The monster siege is gradually coming to an end. Although the invading monsters are powerful individually, they are ultimately outnumbered.
With the joint efforts of the players who backed the resurrection point, the battle to defend the city was finally won.
This means that the construction of the city is about to be completely completed.
Although the price paid is heavy, the soul energy gained by most defenders after killing monsters is not even comparable to the loss of soul energy dropped by death, but at this moment, all players are not thinking about soul energy.
A city!
A city that belongs to players!
According to the current progress, it will be completely completed in another day. By then, it will become clear which three groups can obtain the final qualification to compete for the city master.
Yes, so far, no one knows what level their personal contribution is compared to others.
The most annoying and exciting thing about this game is this.
Whenever it comes to the calculation of the personal contribution values of multiple players in the same task, players will inevitably fall into an endless involution.
Because there is no ranking list visible to all members.
No one knows who is first and who is second.
How many points do you have, how many points do others have, and what level do you have compared to others... I don’t know!
Do you want to ask them one by one and make statistics?
Unrealistic!
Let alone whether people tell the truth, even if everyone tells the truth, relying on the statistics of such a small number of players for such points that change all the time is useless and has no reference significance at all.
Even the true number one may not even know that he is number one.
In this case, the players in the puzzle can only do one thing - do their best and obey fate.
Roll! Roll it with all your strength.
If you can't do more than what you can do, if you can't compete with others, then there's nothing to say.
Many people briefly relaxed in the middle of the task because they felt a little bored. Now it is the eve of settlement again. They realize that the city is really about to be completed, and the final opportunity to grab the progress is right in front of them. Countless people are throwing off their arms and working non-stop all night long.
Start drying.
Forget about those salty fish or loose alliances.
Especially those professional player alliances that are determined to compete for the position of city lord and are ambitious to build floating cities in the future to conquer the entire multiverse. They are all trying their best to have a big fight.
This is the first player-owned city fief in the game!
Some rich people even took out real-world cash bonuses.
An alliance can accommodate up to two hundred people, and the points are settled based on the total points of all members. Every alliance that aspires to be the city leader will naturally be full of people.
And those rich people also announced that if the alliance that has won one of the three preparatory qualifications is willing to be acquired, each member will be given 500,000 in cash!
The ability to make money can be used at any time. Where there are people, there may not be a world, but the ability to make money must be there.
The rich don't have to work hard themselves, but as long as they work hard enough, they can work for the rich.
Buying one is also buying, buying three is also buying.
As long as they are willing to sell, and all three city master qualification alliances are controlled by one person, there will be no suspense about who will win in the subsequent battle for city master.
After all, the position of the city lord is not lifelong. In the future, the real city lord will be re-elected within the specified time through competition among the three qualification alliances on a regular basis.
Therefore, collecting the three qualifications together is the most permanent solution.
The purchase price promised by those local tycoons also intensified the crazy enthusiasm of the players to some extent.
For individual players, for a city construction project that only lasts a few days, they can expect to get 500,000 in cash, which is much more than what they can earn from real projects.
Therefore, the player alliance composed of some like-minded individual players is also eyeing the three qualifications.
On the eve of this revelation, the construction progress of the entire human city was advancing at an incredible speed.
Not only is the game in-game, but the forums are also filled with all kinds of exciting discussions.
"What's your score? I only have 200 points, so the city lord must have nothing to do with me."
"200 points? Go home and sleep. Even eating shit can't keep up with the heat."
"What a shame! No one really believes that he scored 200 points, right? The dogs from the Star Alliance are just trying to make everyone relax. I will believe him even if he says he has 2,000 points. The guy from the Stars Alliance works overtime every day and is not afraid of sudden death!"
"Let me tell you a little tidbit. The current siege is just the beginning. There will be a big battle waiting for us in the future! It's even more lively in the Underdark!"
"Madou was resurrected three times today in order to prevent those monsters from attacking the city. What a big loss!"
"Then why are you working so hard? If your condition is not good, just retreat."
"I was so excited that I forgot..."
There are discussions about everything.
The final monster siege takes place shortly after.
The surprise attack on Octopus Head that only a few people know about.
The qualifications for the city owner of the first human city that is about to come to an end.
And a few people are worried about their chaotic position. After all, he is not the only one who was tadpoled by the illithids, and he is not the only one who has been saved by other players.
"I have more than a thousand points. What if my points are not included in the settlement due to my position?"
"Hey! Stop talking, I still have 1900 points! Just because I was forcibly converted to the illithid camp just because I knew my position, our alliance kicked me out! Damn it!"
"But aren't our people back now? I just don't know if it still counts..."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I am the city lord or not. Just don't lose my personal rewards. I have already figured out which skills to redeem!"
"We are also thinking about everyone..."
"Fart! You guys are just cheap. The mission did not allow us to explore the Dark Territory in advance. Bobby only asked us to build a city for defense, so that must have been his intention. If you waste money on your own, no one can blame you for the loss."
"But the punishment from this camp is too outrageous. Now I am considered a bitch in the city, and NPCs ignore me. I even want to delete my account and practice again."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I don't dare to do it anymore, Poppy loves me again!"
…
Li Wen recalled the battle records he saw from players who were "outrageous" and waited for death.
The Voices section provides a lot of useful information.

…
Li Wen, who was in his room, quietly browsed through the six newly acquired knowledge points in his mind.
The detailed understanding of the three races expanded Li Wen's knowledge and allowed him to learn about the love and hatred between some illithids and his opponents.
The Gith are the mortal enemies of the illithids.
From the hatred and fear of the illithid towards the Gith, Li Wen learned one thing——
Even though the illithids in the past might have been the overlords across the multiverse that the serpent people considered them to be, now they are just some poor bastards hiding from the Gith.
After enslaving a race called Gith for thousands of years, the Gith rebelled against their masters.
The specific situation of this illithid itself is not very clear. It is not known whether it is because the Gith have been affected by the illithids' psychic control for a long time and thus gained resistance, or because the illithids themselves have fallen into some unexplainable situation.
In decline.
Anyway, it only took an incredible year for the entire huge illithid empire to quickly fall apart, and the various fleeing illithid groups were forever in fear of being hunted by the Gith across planes.
Through the voices of the illithids, Li Wen saw their unspeakable complex mentality of fear and resentment, as well as their constant obsession with restoring the glory of the empire.
To a certain extent...why do you seem to have the same problem as those snake people?
Then there are the duergar and drow.
These two races also exist on the Gaia continent. They are subraces of dwarves and elves, but they belong to the evil camp branch. They are in the underground world of the Gaia continent and generally do not show up.
But I didn't expect that in the dark region of this foreign continent, there are also these two subspecies of dwarves and elves.
I just don’t know if the local dwarves and elves know that they still have such relatives living in the Underdark.
You know, you know, these insider tips are quite interesting, but they are of little use in the current situation.
More useful are the other three knowledge points.
Before getting the voice of the illithid, Li Wen was really at a loss as to what it was thinking about and had no idea.
One is the complete use of psychic powers, and the other is how to truly rescue the creatures implanted in tadpoles by the illithids.
In the village on Gaia that was controlled by the illithids and later rescued by Qin, many villagers are still in a frozen state of sleep.
There is no way, Qin's spiritual energy diffusion can only temporarily suppress the development of "tadpoles" in them like the Demon Heart Mine Armor, but it is difficult to completely eradicate those so-called "tadpoles".
Unlike the snake eggs of the snake people, they couldn't even find any trace of the "tadpoles".
Before knowing the concept of "tadpoles", even Qin and Helen were puzzled as to why they could not escape control even after the illithid master escaped or died.
Li Wen didn't understand it at first, but now he completely understands it.
"Oh~ So that's what it looks like."
If the other two knowledge points require Li Wen to study and study for a period of time before he can master them, the anti-transformation ritual does not require it at all.
Just like all ritual spells, the ritual was too complicated, so everyone just memorized it and recorded it in a certain fixed way.
Rigid and unaware of flexibility.
Personal understanding?
No! It doesn’t exist.
Just follow the steps and you'll be done.
Therefore, there is no so-called learning. You just need to browse through it briefly to have an idea in mind, and then find the corresponding magic materials you need. With certain magical attainments, you can charge the required places in time during the ceremony and control the caster.
They can completely complete a ritual no matter how complicated it is.
Therefore, let’s first try the waters with players who are so outrageous that they have “tadpoles” planted in their bodies.
Thinking of this, Li Wen directly asked Aletta to help prepare the magic materials related to the ceremony, and at the same time asked the elf manager of the human city to release the news, saying that he could return those players who had "tadpoles" planted in their bodies to their normal camp identities.
…
The next day, there were no serious days and nights on the Lunar Moon Continent anyway. After taking a short rest, Li Wen went directly to the central square of the Human City.
Those players from the Chaos camp who had been notified were waiting here early.
After being rescued, they found that they were worse off... I can't say that they were worse off, but they just regretted it.
I regret why I went into the Underdark.
Why did he get caught by those octopus heads and not commit suicide in time?
As a result, no one is welcome anywhere now.
There is naturally nothing to say about Octopus Head. Except for some people with unique XP systems, no one would like to stay there.
But what about the human city?
It seems that the aborigines can feel the chaotic atmosphere on them, and the level of favorability during interaction starts with indifference.
I couldn't take the tasks I was supposed to take, and the elf sister I was supposed to flirt with ignored me.
After being rescued, they were unable to move forward, and even had the idea of deleting their accounts and practicing again.
And it was at this moment that a beam of light... shone into their world.
Poppy!YYDS!
When they saw Li Wen coming, they suddenly exclaimed with suppressed excitement.
Li Wen took a quick glance at the small group of waiting players, but didn't see the player who impressed him deeply - that was outrageous.
What about others?
After hesitating for a moment, Li Wen sent him a text message.
"I'll perform a ritual for everyone to switch their camps back, what about you?"
No reply...
Players really don't like functional spells like SMS, and the arcane knight's spell slots are even more limited.
Li Wen decided to give him a little time.
…
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Li Wen saw the figure of the other party rushing towards him.
"Sir, I will not perform this ceremony."
He just stood under the stone platform, raised his head and said to Li Wen with a smile.
"Um?"
He hesitated for a moment and explained: "Keeping the tadpole, I still have a chance to obtain the profession of psion... I want to give it a try."
He knew that there was a wider world deep in the Underdark, and his murloc priest sister was still waiting for him in the deep sea.
Good men roam everywhere.
"..."
very good.
Very honest.
It is also in line with the players’ bold ideas.
I'm afraid it's not just him, there are other players in similar situations who think the same way, but they just don't know them because they don't have the impression.
OK! Everyone has his or her own ambitions.
Li Wen didn't care what the choice of one or two players was.
"Okay, be careful."
"Hello, Lord Lepope!"
It was so ridiculous that he had a smile on his face.
You know that Master Bobby is no ordinary coquettish bitch. Not only did he not reprimand him for this somewhat unconventional-sounding decision, but he even encouraged him.
Poppy! Always awesome!
I will never cooperate with those forces who want to cause trouble for Poppy again!
