"Build Clockwork City... just the two of us?" The goblin looked at Eugene with a weird expression, unsure what to say about such a fanciful idea.
"What’s wrong with two people?" Eugene glared, "Originally, the Ancestor of the goblin race, alone with his own two hands, built the entire Clockwork City! Now, we are going to replicate its miracle... no, I should say, we are going to surpass his miracle!"
"Yes," Eugene continued, "The reason Clockwork City couldn’t expand further was due to energy limitations. Despite having the world’s most powerful Power Furnace, it was constrained by energy, limiting the power output, so it could only grow so large."
"But now, we have mastered an almost inexhaustible energy source. If we use it well, we have the full capacity to create an Alchemy City bigger and more splendid than Clockwork City!"
After finishing, Eugene looked at the goblin again, "So, are you in or not?"
At this moment, the goblin was still immersed in Eugene’s description.
"A city bigger and more splendid than Clockwork City..."
The goblin murmured, its heart, which had gradually become desperate and disillusioned due to imprisonment, unexpectedly began to boil with excitement.
Even if this task couldn’t be completed in the end, it could at least learn various techniques from an Alchemy Master.
And if it really were built, that would be even more incredible! The new Clockwork City would surely attract goblins from all over to come and re-form a new Goblin Tribe, and by then, as one of the greatest contributors to the city’s construction, it would undoubtedly become the second in command within the tribe!
This venture seemed to have no drawbacks!
"Let’s do it!" The goblin excitedly waved his fist, making a decision.
"Good, since you’ve decided, let’s not be lazy. Time is precious, let’s get started right away," Eugene nodded.
"Master, what do I need to do? Just tell me!" The goblin was as if injected with adrenaline.
"First, go mining, then build a mining robot. That’s the foundation for everything!" Eugene said as he already began directing the goblin to hustle around with a pickaxe.
Mu You watched the two get busy and was very pleased.
Very well, sweat to your heart’s content, then contribute to the City of Eternal Night!
At the same time, he was already considering when to bring over the Eternal Power Furnace from the goblins’ side.
If the Power Furnace was akin to an engine, then the energy was the fuel needed for the engine to operate. Now that they had the Forest Spirit Core, the ultimate type of fuel, the engine itself was somewhat lacking.
With only an Ancient Power Furnace, even if its power was maximized, it likely couldn’t support the normal functioning of such a large city. It still depended on something like the Eternal Power Furnace that could provide nearly infinite power.
Unfortunately, the goblins were smart enough to leave just in time, and it was not easy to find them shortly.
Mu You shook his head, for now, he could only rely on this one Ancient Power Furnace at both ends.
It would power Eugene’s factory on a regular basis, and when he needed to fight in his Mechanical Armor Skin, he would let the factory stop working until the fight was over and then continue.
After a busy session, the day had gradually brightened.
Mu You, along with Lin Xue and others, managed to return to the pet shop before closing time.
As soon as she returned home, the young girl couldn’t wait to play with Cola using her new gear.
However, Cola, stimulated by the strong ’strange cat’ scent on the young girl, had its fur explode but was unable to resist due to Shadow Ghost’s intimidation and could only be chased around the house by the girl.
Mu You didn’t bother with them. After closing the door tightly, he took out several phones, turned them on one by one, then opened the forum.
As expected, there were 99+ private messages in the forum’s inbox.
Mu You opened the private messages and quickly skimmed through them. They were mostly inquiring about the City of Eternal Night.
Mu You marked all as read. In the sea of red notifications, he switched to one of the IDs.
[Son of Heaven: How’s it going? The secret chamber below the Underground City should be accessible now, right?]
This question had actually been asked a few days ago when level seven of the Underground City was just cleared, and Mu You had informed him that activation of all twelve cities was required.
The current message was sent seconds after the birth of the City of Eternal Night. It seemed the Son of Heaven had been eager for a while; as soon as the City of Eternal Night appeared, he couldn’t wait to come asking.
[Ghost Captain: Yes.]Mu You replied to him.
[Son of Heaven: So... what’s inside?]
[Ghost Captain: About that question, let’s discuss it in a group chat.]
This message wasn’t particularly secretive. Once other cities’ underground dungeons were opened, it was bound to be known sooner or later.
As Son of Heaven said, the secret beneath Sky City was extremely important for all mankind. Whether it should be made public was not the point for now, but at least the City Lords should be informed promptly to adjust future construction strategies.
Mu You casually created a group channel named ’Sky City City Lords’ Group’ and invited the other ten city lords one by one.
