Chapter 96 We are the beacon
Yaocheng’s achievements exceeded expectations.
Lu Yao originally thought that this city would promote theology and astrology, and the next step would be the advanced development of mysticism and alchemy. Eventually, it would become the holy center of this pixel world, a place similar to Jerusalem.
Now he realized that he had been a little prejudiced.
Everything must be considered in the context of the times and the overall environment.
Theology is indeed old-fashioned in the technological age.
But when cities were first established, theology was synonymous with advancement.
Lu Yao has played a lot of historical strategy games, and these games all describe that early clergy, whether shamans, monks, priests or Taoists, were usually also doctors, astronomers, mathematicians and philosophers.
Today, Yaocheng has exerted the power of theology.
Driven by the belief in gods, this place brings together a large group of scholars who try to understand the world by reading books and miracles.
Not far outside the temple, a stone sculpture was placed by the little people.
This stone carving is marked with: [Kingdom in Water].
Lu Yao double-clicked the stone statue to get a clear and large image.
The Kingdom of Water is a contemporary globe made by Yaocheng. Its structure is a bit simple: two continents and a series of small islands float in a sea, and the ocean is a long thin slice that looks like a chocolate chip with a few nuts on it.
There is also a sentence engraved on the model.
"Water is the source of all things, and all things return to water"
Yaocheng produced the earliest schools, seminaries, scholars, and world models.
Lu Yao couldn't help but be curious.
What about Yancheng, Yaocheng's rival? He switched his perspective and came to the sky above Yancheng behind the mountains in the west.
As soon as the transfer was made, a series of reminders popped up on the simulator.
【The medicine spoon invented the oil lamp. 】
【Yancheng invented lighthouse science.】
【Yancheng built its first lighthouse.】
[Discovered the prototype of a usable wonder: Lighthouse. 】
…
——Great God, one of our believers has performed a feat far beyond her peers. Do you need to transform her into a hero?
Lu Yao clicked on the temple first.
Inside the temple, there was a young girl kneeling on the ground, with her hands folded together, praying to the statue.
The name above her head shows [Medicine Spoon] and she is 21 years old.
This is the first time that Lu Yao has transformed a villain into a female hero. The previous Hemira was a prophet.
In the portrait, Yaoshao is a young girl with a scorpion tail braid. She sits at a table, her chin resting on her folded hands, looking happily at an oil lamp on the table.
There is also a sentence below that represents the medicine spoon.
——Humans are animals who have learned to make friends with fire.
…
【Hero Lv1】Medicine Spoon
Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 2 Mana 0 Luck 1 Morale 0 [Ability]
Wisdom Lv1: Wisdom is the key for the Apostle to listen to the will of God. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.
Medicine Lv1: Good at medical treatment, with a certain probability of inventing new drugs or treatments.
Invention Lv1: The probability of inventing new things increases.
…
Lu Yao was delighted.
Initial three skills! The girl with scorpion tail braids is a doctor by profession, but she is also an inventor.
An absolute genius.
The key point is that she is a hero born naturally from the salt pond. This indirectly shows that the salt pond model is feasible and beneficial to the villain group.
Lu Yao silently memorized the name of the medicine spoon in the little notebook in his mind.
This is the talent that we will focus on in the future.
After gradually calming down from his surprise, Lu Yao thought about creating some spectacles in these two cities.
Currently, he has control over two wonders, one is the [Beer Colosseum] owned by Yaocheng, and the other is the [Fire of Aegir] in the northern forest.
Ever since it was confirmed that wonders would not force players to ascend to the Temple of the Gods, Lu Yao's attitude towards wonders had changed.
Of course it would be great if you have it, but if you don’t, it’s not a big deal.
Now both cities have created the rudiments of the wonder, which shows that they are developing well and have taken a step forward.
But there are not many faiths nowadays.
Lu Yao looked at the upper right corner.
Population: 22,723 Faith: 5,951 The population has been growing steadily, but the faith has been depleted repeatedly due to the lifting of the seal on the snowman and the battle against the Kaikasagasa God.
It is still a period of war, and these reserves of faith cannot be moved for the time being.
We can only put aside the spectacle for now.
Lu Yao scratched his head.
I used to think I was very rich, but after the war, I became tight again. No matter how much faith I have, it is not enough to spend, I have to accumulate more.
Fortunately, he now has 14 faith-boosting items, and has a fixed income of 672 points of faith every day.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just wait another week and you'll be able to recover.
…
Lu Yao overlooks Yancheng.
A lighthouse was built near the city port in the northwest.
It is not a magnificent or beautiful structure, but a low stone tower. At night, firewood is lit on the tower.
The Yancheng Lighthouse is used more as a landmark lighting to guide ships returning from the sea.
Next to the library in the center of the city, Mayor Yu Lian was giving a speech. Shang Li stood silently behind him, acting as a kind of think tank.
Commander Yangel leads the Corruptors to maintain order among the crowd around him.
Yu Lian said: "Citizens, we are facing a severe challenge. This challenge comes from the city of Yao in the east."
"Everyone knows that we in Yancheng have been developing commercial trade and devoting ourselves to various new inventions. But this has always been condemned by Yaocheng."
"The prophet Hemira has asked me many times to change Yancheng, abandon the current business operations, replace the library with a seminary, replace beast fighting with prayer, and expel the so-called 'degenerates'."
"She believes that Yaocheng represents the will of the gods, and Yancheng must follow their footsteps."
"However, the gods have never given such guidance or recognition."
"Citizens, are you willing to accept Yao Cheng's leadership?"
The citizens of Yancheng erupted in strong opposition.
"What a joke! If everyone is like Yaocheng, who will raise cattle, sheep and pigs? Where do they get their wood and salt? Aren't they all produced in Yancheng?"
"It's jealousy. They are jealous that Yancheng is getting richer and richer."
"That's right! Yaocheng is jealous. After Master Senjian passed away, people from that place kept migrating here because Yancheng has a better life and cheaper goods."
“Yancheng is the best!”
…
"Please be quiet, be quiet."
Yu Lian continued, "The prophet believes that the Yaocheng way is the right one. But I don't think so. The population of Yancheng is growing, and people are constantly moving from Yaocheng to Yancheng to join us!"
"This is everyone's most genuine choice, proving that Yancheng has better conditions than Yaocheng, and is more tolerant and pragmatic!"
"Without the blessing of God Yao, Yancheng would not have come this far."
"Since we are facing a challenge, let us prove that Yancheng is the choice and favor of the gods, and the choice of everyone!"
"We will be like a lighthouse on the seashore, lighting the way for everyone!"
"We are the lighthouse!"
After Yu Lian finished his speech, the citizens responded one after another, raising their arms and cheering.
“We are the beacon!”
“We are the lighthouse!”
…
Lu Yao opened a bag of original potato chips and ate them while watching.
Not bad.
The competition between cities began.
Lu Yao is looking forward to this battle between two cities.
I don’t know how the two cities will prove that they are the leaders of pixel humans.
