From star abyss

Out of caution and not wanting to let go of a suspected dummy, Li Aozi chose to go to the target location of the meeting one day in advance.

He was wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, a hat, and a scarf around his neck. He looked like a Red Arrow farm worker. In order to avoid being noticed, Li Ozi also specially put on makeup and painted his face. Inconspicuous appearance of a sallow middle-aged man.

When he drove the tractor to his destination, he was immediately surprised by the sea of ​​people around him.

"I didn't expect it to be here."

The white obelisk towering between heaven and earth is right in front of you. It is obviously the off-season for tourism, but it is full of tourists. The farms and houses of local residents have been transformed into B\u0026Bs and hotels.

Due to the large number of foreigners, Elga City had to transfer its own police officers so that tourists could visit and tour in an orderly manner under the supervision of the police. Although Li Ozi could switch to the main body at any time to view the data. , but it is far less shocking than direct observation.

Li Aozi parked the tractor and blended into the crowd. In addition to visiting the spots, this time he could also get up close and personal with the specific conditions of the road construction.

After half a year of construction, there are already some simple recreational facilities here, and an observation deck has been set up on a high hillside. The original farmland has also been pushed away, and a sunken structure has been dug out around the white obelisk. The square can accommodate up to 3,000 people, so it is not small in scale.

The height of the obelisk is not low and can be seen from a distance. In order to highlight its holy and miraculous atmosphere, the person in charge of the facility raised several cages of pigeons and released and retrieved them regularly.

The water conservancy facilities are also well constructed. The villagers bypassed the river to make it more beautiful. They also dug an artificial lake for tourists to rent boats for viewing.

But Li Ozi looked at it for a long time and found a problem.

He originally thought that most of the tourists who came here would be extraordinary people, or at least mortals who had the urgent desire to become extraordinary people. But after looking around, Li Ozi found that the most common people were families traveling with their children.

Li Ozi found an old photographer who had a family and asked curiously: "Hey, brother, what are you doing here?"

"That goes without saying. Aren't they all bringing their children here to bask in God's grace?"

The photography guy said, occasionally raising the SLR camera in his hand to take photos of his family as a souvenir.

"Are you talking about bringing the children here to awaken the arcana?" Li Ozi asked.

"Awakening the arcana? I haven't thought about it, but such an obvious miracle must have been deliberately arranged by God."

The photography guy said naturally:

"Arcana is secondary. People still want to believe that this is a blessing from the gods to the Red Arrow people. It symbolizes that we will overcome the suffering. The merciful Father God bless everyone. This white obelisk is the best place for His manifestation. evidence."

Li Ozi suddenly realized.

[Absurd, I forgot that Red Arrow is different from other countries. They are a religious country. 】

The main purpose of tourists coming to the White Obelisk is not only to admire the majestic scenery of the White Obelisk, but also because of the Red Arrow people’s worship and belief in the gods.

From the voices of these tourists, Li Ozi probably guessed why the white obelisk attracted so many people. I'm afraid even the Red Arrow official tacitly agrees that this obelisk is a gift from the gods.

Attributing all this to the religion that Red Arrow believes in will help improve national cohesion and self-confidence, and can also promote the development of local tourism. Why not?

There are many people who are willing to burn incense and worship Buddha for good luck and spend a lot of money. Not to mention that living near a white obelisk will actually increase the chance of becoming a [mutant].

Li Ozi was a little dissatisfied at first. This was equivalent to the naming rights and ownership rights being taken over by Red Arrow without saying a word.

However, when Li Ozi thought about it, this may not necessarily be a bad thing.

If the official takes the lead, the [Dominator] arcane user should have the opportunity to become a transcendent like the [Warrior]. However, in this way, the cost that Li Ozi invested in the early stage will be equivalent to giving it to part of the empire.

[You can’t use the fruits of my labor for free...]

Li Ozi was thinking mentally.

After wandering around, Li Ozi didn't find anything wrong. Maybe those players just gathered at a random location.

In the spirit of coming, Li Ozi personally walked to the white obelisk, raised his hand and touched it.

This thing is a permanent building, and the person in charge of the facility has no intention of blocking it. It’s just that everyone’s contact time is limited, and there is still a long queue behind it.

He felt it quietly, closed his eyes, took the opportunity to switch to the main body, and quickly operated, giving himself the authority of [Path Guardian], which allowed him to rent the arcana that the main body once possessed.

Although Li Ozi crushed those arcane powers, they still exist on the path. All the Azure Stars who take the path of [Mutants] will eventually be affected by Li Ozi and awaken the power that Li Ozi had. Arcana.

This is how the previous [Eye of Truth] came about, but it was too troublesome to switch back to the main body to operate the path system every time, so it was better to get it right in one step.

As the leader of the Blue Star Path, Li Ozi is temporarily unable to use those arcane powers, but his players are enjoying using them.

Taking this opportunity, Li Aozi got close to the road buildings and checked the recent road operation status. Now that he has the authority, he can still perform certain operations when encountering the buildings without switching back to the main body.

The good news is that the rental fee of [Eye of Truth] alone will bring Li Aozi at least 4 million experience points in revenue every month.

There are only a few scattered ones left. The relatively simple and easy-to-understand ones such as [Eternal Blood] and [Natural Fire] are easier to rent. [Gravity] can basically only be rented out four or five times a month, and its sales are extremely bleak.

But this does not mean that there are so few [Gravity] holders among players.

"We can prepare an official gameplay for early players."

[Mutants] are too random, and the road buildings can exert some influence on the roads of the [Dominator] system.

At present, the number of followers attracted by the white obelisk has reached 1567, which is quite a lot. After a slight upgrade, the white obelisk can now be the [Dominator] path followers of the Blue Star, and more will be added. Two acquired arcane powers are awakened.

This is a good ability. Not all players have power pods in the early stage, and not everyone is as exaggerated as Li Ozi and can directly steal other arcane powers. Most players slowly awaken by taking drugs, mutating, and completing mission rewards. .

Now, if you join the [Mutants] under Li Ozi's command, you can get two arcana powers as long as you upgrade to lv.5 and lv15.

In addition, Li Ozi slightly modified the attributes of the core arcana. He had to increase the overall number of people in the dominance system first.

For new players, you can choose one of two initial arcane powers: [Gravity] or [Eye of Truth]. For early players, [Gravity] is definitely not as useful as [Eye of Truth]. Most of them The player's initial charm can only exert one to two times gravity, which is average even for hard control.

But [Eye of Truth] can be used whether it is finding a way, exploring a maze, investigating a case, or fighting with someone. Most players will definitely choose this.

It doesn’t matter even if the player doesn’t choose [Gravity] at the beginning. Li Ozi’s place is very friendly to [Dominator] players. If you stay here for a while, you can awaken [Gravity] for free.

It is naturally impossible to have prostitution for free.

If you live here, you must have a place to live, right? There is a B\u0026B hotel here run by the farmer Uncle Hongjian, with affordable prices and exquisite houses.

Living alone is not enough, players also need to eat, and most of them are extraordinary people with amazing appetites, so they have to consume, right? There are local pastoral delicacies here to ensure your beauty.

After eating and drinking for a while, I found that I didn’t have enough money. If I need to spend money, I have to have a job, right? There are already more than 1,500 resident NPCs here. When Li Ozi releases another copy in the future, the player traffic will definitely explode.

"Strange, why does it feel like I'm not here to collect talents, but to help the poor?"

Li Ozi muttered.

He hasn't made much yet, but Elga City certainly has.

Afterwards, Li Ozi thought about it and chose two arcane powers that would be awakened the day after tomorrow for the players.

[The super gene sequence has been modified]

[[Dominator] system·Path followers will receive the following bonuses:]

A. When upgraded to lv.5, the arcane energy is awakened - [Physical Strengthening·Kappa]

B. When upgraded to lv.15, the arcane energy is awakened - [Natural Fire·Secret Kelong]

"That's almost it."

[Physical Strengthening] at the Kappa level is the most cost-effective, providing gains in [Strength] and HP, but there is no future for further development. It's just right for transition.

And [Natural Fire] is the beginning of a qualitative change for players. This arcana is full of destructive power and is very suitable for players to upgrade monsters.

Li Aozi took a look at the fund pool and saw that it was not bad. Thanks to the villagers' simplicity and respect for miracles, the current local corruption index was only 13 points, and the highest period was only 26 points.

This is equivalent to only 13 cases per 100,000 people that may be considered corrupt.

Companies and units are very down-to-earth and can be said to be fair and honest.

There are a total of 2.1 million galen in the capital pool. The combination of religion and supernatural power has brought considerable tourism benefits.

These funds were directly used by Li Aozi to build a large farmhouse-style complex.

A sub-building called the 'Altar' was also expanded, which will continue to increase immigration appeal for fifty years.

This is used to keep the foreign population as much as possible.

The person in charge of the construction quickly received instructions from the white obelisk and immediately began to plan and take action. The ultra-low corruption index gave Li Aozi an ultra-high speed of action. It only took 9 days in total to complete the construction. .

Just that the corruption index is too low is not perfect. Li Aozi noticed that to activate the [rapid development] state, the corruption index needs to be higher than 55 points for one year, which can provide a considerable development rate bonus. Li Aozhi has some points. Heartbeat.

Considering that the corruption index reduces happiness and reduces the number of births, Li Aozi gave up.

The number of people is too important to him. Even if he loses money, he has to increase the birth rate.

One generation takes 10 years. If nothing goes wrong, a version usually lasts for 20 to 40 years. In other words, before the Esha crisis broke out in version 2.5, Li Ozi had at least two and a half generations of [Dominator] reserve population.

And by then, the first generation of domination-type newborns will have become warriors of appropriate age.

When the players reach the Gamma level, Li Ozi can consider adding advanced arcana powers such as [Bloodline] and [Disaster].

The number of immigrants is still increasing, but the trend is very slow. Li Aozi made a trend chart. If things proceed normally, the population of Elga City, where the white obelisk is located, will grow to 4 million in 20 years.

At least 500,000 of them will live, or have lived, within the White Obelisk's sphere of influence.

500,000, warriors of the right age, extraordinary people.

Among them, 30,000 to 40,000 people will enter the Alpha stage, and there will be about 3,000 Beta stages. It is hard to say that there will be Gamma stages, and they may or may not appear at all.

This number is almost the same as the number of extraordinary beings owned by the Frost Plated Federation.

At this point, Li Ozi felt how unshakable those narrative-level civilizations were.

Just an obelisk can have such a powerful impact.

Narrative-level civilization, on average, has at least 6 paths for each narrative level, and the number of people affected is often calculated at the galaxy level.

But no matter what, Li Ozi has finally stepped into the same field as them, and Blue Star will also have the potential to become a narrative.

"Give me 20 years, and I will give Azure Star a prosperous and powerful dominance system!"
