Chapter 31 Settlement (End of Instance) (1/2)

Chapter 31 Settlement (End of Dungeon)

‘The mission has been completed, and the final settlement is in progress. ’

Ji Lin stood in front of the huge light screen. He knew that he had succeeded, and watched the system flash his own screen with excitement.

If he failed, he would be kicked back to the territory and could not enter the settlement interface at all.

‘This evolution is completed, evaluation: X’

‘Evolution ending: Prosperous tomorrow’

‘End. ’

Ji Lin thought, the system's evaluation, X, unknown number X, is the highest evaluation of this system. He had never encountered such a situation in his previous dungeons, and this evaluation used evolution, but he remembered that none of the evaluations that appeared before him had the word evolution.

Looking down, it was finally his turn to the familiar arms settlement interface.

‘Arms settlement:’

‘Musketeer basics (branch unlocked)’

‘Steam machine basics (branch unlocked)’

‘Steam spider basics (branch unlocked)’

All three arms have branches unlocked, which means that no matter which arm he chooses, he can directly obtain the transformation branches that have appeared in this world without having to invest energy in research and development. Branches are special rewards based on the settlement of arms. Steam mechanized soldiers can carry arc arms and 120 mortars.

For example, it is well known that the 59 has a huge number of improved models. The traditional 5-rifled gun, and the modern improved 59 can be unmanned and carry four heavy anti-tank missiles.

Ji Lin directly chose the basic musketeers. The two arms behind it look good, but he has to wait until he has a rune craftsman to play. Unfortunately, he has no rune craftsman in his territory now, and these two arms will cost a lot of money.

The name is not Vika musketeers, but directly changed to the basic musketeers. He has no regrets. It’s okay to have it, and he doesn’t expect too much.

‘Basic musketeers (branch unlocked), coverage completed. ’

‘Building settlement: ’

‘Crystal Research Station (Steam Age): +5% research speed, additional +10% research speed when researching engineering projects. ’

‘Crystal Mine: Can be built in any area to produce crystal ore inefficiently. Building on metal ore veins will greatly increase the generation speed. ’

‘Engineering College (district building): +15% Scientists, +15% Mechanics, +15% Magic Craftsmen, +10% Attraction, unique in the territory. ’

‘Note: No matter what building you choose, you can get the above buildings from the system store later. ’

Ah? What's going on? What does it mean?

He had never encountered this prompt before? All three buildings were world-specific buildings. According to common sense, he should have been given ordinary buildings of the same era.

And the +15% Magic Craftsmen's generation rate was gray. When Ji Lin moved his eyes to it, the corresponding prompt popped up, "Any type of spell and rune pre-awakening (not activated) is required."

Yes, his race has not awakened yet, how can he become a rune craftsman without potential.

Then Ji Lin saw the next prompt given to him by the system.

‘Crystal ore 1277 category (hereinafter referred to as crystal ore) has been added to your rare resource list, please check it out. ’

‘Heart of the City - Energy Center, Wonder Project has been added to your project list, please check it out. ’

‘Technology-led Settlement: Second Generation Steam Core, R&D Project has been added to your project list, please check it out. ’

‘Equipment: Chronograph Pocket Watch (Gold) has been added to your backpack, please check it out. ’

Are you going to be ecstatic? Ji Lin was stunned.

The harvest of this nine-day trip was far more than he expected, and it was a bit of a glitch for him.

There was no choice, it was almost stuffed into his hands.

A rare resource, a wonder project, the technology-led settlement did not give him a choice of three, but a research project. Second Generation Steam Core, Senota also mentioned the steam core to him. He was curious about these things that could drive super-heavy mechas, but he had never seen them in the entire dungeon.

He calmed down his mood that could not be calmed down at all.

Ji Lin trembled and clicked on the description of Crystal Ore (Steam and Steel).

‘A mineral that can grow naturally, requiring sufficient sunlight, water, and metal. It is stable in normal conditions and can be used as an industrial raw material and energy. ’

Simple, unpretentious.

He clicked it once, opened it, closed it, and then opened it again.

Suddenly he wanted to take a screenshot and post it in the forum, a screenshot of a card draw with four six-stars in a row, and he couldn't help but want to post it in the group to show off.

Then he resisted the urge to grab it, even though no one else could steal it. This mineral played a small role in the classical era, and it would be perfect in the steam era.

Ji Lin opened his backpack column, and the legendary stopwatch lay safely in the backpack. He had only obtained legendary equipment once in his previous life, and it was obtained together with his title of fire extinguisher.

[Name]: Chronograph pocket watch

[Level]: Legend

[Ability]: +20% unit coordination ability, +10% firing speed of the artillery, -20% firing preparation time.

[Introduction]: This pocket watch has accompanied him throughout his life, and now it is back in the hands of its owner. Accurate timing will always protect its owner.

So strong.

A special equipment for artillery commanders. When the era is upgraded to armored units, large-caliber artillery of armored units can also enjoy the firepower bonus provided by this. If he takes it now, he can only provide +20% coordination ability to his troops. Does the spearmen provide coordination ability?

Let them stab people faster?

It’s useless to give it to musketeers!

There is no bonus for coordination ability with only 100 spears. This bonus is also at the level of regiments. The number of people has a significant effect.

Take out the chronograph pocket watch, and the three pointers under the brass shell rotate slowly on the brass chassis. The chassis that is not fully enclosed reveals the fine gears of different sizes below.

This chronograph pocket watch is the stopwatch he often plays in the dungeon. He later gave this stopwatch to Senotta as a parting gift. Now it has come back to him after a circle.

Then the overall evaluation of the mission of the prosperous tomorrow, Jeanna should have lived well.

————

‘This performance has reached the limit in the possible preview and can be executed. ’

‘Welcome, Jeanne, I should call you Jeanne, which name do you prefer? ’

‘You are...? ’

Joan of Arc stood up from the ground and looked at the screen that occupied her entire field of vision, with an indescribable surprise in her heart.

She no longer believed that there were gods in the world, and everything that was presented to her now could only be described and described as miracles.

‘I should introduce myself to you. You can call me the system, they all call me that. Of course, you can call me the manager or the catalyst. ’

‘Put away your thoughts, I am not a god. ’

It waited for a while and typed another sentence.

‘Although I am more powerful than the gods you have in mind in terms of ability, this cognition will have a very adverse impact on our future dialogue. I suggest that you stop thinking this way. ’

‘I came here to ask for your consent. Are you willing to join "Civilization Lasts Forever"? ’

“I have a question...”

‘Yes’

As soon as she said it, the light screen in front of her gave an answer.

"Can you please stop reading my mind!"

'Sorry, I will take care of your emotions and personal experience, the resonance function has been turned off. '

The light curtain replied apologetically, it was surprisingly polite.

"I agree."

'Don't you need to ask other questions? '

The light curtain asked in surprise.

"No, this is enough."

'Another guy from the same world as you has asked me more than 1,000 questions. '

'Then, as you wish. '

——————

'The reward is settled, and the transmission is started. '

After receiving all his rewards, Ji Lin always felt that there was something he had forgotten.

"No, system, I have something to ask you."

Ji Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the light curtain that began to shrink.

"Others can bring people out with a score of 80, but I only give the highest score to architectural technology and not to others?"

The light curtain was rarely silent, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

‘Due to some force majeure, the two characters you should have chosen have the idea of ​​developing independently. This is the opportunity provided by the system based on judgment. According to calculations, lack of it will not slow down your development... and will bring you more in the subsequent era...’

“Then, it’s okay not to give these two people to others?”

Ji Lin has already guessed who the two people the system is talking about.

At least one more character can be used?

Although everyone is making fun of the common-looking heroes, due to the lack of ways to obtain hero units, there is never too many generals in the future. After the chief officer is appointed, there are adjutants, and after the adjutants are appointed, there are overseas provinces and colonies. The natural development of talents in the territory is too slow.

‘Based on your evaluation, I can’t provide you with characters below this level.’

“Forget it, but since they are willing to develop independently, let them be independent.”

He has never heard of characters in the copy being able to run out and develop independently, and those who got the highest evaluation in the previous life almost never posted on the forum to show off their achievements, or there are not many people who have received this highest evaluation.

All interpretation rights belong to the system.

The gains from this trip far exceeded the maximum gains he had imagined for himself. Suddenly, there were a lot of buildings, technologies, and projects.

Projects are something that will only appear after the government center is built in the next era. Now, because he received the reward in advance, the system directly opened it to him. Each project requires corresponding facilities and a lot of time and energy to complete, and it may not give a good reward after completion.

Projects cannot be sold. Only after research and development can they produce income, and the income is very unstable.

In the previous life, there was a project where the lord turned on the control of the celestial phenomena. The unlucky guy directly created a strong thunderstorm for his territory, and it was washed away overnight until liberation. There were also undead races that opened the door to the elves' lush green fields, but were trampled on the spot by the high elf guards. Those arrogant guys may not listen to explanations.

So why do you still have illusions about elves after choosing the undead race?

‘Compensation has been issued, and the upgrade order has been delivered to the backpack’

‘Upgrade order-musketeer (branch optional), quantity: 100 people’

‘All rewards have been issued, and the return transmission has started. ’

[Name]: Upgrade Order

[Ability]: Upgrade a unit of the same number of troops to musketeers (branch) regardless of the era gap.

Ji Lin's mouth twitched. If he didn't ask this question, the system might not give him this compensation. This system has the meaning that if you don't ask him, he will never tell you.

This upgrade order is quite real. It can upgrade the 100 spearmen in his hands into musketeers in time. He will have to see what the attributes of these musketeers are. These are musketeers from the colonial era to the steam era. They can kill people indiscriminately in the next era, the imperial era.

At the same time, Ji Lin opened the panels of his two subordinates.

[Centurion Captain; Changheng]

[General (Level 3)]

[Features]: Centurion Captain (stronger attributes), Unbreakable (Physical strength recovery +20%, Injury recovery +50%), Hunter, Foresight and Knowledge, Technical Officer (Engineering)

[Village Chief: Chongshan]

[Affair Officer (Level 3)]

[Features]: Proficient in agriculture (Agriculture-related zoning cost -10%, maintenance cost -5%, output +5%), Foresight and Knowledge, Technocrat (Engineering)

Technocrat (Engineering) (Epic): This officer's in-depth research on engineering technology has improved his combat capabilities. He will strive to keep his mechanical units in the best condition and put his knowledge into the war. (Maintenance cost -5%, failure rate -20%, engineering equipment related manufacturing cost -20%.)

Technocrat (Engineering) (Epic): This bureaucrat has a considerable understanding of engineering. It is difficult for anyone to hide from his eyes. He will try his best to apply his knowledge to management and construction. (All construction costs -5%, municipal and residential related block costs additional -15%).

Visionary Knowledge: Steam Age, the bonus disappears after the territory reaches this age, and the work efficiency of the territory is increased by 10%.

Good!

Two level 3 heroes.

His two subordinates lived up to his expectations and finally came up with new features under his arrangement, and they were two very rare epic features. Although rarity and strength are not necessarily always positively correlated, the two technical hero entries he brushed out can rank at the top of all entries.

Or in other words, the features starting with technology are ranked at the top. This type of feature is simple and rough, and is a plain attribute. It is much better than some vague entries that are eager to be riddlers. To use a very popular saying in the previous world, it is:

There is a kind of beauty of strength.jpg

In the copy of Steam and Steel where engineers and rune craftsmen are popular, technical entries are indeed easy to appear.

After checking the heroes, Ji Lin turned to his newly added arms, the musketeers.

It turned into a card floating in front of Ji Lin, emitting a faint pale white light.

A branch extends from the musketeers

But before him, there was only one type of soldier, the Vika musketeers. Now this musketeer seems to have evolved from the Vika musketeers.

[Name]: Musketeers (specialized branch)

[Melee defense]: 40

[Movement speed]: 5km/h

[Armor strength]: 15

[Organization/morale]: 65

[Ammunition capacity]: 20

[Weapon range]: 200

[Weapon power]: 45

[Features]: Armor-piercing incendiary bombs, small-caliber support artillery (undeveloped), slow shooting, military formation

[Introduction]: Soldiers who use gunpowder weapons to fire at targets at long distances. The weapons in their hands can shatter armor. After development, the musketeers have been reorganized and have stronger combat effectiveness and a more comprehensive lineup.

The introduction of the type of soldiers has changed significantly. There is an additional small-caliber support artillery on the equipment, but it is shown as undeveloped. He has to wait until he builds a research station or academy before he can study this technology.

What does 45 long-range power mean? The long-range power of ordinary musketeers that can be produced in the next era is only 20 points. With a range of 145, the power of this crystal ore powder version of musketeers is more than twice that of ordinary musketeers. A musketeer of this power can directly take a person away as long as it hits the torso.

Its amazing power is exchanged for low precision.

The entire series of muskets have the problem of low precision at a long distance. It is difficult to hit a person with a single shot within 200 meters. It’s just that everyone’s accuracy in this era is just like that, or in other words, none of the long-range weapons in this era are not low-precision. As long as you don’t match magic, even if you match it, it may not be accurate.

Among a group of low-precision long-range weapons, its low precision is not so obvious.

Everyone has low precision, but I have long arms and great power, so I am strong.

(The hero characteristics seem to be too long to write, and the author has something to say and can’t put it down, so I just put it in the text)
