Chapter 315 - City Construction?

Chapter 315: City Construction?

Speaking of which, not just the third batch of players, but even Ji Ye had also developed some interest in the path of training with music.
After all, he had absorbed a set of Bronze Bells, and he had sort of mastered the power of music.
However, Ji Ye wasn’t planning to become a musician himself. He was of a mind to establish a musical agency in the settlement. After all, music could be very useful in battles.
In the Twin Dragon Mount fort, although Chu Yin and Nie Xiaoqian were both good at some musical instruments, they were not really professionals.
Also, they were too busy training themselves to teach other people.
However, with the Cao-surnamed pipa woman, Pei Xingnu, and other natives from the Musical House, and the Extraordinary musical instruments from there, it was definitely possible to let some of the talented people study music!
With Zhou Yu, a super popular Perfect hero, supervising the agency, it would be as attractive as the life agencies such as the Forging Division or the kitchen.
“However, Zhou Yu’s most important job is not a music teacher!”
Ji Ye looked at Zhou Yu on the guqin ship. He was as attractive as before even though he was wearing plain clothes.
Of the three kinds of armed forces on the Twin Dragon Island, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen were in charge of the infantry.
The cavalry was never really set up due to the lack of mounts, but it had multiple Perfect heroes including Lu Junyi, Zhao Yun, and Li Yuanba, and it was definitely the strongest of the armed forces!
The navy, on the other hand, was weaker than those two armed forces, even though it was commanded by Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaoqi who were both Superior in terms of combat ability.
However, Zhou Yu could make up for the shortcoming of the navy.
In the Three Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Wu undoubtedly had the most powerful navy.
As the commander of the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was naturally very familiar with sea battles. He was definitely qualified as the commander of the navy!
Furthermore, he could invoke the energy of the Phoenix Guqin Ship, which had been renamed after modification. So, it was suitable for him to go to the navy.
However, Zhou Yu’s arrangement could be discussed in the future.
At this moment, the leaders of the Twin Dragon Island were discussing something else in the sky of the Musical House Island under the support of Dragon Aura.
“Do you think it’s possible to build a city on the Musical House Island?”
Su Nongying stood next to Ji Ye, and the 3D Projector in her hand displayed the full picture of the Musical House Island where water had ebbed.
Elder Meng, Wu Qiao, and some others, including Lin Dong, who was responsible for construction on the Twin Dragon Island and who was adept at architecture and city planning were standing next to them.
Yes, to build a city!
After eliminating the Magma Monsters, the Twin Dragon Island also received two thousand Souls of Civilization of different levels apart from spoils of war and resources.
Taking the Souls of Civilization from the Tyrant Lizards and the Snake Monkeys into account, the population of the settlement would reach five thousand after they were used!
Such a population was beyond the capacity of a fort.
Neither the Twin Dragon Island nor the Snake Monkey Island they occupied a while back was suitable for human beings to live on.
The Musical House Island, on the other hand, was a human settlement in the first place. Although the Magma Monsters had modified most parts of the island, it wasn’t a bad thing, because the Magma Monsters had flattened the whole island at the cost of their power of providence.
It was almost a perfect place to build a city!
“Well, do you want to relocate the settlement core to this place after the city is built, Master?” Elder Meng asked while turning the porcelain cup.
“It depends. That’s definitely a possibility!”
Ji Ye nodded.
The core of a settlement wasn’t immobile, but it would temporarily lose the ability to protect itself during the relocation. Also, the power of providence would be consumed depending on the distance!
If a city was truly set up in this place, it would be very likely that the settlement core was moved into the city for various reasons.
Of course, there was another reason why Ji Ye wanted to relocate the base.
At this moment, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had occupied four islands. The Twin Dragon Island, which was in the rear, was more than ten kilometers away from the Musical House Island and the Lava Island.
Also, a settlement’s field of view that ignored the fog of war was centered at the settlement core.
It meant that the field of view on the island in the front had been reduced by more than ten kilometers, which deprived the Twin Dragon Island of its advantage as an Extraordinary Rank-9 settlement.
Moving the settlement core could sort out the problem in a way!
“Well, it’s geologically possible to build a city here, but there are two underlying problems.
“Firstly, the active volcano on the Lava Island might erupt; secondly, the Musical House Island is in the front line and may encounter battles.
“Such battles might affect our city construction!”
Lin Dong observed the whole Musical House Island with the Monocular.
He noted some details down on the map and then proposed two concerns on the city construction.
“Those are indeed problems.”
Ji Ye frowned slightly.
However, there were ways to take care of it.
It was to transform the active volcano on the Lava Island into an inactive one with the power of providence.
Furthermore, the Musical House Island could even be moved to the center of the four islands, so that the other three islands could shield it in the upcoming battles.
Of course, it would significantly cost them the power of providence, and the transformation would take a lot of time.
The gains might not outweigh the losses!
Wu Qiao opened her mouth and said, “If only we could establish a ‘branch settlement’!
“We could build a branch settlement here. It will resolve our view problem, and it won’t be too important in the upcoming battles!”
Ji Ye’s expression changed. “Branch settlement. That’s indeed a solution!”
After defeating the Soul race, the Twin Dragon Mount fort received a settlement core that had the description that it could be used to build a new settlement.
Building a branch settlement undoubtedly had many benefits.
Wu Qiao had already listed two. There was also another benefit.
It had to do with the five Books of Civilization that could expand the setting of a settlement from the Battlefield of Providence.
To prevent the central setting from getting too complicated, Ji Ye had only added the “History: Han Dynasty” setting with the medium Book of Civilization that the Yuan emperor dropped.
The other four small Books of Civilization had been so far kept in the treasury under the Temple of Providence.
If a branch settlement was established, it would be possible to make use of those Books of Civilization!
However, a settlement based on a settlement would technically be a “new settlement” instead of a “branch settlement” that he wanted.
“Maybe we should wait until the Twin Dragon Island’s settlement core becomes Transcendent!”
Ji Ye shook his head.
However, as to how a settlement could become Transcendent, there had been no information on the forum or within the Confederation Office.
That was not really surprising. The Twin Dragon Island was the best settlement from Earth, but it was still stuck in this step.
Most of the other settlements probably hadn’t even reached Extraordinary Rank-8 or Rank-9 yet. So, the Twin Dragon Island could only figure out its own way to become Transcendent!
However, while it was impossible for the settlement core to become Transcendent, Ji Ye had ways for an individual to reach that level.
Both the Yin and Yang Sutra and the Dragon-Subduing Strike could enter that level after they were cultivated to “Flawless” and when their limits were broken.
Now that he had the Fire Cores to replenish his strength, it was time for him to seek a level-up!
