King from scratch

He Xingwen was not in a hurry to make a choice, but instead asked the system: "Lost civilization?"

"In the long course of history, some civilizations have been wiped out for various reasons," the system: "They have their own civilization, race, and mode of reproduction..."

He Xingwen stared at the word "recruitment" for a few seconds, and found the key point: "What is the difference between recruiting a lost civilization and recruiting people?"

"One is an employer, and the other is..." The system paused for a second: "Your people."

"So, the lost civilization will not become my people?"

"It has a civilization that belongs to them. Even if the civilization falls and no one remembers it, no race will abandon the civilization it was born in. That is a kind of betrayal."

"You started the process of racial diversification." The system explained unhurriedly: "The recovery of civilization needs a place to live, and your kingdom is one of the options."

He said at the end: "But you always have the right to refuse."

But I have no reason to refuse.

He Xingwen chose to recruit.

The golden light flowed, and the information integration was broken again. In an instant, countless existences flowed past and finally stopped.

"Please make sacrifices to recruit lost civilizations.

Different civilizations have different preferences for sacrifices, please choose carefully. "

He Xingwen came up with the thought that it was true: "I was not surprised at all, and there was an accident."

"Maybe you can go to the warehouse and have a look?" The system said thoughtfully, "As far as I know, there are many things your people found in the desert..."

He Xingwen pulled a strand of hair from his head and threw it into the golden light. Hearing this, he paused for two seconds: "What did you say?"

Seeing the golden light engulfing that strand of hair, the system changed its mouth very naturally: "This is a very decisive and wise choice."

It just exceeded the system's predictions once again.

But the system has grown accustomed to the unforeseen.

In his eyes, the world has no secrets, and all the ongoing stories are presented in the database. He knows people's past, and can glimpse people's future—by means of data analysis and modeling.

This is a huge calculation program, but in the system database, this program only accounts for 2% of the memory, and more than half of the memory is running another huge program, supporting the entire game.

This calculation program can only make mistakes on He Xingwen. He deviated from his past and made choices that he would not have made.

Humans are a complex research proposition, but with systems everything can be boiled down to the simplest elements.

The past that the individual has experienced, their personality traits, and the potential factors of each of their choices, only need to get these three pieces of information, it is enough for him to outline the future that belongs to the individual - except for He Xingwen.

After a brief pause, a certain existence emerged from the golden light.

He Xingwen stared at the existence slowly revealing his true face for a few seconds, and discussed with the system: "Can I return the product?"

"Don't you like them?"

This is not a question of liking it or not, but as a king, He Xingwen feels that he has an obligation to consider the physical and mental health of his people.

The creatures that emerge from the golden light, as the system said before, "have their own civilization, race, and mode of reproduction." Simply put, they are not humanoid creatures at all.

A mottled halo, flowing with colorful colors, at first glance looks like an abstract painting with overturned paint.

No facial features, no human form, beyond cognition.

Since the system chose not to talk about it, it is obviously not feasible to return the goods. He Xingwen continued to ask: "I didn't see the number of recruits."

"Its number depends on how many people of the civilization can recover from the abyss."

The golden light returned to calm, the information was born and disappeared, and was finally read by He Xingwen.

"Race settings are being generated."

He Xingwen confirmed another point with the system: "Before offering sacrifices, it reminded me to choose carefully."

"I thought you would realize this before making a choice." The system said: "Of course, this is not an accusation, your choice is extremely correct."

"It's just that there are not many opportunities to choose a lost civilization. In a short period of time, you should not have a second chance to choose a lost civilization."

In other words, the lost civilization recruited by He Xingwen this time will become the only employe in the kingdom for a long time.

"Obviously, the game lacks enough guidance. I think players should be informed of this part of the information before they make a choice."

"Since the game has not been completely perfected, I think this can be forgiven." The system's answer is still flawless: "In the future, the game can learn this lesson."

The system paused for a few seconds: "Although I don't think players may need it."

"Obviously they don't face the option of recruiting lost civilizations."

It is the king's right to choose a lost civilization, and as a summoned subject, the player does not need to consider these.

The information in Jin Guangzhong has been updated and completely presented in front of He Xingwen.

"Race setting 1: They have immortality.

Racial setting 2: They gain power from believing in the king.

Racial setting 3: They are fanatics with abnormal thinking.

Additional setting: they cannot reproduce. "

He Xingwen confirmed that he understood the literal meaning of the information, but from a certain angle, he felt that he could not understand it at all: "Is this a lost civilization?"

"You made an incomparably correct choice." A smile spread in the system's tone, and it seemed a little gentle at this moment of incomparable silence.

"What kind of race do you think will be attracted by your sacrifice?"

"Or, what do you think that hair represents?"

System: "Objectively speaking, it is a human fiber, but in the concept of 'sacrifice', it only represents one existence, and that is you."

"The lost civilization attracted by you is a group of fanatics. It is a very normal development. Their belief disappeared with the loss of civilization, and now, you have given them a new belief."

At this point, the contents of the kingdom update are all completed, the door of the church is slowly closed, and the golden light converges behind the door until it disappears completely.

Thus, the silent kingdom came to life, and the distant wind blew across the land, bringing the roar of predators in the forest.

The NPC walked out of the house, staring at the brand new city in surprise.

Adisseo King blended in unobtrusively among them.

He was more surprised than them, and he noticed the abnormality outside the church before them, so that he captured the last scene of the group of beings appearing in front of people.

The color of the halo faded until it completely merged into the air and could not be distinguished.

Adisseo Jin watched this scene, his eyes fell on He Xingwen from the empty void.

This magical king, staring into nothingness, conversed intently with non-existent creatures.

Adisseo King was distracted for a few seconds at this point, but soon his attention was drawn to something else entirely.

"Where's my workshop?"

Where did my semi-automated workshop go?

"Crazy believer with abnormal thinking?" Seeing the halo disappear from sight, He Xingwen said, "It doesn't sound like he can communicate normally?"

System: "I think your judgment is correct."

He Xingwen began to feel confused: "Then why should I hire a group of races that cannot communicate?"

"It's up to you." The system said with a stern look: "They are hired and follow your orders."

"Or, why don't you try to communicate with them yourself?"

At first, there were some slight electric sensations running through the body, and then turned into meaningless ravings, and finally, everything stabilized.

Countless shrunken light spots floated in the chaotic nothingness, shrinking unceasingly.

Chaotic and inflated halos are everywhere, and the buildings in sight are replaced by them, as if falling into another different dimension, and as if starting a new game.

With the chaotic nothingness as the base map and the halos of countless colors and shapes as the landscape, it outlines the chaotic dimension that loses space and time cognition.

He Xingwen subconsciously took a deep breath.

The strange image quickly blurred, and the peaceful world reappeared, and the scene disappeared like a glimpse.

There was a human surprise in the system's tone: "You are always surpassing my understanding of you, and you broke free from the demiplane with your own ability."

Before He Xingwen could ask a question, the system explained: "The demiplane is the gap between the worlds. It reflects the front of the world, but does not belong to the back of the world. It is a..." The system thought for a few seconds and said: " Excessive middle ground."

"And the halos you see come from the projection of the front of the world." The system continued: "That is, the realization of the ether in the living body."

The electric shock struck again, and the world in front of He Xingwen changed again.

Halos of different colors and shapes floated in the void, and the nearest ones were close at hand, and they approached.

The halos overlapped, and the chaotic babble was deafening for an instant.

"The great master, the great master, the great master..."

"Faith, Fall, Death..."

"what--"

"Come into my arms..."

"Eternal life..."

The reason why He Xingwen was not shocked by these repeated voices in an instant was that he was insane. The reason was very simple - above his kingdom, he ruled over everything.

So these sounds have only one characteristic left: deafening.

"Quiet."

The deafening voice turned back into raving again.

He Xingwen fully understands the unquestionable nature of the rules. Since the rules describe this race as "they are fanatics with abnormal thinking", it is impossible for them to have the ability to communicate normally.

This is a bunch of lunatics.

So, why after the game is updated, there will be game content for recruiting lost civilizations?

While thinking about the answer, He Xingwen opened his mouth. Since they couldn't communicate, the content of the words was very simple.

"I don't care what you think, but since you are hired by me, in my kingdom, I ask you to remain calm."

The raving still echoed in my ears, endlessly.

No one responded to this.

He Xingwen continued: "I forbid any unreasonable killings in the kingdom." He seriously warned the group of lunatics who couldn't communicate: "You don't want to know the consequences."

The system waited for He Xingwen to exit the demiplane before speaking again: "Actually, you can issue more orders. They are your employees, your followers, and they will obey all your orders unconditionally."

On the front of the world, there is no trace of those halos.

"I mean, they didn't show up for nothing, and I'm sure you know that, so why not ask a little more?"

He Xingwen asked back: "So, why did they appear?"

"Racial diversity means that the appearance of dwarves is just the beginning." System: "The kingdom needs a stronger power to ensure that your game experience is good enough."

"A lost civilization for hire, perfect for dealing with the supernatural forces encountered in the kingdom's early days."
