MTL - To Four Thousand Years Later-Chapter 5 god is dead

Solomon helped Abigail into Adonijah's tent, and then walked to Nome, feeling his wrist and counting his pulse.

Solomon will go to Adonijah's tent again after the 2,000 pulses are over. Seeing Solomon reappear would mean it was time to stop the fake healing.

In order for the girl to see him, Solomon even scratched his little finger lightly with his saber, so that Abigail could see where he was...

"Thank you so much, Your Highness Solomon."

Noam leaned over and smiled humbly: "You pointed out a way out for us."

"It's okay, Norm. We're friends."

Solomon shrugged, and said relaxedly, "It's a matter of little effort, it's no big deal."

"I wouldn't have imagined this level without your wisdom. To tell you the truth, when we were in the village, we were actually not very... well-liked by others."

Norm smiled awkwardly: "Besides, I'm just a salted fish seller. How can I be your friend..."

"There's no distinction between high and low, Norm."

Solomon said casually, then paused slightly, coughed lightly and added: "Under God, all living beings are equal. I am not higher than you, and you are not lower than me. My father, King David, was once a shepherd, but he is now became king."

Solomon said gently: "We all live under the same starry sky and walk on the same land. We are brothers. Maybe you need my help today, but in the future I will need your help to survive?"

Noam glanced at Solomon in shock, glanced around secretly, took a deep breath and lowered his head: "You are... what are you talking about. You are the son of the great King David, If you are in trouble one day, we should save you..."

"I guess so."

Solomon didn't bother about it, but just smiled and took the topic: "Speaking of which, you said you sell salted fish? Are you a fisherman?"

"No, no, you guessed wrong."

Talking about the topic of salted fish, Norm immediately became energetic: "I don't catch fish. I never catch... I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I'm actually seasick."

"Huh? How can you sell salted fish when you are seasick?"

Solomon asked curiously.

Noam shook his head triumphantly: "I don't catch fish, some are caught by people. Their fish can't be sold during the day, and they won't be fresh the next day. I'll just...buy the fish they can't sell at night, and then pickle it Sell ​​it as salted fish. You don’t know, the price will be much cheaper that way.”

"...Ah, the second social division of labor."

Solomon took a breath, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Has Israel reached this period?"

"You said... what big division of labor?"

Norm noticed a certain word Solomon mentioned.

"Roughly speaking, it is the separation of handicrafts and agriculture."

Solomon said casually: "Look, it's as if fishermen have become more and smarter, and they will catch more fish. If there are so many fish that the whole family can't eat in a day, they will sell them out, and so many that they can't even sell them." If they can’t sell them all, they will consciously lower the price. Therefore, individual processors like you can get cheap and sufficient raw materials, which is much more efficient than fishing...right?”

"...Yes! You are right!"

Norm's eyes lit up.

Although there were some words he didn't understand in Solomon's words, he still understood the general content. He couldn't wait to grab Solomon's sleeve, and begged in an almost pleading tone: "Please tell me a little more... and then what will happen?"

"And of course you're going to get rich, Noam!"

Solomon smiled and said, "There are people like you who are good at pickling salted fish but are seasick, and there are naturally people who are good at fishing but not processing it. Social division of labor is a good thing. It can make our lives less tiring."

"After that..."

Solomon recalled it for a while, and said: "It should be the birth of a professional businessman. Instead of making things and selling them yourself, you buy things from others at a low price, and then sell them to others at a high price."

"...But, Your Highness Solomon."

Norm frowned: "There are low-priced things to buy, why buy high-priced ones?"

"How many days will it take you to travel from your hometown to Jerusalem?"

Solomon looked into Noam's eyes and asked abruptly: "How much more money can you earn for making salted fish these days? Well, if someone buys your salted fish in large quantities at a slightly cheaper price from your hometown, you Will you buy it?"

"...Of course! It would be great if there was such a person!"

Noam's eyes burst out with joy: "Your wisdom is really outstanding..."

"It's not my wisdom, Norm. It's the wisdom of a greater man. I'm just a common man who knows a little bit about everything."

Solomon smiled wryly and shook his head: "So will you become a businessman?"

"... Well, I think, I still can't," Norm smiled a little embarrassedly, "You see, I can make salted fish after all... I have a craft. Let those who can't make salted fish hear , I would probably be willing. After running for three or four days, even a car full of salted fish can’t be sold for a lot of money. But I hope that some merchants will come to me to buy my salted fish..."

"There will be."

Solomon sighed indistinctly, and replied softly: "If I can become king, I will organize a wave of merchants. In that case, you can earn money by staying at home without going out."

"You will surely be king."

Noam bowed his head piously, and replied unswervingly: "You are so humble, wise, and kind... If you can't be king, who can be our king?"

Solomon just smiled and shook his head. Did not continue to think about it. His pulse had already jumped two thousand times, and the appointed time had come.

So he stood up from the lake, and was about to walk towards the door of Adonijah's tent.

But at this moment, Solomon suddenly heard a strange noise coming from his ear, and a light blue light curtain flashed before his eyes.

He vaguely seemed to see a stuck blue bar appearing in front of his eyes. The blue bar is almost completely full, only less than one-twentieth of the last part remains. The background of the blue bar is a yellow curly world map.

Fuck, did the cheats finally arrive? !

…wait wait wait.

Isn't this the loading screen of the game I made?

Solomon was taken aback.

He remembered very clearly that the boss asked his project team to produce a historical strategy game imitating "Sid Meier's Civilization".

The theme of the game is to allow players to play the role of a well-known leader in BC, comprehensively promote human civilization through culture, religion, politics, military and other fields, and continue to play for hundreds of years after the legend reaches 100% or dies due to a certain event. The next leader of mankind will continue to promote the development of human civilization from another perspective. The main line is to advance human civilization to the interstellar era and achieve independence within four thousand years.

There are various ways to complete the main line. You can violently conquer the world and then centralize power, or you can subtly influence future generations with religion or culture; or you can jump the technology tree on a large scale and advance the release of certain key technologies; or Try to avoid all wars and step into the galaxy in a multinational alliance...

This game is now very complete, and the main body has passed the green light review of a platform called "Steam" and will soon be released with high votes. Theoretically speaking, after finishing the first dlc in half a month, I can go on vacation with the bonus.

I'm afraid I brought the game I made here as a cheat?

Having said that, what kind of operation is it to make yourself a DLC?

When Solomon was thinking wildly, two lines of words appeared on the light curtain: [Battle loading complete]

【Click any key to start the game】

...any key is fine.

Solomon was dumbfounded. He tentatively patted the light curtain, but fortunately, the light curtain unfolded directly without any delay.

Immediately, Solomon's own soulful recitation sounded in his ears—yes, the narration of the demo version of the game was also dubbed by Solomon.

[Your characteristic in this battle is: God-given wisdom]

[Your areas of expertise in this battle are: demonology, architectural talent, and business talent] [Battle Background? First World]

[971 BC, Israel]

"You are Solomon, son of David. The third king of the future kingdom of Israel, the second king of the Davidic dynasty, the wise king blessed by God."

...well, I already know this.

Solomon nodded calmly.

But the next sentence of the narrator gave Solomon a stomachache.

"—However, God is dead."

"The age of the gods draws to a close, and the most powerful gods of each race are expelled from the world first. When almost all the main gods of all nations have left, you are faced with the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Assyrians who have the protection of gods. However, the most important thing for you now is to defeat your brother Adonijah's plan to usurp the throne and ascend the throne in advance."

【Main task has been released】

【The mission has been released】

[Main quest 1 to show wisdom: break Adonijah's first assassination plan against you, and show wisdom] [Reward: Legendary 1, Solomon's Ring]

[Mission mission? One: Become the king of Israel and Judah, and rule for at least three years] [Reward: Personal characteristics? Young king]

...God is dead?

Solomon's heart tightened. He didn't pay attention to the tasks and rewards below, but first noticed the "campaign background".

right? If God is dead...

The priest who healed Adonijah... and from whom did he get the power?
