Female Swordsman Training Dojo

Enemies of nature, lazy nature, religious opposition, neglect of labor, rebellion...

In short, they don't want to work, they don't want to develop, and they won't dare to offend the great nature—after all, they won't starve! And when petty people don't work hard, or even rebel, the values ​​of various resources naturally plummet, and in the blink of an eye, the area goes from thriving to a sign of impending death.

Unfortunately, this game doesn't have a console or save/load function; it jumps straight into Ironman mode. Furthermore, compared to games with 8+ difficulty, Ideal World focuses more on the characters' thoughts, so if they start slacking off, things get complicated.

The main storyline is stuck.

clear

Chapter 582

Xin remained silent for a long time, then turned to John and asked, "These people have no soul or self at all; they are bodies shaped entirely by magic. How can they be so individualistic? They are not even real bodies that have been drained of faith and soul."

John replied, “Because humans, or rather all intelligent beings, are like this, the Throne of Heaven infuses them with virtual ‘humanity’; that’s why we accept the souls of real believers, using the souls of real humans to simulate them, and the same result gets a higher score.”

The difference between a human-machine interface and a human.

However, since these villains are all...

So in the end, Qingxin gave up, too lazy even to struggle with the divine intervention, letting the little people lie around and do nothing. Until the growth phase was completely over, the trial of natural disasters arrived. Earthquakes and floods came simultaneously, the thick city walls collapsed, farmland was submerged and destroyed, and the little people, after much swaying, finally gave up.

The world has returned to a state of Eden.

“Don’t be discouraged. You just made a mistake that all beginners make,” John comforted Qingxin. “It’s not enough to provide enough resources to create an ideal world. You also have to consider the issue of human nature.”

Qingxin nodded. He naturally knew this theory, but there were always problems in putting it into practice. Regardless, the last game had indeed let the villain become lazy, so how should they start this game?

Harunobu's mind was filled with suggestions from many people. Artoria recommended her perfect Camelot model; Izanami cited the benefits of the Six Paths of Reincarnation; Asuka reminisced about the primitive era; and the well-educated female college students began to imagine utopia.

Finally, Amu Hosho made a suggestion: "Isn't there still a war ahead? I think we should temper these people's fighting spirit. Maybe we could try some ascetic training?"

"Let's do it that way then." Qingxin casually started a new game. This time, he set the resources to be relatively scarce, which, as expected, ignited the fighting spirit of the little people. The Tribal Era passed in an instant, and the National Policy Tree even took the initiative to select itself, directly stepping into the Feudal Era.

However, unlike before when a single large city could accommodate everyone, this land is now dotted with dozens of cities of varying sizes—no, they should be called fortresses. The priority is not comfort or trade, but defense.

At the same time, these fortresses were also strictly divided into classes, with higher classes controlling more resources. Those at the bottom might even starve or freeze to death, while the national policy tree grew wildly in terms of military strength. The result was obvious.

By the time the trials arrived, the little people had already been almost completely wiped out by fighting among themselves. Their scarce resources limited their population, and their focus on warfare and military might prevented them from developing advanced technology. Therefore, it was only natural that even if Qingxin unified the world, they were once again wiped out by natural disasters during the trials.

John smiled, his eyes sweeping over Harunobu and Misuruhime, before speaking again to comfort them, "It's alright, human nature is so fickle. We can guide them, for example, through religion..."

Harunobu glanced at Misuru-hime, then spoke up defiantly, "You damn scoundrels! You think I can't control you?! Let's go again!"

Another world was reshaped. This time, Qingxin set the resources to be moderate—not so much that one could eat one's fill without working, nor so little that one had to devote all their energy to filling one's stomach. Thus, the little people began to slowly develop, and class differentiation reappeared. After all, unless resources were so abundant that they were inexhaustible, a distributing class and a waiting-to-be-distributed class would inevitably emerge.

This time, however, Harunobu adopted John's suggestion and inserted a prophet of God into the tribal era. Out of courtesy, Harunobu did not use the image of Jesus, but instead used a large man with slightly brown skin and added a golden light effect.

Keep it up, you yellow weasel!

This time, development finally returned to normal. Under the strong guidance of the weasel and the deliberate adjustments to national policy by Qingxin, resource allocation became more equitable, and class differences were no longer as pronounced. Furthermore, due to the establishment of religion, the little people gradually acquired certain supernatural powers, and thus naturally developed into a religious state.

Although it feels a bit off-topic, at least things are developing quite well. And although they are called weasels, without the influence of the dung space, the weasels haven't become Nazis; instead, they promote love and peace.

Qingxin seemed quite satisfied, nodding as he gazed at the vast city and farmland, where incense burned and scriptures were chanted everywhere, welcoming the arrival of the trial phase. Earthquakes and floods struck one after another, but neither achieved the devastating effect of the previous two.

The earthquake did nothing to the city of Terra, which was infested with weasels. It only destroyed a small portion of the houses that were not sturdy enough and killed a few unlucky people. The flood was guided and mitigated by ingenious water conservancy facilities. Apart from a very small portion of farmland that could not be adjusted and was flooded, the remaining farmland actually received more convenient irrigation.

The subsequent hurricanes, locusts, and even heavenly fires were successfully overcome thanks to the guidance of the weasel and the unity of the little people. Qingxin finally arrived at the fourth stage for the first time: expansion!

A gentle breeze rippled through the wheat fields, and the third-generation little man, having recovered from the disaster, cheered excitedly, shouting the name of the great god. But the joyous time was always short-lived, for a group of people riding large horses, carrying longbows, and with pointed ears appeared on this land.

After a brief and simple encounter, the number of these outsiders who called themselves forest elves increased rapidly, and their weaponry was also rapidly enhanced. Then, under the unsurprising gaze of Harunobu and the others, these damned pointy-eared creatures launched an invisible war.

In short, the pointy-eared Israelites.

Fortunately, the little devils on Qingxin's side weren't fools. The weasel sensed something was wrong halfway through and began to try to resist. However, the way it resisted instantly turned Qingxin's gratified expression into speechlessness. Its method of resistance was to call on everyone to pray, asking the gods to summon those brutal demons.

No, you should at least pray for the gods to destroy them! So being called a weasel doesn't mean you are that weasel, or is it because you've never been to the warp rebirth pool?

Harunobu silently watched the increasing number of pointed-eared Jews around him, their actions becoming increasingly outrageous, his fists hardening. However, as his aura shifted, a gaze also fell upon them from the pointed-eared group; clearly, these pointed-eared Jews also had a God behind them.

Seeing that Harunobu remained inactive, the pointy-eared god finally couldn't resist taking action. The pointy-eared beings began to drive out Harunobu's little people, plundering and occupying the cities and wonders they had built; finally, they even prepared to massacre them—

Then they were blasted apart by Harunobu's punch.

Chapter 541: A Special Highlight

With a single punch, Harunobu unleashed the power of "Genesis," which naturally amplified his status as "Lord of the World," blasting the pointed-eared Jews who were preparing for a massacre into a frenzy. Whether these people were fabricated beings created by Genesis or genuine human souls, they were all rendered indistinguishable by this single punch.

However, after this punch, the little people on Qingxin's side immediately perked up, feeling that the god had indeed worked. The weasel even cried, muttering some incomprehensible words, such as that it had failed to save everyone.

This makes it even harder to correct the fanatical beliefs of these petty people.

Qingxin felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't regret it. Because one thing is one thing, and there's a difference between natural disasters and man-made calamities; seeking one's own death and being brutally murdered are also different.

On the other side, the pointy-eared warriors, whose army had been largely wiped out by Harunobu's punch, hadn't completely retreated. Instead, they knelt in devout prayer. The deity who had been spying on Harunobu's side swiftly approached, revealing his majestic figure above the pointy-eared warriors. Powerful muscles! Resilient armor! Sharp swords! An endless army of heroic spirits!

This is the Lord of All Armies!

Who could withstand such a powerful figure! The world still...

Chapter 583

Who could resist that!

The pointy-eared god gazed smugly at his enemy. He knew perfectly well that he was facing a novice, and one who seemed rather impatient and irritable; otherwise, he wouldn't have used his divine power to interfere in his followers' battle. This was entirely detrimental; it seemed he was poised for another resounding victory…

His gaze lingered on Harunobu, then quickly became unsteady and trembling, revealing a mixture of surprise and tension. Especially when his unsteady gaze fell upon John standing to the side, the pointy-eared god instantly snapped back to reality, turning and vanishing from the spot.

Harunobu, who was ready to draw his sword, released the hilt of his sword speechlessly, watching the pointy-eared Jews cry out for their fathers and mothers, turning into starlight that scattered into his world.

God surrendered voluntarily, so the battle was naturally considered a victory for Harunobu. These losers would then become nourishment for Harunobu's world, raising the upper limit of his ability to shape the world.

John opened his mouth to say something, but Harunobu had already clicked "restart," muttering, "Ugh, building a civilization is such a hassle~"

Misuruhime, who had been observing from the sidelines, flickered her beautiful eyes slightly and then said, "Why don't you let me give it a try?"

Harunobu had been waiting for these words, and immediately turned around and pulled Misuruhime back to where he had been sitting: "No problem, it's all yours now!"

Misuru-hime couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly. Harunobu's acting was far too exaggerated; he clearly wasn't trying to fool anyone!

Okay, she had to admit, she was initially fooled by Qingxin. But when Qingxin established the second world, she realized she couldn't believe Qingxin was so stupid or extreme. To reduce resources to the bare minimum when they're too abundant—how could someone knowledgeable in Marxism do something like that!

This is clearly an act, a deliberate show of weakness!

Misuruhime could guess Harunobu's intentions; it was, of course, for her sake. To be precise, it was to protect her pride. After all, ever since entering this damned secluded world, she had basically been playing the role of a burden, needing Harunobu's help at every turn.

Her combat skills couldn't be developed quickly; her only redeeming qualities were years of political and administrative experience, and perhaps some extensive experience in building ideal worlds. That's why Harunobu deliberately acted as if he wasn't good at these things, just so she could be of help.

No, it should be to make her think that she can help, so that she won't complain and become a burden.

Misuru-hime didn't know how to react to this situation. All she knew was that at least she didn't dislike Harunobu's care... Well, she admitted that she enjoyed Harunobu's care. It was better than being ignored by Harunobu, right?

So, whatever other plans Harunobu may have, she will do her best to design a perfect utopia! This will help Harunobu get closer to that Heavenly Throne and return to the mortal world as soon as possible... Hmm, maybe we should hold a wedding ceremony then, since the previous wedding was interrupted and can't really be considered complete.

Harunobu looked at Misuru-hime and was not surprised to find that she had seen through his act, since it wasn't exactly clever to begin with. To be honest, even if he had directly copied the various policies and methods from his past life's memories, he wouldn't have failed so miserably, but he didn't do that.

There are reasons for this, and yes, it does include the part about winning over Misuru-hime—he's not some saint who can remain unmoved by a woman's advances, so of course he wants to win over the idealistic princess with long, straight black hair and beautiful, straight legs!

But there was another reason: he didn't believe that creating an ideal world would help him escape this secluded place. No, he didn't suspect John was lying to him, but did John truly have complete control over everything in this secluded world?

Impossible, because he wasn't even the master of this secluded world, not even the temporary master. And based on the information Qingxin already had, he found it hard to believe that this secluded world was really that simple.

The fact that different "gods" were being made to fight each other made Harunobu think it was like someone was raising a treacherous snake.

So he decided to try another way to leave, a method he had conceived since the first time he eroded the world's barrier. However, to carry out this plan, he would need Misuru's help.

Harunobu looked at Misuru, who was already standing firmly in front of the light screen, his gaze trusting. He had indeed been acting, but one thing was true: he believed that Misuru could truly create a utopia—perhaps imperfect, but at least far superior to these ridiculous worlds of capitalism and even feudal religion!

The author says:

Author's Note: Update progress 15/30. The AI ​​translation for Brave Warriors R is out, now I have to play it. But the remake of Red Dead Redemption 1 is out too, time is running out...

Chapter 541: Princess Misuru's Talent (3000 words)

The light screen unfolded, and Misuruhime skillfully manipulated the system, controlling the initial two hundred miniatures to begin basic construction. Because Harunobu had successfully defeated an opponent and gained a significant boost, in addition to the initial population, the resources available for world creation had also increased. Misuruhime unhesitatingly maxed out all these stats, making this world truly a promised land flowing with milk and honey.

John was somewhat surprised. He had thought that after Harunobu's demonstration, Misuruhime would perform better, but how did she end up falling into the same trap as Harunobu? Or was she doing it on purpose, so as not to steal Harunobu's thunder?

John didn't realize that Misuru-hime already knew Harunobu was acting, nor did he realize that Harunobu already knew that Misuru-hime knew he was acting. Therefore, he didn't discover that the couple was working together to portray him.

Although it was said to be an act, neither Harunobu nor Misuruhime had any malicious intent. In fact, Misuruhime didn't deliberately feign weakness; instead, she acted swiftly, revealing the reason why she dared to pull in more resources than Harunobu initially did.

Under her guidance, the initial little people found resource points, but all the little people who tried to collect the resources on their own failed. A single grapevine that could feed ten people possessed matching resilience; one person's strength was simply insufficient to harvest it, and the combined efforts of many were necessary.

Naturally, under the guidance of the weasel number two controlled by Misuru-hime, the little people united. Each group of six or seven people could gather enough resources for about ten people. This hard work that required everyone's cooperation naturally fostered a sense of "laziness" among the little people, so they began to store food and distribute it according to their contribution.

Gradually, each small group developed its own class system, but the differences were not significant. With the help of the second weasel's propaganda, the overall atmosphere remained friendly, and a series of divisions of labor such as gathering, hunting, and smoking slowly emerged, propelling the tribal era forward rapidly.

John nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "The level is so-so, but the idea of ​​using the difficulty of acquisition to constrain excessively abundant resources and prevent complacency caused by unearned gains is something worth learning from."

While John was giving his comments, the little ones strode confidently into the second stage. Misuru-hime turned her head to look at Harunobu, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a captivating charm. She had discovered that Harunobu had deliberately left many of his abilities unused, for example…

Misuru opened the diplomacy system, displaying the seven city-states established by the little people. As the controller, she could easily manipulate each city-state for diplomatic interactions. If Harunobu had used this earlier, the second barren world wouldn't have been reduced to a single power due to internal strife.

really...

Misuru-hime muttered softly, seemingly complaining, but her voice was actually light and cheerful, as if she had eaten honey.

Harunobu looked completely innocent: "I actually only came up with this idea after the failure of the Barren World, and then I couldn't use it the third time."

Misuru nodded instinctively, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

In short, during the second phase of the city-state era, Princess Misuru suddenly changed her previous frequent and subtle behavior.

Chapter 584

Damn it, they then allowed the little people to govern themselves. As a result, the little people, who were originally tending to be unified, gradually developed different cultures due to geographical differences.

Mountain city-states and coastal city-states; grassland city-states and desert city-states; tropical city-states and frigid city-states; there were even city-states with different beliefs. With so many differences, conflicts and frictions naturally arose among the city-states, which gradually escalated into small-scale battles, and war seemed imminent.

But just when it seemed like war was inevitable, the seven city-states surprisingly calmed down. This wasn't just because Misuru had used the diplomatic system, but also because they realized that war was far worse than peace! Once war broke out, each city-state would lose a crucial portion of its resources—resources that could only be obtained from other city-states!

John thought to himself with admiration: "By utilizing the resource allocation that shaped the world, the specialties and strengths of each city-state were predetermined; and over a long period of time, they were allowed to get used to each other, so that when war was about to break out, they found that they could not afford even the temporary losses during the war."

"However, this can't last forever. After all, humanity cannot tolerate important interests being in the hands of others. It might even lead to a larger-scale and more ruthless war later on..."

John was thinking to himself when he suddenly realized something and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Trials! She even included trials in her calculations!"

As Princess Misuru finished her turn, the ripe fruit was met with earthquakes and floods. Under this horrific natural disaster, the individual city-states could not cope on their own. The seven city-states, already closely connected and based on their previously discovered consensus, united to form an alliance to fight against the natural disaster.

Abundant resources endowed these city-states with a rich foundation. Although the second Yellow Weasel did not unify the world in the name of religion this time, it still successfully withstood wave after wave of natural disasters. Under the persecution of this powerful external enemy, the seven city-states, which had gradually separated, finally reunited and became a new kingdom.

As the Seven Cities Kingdom regained its former glory, a white caravan appeared on Qingxin's land. Naturally, the expansion phase began.

Harunobu and John concealed their presence to avoid scaring away their seemingly weak opponent, and both looked at Misuruhime. Misuruhime frowned, watching the white caravan that had arrived in the city. They looked like a normal merchant caravan, selling exotic goods from a "distant kingdom," attracting quite a crowd.

Soon, the white caravan sold their exotic goods and began to relax. Meanwhile, the three men with a godlike perspective were observing them gathering intelligence through various means. However, learning from the lessons of the city-state era, these little men were not so "innocent" this time. These white men, indeed merchants, were also spies, and they failed to achieve their goal.

They went back dejectedly.

Then, even more caravans flocked to the cities of the Seven Cities Kingdom, bringing with them a large quantity of goods that the kingdom lacked. These novel products immediately brought them substantial profits. However, as "foreigners," everything they took would obviously not return to Qingxin. Even though they did provide goods, aside from their exorbitant markups, most of what they offered were novel luxury items rather than practical goods—clearly a strategy to weaken the Seven Cities Kingdom!

John looked at Misuru with concern. He knew that Misuru was also the current Prime Minister of Japan, but being Prime Minister didn't necessarily mean one was an expert in financial and economic affairs. Besides, the prestige of the Japanese Prime Minister's position was more about bloodline than ability.

So, can she handle the economic war? Can she successfully complete the expansion and reach the cycle stage? At this point, shouldn't we let Taira no Harunobu use his invincible power of corruption to quietly end the opponent's actions?

John couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, the reason he wanted to cooperate with Harunobu and help him build his ideal world was precisely to glimpse the power of the world's destroyer!

Under John's tense gaze, Misuruhime's operating speed suddenly increased. One command after another was conveyed by her through the weasel in different ways; one policy after another was issued or suggested through the National Policy Tree, or through the weasel, or even through dreams of gods.

These orders and policies, when put together, created a spectacle that left John in awe! Because, with Misakuhime's manipulation, the caravans began paying fees the moment they stepped into the Seven Cities Kingdom.

That's not just a simple, crude tax collection; it's neither the ideal world Misuru envisions nor in line with the mainstream ideology of this version of the villains. Therefore, in addition to tariffs, Misuru also provides special services for foreign merchants—the best hotels, transportation, etc. Charging you for these services isn't unreasonable, is it? You can even use goods as collateral for discounts and exemptions!

Meanwhile, Princess Meihe also used the yellow weasel and policies to adjust the fashion trends and market of the Seven Cities Kingdom, rapidly iterating the fashionable trends on the market and suppressing the value of goods on the other side; at the same time, she vigorously reformed the country's luxury goods, changing the original money-goods exchange to a barter system of luxury goods for luxury goods.

Trading trendy trash for trendy trash—it's a good deal.

But the services enjoyed by caravan members in the Seven Cities Kingdom, and the goods they personally purchase, are all paid for with real money—after all, the amount of goods they can carry is limited!

John was truly impressed. It sounded easy, but even with the help of this strange assistant cobbled together by Harunobu, figuring out the value of all the goods in a kingdom within such a short time and adjusting accordingly; developing a special service process for dealing with foreign merchants and arranging for them to use it as much as possible; and paying special attention to the characteristics of each caravan, assigning corresponding merchants to promote local goods to them…

This requires not only meticulous attention and quick reflexes, but also an extreme sensitivity and mastery of numbers. Without the ability to calculate complex numbers and find the correct answers at an extraordinary speed, such frequent operations will only lead to numerous blunders.

John was utterly impressed. He probably couldn't learn that trick; after all, even if he were God, if he couldn't do math, he simply couldn't… No, it wasn't even a math problem! He could solve difficult math problems, but that didn't mean he could solve a dozen or even dozens of difficult math problems in a second!

But Misuruhime seems to be able to do it very easily... Is that why Taira no Nobu is so confident?

While John was marveling at himself because of Misuru-hime, Harunobu was not surprised. He had already added Misuru-hime to his list of disciples, and naturally he had also seen the princess's SSR-level talent, [Ideal Calculator].
