The regional voice effect that cost a spirit stone was clearly useless, as over ninety-nine percent of the creatures within a million li of this sub-city had perished in Ye Yun's attack.
However, for the players who had managed to survive the onslaught, whether in the sky, on the ground, or even underwater, the shock was immeasurable.
" Yue Di, for all players within my territory who possess a 'Tuo Yun Token', they must all be submitted. One Tuo Yun Token is equivalent to ten contribution points. One hundred contribution points can be exchanged for one spirit stone. Those who do not exchange for spirit stones, accumulating two thousand contribution points can allow them entry into the main city and become its citizens!"
This encounter with the Divine Race in reality had ripped away a layer of secrecy that had shrouded the Tenth Cosmos. It also instilled in Ye Yun an even more urgent desire to become stronger. And the best and fastest way to grow stronger was to rapidly accumulate wealth within the Heavenly Dao and then monetize it.
To rapidly accumulate wealth within the Heavenly Dao, the New Mortal Continent was undoubtedly Ye Yun's first choice.
Ye Yun's idea was simple: as long as his territory's level increased, his territory and sub-cities could accommodate more players. At that time, he could completely rely on the New Mortal Continent's territory ranking bug to accumulate terrifying amounts of spirit stones!
Moreover, this harvest would be much more significant and faster than Ye Yun using the skill 'Fire Refining the World' himself.
"Also, mobilize players from all major planes to purchase medicinal ingredients for refining辟谷丹 (Bi Gu Dan) in their respective Heavenly Dao planes. The price can exceed the market price by up to two times!"
"This... Master, isn't this a bit too insane?" Yue Di had not yet recovered from Ye Yun's domineering regional voice when he was once again shocked by Ye Yun's words.
Especially regarding the collection of Tuo Yun Tokens from players within the territory. One had to know that there was a fundamental difference between players within the territory and citizens of the inner city. It was akin to foreigners in China. They had paid protection fees to enter Ye Yun's territory!
This matter was even more serious than Ye Yun killing millions of alien players. After all, killing players was inherently a conflict due to different factions and races. But if Ye Yun were to forcibly confiscate certain items from those players, the nature of the situation would fundamentally change.
"It's fine. The laws of this world are inherently the survival of the fittest. Furthermore, for the vast majority of independent players, even if they establish a territory, how many can defend against the attacks of the Flood Beasts? Rather than wasting them, it's better to exchange them for a little money?"
Ye Yun smiled calmly when faced with this question. As long as he had enough Tuo Yun Tokens, his Yun Tian City could rapidly improve and accommodate many people! Once his six sub-cities were established, he could quickly achieve his goal of enslaving all the alien players on the New Mortal Continent!
At that time, the amount of spirit stones he could extract from it was something Ye Yun could not even imagine!
As for causing public outrage?
Ye Yun could only chuckle.
Ye Yun clearly remembered the fates of Yue Xia and Liu Lang Zhe. That wooden block of a woman, Yao Die, had applied extreme pressure on them in reality simply because they were surpassing her in the game, even forcing Yue Xia to retreat to the Seventh Cosmos.
Among the myriad races of the cosmos, aside from the top powers of each cosmos, were there any who did not fight for the survival of their own races? It was the same in reality, let alone within the game!
Those who stood at the pinnacle of the cosmos were none of them benevolent!
"Yes, Master. I will go make arrangements now." Yue Di bowed and exited the mansion.
Although he was the leader of the Seven Clans, the tasks he undertook were much more low-key compared to the other six. He mostly acted as Ye Yun's steward.
In two days, Yun Yi City transformed from a 'ghost town' with only a few dozen people into a medium-sized territory with over four thousand players!
Under Ye Yun's command, with the cooperation of Yun Tian City's Seven Clans, and the strong 'support' of over four thousand citizens within Yun Yi City, Ye Yun possessed over thirty thousand 辟谷丹, with the number of superior quality 辟谷丹 exceeding three thousand. There were ten thousand good quality 辟谷丹, and the rest were below good quality.
The number of Tuo Yun Tokens Ye Yun accumulated even surpassed twenty-one thousand, far exceeding his expectations!
"As expected, there's strength in numbers," Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the resources in his hands.
Just now, Yue Di had brought Ye Yun another substantial amount of medicinal ingredients for refining 辟谷丹, totaling two hundred thousand portions. This was the result of Yue Di mobilizing all the players in Yun Yi City to purchase them from their respective Heavenly Dao planes.
"Master, Su Xian of the Yi Shu Clan has made a great contribution this time. Nearly half of these two hundred thousand portions were submitted by him alone."
Seeing Ye Yun's pleased expression, Yue Di couldn't help but explain.
"Oh? To collect a hundred thousand portions of ingredients in such a short time, he must be quite talented." Ten thousand portions of ingredients for 辟谷丹, not ten thousand plants, there's a fundamental difference.
"Indeed, your subordinate thinks so too. Moreover, his contribution points have already reached over six thousand. He just found Liu Sao and expressed his desire to apply to become a citizen of the main city. Master, what do you think..."
Over six thousand contribution points, which only amounts to over sixty spirit stones, but once they become citizens of the main city, the rewards will be far greater.
Therefore, no citizen in the entire Yun Yi City wanted to exchange their contribution points for spirit stones.
"Then approve it. We cannot go back on our word. Furthermore, our main city has very few players currently. How many players meet the requirements now?" Ye Yun said indifferently.
Ye Yun had already prepared himself for this. Moreover, according to Ye Yun's intentions, the more citizens, the better.
For Yun Tian City and its affiliated territories, all citizens were arguably the most idle, as all ground creatures within a million li of the territory had been cleared by Ye Yun. The remaining were only the scarce flying Flood Beasts or fixed-region swamp creatures.
"Alright, there are now five players who meet the conditions, and ten players have reached four thousand contribution points. Master, what about this Su Xian, what do you think..."
"Do as you wish. I'm a hands-off manager." Ye Yun laughed.
The foundation of Yun Tian City was its own powerful strength and its overwhelmingly potent large-scale attack. Therefore, Ye Yun had no worries about them causing trouble, not to mention the Heavenly Dao Agreement serving as a guarantee. As long as it didn't affect his profits, everything was negotiable.
Ye Yun understood Yue Di's small thoughts.
"Yes, thank you, Master!"
Ye Yun's words could be considered an affirmation of Yue Di's authority.
Soon, Ye Yun received notifications that five alien players had become citizens of Yun Tian City.
"The harvest of the New Mortal Continent has begun..." Ye Yun smiled in satisfaction as he watched Yue Di retreat.
It was a pity that on the entire New Mortal Continent, Ye Yun had only encountered one person from the Tenth Cosmos, Lu Jie. He hadn't encountered any Divine Race, Demonic Race, or the like.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the City Lord for upgrading Yun Tian City to level ten, consuming Tuo Yun Tokens * 25600. The territory can now accommodate 7680 players. Given the player's territory level, it is recommended that the player use Tuo Yun Tokens to expand the area of 'Yun Tian City'."
As soon as Ye Yun returned to Yun Tian City, he eagerly upgraded the main city's territory level. Afterwards, Ye Yun consumed a massive amount of Myriad Manifestation Stones to upgrade all existing buildings to level ten.
However, to upgrade his territory to star-level and even higher ranks later, even more terrifying tokens would be required.
