The Tycoon God of Online Gaming-Chapter 769 - 770

"You go ahead, I’ve got to leave now." Chu You stood up, slipping his phone into his pocket. Upon seeing this, Bao’er also got to her feet.

"Okay, Boss, I’ll walk you out."

"No need, stop investigating the player’s founding of a nation for now. There’s not much to find out anyway." A enigmatic smile crossed his face, startling Wei Hong. After a moment, Chu You took Bao’er’s hand and left.

His words rang true; despite Zhongmiaosi founding a nation, its territory was only about the size of a village, their capital. This was the initial stage of players founding a nation.

More importantly, the nation’s location couldn’t be within the seven major kingdoms. In other words, Zhongmiaosi and his followers resided somewhere beyond the seven kingdoms.

From what Chu You knew, founding a nation had its perks. Firstly, it was not governed by the court. Secondly, it could lure neutral faction species and high-level NPCs with its attraction points. However, their loyalty was another matter.

The third advantage was that players from the seven kingdoms could change their citizenship! The prerequisite was that Zhongmiaosi must establish a government office for that nationality in Central Huaxia. Once a player changed their citizenship, they’ll become a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, thereby relinquishing all tasks relating to their original citizenship.

The biggest drawback of founding a nation was starting from scratch. Everything had to be developed, which required gold coins and strategic resources. Additionally, the nation’s growth hinged on tactful diplomacy with the seven major powers. If mishandled, the nation could be annihilated and threatened by neighboring evil factions and players.

At the very beginning, the location of this new dynasty was invisible to other players. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This was precisely why Chu You told them to stop investigating; no power could infiltrate this new dynasty as of now.

Chu You and Bao’er returned home and headed for the bedroom.

"Let’s game, Bao’er. Oh, and remember to refuse if the system prompts you to start deep sleep due to fatigue,"

Looking at Bao’er, Chu You continued,"Then log out and rest. You’re still growing, remember."

Bao’er obediently nodded. "Yes, I know. I’ll play for a while. Besides, you’re here to monitor me."

"I won’t be beside when you’re playing this time."

"Huh?"

"Mmhmm, don’t play for too long."

"Well... I’ll read for a bit then. Haha." Bao’er giggled, her cheeks flushing. "Since I’d taken a week of leave, the head of course has assigned me some coursework."

Upon hearing that, Chu You gave her a gentle nod and ruffled her hair. "Take break if you’re tired."

On the way back, Bao’er was showing hints of fatigue, yawning a few times. However, she seemed more energetic now.

"Yes, I understand."

"I’ll order takeaway for dinner, you don’t need to cook."

"Alright... Can I read here?" Bao’er asked, her eyes wide and bright, full of expectation.

"Sure, this is your home too, you’re the lady of the house. You can do whatever you want." Chu You’s tone was soft and full of affection.

Just before entering the game pod, Chu You called Xiao Qiao on his phone to order a hearty dinner. He then entered the Game Pod.

Meanwhile, Bao’er, with a few books in tow, snuggled herself into Chu You’s cozy bed and started reading.

...

Upon logging in, Chu You immediately received a glut of messages from his friends. He first picked up a voice message from War Soul Ruthless.

"Night Ghost, you’re here. There’s news – Huaxia District has a Commander now."

On hearing this, Chu You opened the Huaxia Merit Points leaderboard. At the top spot for Commander was the handle: Ice Lingfanchen.

It was a member of the Jin Kingdom’s Ice Ling Guild, clearly someone related to the government!

But why wasn’t it Ice Ling Hongchen? Instead, it was Ice Lingfanchen?! Chu You was momentarily confused.

On his way back, Chu You had accessed the Celestial World forum via his phone’s autopilot and learned of many things.

There were currently three hot topics on the forum, the first one being the merit rankings. By this point, every district had their own Commander. In other words, there were seven Commanders, and the quota for merit transformation at all levels was met.

This meant that, from Five-Star General to Commander, a total of 114 merit transformation spots were filled by players. Multiplied by the seven districts, that equated to 798 players in the game who could use the Merit Transformation skill.

The leader, with a merit value of 12.52 million (or gold coins), was followed by the second place at 9.15 million. The fourth and fifth places were vying for the Commander ranking, with merit values of 8.7 million and 8.2 million respectively. Since the fifth rank wasn’t able to surpass the other top contenders, they missed out on the Commander position despite meeting the requirement. All they could do now was continue accruing merit.

This fifth player was a Chinese Grand General.

While there was only one spot for Huaxia Commander, there were three slots for Generals of Huaxia, and ten for the Huaxia Grand General.

The second hot topic was players founding nations. The players were enjoying this newfound thrill, some in disbelief at the concept of founding nations. They were curious about potential benefits and the difference between player nations and player guilds.

The third hot topic was ZVZ’s Huaxia District VS Dongying District. This Battle was more than about in-game pride; it was a matter of national dignity much like the World Cup. Even those who didn’t play the game were now highly interested in this battle!

The Japanese seemed to be doing a better job than Huaxia at rallying the masses. While Huaxia’s concern mainly showed in heated online discussions, including coverage by TV channels, news sections, and live streaming platforms, Japan was bustling with parades in major cities. Many businesses and supermarkets had rolled out discounts and free samples!

The gold coin contributions from Huaxia players had reached 65 million out of 100 million!

It is only 35 million gold coins away from reaching stage one for the Huaxia Main God. Once at stage one, all Huaxia players will receive the stage one BUFF.

"Indeed, I saw."

"Night Ghost, with your wealth, feel like going for the Commander position?"

Chu You smirked,"We’ll see."

Just then, a system notification popped up.

Huaxia Bulletin: Player ’Unclear Not Chu’ has used the four-star Grand General Merit Transformation skill in the south district!
