At this moment, Qin Feng exited the creation channel. To upgrade the wooden house to level 2, he still needed a large amount of wood and stone. The villagers of Longyuan Village also required substantial amounts of wood and stone. So, he had to continue his efforts.
Currently, Qin Feng proceeded to dismantle the old wooden houses.
[You obtained one wood +1.]
[You obtained one wood +1.]
[You obtained one stone +1.]...
In this manner, Qin Feng fervently harvested those materials. In just a moment, he continuously dismantled three old wooden houses, obtaining 7 units of wood and three units of stone. The efficiency was astonishing.
Qin Feng felt a sense of satisfaction. Dismantling these old wooden houses was indeed fast in terms of rewards. Unfortunately, there were only a few hundred of these old wooden houses, and once dismantled, they would be gone. However, this was enough for him to exchange for several hundred contribution points.
Contribution points were quite valuable! The higher the village level, the better the Heavenly Path resources available. For example, a level 0 village opened up primary energy stones. A level 1 village would offer even better Heavenly Path resources, all of which required contribution points to exchange. Therefore, accumulating more contribution points was better.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's motivation to dismantle the old wooden houses grew stronger. What's more, he became more proficient in the process, steadily increasing the speed of material harvesting.
At the same moment, the villagers of Longyuan Village were tirelessly collecting various resources. Some clever individuals, though already at level 5 with comprehensive strength comparable to level 7 savage beasts, chose to hunt monsters in level 3 and 4 areas. Since any monster with fur could provide it, there was no need to wait for higher-level beasts. Killing lower-level beasts with easily obtainable fur significantly increased the efficiency of obtaining fur.
And so, the entire Longyuan Village was bustling with activity, with everyone excitedly contributing to the effort.
At the same moment, in various corners of the Blue Star World, every dozen minutes or so, a new village would be established. Unbeknownst to many, 27 villages had already appeared. This, in essence, brought pressure to all Blue Star inhabitants.
Twenty-seven villages represented the future existence of 27 major forces! Competition between these forces would undoubtedly lead to fierce struggles and conflicts. This invisible competition quietly began, and the people of Longyuan Village keenly felt it.
This spurred the people of Longyuan Village to work even harder.
At the same moment, residents of other villages in Area 1 admired Longyuan Village greatly. Lamp Tower, Asan, Westland, Sakura Island, and those others couldn't help but sound a bit sour. Meanwhile, villages from Dragon Country were proud of Longyuan Village, wishing they could join.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, five hours had passed, and there was less than an hour until dawn. Qin Feng finally finished dismantling those wooden houses, obtaining a total of 823 units of wood and 411 units of stone—a bountiful harvest.
Satisfied, he opened the village resource storage. There, he found plenty of grilled meat, animal fur, iron ore, and several 1st-tier spirit grass. Excited, Qin Feng quickly exchanged those 1st-tier spirit grass.
Subsequently, he also exchanged for 2 units of animal fur and 1 unit of iron ore. With this, he almost had all the resources needed to upgrade the wooden house to level 2, lacking only a piece of Cold Ice Stone.
At this moment, he was surprised to find that the resource storage had no wood and stone. Checking the chat channel, it had been flooded with messages.
"Ah! You guys are too fast! Just a bit of wood appeared, and before I could react, you guys had already exchanged it away."
"Yeah! I'm so troubled! What I lack the most right now is wood and stone. I've already gathered enough animal fur."
"I'm also short on wood and stone!"
"Waaah! I only need 6 units of wood and 3 units of stone to upgrade. Brothers, have mercy and let me upgrade my wooden house first!"
"Girl upstairs, there are 937 people in the whole village, and there are over four hundred female members. If we let you upgrade first, what about the others?"
"That's right! It's all about speed; it's in the hands of fate!"
"Waaah! But your guys' speed is too fast. We girls can't compete! The little wood and stone that finally appeared were snatched away by you guys before we could react."
"Hehe! Our speed is honed on Blue Star."
Some boys revealed mischievous smiles.
"Oh! Wood and stone are really hard to come by!"
"Yeah! At this rate, when will I be able to upgrade my wooden house? I'm so anxious!"
"Brothers and sisters, it's not that wood and stone are hard to come by. The problem is that upgrading the wooden house consumes a significant amount of wood and stone, and demand has surpassed supply."
"Yes! Those brothers logging and quarrying, we hope you can step up and increase efficiency!"
"Oh! I've been felling trees all this time, my hands are almost broken, but I still can't keep up with your demand!"
"Same here! I'm still quarrying! It's so tiring! Your demand is too high!"
"Darn it! This won't work! I'm not killing monsters anymore! I'm going to chop wood. Otherwise, who knows when I'll be able to upgrade my wooden house!"
But as these words fell, a notification from the Heavenly Path arrived.
[Reminder: Village Chief Qin Feng contributed 723 units of wood to Longyuan Village, earning 723 contribution points.]
[Reminder: Village Chief Qin Feng contributed 361 units of stone to Longyuan Village, earning 361 contribution points.]
Boom! As this news spread, the entire channel erupted.
"Wow! Boss! Qin Feng is showing his might!"
"Oh my goodness! So much wood and stone!"
"So amazing! Boss is too amazing! How did he get so many resources?"
"Darn! Why hesitate? Snatch it! Hurry, snatch it!"
"Haha! I exchanged for wood, and I can finally upgrade my wooden house!"
"Haha! I also got some stone!"
"I have enough wood and stone; I can finally upgrade my wooden house!"
"Waaah! So excited! So happy! I can finally upgrade my wooden house too!"
"All thanks to Boss for helping out!"
"Big Brother Qin Feng, little sister loves you!"
At this moment, cheers erupted, and everyone was incredibly excited. At the same time, they deeply admired Qin Feng. They couldn't fathom how he managed to collect so much wood and stone in such a short time.
Meanwhile, in the desolate area of the Lost Village, Qin Feng saw the lively atmosphere in the chat channel and couldn't help but smile contentedly. To upgrade the village to level 1, he needed more than 100 novice wooden houses. So, contributing those resources was necessary to quickly meet the upgrade criteria. Upgrading the village to level 1 was essential because only a level 1 village could build the Guardian Altar—the greatest reliance for resisting the assessment of divine punishment.
"All right! I've given them the wood and stone. As for who can snatch it, it depends on their luck."
Qin Feng smiled and then exited the chat channel. He hoped they would complete the wooden house upgrade as soon as possible.
Qin Feng looked around and saw that the whole village had been cleaned up, yielding a bountiful harvest. Currently, he had accumulated 1107 contribution points. Additionally, he kept 100 units of wood and 50 units of stone for backup, enough for the requirements of upgrading to a level 2 wooden house. Now, all he needed was a piece of Cold Ice Stone.
Those matters could be dealt with after dawn! With this in mind, Qin Feng used the 'Return to Village' skill. In an instant, a burst of white light flashed, and he disappeared from his original location. The next second, he appeared in his novice wooden house.
Upon appearing, he joyfully noticed significant changes in his wooden house. The area had doubled, and the muddy ground had transformed into smooth wooden flooring. The dirty wooden walls were replaced by neat, thick wooden walls. The room was no longer empty but now featured a large wooden bed with a fur mattress, looking quite comfortable.
"This is a level 1 wooden house. Not bad! Not bad! Finally, it looks decent!" Qin Feng revealed a satisfied smile.
[Level 1 Novice Wooden House: Under non-sleeping conditions, stamina and energy recovery speed is doubled; under sleeping conditions, recovery speed triples.]
Two days and two nights had passed! Qin Feng was already feeling a bit weary, despite his formidable strength. He couldn't avoid fatigue entirely. It was time to rest! Moreover, the bed looked very comfortable.
Haha! Qin Feng laid down immediately. Perhaps truly tired, he fell asleep in less than a minute. Time flew by, and when Qin Feng woke up, it was already bright outside. He had only slept for a little over an hour, but with the assistance of the level 1 wooden house, it was equivalent to five hours of sleep. Now, he was completely refreshed, reaching his optimal state.
"Not bad for a level 1 wooden house! I only slept a little over an hour, and I'm back at my peak. It really saved me a lot of time!"
Qin Feng was very satisfied with the wooden house. By the way, so much time had passed. He wondered about the village's progress. With this in mind, he opened the 'Village Chief Operation Interface.'
[Village Name]: Longyuan Village
[Village Level]: Level 0
[Village Chief]: Qin Feng (Novice King)
[Village Population]: 937 people
[Public Buildings]: 0
[Level 1 Novice Wooden House]: 67
[Level 0 Novice Wooden House]: 870
Not bad! Not bad! In just one night, the number of level 1 wooden houses in Longyuan Village reached 67, not far from the goal of 100. Qin Feng was quite pleased.
At that moment, the Heavenly Path issued a prompt.
[World Announcement: In the 4555th district, Village 379 has officially established a village, renamed 'Anglu Village,' exclusively.]
[World Announcement: The number of villages established in the Blue Star Realm has reached one hundred. Subsequent villages built will no longer be publicized.]
Darn it! One hundred already! Qin Feng was a bit surprised. It made sense, given the arrival of billions of people on the Blue Star, many of whom possessed S-rank or higher awakened talents. Anyone with an S-rank or higher awakened talent qualified as a super powerhouse, capable of building a village in a short period.
In addition, there were other superhumans, such as vampires, werewolves, cultivators, ascetics, ninjas, and various religious figures. These individuals were already powerful, and awakening an S-rank or higher talent would make them even stronger.
With this realization, Qin Feng felt a sense of urgency. He could foresee that, after the novice assessment period ended, he would have to contend with various super powerhouses for dominance in the Blue Star Realm.
At that very moment, the Heavenly Path issued another prompt.
[World Announcement: Starting today, the Village Upgrade Competition begins.]
[The first three villages to reach level 3 will reward all villagers with 500 attribute points. The Village Chief will receive 1000 attribute points.]
[The fourth to tenth villages to reach level 3 will reward all villagers with 200 attribute points, and the Village Chief will receive 500 attribute points.]
[Reminder: This village competition is limited to the novice assessment period. Villages reaching level 3 after the novice assessment period will be ineligible for rewards.]
[Reminder: This competition is a benefit to the Blue Star Realm. We hope all forces will cherish it. Good luck to everyone!]
Boom! As this news spread, the entire Blue Star Realm was shocked. Qin Feng also widened his eyes in astonishment.
Darn it! Bam! A thousand attribute points! This is too generous!
