Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Stone Steps
(Some people say that I will be a eunuch in this book, Xiao Qi declares here, absolutely not!) )
"Okay, then let's not discuss these issues, Lao Qin will tell me what you know about this system update." It's too slim to see this kind of thing in the system, so it's better to focus on the present.
Qin Guangfu nodded and continued: "Let's talk about Yuzhou City first, when the system was updated, all the qiē on the earth entered the state of "update", but we didn't, so the old decay used the heart of the town during this time period to directly upgrade the novice village to a system city. ”
"Update status? It seems that it was time to lose consciousness at that time. Zhang Tian thought in his heart, but he didn't interrupt Qin Guangfu's words, but continued to listen to him.
"As for the buildings outside, they are only available after the system is upgraded, each building has different functions, before the task hall was temporarily closed due to the siege, after upgrading the town, it has been changed to the system's ability union, build yì You all go to register to receive the corresponding tasks to increase your strength. As for those who come from other planets like us, they also have many secrets, and it is up to you to discover them for yourselves, but I can remind you that it is best to be friends with them, so that it will be good for you in the future. ”
"What's going on with that mountain in the city?" Zhang Tian asked curiously, since there is this opportunity to solve the puzzle now, of course Zhang Tian will not let go of every question.
"That's the City Lord's Mansion, and only those who are recognized by the system as the real City Lord can enter there." Qin Guangfu glanced at Zhang Tianhou strangely before replying.
Of course, Zhang Tian knew what was going on with Qin Guangfu's eyes looking at him, and the underlying meaning was that he, the city lord of Yuzhou City, was not a regular city lord recognized by the system, although Zhang Tian did not have to worry about his status being replaced, but he still decided to be the city lord recognized by the system.
"Then how can you be the city lord recognized by this system?" Zhang Tian asked.
"Hehe, only the strong who are recognized by the system can compete for the city lord, you only need to go to the foot of the mountain where the city lord's mansion is located, and you can get the answer, but I believe you can do it." Qin Guangfu looked at Zhang Tian with a smile, as if he was very confident in him.
Zhang Tian nodded and continued to ask......
In this way, time flies, Zhang Tian also learned a lot of information about the Proving Ground game from Qin Guangfu's mouth, since it was upgraded to a town, Qin Guangfu and Yu Zhengjun and other NPCs seem to have greater permissions, and they can say some things about the secret of the system, but it is only for Zhang Tian to understand himself, and he can't say it clearly. However, this qiē made Zhang Tian sigh that the trip was worthwhile.
After coming out of the town hall, it was almost noon, and the survivors had begun to integrate into this new "world" one after another.
Song Xinyi, Chen Lang and others also began to gather survivors and handle their own affairs.
Although it is now time to eat, Zhang Tian has no plans to eat, he is going to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see the situation first, although he is confident that he can be the city lord, but it will not be good if he is preempted by others.
At this time, Zhang Tian walked to the City Lord's Mansion alone, enjoying the scenery along the way, many human survivors saw Zhang Tianhou, and greeted him with a look of reverence, Zhang Tian's prestige is so high, since the monster attacked the city, there is no second person in Yuzhou City who can compare to him.
Soon Zhang Tian came to the foot of the peak of the City Lord's Mansion, only to see a white jade stone step several meters wide, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain in the City Lord's Mansion, two NPCs dressed as guards stood at the entrance of the stone steps, with a solemn expression, although they did not seem to have the slightest anger and might, but as long as they looked at them from a distance, there was a faint sense of oppression.
Zhang Tian's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment, and he glanced at the two guarding NPCs a few more times. With a flash of blue light in his eyes, he used the Psionic Vision, but he didn't get any information, and it seemed that the level of these two NPCs had surpassed him too much.
These two NPC guards were imposing, and they weren't just there, there were many people gathered here from all directions, and they were all stopped under the stone steps.
Among these people, some are human survivors like Zhang Tian, and some are NPCs of the system.
Zhang Tian saw it clearly, among the people who were stopped, the NPCs didn't say anything, most of them greeted politely, and some even showed a smile with flattery, and among the human survivors who were stopped, some shouted, and some wanted to go directly to the stone steps, which angered the two NPC guards.
"Look for death!"
One of the guards shouted loudly, and everyone felt dizzy and ringing in their ears, and by the time the people were back to normal, there were already quite a few people lying on the ground, all of them bleeding and breathless, as if they had been shaken to death.
It seems that after the two NPC guards killed these troublemakers in an instant, the other human survivors were all silent, and whoever is still the first bird now is stupid. The NPCs on the side also looked at these human survivors with a kind of look.
As time passed, many people had gathered at the foot of the mountain at this moment, and at this time, one of the NPC guards took out a palm-sized instrument from his bosom after looking at the sky.
The survivors hadn't moved yet, but the NPCs were all excited when they saw the guards take out the one.
When an NPC walked into the guard, the guard shook the instrument in his hand at him, and with a bang, the instrument lit up with a green light, and some numbers and images were displayed on the instrument, the guard glanced at it and nodded, the NPC rubbed his hands, passed the two guards, came to the stone steps, and went straight up the stone steps to the top of the mountain.
"Next!"
With the guard's shout, another NPC stepped forward to be examined and then ascended the stone steps.
As more and more NPCs waited to go up the stone steps, the survivors on the side were anxious, they all passed some different channels to learn that there would be a campaign for the city lord here, although the city lord of Yuzhou City was named Zhang Tian, but he was self-appointed, and this city lord was recognized by the system! There will be many privileges! The authority of the city lord is too great, if he really gets the name of the city lord, even Zhang Tian will not dare to do anything with himself!
Driven by this kind of interest, even though these people are afraid of Zhang Tian in their hearts, they still want to give it a go.
"Next!"
A burly survivor found an excuse and rushed forward to check, but the equipment in the guard's hand glowed red, and the survivor was pushed aside by the guard, who was not allowed to pass it.
"Why don't TM's allow me to go over?!" This survivor may have been a bit short-tempered, or he may have been very confident in his own strength, so although he saw the guards killing chickens and monkeys just now, he was not afraid.
"Fool, the tester flashed red, indicating that your strength is not up to the requirements, and you are not qualified to climb the Heavenly Ladder to compete for the city lord!" An NPC youth dressed as an ancient Chinese swordsman in the crowd said disdainfully.
"Grass Nyima, am I not qualified? Grandpa is one of the top 100 masters in Yuzhou City! ”
The survivor was very conceited and wanted to break through, but gave up on this plan after seeing the guard's cold eyes.
"I'm cǎo, what kind of look is this? Why do I suddenly feel as small as dust in his hands, and I will be killed at any moment? ”
The burly man was shocked, and instantly gave up the idea of breaking through, after all, he is not a fool, in this last world, fools are already dead!
The NPC youth who was scolded by the burly man was not angry, and continued to look at the survivor with a foolish look.
"Hmph, I want Lao Tzu to break through, you watch the play, grandpa, I'm not stupid, but this city lord's mansion grandpa must go, hehe, hey, he can fly! Ha ha! ”
The burly man laughed, and then stretched out his hands and wanted to use his ability to fly, but after half a sound, he still stayed in place and did not move in the slightest.
"I'm cǎo! What's going on? Why can't I use the ability? The burly man was shocked, and once thought that all his abilities were invalid, and without his ability, he would have no capital to survive in this last world, at this moment, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out and wet his back.
"Hahaha, stupid B, the City Lord's Mansion is surrounded by forbidden demon realms, and he still wants to use skills, it's really funny to me! Aha~" The NPC young man laughed heartily at the moment, not giving the burly man face at all.
"Grass mud horse! Look for death! The NPC youth's actions undoubtedly touched the burly man's bottom line, and I saw that he was furious, and rushed towards the NPC youth with a purple knife in his hand, looking at the look of gritting his teeth, eager to split him in half.
However, at the moment when the burly man rushed up, the ancient long sword carried by the NPC youth flew out of the sword box with a whoosh, flew towards the burly man at the speed of thunder, and flew back to the NPC youth's sword box after turning around the burly man's neck.
The burly man couldn't react at all, he only saw a white light flash in front of his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.
"It's really stupid, you dare to do it with my master, Sword Immortal-Mo Wentian, it's just impatient!" Behind the NPC youth, a white-robed old man who looked like a fairy wind dao bone looked at the headless corpse of the burly man and said disdainfully.
Then the old man bowed to the young man in front of him and said, "Master, please!" ”
The young man was very satisfied with the old man's attitude towards him, nodded, and walked on the road stained red by the blood of the burly man, and walked to the stone steps, leaving a series of blood-red footprints behind him.
