King from scratch

After more than a billion players went offline, the mainland returned to its original calm.

In the kingdom with the largest number of players, thousands of infrastructure cities suddenly shut down, and only kingdom knights scattered in these infrastructure cities in twos and threes, maintaining basic operations.

Compared with the size of the kingdom's territory, the number of the kingdom's citizens is too small, so that after the players go offline collectively, these areas become more and more empty.

But that's not the point. Right now, all the races on the continent are focusing on the endless meetings.

The ruins that were open to the creatures of the entire continent suddenly became the center of the continent, and one cooperation after another was established here.

The Undersea Kingdom has established in-depth cooperation with the mainland, including all aspects of cooperation such as racial assistance, business contacts, technology sharing, and basic education systems.

The human kingdom reached a peaceful split agreement on the negotiating table, and dozens of human kingdoms appeared on the Neiva Plain overnight. Of course, the Diman Empire is still the one with the most extensive territory and the most powerful.

Compared with the Diman Empire, the other dozens of human kingdoms are like leftovers that have been cut off, aggrieved and shrunk to the corner of the Neva Plain.

But at least, the new order guaranteed their independence, saved them from the shadow of the Diman Empire, and gave them a chance to recuperate and strengthen themselves.

All human kingdoms have reached a strategic agreement for in-depth cooperation. Because of the "peaceful division", the shackles given by the Diman Empire cannot be easily broken, and the Diman Empire still holds the reins.

A front led by the Diman Empire was announced the day after the "peaceful division".

It covers the entire Neiva Plain, forming a special human alliance with the theme of "deep cooperation, mutual help".

The Kingdom did not object to this, because at the same time, under the leadership of the Diman Empire, this newly established human organization reached an agreement on in-depth cooperation with the Kingdom, including opening borders, sharing ether research, sharing new discoveries of scientific exploration, and conducting official trade and other cooperation content.

As for Ai Zhijin?

It already had in-depth trade cooperation with all parties before the emergence of this "new order". In this "new order", Ai Zhijin paid more attention to the purely scientific research organization "Knowledge Palace" proposed by the king formation.

The Temple of Knowledge was originally composed of four great magicians, two dwarves, and an Aizhijin, with a non-staff member, Undead Embers.

It's not that the human kingdom doesn't want to get involved, but if you want to join the Palace of Knowledge, you must first pass the exam...

Wang Guo's explanation for this is that this is a purely scientific research organization, and joining this research organization requires a basic understanding of science and ether.

Who knows who came up with this wicked idea, the exam is divided into question and answer and practical operation, and finally the king will give a unified score.

Before this ingenious threshold, monks in the human kingdom were eliminated due to lack of research on ether.

The dwarf barely passed the practical operation part.

The mage who passed the assessment and Ai Zhijin, the former's understanding of ether is at the mentor level, while the latter's understanding of science makes it difficult not to doubt whether Ai Zhijin stole the knowledge of the Salfa Federation.

As for the non-staff Embers?

He was jointly recommended by dwarves and mages, saying that he has a unique level in the field of souls and undead, and he became a non-staff.

The current somewhat rudimentary organization will become the leading institution for establishing a scientific system and exploring world projections.

Of course, what they have to do right now is to classify and study the excavated wreckage in the Salfa Federation, so as to fill in the large amount of information that is missing in the outer areas of the Temple of Knowledge.

For players, this is an update where the game cannot be played for three days, and for this continent, this is nearly a month of busy communication and adjustments.

"How to Communicate Correctly with Players", "Detailed Explanation of Players' Racial Characteristics", "Ten Things You Shouldn't Do When Getting Along with Players", "Players-Friendly Creatures from Another World" and other books from the kingdom are sold all over the world. Mainland, became a bestseller that quickly swept across the continent.

These books introduce and analyze the player, a special visitor from another world, as a new race on the continent.

The different world is a special and contradictory world, backward and advanced coexist, ignorant and omniscient, weak and powerful, the new civilizations that are constantly bordering each other have exercised their ability to tolerate new things, and they easily accept the existence of players.

After nearly [-] years of recuperation in the Fifth Era, this world has entered a new era.

Never before has there been such a large-scale cooperation on this continent, as never has there been such a deep cooperation between dwarves and humans, druids and mages, sea creatures and land creatures.

The world order has changed from the law of the jungle to mutual assistance and common progress.

Of course, the intelligent creatures who have just stepped into the new order will not know that this is another cruel battlefield, and the big pie that has not yet been realized tempts them, making them unable to realize the essential changes in a short period of time.

The order of the jungle has changed, but it does not mean that the instinct of conquest and killing in intelligent creatures has disappeared.

It's just that the wider world has attracted their attention, so that they have lost interest in the competing interests in the corner of the pond.

People are eager to open the door of world projection and build a new world with continents as the core.To this end, they abandoned past hatred, tradition, and stubbornness, and embraced the "new order" dominated by the kingdom.

For a wider new world, for great power, and for... science.

"Nubida joined the research on mechanical life?" He Xingwen made a puzzled voice: "Why did Nubida join the research on mechanical life?"

Besides, no matter how you think about it, mages have no reason to allow demons to participate in research, unless they are studying demons...

Otherwise, let a demon join the research, for fear that the research team will not part ways halfway, and artificially introduce a very destructive shit-stirring stick?

He Xingwen was confused for a few days, and finally put aside the affairs in the kingdom—mainly communicating with the representatives of the human beings on Earth to implement the ridiculously long basic agreement—and once again acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and ran to the ruins.

The research initiated by the dwarves was originally in the kingdom. Later, because the Undead King could not enter the kingdom, and the participants of this research overlapped with the members of the Temple of Knowledge on a large scale. In order to fulfill the responsibilities of the members of the Temple of Knowledge, they ran to the ruins to study the wreckage. Therefore, the research site was also changed into ruins.

But the point is, why is Nubida, a notorious demon with negative racial prestige in the entire continent, allowed to join the research?

It is difficult for people to have a good association with anything involving demons—after all, the image of demons causing trouble and sowing discord is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The ruins of the Sarfa Federation have undergone tremendous changes again at the moment. The cooperation of various races has cleared a large area in the center of the ruins - in order to facilitate their previous negotiations, and now it has become a scientific research organization stationed in the ruins. Part of the huge garrison.

A large part of the area is used to store the various remains found in the ruins, while a small part is used for various researches, including the study of dwarven mechanical life, the study of the ether base station brought by the kingdom, and the temple of knowledge (Virtual library) activation and construction.

The last one is the current research focus. The intelligent creatures are working overtime trying to find a way to open the temple of knowledge to all races. Finally, they aimed at the only remaining and still operating ether matrix on the mainland.

These new things and new research made the Temple of Knowledge organization full of vitality at the beginning of its establishment, and it also made this area extremely busy.

There are even some buildings under construction here, and intelligent creatures of different races come and go, and no one has time to talk to He Xingwen.

He Xingwen wandered around this area for a long time, and finally found him first was the Undead Emperor...

White mist drifted out from somewhere, formed handwriting, and greeted He Xingwen.

【Are you lost?need any help? 】

He Xingwen stopped in his tracks, puzzled: "Are you still here?" Realizing that his wording was a bit inaccurate and could easily cause misunderstandings, he corrected: "What I mean is, I thought you had other things to be busy with."

After all, no matter what, the people in the Canyon of the Undead... No, there are quite a lot of intelligent creatures. Is it really okay for big bosses like the Undead Emperor to hang out all the time?

[What should I be busy with?If you mean the canyon of the dead.I slept for 1 years before, and when I woke up, the Canyon of the Undead still remained unchanged. 】

I don't know why, but He Xingwen always feels that he sees a bit of regret from these words...

May be an illusion.

"It's really enviable," He Xingwen sighed sincerely: "I'm almost overwhelmed by all kinds of things that follow after these big moves."

[It's really enviable, the undead never have so many things to deal with, and the places that accompany death are always not lively. 】

The white mist formed a thin line, fingerprinting the direction of He Xingwen.

He Tong didn't follow, because after He Xingwen ran away, everything was left to him...

Zhe can handle most of the kingdom's affairs, but there are some matters that do not belong to this world, and more important people must be present.

But since He Tong didn't follow, it doesn't mean he wasn't there.

His bond with He Xingwen is so strong that they are almost inseparable—literally inseparable.

He Xingwen followed the navigation, and casually asked a question that he had been curious about for a long time: "Since you are not busy, did you not participate in the previous discussions... Canyon of the Undead?"

When all races were crazy about the pie thrown by the devil, only the Canyon of the Undead remained indifferent. It neither participated in the discussion of the new order nor appeared in the follow-up cooperation. It was independent of the noise with an overly indifferent attitude. outside.

[What do you think the undead will be attracted to?strength?right?money? 】White Mist slowly outlines the words 【Or eternal life? 】

He Xingwen paused in his footsteps. Although the longevity species also has a long life, for the undead race, even the longevity species will perish.

For the race that has conquered death, this continent-wide carnival is nothing more than a noisy and lively scene, very interesting, and only very interesting.

He Xingwen became interested: "Are you not interested in world projection? Those possible worlds, the possible different races..."

【I am very interested, in fact, I am very interested in everything that happens on the mainland, even the idea of ​​that mechanical life is so interesting. 】

They had already arrived at their destination, and He Xingwen could hear the quarrel between the dwarf and the demon from a distance—not surprisingly, introducing the demon into the research team would inevitably lead to various "controversies".

He Xingwen's attention remained on the conversation: "But you don't intend to open the Canyon of the Dead?"

[If you mean players, I don’t mind Yuangunguns coming to play,] the text has a bit of happy mood swings [Actually, I like them very much, they are cute and lively, there is simply no better than them Race up. 】

player?Both cute and hilarious?

The aborigines who have been harassed by players may not agree with him.

But He Xingwen still grasped the important point: "Players can, but other races can't?"

[This is order, the tacit understanding that life and death should have. 】

Not far away, Nubida brought the topic to He Xingwen: "Your Majesty? Are you here to urge Adisseo's research progress?"

So everyone present turned their attention to He Xingwen who was standing at the door.

Only Embers' voice continued: "I also feel that the progress is a bit slow. When will we create a new race? Now we haven't even settled on what the mechanical body will look like, let alone a humanized module. , this word is a mouthful, so can't we just create a new life?"

Apparently, Embers was getting tired of the lack of progress during this period.

He is not a qualified researcher. In fact, He Xingwen is very surprised that the other party can survive until now.

It was as unexpected as he found out that the Undead Emperor was still here.

How free and patient is he to be able to waste time on a topic that is difficult to make progress in a short period of time and requires years or even decades or even hundreds of years of research to reach the end?

But now it seems that the Undead Emperor may be more empty and patient than He Xingwen expected... After all, to him, hundreds of years can only be regarded as an insignificant short time in a long life.

He Xingwen reminded the other party: "This is not a research that can be completed in a short period of time."

No matter how arrogant an intelligent creature is, it will not feel that a new race can be created in this extremely barren land where a complete scientific system has not yet been established in a few months.

"I'm not here to urge the progress of the research, I'm just a little confused..."

He Xingwen glanced at Nubida who was out of tune with the scene environment: "Why did you invite a demon to join your research?"

Nubida touched his chin: "This sounds like a question..." He said aggrievedly: "They invited me, of course, because they need my help, for example, the devil's attainments in human nature."

Nubida spread his hands: "Creating a new life requires more than just letting him learn to think."

He Xingwen frowned. When there was no progress, they began to think about how to shape the personality characteristics of the mechanical life?

At least this problem will not arise until the middle and late stages of research.

He Xingwen looked at Nubida suspiciously, and felt that the problem was mostly caused by the other party. In fact, it should be said that the reason why the devil was able to join this research team must be the fault of the other party.

After all, no matter how you think about it, Adisseo has no reason to actively invite demons to join when the project is not progressing.

He Xingwen thought for a while, without getting to the bottom of it, and warned the other party: "I think this research is very interesting." So don't toss too much.

Nubida tilted his head: "His Majesty the King is also interested in creating a new race?"

"That's the final result. The research process before reaching the final result is enough to advance intelligent creatures' understanding of the fields of ether, forging, life, soul, and even human nature."

He Xingwen: "How do you think the science of the Salfa Federation was established?"

"From defining ether to analyzing ether to creating ether, each unattainable goal promotes people's understanding of ether."

"I hope you can have this spirit of never-ending exploration and pursuit."

After "sublimating" the spirit of scientific research with an official cliché, and fooling the dwarves and mages with extremely low EQ, He Xingwen had a short conversation with Nubida in private, and gave the other party a real warning.

"You can keep an eye on their progress, but don't disband the research team."

"This is a very dangerous subject. You handed Pandora's Box to them. Who knows what they will release in the end?"

"So you're going to be held back by that assumption?"

"No, I usually kill it before the problem arises." Nubida said frankly: "King, the mainland needs a supervision and management mechanism to ensure that these terrible research topics will not start a new doomsday and... "

He glanced at He Xingwen: "Make sure that the new order will not collapse because of the ideas of some individuals."

He Xingwen: "The thoughts of some individuals... It sounds like you are questioning me?"

"The devil doesn't trust everyone," Nubida did not deny, "including myself."

"But this proposal is very good," He Xingwen: "Why not do it?"

Nubida why Xingwen reacted too directly and was momentarily stunned: "Do you do this?"

"Establish an effective supervision mechanism," He Xingwen repeated: "I think you are very suitable for this."

"After all, demons have been doing this for years."

Establishing a monitoring mechanism for scientific research projects and even a new order is not an easy task, because its appearance itself means suspicion and distrust, and this can always lead to more other factors.

Therefore, He Xingwen handed over this matter to the devil and the omnipotent tool man Zhe, and asked them to discuss how to establish effective restrictions without arousing redundant thoughts of other races in the mainland, and ensure that the restrictions themselves will not become another. An uneasy factor.

This is the advanced knowledge of how to ensure balance within a huge political body, but one thing that makes the other world better than the earth is that most of the races in the different world live for a long time—especially demons.

Demons are terrible, but they are the race that needs to worry about corruption the least.

Corrupt a demon?It sounds like you're fighting the devil for a job.

This little episode didn't disturb He Xingwen's communication with the Undead Emperor.

"I don't think it's a good idea, although I can understand that the chubby ones are cute," Embers slipped away from the study group to join the conversation: "But they're a little too enthusiastic..."

Speaking of this, Embers glanced at the white mist, seemed to think of something, and changed his subject: "But for you, it should be better if they are overly enthusiastic. After all, you are an old guy who likes to be lively."

[Embers, you are not polite at all. 】

"Really?" Embers didn't take his words to heart at all, and shifted the topic to He Xingwen in a perfunctory sentence: "So, how far should we open up? Let this old guy..."

[Embers? 】

"Okay, okay," Embers changed his words, "Give my dear father a showpiece for the chubby guys? I don't think they'd be interested in a piece of white mist."

He Xingwen interrupted the conversation: "If you need help from players, that would be the best, after all, they like to help others very much."

[Is there anything we need Yuan Gun Gun to help with? 】

"Why not? Dear father, let them chat with you," Embers counted his fingers and said, "They can also play games with you, tell you stories, and help you clean up those collections... what they can do It's too much."

Speaking of this, Embers came up with a good idea: "In this case, why don't we go to the Canyon of the Undead? I believe you can come up with some good ideas - how to make Yuan Gungun and the undead get what they need, so that everyone is happy. "

【Enbers, you want to come back so soon? 】

"I'm afraid he just wants to escape from the research team," He Xingwen told the truth: "Are you bored?"

"It's so boring," Embers gushed. "Can you believe it? They let me summon a skeleton every day, and then ask stupid questions to the skeleton, and try to find out what the soulfire is made of.

Lord of the Undead, how boring this is.What I originally thought of 'creating a new race' is not like this, at least... at least he's going to toss something out, and that's the end result? "

"Although this topic sounds exciting, you must accept the reality," He Xingwen comforted the other party: "To reach the exciting part of the research, you have to endure the boring at the beginning."

"It's not suitable for me," Embers said, "I've been sleeping for so many years, and I finally woke up once. Is it just to experience the feeling of sleeping in another place?"

"Let my dear father be their tool man. Anyway, he can run multiple lines, so I won't play with them." Embers glanced at the buildings behind him and said impatiently: "Let's set off to the Canyon of the Dead Bar!"

He Xingwen looked at Bai Wu.

[He's always like this, stupid and impatient,] The Undead Emperor doesn't seem to be surprised by the other party's choice at all [I'm waiting for you in the Canyon of the Undead. 】
