Community No. 2.
The general's secretary's room.
A peaceful day was shattered by a bolt from the blue. The elite one-star edition "City in the Sky" has disappeared from the dungeon list.
After the secretary-general integrated the information, he walked to the general's office: "General, the situation has been initially clarified. Please allow me to report to you."
"Um."
A sound as thick as thunder.
The secretary-general was accustomed to it. She opened the folder in her hand and said clearly: "In conclusion, the disappearance of Sky City has a very small impact on us, almost negligible. The only impact is that we lose important things." Now that Sky City is home to 'lost technology', all related projects can be cancelled."
General No. 2 said: "The technological content of Sky City is very high. It should be a loss if we cannot reproduce it."
"General, this cannot be regarded as a loss. The technology of Sky City has indeed surpassed the existing technology, especially in the field of manufacturing 'mechanical life', it can be said to be the first in the world. If this technology can be reproduced, it can replace labor The manpower required for intensive industries has obvious advantages in the construction of 'wonders'."
"If energy can produce mechanical life, then...building wonders no longer requires manpower, only design."
General No. 2 sighed: "A tireless machine. A machine that never makes mistakes. Since the technological products of Sky City can be used to build wonders, how can you say it has no impact?"
The secretary-general pushed up his glasses: "Because no community has reproduced the technology of Sky City. This is a feat that even the 'King General' failed to accomplish."
"Oh hahaha! That makes sense...no one is affected, and no one is affected."
"There is still an impact. However, the ones affected are the five-digit low-level communities."
The secretary-general turned the page.
"The City in the Sky is the only copy that produces the magic material 'Sky Battle Spirit', which is a necessary material used to make the 'Sky Suit'. The 'Sky Suit' has outstanding performance and is the only three spiritual weapons that give adventurers the ability to fly. Equipment is extremely popular.”
"It is foreseeable. The prices of the Heavenly Battle Soul and Sky Suit will skyrocket, and the other two types of flying equipment are bound to see a certain increase as well;"
"City in the Sky is the only one that produces a copy of the 'Emblem of Reason'. The Emblem of Reason is a very good spellcaster emblem that matches many skill schools. The out-of-print version of the Emblem of Reason will inevitably affect the quality of spellcasters in low-level communities;"
"besides……"
The Secretary-General also listed several common materials that are produced in large quantities in Sky City.
The lack of these materials is innocuous to Community No. 2, and is even a bit laughable.
But for low-level communities——
Huge loss!
Castle in the Sky is an extremely excellent copy, with low difficulty and good output.
If it weren't for its excellent quality, how could Zuo Chang have brushed it thousands of times himself and let Marshal Ying brush it thousands of times?
Its withdrawn version has wide influence and far-reaching significance!
After listening to the report, General No. 2 asked: "How could this city in the sky... disappear for no reason? Has this happened before?"
The secretary-general had a vague understanding: "We checked the literature and found that Sky City is not an isolated case. In the long history of the Ascension World, the disappearance of copies has happened twice. This is the second time."
General No. 2 asked again: "When was the last time?"
"Three thousand and five hundred years ago."
"... Three thousand five hundred years ago, at that time, my great-grandfather was just a young dragon. What's the reason? Do you know the reason?"
The secretary-general shook his head: "It is unknown for the time being. Documents record that 3,500 years ago, the gods quickly launched another copy to fill the vacancy. The output of the new copy is different from the original copy, but the effect is slightly similar."
General No. 2 lost interest and asked instead: "Is there any news about the King?"
"General, no. I think you are too attached to him. The chance of General Tianwang still surviving is less than one percent."
"My extraordinary intuition as the Dragon King tells me that he is still alive; the King of Heaven, as my recognized enemy, will not die so easily... Please step back."
The Secretary-General really wants to say something: Who do you think you are?
The King of Humans died at the hands of the gods. You little dragon queen still wants to touch the porcelain gods, right?
But that's disrespectful.
"yes."
Finally, the Secretary-General bowed and turned to leave.
…
…
Blood Rose froze in place, waiting for the upcoming teleportation.
Half a minute later, nothing had changed.
She frowned and asked curiously: "General, why weren't we teleported away?"
Zuo Chang smiled and said: "The person who was teleported away was an adventurer. What does it have to do with me, the city lord, and you, the city lord's loyal minister? Come with me."
The two of them went outside one after the other.
There was no change in the elevator square. Zuo Chang looked around and didn't know where he was going.
"Mr. Zuo!"
A voice sounded beside him.
The particles gathered, and a translucent old man with white beard was suspended in mid-air, looking at Zuo Chang.
He chuckled and said: "Perhaps, you should be called Lord Zuo! You have completed your mission, and I have fulfilled my promise. The cloud disk has been restarted, and you - are the new master of this city!"
Blood Rose was confused and just watched silently.
Zuo Chang asked: "Am I the city lord now?"
"Yes! Congratulations!"
"...Old sir, the 'city lord' you mentioned is not just a false name, right? Why don't I feel any change?"
The old ghost man smiled: "Please relax."
Inexplicable mana emerged, wrapping Zuo Chang and Blood Rose.
They resisted slightly, but did not act rashly and allowed the mana bubbles to carry them upwards.
After half a minute of this, a small island suspended above the Sky City was already in sight.
To say it is a small island may not be so appropriate.
It was a semicircular platform made purely of riveted steel plates. It was small in area, only about thirty square meters.
The surface of the platform is densely covered with rivets the size of a human head, and thigh-thick wires are exposed, giving it a rather rough industrial beauty.
The ghost old man said: "City Lord Zuo, this is the Sky Throne."
Zuo Changqi asked: "Is this what the throne looks like?"
"Haha! Roughness can also be beautiful. The Sky Throne is the center of the Sky City. I have injected authority into it. If you stand on it, you will know the charm of the throne."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Zuo Chang's legs stood on the platform.
The next moment——
An operation interface suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Chang.
Zuo Chang was slightly startled and found that this interface was particularly familiar: "This is..."
[Housekeeping], [Construction], as well as the main city map and overview.
After playing the game for five years, the UI in front of me is simply engraved in my bones.
This is the game interface!
The main interface of the game "Becoming Zero" suddenly appeared in front of you!
The ghost old man looked at Zuo Chang's surprised face and said triumphantly: "Are you surprised? This is one of the greatest technological achievements of the Sky City, a government operation platform! Zuo City Lord, the Sky Throne under your feet is equipped with a powerful monitoring system The system will integrate all the resources you have and present everything in front of you in every detail!”
"You don't have to worry about a vast array of documents like an ordinary city lord. Everything has become precise and concise."
"And all your operations on the platform will be notified to individuals instantly, greatly increasing communication efficiency!"
"We call this operating system—"
"King System!"
The voice of the ghost old man became louder and louder.
He finally said: "With the blessing of technology, you will have advantages that others do not have! City Lord Zuo, now, let me teach you how to operate the King System!"
Zuo Chang shook his head in confusion: "No need to teach me, I can use it."
