Chapter 5 - Village Upgrade and New Villagers

Alex woke up feeling refreshed and energized. He had been looking forward to logging back into the game and continuing his progress in building his village. He stretched his arms and legs, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on his face.

With a smile on his face, he reached for his virtual reality capsule and put it on. As the device sprang to life, he felt a rush of excitement as he prepared to enter the virtual world once again.

He entered his login credentials and clicked on the "enter game" button, watching as the virtual landscape came into view before him. Alex appeared inside the village head house, moments after a System notification appeared. It read:

[System Notification] Congratulations! Your village has been upgraded to level 2. New buildings are now available to construct. The rate at which villagers spawn in the Village has increased to 2 per day.

[Buildings List:]

[Housing (Max Level: 2, Max Quantity: 2/4)

Farms (Max Level: 1, Max Quantity: 1/2)

Lumber Mill (Max Level: 1, Max Quantity: 1/2)]

As Alex was examining his village, two new villagers spawned before him. They introduced themselves, a man named Jack and a woman named Emily. Alex greeted them and was pleased to have more help in his village.

"Welcome to my village, Jack and Emily," Alex said with a smile.

"I'm Alex, the lord of Emerald Haven. I'm glad to have you both here to help us build and grow."

"Thank you for having us," Jack replied. "We're excited to be part of your village."

"Likewise," Emily added. "We'll do our best to help out."

Alex led them to meet their first villager, who was already hard at work gathering resources. He explained to Jack and Emily the buildings that were already available in the village and their next steps to take.

"Here's the first villager, Brian," Alex said, introducing them. "He's been with me since the beginning and has been a great help. Jack will live with him for now, and Emily will live in the other house."

Jack and Emily nodded, and Alex continued. "Our next goal is to build more structures to fulfill the requirements for village level 2. We'll need to gather resources to build two more houses, one farm, and one Lumber mill.

"In total, we need 130 wood and 12 stone, but we already have 50 wood from the lumber mill, so we just need 80 more. Here are some starter tools," said Alex, looking at the village status window and giving the new villagers gathering tools.

"We're ready to help in any way we can," Jack said, eager to get started.

"Great," Alex replied. "Let's get to work then."

As Alex saw the Villagers setting off he started thinking about his future adventures and how long until the adventure players will begin to appear, sitting in his office on the village head house Alex started browsing the World Chat.

[World Chat:

-Lord#54: Hey guys sell some food here In my area there's only rock and more rocks.

-Lord#68: At least I spawned in a beach island there's a lot of fish to catch and wood to gather, but there isn't any stone let's trade.

-Lord#54: OK.]

And Seeing these interactions Alex passed the time until the arrival of his villagers.

"Village Head!! We're back." Shouted the villagers arriving with all the resources necessary.

"Alright guys since we already have the resources let's go build!!"

The villagers worked diligently, separating the resources and constructing the necessary buildings for the village. With the recent level up, they had new structures to build, and they were eager to get started.

The first task on their list was to build the two more houses. They gathered the necessary resources and began construction, working tirelessly throughout the day. The sound of hammers and saws filled the air as they sawed and nailed together the wooden planks, constructing the walls and roofs of the houses.

Once the houses were complete, they turned their attention to building the farm structure. They gathered the required resources, carefully measuring and cutting the wooden beams and stones, and erected the structure in a nearby field. The farm was now ready to produce food for the village, ensuring that the villagers would never go Hungry.

Next on their list was the lumber mill, which was crucial for gathering the essential wood resources needed for building and upgrading structures. The villagers worked diligently, sawing and shaping the wooden planks, laying the foundation, and building the mill. Once completed, the lumber mill hummed with activity, producing a steady stream of wood resources for the village.

"Alright guys with this we already finished the requirements to upgrade to level 3 Congratulations everyone!!"

[System Notification]

[Upgrade to Village level 3 requirements met starting upgrade counter: 8:00:00]

"Ok everyone in 8 hours the village will finish the upgrade until then get dinner and some sleep, bye see you tomorrow!!" said Alex as he loged out.

As the day drew to a close, the villagers stood back to admire their handiwork, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment at what they had achieved. They had built two houses, a farm, and a lumber mill, all in one day. They knew that there was still much work to be done, but they were confident that they could tackle any challenge that lay ahead.
