Faced with this option,
the old Zhao Chi would definitely have struggled with it for a while.
But now, there was no need.
He clicked directly on one of the options.
Transplantation activated again.
〖The current option has met the conditions for "Transplantation." Transfer information?〗
Transfer!
This time, he chose grassland.
After all, grassland could be used to raise animals.
Although it would add the step of weeding when clearing land for Farmland,
it would also yield byproducts like hay.
'It has its pros and cons, I suppose.'
Soon, the option changed to:
[Grassland: Soil Quality +30%, Mineral Quality +30%]
An increase in mineral quality would yield minerals like gemstones.
He clicked to select grassland.
A system prompt appeared:
[Initial Territory Conditions: Temperate, Plains, Grassland]
[Temperate: Plant growth speed +20%, Mineral generation speed +20%]
[Plains: Potential arable land +80%, Mineral reserves +80%]
[Grassland: Soil Quality +30%, Mineral Quality +30%]
[Confirm?]
'Of course, I confirm!'
Zhao Chi immediately confirmed his choices.
System prompt:
[Please set your initial configuration]
[100 Configuration Points]
[1. Weeds: 1 point]
[2. Wild Vegetables: 2 points]
[3. Wild Fruits: 3 points]
[4. Herbs: 5 points]
[5. Animals: 5 points]
[6. Forest: 5 points]
[7. Lake: 10 points]
[8. Creek: 10 points]
[9. River: 30 points]
[10. Great River: 50 points]
He had learned about these options long ago.
Weeds: Useless. His Territory World was already grassland, so weeds were abundant.
Wild Vegetables: A patch of wild vegetables. Considered a starting food source, they could be gathered and eaten. As long as the roots weren't destroyed, they could be harvested again upon maturity.
Wild Fruits: A patch of wild fruits. Same as wild vegetables, they could be repeatedly harvested.
Herbs: A patch of herbs. However, herbs were a one-time harvest; once picked, they were gone. They could restore a small amount of Life.
Animals: A herd of 100 animals of random species. Also a one-time resource. They provided meat, leather, and could also be domesticated.
Forest: A forest of 100 trees of random thickness. Also a one-time resource. Chopping them down yielded wood for Buildings or fuel.
Lake: A small lake. It contained an abundance of aquatic life like fish and shrimp, serving as a food source. Multiple lakes could be connected to form a larger one.
Creek: Just a creek. It had some small fish that could be caught, but its main purpose was providing a water source.
River: A river with more fish. It was navigable by boat, allowing for the construction of a small dock. Occasionally, traveling merchants might arrive by boat.
Great River: A large river with even more fish, navigable by large ships. A fleet could be built, but it came with the risk of floods and invasion by other fleets.
Among these options,
for options 1-6, the territory would come with some by default.
Even if not chosen, there would still be a few.
Just not in large quantities.
Selecting them meant you got more.
However, options 7-10 had to be chosen; if not, there would be none in the beginning.
You would have to wait until later to add them.
In the early stages, you could only rely on digging wells for water.
Zhao Chi first tried clicking to see if Transplantation would still be Effective.
Sure enough, it worked again!
'It can even transfer data like this.'
'In that case, I won't hold back.'
He needed three things right now.
Food, trees, and a river.
Of these, food and wood could both be purchased.
They could be bought from other Lords.
They could also be bought from the Great World and teleported in.
But purchasing required money.
Zhao Chi had no money.
Besides, relying on purchases was never as dependable as being self-sufficient.
He didn't need too much food.
Just enough to eat was fine.
And it was best to focus on animals.
After all, Hunting animals provided meat and leather for making Equipment.
Plus, the fat could be used to make torches; it was a multi-purpose resource.
He needed more wood.
After all, wood was necessary for construction, making Weapons, and furniture.
Wood was also an important fuel.
He wouldn't choose the Great River for now.
It wasn't needed in the early stages.
And it came with the risk of floods and invasions from other fleets.
He could add a Great River later on.
He didn't need a lake either.
But he did need a river.
After careful consideration,
in the end, Zhao Chi made his changes:
He moved the cost of "Wild Fruits" to "River."
He moved the cost of "Wild Vegetables" to "Animals."
He moved the cost of "Weeds" to "Forest."
This way, the river now only cost 3 Configuration Points, animals only cost 2, and the forest only cost 1.
A moment later, Zhao Chi finished his selection:
[Your selections are as follows]:
[Animals x10: 20 points]
[Forest x77: 77 points]
[River x1: 3 points]
[Confirm?]
Zhao Chi double-checked, and after confirming there were no errors, he clicked confirm.
He hadn't chosen herbs. Although they were a necessity, they could be purchased.
Herbs were light in Weight, so they were easy to teleport into the territory after buying them.
As for wild vegetables and fruits, they could be grown in the territory or bought directly.
Besides, the territory already came with a small amount.
It wasn't much, but it would be enough for the beginning.
[Initial configuration complete]
[Your territory is now generating]
[Generation complete! Your territory is a small Village Level territory. You may enter after naming it.]
He had to name it before he could enter.
Zhao Chi had long had an idea for the name.
He really wanted to name his territory "Zhonghua," "Huaxia," "Yanhuang," "Shenzhou," or something similar.
But after thinking it over, he felt he was unworthy of them.
To him, these names were gradually receding memories,
becoming more and more sacred in his heart.
Zhao Chi had another option in mind.
When he was in school, he had studied a piece of writing.
It was "The Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring," written by an ancient scholar.
It told the story of a fisherman who stumbled into a secluded paradise, explored it for a while, and eventually returned to his own home.
He felt that "Peach Blossom Spring" perfectly represented his current Mood.
To him, this world was a Peach Blossom Spring.
He hoped that one day, like the fisherman in "The Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring," he could return to his own world.
So, he typed a name into the field: [Peach Blossom Spring]
System prompt:
[Your territory has been named "Peach Blossom Village." Confirm?]
Confirm.
[Name successfully set. You can now view your territory information or enter the territory.]
Zhao Chi didn't enter just yet.
Instead, he first clicked on the territory information.
[Territory Information]:
[Name]Peach Blossom Village
[Affiliation]Snowfield Lord Academy
[Owner]Zhao Chi
[Village Chief]Zhao Chi
[Level]Small Village
[Population]1 person
[Area]10 square kilometers
[Race]Not set

[Building]Wooden House (Lord's House) x1
A Basic village, completely empty.
'Of course it is.'
Also, the entire Territory World was only 10 square kilometers.
Very small.
But it would gradually expand later.
Right now, it was just him.
The Female Hero he'd selected earlier hadn't been set up yet.
She would appear after he finished the setup.
Although the territory belonged to him, he himself was a student of the Snowfield Lord Academy.
Therefore, the territory's superior was naturally the Snowfield Lord Academy.
The Race hadn't been set yet.
Previously, Zhao Chi had agonized over the initial Race for a long time.
As far as he was concerned, he still hoped to start with the Human Race.
But Humans' Attributes were too balanced.
No weaknesses, but mediocre.
