Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 320: Chapter 182: The Tower of Soul Is the Enemy!

”Lord City Lord.”

Sifu greeted Baiyi with respect, his current residence still being the missile silo.

This place is crucial. If someone manages to infiltrate it and decode the launch codes, firing three hundred rounds at Dongwu City, the city might simply be erased.

Of course, this is extremely difficult unless the opponent is an Alchemy Sage.

However, to be safe, Sifu basically lives here unless he’s out on a mission.

”There’s no need for formalities.”

Baiyi sat down in front of the missile control instruments and began to adjust them. Quickly, the perspective of the Bone Dragon appeared on the big screen.

The recently upgraded thrusters were currently the highest power thrusters Baiyi could achieve.

The Bone Dragon’s speed reached Mach 7.

And at Mach 7, the maximum speed was close to 2.4 kilometers per second. At this speed, it hovered over a barren land in a very short time.

Baiyi checked the distance, 2380 kilometers.

Still within missile range. What he needed to do was simple: wait for the moment when the Mysterious Town overlaps with reality due to that boss, and then destroy the town outright.

Challenge modes and the like were irrelevant when you have missiles—it’s an absolute truth. He didn’t believe a second Netherworld could appear here.

Baiyi set the missiles to a state where pressing the launch button would fire them.

Then he looked at the strongest Alchemist there, a Silver Level Mechanician: ”Wait for my command. Until my order is given, do not touch any parameters here.”

The Alchemist quickly nodded: ”No problem, rest assured, Lord City Lord.”

Baiyi stood up, and the Bone Dragon’s perspective on the screen was cut off.

The players still needed some managing. After all, it wouldn’t be good if they were suddenly bombarded by their own side. If it was a real mission, then that would be fine.

Players don’t mind dying once, but they would be furious if backstabbed by their own.

Therefore, he needed to release a task, and incidentally exploit some experience points through a Crafty Merchant— a win-win situation.

After all, as the Dongwu City Lord, his task authorities were much larger than before, although he hadn’t tested their limits yet.

Arriving at the Inner City District’s wall, Baiyi waited quietly for a moment. A sonic boom echoed in the sky.

The rumbling sound approached rapidly and finally stopped above the Inner City District.

He mounted the Bone Dragon, which flapped its wings. With the thrusters engaged, he shot outward at a rapid speed with a roar.

Zero: [Approaching Miss Diane’s release time, about to exit network coverage area.]

Before Baiyi could give any command, Zero said on its own: [Connected to the network via AI clone; network computation speed has significantly decreased but can still maintain basic communication. Maximum range of this function: 4000 kilometers. Please upgrade Zero as soon as possible, Mr. Baiyi.]

Baiyi paused, not responding, as a wasteland appeared ahead. No animals existed in this area, yet the vegetation was abundant.

Because Nether Energy only targets living beings, after all, they are soul bodies—unless plants evolve souls, Nether Energy ignores them.

Upon seeing some players, the Bone Dragon slowly descended.

Baiyi felt a bit sentimental; the players’ mapping abilities were impressive. After all, those motorcycles were very cheap and could be modified, allowing speeds of four to five hundred kilometers per hour within minutes.

Many real-life speed enthusiasts had an exhilarating time in the game.

Additionally, the speed at Bronze Upper Tier was quite good—over two thousand kilometers, plus the players’ stamina could recover by eating.

So only one bun is needed per hundred kilometers, and players don’t mind spending those few Copper Coins.

”Damn! Baiyi? Is he here to raid the dungeon too?”

”Raid what dungeon? Obviously, some online media are talking nonsense. This great God has come to manually close the dungeon.”

Many players were discussing, but even more gathered around, eagerly asking questions. After all, a game without tasks just wouldn’t do.

Sitting on the head of the crouching Giant Dragon, Baiyi smiled and said: ”Marvels, I want to ask for your help.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the players burst into excitement.

”Is there really a task?”

”Mr. Baiyi said it; he’ll take care of everything!”

”Mr. Baiyi, you’re so handsome! How about we have a child? Don’t worry, I won’t tell Diane.”

”Lord City Lord, can I ride the Giant Dragon?”

Ignoring those bizarre remarks, Baiyi smiled and said: ”You Marvels discovered a Mysterious Town. Upon investigation, I found it might come from a very terrifying plane called the Netherworld.”

”The traits of the Netherworld are frightening. Once it enters the city, it might bring disaster to Dongwu City. But you Marvels are undying, so I want to ask you to help me find it and hold it down, giving the missile time to lock on.”

”Rest assured, all Marvels killed by the missile will receive ten Gold Coins as a reward.”

The players were momentarily stunned, then burst into exclamation.

From these exclamations, Baiyi roughly guessed that these dozens of players had all triggered a large-scale task.

At the same time, a task that wasn’t issued by him also activated his long-unused specialty [Crafty Merchant].

[You issued a large-scale task to 23 players; your specialty [Crafty Merchant] activated, deducting 30% of the rewards upon player completion.]

[Current number of participants in the large-scale task: 23.

Current experience value gained: 20700.

Current Gold Coins obtained: 69.]

Baiyi paused, a look of delight in his eyes: ”Seems like you’ve agreed. Rest assured, I’ll be waiting here for you. Also, please share this information with more Marvels.”

The players’ clamor quickly subsided as they greeted Baiyi and eagerly headed toward the Mysterious Town.
