C5 God Is Dead
Solomon helped Abigail into Adonijah's tent and walked towards Nome. He touched his wrist and counted his pulse.
After the 2,000 pulses, Solomon would go to Adonijah's tent again. If Solomon appeared again, it meant he could stop pretending to treat her.
In order for the girl to see him, Solomon even used his sword to scratch his little finger so that Abigail could see where he was...
"Thank you so much, Your Highness Solomon."
Nome came over and smiled humbly. "You are giving us a way out."
"It's fine, Nome. We are friends."
Solomon shrugged and said casually, "It's nothing. It's no big deal."
"You wouldn't have thought of this without your wisdom. To tell you the truth, when we were in the village, we didn't really... We were welcomed. "
Nome smiled awkwardly. "Besides, I'm just a salted fish seller. How can I be your friend... "
"People don't discriminate between high and low, Nome."
Solomon said casually, then paused for a moment, coughed lightly and added, "Under God, all living things are equal. I am not nobler than you, and you are not lower than me. My father, King David, was once a shepherd, but now he has become a king."
Solomon said gently," We all live in the same starry sky and walk on the same land. We are brothers. Maybe you need my help today, and in the future, I will need your help to live. "
Nome looked at Solomon in shock and secretly looked around. He took a deep breath and lowered his head. "You are... What are you saying? You are the son of the great King David. If you are in trouble one day... It is only right that we save you..."
"Probably."
Solomon did not dwell on this topic. He just smiled and brought up the topic. "Speaking of which, you said you were selling salted fish? Are you a fisherman?"
"No, no, no, you guessed wrong."
Nome immediately perked up when he talked about Salted Fish. "I don't catch fish. I never catch... I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. Actually, I'm seasick."
"Oh? How can you sell salted fish when you're seasick?"
Solomon asked curiously.
Nome shook his head proudly. "I don't catch fish. There are plenty of people catching fish. Their fish can't be sold during the day. It won't be fresh the next day. I'll... go buy fish that they can't sell at night, then pickle them into salted fish and sell them. You don't know, that way the price will be much cheaper."
..." Ah, this is the second time the society will divide the work. "
Solomon took a deep breath and the corner of his mouth rose. "Has the Israel reached this stage?"
"What do you mean by division of labor?"
Nome noticed a certain word that Solomon had mentioned.
"Basically, it is the separation of handiwork and agriculture."
Solomon said casually, "You see, it is like fishermen becoming more and more intelligent. They will catch more fish. If there are more than one family that can't finish eating in a day, they will send food over. And if they couldn't even finish selling all the fish, they would consciously lower the price. Thus, individuals like you can get cheap and abundant raw materials, which is much more efficient than fishing... Right?"
..." Right! You're right!"
Nome's eyes lit up.
Although he could not understand some of Solomon's words, he still understood the general content. He impatiently grabbed Solomon's sleeve and begged in a begging tone, "Please say more... What will happen next?"
"Then, of course, you will become rich, Nome!"
Solomon laughed and said, "With someone like you who can pickle salted fish but is seasick, there will naturally be people who are good at fishing and not processing. It is a good thing to divide the work among the people. He can make our lives less tiring."
" After that... "
Solomon thought about it and said, "It should be the birth of a professional businessman. He did not make his own things and sell them himself. He bought something from others at a low price and then sold it to others at a high price."
"... " But, Your Highness Solomon."
Nome frowned. "If you have something at a low price to buy, why would you buy something at a high price?"
"How many days will it take you to travel from your hometown to Jerusalem?"
Solomon looked into Nome's eyes and suddenly asked, "How much can you earn by spending all this time as a salted fish? Then, if someone bought your salted fish at a slightly cheaper price from your hometown, Would you buy it? "
... "Of course! It would be great if there was such a person! "
Nome's eyes lit up with joy. "Your wisdom is outstanding..."
"This is not my wisdom, Nome. This is the wisdom of a greater person. I am just an ordinary person who knows a little bit about everything. "
Solomon smiled bitterly and shook his head." Then will you become a businessman? "
"... " Yes, I don't think so." Nome smiled awkwardly. "You see, after all, I can be a salted fish... I have craftsmanship. Those who didn't know how to cook salted fish would probably be willing to hear it. After running for three to four days, even a full cart of salted fish wouldn't be able to sell for much. However, I do hope that a businessman will come and buy my salted fish..."
" There will be. "
Solomon sighed without a trace and replied gently, "If I can become the king, I will organize a group of merchants. If that is the case, you can stay at home and make money without going out. "
"You will definitely become the king."
Nome lowered his head devoutly and answered firmly, "You are so humble, wise, and kind... If you cannot become a king, who can become our king?"
Solomon only smiled and shook his head. He did not continue to think about it. His pulse had already jumped two thousand times, and the appointed time was up.
So he stood up from the lakeside and was about to walk towards Adonijah's tent door.
But at this moment, Solomon suddenly heard a strange noise in his ear. A light blue light screen suddenly flashed in front of him.
He vaguely saw a stuck blue bar appear in front of him. The blue bar was almost full, with only less than one-twentieth of the bar remaining. The background of the blue bar was a world map with yellow curly hair.
F * ck, the cheat had finally arrived?!
... Wait, wait.
Wasn't this the loading screen for the game that he had created?
Solomon was stunned.
He remembered clearly that the boss had asked his project team to create a game that mimicked the historical strategy of Sidney Mel's Civilization.
The theme of the game was to let the players play the role of a well-known leader in the past and push forward the civilization of mankind through the fields of culture, religion, politics, and military. Furthermore, When the legend reached 100%, or because of a certain death, they would continue to play the role of the next human leader hundreds of years later, pushing the development of the civilization of mankind from another perspective. The main storyline is to push humanity into the interstellar era within four thousand years, and obtain independence.
There are many ways to complete the main storyline, which is to violently conquer the world and then centralize the rule. It could also subtly influence the future generations through religion or culture; it could be a large-scale jump in the technology tree, or the emergence of a certain critical technology in advance; or it could avoid all wars and enter the galaxy through multiple countries' joint efforts...
The completion rate of this game was already very high. The main body had already passed a green light review on a platform called "Steam" and was about to be put on the platform. Theoretically speaking, when he finished the first DLC in half a month, He would be able to take the bonus and go on vacation.
I'm afraid I brought my own game over as a cheat?
Speaking of which, what kind of operation is it to turn myself into a DLC?
While Solomon was lost in his thoughts, two lines of words appeared on the screen:
[Battle Load completed]
[Click any button to start the game]
Any button is okay.
Solomon was stunned. He tried tapping the light screen. Fortunately, the light screen was activated without any delay.
Then, Solomon heard his own passionate recount - that's right, this game's trial version's narration was also played by Solomon.
[Your specialty in this battle is: Divine Wisdom]

"You are Solomon, the son of David. The future third king of the Israel Kingdom, the second king of the King David Dynasty, the Wisdom King protected by God."
... Hmm, I already know that.
Solomon nodded his head calmly.
But Bai Jun's next sentence caused Solomon's stomach to start hurting.
"However, God is dead."
"God's generation is coming to an end. The most powerful god of each race is getting expelled from this world first. When almost all of the main gods of the various races have left, what you are facing is the siege of the God's protection of the Pinekians, the Egyptians, and the Ascians. However, what you are currently most prioritizing is... The most important thing is to destroy your brother Adonijah's plan to usurp the throne and ascend to the throne in advance. "
[Main mission has been released.]
[Mission mission has been released]

[Reward: Legendary Level 1, Solomon's Ring]
[Mission Mission 1: Become the king of Israel and Lord Yus and rule for at least three years]
[Reward: Personal Characteristics: Young King]
... God is dead?
Solomon's heart tightened. He did not pay attention to the missions and rewards below, but first paid attention to the "Battle Background."
Something wasn't right, right? If God is dead...
The priest who treated Adonijah... who did he get the ability from?
