Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Drogo, who hadn't even sat down yet, felt a little confused when he heard the question behind him.

What does "Why can I sit here" mean?
Can't I sit on the chair?

He looked back, wow——

The images of several people are the founding monarch of Sutton, the legendary emperor of Loman, a pope of the church, and a bald man, who should be a young version of Sauron.

When you are out, your identity is given by yourself. It's free to pinch your face anyway, so this is really an exaggeration.

However, it seems that it was modeled after a beautified portrait, but it can't be said to be exactly the same as the original, and it can be said that it is not very related.

So how did Drogo recognize him? Of course it was because he had seen both the real person and the portrait.

Against the backdrop of these beautified celebrity looks, Drogo with his dragon face is really too funny.

When he turned around, the people opposite him were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't hold it anymore.

"puff……"

"Hahaha!"

"No buddy, how did you come up with this image?"

"That's so funny. This is the most distinctive look I've ever seen."

"No, I have to take a picture, okay?"

Several people were chattering, and judging by their excitement, they should not be too old.

"Yes, of course." Drogo did not refuse.

Then we saw the man in the image of the Pope summon a prop that looked like a camera lens, which was fixed in mid-air, and then came over and stood with everyone.

Drogo even cooperated by making a pose and sticking out his tongue.

When you have a dragon-like appearance and make insane movements, it's hard for anyone to remain alert.

It is convenient for subsequent conversation.

This is called tactics.

After taking the photo, Zhuo Ge asked, "What did you say happened to this chair?"

"Oh, these seats are reserved by us. Logically, they should be blocked and other people cannot interact with them. There may be some malfunction again. It's not a big problem. The entire space is being updated recently, and there are all kinds of messy little problems everywhere." Sutton I explained.

"So that's how it is. Sorry, I didn't know that."

Drogo looked at the chair he had just sat on. There was indeed a bank logo on it, indicating that it had been reserved. He hadn't noticed it before and thought it was just a bank stamp.

So is it really a malfunction?
Sutton I sat down at a random seat, but got stuck. "Ah, it's fine again. I thought I could sit anywhere now. When will this update end? This problem of sometimes working and sometimes not working is too serious."

Judging from his tone, he was quite dissatisfied with this matter.

Good again?
Drogo doesn't think that the bug will be fixed suddenly. Even if it can be fixed, it should be run again at least to show his appreciation.

He had a more reasonable guess about this.

Perhaps, it was because the way he connected was different from that of the Soul Ascenders.

He used the genuine solution in the Gods' knowledge base, not the unorthodox method of the Soul Ascenders who captured people to use as computing power.

Then it is very likely that many restrictions in this consciousness space do not work on him.

Now he might be considered a ghost in the consciousness space, or a monster with authority.

"Are you new here?" Emperor Roman suddenly asked, "Why don't you know something as basic as seat reservation?"

"Yes, yes." Drogo really acted like a newcomer who had just arrived and didn't know anything and was a little nervous. "This is my first time entering here today. It's really spectacular here."

"The first time? What about your mentor?" Emperor Roman continued to ask.

It seems that there is a rule among the Soul Ascenders that the first time you join in, you must be accompanied by a mentor.

A little bit bad.

Drogo thought quickly.

He didn't have a mentor, but he accidentally killed a soul ascender.

Oh, have you ever killed someone?
Drogo immediately pretended to be sad. "My mentor was killed by the church's minions. I used the equipment he left behind and figured my way in."

Hearing him say this, these "historical figures" all looked embarrassed.

"Sorry, we don't know."

"My mentor was very kind to me, just like a father to me. However, the evil church found him that day, and he wanted to leave at the most critical moment..."

Drogo continued to exaggerate.

He had already seen that the people in front of him were probably not very mature mentally.

This is a bit of a contrast.

It is obvious that this is an underground sect that is planning such a grand project of artificially creating gods, and its members are not all the cultists who are insidious, evil, and full of weird plans as stereotyped.

On the contrary, there are many people who like famous historical figures, have their own hobbies, are easily fooled, have sympathy, and do not have rich social experience.

After listening to Drogo's story, these people were quite empathetic, especially King Roman who asked the question. He looked regretful and apologetic. I'm afraid that when they dream about this moment tonight, they will get up and slap themselves, lamenting that they are not human beings.

Under the emotional offensive, these people have begun to trust Drogo, and have fulfilled their responsibilities as mentors, starting to explain to Drogo the precautions for entering the Sanctuary of Ascension.

The Soul-Rising Sanctuary is what they call this space of consciousness.

From them, Drogo learned a lot of useful information.

This so-called holy land is a great realm built by dozens of generations of soul-ascending beings.

Aims to build a beautiful world for all ascended souls to live in, even though this world is not real.

Here, they can conduct many experiments that are difficult to conduct in the real world, and have indeed achieved many results.

This was beyond Drogo's expectations. He didn't expect that this space, in addition to being a place for people to dream, could also be used as a simulation platform. It was quite practical.

All ascending souls, after spending a wonderful life in this space, will join the sacred collection.

That is, in that artificial consciousness.

After consciousness is separated from the decaying flesh, it continues to serve as a pioneer and contributes to the cause of soul ascension.

It sounds quite romantic.

So here comes the question.

Soul Ascender, what is the price?

This space is built based on countless humans, tieflings and other lives that are used as brain servers.

The soul raisers called those lives the origin, which did not sound like they were living people in the past, but just a kind of resource.

For this reason, Drogo asked innocently: "What kind of people will become the source, and what kind of people can join the great cause of soul ascension?"

Young Soran answered as a matter of course: "Of course, talented people will join the Ascension Soul, and those without talent will become the Source. The Source is not useless, they are also part of the great Ascension Soul. We should not discriminate against the Source, but thank them for their contributions."

It seems like he is educating the "newcomer" Drogo.

And Drogo, who was playing the role of a newcomer, also cooperated and said that he would definitely thank Jiyuan for his contribution.

I am already speechless.

What an ultimate social Darwinist! Those without talent deserve to be used as raw materials.

How is talent defined and who decides who is talented? The most abstract thing is to thank them for their contributions.

Did they contribute voluntarily? And they put them in the tank, and they still say thank you.

I see, the world is one giant Thanksgiving!

At the same time, Drogo also learned many uses of small functions in the consciousness space.

For example, check personal information.

However, it can only be viewed after the viewer agrees, so it pays great attention to privacy.

And when Drogo was testing it, he discovered that he could see the information without consent.

He really is a permissions freak!
The rules of the Soul Ascender have no effect on the dragon using divine magic!

Then there is a lot he can do here.

After talking about the basics, Drogo asked the question that he had been curious about.

"What does the great update of the Sanctuary mean?"

"Well, because of the attack by the church before, we lost a lot of resources, which caused many of our comrades to encounter difficulties when joining. In order to solve these problems, the great sage decided to expand the sanctuary. This will be the largest expansion in history."

Speaking of this, Sutton I's expression was full of fanatical yearning.

Both for this expansion activity and for the great sage.

Great sage.

He should be the leader of the Soul Ascenders, and the title he gave himself is quite intimidating.

"Does expansion require a lot of genes?" Drogo asked.

"Of course, these are all necessary sacrifices." Still the same hypocritically noble statement.

The so-called source is to help the living dead. Where can we find a large number of living dead?

We can't just blatantly arrest people on a large scale, or the church will slap us in the face.

Therefore, the Ascended Souls need war.

Drogo quickly deduced the answer. War was certainly a good opportunity to create a large number of missing people.

In other words, the Soul Ascender is related to the top management of Loman.

They were eager to start a war, not only to restore the glory of Roman's ancestors, but also to create a large number of human servers.

Or to put it even worse, the emperor of Roman is a soul ascender himself, and the most fanatical one at that. The fundamental goal of this war is to become a human server.

“And after this expansion,” Sutton I said with a somewhat dazed look, “the great cause of soul-raising may see the dawn of hope!”

A ray of hope?
There's no need to ask, with such excitement, the plan to create an artificial god must be successful.

As they talked about this, they finally started to act like fanatical cultists.

Drogo asked in a roundabout way about some more detailed questions, but he didn't know whether they were alert or their level was too low, so they didn't say anything useful about the deeper things.

So Drogo decided to end the topic and ask something more immediate.

For example, since a while ago, more and more people have gathered in this square. What are they doing here?

In just this square, Drogo has almost seen all the famous characters in the history of Pheariṇīn, and the degree of similarity between the characters is positively correlated with their fame.

He even saw several Drogos.

I didn’t expect that most soul raisers are also role-playing enthusiasts.

"Why is everyone here?" Drogo asked curiously.

The young version of Soran smiled and said, "Of course I am here to watch the release of new achievements."

The Pope added: "Every month, everyone will share the new results of the experiments in the sanctuary here, sharing knowledge. People who don't have urgent tasks will come to see the results release."

"Oh, I see."

Come to think of it, the Ascendants and the Church have such a great hatred, yet there are still people playing the role of the Pope. Is this treason?

As the surrounding seats were almost full, the knowledge sharing session officially began.

Drogo declined their offer to reserve a seat for himself and simply sat down on the ground.

Anyway, he was used to sitting on the ground.

I’m also afraid that if I really go to book a seat, some strange “bug” will pop up.

No matter how slow these people are, they should realize by then that he is abnormal.

The press conference not only releases one thing, but also releases the results achieved within this month. Anyone who wants to share can display it directly in the center of the venue and queue up. No appointment is required.

The first person to come up shows a red block that looks a bit elastic.

Drogo estimated that it was something a bit like a large eraser.

"I have developed something that can replace regular food. With this, I only need to eat one piece to meet my food needs for the day."

The demonstrator looked proud.

One piece for a day sounds quite useful, Zhuo Ge thought about it, but he didn't know how it would taste.

He continued, “I discovered that insects actually contain a lot of energy, so I used cockroaches, mealworms, and maggots as raw materials to make this energy gel!”

Okay, now I’m not really interested in knowing what it tastes like.

Drogo hated bugs.

“It has the advantages of being easy to obtain, easy to store, long shelf life, and unpalatable!”

No, why is unpalatable an advantage?

The introducer seemed to be able to hear Drogo's question and gave a direct answer, "Because it tastes bad enough, people won't enjoy the meal. The meal can be compressed to three minutes. In this way, the saved time can be invested in the great cause of soul raising!"

There was a burst of applause at the scene.

Drogo didn't understand. What was there to applaud? Was there something wrong with the Soul Ascender?
If he spends the whole day on some career and then eats this when he gets home, no matter how great the career is, it will still be ruined.

The next introducer brought something obviously more useful. He brought a large model, which looked like a flying saucer, but it ran on wheels and had a circle of holes around it, with many gun muzzles sticking out of it.

"I designed a war weapon, which I call the Box Chariot!"

Afterwards, he began to introduce the advantages of this box-shaped tank, such as protecting the driver, having sufficient firepower, and being able to push down cavalry, etc.

Drogo finally understood that the tank had been developed.

Wait, the tank was developed by the Soul Ascenders, doesn’t that mean that Roman can master it? If it can be produced, doesn’t it also mean that this thing might be seen on the battlefield in the North?

No, we need to research some weapons that can open the tanks.

Take precautions before they happen.

The next person who appeared on the scene brought a much greater shock to Drogo than the tank did.

He was holding a sword, and the shape of the sword looked vaguely familiar.

"I have restored the weapon that appeared in the deciphered memory fragment of Drogo, the Dragon Sword!"

The three characters "Denglong Sword" are still transliterated from Chinese. (End of this chapter)
