Chapter 1371
1371 Ten skyscrapers
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
During this period of time, the continent was in a state of turmoil. The three great empires were surrounded by Flames of War, and the century of peace had long ended.
The orc Alliance’s offensive was extremely fierce. They had practically mobilized all their troops. With the support of the Holy Dragon City, even if they were to go to war with the three great empires at the same time, they were still at ease.
Although the orc Alliance had suffered a lot of casualties in this war, the loss of population was nothing compared to the rich harvest.
At least, the Chiefs of the orc Alliance were so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths. Looking at the mountain-like pile of spoils of war, they were even more motivated to fight. They couldn’t wait to unify the continent and become the true Overlord of this land!
The three great empires were caught up in a bitter battle, while the Holy Dragon City, which had stirred up a storm, was still busy with the construction of the land of exile, as if these things had nothing to do with them.
Even if the Great Wall of Miracles had a large number of soldiers, before the three empires dealt with the orc Alliance, they would not dare to attack the Holy Dragon City easily. Otherwise, they would be in a disadvantageous situation where they were attacked from both sides.
A new day had arrived.
Gently putting down the book in his hand, Tang Zhen walked to the edge of the main tower. From here, he could see the passage leading to the myriad world mall. People were constantly coming in and out of it.
Now, among the customers of the myriad world mall, there were some merchants from the mainland. They traveled thousands of miles to the Holy Dragon City, and after a careful shopping spree, they would ship these goods to other places to make a profit.
Even if the road was difficult and dangerous, it could not stop these merchants who were driven by profit.
Up until now, the initial layout of Holy Dragon City had been completed. They only needed to wait for the right time, and Holy Dragon City could send troops to occupy this mainland.
The next thing to do was to prepare for the new war zone.
Among the foundation stones stored in the Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen chose ten with better attributes and used them to build the new tower.
After these ten turreted cities were built, they would be under the management of the main control platform of the Holy Dragon City. They were the turreted cities of the new battle zone in name, but in reality, they were still under the jurisdiction of the Holy Dragon City.
After that, he would have to spend a lot of resources to upgrade these ten towers. When they reached a certain level, Tang Zhen would be able to build a new battle zone and promote from the Lord of the towers to the Lord of the battle zone!
The candidates for the city Lords of the ten towers had been decided. Tai Seng, Qian Long, and the others would become the new city Lords. As the first batch of towers in the war zone and one of the top-tier towers in the future, Tang Zhen had to hand this important position over to his trusted subordinates.
At this moment, the ten city Lords had already brought the building foundations to various areas of the land of exile. They were just waiting for Tang Zhen’s order, and then the ten building foundations would be lifted up from the ground!
With a gentle wave of his hand, a three-dimensional image appeared around Tang Zhen. The owners of the ten cities held the foundation stones of the tower in their hands and looked at Tang Zhen with a solemn expression.
“Greetings to the city Lord!”
The ten cultivators bowed at the same time to show their respect to Tang Zhen.
you’re welcome. You’re all my most trusted people. That’s why I’m giving you the position of the first batch of loucheng Lords. I only hope that you can work together and make the name of our battle zone spread throughout the world of loucheng as soon as possible!
“I won’t let down the city Lord’s high hopes!”
The city Lords answered in unison, full of confidence.
that’s good. Please start the sacrifice now. We’ll build the city immediately!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ten city Lords raised the foundation stones in their hands at the same time, placed them on the altar, and began to chant.
A large number of brain pearls were absorbed, and then the foundation stone began to glow. The illusions of towers appeared in the consciousness of these city Lords, quickly changing according to their thoughts.
When one of the city Lords decided to build a city, the main control platform immediately responded. The stored world’s origin was transformed into a special power, turning the city without a physical body into a real object!
When the first tower appeared out of thin air, the second tower was also completed, and the main control platform began to materialize for the second time.
It did not take long for the ten towers to be completed, and they stood tall in all directions of the land of exile.
“Owwuuu!”
A series of shrill roars sounded, and a plane channel appeared in front of each tower. Countless monsters swarmed out, heading straight for the newly built tower.
The cultivators of Lou city, who had been waiting for a long time, let out excited roars. One by one, they rushed into the group of monsters and vented their desire to kill in the midst of the flashing swords and sabers.
This was the life they wanted. Even if they died in a sea of blood, it would be far better than growing old in comfort.
These monsters were created by the main control platform. They were originally ordinary creatures within the Great Wall of Miracles. However, after being injected with the power of the origin, they would instantly turn into terrifying monsters.
They had only one use, which was to train the cultivators of Lou Cheng and use their corpses to pave the path of Lou Cheng, which was destined to be filled with slaughter in the future.
This was a routine that the world of loucheng had always used. Although it was bloody and cruel, it was quite effective.
Tang Zhen was fortunate enough to control a foundation stone platform. He naturally had the authority to set the rules. However, this did not mean that he would completely overturn the rules that had been set for countless years. Instead, he would make improvements on this Foundation.
To Tang Zhen, the original rules of the world of loucheng were too cruel. The monsters everywhere also restricted the development of the world of loucheng. Although it had the effect of tempering the cultivators in the world of loucheng, the losses were also huge.
Therefore, in the newly built battle zone, monsters would not appear around the building at all except when the building was leveling up. Instead, they would all appear in the designated area and become the exclusive hunting ground for the cultivators in the building.
The monsters were divided according to their strength. The monsters in the outermost area were the weakest, and the stronger ones were located in the monster hunting ground. The cultivators in the building could kill them according to their strength.
Here, Tang Zhen left a small benefit for the Lou Cheng cultivators in the battle zone. Not only did these transformed monsters have brains, but other items might also appear in their bodies, and there was no lack of good stuff.
Of course, most of the items were just scraps. However, they still had a certain value. It would be a pity to throw them away. Therefore, Tang Zhen simply placed them in the monster’s body as a benefit.
The corpses of the killed monsters would not go to waste either. Because they were infused with the power of the origin, their flesh and blood had special effects. When the spoils of war were taken away, these monsters ‘corpses would dissipate in an extremely short time to become nutrients for the earth, allowing the barren land to regain its vitality!
The cultivators who killed the monsters would also benefit from it. They could more or less absorb some of the origin Energy, allowing their strength to increase steadily.
If the transmigrators from the original world saw these settings, they would definitely feel like they were playing a live-action online game, because everything was too similar to the games in the original world.
That’s right, Tang Zhen had borrowed the game’s model and there was nothing wrong with it. As the master of the main control platform, he could play however he wanted to!
Of course, there was another reason for this. It was to attract the transmigrators from the original world to actively hunt monsters to improve their strength. It was best to fight for the position of city Lord and work hard for Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen had no choice but to do this. After all, a war zone needed the support of a massive number of residents in the city. A population of over 100 million was only the foundation. On the other hand, the Holy Dragon City only had a population of over three million. At best, it was only one-tenth of the population of a continent-level city.
Therefore, in order to attract more people, Tang Zhen had almost thought of all kinds of ways. Otherwise, the war zone itself had the function of using the origin Energy to consolidate the land. Why would he bother to disrupt the situation on the continent?
In the end, it was all for the sake of population. As long as the three empires were in chaos, the land of exile without war would become a paradise, attracting countless people to live there, and they would eventually become the residents of the buildings in the war zone.
As for the loss of population in the war, it was just a necessary loss to realize the plan, and it would not take many years to recover.
If he wanted to become a King, he did not need a woman’s heart. Tang Zhen had managed the Holy Dragon City to its current situation and had long been indifferent to life and death. The number of people who died because of his decisions might have already exceeded ten million!
In addition to these transformed monsters, all kinds of wild buildings that provided the foundation for the world of loucheng would also appear in these special areas for the cultivators to explore.
In fact, these wild buildings that appeared out of thin air were also materialized by the main control platform. It copied the images of the destroyed items belonging to different worlds and then copied them with the power of the origin. Its purpose was to locate the coordinates of the other world through the residual origin aura on these items.
As for the foundation stone of the tower, it was just a bonus given to the cultivators of the tower. Moreover, the attributes of the foundation stone of the tower appeared randomly and could not be controlled at all.
Of course, all of this was not important. After all, an excellent-grade cornerstone could only make the road slightly easier in the early stages. As for whether there was a chance to set foot in a top-tier building in the future, it would depend on various factors.
