Chapter 9 Dialogue Channel

It’s called a cookie, but it looks like a small cake and doesn’t look like a cookie at all.

"You haven't eaten this either?" Shen Jufeng asked her.

"Well... I've eaten one, and it tastes really good. You can try it."

This is really luxurious. It would be a waste for him to eat this when he is already full of energy and health. However, it indirectly shows that Lu Jiu's storage capacity of this cookie is not low.

Seeing that he hadn't eaten, Lu Jiu thought he was reluctant to eat. "Don't worry, eat it. You've seen the information about the colorful cookies. I can still afford this one."

Since the rich woman was so generous, he didn't hesitate.

As someone who once ran a company, he never expected that one day he would feel like being kept by a rich woman.

The colorful cookies are very small and can be eaten in one bite. They taste really delicious, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t experience the process of replenishing 20 points of qi and blood in one breath.

Before he could finish savoring it, Lu Jiu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then took out a token and showed it to him.

"This is a city-building order. Using it will give you a city-state. I'm afraid to survive better in the game, you must live in a city-state."

She stayed in the wild all day long, and who knew if there would be more and more wild monsters. There were no items to replenish qi and blood in the mall. She couldn't keep taking out items to replenish qi and blood like this. Having a safe place to stay was the best thing.

"Was this not for sale originally?" Shen Jufeng asked.

"No, you can buy it with money. It's originally used to establish a guild in the game."

Shen Jufeng thought, this little girl is quite patient. She saw so many city-states on the road but didn't say anything. She also asked him a lot of questions about city-state management. She must be testing him.

He returned the token to Lu Jiu, "Then use it. With a city-state, others can also come in. We've seen quite a few city-states along the way. Right now, the world is still gamified, so there may be competition for resources in the future. It's better to establish one sooner rather than later."

Lu Jiu looked at the surrounding wilderness and it seemed not a good idea to just randomly find a place to build.

"Then find a good piece of land and use it. Otherwise, it's no good if there's nothing nearby."

She thought that once the city-state was established, it could not be moved, so it would be better to find a place with beautiful scenery.

"Okay."

The two of them got up and set off, during which time they were still studying the email and the box that allowed them to speak.

Shen Jufeng's mind moved and the words he wanted to say appeared in the box, but when he clicked send, it showed that there was no speaker and the sending failed.

"What is a speaker?" he asked the gaming tycoon next to him.

"It's used for speaking in the hall so people in other channels can see it."

It seems that if a loudspeaker is used, the words sent out in this frame can be heard by people who are far away from them.

In order to help him understand the function of the loudspeaker more directly, Lu Jiu sent him various loudspeakers directly via email.

Now you can add friends, and there is even a friend list. There is only one Shen Jufeng in Lu Jiu's list. Although things can be delivered face to face, if there is a distance, things still need to be delivered by mail.

There are several types of speakers, and different types have different functions.

【Small speaker: can be used in the same city dialog box.】

[Super Speaker: Can be used in the same province dialog box, and the font is bright purple and more conspicuous. ]

【Loudspeaker: Can be used in national dialogue boxes.】

[Romantic Speaker: Can be used in dialog boxes across the country, with a special flower-style border that makes it more eye-catching.]

【Shining Horn: Can be used in global dialog boxes.】

[Brilliant Light Years Speaker: Can be used in global dialog boxes, with a dark blue border effect that makes it more conspicuous.]

[Morning Light Speaker: Can be used in global dialog boxes, with a light yellow border effect that makes it more conspicuous.]

Shen Jufeng was studying it, and Lu Jiu saw that someone had already spoken using a super small loudspeaker.

[Pan Ning]: Are there any smart players?

Lingdong is the name of the game that Lu Jiu played, and someone responded quickly.

[Wang Lingbai]: Yes, yes, yes. What the hell happened? I almost died. Luckily, everything in my backpack is still there!

[Xu Danyi]: It turns out that I wasn’t the only one whose gaming backpack had all the items found its way here. Luckily, I had food in my backpack, otherwise I would have really died.

More and more players began to complain about their experiences these days. Some used small loudspeakers, and some used super small loudspeakers. The channels were different and the font colors were also different, making it easy to distinguish them.

Shen Jufeng also saw these conversations, but judging from the names, there seemed to be more female players and very few male players. Occasionally, a few male names would be seen.

"It seems that we will be able to communicate soon, and maybe we can see some useful information." Lu Jiu was also looking forward to seeing if there were any city-states that had been established and sharing relevant information.

Soon this kind of news appeared. Someone had established a city-state, but it was only said that the area was very large and nothing else was introduced. It took a long time before I saw any useful information.

[Ruan Fanyao]: I saw the friends in front of me said that they have established a city-state. I must remind you here that you must establish it in a place with abundant agricultural products. Don’t establish it in a place with nothing but grass and trees!

Ruan Fanyao: Continuing from the above, once a city-state is established, others can enter. Becoming a permanent resident requires a certain amount of contribution points, which you don't have the luxury of paying daily, like renting a house. Once a city-state is established, there will generally be no monster attacks, unless a beast siege is underway. So don't give up on strengthening your city-state just because you're in it! City-states can be breached!

[Wan Rou]: This sister is right, and the resources required for contribution points are not sold in the mall. I guess resources can only be randomly dropped by killing monsters, and paying money every day to live in the city-state is also an incentive for everyone to become stronger.

[Ruan Fanyao]: That's right, the wild monsters we encounter are getting stronger and stronger. If you don't become stronger, you will be eliminated one day. And those of you who bring your own supplies should not rely too much on equipment. The best way is to find career cards and skill cards, which are the golden and blue light balls.

I also got a lot of information from here. Most of the people speaking in the channel are using super loudspeakers, and there are also people in the same city using loudspeakers to shout that they have established a city-state.

"Hmm...it seems like we need to find a piece of land to build the city." Lu Jiu sighed.

Whenever the two encountered wild monsters on the road, they were able to kill them instantly and continue on their way. In the end, they encountered three waves of wild monsters during the day, all of which were mutated monsters.

At night, the two continued to hide in the treetops to sleep, and set off again the next day.

Finally, after several days, they saw a place where large farmlands were connected together again, and also saw a small hill where the soil was full of sweet potatoes, and on the other side there was a vast lake.

"This is a good place to build a city!" Lu Jiu immediately decided that this was the place.

Shen Jufeng also agreed. During this period, he found that not everyone was suitable for fighting. Some elderly people, children and people with poor physical fitness were not suitable for fighting even if their attributes were enhanced.

This will inevitably require many people to do other things to support themselves, and the operation of a city requires the collaboration of people from multiple industries.

Lu Jiu used the city-building order, and a city-state was built in this area according to her ideas.

They watched as a city slowly expanded, and all the giant trees that blocked its expansion disappeared. Seeing the towering city gate, the system prompted Lu Jiu to come up with a name.

"Let's call it City of Hope." Lu Jiu said excitedly.

System prompt: This name has been used, please enter another name.

Lu Jiu: “…”

Shen Jufeng: “…”
