Chapter 182: The Queen's Prestige Rises Against the Market
Similar scenes appear constantly throughout the multiverse.
Don't be deceived by the seemingly weak young person in front of you, who suddenly acquires the ability to turn the tables in dire situations.
As for why it's not an uncle or an aunt, let's just say that a certain queen is a sucker for good looks.
Roger had intended to dissuade her, but the Queen of Eternal night immediately painted him this picture:
After a long day, you habitually log on to the game to check your character's progress before bed, but the warehouse is packed with old ladies wrapped in floral cloth and potbellied men in plaid shirts, all clamoring for more materials...
Doesn't it sound like a mature streamer from the countryside, begging for donations?
Roger instantly agreed with the Queen of Eternal night's idea: If you want a strong system, you have to start with the kids.
Power is a matter of versions, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime!
Under the guidance of Jialilei, the Tianhai Tower quickly established an oversized God-hating scanner that incessantly scanned various planes, searching for individuals who harbored great hatred towards the Gods.
Regardless of race, as long as the soul is pure and not actively evil, and meets certain criteria in willpower and talent, Afu will actively establish a connection with them.
Afterwards, the system will activate and provide a method for them to overcome their current dilemma.
With the backing of the Green Vines Empire and one hundred million believers, although Afu is just a weak newborn God, he can help those poor people struggling in the bottom mire, and the power he can bestow on them is enough to reverse the situation.
By the standards of this universe, these people favored by the Gods can be called electors.
Because of their proximity to divinity, they possess higher growth potential than ordinary people, and are more adept at mastering numerous specialties and comprehending skills.
Recently, with the players entering the national war phase through the virtual space, after being granted permission by Roger, Afu has dabbled in the God of Slaughter and added the "Experience" attribute to the panel of the System's Child.
From now on, the System's Children can gain experience by practicing skills, completing missions, and engaging in direct killing to upgrade attributes and skills and comprehend specialties.
Moreover, they are able to access more detailed career information.
This is not just game information in a virtual world, but rather, the Secret Magic Association has combined the experience of the Seven God Armies to perfect the occupational ranking system after discovering the insufficiency of the Ninth-level Magic System.
From the System's Children to their opponents, the System will provide a more detailed ranking for everyone.
Under the current system, level 1 to 5 are junior magicians, level 6 to 10 are intermediate magicians, and so on, with each 5 levels being a tier and a more detailed division being made.
Level 21 and above is the legend realm, and level 31 and above is called Senior Legend. By dividing them according to such standards, it is finally possible to have the most intuitive way of comparing the originally broad scope of the legend realm.
Not only magicians, but the Empire has also incorporated all career systems into new, detailed ranking systems, and they have also established a data management mode for their own attributes, skills, and so on.
This can also be considered an additional function of the soul-mimicking bracelet. After all, the flexible crystal-made screen is not just a waste of a watch.
Of course, for this new set of occupations, there are still problems with inadequate data and lack of references for judging high-level characters above level 30, and the Secret Magic Association needs to slowly improve their existing database to become more powerful and comprehensive.
For example, the Dark Night Queen, who based on this occupational ranking evaluation would be level 50 or above, is quite extraordinary. Lydia, who is in charge of the entire system, has designated the relevant information regarding the Dark Night Queen as top secret.
In order to avoid discouraging the confidence of other magicians in the Empire, since legends are commonly found, there are not many Senior Legends around...
Suddenly, a certain legendary figure was directly rated above level fifty, causing the entire world to become incompatible because of her.
The growth of the children of the system involves battling and traveling in different planes, which also provides data to expand the imperial database.
Know thy enemy, know thyself, and you shall not be defeated in a hundred battles. By watching these selected players from different worlds, the Empire has the opportunity to investigate their enemies.
With an increasingly data-focused perspective, various task and reward mechanisms guiding and leading, the reality in which the children of the system reside has slowly become a hellish difficulty level game with only one life to pass.
It is still extremely difficult, with thorns everywhere, but compared to a certain death outcome, there is at least a little more hope.
On their ever-active stage, they attempt to continue their miracles.
These souls that will be scanned by the empire, originally had stronger willpower than ordinary people.
As long as they don't die and remember their deep-seated hatred for the Seven Gods, with a little opportunity, they can create unlimited possibilities.
With the growth boost from the god of slaughter, and with the inheritance, resources, and equipment provided by the empire. As well as taking advantage of their intelligence superiority, they can access the fastest path to growth resources. Achieving personal success with ease.
As for how far they can go in the seven gods' career of confrontation after growing up, it depends on luck and on their own character.
Even Roger, the one who started the real system, once wanted to join the Seven Gods camp to achieve victory more easily...
He can only be grateful now that he didn't jump at that time. Judging from the arrangement of the Seven Gods for the Eternal Night World, it may be easy to enter their camp in the early stage, but after truly winning the battle, one cannot escape the fate of being buried with this world.
When there is no path, the Seven Gods will lead the way for free.
So from the beginning, Roger never really had a choice. All those were wonderful misunderstandings born from inadequate information. He was destined to walk with the main villain to the end.
"However, if everything I did in the Eternal Night World were revealed, would the players think that I am the hidden boss, the one they must kill after defeating the Eternal Night Queen?"
Roger couldn't help but fall into contemplation, realizing that his current position is quite delicate.
With the attitude of the Eternal Night Queen blatantly copying assignments, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the mastermind behind the turmoil of the empire, the one who hindered the Seven Gods actions.
Nevertheless, the System Son Program was successfully executed, planting these rebellious seeds into the multi-universe, which is a crucial step towards the empire's self-saving path.
In order to enable the Children of the System to go further, the Empire also needs to put in effort by providing them with sufficient firepower.
Isn't it embarrassing to not wholesale the artifacts for late-stage system missions?
The good news is that at this time, all aspects of the Empire's operation are running quite smoothly.
After a failed retaliation against the Terra Kingdom, the Empire's public opinion was chaotic for a while, and there was considerable backlash among the people. The initial calls for continued retaliation against Terra never ceased.
However, due to the strong suppression by the Eternal Night Empress, the realization of self-reflection was indeed carried out. At least on the surface, there is no longer any sound of continuing to fight.
As various aspects of propaganda caught up, "Empire Chronicles" was also officially incorporated by the government and became a media that must be scrutinized by the Empire's Propaganda Department. It has formulated more detailed regulations for disseminating information about fearless space and inciting the emotions of the Empire's people. Even promoting click-bait articles has become a job that must be handled with care.
Making money is fine, as long as it's done in a presentable manner that doesn't cause conflicts or negative emotions. We should promote positive energy as much as possible to ensure the stability and sustainable development of the Empire's users.
The Empire doesn't restrict media of an entertainment nature, but even with entertainment, there should be certain limitations.
Fearless space is fully controllable, and the age rating system has always existed. There is no need for adult Empire citizens to have holy light filling the entire screen when watching an animated show, or even removing critical plot points.
Roger remembered that he had clicked on a horror movie with supernatural themes on a certain website, and he was baffled throughout the entire movie.
The censors removed every scene that had ghosts in them!
If it's like this, it's better not to watch it at all. Refund my money!
However, because of this, even though the Empire had imposed strict censorship on its media outlets, there were clear guidelines to follow and adjustments could be made based on feedback from below, allowing the Empire's entertainment industry to create more freely.
Because the Empire was confident enough, it always had the intention to export its culture.
Of course, this export doesn't mean fooling its citizens.
After a failure and the reorganization of the media and entertainment industries, the Empress led the reflection process, finally pulling the people of the empire out of their previous fanatical state.
Consensus has been reached within the empire that war is not the only means of problem-solving, and the empire cannot be reduced to a bellicose state.
With the development of the times and their changing position, they should also use more means to resolve problems.
There are many options available to them, such as economy, diplomacy, culture, trade, and special operations.
Although war may be unavoidable, it should also be noted that as the times change, the forms of warfare should progress accordingly.
The old method of mass assault attacks using soldiers and mages are outdated. We must be cautious of our enemies and rapidly produce new equipment.
The empire has corresponding equipment to counteract portable anti-magic fields. As long as the pre-war reconnaissance is well prepared, the losses can be avoided.
Sadly, due to their arrogance, they didn't do what they should have. They regarded the enemy as easy prey, and had to bear the bitter consequences alone.
Even the orc can progress with the support of great powers and stolen technology, they won this battle through sheer perseverance.
The people of the empire believe that they will not lose if there is another war, but the answer from the higher-ups is "we can fight, but it is not necessary."
The retaliation against the Terra Kingdom will be carried out in the form of economic sanctions, and the empire will continue to recuperate until the overall military upgrade is complete. Afterward, they will consider completely liberating the Eternal night world.
If it were earlier, everyone would be accepting on the surface but truly disapproving.
However, after experiencing enough lessons, the Queen of Eternal Night's orders became more imposing, and everyone obediently returned to their positions.
This surprised the Empress greatly, as she didn't participate in the war, yet her prestige had increased even more.
The mindset of the people in the empire is actually quite simple.
When the Empress says we can win, as she leads the charge, we win!
When the Empress doesn't want to fight, and doesn't go, we lose.
Although the chance of either of these two events occurring is not 100%, reason would say that this is a false dichotomy. However, the human brain is not always reasonable, so everyone believes that the Empress is a necessary condition for victory.
As long as Your Majesty speaks of war, blind obedience is all that is required. It can't go wrong!
This is quite a ridiculous scene: the Queen of Eternal night, by not participating in the war, proved her greatness, that the empire cannot exist without her.
The powers, who were waiting to see the empire's jokes, were left with question marks in their heads when the intelligence agencies discovered this result.
You imperialists, do you need to involve yourselves in this manner?
Because we didn't use the most powerful weapon, the Eternal Night Empress, this defeat is insignificant. Next time, as long as the Empress orders us to fight, we will definitely win!
As long as you didn't try your best, it's not considered a loss?
This kind of thinking is ridiculous!
The major powers definitely hope that after this battle, the internal situation of the empire will be even more chaotic, and the prestige of the Eternal Night Empress will plummet. Internal conflicts will surface, and even previously expelled nobles will return to power, leading to an internal rift and division into fifty states, and so on...
As a result, the various levels of the Green Vines Empire are even more united, the prestige of the Eternal Night Empress has not declined but risen, and the overall degree of implementation of all orders is higher than before. The entire population and officials are more practical-minded.
Many kings couldn't help but think, if such an effect comes from losing, why don't we lose a battle too?
Winning a battle is difficult, but intentionally losing one is very simple, isn't it?
Unfortunately, no country has the courage to copy from the failure of the empire, afraid of copying it wrong and blowing themselves up.
Shall we continue to pay attention to the real estate market in the Terra Kingdom and see which new plots are worth investing in?
The pace of life in this world is actually slow. The nobles and professionals have long lives and have already experienced all the joys of life.
That is why they are so excited about the planning of the Free City. It proposes many ideas that have caught their attention.
In this rapidly changing capitalist society that has developed over hundreds of years, there are just too many tricks that make the rich comfortable.
Moreover, Tasika, who has unlocked the attribute of the Capital Queen, has mastered the wealth code to milk money from the noble circle.
She even has the ability to invest in the magic industry of the empire in a reverse way.
Of course, this can also be explained as her way of repaying Lord Charles for his help in bringing overseas hot money back to the empire.
In fact, Tasika can see very clearly that real estate is all about making money.
Commercial real estate and entertainment industries serve the nobles. However, the true purchasing power and future of the ever-night world should belong to the bottommost laboring people.
The upgraded industries and technological advancements in the Empire have produced tremendous productivity, which far exceeds that of the traditional tycoons who are still immersed in their utopian dreams.
New technologies can enhance national power, upgrade weapons, and bring about new pleasures.
The Empire doesn't want to burden its own citizens, but it can corrode other powers through lending to the Terra Kingdom.
Tasika doesn't mind the nobles shedding more blood.
All of these steps are intended to better prepare for the future, and to smoothly receive the world's arrangements.
Those self-proclaimed smart powers won’t think there will be any problem in giving Tasika money.
She holds a deep grudge against the Green Vines Empire and thus, even with the money, may cause trouble for the Empire.
Investing money in the Terra Kingdom will increase personal benefits, strengthen resistance to the vanguard of the Empire, and create a win-win situation.
Especially, the Green Vines Empire didn't even continue its military retaliation, which made it appear very weak, causing the kings and dukes of these powers to gradually relax.
The empire is a paper tiger, and even the Eternal Night Queen has times when she cannot be defeated. The era that belongs to her has come to an end.
Now, let's all cheer for Queen Tasika!
As the ground war gradually subsided and the countries entered a relatively stable stage, the battles between the Nagas and mermaids underwater continued to escalate.
With Queen Tasika's assistance, the Naga Empire was originally in an overwhelmingly dominant position, and was about to penetrate the mermaid sea country and take over the first landing point.
Just then, Prince Shaka returned to the mermaid sea country with his newly-purchased equipment, dragging the battle between the two sides into a stalemate.
