CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 349: BUSTLING PROSPERITY

No way.

They had thought about it, too, about choosing the "Beauty" talent and becoming a super drama queen, flaunting their charm, trying to make their brothers feel heartache...that would definitely be interesting.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t worked hard on Qi Cultivation with the Immortal Herb before.

Now they only have Demon Level, or even lower Genius Level.

The Beauty talent is very special, with lower levels of Beauty...if they really chose it, they’d only be a foil! As long as they’re not the most beautiful one, it’s useless, and they would just have to honestly focus on other life professions...

Thus, this batch of concubine life players entering the palace experienced a stark polarization.

The strongest few at the Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Level mostly chose "Beauty", flirting with others, playing coquettish games...while those with weaker talents had to work diligently, doing Artifact Refining, Medicine Making, Planting, Construction...

"We’re all life-type players, why is there such a big difference between us?"

"Ridiculous, we’re all non-combatants, they do palace intrigue life, we do farming life! If only we had worked hard during the Immortal Herb period in Qi Cultivation, such a loss."

"Don’t rush, this has just started. What if they have a high starting point? We’ll complete more missions, make more contributions, and later after dying, the next life’s attribute points will definitely be higher than theirs. Re-enter the Primordial Chaos universe, and we can choose any talent!"

...

After all, how could there be a game without rewards?

But what game rewards could Zhu Zhengwei offer them?

Celestial Dao Core Law, or some treasure?

Instead, he wants them to help him collect these, right?

And the game rewards are, quite simply, "Birth Attribute Points."

They complete various daily tasks, even super large tasks, to earn "Birth Attribute Points," which they can only use upon reincarnation in the next life. As Creator God, Zhu Zhengwei can create people as needed.

This spurs them to work hard and not fear death! As long as they perform tasks well, their next life’s birth talent will be higher, only more delightful.

After all, they are similar to Zhu Zhengwei.

The current body is merely a "avatar" of the true self, though this avatar looks as if it were the true body, having an independent soul imprint and flesh.

This is the Creator God’s power, although weak...but it still created the Yang Side universe.

"This concubine exam is going to drive them into self-isolation."

"It’s not just self-isolation, it’s intense competition. Their intelligence could be higher than ours, their schemes might not outmatch ours...but when it comes to manual labor, producing tools, I’ve never feared anyone!"

"Brothers, in this wave, there are seven or eight anonymous NPCs, probably from those Noble Families, their lights are shining brightly!"

"Yes, we must form connections, best to let those coquettish players PUA them!"

"Right."

"While making money, we need to split into two teams; it’s time to dig a big pit. Let those alluring players use their abilities to expand our players’ influence!"

...

They’ve already been making secret glances.

How could they not know?

The main game quest has already been updated: from joining the Great Tang government, it’s changed to:

[Main Quest: Assist Li Shimin of the Great Tang government in restoring royal authority to the human realm.]

Although this update information wasn’t received here in Chang’an City.

Chang’an City seems to have some mysterious barrier force, preventing the system from exerting most of its power here...these palace maids, when someone slipped out of Chang’an City, only then received the system update.

In the shadows.

Looking at this Great Tang celebration, Li Shimin was secretly observing.

This festivity wasn’t just for outsiders to come and purchase the concubines’ goods, gathering massive wealth to fill his little treasury...it also aimed for the royal palace group to become a brand.

"I have no doubt their products will be sold out, with quality guaranteed. Each of them is highly qualified...they work fifteen hours a day, yet demand still exceeds supply."

Li Shimin spoke blandly.

Just in Chang’an City’s large world alone, it gathers billions of creatures. As the most prosperous world in the human realm, just the internal palace alone is enough to consume their products.

The product offering is small, but the current opening is just the beginning.

Li Shimin plans to form a custom mechanism, letting future generations of concubines work this way upon entering the palace, gradually expanding "manufacturing," thus exerting external influence.

"His Majesty is wise, this batch of Saintesses is excellently qualified, though scarce, setting a good precedent." Zhu Zhengwei praised, "Over time, the concubines will develop such customs...the women of the palace will also begin to work."

He chuckled.

Ignoring the recent complaints and even curses in secret by the palace concubines, who felt he as Prime Minister was the exploitative Zhou Bapi, wanting to squeeze the women of the palace!

Though on the surface, he takes the fall for the Emperor...how could he suffer losses?

From now on, he can openly, under such a pretext, send batches of concubine players in like leeks. The more they pile up, the more they can eventually occupy the entire palace...

In Emperor Tang’s name, he will build a "Player Legion" city in Chang’an City’s palace.

What’s wrong with female avatars?

Nowadays, many players play female characters in online games.

And after deleting the account upon death, wouldn’t it be fine to play male characters next time?

"Furthermore, these tool people, under the leadership of Li Shimin, this big tool-person boss, driven by the frenzied reboot of Chang’an City’s rules...the entire player technology research logistics city will surely explode with growth!"

Zhu Zhengwei secretly laughed in his heart.

Even he could be crushed to such an extent over two hundred years.

Yet these people, though not as excellent as him in aptitude, they outnumber him!

Still, the saying goes:

Sometimes, unless people pressure themselves, they don’t know what their potential truly is!

At this moment, Li Shimin looked down at the bustling market, with a gratified expression, "Indeed, these concubines are patriotic; working diligently, clever and striving..."

"Indeed." Zhu Zhengwei also smiled with satisfaction, "They unexpectedly show such devotion, working fifteen hours a day! Combined with the frenzied reboot, their skills and talents are rapidly soaring!"

"My lord understands me!"

Li Shimin glanced at his Prime Minister, truly gratified, feeling the Prime Minister finally opened his heart to him!

It seems the Prime Minister is also very happy for him...to encounter such selfless, hard-working talents is the respect of the Great Tang empire.

"What more can one ask for!"

He sighed deeply into the sky.

He glanced at the Macau Royal Casino, and his lips curled bizarrely, noticing the noise inside.

"My good brothers, don’t fight, small gambling is entertaining, but now this is..."

...

"How could I, I would only feel sorry for my brother~~"

...

"Brother, put down some chips first, have a cup of tea to soothe your throat, you’ll surely win back the money later!"

Li Shimin was silent.

He felt some toothache...

What are these attractive concubine croupiers doing?

A farce has already started below, several Holy Sons have begun a betting duel over the female croupiers, gambling big and on a whim.

"Those concubines are really wicked!"

Li Shimin saw through their tactics clearly, "Such insidiousness, I’ve only seen recently under Zhenyuanzi..."

Although there is inherent enmity between these noble clans, they are gambling wildly here in the casino...he also gains quite a share of 3% commission, accumulating bit by bit.
