Chapter 96 We are the lighthouse

  Yaocheng’s results exceeded expectations.

 Lu Yao originally thought that this city should promote theology and astrology, and the next step would be advanced development such as occultism and alchemy. Eventually, the holy center of this pixel world became a place similar to Jerusalem.

Now he realized that he had been a little preconceived.

 Everything must take into account the background of the times and the general environment.

 Theology is indeed old and outdated in the age of science and technology.

  But in the period when the city was just established, theology was synonymous with advancement.

Lu Yao has played many historical strategy games, which are all described in these games. The early clergy, whether shamans, monks, priests, or Taoists, were often also physicians, astronomers, mathematicians, and philosophers.

 Now, Yaocheng has exerted its theological power.

This place is driven by belief in gods and has gathered a large group of scholars who understand the entire world through reading books and miracles.

Not far outside the temple, little people placed a stone sculpture.

This stone carving is marked: [The Kingdom of Water].

Lu Yao double-clicked the stone statue to get a clear and large picture of it.

The Kingdom of Water is a contemporary globe created by Yaocheng. Its structure is slightly crude: two continents and a series of small islands floating in a sea, and the sea is a long thin slice that looks like a few chocolate chips on top. nut.

There is also a sentence engraved on the model.

“Water is the source of all things, and all things ultimately return to water.”

 Yocheng developed the earliest schools, seminaries, scholars, and world models.

 Lu Yao couldn't help but be curious.

  What is the situation in Yancheng, a competitor of Yaocheng?

 He switched his perspective and came to the sky above Yancheng behind the mountains to the west.

 Once transferred, a series of reminders will pop up on the simulator.

  【Medicine spoon invented the oil lamp. 】

　　【Yancheng invented lighthouse science. 】

　　【The first lighthouse was built in Yancheng. 】

  【Discover the prototype of a usable wonder: the lighthouse. 】

 …

—A great god. One of his followers has performed feats far beyond those of his peers. Do you need to transform her into a hero?

 Lu Yao first clicked on the temple.

There was a girl kneeling on the ground in the temple, praying to the statue with her hands clasped together.

 The name on her head reads [Medicine Spoon], and she is 21 years old.

This is the first time Lu Yao has transformed into a heroine among villains. Previously, Hemila was a prophet.

 In the vertical painting, Medicine Spoon is a young girl with a scorpion tail. She sat at a table, her chin resting on her folded hands, and she looked happily at an oil lamp on the table.

 There is another sentence below that represents medicine spoon.

 —Man is an animal that has 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 understand various abilities.

 Medicine Level 1: Good at healing, with a certain probability of being able to invent new drugs or treatments.

 Invention Level 1: The probability of inventing new things increases.

 …

Lu Yao was happy.

 The initial three skills!

The girl with the scorpion tail is a doctor by profession, but she is also an inventor.

 Out-and-out genius.

 The key point 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 small group of people.

Lu Yao silently wrote down the name of the medicine spoon in a small notebook in his heart.

 This is the focus of talent in the future.

 Gradually recovering from the surprise, Lu Yao thought about creating spectacles in these two cities.

At present, he has two wonders under his control, one is Yao City's own [Ale Colosseum], and the other is [Aegir's Fire] in the northern forest.

Since it was confirmed that Wonders will not force players to ascend to the Pantheon, Lu Yao’s attitude towards Wonders has changed.

 It’s great if you have it, but don’t force it if you don’t have it.

 Now that both cities have developed prototypes of wonders, it shows that they are developing well and have taken a step forward.

 It’s just that 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 continuously lost due to the removal of the seal on the snowman and the battle with the God of Bones.



 The matter of spectacle can only be put aside for now.

Lu Yao scratched his head.

 I used to feel that I was very wealthy, but after a battle I became tight again. No matter how much faith you have, it is not enough to spend, you have to accumulate more.

 Fortunately, he now holds 14 faith bonus items and has a fixed income of 672 faith points every day.

 Just wait for another week and you will be able to recover.

 …

Lu Yao overlooks Yancheng.

 A lighthouse was built next to the city port in the northwest.

 Its appearance cannot be said to be grand or exquisite, it is just a low sentry tower made of stones. At night, firewood is lit on the watchtower.

 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 Yulian was delivering a speech. Shang Li stood silently behind him, acting like a think tank.

 Commander Yangel takes the Corruptors to maintain order among the surrounding crowds.

Yulian said: "Citizens, we are facing a severe challenge. This challenge comes from Yaocheng 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 Hamila has asked me many times that we must change Yancheng, give up current business operations, replace libraries with seminaries, replace fighting beasts with prayers, and expel the so-called ‘fallen ones’.”

“She believes that Yaocheng represents the will of the gods, and Yancheng must follow their footsteps.”

 “However, the gods 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.”

"That's right! Yaocheng was jealous. After Master Shaman Senjian passed away, people from 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 thinks Yaocheng's way is the right one. But I don't think so. Yancheng's population is growing, and people are constantly moving from Yaocheng to Yancheng to join us!"

“This is everyone’s most real choice, proving that Yancheng has better conditions, more tolerance and pragmatism than Yaocheng!”

“Without the blessing of God Yao, Yancheng would not have been able to get to 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 among cities has begun.

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 humanity.
