Chapter 824 Promotion to the Capital City

An announcement from the Four Seas Bank put [Tingyulou] and other defector guilds into an embarrassing situation immediately.

In addition to the watching players, members of these guilds questioned the decision of the president and asked the president to give a reasonable explanation.

In view of Huitong Bank's bad record of giving "kickbacks", some players even questioned whether there was any benefit transfer in this stupid transfer of assets, thus harming the interests of the guild.

For a while, the [Tingyu Tower] and other guilds were in turmoil, casting a shadow over the happy atmosphere of taking down the satellite city. The guild has established a dominant position, and the members care more about their own interests.

Seeing this, the retail investors who were originally affected are also completely at ease, and will not foolishly invest in Huitong Bank. An announcement prepared by Meng Zhida in advance perfectly made this retreat turmoil invisible.

Some methods in the dark, after all, can't be put on the table.

Daoist Qingniu and the other three looked even paler. Facing the huge liquidated damages proposed by the Four Seas Bank, they were already furious, and they didn't expect this to happen.

The agreement was written in black and white, and there was no way to deny it. It was really a tooth and blood swallow, and it was hard to say.

They were already bored enough, and there was a turmoil inside, and they had to bother to appease the gang, which made them burnt out, and destroyed the good mood of victory in one fell swoop.

In Jianqi Leiyin's heart, there was already some remorse.

The fact that [Shangxue Meigui] saved the satellite city proves that [Silver Hand] is not as scary as it said. Maybe with a good operation, [Tingyu Tower] can win the satellite city by virtue of its own strength.

If you really want to do that, you don't have to be coerced by the [Silver Hand], it's really aggrieved.

Just at this moment, Bloody Romance ran out to join in the fun again. Ouyang Shuo and Bloody Romance issued a joint statement that Shanhai City and the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] formed iron-blooded allies to advance and retreat together in the wilderness.

Previously, the relationship between the two was just a normal cooperative relationship, but this time it was a complete success in holding hands. With the support of the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group], the guild forces of the [Shanhai League] are not completely wiped out in the north.

Don't forget, Scarlet Romance has a [Map of the Underground World (Disabled)] in his hand. Sitting in the satellite city of Xianyang, the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] is destined to be one step ahead of others in exploring the underground world.

[Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] The status of the first guild in China is still unshakable.

Except for Ouyang Shuo, no one knew the reason why Bloody Romance changed his attitude. In the afternoon, Bloody Romance paid a sudden visit to Shanhai City. The two talked for less than an hour before they reached the previous joint statement.

From Bloody Romance, Ouyang Shuo learned more secrets about [Silver Hand]. Ouyang Shuo became more and more cautious about this mysterious organization.

…………

On this day, big dramas were staged in turn, making the players dazzled and confused.

Shanhai City's counterattack came to an end for the time being. Ouyang Shuo also considered whether to ask the Black Snake Guard to quietly spread the news about [Silver Hand] to arouse the indignation of grassroots players.

Think about it, or give up, because the time is not yet ripe.

Now that the [Silver Hand] is exposed, it is more likely that the grassroots players will not be indignant, but that they will be in awe and dare not be an enemy. On the contrary, it will put Shanhai City in an embarrassing situation.

Once the interests of the game are linked to the interests of reality, don't expect to have so many passionate people who don't care about remuneration.

The players who are really reliable in the future are the players who moved to Shanhai City to settle down, because there is a relationship between the two that prospers and prospers, and that both loses.

That's why Ouyang Shuo said that the time is not yet ripe.

The game has only been in Gaia for four years, Ouyang Shuo has a lot of patience, and slowly deals with [Silver Hand]. Right now, it is the most important thing to promote Shanhai City to the capital as soon as possible.

*************

On March 1st of the fourth year of Gaia, Shanhai City.

In less than five months, the population of Shanhai City reached the upper limit of two million. This is still under the premise that the Civil Affairs Bureau strictly checks and screens immigrants.

Otherwise, a million people could be gathered within four months.

In the main hall of the Southern Border Protectorate's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo opened the territory operation panel, clicked Apply for Territory Upgrade, and a system prompt sounded in his ears, which was a series of basic condition tests.

"System prompt: Detect the conditions for Shanhai City to apply for promotion..."

"Condition 1: The population reaches the upper limit of 2 million people, meeting the requirements!"

"Condition 2: All basic buildings are completed and meet the requirements!"

When it comes to basic buildings, one has to mention the star observatory in the third-level county town. Because of Zouyan's inability to see the head but not the end, and the Yin Yang family hides, Ouyang Shuo is worried to death.

The completion of the observatory was just a few days ago.

After Jiang Shang agreed to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, he learned of Ouyang Shuo's difficulties and contacted Zou Yan personally. Although Zouyan still didn't want to go out, he still sent two disciples for Jiang Shang's sake.

In this way, the observatory was built.

"Condition 3: The title of lord is at least a duke, which meets the requirements!"

Ouyang Shuo had already been promoted to Duke when he was sailing in the ocean. Half a year has passed, and the merit points have not been lost, but the distance to the next level of Wang Jue is still far away.

Fortunately, the minimum standard for establishing a country is also a duke, so there is no rush.

"Condition 4: The four indexes of politics, economy, culture, and military are not lower than 90 points, and the technological index is not lower than 80 points, which meets the requirements!"

Compared with the third-level county city, the requirements for the five territorial indexes have risen to a higher level when promoted to the capital city.

"Condition 5: Own at least three counties, meet the requirements!"

According to normal development, when a territory is promoted to a third-level county, it must occupy at least one county, otherwise it will not be promoted. The promotion to the capital has tripled on the second basis, which is equivalent to more than half of the province.

Therefore, even though China has a vast territory, when the era of the capital comes, the number of wilderness lords will be very few. Until then, it will be called the real vassal struggle for hegemony.

"Condition 6: The air luck of the territory is at least the second level [red luck], which meets the requirements!"

After winning [Lingnan City-State] and [Yunnan City-State] one after another, the cultivation of the Dragon of Luck has greatly increased. Not only that, after the annexation of Lingxi City, the luck of Lingxi City was also swallowed by the dragon of luck.

Therefore, although the Dragon of Luck is still at the second-tier red dragon rank, three-quarters of the purple energy has been occupied, and it is about to be fully promoted to the third-tier purple dragon.

[Red Luck] is the minimum requirement of the dynasty, so it is included in the basic requirements when promoting the capital.

"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi, all the application requirements for the established Shanhai City have been met, do you want to apply for promotion immediately?"

"Apply!"

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi for successfully applying, and the automatic matching of the capital city promotion task will begin."

...

"System prompt: Task matching complete!"

"Task 1 [Imperial Court Evaluation]: To accept the evaluation of Dali imperial court officials, the five territorial indexes of politics, economy, culture, technology and military must all meet the standards of good or above."

The first task made Ouyang Shuo's brows twitch, as expected, he still couldn't escape this catastrophe.

Dali is currently in a hostile relationship with Shanhai City, and Ming Yuezhao Dajiang's arrest shows that [Silver Hand] is also secretly provoking the relationship between the Dali court and Shanhai City.

Let the officials of the Dali court come to assess Shanhai City, I really don't know what will go wrong.

However, the five territory indexes are hard indicators, and it is an important window to fully reflect the development achievements of the territory in various fields. Gaia seems to want to be serious this time, and she doesn't want to just make a fuss about the numbers on the attribute bar, but wants to come to a field assessment, seeing is believing.

Originally, this was not wrong, after all, he was promoted to the capital city, so Ouyang Shuo could understand it if he was more cautious. It's just that Gaia chose the Dali court to send inspection officials, which made Ouyang Shuo very headache.

If it was the Quanzhou court, Ouyang Shuo was confident that he would pass the examination.

Dali's words are hard to say.

In view of the fairness that Gaia has always upheld, the officials sent by the Dali court dared not pretend to be public for their own interests, blatantly smeared, and deliberately prevented Shanhai City from passing. But they can make things difficult and tricky within the scope allowed by the rules of the game, which Gaia can't control.

Perhaps in the eyes of Gaia, this incident itself can be regarded as a kind of experience.

"Task 2 [Thirty-six lines]: To be promoted to the city, you must have all the jobs in the thirty-six lines."

Thirty-six trades is the collective name of the main industries in China during the Tang Dynasty, including butcher shops, palace powder shops, garment shops, jade shops, jewelry shops, silk shops, hemp shops, jewelry shops, paper shops, seafood shops, fresh fish shops, Stationery store, tea store, bamboo and wood store, wine and rice store, ironware store, Gu embroidery store, needle and thread store, soup store store, medicine store store, tie-making store, Wuzuo store, witch store, post-post store, pottery clay store, Coffin shop, leather shop, old shop, sauce shop, firewood shop, netting shop, flower yarn shop, juggling shop, colorful shop, drum music shop and flower and fruit shop.

The task of [Thirty-six Lines] is obviously a comprehensive evaluation of the social form of the city. If you can't even make up the thirty-six lines, you naturally don't deserve to be promoted to the capital city.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, he was not sure. As a lord, he didn't dare to say he was familiar with all of these thirty-six lines. Some lines had strange names, and Ouyang Shuo didn't know exactly what they were doing.

For example, walking in nets and yarns made Ouyang Shuo a little dumbfounded. He could only discuss it with the ministers under his command after he came down, hoping that nothing would go wrong.

"Mission 3 [New type of arms]: Based on the existing army, develop a new type of arms."

The third task was a big loss for Shanhai City. Shanhai City has a complete range of arms, land, water, and air forces, and there are also special arms such as trapped camps, tiger and leopard cavalry, iron eagle swordsmen, and iron armored beast cavalry.

However, the mission requirement is to develop a new type of arms based on the existing foundation. Knowing that there would be such a wonderful mission, Ouyang Shuo let Gao Shun's trap team form later.

Let Du Ruhui worry about this task.

"System prompt: The three promotion tasks must be completed in order to successfully advance."

Well, there is not even a choice.

Compared with the promotion of the county city, the task of promoting the capital city this time is not easy.
