Chapter 247: Blue Maple
Blue Maple City.
It has entered the core area of the real Doom Corner, which is one of the outermost parts of the urban circle in the core area.
Therefore, Blue Maple City is also known as the west gate of Doom Corner, and it is one of the thirty-three cities at the core of Doom Point, and it is said that it is now ranked twenty-ninth.
Although the Doom Corner is synonymous with chaos, it actually has its rules of the game, such as the ranking of this core city, which has real benefits.
Every five years, they are re-ranked, and the rules of the rankings are similar to those of a soccer league, with the 33 cities at the core.
There have also been cases where a city has been destroyed, or its strength has dropped too much, so it has been removed from the list of thirty-three and replaced by a new city.
But most of the time, this does not happen, which means that the list of 33 is relatively stable.
However, within this list, the competition is very fierce, and it is also divided into three classes, named heaven, earth, and man, and each class is exactly eleven cities.
Different classes get different benefits every year, and within the class, it is natural that the higher the ranking city, the more privileges and benefits they get.
For example, the number one city enjoys a very terrifying privilege, that is, it can force the force of the entire Doom Horn to wage war against the outside world, which is the famous "War Mobilization Order".
Historically, this privilege has only been used five times, and each time it has been supported by the vast majority of the cities on the list, and all of them have successfully started wars.
This is an extremely rare moment of unity for the Doom Corner, and it is also the last hole card of the Doom Corner, otherwise if it was really a plate of loose sand, this place would have been swallowed up by other big forces long ago.
It is this kind of checks and balances that has led to a strange situation here that is both chaotic and has all kinds of unspoken rules.
Of course, the symbolic meaning of the "War Mobilization Order" far outweighs the actual benefits, so in addition, the number one city will also have many eye-catching privileges, in short, there are many benefits that people yearn for.
It's a pity that Blue Maple City has never risen to the "Ground Level" city circle for so many years, that is, it has never reached the top twenty-two, and has been mixing in the "Human Level".
Or to put it more ugly, as the west gate of the corner of doom, it is also a very important city, but Blue Maple City has been at the tail of the thirty-three list for a long time, and the so-called "10,000-year crane tail" is also.
This situation is really embarrassing, the family or force that has been in charge of Blue Maple City in history has also wanted to rise to prominence several times, not to mention advancing to the top twenty-two, at least it is good to rank a little higher in the "Human Rank".
It's a pity that every change ended in failure, and even led to a change of power several times, that is, he lost control of Blue Maple City and let others pick up a big bargain in vain.
So later, Lanfeng City is a typical example of broken jars and broken falls, and it belongs to a proper "relegation team".
In the "Doom Cape City Competition" held every five years, Blue Maple City's biggest goal is to keep the position in the big list, as for the ranking, it can only be hehe, basically follow fate.
Fortunately, as the west gate of the corner of doom, Blue Maple City itself has a lot of benefits, so even if you don't have any ambitions and just want to be relegated, you can basically rank in the middle and lower reaches of the "human rank".
There's no way, like the other three cities that are also the gates of the Doom Corner, they are all teams that have stayed in the "Ground Level" for a long time, and even have a history of "smuggling" the successful "Heaven Level", even if it is just a "day trip", it is enough for them to blow the fraud for a lifetime.
As for Blue Maple City, he has never even been to the "Ground Level", so he can only live with these scum of the "Human Level", and he doesn't even have any shame after a long time.
It is such a city, but it is a "good place" that Chen Mu carefully selected and decided to settle down temporarily.
There is no other reason for this, that is, the latest "Doom Point City Tournament" is about to be held, which will be held at the end of this year, and is traditionally held in December, and usually lasts until January of the following year, and has to go through several rounds of elimination.
A skinless and faceless "relegation team" like Blue Maple City basically doesn't pay much attention to the results of the game, so naturally there won't be too many temporary measures, and the rules and atmosphere in the city are not much different from weekdays.
If you go to other cities, there will be more or less all kinds of temporary measures, in short, all for the competition, and even some cities will impose a wave of high taxes and fees, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a robbery.
Chen Mu is a standard outsider, and he just robbed and killed the team of the Radiation Sect and the Mao family, although he didn't catch any valuable goods, but he really offended the Jianglong and the local snake.
Even if he had already made a big circle very cautiously, thinking that he should have gotten rid of the possible pursuers, it would definitely be safer to be careful and choose a city like Blue Maple City as a temporary foothold.
After all, it's okay to offend the Radiation Sect, but it's even more troublesome to offend the Mao family, no matter what people say, it's also a local snake in the Horn of Doom, God knows if there will be any means to be able to track down their existence.
When the time comes, it will really be exposed, and the environment like Lanfeng City will be easier to run, the West Gate, if you run out, it will be a non-core area, and the power of the Mao family will not cover so widely, otherwise it will already dominate the Doom Corner.
In fact, you can also achieve this goal by going to other small cities, but the pattern of small cities is too small, and it is difficult to find some good things.
The reason why Chen Mu came to Lanfeng City with a little risk was that he wanted to exchange for something good, and to put it bluntly, it was for Yuan Neng.
He wanted to see if he could find something similar to the ring he had gotten from Harley, and if he could, then he would be able to extract some Yuan Energy without the help of Buddha bone relics and magic soldiers.
The shortest and most urgent need is to make up for the upgrade points needed to refresh the resurrection coin, only by making up for this, Chen Mu will have the confidence to wave around unscrupulously, otherwise he can only honestly be a man with his tail between his legs, and he is aggrieved when he thinks about it, woo woo.
The current management style of Lanfeng City is a bit of a "rule by inaction" rush, and even the entrance fee is not charged, you must know that the entrance fee is an important channel for collecting money in most cities in the corner of doom, and there is almost no one who does not collect it.
But Lanfeng City just doesn't accept it, not only does it not accept it, but it doesn't even have a city gate guard, it's completely free to come and go.
Of course, this is the outer city, and the inner city is still heavily guarded, but the other cities can accept everything inside and outside.
The outer city of Blue Maple City is very free, but it is not very chaotic, because the current ruler is very witty, and treats the management of the outer city as a commodity, and auctions it in different regions, which is also once every five years, which is equivalent to outsourcing, and can make a lot of money.
