After the System Notification, the World Notification that the China region players were waiting for sounded out.
"World Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for being the 1st Lord in the world to upgrade to Capital City; rewarded 150 thousand merit points, 200 thousand reputation points, and the title of World's First Capital City!"
...
Another 150 thousand merit points, this reward would make the eyes of all the Lords around the world turn red with envy.
"World Notification: Congratulations China region Lord Qiyue Wuyi for being the 1st in the world to upgrade to Capital City; awarded one hidden building -True Dragon Pool and one God Rank summoning talisman!"
...
The moment the notification sounded, the entire world was in an uproar.
Ouyang Shuo believed that all the Lords around the world were currently envious. A hidden building and also a God Rank talisman, these were items that every Lord wanted.
Gaia truly gave out a meaningful gift this time.
At the current moment, all the members of Silver Hand spread across the world were feeling really complicated. Reality proved that the anomaly in their eyes was far stronger than they had anticipated.
Thinking about what Shanhai City did in Minnan, whether or not they raised the threat level of this anomaly had no meaning anymore.
Hence, the current Ouyang Shuo and his Shanhai City were already on a whole new level, a new height that needed them to worship and look up to. He could not be described with the word anomaly as he was a true opponent, a truly strong opponent.
The two parties would continue to fight and their battles would never rest.
At this current moment, the China region forums were in celebration. Be it normal players, guild leaders, or wilderness Lords, they all gave their congratulations.
This was because this was the glory of the entire China region.
The rise of Shanhai City was good for the entire China region, and it described them as the strongest region in the world.
Such glory and honor was worth writing into a book.
Along with the reveal of the Satellite City, the five million player recruitment plan of Shanhai City became really smooth.
One could say without exaggeration that with the Capital City protecting them, with Shanhai City and their vast land and huge army, it has far exceeded the nine imperial cities and became the top power in China.
Since that was the case, what reason would the players have to reject the invitation of Shanhai City?
When Moon Shines over the River and the other two guild leaders got the news, they were really emotional. They knew that the hardest time for their guilds had passed.
Ouyang Shuo had fulfilled his promise.
However, Shanhai City only had one Satellite City, so how were they going to settle three guilds? Who would be the main guardian guild? This was a tough choice.
Moon Shines over the River thought about it and felt that this problem should not be left to Ouyang Shuo. That afternoon, Moon Shines over the River went to Jingdu to discuss with Ji Yinghu and Mengyun Tunding.
They needed to come up with a plan that all three of them could accept before Ouyang Shuo officially made his decision.
...
Since the Grade 1 Town, to County, to Prefecture and now the Capital City level, Shanhai City had taken the title of world's first. It was a position no one could shake, and he had created a wilderness legend.
An unprecedented legend.
Gaia naturally would pay attention to this and with it, another global System Notification sounded out.
"World Notification: Congratulations China region Lord Qiyue Wuyi for being the person who has been first in the world all the way from the Town grade. Awarded 150 thousand merit points, 200 thousand reputation points, three million gold, and one special prize.
...
Another huge bomb!
Players around the world were already numb, some things they could only be envious of.
In the series of basic rewards, Ouyang Shuo had amassed 400 thousand in terms of merit points alone, which was enough for two newbies to reach 1st class Marquis.
In the global landscape, there were less than 200 of them.
It was truly the case of one person being better than another.
The name of Shanhai City was destined to be a legend in the world.
...
The moment the World Notification sounded, another System Notification sounded out in his ear.
"System Notification; player Qiyue Wuyi has obtained one special reward, will you take it now?"
Ouyang Shuo was stunned, "What special reward is it?"
"System Notification: the special reward is a random reward, it can be special item, equipment, or cultivation method; everything is possible."
"...."
Ouyang Shuo hated these things that were left to chance.
"Obtain!"
No matter what reward it was, he would just take it first.
"System Notification: Obtaining reward...."
"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for obtaining a lucky reward, territory protector beast - Nian Beast Little Mo has evolved into God beast Qilin, becoming the country protector beast, congratulations player!"
During the 1st year, Ouyang Shuo had obtained one male and one female Nian beast during the defense event back then.
Not long after, these pair gave birth to one male and one female. The male one was Ouyang Shuo's mount Little Green, which was now a god beast subspecies; the female one was called a Little Mo and followed its mother.
The last generation male beast became Er'Lai's mount and was named Luosha while the female brought Little Mo along and lived in seclusion in the back mountains of the Nanjiang Governor-General Manor.
At the current date, the two of them had matured.
Ouyang Shuo did not expect Little Mo to actually be so lucky, evolving to God Beast Qilin faster than Little Green. As a female, Little Mo was gentler and was truthfully more suitable to be the country protector beast.
Name: Little Mo (God Beast)
Type: Country Protector Beast
Race: Ink Jade Qilin
Talent: Divine (can make divinations for the armies sent out)
Talent: Water Defense (raises combat strength in water by 150%, unstoppable in water)
Skill: Spitfire (shoots out an energy flame, causing huge damage and brings with it a burn effect)
Specialty: Deterrence (raises territory law and order by 45%, natural deterrence to ocean beasts, raises territory ocean region law and order by 45%), Protect (raises territory defenses by 40%)
Evaluation: The Qilin is a mixed creature with a lion head, deer horns, tiger eyes, dragon scales, and cow tail; the tail is shaped like a dragon tail, a legendary prosperity beast. It has a gentle personality, it does not harm living spirits, can live for two thousand years.
As expected from a God beast, Little Mo actually had much better stats than Little Green.
...
After drawing the special reward, Ouyang Shuo checked out the stats of the True Dragon Pool.
Name: True Dragon Pool
Type: Hidden Building
Function: Every month, one general can enter the True Dragon Pool to train and have a certain rate to breakthrough.
Specialty: Increases special talent attraction rate by 20%, increases territory fame by 5%.
What another practical hidden building.
With this True Dragon Pool, Zhao Sihu, Liao Kai, Shi Hu, and other local generals as well as Luo Shixin, Qinqiong and other talented historical generals would all have a huge chance.
Shanhai City's general lineup would definitely become stronger and stronger.
Following which, Ouyang Shuo took out the God Rank summoning talisman. He wanted to see which God General or God Official he could summon.
Ripping the talisman, a white light shone.
As the white light passed, an old man dressed in scholar attire appeared in the main hall. When the old man saw Ouyang Shuo, he bowed, "I am Kou Zhun, greetings Monarch!"
Ouyang Shuo was delighted and personally helped Kou Zhun up, "Great, Old Zhun is here. You're going to be of great help to me." Previously, he was worried about the future cabinet having only one Jiang Shang.
Now was great, with Kou Zhun, the cabinet could be formed.
Kou Zhun was a North Song politician and poet, and he was also a Jingshi. In 1004, during Emperor Zhenzong's reign, the Liao forces from the North initialized a major invasion and came surprisingly close to the Song capital. When other officials such as Wang Qinruo suggested that the emperor desert the city and find a new capital in Southern China, Kou Zhun suggested the emperor come to the frontline to boost the Song army's morale. Emperor Zhenzong listened to Kou Zhun's suggestion, and the Song forces successfully resisted the Liao invasion, ending in the Chanyuan Treaty.
Kou Zhun was a great speaker and had a reputation of offering criticism as he saw fit. Once, Emperor Taizong got offended and decided to leave, but Kou Zhun grabbed his robe and forced him to sit down and finish listening. Emperor Taizong remarked, "Having Kou Zhun is like Emperor Taizong of Tang having Wei Zheng."
A straight and direct official like Kou Zhun, who was very experienced and could judge cases and knew strategy, wasn't he a great choice for cabinet.
Ouyang Shuo was obviously delighted about this.
Name: Kou Zhun (God Rank)
Title: Top 10 ministers in history
Dynasty: North Song
Identity: Shanhai City Official
Occupation: Civil Servant
Loyalty: 70
Command: 85
Force: 45
Intelligence: 90
Politics: 95
Specialty: Famous Minister (Raises territory purity and honesty by 45%, raises territory efficiency by 25%, raises territory literacy and culture by 15%, raises territory ruling standard by 30%)
Famous work: Kou Zhongmin Poetry
Evaluation: Kou Zhun was a really generous and selfless person, giving himself up for the country; he was a rare right hand man of the empire.
Looking at the standard of Kou Zhun, Ouyang Shuo shouted toward the outside, "Men!"
"Monarch!"
Ouyang Shuo said, "Get Mister Xiao to take a trip!"
"Yes, my Monarch!"
The office of the Administration Bureau was right beside the Governor-General Manor. Ouyang Shuo introduced Kou Zhun to Xiao He, smiling, "Help me take care of old Kou."
Xiao He cupped his fists, "Congratulations Monarch for getting another famous minister!"
After the two of them met, Xiao He led Kou Zhun and left the main hall. The Shanhai City structure was huge. One or two days would not be enough for Kou Zhun to merge and assimilate into the system.
To become a member of the cabinet, Kou Zhun needed to familiarize with the Shanhai City system first.
