  Chapter 348 The Disappeared Clockwork City

  Next, Mu You asked Lin Xue about some skin details, such as the death knell.

   According to Lin Xue, the death knell is not a physical prop that exists in reality, but will only appear together when the **** of death must be summoned.

As for the effect of the clock, in addition to suppressing the enemy's actions, there are different levels of punishment such as blocking the flow of magic power, and even directly lowering the level. According to the value of good and evil, the higher the viciousness, the more severe the punishment, but there is a prerequisite, that is, it must be negative. , it can be activated. If it is used on a person whose good and evil value is above zero, it will have no effect.

   This is the end of the discussion about the skin, and more information needs to be explored slowly.

   Seeing that Mu You and the two were about to go back, Lin Xue also planned to go back to the store, but Mu You naturally refused.

   "Take a good rest these few days and don't mess around."

   Mu You insisted on keeping Lin Xuequan at home, and then left the manor with Xiaoya. Lin Hai sent a car to take them back to the pet shop.

  In the car, Mu You turned on his phone and followed the forum news.

   Sure enough, the top search on the forum is still 'Dawn City Changes Owner'.

Yesterday, when Muyou and the others left Death's Tomb, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and the time for the door had not yet arrived, but because something happened to Lin Xue, he still went back to the earth first to settle Lin Xue down, and then passed Open the door and continue leveling.

   And when he came back halfway, he had already glanced at the forum, and found that when they killed Z World Walker on their side, the game seemed to send an announcement to all online players at that time.

  【It has been detected that the city lord of the Dawn City, ‘Z World Walker’, has died, and the City of Dawn has not yet been born, and the selection process for the city lord of the City of Dawn will be restarted...】

  【The city lord selection process failed to start. 】

  【Currently, Dawn City is in an 'occupied' state, and the city owner cannot be replaced. 】

   Just three sentences, instantly blowing up the forum.

"what's the situation?"

   "Z World Walker is dead? Who killed it?"

   "What do you mean by being occupied? Dawn City was attacked by the enemy and fell?"

  …

   Players who saw this information were all at a loss. Why did the Z-world walker who had made a lot of noise before die suddenly?

   More importantly, after his death, Dawn City has not been returned to normal players as everyone expected, but has been 'occupied'...

  Ordinary players don't actually know the specific rules of Sky City's operation, so they can only guess wildly.

   At this time, many impostor voices came out.

   "To be honest, I killed Z World Walker, but I killed it too fast at that time, without leaving any evidence!"

   "Damn, is it true or not?"

   "How to kill, explain in detail!"

   "Don't listen to the nonsense upstairs, I killed the walker in the Z world, and he is on his way to receive the reward."

   "Nimma, I finally killed the z-world walker after a whole day of **** fighting, but you all jumped out one by one to grab the fruit? Do you have any more morals!"

   "Who killed it?"

   "The ones upstairs are too fake. If a master like the ghost captain Tianzi came out to claim it, it would still have some weight. Who are you?"

   "Anyway, I don't believe anyone until I see tangible evidence..."

  …

  The forum was full of quarrels, and a large number of posts emerged, all saying that the person killed himself, but in the end no one could produce evidence.

At this time, many people have actually thought of Captain Ghost, especially those who are related to him, such as Jiuyou and Lion, because Mu You just discussed with them on Thursday how to restrain Z-world walkers, and this person turned around. Being stabbed, it's hard not to make people associate it.

  Many people immediately private messaged him to inquire, but at that time Mu You had already gone back to practice leveling behind the door, so he didn't have time to read these.

  Until now, when Mu You logged into the forum, he saw a large number of red dots in the background mailbox. Jiuyou, Tianzi, Solomon and others, as well as members of the secret arts conference such as Lion and Libra, all sent him messages asking about this matter.

   Mu You did not deliberately conceal this, and frankly admitted that the death of Z World Walker was related to him.

Of course, it’s admitted that he has no idea about the rewards jointly set by those big forces. One is that he also has no evidence. Even if those big forces offered rewards for his sake, it was a gesture of goodwill. He received the reward Gold, but the loss is favor.

  Secondly, it is impossible for him to personally receive the reward. It is not worth exposing himself for such a flashy thing with little real value.

After hearing the confirmed answer, Jiuyou and other big power leaders breathed a sigh of relief. There are too many impostors in the past half a day, which makes them very confused. Now that the Great God himself admits it, they finally have a bottom line in their hearts. .

   "Great God, about the occupation of Dawn City..." Then Jiuyou asked this key question again.

   "I don't know about this either."

Mu You sighed. The unborn sky city cannot add residents, and it is also impossible to set up a deputy city lord. In theory, once a z-world walker dies, even if there are other people in the city at that time, they will be automatically excluded, and then restart the city lord selection process .

   But in fact, it failed to develop as usual, so what Mu You can think of is the old man who appeared in the outer domain.

This guy is the instigator behind Z World Walker, and Z World Walker's understanding of Sky City is likely to come from him, so most likely this person used some means to get stuck in Sky City's 'bug' and forcibly interrupted the selection program.

  So after that, Mu You revealed some information about Hongxiu Qiluo to everyone, and how to deal with her, so that no one would be attacked by her again.

  'Iron barrel play', this is a method he and Lin Xue have personally verified, and it can perfectly restrain the red sleeve's chains.

  Besides, after this failure, the opponent's weakness has been exposed, and he probably won't dare to show up again in a short time. Otherwise, once Hongxiu is caught, the position and identity of the person behind him will be exposed. Judging from the prudence and care shown by that person, it is likely that Hongxiu will not let Hongxiu show his face again.

  In short, this matter has come to an end here.

  It was already noon when we returned to the pet shop. Mu You had been busy all day, and only then did he have time to log in to the game.

  His game character is still trapped in the clockwork city, so he has to move the character out first.

   A day and a half passed, and Mu You thought about how those goblins should turn off the space shield, right?

   As a result, when he logged in to the game, the prompt that popped up was unexpected.

  【You appeared in the wilderness...】

   "?"

   Mu You was taken aback.

  He is obviously in the line under Clockwork City, why does it become a wilderness when he is online? Can the location still be moved after going offline?

   Mu You was confused, and hurriedly controlled the character to turn around.

  【You are wandering around, surrounded by a barren plain, not any place you are familiar with, and there is no one in sight...】

  【You came to the west side of the plain, and finally found a somewhat familiar acid swamp here. 】

  【A large amount of discarded alchemy garbage is piled up here. The familiar smell and the scene of garbage everywhere make you quickly confirm that this is exactly the garbage dump outside Clockwork City that you have scavenged before. In just one day, things have changed here...]

   Didn't find the Clockwork City, but found the original junkyard.

   That is to say, it's not that his online location has changed, but that Clockwork City itself has disappeared!

   "It means that the clockwork city has grown legs and can move?"

  Mu You quickly guessed a possibility.

  The group of goblins wanted to kill him at the time, but he ran away after a single operation. These goblins searched for him for a day but couldn't find him, so they probably thought he had escaped.

   And the ability of his mecha skin is too great a threat to Clockwork City. If such an enemy is let go, the goblins must be uneasy, feeling that the enemy may make a comeback at any time, so they have to flee with Clockwork City.

   When he came back to his senses, Mu You was a little speechless.

   This incident caused trouble, and he was still thinking about how to escape, but in the end, the other party was persuaded first, and he did not hesitate to move and run away overnight. But that's good too, so he won't have to struggle to fight wits and courage with the goblins.

  【During the dizziness of the teleportation, you appeared on Dawn City. 】

  Back to Dawn City, Mu You first went to find the old goblin Eugene.

   This crazy alchemist has been staying in Dawn City since he rescued him from the Temple of the Undercity.

   Mu You thought that this guy is also a master alchemist after all, wait for him to make an energy conversion device for himself, and try to ask him to stay in Sky City as a public NPC or something.

  【You took out the ancient power furnace, golden gear, robot coil*100, three mission props, and handed them to the old goblin Eugene. 】

  【Eugene was a little surprised when he saw what you took out. As an alchemist, he knew how difficult it was to collect all three things. He really didn't expect you to find them so quickly, so he asked you what happened? your choice…】

   Next let him choose whether to tell the truth, Mu You decisively chose no.

After all, the other party is still a member of the goblin clan. If you tell it that you just went to Clockwork City to make a big fuss and blow up the clock tower, scaring the goblins into running around the city overnight, it is estimated that the other party will turn their faces on the spot and directly Don't make a stove for him.

  【Eugene saw that you didn't speak, and didn't ask any more questions. After taking the props you brought back, he turned and entered the room. 】

  【The 'Ancient Energy Conversion Furnace' is being manufactured and is expected to be completed in 48 hours...】

Ancient energy conversion furnace... Judging from the name, this old goblin seems to intend to directly integrate the energy conversion device into the ancient power furnace. After the manufacture is completed, his mecha skin will be equipped with this furnace, so there is no need to add magic crystals, and the forest Put the spiritual core in, and you can get energy continuously.

  It will take two days and two nights to manufacture, so there is no rush, so Mu You clicks on the 'City Lord' option in the game.

  After a day of automatic construction, the castle has now been successfully upgraded to LV3, the population limit has increased by another 10 million, and the manufacturing authority of more buildings has been opened.

   Muyou added population as usual, upgraded four types of temples, scarecrows, training grounds, etc.

   In addition, three new buildings were built on the site.

   First and foremost: Dungeons.

   This is the information provided by the emperor at the beginning. At the bottom of the dungeon, you can find the 'truth'.

  Dawn City has been rushing all the way to the construction progress, just for this thing, and now it is finally opened.

   After Mu You chose to build, he hurriedly checked the instructions.

[Dungeon: Located at the bottom of Sky City, it was built by ancient fools, and it is a place dedicated to the clansmen to exercise their fighting ability and level. Only residents of this city can enter. It is divided into seven floors. The lower the floor, the more difficult and dangerous it is. big.

  Entering the dungeon requires a little Fool's reputation. Each person can enter up to three times a day, and each time can last up to one hour. If you are dying or timeout in the dungeon, you will be automatically sent back to the surface. 】

  【The underground of Sky City is composed of high-density gem rocks. This rock layer is hard and immune to magic, and is rich in energy. When you dig this rock layer, you have a chance to obtain various renewable gemstones. Since the gem rock layer will grow over time, if it is not mined regularly, it will continue to squeeze the space of the dungeon until all passages in the dungeon are blocked.

  Each floor of the dungeon is shaped like a large labyrinth, in which there are nests of various underground creatures. (The monster lair has been unsealed with the birth of Sky City, and there will be a steady stream of monsters. Please be sure to send someone to clean it regularly to avoid the flood of monsters in the dungeon.)]

  Dungeon, in simple terms, is a leveling dungeon for fools, not only can you spawn monsters, but you can also mine gems by the way.

The gems and monsters in this dungeon will grow automatically, and they will flood if no one brushes them for a long time, so at the beginning, players need to dig all the way down to mine and spawn monsters, clear the path of the maze, find the entrance to the second floor, and then go to the second floor Cleaning, just keep repeating this, until the seventh floor at the bottom.

   And such a huge job, of course, cannot be completed by a single player or a few players. It requires the collective efforts of the residents of the whole city to penetrate the dungeon as quickly as possible.

  In addition to the dungeon, the remaining two buildings are 'Blacksmith Shop' and 'Pharmaceutical Shop', both of which are auxiliary buildings of the dungeon.

   Among them, the blacksmith shop can turn all kinds of gemstones excavated by the player from the dungeon into upgradeable standard equipment, and the pharmacy shop is a place to automatically manufacture healing medicine and antidote to help players deal with the poisonous monsters flooding the dungeon.

  After carefully reading the descriptions of these three buildings, Mu You pondered for a moment, and then issued the city lord's announcement to the residents of Dawn City.

  The announcement mainly mentions two things.

   One is to announce the opening of the dungeon, and through exploring the dungeon, standard suits can be synthesized in the blacksmith shop. For the average player, this is one of the cheapest ways to get gear right now.

  The second is to recruit exploration teams and strategy teams from all over the city. The top ten teams with daily exploration progress will get a specific city position and announce it throughout the city.

  Publicity throughout the city is actually equivalent to a list. Everyone has the psychology of pursuing honor and showing off, especially the honor that can be seen by others.

   Once the leaderboard is released, even if there is no real reward, it will definitely stimulate players to scramble to compete for the leaderboard, thereby indirectly increasing the speed of the dungeon strategy.

  The news that Dawn City has been upgraded to level 3 was spread this morning. There are already a large number of people on the forum eagerly waiting for the latest building information. At this moment, the announcement was finally released, and it was immediately reposted and spread wildly on the forum.

   And the effect of the three new buildings also caught the eyes of countless people.

   Dungeons! A copy that can spawn monsters!

The appearance of the dungeon is of great significance, because the player does not consume action power when moving on Sky City, which means that after entering the dungeon, the player can maintain a balance between the physical consumption and the life span obtained by killing monsters, so experience points and loot It is pure profit!

  At the same time, the equipment that can be crafted in the blacksmith shop was quickly posted.

  Sky suit: A standard suit that can be equipped with up to ten parts of the body. Only fools can assemble it. Starting from the second piece, each additional piece is collected to activate a special effect of the suit.

  The special effects of these suits all correspond to the name 'sky', such as increased attack power, defense power, speed, life recovery, etc. in high-altitude combat.

   If ten pieces can be collected, the final special effect will be activated: Wings of the Sky, allowing players to directly gain the ability to spread their wings and fly!

  The equipment that can be crafted in the blacksmith shop will gradually expand with the level. Currently, the LV3 blacksmith shop can only make black iron and some common-level equipment, which is of little use to advanced players.

But it doesn’t matter, this kind of suit can be continuously made upwards, and you never have to worry about making low-level equipment now that it will be eliminated in the future. As long as you continue to collect gems in dungeons, everyone’s sky suit can be upgraded from black iron all the way to the final epic level suit!

  The announcement is good, this is indeed the most affordable way to obtain equipment for the mainstream players.

   After reading the information about the new building, the players in Dawn City couldn't wait, and immediately posted various team posts on the forum, inviting them to enter the dungeon together.

  The players in other cities can only watch helplessly, envious, waiting for the players of Dawn City to bring the latest information inside the dungeon.

  About ten minutes later, the first batch of 'Death Squads' hastily gathered in Liming City stepped into the dungeon first and began to explore.

  However, before everyone could ask what happened to them in the dungeon, after only two minutes, more than half of them were kicked out in a near-death state.

   "Damn it, it's poisonous, it's so poisonous!" This is the sigh of the first Pathfinder player who died on the forum.

   "What poison?" Someone asked in confusion.

   "The dungeon is full of poisonous gas!"

"ah?"

   "Yes, the text said that 1% of the life force will be deducted every second. Let alone mining monsters, people can't stand up at all, and they die in less than two minutes!" Other land reclamation team members confirmed his statement.

   "So scary?"

  Other people in the outer city are all at a loss. If there is such a powerful poisonous gas, then what is the meaning of this dungeon?

   Fortunately, as more and more information was sent back, the situation in the dungeon finally became clearer.

   "There is poisonous gas, but it only takes effect for players below level 10. As long as you have evolved once, you can ignore the poisonous gas!" Said a twelfth-level player.

  Evolved to ignore the poisonous gas, that is to say, there is a hard threshold to enter the dungeon, this restriction alone will directly kill 80% of the population of the whole city...

   Countless people burst into tears. Is the Daredevil Dungeon prepared for elites?

   "Wait, then why did you die?" Someone suddenly discovered this.

   "I... couldn't beat the monster, I was poisoned to death by the monster..." said the twelfth-level player just now.

   "..."

  Everyone wanted to despise it, but soon they discovered that such a situation was not uncommon.

   Players above level ten are immune to poisonous gas, but most of them didn't last long. After about a quarter of an hour, more players were kicked out one after another.

   "Damn it, the monsters on the first floor are so hard to deal with, I was bitten to death after only picking one gem!"

   "Isn't this too difficult? I can't beat it at all!"

  …

  The dead players all complained about the high difficulty of the dungeon.

  The other onlookers were also surprised. Generally speaking, isn’t the first level given for nothing? Why is the first floor here so hard to beat?
