Chapter Seventy-Nine: Conspiracy
The eldest princess absentmindedly glanced at the perennial and refreshing scenery outside the window, and her fair-skinned and slender fingers gently connected the fallen white seeds into a four-in-one pattern, once again announcing the victory of herself and Yudeon in the game.
In just one month, Andre's invented games have begun to gradually replace the elves' original artistic creation as their main means of amusement. Whether it's badminton, reversi, or more elaborate wood-carved chess, they all greatly enrich the daily lives of the elves in the river valley. Let those carpenters whose work and leisure are occupied by wood carving experience some alternative fun that is different from the past.
In fact, elves didn't have anything like war chess before, but it was mainly used as a tool to deduce the war situation, and it needed to be used together with the exquisite sand table made by the ranger master. The deduction of the battle situation requires a keen sense of smell on the battlefield and cold-blooded and rich experience in casualty calculation, and different people and experiences will even lead to completely opposite results for the same battle situation.
Yudeon once asked the Children of the Abyss why they didn't set the image of the two sides of the war chess to symbolize the war between the people of Garandia and the demons, which would make it feel more real, and make the confrontation more engaged and intense.
Andre told him that if you have this kind of demand, it is not impossible to directly carve the black chess pieces into the appearance of demons.
The Great Druid, on the other hand, felt that the functions of the pawns on both sides were exactly the same, so it was not very convincing to see them as two races with far apart in superiority and civilization.
The Children of the Abyss, however, took Yudeon's advice and offered a completely different point of view.
It is not uncommon to set up several races with completely different civilizations, appearances, and even troops as the main content of the game, and its classic setting and inextricable confrontation have even led to the formation of a well-known fantasy culture among the player base.
But in fact, as a confrontation game, in order to ensure that both sides of the game can have relatively equal fun, the most important and primary factor is - balance.
However, the units set in the classic games of the previous life, and each of their characteristics, were finally finalized through continuous testing around the world and the continuous attempts of large-scale players that the network can carry. However, the reality is that even if André fully understands the core of the rules, it will take a lot of effort to complete a game with much simpler rules and a good balance. And even if he completes such a game alone, it is difficult to avoid that some of these loopholes will be discovered by the latecomers, and finally cause the entire game mode to completely deteriorate, and become the end of studying one or two routines.
The Children of the Abyss didn't have to put a lot of effort into becoming a professional game designer here, and the easiest and most effective way to ensure a balance in the game was to have both sides of the game play on equal terms. The various ancient board games in the previous life basically adopted similar methods, so that the only difference between the two sides is the difference between the hands.
When André stripped the original part of this theory about his past life to Judeon, the Great Druid realized that there was such an unknown wisdom hidden in a seemingly simple game. It's no wonder that the game he invented was able to delight most elves, including the eldest princess, in a short period of time.
Only then did Yudian gradually realize that this son of the abyss, who was revered by all the demons, was originally an alien genius who was not inferior to the eldest princess Luoshan!
A month later, on the day the first phase of the construction of the Andrari camp in the Emerald Valley was completed, His Highness personally planned a celebration feast that demonstrated to all the elves and dwarves his outstanding abilities as a leader.
......
Originally, the plan of the Children of the Abyss was to invite no less than 400 people, including the dwarves of the Greystone Clan, the carpenters dispatched by the Elven Village, and the Elven Ranger Brigade, to this official dinner hosted by Andrarui to celebrate the completion of the project on time and to thank her friends for their selfless help.
And Yudeen's first reaction after hearing about Andrei's plan was to reject the Son of the Abyss, who seemed to him to be too enthusiastic. Andrari's total number was less than a hundred, and the Grand Druid felt that it was a bit of a fantasy to host an open-air banquet of no less than five hundred people, including themselves.
From another point of view, if these demons suddenly have any different intentions, wouldn't this also create conditions for them to wipe out the dwarves and elves in the Emerald River Valley?
In the end, after the consultation between the Grand Druid and the Children of the Abyss, this grand dinner was finally decided to be in the form of a flowing water banquet, and the elven rangers, who made up the majority of the number, would join in batches to enjoy this special banquet based on alien culture.
Since Andrei's first phase of strategy has begun to bear fruit, although the elven rangers and carpenters still maintain a prejudice against these demons, their attitude towards Andrari is no longer blindly resistant to the fun brought by various games.
As for the stonemasons sent by the Limestone Clan, they have long since sunk into the Andrari Food and Wine Offensive, and have even made plans to settle here for a long time...... Otherwise, just more than a hundred demons, where would they need such a huge and perfect infrastructure plan?
A few days before the dinner, the rangers, who had relaxed their surveillance of Andrari, had already scattered out into the forest and the surrounding wilderness, busy with the ingredients for the grand celebration.
The orchards of Luotan Village bring an abundance of melons and fruits to Andrarui.
For the elves who have not yet established a monetary system, their daily material exchange is usually carried out in the form of barter. As a plantation jointly operated by the owners of the village, the food in it is more similar to the common property of the village.
The elves, relying on their special cultivation skills and the limited reproduction speed of their population, have basically eliminated the threat of famine to themselves in this bartering era of civilization.
Andrey, however, is already planning to put the implementation of a monetary system on the agenda. Although the current way of sharing resources between Andrari and the elves and dwarves can promote a harmonious relationship between them in a very short time, it also lays a hidden danger for Andrari's future development. The children of the abyss know very well that only by popularizing the idea of privatization of property is the fastest way to stimulate the formation of mass production and trade!
In terms of the current quality of life, the three ethnic groups living in the Emerald River Valley have enough wonderful life to enjoy. And this will greatly discourage people's enthusiasm for production - since they have no worries about food and clothing, why should they have to work hard and hard?
This kind of thinking is understandable for individuals, but for a nation and its regime, it is the beginning of its decline! Andrarui wants to really rise, not become a vassal of elves or dwarves, whether it is food, armament or economy, it must be accumulated in a large amount of time in a short period of time, and a new economic system will be established with this group of demons who bring new ideas as the main body.
The privatization of property and the introduction of money are the next steps that André will need to promote. It's just that in the face of elves and dwarves who are still largely in public ownership, and whose private goods are limited to clothing and equipment, there may still be obstacles in the direction that the Children of the Abyss have identified that he can hardly imagine now.
In such a situation, Princess Loshan Garandia, a member of the royal family of the Whispering Forest and the regent who has begun to gradually delinquish power, and one of the supreme leaders of the "Watchmen", plans to become an ordinary elven woman and has her first direct contact with Andrari, the leader of the Children of the Abyss.
Some things have to be done, and dragging them up is a short pain that becomes a long pain. I knew that I had a big problem with the structure of my writing, and this was naturally due to the immaturity of my first creation. The article seems bloated and the plot progresses slowly, not only because of the structure of the content, but also because the speed of my code is too slow. As a novice, in order to ensure the quality of the text, I have polished and revised each published chapter at least twice. If it weren't for this, I guess the version you've seen would have been a little worse, not to mention the specific purpose I wanted to achieve when I started writing this story. At least I hope that after the end of this book, my pen power and coding speed will be greatly improved, and at the moment it seems that the quality and results of this book are not ideal. Although the level is not enough, I still don't want my story to become a running account, and in order to achieve this goal, it may be a little difficult with my current ability. But as I said earlier, you can't stop doing it just because it's hard to do it! People grow because they force themselves. So I decided to put aside the important parts of the structure and content of the previous chapters, and put them down and streamline them if they were not so important, or the deep holes that might only be filled at the end. lest the stalls be spread too wide and therefore uncontrollable.
To sum up, my already poor update speed may be hit hard again, but I still try to ensure that there are two to three thousand daily updates, after all, the persistence of online creation is fundamental. In the days of the Turtle Update, I will slim down the content of the published and unpublished chapters. Strive to achieve the effect I want first, and improve the quality of the article!
As a lazy person, I may not be able to win by quantity in my life, but people always have to have some pursuits, don't they? You can't finish this book in a mess, and when you start the next one, you find that there is no difference between the original and the previous one, right?
Thank you for supporting my niche theme, but I think as long as the setting is in sync with the mainstream, there shouldn't be any so-called niche theme!
Above. Thanks again~~
