Collecting elemental essences was one of Xi Wei's ways of motivating the players to carry bricks. This included dances, decorations that did not take up equipment slots, and some less valuable but more interesting items.
He believed that the players who had been slacking off due to the lack of events would reignite their motivation to carry bricks.
Of course, Xi Wei had not spent all his time in the Divine Kingdom researching how to make the players work their hearts out. Aside from the Aquatic Lord's divinity fragments that he had yet to fully digest, he was also thinking about how to improve the players' abilities in various aspects.
After all, the players had faced either weak gods like himself, or a ragtag army that did not receive any blessings.
But as the players' influence grew, it was only a matter of time before they faced the believers of stronger gods.
The other gods did not have the power of transmigration like Xi Wei did, and could simply bless the players through the passage of faith (conversely, without the passage of faith, the players could not use their power, and had to work hard to create miracles like the other gods). They had to first pass through the barrier of the world before they could bless, and the more powerful the blessing, the more divine power it would take to pass through the barrier. This meant that they could not bless their believers as they pleased.
This directly led to the other gods taking the elite route to nurture their believers. Aside from the Holy Sons, Saintesses, and Chosen Ones, the only ones who could receive powerful blessings were the higher-ups of their churches, or the Fanatics or even the Holy Believers. The other believers could only receive divine blessings if they were allowed to cast their 'divine arts'.
Xi Wei, on the other hand, was much simpler. Without such troubles, he could simply walk the path of a community of players. Everyone would eat together, fight monsters together, and grow stronger together. Once the number of believers grew, there would definitely be a few experts among them. It wasn't like they were playing soccer …
But for the current Xi Wei, he had just become a god, and his foundation was still too shallow. Time and the number of believers were his biggest constraints. Even the strongest Saintess-in-training Eleena and Leah the Warrior Princess were no match for the high-level believers of other churches.
So he had to continue looking for ways for the players to become stronger.
Raising the player's level cap was the simplest and crudest method, but he had already done it twice, and the players were still far from the level cap of 60. There was no point in raising it any further, so he might as well use the divine power for other things.
"If we digest the rest of the Aquatic Lord's divinity, we'll probably be able to upgrade the players' systems and add a new function …"
If that's the case, should I create a specialty?
After all, that kind of thing should be able to increase the strength of the Players visibly.
But after weighing the pros and cons, Xi Wei decided to give up on the Specialization System.
First of all, this thing was equivalent to making an additional skill tree, and it consumed too much divine power. Xi Wei was a little unsure if he could bear it, and it would be troublesome if he sucked himself dry and still couldn't make a complete system of specializations.
Secondly, the Class System of the Players was still very lame. There was only one Class Advancement for each Class. Even if there were Specializations, the Players would probably end up being more biased towards one of the Specializations, and the Veteran Players would affect the Believers who joined in the future. Who knew, the Class System and Attribute Points of all the Players might become abnormal. When that time came, he would have to spend Divine Power to make Potions. It was not worth it …
Sure enough, it was better to wait until he perfected his class before setting up the Specialization System.
"Should I make a Life Class then?" Xi Wei thought to himself.
The Life Class that Xi Wei envisioned would not only be able to produce, but would also be able to obtain a certain amount of attribute buffs to strengthen the Players' Combat Classes.
For example, a Blacksmith Life Class player would be able to obtain a corresponding increase in strength; a Farmer Life Class player would be able to use a long weapon to deal damage; a Reporter Life Class player would be able to run very fast and so on …
It would also allow Butcher Life Class players to use their Life Class skills to slaughter livestock so that their corpses wouldn't be sacrificed to the Divine Kingdom (so they wouldn't be able to obtain EXP). This would effectively solve the problem of Xi Wei's Divine Kingdom becoming more and more crowded, and it would also allow the Players to not always have to travel to Lancaster to import meat.
In order to save divine power, on top of the previous foundations, Life Class skills could not be leveled up through Skill Points, and could only be leveled up through Proficiency …
This way, not only would it enrich the Players' lives outside of carrying bricks (making them more diligent), it would also increase the Players' strength. Wouldn't that be perfect?
Moreover, the Players who didn't like to fight would also have a place to show their value and enthusiasm. Wouldn't that be great?
Come to think of it that way, it was definitely more worthwhile to make a Life Class.
"Then here's the problem … with my current divine power, can I complete it before I turn into a dried ball?" Xi Wei scratched the ball with his tentacle hesitantly.
According to the unit of measurement he set in the first chapter, his divine energy had just broken through the 50 point threshold … Originally, he had around 100, but after unlocking two new Classes and building the Follower System, there wasn't much left.
Some might say, wasn't Xi Wei already able to create a System before his divinity stabilized? He was still a child then … Oh, wait, he only had 10 divine energy!
The reason was simple: the original System was very crude. Everything about Classes was randomly set by Xi Wei, and the current skill tree was secretly updated by Xi Wei. Moreover, there were only five people who had obtained a System at the time, and now there were over a hundred Systems waiting for him to level up …
Moreover, Xi Wei was really at the end of his rope at the time and felt that there was no use sitting around doing nothing. That was why he held the mindset of 'God's death is eternal', and decided to fight even if he had to exhaust his divine power. Even if he didn't have a lot of assets now, he still had so many believers depending on him to make a living, and naturally couldn't just blindly mess around like before.
"I'm probably the only god in this world who lives so responsibly …" Xi Wei muttered quietly.
Xi Wei mumbled to himself. He decided to take it slow and accumulate more divine energy before building a Life Profession.
Just as he was about to follow his daily plan of digesting the divinity in his stomach and peek at the Players' lives, he suddenly paused.
