A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 986 - 986 680 Choice

?Chapter 986: Chapter 680: Choice Chapter 986: Chapter 680: Choice For players, territory building has been the most frequently encountered aspect of the game since its inception.

But alas, building a territory is not so easy.

Just like in many sandbox construction games, most players are only able to build coffins, and only a select few big shots manage to build castles and fly planes. The work of territory building is even more tedious. Duanmu Huai remembered that the topic of territory building was a long-lasting hot issue on the forums. Of course, most people liked agricultural worlds and garden worlds, while some preferred to build Hive Cities or forge worlds.

However, liking something is one thing, and being able to build it is another matter entirely.

Luckily, among the players there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with no few graduates in city management among them. They could not only construct perfectly circulatory territories but also create blueprints to sell to other players—this relieved many players.

After all, most are at the sandbox house-building level where they can only build coffins, or at best build vented coffins. Asking them to plan a city? That’s practically asking for their life.

Of course, the Duanmu Huai in the game world doesn’t have to worry about such things, or rather, most Soul Walker players don’t care about this. Their combat power comes entirely from Fragmented Worlds and Soul Cards, so they don’t need to bother with conscripted planets, agricultural planets, or forge planets like other occupations.

Soul Walkers believe in quality over quantity. You might conscript millions of soldiers on your conscripted planet, but I bet their combat power won’t even match one of my squads.

Of course, on the flip side, you wouldn’t care if a million of them died, but if one of mine died, I’d be devastated.

However, Duanmu Huai certainly didn’t have the mood to play something like Cities: Skylines. Stefal also sold city blueprints, and many times when players really couldn’t handle it, they’d go to Stefal to buy a blueprint to build. There were Chinese, Japanese, European styles, and those fantasy styles that players talked about the most.

Well, the reason they’re talked about is because almost all the fantasy city blueprints are carved from the same mold. Basically, it’s just a circular wall on the outside, divided into four districts inside, and then you slap the Royal Palace in the middle and call it a day. In fact, many anime and Isekai games also have the same layout for their royal cities, causing players to comment if the authors all used the same template…

Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, did not use this generic template. After all, he had aesthetics to consider, so he bought a city construction blueprint named Yilusheel from Stefal.

The reason he chose this city was because its style also belonged to the Gothic style like the Tribunal, with Gothic spires, buildings, and cathedrals scattered throughout the city. And, in essence, that’s what the Tribunal was—a similar organization. Duanmu Huai felt that Yilusheel was quite representative.

After all, this territory was the face of the Tribunal; Duanmu Huai wanted to show others the Tribunal’s majesty—not to mention, the Tribunal is not like Tyler or Tom, those kind angels and envoys of justice. The moment it discovered any links to the Evil God, it would instantly turn into the most terrifying Sharp Blade, utterly destroying everything.

So, oppression was far more important than approachability.

As for Duanmu Huai, up to today, his was purely Imperial style—steel, skulls, and cathedrals were his trademarks, and he had no plans to change. Besides, Gothic cathedrals were genuinely beautiful and majestic, quite a pleasure to behold.
