Chapter 96 We Are the Lighthouse
Yaocheng's achievements exceeded expectations.
Lu Yao originally thought that this city should 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 was a little preconceived.
Everything must be considered in the context of the times and the general environment.
Theology is indeed old and outdated in the technological age.
But when the city was first established, theology was synonymous with advancement.
Lu Yao has played many historical strategy games, and these games have descriptions. Early clergy, whether shamans, monks, priests or Taoists, were usually doctors, astronomers, mathematicians and philosophers.
Today, Yaocheng has exerted the power of theology.
Driven by the belief in gods, this place has brought together a large group of scholars who understand the world by reading books and miracles.
Not far from the temple, a stone sculpture was placed by the little people.
This stone sculpture is marked: [Water Country].
Lu Yao double-clicked the stone statue to get a clear picture of it.
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 piece, which looks like a few nuts on a chocolate chip.
There is also a sentence engraved on the model.
"Water is the source of all things, and all things return to water"
Yaocheng made the earliest school seminary, scholars, and world models.
Lu Yao couldn't help but be curious.
What is the situation of Yancheng, Yaocheng's competitor?
He switched the perspective and came to the sky above Yancheng behind the mountains in the west.
As soon as he moved over, a series of reminders popped up on the simulator.
[Medicine Spoon invented the oil lamp. ]
[Yancheng invented lighthouse science. ]
[Yancheng built the first lighthouse. ]
[The prototype of a usable wonder was discovered: lighthouse. ]
...
-Great God, a believer has done a feat far beyond his peers. Do you need to convert her into a hero?
Lu Yao first clicked on the temple.
There is a girl kneeling on the ground in the hall, praying to the statue with her hands folded.
The name above her head shows [Medicine Spoon], and she is 21 years old this year.
This is the first time that Lu Yao has transformed a female hero from a villain. The previous Hemi was a prophet.
In the portrait, Medicine Spoon is a young girl with a scorpion tail braid. She sits in front of a table, her chin resting on her folded hands, looking at an oil lamp on the table with a happy face.
There is also a sentence representing Medicine Spoon below.
——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 healing, with a certain probability of inventing new drugs or treatments.
Invention Lv1: The probability of inventing new things increases.
…
Lu Yao was overjoyed.
Initial three skills!
The girl with the scorpion-tail braid is a doctor by profession, but she is also an inventor.
She is an absolute genius.
The key is that she is a hero born naturally from the salt pond. This shows from the side 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 small notebook in his heart.
This is the key talent to focus on in the future.
Gradually calming down from the surprise, Lu Yao thought about creating wonders in these two cities.
At present, he has two wonders, one is the [Beer Colosseum] owned by Yaocheng, and the other is [Egil's Fire] in the northern forest.
Since it was confirmed that wonders would not force players to ascend to the Pantheon, Lu Yao's attitude towards wonders has changed.
Of course it would be good if there are, but it would not be forced if there are none.
Now that both cities have created the prototype of wonders, it means that they are developing well and have taken a step forward.
But there are not many beliefs now.
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 because of the unsealing of the snowman and the battle with the God of the Sea.
It is still a war period, and these faith reserves cannot be moved for the time being.
The wonders can only be put aside for now.
Lu Yao scratched his head.
He used to think he was very rich, but after the war, he became tight again. No matter how much faith he has, it is not enough to spend, and he has to accumulate more.
Fortunately, he now has 14 faith bonus props, and he has a fixed income of 672 points of faith every day.
Just wait another week and he can recover.
...
Lu Yao overlooked Yancheng.
A lighthouse was built on the northwest side of the city port.
Its appearance is not magnificent or exquisite, it is just a low watchtower built of stones. At night, firewood will be lit on the watchtower.
The Yancheng Lighthouse is more used as a landmark lighting to guide ships returning from the sea.
Next to the library in the center of the city, Mayor Yu Lian is giving a speech. Shang Li stood silently behind him, acting as a kind of think tank.
Commander Yan Geer led the Corruptor 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 commerce and trade and are committed to various new inventions. But this has always been condemned by Yaocheng."
"Prophet Hemila has repeatedly asked me to change Yancheng, give up current business operations, replace libraries with seminaries, replace fighting beasts with prayer, and expel the so-called 'fallen ones'."
"She believes that Yaocheng represents the will of the gods, and Yancheng must follow their footsteps."
"However, God never gave such guidance or recognition."
"Citizens, are you willing to accept Yaocheng's leadership?"
The citizens of Yancheng erupted in strong opposition.
"What a joke! If everything is like Yaocheng, who will raise cattle, sheep and pigs, and where do their wood and salt come from? They are not all produced by our Yancheng!"
"It's jealousy. They are jealous that Yancheng is getting richer and richer."
"You're right! Yaocheng was jealous. After Master Shaman Senjian passed away, people there kept migrating here because Yancheng has a better life and cheaper goods."
“Yancheng is the best!”
…
"Please be quiet, be quiet."
Yulian continued: "The prophet believes that Yaocheng's method is the right one. But I don't think so. The population of Yancheng is constantly growing, and people are constantly moving from Yaocheng to Yancheng to join us!"
"This is everyone's most authentic choice, proving that Yancheng has better conditions, more tolerance and pragmatism than Yaocheng!"
"Without the blessing of God Yao, Yancheng would not be where it is today."
"Since we are facing challenges, let us prove that Yancheng is God's choice and favor, and it is also the choice of everyone!"
"We will be like a lighthouse on the seashore, lighting the way for everyone to come and go!"
"We are the lighthouse!"
After the fishing company finished speaking, the citizens responded one after another, raising their arms and shouting.
"We are the lighthouse!"
"We are the lighthouse!"
…
Lu Yao opened a pack of original potato chips and ate the chips while watching.
not bad.
Competition between cities began.
Lu Yao is looking forward to this two-city battle.
I don’t know how the two cities can prove that they are the leaders of pixel humans.
