. Those stupid geese would eat as soon as they ate them.
Although Xiaobai has a high force value and is just around the corner to surpass Goose King, in fact, it is already difficult to distinguish between top and bottom.
But compared to Goose King's management ability, Xiaobai doesn't have it.
Yang Yi has always lamented that the Goose King has become a spirit, and the orcs especially dote on it, thinking that their ancestors are like the Goose King.
Later, they were combined with human beings to have them.
Even later, it became more and more evil, and there was a complete origin story, although no matter how I heard it, I felt that the story was a combination of White Snake and other folk tales.
Fortunately, although everyone worships the Goose King, they don't have the idea of cross-species union, otherwise Yang Yi really doesn't know how to deal with it.
Yang Yi laughed: "I know you are here, you are the first, the bicycle is just for entertainment."
When Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai heard this, they jumped up and down in front, very happy.
"With this city wall, we can feel more at ease."
Yang Yi stopped at one place, looking at the wide and deep moat below, he could still see a ferocious crocodile emerging up.
The moat of the Xinghuo Tribe has spread across two continents, and it is even very dramatic.
It is said that the city is guarded by demons left by the gods, and anyone who dares to break in will be torn to pieces. Ugly and powerful, they are the undisputed kings of the water.
But even so, when the city wall was not built, there were still fish that slipped through the moat and climbed into the tribe to do evil.
Every time it is inevitable that some people will be injured or even killed.
There are too many hidden dangers on the Great Plains.
The denser the population, although it is not easy to be attacked by wild beasts, it is easy to attract raiders.
Some wild beasts seem to be ignorant of the danger. No matter how many times they are expelled and slaughtered, they will still come next time.
It's like those wild boars who ruined the crops, who don't know how many times they have been slaughtered by the Goose King and the guards, but when the crops are ripe, they will still rush over in groups.
Everyone really loves and hates these beasts. What they love is that they can get a lot of food every time they come, but what they hate is that they will cause a lot of food and so on to suffer relatively large losses every time.
Yang Yi has always had a sense of distrust in this dangerous world. After the high city wall was built, he obviously relaxed a lot psychologically.
At least one place in this world is relatively safe.
Hei Lie didn't say a word, but put his arm around his shoulder.
Yang Yi was curious: "I thought you would say that you don't have to worry about all this."
Hei Lie smiled: "What you want is not only my protection, but also the peace of a place. This city wall is more built in your heart."
"It's becoming more and more strange to say something."
Yang Yi sighed, but he had to admit that what Hei Lie said was the truth.
There are many masters around him to protect him, who can let him escape from danger in the first place.
But he is not alone, and what he hopes to see is that there is a piece of land that is relatively safe, just like his hometown.
Although it can't be done once and for all, no matter where it is, there are risks, but this high city wall can still resist many foreign invasions.
The Starfire tribe is becoming more and more prosperous, and will be coveted by more and more forces.
"Our next job is to stabilize the situation and prevent internal problems."
Many civilizations were not destroyed by outsiders, but because of their own problems, foreign enemies took advantage of it.
The Xinghuo Tribe now has more than 70,000 people, and most of them have obtained official "green cards", and there are more than 5,000 people who are still non-staff.
In addition to those who came to seek refuge one after another during this period, there are also many newborns.
If it weren't for the fact that the Starfire Tribe had already restricted outsiders, this number would have been even greater.
It used to be a remote corner, but now it has become the bustling center of the Eastern Continent.
Many tribes have considered migrating to the vicinity, wanting to become affiliated with the Starfire tribe, in order to obtain blessings, and some tribes have already done so.
This is also a helpless choice. After natural disasters appeared in other places, beast tides began to appear again, which was a fatal blow to many tribes.
If they could be stationed near the Xinghuo Tribe, then if there was a wave of beasts coming here, the Xinghuo Tribe would definitely not sit idly by, and they would have more hope of survival.
And they worked hard to join the Starfire Tribe, and life would be easier in the future.
Everyone can see the Xinghuo tribe's attitude towards the tribe.
"There are already enough people in Yicheng. Our population is growing very fast. I don't think we should accept new people. We have been recruiting new people for the past three years. It's time to settle down and upgrade the management. .”
The Xinghuo tribe as a whole is stable, and there are no conflicts, at most some minor conflicts.
Most of the people here are straightforward, so everyone will speak out on the spot and solve whatever they have, instead of holding it in their hearts and thinking about it more and more wrong.
So it seems that there are often duels, which seem to be very chaotic, but in fact the conflicts are resolved quickly.
Everyone is used to speaking with force, and they will not be unconvinced just because they lost, and will always think about revenge next time.
They admire force and respect it. If they lose, they will only be unwilling to reconcile and continue to work hard, but they will not come up with some schemes because of anger.
Such people are not welcome, and even if many people speak with their heads, this will not change.
Yang Yi and Hei Lie also consciously maintained this kind of atmosphere. It is much easier to manage and resolve conflicts if everyone is frank and direct than a bellyful of bad water.
But this is just because their transformation has not been going on for a long time, and Yang Yi is only a month away from being in this world to three years.
Therefore, many habits are still retained in the past, and it will be hard to say in the future. Human behavior and living habits are closely related.
At present, the Xinghuo tribe can basically guarantee food and clothing, so it is time to calm down and think about how to manage it in the future.
"It's really time for us to straighten out the interior again, and we are developing too fast, in fact, there are many divisions of labor that are not reasonable."
Yang Yi nodded, "It's just that we have already restrained ourselves before, and it doesn't have much effect. Those who want to come will still come."
This is also related to their less firm attitude, because they are capable of digesting such a large population.
The development of agriculture and light industry allows them to use handmade products in exchange for more food when agriculture cannot provide enough food.
Now even if it increases to 100,000, Yang Yi is confident that it can be solved, but the more people there are, the bigger the plate is, and the more prone to internal problems, so he stopped.
If those people hadn't been unable to live in their hometown, they wouldn't have traveled all the way here.
They may not accept it, but the more nearby tribes and populations, the more resources will be lacking.
The nearest big forest here is the Black Forest, which is not suitable for human survival. Another safe forest is the territory of the green python tribe.
The safest place near the wasteland is occupied by the Starfire Tribe, and other places are not so rich in resources.
If these tribes still live the same way as before according to the situation of refuge in the past two years, it will definitely cause disputes.
"If they want to come, then come, we can't stop it."
"But in this way, this land will not be peaceful."
Black Hunter looked in the direction of the wasteland: "There are so many resources in the wasteland, even if there are another 100,000 people, there is no need to worry at all."
"But it's too dangerous there, without any shelter, it's easy to be attacked by ferocious beasts."
"There is no place that is really safe. Human beings have dug down the land bit by bit. Besides, they don't have to go very deep to have water, and the risk factor is much smaller. As long as they twist into a rope, they can resist those beasts. Moreover, it is not because of us ."
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to build another city?"
"Why not?" Hei Lie smiled confidently, "We already have the experience of building a city. Although we need to improve it now, we already have the initial experience."
When Yang Yi built Yicheng, the limit was only 100,000 people, which is a relatively comfortable state.
So I just said that I will no longer accept outsiders, which is to leave a room for the city to develop, and it is also for the purpose of upgrading management.
If they build another city according to their model and let them be responsible for their own profits and losses instead of directly absorbing them, then there will be no conflict of interest with the current Yicheng people.
"This is indeed a good idea!" Yang Yi's eyes lit up, if he built a few more cities, would he have a chance to complete his task!
The number of people that can be attracted here is limited, but he can go to other places!
With experience and enough supplies, trying to do this will be much easier than at first.
"In this way, it is really possible for me to complete a million tasks!"
"What task?" Black Hunter heard the word keenly.
Yang Yi didn't expect to say his own words out of excitement. In fact, he didn't care about any tasks. After all, the million people are too ridiculous.
But occasionally he can't help blurting out, after all, he still misses home.
This is probably the characteristic of Chinese people, who always feel that it is difficult to leave their homeland.
Yang Yi pursed his lips and remained silent.
It was not the first time Black Hunter heard this word, Yang Yi brought it every time without explaining it in detail.
"Can't you tell me now?"
Yang Yi didn't know how to speak, after all, the two of them were already together and swore in the temple.
Although there was no grand wedding ceremony, the registration and certificate collection was the same as everyone else's, and the ceremony was held collectively, which was not special, but that day was an unforgettable time for Yang Yi.
If he has been thinking about leaving, it is very disrespectful to the partner.
But sometimes when he sees some hope, he can't help thinking like this.
Hei Lie didn't continue to ask questions, but just stood beside Yang Yi quietly waiting for the answer.
I don't know how much time has passed, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui both felt that the atmosphere was not right, they backed away very winkingly, not wanting to be affected.
Black Hunt finally sighed deeply, and compromised: "It's okay, don't force yourself if you don't want to say it. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
"What if I want to leave here and return to my world?"
Hei Lie's hand on Yang Yi's shoulder was unconsciously clenched, and he quickly relaxed, retracting his hand and turning sideways slightly to cover up his gaffe.
After a while, I turned around, looked at Yang Yi, and looked straight at him:
"I still say that, just take me with you."
Yang Yi smiled and held his hand: "I have a chance to leave here."
Hei Hunter's whole body tensed up, trying hard not to exert force on his hands.
"As long as I can satisfy the food and clothing of one million people, and take away the same item value from the space, I can complete the task and leave here, and return to the place where I came alive."
Hei Lie was silent, he had vaguely guessed something, and now he heard with his own ears that his heart was in a mess and he couldn't calm down.
It took a long time for Hei Lie to pull out a sentence: "You really were brought by God."
"Probably be regarded as a god in a certain sense. I have actually lost my life. This is a deal between me and him."
"What if you can't finish it!" Hei Lie became nervous when he heard this.
Yang Yi shook his head: "He didn't answer my question. He probably thinks that if I want to live, I will work hard towards my goal."
Hei Lie breathed a sigh of relief: "I think God knows your character very well, so he sent you here."
"Probably, in my world, although there are dangerous places, even more destructive. But I grew up in a peaceful world, and I am very afraid of the dangers here."
Yang Yi admits that he is timid, but he also has a little bit of adventurous spirit.
So coming here is timid, and at the same time making various choices at risk, all of which are for a better life.
Yang Yi felt that it was definitely not for nothing that the Great God of Time Traveling gave him such a big golden finger, so he was very obedient and followed the Great God of Time Traveling's idea to complete all this seriously.
Although he felt in his heart that the task was very difficult to accomplish, even if it could be done within a few decades, he still did it as required.
"I was an accident."
Yang Yi's heart twitched, feeling very uncomfortable: "Sorry, I..."
Hei Lie kissed his lips, interrupted his words, and left after a while: "I am very lucky to be this accident."
Yang Yi looked at him, but didn't see anything hidden.
He could feel that Black Hunter was depressed, but there was no sadness or pain.
"Whether you go to the ends of the earth, I will follow you, you will never be able to get rid of me, even God can't stop it!"
Yang Yi smiled: "Okay."
Hei Lie learned of Yang Yi's mission, but he didn't change his mind because of it, and still actively promoted the establishment of a new city.
"Don't worry if..."
"Don't think so much, just do what you want, don't let yourself be chained." Black Hunter interrupted him directly.
Yang Yi stared at him closely: "You don't have to force it, I'm really homesick..."
"You don't need to make a choice, that's not what you have to think about. What you need to think about now is how to build Yicheng better, and how to build a new city. The task is not important, the important thing is what you want What you do and what you want to achieve is the most important thing.”
Black Hunter looked serious.
Yang Yi smiled: "It seems that I am a little too affectionate."
"I know that you are by my side now, that's enough."
Black Hunter's calm face relieved Yang Yi's burden a lot.
Although he has never deliberately thought about it, Yang Yi still inevitably feels pressured. He can't imagine how to make a choice one day.
Especially the concealment of Black Hunter made him feel very uncomfortable. After confessing, at least he didn't feel guilty about cheating.
"My lord envoy, if you still feel guilty, you might as well give me some practical reward." Hei Lie blinked at Yang Yi and hinted frantically.
Yang Yi gave him a helpless look, got on Xiaohui, and when he was about to leave, he dropped a good word and ran away.
Xiao Bai ran after him, and a goose feather landed on Hei Lie's head.
Hei Lie took off the goose feather from his head with a smile, smiled very complacently, and hummed a ditty in a good mood.
Yang Yi rode Xiaohui to the canal construction site with Xiaobai and a few guards. The canal has already been dug very far, and according to the current project, it can be dug by this time next year.
This is a very large project. Originally it was only for drinking water, but now it is necessary to consider the surrounding water supply to facilitate more people to live nearby.
The depths of the wasteland, especially near water sources, are dangerous, but there are still many relatively safe places along the way, but the water problem makes it difficult to survive.
But once the canal is opened, this problem will no longer exist, and it will be more conducive to human survival.
In the beginning, Yang Yi simply wanted to divert water, enough for the people of the Xinghuo tribe to survive, and a city of 100,000 people could already give Yang Yi enough sense of security.
As for whether he can satisfy a million people, Yang Yi has always let himself go with the flow, otherwise it would be too much torment.
But now there is an opportunity, whether it is due to Yang Yiji's wild ambitions or to complete the task and go home, he wants to continue to develop, so the scale of the canal is larger than before, and the construction period is longer.
"God's envoy!" He walked towards Yang Yi with a red face and a happy face.
Yang Yi looked at him and said with a smile: "It seems that everything is going well."
"Hey, it's all thanks to the blessings God has brought you."
"How is the canal now?"
"Everything went very smoothly. Without accidents, the project will be completed within the scheduled time, or even ahead of schedule."
"This is really good news. This canal is of great significance to our tribe, so we must not be careless."
"Don't worry, God Envoy! I will definitely supervise!" Hong Guang patted his chest to assure.
Yang Yi walked around and looked around, and was very satisfied with the current results. These people are very serious and hardworking, and he came here more just to express his concern for everyone.
The divine envoy must maintain its mystery at a high level, but at the same time, it must not separate itself from the masses, and must listen to the voices of the masses.
"Envoy, I heard that the tribe wants to build a new city?" Hong Guang asked in a low voice.
There is no official rumor about this matter, but it is not surprising that someone heard the wind.
Hongguang is also an important manager, and he is qualified to know many things. It's just that he has been staying at the construction site with the canal diggers, so he is not so well informed about the tribe's affairs.
"There are too many people who want to seek refuge, and Yicheng can no longer accept too many people. But in the spirit of humanitarianism, we can't sit idly by. We can give these people certain assistance and let them rebuild their homes."
Hong Guang was surprised: "There really is such a thing! This is really great!"
"Why? You also have relatives and friends who want to come to seek refuge?"
Many tribes here are also related to each other, so many people follow along and come to seek refuge.
Not only the Eastern Continent people, but also the Orcs.
The reason why the number of people soared so quickly was because those hidden orcs found that there were no orcs in the Xinghuo tribe. Many orcs lived well there and wanted to join them.
The orcs usually seem to disappear without a trace, but when they are willing to show up, they realize that the number of them is very large!
"It's not me, but many people on the construction site came here to test. If our tribe is true to the rumors, their tribesmen will follow. Unexpectedly, the last trade fair said that they would not accept people, and many people felt I'm worrying."
