Chapter 1298 - Chapter 1298 Chapter 1298 Concept

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: Concept Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: Concept Li Yao showed Nicholas the Star Bow, and Nicholas’s face was a mask of astonishment, “Such a powerful weapon could probably rival the ancestral instruments worshipped by a dozen families.”

Li Yao was taken aback and said, “You aren’t seeing things, are you? This is one third of a Divine Artifact that shattered, only then becoming legendary, but it has already transcended the realm of legends. If it possessed Divine Power attributes, calling it a Demigod Artifact would not be an exaggeration.”

Nicholas hurriedly explained, “Your Majesty may not know, but in our ancient rumors, the original ancestor had a father, who was said to be the source of our bloodline. It’s just that this tale is too ancient, the only thing left is the relic of that ancestor, the Mask of Cain. Although we don’t know the specifics, any member of the Blood Race feels an overwhelming bloodline suppression upon seeing it. The ultimate goal for countless kin is to grow stronger because any Blood Race member has the right to inherit the Mask of Cain. Moreover, legend has it that once someone inherits the mask, they could sit on equal footing with the Blood Race Emperor and the Ancestor.”

Li Yao suddenly realized and finally recalled such a thing in the depths of his mind. He remembered that in his previous life, the Mask of Cain had caused a great disturbance, leading to a war of tens of millions of people, ending in the deaths of millions of players, and reportedly, later on, a woman player with incredible luck obtained it. But after that, no one could find this female player again, and rumors suggested that the mask could truly change everything, including profession, Race, and data.

You see, Li Yao’s Titan Equipment, although heaven-defying, and transforming one’s race and appearance, did not change the essence. To a sufficiently powerful individual, they could still notice; overall, it was a notch below.

“It seems you are very eager to obtain that thing; don’t worry, once we are strong enough, we’ll snatch it. But now is not the time,” Li Yao said.

“Your Majesty possesses the Ancestor’s Blood and has an even purer bloodline. If anyone were to obtain it, naturally, it should be Your Majesty. I would be more than satisfied just to evolve my bloodline by following you,” Nicholas spoke earnestly, knowing that the Ancestor’s Blood was causing her life’s essence to continually evolve, her bloodline even beginning to return to its origin. Coupled with Li Yao’s trust, she was thoroughly devoted.

Li Yao waved his hand dismissively, “Let’s talk about those things later. Let’s get to the important matters. You can imagine the allure of this bow. I’ve set a trap using the bow, deliberately creating momentum. Now countless people want this bow, and the excitement has reached a boiling point. This is popularity, and it can be exploited. My other territory, the New District, is complete. Initially, I wanted to build a reputation following this matter, but since there were also problems here, it’s an opportunity to solve them all at once.”

“Forgive my ignorance, but I really don’t understand how we can exploit those seeking to seize Your Majesty’s divine bow. To me, this will push Your Majesty into the limelight, and I also don’t know how to make use of such a massive population,” Nicholas admitted her lack of understanding of Li Yao’s means to create momentum but was wholly convinced of the situation Li Yao described, albeit with some confusion still present.

“Today, I will release news that I will be touring my territories calmly, and at the same time, images of the territories will be broadcasted. Tell me, what do you think the human traffic here will be like at that time? Let’s not even talk about competing for the Divine Bow–a large crowd will come just to watch the excitement. My other territory, the New District, is a new entertainment zone, mainly hosting two projects, mechanical races and the Blood-and-Iron Coliseum,”

Li Yao picked up a cup of wine and took a sip before continuing, “We can also take advantage of the time to transform the drill grounds in Undead City and Gryphon Castle into Gladiator Arenas, one with beastly combats and the other with battles of intelligent creatures. As for mechanical racing, the construction is complicated, and it’s a bit late to start making those now. However, we could turn them into chariot races. Chariots drawn by four horses with two wheels, with the people managing the chariots on top, competing in speed, turning, and even colliding–the intensity will undoubtedly make it more appealing than racing cars.”

Nicholas pondered for a moment before speaking, “Your Majesty makes sense. Chariot racing is already traditional, with established rules and all that, and the city’s craftsmen have not yet dispersed. It’s also simple to remodel two arenas. But they come to find Your Majesty and seize the Divine Bow; even those who are just spectators might not be in the mood for these games, right?”

Li Yao smiled, “That’s why you need to grasp their mindset. These people want the Divine Bow, true, but that doesn’t mean that other things can’t move them. With thrilling and exciting gameplay, it won’t hurt them to have some fun while searching for me. And as long as the effects are good, the momentum I create will be the best advertisement. Those who want to join in will learn about the fun stuff we have here and naturally come to play. What they want is one of a few things–money, equipment, followers, and Legions. We will fulfill their desires.”

Nicholas’s eyes lit up, “Capturing those from the underworld races fits perfectly; although their numbers are not great enough to form a large regiment, there are Earth Dragons, Fallen Elves, and some slightly talented Underworld people. But, we have a substantial native population here, we don’t need them for low-level tasks, and using them as slaves would be a waste. We have antagonized the surrounding areas; it would be tasteless not to use these resources, but too precious to discard. If Your Majesty’s idea can indeed be realized, we could certainly turn waste into treasure.”

Li Yao nodded, “You don’t know how much others long for followers and intelligent beings with special talents. Just set up more apparent honours, like daily champions, weekly champions, monthly champions, and stack up the rewards. Ordinary victory rewards can be modest, but these significant honours need to be substantial. We must boost the champion’s prize money and then set up some special rewards. For example, the weekly champion could be rewarded with a pair of beautiful fallen elf maids or female guards. Whatever attracts attention, that’s what we’ll offer. For those seeking intelligent creatures, we’ll award them intelligent beings. If they want a Legion, it’s easy–we’ll announce in advance that the monthly champion can receive a certain number of a particular Legion. This way, there won’t be a lack of participants.”

The light in Nicholas’s eyes shone ever brighter, “These projects themselves possess considerable attraction. If they are indeed operated in such a way, they will certainly draw a large number of participants. The various expenses of the incoming population, the spectators in the arena, all will become a terrifying money-magnet.”

Li Yao nodded, “In a couple of days, the governor from another territory will send over a detailed process and plan. Learn from it, but don’t stick rigidly to those processes and plans. Decide based on the situation here, and don’t replicate them blindly. Plus, with this area having been explored by several factions, and trade routes opening widely, it’s no longer as difficult to come here as it was before.”

Nicholas stood up and bowed deeply, “I shall not fail Your Majesty’s expectations.”

Li Yao nodded, then discussed some details and asked Nicholas to accompany him on a tour of the three cities. That evening, they went to Griffon Mountain to pick up Xiaoman and joined the Gryphon King for a short meeting. Before they knew it, the day was over. Li Yao used the Hearthstone that he hadn’t used in a long time and silently arrived at the Earl’s estate…
