SWNOVELXO Chapter 585: 100 Years Later_2
The green-skinned goblin tilted its head back, muttering something under its breath.
It wasn't until the innkeeper offered him a glass of beer that he revealed the truth: "A temple! A hidden shrine on the turtle's back! It must be a highly advanced civilization relic, established on a 16th-level anomaly."
The crowd gasped in amazement and then inquired about its exact location.
The goblin shook his head: "Alas, that crystal turtle, who knows where it's gone, such a pity..."
Everyone treated it as nothing more than a curious tale.
After all, goblins were known to be rife with lies.
However, this news quietly spread out.
Some even occasionally claimed to have seen the giant crystal turtle, along with the ancient temple on its back.
Thus, it gradually evolved into an unsolved mystery of the North.
...
In Epoch 311, the prestige of the Human 18th Civilization finally spread throughout the Northern Territory.
Even the most isolated races came to recognize the prosperity and strength of the Lücao Trading Market.
The establishment of order is indeed not an overnight achievement.
While humans enjoyed the trade dividends, they also slowly promoted the development of the Northern Territory.
Industrial standards, educational systems, and talent schemes not only radiated their influence but also nourished their development.
...
In Epoch 318, the "Reproduction Field" appeared in this world for the first time.
Its function was to stimulate extraordinary life's desire to reproduce, increasing reproduction chances.
Notably, this field wasn't developed by Lu Yuan but by a human craftsman, Li Datie, during a burst of inspiration.
Although it still used some entropy elements, it indeed proved that others besides Lu Yuan could also broaden this path.
This was an excellent thing!
It greatly motivated other craftsmen's enthusiasm for work!
...
In Epoch 328, the first batch of Sky Cities were delivered to the target clients, a total of six!
These cities were generally not very large, roughly only 50 square kilometers, yet they heralded a new era for the North—giant cities that could move freely!
This transaction was indeed a win-win choice.
Humans earned precious civilization points, and the clients acquired the modern cities they yearned for. 50 square kilometers, if used well, could accommodate one or two million residents!
And these giant cities came with a level 2 civilization technology chain, far more than mere concrete blocks!
After experiencing their wonders, more races were eager and restless to purchase a Sky City.
This business truly began to take off.
...
In Epoch 339, Lu Yuan created a special field—"Concentration Field"!
Being in the field can greatly enhance concentration.
While engaged in tedious and monotonous tasks, one can focus entirely, almost forgetting the passage of time.
It's definitely the best tool for sweatshops!
Lu Yuan, of course, used it on... craftsmen.
By now, the resident craftsmen at the Lücao Trading Market had reached five thousand!
What does the concept of five thousand disciples mean?
Even a Level 5 Civilization would be ecstatic to have a few hundred craftsmen!
This is a tremendous number, and through exchanges and clashes, new ideas spark daily.
Thus, without Lu Yuan's direct supervision, the discipline of "Field Industrialization" was bravely pioneered!
"Friends, the Concentration Field is my gift to you all. It can enhance concentration and slightly accelerate the accumulation of inspiration."
Although Lu Yuan only held a nominal position at the craftsman university, he was still highly respected.
"I want to establish a hall in the trading market."
"Everyone who contributes and publishes papers will have their name inscribed in the hall."
"Should anyone make outstanding contributions, I will personally create a sculpture to place in the hall, so that together we will be remembered by history."
The emergence of the "Concentration Field" caused a small sensation.
This unique atmosphere felt reminiscent of the ancient classical era of Greece, where one could explore and research freely, unfettered by racial barriers or economic constraints.
The allure of being recorded in history presented a temptation before everyone, further sparking a wave of enthusiasm in research!
With several successes before them, field industrialization had already proven to be a promising path.
Now, this path was at the easiest stage to bear fruit, and everyone understood this.
"Master Lu, where is your statue? I don't see it," a dwarf craftsman shouted, "The Pioneer's achievements should be the greatest, right?"
"If you don't put up your statue, how can we deserve it?"
"Haha, my statue is right here!" Lu Yuan cheerfully carried out a stele without inscriptions.
[Nameless Stele]
[Master Craftsman Lu Yuan believes that his creative achievements should be judged by future generations and thus has set up this blank stele.]
"Hiss..."
Seeing the shocked and excited craftsmen below, Lu Yuan felt a little guilty, suspecting that he might have copied some renowned figure from ancient Great Dong Country?
But soon, he remained calm and composed.
His history hadn't ended yet, and he might achieve more in the future, so there was no need to write his biography just yet?
...
In Epoch 363, Field Industrialization continued to thrive!
Currently, lower-difficulty fields like the Spirit Plant Field and Reproduction Field have emerged; moderate-difficulty fields like the Safely Field (improves sleep quality and rest efficiency) and Reconnaissance Field (checks unknown extraordinary power); higher-difficulty fields like the Concentration Field and sheltered area.
