As a beast tamer, Jin Zhiyuan could currently tame four pets. If she could use the Beast God Soul, the pets she could enslave would increase from four to eight, and each pet's attribute points would rise by 30%.
This item was practically a divine artifact for beast tamers.
Beast tamers' tamed beasts only received 20% of their own attribute bonuses. After using this item, the attribute bonus directly reached 50%, a twofold increase.
With the item in hand, Ye Yun immediately mailed it to 'Wise Socialite.' Then, he exchanged all the spirit stones he had harvested from the New Mortal Continent over these days into gold coins and injected them into Fengle City, frantically upgrading all the arrow towers and tesla coils to level 40.
The income from the New Mortal Continent over three cycles was only enough to upgrade all four thousand city defense buildings to level 40! This illustrated how terrifying the gold coin consumption was for upgrading these city defense buildings.
However, despite the horrifying consumption, the effect left Ye Yun extremely satisfied. Previously, these arrow towers needed three to four hits to kill scouts from the divine cities, but now, let alone scouts, even the indigenous people from the vanguard legions could be instantly killed. The damage was visibly significant.
"Boss, something's happened!" On the terrace of the City Lord's Mansion, just as Ye Yun was preparing to go on a rampage in the Divine Realm, a voice message from Zhou Ningdong came through.
"Speak!"
"Our Shangjing City has been breached for the second time by those ghost race fellows. And news from Europe and the United States indicates that their main cities have suffered the same fate. From their attacks these past few times, it seems they've made preparations, gathering all the high-level players from several main cities into a new army to target our human race's various main cities."
Zhou Ningdong's tone was anxious. A breached main city meant severe destruction to buildings within, requiring a colossal sum for repairs. Moreover, the destruction of the Qi Tian Tower directly resulted in a huge loss of fiscal funds. Most importantly, if the Qi Tian Tower were breached three times consecutively, the main city would be demoted to a mere city, and the loss would be far greater than just gold coins; it would be the entire occupational inheritance of the human race.
"Have they all been breached for two consecutive weeks?" Ye Yun's brows furrowed into a deep line.
"Yes, last week, three main cities were breached almost simultaneously. It seems they calculated the timing for a unified offensive."
"Also, we'll ignore the main cities of foreigners for now. What's the situation in Shangjing City now? Didn't we have millions of soldiers there before? How could it still be breached?"
Shangjing City gathered over a billion players worldwide, tens of times more than Fengle City. Almost all high-level players from China and surrounding countries were concentrated there, yet it was still breached!
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. Elder Song hasn't elaborated either. However, Elder Song has already begun developing civilian legions. It's just that after two days of ghost race city warfare, Elder Song hopes we can help them hold on."
"You can decide these matters yourselves, but the premise is that it must not interfere with real-world missions. Understand?"
"Yes!"
"Also, I suggest they suspend large-scale civilian construction and prioritize building city defenses."
Although Fengle City was attacked by divine city forces once every day and faced an attack from the ghost race once a week, due to the powerful city defense buildings, the residents of Fengle City didn't need to pay much attention. Even the over three million city defense troops newly recruited by Fengle City simply stood on the city walls and watched with cold eyes.
And since the real-world divine race was already under his control, the real world could develop safely. Therefore, Ye Yun generously allowed Zhou Ningdong and others to participate in the defense of Shangjing City.
That's right. Ever since the mission 'Divine City Evolution 2' appeared, Ye Yun had started recruiting city defense troops frantically. If it weren't for the small size of the city and the overwhelming number of players within, Ye Yun would have wanted to recruit ten million city defense troops directly.
After all, every thirty days, the city defense troops' level automatically increased by one. In a year, that would be a level 12 city defense legion, which was a ridiculously profitable investment!
Three million city defense troops, three hundred defensive generals, the monthly military pay was over six billion gold coins. With Fengle City's current income, it was merely a fraction.
And with Ye Yun sparing no expense, these three million city defense troops were all upgraded to level 5 the moment they were recruited. Although their attack power was only 3200, Ye Yun believed that in two years, these city defense troops would grow to surpass the indigenous beings of those divine cities!
What Ye Yun valued most were the three hundred city guard generals he recruited, because their base attributes reached 1000 points, and their growth value was 0.2 higher than the 2.0 of the city guard soldiers, reaching 2.2. Therefore, Ye Yun upgraded all three hundred city guard generals to level 10 after they were recruited, allowing their attack power to exceed 1.2 million! This was enough to instantly kill most players at the current stage!
"It seems it will still take some time. Wang Chen has been in the Divine Realm for more than ten days, and his level has only increased by one. I don't know how much longer it will take for him to reach level 75!" Ye Yun lay on the lounge chair on the terrace, looking at the level rankings of Blue Star, feeling very dejected.
Now that the New Mortal Continent and the territory in the Sea of Bitterness were on the right track, Fengle City, if developed at its current pace, would allow him to withdraw in at most a month. However, there was no one of his own to take over the New Mortal Continent and the Sea of Bitterness, which Ye Yun could not tolerate.
Although the loyalty of Yue Di and the others was unquestionable, they were not of the human race. On this point, Ye Yun was uneasy. Let alone Yue Di, even other humans made Ye Yun uneasy!
Two days later, as expected, the four main cities of human players became two: Shangjing City and Fengle City. And because foreigners could not enter Fengle City, this caused congestion in Shangjing City.
Elder Song and others, in order to alleviate the situation, specially introduced a series of policies, the most unbearable one for international friends being a fee of one gold coin per person for any international friend entering the city.
This single policy completely blew up the Heavenly Dao Forum. Even the entire countries on Blue Star came out to resist. However, it was useless. No official from any country stepped forward to speak.
It wasn't until a few days later that official announcements from various countries were released one after another, and they were cooperation announcements with Shangjing City. The general idea was that they would rent a building in Shangjing City, and their own citizens could achieve career skill learning, quest reception, and other original main city functions through this building...
