Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1484 The Game Arena 34
As mentioned before, the territory will expand after upgrading, so if you keep upgrading, it is indeed possible to reduce the distance between two territories to less than three kilometers, at which point they can be merged.

After learning about the merging method, Linlang immediately looked at her eleven territories to see which ones were close enough to be merged.

It's definitely not her Yong'an territory, because Yong'an territory is in the suburbs, and it's certainly far away from other territories.

Instead, it was a territory near the city center that Linlang acquired from the Lord of Wind and Cloud.

This is normal. There are many people in the city center, so proportionally, there are also many people who have obtained the Lord's Token. With more Lord's Tokens, there are naturally more territories to build, and they will definitely be very close to each other. As long as you upgrade slightly and expand the territory, the distance will be less than three kilometers, and then you can merge them.

Linlang immediately found two territories that were closest to each other, thinking that as long as one of them was upgraded to level four, the distance between them should be less than three kilometers, and then they could merge the territories.

The territories definitely need to be merged; otherwise, having too many territories will be difficult to manage.

Some might wonder, what if several territories don't belong to the same person, but to several people? Because they're located in the city center, the territories are too close together. After upgrading, the territories are no longer close together, so what happens if there's no space left for further upgrades?

There's no need to worry about that. As mentioned before, this world has been gamified, so if this happens, the game will pop up a prompt, allowing territories that want to upgrade but have nowhere to upgrade because they are too close to other territories to choose a new location. In the original world, when people in the city center upgraded to level two territories, some people were too close to their neighbors and their territories were relocated.

So theoretically, Linlang could also make some territories too close together, forcing the game to display the territory relocation option, and then Linlang could place the territory where she wanted.

Linlang also planned to test this out. She could try it out in a few territories in the middle of the territory. After all, if someone upgrades their territory and compresses the area of ​​this territory smaller and smaller until it can no longer be upgraded, this option would easily pop up. Then she would be able to place the territory wherever she wanted.

Linlang is now waiting for the territory near the city center to accumulate 5,000 residents so that it can be upgraded to a level four territory.

Since it's close to the city center, it's actually quite easy to accumulate a large number of official residents, because the city center may not have much else, but it has a lot of people.

Especially when compared to the various benefits of other territories around them, none of them are as good as those under Linlang's control, so people will definitely flock to Linlang's territories.

Especially recently, some level-two territories have been breached by monsters, and everyone has started wandering. They will definitely go to whichever territory has the best benefits.

In fact, even those who weren't homeless were tempted to come to Linlang's territory because of its good benefits. After all, these territories in the city center were only a few kilometers apart, and people were willing to take the risk to check out the better benefits in other territories. It wasn't difficult to accumulate 5,000 residents in about ten days, and Linlang officially upgraded that territory to a level four territory.

She now has many territories, high income, and naturally, a lot of resources at her disposal. As long as she doesn't upgrade all her territories at the same time, but only upgrades one particular territory, she won't lack resources; what she lacks is the number of official residents.

After upgrading to a level four territory, Linlang saw that it was indeed less than three kilometers away from the adjacent level three territory, so they could be merged. Linlang immediately chose to merge.

After choosing to merge, only one territory name can be retained. Linlang took one character from each of the two territory names and recombined them to create a new territory.

After the merger, the adjacent level 3 territory also became part of the level 4 territory, which is equivalent to it being a level 4 territory. Of course, the player still needs to upgrade the walls and arrow towers of that level 3 territory.

But at least it saves on accumulating residents and the resources and copper coins needed to upgrade the territory, which is a huge saving. With such benefits, some ambitious lords will probably be even more eager to conquer other people's territories and then use this method to quickly expand their territory.

After territories are merged, you will not lose a Lord Token, or the merged territory will drop a Lord Token after becoming a new territory, allowing the lord to rebuild the territory. Instead, the new territory will have two tokens.

This is a disadvantage, because once someone conquers a territory, the lord will lose two tokens. It is estimated that some people may hesitate to merge territories in order to avoid losing two tokens at once, which is equivalent to having more lordship opportunities.

Clearly, merging territories has both advantages and disadvantages; it all depends on each person's choice.

Meanwhile, the residents of that level-four territory were overjoyed. They had only been promoted from level two to level three for a little over ten days, and now they had been promoted to level four, which was far superior to the surrounding territories. They felt much safer and thought that they wouldn't have to worry about their territory being breached by monsters for a considerable period of time. They thought to themselves that it was great to become a subordinate territory under the Yong'an territory. This lord had eleven territories under his command, and he was indeed very wealthy. He could be promoted to level four territory so easily. Their luck had finally turned around.

As a result, they not only upgraded their territory to level four, but also expanded its territory. Soon, they discovered that they had merged with the neighboring territory. The area became larger, and the population increased. The lord issued a notice saying that the merger of the two territories and the increase in the number of official residents would help them quickly upgrade to level five territory. This was Linlang's explanation, fearing that the residents of the two territories might object to the merger.

Everyone naturally wants their territory level to rise higher and higher, so they have no objection to merging. Anyway, even if they did have objections, it wouldn't matter, because they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in their territory. This isn't the end of the world. If you cause trouble somewhere, you might at most be locked up for a few days. But if you dare to cause trouble in your territory, the lord has the complete right to expel you and can drive you away directly. Naturally, they don't want to leave a safe territory with a higher level. With Linlang's explanation, no one has any objections. On the contrary, they are looking forward to upgrading to a level 5 territory as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, while Linlang was busy conquering territories, her father and his family, who had been looking for her, discovered that she hadn't been in the territory for several days. They couldn't help but wonder if she had died. — It took Linlang several days to conquer those ten territories. After all, each territory was some distance away. Not to mention the time spent attacking, the travel time on the road also took some time. So it was normal that it took her many days to conquer those territories.
