982 5th System Update (1/2)

Chapter 982 – 5th System Update

Gaia 4th year 12th month, 20th day, the Great Xia Imperial Court gave out a series of official appointments.

Gong Chengshi was appointed as the Jiangchuan Provincial Governor; he would oversee the building of the Jiangchuan Provincial Governor office in Black Lion City. Of the remaining 11 Lords, four became Governors and seven became prefects. Of course, they were all shifted to other provinces.

Black Lion City's Jushou was appointed as the Administrative Mentor Court advisor secretary. With five top strategists, Ouyang Shuo's desire for the Guo Jia who had yet to appear lessened.

Jiangchuan Province's army troops were organized. Due to their peaceful surroundings, the armies of the 12 territories did not have much training, and their standards were even worse than the garrison forces.

Ouyang Shuo ordered the Privy Court to follow the way they disarmed the garrison forces to remove half of the territory armies. For the remaining elite force, apart from 20 thousand that were moved into the Auckland Formation, the remaining were organized into two War Fighting Legions.

Apart from the Guards Legion Corps, the current legion corps were all filled up. Hence, Ouyang Shuo decided to make a new legion corps – the Bear Legion Corps.

He appointed Chen Tang as the Legion General of the 1st legion and Pei Xingyan as the Major General of the 1st division.

Name: Chen Tang (King Rank)

Dynasty: West Han

Identity: Great Xia Bear Legion Corps 1st legion Legion General

Occupation: Advanced General

Loyalty: 80

Command: 78

Force: 70

Intelligence: 55

Politics: 55

Specialty: Unexpected Attack (raises troops attack strength by 10%, raises troops movement speed by 25%)

Evaluation: Chen Tang was a really courageous person who had the ability to think about the big picture. He was able to think up many strategies. He was famous in the Battle of Zhizi, shocking the barbarians. His fame spread everywhere.

Chen Tang's old Lord was the Lord of Qingyun City, Sparks, who had worked together with the Shanhai Alliance in the first two Battle Maps.

Within Jiangchuan Province, Sparks could be considered the ally of Gong Chengshi. The two of them controlled the situation in the province, which meant that the province was controlled by Great Xia. During this merger, Sparks became a Prefecture Governor.

Pei Renji was appointed as the 2nd legion Legion General.

Pei Renji had already reported the tracks of Li Mi to the Shanhai Guards. Just last night, the Shadow Guards sent out a group to his hiding spot to capture him. The truth would be out soon.

With that, Pei Renji earned Ouyang Shuo's trust, so he was given an important appointment.

Based on the plan, after this organization was completed, the Bear Legion Corps would be housed between Jiangchuan Province and Wannan Province to monitor Wannan Province.

The Yanhuang Alliance was currently busy with collecting Wannan Province. Weirdly, based on the intel provided by the Shanhai Guards, be it military action or the post war matters, it was all handled by Di Chen.

Maybe the Yanhuang Alliance was undergoing a huge change internally.

...

After announcing the appointments, Great Xia orderly took over Jiangchuan Province. Apart from that, there was no other news, which made the people looking on really disappointed. At the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief.

In a blink of an eye, the 5th year of Gaia arrived.

12th month, 30th day, a System Notification sounded out through the entire world.

”World Notification: At this point, Earth Online has run for four years, and the game will undergo its 5th update, effective immediately. Please go online to the official forums to take a look.”

The moment the notification came out, Ouyang Shuo immediately went online.

(1) Construction is 100% real time.

Along with the population of the wilderness increasing and the population density reaching average levels, Gaia removed the welfare of Lords. Be it building construction or weapons crafting, the speed buff was removed.

The construction time in the game would be the same as in real life. Take building one Z1 Type Warship as an example. Previously, it took just one month to build a Z1 Type Warship but now it would take four months.

With that, it not only was the crafting efficiency greatly reduced, but the costs were increased as well. At this point, Gaia demanded more from the ruling standards of the territory.

Those who could perfect their management would be able to stand out.

(2) Welcoming the natural disaster system.

In ancient agriculture societies, grain production was closely linked to the weather. Drought, floods, insects, and other natural disasters could cause production to be reduced or even result in getting nothing at all.

Basically, the Imperial Court would need to help out with these disasters each year, and the only difference would be the seriousness. There were even some disasters that would cause uprisings that could cause dynasties to fall.

Catastrophes were things that dynasties could not bear.

Although the game had a weather system, Gaia had really treated the people well.

Territories like Great Xia that had strong specialties would not even face any disasters.
