Chapter 72

【Year 6, September: Having unified Babylon, you begin to reform. You begin to encourage the public to be self-sufficient. Under your measures, the people's consciousness gradually awakens, and people's reliance on gods becomes weaker and weaker. Finally, your actions attract the attention of the gods, so the gods decide to warn you. The King of Gods, Anu, and the Goddess of Creation, Aruru, reveal divine miracles, and they create the divine weapon named Enkidu.】

"Tch, these boring gods."

Gilgamesh looks at the simulation in front of him with disdain. Although he is a son of a god, he has never had any good feelings for the gods.

Look carefully at the Epic of Gilgamesh—have these gods done any good things in Gilgamesh's life? The only one who did a good thing was Gilgamesh's mother.

【Year 6, October 3rd: Enkidu comes to your city. She invites you to a duel, and you accept directly.

Year 6, October 10th: You and Enkidu fight for seven days and seven nights. The high walls of Uruk are collapsed by you, and the ground is cracked by you.

However, you are still evenly matched. Exhausted, you look at each other. At this moment, the arrival of a figure stops your battle. This figure is none other than Lin Ye, whom you haven't seen for a long time.

"Long time no see, Gilgamesh. How come you've become so weak after a few years?"

You look at Lin Ye, who is teasing you in front of you, and can't wait to get up and fight him again. However, Lin Ye just smiles at you, turns around, takes out the red spear, and walks toward Enkidu. Enkidu looks at Lin Ye's actions and silently closes her eyes, preparing to welcome death.

Watching this scene, you choose:】

【Option 1: This person is a threat to me; it's just right for Lin Ye to kill him.

Option 2: No, this is my opponent; I can't let Lin Ye kill him.】

"Choose two!"

Gilgamesh doesn't think much at all. Given his personality, his opponent not dying by his own hand means he has lost.

【You hurriedly speak up to stop Lin Ye, and seeing you speak up to stop him, Enkidu also looks at you in surprise. Thus, you see Lin Ye stop the spear in his hand. He looks at Enkidu in front of him and says:

"Your life was saved by him, and it was also left by me. Remember, you owe me a favor."

Subsequently, Enkidu nods silently, because he discovers that the two people in front of him are not bad people.

And subsequently, you also see Lin Ye wink at you when he turns his head to look at you.】

"This guy! Still so boring!"

Gilgamesh says this with his sharp tongue, but the raised corners of his mouth show that he is in a good mood. And the reason for this good mood is naturally Lin Ye's return.

【Year 6, October 11th: Having recovered, you look at Lin Ye in front of you. You tell him to be an assistant administrator by your side, but he shakes his head and refuses. He says:

"I don't want to be your subject. Wouldn't that mean he loses the equal status with you and becomes a superior-subordinate relationship?"

"Boring self-esteem." You mock him like this, then run next door to see Enkidu. You also extend an invitation to Enkidu, and likewise, Enkidu refuses your recruitment.

You didn't recruit two subjects, but you gained two friends.

Year 6, November: You receive news that a terrifying divine beast named Humbaba has appeared in the Cedar Forest. Its appearance makes all the people of Uruk fall into chaos. Hearing this, you decide to go on an expedition against Humbaba.

Year 6, December: You go on the expedition against Humbaba without taking many troops, only Enkidu. As for Lin Ye, he is left in Babylon by you. You entrust Lin Ye to help you look after Babylon, and then give Lin Ye the power to handle all affairs.】

"Didn't take me?"

Lin Ye is stunned for a moment. He originally felt that he was going to follow Gilgamesh and Enkidu to farm achievements. Isn't this missing an achievement for nothing?

"The land is dead, but people are alive, right? Since he let me lead Babylon, then I won't be polite."

Then...

【Year 7, January: You announce that in the future, Babylon, except for the king's hereditary succession, all other officials will be assessed and appointed by the king, implementing an appointment system.

Year 7, early February: You reform the city-state system, abolish the various city-state systems of Babylon, and announce that in the future, the city lords of each city-state will be appointed by Uruk.

Year 7, late February: Some city-states are dissatisfied with your reforms. They launch a rebellion on the grounds that you are usurping power, and you suppress them forcefully.

Year 7, March: You vigorously develop agriculture, popularize Uruk education, unify the measurement methods of various city-states, and establish a tax system.

Year 7, April: You create a household registration system, registering every household for easy management.

Year 7, May: Under your leadership, Babylon's development becomes increasingly rapid. At the same time, you find that more and more people are calling for you to be the king of Babylon.】
