Lord of Rot

Chapter 623 Newspaper is a good thing (page 12)

Li Qi looked at the "flesh and blood coffin". It took about five days after a northern soldier entered it naked. When the other party came out again, his body swelled as if it was inflated.

"It's like wight-making."

But it's completely different compared to making zombies.

First of all, to create a ghoul, there must be extraordinary precipitates, and secondly, it itself must be extraordinary.

That is, two extraordinary precipitates can finally create a ghoul with simple thinking ability.

1+1=1

The "flesh and blood coffin" needs to put an ordinary warrior, a transcendent and the spiritual power extracted from the caster to create a new transcendent.

Possess all the wisdom of his lifetime.

It seems that the extraordinary person can be created at will, but in fact the cost is higher than Li Qi's cost of creating a corpse.

"It's like digging the ground with a golden hoe" Li Qi criticized the Earl of the North for wasting Behemoth's ability.

In his view, spellcasters are the key to the development of magic, just like skilled workers.

The extraordinary are geniuses.

It is true that the development of society requires geniuses, but skilled workers who can be trained correctly and reproducibly are the screws that create productivity.

Just like the earth, everyone cannot be a college student and just sit in an office drinking tea.

Who will punch the screws in the workshop? Who will build the high-rise buildings?

There are too many talents but they can't be used. They are thrown to the bottom to work. Don't talk about the so-called arrogance. With hard work and talent, no one wants to drive screws.

So what to do?

Restrict some people so that they cannot become geniuses.

Li Qi is also very clear about the fact that extraordinary people have great power, and he also encourages the emergence of extraordinary people, but the minimum monthly salary of extraordinary people is now 10 gold days.

As for the spell casters, because he has trained most of them since childhood and divided them into various positions to teach different types of magic, his future path has been determined from the beginning, so a lot of cost and expenditure will be saved.

He still welcomes awakened extraordinary beings, but he does not want everyone to be an extraordinary being with a monthly salary of 10 gold per day.

The advanced civilized race where Behemoth belongs has solved this problem from the root.

Although the human touch has been lost, it ensures the optimal development of the race. There will never be any problems and everyone will perform their duties.

Li Qi couldn't evaluate whether it was good or bad, after all, the opponent was already so powerful that he bared his teeth at the gods.

The Earl of the North's exploration in this area was very superficial. First of all, he could not control the giant beast Behemoth, so he could only spend many years experimenting and then draw simple conclusions.

Throw in supernatural beings and spellcasters, use them as materials, and then strengthen an obedient supernatural being.

It's still the calculation formula of 1+1=1, and the cost is higher than Li Qi's, because Li Qi's materials only need to be dead bodies.

And these functions are actually just the minimum operating mechanism of Behemoth that is insufficient in energy, just to maintain it.

The underlying logic of Behemoth is to produce newborns of that highly civilized race, but this is not what Li Qi wants to see.

He didn't need to create a new race.

If there weren't all kinds of crises coming, there would be nothing wrong with him being a little baron.

"This big thing can't fly at all, but if you want to fundamentally modify it, it's best to let Isis plug in."

If he wanted to make it fly, the energy needed would be enough to make Li Qi feel distressed for a while. With this energy, he could even raise a team of extraordinary zombies numbering no less than a hundred.

So the best way is to spread the ghoul signal tower to Stormwind City and cover Star Dragon Island.

……

Port Head.

Aviva finished her day's work and was going to the pub for a drink.

There are no delicate and expensive young ladies in the North. Their ice bloodline makes them tall and strong, and their blood seems to contain powerful bears. Only strong liquor is their true love.

She has gradually accepted the Dongxia soldiers.

Although this group of people are uninvited and uninvited guests, they have actually promoted economic development and improved lives.

In the past, people would freeze and starve to death in Heide Port every snowy day.

Now, it has been almost a year since they came to Heide, and it will soon be winter again, but no one has ever starved to death in Heide Port.

The young children no longer need to run barefoot, they all wear new clothes.

Eating meat is not an unattainable dream.

There are even people who get married and get pregnant.

When food is insufficient and survival pressure is too great, no matter what ethnic group they are, they will consciously control the birth of newborns.

Even the gods cannot let the child come out of nowhere just because he said "Give me a baby".

Environment is the fundamental factor that affects all this, not orders and slogans.

"Recently, more soldiers have begun to come from the East Gorge."

As soon as Aviva sat down, she heard a veteran at the next table chewing a chicken head and saying: "It seems like there is going to be a war."

"If we really fight, who are we?"

"Yeah, we won't fight with Dongxia! We eat their food and wear their clothes during this period... Look at our baron, who does nothing but hold dance parties in the castle every day, and it's been a year! We I only know that Stormwind City’s fleets come and go, but not a single warship has come.”

Even Aviva, the most loyal supporter of the North, was in a tangle at this time.

It is basically a foregone conclusion that Li Qi Clarence will dominate the Lurea continent.

In the past, they would not have been so sure, but now...

"Boss, when will the newspaper come?"

The owner of the normal wine barrel stopped and wiped his forehead: "I guess there was a storm, so it was a little late."

In Aviva's view, the most incredible thing Li Qi did was to invent something called "newspaper".

After the little book became popular throughout Heideport, Li Qi has become a representative hero in the hearts of children.

Defeat bears, defeat more with less, invent terrifying weapons, climb the city wall alone, save a noble lady out of wisdom, save your lover from the evil and hateful king, and ride a dragon.

Admiration for it has reached its peak.

Countless teenagers dream of becoming Li Qi when they grow up, and countless girls dream of marrying Li Qi when they grow up.

Adults are more realistic and will not be confused by a few little books.

But after the emergence of "newspapers", the entire trend changed.

Those who knew how to read read to those who didn't. Every month there was only news about changes in the major territories under Li Qi's command, which was enough to stun them with the massive amount of information.

While others were hiding core confidential information about themselves, Li Qi kept leaking information.

The number of troops and the approximate size of the armed forces.

Even profits, industry types in each territory.

It was precisely with this understanding that the natives of Head felt little hope for victory in the north.

"The newspapers are here!"

A young man opened the door and walked in.

"Quickly, give me one!" The drunken bearded man slapped the table and shouted: "Quickly!"
