When he opened his eyes again, Mu You had returned to the room, but he was still confused.
By the way, it's obviously just the end of a meeting, so why are Taurus acting like they're parting from each other...
In addition, what is there in the sky?
enemy? devil? disaster?
Taurus's words were so vague, it didn't seem like he was deliberately making fun of him, but more like he really couldn't say it.
Something that would be so terrifying that I dare not even mention it...
This reminded Mu You of the silent library, which contained many histories that needed to be kept secret. He had personally entered this library, so he knew that there were indeed many unknown secrets hidden there.
Perhaps, information about 'Higher in the Sky' can also be found there?
However, you can only enter that place on a full moon night every month. The last time you entered was two weeks ago, and you have to wait at least half a month if you want to go again.
Mu You was thinking about things in the library when he was suddenly attracted by the sound of a TV broadcast coming from downstairs.
"Insert the latest news. According to reports from our frontline reporters, the City of Dawn rose ten minutes ago in the Qingyan Desert of the Star World at 6:00 local time. The owner of the city is 'Solomon', a well-known player in the Middle East. Please watch the live announcement. The report back..." The first website address is p://m.biquke.
Mu You hurriedly went downstairs to check.
At this moment, the TV has been accompanied by commentary, and photos and images taken locally have appeared.
It was an endless desert, but the quicksand on the ground showed a unique color of green and yellow in the morning light. The whirlwinds kept rolling up the quicksand, like puffs of blue smoke rising from the plains, swirling in the desert. gallop.
At this time, an extremely huge city, or land, was floating in the sky above the desert. It was suspended above, blocking out the sky and the sun, making the light in the desert much dim.
Unlike Dawn City, which was born in the sea, this second City of Dawn is actually a desert city. The two cities are obviously different in appearance and temperament.
Muyou opened the forum and took a look.
Sure enough, there are already a lot of posts discussing Dawn City on the forum, and the identity of the city lord of Dawn City, Solomon, has long been revealed.
Solomon, whose real name is Motley Grant, is one of the famous tycoons in the Middle East. He is known for his extravagant spending. It is said that this battle for the city master also cost a huge amount of financial resources. Of course, the force Solomon has established is also strong enough. In addition, With some luck, he finally succeeded in winning the city lord.
Mu You went to the international forum again and took a look. As expected, there was a recruitment post issued by the Solomon Force in the international section. It sincerely invited high-level players from all walks of life to settle in Daybreak City. The post promised that all players above level 10 would only need to apply to join. Dawn City is guaranteed to pass 100%.
In addition, if senior players above level 15 choose to join Daybreak City, they are promised to allocate city positions, prioritize housing in the city, and provide various compensations and rewards such as real cash.
Such recruitment posts are undoubtedly very attractive, and Mu You estimates that many players who have already joined Dawn City will be tempted.
As expected, not long after the news of Dawn City's birth appeared, Xiaoya sent him a message through a private message on the forum.
"Sorry boss, so many people just left the city!"
Mu You opened the game and took a look at the city lord interface.
At this time, the number of residents in the city had dropped from 10 million to 9.06 million, and it was still declining.
Looking at the personnel structure again, most of the one million people who left were players at level ten or above. It was obvious that these people were attracted by the benefits of Daybreak City and chose to go next door.
As for ordinary players at level 10, they dare not quit casually, because the other side only promises guaranteed acceptance for players above level 10, and there are too many players below level 10. If you want to join, you must try your luck. If you quit here, next door If you fail to pass, you will cry to death.
Moreover, quitting is not something you can just do if you want to. The option of 'exit' has a cooling-off period of up to ten days. Those who quit now will not be able to regret it again in the next ten days. If a better choice appears in the future, they will I can only watch.
"What should I do, boss? What do we need to do?" Xiaoya asked anxiously. Seeing a large number of masters being poached, she could fully appreciate the sense of urgency sitting in the position of deputy city leader.
"Don't worry, it's just a normal phenomenon..." Mu You smiled nonchalantly.
Those who leave, even if they don’t leave this time, will have to leave sooner or later when other cities open up.
With twelve sky cities, it’s impossible to expect all the experts to be concentrated in Dawn City, right?
It should be said that only one tenth has been lost, which is already very good. After other cities are opened, people will definitely continue to leave. After all, the resources of each city are limited, and if the masters are too concentrated, the result will be high effort. Low-return competition is commonly known as involution.
Therefore, in the end, high-level players will definitely be spread evenly among the twelve cities. There may be differences in number due to development speed and other factors, but overall they will definitely be at the same level, and there will not be too outrageous imbalances. .
Of course, it would not be good to ignore it completely at this time. Mu You immediately issued an announcement to the residents of Dawn City as the city lord, announcing that Dawn City would be upgraded to a first-class city at around 7 o'clock tonight, and the population limit would be doubled. , and began to construct various basic buildings, so stay tuned.
This is also one of the biggest advantages of Dawn City. Because it was born early, there were many experts gathered in the early stage, which led to extremely rapid development. One step is faster, and each step is faster. As long as there are no tricks, Dawn City will always be in a leading position. Advanced players who want to experience new content as early as possible will choose to stay in Auroville as much as possible.
As soon as this announcement was issued, the rate of population loss dropped rapidly, and finally stabilized at around 9 million people.
As for the missing one million people, Mu You easily filled it up again.
This is not important, the important point is the message Taurus gave him just now.
Watching the news broadcast on TV, Mu You thought for a while, searched for 'Solomon' on the forum, and sent a friend request to the other party.
It seems that the city lords of each city should be informed about the fact that Sky City cannot fly too high.
Although he has not had much contact with Taurus, judging from the recent meetings, her words are still quite credible. More importantly, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not.
It was normal for the application to fail to pass after it was sent out. This person had just won the city lordship and was probably still in another world.
Mu You was not in a hurry and went back to deal with his own affairs.
[You appear in the Forest of Elves. 】
[Because of the shadow wolf's following, your lifespan is -3 years. 】
[You have gained 500 forest elf reputation points. 】
[You have gained 500 points of Fool’s Reputation. Current Fool’s Reputation: 5240 points. 】
[You have obtained 'Book of 5000 experience points'*1, life span +50 years...]
As soon as he went online, the game immediately settled yesterday's elder and city lord wages for him.
Fortunately, the experience points are issued in the form of experience books. You can use them whenever you want, and you will not lose the card because your level is at a bottleneck.
However, we still need to prepare the evolution potion quickly and cross the level 15 bottleneck as soon as possible. It is not a problem to be stuck like this all the time.
At present, he already has three bottles of legendary evolution potions, and more than 30 bottles of rare potions have been prepared. In theory, if he is not too lucky, he can synthesize the remaining two bottles today.
[You passed through the teleportation array and came to Emerald City. 】
[The warrior shadow wolf follows you, guarding your safety at all times. 】
[You come to the 'Treasure Ancient Tree' and hand in Harrington's Elder Token to exchange it for 5,000 reputation points. The current forest elf reputation is: 13,900. 】
The 67 elves he rescued before, plus the Elder Token, gave him more than 10,000 reputations at once. Counting the previous accumulation, his reputation is now enough to train six or seven practical talents in the training hall.
But there is no rush in training. Before that, there is something more important that he needs to redeem.
[You exchanged the 'Dream Butterfly Perch' in the ancient treasure tree, and your reputation is -10,000. 】
In the Elf Horn mission, the Forest Elf mission is stuck on the Dream Butterfly Perch. If it is not completed, subsequent missions cannot be triggered. This thing must be exchanged sooner or later. It is best to exchange it out as soon as you have enough reputation now.
[Under the guidance of Shadow Wolf, you found the 'Elder's Courtyard'. This is a spacious and beautiful fairy courtyard, a two-story building plus two front and rear courtyards. The courtyard is full of various flowers and plants, all of which are trimmed just right, making the courtyard look neat and beautiful. 】
[You enter the elder’s courtyard and plant the Dream Butterfly Perch in the open space in the backyard. 】
[You used Crazy Growth on Dream Butterfly Perch. 】
[Under the infusion of energy, the colorful branches grew freely, and soon grew into a three-meter-high colorful tree. The special fragrance fluttered in the wind, immediately attracting many butterflies. 】
[A 'Dark Blue Morpho Butterfly' landed on a perch branch and built a nest on the branches and leaves, preparing to lay eggs. 】
[A pair of 'six-winged crystal butterflies' landed on the branches of the perch, preparing to build a nest and lay eggs...]
…
Planting the Dream Butterfly Perch has immediate results, attracting many butterflies to lay their eggs in an instant.
Only now did Mu You find out that the Dream Butterfly Perch not only attracts Dream Butterflies, but other types of magical butterflies are also within its habitat.
This is an unexpected surprise. After completing the mission with the Dream Butterfly Egg, other butterfly eggs can be hatched and sold as pets. This perch can also continuously generate value in the future.
Just as I was thinking about it, another prompt popped up in the game.
[Shadow Wolf's belly suddenly made a loud protest sound, instantly attracting the attention of many elves around him. 】
[You look back at Shadow Wolf. 】
[Shadow Wolf asks you: "Master, when will dinner be served?"]
[Shadow Wolf's satiety is too low. When she is hungry, her attributes and combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Severe hunger may even threaten her life. Please replenish her food as soon as possible. 】
"..."
Mu You looked at her with a strange expression. Is this bodyguard lady so hardcore? The first thing he said was to do some cooking...
There was no way, the subordinates had to eat if they wanted to, so Mu You had to go to the kitchen to find some snacks and bring them to the game to prepare for her first.
As a result, a prompt pops up in the game.
[Shadow wolves have high requirements for food quality and need to eat food containing magic power to increase their satiety. 】
"It must also contain magic power..."
Mu You was speechless, opened the panel, and clicked 'Meal Creation' in the magic column.
[You used the meal-making technique to create a piece of exquisite magic bread. 】
[Shadow Wolf took the bread and swallowed it in three or two mouthfuls. His hunger was slightly relieved, but his stomach was still protesting. 】
[The food you provide contains too little magic power, and Shadow Wolf’s absorption of non-meat food is poor. You’d better prepare meat rich in magic power for her, which can get twice the result with half the effort. 】
"Ah this..."
Mu You was even more speechless. It’s not scary to be a foodie. What’s scary is that foodies are picky about their food!
There are actually elves who must eat meat...
Mu You even began to wonder if the shadow wolf was half-sold and half-gifted to him because the elves could no longer afford it, right?
After all, the forest elves who admire nature must usually eat cereals as their staple food. They also have meat, but very little. It is really possible that the elves cannot afford to feed such a carnivorous elf with a "slightly large" appetite every day.
After thinking about it, Mu You simply teleported to Dawn City with Shadow Wolf.
Yesterday, Little Spider had a full buffet of fish dinner, but there were still a lot of dead fish and rotten shrimps left in the city.
Players have picked up some, but the city is too big, and there are still some that have not been discovered.
Mu You took Shadow Wolf around several places in the city and quickly found a place with more fish and meat.
[You signal to Shadow Wolf that you can pick up any fish and meat in the city. 】
["Thank you, lord!" Shadow Wolf glanced at you gratefully, then hurriedly picked up her backpack and went to pick up the fish. This will be her food for the next few days...]
Looking at the text prompt, Mu You had a headache.
These fish can only be stored for three or four days. What should we do in the future?
The price of fresh magic meat is not low, which means that the bodyguard's food expenses are the bulk of the expenditure, and the daily consumption for three years will only add to the expenses.
Mu You was thinking about the food expenses when a forum message popped up in the background of his phone: "Solomon has approved your friend application."
[Solomon: Hello, great God! 】
About an hour later, the other party had discovered his application, and it seemed that he had returned to Earth.
[Captain Ghost: Hello, congratulations on taking office as city lord. 】
[Solomon: Haha, we are all happy! 】
[Solomon: Uh, Great God, what’s the matter? 】
Opposite the phone, in a splendid private mansion, a middle-aged man in a bathrobe was looking at the messages on the phone with some anxiety.
He had just returned to Earth and was about to convene a semi-celebration banquet for his heroes, when he happened to find a friend request from Captain Ghost.
Solomon was a little frightened that such a famous big shot wanted to join him, because he had just ordered someone to post a recruitment post not long ago, and he had recruited many masters from Dawn City to come over. He then applied for a friend and came over. Could this be because he was here to find him? Raising troops to accuse?
Fortunately, the other party's next message dispelled his doubts.
[Captain Ghost: That’s right, I have a relatively secret information here that I need to inform all the city lords. 】
[Solomon: Oh? What is it? 】
Solomon breathed a sigh of relief, but also became a little curious. What information should the great god personally inform?
[Captain Ghost: All sky cities, don’t fly too high, otherwise it will cause some serious consequences. 】
[Solomon: Huh? 】
[Captain Ghost: Remember, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Do not disclose it to the public or your subordinates. The best situation is that only our twelve city lords know about it. Otherwise, the more people who know, the easier it is to cause trouble. misfortune. 】
Solomon naturally understood what Mu You meant. Human nature always has a rebellious side. The less you are allowed to do something, the more you want to do something. The fewer people who know this kind of information, the better.
However, this only made him more curious, as if he was suddenly notified of some incredible information...
[Solomon: I understand, I will definitely keep it a secret...but why? Is there something high in the sky? 】
[Captain Ghost: Haha... you know it! 】
[Solomon:? ? ? 】
Solomon looked confused, what do you know? How come you understand?
After waiting for a while, he found that the other party seemed to have no intention of explaining, so Solomon had to ask again cautiously.
[Solomon: Great God, can you... explain it in more detail? 】
[Captain Ghost: Don’t ask any more questions about this matter. No matter how many questions you ask, I can’t answer you. You just need to know that there is this rule. 】
[Solomon:...]
[Solomon: Okay, I probably understand...but, exactly how high is the danger zone? 】
[Captain Ghost: Wait a minute, let me think about it...]
[Solomon:? 】
[Captain Ghost: Well, just five thousand meters! Below five thousand meters, it is safe. 】
After Mu You pondered for a moment, he set the altitude of five thousand meters.
In fact, he estimated that when Taurus said high in the sky, it should at least mean an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, but he couldn't be sure of the specifics. When Dawn City was born yesterday, it reached a height of over 5,000 meters, and there was no problem. To be on the safe side, first determine this height.
