At the end of the Story of the Twin Dragon Mount, the Book of Civilization with the background of the Han Dynasty was shown to have been added to the settlement.

  After that, the story ended with the arrival of Zhao Yun, who answered the call of the Snow Spear and became the first Transcendent hero of the settlement.

  “The Han Dynasty? There was the genius military general Han Xin, the great strategist Zhang Liang, the Marquess of Champion Huo Qubing, the ‘Flying General’ Li Guang……”

  “Isn’t the Eastern Han followed by the Three Kingdoms? The Twin Dragon Mount has the Three Kingdoms background now, and that’s great. Now that we’ve got the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, the Journey to the West could be next, couldn’t it?”

  Many of the new players were excited as they watched the scenes of the Battlefield of Providence, and they grew even more so when they saw that the Twin Dragon Mount now had the Han and Three Kingdoms backgrounds.

  “Zhao Yun? The man in the silver armor is Zhao Yun!”

  “Gosh! Zhao Zilong of Changshan! He’s my hero!”

  “If all the warriors in the world have a kilogram of luck, Zilong alone has two kilos, while the rest of them set him back by a kilo!”

  Zhao Yun was observably more popular than the rest of the heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount.

  Pa!

  All the images vanished after that, and the Mirage Dragon Pearl in Ji Ye’s hand became much dimmer.

  The review of the Twin Dragon Mount lasted for over half an hour, and a large number of people and events were involved. Conjuring a vision of such a scale was a big challenge for the practitioner.

  But Ji Ye no longer found it a big challenge.

  Because in the City of Humans, through an exchange, the Twin Dragon Mount got their hands on some objects that could improve one’s mental and spiritual powers.

  By now, Ji Ye’s mental power had reached Extraordinary Rank-7.

  However, creating the Story of the Twin Dragon Mount with the Mirage Dragon Pearl was also why he was able to make such rapid progress.

  He discovered that when he fused his Dragon Aura into the Mirage Dragon Pearl to activate the illusion, he was able to constantly hone his mental power.

  It was even more efficient than training it with the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique.

  Especially during the last month of the Battlefield of Providence when he reached the Adept stage of the Left and Right Inter-fighting, he was able to practice the Yin and Yang Sutra while refining his mental power with the Mirage Dragon Pearl. That way, his cultivation level wouldn’t fall behind.

  Once the “documentary” was over, Ji Ye didn’t have to worry about anything else.

  “Now, if you would all form a line and make your registration at the desk on the right, where that flag is!”

  An Quan gave the instruction to the new players.

  After the Battlefield of Providence, An Quan had successfully made it to Extraordinary Rank-5, and with some time-consuming effort, he had learned Voice Far Away from Reverend Yideng.

  \r \r \r

  Although it wasn’t as advanced as Ji Ye’s skill, which had been improved through Fusion, it was effective enough to be used as a loudspeaker.

  An Quan had also obtained the Applet talent skill, which enabled him to repeat the same sentence over and over again like a real loudspeaker!

  It took them an entire day to sort through nearly a thousand new players.

  It wasn’t until the following noon that the management personnel of the Twin Dragon Mount finally had time to have a meeting in the conference room that was sealed off by a black Sound Stone and guarded by dozens of settlement soldiers.

  “We’re here today to discuss the preparation that’s needed because the new task has already been activated.”

  Ji Ye looked around the room. The twenty or so people, including the heroes, all looked exhausted.

  That was right. The new task had already started.

  Exactly one day after the third batch of new players arrived at the Land of Inheritance, everyone heard the announcement of the new task in their heads.

  [Your settlement has successfully defeated its rivals and become the winner of the previous stage.

  [However, it was only just the beginning. In the process of the development of a civilization or race, they need to face not only the competition with other races but also all kinds of difficulties.

  [The settlement task “A Hundred Vying Barges” starts from now!

  [Task requirement one: elevate your settlement to the Transcendent level.

  [Task requirement two: successfully reach the “destination”.]

  The task started earlier than they had expected, and the management team of the Twin Dragon Mount had to put the induction procedure of the new players aside to hold a conference here.

  “However, before we proceed to anything else……

  “Chief Su, if you would please introduce us to our new friends.”

  Apart from the usual management personnel, there were also a dozen or so new players in the room. Some of them looked uneasy, and some tried to calm themselves down by taking deep breaths.

  “This is Elder Zhou, a senior sociology professor of Southwest Province University and a member of the Academy of Social Sciences.”

  Su Nongying nodded.

  The first player she introduced was a hale and hearty old man around 70 years old with bright eyes.

  “Hello, everyone! I’m Zhou Yuejin.”

  Just like Elder Jiao, the old man also had a name that was characteristic of his time.

  And he also a social status as high as Elder Jiao, who was also an academician.

  In Chidragon, the highest academic title for engineering and science was academician. Liberal arts majors did not have that title, but “members of the academic department” was of the same importance as academicians, and there were much fewer of them, making them even a rarer kind.

  What was worth mentioning was that the old man was also an old acquaintance of Ji Ye.

  Professor Zhou’s ID on the Land of Inheritance forum was “Fishing At Sunset”.

  Yes, the “networking” method that Ji Ye had speculated worked. He had successfully invited the elder-level talent to the Twin Dragon Mount.

  Elder Zhou wasn’t the only one. Two other people that Ji Ye had contacted on the forum had arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount as well.

  “Mr. Zhao is an electromechanical expert and deputy chief engineer of the Western Electric Power Group!”

  The second person Su Nongying introduced was a man in his early fifties and slight in stature.

  The Western Electric Power Group was a famous company of Yang City and one of the Top 500 companies of Chidragon.

  Although Yang City was only a fourth-tier city, it was a major equipment manufacturing base. Several well-known government enterprises were located there.

  In a company, the chief engineer did not necessarily need to be the most skilled, but the deputy chief engineer must be capable.

  The Twin Dragon Mount was now starting to develop electric power, so this “master” talent came in very handy.

  Su Nongying went on to introduce many other new players who had talents that the settlement was in desperate need of.

  “Lin Dong, an architect and urban planner, once won the National Urban Planning Award and the silver medal of the national architectural design competition. He is a consultant of the Provincial Planning Bureau.”

  Lin Dong was only about 40 years old.

  For someone as young as him, he had to be very capable to gain all those achievements.

  Moreover, an architect was what the Twin Dragon Mount needed the most at the moment.

  He was also an urban planner.

  Before, Ji Ye was only concerned with the buildings inside the settlement, and he had looked past something else, which was that the Twin Dragon Mount was in need of not just an architect, but it also needed someone to draw overall plans for the entire settlement as well.

  “He Yue is a senior engineer of Chidragon Shipbuilding Group.

  “Qiu Sheng, an expert on roads and bridges, enjoys the subsidy from the State Council.

  “Lin Yan, an internationally-renowned fashion designer.

  “Chang Jian, an ex-serviceman, once won the shooting champion of the military region.”

  Su Nongying went on to introduce over a dozen new players; everyone was a leader in a certain industry.

  Not everyone was an Elder-level talent, but they were Masters and Experts at least.

  And they were only a fraction of the elite members.

  The new players coming to the Twin Dragon Mount covered a variety of professions.

  Even with some repetitions, 900 people were enough to cover 200-300 professions. They would be able to find talents in almost all fields.

  Right now, these new players were invited to this conference not just because the settlement needed their professional skills. To some extent, they also more or less had some connection with the management personnel in the conference room.

  “Now, let’s get back to the real point of this meeting.

  “What does everyone think of the ‘A Hundred Vying Barges’ task?”
