Chapter 360: Chapter 199: Legendary Weapon: Execution Ability

Demacia was lost in thought. If the game’s monsters ran away whenever they saw players, what would the players use to grow?

He had died once more at the hands of the Black Dragon, and was now only Level 23.

[Streamer, check the forums. There are more cases like this near Dongwu City.]

[Streamer, you said Xiahou Si Hao went to make a movie, what about its military horn? Can it be bought? It seems pretty important.]

[Streamer, streamer, I want to see Xiaomo!]

The barrage of messages brought Demacia back to his senses.

He summoned Er Shu and flew back, while starting to check the forums.

After reaching Level 20, players become quite mobile. A Bronze Middle Tier Warrior could easily run at a speed of about two hundred per hour, and Magic System players could learn the Flying Technique.

Even Alchemists could ride motorcycles,

So now the wilderness was filled with players everywhere. With version 1.0, they could log out and log back in on the spot, extending their range of activity indefinitely.

It’s said that some sightseeing players have reached thirty thousand kilometers beyond the city, and were lucky enough not to be killed.

In these players’ explorations, cases similar to Demacia’s have been reported four or five times, vaguely forming a net woven towards Dongwu City.

He continued searching for keywords on the forum and discovered that all four Border Cities had similar cases. However, in the other Border Cities, the people from the Ancient Divine Realm hadn’t run away.

Some players and the Ancient Divine Realm have already started fighting.

It just hasn’t extended to the four major cities themselves yet.

”That military horn is that guy’s lifeline. I’ve tried borrowing it for fun, but he wouldn’t let me. As for Xiaomo... it hasn’t had much of an appetite lately. Didn’t you see, when I summoned it just now, it wasn’t scared away by Er Shu? Haha, maybe it’s entering adulthood. My hard times might be coming to an end.”

Demacia responded to the barrage while taking out his phone to edit a message, muttering, ”I wonder if Baiyi knows about the situation here... I’ve got a feeling Dongwu City will be the hardest in this war, and that Guard Brigade doesn’t seem to be doing anything....”

He looked up at the sky, then asked, ”When do you think the cat from the trailer will come out? Is it possible to turn it into a summoned creature?”

Seeing the barrage hit his confidence hard, Demacia didn’t mind: ”People always need fantasies. The monster’s gone now, Er Shu, come out, let’s keep treasure hunting!”

As the big bat appeared, Demacia took flight once more, heading further away.

Zero: [Miracle Demacia sent a message: There are many teleportation arrays from the Ancient Divine Realm appearing in the wild, but they disappear upon encountering a Marvel.]

Zero: [According to the information released by the Marvels on the Alchemy Magic Net, the war might officially start within a month.]

Baiyi, who was updating the Hive with Super Alloy, paused for a moment.

But he ignored it and continued manufacturing.

The onset of war was normal; there had always been wars from version 2.0 to 3.0.

When Dongwu City was breached, the eastern Border City became Chaoyang City, and the battlefields in the south, west, and north never stopped.

And at that time, there were disruptions inside the Federation caused by the Black Night Rose and players, while externally besieged by numerous Ancient Divine Realms, yet nothing happened. Now, it’s even less likely anything will happen.

Current four legions in Dongwu City throw in billions every month. This money is not for keeping up appearances; Dongwu City is never afraid of war.

With a population over five million, a flood of adventurers and transcendents were pushing their way into the four major legions. It was hard to suppress the public’s eagerness for war.

Even during the previous two player wars, Dongwu City’s transcendents criticized them. After all, war leads to casualties, and casualties mean legion vacancies, which gives them a chance to join the legion.

Whether they’ll die after entering the legion isn’t the issue; the mortality rate among adventurers is no less than that of the legion. First, they secure the high-paying positions.

However, Baiyi explained to the AI: [Look more at the official releases. Seventy percent of the Marvels’ releases are exaggerated, and anything with the word ”shock” in it is guaranteed to be 100% exaggerated. Your discernment module needs an upgrade.]

Zero: [....I do not understand. I only analyze based on data.]

Baiyi: [I’ll upgrade it for you once I’m done with the Hive.]

Once the Hive was completed, Baiyi looked at the two apprentices and asked, ”Was there anything you didn’t understand about the manufacturing process just now?”

Barto looked a bit confused but still said, ”I’ve recorded the operations of Lord City Lord and will review them repeatedly.”

Moon Side, on the other hand, had a hint of excitement in his eyes: ”Lord City Lord, could you teach me this alloy technique of yours? It feels like it’s a hundred times stronger than the alloys I can make now.”

Baiyi glanced at his mechanical arm, was silent for a moment, and then nodded: ”Alright, but your tier is too low. For now, you’ll handle the compression and extraction of solar energy, and I’ll teach you when you’re ready to manufacture.”

Thinking for a moment, he said, ”I’ll give you a budget of one hundred thousand gold coins, which you can use freely to purchase any materials you wish to use for your creations. I’ll have them purchased at 10% below market prices.”

”I can guarantee that all your creations will be sold immediately, but how much growth funding you’ll ultimately acquire depends on your own capabilities.”

Barto and Moon Side’s eyes lit up as they agreed immediately. This mode was actually the standard Alchemist’s growth model, but an ordinary Alchemist’s creations weren’t that easily sold.
