  Chapter 96 We Are the Lighthouse

  The results of Yaocheng exceeded expectations.

  Lu Yao originally thought that this city should carry forward theology and astrology, and the next step is the advanced development of mystic alchemy. In the end, it became the center of the holy place in this pixel world, and it became a place similar to Jerusalem.

   Now he realizes that he's a bit preconceived.

   Everything has to consider the background of the times and the general environment.

  Theology is indeed old and outdated in the age of technology.

   But in the period when the city was only established, theology was synonymous with advanced.

  Lu Yao has played many historical strategy games, which are described in these games. Early clergy, whether they were shamans, monks, priests, or Taoists, were often doctors, astronomers, mathematicians, and philosophers.

  Now, Yaocheng has exerted the power of theology.

   Driven by the belief in gods, a large group of scholars have gathered here. They understand the whole world by reading books and miracles.

  Not far from the temple, a stone sculpture was placed by the villains.

  This stone carving is marked: [The Kingdom of Water].

  Lu Yao double-clicked the stone statue to get a clear and large picture.

The Kingdom of Water is a contemporary globe created by Yaocheng. Its structure is a bit crude: two continents and a series of small islands float in an ocean, and the ocean is a long thin slice, which looks like a few pieces of chocolate nut.

   There is also a sentence engraved on the model.

  「Water is the source of all things, and all things end in water」

  Yaocheng created the earliest schools, seminaries, scholars, and world models.

  Lu Yao couldn't help being curious.

  As a competitor of Yaocheng, what is the situation in Yancheng?

  He switched the perspective and came to the sky above Yancheng behind the mountains in the west.

   Once transferred, a series of reminders will pop up on the emulator.

  【The medicine spoon invented the oil lamp. 】

  【Yancheng invented lighthouse science. 】

  【Yancheng built the first lighthouse. 】

  【Discover the prototype of the available wonder: the lighthouse. 】

  …

  —Great god, there is a believer who has done a feat far beyond the group, do you need to transform her into a hero?

  Lu Yao opened the temple first.

  In the hall, there is a girl kneeling on the ground, praying to the statue with her hands folded.

  The name on her head shows 【Medicine Spoon】, she is 21 years old this year.

   This is the first time for Lu Yao to transform into a heroine among the villains. The previous Haimila was a prophet.

  In Lihua, Yaoshao is a young girl with a scorpion tail. She was sitting at a table with her chin resting on her folded hands, looking with glee at an oil lamp on the table.

   There is another sentence below that represents the medicine spoon.

  —Man is an animal that learns to make friends with fire.

  …

  [Hero Lv1] Medicine Spoon

  Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 2 Mana 0 Luck 1 Morale 0

【ability】

  Wisdom Lv1: Wisdom is the key for the apostles to listen to the will of the gods. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

  Medical Lv1: Good at healing, with a certain probability of being able to invent new drugs or treatments.

  Invention Lv1: The probability of inventing new things increases.

  …

  Lu Yao beamed with joy.

  Initial three skills!

  The girl with scorpion tails is a doctor by profession, but she is also an inventor.

   Genius without compromise.

  The key is that she is a hero born naturally from the salt pond. This shows from the side that the Yanchi model is feasible and beneficial to small groups of people.

  Lu Yao silently memorized the name of the medicine spoon in a small notebook in his heart.

   This is the future focus on talent.

   Gradually calmed down from the surprise, Lu Yao thought about creating a spectacle in these two cities.

  Currently, he has two wonders, one is Yaocheng's own [Wheat Colosseum], and the other is [Egil's Fire] in the northern forest.

  Since it was determined that the spectacle will not force players to ascend to the temples, Lu Yao's attitude towards the spectacle has changed.

   It is of course good if you have it, and you don’t have to force it if you don’t have it.

   Now that both cities have created a spectacle prototype, it shows that they are developing well and have taken a step forward.

   It's just that there are not many beliefs now.

  Lu Yao looked at the upper right corner.

   Population: 22,723 Faith: 5,951

  The population has been growing steadily, but the faith has been continuously depleted due to the release of the snowman's seal and the battle against the Katsura God.

   It is still a time of war, and these belief reserves cannot be moved for the time being.

  The miracle can only be put aside for now.

  Lu Yao scratched his head.

  I used to feel that I was very rich, but after a war, I became tight again. No amount of faith is enough to spend, and more must be accumulated.

   Fortunately, he now holds 14 belief bonus items, and he has a fixed income of 672 points of belief every day.

   Just wait another week to recover.

  …

  Lu Yao overlooks Yancheng.

  A lighthouse was built on the edge of the city port in the northwest.

  Its appearance cannot be said to be grand or exquisite, it is just a low sentry tower built of stones. At night, firewood is lit on the sentry tower.

  Yancheng Lighthouse is more used as landmark lighting to guide ships returning from sea.

  Beside the library in the center of the city, Mayor Yulian is delivering a speech. Shang Li silently stood behind him, acting like a think tank.

  Commander Yangar led the Corruptors to maintain order in the surrounding crowd.

  Yulian said: "Citizens, we are facing a severe challenge. This challenge comes from the city of Yao in the east."

   "Everyone knows that Yancheng has been developing commercial trade and devoting itself to various new inventions. But this has always been condemned by Yaocheng."

   "The Prophet Haimila has asked me many times to change Yancheng, abandon the current business operations, replace the library with the seminary, replace the beast fighting with prayer, and drive out the so-called 'fallen people'."

   "She believes that Yaocheng represents the will of the gods, and Yancheng must follow in their footsteps."

   "However, the gods have never given such guidance or determination."

   "Citizens, are you willing to accept Yaocheng's leadership?"

  The citizens of Yancheng erupted into strong opposition.

   "Are you kidding! If they are all like Yaocheng, who will raise cattle, sheep and pigs, and where do they get their wood and salt? Isn't it all produced by our Yancheng!"

   "It's jealousy. They are jealous that Yancheng is getting richer."

   "That's right! Yaocheng is jealous. After Master Senjian passed away, the people there kept migrating here because Yancheng has a better life and cheaper goods."

   "Yancheng is the best!"

  …

   "Please be quiet, be quiet."

  Yulian continued: "The Prophet thinks that the way of Yaocheng is the right one. But I don't think that the population of Yancheng is constantly increasing, and people are constantly moving from Yaocheng to Yancheng, join us!"

   "This is everyone's most authentic choice, which proves that Yancheng has better conditions than Yaocheng, and is more tolerant and pragmatic!"

  “Without the blessing of God Yao, it is impossible for Yancheng to come to where it is today.”

  "Since we are facing challenges, let us prove that Yancheng is the choice and favor of the gods, and it is also the choice of everyone!"

   "We will be like a lighthouse by the sea, illuminating the direction of coming and going for everyone!"

   "We are the lighthouse!"

   After Yulian finished speaking, the citizens responded one after another, raising their arms and shouting.

   "We are the lighthouse!"

   "We are the lighthouse!"

  …

  Lu Yao unpacked a pack of original potato chips and watched while eating the chips.

not bad.

  The competition between cities begins.

  Lu Yao is looking forward to this battle of two cities.

   I don’t know how the two cities will prove that they are the leaders of pixel humans.
