Chapter 34 Official Commentary
"Hey, over there, over there! It's crooked, tilt it a little to the left! Yes, tilt it a little more!"
In the recent war, the entire city of Blackwater was wiped off the face of the earth.
The residents and soldiers of Blackwater, who survived thanks to the protection of the God of Light, were forced to rebuild this border city of the Ruhr Kingdom.
Hua Kaifugui looked at Blackwater City, which was in dire need of reconstruction, with a large number of players emerging since the closed beta, and the exchange of contribution points between players that started after the closed beta.
Hua Kaifugui, who makes a living by collecting rent in real life, keenly sensed the business opportunity and decided to make a name for herself in the game.
The main issue is that the game's level cap is stuck at Lv30. Even with the "Blooming Prosperity" skill's experience bar overflowing several times over, he still can't advance to the Bronze rank, clearly indicating that the developers are controlling the level cap. Therefore, combat is meaningless to him at this stage. While waiting for the "Observation Method" to unlock the Bronze rank, he wants to find something else to do.
—This endeavor isn't about leaving behind any legends, but rather about participating in the reconstruction of Blackwater and, through that, building a city that truly belongs to the players.
Although Ruhr Royal City was the starting point for the first players, after thousands of years of development, there is no room left for players to enter.
On the contrary, these border cities and large-scale urban development represent tremendous opportunities for players.
Thus, Huakai Fugui found the city lord Kulin and, through his identity as a leader of some players, successfully obtained the right to build the city.
As for the price, it was that Huakai Fugui would build houses for the original inhabitants of Blackwater City free of charge and be responsible for the maintenance of Blackwater City for the next ten years.
Hua Kai Fugui agreed without hesitation and used his financial power to recruit talent from among the players.
As a result, the civil engineering guy, who originally had nowhere to showcase his talents in real life, inexplicably found a new job in the game and got a happy job with a monthly salary of five months' wages.
The former Qinglong Group, under the manipulation of Huakai Fugui, has become the Qinglong Shares Group.
The group's headquarters is located next to the Blackwater Church.
Adhering to the principle of leaving professional matters to professionals, Huakai Fugui did not get involved in urban construction. Instead, he and a few of his underlings were hanging up the signboard for Qinglong Group.
As he was hanging up the sign, he turned around and saw Saint Irene walking towards him with a little boy.
Recalling the recent server-wide announcement, Hua Kai Fugui couldn't help but ask, "Miss Saintess, is this Caesar Arthos?"
Because of the closed beta test 0.1, Hua Kai Fu Gui has been trying to build a good relationship with Eileen during his time in the game.
Although Eileen didn't understand why this handsome and dashing hero, who seemed like a middle-aged man when he was around, always had a strange feeling of guilt towards her.
However, she could sense that the hero meant her no harm and had great goodwill toward humanity.
As a result, her inexplicable fear of wealth and prosperity gradually dissipated, and she gradually became acquainted with it.
"That's right, Mr. Huakai Fugui, I'm about to take him to meet my lord." Eileen nodded, her tone slightly off when she spoke of the God of Light.
Hua Kai Fugui pretended not to notice.
In recent days, he unexpectedly discovered that although Eileen, as the Holy Maiden of Light, appeared very devout in front of everyone.
However, in some subtle ways, there is a subtle rejection of the current God of Light.
The rumors of "prosperity and wealth" suggest that Eileen's mindset is similar to that of a former official of the previous dynasty.
After all, Hua Kai Fu Gui had carefully studied the background of this game and knew that the current God of Light was only the successor of the previous [Holy Throne of Light].
Before the God of Light appeared in the world, Saintess Irene worshipped the Throne of Light.
However, Hua Kaifugui actually had another outrageous conjecture, which was that the current God of Light was not right.
However, Hua Kaifugui quickly abandoned this conjecture, since the God of Light was still the player's faction boss.
In the game's background, the player's arrival is due to the God of Light!
The game designers wouldn't pull such a ridiculous plot twist, would they?
Heh, I guess so...
When the flowers bloom and wealth arrives, I think of that gaming buddy I haven't contacted in ages. I wonder how he's doing now.
This game is so popular now, he must be living a very comfortable life!
Gathering her scattered thoughts, Hua Kaifugui curiously examined Caesar.
In Hua Kai Fugui's eyes, the latter was just an ordinary little boy, around eleven or twelve years old, with brown hair, brown eyes, and a sallow and thin face.
After staring at it for a while, Hua Kaifugui still couldn't figure it out. It was Caesar who spoke up first: "How do you know my name? Do you know me?"
"I don't know you personally, but I do know that there's probably no one in our other world who doesn't know you as a hero!"
He didn't go into detail about the "flowers bloom and wealth arrives" part, after all, he couldn't exactly explain the difference between NPCs and players to a game NPC!
Hearing this, Caesar asked with some doubt, "Are you also a hero from another world? How many people in this city are locals?"
Well, even the official criticism is here!
Hua Kaifugui smiled knowingly and reached out to rub Caesar's head.
"Don't worry, no matter how many of us there are, this world is still your world. We are ultimately just tourists in the world."
At that moment, Eileen bid farewell to Hua Kai Fugui, saying, "Mr. Hua Kai Fugui, I'm sorry, Caesar and I must leave first. I need to take him to see our Lord!"
"It's alright, come visit the company sometime!"
Hua Kaifugui pointed to the tall building behind him where a plaque was being hung, and extended an invitation to Eileen.
"I definitely will when I have time!"
Eileen nodded, looking at the six-story building that exceeded her expectations, and couldn't help but sigh.
So high!
Before seeing this building, she had never imagined that buildings could be built so tall.
The rebuilt Church of Light is not magnificent. The three-meter-tall statue, hastily carved by the kingdom's most skilled craftsmen, is enveloped in pure white light and stands alone on a high platform in the center of the hall, appearing holy, solemn, and lonely.
"Is that the God of Light?"
Looking at the statue, Caesar couldn't help but ask Irene, who was standing beside him.
Eileen didn't answer, but led Caesar to the statue and whispered, "My lord, I've brought the person here!"
Caesar looked up in confusion at these words, wondering why this woman, known as the Saintess, would suddenly address the God of Light in such a way.
The next moment, the three-meter-tall statue burst forth with blazing white light, instantly engulfing Eileen and Caesar.
When Caesar came to his senses, he found himself in a palace that looked like it was made of gold, with white clouds piled up on its towering and magnificent dome.
The story he had heard countless times since childhood echoed in his ears once again.
The great and eternal Throne of Light constructed a world called the Golden Kingdom, which is filled with light and order and seems to be entirely constructed of gold.
"This is the Golden Kingdom! I have arrived in the realm of the great and eternal Throne of Light!"
Caesar shouted excitedly, but was interrupted by a gentle voice from the side.
"To correct you, this is now the kingdom of the God of Light, or as I've called him, the Heavenly Kingdom."
A blond man with golden eyes appeared beside Caesar at some unknown time. He was dressed in a pure white robe and wore a golden laurel wreath, appearing holy and otherworldly, as if order and light had descended upon him.
At a glance, Caesar knew who he was, and he burst into tears of excitement, rushing forward to hug the man's leg without hesitation.
"Great and eternal God of Light, please save my brother and the others! They are also devout and fearless believers of the light! Please save them from the orcs!"
I am willing to give my soul, my life, and everything I have!
Caesar wept.
It was heartbreaking, it was hysterical.
