Snowflakes danced in the air, and Qin City seemed to be covered by a layer of snow. Festive red lanterns were hung all over the streets, and every household had couplets and pictures of happy reunion. People walked to and fro on the streets, and their faces were filled with smiles.
Zhao Fu stood on a tall building and looked down at the majestic scene of Qin City. The more he looked, the more he felt. Looking at the warm and happy families, Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel a trace of loneliness.
It was the New Year, and on this day, Qin City stopped all activities. The New Year was one of the last festivals that Qin City would celebrate, and everything carried on China's traditions.
Now that Qin City had unified China, it could only become a thing of the past. However, some survivors had escaped to other continents, and the countries and territories around China were all under the name of Qin City.
It could be said that no one had been able to accomplish this almost impossible feat. Without the Land of Legacy and other worlds, everything would have come to an end.
Now, Qin City's regions had not been cleared out yet. Once the regions were cleared out, Qin City would launch the final war of unification, and the world would be at peace.
"Your Majesty! Hug! "
Little Nine, who was wearing a snow-white jacket, brought Little Rose up to a tall building. She held a rattle drum in one hand as she happily rushed over.
Zhao Fu lightly smiled as he picked her up, and Little Rose, who was behind her, started to play in Zhao Fu's arms. Zhao Fu felt as if he had two little sisters, and this dispelled the trace of loneliness in Zhao Fu's heart.
"Your Majesty! The New Year's banquet is ready, and the Ministers and Generals have already arrived. Please return to the Palace, "Li Si said as he bowed.
Zhao Fu nodded and suddenly asked, "How are Our grandpa and grandma?"
Li Si smiled as he replied, "They're healthy and there's nothing wrong with them. I've been secretly taking care of them. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. "
Zhao Fu lightly nodded as he said, "Then invite them to the Palace to celebrate the New Year together!"
Li Si smiled as he cupped his hands and replied, "Yes! I'll immediately send people to invite them. "
In actuality, Li Si had long since expected Zhao Fu to do this. Even though Zhao Fu had said that he had cut off all ties with his grandmother's family, they were still related by blood. What Zhao Fu hated was his uncle's family, and it had nothing to do with his grandparents. Li Si had been secretly taking care of his grandparents.
During this special festival, Li Si understood that Zhao Fu would feel lonely. He could not fill this loneliness, and no one else could fill this loneliness. He could not fill this of Fu of Qin.
Everyone in the outside world said that His Majesty was cruel, bloodthirsty, and sometimes, His Majesty was indeed like this. He could do anything to those outside of Great Qin, but he would always be soft-hearted towards those within Great Qin.
Following this, Zhao Fu returned to the Palace and celebrated the New Year with the Generals and Ministers. He was incredibly happy and almost got drunk.
Four days later, Zhao Fu calmed himself down and headed to the Fish Scale world. Qin had signed a Contract with the Fish Scale world that they would not start a war for three years. It was now the sixth year, and the Contract would end next year.
Zhao Fu's goal this time was to deal with the Darkwater Continent. Qin now controlled 4,200 City Lords, and 3,200 of them were controlled by brain bugs. There were 1,000 that were not controlled by brain bugs.
The Darkwater Continent had 6,000 regions in total and 19,000 or so City Lords. Qin's 4,000 or so City Lords took up almost a quarter of the total, and he had 2,000 or so territories.
Zhao Fu felt that he could start a war to unify the Darkwater Continent again. Because this was an internal war in the Fish Scale world, it would not cause as much of a commotion as the invasion, and the factions of the other Continents would not interfere too much.
This made it much easier for Zhao Fu to unify the Darkwater Continent. Of course, because of the Contract, Qin's forces could not enter the Fish Scale world, so Qin would not be able to do anything and could only rely on the Darkwater Continent's own forces.
Now, it was time to talk about the situation in the Darkwater Continent. Almost 80% of system City Lords had already joined the system factions that Great Qin secretly controlled.
After all, having the status of a system main city gave them quite an advantage. After all, the world was split into two factions: one was the player faction, and the other was the system faction.
By now, it was the players who had the advantage and conquered system main cities. If they wanted to be safe and not be destroyed by players, they could only band together. As such, Qin's faction had developed quite quickly in the Darkwater Continent.
Moreover, they did not suffer many losses in battle and could obtain all of the other side's forces, and the City Lords could work for them.
However, there were still 1,000 City Lords that were not controlled, which was quite a big threat. However, there was nothing Zhao Fu could do about it. Without brain bugs, the Heaven Spirit Stele could only be used to trade, and ordinary gold coins had lost their value.
Within the Heaven Spirit Stele, gold coins were just fees and could not be used to buy anything else.
Zhao Fu did not want to pretend to be a higher-being in the Heaven Spirit Stele, because without that kind of cultivation, it would be quite easy for him to be exposed. Moreover, Zhao Fu had never thought that he would attract the attention of a higher-being.
Zhao Fu had already added that higher-being as a friend, but he did not dare to disturb him for no reason. As such, he collected all sorts of books for him.
At first, he only collected books for comprehension, such as scriptures and Daoist scriptures. Afterwards, Zhao Fu found that this higher-being loved to read all sorts of books, so Zhao Fu sent him China's Four Great Classical Novels: Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Water Margin.
Zhao Fu had never thought that the higher-being would love to read Journey to the West, and he even asked Zhao Fu who had written it and wanted to meet him.
There was nothing that Zhao Fu could do about this – the person who had written Journey to the West was someone from the Ming Dynasty, so how could Zhao Fu find him?
However, Journey to the West was the most popular of the Four Great Classical Novels, and it was the most popular book in the world. It had its own charm.
Since he could not use his previous methods to obtain brain bugs, Zhao Fu could only use other things to exchange for them. With Qin's current wealth, this was not a big problem.
Following this, Zhao Fu spent a great deal of effort to obtain 1,000 brain bugs and control the remaining 1,000 City Lords. Now, this faction completely belonged to Qin.
4200 City Lords and 400 million soldiers – just thinking about this could make anyone feel excited.
With this kind of strength, unifying the Darkwater Continent would not be very difficult. Even though it was only a quarter of the Darkwater Continent's strength, Zhao Fu's faction was a group, while the other factions were still scattered. In fact, some factions did not even put in any effort and wanted to wait for the other factions to act.
However, after thinking about it, Zhao Fu decided to slow down on unifying the Darkwater Continent just in case, as he was worried that the other Continents would interfere.
This was mainly for safety reasons. Even if Qin's faction could unify the Darkwater Continent, whether or not it would be able to defend and prevent others from attacking was another matter.
