Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 863: Chapter 821 A true man lives in the world, how can he remain unfulfilled for long under others!_1

“Qie, Victoria’s already gone to Chang’an County to check out the left half of Chang’an City. Are you still not moving into the city?”

In Super Tomato’s live streaming room, fans were reporting the progress of others while urging him to move into the city quicker.

After all, compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, Super Tomato’s place was truly dull and uninteresting.

He did locate the bandits’ lair, but it was just a regular hideout in the mountains, not even scenically attractive.

The people living there were even less noteworthy, aside from an astonishingly tall female bandit who stood 1.96 meters tall. Everyone else was ordinary and unimpressive.

Yet, obviously, “Giantess” wasn’t a widely widespread sexual quirk in Daxia. The audience was only astonished at the beginning, and quickly lost interest afterwards.

However, Super Tomato had already started asking around for other hideouts nearby.

He planned on stirring up these bandits to attack surrounding hideouts and unify all the bandits around Chang’an—

“Boss! We’ve got blades and bows, men and horses, and your invincible kung fu! Plus my surprising strategies, all those neighboring, insignificant hides would pose no challenge at all!”

“Our first step is to annex the five hideouts around us, then attract refugees, kidnap craftsmen, reclaim the wasteland, station troops and arrange grains, and construct fortifications…”

“Who says we can’t make significant accomplishments when chaos hits the world!”

“???” Bandits leader’s head was full of question marks.

What’s this newly recruited guy talking about?

Seizing territory, becoming a big-shot thief? Fighting for supremacy across the world?

He looked around the village that had less than 100 people — half of them were children, the elderly, women or the weak. At that moment, he started to doubt if the little fellow was insane.

“Stop daydreaming. The Tang Dynasty is thriving now, and you are thinking about chaos? ”

The bandit leader clearly did not agree with Super Tomato’s “proposal”, “Even if that day comes, our situation might not be better than it is now.”

Super Tomato, however, wouldn’t give up: “Boss, unexpected things happen. The fate of a dynasty is unpredictable.”

“To be honest, last year I met an old immortal who was an expert at divination, and the old immortal told me, at most, the world will be in chaos within two years!”

“We need to prepare early!”

Of course, the old immortal was a made-up character, but it’s undeniable that war would break out in two years.

Although watching comments revealed that Cloud Dream had been doing strange things in Chang’an City, Super Tomato didn’t believe that Cloud Dream would so easily change the major historical trend.

Everyone has their own limitations, and it’s even more so for NPCs.

Even though the bandit leader was designed with secondary intelligence, he just couldn’t imagine there would be a great turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, which was currently flourishing, in two years.

So despite Super Tomato’s incessant explanations, he didn’t believe it at all.

“Stop talking nonsense. Even if such day comes, how many crops can we harvest in two years? How much money can we rob? Without money or food, we’d be lucky just to survive the tumultuous period. And you’re still considering going to war?”

“Food? Money? I’ll raise them for you!” Super Tomato took it all onto himself.

The bandit leader confirmed to himself: The newly accepted younger brother definitely had a mental problem.

He gestured around the village: “There are just a hundred people here. After taking down the five neighbouring villages and losing more people, can we make a hundred of the young and strong ones? Using this number of people to fight for the world?”

“I’ll recruit more people for you!” Super Tomato continued to draw the big picture.

“Even if you recruit them, I won’t be able to afford them.”

“No need, they bring their own dry food!” Super Tomato said decisively.’

Actually, players won’t die if they don’t eat. Their attributes will just slightly decrease when in a hungry state. But to be able to have this kind of excitement, players would definitely be willing to bring their own dry food.

It seemed like he had been stalled without words by Super Tomato, so the bandit leader asked, “So how many people do you think you can recruit?”

Super Tomato thought for a moment. The game just launched today and everyone was busy exploring, so he gave a conservative estimate:

“10,000 people?”

In his opinion, with Cloud Dream’s technological abilities, bringing ten thousand people into his game shouldn’t be a problem.

And as for his local storage — he had already procured a game cabin from Lincoln, and purchased a batch of [Peace Paradise] extension plugins. He was not concerned about this problem at all.

However, the bandit leader was more confused: “Ten thousand people??”

“Yes! At least! If necessary, we can continue to expand.” Super Tomato was full of confidence.

But the bandit leader said, “If you really can gather ten thousand people, why come looking for me?”

“Why not become the King of the Mountain Thieves yourself?”

“?” Hearing this, Super Tomato was first taken aback, then he blinked and said, “That seems… reasonable!”

The miserable failure during the closed beta was because the players didn’t have a combat system and couldn’t resist the official army.

But now, everyone knows kung fu; everyone is a Superman!

There are even higher-level weapons. If you also get a horse and become a cavalry, and finally upgrade to a [Iron Buddha] with Blacksmith Big Brother, you would be essentially invincible in this era!

As long as they charge in formation, what military formation can resist?

With the speed of players, as long as they are truly motivated and devoted, the formation would be shocking fast.

Building high walls, storing abundant food, delaying corona…

You don’t need it at all!

At most one month, or even half a month if fast, a player’s army of tens of thousands, armed to the teeth, self-carrying food, not afraid of death, and can appear in the city at any moment, will be formed!

Two years later, An-Shi Rebellion?

Stop joking! You won’t wait until then! Players can storm into the Rising Palace this month, capture Li Longji alive, and let the emperor command the world.

Who said Anloshan can rebel in this world, and I Super Tomato cannot?

— I just don’t know if the game allows the emperor to abdicate.

Super Tomato felt more and more that there was something to do the more he thought about it!

So when he looked at the bandit leader again, his eyes were a bit wrong —

‘That being said, it seems like you are useless, Mr. bandit!’

At first, he thought that after checking out the bandit’s lair, he would go to Chang’an City to report it, lead the way, eliminate the bandit’s lair, and gain some merits.

But now it seems, this plan can be abandoned.

This place can completely become a base for players! After all, if you want to train large-scale cavalry, there are some limitations in Chang’an City.

…

“Ah Qie, everyone has made it to the horse farm, when will you start playing the game?”

Audiences in the live broadcast room reported the news again.

“Enter the city now!” Super Tomato finally decided to enter the city, “But wait for me to post first.”

While saying this, Super Tomato opened the Cloud Dream Forum, quickly edited a [Hero Post] and posted it, then finally started heading to Chang’an City.

And his post, was immediately pushed to the front of the forum by a large number of fans and netizens —

[A true man is born in this world, how can he live under the people for a long time! [Great Tang’s Iron Buddha] recruitment begins!]

Outside the capital, bandits run wild!

The lives of merchants and civilians are like ants!

Chang’an’s nobles, indifferent to the people’s suffering, engage in intrigues and indulge in pleasures all day.

Li Longji trusts the foreign relatives, listens blindly, and is no longer a wise monarch.

The emperor on the seat is not holy, and the courtiers in front of the temple are all treacherous!

At this time of crisis, why don’t the knowledgeable people in the world come out and clean the filth and purify the world?!

[Great Tang’s Iron Buddha] is officially established today!

Welcome all aspiring people to join and create glory together!

In the forum full of discussions on tasks, plots, items, martial arts secrets… and so on, this post is undoubtedly very striking. Almost immediately, it received a large number of replies:

“Ward Fa! What on earth is this development?”

“As expected of you, Super Tomato. While we’re still playing supernatural detective here, you’re starting to fight for the world already, right?”

“The true definition of ‘No matter a noble or a commoner, it’s the character that counts’!”

“…Aren’t you afraid of accidentally killing the key NPC of a later mission and never finding your sister again?”

“Just joking, once Chang’an City is taken, there’d be plenty of good sisters! It seems like he lost a sister, but in reality, he gained countless sisters! This move, this move is a bloody bargain!””
