"Hello, my name is Ji Chang, elite!" The young man held out his hand.

"Gourmet, senior!" Ma Le smiled slightly, reached out and shook Ji Chang.

The strength of the hands is very strong, the fingers have hard calluses, and the combat power should not be weak.

"The council usually starts at 8 a.m. and lasts until 12 noon, and now except for boring guys like me, only newcomers will be curious to come over!"

Ma Le shrugged his shoulders: "I'm really curious, what is this council for?" ”

Ji Chang laughed: "Every newcomer will ask that...... Indeed, in Miracle City, it seems that everything is based on the system, everything is controlled by the system, and the adventurer only needs to obey. But is that really the case? ”

As he spoke, Ji Chang raised a finger: "To give the simplest example, do you know how much it costs to buy a house in the urban warfare system?" ”

Ma Le frowned: "Isn't it five thousand?" ”

Ji Chang shook his head: "You are talking about the price of Miracle City, and I am asking about the city battle system!" ”

Seeing that Ma Le was a little puzzled, Ji Chang simply explained: "Or let me say so, according to the latest information, there are now a total of 8,927 adventurers in Miracle City, of which only 5,102 live in the urban area, and the remaining nearly 4,000 people live in the slums outside the city walls. However, as a super city, even if nearly half of the people stay outside the city, the city of Miracle City will not look depressed. But on the flip side, what if it's a small city with only a few hundred people? 5,000 points is not a small amount for the entry-level or even the ordinary level, if you stay in the slums because you are reluctant to pay this money, then there will be no popularity in the city at all? Originally, there were few adventurers, and the housing prices also restricted the movement of adventurers, which was very detrimental to the development of the city-state. If you were a city lord or mayor, would you consider lowering housing prices? ”

Ma Le understood now: "You mean, in fact, the price of the house in the city is set by the council, that is, the adventurer himself?" ”

Ji Chang nodded: "That's right, as far as I know, the highest house price now is Origin City, which requires 7,000 points, and the cheapest is a city-state that only needs to pay 500 points in exchange for the right to live in the city." In the same way, many of the city's facility costs, entry fees, shop prices, and many other things that we are used to thinking are system-controlled, are actually run behind the council. ”

As he spoke, Ji Chang raised his hand and sketched a simple analysis diagram in the air: "Theoretically, the weaker the city-state, the more it is necessary to reduce the price to help adventurers overcome the initial difficulties and increase the survival chances of newcomers." However, because the credits paid by adventurers to buy houses and use facilities will be used to maintain the operation of the city-state, if adventurers can afford it, the council will not set it too low, otherwise the failure to collect taxes may make many high-level facilities and functions unusable, which will hinder high-level adventurers from improving their strength! How to weigh the pricing is one of the things that our council has to consider! ”

"Of course, the council does much more than that!" Ji Chang smiled slightly: "Others, including the review of the cross-city-state group, the address arrangement of the group's application, the scheduling and allocation of operating expenses, and so on. In fact, many natural things in the eyes of lower-class adventurers are not systematically arranged, but artificially manipulated. As for the system, in fact, most of the power is used to build the mission world and strengthen the adventurers, and they are not very concerned about the operation of the city-state. However, although the huge amount of money to keep the city-state running is used by the council, the adventurers cannot withdraw it, so there is no corruption. We may be the most incorruptible politicians! ”

The two opened the conversation, this Ji Chang is also a warm-hearted person, and he is idle, so he simply chatted with Ma Le about the anecdotes that happened in the previous parliament, including many stories behind the establishment of rules. For example, the location of the mystery shop, although the one in Miracle City is in an alley in the business district, in fact, the entrance to each city-state is different, and it is decided by the council. And the reason for the decision to be here turned out to be that an elite councillor mentioned that when he was in that dead end not long ago, he suddenly received a call from his real family and won the lottery jackpot. He felt that this alley was a place of good luck, and hoped that adventurers who came here to trade would get good luck, so he settled here............

There are many similar things, and Ma Le also got a lot of information about the council from it, chatting and chatting, and other adventurers who came to participate in the council also came to the venue one after another, each finding a seat and taking a seat. When the councillors sit down, they raise their hands and place them on the table in front of them, and then the table lights up with a faint light, some silver, some golden, and the light lasts for a few seconds at most before disappearing.

"What's the color?" Ma Le asked with some confusion. Ji Chang smiled slightly: "That's the representative of the level, after confirming the seat, you need to verify your identity on the table, the elite level lights up with a golden light, the senior level lights up with a silver light, and when the council votes, the title and rank will increase their influence." For example, the count represents one vote, the marquis has two votes, the duke has three votes, and so on. The level is zero votes for the senior level and three votes for the elite level. In other words, now you, the senior earl, only have one vote. ”

"What about the champions?" Ma Le raised his eyes and looked: "There are so many people coming in, I don't seem to see the champion level......"

"Hehe, the champion level will not participate in the council!" Ji Chang explained: "It is a very difficult process to move from elite to champion level, and you need to pass a severe test, so as long as you are at the champion level, you are an outstanding super master. At this level, there is already a transcendent status, and there is no intention for these trivialities. However, as the apex of the system, the champions have veto power over the proposals of the council, so whether the proposals passed by the council can be implemented depends on the mood of those bigwigs! ”

When Ma Le heard this, the shadows of the tyrant and Yunhe appeared in his heart, these two were so powerful, they really didn't have any concept before.

"By the way, I'm an elite-level marquis, and I can top five votes, which is equivalent to five times yours!" Ji Chang said with some trepidation.

While talking, a few people came in from the entrance, Ji Chang saw them, greeted them from afar, and said to Ma Le, "My companions are also here, and they are lost first!" Ma Le nodded, said goodbye to Ji Chang, and began to look for his seat.

The time was getting closer and the number of people was increasing, and by the time the council officially began, there were more than 300 people sitting in the room. Even for the senior rank, the earl is not an easy title to obtain. Of course, not all the members of the council here, there are always those who can't come or are not interested.

To be honest, after listening to Ji Chang's description, Ma Le's interest in this council is also very weak, that is, to set some small rules that are not available, which is useless for the improvement of strength. While you can always get some insider information about the system, in general, it's not a must-attend event every time.

But since we're here, let's listen to the proposal to be discussed this time.

All the adventurers are gathered around a round table, symbolizing that all councillors are equal. However, there is always a presiding officer in the council, and nine elite adventurers walk to the center of the circle and use the microphone to preside.

After listening to Ji Chang's introduction, Ma Le already knew that these nine people were the adventurers with the highest titles under the champion of Miracle City, and the only nine dukes in Miracle City!

"All nine Grand Dukes are here? Is there anything important today? Hearing the other adventurers discuss, Ma Le couldn't help but focus on those nine people, although the title is not equal to strength, but being able to obtain so many merit points is enough to show that these nine people are by no means idle.

Among the nine people, the leader is a twenty-eight (harmonious) nine-year-old beautiful woman, almost 1.7 meters tall, with purple high heels to show her aura. A long blue hair curled slightly, casually draped all the way to the waist; The hair on the forehead is parted on two sides, revealing a full forehead with the seal of the law; A pair of eyebrows were slightly thick and long, but they were neatly trimmed, adding a heroic touch to that beautiful face; And the beautiful moles at the corners of the eyes and bright red lips make this woman's charm even greater.

The Lord of Liuli, the elite level of Miracle City, the captain of the Dust of Illusion team, has exceeded the upper limit of the title of duke, as long as she can successfully advance to the championship, she will immediately have the title of Prince of Miracle City, both experience and strength are the top, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the adventurer closest to the champion in Miracle City.

Ma Le has also heard of this kind of big man, and the eight people standing next to her are also the strongest people who stand under the apex of Miracle City.

"Everyone, be quiet......" Lord Liuli stepped forward and raised his hand to suppress the councilors who were noisy because they saw the Nine Princes come out. Everyone guessed correctly, this time, the nine of us appeared together, and it was indeed for an important matter. Then I'll get straight to the point......"

Lord Liuli paused, looked around at the attentive councilors, and slowly spat out a sentence: "We are going to have a city battle next month!" ”

"City War?!" Ma Le is confused now, this is a strange term, although the system is called the city war system, but Ma Le has always understood that adventurers from different city-states fight each other in the plot world, is there any other meaning to this?

Not only Ma Le, but more than half of the people present showed puzzled expressions, obviously not knowing much about the city war. But in addition to these people, there were still a few adventurers, especially the elite and the majority, who showed shocked expressions. After a brief period of surprise, some of these experienced old fritters smiled, while others showed panic.
