Game of the World Tree - Chapter 561

561. Chapter 559: Issuance of City Construction Order

The new update log has once again sparked a heated discussion among the players.

The second batch of public beta players have not yet felt much.

They have just joined the game and are still in the excitement of exploration and playing. Although they are very curious about the so-called city building and city lord system, they are more concerned about how to upgrade and grind for contribution points to buy equipment…

But the old players are different.

After the battle of Death Desert, many of them have graduated.

Now, they are either eagerly waiting for the silver quota, or trying to grind for contribution points for the top-level god equipment.

In short… the pressure of upgrading is temporarily gone, and there is more and more time for free play.

Therefore, when they saw that the city building system was going to be opened, their eyes lit up.

New player cities are established with guild alliances as units, and players become city lords and manage the cities themselves.

This… isn’t it an enhanced version of the guild territory?

No… considering the freedom of “Elf Kingdom”, this is definitely more interesting than the so-called guild territory in other online games!

Although the Chosen City is good, it is becoming more and more crowded with the increase in population, and the speed of expansion has been unable to keep up with the speed of the increase in new players.

Even the newly expanded areas are far less attractive than the blocks in the core area due to the distance.

Not only that, because there are too many people online, you have to queue up to accept tasks every time you are doing daily tasks, which is simply poisonous…

At this time, if you have the opportunity to build a new city, a city belonging to your own guild, although you need to start from scratch, in the long run, it is definitely beneficial and harmless!

“Elf Kingdom” has such a high degree of freedom, and the sense of epic and participation is also very strong. If the new city is well managed, it may really become a main city famous throughout the world of Segus!

This is not impossible.

When the Chosen City was built, who would have thought that the small town with only 300 players would develop into a metropolis with a population of hundreds of thousands.

And if it really did, it would be very fulfilling and very immersive.

In addition, the city lord system is also very attractive.

Power is something that will be sought after by people wherever it goes.

Just imagine, if you own a city… that feeling must be wonderful!

Of course, ordinary people can’t become a city lord.

But even if you can’t become a city lord, becoming a veteran of a new city is definitely a win-win in the long run.

Haven’t you seen that the housing prices in the core area of the Chosen City have been hyped up to the sky?

And which of the 300 players at the time didn’t have a single-family villa in the core area?

Even if they were poor, relying on the houses in the built-up area, their net worth is enough for newcomers to look up to…

Thinking of this, the top leaders of major guilds were tempted.

“Sure! They’re going to build a new city. This time, our First Legion must sign up!”

“Yeah, it’d be better to build a city in the northern area of the Elf Forest. Otherwise, it’s too inconvenient to run back and forth every time we swipe monsters.”

“Haha, are we going to build a new city? I feel like we’re going to get rich!”

“Get rich? The qualification for building a city is a total of 60 million contribution points. How can you get rich? Are you going to go bankrupt?”

“Hey, we’re from the Cute Committee, and our construction team has been thirsting for money.”

“Fuck, it turns out it’s you black-hearted real estate developers…”

“Evil capitalists…”

“…”

Even some small and medium-sized guilds were eager to try after looking at the alliance’s explanation.

“New city, it feels so interesting, can we give it a try?”

“But the qualifications are too difficult, right? 60 million contribution points… Even if we sell them, our guild can’t get enough, let alone the number of people…” “

Cooperate with other guilds? I think this guild alliance is still worthwhile. We can’t just let a few big guilds grow bigger, right?”

“Oh, I really envy those big guilds who donate tens of millions without taking a breath. It’s too difficult for small guilds…”

“Small guilds have their advantages, and big guilds have their disadvantages. The more people they have, the more bloated they are, and the harder it is to manage. There are also many rules and regulations. It’s more comfortable to have a group of relatives and friends like us. The only disadvantage is that the guild is too weak.”

“Each has its pros and cons.”

The discussion among the players became more and more heated.

During this time, Eve also selected more than 20 suitable locations for building a city in her area according to development needs.

As the actual controller of an area with a radius of millions of kilometers and a true god with great magical powers, Eve still has a set of skills in choosing a location for building a city.

These locations were not chosen randomly, but were chosen based on strategic needs, geographical location, and material conditions.

Strategic needs are self-evident.

Those key locations… such as the area in the northern area of the Elf Forest close to the former Kingdom of God, the Dark Mountain area connecting the Death Desert and the Elf Forest, and the eastern area of the Elf Forest across the river from the Holy Mania Empire, are all places where Eve plans to build a city.

Of course, the specific locations in a certain area are also carefully selected by Eve.

They must not only be suitable for building a city, but also have resources worth building a city.

For example, the three locations in the resource-scarce Dark Mountain area that Eve marked in green.

One is in a basin suitable for building a city, which is a relatively fertile area in the Dark Mountains; one is at the junction of the Dark Mountains and the Fertile Plains, where the land is quite fertile; and another is in a place close to the underground world, which can not only open up a passage to the underground world, but also contains valuable mineral deposits…

Of course, although three places are marked green in the Dark Mountains, Eve only intends to build a city here. Once a player guild chooses one of the three locations, the other two will be removed from the suitable locations for building a city.

Not to mention the Elf Forest, almost any place is fertile, and you only need to consider the terrain and geographical location. Among the more than 20 green-marked locations, except for the three in the Dark Mountains area, the rest are all in the Elf Forest.

In Eve’s plan, considering the needs of development and strategy, it is best to have a guaranteed main city in the Dark Mountains, the eastern border of the Elf Forest, and the northern area of the Elf Forest.

The Elf Forest is easy to say.

The eastern border is close to the Vimur River (see Chapter 210 for details), which is the largest river in the Segus continent. It faces the Holy Mannia Empire across the river. On weekdays, there are often merchant ships from the southern Kingdom of Eris and the Holy Mannia Empire traveling between them. The river transportation is well developed, and the land on the shore is very fertile, which is very suitable for building a port…

This is still very attractive to those large guilds that have begun to trade with the human world.

Although the northern area is far away from the core area, it is very rich in Warcraft resources, which is very attractive to those high-level players who like to swipe monsters and adventure.

As early as a few months ago, some people complained that it was too time-consuming to travel back and forth between the northern area and the southern core area. If a city is really built, it will definitely meet the needs.

Not to mention, the previous Kingdom of God also fell in that direction, and Eve plans to officially open the exploration of the Kingdom of God to players soon.

It can be foreseen that even if the northern area is far away, it is very likely to become a hot spot for building a city.

I’m afraid no one is willing to go to the Dark Mountains…

Compared with the rich Elf Forest, the Dark Mountains are still too barren. The magic concentration here is not high, and the transportation is not convenient. Even building a city is quite challenging.

However, as a unique “mountain”, maybe someone is really interested?

In this regard, Eve’s plan is to package and blow it up when introducing players to places suitable for building cities.

For example, mountain cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, such as the strategic position connecting the Death Desert and the Elf Forest is very important, such as the potential to stimulate hidden plots…

Three key areas guarantee three cities, and other areas are left to the players to play.

Now there are 360,000 players in “Elf Kingdom”. If you count 30,000 players, there are 12 cities. Remove the decimals, Eve thinks there must be at least 10 cities, right?

He is still looking forward to it.

In order to facilitate the players’ choice and for them to prepare in advance, three days after the update log was released, Eve uploaded these more than 20 locations to the official website forum.

For a while, the enthusiasm for the construction was pushed to a new peak…

…

Time flies.

Unconsciously, the update date has arrived, and the city construction system is about to be officially opened.

The Chosen City, the Central Temple.

Today’s Temple Square is more lively than in the past.

Players can be seen everywhere in the square and in the buildings on both sides.

The sounds of playing and hawking are one after another, as lively as a celebration.

The players are wearing all kinds of equipment, some are high-level players and some are new players. Many people are curious and excited to look in the direction of the temple.

However, compared with the square that is almost crowded with people, the temple seems quite deserted.

In the past, people came and went, and even the Church of Life, which was crowded because of the influx of public beta players, did not have even a single player at this moment, which looked very strange.

And from the square, you can find that the place where the players gather is clearly divided from the temple. No one has stepped into the temple around the temple.

It feels like there is an invisible barrier blocking the players from entering the temple.

No, this is not a feeling.

They really can’t enter the temple.

This is what Eve did.

Today is the day when players officially apply for city building, and Eve will grant city building orders to qualified guilds as Zero, the God’s Favor.

In order to prevent some guilds from taking advantage of loopholes to get city building orders, and to make players pay more attention to the city building quota, she decided to use the time of Segs World as the benchmark in the future, and open it every three months to uniformly issue city building orders.

The issuance location is the main hall of the temple in the Chosen City. There are only two hours of application time on that day, and the person who handles it is Zero, the God’s Favor, which is Eve’s vest.

Therefore, in order to prevent the players who are watching the excitement from crowding the temple, she deliberately banned them from entering the nearby area through the game system.

Today, within two hours from now, only guilds that meet the application conditions can send representatives to enter the temple.

Outside the temple, Li Mu watched the time and waited quietly.

It was not yet seven o’clock in the morning in Segs World, and the door of the main hall of the temple was still closed, and only the side hall was open to the public.

However, he was already a little impatient.

In four days, the Nature’s Heart Guild had already collected the required contribution points, and now they were waiting to apply for the city.

As for the location of the city…

Yesterday, the Nature’s Heart Guild’s top leaders had discussed it for a day and decided to choose between the northern area of the Elf Forest and the eastern border.

The former is suitable for monster hunting, and the latter is suitable for trade, both are good.

In addition to Li Mu, the presidents of the other three major guilds, Tomato Fried Tomato of the First Legion, Xiao Xianmao of the Cute Committee, and the shapeshifter Ji Gang who changed the guild’s name from Autobots to the Scourge Knights, also came.

Several well-known big players from the entire server gathered together, which also aroused excited discussions among the surrounding players:

“Brother Mu? That’s Brother Mu, right? This is the first time I see the real person!”

“Sure enough, the big guys from Nature’s Heart, the First Legion, the Cute Committee and the Autobots are here. I’m so envious… Having money means you can be willful. 60 million contribution points is simply an astronomical figure.”

“Hey, it’s a top guild after all. Even the Autobots have more than 30,000 players after this update. Oh… no, they are now called the Knights of the Scourge, and even the guild flag has been changed to the sword and shield.”

“Tsk, this name is much better. The previous guild names sounded too weird, like Autobots… It sounds more out of place than the Cute Committee.”

“Hahaha… Don’t let Sister Miao hear this, or they’ll raise the price of your house.”

“Sister Miao is here too? Where is she?”

“Look, over there.”

“Fuck! Such a high-end set of equipment, all of them are silver and gold legends, right? You are worthy of being the richest man in the entire server…”

“I’m jealous, the evil capitalist.”

“I don’t want to work hard anymore, let’s go lick Sister Miao together?”

“Sister Miao said that there are enough people who lick her, and you are not missing one more.”

“Sad.”

Looking at the several figures with gorgeous equipment and powerful aura waiting outside the temple, the players talked about it.

However, in addition to the four major guilds that never miss big events, there are also some other unfamiliar figures this time.

“Look! It’s the All-Star Guild, they’re here too.”

“All-Star… I remember they’re a professional club, right? Are they here too for Elf Kingdom?” “

They came during the fourth test, but their development wasn’t very good at that time. They surged after the public beta, and now the total number of members in the guild is almost over 20,000. It’s expected to become the fifth largest guild in the future.”

“With less than 20,000 people, that’s not enough to build a city, right?”

“They joined several small and medium-sized guilds to form an alliance.”

“I see…”

“Huh? That’s the president of the Silver Hand, right? Is he here too? Although their guild is also top-notch, the number of members barely exceeds 10,000, right?” “

Yeah, but they formed an Azeroth Guild Alliance with several other guilds. They’re qualified enough, and they’re also planning to apply to build a city.”

“That’s great… It’s a pity that our guild has too few people, only more than a thousand.”

“That’s not a small number. Our guild is super small, with only more than 200 people. But if you really want to participate in building a city, the Goddess Eve Support Group over there is recruiting small guilds, and only a thousand people can join.”

“Pfft… What kind of guild name is this…”

“It is a new guild established by players in the first public beta test. There are more than 3,000 people. Now they have pulled together dozens of small guilds to form an alliance, raised contributions, and are planning to build a city.”

The players who were watching the excitement were very excited.

A moment later, the bell of the temple rang slowly…

It was time to issue the city construction order.

Li Mu and others who were waiting outside the temple were delighted.

They opened the game system one after another and paid the contributions they had prepared on the newly appeared city construction application interface.

After the contributions were deducted, they also obtained the qualification to enter the temple.

Under the envious eyes of other players, the elites among these 360,000 players, the leaders of various guilds and guild alliances, all couldn’t wait to step into the main hall of the temple.
