And Lucas's pampering of her made her envious just by looking at him. Although this mouthful of dog food was a bit greasy, it was actually quite sweet.
Well, thinking back to the present, she still had to plan for her future. No matter how sweet Lucas and Emily were, she was determined to be the third party. Although she couldn't find any professional ability to be useful to Lucas, she could be someone Lucas could use.
She was doing this for her own survival, which was not shameful in the Flower Country, and she could say it with confidence. Believe it or not, if word got out at this time that Lucas wanted to find a partner, all the girls of the right age in Crown Eagle Mountain would line up to come to him.
If Lucas was a member of the Auntie or Granny Bar, even married housewives with children older than Emily would come back to line up, and their husbands might even send them over.
In this regard, the Chinese have a flexible moral bottom line.
……
In Claire's room.
The heartless older woman had fallen asleep with cucumber slices all over her face and carrot slices covering her eyes, which were said to remove wrinkles.
Although she didn't have any wrinkles to remove.
She can use these fresh vegetables that are no longer available outside to apply on her face.
She had none of the sense of crisis that Zoeyce and Laurel had, nor did she have any awareness that she was not a member of the family.
Sleeping so peacefully and calmly.
……
After a good night's rest, Lucas woke up in the morning full of energy.
It has become a habit. After some intimate interaction with Emily, they got up together and went to the bathroom to take care of their personal affairs.
Put on couple outfits and go outdoors for jogging and morning exercises together.
After an evening of hard work by more than thirty [elves], all the snow on the entire hill was cleared, leaving almost no residue.
Unfortunately, the trees on this side of the low mountain are species that flourish and wither with the seasons, and they go dormant and stop growing in winter, so the [elves] cannot collect "wood". After clearing the snow on the low mountain, they gather on the [Tree of Life] and the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] and enter energy-saving mode.
Green spheres were swirling around branches, and the scene looked a bit magical.
There are two other places where new [Moon Wells] are being built.
The reality is that you can't produce a living unit by clicking on a reading bar in the game. Moreover, this is not the game content becoming a real thing. It is something that Lucas modified based on a specious concept. The process and form are very different.
There are more than thirty [Elves], which has exceeded the population limit, so production cannot continue.
The tree species in the entire community are basically the same, and there are no evergreen species. There may be some in the distant mountains and forests, but they are somewhat dangerous for the [Elves], so they are not released out to collect "wood" for the time being.
The regular soil, stone, and wood resources in the "Map Editor" are not so abundant that they cannot be used up, but they are very abundant, so this amount is not a big deal. Lucas first built the "Moon Well" to provide supplies for the "Elves" and "Dryads".
Both are created magical creatures that can completely rely on the water from the Moon Well and do not need any additional food.
If there are suitable tree species, the [Elf] will not even need to consume the water from the [Moon Well] and can obtain its own supplies while collecting "wood".
It will take about 6 days for the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] to produce the first batch of 7 [Tree Spirits].
The production mode of the [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] is different from that in the game. It can produce 7 tree spirits at a time. Without investing extra [magic energy], each [Tree Spirit] takes 7 days to produce, instead of one by one. Lucas can choose different life skills for these tree spirits according to their needs, such as [Alchemy (beginner)], [Grazing], [Aquaculture] and [Planting], etc.
Because we brought a batch of chicks from the "Tiankeng Base", the number is not large,
There are about thirty of them, so among the first batch of [Tree Spirits], one of the life skills customized is [Farming], which is used to take care of these little chicks.
Now these chicks are temporarily kept in the basement of the villa and are taken care of by two idle secretaries.
It's covered in ice and snow in the "Guanyingshan Community", and it will probably take another three months for spring to arrive. There may be some plants with medicinal value in the wild, but now is not the time to pick them, so the remaining [Tree Spirit] Lucas did not choose any other life skills, and all chose [Grazing].
As far as he knew, there were some herds of deer in the wild, because the main hunting targets in the previous hunting season were deer. There were also a small number of mountain lions, and possibly animals such as wild boars and raccoons. After these six [Tree Spirits] with [grazing] abilities were produced, they would be released into the wild to "manage" these wild animals.
If you can herd a herd of deer, you can get a stable income from "venison" and "leather". [Tree Spirits] naturally have the ability to communicate with animals and plants, and can provide a certain amount of shelter for herbivores such as deer. At the same time, they can also manage predators such as cougars, and can also influence the movements of hot-tempered animals such as wild boars to a certain extent.
Controlling their numbers and maintaining the ecological balance of this small forest is of great significance.
After spring comes and everything comes back to life, Lucas will consider customizing some [Tree Spirits] with life skills such as [Gathering (Food)] and [Herbology].
……
Lucas has had a lot of things to do recently. After returning from morning exercise, he had breakfast, packed up and prepared to go out.
However, at Emily's request, the two went back to their room to change their clothes, packed some things in the garage, and drove off together.
When we arrived at the street where the county bureau was located, we saw that instead of the usual situation of only a few cats and kittens, a large number of residents were queuing up to register for the infusion attribute panel at the [Miracle Ancient Tree].
[Basic Town Citizen Attribute Panel] It is meaningless to most people now, and their greater goal is still the two 5-kilogram bags of wheat flour.
When they saw Lucas' car, these people waved and greeted him in a friendly manner, and Lucas had to nod or wave in the car.
Emily was very happy to see Lucas was so popular. She laughed and said:
"You should be the most popular person in town now"
"Just don't treat me as a fool who only knows how to give money and things."
Lucas teased.
"How could that be? This is an upscale community, and the people are very moral."
"hope so"
Lucas didn't argue with her, which made her unhappy, and in the end he was the one who got hurt.
When we arrived at the gate of the county bureau, there were several police officers maintaining order. After all, the [Miracle Ancient Tree] was beyond the imagination of ordinary people and it was sure to attract onlookers, so they were needed to disperse the people who were lingering here.
After talking to the police officers for a few words, Lucas asked where Merry was, got out of the car with Emily, took some boxes from the trunk, each carrying some, and went straight to where Merry was.
Merry was talking to a few people in the small conference room.
Lucas and Emily walked in carrying their things, and everyone looked over.
"You guys go ahead, don't worry about us, we can wait"
Nodding in tacit agreement with Merry, Lucas and Emily sat in the chairs nearby.
"It's Dr. Henry from the town clinic. He's also the dean."
Emily whispered in Lucas' ear and licked it playfully with her tongue.
Lucas shuddered and looked down with a fierce face, but was met with the smug face of the girl who said, "Bite me now if you have the guts."
Then both of them were attracted by the conversation between the doctor in the town clinic and Merry.
"I need fuel and electricity, Officer Winter. Without fuel and electricity, the equipment in the hospital cannot be started and operated. Many patients with chronic diseases and elderly people in poor living conditions will not survive this winter."
Dr. Henry must be British, Lucas could tell from his accent.
But he didn't know whether it was the so-called London accent. Before he traveled through time, he saw British students mention it on Bilibili. In fact, there is no such thing as London accent. Even if there is, London accent is the accent used by street thugs, gangs and dynamic organizations in London, not a formal local accent.
So if there is anyone who claims to speak with a London accent, or if an author writes with a London accent, you can liberate the power of your keys.
Merry sighed and said, "Henry, you should know that I have really tried my best. I have given priority to you in supplying all the fuel, and I have also mobilized the residents to remove the batteries from their cars. As early as three weeks ago, the whole town has been using candles for lighting, and in another two weeks, I am afraid there will be no candles at night..."
Seeing the other party twist his mouth, Merry continued: "...I think you know where there is still fuel at this time, but I can't do anything about that place. It's my limit to convince them to use large-scale construction machinery, but I think you can go there and try your luck."
"Is there really no fuel left?"
"Really, we didn't have enough knowledge about this disaster in the early stages and failed to control fuel consumption well. This is not anyone's fault. The situation is really beyond our imagination."
"I know, I understand, but... well -"
Dr. Henry, wearing a classic wool suit, and his entourage
The clerk stood up and shook hands with Merry.
"I will try my luck at Green Valley Street. I think they must have medical needs there, and it is up to them to ask for help from us."
"Good luck"
"Thank you. Excuse me, Officer Merry. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us."
"You are welcome"
When passing by Lucas and Emily, Dr. Henry and the other two stopped. Dr. Henry suddenly bowed to Lucas, which surprised Lucas greatly, because in Western etiquette, this was considered a relatively formal gift.
This kind of ceremony is usually only seen at someone's funeral.
"What are you doing, Dr. Henry?"
Lucas quickly stood up and held out his hand.
The other person stood up and took the opportunity to hold his hands with both hands.
"I have been so busy with work that I have never had the opportunity to express my gratitude to you in person. The supplies and medicines that our hospital is using now were all donated by Mr. Lucas."
"Oh, you said this..."
Lucas exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, but he was not used to a man holding his hand while talking, especially when he thought of the rumors that there were many gay people in Grenada. He felt a little nauseous and after pulling his hand several times, he finally pulled it away from his hand.
Maybe Dr. Henry was really busy with work. After exchanging a few words with Lucas, he quickly left the small meeting room, probably to go to the upper area to beg for alms from the big dog owners.
After he left, Merry came over to Lucas.
"That guy is a good person. Thanks to his support after the accident, the hospital did not collapse. He is still working now."
"Oh..." After hearing these words, Lucas' impression of Dr. Henry changed greatly.
"By the way, what are you doing here today?"
"I'll install some equipment for you. The thing at the door that can 'help you manage the community' is not just a casual remark. You can claim it as a personal donation to your county bureau. Anyway, you usually accept such donations, right?"
"Equipment? Donating it doesn't matter. Anyway, the whole community is accepting your donation. It doesn't matter to our family. No one will say anything."
"That's only possible if you have a good reason. Stop talking so much and find a place to put the server for me. Then I'll teach you how to use the smart terminal."
It took Lucas half a day to set up a server in a compartment of the county bureau's archives, and imported the residents' information stored in the Miracle Ancient Tree. The intelligence of the Miracle Ancient Tree was originally not very good, very low-level, and if too much information was stored, it would seriously hinder its performance, causing its behavior to be slow, or even become artificially retarded.
However, this server has not undergone any modification. It is an original technological creation that uses electricity, so Lucas has to equip it with a power supply, which is a modified "photovoltaic panel" that relies on free magic elements in the air to generate electricity.
This thing doesn't rely on sunlight to generate electricity now, so the word "photovoltaic" may have to be removed. However, in order to better absorb magical elements, it must be placed in a higher place outdoors.
Lucas also had to make a power storage device for it. There were many cars parked in the parking lot behind the county bureau. He just had to remove some dry batteries and connect them in series or parallel with wires to form a dry battery pack. He also attached an automatic control panel with a touch screen. After setting the relevant parameters, he could basically leave it alone. When the power was close to full, the switch device would automatically disconnect to ensure safe use of electricity.
Excess electricity can also provide lighting or limited heating for the entire county.
The so-called smart terminals are some cheap mobile phones purchased from the "Tbao Mall" on mobile phones. I don't know whether they are produced in Huaqiangbei, but they are cheap enough. They can access files and data stored on the server at any time, and can make video calls with each other within a few kilometers.
Lucas didn't know what to call this simple... system. It was half office and half police. Its biggest function, besides providing management convenience for Meili, was actually to provide free security for Lucas himself.
The special buildings and special units he built later were actually tied to this system. If a naughty kid caught a Pokémon and kicked it like a ball or took it home to play with, or if a "Welshman" in the community caught Sister Deer and planned to take her home to do something, an alarm would be issued on this system along with the exact location of the victim, as long as it was within the small space of "Crown Eagle Mountain".
At that time, the only law enforcement unit in Crown Eagle Mountain that currently complies with the residents' ideas will come to enforce the law and rescue the [elves], [tree spirits], or any magical units that may appear in the future.
Lucas saved himself the trouble and effort of dealing with it, and he didn't have to pay them wages, because this was the job of Merry and the other police officers.
When leaving at noon, Meili also promised to arrange manpower to go door to door in the community to spread the message that if you see green floating spheres that move on their own, or strange creatures that look like deer, don't hurt them or do anything strange to them.
0040
For several days, the residents of "Guanyingshan Community" have been accepting and adapting to new things.
They went to the [Miracle Ancient Tree] in front of the county bureau in batches and regions to "register" their identities. The work efficiency of [Miracle Ancient Tree] was not very fast. After all, it needed to be "infused" by one person at a time, and they had to abide by the 8-hour work system. In total, there were only about 500 people a day.
To
It is estimated that it will take about 50 days to register the entire community's population.
The generation of the [Basic Town Citizen Attribute Panel] requires some of the magic energy collected by the [Miracle Ancient Tree], which is not an easy task, so the [Miracle Ancient Tree] will collect magic energy during its rest time. Moreover, this work is highly repetitive and somewhat boring, but fortunately, the [Miracle Ancient Tree] is not a human, so it has no complaints about this.
During this period, Meili also organized an "air defense drill" for the entire community. The shrill sirens resounded throughout the community. The residents of the town evacuated to shelters, bunkers or their respective homes in an orderly manner, and the security defense team members from each block entered the designated positions.
Not many people complained about this, thinking that Merry was just looking for trouble.
In addition to some tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea products provided by Lucas as rewards for this "air defense exercise", the main thing is that the radio can still receive information from the outside world. Some places like the "Crown Eagle Mountain Community" that have become "small spaces in the foggy realm" have been invaded by the fantastic creatures in the fog.
It might not be right to say "invasion" because as far as Lucas knew, these fantastic creatures might be just like the "Wyverns", just carrying out their daily hunting activities, and they did not attack human settlements in small spaces with the subjective consciousness of invading territory.
In the places where these broadcast messages were issued, the social order was mostly very chaotic. There was no unified management and material distribution like in the "Guanyingshan Community". Apart from general information, no specific details were available.
But this was enough to endorse Merry's "air defense exercise", including the upper-level Green Valley Street, who were very cooperative. Although they still had independent armed forces, they were willing to cooperate with Merry's current "official" command and actions without harming their own interests.
However, the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on the future distribution of water resources and property development of the mountains.
Under this premise, Lucas already has 6 [Tree Spirits] with [Grazing] ability that are in the process of being readied, and even if they are built, they cannot be released into the forest.
He felt that with the nature of the Flower Country people, if they discovered that he could use the [Tree Demon] to control the deer in the mountainous areas and influence the behavior of other creatures, that is, control food resources and even the forest resources of the entire mountainous area, there would be a high probability that conflicts would arise with Green Valley Street. Therefore, they still had to follow the social framework of the peaceful world and sort out the property rights of those mountainous areas before carrying out corresponding development.
As for the use of force to suppress or conquer Green Valley Street, it is not conducive to the governance construction of the entire "Guanyingshan Community" and is a measure that only needs to be used when there is no other solution.
