This day was destined to be a nightmare for the masters behind all the financial magnates of Blue Star, as they simultaneously became slaves to Ye Yun’s divine sense cage.
They didn't know how they returned, their bodies like walking corpses, their faces mournful as they returned to their territories.
"Heh heh, these guys are finally gone. We won't have to listen to their nonsensical advice anymore." Among the five bigwigs, Jin Di was the happiest. He was in charge of dealing with these aristocratic families and knew how troublesome they were.
"Little Ye, isn't your contribution point system a bit too monstrous? You only get one contribution point for killing a ghost player, and even donating gold coins only exchanges one contribution point for ten thousand gold coins. It would take ages for them to reach a million contribution points," Elder Xia, number one, also said with a smile.
Ten thousand gold coins for one attribute point, and to reach the threshold for entering Feng Le City, one would have to spend tens of billions of gold coins. This would almost extinguish their hope of entering Feng Le City in the entire Western world.
"Do you think these people can't afford to spend tens of billions of gold coins? At least half of the people present today can achieve this in one go; it's just a matter of whether they are willing to spend it."
"Alright, five bigwigs, I have other matters to attend to. Before I leave, here's a suggestion: prioritize developing a few reliable individuals. After all, you are now backed by Shang Jing City and have its immense income as support."
Shang Jing City alone, relying on the entrance fees from these foreigners, was earning a fortune every day. If this capital were to be utilized effectively, several Venerables could have been cultivated long ago. With Venerables in charge, would there be any need to fear these petty criminals?
After speaking, Ye Yun returned directly to Dragon Palace Building without any delay. This was because in the Heavenly Dao, the ghost race had once again launched an attack on Feng Le City.
Ye Yun couldn't understand these ghost race fellows. They clearly knew it was impossible, yet their city-attacking plans never stopped every round.
"I just wonder if there will be any evolution rewards after successfully defending the city this time."
If there were no other channels to obtain city evolution counts, then his 'Sword Immortal Inheritance' mission would very likely fail. Out of the four small tasks, the first three were already completed, leaving only the task of doubling the territory of Feng Le City.
Ye Yun's return did not alarm anyone. He directly lay down in his game pod, which he had not used for a long time.
At the west gate of Feng Le City, countless ghost players, knowing it was futile, still rushed towards Feng Le City like moths to a flame. Although their numbers had drastically decreased to tens of thousands, this still puzzled Ye Yun.
Could it be that attacking Feng Le City also had some rewards?
Ye Yun stood on the city wall, looking at the ghost race lying a kilometer away and the reserve team members watching the show from the city wall, unable to describe his feelings. Tens of thousands of ghost race members couldn't even break through the defensive perimeter of the city defenses, let alone require the reserve members to make a move. In less than an hour, this farcical city defense battle was over.
"System prompt: Congratulations to Feng Le City for repelling the ghost race's 53rd attack, and for the 53rd time, successfully defending without any losses. Reward: City Evolution Count * 4, 50 million gold coins, and +1000 to all attributes of the system's city defense army."
Hearing the system's prompt, Ye Yun was stunned.
This was the 53rd attack by the ghost race? The evolution count increased by four, and the city defense army's attributes increased by one hundred points each.
Ye Yun quickly went back to check the data from the 52nd attack.
"System prompt: Congratulations to Feng Le City for repelling the ghost race's 52nd attack, and for the 52nd time, successfully defending without any losses. Reward: City Evolution Count * 2, 50 million gold coins, and +1000 to all attributes of the system's city defense army."
"Damn it, it's like someone sent a pillow when I was about to fall asleep." Ye Yun was ecstatic beyond words looking at the system's prompt. Furthermore, all the attributes of the city guards he recruited on the battlements increased by a thousand points. Did this mean that the initial attributes of the 500,000 newly recruited city guards who had not yet been upgraded could all gain corresponding attributes after subsequent successful defenses?
Each attribute increased by one thousand points, so five attributes would be five thousand points!
Thinking about this, Ye Yun immediately became agitated.
He had originally thought that recruiting city guards only relied on accumulating gold coins to increase their attribute points. Ye Yun deeply regretted his previous recruitment of 500,000 city guards, having only assigned them to maintain order within the city.
What Ye Yun valued most was the evolution count. Ye Yun clearly remembered that only one evolution count was obtained when Feng Le City successfully defended against the ghost race's attack for the 51st time. The 52nd time yielded two, and now it was three. How many would it be next time? Eight? And after that?
Ye Yun dared not imagine.
Unknown to Ye Yun, in a main city of the ghost race spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers, hundreds and thousands of ghost race members gathered in the vast City Lord's Mansion.
"Holy Lord, the generals who attacked Feng Le City have returned," suddenly, a ghost race member stood up, breaking the silence of the entire court, and spoke to a ghost race member on the throne who exuded a strange aura.
"How?" The ghost race member on the throne was over three zhang tall. Even when sitting, it was difficult to conceal the immense pressure he exuded.
"As the Holy Lord predicted, the players in this attack each received a reward of ten attribute points," the ghost race player said to the Holy Lord with great joy.
"The first time, we sent three hundred thousand players to attack Feng Le City, and each player received only fifty free attribute points. The second time, we sent a hundred thousand troops, and they received one hundred attribute points. Why is it that this time, only three thousand players were sent, and each received only two hundred points?"
Hearing the ghost race player's words, the Holy Lord couldn't help but feel puzzled. He waited for a long time, but none of the hundreds and thousands of ghost race members spoke.
"Holy Lord, perhaps this is also a mechanism in the game to prevent us from farming attribute points," the player replied after a long silence.
"There's a possibility. Now, the four main cities of the human race, the four of us have already agreed. Feng Le City will be our responsibility, but now that we've encountered this situation, what do you think we should do?"
The Holy Lord spoke, looking at the over a thousand ghost race players seated below. They were all overlords in charge of their respective main cities, and they were also generals of the major legions of his real-life ghost army and officials who had managed vast territories.
"Lord Holy Lord, I believe there is no need for us to break through the human main cities. The human star domain has a population of twenty billion, all concentrated in four main cities. It is simply unrealistic for us to completely break through and destroy them," at this moment, a voice suddenly came from a white mist sitting next to the Holy Lord.
"I second that."
"This time, the four great holy cities of the ghost race have gained several Holy Lords, and the original four great holy cities have been transformed into ten great holy dynasties. Now, our Tian Yin Holy Dynasty has fallen behind the other three great holy cities. If we can cleverly utilize this Feng Le City, while the other great holy dynasties are still unaware, we can quickly close the gap."
"This is an excellent way to cultivate an army. After all, other human main cities do not have this natural condition. And even when the other great holy dynasties react, it will still require deliberately conducting fifty water-releasing attacks. By then, our armies can be far ahead of them."
As soon as the voice from the white mist finished, it was immediately met with the approval of several ghost race members hidden in the mist.
"I know this, but have you considered this: if we, as the attacking side that failed, received such generous rewards, what about the rewards gained by the defending side?" The Heavenly Yin Holy Lord asked with a frown...
