Chapter 348: The Vanishing Clockwork City

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

According to Lin Xue, the death knell is not a physical prop that exists in reality, but it will only appear together when the Grim Reaper must be summoned.

As for the effect of the bell, in addition to suppressing the enemy's actions, there are different levels of punishment such as blocking the flow of magic and even directly reducing the level, according to the value of good and evil, the higher the viciousness, the more serious the punishment, but there is a premise, that is, it must be a negative value, before it can be activated, if it is used on people with more than zero value of good and evil, it will have no effect.

That's the end of the discussion about the god skin, and more information needs to be explored.

Seeing that Mu You and the two were ready to go back, Lin Xue also planned to follow back to the store, but was naturally rejected by Mu You.

"You have a good rest these days, don't mess around."

Mu You insisted on persuading Lin Xue to stay at home, and then left the manor with Xiaoya, and Lin Hai sent a car to send the two back to the pet store.

In the car, Mu You turned on his mobile phone and paid attention to the forum news.

Sure enough, the top hot search on the forum is still 'Dawning City Changed Hands'.

When Mu You and the others left the Tomb of Death yesterday, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and the time for the door had not yet arrived, but because Lin Xue had an accident, he still went back to the earth first, settled Lin Xue, and then passed the door again to continue practicing.

And when he came back halfway, he had already glanced at the forums and found that at the moment when they killed the Z Realm Walker, the game seemed to have made an announcement to all the online players at that time.

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

[The city lord selection process failed. 】

[The City of Dawn is currently in an 'occupied' state, and it is impossible to replace the city owner.] 】

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

"What's the situation?"

"Z Realm Walker is dead? Who killed it? ”

"What does it mean to be occupied? Dawning City was attacked and fallen by the enemy? ”

……

The players who saw this information were all confused, why did the Z Realm Walker who had been in a lot of trouble before suddenly die?

What's more, with his death, Dawning City has not returned to the hands of normal players as everyone expected, but has been 'occupied'......

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

And at this time, there are a lot of impostor voices coming out.

"It's not a secret, I killed the Z Realm Walker, but I killed it too quickly at that time, and I didn't leave any evidence!"

"Damn, really?"

"How did you kill it, tell me more!"

"Don't listen to the nonsense upstairs, the Z Realm Walker was obviously killed by me, and he is on his way to receive the reward."

"Nima, Lao Tzu finally fought bloodily for a day to kill the Z Realm Walker, but as a result, you all jumped out one by one to grab the fruit? There's no more festive work! ”

"Who the hell killed it?"

"These few upstairs are too fake, if a master like Captain Ghost Tianzi comes out to claim it, it still has some weight, how old are you?"

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

……

There was a lot of noise on the forum, and a large number of posts popped up, all saying that the person killed himself, but in the end, none of them could come up with evidence.

At this time, there were actually many people who thought of Captain Ghost, especially those who had something to do with him, like Jiuyou and the Lion, because Mu You had just discussed with them on Thursday how to restrain the Z Realm Walker, and when he turned his head, he was stabbed, and it was difficult not to make people think of it.

Many people immediately sent him private messages to ask, but at that time, Mu You had already gone back to practice behind the door, and he didn't have time to look at these.

It wasn't until now, when Mu You logged in to the forum, that he saw a large number of red dots in the backstage mailbox, Jiuyou, Tianzi, Solomon and others, as well as members of the secret arts conference such as Lion Libra, all sent him messages to inquire about it.

Mu You did not deliberately conceal this, and calmly admitted that the death of the Z Realm Walker was related to him.

Of course, admitting is admitting that he has no idea about the bounties jointly set up by those big forces, one is that he also has no evidence, even if those big forces give rewards on his face, they are also in the nature of showing favor, he received the bounty, but the compensation is human favor.

The second is that it is impossible for him to receive the reward in person, and it is not worth exposing himself for such a few bells and whistles and something of little practical value.

After hearing the confirmed answer, the leaders of the big forces such as Jiuyou were all relieved, there were too many people who came up to impostor in the past half a day, which made them very confused, and now the great god admitted it himself, and finally let them have a bottom in their hearts.

"Great God, the matter of the occupation of Dawn City ......" and then Jiuyou asked this key question.

"I don't know about that."

Mu You sighed, the unborn Sky City, it is impossible to add residents, and it is impossible to set up a deputy city lord, theoretically once the Z Realm Walker dies, even if there are other people in the city at the time, they will be automatically excluded, and then the city lord selection process will be restarted.

But in fact, it didn't develop according to common sense, so all Mu You could think of was the old man who appeared in the outer realm.

This guy is the instigator behind the Z Realm Walker, and the Z Realm Walker's understanding of Sky City is likely to come from him, so it is most likely that this person used some means to get stuck in Sky City's 'bug' and forcibly interrupt the selection process.

So after that, Mu You revealed some information about the red-sleeved Qiluo to everyone, as well as how to deal with her, so that no one would be attacked by her again.

'Iron bucket play', this is a method that he and Lin Xue have personally verified, which can perfectly restrain the chains of the red sleeves.

Moreover, after this failure, the weakness of the other party has also been exposed, and it is estimated that he will not dare to reappear in a short period of time, otherwise once Red Sleeves is caught, the position and identity of the person behind it will be exposed. Judging by the caution and caution shown by that person, it is likely that Red Sleeves will not be allowed to show up again.

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

When I returned to the pet shop, it was already noon, and Mu You had been busy all day, so he had time to log in to the game.

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

A day and a half passed, and Mu You thought that those goblins should also turn off the space shield, right?

As a result, when he logged in to the game, the pop-up prompt caught him by surprise.

[Appearing in the wilderness, wilderness......]

“?”

Mu You was stunned.

He is obviously on the line under Clockwork City, why did he become a wilderness as soon as he went online? Can the position be moved after going offline?

Mu You was confused, and hurriedly manipulated the character to turn around.

[You wander nearby, surrounded by a barren plain, not anywhere you know, and there is no one in the sight......]

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

[A large amount of abandoned alchemy garbage is piled up here, and the familiar smell and garbage everywhere make you quickly confirm that this is the Clockwork Outside the Garbage Dump you picked up before.] In just one day, there are already people and people here ......]

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

In other words, it's not that his upline position has changed, it's that Clockwork City has disappeared on its own!

"Does that mean this clockwork city has long legs and can move?"

Mu You quickly guessed a possibility.

This group of goblins wanted to kill him at that time, but he escaped offline, and these goblins looked for him for a day but didn't find him, and they probably thought he had escaped.

And the ability of his mecha skin is too much of a threat to Clockwork City, and letting go of such an enemy, the goblins must be restless, feeling that the enemy may come back at any time, so they have to flee with Clockwork City.

When he came back to his senses, Mu You was a little speechless.

This incident made a fuss, and he was still thinking about how to escape, but the other party was instigated first, and he did not hesitate to move overnight. But it's okay to save him the effort to fight the goblins.

[In the vertiginous sensation of teleportation, you appear on Dawn City.] 】

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

This crazy alchemist had been on Dawn since he had been rescued from the Temple of the Undercity.

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

[You took out the Ancient Power Furnace, Golden Gear, Robot Coil*100, and the three quest items and gave them to the old goblin Eugene.] 】

[Eugene looked at what you took out and was slightly surprised, as an alchemist, he knew very well 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? ...... you choose]

Let him choose whether to tell the truth or not, and Mu You decisively chose no.

After all, the other party is still a member of the goblin clan no matter what he says, if he tells it that he just went to Clockwork City to make a big fuss, and blew up the bell tower, scaring the goblins into running away from the city overnight, it is estimated that the other party will turn his face on the spot and directly stop making a stove for him.

[Eugene didn't open your mouth and didn't ask much, took the props you brought back, and turned around and entered the room. 】

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

Ancient Energy Converter ...... Judging from the name, this old goblin seems to be planning to fuse the energy conversion device directly into the ancient power furnace, and after the manufacturing is completed, his mecha skin is equipped with this furnace, so that he does not need to add magic crystals, and directly puts the spirit core into it, and he can obtain a steady stream of energy.

It takes two days and two nights to manufacture, and if you can't rush it, Mu You clicks on the 'City Lord' option in the game.

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

Mu You added the population as usual, upgraded four temples and scarecrows, training grounds, and more.

In addition, three new buildings were built on the spot.

First up and most important: dungeons.

This is the information provided by the Son of Heaven at the beginning, and at the bottom of the dungeon, the 'truth' can be found.

Dawn City has been rushing to catch up with the construction progress all the way, and it is for this thing that has finally opened.

After Mu You chose to build, he hurriedly checked the instructions.

[Dungeon: Located in the underground of Sky City, built by ancient fools, it is a place dedicated to the clansmen to exercise their combat ability and level, only the residents of the city can enter, it is divided into seven layers, the lower the number of layers, the more difficult it is, the greater the danger.

Entering the dungeon costs one Fool's reputation, and each person can enter it up to three times per day, each lasting up to one hour, and will automatically teleport back to the surface when dying or timed out in the dungeon. 】

[The underground of Sky City is composed of high-density gemstone formations, which are hard and immune to magic, and are rich in energy, and mining this rock formation has a chance to obtain various renewable gems. Since gem rock formations grow over time, if mined regularly, they will continue to squeeze the space of the dungeon until all the passages in the dungeon are blocked.

Each floor of the dungeon resembles a large labyrinth with a variety of underground creatures' nests. (The monster lair has been unsealed with the birth of Sky City, and there will be a steady stream of monsters, so be sure to send someone to clean it regularly to avoid the flooding of monsters in the dungeon.) )】

Dungeons, simply put, are special leveling dungeons for fools, which can not only farm monsters, but also mine gems by the way.

The gems and monsters in this dungeon will grow automatically, and they will flood if no one brushes them for a long time, so at the beginning, players need to mine all the way down and farm monsters, clear the road of the maze, find the entrance to the second floor, and then go to the second floor to clean up, and so on until the bottom seventh layer.

Of course, such a huge job cannot be done by a single player or a few players, and it requires the collective efforts of the residents of the entire city to break through the dungeon as quickly as possible.

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

The blacksmith shop can make upgradable equipment from the various gems mined in the dungeon, and the pharmacy is a place to automatically produce healing and antidotes to help players deal with the poisonous monsters that are flooding the dungeons.

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

The announcement mainly mentions two things.

The first is the announcement of the opening of the dungeon, and the fact that by exploring the dungeon, it is possible to craft standard sets in the blacksmith. For the average player, this is currently one of the most cost-effective ways to get gear.

The second is to recruit exploration teams and strategy groups for the whole city. The top 10 teams in the daily exploration progress will be awarded a specific city position, which will be announced throughout the city.

The city-wide publicity, in fact, is equivalent to the list, everyone has the psychology of pursuing honor and showing off, especially the honor that can be seen by others.

As soon as the list comes out, even if there is no substantial reward, it will definitely stimulate players to scramble to compete for the leaderboard, thereby indirectly improving the speed of the dungeon's strategy.

The news of Dawn City's upgrade to the third level was spread this morning, and a large number of people on the forum were already waiting for the latest building information.

And the effect of the three new buildings is also a dazzle for countless people.

Dungeons! Monster farming dungeons!

The appearance of the dungeon is of great significance, because the player does not consume action power when moving on Sky City, which means that after entering the dungeon, the player can maintain a balance between the physical consumption and the lifespan obtained by killing monsters, so the experience points and loot are pure earning!

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

Sky Set: A standard set that can be equipped with up to 10 parts of the body, only the Fool can be assembled, starting from the second piece, each additional piece is collected to activate a set effect.

And these set effects all deal with the name 'sky', such as attack power increase, defense increase, speed, health regeneration increase and so on in high altitude.

If you can collect all 10 pieces, the final special effect: Sky Wings will be activated, allowing players to directly gain the ability to spread their wings and fly!

The craftable equipment of the blacksmith shop will gradually expand with the level, and at present, the LV3 blacksmith can only make black iron and some normal-level equipment, which is of little use to advanced players.

But it doesn't matter, this kind of set can be made up of non-stop, and you will never have to worry about making low-level equipment now being eliminated in the future, as long as you keep collecting gems from dungeons, everyone's sky suit can be upgraded from black iron all the way to the final epic suit!

The announcement is right, this is indeed the most affordable way to get equipment for the mainstream group of players.

After reading the information about the new building, the players of Dawn City couldn't wait for a long time, and immediately posted various team posts on the forum, inviting each other to enter the dungeon together.

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

About ten minutes later, the first batch of 'death squads' hastily assembled on Dawn City took the lead in stepping into the dungeon and began to explore.

However, before anyone could ask them what had happened to them in the dungeon, just two minutes later, more than half of them were kicked out in a near-death state.

"Damn, poison, poison!" This is the emotion of the first pathfinder player to die in the forum.

"What poison?" Someone asked.

"The dungeon is full of poison gas!"

"Huh?"

"Yes, the text says that the poison gas that forcibly deducts 1% of life per second, not to mention mining and farming, people can't stand at all, and they die in less than two minutes!" Other members of the reclamation team corroborated his account.

"So horrible?"

The other people in the outer city were at a loss, if there was really such a powerful poisonous gas, then what was the meaning of the existence of this dungeon?

Fortunately, as more and more information came back, the situation inside the dungeon finally became clearer.

"It's poisonous gas, but it only takes effect on players below level 10, as long as you evolve once, you can ignore poisonous gas!" So said a level 12 player.

Evolution can ignore poison gas, that is to say, there is a hard threshold to enter the dungeon, and this restriction alone will directly kill 80% of the city's population......

Countless people burst into tears, dare to love the dungeon is for the elite?

"Wait, why did you die?" Someone suddenly noticed this.

"I ...... If you can't beat the monster, you will be poisoned by the monster......" said the level 12 player just now.

“……”

The crowd wanted to despise it, but it soon became clear to them that such cases were not uncommon.

Players above level 10 were immune to poison gas, but most of them didn't last long, and in about a quarter of an hour, more players were kicked out one after another.

"Damn, the monsters on the first layer are so difficult, I just picked a gem and was bitten to death!"

"That's too hard, isn't it? I can't beat it at all! ”

……

The players who died complained about the super difficulty of the dungeon.

The other onlookers were also surprised, generally speaking, isn't the first level given for free? Why is the first layer so hard to beat here?
