;;;;Seeing the mercenaries fleeing, the players naturally disagreed and left the ancient city to pursue them.
;;;;Come here to make a big fuss, then leave with a pat on the back. How can such a good thing in the world be possible?
;;;;According to the players' ideas, all these mercenaries must be left behind to compensate for the losses caused by the battle.
;;;;Whether it is heads or equipment, they are resources that players urgently need nowadays.
;;;;If it can be obtained, the savages will replace their shotguns with cannons, and their combat effectiveness will increase by several levels.
;;;;The mercenaries will definitely not agree. If you want to recover the compensation, the players have to do it themselves.
;;;;A jungle chase also started at this moment.
;;;;Compared to the beginning, the players have grown up, and at least one-third can persist until the end of the battle.
;;;;Their results will be retained, they will have stronger strength, and they will be able to pose a greater threat to the enemy.
;;;;The higher the level, the stronger the strength. As long as you stay steady and survive the initial novice period, you will basically be crushed in the later stages.
;;;;Of course, it depends on the situation. If you are bombarded by enemy heavy artillery, or encounter other fatal injuries, you still have to passively choose to delete your account and start over.
;;;;Players are not stupid, they will definitely try to be careful. There are actually very few guys like ham players.
;;;;Tang Zhen had nothing to do and wanted to continue to observe the melee boss, but found that he was in a coma and captured.
;;;;The same is true for Master Lei Yun, and he doesn’t know what happened to the two of them.
;;;;If it falls into the hands of the enemy, it is very likely to be disastrous, and you may die and start over again in the next second.
;;;;Tang Zhen wasn't worried, and didn't pay much attention to it, just letting the players continue to mess around.
;;;;In the end, it’s just a game. Players just need to be happy. There’s no need to bear too much psychological burden.
;;;;The easy victory in the first battle may also be related to the mentality of the players. From the beginning, they had no intention of losing.
;;;;The guard battle ended successfully and the pursuit battle officially began. A prompt popped up in front of Tang Zhen's eyes.
;;;;The stronghold guarding is successful and new permissions are opened.
;;;;The new permissions opened include an increase in the player limit, from the original one hundred to one thousand.
;;;;There is also a map function, which allows you to understand various situations in the control area, and the resources you have are also clear at a glance.
;;;;A map like this is equivalent to the Eye of God, it is simply not the least bit better.
;;;;For example, at this moment, if there is an enemy hidden within the control range, Tang Zhen can spot it at a glance.
;;;;No matter how well you hide it, or hide in a cave, it is of no use at all.
;;;; Simply display it directly, making Tang Zhen nod secretly, this function is indeed very useful.
;;;;Tang Zhen issued an order to distribute a thousand game quotas again, and they were still randomly selected.
;;;;Since we want fairness and justice, we must start from ourselves.
;;;;According to time estimates, these newcomers will gradually enter the game in another hour at most.
;;;;This ancient city will become even more lively by then.
;;;;Temporarily exiting the game, Tang Zhen checked the work progress and found that the collection of metal materials from the underground sinkhole had been completed.
;;;;The residents of Loucheng returned one after another, waiting for Tang Zhen to issue new orders.
;;;;"Return to Loucheng."
;;;;Tang Zhen had been exploring until now, but failed to obtain any useful clues, proving that finding the Tumu Spiritual Pearl was extremely difficult.
;;;;It is very likely that he is hiding to resist Lou Cheng's search.
;;;;Rather than searching blindly and wasting precious time, it is better to go back to Loucheng and wait for the opportunity.
;;;;Maybe when the time comes, the Tumu Spiritual Pearl will appear automatically.
;;;;Tang Zhen did not give up searching, but changed his search mode and no longer focused all his energy on one thing.
;;;;In today’s Loucheng, there is actually still a lot to do.
;;;;After flying for nearly a day, the team returned to Loucheng and saw a lively scene from a distance.
;;;;The transport airship, which had been dormant for some time, was now used again and was busy from morning to night.
;;;;The sky above the city is covered with buildings, rising and falling continuously, which looks quite orderly.
;;;;The residents on the ground floor are also busy.
;;;;All kinds of materials were continuously brought back by transport airships, and then stored after being processed.
;;;;In order to facilitate the storage of materials, Tang Zhen specially opened underground warehouses, with the deepest point reaching several thousand meters underground.
;;;;With such an abnormal depth, there are strict requirements for lifting equipment. Loucheng cannot produce it, so Tang Zhen purchased it from the cornerstone platform.
;;;;A very strange thing, like a soft balloon, dragging the elevator up and down continuously.
;;;;Although Loucheng is huge, it is still just a city with a population of less than one million.
;;;;Although there will be daily consumption, there will still be more left after all.
;;;;The various materials accumulated are equivalent to accumulated wealth, which can not only be used by oneself, but also mainly sold for money.
;;;;Carrying an umbrella when the weather is sunny, carrying dry food when full, and thinking sometimes and not thinking at all is the proper way to run a household.
;;;;Tang Zhen returned to Loucheng, checked the recent accounts, and showed a hint of joy.
;;;;You have food in your pocket and don’t panic. Looking at the current reserves in Loucheng, there will be no problem if you persist for a hundred years.
;;;;The money saved can definitely do more things.
;;;;Tang Zhen will not be satisfied with this. He feels that he can get more. Especially when the lower realm is about to face a catastrophe, he needs to be fully prepared.
;;;;If things develop beyond the expected plan, Tang Zhen will also have ways to deal with it.
;;;; Tang Zhen doesn’t know what the future will bring, he just tries his best to prepare.
;;;;Concerning the catastrophe, Tang Zhen did not tell other Loucheng residents to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
;;;;Not everything needs to be known to everyone. If it is beyond the other person's understanding and ability, it will only increase troubles.
;;;;After reading the recent income and expenditure, Tang Zhen opened the suggestion list again.
;;;;The so-called suggestion list is provided by Loucheng residents, who can put forward various suggestions and requirements based on the actual situation.
;;;;As the city lord, Tang Zhen will review and reply.
;;;;Compared with the mortal management system, Lou Cheng is undoubtedly more efficient, mainly because Tang Zhen has sole control.
;;;;Whenever you want to do something, there is no resistance at all.
;;;;If Loucheng residents are dissatisfied, they can also make requests and suggestions. Tang Zhen has the final say on whether to make changes.
;;;;Tang Zhen is not very powerful, nor is he particularly stubborn, and he can listen to various suggestions.
;;;;Having such a city lord is naturally a blessing to the residents.
;;;;However, it turns out that Loucheng residents did not have many suggestions, and most of the suggestions they made were not expressions of dissatisfaction.
;;;;Sufficiently high loyalty and overflowing happiness, once these two points are met, will definitely lead to real peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
;;;;When faced with external threats, residents will actively unite to protect and defend their own dignity and happiness.
;;;;As the residents of Loucheng grow and become stronger and stronger, the advantages of this model will become more and more obvious.
;;;;Read all the suggestions, select the ones that can be adopted, and send them to Lou Ling for implementation.
;;;;Tang Zhen will also respond to suggestions that are not adopted, so that enthusiastic people will not be left out in the cold.
;;;;If we want to develop healthily, enthusiastic people are indispensable. If they are collectively discouraged, such a system may not last long.
;;;;Despite Tang Zhen's idle look, in fact he was very dedicated to managing the city and would never allow such a miraculous city to collapse and disband because of his own mistakes.
;;;;After handling all the matters, Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to rest, but started walking around inside the building.
;;;;This is also his habit, and he will patrol the interior of the building regularly.
;;;;When the city lord gets used to being aloof, it becomes very dangerous, because he cannot see the situation below, and all he sees in front of him is what he wants to see.
;;;;If someone wants to deceive, they can deliberately arrange the scenery so that the beings from above can look down.
;;;;The scenery is naturally extremely beautiful, which makes the superiors feel satisfied and think that everything is within their expectations and control.
;;;;But if you go down in person, you will find that it is just a piece of paper, and it will tear and break if you poke it lightly.
;;;;The real scene under the picture may be shocking.
