Chapter 341: Territory Construction

Cheng Shuili returned to the territory with materials, and together with Guanghui and a few others briefly planned the buildings, choosing the most suitable spot to construct a multifunctional artisan workshop.

The building blueprint is rather unusual; the required materials are bizarre, and it doesn't even need a workbench.

Actually, it's quite user‑friendly.

Cheng Shuili displayed the blueprint, and after selecting "craft," a translucent blue hologram slowly rose from the paper, hovering in the air like a holo‑projection.

Immediately, all the materials Cheng Shuili had prepared were sucked into the ground, and the earth began to shake violently.

A golden light burst from below, rapidly forming solid walls along the hologram's outline. Bricks and stones stacked themselves, beams erected themselves, and roof tiles landed with bird‑like precision.

Yet in just ten minutes, a brand‑new artisan workshop sprang up from the ground.

Cheng Shuili pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge at all.

She walked around to the window and peered inside; the interior was filled with bottles and jars, looking like some kind of laboratory.

It seems this building is similar to the Bountiful Monument—once it exists on this land, it becomes active.

For that reason, it truly doesn't need to be opened.

"Is that all?" Zhao Hong sounded a bit incredulous.

Cheng Shuili gave no answer, but first opened the Buildings tab on the territory page to take a look.

Previously, upgrading the warehouse required 2,000 units of basic supplies; now it only needs 1,000.

Members of Black Feather each contributed 500 units of supplies upon joining, so now… Black Feather can be said to be the wealthiest faction in the entire region, even the whole server!

Cheng Shuili remained neither arrogant nor impatient, upgraded the warehouse, and then briefly inspected the other buildings.

The medical station, communal canteen, training ground, defensive works, and parking lot.

Within the faction, only these six facilities can be upgraded, and their functions are clear.

For healing, for eating, for training...

Training?

Cheng Shuili carefully read the description of the training ground.

【Training Ground】

【Current Level: 0 (Not Built)】

【Description: A training facility designed specifically for combat personnel. After construction, basic training courses unlock with upgrades, including foundational lessons in the eighteen weapons—blades, spears, sticks, etc. —and basic firearms usage! Upon reaching certain levels, a simulation function unlocks, perfectly replicating all weapons without spending a single bullet, providing the most realistic combat environment! If you don't sweat here, how will you bleed after declaring war?】

Wow! That's an impressive effect!

Cheng Shuili hasn't practiced with a gun yet—just because there were no bullets?

If this simulation function is available, she, Xinxue, and other faction members who have never handled firearms can practice shooting!

Cheng Shuili, feeling excited, looked again at the effects of the other buildings.

The medical station offers all medical facilities, but only the setup; medical staff and supplies must be sourced by the player.

When Cheng Shuili recruited, she deliberately hired several doctors, all of whom had completed master's and doctoral studies and worked for several years, each capable of handling matters alone; after this place is built, they'll be assigned to work there.

As for salaries… those are easy to discuss later.

Regarding medical supplies, leaders of other factions might fret over this, but Cheng Shuili isn't worried.

The director of the town's central hospital, Director Xiong, gave her the key to the hospital's underground storage as a gift to thank her and Su Rui for their help.

Moreover, Director Xiong said that the vault contains the lost medicinal herbs and instruments passed down through the Xiong clan for generations, so the most basic medical supplies are definitely there!

In addition, it provides a health‑point bonus; in the medical room's lounge, health slowly recovers.

Both buildings have extra bonuses, so the canteen must have some too, right?

【Communal Canteen】

【Current Level: 0 (Not Built)】

【Description: Core facility that supplies hot meals, offering standard dining space and a standard kitchen! After adding food and water resources to the building, a daily menu can be set; once a player crafts a standard dish, the smart kitchen will process the remaining portions. It includes an independent food storage room, extending food freshness.】

That's pretty good.

No need to elaborate on defensive structures; they're only useful when factions fight each other.

And now…

Surely no faction would dare to single‑out Black Feather.

But Cheng Shuili won't play favorites; the buildings will be upgraded together, since the materials are plentiful.

Finally, there's the parking lot.

This building feels out of place among the others, so Cheng Shuili directly checked its details.

【Parking Lot】

【Current Level: 0 (Not Built)】

【Description: A parking and maintenance area designed for vehicles. After construction, standardized parking spaces are automatically generated, equipped with basic repair tools. Upgrades unlock automatic car‑wash, additional vehicle repair tools, and more. Vehicles parked here gradually regain durability! Moreover, since the territory is absolutely safe in peacetime, it's also an excellent resting spot! In short, your ride deserves better treatment!】

A place to service vehicles, also an indispensable building.

The six buildings the system provides indeed offer many conveniences, but the thresholds aren't low either.

All factions start building their territories from scratch; now a warehouse upgrade costs 1,000 basic materials, so the future material demands are easy to imagine.

Cheng Shuili lifted her gaze from the panel and looked up at the deep blue sky over the territory.

Since it's construction, the locations of each building need proper planning.

The most eye‑catching structure in her territory is the towering castle before her.

In that case, let the castle be the center and arrange the other buildings in a circle around it.

Cheng Shuili, having chosen the spots, hesitated no longer and opened the upgrade pages of several buildings.

With that upgrade, not only were the members' entrance fees spent, but Cheng Shuili also added over ten thousand units of basic material herself.

The upgrade page finally popped up.

【Confirm simultaneous construction: Training Ground lv1, Medical Station lv1, Communal Canteen lv1, Defensive Facility lv1, Parking Lot lv1?】

【Estimated time: 12 hours】

"Confirmed."

The earth trembled again, and five golden pillars of light erupted from the ground simultaneously.

Black Feather's side is finally on track, but the leaders of the other factions won't have it that easy.

Territories require rent; if the rent is too low there's no room to build facilities, if it's too high it becomes too expensive.

People are the ones Black Feather selects from the leftovers; if the entry fee is too steep, no one wants to join. But without an entry fee...

Do the rent for the territory and the materials for constructing its buildings all have to be paid by the faction leader alone?

Moreover, if these buildings aren't constructed, the members can only gain a negligible cohesion aura as the faction's bonus.

Some leaders, in order to retain people, have already started gritting their teeth and upgrading the buildings.
