Path Management 141

Out of caution and not wanting to let go of a suspected Imitation Human, Li Aoz chose to go to the target location of Huihe 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 Aoz also put on makeup and painted his face to look like an inconspicuous sallow middle-aged man.

When he drove the tractor to his destination, Li Aoz 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&Bs and hotels.

Due to the large number of foreigners, Eerga 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 Aoz could switch to the main body at any time to view the data, it was far less shocking than direct observation.

Li Aoz parked the tractor and blended into the crowd. In addition to visiting the spot, this time he could also get up close and personal with Path Building.

After half a year of construction, there are 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 square has been dug out around White Obelisk, which can accommodate up to 3,000 people for viewing. The scale is not small.

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 Aoz 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 Aoz found that the most common people were families traveling with their children.

Li Aoz found a photography guy 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 Aoneng?" Li Aoz asked.

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

The photographer said of course, "Aoneng is secondary. People still want to believe that this is God's blessing to Red Arrow People, which symbolizes that we will overcome the suffering. The compassionate Father God blesses everyone. This White Obelisk is the best evidence of His appearance."

Li Aoz suddenly realized.

[Abrupt, 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 tone of these tourists, Li Aoz can probably guess why White Obelisk attracts so many people. I'm afraid even the official Red Arrow tacitly agrees that this obelisk is a gift from the gods.

Attributing all this to the religion 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 pray to Buddha for good luck and spend a lot of money. Not to mention that living near White Obelisk will actually increase the chance of becoming [Mutant].

Li Aoz was a little dissatisfied at first. Red Arrow This was equivalent to taking the naming rights and ownership rights over his head without saying a word.

However, Li Aoz second thought, this may not necessarily be a bad thing.

If the official takes the lead, Aoneng of the [Dominator] system should have the opportunity to become a transcendent like [Martial Artist]. However, in this way, the initial cost of Li Aoz will be equivalent to part of it being given to the empire in the end.

[If you want to use the fruits of my labor for free...]

Li Aoz is thinking mentally.

After walking around, Li Aoz didn't find anything wrong. Maybe those players were just gathering in a random location.

In the spirit of coming, Li Aoz personally walked up to 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 permission of [Path Guardian], which allowed him to rent the Aoneng that the main body once owned.

Although Li Aoz crushed those Aoneng, they are still on the road. All Azure Planet People who take the [Mutant] road will eventually be affected by Li Aoz and awaken the Aoneng that Li Aoz once owned.

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

Li Aoz, as the leader of the Azure Planet path, although the main body is temporarily unable to use those Aoneng, the players under his command are enjoying using them.

Taking this opportunity, Li Aoz got close contact with Path Building and checked the recent road operating conditions. Now that he has permission, he can perform certain operations when encountering buildings even without switching back to the main body.

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

The remaining ones are scattered, [Blood of Immortality], [Natural Ignition], which are relatively simple and easy to understand, 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."

[Mutant] is too random, and Path Building can exert some influence on the path of the [Domination] system.

At present, the number of followers White Obelisk has attracted has reached 1567, which is quite a lot. After a slight upgrade, White Obelisk can now be Azure Planet's [Master] followers on the path, and two more acquired Aoneng will be awakened.

This is a good ability. Not all players have Ability Pod in the early stage, and not everyone is as exaggerated as Li Aoz and can directly steal other Aoneng. Most players slowly awaken by taking drugs, mutating, and completing mission rewards.

Now, if you join [Mutant] under Li Aoz, as long as you upgrade to lv.5 and lv15, you can get two Aoneng respectively.

In addition, Li Aoz slightly modified the attributes of Core Aura. He had to increase the overall number of Overlord Class first.

For new players, you can choose one of the two initial Aoneng: [Gravity] or [Eye of Truth]. For early players, [Gravity] is definitely not as easy to use as [Eye of Truth]. Most players' initial charm can only apply one to two times of gravity, which is average 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 one.

It doesn't matter if the player doesn't choose [Gravity] at the beginning. Li Aoz 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 have to have a place to live, right? There is a B&B hotel opened by Red Arrow farmer uncle, 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 Aoz 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 Aoz muttered.

He hasn't made much yet, but Eerga City has definitely won a lot.

Afterwards, Li Aoz thought about it and chose two Aoneng who were awakened the day after tomorrow.

[Super Gene Sequence has been modified]

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

A. When upgrading to lv.5, awaken Aoneng——[Physical Enhancement · Kappa]

B. When upgraded to lv.15, awaken Aoneng——[Natural Ignition·Omikron]

"That's almost it."

Kappa-rank's [Physical Enhancement] is the most cost-effective, providing [strength] and health benefits, but there is no future for further development. It's just right for transition.

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

Li Aoz took a look at the fund pool and found 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 equates to only 13 corruption cases per 100,000 people.

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 Aoz to build a large-scale farmhouse-style complex.

A sub-building named 'Holy Altar' has also been expanded, which can continue to increase immigration attractiveness for fifty years.

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

The person in charge of the construction quickly received the instructions from White Obelisk and immediately began to plan and take action. The ultra-low corruption index gave Li Aoz 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 Aoz noticed that to activate the [Rapid Development] state, the corruption index needs to be higher than 55 points, which lasts for one year, and can provide a considerable development speed bonus. Li Aoz is a little excited.

Considering that the corruption index reduces happiness and reduces the number of births, Li Aoz 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, and if nothing unexpected happens in a version, it usually lasts for 20 to 40 years. In other words, before the crisis of version 2.5 Malefic Calamity breaks out, there will be at least two and a half generations of Li Aoz reserve population.

And by then, the first-generation Overlord Class newborn will have become a warrior of the right age.

When players advance to Gamma-rank, Li Aoz can consider adding [Bloodline] and [Disaster] to Aoneng.

The number of immigrants is still increasing, but the trend is very slow. Li Aoz has drawn up a trend chart. If it proceeds normally, the population of Eerga City, where 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 scope of influence of White Obelisk.

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

Among them, between 30,000 and 40,000 people will enter Alpha Rank. There will be about 3,000 Beta-rank and Gamma-rank. It's hard to say. They may or may not appear at all.

This number is almost the same as the number of extraordinary beings possessed by Frostplate Federation.

At this point, Li Aoz felt how unshakable those Narrative-level Civilization were.

Just an obelisk can have such a powerful impact.

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

But no matter what, Li Aoz has finally entered the same field as them, and Azure Planet will also have the potential to become a narrative.

"Give me 20 years, and I will give Azure Planet a prosperous and powerful Overlord Class!"
