The next morning, as soon as he got up, Lincoln simply washed up and then sat in his study early, opening [Sweet Home] on his phone.
[Ding! The primary Blacksmith Shop has been built.]
[Ding! The primary Militia Camp has been built.]
[Ding! 18 ordinary civilian houses have been built.]
As soon as he entered the game, the system popped up reminder boxes. Lincoln had expected this and calmly clicked on the information of the Blacksmith Shop first:
[Blacksmith Shop]
[Level]:primary (4 squares)
[Building HP]: 1200/1200
[Enhancement directions]: 1. Iron Swordsmanship: Increase the attack power of troops. 2. Iron Armor: Increase the defense value of troops...
[Militia Camp]
[Level]:primary(4 squares)
[Features]:
1. Train soldiers:
Villagers who have undergone training will permanently become soldiers, with their physical fitness comprehensively improved by 10%, and there is a small probability of comprehending combat skills.
2. Combat conscription: Arm villagers temporarily for battle, lasting 5 minutes...
As expected, the[Blacksmith Shop]and the[Militia Camp]were the same as in his previous life, without any changes.
The[Blacksmith Shop]and the[Militia Camp]were closely related. The latter trained militiamen, while the former could enhance the strength of the troops.
Of course, Lincoln, who had Rimuru, actually looked down on the ordinary militiamen trained by the Militia Camp.
There was no way around it; the combat effectiveness of ordinary militiamen was really limited.
Even if the enhancement of the primary Blacksmith Shop was maxed out and the militiamen were upgraded to the first - order full - level.
their combat power evaluation would not exceed 30 points, far inferior to Rimuru, who had a combat power evaluation of 60 points even at level 1.
The combat effectiveness of militiamen was indeed limited.
Many lords relied on attacking wild troop nests to change the troop attributes of the Militia Camp.
But now, the Doomsday version hadn't been updated yet, and the wild troop nests were just things like wolf dens, or at most, tiger dens.
Their combat effectiveness was not much better than that of ordinary militiamen.
Just then, a golden - shining prompt appeared on his screen.
[Ding! There is a "Troop Big Package". Do you want to recharge to get it?]
The early - morning sleepiness immediately disappeared.
Lincoln grinned: "I knew there had to be a big package here!"
Actually, if you thought about it carefully, [Sweet Home] was also a game that required heavy spending before shutting down.
Sure enough, when Lincoln opened the big package, he found that the Troop Big Package was in the form of a blind - box draw.
To be honest, this kind of blind - box package was like a money - pit for players. Once you started the blind - box draw, it could be an endless cycle.
Other players would definitely look down on the[Troop Blind - Box Package].
But for Lincoln, the system prompt was like the sound of heaven.
He didn't rush to buy the blind - box package but first looked at the rules for the draw.
The rules were quite easy to understand.
Players could choose to draw from three levels of blind - box packages, and each blind - box package had 10 draw chances.
The lowest - level was the Bronze Package, which cost 100 gems per blind - box, and there was a small probability of getting rare troop nests.
Above that was the Gold Package, which cost 1000 gems per blind - box, and there was a certain probability of getting rare troop nests.
The highest - level was the Diamond Package, which had a relatively high probability of getting rare troop nests.
"Just rare troops..." Lincoln raised his eyebrows.
Obviously, he wasn't very satisfied. But then he thought about it. Rare troop nests were still quite good initial troop nests in the early stage.
He smiled self - deprecatingly. Since being reborn yesterday, everything had gone smoothly at the start.
Recharging for a high - level VIP, drawing a legendary 5 - star hero card, and getting a perfect - grade defensive building blueprint... Such a start had really spoilt his appetite.
The attractiveness of rare - grade troop nests had decreased a lot for him, which was unimaginable in his previous life.
"Sure enough, relying on luck won't change your bad fortune, but recharging can change your destiny!"
Lincoln smiled and moved his finger to the button of the[Diamond Blind - Box Package].
There was no question about it.
If you were going to buy, buy the most expensive one!
"Let's buy 100 first." Lincoln entered 100 in the number field and clicked confirm -
[Ding! Your gem balance is insufficient. Please recharge in time!]
He slapped his forehead and almost forgot about this.
Although he had spent few gems yesterday, he had thought recharging was too time - consuming and hadn't recharged many.
Now, he had less than a million gems. He tried to recharge once and found that the recharge channel still had a limit.
He frowned slightly: "What's going on with Secretary Emily? When did his work efficiency become so slow?"
Just as he finished speaking, the system prompt rang:
[Ding! Considering the recharge habits of user "I'm a Big Spender", a large - amount recharge channel has now been opened for you. Please check the details for specific rules!]
[Warm reminder: The final interpretation right belongs to the official. Please recharge carefully.]
Here it comes! Lincoln's eyes lit up, and his tone changed: "Sure enough, Secretary Emily lives up to his name. Is there anything in this world that he can't handle?"
Just now, although he had said those words, in fact, it was only nine o'clock in the morning.
Most office workers had just arrived at work.
He didn't know how Secretary Emily had managed to do it with such high efficiency!
Back then, Lincoln had valued Secretary Emily's terrifying work ability and had offered him a million - dollar annual salary.
And Secretary Emily had never disappointed him.
Over the years, as long as a task was assigned, Lincoln basically didn't need to worry about it.
"It seems I have to raise his salary. From now on..."
He paused slightly and the corner of his mouth twitched upwards, "I'll pay him with gems instead."
In his previous life, he had been struggling to survive on his own.
Even if he had brought Secretary Emily with him, it would have just been a drag on each other. But this time, he had more than enough ability to bring along some friends.
You know, in the later national war, players didn't just compete based on the strength of their individual territories but also on their social connections.
Powerful allies were also part of one's strength. Having someone like Secretary Emily, who had good abilities and was trustworthy, as an ally was definitely better than having strangers.
After solving the recharge problem, Lincoln found it much easier to recharge.
"Let's recharge ten million gems first."
After the recharge limit was lifted, there was an additional special recharge column.
He simply entered seven zeros after 1 in the number field and clicked confirm!
[Ding! You have successfully recharged 10,000,000 gems.]
[Congratulations, player. Your recharge amount has reached 10,000,000. You have unlocked VIP8 privileges.]
[Player has unlocked VIP8 privileges: The basic territory range is increased by 50%, the resource - collection speed of farmers is increased by 400%, the building speed is increased by 400%, the movement speed within the territory is increased by 20%, the favorability of the villagers is increased by 15, the number of free weekly refreshes in the mysterious store is increased by 8, the number of refreshes in the mercenary camp is increased by 8...]
After spending ten million, Lincoln's VIP level had successfully reached VIP8.
This VIP level was on par with that of the Bright Empress, who was at the top of the wealth list .
He had also rushed to the second place wealth list, even leaving the third - place player millions of wealth points behind.
Lincoln just took a brief look and then ignored it. He simply bought 100[Diamond Blind - Box Packages].
[Ding! 1,000,000 gems have been successfully deducted. Congratulations on getting "100 Diamond Blind - Box Packages"!]
One hundred dazzling diamond gift boxes neatly appeared in the attachment in his in - game mailbox.
"Open the blind boxes!" After Lincoln clicked to receive them, he didn't hesitate and immediately opened 10 blind boxes.
Right from the start, it was a luxurious 100 - time draw! The next second, the draw prompt sounds rang non - stop.
