Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 25 Player Ambition and Channel

Li Ang usually thinks about more things at the same time when doing one thing.

This ability came to him after his own system awakened. It was as if the awakening of the system had replaced his identity and the essence of his life.

However, for Leon, this kind of thing would be welcomed, and he would not have any complaints. When he felt the continuous progress of civilization and the feeling of being in control of everything, the changes in himself seemed to become natural.

After all, people have no way of discovering their talents unless they are in that position.

Li Ang used to think that his ability to multitask was more suitable for being distracted in class. He would pretend to listen to the teacher and then complain in his mind. But now with this system, he was not surprised to find that he could manipulate his power for simulation while organizing and analyzing various data.

For example, right now, Li Ang is mobilizing the magic wind in his body. The attention of the God of Wisdom is unexpectedly useful, and can even transform the magic wind in his body into a source state.

In other words, he can now create the existence of magic in this real world where there is no magic at all.

However, this ability means nothing to Leon himself.

He doesn't like the current corrupt and decadent world where people can only rely on other worlds to break out of their cage.

While fiddling with his magic in the room and training his magic power, watching the terrain images light up in the room like galaxies, Li Ang ate the energy bar and opened three forums to compare various data.

The most important one is the paid post released by the leader of the first player guild.

The post used a very sincere tone to describe the current observations of the players and their thoughts on the current environment. For Li Ang, who is still in the early stages of development, it was very useful as a reference.

Of course, the more important reason is that he needs to move his body a little bit now. He has nothing to do at this time, so he might as well move around and read the information at the same time.

'I'm very sorry, the main purpose of charging is to prevent people from causing trouble. After confirming everyone's identity, this fee will be returned.

As for the brothers in desperate situations such as Norsca or the North, the Barren Land and the Sea of ​​Mist, please believe that we will never give up on you. Every player should fight side by side, and we are the most reliable existence in this world.

Okay, enough talking, let's get to the point. What is the dilemma we players are facing now, and why we must build a player's kingdom, or at least a city. Here are my thoughts.'

As Leon sketched the pattern of the psychedelic crystal maze in mid-air, the automatically played forum scrolled, outlining the thoughts of the player leader.

The player's identity in the other world is actually not as impressive as imagined.

For the current players, over the past three years, despite having various advantages, a total of more than 100,000 people have died in this dangerous alien world, and the number is still rising.

The advantage of the player is that, without harming the soul, the player can resurrect at the same place within 24 hours in a self-selected manner. And as long as there is no continuous death or the body itself is destroyed, the player can be resurrected quickly.

Even if the player's body is destroyed, they will have another chance to descend after one year.

This is where the player's immortality comes from.

And every time they descend, every player will randomly get some strange talents.

For example, Li Ang has proficiency in languages, and talents such as dexterity and the ability to use both hands. Currently, the most recognized talent is the power of the dragon, which was possessed by a player two years ago.

Although in a fight on the Norse Claw Coast, this player with the power of a dragon was killed by a Norse beast hunter and his soul was sacrificed to the dark gods, the scene of breaking the giant's thigh with one punch is still talked about with relish. So here, there is actually the problem of the player.

Players certainly have advantages, they can be resurrected and have talents, but they also have great disadvantages.

Because of the random landing, they may not come to the civilized area directly. Sometimes they will even fall to death in mid-air and then be resurrected on the spot.

And without language proficiency, there is no way for words to be understood by each other. Especially in this chaotic world, any unfamiliar face may be regarded as a suspicious robber, and being killed or imprisoned is commonplace.

In addition, players' talents are generally humorous, and in horizontal comparison, most players are even worse than ordinary humans.

如果说玩家的身体素质基础为1，那么这个世界的普通成年人类至少是1.5到2。精灵则是4到6，矮人更是可能达到8到10的级别。

To be precise, the abilities of most human players were not much different from those of the short and insignificant ratmen who could only rely on numbers to win. So in the beginning, it was difficult for players to move around the world.

It was only in recent times that they have gained a foothold in major cities and established the most basic footholds and settlements.

But because of this, players often get some strange secrets and news.

Just like this post in front of you.

'Fellow players, we all know that this world is neither gentle nor beautiful.'

'We have suffered a lot because of the language barrier, and we have encountered a lot of pain and frustration. But now, I have found an opportunity.'

'As we all know, the Norse coast is cold and dangerous, but full of opportunities. There are often many furs and bones in the small fishing villages along the coast. The skins and bones of these giant beasts can be sold in Altdorf and other parts of the world for hundreds of times the difference.'

"But due to the instability of the shipping routes, as well as population and regional power issues, few people can do business in Norsca normally."

'But now, we have our chance!'

'We have found a route that leads to the eastern edge of Norsca! This route passes through the Jagged Mountains and the Terror Sea, and must pass through more than three reef areas to reach it.'

'After more than a year of hard work and help from all walks of life, we were finally recognized by the local Norse tribe and were able to build our city under the local mountains. We can use our own language, our own actions, our own trade, and make our own voice heard in the world! '

"..."

Eastern Edge Coast?

Isn’t that the civilized area in the innermost trade lane of the Frozen Sea?

The civilized people over there even know how to farm. Are they worthy of being called Norsemen?

Besides, isn't that place a good place to live in? There's no Chaos Wasteland or demon army to take advantage of it?

Recalling Ulfric's disdainful explanation at the time, a question mark slowly appeared in Leon's mind as he looked at the post.
