I have a map editor

"What's wrong with riding a bicycle? Don't you see how expensive those electric bikes are? Those people in Green Valley Street still don't have one, and most of his ability has to be used to ensure the supply of materials..."

……

When Merry and Larry started patrolling.

Lucas was sitting in his study with his cheeks clenched, staring at the computer screen.

【Sheriff】

[Employment Condition 1: Basic Extraordinary (Not employed in any advanced profession, the condition has been met)]

[Employment Condition 2: Basic Strength 10, Basic Endurance 15 (Conditions already met)]

[Employment Condition 3: Local Resident Reputation 1 (Respected, Conditions Satisfied)]

[Employment Condition 4: Sin value is less than 10 (Conditions satisfied)]

Because the patrol process was rather boring, Lucas dragged [Merry] into the patrol task bar in the follower interface and clicked "Execute". He did not pay much attention to the surveillance footage collected through the "Magic Eyes" of the [Ancient Guardians] in various places.

Instead, he looked at the extraordinary profession of [Sheriff] that Merry could be promoted to.

[Sheriff (Lv.: 0/48)]

"Can it be upgraded to level 48? That's equivalent to a level 4 creature."

"Well, you can appoint someone at level 0, but the prerequisite is to build a government/lord/monarch town with a prestige of more than 5?"

"Fuck, these weird conditions are getting more and more complicated the more they are modified..."

"Or invest 20 [Magic Energy], 100 [Soul Fragments], 5 [Heroic Souls], and perform the promotion ceremony in the "Tiankeng Base"? In comparison, this is the simplest, and it can also upgrade Merry from blue three-star quality to four-star epic quality."

"Hmm... All skills are aimed at crime and solving cases, and there is no obvious advantage when fighting other extraordinary people... Hmm? The power of skills depends on the "fairness value"? When there is a clear legal basis for doing things according to the law, the maximum skill damage is increased by 350%, and the higher the "guilt value" of the target, the maximum damage caused can be increased by 100%. In other words, if the target's guilt value is high enough, Merry can theoretically cause 7 times the damage?"

"Although she has some minor flaws, she is indeed a trustworthy person."

"It should be enough to maintain public order...but it's hard to define justice and evil in a normal war, right?"

"So, this profession is a territory... no, it's a law-and-order type of extraordinary profession. Moreover, the characteristics of the profession determine that the more it abides by the law, the stronger its combat power will be, and the more outstanding its ability to maintain stability and solve cases will be..."

"Although most skills and talents are limited to the territory, this profession is really useful."

"With this [Sheriff] here, as long as I don't break the law, I don't have to worry about a fire in my backyard, right?"

While Lucas was pondering Merry and the extraordinary profession of "Sheriff", Merry and Larry on the screen had already begun to trigger mission clues.

These days, he has taken advantage of the opportunity to take two secretaries back and forth to the "Sinkhole Base" to add the profession of [Affairs Officer] for them. This is also an extraordinary profession. As long as they are under the task system developed by Lucas, they can organize the clues and intelligence into [tasks].

The COP from the county bureau usually patrols the community frequently. Now with the rattan shed, there are many more residents on the streets, and Merry and Larry often greet and chat with the residents along the way.

While Lucas was looking at the computer in the study, Laurel and Zhuo Yisi were doing the same thing in their respective rooms. Their computers, mobile phones, laptops and iPads were all installed with the same "Task System" APP.

The sacred F... ahem, the sacred Crown Eagle Mountain Magic Network connects them to each other through magic contracts, and through their brain functions, professional knowledge, and mysterious principles that even Lucas cannot explain, the clues and intelligence collected by the "task system" are summarized and organized.

The generated "tasks" have begun to appear on Lucas' screen.

[Weapon Improvement]: Mike Lian from the Security Defense Team complained that the rifles made by the weapons workshop had quality problems...

[My Land]: Pirate captive Meyers said that through hard work, he wanted to become an official resident of Crown Eagle Mountain as soon as possible and obtain a piece of land for building a house...

[Call to Arms]: Pirate captive Jeff from the Carouge Mountains in Stuart Territory wants to return to the floating battleship and fight as a member of the Crown Eagle Mountain Navy...

……

Compared with the last [XXX's Troubles], with Luo Ruier and Zhuo Yisi's brains filtering out useless or boring information, the tasks generated this time were much more normal.

However, Lucas still frowned. These "tasks" were too trivial, and they only solved trivial matters... Although these were indeed the daily work content of the sheriff.

He was very dissatisfied with this [Task System] and secretly marked it with a (×).

For some reason, Lucas suddenly remembered a game stalk he had seen before, where the villagers and sheriff of Skyrim would chase the player relentlessly because the player accidentally killed a chicken...

Meili and Guanying Mountain

Could it be "Skyrim Province"?

0073

While Lucas worked at his own pace, affairs at Crown Eagle Mountain were moving forward apace.

The most important of these are agricultural harvest and naval training and sorties.

There is nothing special to say about the agricultural harvest. Although there are no magical farmlands that can mature in a month, a week or even 24 hours, the water from the moon well makes up for the function of chemical fertilizers to a large extent. In addition, there is sufficient labor, and the temperature and humidity of the vine greenhouses are controllable. Especially after Lucas opened up the residents' personal storage space, there is almost no time limit for the preservation of various agricultural and sideline products.

Almost immediately after the harvest, the basic food problem for the entire community was solved.

Based on the planting experience accumulated in the past few months, the administrative department in front of Meili can adjust the planting and breeding industries at any time according to the needs of community residents. In the future, every household’s dining table will be more abundant. It is estimated that in a few more months, some production and variety will be accumulated. In addition to salt and condiments, there will also be consumer goods such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea, as well as daily necessities such as soap and toilet paper... Well, at least the supply of basic materials such as grain and oil can completely get rid of dependence on Lucas.

Among them, every household makes full use of the space in front of and behind their houses to grow some common vegetables and fruits, which also plays a good role in improving the material supply situation.

In this process, Lucas played an unquestionable leading role. Without the [Steel Thorns], [Tree Trunk Street Lamps], [Elves] and [Tree Spirits] he provided, it would be impossible to build the vine greenhouse space on which the current residents depend for their survival.

The [Experience + n] model he provided also stimulated the work enthusiasm of all residents, so that even if everyone is doing the most boring and repetitive work, the enthusiasm of everyone will be maximized by the simple positive feedback stimulation of [Experience + n].

Otherwise, according to the nature of the countries of America and Europe in the parallel universe, in "Frostpunk" even at the end of the world the eight-hour workday must be strictly observed, and not having food is not as important as organizing a rally, and in "Zombie Nation" and "The Walking Dead", even if zombies are rampant and humanity is on the verge of destruction, the people of America still have the freedom to smoke cannabis and vape.

They would even rather grow unique products than food and vegetables...

If this situation really happened, Lucas would probably just take Claire and her daughter and Merry and her daughter away, and completely abandon the land of Crown Eagle Mountain: I'm tired, let's destroy it, quickly.

Just like now... I have been learning through the radio about what is happening in other fragments of Flower Kingdom land that have been drawn into the foggy space like the Crown Eagle Mountain community.

Lucas had no sympathy or saintly thoughts towards those places. He just did it for political correctness now that there were floating battleships as a means of transportation... But even so, he expressed his position through Merry at the Navy's action meeting that dealing with the Stuart Marquisate and the Pirate King of Vantos was the top priority at the moment.

The other Flower Kingdom land fragments weren't as troublesome as Afghanistan... Well, in this era, the Flower Kingdom hadn't yet invaded the graveyard of the Afghan Empire on behalf of Soviet, but they did fight a war with Vitnam, and the famous Saigon Iron Fist was also staged here.

What’s interesting is that after the 38th parallel north, Witnam also drew a 17th parallel north. However, this time the Flower Kingdom was much smarter, or perhaps it was psychologically traumatized, and it honestly drew a line within its boundaries, not daring to cross the line at all.

But the Flower Kingdom still has some small actions in private. Those who are interested can revisit the opening of "The Rock". It is said that it is a real recording of a cross-border military operation. All invaders were set on fire like a firestorm...

Therefore, taking Witnam as an example, it is still possible to convince the current management of Guanyingshan.

The Campbell family seemed to be very worried that their relatives would become the bad guys who were difficult to deal with in the doomsday environment, so they did not insist on the proposal to conduct search and rescue around Crown Eagle Mountain at the naval operations meeting... To be honest, they even need strong armed escorts to carry out wind and rain disasters, let alone this kind of doomsday event that will lead to the collapse of social order in local areas.

Moreover, the threat from the Stuart Marquisate and the Pirate King of Vantos is indeed hanging over everyone's head. One side may have a population of millions, and the other side has a population of tens of millions. If they do not take advantage of the window period of information asymmetry to establish a strategic situation favorable to themselves, the outcome of Crown Eagle Mountain, which has only over 3 people, is really unpredictable.

Therefore, it was unanimously agreed at the meeting to first focus on dealing with the crisis of the Stuart Marquisate and the Pirate King of Vantos.

After a month of emergency training, the thirteen floating warships basically completed the equipment transformation and initially formed combat effectiveness. The entire navy warships set out collectively and rushed to the Marquis Stuart's territory.

Just in time for Lucas to open the [Basic Town Citizen Attribute Panel] 2.0, all official Crown Eagle Mountain Navy members upgraded their [backpack] space to 4 slots. Each slot of the backpack has a volume of 1 cubic meter. With these 4 slots alone, one can carry nearly 3 to 4 months of personal supplies in guaranteed quality and quantity.

Although Lucas did not want to get involved in the war, out of caution, he still built a "Moon Well" on the lower deck of the flagship, now renamed "Crown Eagle Mountain", and other floating battleships.

在离

After opening the magic building [Moon Well], the magical effect of the glowing well water can last for about 24 hours and then disappear completely. There are special storage props, but the cost is too high and the production cycle is also very long. It is better to directly build a ship-use [Moon Well] (dog head) on the battleship that can move with the battleship.

This, combined with an unreasonable automatic water-discharging building [well], basically solves the fleet's water problem, and even with excess electricity, all officers and soldiers can enjoy a hot water shower once every three days.

The fleet only needs to consider the climate and food when carrying supplies. Unless they arrive in an extremely magic-poor environment similar to Earth, there will be almost no problems with malfunctions and losses for either the "Photovoltaic Panel·Magic Modified Type", or the [Water Well] and [Moon Well].

In addition, even in an extremely magic-poor environment like the Earth, these three devices can still work normally. The former can work normally if there is sunlight, and the latter can also produce a small amount of water in the Earth's environment. The water from the Moon Well can also have a certain recovery effect, but it is greatly discounted.

In order to avoid accidents, Lucas also built a magic teleportation array on his flagship "Crown Eagle Mountain" and made three teleportation tokens. He had special communications personnel travel between the flagship and the basement under his villa every day.

As long as the thirteen warships remain intact, no matter where they go, as long as the magic teleportation array can still work normally, the fleet will not lose contact, and it will take some time to transfer all the personnel back safely.

As for the floating battleship, Lucas has mastered the rune formation technology. As long as he has the materials, he can make new Galen battleships anytime and anywhere... It's still unclear whether he will continue to use the Galen ship model at that time. Anyway, even without a "map editor" and even without the "mystical knowledge" in his mind, he can copy it with his own ability. It's just that the undead magic weapon refined by the fog whale's brain is a little more troublesome.

Lucas is not a fisherman and has no experience in maritime work. He checked the "Tbao Mall" on his mobile phone. There are civilian sonar detection and positioning equipment on it, but he doesn't know whether it can be used in the foggy environment... However, with the vague research and development ability of "Anxunsi", after understanding the working principle of the undead magic weapon of the Fog Whale Brain, those civilian sonar equipment can be turned into magic with the help of "Anxunsi".

……

In addition to those on the surface, another project is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

And no one knew except Lucas.

That is the transformation of the ground veins of Crown Eagle Mountain... or the national magic array project.

As long as there is enough magical energy in the environment and the earth veins, [Iron Thorns] can grow almost unlimitedly.

In nature, this is a bug-level biological disaster that can be called a natural disaster, but under the taming of natural magic, it is also the most advantageous tool and facility in Lucas' hands.

Outside the "Sinkhole Base", Lucas is neither a power holder nor has the power to move mountains and seas. If he wants to carry out the spectacular infrastructure construction like a infrastructure maniac, he can only honestly transform the earth...well, here it is the geological conditions on the surface.

However, in the absence of manpower, large-scale construction machinery and fuel, these are completely impossible tasks. At most, they are just small-scale tasks like building rivers and dams.

More than half a year has passed, and thousands of laborers have been invested in it. In addition to maintaining the stability of the situation in Guanying Mountain, it cannot be said that the work was in vain. The river channel was widened by more than ten meters, the depth was increased by two to three meters, and a dozen small dams were built... In Lucas's opinion, this kind of infrastructure effort can be easily done by the county government.

It is actually quite good that the local workers and pirate captives of Guanying Mountain can achieve this level.

However, the real infrastructure was actually planned by him, with [Elves] and [Tree Spirits] as executors, and [Steel Thorns] giving birth to the construction of the national magic array.

[Steel Thorns] had already wrapped the outer bottom of the floating land of Crown Eagle Mountain during the agricultural harvest, like a cover on the bottom of a bowl, using a method similar to a rattan greenhouse to wrap the entire bottom of the floating land.

Now the [Iron Thorns] are like the iron nematodes parasitic in the body of a mantis... Although this metaphor is a bit disgusting, the entire Crown Eagle Mountain floating land is also dead, it is just a piece of floating land, but it is indeed like the iron nematodes, and a basic mesh structure has been woven inside the floating land.

The main structure of the National Land Magic Array, that is, these thorny plants that go deep into the bottom layer, can act as a carrier for transporting magic power and guiding the flow of earth veins because of their infinite growth characteristics. If the magic power and earth veins flow along magic patterns or rune formations with special functions, corresponding special effects will be produced.

This is just like how a magician constructs formations and barriers.

The originally disordered magic power and earth veins have now become orderly. Now only the basic structure has been completed, so there is no special effect, except that the magic power and earth veins inside the [Steel Thorns] that act as a conduit are more concentrated.

When these basic structures are enriched to a certain extent, the [elves] and [tree spirits] will use their innate natural magic to transform the [iron thorns] into stone, changing them from plants that can grow infinitely into stable rock forms.

Although it has turned into rock, it is different from ordinary soil and rock layers, and the orderly flow of magic power and earth veins will be preserved.

On this basis

In reality, Lucas will carry out subsequent construction work as needed according to the "mysterious knowledge" in his mind.

……

[Tree of Life] emits a circle of bright green light in the night sky.

It is not conspicuous. Even in the pitch-black environment, the naked eye cannot capture this circle of green light more than a hundred meters away.

There is now a protective wall made of [steel thorns] around the top of the mountain, which completely blocks off the view at the top of the mountain.

Some golden light spots that look like birds and butterflies are dancing around the circle of green light.

Although the weather is cold, it gives people a vibrant feeling.

Lucas and Merry stood in front of the Tree of Life, explaining to the latter the employment process of the extraordinary profession of Sheriff, as well as some of the characteristics of the profession itself.

There was a circle of people standing nearby, all of them were the people having fun from Lucas's family and the onlookers from Merry's family - Hope, or rather, they were all watching the ceremony nearby.

"You told me so much, but I still don't understand..."

After Lucas explained the One-Touch settings, Merry scratched his head and said.

Lucas: "..."

"Hey, why are you talking so much? Just tell me how to cooperate with you."

There was a small burst of laughter nearby, led by Hope, Merry's filial daughter.

"That's right, Lucas, why are you talking so much to my mom? She doesn't understand, just do it."

"Hey, I'm still here."

Merry turned his head and bared his teeth, causing another round of laughter.

Lucas let out a breath, raised his hand and signaled, and the other side became quiet.

"Come here, kneel down, and repeat after me."

"OK, I'll do it."

Lucas adjusted his position and stepped back.

Merry stayed where he was, knelt down, and raised three fingers of his other hand - this was usually the gesture for swearing and was often seen in court.

After she knelt down, Lucas took a look at the Tree of Life, which made a strange creaking sound, and a milky white magic light appeared on the wooden floor.

Merry maintained his posture, looking left and right curiously, and the people watching the ceremony were also fully focused.

"Thanks to your selfless dedication in the past, the residents of Crown Eagle Mountain have seen your efforts. Almost everyone subconsciously believes that you are an excellent sheriff and manager. In the magical world, this is an extraordinary power similar to the power of faith... Never mind..."

Lucas looked at Mary's expression and gave up on continuing to explain to her the reasons for the formation of the extraordinary system of [Sheriff]. The people next to him laughed softly again.

The magic circle on the ground is an output port. The "magic network" that Lucas built in the entire community brings together all the residents' subconscious concepts about Sheriff Merry. Golden spots of light begin to appear in the air around the magic circle.
