Chapter 86 A Tale of Two Cities

The Salt Tribe villains are a new type of naturally born human beings who are born with a hierarchy. However, there are only three people in the entire Yancheng, all children aged seven or eight.

They are much weaker than truly supernatural beings.

Lu Yao found the child with the highest level among the three and checked his panel.

…

【Salt Tribe LV2】Yanjiu

Health: 20/20

Mana: 5/5

Damage: 1

Defense: 1

Speed: 1

【longevity】

Have a longer lifespan.

…

Lu Yao always felt that there was something strange about these three young men with the title of [Salt Clan].

So he followed their tracks.

After some careful pursuit, Lu Yao found the source of the salt clan. The father of these three children is the same person, none other than [Corruption Guard] Yan Geer.

This guy gave birth to these three children with a Donghai woman from Yancheng, and often secretly sent meat and salt there.

Lu Yao felt mixed feelings.

The happy part is of course the interracial love, which gave birth to the [Salt Tribe] that has never existed before, and can improve the descendants of the entire tribe. From a long-term perspective, change is always a good thing.

The worrying part is. The emergence of the [Salt Tribe] marks a combination of ordinary people and extraordinary power. I don’t know in what direction it will lead the little people.

There is no precedent for this.

From now on, the pixel villain will deviate significantly from the history of mankind on earth, which gives Lu Yao a little headache.

It may not be long before there are no more homework to copy.

Overall, Lu Yao was happy with the birth of the [Salt Tribe].

They have their own [longevity] attribute. No matter what, it would definitely be a good thing if this attribute could gradually cover the entire city and allow every villain to have a longer period of growth.

Lu Yao decided to wait and see.

He is a catcher in the rye, letting these little people grow wild as long as they don't reach the cliff. Too much intervention will inhibit the creativity of little people and affect the civilization process of the pixel world itself.

…

Yancheng does not have the splendor of the tribal headquarters. They do not have a fashion-setting spectacle like the Colosseum, there are no [monuments] that symbolize history and inheritance, and they do not have such rich and diverse products. The population here is only 2,000, less than a quarter of the headquarters.

On the other hand, Yancheng does not have any historical burden.

There are not so many deep-rooted things here, there is no fanatical worship, there is no animal fighting culture, there is no tradition of praying and worshiping gods at every turn...

Yancheng is a brand new city, so it is not resistant to all new things.

The fishing company broke free from all kinds of constraints and showed its talents here.

Prompts pop up on the screen.

[Yu Lian invented the library. 】

[The intelligence of everyone in Yancheng has improved to a certain extent]

【Shang Li invented the homing pigeon. 】

[Yancheng mastered the methods of raising and using homing pigeons. 】

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

Shang Li actually came to settle in Yancheng?

He remembered this guy. Shang Li had been staying at the headquarters of the Garlic Tribe, running the Colosseum with Mu Ke. Now it has actually changed direction.

Lu Yao glanced over the city and found Shang Li following Yu Lian. It seems that he has become the deputy or partner of the fishing company.

Did you discover the money-making opportunity in Yancheng?

Regardless of the purpose, it's a good thing that these two tribal heroes can cooperate.

Yulian is highly creative, often has unconstrained ideas, and dares to turn his ideas into reality.

Shang Li pays attention to practicality and profit in doing things, and is essentially a very realistic businessman. His greatest advantage is that he has a sharp eye and can always find an excellent collaborator.

He had his eye on Mu Ke before, but now he has his sights on Yulian again.

Lu Yao watched the conversation between the two villains with great interest.

"Libraries have to charge."

Shang Li said: "Knowledge without price will not be valued and respected."

Yulian expressed opposition: "The purpose of building a library is to allow more people to read books and acquire knowledge. If seashells are collected, many people will not be willing to come to the library."

“There are always people who want to learn, and there are always people who don’t want to learn.”

Shang Li said: "It's just like meat. If we put a piece of meat on the roadside and say you can take it without any money, what will happen?"

"Of course someone will take the meat away."

"wrong."

A sweating emoji appeared above Shang Li's head: "This is what we businessmen have done before."

"The real situation is that many people came to see it, but no one picked up the meat because they all felt that there was something wrong with the meat. Many people told us that they would not be fooled and we should not treat them as fools. "

"If there is no problem, why should good meat be given away for free?"

"In the end, a wild dog ate the meat."

"..."

Shang Li continued: "However, if the price of meat is only slightly lowered, it will attract a lot of people to grab it. This is also the true experience of our businessmen."

"I know that you want everyone to learn knowledge. I also admire you, otherwise I would not leave the Colosseum and come over to work with you."

"It's a pity that you know a lot about knowledge, but you don't understand what people want."

"They don't need knowledge. In other words, they don't really want knowledge, they just want good things."

"So, good things definitely don't come in vain. They have to be paid to get them. This is something both hunters and farmers know."

Shang Li persuaded Yu Lian earnestly: "The reason why I said that the library needs to charge is to tell them that knowledge is precious and a good thing. In this way, they will cherish it."

"..."

Yu Lian was speechless.

He finally admitted: "You are right, I thought too simply. Let's charge."

"Yes, Mayor." A smiley face symbol appeared above Shang Li's head.

A question mark appeared above Yu Lian's head: "I ask again, why do you come here?"

"My answer is still the same, Mayor, because I am optimistic about this city and you, the mayor."

Shang Li said: "The Colosseum is good, but it is still not as good as a new city."

"The Colosseum in Yaocheng represents the past and the present."

"But this is the future."

"Merchants always bet on the future."

...

The library in Yancheng is very simple, just a large stone house built in the center of the city. It looks square, and the flag outside the house is painted with book patterns.

There was a person at the door shouting: "Library, library. Find the book you need, and someone will read the whole book to you, even if you don't know the words, you can understand it."

Because of the charging measures, not many people come here. Most people gathered outside, waiting for the people inside to come out and ask what they saw - commonly known as freeloading.

Yancheng is like a vigorous teenager, full of curiosity and motivation for everything, and stepping out without hesitation to try all kinds of new things.

...

Lu Yao moved his perspective.

Over at the Garlic Tribe headquarters, it was a different scene.

Some people indulged in the excitement and excitement brought by the Colosseum and beer, indulged in pleasure, and were intoxicated and crazy in blood and wine.

Others became fanatics like Puritans. They always praised the gods with their meals and water every day, quoted passages from the "God's Gospel", and prayed and worshiped to the temple.

There are also some people who yearn for wild adventures. They rode on paddle boats and rushed to the border of the broken world again and again, as if they were going to duel with invisible giants. Many people died in the sea because of this.

…

The abundance of food in a short period of time made most of the people in the tribe lose themselves, and also made the ancient tribal birthplace become decadent.

Commonly known as eating too much.

The death of the wizard Sen Jian made this situation even worse.

In the temple, the prophet Hemira finally got angry.

She began to lead scholars to preach everywhere, and let those who indulged in desires confess in front of the temple and the Gospel. Then she expelled some extreme hedonists, drove them indirectly to Yancheng, and created an army for this purpose.

[Hemira created the Temple Army. ]

[The Garlic Tribe learned to form and use the army. ]

[The Garlic Tribe established a city: Yaocheng. ]

Unlike Yancheng, Yaocheng is full of a strong atmosphere of god worship. It slowly became a city dominated by agriculture and religion.

Lu Yao overlooked the two cities in the east and west.

They set sail from the same starting point, and finally there was a fork in the direction.

The two cities will go further and further along their respective routes, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

Lu Yao leaned back in his chair, thinking of the classic opening of A Tale of Two Cities.

This is the best of times, this is the worst of times, this is...

I forgot what happened next.
