Chapter 240: Chapter 240 the great ceremony
There was actually quite a lot of preparation before the actual upgrade, for example, activating the code of law. After clicking on the code of law, it would ask Zhou Yu to choose a village, and after Zhou Yu chose the village, all the villagers of Luhua village would be presented with the option of ‘Agree or disagree with the upgrade of Luhua village’, and ‘Are you happy if Zhou Yu became the lord of Luhua city’. Only after getting more than half of the votes, the code of law would be activated, and then the Luhua village would become Luhua city.
Zhou Yu always thought that he treated everyone equally in the mini Luhua village, and all the villagers’ friendliness levels were all above four stars, but when he checked the result, only eighty percent of the villagers had voted ‘agree’. From the current population of Luhua village, it meant that at least 20 or 30 people had voted ‘disagree’.
It seemed like being a good lord would be a tough job.
But no matter what, the number of votes had already reached the requirement. Zhou Yu was now formally the Lord of Luhua city.
Zhou Yu didn’t care about the power in the real world, so even if he was now an influential person, it didn’t make him very excited. In the ACG world, however, after becoming a lord and having a big territory in the ACG world, it made him feel as if he was walking on air.
Using his words to explain his feeling right now, it would be, “this feeling is awesome!”
The code of law was divided into two parts, one was the basic law, the other was the lord’s ordinances. The basic law could be chosen between the Star Light legal system or the Fallen legal system, but no matter which legal system was chosen, it did not mean that Luhua city needed to join their factions.
After carefully looking at both legal systems, Zhou Yu chose the Star Light legal system without any hesitation.
In fact, no matter what kind of legal system they were, most of the laws were the same. Even if it was the fallen legal system, they would not be soft on troublemakers. But what really made the two legal systems different were their last laws.
In order to gain the important City Development Points, those cities that practiced Star Light legal system must crack down on criminals, even criminals who committed crimes in other places, and rescue the captive idols and talents. However, the fallen legal system needed to rescue the criminals captured by the cities that practiced the Star Light legal system, and cultivate the extreme fans and support them to illegally kidnap other people’s idols and talents, so as to obtain City Development Points.
Luhua village’s prison had a lot of extreme fans because they could not be purified, they could only be transferred to the cities that practiced the fallen legal system. Although those people normally didn’t have a good ending. For example, some were thrown into the ‘altar of the dead’ and became death music spirits, and they would only be reborn through the death musical performance. Zhou Yu still did not like it.
After all, whether the criminals ended up as skilled NPCs or skill-less NPCs, using prison to reform criminals was a much better method.
Therefore, Zhou Yu still liked the Star Light legal system.
After the basic law was chosen, the rest was the lord’s ordinances. In the lord’s ordinances, Zhou Yu could write any rules he liked. For example, all girls must wear school swimsuits and things like that. Of course, the people will leave if they find these rules intolerable.
There were only three lord’s rules, which could be made at will or eliminated at will. Anyway, Zhou Yu could always change them depending on his mood, which was a privilege of a Lord. At present, Zhou Yu could not figure out what kind of rules he wanted to set, so he temporarily left it empty. But it did not affect him to use the code of law.
After everything was ready, Zhou Yu then could make an altar to worship the code of law, then the city would be established.
However, such a big thing, the old dragon king naturally was not willing to do so quietly. So he wanted to host a grand ceremony. Since it was a grand ceremony, it must be ceremonious. So it was reasonable to invite some idols. It just happened that during the shooting of the variety show, Zhou Yu made friends with a lot of management companies, so he did not think that it would be too difficult to invite them to participate in the ceremony.
Although it may be very troublesome, considering that the old dragon king seldom had such a happy event in his life, Zhou Yu also agreed to hold the ceremony. Anyway, the Moe Coins he had earned needed to be spent eventually, and if he ran out of it, he just needed to earn some more.
Most of the people, who had good relationships with Luhua village, were the people from the Star Light city, and since Zhou Yu had also chosen the Star Light legal system as his legal system, they were naturally, even more, friendlier to Zhou Yu, so there should be no problem to invite them as guests. But to Zhou Yu’s surprise, after the invitation was sent out, there were some unexpected visitors.
The management companies from the fallen city also came to Luhua village to have fun.
The meeting of the two major forces in a small village that was just about to be upgraded was really a little bit awkward. But today, since very early in the morning, there were many black airships and white airships constantly flying towards Luhua village. The portal was also flashing non-stop. It was so busy that almost all the villagers of Luhua village had to put down their jobs to welcome those guests.
Of course, the security forces were still doing their work diligently. Although there were many powerful forces here, and no one dared to come here at this time to cause troubles, it was still a good thing to show the guests Luhua village’s strength. At least, it could deter the forces that coveted Luhua village secretly and reduce unnecessary conflict.
The ceremony was held in the studio.
It was definitely not a good idea to hold it in other places. What if other people saw that the little boss was celebrating something with his imaginary friends again, uncle Fu probably would definitely invite some psychiatrists to see him again.
Inside the studio, the original model of the imperial city had already been transferred to the little Kingdom, which was expected to be auctioned off after some time on display. Although it was a very good model, it was no longer useful to Zhou Yu, so there was no need to keep it in the little Kingdom all the time. As Zhou Yu’s fame grew bigger, the price of those items started to increase quickly. But it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the upcoming underground city project.
A large circular stage was placed in the center of the studio, with an altar at the center. Surrounded by tables of all kinds, and the invited guests from the Star Light city and the uninvited guest from the fallen city.
Zhou Yu was lightly embarrassed because he was really too big. Just sitting there, he was several times taller than the mini people. Even if he was sitting alone, he was still like an emperor looking down on all the people.
And with Zhou Yu’s table as the center point, the left and right sides were the guests from the Star Light city and the Fallen city. They were really not on good terms. Both sides were constantly looking at each other coldly and snorting contemptuously.
But today was a celebration day, so no matter what kind of grievances they had, they had to put it aside. If someone wanted to make trouble, the flying bird knights on the side would show no mercy.
The old dragon king put on his new dragon robes and looked very dashing. He stepped onto the center stage and shouted out some poetic phrases. What those phrases basically meant were, Luhua village was lucky to have a great leader, and he was able to bring prosperity to the village. Now that Luhua village was finally upgraded to a city today, we should celebrate it together.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu did not understand a single word he said. All he knew was that the speech was quite poetic.
However, he understood the last sentence, “the ceremony, now start!”
