The game has become a real alternate world

Chapter 1181: Chapter 813: Construction Worker Mode (Part 2)

The new interface was the new ability he obtained after holding the Authority Scepter.

First, there was a bird’s-eye view 3D map.

It’s like a map, but different from a typical bird’s-eye view, more clearly displayed.

The displayed range, if Lurik didn’t feel wrong, should be the range covered by the Iron Flower in the sky.

This range should be what’s called the territory.

It was displayed on the map.

And densely marked on the map were numerous spots, representing individual life forms.

The life forms here broadly refer to intelligent life forms, i.e., residents of the port.

Beside the map was a large list of various data.

Population, resources, area, buildings, beneficial effects, environment, weather...

A wide variety of data, listed densely, with extreme detail.

Lurik felt dazzled for a moment.

Fortunately, he was, after all, the leader of the expedition, and had been a Dwarf Sage, also part of the leadership among the Night Watchers, so such dense data was not difficult for him.

He soon categorized and summarized everything.

In simple terms, having such a panel would make his work many times easier.

Just purely having the statistics was already very good, and if these real-time statistics could be distributed to other city managers...

Then Lurik was confident that the operation of this city would become the best in the world.

So advanced, so user-friendly.

"Impressive, right?"

Kana said with a smile from beside him.

Although he hadn’t exerted much effort, he had given suggestions.

For the comprehensive datafication of the Earthly Divine Kingdom, although Bobo and the others had become quite flexible in their thinking, Kana still found them a bit rigid here and there.

Moreover, in order not to waste time,

Kana directly dumped all the various settings he knew from games in his previous life for Bobo and the others to pick and combine or expand upon.

Bobo and the others could complete this very well, achieving results beyond expectations.

The main thing was to use this information to broaden Bobo and the others’ horizons and thinking.

Judging from the current results, it’s very good.

"This is just statistics, there are other functions too, don’t you want to use them?"

Lurik heard this, looking at the other two functions on the Authority Scepter: Buildings and Construction.

They sounded the same, but their literal meanings were vastly different.

One was for viewing/managing buildings, the other for construction activities.

"Adjust your panel, slightly zoom into the city on the map."

Lurik nodded, he could understand this easily, swiping the panel twice, zooming the map into the city.

As he slid, the surrounding data began to change, directly turning into the names of various buildings.

And Lurik could click on some main buildings in the city to learn their detailed data.

"..."

In that moment, Lurik understood.

"Are these buildings also being datafied like equipment?"

He was somewhat surprised.

Kana chuckled and said, "It’s not as amazing as you think, it’s just a prototype, and an early prototype at that. Didn’t you notice the building data is just simple introductions?"

Simply put, it’s not yet like a game where buildings can be endowed with special abilities, it’s just descriptive text.

Lurik realized this, the earlier statistics function had raised his expectations high.

Now he didn’t feel too disappointed, instead, somewhat relieved.

If the leap was too big all at once, he might find it difficult to adapt.

"But Bobo and the others are working hard in this area, maybe in a year or two, there could be a breakthrough in the relevant technology."

Kana couldn’t guarantee, since it’s all still in various stages of tech validation right now.

Next was the construction function.

Lurik had lowered his expectations, yet the construction function greatly surpassed them.

Many building blueprints were recorded inside the Iron Flower Structure in the sky, all the blueprints from the Night Watcher’s inventory were thrown in.

And the Iron Flower Structure rearranged them in some new ways, Bobo even had some tourers scan their respective cities.

In other words, there were numerous building blueprints, too many to see at once.

"Don’t look at all these, being experimental, they’re all crammed in. Look at the standard module units on the side."

Following Kana’s words, Lurik acted.

Sure enough, a new chart appeared on the side, greatly simplifying the buildings, leaving only a few types.

Each type came in different styles, for him to choose from.

"These are all filtered, whether in style, appearance, or utility, they are standard-compliant blueprints."

In simple terms, they achieved a perfect balance in many aspects.

"For example, this watchtower, drag it out and place it where you think it should be built."

Lurik followed the instructions, dragging out one of the standard watchtower blueprints, placing it in a spot he had previously planned (he just hadn’t given the order to construct yet).

Soon, a virtual image appeared on the map with a progress bar (0%).

And this watchtower could be seen from the top of their current Floating Tower, so Lurik looked in that direction.

As expected.

In that place, a mirage-like phantom formed from Magic Power appeared, vaguely standing there.

People passing by were startled, maintaining vigilance, looking around the virtual projection.

Soon, a Night Watcher gave an explanation.

Then, the port’s building team’s channel inexplicably received a message.

[Iron Flower: Please bring... materials to coordinates... to construct the phantom.]

The building team scratched their heads, puzzled.

Then the captain saw a message command from Lurik in the channel, instructing them to follow the guidance.

Since Lurik had issued the order, they naturally didn’t worry too much and acted, taking sufficient building materials with them.

The building team arrived beside the phantom upon receiving the order.

Then they gained a new status.

[Builder Mode]

[Builder Mode: Under the coverage of the Iron Flower Structure, you have connected with the structure. Your building abilities will now be fully datafied, gaining the Builder Datafication skill.]

Seeing the description of this status, the building team captain was a bit confused.

"What does this mean?"

"Yeah, Captain, I don’t quite understand it either."

"A new secondary profession?"

"Builder? You could say that, considering our Night Watcher nature."

The Night Watchers themselves knew they had a fascination with spectacular constructions.

Introducing a Builder secondary profession didn’t surprise them.

However, it didn’t seem to be the case.

They began working under guidance.

Then they noticed the difference.

"Wait a minute, why do I feel like my actions are faster? Like I’ve been accelerated."

"Right, me too, and there’s information in my head guiding me on where to start for quicker progress."

"Exactly, it’s telling me to wait for a moment."

While the building team was confused, their actions became highly automated, not lacking creativity or the results of their own work.

But because in a kind of accelerated state, they built very quickly, along with information assistance, their coordination could be described as seamless.

Adventurers and Night Watchers watching nearby were stunned.

They just saw the builders going up and down, jumping here and landing there inexplicably.

Actions were extremely fast and precise.

Then they saw the entire building almost being constructed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until Lurik saw the progress bar on the map fill to 100%.

Only three hours had passed.

Don’t underestimate those three hours; there were preparations involved, and because the building team was unfamiliar with such a unique situation, a lot of time was wasted in the beginning.

If they were familiar, two hours would be enough.

And so, a brand-new, blueprint-compliant watchtower was built.

The Night Watchers’ efficiency was never this fast before.

"It’s decent, right? This is just the early stage result, it still needs this big flower on top as the core.

In the future, it could be even more perfect."

Simply put, the future is promising.
