Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1454 The Game Arena 4
The game started three days ago at 9:00 AM, so the three-day newbie protection period also ended at 9:00 AM today.

The game system reminded players that the newbie protection period had ended. Many people were unaware of this change until a monster scratched them while they were fighting, causing them to lose health, at which point they screamed in fright.

Many people had the same reaction. Only now did they feel real emotions. Before, when they were invincible, they didn't feel the reality of the battle at all. It felt like they were playing a low-difficulty holographic online game. Now that they were being scratched by monsters, they felt pain and lost health. They realized that this was not a game, but reality.

Soon, many people stopped fighting.

Soon after, someone noticed a fenced structure that suddenly appeared not far away, with arrow towers inside that were constantly killing the monsters around it.

This is the outskirts of the city, stretching as far as the eye can see, and everyone can see it at a glance.

Many people saw this place and some commented, "Is that the territory mentioned on the game panel?"

"should be."

"I don't know how much it will cost."

They had seen the territories appear on the panel before, but many were quite far from them and very expensive. In addition, they were invincible before, so they ignored them. After all, it was one thing for them to be so far away, but they also had to charge dozens of copper coins for entry fees. Who would go there?

Of course, they wouldn't go now. You see, when they were invincible, it would take them a long time to collect dozens of copper coins. Now that they're invincible, it's even harder to collect dozens of copper coins. Who would want to go to a territory that charges dozens of copper coins as an entry fee? They simply can't afford to stay there.

Seeing that fighting monsters would cause them to be scratched, lose health, and feel pain, they got scared and didn't want to fight anymore. So they decided to find a territory to live in. Now that they saw a territory nearby, they naturally started discussing the cost.

Then someone said, "The closest one to us is called Yong'an Territory. The entrance fee is only five copper coins, which is much cheaper than other territories. Let's go take a look. Territories have a limit on the number of people they can occupy. If this cheap territory is full, we'll have to go to the more expensive territories."

"Is it true that cheap things are often of poor quality?"

"What's the big deal? Let's go check it out first. If it's not good, we'll just leave. There are so many of us, are we afraid of what he might do?"

"makes sense."

Since it was the cheapest option around, and there were many of them, they weren't worried about any shady dealings, so they naturally went over to take a look.

Then the system notification came: "You have discovered the Yong'an territory. Do you wish to enter? An entrance fee of five copper coins is required."

There's a sign next to the Yong'an territory indicating a seven-day countdown to the newbie protection period, meaning that the Yong'an territory is currently safe.

The entrance fee was only five copper coins. These people had been fighting for days, so they definitely had five copper coins. They all rushed in right away.

Once inside, their game panel showed that they had become temporary residents of the Yong'an territory, with a residency period of 24 hours. This meant that after 24 hours, they would have to continue paying a territory residency fee of five copper coins.

They knew all of this; temporary residents were charged on a daily basis.

You can also become a formal resident. As you can see, formal residents pay 100 copper coins, and once you become a formal resident, you no longer need to pay the daily temporary residence fee of 5 copper coins. However, most people don't want to become formal residents for now because who knows what will happen to this territory after the seven-day newbie protection period ends? What if it gets overrun by monsters? Wouldn't it be a waste to have paid 100 copper coins to become a formal resident?

Moreover, they've only earned about a hundred copper coins in the past three days. Even if they sell the supplies, they'll probably only get a hundred or two copper coins. Now, no one dares to go out and fight monsters anymore; they just want to stay in their territory. With that little money, they still need to eat, drink, and pay for lodging. How could they dare to pay a hundred copper coins? Otherwise, they'll run out of money and won't be able to afford food or drink.

Once inside the territory, everyone felt relieved because they were protected by an invincible state, preventing the monsters from entering. They then began to exchange items with each other.

Some people sell what they don't want and exchange it for what they do need; if they don't need something, they exchange it for money.

Then everyone discovered that there was no tax to pay for bartering, but if you were to sell it for money, you would have to pay a 5% transaction tax.

This tax rate was also based on the tax rates of some territories in the original world. Many territories have a tax rate of 10%, and some even higher. Her 5% is relatively low. After these people communicate with people from other territories and learn that other territories charge higher fees, they will probably be willing to stay in this territory.

Linlang has now posted a task in the task hall to purchase materials such as wood and stone.

These are all things needed for construction.

Buildings are related to the prosperity and population limit of a territory, and everything is interconnected.

Because many people lost their newbie protection period, and were frightened by the pain of losing health while fighting monsters, people within a kilometer of Linlang's territory saw Linlang's territory and found that it was the cheapest among all the surrounding territories, so many people came in.

With so many people coming in, there were naturally a lot of materials. After all, with three days of invincibility, even the dumbest person would know to farm more. So Linlang collected these things very quickly.

Linlang has now built some more buildings, such as houses, to increase the territory's population capacity and prosperity level.

Then we built some arrow towers to kill more monsters. We couldn't waste the seven-day invincibility period.

However, the territory was not large, and eight arrow towers were enough to cover all directions. Building more would be a waste, so Linlang had no choice but to give up.

In addition, Linlang also created some farmland and issued tasks for players to grow crops and herbs. These will be needed for the territory's canteen and pharmacy in the future, and will also allow players to earn money. This will give players who don't want to fight monsters a way out, make them feel a sense of belonging to the territory, and eventually they will join the territory as official residents.

Sure enough, many residents found planting tasks in the task hall. Although the income was not much, it was enough to increase their income. Soon, some people accepted the task and went to farm. Those who did not accept the task regretted it and planned to wait for the next simple task to come out so that they could accept it.

Linlang not only let the arrow tower kill her, but also ran out to kill monsters.

After the newbie protection period ended, she gained a lot of points in defense, constitution, and speed. In addition, she was wearing purple equipment, making her strong in combat and fast. She could hit monsters, but the monsters couldn't hit her, making it very convenient to farm monsters.

Of course, the main reason is that the monsters are currently at a low level. Otherwise, if the level were higher, Linlang wouldn't be able to defeat them either.

The monsters in the game gradually increase in level as the player progresses; there aren't a bunch of powerful monsters at the beginning, otherwise the player wouldn't be able to survive.
