"Alright, that was an unexpected victory, and I was lucky to capture him. Now, let us summon residents to increase our numbers and begin our plans for the day," Long Zai Tian said firmly.
He headed toward the circular platform [The Origin] to summon new residents, followed by the other five.
For ordinary primary villages of Iron rank, they can summon 1~4 people per day. For Copper rank, the count is 3~7; for Bronze, 6~10; for Silver, 9~13; for Gold, 12~16; for Black Gold, 15~19; and for Platinum rank, it is 18~22. For Jade rank villages, like the Xia Village, the number is 21~25, and for Diamond Mythical villages, it is 25~30.
This was also the order of ranks in the world of Heaven's Awaken:
Iron/Poor, Copper/Common, Bronze/Uncommon, Silver/Rare, Gold/Unique, Black Gold/Exotic, Platinum/Epic, Jade/Legendary, Diamond/Myth.
Therefore,Long Zai Tian expected 18~22 people. With the addition of Li Si's 25% population attraction bonus, the number increased to 24~28.
"System, I want to summon residents."
[DING]
[ACTIVATING THE ORIGIN...]
[RESIDENTS SUMMONED]
Before him appeared 27 people of various races and ages: 10 capable men, 7 young women in the prime of youth, 5 elderly individuals, and 5 young boys.
They all looked at Long Zai Tian intently, cupped their hands, bowed their heads, and greeted him: "Long live the Emperor, Your Highness!"
"Hmm, raise your heads. I welcome you to Qin Village,"
Long Zai Tian replied.
In ordinary Primary Iron-rank villages, the residents summoned are usually of Iron rank. A Copper rank appears every 3 days, Bronze every 12 days, Silver every 48 days, Gold every 192 days, and Black Gold every 768 days. Platinum rank and above do not appear in Iron-rank villages.
The duration for higher-rank residents to appear decreases by two-third with each village rank increase. In the Great Qin Village, the minimum rank for residents is Bronze, appearing daily. Silver rank appears every 3 days, Gold every 12 days, Black Gold every 48 days, Platinum every 192 days, and Jade every 768 days. A Diamond rank talent cannot be summoned unless the Village Heart advances to Jade rank.
Long Zai Tian gathered them all before him and addressed them: "Citizens of Qin, today begins a new history—our brilliant history. With our strength, determination, and nobility, we shall seize the glories of this world. We shall conquer and land and sea, not just China, but this entire world. Our eyes are set toward the heavens. We do not settle for little, we are never satiated by much, and we accept nothing less than perfection—for us, for our children, and for our Kingdom. Let us illuminate the future with our might. Long live Great Qin! Long live the Qin Dynasty!"
"Long live Great Qin!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live Great Qin!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live Great Qin!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
The thirty-two people echoed, ignited with passion, their eyes never leaving their Emperor, who had captivated them with his words and set their spirits ablaze.
After the cheering died down and silence filled the air, they all looked at their Emperor, awaiting his command. Xuan Long looked at them with a smiling, tranquil face; his true history had begun, and now he must toil and shine.
"Bai Qi, Li Si, step forward," Long Zai Tian said.
"We are here, my Lord."
"Your command, my Lord."
They responded, cupping their hands before him.
"Now, we must secure food. There is no need to fear for water, as we are rich with the river nearby. We must build houses and plan for the future. We will sit for a long time to discuss the affairs of the village."
Li Si said, "At your command, my Lord. I am eager to sit with you, filled with hope that under your skilled leadership, Great Qin will be first."
Bai Qi nodded, "Hmm."
"Very well, follow me. We must recruit the men first. Bai Qi, bring the ten men to the Job Change Platform. These shall be our first soldiers, Li Si come you also"
"My Lord, I am at your service."
"My lord, may I inform from your majesty what you need from me in the [Changing Profession] platform? Asked Li Si
"To got learn the Mantra, Li Si, In this world, only power speak Li Si, you need to have strength to put a front in yourself, You cannot but expect dangerous situations in this world, I know it's hard for you, believe me I feel You, I saw all the country history and also saw you in this rich history, but believe in yourself and train my friend"
"as your high majesty says, wise words indeed, I should gain strength and change the old ways, thank you your majesty for caring about me" Li Si thanked and cupped his hand
"hmm, good"
Bai Qi went to bring the ten men, and exactly two minutes later, they were lined up before the [Job Change Platform]. It was a circular platform with ten stone monuments, each representing a specific profession.
The monument Long Zai Tian sought was [Job Change - Great Qin Soldier]: Rank {S}; the soldiers who defeated the Six States and unified China for the first time in history. Effect: Every soldier who changes their job will receive the [Great Qin Mantra {Platinum - Epic}] cultivation technique.
Indeed, the value of a Epic Platinum Village was clear. A soldier rank of {S}—within the ranking system of professions of (F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS)—signified the nation's strength and heritage.
The attributes they would gain would be far more powerful in the future. Moreover, the Platinum-Epic rank Mantra was perfect for Xuan Long's ambitions; it included Spiritual Qi cultivation, martial arts, and techniques for swords, spears, axes, sheilds, bows, halberds and more.
Ranks also provided massive benefits to cultivation speed. Copper is 2x faster than Iron, Bronze 4x, Silver 8x, Gold 16x, Black Gold 32x, Platinum 64x, Jade 128x, and Diamond 256x. Since Bai Qi himself is Jade rank, he would cultivate 128x faster than a normal person without special high ranking technique, and when added to the speed of the technique itself, his growth would be exponentially beyond ordinary humans.
also the Bloodline ranks afected the cultivation speed in the same way, the bloodine ranks from the lowest to the highest are: Common Bloodline 1-3, Refined Bloodline 4-6, Elite Blood Line 7-9, Noble Master Bloodline 10-12, Royal Sovereign 13-15, Imperial Monarch 16-18, Holy Heaven 19-21, Origin Being 22-24, these were the Bloodline ranks, Bai qi bloodline rank is {10} a Noble Master, while Li Si's rank is {9} an Elite, so the bloodlineline affects for bai qi is 12* Higher than the Common Bloodline, a bit average, but he got compensated in other areas like his high Platinum rank wich put him in the genius level, While Li S on the other hand cultivate 8* time higher and his Black Gold rank put him in the Above Average level in cultivation.
After they changed their jobs and the Mantra was etched into their minds, their auras shifted, feeling the depth and mystery of the Great Qin Soldier rank. Long Zai nodded to Bai Qi: "Bai Qi, as the Supreme Marshal, you have your own path, but it will not hurt to learn the [Great Qin Mantra] to set an example. Now, speak with the soldiers and embolden them. I wish to speak with Li Si."
"By your leave, Your Majesty."
He cupped his hands, bowed his head, and stepped back to inspect the new recruits. Li Si approached with a bright smile: "Distinguished Lord, I am under your guidance. What are your orders?"
"Go and inspect the remaining residents. Analyze their personalities and place each in their proper role to ensure a smooth integration. I will inspect the village status myself."
"At your command, my Lord." He cupped his hands and withdrew toward the residents.
Long Zai Tian entered the [Village Hall], where the Village Heart was, and said in a low voice, "System, show me the Village Statistics."
