Chapter 134: The Unbuildable Buildings
Aridowei City, Gu Xi stood at the door of the council hall, one hand on his waist and the other on the wall.
"Sir, what happened to you?"
Seeing Gu Xi walking unsteadily, Luna quickly stepped forward to support him.
"It's nothing, just a sudden pain in my waist."
Gu Xi waved his hand, indicating Luna didn't need to support him. He then used his right hand to lean on the Cold Wind Staff, allowing himself to stand straighter.
"How is the situation in Aridowei City now? Is that Dimmy who was brought in yesterday behaving?"
"She is relatively well-behaved, but..."
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Luna's troubled expression, Gu Xi couldn't help but ask.
"She made many demands. Here are the blueprints she left, asking us to build according to her specifications."
Luna pointed to the table in the council hall with a helpless expression. Only then did Gu Xi notice three items of varying sizes placed on it.
"Did she choose the land in the Hundred-Arm Giant Cemetery District?"
"Yes, she took a liking to that place as soon as she arrived."
"Then let's do as she asks. It's just a matter of land. I'll go to the tavern later to see if the barmaid has gathered the information I need. If we have the information, we'll take the remaining two districts, and then even the biggest issue won't be a problem."
Gu Xi spoke confidently. Even if the remaining two districts of Aridowei City were not large, acquiring four large plots of land wouldn't be an issue.
Dimmy only needed three large plots. If she truly had the skills described by the quartermaster, then let her have them.
"It's not that simple, sir. These buildings have prerequisites."
Luna finally voiced her dilemma.
"Huh?"
Gu Xi walked to the table and picked up one of the blueprints.
[Herbal Cemetery (Large): Use 1500 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood to construct a Herbal Cemetery (Large Building) in the city.
Upon completion, 20 zombies can be trained weekly (automatically converted to Cemetery Zombie Farmers).
Before construction, a Level 1 Herbal Garden (Medium Building) and a Level 1 Alchemy Laboratory (Medium Building) must be built.
Once completed, it will interact with the Herbal Garden and Alchemy Laboratory to create a regional linkage.]
"Where are we supposed to find a Herbal Garden and Alchemy Laboratory?"
Luna shrugged, "I don't know either. But fortunately, there are no special requirements in this aspect. Maybe we can find a place eventually."
As she spoke, Luna indicated for Gu Xi to look at the other two blueprints on the table. It was clear that these two blueprints were the real problem.
Gu Xi picked up the other two blueprints with a puzzled look. Upon reading them, he realized that the situation with the [Herbal Cemetery] might actually be the best case.
[Spirit Grave Laboratory (Large): Use 2500 resources, 15 units of stone, and 15 units of wood to construct a Spirit Grave Laboratory (Large Building) in the city.
Upon completion, 10 ghosts can be trained weekly (automatically converted to Spirit Grave Laboratory Ghost Scholars).
Before construction, a Level 1 Ghost Tower (Medium Building), a Level 2 Alchemy Laboratory (Medium Building, upgraded building), and a Level 1 Ghost Converter (Medium Building) must be built.
Once completed, it will interact with the Ghost Tower, Ghost Converter, and Alchemy Laboratory to create a regional linkage.]
"What is this Ghost Tower and Ghost Converter?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of these things."
Luna shook her head at Gu Xi's question. Honestly, Dimmy's demands were not just for three large buildings; adding everything together, they included four medium buildings.
And the real kicker was the haunted house.
[Bloodyard Haunted House (Large): Use 3500 resources, 20 units of stone, and 15 units of wood to construct a Bloodyard Haunted House (Large Building) in the city.
Upon completion, 5 vampires can be trained weekly (automatically converted to Vampire Servants).
Before construction, a Level 1 Magic Tower (Core Building), a Level 3 Alchemy Laboratory (Medium Building), a Level 1 Blood Garden (Medium Building), a Level 1 Basement (Medium Building), and a Level 1 Blood Pool (Medium Building) must be built.
Once completed, it will interact with the Alchemy Laboratory, Blood Garden, Basement, and Blood Pool to create a regional linkage.]
"A core building? What does she intend to do?"
"I don't know, you'll have to ask her. But at least she didn't set a deadline. As long as we can build them, it doesn't matter when.
She will stay in Aridowei City until these buildings are constructed. However, she won't join any expeditions, but if something happens in the city, she will act. Normally, she doesn't interact with us.
At least the skeleton archer leader seems obedient, ready to form a combat squad at the Bone Evil Temple."
"Alright, I'll go find out about these blueprints later. How are things at the dock area? Are the dock market and dock warehouse completed?"
"They've been constructed and are operating normally."
"Let's go check it out."
Gu Xi decisively said. However, as he left the council hall, he couldn't help but support his waist.
In the end, he released the evil coffin, sat on it, and had Luna lead the way.
In Aridowei City, the wind wasn't as cold, and Gu Xi sat upright on the coffin, holding the Cold Wind Staff in one hand and the Spirit Lamp in the other, looking like a necromancer who had just climbed out of a coffin.
Luna walked beside Gu Xi, guiding him and explaining the current situation in Aridowei City.
"After the dock warehouse and dock market were built, all construction work stopped, even auxiliary buildings. We're accumulating negative energy to build the Dragonbone Laboratory.
But sir, our city's area is still too small.
We can only produce 1000 points of negative energy per day. It will take five or six days to accumulate enough resources."
"No problem. We don't have any other building blueprints. Once we gather the information, we'll attack the nearby areas. Whether we seize spooky beads or new land, we can convert them into sufficient negative energy.
After we secure the area, we'll build the Dragonbone Laboratory first. In this recent battle, the Death Avatar was very effective, greatly enhancing our combat power.
Building the Dragonbone Laboratory to provide a home for the Death Avatar is our top priority.
Other matters can be postponed for now."
Luna immediately understood Gu Xi's meaning, realizing that Dimmy's building requests would be delayed.
She was familiar with this and could do it!
