MTLNOVEL Chapter 561: The Fourth Gambling Match
"No, elder, you are wrong." Lu Yuan couldn't help but stand up to refute upon hearing the other's statement.
"For the creation of this Field, our Green Grass City did indeed utilize some Entropy Elements. This is because our civilization, during past opportunities, acquired a considerable amount of these elements, which are not scarce for us and have low costs."
"Moreover, you cannot deny the crystallized wisdom of so many of our craftsmen."
His voice, amplified through a Spirit Rune, spread far and wide.
"Seizing the opportunity when various races gather together, we hereby announce a major news: We have named this unique craftsmanship 'Field Industrialization'!"
"Our Green Grass City will freely teach the forging technique of 'Spirit Plant Field'."
"We welcome all craftsmen from the Northern Territory to come to the Trading Market to learn, complement each other's strengths, and progress together."
"Let us jointly explore this brand new path and further reduce the forging costs. Eventually, we might even abandon the 'Entropy Elements' and carve a completely new road!"
Lu Yuan's words brought everyone to silence.
The keywords of free teaching and Field Industrialization flickered in their minds.
The Council President of the Dwarf Clan felt his head buzzing; the human ambition was far greater than they imagined, making his throat hoarse as if clogged by air.
Even the largest Trading Market in the Northern Territory no longer satisfies humans.
It seems they intend to write books!
In the Ancient Era, which civilizations that wrote books were not top-level powerful civilizations?!
For instance, the "Mini Treasure Gears" is widely circulated in the Northern Territory, with most civilizations benefiting from the Gear Civilization, and craftsmen's skills originating from "Mini Treasure Gears."
Apart from this, some Level 5 and Sixth-level Civilizations also left their names.
And Lu Yuan's speech was indeed a great temptation for those willing to believe!
Such as those human civilizations of the Wulan Clan; every one of them turned bright-faced, as this dream was so grand... Instances were even placed before them, the Spirit Plant Field indeed already existed!
Just this thing alone could change the landscape of the Northern Territory.
So long as the Spirit Plant Field can be widespread, in hundreds of years, all civilizations would be several levels stronger!
However, to those unwilling to believe, it seemed like nothing but a mere pipe dream.
Writing books?
Can you match the Gear Civilization?
What's more, you're even inferior to those Level 5 and Sixth-level Civilizations!
Even they were just leaving their names in the documents. What those once powerful civilizations did is known to no one.
Rock Fist·Deep Furnace sneered coldly, "You human civilization controls the cheap Entropy Elements, yet want to gather all craftsmen of the Northern Territory? Really quite the audacity! I say, you humans probably only want to find some free labor force, don't you?"
"Having even a slight foundation, you're indeed unaware of the vastness of the world. The paths not trodden by predecessors, what rights and abilities do you think you have?"
"Are you qualified?!"
His loud shout startled many leaders lost in grand narratives.
Indeed, perhaps this is merely humans trying to freeload labor... Craftsmen could be considered walking Big Golden mines, coming here for training for hundreds of years, the loss is unimaginable — not to mention the Entropy Elements are still controlled by humans, without Entropy Elements, regardless of how well-trained one becomes, they are stuck under human control.
If humans tighten their grip, your cultivated abilities will amount to nothing.
Thinking like this, they suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
This pie falling from the sky seems like a trap!
As snowflakes fluttered wildly, the atmosphere became even more tense.
Various races were very quiet, waiting for Lu Yuan's reply.
Instead, Lu Yuan laughed: "Of course we're qualified! Why wouldn't we be? All roads are paved by human footsteps, all obstacles must be experienced by someone. Otherwise, how can you surpass predecessors by sitting back and enjoying the benefits?"
"Though the Gear Civilization is strong, it hasn't solved the Epoch Disaster."
"In this vast Ninth Epoch, there will surely be a Peak Civilization; why can't we be the strongest civilization? Following the Gear Civilization closely, while saving effort, ask yourselves: can we surpass the Gear Civilization?"
"Without forging our own paths, can we conquer the Epoch Disaster?"
His voice was sonorous, carrying very far.
Rock Fist·Deep Furnace was so infuriated by this overly ambitious junior that his whole body heated up, with his fluttering beard practically reaching Lu Yuan's nose.
He pointed at Lu Yuan, yelling angrily: "You who speak empty words! Most civilizations here are impoverished and backward, haven't even mastered 'Gear Manual' thoroughly!"
"Let them study 'Gear Manual' thoroughly. There, lies hope to avoid the Epoch Disaster."
"This is simple! Our human civilization can completely establish a craftsmen academy, allowing those with weak foundations to prioritize enhancing their base skills."
Lu Yuan spread his hands: "A collective's thinking is always easier than a civilization's independent research. With guidance from teachers, random pondering on one's own is far inferior."
The multitude of civilizations were skeptical.
This notion was truly a bit too idealistic — unless you possess absolute strength and economic capability.
Rock Fist·Deep Furnace snorted: "Following you on a new path, regardless of whether your motives are impure, even if this new path is real, can you truly transcend the 'Gear Manual', enabling civilizations to avoid the Epoch Disaster? With a path untraveled, you insist on marching to your doom!"
