Chapter 237 Level 4
Zhuang Yun's words reminded Lu Jiu of Jidu City. "Yes, that's Jidu City. When we're done with the city-state affairs, we'll go take a look at Jidu City."
Being in Jinjiang District, she has always been curious about the scenery of Jidu City.
Although Yong Lin had only been in Jinjiang District for a short time, he had heard of Jidu City. They were in the same district, and the residents in the city especially would talk about it.
"I heard that Jidu City has a lot of city regulations. We've only tentatively decided on two, but they seem to have dozens."
But sometimes there is no order without rules, and it is not necessarily a bad thing that Jidu City has city regulations.
Lu Jiu had also heard of it. "Yes, it's a pity that we've been too busy recently. The city's population has skyrocketed by tens of thousands in just a few days. Fortunately, all the people in our city-state are helping to monitor these new residents, otherwise it would be really exhausting."
A few people were chatting while the soup in the pot was bubbling.
Shen Jufeng took a bite of the spicy fish and said, "Although we need to be careful, we don't need to be so deliberate. There will be more people coming to our city-state in the future. The most important thing is to make sure there is no trouble in the city."
This was also the reason why he and Lu Jiu watched the video carefully, as they were most afraid that there would be chaos due to the large crowds.
Lu Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid that someone disgusting will come and cause trouble and then run away."
Their city-state is developing so well now that it is inevitable that some people will feel resentful and may come to deliberately disgust them.
Zhuang Yun: "Hey, everyone's helping to keep an eye on things right now. Luckily, the residents here are very united."
At least on this matter, everyone agrees.
·
This population explosion lasted for about two weeks. During this period, some people caused trouble, but they were all arrested. It was not a big deal, but it was really disgusting.
In response to this, Lujiu fined everyone and drove them out of the city.
For a time, Xuantian City's reputation for cheating people spread. Lu Jiu was very tough and directly told anyone who had any questions to come to their city. The videos of these people committing crimes were being projected on the projection wall on the main road.
Now, Chengbang holds its trials at night, for no other reason than that everyone can watch the videos clearly at night, saving them from having to email them to everyone to watch one by one.
Every public trial is a slap in the face of the criminal.
The turmoil in the channel has gradually calmed down. Everyone is very busy now, so this kind of thing is just for fun and that's it.
·
That day, Lu Jiu transformed himself into the city lord and resolved a farce.
So far, the old residents of the city-state have lived a stable life, and the new residents are also quietly spending the uncertain period under the full attention of the Photo Stone.
If this causes trouble, not only will the person be publicly executed, but he will also be fined, and he will not be able to leave if he cannot pay the fine.
After Lu Jiu returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he collapsed directly on the luxurious recliner in his own mansion. "Why don't these people learn their lesson? Do they think we can't see them just by hiding in a small corner?"
What was resolved today was a conflict between a new resident and an old resident in Gedajiao. There was no physical violence, but the words were full of threats.
It was Shen Jufeng who happened to see it at that time, so she immediately went to deal with the matter.
Shen Jufeng had just finished his chores in the city. "Now we have the patrol NPCs helping to watch the footage. They seem to be able to figure out what's going on more quickly. It's much better to have their help."
This was discovered by Shen Jufeng. One day, a patrol NPC came here to report. Looking at the video footage in the densely packed grids they had released, he said something had happened.
When I looked specifically at those areas, I found that something really happened.
Careful Shen Jufeng will let the two patrol NPCs take turns to be on duty and watch the video.
It was already night time and the NPCs had gone back. Lu Jiu took a look at the video projected on the wall and quickly turned his head. It gave him a headache.
"That's true. There have been fewer incidents these days. From about ten incidents a day before, now there's only one incident every two or three days. It's finally quieter."
Over the past two weeks, the population of their city-state has skyrocketed from over 10,000 to about 150,000. They originally thought that there wouldn't be too many ordinary residents, but they never expected that ordinary residents would make up the majority.
But there are also many professional players.
Shen Jufeng: "Don't think about it. At least there are more people. The city-state resources are increasing rapidly, and we can upgrade the city-state again."
Lu Jiu checked and found that the city-state resources brought were indeed a lot. Now there were more than 60,000 official residents in the city, and the rest who had not been able to collect 5,000 contribution points were ordinary residents.
Lu Jiu: "To upgrade a level 3 city-state to level 4 requires 5.5 million Glory Crystals, 61,000 Glory Dust, 12,000 Glory Fragments, and 1,200 Glory Hearts."
Shen Jufeng recalled the resources needed to upgrade from level 2 to level 3, "Compared to the amount needed before, it is indeed a lot. I wonder how many resources are needed to upgrade to level 5."
Lu Jiu: "The amount required is definitely a qualitative leap, and we'll need more residents by then. But is level five really the end?"
This is what she is most curious about. What happens after level five? Is the development of the city-state limited to this?
Shen Jufeng: "We'll know when the time comes. Since we have enough resources, we can upgrade. There are too many residents in the city right now, and the products sold in the shops are simply not enough. We need to open enough branches."
In the past, there were only more than 10,000 residents in the city, so a few stores were enough. Now it is completely impossible.
Lu Jiu submitted the resources without hesitation.
[System prompt: Congratulations to Xuantian City for officially upgrading to a Level 4 city-state. Keep up the good work!]
As the city-state upgrades, there is no limit to the stores that can be opened, as long as there are enough gold coins.
The wealthy lady from Lujiu waved her hand and ordered all existing stores selling equipment and props to open 20 branches first, and add more if there are not enough later.
Currently, the residents in the city who can make equipment have not yet been able to get up, and the city-state shops are the main places where people spend their money.
The number of patrol NPCs has quadrupled from 64 to 256.
Lujiu also opened dessert shops, bakeries and other food stores, as well as several entertainment stores.
The most interesting thing is a store called Barber Shop. This store probably launches hairstyles, or players can give their own hairstyle cards, and the NPC will seamlessly transfer the cards to the players.
Seeing this, Lu Jiu quickly took out his backpack. The original hairstyles were still in the backpack, but he couldn't use them before. All he took out was a card with a hairstyle drawn on it.
"Shen Jufeng, we can finally change our hairstyles!"
Shen Jufeng raised his eyelids and looked at her, "Oh, you want to slap the card directly on your head?"
Lu Jiu snorted, "I opened a barber shop. I can give the card to the NPC when the time comes, and then I can use the hairstyle on the card."
Shen Jufeng thought for a moment. He didn't have a hairstyle card. "I don't have this. You can go and try it. When you're done, come back and let me see it."
Now in the game world, his hair grows very slowly, and now it is almost the same as before. He just needs to take care of it on a daily basis.
Lu Jiu remembered that Shen Jufeng was not an advanced player. Although he often obtained suits and weapons of little use when killing monsters, he didn't have any hairstyle cards.
"Yeah, I totally forgot about it. I'm going to line up to get my hair done tomorrow morning."
Shen Jufeng lowered his head, with a slight smile on his lips. These days, Lu Jiu almost always tied her hair into a ponytail. In her words, this way, when fighting wild monsters, her hairstyle would not affect her vision.
