83 The fifth and sixth days of the Wild Beast Season: A traitor?
Yu Luowei was just about to ask everyone present where Ma Tuan had gone, when the next second, the griffin carrying Ma Tuan landed on the ground in front of her.
Yu Luowei's mind was blank for a few seconds, and Ma Tuan felt a little guilty, so she didn't dare to run over immediately. It was only after Yu Luowei recovered that she picked it up - and she almost hurt her waist.
She was a little angry, after all, flying into the sky was very dangerous, but Ma Tuan was fine after all, and he was acting coquettishly to her crazily. Even the hardest-hearted person would be softened, so Yu Luowei forgave Ma Tuan.
Of course, she still warned Ma Tuan that he must tell her in advance before doing such dangerous things in the future.
In view of yesterday's arrangements and today's timely strategy changes, and the fact that Yu Luowei also made a considerable contribution to repelling the beast tide, today went smoothly and no one was injured.
Thanks to timely strategic adjustments and Yu Luowei's "hack" in North City, other cities struggled to cope. Several more cities were breached today, and those individual survivors who had managed to hold on until now, under the onslaught of twice as many beasts, were gradually losing their grip and seeking refuge in other cities.
The individual survivors who have been able to hold on until now are all at least level six, so they have all chosen more advanced cities, and the North City has also accepted a group of new citizens.
A small number of players, due to special opportunities, received new city-building orders and built new cities with their friends in the game. However, without treasure chests in the outside world, newly obtained city-building orders are still rare, and the number of cities is generally decreasing.
The ranking list had been updated again, so Yu Luowei didn't look at it carefully. She accepted the two orange treasure chests for today - after she participated in the battle, her ranking in the city entered the top ten, and she was ready to close the manual.
However, Lu Zhi's sudden message stopped her from moving.
Lu Zhi: There are a lot of new citizens lately. Is it because of mergers with other cities?
Yu Luowei: It's true there are quite a lot, but only one city was merged, the one from yesterday. The others were probably merged because the beast tide made it more difficult. Any questions?
Lu Zhi: You should be able to see all the citizens' information over there. Fei Xing and Wang Peng, you need to pay more attention to them.
These two people were the two sneaky people that Yu Luowei discovered yesterday. She had been monitoring them. But why did Lu Zhi also know them? Soon, Yu Luowei's question was answered:
[Lu Zhi: You should still remember what I told you before about the cities in my previous region that were made up of the top few cities on the battle power rankings. They were supporters at the time, so they should have joined that city.]
Lu Zhi: I just checked, that city is still ranked second on the current rankings. They shouldn't be here right now.
Lu Zhi: I suspect they joined North City to act as an insider, facilitating an invasion. They also recognized me and have been sending me private messages asking for detailed information about North City.
【Lu Zhi: Anyway, you must be more careful next time.】
[Yu Luowei: Thank you for the information, Senior!]
These two weren't exactly good people. No wonder their loyalty was the lowest among the new citizens. The surveillance footage didn't show any unusual behavior from them, so it turned out they were secretly investigating. Unfortunately, due to privacy concerns, their chat logs were also unavailable. Yu Luowei could only make a warning in the city chat room.
To understand the motives behind these two people, Yu Luowei didn't immediately deal with the two "traitors". After sending the message, he closed the manual and looked at the leaderboard rewards. By now, he had accumulated three orange and three purple treasure chests. Since there was nothing else to do, Yu Luowei opened them all at once.
In addition to ordinary supplies, Yu Luowei finally obtained a special building card - a drone landing pad, and the other two orange treasure chests also opened fifty drones.
This special building card is really special, specifically because it does not specify the placement area like other special building cards.
Yu Luowei tried it out and found that it could be placed in both the defense zone and the public zone. Thinking of the recent beast tide, she placed it in the defense zone first. After placing it, the system screen showed the function of this building card in the defense zone:
[Drone Landing Pad: Accommodates up to 100 drones. Once placed in the defensive zone, drones can be piloted to areas outside the city, with the distance determined by the operator's mental power. Drones' basic functions include surveillance, detection, and identification. Operators can inject elemental or mental energy into drones to grant them attack capabilities.]
In addition, there is a transfer icon at the bottom of the page, which can be used to transfer this building to other areas.
There is no limit on the number of times this transfer can be made, so Yu Luowei put it in the public area to try it out. The drone cannot go outside the city in the public area and has no attack capability, but it has the ability to search, find people, find the way, communicate, and even water flowers after placing a water card or connecting to a water pipe.
It seems more appropriate to place them in the defense zone. Yu Luowei returned the helipad to its original position and placed the fifty drones inside. Then he put the controller into his wristband. The drones would be ready for use tomorrow.
Day six of the season.
Yu Luowei woke up early and gathered her friends on the treetop to test the drones' capabilities. Drones didn't require mental energy to fly within the city, just a controller, so the main goal was to test their capabilities outside the city. They each tried their hand at it, but due to time constraints, they only tested the number of drones they could control simultaneously. Fang Min had the fewest, only able to control 36, while Jiang Nian'an and Yu Luowei could both simultaneously operate them.
The attack capability of a drone depends on the operator's attack capability. In their hands, as long as they have enough mental strength, the drone is almost as powerful as a level 6 survivor. According to the ratio, each person was given several drones.
Soon, the morning's beast tide arrived. This time, it was a hybrid monster, and with the help of drones, it was easily defeated.
Although this frequency and intensity of battles didn't raise everyone's level, it did increase their mental strength somewhat. Many people didn't return to the city at noon, instead packing lunch and planning to explore the surrounding area before returning to participate in the afternoon battle.
Seeing this situation, Yu Luowei pulled out the rest area from the last activity and transformed it into a temporary dining area. He took some food from Su Tang and the snack bar to sell. He could also provide everyone with a safe temporary rest area.
The afternoon's battle was no different from the morning's, so they could all go home soon. Ma Tuan skillfully dismounted the griffin, said goodbye to it, and followed Yu Luowei back to the base.
There are many dilapidated cities that want to be merged into North City in the past two days, but firstly, North City does not have so many vacancies, and secondly, Yu Luowei is also worried about their loyalty and worried that they will gather together to cause trouble. Therefore, after a brief exchange, he only agreed to allow two small cities to join.
Fortunately, the game had been extended for a while, so the other cities that hadn't accepted wouldn't be completely wiped out by Yu Luowei's rejection, so Yu Luowei didn't bother with it anymore. At this point, only a few dozen spots remained in North City, and even if other cities wanted to join the system in the future, they wouldn't be allowed to choose North City.
If she upgraded her city now, the lack of population would attract more smaller cities, and the beast tide she faced would likely be even stronger. At this point, the population of each city in the region had gradually stabilized, so Yu Luowei decided not to upgrade. It just so happened that her points hadn't fully recovered since she bought the five city skill cards, so she thought it would be a good time to "recover her mind and body."
Today's City Lord reward and the top ten rewards have been upgraded to two orange treasure chests, making a total of four. Yu Luowei asked the others, and the citizens' rewards have also been upgraded from purple treasure chests to orange treasure chests. The city ranking rewards have also been upgraded.
Now, most people's daily gains were greater than before when they could obtain treasure chests while exploring outside. However, because such good things were not guaranteed to happen again in the future, and skill cards and other items could be purchased in the points mall, many people, like Yu Luowei, chose to save up their treasure chests.
Six days into this season, many people's electricity and water cards have run out, and they've opted to connect to the city's power and water supply. This isn't a large amount of points, but it's affordable for everyone in North City. Even those who are still alive have already connected.
As the city lord, Yu Luowei can choose to enjoy free electricity and water, or he can choose to allow staff from other cities to have a certain amount of free rights.
However, considering the original intention of this game, Yu Luowei still set a free limit for himself and other staff members to save themselves from waste.
This water source power supply is much more convenient than water cards and electricity cards. At least the water can be boiled and drunk anywhere, unlike water cards, which cannot be drunk. Yu Luowei took out most of the water cards and electricity cards in his hand and put them in the trading market. After all, many small cities cannot afford power stations and water plants.
The price was slightly higher than the original price, compared to the high price in the trading market when it was limited edition, the main point was that anyone could buy it. And although not all of them were sold, when Yu Luowei's treasure chest dropped 100%, I got a lot. The two types added up to several thousand pieces, which was also a considerable income.
As soon as it was put on the shelves, the number dropped rapidly. Looking at the points he had obtained with satisfaction, Yu Luowei practiced his magic and injected skills into the blank skill cards.
With her current level of magic and supernatural powers, the minimum skill card after infusion would be orange. Blank skill cards were much cheaper than other skill cards. There was a tree of life in the city, and the comfort level in her shelter was already very high. Infusing a blank skill card with skills would consume almost no mental energy.
Yu Luowei gradually came up with the idea of selling these high-level skill cards - in the system mall, apart from city skill cards, there are very few other high-level skill cards.
However, in order to prevent others from using the skill cards she sold to attack North City, Yu Luowei also purchased some contracts. Everyone who bought a high-level skill card had to promise her that the high-level skill card could not be used to attack North City.
In addition to selling to other cities, Yu Luowei also provides a purchasing channel for citizens with higher loyalty, with much more favorable prices. Increase the city's armed forces.
After this operation, Yu Luowei's points will be back to the peak level immediately. Happily, he added a meal for himself and Ma Tuan. Yu Luowei kept playing with his phone and reading novels until 1 a.m. before falling asleep.
