Chapter 842 – Great Xia Dynasty

4th month, 12th day, Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo was naturally feeling good since the country establishment quests had breakthrough developments. He gave Zhang Ziyue the sword when he passed them in the Satellite City because she had told him that she wanted a Dark Gold Rank long sword in his previous life.

To them in the past, a Dark Gold Rank weapon was a dream.

Hence, the moment he saw her, Ouyang Shuo did not know why but his desire for revenge toward the Liangshan Mercenary Group dimmed, and the demons in his heart also seemed to have disappeared right away.

“Let nature takes its course!”

Ouyang Shuo did not want to purposely take revenge against Liangshan Mercenary Group. Just like what Jianqi Leiyin said, since there was a barrier between the two parties, it was best if they remained separated.

The demons in his heart before establishing the country had been removed. The game world in the 4th year of Gaia was already totally different from the last life.

Ouyang Shuo’s second life benefits were coming to an end, but he had also managed to create a special and great Shanhai City.

With these two points, Ouyang Shuo felt confident about getting past all difficulties ahead. … There was more great news the moment Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City. With the hard work of the mathematicians of the Federation, they had solved the 10th divination and completed an academic breakthrough.

The Industrialization Department was also doing well, The Emperor had already entered the waters and all the tests would be completed in a few days. With that, the second country establishment quest would be completed.

Ouyang Shuo was really excited. After discussing with Jiang Shang and the other officials, he decided that the 18th of the 4th month would be the day they established their country.

Before this, the decision for the title of the dynasty came to a close.

After all the officials discussed the matter thoroughly, they decided to use Xia as the title.

The great Xia Dynasty.

Xia was the start of dynasties, the beginning of Chinese civilization, and it was the most orthodox.

The day they settled on the title, the Honglu Temple sent out more than 100 envoys to send invitations to the various powers.

Ouyang Shuo did not care whether they would come or not, he would just send the invitations over. Even members of Yanhuang Alliance received invitations. Ouyang Shuo wanted to see how Di Chen and the others would deal with the situation.

Shanhai City establishing their country was a huge glory for China.

The moment the news went public, people felt their blood boil.

If it were not for Shanhai City announcing in advance that players would be restricted from entering the city to protect law and order, more than half of the players in the country would try to swarm in to witness this historical moment.

After learning that the Dynasty title would be Xia, they were even more emotional and could not help but give their support.

A new forum post was made to congratulate Shanhai City for establishing their country and to celebrate the birth of the Great Xia Dynasty. The moment the post went out, thousands of people replied instantly, and it broke ten thousand replies in just five minutes.

In just one day, five million people replied to the post.

Not only normal people, but even guild leaders, chambers of commerce leaders, and the like all replied. Unexpectedly, even overseas players sent their congratulations.

These Lords from overseas were all grassroots leaders who were not able to personally rush over due to the distance. Hence, they could only use such a method to show their support.

Along with the previous incident, Silver Hand had appeared in the view of all the players.

Amongst the well-wishers were a few Chinese Lords that Ouyang Shuo was interested in, including Avera from Australia and Jason Chang from New Zealand.

Ouyang Shuo’s goal for the next voyage was Oceania as there was an ancient civilization on the level of Atlantis there for him to explore.

Australia and New Zealand also had resources that Shanhai City needed.

The well wishes of Avera and Jason Chang undoubtedly made Ouyang Shuo feel good.

Unknowingly, Shanhai City had made a really good name for themselves all over the world.

In such a situation with such a special atmosphere, would Di Chen and the others dare try anything funny to stop Shanhai City from establishing their country?

Ouyang Shuo was excited to find out.

After receiving the invitation, Feng Qiuhuang, Gong Chengshi, Wufu, Xiang Yu, Kalia, and the Ouyang Shuo’s other friends all confirmed their attendance.

Kalia also specially sent a letter to say that she would give him a big surprise on the 17th.

Every confirmation of attendance was reflected on Ouyang Shuo’s panel.

On the 4th month, 14th day, the quest was now at 42/50. The difficulty was greater than he had anticipated.

Basically, all the neutral Lords did not give any eager replies, and even some of the Lords that Ouyang Shuo had confidence in surprisingly did not give an answer.

It seems like Silver Hand had stepped out to block it.

“What a troublemaker.”

Ouyang Shuo was not in a rush. The Honglu Temple was still doing their things, and no one would know what happens until the last minute.

…

On the 4th month, 15th day, a milestone event happened in the China Region.

At 7 PM, the first 5D movie, Jiangshan Beauty, was released by Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings; this movie produced by Qingcheng Studio was officially revealed to the public.

That afternoon, Gaia opened a movie panel that was different from real life. After all, actual cinemas did not exist in the game. However, Gaia could provide unlimited personal VIP suites, giving everyone the utmost enjoyment.

Those who liked to watch together could even apply to combine their suites to form a huge hall.

Compared to real life, this was so much cooler.

Without a physical cinema, there was no need to make physical films rows.

Of course, Gaia was not a saint. With all these benefits, Gaia would take 20% of the sales as fees. It was much better than that of real life cinemas.

The tickets were priced at 12 silver. In the 4th year where goods’ prices were inflated, it was a really affordable price.

Thanks to half a month of advertisements, Ouyang Shuo’s personally promotion, Wu Qingcheng’s superstar name, and the title of first 5D film, it was a hot topic before it was even released.

Jiangshan Beauty was the last roll of the dice for Wu Qingcheng. After the Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings was formed, they also helped provide the studio with outstanding talents.

From director, actors, cameramen, martial arts designers, costume designers, and more, they were all top class.

Compared to the last life where Qingcheng Studio fought alone, it was a lot stronger this time.

Amongst which, some of the main characters even killed themselves to change their class to generals and chivalrous experts to create more realistic effects. Song Jia asked the elite group of Snow-War Rose to power level them and gave them many secret manuals and equipment.

With that, the main characters did not need any substitutes and the effects were extremely realistic.

In terms of the specifics and the details, the film was really strict. Like Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia was invested in this project. If she wanted to do it, she wanted it done to the best.

During the shooting process, a lot of the material was taken from the Battle of Yunnan and Lingnan. The Battle of Wulin was one where the Dongli Sword Sect participated in, and the scenes were explosive.

There were many costumes in the film that were personally designed by Qing’er. Not only were they exquisite, but they also had an olden classic flavor.

One could say that this was a masterpiece.

That night, it blew up.

After players finished watching, they were so riled up that they could not sleep, running to look at the comments of the film.

“This is a true 5D film. Being part of it, I was so scared that I could not even fall asleep.”

“It’s too real, what a masterpiece!”

“Jiangshan Beauty is the best Chinese film I have ever seen. And this is a film that only Chinese can understand.”

“Two word, Cool! Two words, very cool! I did not expect the film made in the game to have such an effect!”

“It made my blood boil. I want to change class; I want to be a chivalrous expert!”

“Jiangshan Beauty is not only a film; it’s one with deep meaning.”

“Through Jiangshan Beauty, I can foresee the unstoppable rise of the film industry in the game. Qiyue Wuyi’s piece in the Quick Daily News is going to come through.”

That night, the game forums were pretty much taken over by Jiangshan Beauty.

The fame and ratings of the film rose, and more and more players started to log on to watch it.

At 12 in the evening, more than 15 million people had viewed the film. One must know that in the last life, Jiangshan Beauty only had 20 million views.

Even after midnight, the passion of the players did not stop.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one, especially to those who loved films.

… In the blink of an eye, it was already the 4th month, 16th day, and there was still no progress in their efforts regarding the 3rd quest. No matter how the Honglu Temple envoys tried to persuade them, those Lords all kept their silence.

They did not reject but did not agree either.

The matter was left just like that. If they could not have 50 Lords on the day, it would be awkward. Ouyang Shuo was feeling depressed, and even the release of Jiangshan Beauty was affected by his terrible emotions.

On this morning, Shanhai City welcomed three envoys, and the news that they brought made Ouyang Shuo ecstatic.
