Chapter 392: Sandbox Lord

Chapter 392: Sandbox Lord
“The boring trolley problem.”

In sharing space.

Li Zhongren and others gathered again and watched the live broadcast from the front.

This is how they pass the time most of the time.

It means that everyone can go together to see some of Li Zhongren’s latest experiences. After all, this will create a sense of freshness.

"If it were you, what would you do?"

One of them, Li Zhongren, asked.

"Me? Of course I just copied the ready-made template."

"What template?"

"It's not like the people in these other worlds who don't take human life seriously."

“It’s about uniting all the forces that can be united.”

"Build two hospitals in seven days."

"Nearly 100,000 medical workers from across the country went to provide support."

"People across the country, nearly 1.4 billion people, are self-isolating at home."

"When some people have complaints and start trouble, the vast majority of people share the same hatred for the country and collectively criticize those who are causing trouble."

"This is not something that can be accomplished by one person or one force. It requires the cooperation of everyone."

"And the prerequisite for such cooperation is to spend enough time to lay a foundation of mutual trust."

"So, no matter what purpose this sage had in creating this illusion, the final result was just that."

As he spoke, Hokage Li stretched and shook his neck.

"No need to watch it anymore. Let's get ready and welcome the newcomers."

As he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to one place.

Today, the analytics space has changed dramatically.

Under reconstruction.

It looks more modern here.

The darkness of nothingness turned into a technological building.

Then right in front, there is a door that can capture the signal.

When the green stripes reach the maximum level, the door will open to welcome newcomers.

And at this moment, the green stripes are just full.

The door slowly opens
Another Li Zhongren walked in.
-
"So, reincarnation is a science."

Li Zhongren opened his eyes.

Just right.

The morning light penetrated the colored crystal glass of the bedroom window.

Not far away, two beautiful maids were already waiting there, one of them holding a urinal in her hand.

Li Zhongren, who was lying under the velvet curtain, stretched slowly and sat up slowly.

The maid came over without being reminded and began to take care of Li Zhongren's daily life.

This is what he calls the technique of reincarnation.

He encountered a world of swords and magic.

This world seems to be called Furen, the same name as the previous world where Li Zhongren is located. However, there is no invasion from the Blue Star in this world. It is a standard magical world.

His identity: the son of a baron, the only son.

Because in the midst of a disaster, the Baron and his family went together to see the god they believed in.

He was the only one who survived.

So, although he was only the youngest child, he inherited everything as a matter of course.

It went as smoothly as if he was a constipated patient using a suppository.

So much so that all his servants were talking behind his back, wondering if he had killed their entire family.

He was not willing to debate such rumors.

Because people only believe what they want to believe.

Moreover, because of this incident, the servants were very afraid and in awe of him.

This is a good thing.

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. When he was a noble, if you asked him to revolutionize himself, he would not be able to do it. After all, he is not a saint.
The maid held a silver basin filled with mountain spring water and rose petals.

Li Zhongren washed his face and brushed his teeth.

She changed into her everyday casual clothes, a dress woven by the Flemish Embroiderers, an organization similar to a luxury brand.

The fleur-de-lis embroidered in gold thread still had the scent of rue, which kept away insects.

"What do you want for breakfast this morning?"

Li Zhongren asked casually.

"Master, today is the day to slaughter the cow, so in the morning we will have your favorite sea salt grilled beef tongue, tulip bread, and a bottle of 58-year-old distilled wine, grape flavor."

"Ah."

Li Zhongren nodded, then nodded his little brother's head, shook off the residue on it, shook it again, and walked towards the restaurant.

This is how he goes every morning.

Unpretentious and boring.

So, compared with those other Li Zhongren, he is undoubtedly lucky.

Even more fortunately, he also established a connection with the sharing space and successfully created his own plug-in.

Therefore, other Li Zhongrens are jealous of their own shit.

Haha
In the restaurant, Li Zhongren was quietly enjoying his breakfast.

Behind him, the maid stood there quietly.

Not far away, his butler was reporting what had been recorded yesterday and what was about to happen today.

Of course, overall, it's no big deal.

Nowadays, there is no large-scale war within the kingdom. His territory is flanked by dense forests, the Ques Forest and the Miasma Forest. The former is rich in poisonous snakes, and the latter is rich in miasma. To the south is a huge steam lake, and to the north is a mountain range.

In other words, his territory cannot be expanded, and it will take some effort for outsiders to come in.

After all, the seemingly calm surface of the Steam Lake is filled with the smell of sulfur, because underneath the lake is a huge volcano.

When a ship sails on it, the crew will inhale the mist and become poisoned.

This is actually very easy to solve, just cover your mouth and nose or something like that.

What makes Steam Lake difficult to navigate is precisely the warmth of the water itself.

The water here is rich in many creatures that are not afraid of sulfur, and there are many big fish that feed on these creatures.

Finally, the cycle gave rise to a super-large water monster.

On the Blue Star, the water monster is just a gimmick created by people.

In the Steam Lake, water monsters appear in groups.

Its positioning is almost similar to the Sea King class in the One Piece world.

Without enough experience, trying to sail in the Steam Lake is tantamount to suicide. Crossing the mountains is the best option, but is it worth it for a territory like this?

This allows his family to live a peaceful but luxurious life here safely.

In fact, according to family records, Li Zhongren’s ancestors in this life deliberately chose this place.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, Li Zhongren's life would probably have passed peacefully.

But that's life, how could there be no accidents?

"So, you're saying that a suspected witch was found in my territory?"

"Yes Master."

The butler nodded.

"She is the daughter of a blacksmith. She can control fire. When she was helping her father, she was discovered and reported to me. I have already arrested her and put her in jail. I did not wake you up yesterday because you were already asleep."

Witches are a special supernatural system in this world.

This is the result of Li Zhongren's analysis from his own perspective. Why should we report a witch if she exists?

The reason is actually very simple.

Li Zhongren in other worlds, like Li Zhongren in Steam London, also encountered similar problems.

That is, being a witch is an ability that is passed down through blood.

It is essentially the same as the Sharingan.

The Uchiha clan is full of psychopaths.

The same goes for witches.

Their abilities are directly proportional to their emotions.

However, these women have not received a normal education and have not learned how to control their emotions and their power.

Therefore, as time goes by, these witches' minds will slowly be distorted by their power.

Became synonymous with terror.

To put it bluntly, it affects the rule of the nobility.

Therefore, in the whole of Faerun, people would rather kill the wrong witch than let her go.

Even if a noble dared to conceal the existence of a witch in his territory, he would be stripped of his noble title.

After all, in this world, apart from witches, the orthodox channels for obtaining the inheritance of extraordinary powers are basically in the hands of major forces.

Only witches are innate, powerful, and yet uncontrollable.

“How many people know about this?”

Li Zhongren put down his fork and wiped the corners of his mouth.

He had already finished a plate of ox tongue. He really loved eating it, but even he couldn't kill a cow every few days to eat its tongue. After all, he was just a small baron. Only a grand duke who controlled hundreds of thousands of square kilometers could do this.

The area actually controlled by him in his territory is about the size of a town, with some satellite villages around it. Of course, the forests on both sides and the mountains behind him actually belong to him. He has the right to mine, which is also the most important source of income for his territory.

Sells wood and copper ore.

But those places are usually empty.

"Your Excellency, many people have seen it."

"Then follow the rules."

Li Zhongren shrugged.

Even though the Iris Family had the final say in Iris City, when it came to the witch, all they had to do was report to their superior, Viscount Farol, and then, layer by layer, finally send the witch to the Border Kingdom, which was the capital of his country.

Of course, this is nothing, after all, even ordinary people are afraid of witches.

But don't forget the witch herself.

Since the witch can make the whole continent treat her like this, she must have some extraordinary qualities.

After so many years of accumulation, the most famous organization in the continent of Faerun is the Seven Sisters.

This is a powerful organization composed of seven witches. They are dedicated to rescuing witches. If there are witches in the nobles' territory, they will come and take them away.

So, here comes the problem.

If he does this matter too carefully, then this organization will bear a grudge against him, and then you can't expect the kingdom to seek justice for you. Nowadays, the Border Kingdom has developed for hundreds of years and has already reached its peak.

The death of some small lords will leave the territory empty.

"Yes, Master, I will do it now."

The butler nodded and turned to leave.

The so-called following the rules means publicizing it in a big way, sending the witch out, and not hiding anything along the way. If the seven sisters want to intervene, they will kidnap the people, and then the nobles can shirk their responsibilities. It's not that we don't follow the rules, but we really can't defeat this organization. After all, this is a powerful organization that spans the entire world of Faerun. Not to mention a small noble, even the border kingdom is unwilling to provoke them head-on.

The above is the second accident, the witch incident.

The first accident was what happened to Li Zhongren himself.

In fact, Li Zhongren seriously suspected that the death of his predecessor's entire family was related to similar things.

However, the other party miscalculated and did not expect that he would survive and never leave the house again.

Li Zhongren stood up, walked to the window and looked outside.

The restaurant was located on the top floor of the castle. Through the crystal windows, he could easily overlook the entire Iris City.

If he had only doubted the accident before, now he had reason to believe that it might really be aimed at him.

After all, there are no such coincidences in the world, and the birth of a witch is also a very low probability event.

Two things came together.
"Fortunately, I have a cheat."

Li Zhongren raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked towards the study.

It seemed that he was sitting there reading a book, but in fact, in front of him, there was a three-dimensional Iris City and its surroundings floating, which only he could see.

It's exactly the same as the real Iris City.

This is his plug-in, called Sandbox Lord.

The functions are as follows:

1. Eye of God: Within his sphere of influence, that is, the area he can actually control, his main city, and the satellite villages that can radiate. Within this area, he can see any place as if from a God's perspective, and no one can stop him. This area will expand as his sphere of influence expands.

2. Hand of God: His thoughts can be transformed into an invisible gas hand to interfere with this sandbox world. The range of the hand is the same as that of the eyes, but the difference is that the eyes do not have to pay anything, but if you want to use the hand, you have to pay a price.

The price is prestige.

Yes, on one side of this plug-in, there is a charging bar in the shape of a golden wheat ear.

There are seventy-two grains of wheat in total.

Each time you use the Hand of God, you need to pay a grain of wheat.

The duration of each grain of wheat is five minutes.

The way to gain prestige is to build a territory and make the people in the territory recognize you from the bottom of their hearts. In this way, everyone will generate a certain amount of prestige every day and be absorbed by Li Zhongren.

For example, right now, Li Zhongren has been implementing a policy of laissez-faire in recent years, allowing the territory to recuperate. Apart from the necessary taxes, he will not disturb the civilians on weekdays. This has allowed him to have five grains of wheat when the system was activated.

In other words, he can use the Hand of God for thirty minutes.

Moreover, because the plug-in is shared with him, those brothers will not treat him unfairly. He is also given an automatic pause timing function. The countdown will only start when interacting with the outside world. He will not be delayed by the other party.

Otherwise, if the other party procrastinates madly, you can only save one grain of wheat in a year on average.

You will still be played to death.
