"A new exile has arrived!"

In the eighth city district, Meng Yang, who had just come out of the industrial R&D center, suddenly received a reminder from the summoning elf to him, and he was stunned.

Although this place has always been called a place of exile and a forgotten place by the aborigines, this is basically what he learned from the aborigines, but he didn't expect that there would be exiles arriving here at this time.

"If I hadn't shown up with the players, and these newly arrived exiles had been lucky enough to get here, only to find out that they were dead, then it would really be ......"

Meng Yang remembered that he had first come to this world, and sighed silently in his heart.

The remnants of the exiles in the Eastern Continent in the third city are still in the integration stage, and suddenly a group of exiles from the Eastern Continent have appeared, which makes him feel a little strange.

On the one hand, it is because from his appearance to the present, he has been in the land of oblivion. According to some natives, the Forgotten Lands is actually a fairly vast continent, and it is unknown how big it is, but it must be a vast territory, otherwise it would not be possible to withstand so many monsters.

It's just that a large area of land north of the City of Despair is basically occupied by monsters, and the people in the City of Despair basically want to explore clearly, which is full of countless uncertain dangers.

The location of the City of Despair is now only a small peninsula at the southernmost tip of the Forgotten Lands, such a large piece of land, now Meng Yang has not figured it out at all, and the players he summoned have only run the farthest when Yu Tu followed the bone monitor lizard and insect monsters to the location of a rocky mountain.

He hadn't had time to develop such a large map at all, and new map clues seemed to have appeared.

On the other hand, even if he and the players appear in the current desperate land, the probability of survival may be much higher, but in fact, it is still not really able to withstand the imminent outbreak of the demon tide.

The exiles who were exiled here at this time are really not a good thing.

Either way, the survivors are here.

"The players are already taking care of these people, maybe they can bring me some additional information." Meng Yang sighed softly in his heart.

With the increase in the number of players, there are even some players majoring in archaeology and geology, who have dug up a lot of information and inferences about the world from the architectural style, the local environment and some details.

Among them, near the second magic crystal mine not far from the City of Despair, an ancient site of suspected human ancient buildings buried underground was found, and from this old site, it can be inferred that the human history of the Forgotten Land may be one or two thousand years older than the one or two thousand years that many aborigines have circulated.

In short, the traces of human life on this continent did not begin with the entry of exiles from the Eastern and Western continents.

Meng Yang integrated the information provided by the players, including those who had just arrived in the City of Despair, and he had some guesses about the relationship between the Eastern and Western Continents and the Forgotten Lands.

What he currently knows about this world is that it is divided into three continents, the East Continent, the West Continent, and the Forgotten Lands located in the middle of the northern part of the East and West Continents, this continent pattern is somewhat similar to an online game that Meng Yang once played.

At present, the main places occupied by human activities are the eastern and western continents, and the western continent is now full of countries and disputes. The Eastern Continent was also at the end of the dynasty decades ago, and the princes rose, and now it should have entered the stage of various vassal states attacking each other.

In the Forgotten Lands, the only place where there is currently only human activity is near the City of Despair, but the itinerary of this situation must have occurred in the last few thousand years.

Meng Yang combined the oral descriptions and introductions of some survivors, as well as the excavation of the historical geography of this world by many players, and got a relatively surprising inference.

That is, this forgotten land may be the first place where humans in this world lived, but the eastern and western continents are wild lands.

The Western Continent needs to be reached by boat, and the Eastern Continent also has to cross thousands of miles of vast deserts, and then cross a trench strait between the two continents, so it can be said that it is not so easy to leave.

But in the end, most of the humans on this continent left and went to live in the eastern and western continents, and gradually multiplied. One of the most important reasons for this is that the Forgotten Lands have become unsuitable for human existence due to the outbreak of the Demon Tide.

In the face of the many monsters after the outbreak of the demon tide, there was no way for humans to really be able to completely fight against them, but instead chose to stay away from the eastern and western continents of the past, and gradually gained a firm foothold with their numbers and wisdom.

The City of Despair was supposed to be the last line of defense ever built against monsters before humans left the continent, after which most humans either left or became the maws of monsters.

And one of the reasons why this became a place of exile is also a big reason, that is, although the humans of the Eastern and Western Continents have left this land, they still remember to send criminals and prisoners of war to the city of despair, which can be regarded as a garrison for observation.

Meng Yang still remembered what Gu Sa had said to him before, in the Eastern and Western Continents, there were actually defensive systems that were even grander and taller than the Walls of Despair, and such a defensive system was obviously not aimed at the exiled people in the Forgotten Lands, but against those monsters.

"From the beginning to the present, it has only recently been clarified a little, but the inside story and whether it is completely consistent with the conclusion need to be further verified."

From the beginning of entering this world, Meng Yang was at a loss, and he basically didn't have a deep understanding of the whole world's big form, but with the increase in the number of players and aborigines, a lot of news was dug up little by little, and he probably had an understanding of this world.

"My lord, where are you going next?"

A guard standing beside Meng Yang, after watching Meng Yang come out of the industrial R&D center, looked at the sky in a daze, and couldn't help but walk to the side and ask in a low voice.

Meng Yang came back to his senses slightly, put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and then said, "Let's go to the cultivation room!" ”

The cultivation room is a specially opened up place in the City Lord's Mansion for Meng Yang's cultivation, the place is not large, but this place is located inside the City Lord's Mansion, and it is tightly guarded, so basically there will be no players breaking in.

After Meng Yang entered the cultivation room, the guards who followed him naturally stood guard outside the door.

With the development of the City of Despair step by step, for these aborigines who were selected to serve as personal guards, Meng Yang was like a red sun above their heads, shining on everyone.

This kind of support is almost an instinctive idea of the bottom aborigines, and since Meng Yang appeared, it has brought them food, a safe environment, and even if there are various rules and regulations, everyone is willing to eat.

As a transcendent world, even in a place of war like the City of Despair, the barriers of class are almost insurmountable. For a long time, only a few people have been given a chance to take potions, or follow the transcendent for a long time, and cultivate by hearing and seeing, so that they can get lucky and enter the ruling class.

And what Meng Yang now provides to everyone is at least a personality equality, which is serious in many aborigines, even if it is a "non-dead" person from another world, although they will be abducted and even verbally attacked, but in fact, the equal status given is still far more than the world once was.

And in such a hopeless world, it is already a luxury to be able to survive.

In the quiet cultivation room, Meng Yang walked to a clearing in the middle of the cultivation room and sat down cross-legged.

Now the high-end combat power among the players is close to the level of the transcendent third order, and his personal strength has also risen with the player, and he has entered the transcendent second order as early as some time ago.

Coupled with the connection between the player and him, and the sharing of some of his strength, even if he really faced the transcendent third-order transcendent species now, it was actually not without the power to fight.

It's just that Meng Yang has gradually hidden now, after the establishment of the City Lord's Mansion, the harmony between the players and the aborigines, and the establishment of a new running government organization, he usually basically lives in a shallow way, and is no longer the same as before, often charging forward in everything.

This is to reduce the danger he may encounter, now is the time of the outbreak of the demon tide, some monsters have entered the stage of restlessness, like the dragon that flew over the city of despair before, one carelessly, he may put himself in danger.

The other is that after some order is established, he will determine the general direction, and most players and aborigines don't need to worry too much about it, just like a machine, after it is really started, it will naturally run along the trajectory.

Recently, Meng Yang began to sort out the development of players on the transcendent system, the current industrial system is a deformed and abnormal state relying on magic crystals and magic energy, but the breakthrough in the short term has now appeared magic energy engines, magic energy locomotives, magic crystal cannons and magic crystal machine guns and magic crystal mines, which have basically reached a bottleneck.

This bottleneck does not mean that development cannot continue, but that it is difficult to further exist in the short term, or that there is simply not so much time for development before the magic tide is coming.

Meng Yang can now guess that his industrial system should have received a lot of support from the real world. This can be seen from some players who appeared next to Zhou Tong and Sun Dashou.

Some of these people are old and young, some of them have quite rigorous thinking and research spirit, and some of them are quite strong in hands-on ability. Among them, there are even two middle-aged people in their forties, who are even a little stronger than Sun Dashou in terms of hands-on ability.

No matter how stupid Meng Yang is, he knows that the number of players he summons now is only one or two hundred thousand, but the outstanding talents in this account for a considerable proportion, and this is certainly not accidental.

He was only trying to mobilize as many resources as possible to meet the production capacity of the Ministry of Industry, and to accumulate as many weapons as possible before the Demon Tide broke out.

And what he is now preparing to integrate and study is the extraordinary system created by Li Yuncheng and Qingjiaoyu, and it stands to reason that if there are really experts in another world in this regard, it will definitely be more powerful than ordinary players.

But the difference is that the transcendent system is not something that can be studied thoroughly by someone who is completely ignorant of it.

Even if there are some "professional" talents who are trying to study and understand the transcendent system, the limitations of knowledge structure and their own strength are not as good as some of the players.

Meng Yang sat on the ground of the cultivation room, communicating and summoning elves in his mind, and he could already see that there were two transcendent second-order spell-casting skills that could only be tried in it.

One is "Fireball", one is "Healing", and one is "Ice Archery".

The former comes from the research of Li Yuncheng and Qingjiaoyu, and clearly shows the entire spell casting method and magic operation. Meng Yang recorded by summoning elves, forming a kind of "skill book" that can be perceived, and now some players who have entered the second order of transcendence have begun to try.

Needless to say, this healing technique originated from the extraordinary skill that Lady Sheila initially showed to the player, and some players also spent a lot of time mastering it, and then formed a trajectory of magic to create a skill book for players to understand.

The source of the third water archery technique is the pet water monkey of the previous European emperor player Ari, and there are basically no class restrictions and conflicts between these three spells, the only requirement is whether the player can perceive the corresponding elements.

And on the basis of these three spells, many players are making new innovations, such as the ice archery technique to perceive the water element, and then form ice, which is enough to develop some other spells. The same principle is true for other fireball spells, but innovating and developing new spells is a long-term process, and even if the player can try to self-destruct again and again, regardless of their name, it will take a long time.

What Meng Yang is doing now is to make these spells as popular as possible for players to basically be able to use and have more means of combat.

In the face of monsters that erupt in the surging tide of demons, pure hand-to-hand combat power, players are quite different from these powerful monsters after all, but if they can master the means of using magic power, they will greatly improve their combat effectiveness by casting spells.

"If after stepping into the Transcendent Third Order, the magic power that the body can withstand is greatly increased, and the power of these spells should also be greatly increased at that time."

Meng Yang opened his eyes slightly, and according to the fireball technique casting perception he obtained from Li Yuncheng, a fireball the size of a lead ball slowly appeared on the palm of his hand, this fireball looked small in size, but it was almost a fusion of magic and elements, he had tried it before, and when released, it could instantly melt several centimeters of steel, and the power of the explosion was even more amazing.

This adds spell casting skills to players who can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with monsters, which not only improves the player's strength. And for many new entrants, there's no doubt that the gaming experience has risen to another level.

Well, the efficiency improvement of moving bricks is also one aspect.

After all, now stepping into the Transcendent First Order can only improve the player's physical fitness, but after stepping into the Transcendent Second Order, the magic power gathers in the body and can be cast, which is simply an indescribable surprise for many people.

After all, no matter how good the game is, there is nothing more fun than releasing it by yourself.

"There is only one month left before the Demon Tide erupts, and at the current rate, I should be able to have 1,000 Transcendent 2nd Order and 10,000 Transcendent 1st Order players before the Demon Tide erupts, as well as many Magic Crystal Cannons and Magical Energy Locomotives that can pose a threat to monsters."

Thinking about the strength he had now, Meng Yang had a certain confidence in the outbreak of the Demon Tide in his heart.

Now that the City of Despair has a total of about 18,000 players, he plans to do another massive player summon to bring the total number of players to 50,000 and then stop there for the time being.

He could actually summon more players into this world, but considering the current reserves of the two magic crystal mines, as well as the demand for magic crystals from the Ministry of Industry and other aspects, he temporarily dismissed the plan to summon more players.

The consumption of summoning players for magic crystals is quite huge, if he doesn't develop other aspects, just summon players to enter, and it is not a problem for the number of players supported by the current magic crystal reserves to multiply several times.

But the problem now is that the consumption of magic crystals in the development of various weapons in the Ministry of Industry is also an extremely large quantity, and after the player enters the transcendental, from the first order to the second order, a large amount of magic energy is also needed, Meng Yang calculated for a while, and finally decided that the number of players should be placed at 50,000.

This is a reasonable number that the current two magic crystal veins and other aspects can support, otherwise summoning hundreds of thousands of people to come in will be cannon fodder, once the war starts, these rookie players will die and resurrect again and again, not only failed to play a sufficient role, but caused a large consumption of magic crystals.

"Either way, this is the last summoning before the tide erupts."

Meng Yang sorted out the strength he currently possessed and stood up from the ground in the cultivation room again.

Summoning players, transcendent systems, spellcasting classes, industrial development, magical weapons, everything, will come true in the last month.

As for the other larger continents, everything is too far away for the crisis he is facing.
