The spring is bright and everything is growing.
Even the old trees are full of green buds. Under the warm and bright sunshine, the old and the new are so harmonious.
At this moment, two figures, an old man and a young man, came slowly.
The old man is actually still young and strong, with a tall and straight figure, but his head is full of white hair, and his beard is also dotted with gray. His eyes are bright and gentle, like a sunny day after a long period of weathering. There is no trace of anger, except for the trace deep in his eyes. Subtle attachment and expectation.
The young man, only five or six years old, held the old man's hand and jumped around in the green grass, curiously looking at every flower, grass and stone around him.
"Grandpa, walk faster, I'm going to catch that butterfly!"
The little guy simply broke free from the old man's hand, stumbled after a butterfly, and ran forward. Several women followed him from a distance, their expressions full of awe and caution.
The old man waved his hand, and the women chased after him.
"Haha, I used to look forward to it day and night, but I really didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye. I don't know if I can still eat the iced watermelon at home."
The old man muttered to himself with some emotion, and then sat down on a stone pier by the roadside. His rather old face actually showed a bit of naughtiness.
But in the end, it turned into a deep feeling of reluctance. His eyes swept over the plants and trees around him, and his mind could not help but recall the ups and downs of the past twenty years. Every detail was hidden deep in his heart.
"My performance in the past twenty years should be considered barely excellent, right?"
"In the winter of the first year, I killed the Ghost Queen and got 10,000+ units of ghost crystals. I didn't exchange any of them for sale. All of them were used to make the Wood Demon Tower when the Wood Demons rebelled in the spring of the second year. Now think about it. , that ghost queen is really my lucky star, because in the next 19 winters, I didn't even encounter a damn evil ghost, let alone a ghost crystal?"
"So many ghost crystals were made by me into a level 38 Wood Demon Tower. Haha, I dare not say that such a terrifying Wood Demon Tower is unprecedented, but it must be unprecedented. Who would have thought of a Level 38 Wood Demon Tower? The effect brought by the tower was so miraculous that it actually had the function of taming the earth-walking wood demon, so since then, the development of the village has no longer cut down trees on a large scale, because they want to live in harmony."
"Today, I have more than a hundred tame earthly wood demons. They patrol the three thousand kilometers of border. In many cases, they are much more useful than soldiers."
"However, I remember that in the third year, there was still a huge crisis, not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster. In the summer of that year, the sky seemed to have been overturned by the ocean. There were heavy rains for 32 days at a time, and the floods surged. More than ten meters above ground, the town I had worked so hard to build was wiped out overnight, and all 100,000 acres of farmland failed to harvest. Oops, I almost grew old in worry that year."
"There is nothing I can do. I can only consume mana and divinity to build a super large raft overnight. Only then can I rescue nearly two thousand people up and down. Then I can move, move the Wood Demon Tower, change places, and Other villages fought, clashed, and annexed. The next five consecutive years were spent in migration. That is to say, I held the ghost queen's teeth in my hand and was not afraid of the cold and gloomy air in winter. Only then in the ninth year did I finally At that time, it will be completely stable.”
"This 20,000-kilometer wandering migration brought the population under my command to more than 20,000, so I simply built a city. It took three years to build this city. It was such a hard life. Fortunately, the old guys were still there. Now, the attributes of the former village are still there, and everything is fine.”
"This work has lasted another eight years. Before I knew it, I was getting old. Maybe it was a problem set by the village building order. I obviously thought that I could live another three hundred years, but there was a sense that the end was approaching. A bad feeling.”
"Hey, it's good luck that the three ladies passed away one after another. They didn't have to face the tragedy of a scumbag like me leaving without saying goodbye. The children are not very successful. Of course, this may be because of my deliberate indulgence? Who made that boy Zhang Wenyuan be like this? He is excellent, so two years ago, when he was twenty-three years old, he simply gave up his position as city lord."
"What was a small village twenty years ago has now become a city-state with a population of nearly 100,000 and a territory of 3,000 kilometers. It has one big city, five small cities, six fortresses, and two border towns. This territory is surrounded by mountains and rivers. , it’s still very advantageous.”
"I have already seen that Zhang Wenyuan wants to be the king, but he does have some abilities. Before he reaches adulthood at the age of eighteen, he has the largest accumulation of free attribute points. After he reaches adulthood, he directly jumps to the aristocratic level. This I insist on it.”
"But the population is still too small, but I have already handed over the position of city lord, so it is not easy to interfere too much. In the past two years, this kid has done quite well. He is twenty-five years old, in the prime of life, and has three extraordinary attributes. , IQ, EQ, experience, and character are all top-notch.”
"And the new generation of noble generals under him are much more powerful than the old guys like Wu Yuan, Ren En, and Wang Mumu. There are a total of eighteen extraordinary heroes, fifty-two three-star heroes, and captain-level soldiers. 2000, 3000 elite soldiers, 500 hurricane swordsmen of the special unit, 500 heavy cavalry of the special unit Big Horn Deer, plus more than a hundred earthly wood demons, and a level 38 wood demon tower as a backing. If so, I think he is invincible within ten thousand miles."
"However, war is a means after all, and the economy, people's livelihood and productivity are the most important. Now the entire city-state has 10 million acres of farmland, 90 million acres of farmland to be cultivated, and various fruit tree plantations, which can basically guarantee the food supply. .”
"In terms of industry, it's not very good. After all, we are poor and have nothing to do. We can't be too demanding. But at least the city-state has been able to refine steel on a large scale and the weapons and tools it creates are very good."
"In addition, the most important thing is the environment. With the Wood Demon Tower and the more than a hundred tame Earth Wood Demons, it is foreseeable that the development of the city-state in the future is unlikely to cause any damage to the environment. Greening , the pollution must reach a relative balance, otherwise the earth-walking wood demons will rebel, and the trees will also rebel. This is something that the future leaders of the city-state cannot ignore. After all, the proportion of senior people in the city-state is still very large today."
"Thanks to the Xianxia village building order, among the children under ten years old in the city-state, the outstanding population accounts for more than 50%, the elite population accounts for more than 5%, and the noble population accounts for more than 1% , king-level population, well, there are only 17 of them at present, which is really not that many."
"I still don't believe it. When these little bastards grow up, even if their intrigues become more fierce and their plots become more sophisticated, the winner should always be the best. But Zhang Wenyuan is already working on this problem. Deal with it, wish him good luck, and wish me good luck."
After reviewing all this, Zhang Yang sat there with a smile. His whole person seemed to have turned into a statue, without any breath. Only a piece of information appeared in front of his eyes.
"The control phase of the fantasy village building mission is over and we are entering the cutscene phase - please choose the screen mode/text mode. Please pay 10,000 energy points for the former."
“I choose words.”
