With everything in place to move up a grade, all that’s left now is to attend a test after finishing this week’s magic classes.
At the academy, he found Damian and gave him the much sought-after noble recommendation letter, submitting all four letters to the academy on his behalf.
The rest is out of his hands; he just has to wait for the academy’s notification.
In the meantime, Mu You was busy attending classes in the game and running his business in reality.
After being closed for three days consecutively, the influx of customers at today’s reopening was overwhelming.
The three of them were juggling between servicing customers indoors and outdoors, and could only catch a breath in the afternoon.
At six in the evening, their shop’s closing time, the three of them were busy seeing the last batch of customers out when a surprised chorus of voices came from outside. Even many inside the shop echoed the surprise, simultaneously pulling out their phones and began tapping urgently.
Mu You hurriedly asked one of the customers.
"Dawn City just activated! If you’re not part of any city yet, now’s the time to sign up!" The customer said excitedly, revealing himself as a city-less player.
Mu You quickly took out his phone and checked. Sure enough, a message popped up as soon as he opened the game.
[The City of Dawn has been successfully activated, first City Lord: z World Walker.]
Mu You wasn’t surprised by Dawn City’s activation, but the identity of the City Lord did make him wonder: z World Walker? He didn’t recognize this ID...
Mu You opened the forum and searched ’z World Walker,’ but found no results related to this ID or any discussion threads about it.
If the forum didn’t have the ID, it meant that ’z World Walker’ was not an Avatar Card ID. Avatar cards would forcefully create a forum ID with the same name.
Mu You went back to the forum’s homepage and sure enough, the ’z World Walker’ was indeed the hot topic of discussion. But no one seemed to know who this player was.
To become a City Lord, one has to be more than an average player. Names like Ghost Captain, Son of Heaven, or renowned power leaders like Solomon are expected to surface. Surprise aside, no one would question their credibility.
But who in the world is z World Walker? Not one offered a name recognition!
What’s more, there wasn’t anyone with fragments of Dawn City stepping forward to make a claim.
It was as if no one was fighting for Dawn City from the beginning and it was randomly picked up by this person who just stumbled upon it...
Mu You could guess what netizens on the forum were thinking, but he had different thoughts.
Having participated in the competition for Sky City himself, he knew that winning the City Lord rights was not something you would stumble upon.
This ’z World Walker,’ who appears overly low-profile, might be a lot more powerful than he seemed.
To keep all competitors quiet would either mean bribing them, or... defeating all of them...
Mu You shook his head. Regardless, now that a new City Lord has appeared, he needs to introduce himself as it concerns the altitude of Sky City.
Mu You, playing as the Ghost Captain in the game, sent a friend request to ’z World Walker’.
But, to his surprise, just ten minutes later, he received a reply from the game.
[’z World Walker’ has declined your friend request.]
Mu You was taken aback. He had never been rejected before when adding friends.
Normally, unknown IDs adding as friends would be ignored, right?
If people singled him out to reject, it means they had seen his request and recognized his ID but still deliberately rejected him. This was getting interesting.
Just then, a friend message came in on the forum.
"Big guy, what’s the deal with this ’z World Walker’? I tried to add him as a friend and he rejected it. I noticed his ID is in Chinese, do you recognize this guy?" Solomon left a message.
"I don’t know him, I was also rejected..." Mu You replied.
"Uh..." Solomon sent an incredulous emoji. He thought that ’z World Walker’ perhaps didn’t like people like him who like to litter money. But now that even Mu You was rejected, he knew it wasn’t personal.
"There’s also another weird thing." Mu You messaged again.
"Dawn City... It hasn’t emerged." Mu You said.
Solomon was stunned. He hurriedly checked his game records and know it was the truth!
There were only activation records of the City of Dawn in the game, no emergence records.
Ordinary people who haven’t seen an emerging Sky City may not realize this, but as City Lords, they are fully aware that immediately after a Sky City becomes activated, the City Lord would have the opportunity to decide whether or not to emerge.
Under normal circumstances, the City Lord would choose to emerge. Otherwise, his Sky City would remain hidden in the mirror space it initially occupied. While this might protect it from potential hostility, it also means it would be unable to add residents, hence unable to develop the city.
Even more importantly, while the Sky City hasn’t emerged, functions like ’City Lord Evaluation’ and ’Referendum’ won’t function. This means that unless the City Lord dies suddenly, no one else can take his place, effectively rendering the city invisible.
