Chapter 375: I Just Suddenly Wanted to Punch the Table
After giving instructions for the Yong Ding and officially commencing its construction, Luo Ji finally had one less thing to worry about.
He then began to immerse himself in handling the issues concerning the construction of academies in his various cities.
Although cultural development couldn’t be rushed, it was something that needed to be seriously addressed.
In response, the city lords of various cities were naturally delighted.
They successively expressed a strong desire to build academies in their own cities.
However, considering that the Architectural Engineering Department still had two city walls to repair, in the short term, Luo Ji clearly couldn’t afford to lavishly build an academy in every city.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji pondered for a while.
He ultimately decided to build an academy in each of West Plains City, Great Zhou City, and Wild Horse City on the plains.
He figured this should be enough to cope with the initial period, and if not, he could just continue building after enduring this phase.
One matter after another was continuously arranged.
Just as Luo Ji was vigorously developing his Myriad WorldsCivilization, a system notification sounded promptly in his mind…
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for winning the city defense battle!]
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining item ‘Li Yuanjie’s Relic ×1’!]
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining the item ‘Golden Treasure Chest ×1’!]
[System notification: Do you want to activate the ‘Civilization Conqueror’ skill?]
A series of system notifications clearly informed Luo Ji that Li Yuanjie’s time was up, and he had died.
However, it was surprising that he actually earned a golden treasure chest this round, yet upon closer thought, it wasn’t that surprising.
This battle had indeed been tough for him, with such severe troop casualties.
He had originally thought that when the system evaluated, his rating would be lowered, and he might only earn a silver treasure chest.
But he hadn’t expected the system to be so straightforward, directly giving him a golden one.
However, he could now be considered half a veteran, and he had seen many grand scenes.
So he wouldn’t lose his composure over just one golden treasure chest, let alone when there was an even more important matter before him, annexing the beastman civilization!
“Damn, I’m a little nervous. If I annex it, I won’t turn into a beastman, will I?”
Thinking of this, Luo Ji couldn’t help but wipe away non-existent cold sweat.
Then, hardening his resolve, he declared.
“Activate!”
Screw it, I’ll risk it!
Having wrestled with this question, Luo Ji had calmly analyzed it for nearly half a month, finally concluding that it was unlikely he would turn into a beastman.
After all, if he annexed a beastman civilization now and ended up turning into a beastman, then what if he annexed another special civilization next time?
What would he have to turn into then?
As he was thinking this, a system notification once again sounded in his ear…
[System notification: Target detected as a special civilization. After activating the ‘Civilization Conqueror’ skill, the characteristics of the opposing special civilization might have a certain degree of impact on your civilization. Do you wish to continue activating?]
“Of course I’ll activate it!”
Decreased productivity, development, and technological capability? Worsening order and hygiene?
Luo Ji had long prepared himself mentally.
And most importantly, Luo Ji desperately needed beastman civilization right now!
Thinking carefully, what was he lacking now? Troops! Troops!
And what beastman civilization had in abundance was precisely this.
Just casually assembling a beastman army, distributing some equipment, and even without training them, letting them charge onto the battlefield and fight haphazardly, they would still be incredibly fierce.
This much was clear just by looking at Li Yuanjie.
How could Luo Ji not want such a civilization?
[System notification: Activating the ‘Civilization Conqueror’ skill requires consuming 65 ‘Conquest Points.’ Do you confirm consumption?]
“Bang!”
Hearing this number, Luo Ji immediately slammed his fist on his office desk.
“Your Majesty, what happened?!”
Hearing the commotion, the guards standing outside the office quickly asked.
“It’s nothing, I just suddenly felt like hitting the table. You don’t need to come in.”
After speaking, Luo Ji wore a pained expression.
It was truly expensive as hell!
Given the beastman civilization’s backward development, the price of 65 Conquest Points definitely wasn’t due to the opposing cities.
After all, with such poor development, the cities certainly weren’t worth much.
So, in other words, the high price was precisely because it was a ‘special civilization!’
Luo Ji couldn’t exactly say he couldn’t afford this price.
When he fought the all-out war with Zhou Dongnan previously, he had earned 33 Conquest Points.
Later, he successively fought so many city defense battles.
Additionally, this time he repeatedly repelled the beastman army, and finally even killed Li Yuanjie, allowing him to earn plenty of points.
At this moment, his Conquest Points had already accumulated to 77.
It’s just that with this one click, he’d be back to square one overnight. Enough said, speaking more will only bring tears.
Luo Ji, with a pained expression, clicked confirm, and the system notification immediately sounded again…
[System notification: ‘Civilization Conqueror’ skill effect activated…]
[System notification: Detected that the opposing civilization possesses five cities. Do you wish to consume 10 Conquest Points to confirm the locations of these five cities? If the player chooses to decline, the system will randomly select suitable locations to place these five cities.]
Having already suffered from ‘randomness’ once, why would Luo Ji let the system randomize for him again?
As his finger clicked down, his entire heart felt like it was bleeding.
Conquest Points accumulated over several months, all gone in one go, leaving only 2 points…
And with this decision made, the familiar giant map once again unfolded before his eyes.
Luo Ji was clearly well-versed in this set of operations.
He first clicked open the puzzle pieces representing the five beastman cities to confirm their situations.
“Werewolf Tribe, Minotaur Tribe, Kobold Tribe, Red Fox Tribe, Elephantman Tribe.”
Luo Ji blinked as he looked at these names.
This guy, Li Yuanjie, was even more casual than him when it came to naming things.
However, what Luo Ji didn’t know was that beastmen were different from humans, and their dwelling places were more like tribes than cities.
They were mostly established in the form of ‘tribes,’ beastmen of the same race stayed in the same tribe.
And the names of the tribes were basically named after their respective races, without deliberately choosing other names.
In any case, Luo Ji clearly didn’t have high expectations for these five beastman tribes.
With their development and productivity, how far could they possibly develop?
He simply regarded these five tribes as freebies that came with the purchase of the beastman civilization.
For convenient management, he casually placed them in the empty space between White River City and Iron Wall City.
After confirming the locations and territorial connections, Luo Ji pressed the confirm button.
As the beastman civilization integrated, immediately, various parts of Myriad Worlds Civilization underwent new changes…
