Libra translated the message, then exchanged a glance with Capricorn before saying apologetically to Mu You, "We would have gone too, but we just used our door last week, and it’s still cooling down... Of course, we can still help in the game."
"Ah, I can help in the game as well..." Aquarius raised her hand and spoke softly from the side.
Cancer and Sagittarius then expressed their intention to follow the trend.
"Alright, anyone who is available can come, let’s meet in Dawn City tomorrow morning," Mu You said decisively once everyone offered to help. Direct on-site assistance would certainly be more convenient than remote support via the Reaper’s Pact, and it could even help save some lifespan.
"Excellent! Excellent! This is the first time our association is fighting side by side!" said Lion excitedly.
"Didn’t we do the same last time when we were pushing the tower?" Sagittarius reminded him.
"There were too many people then, we didn’t really see each other’s face, so it doesn’t count," Lion said, waving his hands dismissively. The last time was a nationwide collective mobilization, and they were just insignificant parts of it. This time, however, it’s solely the Secret Technique Association coming together offline for the first time.
After a bit of small talk, this week’s meeting ended in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
At one in the morning, Mu You left the meeting, returned home, and logged back into the game.
[You have appeared in Dawn City.]
[Dawn City has been upgraded to LV4, the population limit has increased to 50 million, and you have unlocked the construction rights of various buildings...]
After a period of material accumulation, Dawn City had finally leveled up again.
News of the Castle’s construction had reached the residents of Dawn City the previous day. Now they were eagerly anticipating the new buildings that came with the upgrade.
Mu You didn’t delay either; he immediately replenished the city’s population and quickly started the upgrade of the four temples, the training fields, the Scarecrow, and other buildings.
And then came the new buildings.
Mu You had only sent plans of Sky City’s buildings up to level three to the experts. The final plan they provided was also only for the level three path.
The rest of the information about the buildings, Mu You didn’t disclose because after a city surpasses level three, it no longer needs help from outsiders.
For all Sky Cities, a level four central city is a significant milestone, marking the official entry into the mid-stage of Sky City’s construction.
At the same time, a level four central city will unlock a new kind of building that is extremely important to the entire race: Statues of Gods!
[Statue of the Gods: A giant statue built by the followers of a god to express their faith. After the statue is constructed, the residents of the city can choose to believe in the deity and receive the blessings of the deity, activating the ’hidden experience bar.’
Whenever a level bottleneck is reached, the subsequent overflow of experience can be stored in the hidden experience bar. When the hidden experience exceeds ten times your current experience, you can offer all the extra experience to the deity to exchange them for ’real experience,’ which can help you break through the bottleneck and complete the evolution.
Note: Once chosen, beliefs cannot be changed for life, and beings with existing faiths cannot believe in other deities.]
[Dawn City can build an Order God Statue, do you want to build it right now?]
Statues of Gods, in essence, are structures that help clan members bypass the need for Evolution Elixirs and directly break through bottlenecks. The cost, however, is ’ten times the experience!’
At first glance, ten times the experience doesn’t seem like much, but it’s only insignificant for lower levels.
For example, at level ten, the experience bar is at 2560, so ten times is 25600, not much indeed.
At level fifteen, however, the experience bar increases to 81920, and ten times becomes 810,000+, this number is quite absurd, but ultimately, it is still possible to achieve through hard work.
By level twenty, the experience bar becomes 2.62 million, and ten times skyrockets to 26.2 million!
This figure was so daunting that even Mu You, who enjoyed the conveniences of being a City Lord, felt like fainting at the sight of it.
And at level twenty-five, we don’t even need to discuss that. Ten times the experience bar equals a whopping 800 million+, which is essentially an impossible mission. Mind you, if someone managed to grind out that much experience, wouldn’t they easily be able to find a few Evolution Elixirs?
However, ’real experience’ can only be used to break through bottlenecks below level 20, so there’s no need to worry about this part. Yet this feature can still be seen as a divine gadget for countless low-ranking residents. Its appeal is evident in the reaction of ordinary players when they brushed against the Shadow God.
Each of the big clans such as the Elf Clan, Dwarf Race, and even the Goblins, etc., have their own deities which they believe in, and this is the primary method of evolution for the lower class members of these races.
In contrast, the human nations of the Star Spirit World couldn’t rely on this method to evolve because they lack a unified collective belief.
However, due to the prevalence of Magic Potions Study, Humans can directly mass-produce Evolution Elixirs, hence, they don’t need such a painstaking method. However, the formula for the Evolution Elixirs was eventually monopolized by the Wizard Association, which led to stagnation in the overall level-up process the Human Race.
[Auto-build for Order God Statue is in progress, estimated completion in one hour...]
The buildings unlocked at each level of the City Lord’s Castle are unknown to ordinary people, and none of the City Lords have released any information about it either. Currently, on the forum, there are a bunch of curious gamers eagerly waiting to see Dawn City’s new buildings.
As Mu You clicked on ’build,’ all the residents of Dawn City immediately received a game notification.
