Upon the matter of money, Ye Yun's shift in demeanor was so rapid that even the three individuals accustomed to the capricious nature of their respective factions found it difficult to adjust. Under Ye Yun's oppressive presence, An Chenyu found himself bewildered as he followed Ye Yun into the city they had been assaulting for nearly a day.
In less than a day, despite suffering losses of nearly five million soldiers, they had inflicted no damage whatsoever upon this city. This was considered a remarkable feat, even among the divine cities.
Behind Ye Yun, Ji Wumei and Xuan Yuan's expressions flickered incessantly. Ultimately, consumed by the fear of death, the two reluctantly signed their names.
The three of them were natives of the game, thus the heavenly law's constraints on them were far stronger than on players. One wrong move could mean annihilation! This was precisely why the two had hesitated.
Led by Ye Yun, the three entered Fengle City. As they entered the city, gazing upon the towering defensive structures that pierced the clouds, they were awestruck. These very structures had felled nearly half their soldiers. Such potent attacks were exceptionally rare, even within the nine divine cities.
The city gates stood wide open. Upon entering, the three were met with a sea of heads, their faces pale. From morning until now, he had believed this city was defended solely by a mere hundred thousand alien soldiers. He had never imagined there were so many people within.
There must be millions here, right?
The three exchanged glances and swallowed hard, forcing down the shock that churned within them.
Ye Yun designated the three as friendly forces. This meant that all players and city defense structures of his faction could not launch attacks against them. However, it did not preclude them from attacking players within the city or damaging its structures. But should they initiate an attack, they would be identified as enemy forces by the city's judgment system. At that point, all city defense structures would immediately eliminate them.
Thus, Fengle City offered them a chance to survive, yet it was also their prison. They could not use the teleportation array, nor could they step beyond the city gates. Moreover, one wrong move could lead to death. Was this not a cage?
"General!" Ye Yun entered the city with the three foreign players. Zhou Ningdong and the others naturally knew of their arrival, so as Ye Yun returned to the city, they hurried to greet him.
"This is where the three of you will live from now on. Come, let me introduce you. These are all my brothers, my comrades. If you ever need anything, you can talk to them."
Seeing Zhou Ningdong and the others, Ye Yun smiled, gave Zhou Ningdong a knowing look, and then instructed him to take the three to familiarize themselves with the city. He then turned and entered the Qitian Tower alone.
Although Ye Yun had been gone for only a few hours, the Qitian Tower had yielded a considerable amount of various stones, enough to upgrade several arrow towers once more!
After exchanging all the stones for gold coins, Ye Yun did not immediately upgrade the city defense structures. Instead, he erected another hundred arrow towers on the city walls of the east gate. Moreover, he upgraded all these arrow towers to level 30!
From afar, the east gate's battlements were densely lined with arrow towers on both sides. Their dark walls and deep firing ports exuded a chilling sense of oppression.
Level 30 arrow towers could not instantly kill natives of the divine cities, but they could inflict significant damage. And given Fengle City's current finances, it was sufficient to support the slow growth of its defense structures.
When the time came, not to mention mere millions of invaders, even tens or hundreds of millions would be forced to submit! After all, there was only one entrance teleportation array, and not only was there a limit to the troop capacity for each teleportation, but the ground area in front of it was also insufficient to accommodate a massive army.
Thus, including those constructed sporadically over time, Fengle City's walls now boasted a total of over four thousand five hundred defensive structures, primarily located on the eastern and western walls. Among these, the five hundred constructed later were level 30, while the rest were at least level 38, each capable of instantly eliminating invaders from the divine cities!
"It's been a while since I visited the Myriad Things Marketplace. I wonder if it's because Miss Xiao Hong has left, but the quality of goods in the marketplace has significantly declined." Ye Yun emerged from the Qitian Tower and, while passing through the side courtyard of his mansion, suddenly thought of Comrade Xiao Hong, who had departed some time ago.
"Welcome, City Lord, to our humble establishment. Is there anything I can do for you?" As Ye Yun entered the side courtyard, he immediately heard Xiao Hong's familiar voice in his ear.
Xiao Hong?
Ye Yun was taken aback. Hadn't that alluring woman entered the Path of Awakening? Why was she still here?
Ye Yun followed the sound but could not find Xiao Hong. The entire courtyard was empty. Despite the fragrant flowers and plants, there was a sense of desolation.
"Did I develop auditory hallucinations from past heartbreak?" Ye Yun looked at the only black and grey vortex, resembling a black hole, in the courtyard, and couldn't help but grumble. He then plunged into the vortex.
"Hehe, please choose the item you wish to select, City Lord."
Abruptly, Xiao Hong's voice sounded in Ye Yun's ear again. Her soft tone sent a shiver down his spine.
This...
Ye Yun was somewhat dazed. After observing for a long while, Ye Yun finally realized that the voice was emanating from the Myriad Things Marketplace. It was likely a mischievous prank Xiao Hong had devised through some unknown means before her departure.
However, this tone was far too different from Xiao Hong's personality!
After understanding the situation, Ye Yun composed himself and began browsing the already open item list. But the moment he looked up, he was stunned, as if he had seen something incredible.
The item in the first slot of the product list emitted a strong pink glow. Ye Yun could not discern its specific appearance. What was most devastating to Ye Yun was its price, which required one million Primordial Spirit Points!
What made Ye Yun even more uneasy was that the second and third items were similar. The difference was that they emitted intense golden light.
This had shattered all previous records of the Myriad Things Marketplace!
This is…
