【Militia Barracks Building Blueprint (town-level universal)】

Description: Can build a Militia Barracks.

Function: Converts drifters or Awakened who meet qualifications (Strength ≥ 4, Physique ≥ 4) into Lv6 Militiamen by consuming energy crystals and iron ore.

Training Time: 10 days

Note: You currently possess the 【Great Qin Elite Camp (Unique)】, which can train drifters directly into Lv10 Weakened Great Qin Garrison Soldiers. The Militia Barracks has limited value to you.

Lin Feng's smile deepened. The Great Qin Elite Camp, this special troop building, really saved him a lot of trouble.

While others were still worrying about training Lv6 Militiamen, he already had organized Lv10 professional soldiers.

His gaze continued downward; the last function finally made his eyes light up slightly.

【Affiliate Village Construction Authority (town-level privilege)】 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Description: town-level territory can build up to one affiliate village within its sphere of influence (within a hundred miles).

Function: The affiliate village also has the function of returning to the Blue Star.

Can serve as a frontline stronghold to expand territory control.

Can station a small number of troops and management personnel to monitor the surrounding area.

Construction Requirements: Requires consuming a certain amount of energy crystals and building materials, and stationing at least 50 people.

"This is interesting," Lin Feng muttered to himself.

An affiliate village within a hundred miles ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) could serve as a frontline stronghold to monitor the surrounding area and expand the sphere of influence.

Moreover, having the function to return to the Blue Star meant that in the future, the Awakened of Beacon Fire Town wouldn't have to run back to Beacon Fire Town every time to log off; they could safely switch consciousness at the affiliate village as well.

This was of immeasurable strategic value for future expansion and exploring further areas.

He thought about the current situation in the surrounding area. To the east was the Eastern Swamp, which had been explored quite thoroughly;

To the south was Bone Eagle Cliff—after the Bone Eagle King died, the threat was greatly reduced, but there were still many remnants to clear;

To the north... to the north was the Crying Rift Valley.

Lin Feng's gaze became deep. If he wanted to build an affiliate village within a hundred miles, the north might be a good choice.

It could serve as an outpost for exploring the Crying Rift Valley and monitor that area shrouded in gray fog.

"But there's no rush for now."

He withdrew his thoughts, "Let's settle Beacon Fire Town first, then consider the branch base."

He continued reading down.

【Territory Upgrade Conditions Inquiry (town-level → county-level)】

Lin Feng's expression turned serious, and he read carefully.

【Population scale: Resident population (including Awakened, drifters) must be ≥ 2000.】

Currently 575, still short by over 1400. This could only be accumulated slowly over time, or wait for drifter summoning after the next Nightmare Tide.

The better the defense performance, the higher the quantity and quality of summoned drifters.

Today's zero-casualty Level 2 tide should summon a decent batch.

【Defense Trial: Successfully independently defend against a Nightmare Tide with an intensity rating of Level 3.】

Level 3 Nightmare Tide.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. According to Zhao Hu and Wang Wu, the intensity of a Level 3 tide is far beyond Level 2.

The minimum standard is two thousand monsters, at least ten elites above level 15, plus one rare boss of level 20-25.

If it were before, he would definitely have a headache for a while.

But now...

He glanced at the twenty-meter-high white quality city wall outside the window, then at the four blue quality city gates.

He thought about the seven Beacon Guards under his command (soon to be supplemented to several hundred), the newly promoted Tie Dun, level 12 Zhao Hu and Shadow Snake, level 12 Wang Wu, level 11 Arrow Eye and Su Yurou...

"Level 3 tide..." he muttered to himself.

"As long as I raise my own level a bit more, relying on this city wall, it shouldn't be much of a problem."

【Basic Functional Buildings and Talent (must satisfy simultaneously):】

Lin Feng continued reading down, reading each line carefully.

(1) Cultivated and effectively managed farmland ≥ 1000 mu, and possess at least one intermediate or above farmer professional.

The old site of Qingshi County had large fields, abandoned for over a year, needing recultivation.

Li Si is currently a primary farmer, need to find a way to upgrade him or find another intermediate farmer.

(2) Fully functional blacksmith shop, and possess at least one intermediate or above blacksmith professional.

Blacksmith Wang is primary, need intermediate.

(3) Fully functional tailor shop, and possess at least one intermediate or above tailor professional.

Tailor Li is primary, need intermediate.

(4) Fully functional medical hall, and possess at least one intermediate or above medical professional.

Uncle Wu is a senior physician, but the system rating seems to still be primary. Pharmacist Chen is also primary. Need intermediate.

(5) Fully functional tavern, and possess at least one intermediate or above brewer professional.

Master Zhou is primary, need intermediate.

(6) Fully functional carpentry shed, and possess at least one intermediate or above carpenter professional.

Carpenter Zhang is primary, need intermediate.

(7) One administrative official, and possess at least one low-level or above logistics professional.

This... Lin Feng thought about it, Zhang Ping should be able to do it. He was originally an accountant; managing logistics and internal affairs shouldn't be a problem. Low-level logistics professional, this condition is relatively easy.

(8) Professional soldiers under the lord ≥ 500.

Five hundred professional soldiers. Lin Feng currently has seven Beacon Guards. Too far off.

But the Great Qin Elite Camp can train in batches—as long as there are enough energy crystals, copper, tin, and qualified soldiers, ten days is enough.

(9) Arrow towers ≥ 8, city wall height ≥ 9 meters, city gate of green or above quality.

This condition, he met directly. Twelve arrow towers, twenty-meter city wall, blue city gate, far exceeding the standard.

Lin Feng finished reading from beginning to end, his brows slightly furrowed.

Nine conditions, what really gave him a headache was not the population, not the soldiers, not the Level 3 Nightmare Tide, not even those five hundred professional soldiers—although difficult, as long as there is time and resources, they can be gathered slowly.

What was really difficult were those six intermediate professionals.

From primary to intermediate, it's not something that can be achieved just by waiting. It requires learning, practice, accumulating experience, and even some kind of "epiphany" or "advancement."

Blacksmith Wang has been forging for over ten years and is still primary. Uncle Wu has been practicing medicine for decades and is still primary.

What does this mean?

It means intermediate is not something you can reach just by grinding years.

"Six intermediates..." Lin Feng rubbed his brow.
