Chapter 751: Chapter 722: City Building

Yichen stood up and said, "Amitabha, Rabbit, if possible, we would like to be the first batch of residents in your Divine Country."

Yi Zheng was dumbfounded. He came to see them off, but unexpectedly gained a group of first residents!

"Oh, I see. Then... everyone, raise your glasses, and as the first person of this Divine Country, let’s welcome you all!" Yi Zheng shouted.

Everyone raised their glasses. After a drink, they all smiled bitterly. Who would have thought they came in good condition but couldn’t go back!

"Rabbit, is your Divine Country a special task? Or is it system assigned?" someone asked.

Yi Zheng shook his head, "The system doesn’t care about this, I just thought of it on a whim."

Everyone fell silent. It felt like they’d joined a disorganized group.

Yi Zheng said, "But don’t underestimate my Divine Country. My goal is the stars and the sea! My Divine Country is destined to be all-encompassing, all heavens and realms!

The benefits for you, the first to join, will be enormous in the future."

"Hiccup!" Li Qingluo let out a burp, and Yi Zheng’s face twitched...

Although Li Qingluo and the others hadn’t seen any benefits, at least there was one thing they could be assured of.

From now on, when they roamed the Kunlun Remnant Range, they would no longer face danger.

This was extremely beneficial for collecting heavenly materials and resisting heavenly tribulation.

After seeing off these players, Yi Zheng also returned to his Giant Kun Mountain.

Looking at the rabbits sunbathing or the flocks of chickens running about with mama hens, Yi Zheng always felt his Divine Country seemed a bit odd, as if something was missing.

Wandering around, he went into the Confucian Sect’s main hall.

Nowadays, the Confucian Sect wasn’t what it used to be.

After all, Yi Zheng was no longer an NPC but a Wild Monster.

So the Confucian Sect he formed was stuck at the ninth level, and the system hadn’t issued further tasks or rewards, but it also didn’t seem to want to take back anything previously granted, which puzzled Yi Zheng.

Walking in the Confucian Sect main hall, the most striking thing was naturally the statue of the Grandmaster Rabbit.

Glancing over, Yi Zheng suddenly froze!

Back when a million Confucian disciples worshiped, Yi Zheng noticed the Grandmaster statue absorbed the Desire Power of the masses. At that time, he even placed some hopes upon it, but, unfortunately, until now, the statue hadn’t changed much.

But today, the statue seemed different!

It used to be jade-carved, but now it seemed to have a bit of a fleshy feel, and under the skin, veins seemed to be faintly visible. It seemed to be coming to life!

At this time, Liu Fei walked in, saying, "I thought you’d never notice its change."

Yi Zheng asked, "How long has this been happening?"

Liu Fei replied, "Since we came to Kunlun and the number of disciples surged, it began to change."

Yi Zheng asked, "Do people still come to worship it every day?"

Liu Fei said, "After you led everyone in worshiping once, no one ever skipped it. You know, the status of Kongzi in our sect, even if they skip meals or the restroom, they worship here first.

Well...

Except for you."

Yi Zheng awkwardly tugged at his rabbit ears. He wanted to worship purely, but the problem was, he didn’t believe in the story he made up! Worshiping this thing always made him feel guilty...

In the following days, Yi Zheng didn’t go anywhere, just squatted in the main hall watching everyone worship the Grandmaster. Sure enough, as more and more people worshiped, the Grandmaster statue became more and more lifelike.

Yi Zheng suddenly had an idea and directly messaged the Eleven Divine Beasts, asking them to bring their minions to worship the Grandmaster.

The Eleven Divine Beasts had long been subdued by the rabbits, willingly serving as Yi Zheng’s followers. Since it was their Grandmaster, worshiping was naturally considered proper.

When hundreds of billions of Wild Monsters surged from every peak, the change in the Grandmaster statue became evident!

It stood there lifelike, and its eyes occasionally blinked, as if it had come alive.

In a flash, most of a month had passed. That day, Yi Zheng had just woken up when he heard chaos outside.

He opened the door to see Liu Fei standing there with a headache expression. Upon seeing Yi Zheng, Liu Fei immediately said, "The ransom has arrived."

"What?!" Yi Zheng’s mind had been in a dream just a moment ago. Suddenly hearing the word ransom, he was slightly dazed, then suddenly realized something: "Really? How many people?!"

Liu Fei said, "The first batch of eighteen million has arrived at Kunmu City.

Just now Zi Gong and the others wanted to take people to have a look, but I stopped them."

Yi Zheng flipped his eyes, cursing inwardly. Wasn’t Zi Gong trying to have a look? Most likely, they were itching to slaughter the city.

Yi Zheng quickly called them over: "Everyone, listen up, the players of Kunmu City are our ransom... cough, cough, they’ll be one of us in the future!

They’re the citizens of your king’s Divine Country, and we must live in peace, understood?"

When the rabbits heard the four words "live in peace," their big ears drooped immediately, responding weakly, "Understood!"

Yi Zheng didn’t bother with them. After warning everyone not to cause trouble, he returned to the Confucian Sect’s main hall to observe the Grandmaster again.

Recently, however, the Grandmaster’s change was not much greater, only appearing lifelike, with no further transformation.

As time passed, more and more ransom came, and Kunmu City gradually couldn’t accommodate them, complaints flying to Yi Zheng like snowflakes.

Yi Zheng looked at Liu Fei before him, then at the pile of paperwork, "All for me to handle?"

Liu Fei said, "Of course! You impulsively wanted to create a Divine Country; these are your citizens, so if anything happens, you must handle it naturally.

I’ve calculated, eighteen thousand hostages for a ransom of a thousand billion.

With this amount, you’re going to be blessed."

Yi Zheng regretted asking for more than he could manage for the first time...

A population of a thousand billion!

It would take an area seventeen times the size of Earth to accommodate them!

Fortunately, the Kunlun Remnant Range was vast enough to accommodate a thousand billion players, but just land wasn’t enough without cities!

Liu Fei also complained, "There are too many people, and the city is too small. One Kunmu City can only accommodate ten million, and the rest can only sleep outdoors.

We’re in dire need of more cities."

Hearing this, Yi Zheng’s eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped the table and said, "What did you say?"

"I said we are short on cities," Liu Fei replied subconsciously.

Yi Zheng then slapped his thigh and laughed, "Isn’t this the solution?

We’re short on cities; if we increase our cities, won’t it be solved?"

Liu Fei frowned and said, "Sect Master, the problem is we only have one Kunmu City."

Yi Zheng laughed and said, "Cities are dead, people are alive. If there are no cities, can’t we build some?"

Liu Fei said, "Without system-recognized cities, it’s equivalent to the wild; NPCs won’t go, and everything must be handled by the players themselves. To be honest, it’s troublesome..."
