Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1456 The Game Arena 6
To dominate the territory.

This territory is about 20 kilometers away from Linlang, and it is already located in the densely populated area of ​​the city center, so the territory has never lacked people.

The landowner built the land in a nearby small park, a relatively flat area that was convenient for building the land.

Don't worry about not being allowed to build in places that aren't yours. Monsters are everywhere; they've already taken over the world. If they say you can't build in places that aren't yours, go talk to the monsters first.

For example, Linlang was built on a plain before, and the landowner didn't come out to stop it. It was because the plain was full of monsters, and the landowner didn't have the ability to stop it. After all, the landowner probably didn't dare to leave his home to come and stop it.

Moreover, they didn't know who built the territory, and even if they wanted to find someone to protest, they couldn't find anyone, because Linlang built the territory while hiding her identity.

Of course, not all lords would conceal their identities. Some lords were very high-profile. After all, it's like wearing fine clothes in the dark if you don't return home in glory. So, as a lord, you naturally have to show off.

Since this territory is close to the densely populated city center, it is naturally not short of people. Therefore, it is the territory with the highest fees in the vicinity. Temporary residents have to pay 20 copper coins per day, while formal residents pay 500 copper coins.

It's so high up that ordinary people can't get in except for the rich, but because it's a densely populated area, there are always people who can afford to live there, so he never had to worry about people not coming in.

Putting everything else aside, every day someone will encounter danger. What do you do when you encounter danger? Naturally, you rush into the territory to hide, and that's how you make money.

That's right. Because this territory is too expensive, most people don't stay here, but they still fight monsters near the territory. If they encounter danger, they rush into the territory, pay for a day, and hide temporarily.

Since you won't encounter danger every day, it's still worthwhile.

Zongheng Territory made a lot of money using this method, earning almost as much as Linlang, which relied on low profit margins and high sales volume.

This is the advantage of having a large group.

However, these people only rush in to avoid danger when they encounter it, so naturally no one would be willing to spend 500 copper coins to become a formal resident, since that's too much.

So after the newbie protection period ended, Zongheng Territory was still a level 1 territory, and then it was immediately hit hard by reality.

The walls of a level 1 territory have so little health and defense; they can't withstand any monster attacks.

It's a bit better during the day, as there are other players nearby fighting monsters, so after being attacked, the lord can repair the walls and still hold out.

At night, no player dared to go out and fight monsters. Players within the territory wouldn't go out, and players outside the territory huddled together in their pre-apocalyptic houses. As a result, the territory was constantly attacked by monsters, and the walls quickly crumbled. Even if he repaired the walls, they would soon be in danger again and require further repairs. If this continued, not only would he not be able to stay up all night, but his resources and copper coins would also run out.

Seeing this, the lord of the vast territory panicked and quickly jumped out to ask everyone to pay a fee to become official residents so that he could upgrade his territory to level two, otherwise his territory would soon be breached.

"If our territory is destroyed, you'll be in danger too, won't you?"

But the temporary residents of the territory were not threatened by him. Most of them had only come to the territory temporarily to hide when they encountered danger. They were used to surviving outside. So they said immediately, "Wait for the fees for formal residents and we will join immediately."

Asking them to pay is out of the question, but if it's free, then I might as well join and give it a try. Otherwise, who would want to pay 500 copper coins?

The lord was naturally displeased upon hearing this and said, "There is no free option..." Seeing the displeased expressions on everyone's faces, he could only mutter, "The minimum is one hundred copper coins."

This is true.

Moreover, he was unwilling to lower the price to 100 copper coins, because he could originally collect 500 copper coins per person, but now it was reduced to 100 copper coins. For 100 people, he would lose 40,000 copper coins, which was a huge sum of money, and he was too reluctant to part with it.

He was afraid of danger and never liked going out to fight monsters, so he relied on the territory's income to buy luxurious equipment to arm himself. He thought that even if the territory encountered danger, his equipment was good and he wouldn't die. He had too little money, so how could he improve his combat power?

But the current situation is pressing, and he doesn't want his territory to go bankrupt unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a lord anymore, which is something he doesn't want to see. After all, being a lord is a very high position, and he doesn't want to live in someone else's territory—once a territory is breached and not repaired within the stipulated time, the lord will lose his territory.

The man reluctantly changed the price to one hundred copper coins, and after begging and pleading, one hundred people finally paid the money and became official residents. He then quickly upgraded to a level two territory and built better walls and arrow towers, which saved his territory.

—Building so many things requires a lot of copper coins and materials. This person didn't have enough money and materials, so he had to beg and plead to borrow them again. Those people saw that he had built a level two territory, so the territory should be safe. As long as the territory was safe, he would have money to pay back the rent in the future. That's why they lent him the money. Otherwise, if the territory was not safe, they wouldn't have lent him the money.

However, after all this trouble, he had run out of money and supplies. He planned to wait until 24 hours had passed before changing the fee back to 500 copper coins to prevent anyone from taking advantage of him. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly spend money to become a formal resident—the fee standard could only be changed once a day.

It must be said that on this day, many territories temporarily changed the price to 100 copper coins to become a formal resident, but the price was restored to the original price the next day.

Some lords were foolish enough to set up automatic wall repairs during the day when things seemed alright, and then went to sleep. They didn't expect the damage to be so severe at night, which quickly depleted their reserves. They slept soundly and turned off system notifications, only to find their territory had been breached and monsters had invaded before they realized the problem. By then, even if they lowered the fees for regular residents to 100 copper coins, no one would pay. They were afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete the repairs within the allotted time, and their money would be wasted. Many temporary residents simply ran away.

Others weren't stupid, but because they hadn't prepared enough materials and didn't have enough residents, even if they begged and pleaded, they couldn't complete their goals and their territories ended up in trouble. After all, not everyone is as lucky as the lord who dominated the territory, whose temporary residents were willing to pay to become official residents and lend him money and materials.

Most people in the territory were unwilling to lend things for fear of losing them. Instead, seeing that the situation was not good, they went to a nearby level-two territory with the small group they had acted with before, abandoning this unsafe place.
