Cheng Shuili returned to the territory with the materials. Together with Guanghui and the others, she briefly planned out the territory's layout and selected the most suitable location to build the Multifunctional Artisan Workshop.
The building blueprint was quite unique; not only were the required materials bizarre, but it also did not require a workstation.
Actually, it was quite user-friendly.
Cheng Shuili displayed the blueprint and selected the build option. A translucent blue phantom slowly rose from the blueprint, hovering in the air like a holographic projection.
Immediately afterward, all the materials Cheng Shuili had prepared were instantly sucked into the ground, and the earth began to shake violently.
A golden light burst from beneath the surface, rapidly constructing solid walls along the contours of the phantom. Bricks and stones stacked themselves automatically, roof beams were erected on their own, and roof tiles fell into place as precisely as birds returning to their nests.
In just ten minutes, a brand-new artisan workshop had risen from the ground.
Cheng Shuili pushed on the door, but it would not budge at all.
She walked around to the window and looked inside. It was filled with bottles and jars, making it look like some sort of laboratory.
It seemed this building, much like the Monument of Abundance, took effect as long as it existed on this land.
For that reason, there was indeed no need for it to be accessible.
"Is that it?" Zhao Hong still found it hard to believe.
Cheng Shuili did not answer, choosing instead to first open the building tab on the territory page.
Previously, upgrading the warehouse required 2,000 units of basic materials, but now it only required 1,000.
Every member of Black Feather had paid a 500-unit material entry fee upon joining, so now... Black Feather could be considered the wealthiest faction in the entire sub-region, if not the entire server!
Cheng Shuili remained calm and collected. After choosing to upgrade the warehouse, she took a brief look at the other buildings.
Medical Station, Communal Canteen, Training Ground, Defensive Works, and Parking Lot.
There were only these six types of upgradable facilities in the faction, and their functions were all very clear.
Healing the sick, eating meals, training...
Training?
Cheng Shuili carefully read the description for this training ground.
【Training Ground】
【Current Level: Level 0 (Not yet built)】
【Description: A training facility designed specifically for combat personnel. After construction, it can unlock basic training courses as it levels up, including fundamental instruction in the eighteen martial arts involving knives, spears, and staves, as well as courses on the use of basic firearms! Once upgraded to a certain level, the simulation function is unlocked, perfectly simulating all weapons. It can provide you with the most realistic combat environment without costing a single bullet! If you don't sweat in the training ground, how can you expect to avoid bleeding after a declaration of war?】
Whoa! This effect was truly extraordinary!
The reason Cheng Shuili hadn't practiced shooting until now was precisely because she lacked ammunition.
If she had this simulation function, she, Xinxue, and the other faction members who had never touched firearms could all come here to practice!
Cheng Shuili was excited and looked at the effects of the other buildings.
The Medical Station provided all medical facilities, but it only provided the setup; medical personnel and supplies had to be found by the players themselves.
When Cheng Shuili was recruiting, she had specifically brought in several doctors who had worked for years after completing their PhDs. Each one could handle things independently, and once this place was built, she would have them come to work.
As for their salary... that was easy enough; they could discuss it when the time came.
As for medical supplies, leaders of other factions might worry about this, but Cheng Shuili was not concerned.
Back then, Dean Xiong of the town's central hospital had gifted her the key to the hospital's underground warehouse to thank her and Su Rui for their help.
And Dean Xiong had said at the time that it contained medicinal herbs and instruments passed down through the generations of their bear-race, so basic medical supplies would certainly be there too!
In addition, there was a health value bonus; health would slowly recover in the medical station's lounge.
Both of these buildings had extra bonuses, so the canteen must have them too, right?
【Communal Canteen】
【Current Level: Level 0 (Not yet built)】
【Description: The core facility for hot food supply, providing a standard dining area and a standard kitchen! After adding food and water resources to the building, you can set a daily menu. Once a player prepares one standard meal, the smart cookware will process the remaining portions for you. Features an independent food storage room to extend the shelf life of food.】
That was also quite good.
There was no need to say much about defensive facilities; these were only useful when fighting between factions.
And for now...
Surely no faction would be so blind as to dare challenge Black Feather to a duel.
But Cheng Shuili would not play favorites; if these buildings needed to be upgraded, she would upgrade them all together. The materials were sufficient anyway.
Finally, there was this parking lot.
This building felt out of place compared to the others, so Cheng Shuili checked the details directly.
【Parking Lot】
【Current Level: Level 0 (Not yet built)】
【Description: A parking and maintenance area designed specifically for vehicles. After construction, it automatically generates standardized parking spaces and comes equipped with basic repair tools. Upgrading unlocks features like automatic car washing and more vehicle repair tools. Vehicles parked here will gain a slow durability recovery effect! At the same time, because the territory is absolutely safe during peacetime, it is also a very good place to rest! In short, your ride deserves better treatment!】
A place to repair vehicles; that was also an indispensable building.
The six buildings arranged by the system indeed provided a lot of convenience, but they also set a high threshold.
Every faction's territory started construction from scratch. Now, upgrading a warehouse required 1,000 units of basic materials, and one could only imagine the number of materials needed later on.
Cheng Shuili moved her gaze away from the panel and looked up at the clear blue sky above the territory.
Since this was construction, she needed to plan the location of each building carefully.
The most conspicuous building in her territory was the ancient castle standing right before her.
Since that was the case, she would make this castle the center and have the other buildings surround it in a circle.
Once Cheng Shuili chose the locations, she did not hesitate and opened the upgrade pages for several buildings.
With this upgrade, not only would the entry fees collected from members be spent, but Cheng Shuili would also have to contribute over 10,000 more of her own basic materials.
The upgrade page finally popped up.
【Confirm simultaneous construction of: Training Ground lv1, Medical Station lv1, Communal Canteen lv1, Defensive Works lv1, Parking Lot lv1?】
【Estimated time: 12 hours】
"Confirm."
The earth shook again, and five pillars of golden light burst from the ground simultaneously.
Black Feather was now on the right track, but the leaders of other factions were not having such an easy time.
Territory required rent; if they rented a small space, there was no room to build facilities, and if they rented a large space, it was too expensive.
The people they had were just the ones left over after Black Feather's selection, so if they set the entry threshold too high, no one was willing to join. But if they didn't require an entry fee...
The rent for the territory and the materials needed for building the territory's facilities—did the faction leader have to pay for all of these supplies alone?
Furthermore, if they didn't build these facilities, the only faction bonus the members could get was a negligible cohesion aura.
Some leaders, in order to retain their people, had already begun gritting their teeth to upgrade their buildings.
