I have a map editor

Some large fish over one meter long could be seen swimming in the water, but according to Emily, these were Arapaima from the Amazon basin, which were relatively gentle in temperament and would not attack people, so everyone no longer had any worries.

On the stone platform on the shore, they spread out various equipment and items, then tested the water temperature and jumped in one after another.

They were a little reserved at first, but soon they started splashing water on each other, having water fights, and having fun happily.

……

The girls were relaxing while Lucas was working on the development in an orderly manner.

Things were going well, at least for the Gremlins design work.

Although the "mystical knowledge" he passively acquired through his mobile phone was fragmented and unsystematic, it just happened to contain some of what he needed to design the "elves".

[Turn Mud into Stone] and [Turn Stone into Mud] are relatively common abilities among magicians and alchemists, and he just happens to know how to use them and what effects they can produce.

Although he himself cannot use these two spells because he has no civilized elements, no awakening, and no casting ability, he can use the "Map Editor" to make these two spells into [Skills] and then add them to any unit that meets the requirements.

[Turn Mud into Stone] and [Turn Stone into Mud] have an advanced ability, which can be simply summarized as "refining" or "purifying", which is to extract a certain component from a large pile of debris such as ore.

This advanced ability has many limitations and cannot be used to purify "compounds". The purification effect will be very poor. It is best used to refine single metals, but it requires a very detailed grasp of the properties of the "single metal" to be refined.

With these two abilities, the two basic abilities of the "elf" are satisfied: construction and collection (metal).

Of course, the specific effects still need further modification and verification. After all, it is only the first day and even the real object has not been summoned yet. It is still in the design stage.

……

In the evening, after dinner, the layout of the house was completed, and the family walked out leisurely. Lucas took them to visit and move in.

Not only does the small space experience climate change, but there are also changes between day and night. After nightfall, the light in the "tiankeng base" will also weaken and drop to night standards.

But after all, it is a "fantasy world", the flowers of the magic water lilies in the pool below will glow, and there are other plants that will glow at night throughout the base.

Although the overall environment is a bit darker, the light emitted by these luminous plants is colorful (meow), and Lucas deliberately made some modifications to make the night here look more "magical", and the effect is more prominent than during the day.

Both units have double rooms, two separate bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a room whose function depends on the preferences of the occupants. They are fully equipped with basic furniture, home decoration and facilities. You don't even need to bring your bags, you can move in directly.

The girls had been playing outside all day and were still wearing their swimsuits while eating.

Anyway, Lucas was the only one, so he was the disadvantaged group. Moreover, when he was getting a massage in the morning, not only had he seen their swimsuits, but he had also touched them before, so there was nothing to be shy about.

Many of their belongings were placed directly down there and not brought back, such as lounge chairs and swimming rings. It seemed that they were planning to use the down there as a daily playground.

Claire and Hope shared a room, Laurel and Joyce shared another. Lucas brought their luggage and gave them some daily necessities, such as shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, and large-sized Band-Aids from the parallel world of the 21st century. They were carefully designed to conform to ergonomics and usage habits, and had a high water absorption capacity.

It's just a matter of moving your fingers and swiping a few times on the phone, it's no problem.

As they were all wanderers in the world and refugees in the "Misty Realm", there was no need to hide anything. Lucas did it in front of them, and the room was equipped with a large rectangular widescreen LCD TV, a personal computer, and mainstream game consoles.

Although there is no TV signal here, there is a local area network, so you can watch movies, TV series, and play games.

……

When I woke up the next morning, I felt a familiar heavy feeling in my chest.

Lucas looked down and saw Emily sleeping soundly on his chest.

The temperature in the room was just right, so even if they kicked off the blanket they wouldn't catch a cold, not to mention that they were both wearing pajamas.

『明

There is a pillow...」

Although he thought so in his heart, Lucas was actually quite happy to be loved by such a perfect girl in every aspect.

He tucked in Emily's snow-white belly, which was exposed because she hadn't slept well, and pulled the blanket over them both.

Holding her body in his arms, Lucas was in a daze.

After a long time, Emily slowly woke up. Even when she woke up, she refused to move away from Lucas' chest. She turned over and over and rubbed against him there. When she woke up completely, she gave him a good morning kiss as usual.

After being intimate for a while, the two got up and went into the bathroom one after another.

"You're going to stay in the house and be busy today?"

"Well, I just got an idea. Things are going well. This may continue for the next week."

The two chatted while brushing their teeth.

"That's boring. Why don't you just pick up all your friends and ignore the others?"

"My only friend now is Merry, so you don't want to take care of Naomi and the others?"

"Oh, that's not right... well, I was just complaining, after all, it's like we're on vacation and you can't be with me."

"Once I'm done with this phase, I'll find a chance to spend time with you. What are your plans for today?"

"Walk around the base in the morning, and continue playing by the water and having a barbecue in the afternoon. It's a pity that you can't come with us. I also want to take them to see the big tigers and flying dragons... Are those things really dragons? They're just too ugly."

"It is indeed a dragon. At least it has dragon blood..."

After taking care of their personal chores, the two returned to their room and changed their clothes. Although they did not fall in love with each other over time, they became increasingly close and did not shy away from each other when changing clothes.

The main reason is that Lucas avoids Emily, who is eager to take a step further with him. In addition to being polite, it is also because Lucas knows that his willpower is not that strong, so it is better not to provoke Emily.

After spending so much time together, he developed some resistance to Emily's beauty, such as not getting too excited when she touched his breasts and other parts of her body, or when he saw her swimsuit and underwear. Only then did he gradually relax his control.

After some activities, the two took a shower, one went to the control room to continue the development, and the other went to the next door to find someone to continue playing.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that Emily’s school, Crown Eagle High School, is gone.

To be exact, it didn't come over, because the distance was a little far, just outside the range covered by the fog.

It is also possible that they are connected to other areas and dragged into the "Misty Realm Space" together, but are just drifting in different places.

So, now all the teenagers in the town have no school to go to, and Emily, included, are quite idle.

……

Crown Eagle Mountain Community.

Meili's work also went smoothly.

After bringing her trusted subordinates and several street security team leaders to the basement, she basically eliminated the unstable factors in the middle and lower class communities.

The news spread throughout Guanying Mountain in just a short while, and even the wealthy upper class families had some estimate of the supplies in the basement.

If we had not just entered the "survival mode" and everyone was not a survivor struggling to survive in the difficult mode, some people might really choose to go all out or plunder resources at all costs.

Then Meri held a community meeting at the church on Elm Street, where she announced the spring farming plan and the reservoir construction plan, which were basically agreed by everyone.

Although no one has any idea about the scale of the reservoir, it is better than watching the water flow into the void fog. Moreover, after the water supply is cut off, the entire community does need a stable water source.

After this, Lucas gave Meili two suggestions. One was that Meili should directly control the materials and use the "work-for-relief" model to organize residents to participate in basic labor such as leveling the land and deepening ditches.

The advantage of doing this is that the direct control over the entire community is stronger and greater difficulties can be overcome. The disadvantage is that once there is any disturbance, Meili, as the direct manager, will be subject to greater criticism and blame - this mainly depends on Meili's [Politics] value, if she has this attribute template.

Lucas's other suggestion was to let Meri delegate the power to specific streets, and let them organize their own block teams similar to "contracting teams", and pay them with food and supplies as remuneration for their work. Meri would not participate in direct management, and everything would be operated by the contractors themselves.

The advantage of doing this is that if something goes wrong, the blame can be put on the "contractor", that is, the person in charge of each street, and a new one can be elected. Meili's position is relatively stable and not easily impacted.

As for the downside, there will definitely be favoritism, fraud, corruption and abuse of power, which is rooted in human nature... No, this is human nature. It is easy for small hills to form between the streets, mainly between the teams in different blocks, which will lead to a decline in the overall cooperation ability of Guanying Mountain. If the difficulties faced are too great, the residents' thinking will easily slip.

Meili was not sure how strong her management ability was, or even whether she had any. At most, she had gathered less than a hundred volunteers and went into the mountains to search for missing people. As for the daily management of more than 20,000 people... She really had no idea, so she chose the latter.

The existing police officers of the county bureau were called back to take charge of controlling supplies and daily law and order in Daguan, and the power of each street was delegated to a person in charge chosen by them.

Although there is no large machinery and due to the lack of oil, all daily vehicles and machinery cannot be used, but fortunately, Guanying High School has disappeared and the workplaces of adult residents have basically not been moved. The proportion of young and middle-aged residents in the town is still quite high. Each household lives in a large house with its own door and yard. A large lawn is a basic requirement, so work tools such as shovels are essential for every household.

If you are idle anyway, you can do some work to warm up your body and save on heating. Besides, the body is honest, and everyone has to obey and submit to this practice as long as they are paid with food and daily necessities.

If a person is killed, he will die; if he does not eat, he will also die.

After dealing with the lower-middle class community, Merry drove a police car and took a deputy to Green Valley Street to start the second round of negotiations.

Just as Lucas said, if he, or any individual, did this, they would be regarded as a warlord-like force that rose in the chaos and would naturally be hated by the local residents.

For example, these several wealthy families on Green Valley Street who have banded together are now seen as bad people, or at least bad guys, in the eyes of the lower- and middle-class community residents.

Not simply because they refused to share their supplies, but because, in form, they divided the community.

Merry is a public official, and the way she manages the community has never used violence from beginning to end. Everything she does is in the interests of everyone and is in line with the legal and social framework under a peaceful state.

Even if she used a little bit of violence in the process, she would gain the understanding of everyone, or at least the majority of people.

Unless there are ambitious people who want to restore the old order or establish warlord separatism in the doomsday world, Merry's approach is in line with the interests and expectations of the wealthy families in Green Valley Street.

After all, who would want to play the game of killing and plundering with you when we can live a good life?

Therefore, the negotiations with the wealthy families went smoothly, and even if Merry slammed the table and cursed (Fuck you or something), there would be no personal danger. He brought a deputy just to take notes of the meeting.

The wealthy families had ready-made land, but irrigation was indeed a vital issue, and it was in the interest of everyone for the upper and lower communities to cooperate in building reservoirs.

So they were very happy to provide people, equipment (large vehicles) and some supplies.

However, when it comes to the development and management of the vast mountainous and forested areas and the future allocation of water resources, the two sides are deadlocked.

Even if you don't have the relevant professional knowledge, you can have a rough estimate of how many people a piece of land can feed and how much resources it can produce.

During this period of time, people in the middle and lower class communities have been investigating the scope of the "Misty Realm Space", and people in the upper class communities are also doing this.

Both sides came to the conclusion that much of this 30-kilometer-square land was unusable mountainous terrain and could not support a population of more than 20,000 people for a long time, especially without external material input.

The firewood needed for daily use by more than 20,000 people cannot be provided by this forest in the long term.

Merry's suggestion, which was also Lucas's idea, was that both parties should view themselves as a whole and work together to develop and manage the land in a refined manner.

But the opinions of the rich families were very American. They were even willing to pay for some cattle, sheep and materials to buy out the land in the mountainous area permanently.

The two sides also have different opinions on the future distribution of water resources.

Meili believes that the lower-middle class communities have a larger population, so they should be allocated more water resources.

But the rich believe that their land is more valuable, and that agriculture and animal husbandry require more water resources, so they should get a larger share of water resources.

After arguing for several days, Merry initiated a shelving agreement, temporarily putting the two issues aside, and used the supplies in his hands to exchange more resources with the big dog owners.

Anyway, let’s repair the reservoir first. We can discuss these issues later.

For example, Lucas stocks canned foods that contain salt and sugar, as well as special hot pots and common cooking seasonings, all of which are lacking in dog owners.

Normally, no one would stock up on things like salt, spices, and seasonings.

On the contrary, their reserves of food, beef, mutton and pork are very sufficient.

The two sides negotiated an exchange ratio. Merry increased his food reserves, and they enriched their daily diet. Each side got what they needed and was happy.

Lucas' development was going well.

For example, he had previously created the [Tree Spirit] as an experiment, and later developed the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] for fun. He inadvertently verified that he could directly produce the [Tree Spirit] through the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] at the cost of consuming [magic energy].

Or to be more precise, it is called "gestation". Except for the slower production speed, the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] does not need to consume [Soul Fragments] to produce [Tree Spirits]. Even if speed is not required, it can produce [Tree Spirits] directly without consuming [Magic Energy].

So this time in the process of developing "Pixie", Lucas easily realized the function of the [Tree of Life] to produce [Pixie], and then conversely, edited the [Tree of Life] into the construction list of [Pixie].

The problem here is that the Tree of Life is a living unit and includes "

The "elf" is something that is not in the "magical natural forces" he inherited. The basic producers and builders of the original "magical natural forces" are a kind of creature similar to a centaur and forest dwarves.

However, the "Druids" in the "Forces of Nature" have long used natural magic to cultivate a 5th-level creature called the "Garden Guardian", which is somewhat similar to the [Tree of Life] in that they are both tree men who can move on their own.

The forest elves, the main race of "natural forces", also have a ritual funeral similar to reincarnation after death. The body is buried in an ancient tree that is more than a hundred years old. There is a chance that the deceased will condense into a kind of "soul essence" after many years, which is equivalent to drinking Meng Po soup, with the memory and personality washed away... The embryo can also be seen as a kind of alchemical energy similar to the Philosopher's Stone in "Fullmetal Alchemist".

It mainly depends on whether there are female elves willing to give birth to the child. The newly bred individual, apart from going through the procedures, has no biological connection with the female elf who gave birth to him. It is equivalent to asexual reproduction. The two can even combine to produce offspring without genetic defects...

In addition, it depends on whether this "soul essence" is obtained by evil wizards and used as spellcasting materials or for more evil purposes.

However, in the "magic knowledge" obtained by Lucas, this method was later improved, and it was possible to use alchemy or other magical means to breed new elves without the need for female elves. Anyway, depending on who is using it, many new ways of playing have been derived.

For example, there was a tribe of elves that suffered a devastating disaster. They preserved the "souls" of a large number of their members in this way, retreated to the depths of the forest to recuperate, and recovered many years later to become a powerful tribe of elves again.

There was an evil wizard of the undead system who also used this method to breed countless "soul essences" with soul fragments that carried his own personality and memories, and implanted them into women or female individuals of many races through surgery. Many years later, he obtained countless clones of various shapes based on himself.

It's just that he didn't have the hive-conscious online and offline management technology of the Scourge. These clones grew into individuals that were not under his control. During his rise, they could still barely maintain cooperation, but when he and his clones became a scourge to a certain magical continent and there was no external pressure to survive, internal strife broke out among them first.

This is a bit off topic, but we only need to know that Lucas spent a week to basically master the two magical units, the Elves and the Tree of Life.

As for the ancient war tree and the like, haha...

Including the [Tree Spirit] with the ability of [Magic Immunity (Primary)], whether it is his personally favorite night elf unit or the original magical force unit, most creatures below level 5 will be slaughtered in the face of modern thermal weapons.
