Chapter 258 Establishing Cities at Nodes
At that moment, all nodes within the country’s borders had been explored and marked clearly on the map. One would be able to see everything clearly after opening the map.
Li Xiang did not rest. He immediately stood up and led his people towards the nearest place.
This place was a small plain, but in its surroundings, there was a continuous mountain range that surrounded it. There were only three limited passages that connected the North and South. It was an extremely important place.
Li Xiang came to the middle of the small plain, took out a Lord’s Imprint, and threw it to the ground.
“Ding! Do you want to build a castle here?”
“Yes!”
“Boom!”
A small castle instantly rose from the ground.
Although the castle was small, it had everything necessary. It was a place where every person who had just arrived in the Myriad World Continent had to settle down.
Li Xiang nodded and turned to Alice. He said, “Let the Lords who have been chosen run for office freely and let the highest bidder win. The gold and crystal coins need not be collected into the national treasury. Use them to upgrade the castle and purchase materials. I only give them a month. If they cannot upgrade the castle to a city within a month, they don’t need to be Castellan. Go back and waste their lives!”
“Yes!”
Alice covered her mouth and chuckled. Then, she left and went back to host the castle auction.
Of course, although those Lords had some money, it wasn’t much. Just relying on their own money was definitely not enough.
So, Li Xiang also gave a very favorable policy.
He would pay for the upgrade, but those Lords and Castellans would have to fulfill the other conditions.
Whoever could do it quickly and well would get more opportunities and benefits.
Although Li Xiang was fast, it was not easy for him to run through hundreds of nodes on a land that was more than ten million square kilometers.
Fortunately, as the Lord of Dawn, Li Xiang could use a teleportation array to teleport at any time and place. He could run on the ground whenever he wanted and use a teleportation array when he was tired.
Even so, it took Li Xiang two days to put down the new castles on all the nodes.
Those castles belonged to Li Xiang, but he could also send people to manage and operate them with his authorization.
The domestic channel of the Kingdom of Dawn became lively again. All of them were rubbing their fists excitedly.
As Lords who had lost their territories, it was a great blessing for them to be able to regain their territories.
Even if the castles did not truly belong to them, and they would have to be punished and expelled if they could not do it, it still didn’t reduce their passion.
There were many reasons why the territory did not develop in the beginning. Still, ultimately, they lost the initiative and their territories in the end because the external threat was too terrifying. Their hearts were filled with dissatisfaction and unwillingness.
Now, Li Xiang had given them another chance to prove themselves again. No one was willing to give up.
Moreover, though it was not perfectly safe in the Kingdom of Dawn, the external environment was at least much better than when they first arrived at the Trial Continent.
Furthermore, they had the support of the Kingdom of Dawn. They might as well kill themselves if they could not achieve anything.
“When I first appeared in the Myriad World Continent, I didn’t even understand what was going on, and the monsters came knocking on my door. I was so scared that I almost went crazy.”
“F*ck, then how did you survive?”
“Hmph, I have a B-Rank talent. After I calmed down and understood the system’s situation, I immediately recruited soldiers and killed the monsters outside.”
“But you are still here now. Looks like a B-Rank talent is just like that!”
“How much better can you be than me?”
“Hmph, I only have an F-Rank talent, but the moment I descended, I cleared out all the monsters around the territory. Unfortunately, I was born at the wrong time, and strong people surrounded me. No matter how I tried to deal with them, I still ended up like this.”
“Stop bragging. Those who can come here are all failures. However, failure isn’t scary. What’s scary is that they won’t be able to recover from this setback. Now that the Lord of Dawn has given us this opportunity, everyone has to seize it. This is the last chance to prove ourselves and also the last chance to change our fates. I hope everyone will take this opportunity seriously.”
…
After Li Xiang finished arranging all the nodes, he finally returned to his palace and sat on the sofa in his bedroom to rest.
At the same time, he opened the chat channel and saw the comments of the Lords in the country.
After watching for a while and understanding the thoughts and mentality of those people, he only nodded slightly and went to watch the other channels.
After arriving at the real end of the continent, there were only three system chat channels: [National Channel], [Race Channel], and [World Channel].
To those small countries, National Channel was almost useless. It was meaningful only to a country like Li Xiang’s, which had a large territory.
As the name implied, the Race Channel could only be used by people of the same race.
The World Channel was used by all the races in the Myriad World Continent. Regardless of friend or foe, they could all communicate here.
Of course, they could also set up their private channel by spending crystal coins.
However, the price of setting up a private channel was extraordinarily high. It was definitely not something that an ordinary Lord could afford.
For example, the Alliance Channel and the Friends Channel were all private channels.
To Li Xiang, this bit of expenditure was naturally nothing. He set up the Alliance Channel and the Friends Channel again.
The Alliance Channel had six people, including him, Yang Mi, and others. There were not many people on the Friends Channel either. Other than Yang Mi and the others, there was only Jian Suyan, who did not stand out for a long time.
Looking at Jian Suyan’s name, Li Xiang felt he had not contacted the other party for a long time. He did not know what her situation was like.
Now that they had arrived in the real Myriad World Continent, the system did not seem to have changed much on the whole. However, there were many changes in the details. Even if they were to study it specifically, they would still need to spend a lot of time.
For example, the situation where people could immediately purchase items hung on the trading interface with money had been canceled.
Now, items could still be hung on the trading interface, but if the deal was successful and you wanted to send the items over, you could either spend a lot of money to send them through the system or organize your caravan to send them over personally. Or you could activate the cross-border teleportation array to send them over yourself.
If you relied on the system to mail them, the cost wouldn’t be much if the quantity and the size were small.
But if the quantity was large and the size was big, the cost would be massive.
The shipping cost could be more expensive than the cost of buying things.
As for the second type, there was nothing they could do about it now.
All kinds of demon beasts were wreaking havoc outside the various countries.
Those demon beasts were not the mutated monsters in the Evernight Continent but real demon beasts. Each of them was either very powerful or very strange and unpredictable. They were extremely difficult to deal with.
It was definitely not an easy task to open up a business path from there, and it was not something that could be done in a short time.
