Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1504 The Game Arena 54
Linlang was unaware that the fact that the original owner's ex-boyfriend almost discovered the Yong'an territory was her doing. However, even if she knew, Linlang wasn't worried, because she could simply deny it. From her investigation of the original owner's ex-boyfriend, she realized that this scumbag had harmed more than just the original owner's daughter; there were many others. As a result, the list of enemies was quite long, and it was impossible for her to be the first person that came to mind.

Meanwhile, the original owner's ex-boyfriend was like a stray dog, searching everywhere for territory to stay in. Although he had temporarily found one, if the territory he stayed in was destroyed, he would have to continue wandering in the future, and his life would definitely be in danger.

At the same time, as long as Linlang continues to develop and its territory grows larger, it will become increasingly difficult for this person to find a territory outside of Linlang in the vicinity. They will have to search further and further out, and if they continue to wander like this, they will inevitably run into trouble sooner or later.

The same thing happened to the original owner's father's family and the original owner's mother's former stepson's family.

Linlang doesn't need to deal with them. As long as she continues to grow stronger and squeeze their living space, forcing them to stay away from Linlang's territory and look for other territories with poor benefits, they will eventually collapse.

That's enough. This is revenge on that bunch of scum.

After driving away the group of scoundrels who had caused trouble for her or the original owner of the body, Linlang's life revolved around constantly expanding her territory and upgrading it to fight monsters, which made her life quite peaceful.

A level 5 territory requires 10,000 official residents, a level 6 territory requires 50,000 official residents, and a level 7 territory requires 100,000 official residents.

The higher the territory level, the more residents are required.

Fortunately, the higher the level, the larger the territory, making it easier to merge with surrounding territories and reduce some of the burden. After all, if the residents of several territories are combined, the number of official residents needed for upgrading will be much less, and it will be easier to obtain them.

But for those with smaller territories, things get complicated.

They don't have many territories to merge, so they need to upgrade all their territories to higher levels to deal with increasingly powerful monsters, and even attacks from their own kind.

However, the number of residents needed is too large, like an astronomical figure that seems to be out of reach indefinitely, leaving only despair.

Even though each time a territory is upgraded, it lasts longer and seems like there's enough time for them to gather enough residents, when it comes time to actually gather them, it's not that simple. There are just too many people, and even with more time to gather them, it's still difficult to gather that many.

This is why Linlang planned the number of official residents in advance, because the number of official residents needed later was simply too large.

After being upgraded to a level six territory, the territory has 50,000 official residents and a number of temporary residents, which is more than the urban population of some small county towns.

With such a large territory, once the walls are breached, monsters can rush in and kill everyone. Placing all our hopes on the walls seems too risky.

Therefore, houses in level 6 territories include castles.

This is the highest-level house in the territory.

Previously, in territories of levels one to five, the types of houses included thatched cottages, wooden houses, stone houses, villas, and courtyard houses.

Now that we've reached level six territory, we can build castles.

All houses actually have a certain defense value and health value. However, these are all passive defenses.

Castles are different. A castle is like a small territory. People living inside can build their own defensive works, such as arrow towers, on the walls surrounding the castle.

These defensive fortifications cannot kill official or temporary residents of the city, but they can kill monsters or enemies that enter the territory if someone or a monster breaches it.

Of course, if the enemy breaches the territory, the castle owner might not shoot them. After all, the local lord might not be able to repair the walls within the stipulated time, and the territory might fall into the enemy's hands. If they shoot the enemy, they will make enemies with the new lord, which is not a good thing.

However, they can shoot the monsters and wait for the lord to repair the territory. Otherwise, if the lord is able to repair the territory but they die because they are unable to protect themselves, it would be a great injustice.

If a level 6 territory is breached, the lord has half an hour to repair it.

In such a tense situation, as long as the lord has enough money, he can issue a task to acquire materials, and it can be repaired within this timeframe.

Even if the lord doesn't have enough money, the price for purchasing materials is the lowest price set by the system. As long as the lord has a chance to successfully repair the wall, most people are willing to hand over their materials so that the lord can purchase enough materials to repair the wall or upgrade to a higher level of territory. After all, most people don't want their territory to be breached and then have to wander.

It's important to understand that while upgrading to a level six territory increases its size, once it's breached, it means a longer period of wandering. After all, just leaving a destroyed territory requires a considerable journey, which is extremely dangerous.

So if it can be repaired, it's naturally better to wait until one's own territory is repaired so that one doesn't have to wander.

Therefore, owning your own castle and holding on to it to see if the territory can be repaired is naturally a good thing.

Although the daily rental fee for the castle is very expensive, some small groups, such as caravans, actually have this demand.

With this kind of place, an entire caravan could live in it, which feels similar to a guild headquarters in a pre-apocalyptic game, so some people are still willing to rent it.

Linlang encouraged those who rented the facilities to build their own defenses, so she charged them the lowest possible price from the system for tools such as castles and arrow towers, without charging them any higher fees.

These people were caravan traders who traveled all over the country and could easily compare the fees charged by other territories. They knew very well that their own territory charged the lowest price.

Many people, after comparing prices, are willing to build defensive fortifications for their small groups.

Although I feel that my own territory is very powerful and shouldn't be able to be breached, just in case, it's better to build one for safety.

Moreover, owning your own castle is somewhat equivalent to becoming a minor lord. After all, castles have various facilities, which is similar to the initial level one territory. And you don't need a lord's token to become a minor lord. So, players who haven't obtained a lord's token and don't have the ambition or ability to attack other people's territories think that owning a castle and becoming a lord-like entity is not bad, so they are naturally willing to build it.

At the same time, he felt that he was lucky to have found the best territory, which has always had the best benefits and the cheapest things that require payment. How could people not want to stay in this territory?

In fact, many caravans used to be from other territories. After they came to Linlang's territory as merchants, they compared the various benefits and fees and found that it was better here, so they settled in Linlang. This is actually equivalent to Linlang taking away other people's elite caravans, which indirectly strengthened the strength of Linlang's territory.
