Of course, everything Gao Gong had said above was complete nonsense.
Even if the Void Lord were given ten thousand more chances to choose, he would still choose the path of civilization rather than the path of the Pirate King.
The former was a grand and righteous path. No matter how powerful the latter became, it would still be nothing more than banditry.
So no matter how well Shrek could fight, he was merely a failed ascension experiment.
That "canned thing," on the other hand, was a successful ascension experiment subject.
Gao Gong confirmed the time and place of his meeting with "Captain Death" before ending the call.
Before asking "Buddha Zhao Di" to return and hold down the fort, he still wanted to deal with the Orgrimmar people first.
To achieve "mass troop production" and "mass species production" on a civilizational scale, they needed not only a project manager like "Buddha Zhao Di," but also a whole group of "genius mechanical engineers."
These "engineers" needed to "grind progress," but they also needed to "grind blueprints."
Especially for a mechanical civilization, developing at light speed required tens of millions of mechanical blueprints.
Gao Gong could provide some of them, even most of them.
But someone still had to deal with the rest.
The blueprints produced by players were unstable. Besides, expecting them to use the experience they needed for leveling up and learning skills to farm faction blueprints was no different from expecting the sun to rise in the west.
They were still counting on the faction to provide blueprints for developing their mechanical city!
Or they could look at it from the opposite angle.
If the players truly managed to achieve "technological independence" and "blueprint self-sufficiency," Gao Gong would have to worry about whether he could keep his own
