Chapter 832 The Rise of the Literary Hero
Malan Port.
Fang Yuan was like a ghost, watching a carriage pass through his body.
Around, several small fish stalls exuded a strong smell, and all kinds of voices gathered with pedestrians, forming a scene of a busy market in the morning.
Although he can only walk the world in the form of a ghost, he is very satisfied.
At least, compared to the previous form of absolute observer, it is a huge improvement.
"Well, on the whole, this place is quite similar to the European Age of Discovery in the previous life, but it is fundamentally different!"
Fang Yuan strolled away and arrived at the heavily guarded Royal Pier.
There, the ferocious giant ships are like giant beasts crouching quietly, giving people a dangerous and terrifying feeling.
In particular, among them, there are several 'Big Macs' covered in iron armor, with an astonishing displacement, and a terrifying number of gun barrels on the hull!
"Ironclad?"
Fang Yuan could imagine that when such a monster went to the sea, an ordinary armed pirate ship would be smashed to pieces.
Even, even the octopus and sea monster of that day may not be able to win the opponent.
However, the shape of this ironclad ship is a bit strange. It not only has sails, but also has a tall chimney, which is impressively steam-sail hybrid power.
"Industrial Revolution!"
Fang Yuan patrolled the warship back and forth as if he had entered the land of no one, and couldn't help but sighed.
Even if the Royal Fleet was heavily guarded, and even with extraordinary people sitting in command, they couldn't find any trace of him at all.
Especially when he saw the relatively primitive, bulky and cumbersome machine, Fang Yuan smiled immediately, with a kind of intimacy as if he saw an acquaintance.
"Actually, the steam warships of this period may not necessarily be able to outperform those super five-masted ships...but this is a trend!"
The replacement of manpower by the power of machines is originally a kind of social progress.
No matter what, exploiting machines is better than exploiting people.
Moreover, the power of the steam engine can be replicated and entered into thousands of households. This is the most important point.
Otherwise, if it's just that bit of extraordinary power, what is it?
"If we talk about real battleships, the wooden ones are just cannon fodder, and the iron-clad ships are just for beginners. The ones that can really sail the golden sea routes and the oceans are the legendary magic ships!"
Magic ship!
As the name suggests, it is a ship powered by mysterious side power. The most famous one is the legend of the ghost ship.
Of course, due to problems such as enchanting, there are very few forces in the entire ocean that have mana ships, but each of them is an absolute dominant existence that dominates one side.
It can be said that the Octopus Pirates are nothing compared to such existences.
...
"Praise my lord, you are the master of dreams and weapons!"
"I would like to believe in you with a pious heart! Please allow me to chant your name!"
...
Soon, in Fang Yuan's ears, prayers came one after another.
In fact, it was precisely because of the gathering of these powers of faith that he broke through the limitations of the world a little bit, and transformed into a ghostly phantom in the main world.
With a thought at this moment, he went directly back to the vicinity of Donald's family.
After this incident, Donald has brought the mother and son to live in the city.
As far as the eye can see, it is a small two-story villa with a garden in front.
Voices of prayer came from the living room of the villa.
The butler is not surprised by this, and pays close attention to every guest, ready to meet their needs at any time.
"Okay...as long as you believe in our Lord devoutly, you will eventually get His response!"
Among the believers, Donald said with a stern look on his face.
He is a fanatic who absolutely believes in the existence of Fang Yuan, and actively persuades his wife and children to believe in the Lord of Dream Soldiers.
Because Donald knows very well, what a great and generous existence this is!
Those old rulers are naturally very powerful and have strange abilities, but in terms of generosity in such things, they are far inferior to the Lord of Dream Soldiers.
Relying on the pearls he got from the ocean, Donald bought a villa apartment, deposited all the remaining Galleons in the bank, and hired housekeepers and servants, and immediately lived a happy upper class life!
What is a gentleman?
In the eyes of port residents at this time, a person who can do nothing every day and live only on land rent and interest is a truly decent gentleman.
Although the atmosphere of pursuing wealth in the society is getting stronger, such a statement was still very popular at one time.
Insman used to be such a country that was ashamed of labor.
Not to mention, RBC's annual interest rate hits 10% at this point! For any deposit investor, it is gospel and heaven.
After walking down these few steps, Donald immediately completed the transformation.
Almost everyone I know knows that the unlucky navigator, through his own efforts, successfully stepped into the upper class and became a decent gentleman who didn't need to work.
They crazily envied and adored Donald, and became Donald's entourage.
It was with this good start that Donald was able to spread his beliefs smoothly.
At this time, Insman's atmosphere is still quite open. As long as some cults are not spread, the official attitude is still very enlightened.
What's more, at this time Donald has not started to preach officially, at best he has opened a regular salon to conduct some publicity.
Of course, if this situation develops well, in the end, it will be the embryonic form of worship.
"Everyone, I added some dim sum this time, please use some as you like!"
For the brothers and sisters who are already believers of the Lord of Dream Soldiers, Donald is very open-minded, letting the butler and the servants bring a lot of delicious cakes.
"Wow... this is a super pastry made of fine flour, and honey is added to it?"
"Such an intoxicating sweetness, really memorable!"
These ordinary citizens may not be able to have such a luxury once a year.
Donald's actions immediately brought him more praise and compliments.
He talked with the people around him with a smile, polite and respectful demeanor, which made every guest feel like a spring breeze.
But only Donald himself knew where his weakness was.
"The foundation is too weak...At this time, my assets have reached the threshold of the upper class, but I have not been accepted by the mainstream society at all...At this time, I am surrounded by a bunch of petty citizens!"
"Although such a person is a good target to develop my lord's faith, it is not good for the future development of the church... All of this can only be made up for by me. Could it be that... do I really need to spend money to buy a title? But for this kind of expenses, my obvious savings are definitely not enough at present, so do I need to discover another 'undersea treasure'? That's too eye-catching."
This kind of melancholy still existed after all the guests returned happily and Donald returned to the study alone.
"My lord...you are my guide, the light in the darkness, may you enlighten me..."
In the dead of night, Donald began to pray again.
"Donald, my representative, loyal servant!"
Fang Yuan thought for a while, and began to respond: "What troubles do you have?"
"The great Dream Soldier Master, I want to enter the upper class as soon as possible and create more favorable conditions for the spread of my Lord's belief."
Donald said without hesitation: "But at this moment... I have encountered a bottleneck. No matter how hard I try, those truly superior people still regard me as an upstart, a bumpkin from the countryside."
As an island nation, Insman has a closed tradition.
Even under the impact of the emerging economy and forces, those real high-ranking nobles still maintained a certain influence.
This kind of thing, unless it is a coincidence, there is no rush at all.
Fang Yuan knew that even if Donald spent all his money to buy a title from the king, the final result would be to continue to sit on the nouveau riche's title.
"It doesn't matter, my servant, I have seen your hard work, and I have prepared a stepping stone to the upper class for you!"
Fang Yuan directly transmitted the sound through his mind.
Regarding Donald's identity and development, he does have some plans.
Now it seems that the first thing to do is to make Donald famous!
Fame, sometimes is the best stepping stone.
And how to increase your reputation? Wealth and adventure are only the most elementary aspect, and it will even strengthen the impression of a nouveau riche.
In addition, it is to become a public figure, such as a famous actor, a writer, a scholar, and the like.
In Insman, the status of a drama actor is far inferior to that of a literary giant, so Fang Yuan chose a road of literary copying for Donald.
With Fang Yuan's experience and insights, he directly searched out some famous articles handed down from generation to generation, and then handed them over to Donald for a hit. There is really no problem at all.
Donald was originally a man of culture, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a navigator and keep a logbook.
Such a person, with a little packaging, disguised as a literary giant, and novel adventure stories, is still very popular in the upper class.
Otherwise, if you are just a lucky explorer, even if you go to those banquets, you are probably just a clown.
Moreover, Fang Yuan still has his own ambitions.
He wanted to use Donald's hand to play a big game.
It is best to completely change the process of this world. Only changes in the world line can induce more variables and gain more opportunities.
Therefore, the selected works should not be of a literary nature, but should be closer to the great works of economic sociology.
In this way, Donald's identity label has changed from a clown upstart to an economics mentor.
After all, Insman has not experienced the information explosion like Fang Yuan's previous life, and titles such as experts and mentors are still very valuable.
"My lord, your will is my mission. I don't know what kind of work you want me to complete?"
Donald asked firmly.
""Wealth of Nations"!"
