Offer blocks to the end times

Now let's talk about restoring normal order.

"Who are you?!" Upon reaching the stands, the players regained their ability to speak. Instead of sitting down, they prepared to surround Senju. "Did you transport us to this world?!"

"Quiet!" Rem stepped forward and said calmly, her immense dragon aura instantly crushing all the players to the ground. "No disrespect before your master!"

"..." The group of guild leaders were all speechless. They had hundreds of people, yet they couldn't even defeat a single maid from the other side. It seemed they had no choice but to obey.

"Alright, everyone, please take your seats," the man said with a wave of his hand, and the players found themselves sitting down without even realizing it. Then they saw the man on the stage take down a notice that was hanging on one side. "Now let's discuss some feasible regulations. After we've discussed them, we'll add the regulations here, and then everyone will sign them. After that, we'll rely on this for supervision."

"What is this chess piece?" someone couldn't help but ask. The Thousand Hands shimmered with light. "Oh, this is a special game item, the Investiture of the Gods. Have you heard of it? Once you sign the treaty and put your name on it, you will be absolutely unable to resist. It was originally used to recruit NPCs, but now it can also be used to sign contracts. In addition, it can be used to assign positions to the Earthlings."

"..." Hearing Thousand Hands' words, everyone was somewhat bewildered. What kind of prop was this? They had been playing the game for over a decade, and there was no such prop here! Also, who wanted to be on the Investiture of the Gods?! That name was too unlucky!

"Alright, everyone, let's start discussing," Senju said, looking at the group of people. Everyone was silent, seemingly understanding the doctrine of the mean. So Senju took out a stack of books. "How about we make the regulations according to existing laws?"

"Uh," everyone's faces fell. Follow real-world laws? How could they possibly abide by real-world laws in a game?! Did they think fighting monsters was legal?! They couldn't help but lament, "Well, we don't know how to say it either. How exactly should we implement the treaty to restore order?"

"Well, let's make a three-point agreement," Thousand Hands thought for a moment and raised his finger. "First, adventurers must not arbitrarily disrupt the normal operation of social order; second, adventurers must not arbitrarily harm the rights and interests of the people of the land; third, um, what do you think the third point should be?"

Seeing the other party looking over, the players felt a chill. The first two rules restricted adventurers, and they needed to think carefully about the third rule. So, they immediately started arguing. First, they kicked out the rule that "murder and robbery are not illegal." Then, the guild leader who said "adventurers must be superior" was also happily trampled underfoot by everyone.

After intense 'negotiations,' the group came up with a third condition: adventurers would have partial exemptions and priority in choosing positions. They also requested that there be no emperor here, and that they would establish a joint council to manage the city.

“Is that so?” After printing several ‘rules’ onto the notice board, Thousand Hands tapped it, and countless copies and pens appeared in the hands of many players. “Please sign, everyone. You can choose not to sign, but the price is that you will be unable to use any adventurer equipment and gear, and your adventurer status will be revoked.”

"Why didn't you just say it was mandatory?" Countless players rolled their eyes, but still obediently signed their names. No one refused to sign; they were still frightened by the lightning tribulation scene just now. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Besides, these rules weren't unreasonable; they were just ordinary and basic requirements.

Chapter 1931 Struggle for Power and Profit

"Not bad," Thousand Hands nodded as everyone finished signing. Countless copies of the notice instantly returned, and the notice shone brightly before flying into the air. "From now on, I hope everyone will abide by the law and not act recklessly or disrupt social harmony."

"..." The players rolled their eyes, then listened as Thousand Hands continued, "I will set up ten department stores in Yandu, which will sell all kinds of modern products, hoping to help everyone restore a modern society."

"Wait, do you know how to return to the real world?" Seeing that Senju was about to adjourn the meeting, someone finally couldn't help but ask. Senju waved his hand, "Maybe I do, but not now. Next, let's discuss how to establish a management organization. I don't want things to remain chaotic here until we get back. You guys can discuss this slowly. I'll talk to the officials of those Earthlings."

After saying that, Thousand Hands looked at the group of Earthlings standing to one side and pointed to the notice floating on the side, "Next, it's your turn. Look here, as long as you sign here, you can get a powerful level and equipment. However, after signing, you must abide by the law, enforce the law fairly, and perform your duties, otherwise you will lose this power."

"Uh..." The players watching felt like complaining. The Investiture of the Gods, is this going to establish a new Heavenly Court? However, the players were also a bit tired of the chaotic order. Having a powerful management organization wouldn't be bad.

"Wait, what about His Majesty?" a man from the earth shouted, but was stopped by a dignified and refined-looking old man who bowed slightly. "Thank you, Immortal Lord, for your willingness to restore order. We are willing to sign."

"A Celestial Lord, huh?" Thousand Hands muttered a slight complaint. "Celestial Lord" was actually the name used on the Chinese server for ancient species; the Emerald Knights, who guarded this server, were all immortals and fairies. However, this former emperor was quite tactful, saying, "You're not bad."

But the emperor shouldn't exist anymore, hmm.

"Looking at me now, I'm hardly an emperor. I just hope the Immortal Lord will bring peace to the world," the old man said with a bitter smile. A few months ago, when the adventurers broke into the palace, he realized that he had no power to hold onto his current position. If he didn't obediently cling to a powerful figure, he would be in a very bad situation in the future.

Moreover, if he speaks softly now, the other party won't treat him unfairly. After thinking for a moment, Qian Shou nodded, "Since you call me Immortal Lord and are willing to give up the throne, then I will guide you to become an immortal."

With a wave of his hand, the old emperor's status bar changed rapidly, transforming him into a level 100 Taoist priest, and his equipment also changed. "As long as you don't do anything to go back on your word, you don't need to worry about losing your power."

"Thank you, Immortal Lord," the old emperor opposite him said with a grateful bow. The group of earthlings watching were very envious. Thinking about the hardships they had endured these past few days, they all signed the list on the side and then saw that their status had changed dramatically.

Seeing this change, Senju nodded. In fact, this was a last resort. In Japan, as long as you have a title, even a level one noble can command the respect of a level 90 adventurer. That's traditional culture, a strict system passed down for thousands of years. Plus, most of the players are shut-ins and don't really have much of a competitive spirit, so the two sides can barely get along.

But here, the saying "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?!" says it all. Since we lack the power to maintain order, then don't blame us for overthrowing the dynasty and creating a new one.

Unfortunately, the players still lacked experience in governance. After months of chaos, the farce seemed endless. Now, Thousand Hands had dealt with the Earthlings here, sending them down with a bunch of official appointment notices to distribute and restore order. Meanwhile, the guild leaders over there were still arguing about the number of votes their guilds should receive, since different numbers of members should correspond to different vote counts. But the smaller guilds disagreed.

Thousand Hands rolled his eyes. In this group, the majority of people were from small guilds. As soon as the leaders of the big guilds spoke, the leaders of the small guilds vehemently objected. It seemed that they had been bullied badly before and wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate. However, the leaders of the big guilds would definitely not agree to the condition of one vote per guild.

"Alright, since you can't come up with anything, let's continue with the original game rules." Before anyone could react, Qian Shou waved his hand, and all the players were teleported out. Looking at the empty hall, he clapped his hands again, and the place returned to its solemn state.

Then, Senju and Rem flew away in a beam of light. The level 100 Taoist priest who remained behind changed his expression. "Damn it, damn it, the Jade Knights, damn it, adventurers! With this immortal power, I—no! I will definitely reclaim the world and become the greatest emperor of all time!"

But as soon as he finished speaking his harsh words, his cultivation level exploded, and he returned to being a level 5 emperor. The Thousand Hands in the sky just glanced at him and thought, "You reap what you sow. Do you think you're a fool?"

Unfortunately, his opposition to the restoration of order on this side caused some trouble. Looking at the players, they were also noisy and complaining to each other, but no one dared to make a move. Everyone guessed that the good and evil value was related to behavior, but this could not go on. Boiling resentment was not what Thousand Hands needed.

"Let me guide them," Thousand Hands said, snapping his fingers lightly after looking around. One player, seeing the Earthling next to him, suddenly felt the other might need help, so he went to help clean up the mess. After finishing, he checked his Good and Evil points. "Huh? My Good and Evil points increased by three points? Now it's twenty points. I got a buff, Good Deeds, 10% less experience required to level up? 10% more all attributes? That's amazing!"

"What? What?" After asking a few questions, the surrounding players, who had been complaining, instantly transformed into righteous gentlemen. "Hey, ma'am, leave this here and let me move it for you! Oh? Uncle, who knocked over your stall? I'll get revenge for you! Ah, it was me! I'm so sorry, so sorry, I apologize!"

Driven by 'profit', most players instantly turned into busy little bees, flying around to help, looking very enthusiastic. But Qian Shou knew very well that these players wouldn't bother doing anything without benefit.

However, some players complained that the negative good/evil value didn't provide any bonus. With a wave of his hand, ten enormous bolts of lightning descended from the sky, and huge modern buildings rose from the ground at the point of impact—these were the department stores.

Chapter 1932 Guidance

After completing the department store, Thousand Hands continued to look down. After a day and a night, the city's security situation had improved considerably, but there were still many troublesome things. Some players were quite 'clever,' accumulating good points before committing evil deeds, or accumulating good deeds after committing too many evil deeds.

"Seriously, a bunch of guys who refuse to submit to others. Those Japanese otaku are too easy to manage," Senju sighed, looking at the changes in the city. Everyone being like a dragon is good, but without proper guidance, it will cause great chaos.

Sitting cross-legged on the rooftop, Qian Shou pondered what to do. Although restoring the original dynasty's rule was the most practical approach, he didn't want to do that, and the players didn't want an emperor suddenly appearing above their heads.

As for other modern political systems

The Earthlings, who make up the vast majority of the population, don't understand or adapt to this. In the end, it might cause even greater unrest. "Tsk, should we adopt a laissez-faire approach? Hmm, it seems feasible. With legal regulations in place, there shouldn't be any problems. As for basic infrastructure projects, companies can handle them. The production-oriented guilds here can switch to other businesses and charge for the facilities they produce. As for combat-oriented guilds, they can make money by fighting monsters. As for patrolling the city, let the Earthlings handle that."

"And then there's the matter of good and evil values. Those who 'brushed' must die! Let's set up hidden values. Good and evil values ​​are calculated separately in secret. Even if the total value is positive, if the evil value reaches a certain level, all levels will be reduced, and the ability to level up will be blocked. Each death will require a year in prison. However, if the good value reaches a certain level and no hidden evil value appears, they will receive the 'Acting on Behalf of Heaven' buff, which allows them to enforce the law and obtain a projection of a divine artifact. Beyond a certain level, the ten people with the highest good values ​​will control the artifact itself."

While making adjustments to himself, Qian Shou took out ten divine artifacts, such as the Pangu Axe and the Eastern Emperor Bell. He had seen many such famous artifacts in the game worlds he had visited.

After another day of adjustments, Qian Shou finally got everything sorted out. Then, a dialog box popped up in front of players across the country: "Notification of Good and Evil Value System Upgrade, Notification of Artifact System Launch. Please click to view details."

"Damn it, what's going on with this world?!" Countless people roared inwardly as they looked at the pop-up dialog box. However, Thousand Hands stared in astonishment at the divine artifact before him. The Eastern Emperor Bell had turned into light and flown away. Now, a player's goodwill value had actually reached the permitted level? It was truly astonishing.

With a wave of his hand, the other nine divine artifacts vanished into the void. Thousand Hands looked towards the landing point of the Eastern Emperor Bell, which was in Central Asia. In reality, it should be Kazakhstan, but in this game, it was the Chinese server area. The Eastern Emperor Bell was now floating in front of a young girl.

Clicking on the void, the other party's information appeared in front of Thousand Hands: ID: Kanami, LV: 90, Class: Martial Artist, Sub-class: Seven Ranks Breaker, Oral Skill: One Instant Thousand Strikes, Initial Server: Western Europe Server.

"Uh," Senju was speechless for a moment when looking at the information. However, the other party's appearance was obviously that of an Asian girl. She had long black hair, half of which was braided. She was wearing boxing gloves, which were the equipment of a martial artist. Her clothes were a white hot top and hot pants, with her belly exposed, but she was wearing long socks. Overall, she looked very lively.

She did have companions, and looking at their information, Senju was speechless. One was Elias Hackblad, a level 100 swordsman from the Crimson Branch Knights, one of the Thirteen Knight Orders, and the other was Leonardo dressed as a green Ninja Turtle. This one was even more impressive, coming from the North American server. Senju didn't know how to comment on such a combination.

After obtaining the Eastern Emperor Bell, Kanami—well, let's just call her Kanami—was wandering around aimlessly when a bunch of fiery monsters that appeared in front of her were instantly blasted to pieces by the sonic waves. "Wow! Such powerful equipment!"

"Um, I don't think this is equipment from the game," the green-clad player next to him complained, tapping the panel in front of him. "Seriously, this is a bit late. If it had appeared earlier, Big Apple wouldn't have rioted."

"Big Apple?" Qian Shou was puzzled for a moment. After searching for a while, he realized that it was New York in the game. As for the riot, after a careful search, Qian Shou learned that it happened on Children's Day. The dissatisfaction of many players with the food finally reached its peak. The irritable players started endless PK and fighting. The once prosperous city was turned into ruins and countless players fled from it.

This side isn't sorted out yet, and Thousand Hands won't be concerned with either side for the time being. However, New York has been struck by lightning countless times, so I don't know the current situation. But I should install the artifact system on every server.

Looking at the Japanese servers, they're indeed decked out in the three sacred treasures: the sword, mirror, and jewel; the Korean servers, well, only the big stick and the small stick; the Russian servers, with their infinite goblets, golden AKs, and so on; the Nordic servers, with Gungnir, Levadin, and the like; the Western European servers, with the Sword in the Stone, Avalon, and the like; the Eastern European servers...

It took Qian Shou an hour just to come up with information about these server-related artifacts. For the ones he couldn't think of, he just made up a few.

After finishing all that, Thousand Hands went to the various production guilds and gave them a material reconstruction machine and a bunch of scientific data. A group of players who had read a lot of online novels started rebuilding civilization there. When other players found out, they joined in one after another, and the order improved immediately. However, there were still many complaints and doubts in private. After all, it was a big operation, and it was understandable that they suspected Thousand Hands was the mastermind. Besides, complaining didn't deduct points.

Ten days later, Senju felt it was about time for him to leave. Damn it, these bastards had built a player community, which was now electrified and networked. It just didn't have much information online, so some people started writing novels, drawing comics, and doing live streams. Some of the smarter ones even found a memory uploader in the data and uploaded the TV shows, anime, books, and so on they hadn't needed Senju's guidance at all.

Speechless

Thousand Hands then went to other cities to promote this model. The next city was 'Dadu', located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It looked quite desolate there, with countless traces of lightning. However, the order here was quite good. It seems that electrotherapy was very effective.

Chapter 1933 Buying and Selling Servers

After learning a little, Qian Shou discovered that there were originally three major forces here, occupying some important facilities and locked in a stalemate. Unfortunately, after the lightning strike a dozen days ago, everyone made a perfect transformation, turning their attention to how to obtain good points. Several people here have already obtained the phantom of a divine artifact, and after a little experimentation, they easily killed high-level bosses.

Then, when someone here tries to do evil, someone jumps out to stop them, because this earns them good points. Such righteous behavior is very pleasing to the eye. But after coming here, Thousand Hands saw seventy or eighty similar things in no time. How could he not know that something was amiss?!

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Thousand Hands is powerless. Some people really know how to exploit loopholes, letting a group of people commit evil deeds, while he intervenes to stop them, thereby gaining a large amount of good points. One person stopped more than thirty evil deeds in an hour, leaving Thousand Hands speechless.

Rubbing his head, Qian Shou can only say that Chinese server players have a broader mindset. Here, players have already discovered how to cook. After all, who doesn't know how to stir-fry a dish? Exploiting loopholes and finding bugs is instinctive for Chinese server players.

However, Senju didn't know how to deal with such behavior. Logically, he should deal with it seriously, but in fact, there were too many such incidents, and he felt that taking action himself would have a very bad impact.

After sitting on the rooftop for a while, watching that 'hypocrite' player politely help up the old man who had been kicked, tidy up the overturned stall, and even repair the broken door next to him, his goodness value rapidly increased. There were a group of players nearby who wanted to do something, but this guy simply flashed the projection artifact in his hand, and the players next to him couldn't vent their anger. Damn it, the other party's goodness value was too high, and if they attacked, their evil value would increase rapidly.

After watching for a while, Qian Shou sighed. This was just 'subjective initiative', even though it seemed to be used in a bad way. But Qian Shou had no reason to get involved. After thinking about it, he added a patch: people with high goodness would become evil, and their points would drop rapidly. However, after adding the patch, Qian Shou had a premonition that perhaps the real 'heroes' would be tricked by this.

After further consideration, we decided to remove the patch and instead added another patch, 'Artifact Selection'. When the points reach a certain level, the artifact will perform a soul assessment on potential users. This is no longer part of the system but is the true power of the Thousand Hands. Souls with evil attributes will be rejected. However, I feel that this will trick a lot of players.

Senju could only shrug at this. He wasn't omnipotent, nor could he keep making adjustments here forever. When this place was finally absorbed into his universe, the 'game system' would disappear completely, and then the surface-level good and evil values ​​would be gone.

Regardless of the troubles here, Thousand Hands went to build department stores, which was his main purpose. Speaking of which, the Chinese server is operated by 'South China Telecom', and there are ten player cities. Thousand Hands needs to build one hundred department stores.

Then, Thousand Hands guided the players through the modernization process. At this point, the players who had been reminded suddenly realized, "So this is how it can be done? So, building rockets and spaceships to explore the universe is also possible?" Some players even suspected that the real Earth was on the other side of the sun.

Unfortunately, there is only one Earth and one Moon in this world; all other planets are just background scenery. No matter how advanced the technology, it is impossible to reach other planets.

Then he went to 'Sheep City' and went through the same procedure. However, during this process, Senju felt that a mark he had left on the Japanese server was triggered. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was Shiroe and his friends. Moreover, Reinhard was also there!

With her eyes closed, Senju used the mark over there to create a clone. "Rhine, Shiroe, what are you doing here?"

"Senju?" Shiroe was taken aback, while Rhine smiled and nodded. "It's like this, Mr. Shiroe feels that buying and selling important facilities is too dangerous, so he wants to obtain a large amount of money to buy up all the tradable land in the Yamato server, and then transfer the ownership to the Yamato server..."

Listening to Rhine's explanation, Senju slowly understood. In the Japanese server, temples and guild halls can be bought and sold. In fact, the guild that Senju had previously established used this to threaten people. However, it would be bad if such rules were used by bad people.

Maintaining ownership of the facilities requires paying a large sum of money every month. If the payment is interrupted, ownership will be lost. If someone maliciously buys the property during this period, the newly formed order may collapse. Therefore, Shiroe came up with a way to completely eradicate the problem.

By transferring ownership of the purchased facility to the server, the ownership of the facility cannot be changed. Of course, the money spent on purchasing the facility will also be refunded during this process.

However, to prevent any unforeseen incidents, he planned to buy up all the purchasable land in the Japanese service area at once and then transfer it to the server. After that, no one else would be able to buy or sell important facilities. To achieve this, he would need an enormous amount of capital.

Cash flow.

So he approached Jinxing, the leader of the Gongzhi clan who controlled the flow of money on the server, wanting to raise funds. After the two sides exchanged ideas, Jinxing said that she could not agree to the financing because it would violate the rules of their ancestors, without even asking for the reason.

However, Shiroe wasn't unprepared. She made a slight threat, for example, what would happen if all the Earthlings knew that the gold coins on those monsters were provided by the Zhi clan? But Sumire was still inflexible, and Shiroe didn't want to completely ruin things, so the two sides parted on bad terms.

But before leaving, Jinxing left a hint: if you're so capable, go and conquer the money circulation center. Then, any request will be negotiable. And that's the dungeon that Qianshou went to once before, which has a bunch of super bosses.

Even if he hadn't been there, Shiro knew that conquering this dungeon would require a lot of people. Unfortunately, the Round Table Guild was currently entangled with the player City Bannan, so they couldn't send too many helpers. He originally wanted to consult with Senju and rely on Senju's absolute level advantage to clear the dungeon, but unfortunately, Senju's clones had all gone off somewhere to forge equipment.

Finally, he found Rhine in Susukino, the only 'level 100 player' in the entire server. After talking with him, he found that the other party was trustworthy (with maxed-out charm, leadership, and affinity) and was also troubled by the large monthly expenses. So the two sides cooperated, and now he came to investigate.

Chapter 1934 The Conqueror's Conquest

“I see,” Senju said, looking at Shiroe in surprise after hearing Rhine’s explanation. “You’re really clever to come up with such a method.”

"No, it's just because I'm short of money," Shiroe pushed up his glasses. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep this a secret, but he had long suspected that there was something wrong with this world. Reinhard wasn't a player, but rather a subordinate of Senju. This time, it wasn't just about the flow of funds, but also about testing Senju.

“But there’s no need for all that trouble. I’ve felt this rule was bad for a long time,” Senju said, snapping his fingers to remove the rule that facilities could be purchased. “Alright, that’s the problem. This place is a crucial center that affects the operation of this world, so it’s best not to come here casually.”

"Uh..." Sensing the unusual fluctuations around her, Shiroe didn't know what to say. Sure enough, the other party had powerful control over this world. A timid white-robed mage next to her was fidgeting with his fingers. "It's actually world-class magic! That's amazing! How did they do that? Can you tell me?"

"Ahem," Senju realized that his disguise had been exposed after he finished doing this. He had clearly said that he only knew two 'world-class magic' before. "Well, I have something to do, so I'll go first. You guys have fun."

After saying that, the clone on this side turned back into a ball of light and returned to the door. The original Thousand Hands also woke up, wiping away non-existent sweat. "Really, after so long, I've forgotten what I said."

Anyway, since Dragon Ball's consciousness has returned to normal, it seems I don't need to wear a disguise anymore. Shaking his head, Senju continued his work here, mainly guiding others.

It took a month for the players to restore modern civilization to their cities. Some powerful players even launched a bunch of satellites, completing global networking. After the people in the various cities communicated, many players had a new goal: to find the mastermind behind sending things around! Catching him would allow them to go home!

Unfortunately, although the players were determined to dig out Thousand Hands, Thousand Hands was too fast for them to catch up with, especially in the inland areas where the player density was pitifully low. Even if they locked onto Thousand Hands with satellites, no one would go there. Of course, this was also a result of Thousand Hands not hiding itself, at least giving everyone some hope and a target.

Of course, Qian Shou sometimes complains, wondering why the game company set up such a large map. Is it for the future? Considering what everyone is saying, this game has been running for twenty years, and normally it might continue to run for another twenty years. This must be a preparation made in advance.
