Chapter 833 - Big Matter

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The third thing for Zhao Fu to do was to find owners for the 36 Fish God Magic Staffs. Zhao Fu picked out 36 people who performed quite well and converted their professions to professions related to water. The Fish God Magic Staffs’ forbidden skill had to do with water, so this would increase the forbidden skill’s power.

After completing the things for the Divine Fish Festival, it was time for Zhao Fu to take care of the things from the Disaster Festival. Zhao Fu had obtained five Level 10 Disaster Beast Crystals, which were of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elements.

With these Level 10 Disaster Beast Crystals, Zhao Fu upgraded the ten Disaster Cavalrymen into high-grade Lord class creatures. Their auras were now only a bit weaker than the boss monsters of a region, and each of them could control 300,000 Undead. With the ten of them, they could control three million Undead.

The next thing to take care of was the Disaster Seeds. Great Qin had many Gold grade cities as ordinary system main cities were all Gold grade.

Zhao Fu chose a city at random to fuse with a Disaster Seed, turning it into a Disaster City, giving it powerful disaster power.

After dealing with all of these matters, Zhao Fu finally breathed out in relief and returned to Great Qin to rest to recover from the exhaustion he had built up.

A day after the Six Day Festival, a big matter shook the entire world, changing the status quo in the whole world.

On that day, Zhao Fu became mad with joy, and all of his subordinates also looked delighted, as they had never thought that something like this would happen. It was simply too sudden and too important, causing many people to laugh in joy.

What had happened was that 600 or so City Lords had decided to join Great Qin. Indeed, 600 system main cities had decided to submit to Great Qin and become part of it.

Just the population alone of 600 or so system main cities was around 300 million, and they had around six million Stage 1 soldiers. No matter how calm and collected Zhao Fu was, hearing that such a large force had decided to join Great Qin, he could not help but madly laugh.

The main reason for this was because most of the system main cities had relocated and gathered together so that it was not just three or four system main cities per region.

There were now often more than a hundred system main cities gathered together, forming a massive cluster of system main cities.

There were two main factions among these clusters. One hated players and wanted to kill all players, viewing players as evil creatures that had to be eliminated.

The other faction treated players better and gave all sorts of benefits, but the prerequisite was that one had to be loyal to them and sign a contract. They did not allow any players who were not loyal to them to enter their territory.

This meant that ordinary players had lost the protection of cities and could not freely visit system main cities, which had dealt a heavy blow to them.

People could do anything they wanted outside of system main cities, making the world truly chaotic.

Killing people and committing arson was fine outside of the system main cities, but within system main cities, they had to follow the rules already established. Now that many system main cities had relocated and gathered together, players could do whatever they wanted in the empty regions.

Killing, stealing, pillaging happened everywhere, and nowhere was safe. There was no place where they could receive protection, and those who were the most scared were, of course, the ordinary people.

The larger factions had the power to set up new rules and maintain peace in their territories, but places without big factions were places of danger where the strong devoured the weak.

Zhao Fu did not have the time to care about what was happening in the rest of the world. Now that 600 or so system main cities had joined Great Qin, Great Qin’s strength once again greatly increased.

Great Qin now had one billion people and 160 million soldiers. There were 130 million or so Stage 1 soldiers, 4.2 million Stage 2 soldiers, 400,000 Stage 3 soldiers, and 15,000 Stage 4 soldiers.

Great Qin originally controlled 160 regions, but as the cities around Great Qin either moved away or joined Great Qin, many of the regions around it had become empty.

There were around 260 of these empty regions in the east, west, and south of Great Qin. Zhao Fu did not count those in the north, because any further north was the territory of Vietnam.

Now, Great Qin’s job was to clear out these 260 regions. If they could do that, Great Qin would be able to control 420 regions, which was a shocking number.

Right now, Great Qin had four Capital Cities, 2,072 Great Cities, 39 Cities, 280 Towns, and 28,489 Villages.

Great Qin’s strength could now rival that of a large nation in the real world, and Zhao Fu now felt immensely confident.

The reason 600 or so City Lords had been willing to join Great Qin was because of Great Qin’s foreign policy and its strength. It was only because of this that Great Qin had been able to attract so many people.

What had caused this was fear of not being able to use the neutral mode in the future, which would allow players to gather together to destroy system main cities. This was why the system main cities had all mass-relocated. If they lost neutral mode and were too spaced out, they would definitely be attacked by countless players and destroyed.

They were already afraid, so they had to gather together, and that was why the 600 or so system main cities had joined Great Qin. There was no time for any hesitation, and if they did not join any alliances, they would have to join Great Qin.

When he thought of this, Zhao Fu made preparations to properly welcome the new City Lords. He then returned to the real world and ordered people to collect information on this.

As expected, many players had the same thoughts and gathered together to attack some of the system main cities that had not yet relocated. However, they found that neutral mode was still there, and a powerful defensive barrier covered the entire system main city.

After finding out about this, Zhao Fu felt a bit surprised. However, he understood that even if the system main cities still had neutral mode, this would not last for too long. They had made this move ahead of time in order to not be caught out when neutral mode was gone.

The fact that the neutral mode of system main cities was about to disappear meant that the real world would soon be devoured by the Heaven Awaken World. There was less and less time.

At the same time, Zhao Fu found out that it was not just Great Qin who had benefitted from this. The various other Dynasty Legatees had attracted many City Lords to join, and they had become much more powerful as well.
