"Set up a Game Culture Department, responsible for compiling and spreading the teachings of the God of Games. At the same time, promote the concept of the game and organize various game activities. Priests and book keepers are temporarily under her name … Yes, Minister Isabella, don't look at me like that. She was the one who strongly requested this. If you have any opinions, you can ask her for feedback."
Ignoring the bitter faces of the priests and priests, Rorschach didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he announced this matter. Thinking about it from another perspective, he would probably feel the same if his superior was someone like Isabella.
But this wasn't the only reason why the priests were depressed. If they had been part of a true God's church, as the God's Shepherd and Servant, their status in name should have been only below the Gods and God's Child. In fact, there were even some novice priests who never left the church that looked down on the knights who worked hard outside.
After all, this was the difference between 'insiders' and 'outsiders'. In the eyes of certain clergy, no matter how much contributions mercenaries and knights made, they were still outsiders who worked for money. There was a fundamental difference between them and themselves.
It was a simple change. Perhaps some people thought it was just a change in name, but it represented a huge change in the structure of the church.
Since it was no longer a church but a corporation, even if you were a priest or a knight, you would only be an employee of a certain department. That meaningless sense of superiority would naturally become meaningless.
Even if you were a preacher, an interpreter of the teachings, or a God's Shepherd who held the authority of God, you would still be an ordinary member of the new church company.
In this world, there was no shortage of smart people, but there was also no shortage of dignified fools whose brains were full of paste. Some people looked blank while cursing in their hearts, while others smiled and applauded, but in reality, they didn't realize what it meant at all.
Just a name and a department's design suppressed the priests and raised the status of knights, mercenaries, and employers. This basically confirmed the main theme of the Game Church — relative equality.
Rorschach didn't care about the complicated emotions and expressions of the people below. Today, he was only here to announce the content of the change. Complaints could be raised later. He could accept it humbly and seriously listen. As for whether to change it or not … Haha.
The reason why Roxia was chosen to be the "scapegoat" for this reformation instead of other more experienced descenders was probably because of Roxia's unique identity. Otherwise, no matter who was standing on the platform today, they would likely become a mortal enemy in the hearts of certain people.
Rorschach is fine? Although he would still be hated, it was much better. After all, he had the identity of "Brother God." His official speech in such an occasion would be seen as the will of the God himself. And because of this special identity, before the God was replaced, the Wise Ones wouldn't try to treat him as an enemy as long as he still wanted to stay in the Game Church.
Even though Isabella wasn't serious, just the fact that Loli had handed over the Game Culture Department to her showed that Loli's trust in her had exceeded the limit.
Perhaps after the expansion, the number of people in this department wouldn't be too ridiculous. But now, the Game Culture Department, which was in charge of all priests, clergymen, preachers, and clerical staff, instantly became the number one department in the Game Church.
To be honest, Rorschach himself strongly disagreed with this suggestion. After all, it was Isabella … But perhaps it was because of Isabella that Lori would give such a core responsibility to her.
At this point, even a fool could tell that Rorschach wasn't trying to save people's opinions. Instead, he was directly constructing the structure of the Game Church. This was most likely a consensus among the higher-ups, and they wouldn't and wouldn't accept other people's suggestions.
Of course, there were still some rash people who tried to attract attention and make suggestions. However, Rorschach would just look around and pretend not to see them. The "smart people" beside him would pull him down.
"Establish a technical engineering department. Great Engineer Dipper will be the head of the department. Molly will be the deputy head of the department and a special researcher. She'll be in charge of the procurement, calibration, maintenance, and dispatch of magical equipment with magic armors as the core. Research and development will consume too much resources. For the time being, we'll focus on procurement. "
Large families all had their own research and development departments. After all, technology was the number one productive force and the number one combat force. Purchasing other people's military equipment would be difficult to guarantee logistical maintenance, and the price would be too high. It would also be easy to leak important technical data and combat specialties.
Rorschach and the others also wanted to have their own technical development department, but after looking at the Church's technical and industrial reserves, as well as the expected investment of resources …
"At least for the first few years, we'll just be purchasers."
The great engineer that Rorschach met for the first time made a helpless conclusion in front of everyone.
Looking at the string of zeros on his list of "Required funds to establish a beginner level magic armor design center," everyone had no choice but to nod.
"Establish a Magic Support Department. Head Karadel, Deputy Head Adeline, Head of Magic Armors and Magic Equipment Manufacturing …"
"Establish a Discipline Supervision Department. Master Merlin will be the head of the department and be in charge of internal discipline supervision …"
"Establish a …"
Familiar and unfamiliar names popped up one after another. Only now did Rorschach notice that although the Game Church was still rather weak in all aspects, it had all the necessary resources and talents in all areas.
Finally, there was a department that had the fewest members but was obviously the most core. It was impossible to miss out on this department.
"Reclamation and expansion department, abbreviated as the Reclamation Department. Yep, this is Isabella's suggestion. I don't understand why she's so interested in this name … The members are all descenders. The head of this department will be our Goddess. Yep, as long as she's happy. I'll also be the Deputy Head, His Excellency Lynn will be the Deputy Head, and His Excellency Philip will be the Deputy Head. That's all."
The Reclamation Department would probably forever be the most important department with the fewest members. It could be said that all the other departments were there to serve it. If the Reclamation Department did well, everyone would benefit. If the Reclamation Department's progress was slow, everyone would have to work for free. If the Reclamation Department was completely destroyed, everyone … the Game Church could consider disbanding.
The Game Church's reformation had obviously moved everyone. It was unavoidable that everyone would be anxious for a short period of time. After the whipping, Rorschach prepared a candy combination to calm everyone down. Or, more accurately, a pie combination.
"Cough, everyone knows that we recently won the God Battle Duel. You can say that we've made a name for ourselves. However, our benefits are much more practical. It would be foolish to let go of this golden opportunity for development. That's why we have two main tasks for now."
Now that the system was over, it was naturally time to talk about benefits, wages, and room for development … Cough, I meant to talk about relationships and future development plans. I wanted to draw a pie for everyone … I meant to show everyone a beautiful blueprint for the future.
"The first task is what everyone is currently busy with — expansion and reformation. We've estimated that one year from now, we'll have more than ten times the number of people we have now, and more than a hundred times the income. At that time, everyone here will be the backbone of the Elders. We can't afford to be looked down upon by the reserves."
A newly established company with ten times the number of people and a hundred times the income would be increased. Although the company's small base was one of the reasons for this, it at least proved that the company had excellent development potential.
And to become the backbone of the Elders in such a place … many people were probably already dreaming about it.
That was all I needed to say. Smart people would naturally understand, but idiots … idiots would have someone to tell them. If they didn't even have a friend who could tell them, then there was no need for them to understand.
"The second task is Ansorenne's development plan. There are three pieces of good news. The first is that since we've fulfilled our bet, our magic armor inventory in Ansorenne will receive a major upgrade, and our progress will be greatly improved. The second is that we've signed a mutual protection agreement with the seven new Churches. We'll share information, support, and help each other in their territories. It can be said that we've finally been acknowledged by the veteran Churches. The third is the most important. We've … started building ships! "
The first two pieces of news would normally be enough to boost morale and make everyone happy for a week or two. However, the third piece of news was a major victory that would reunite everyone.
With ships, this meant that the development of new lands would no longer be a small matter. Not only would they be able to organize expeditions and hunt down the Evil Gods' minions, they would also be able to trade with the local residents.
Using the words of the game, this meant that the beginner's single player scenario had finally ended. Now, they were entering the online multiplayer stage. This was the main event.
It could be said that at this stage, the Game Church had truly stepped onto the stage of Ansorenne.
"This is wonderful!"
"Really?"
"Just how many ships are there? How many? What's the signal? "
The audience was already in an uproar. However, Rorschach smiled as he looked at everyone's discussion.
"The specifics are still confidential. However, I can reveal that due to this Battle of the Gods, our ships will be completed two years ahead of schedule!"
Rorschach didn't intend to answer everyone's questions. He closed his speech and walked down the stage.
This pie was tempting enough, but it wouldn't be easy to turn it into reality.
There were still many things that Rorschach didn't say. For example, although the materials had been completed ahead of schedule, the construction of the port area hadn't been confirmed yet. Even if everything was completed in an instant, construction would only begin next spring. Even if the progress was two years ahead of schedule, it was still a five-year plan … Cough, Rorschach wouldn't lie.
Next, this pie would not only boost the morale of the veteran Church members, but it would also quickly spread to every new Church member and strengthen their resolve. This would also increase their sense of belonging and expectations for the future.
The art of drawing a pie was something that every qualified leader needed. As for whether or not this pie could be turned into reality, or when it would be eaten …
