Chapter 584: Yong Ding

From the moment he first obtained the design blueprint for the “Yong Ding” until now.

The Armament Department had already produced more than a dozen finished versions.

From the excitement and anticipation of the first few attempts.

To emotions gradually cooling down later on, until everything became calm and uneventful.

It could only be said that he had endured an extremely long wait.

Now that he heard the system’s notification sound.

Luo Ji’s first reaction was to let out a long, heavy breath.

A huge weight lifted off his shoulders!

Compared to wild joy, what he felt more was relief.

It was finally made!

The manufacturing difficulty of a four-star Artificial Wonder really wasn’t just talk.

Fortunately, there were still quite a few craftsmen in his Armament Department who had previously built the “Xu Ding.”

Even with similar experience to rely on, forging this “Yong Ding” had still taken an absurdly long time.

That was truly no easy feat.

After generously rewarding the craftsmen.

Luo Ji took a few quick steps forward, swiped his fingertip, and pulled open the attribute panel of the “Yong Ding.”

[Name: Yong Ding

Type: Bronze Ware, Artificial Wonder

Rank: Four-Star

Description: One of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons, the Yong Ding symbolizes supreme royal authority and a unified, prosperous nation.

Effect: The holder of this wonder gains a fixed 400 Civilization Points per day. Within the effect range, the development speed of all cities under the holder’s command increases by 20%.]

In terms of effects, it was exactly the same as the Xu Ding.

However, that massive coverage-area development speed buff was more than enough to justify the manpower, material resources, and time he had invested.

According to Luo Ji’s way of thinking as a hardcore veteran player.

The “Nine Tripod Cauldrons” should definitely have a set bonus.

However, after crafting the second tripod, the Yong Ding, there didn’t seem to be any system notification triggering an effect.

After checking the attribute panel again, there were no new changes either.

“No two-piece set effect. Looks like I need to collect three pieces before part of the set bonus activates?”

After mulling over this conclusion for a while.

Luo Ji ordered his men to carefully move the “Yong Ding” to the place specially designated for housing the Nine Tripod Cauldrons.

With the current buff range of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons.

Even placing them all in one spot was enough to cover his entire Myriad Worlds Civilization.

There was simply no need to waste effort on further placement.

At the same time, on the other side…

Ever since changing owners, Yellow Sand City had not been idle at all.

Large numbers of construction teams, engineering teams, and geological survey teams continuously poured in, making Yellow Sand City exceptionally lively during this period.

Those green-skinned little fellows known as Goblins drew the attention of every citizen in Yellow Sand City.

What shocked them the most, however, was that these Goblins were actually discussing issues they couldn’t understand at all with the humans who came along, and doing so quite seriously.

This scene looked unexpectedly harmonious.

Facts proved that after some time.

Within Myriad Worlds Civilization, the relationship between the Human race and the Goblins developed extremely smoothly.

The intimacy level between the two sides had already reached the “Friendly” stage.

In the past, construction teams and engineering teams were divided into Human and Goblin units, with the two races clearly separated.

But now, there was no longer any distinction between Human construction teams and Goblin construction teams.

Faced with the enormous volume of projects within Myriad Worlds Civilization, they had long since been mixed together.

A single construction team having both Goblins and Humans was nothing unusual anymore.

Except for the newly arrived desert natives.

No one in Myriad Worlds Civilization found this strange at all.

Naturally, Luo Ji was extremely satisfied with this phenomenon.

If only the Beastmen could achieve the same, that would be great.

Unfortunately, that was clearly a luxury.

Why were the Goblins able to integrate so quickly with the Human race?

Why did this even lead to the social integration of two major civilizations?

Ultimately, there were two reasons.

The first reason was that the Goblins were not ferocious.

Goblin civilization excelled in technology and technical expertise. In other words, they were a bunch of “intellectuals!”

When everyone is an intellectual, there is naturally common ground, making communication much easier.

The second reason was that the Goblins were able to help Humans in many areas.

In the field of construction and engineering, Goblins could be seen everywhere.

In the commercial sector, Goblin merchants were also well-known within Myriad Worlds Civilization for being good at business.

Beyond that, Goblins could be found in geological survey institutes, ore research institutes, military equipment research departments, and civilian equipment R&D departments.

These contributions were plainly visible.

Under the premise that they were confirmed to be relatively harmless and capable of providing massive assistance to Humans.

The integration of the two societies naturally proceeded extremely smoothly.

It didn’t even require Luo Ji to do much at all.

By contrast, the Beastmen were a different story.

Although they had arrived even earlier than the Goblins.

Human society and Beastman society were like two parallel lines, with very little intersection.

The defining characteristic of Beastman civilization was its powerful war potential!

But within Myriad Worlds Civilization, there had actually been peace for many years.

Luo Ji’s strength had grown like a rolling snowball.

At this point, among players of the same tier, very few could break through his border defenses.

Over time, this caused the people within Myriad Worlds Civilization to lose any deep sense of war.

Naturally, it became difficult for them to truly feel how the Beastmen were helping them.

Although under Luo Ji’s carefully orchestrated, opera-style propaganda.

The Human race’s perception of the Beastmen had improved somewhat.

Nowadays, in workplaces like logging camps and mining sites, one could more or less see the presence of Beastmen.

But compared to the level of integration achieved by Goblin civilization, the gap was still far too large.

However, Luo Ji was very clear in his heart.

This was absolutely not because the Beastmen were integrating slowly.

It was because the Goblins were integrating far too quickly.

The perspective returned to the Audience Hall of Mirror City.

Looking at the report in his hand, the opera troupe’s touring performances had officially come to an end.

The results could be described as extremely ideal.

While reporting the outcomes to Luo Ji, they also asked what they should do next.

Within Myriad Worlds Civilization, opera was still in its infancy.

Letting them immediately write their own scripts and perform them on their own.

That would obviously end in disaster.

The hard-earned reputation they had finally built could not be smashed like that.

No matter what, they had to produce several classic operas first, to set the stage and stabilize the development of the opera industry.

As such, Luo Ji had long since decided what the second opera would be.

For the second opera, he would perform “Romeo and Juliet!”

Coincidentally, its central theme also fit to a certain extent.

On the male lead’s side, Romeo would be changed into a Wolfman family.

As for everything else, they could just perform it as written.

After the script was distributed.

The actors who already had opera performance experience picked it up extremely quickly this time.

When Luo Ji went to inspect the rehearsals for the first time.

Before he even said anything, the actors had already trained themselves into a decent shape based on their previous experience.

Sure enough, each and every one of them had quite a bit of artistic talent.

This could be considered the official foundation for the opera industry of Myriad Worlds Civilization.
