Chapter 833: World’s First Capital City
Translator: ryangohsff Editor: Nora
Ouyang Shuo arrived at the main hall of the Nanjiang Governor-General House, opening the
information panel, he clicked on upgrade and a System Notification sounded out in his ear.
“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, all three upgrade quest have been completed, will you upgrade?”
“Yes!”
The territory stone steele rose up once more and a golden light shot into the sky. This golden light was more eye-catching than ever before, and the light brought with it a noble aura.
It made one feel respectful and in awe as one gazed at it.
The pure light burst apart in the sky, becoming a majestic golden cover that spread out swiftly in all four directions, sweeping past Shanhai City, Lianzhou Basin, sweeping past Chuannan Province…
Yunnan Province, Lingnan Province, Minnan Province, Qiongzhou Prefecture, Xingzhou Prefecture, Friendship City, Jidian City… Every part of the territory was covered and protected by this golden light.
Along the way, any civilians who saw the golden light could not help but bow their heads in respect.
Just at this moment, a clear and crisp dragon roar resounded from the skies above Shanhai City. The massive and dense white clouds faded away and a huge dragon spanning hundreds of miles was coiled up in the sky.
Ancient, carefree.
Its purple scales appeared even nobler and more eye-catching under the golden shine.
After they took down Minnan Province, the fate dragon was nourished and was already on the verge of levelling up. This time, being nourished by the golden light, it had finally broken through the bottleneck and broke into the 3rd stage purple dragon.
Purple dragon, the foundation for an emperor dynasty.
The 3rd stage purple dragon already possessed a physical form and was not illusionary like before.
A System Notification sounded out in Ouyang Shuo’s ear.
“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, fate dragon has evolved to 3rd stage- purple dragon, territory fate and prosperity has swelled. Rewarding player with a 15 point increase in luck stat.”
Just like when the fate dragon had evolved to the red dragon stage, the purple dragon swept its tail and a spirit rain poured down from the sky.
The heavier this spirit rain, the stronger the effects.
It was the start of spring, being nourished by the spirit rain, herbs, mulberry trees, crops, and other plant life all grew crazily. All the wild grasses and small flowers filled up the desolate wilderness and no empty spots were left.
Such prosperity, the sign of a great rule.
Being influenced by this, the people’s sentiment that had been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time finally broke through to 100.
Back when the fate dragon evolved to the red dragon stage, the territory’s people sentiment had already reached 99. After half a year, there had been small increases before it finally stopped at 99.8.
This time, the stat had finally stepped up and broken through to the maximum of 100.
Another System Notification sounded out in Ouyang Shuo’s ear.
“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, territory people’s sentiment has reached 100, awarded hidden building People Pagoda, congratulations player!”
Name: People Pagoda
Type: Hidden Building
Function: Every year, randomly summon an honest and upright official that left a legacy
Specialty: Increases attraction of special talents by 20%, increases territory fame by 5%
When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he smiled widely. Good things truly came in pairs, not only did he get an extra 15 luck points, but he also obtained a hidden building.
From Gaia’s usual way of doing things, probably when any territory hit 100 points for people sentiment they would receive a people sentiment type building. Shanhai City, as the first in the world, obviously obtained the highest grade building.
Speaking of honest and upright officials, Ouyang Shuo immediately thought of Hai Rui, Di Ren Jie, and the like. Hai Rui was already working in Shanhai City, so Ouyang Shuo was really looking forward to getting people like Di Ren Jie.
Di Ren Jie was a top grade case solver.
As the golden light faded, the Capital City upgrade was completed and more notifications sounded out in Ouyang Shuo’s ear.
“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi, territory has upgraded to Capital City. Nanjiang Governor-General Manor has automatically upgraded, please take a look!”
Due to the needs of establishing the country, the manor was remodeled into a palace. The system upgrade only upgraded and enhanced the current available structures and did not conflict with the palace construction.
“System Notification: congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi. After upgrading, player can add another teleportation formation, please choose location! Friendly Reminder: The location is not restricted to Shanhai City, any city in the territory can be chosen.”
Yet another teleportation formation.
Ouyang Shuo thought about it and decided to choose the Xunlong City that he had just taken down.
Currently, he did not have a single teleportation formation within Minnan Province, and it was not good for the rule in the province. Opening up the teleportation formation there would also be a good weapon against Jiangnan Province.
Only then could he ensure the safety of the east border.
“I choose Xunlong City!”
“System Notification: Location chosen, constructing teleportation formation!”
The part that left Ouyang Shuo feeling disappointed was that he was not given a chance to change the landscape. Maybe in the eyes of Gaia, changing the landscape at the Capital City level would not amount to much.
Hence, Gaia gave a new benefit instead.
“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for upgrading territory to Capital City, rewarded 12 Golden Men. Protecting the Capital City, ensuring the stability of the waters and the mountains.”
Along with the sound of the notification, a golden light shone outside the north city gate of the city. Suddenly, at the two sides of the official path, 12 tall golden statues appeared, giving off a majestic aura.
Even if one looked north from the main hall of the manor, they would be able to see the 12 guards.
12 Golden Men: Special combat puppets. Normally act as statues and will not move. When the city is under attack, they will get activated and protect the city.
In the past, Qin Shihuang had crafted 12 giant statues to prevent his people from revolting.
Gaia was really interesting, turning them into combat puppets. Who knows how strong they were? However, they were probably enough to compete with the puppets of Atlantis.
Ouyang Shuo had yearned for the combat puppets of Atlantis for a long time. Now, he had obtained 12 of them.
Based on the settings from Gaia, the rewarded golden men number would drop by 2 for every subsequent territory. The second person in the China region would get 10, the 3rd eight, and so on.
At the 7th place, one would not get anything.
Apart from the 12 Golden Men that were unique to China, there was another reward that Ouyang Shuo had desired for a long time.
“System Notification: Congratulations Player Qiyue Wuyi for upgrading territory to Capital City, added a Satellite City, entrance to the underground world, please choose location! Friendly Reminder: the location of the Satellite City is not restricted to around Shanhai City but can be anywhere in the territory.”
Listening to the System Notification, the worry in his heart was finally placed down. This time, he could finally answer to Moon Shines over the River, Ji Yinghu, and Mengyun Tunding.
The future Satellite City would have more than three million people staying there. For so many players to gather in one place, it was really worrying.
Even if Qingfeng Pavillion, Shadow Alliance, and Yimeng Pavillion could defend it, Ouyang Shuo still did not feel at ease placing it in Lianzhou Basin.
It was too risky!
Ouyang Shuo thought about it and decided to place it in Xunzhou Prefecture in Chuannan Province, which was outside the governing center of Tianjing City.
First, Tianjing City was a mega city. With the strong foundations that Taiping Country had laid down, it could provide service and protection for the Satellite City.
Secondly, it was not too far away from Shanhai City, and it would take just two days from the relay.
Thirdly, the Satellite City would be separated from Lianzhou Basin by the Mulan Stronghold. Hence, even if something happened, they would be able to hold it off till the troops arrive.
After this, Ouyang Shuo would instruct the Military Affairs Bureau to order the city protection 2nd legion under Mu Guiying to shift over to Mulan Stronghold.
Mu Guiying had participated in the construction of the stronghold from the start. With her guarding it, Ouyang Shuo was totally at ease.
Of course, all of these were just preventive measures, and there was not a high chance that such a problem would occur.
In the future, only the players and guilds that Ouyang Shuo trusted could enter. At the same time, to ensure their loyalty, Ouyang Shuo would increase the control over them to ensure a win-win situation.
“I choose the outskirts of Tianjing City!” Ouyang Shuo replied.
“System Notification: Location chosen, Satellite City is being constructed!”
Along with the system notification, an eye-catching golden light appeared in Tianjing City. Like a giant mushroom cloud, a golden light shot into the sky. Even if one was thousands of miles away, one could see the light clearly.
When the golden light faded, a newly formed city stood in the wilderness. It was 10 miles wide and long. Be it the structure or the city walls, it was all a simplified version of Shanhai City.
At this point, the basic rewards for upgrading to Capital City had been given out.
Following which, there were more System Notifications.
“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for being the 1st Lord to upgrade to Capital City. Rewarded 100 thousand merit points, congratulations!” … To the wilderness territories, Capital City was a whole new level. Hence, Gaia was really generous and rewarded him with 100 thousand merit points.

One must not look down on 100 thousand merit points as it was equivalent to the rewards from a single Battle Map.
The moment the notification sounded out, China was in an uproar once more.
All the players focused their eyes to witness another peak for the China region.
