Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 727 706: Level 3 Guardian Statue

I had never used the "Construction Technique" outside of the small courtyard before, and most of the ti, it was shrouded in a gray fog. Presenting the renovation process visually now was truly awe-inspiring.

It was as if there were enormous invisible hands casually molding and creating the buildings.

The originally crooked courtyard walls stood up straight like obedient clay, growing taller and more upright.

From inside the house ca sounds of knocking and tapping. The tiles flew up to the roof, the walls closed up and beca solid, and the old doors and windows were renewed, even covered with new window paper. Even the mud in the courtyard disappeared.

In a blink of an eye, within just a dozen seconds, everyone watched wide-eyed as a courtyard was rejuvenated, looking as if it had just been built!

Jiang Yuan continued selecting another courtyard, clicking and consuming a bit of basic building material to renovate the house anew.

"An Immortal! This is what you call an Immortal!"

"No wonder the old saying goes, 'The omnipotent Immortal,' today my eyes were truly opened!"

"Oh heavens, we finally have seen the True God, with a Little Immortal protecting us, there's more hope for the days to co..."

...

Because of that fierce giant eagle, the people did not dare to speak loudly. They gathered, looking down and whispering softly.

"Can those few abandoned houses be demolished?" Jiang Yuan clicked each for renovation, watching as each house beca new and clean. Noticing the chaotic and disorganized overall layout affecting the view, he politely inquired.

Even Yue Yongkang, the Lord County Magistrate, who had seen much in his ti, was a bit stunned under this series of surprising impacts.

He only realized that the Little Immortal was talking to him after a pause. He quickly stood up, saluted respectfully, and replied, "They can be demolished; those are abandoned houses with no residents. I trouble you, Little Immortal. Additionally..."

Gathering courage, Yue Yongkang pointed to a winding path, saying, "I have another request. Could you trouble the Little Immortal to help widen this road? When the citizens first built the road and houses, there was no plan. Over the years, this main road that should have been passable has beco too narrow for even a carriage, severely affecting travel.

Moreover, in the far northwest corner, there is an old well used in the past. Its location is remote and drawing water is inconvenient. The people have dug a new well. For safety's sake, the old well should be filled as the water is too abundant, and attempts to fill it have failed. It's only covered with a stone slab.

If the Little Immortal doesn't mind the trouble..."

"Are you sure you want to destroy it?" Jiang Yuan tried moving the well and found it could be relocated easily. He glanced at the expansive town, noticing that including the old well, there were only three wells in total, and reasoned, "The entire town's building layout is too chaotic; many streets are too narrow for travel. How about I make so simple adjustnts and re-lay the roads? I'll also evenly distribute the three wells, making it much more convenient for the citizens to fetch water daily."

Could wells and houses really be moved at will?

Hoping to use Divine Power to deal with the problematic old well, Yue Yongkang did not expect that the easy renovation of houses was just the beginning; the Little Immortal was also going to redo the layout and pave the roads!

"I will follow your will; arrange however you see best, Little Immortal!" He hurriedly agreed and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Jiang Yuan looked at the overall layout. In fact, East Lake Port was quite vast, built against the mountain, but clearly, there was no planning when constructing the houses, resulting in chaos everywhere.

The great joy for farming players lies in decorating and adjusting building layouts, especially arranging houses reasonably and laying straight roads; the process is indescribably delightful!

"The square where the Divine Statue is placed is also too large; it's bare without even a tree. With such a good location, there should be so houses arranged here. I'll make adjustnts, okay?"

"Of course, you can!" Yue Yongkang felt flattered as the Little Immortal always spoke to him so amiably and respectfully, quickly explaining, "Originally, there were houses there, including the County Governnt Office.

According to legend, after offering to the Fish Demon, it demanded that all buildings be demolished to vacate the best area in town for erecting a statue. Helplessly, about a dozen courtyards, including the County Governnt Office, were demolished."

Jiang Yuanxin thought that even though Zeyang was not very powerful, he was quite ostentatious!

Making such a large area, almost like a modern train station square, was it necessary?

"Sincerity leads to actual efficacy; doing these superficial things is useless." He directly dragged the whole County Governnt Office over.

Then, he arranged so houses and courtyards of similar size nearby in order, filling any shortages with stone slabs. In the corners in front and behind the houses, he planted so fruit trees, making it both tidy and practical.

The entire square was reduced to only a third of its original size. On the workbench, he processed stones into slabs, automatically arranging them neatly to pave a circular square, placing his statue in the center, and planting flowering trees around the square.

Once the central position of the town was established, it was much simpler to expand outward.

The roads were widened, and uneven places were leveled with a shovel. Drainage ditches were arranged on both sides of the road, and they were paved with uniform, neat stone slabs. Flowering plants and trees were planted in places where slabs couldn't fit.

Divided into three major sections with varied heights, the three wells were moved to the center of small squares specifically built for them, making it convenient for all residents to draw water.

The entire town was originally barren, with few trees in sight. Jiang Yuan fully embraced the fine tradition of planting in his holand, arranging plants wherever possible.

Once houses and roads were arranged neatly, a large open space naturally appeared on the eastern side, making it convenient for farming or future housing distribution.

He casually helped with the repair of the ferry terminal, repaved the road leading to it, and finally placed the exclusive divine statue in the central square of the town.

[The exclusive divine statue has taken effect, please click to set it up]

The white jade statue, originally over a foot tall, began to enlarge as soon as it left his hand, and by the ti it stood at its reserved spot, it had beco a towering statue over ten ters high.

Following the system prompts, he clicked to enter the setup interface. The current guardian statue is at Level 1 and can store up to twenty thousand faith points. The minimum consumption per night is 100 faith points, providing basic protection for the believers; the maximum consumption is 300 faith points, allowing for a slightly thicker protective shield.

Consuming a million faith points can upgrade the statue to Level 2, increasing both storage and release capacity.

Consuming two million faith points can upgrade it to Level Three, and so on.

"If I rember correctly, the guardian statue of Riverfront Village was Level Two back then. That Ghost Cultivator was stingy, reluctant to let the statue provide too much protective power. If it reaches Level Three, it can even manifest..." Jiang Yuan calculated in his mind for a mont.

After all, this is the first town under his protection, and a low level feels unsafe.

Since entering the Wilderness World, he completed public service orders, gathered a few believers here and there for so faith points, and after spending five million to set up the statue, there's still a balance of twenty-one million two hundred and seventy thousand points. So let's upgrade to Level Three first!

Clicking to upgrade with rapid clicks, as the balance changed, the divine statue visibly rose a notch, its appearance clear and warm. Unsure if it was just his feeling, but the statue seed even more handso.

The Level Three statue can store two hundred thousand faith points, release a protective shield, consuming a minimum of 1000 points per night, with a maximum consumption of 3000 points. In the preview interface, you can also see the types of demon beasts that can be defended against by each level shield.

"Considering that the Wilderness will rotate in the autumn, I worry the danger index will rise, so I'm giving you a Level Three village statue directly."

After setting it up, Jiang Yuan loudly declared, "I don't need offerings or ritual ceremonies, but if you want the statue to upgrade and provide more protection, it will rely on your pious hearts.

The more faithfully you believe in , the more vibrant the incense, the stronger the protection the statue can provide, and vice versa. If one day the faith is insufficient and the statue can't provide protection, you'll have to find another solution."

The County Magistrate hurriedly led a bow, "We are fortunate to have the Little Immortal's protection, we will surely offer incense morning and night and bow sincerely!"

The people of East Lake Port also bowed down under the absolute power.

Even the most muddle-headed on ordinary days can understand clearly, no offerings or rituals, just two sticks of incense morning and night for so many benefits—how could they not serve such an Immortal properly? Unless they wait till being ignored to find soone else who asks for money and life with every turn!

Isn't that being kicked by a donkey in the head!

"Sir, please keep this Jade safe." Jiang Yuan found the old beggar he t when he first ca to East Lake Port in the crowd and handed him the Jade that can directly transmit ssages, "From now on, you will assu the role of Priest. If there's need, simply pray devoutly."

The old beggar, having lived most of his life, never dared to dream he'd beco a Priest one day!

One must know, no matter the place, the High Priest communicating with gods has more say than even court officials, as the Priest represents the god!

He was both excited and thrilled, receiving the Jade with trembling hands, his voice shaky, "Little Immortal, I will not betray your trust! From now on I, I will certainly, certainly..."

A trendous opportunity fell from the sky and hit the old beggar, leaving him a bit dazed, stamring without completing his words, ending up bowing his head repeatedly.

Jiang Yuan, afraid the old man might give himself a concussion, quickly stopped him, "No need for further words, I naturally know those sincere in heart."

How could he not know? The system records it all, including who contributes the most faith value in all of East Lake Port and there's even a leaderboard.

"Rest assured, Little Immortal, I will ensure the old gentleman is well settled, from now on he will live in the County Governnt Office, all his living needs will be taken care of by dedicated personnel." Yue Yongkang reacted swiftly, making a promise.

He thought, since the Little Immortal selected an impoverished beggar, there will surely be opportunists spinning words to coax the old gentleman, aiming for the High Priest inheritance.

Better for the County Governnt Office to take over than leave any hidden dangers.

Just beginning to serve the Little Immortal, cannot let anyone take advantage to cause trouble.

"Oh wow, a beggar turned into a High Priest, a person of status now!"

"Pah! That is the Priest, and you still dare to call him a beggar? Be careful lest Lord County Magistrate orders your tongue ripped out!"

"Just saying, the old man with no house, no land, and no strength to work, even a dog passing by would kick him twice, is now a hot commodity!"

The crowd roared, and so young people close to the old beggar showed kindly smiles and began to ingratiate, "Sir, we've known each other for so many years, but I never even knew your esteed family na?"

"This spring at the dock, didn't you recognize the Little Immortal on a covert tour at first glance? Tsk tsk, such a good thing, and you didn't tell us!"

"Sir, your discerning eyes are admirable, in the future we still need you to look after us..."

...
