Next, Mu You asked Lin Xue some details about the skin, such as the death knell.

According to Lin Xue, the death knell is not a real physical prop, but appears together when the God of Death must be summoned.

As for the effect of the bell, in addition to suppressing the enemy's actions, there are also different levels of punishment such as blocking the flow of magic power and even directly lowering the level. According to the good and evil value, the higher the evil, the more serious the punishment, but there is a prerequisite, that is, it must be a negative value. , it can be activated. If used on someone with a good or evil value above zero, it will have no effect.

The discussion about the God Skin ends here, more information needs to be explored slowly.

Seeing that Mu You and the two were about to go back, Lin Xue also planned to follow them back to the store, but Mu You naturally refused.

"You should rest well these days and don't act recklessly."

Mu You insisted on keeping Lin Xue at home, and then left the manor with Xiaoya. Lin Hai sent a car to take the two back to the pet shop.

In the car, Mu You turned on his phone and followed the forum news.

Sure enough, the top trending search topic on the forum now is 'City of Dawn changes ownership'.

Yesterday, when Mu You and the others left the Tomb of Death, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and the gate time had not yet arrived. However, because something happened to Lin Xue, he still went back to Earth first to settle down Lin Xue before going back to the earth again. Go out and continue leveling.

When he came back midway, he had already taken a look at the forum and found that when they killed Z World Walker, the game seemed to have sent an announcement to all online players at that time.

[It has been detected that the city lord of the City of Dawn, 'Z Realm Walker', has died, and the City of Dawn has not yet been born. The selection process for the city lord of the City of Dawn will be restarted...]

[The city leader selection process failed to start. 】

[The City of Dawn is currently in an 'occupied' state and the city owner cannot be replaced. 】

In just three sentences, the forum exploded in an instant.

"what's the situation?"

"Z Realm Walker is dead? Who killed him?"

"What does it mean to be occupied? Dawn City was attacked and fell by the enemy?"



The players who saw this information were all confused. Why did the Z World Walker, who caused such a fuss before, suddenly die?

More importantly, after his death, Dawn City did not return to the hands of normal players as everyone expected, but was already 'occupied'...

Ordinary players actually don't understand the specific rules of Sky City's operation and can only guess.

At this time, many imposter voices emerged.

"To be honest, I was the one who killed Z Realm Walker, but I killed him too quickly and left no evidence!"

"Damn, is it really true?"

"How you killed me, tell me in detail!"

"Don't listen to the nonsense upstairs. I was the one who killed the z-world traveler, and I'm on my way to collect the reward."

"Nima, I finally killed Z World Walker after a bloody battle, but you all jumped out one by one to grab the fruit? Do you still have any moral integrity?"

"Who killed him?"

"These guys upstairs are too fake. If a master like Captain Ghost and Emperor comes out to claim them, it still has some weight. Who do you think they are?"

"Anyway, I don't believe anyone until I see tangible evidence..."



There was an uproar on the forum, and a large number of posts appeared, all claiming that the person was killed by himself, but in the end no one could provide evidence.

At this time, many people had actually thought of Captain Ghost, especially those related to him, such as Jiuyou and Lion. Because Mu You had just discussed with them on Thursday how to restrain the Z World Walker, this person turned around and It's hard not to think of being stabbed.

Many people immediately sent him private messages to inquire, but at that time Mu You had already gone back to leveling up behind the scenes and had no time to look at this.

Only now, when Mu You logged into the forum, did he see a large number of red dots in the backend mailbox. Jiuyou, Tianzi, Solomon and others, as well as members of the Secret Art Conference such as Lion and Libra, all sent him messages asking about this matter.

Mu You did not deliberately hide this, and frankly admitted that Z World Walker's death was related to him.

Of course, admit it, he had no idea about the bounty jointly set up by the big forces. One was that he also had no evidence. Even if the big forces offered the bounty for his sake, it was just a sign of goodwill. He accepted the bounty. It's gold, but it's a favor.

Secondly, it was impossible for him to collect the reward in person. It was not worth exposing himself for something so flashy and of little practical value.

After hearing the confirmed answer, Jiuyou and other leaders of the big forces breathed a sigh of relief. There were so many imposters in the past half day, which made them very confused. Now that the great god himself admitted it, they finally had some confidence in their hearts. .

"Great God, what about the occupation of Dawn City..." Jiuyou then asked this key question again.

"I don't know this either."

Mu You sighed. In the unborn Sky City, residents could not be added, and therefore deputy city leaders could not be set up. Theoretically, once a z-world traveler dies, even if there are others in the city at the time, they will be automatically excluded, and then the city leader selection process will be restarted. .

But in fact, it failed to develop as usual, so all Mu You could think of was the old man who appeared in the outer realm.

This guy is the instigator behind Z Realm Walker. Z Realm Walker’s understanding of Sky City probably comes from him. So this person probably used some means to get into Sky City’s ‘bug’ and forcibly interrupt the selection. program.

So after that, Mu You revealed some information about Hongxiu Qiluo to everyone, as well as ways to deal with her, so that no one would be attacked by her again.

The 'Iron Bucket Fight', this is a method that he and Lin Xue have personally verified, and can perfectly restrain Hongxiu's chains.

Moreover, after this failure, the opponent's weaknesses have been exposed, and he may not dare to show up again in a short time. Otherwise, once Hongxiu is caught, the position and identity of the person behind him will be exposed. Judging from the caution and care shown by that person, Hongxiu would probably not be allowed to show up again.

In short, this matter is over for the time being.

It was already noon when he returned to the pet shop. After a busy day, Mu You had time to log in to the game.

His game character is still trapped in the Clockwork City, and he has to move the character out first.

A day and a half passed, and Mu You wondered why those goblins should turn off the space shield, right?

As a result, when he logged into the game, the prompt that popped up was unexpected.

[You appear in the wilderness...]

"?"

Mu You was stunned.

Why did his line, which was clearly under Clockwork City, turn into a deserted wilderness as soon as he went online? Can the position be moved after offline?

Mu You was confused and hurriedly controlled the character to move around.

[You are wandering nearby, surrounded by a deserted plain. It is not any place you are familiar with. There is no one as far as you can see...]

[You come to the west side of the plain, and finally find a somewhat familiar acid swamp here. 】

[A large amount of discarded alchemical waste is accumulated here. The familiar smell and the scene of garbage everywhere make you quickly confirm that this is the garbage dump outside Clockwork City that you have scavenged before. In just one day, things and people here have changed...]

I didn't find Clockwork City, but I found the original garbage dump.

In other words, it's not that his online position has changed, but Clockwork City itself has disappeared!

"It means that this clockwork city has legs and can move?"

Mu You quickly guessed a possibility.

This group of goblins wanted to kill him at that time, but he was able to escape after being offline. These goblins searched for him for a whole day but could not find him, so they probably thought he had escaped.

And the ability of his mecha skin is too great a threat to Clockwork City. If they let such an enemy go, the goblins must be uneasy. They feel that the enemy may come back at any time, so they have to escape with Clockwork City.

After coming back to his senses, Mu You was speechless.

When this happened, he was still thinking about how to escape, but it turned out that the other party gave in and even moved away overnight. But this is good, as it saves him the effort to battle wits with the goblins.

[In the dizziness of teleportation, you appear on Dawn City. 】

Returning to Dawn City, Mu You first went to find the old goblin Eugene.

This crazy alchemist had been staying in Dawn City since he had rescued him from the temple in the Undercity.

Mu Youxun thought that this guy was also a master of alchemy. After he made an energy conversion device for himself, he could try to ask him to stay in Sky City and be a public NPC or something.

[You take out the ancient power furnace, the golden gear, and the robot coil*100, the three mission props, and give them to the old goblin Eugene. 】

[Eugene looked at the things you took out and was slightly surprised. As an alchemist, he knew how difficult it was to collect these three things. He really didn't expect you to find them so quickly, so he asked you what happened? your choice……】

Next, he was asked to choose whether to tell the truth truthfully, and Mu You decisively chose no.

After all, the other party is still a member of the goblin tribe. If he told it that he had just gone to Clockwork City and made a big fuss, blew up the clock tower, and scared the goblins into running around the city overnight, it is estimated that the other party would fall out on the spot and directly No more making a stove for him.

[Eugene saw that you didn’t speak, so he didn’t ask any questions. He took the props you brought back and turned around and entered the room. 】

[The 'Ancient Energy Conversion Furnace' is being manufactured and is expected to be completed in 48 hours...]

Ancient energy conversion furnace... Judging from the name, this old goblin seems to be planning to directly integrate the energy conversion device into the ancient power furnace. After the production is completed, his mecha skin will be equipped with this furnace, and there will be no need to add magic crystals. If you put the core of the forest spirit in it, you can continuously obtain energy.

It takes two days and two nights to make it. If you are not in a hurry, Mu You clicks on the 'City Lord' option in the game.

After a day of automatic construction, the main castle has now been successfully upgraded to LV3, the population limit has been increased by 10 million again, and the manufacturing authority of more buildings has been opened.

Muyou increased the population as usual, upgraded four kinds of temples, scarecrows, training grounds, etc.

In addition, three new buildings were constructed on site.

First and foremost: dungeons.

This was the intelligence originally provided by the Emperor. The 'truth' can be found at the bottom of the dungeon.

Dawn City has been hurrying up the construction progress all the way, just for this thing, and now it is finally started.

After Muyou chose to build, he hurriedly checked the instructions.

[Underground City: Located underground in Sky City, it was built by the Ancient Fool. It is a place where tribesmen can train their combat abilities and levels. Only residents of this city can enter. It is divided into seven floors. The lower the floor, the more difficult and dangerous it is. big.

Entering the dungeon requires one point of Fool's reputation. Each person can enter up to three times a day, each time lasting up to one hour. If you are near death or times out in the dungeon, you will be automatically teleported back to the surface. 】

[The underground of Sky City is composed of high-density gemstones. This rock formation is hard and immune to magic, and is rich in energy. If you dig this rock formation, you have a chance to obtain various renewable gemstones. Since gem rock formations will grow over time, if they are not mined regularly, they will continue to squeeze the space of the dungeon until all passages in the dungeon are blocked.

Each level of the dungeon is like a large maze, with nests of various underground creatures distributed within it. (The monster lair has been unsealed with the birth of Sky City, and monsters will continue to be produced. Please be sure to send someone to clean it regularly to prevent the overflow of monsters in the dungeon.)]

To put it simply, the dungeon is a leveling copy for the Fool. Not only can you spawn monsters, but you can also mine gems by the way.

The gems and monsters in this dungeon will grow automatically, and will overflow if left untouched for a long time. Therefore, at the beginning, players need to dig all the way down and farm monsters, clear the path of the maze, find the entrance to the second floor, and then go to the second floor. Cleaning, just keep repeating this, until the seventh floor at the bottom.

Of course, such a huge task cannot be completed by one or a few players. It requires the collective efforts of the residents of the whole city to penetrate the dungeon as quickly as possible.

In addition to the dungeon, the remaining two buildings are the 'Blacksmith Shop' and the 'Pharmaceutical Shop', both of which are ancillary buildings of the dungeon.

Among them, the blacksmith shop can turn various gems dug by players from the dungeon into upgradable standard equipment, while the pharmaceutical shop is a place that automatically manufactures healing and detoxifying drugs to help players deal with the proliferation of poisonous monsters in the dungeon.

After carefully reading the descriptions of these three buildings, Mu You pondered for a moment, and then issued an announcement from the city lord to the residents of Dawn City.

The announcement mainly mentions two things.

The first is to announce the opening of dungeons, and by exploring dungeons, standard suits can be synthesized in the blacksmith shop. For ordinary players, this is currently one of the cheapest ways to obtain equipment.

The second is to recruit exploration teams and strategy teams from all over the city. The top ten teams with daily exploration progress will receive specific city positions, which will be announced to the whole city.

The city-wide announcement is actually equivalent to a list. People have the mentality of pursuing honor and showing off, especially honors that can be seen by others.

Once the list comes out, even if there are no actual rewards, it will definitely stimulate players to rush to compete for the list, thereby indirectly increasing the speed of dungeon raiding.

The news that Dawn City had been upgraded to Level 3 was spread this morning. There were already a large number of people on the forum eagerly waiting for the latest construction information. When the announcement was finally released, it was immediately reprinted and spread wildly on the forum.

The effects of the three new buildings also impressed countless people.

Dungeon! A copy that can spawn monsters!

The appearance of the dungeon is of great significance, because players do not consume mobility when moving on Sky City. This means that after entering the dungeon, players can maintain a balance between physical consumption and life span gained from killing monsters. In terms of experience points and loot, Just pure profit!

At the same time, the equipment that could be crafted in the blacksmith shop was quickly posted.

Sky Suit: A standard suit that can be assembled with up to ten parts of the body. Only the Fool can assemble it. Starting from the second piece, each additional piece collected will activate a special effect of the suit.

And the special effects of these suits all correspond to the name "Sky", such as increased attack power, increased defense power, speed, life recovery, etc. when fighting in high altitudes.

If you can collect ten pieces, the final special effect will be activated: Sky Wings, allowing players to directly gain the ability to spread their wings and fly!

The equipment that can be crafted in the blacksmith shop will gradually expand with the level. Currently, the LV3 blacksmith shop can only produce black iron and some ordinary-level equipment, which is of little use to advanced players.

But it doesn’t matter, this kind of suit can be continuously made upwards. You never have to worry about making low-level equipment now and being eliminated in the future. As long as you keep downloading dungeons and collecting gems, everyone’s sky suit can be upgraded from black iron to the ultimate epic. Level suit!

The announcement is right. This is indeed the most affordable way for the mainstream group of players to obtain equipment.

After reading the information about the new building, the players in Dawn City couldn't wait for it. They immediately posted various team posts on the forum, inviting everyone to explore the dungeon together.

Players in other cities could only watch with envy, waiting for Dawn City players to bring the latest information inside the dungeon.

About ten minutes later, the first batch of 'suicide squads' that were hastily assembled in Dawn City took the lead in entering the underground city and began exploring.

However, before anyone could ask about their experiences in the dungeon, just two minutes later, more than half of them were kicked out in a near-death state.

"Holy shit, it's poisonous, it's so poisonous!" This was the emotion expressed by the first Pathfinder player to die on the forum.

"What kind of poison?" someone asked in confusion.

"The underground city is full of poisonous gas!"

"ah?"

"Yes, the text said it was poisonous gas that forcibly deducted 1% of life every second. Not to mention mining and spawning monsters, people couldn't stand at all and died in less than two minutes!" Other land reclamation team members confirmed his statement.

"So scary?"

The other people in the outer city looked at it blankly. If there is such a powerful poisonous gas, what is the meaning of the existence of this underground city?

Fortunately, as more and more information comes back, the situation in the dungeon finally becomes clearer.

"It's poisonous gas, but it only works for players below level 10. As long as you evolve once, you can ignore the poisonous gas!" said a level 12 player.

Only those who have evolved can ignore poisonous gas. In other words, there is a hard threshold for entering the dungeon. This restriction alone killed 80% of the city's population...

Countless people burst into tears immediately. Is the dungeon prepared for elites?

"Wait, why are you dead too?" Someone suddenly discovered this.

"I...can't beat the monster, I was poisoned to death by the monster..." said the level 12 player just now.

"..."

Everyone wanted to despise him, but they soon discovered that such a situation was not uncommon.

Players above level 10 were immune to poison gas, but most of them couldn't hold on for long. In about a quarter of an hour, more players were kicked out one after another.

"Damn, the monsters on the first level were so tough. I just picked a gem and they were bitten to death!"

"Isn't this too difficult? I can't beat him at all!"



Players who died unanimously complained about the extremely high difficulty of the dungeon.

The other onlookers were also surprised. Generally speaking, isn't the first level a free pass? Why is the first level here so difficult to defeat?
