After transmigrating into the impoverished barony of Graystone, Lane has only 36 gold coins to his name. Outside, a tyrannical tax collector watches hungrily, while inside, three hundred serfs are on the verge of starving to death.
Fortunately, he can summon a group of immortal players known as the "Fourth Calamity." He thought he could build his fortune using this free labor force, until he received the first overdue notice from the Wonder System!
Looking at the illegal structure at the village entrance, built from rotten wood, a chicken-coop base, and a battered iron pot, Lane's vision went black:
[Warning! Players have spontaneously constructed a Tier One Wonder, the Hometown Beacon Tower! To prevent physical collapse, the System has automatically advanced the cost of anchoring its laws. Current territory debt: -264 gold!]
Lane grabbed his head in despair. "That's just a few rotten boards propping up a busted iron pot! You call that a wonder?! Where the hell am I supposed to get the money to pay for it?!" Even worse, the brains of these ridiculous players never stopped churning:
They cobbled together a broken rail slide from crooked planks, and the System ruled it a [Tier One: Endless Artery Rail], charging him 500 gold!
They set up a mud stall under a ragged cloth awning, and the System ruled it a [Tier One: Absolutely Equitable Market], charging him 800 gold!
They slapped a wall of mud lumps across a mountain pass, and the System ruled it a [Tier Two: United We Stand Wall], charging him 3,000 gold!
To keep the wonders from exploding, Lane has to stand in the plaza every day as a "human fountain," setting players' bones and restoring their health. With tears in his eyes, he can only post a server-wide bounty:
"Brothers, the tax collector at the neighboring Blackcrow Castle, Osmond, is loaded... Whoever empties his vault tonight gets to have their name carved into the base of the next wonder!"
As of May 26, I think it is more suitable for the 2000s and the reality of the 10s. The conflicts between the characters are well portrayed and the details are also described delicately.
