If he cut open Jack's heart, he would find that a pea-sized faith totem was gradually brightening, releasing some kind of signal.
About ten minutes later, Jiang Chen, who was having a meeting with the ministers, was suddenly stunned. He quickly picked up the map and marked a spot in a sea area that the empire hadn't explored yet.
"Your Majesty, is that the Pirate World?”
"Yes, it should be the Ghost Island or the Country of Peace in the new world.”
"However, this is not important. It is enough for us to determine a direction and a rough distance.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile. If he had discovered the pirates 'world before them, it meant that the enemy was in the open while he was in the dark. He could attack or defend himself. He couldn't help but feel happy.
"Your Majesty, since we've found the Pirate World, should we start the next step of the plan?”
The military minister stared at the small dot on the map and asked urgently.
"There's no hurry. The universal WeChat has not been successfully developed yet.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen shifted his gaze to the minister of scientific research. The other ministers also looked over.
He saw the little old man sitting on the chair in a daze. His eyes were listless as he looked forward. His mouth was snoring, and he had actually fallen asleep with his eyes open.
Perhaps it was a man's intuition, or perhaps it was the sudden silence in the meeting room, but the snoring suddenly stopped.
Then, as if nothing had happened, the minister said to Jiang Chen calmly,"
" Your Majesty, our Research Department has developed a trial machine. It's not a problem for people outside the Desolate Country to use it. However, due to the special nature of the power of faith, the universal version of WeChat is a one-time use. It will be completely scrapped after two months at most.”
"Two months? It was completely enough. Actually, it only needed a month.”
"Make the production line as soon as possible. I want to spread WeChat all over the pirate world.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Relax, I believe in your ability.”
Jiang Chen patted the minister's shoulder and encouraged him.
When he patted his shoulder, a pure power of faith quietly entered the physical strength of the almost 70-year-old Minister of Science and Technology, silently nourishing his tired body and soul.
At the same time, the power of faith also blocked the Minister of Science and Technology's nerves, forcing him to fall asleep.
If he didn't do this, with his personality, he probably wouldn't rest until he fainted.
No one present would care about the old man falling asleep during the meeting. Everyone knew that he had been too busy recently and had no time to sleep.
After all, whether it was the universal version of WeChat, which was the most urgent, or the strategic weapon, which was related to the final result, they were not simple projects.
After the attendant took the sleeping minister of scientific research out of the conference room, Jiang Chen spoke again,"
"How are the closed beta players?”
"Your Majesty, it's just as you predicted. No, it should be even more unbelievable than what you described.”
"They're so cheap that we feel a little embarrassed. They'll work for us at one-tenth of the normal market price.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Not only are they cheap, but they are also not picky about their jobs. Whether it's cleaning the sewers or repairing the floor tiles, these players are quite hardworking.”
"The most important thing is that they still have their subjects. We only need to pay one player and we can gain several or even dozens of laborers.”
……
At the mention of the players, the seven division heads were overjoyed.
They couldn't help but feel happy. The value of players was even more amazing than Jiang Chen had imagined.
Not only was the hiring price ten times cheaper than the citizens of the Desolate Country, but they were also not picky. They could do all the dirty and tiring work, and even some dangerous work.
Player 2, who had been analyzed by the psychologist to have a tendency to self-destruct, went directly to the military department to volunteer himself as a target to test the power of various weapons and practice shooting for the soldiers.
On average, they died thousands of times a day, which was far more than the highest record in the era of Jiang Chen's tribe.
In short, the players were good. Whoever used them would know.
If it wasn't for the fact that there were only 14 players now, the various Ministers would have replaced all of the Empire's laborers and high-risk occupations with players.
In fact, Jiang Chen had made the same decision. This would greatly accelerate the development of the empire, but not all of it.
After all, the players couldn't keep doing mechanical work. They were only doing it because it was new.
As for the players, their views were completely different from the dynasty's.
Happiness needed to be compared. After experiencing life in the wilderness, the players only felt happiness in the Great Desolate Kingdom.
The safe environment, clean accommodation, delicious food, and a variety of work experiences allowed them to experience the true joy of the game.
Moreover, most of the time, it was not them who worked, but their subjects.
Even if some of the subjects were injured, sick, or unable to work due to low loyalty, the players could package them and sell them to the Great Desolate Kingdom at a low price. Then, they could fill in some resources earned from work and summon new subjects. It was basically a free trade.
The people in the live broadcast room also sighed.
"I just entered the game, hell mode. I just entered the Great Desolate Empire, heaven mode.”
"It's really different with the novice village.”
" Yeah, these few dog coins are eating, drinking, and having fun every day. It's like they're traveling. It feels like they've eaten a lemon…"
"I've decided. When the server officially opens, I'm going to stay in the Great Desolate Country. Those who play the game will have fun. If they're sick, they'll suffer in the wilderness.”
"Didn't anyone notice that the average beauty of the girls in the Great Desolate Kingdom is very high? He whispered," Can you get married in this game?"”
"No, no way. Get lost!"
"Great Desolate Kingdom: Artificial Title Warning!”
" AI: Electric shock warning!"
" I'm guessing that such good treatment is part of the game's balancing mechanism. After all, it's impossible for every player to want to fight for hegemony and war. More people play 'Civilization' just to relax. That's why the officials made the trading mechanism of the novice village like this, so that it's convenient for those idle players to eat, drink, and have fun in the Great Desolate Kingdom.”
" I even speculate that when 'Civilization' is officially launched, players will have the opportunity to join the Grand Desolate Empire and become citizens of the Imperium. They might even be able to get married and have children in the game.”
"F * ck, I'm so excited. What's the difference between this and the real world?”
" There's really not much difference. Otherwise, why would people say that 'Civilization' is the second world of mankind?”
"Why is everyone talking about this nonsense? Am I the only one memorizing formulas and theories, preparing to enter the game to exchange resources with the Great Desolate Empire?”
“……”
“……”
"Previous poster, are you a f * cking fool? It's fine as long as you know. Why did you say it out loud?”
"It's over. I originally wanted to make a fortune in silence, but now I can only compete with who's faster. Knowledge can only be submitted once. Everyone, let's compete in speed!”
"Thank you for your reminder, big brother."
"By the way, don't any of you find it strange? I can understand the Great Desolate Empire issuing missions and trading knowledge, but what the hell is the purpose of collecting subjects?”
"It should be the game's recycling mechanism. After all, it's very troublesome for a subject to be injured. If no one recovers it, they can only discard it or kill it. We can't just wait for it to heal by itself.”
"That makes sense, that makes sense."
"The person above is right!"
