Time passed, and it was nearing the end of version 2.0.
The City of Dawn had been developing steadily in the second half of the year. Besides fighting against the dark creatures every day, they did not encounter any enemies that were worthy of being called their opponents!
The Slovan Kingdom's revival mission to counterattack against the Darkness invasion gave the players a sense of victory that they deserved!
After all, the City of Dawn's all-out attack did not allow the dark creatures to be arrogant for long. The Chinese players only fought a fast-paced super war in the early stages of the game. Other than that, they did not experience the joy of fighting against the dark creatures …
The Chinese players watched the foreign players fight against the dark creatures and posted their daily records. This made the Chinese players very depressed.
But after they received the mission to help the Slovan Kingdom revive, the players once again had a reason to talk about the dark creatures.
They could even post arrogantly in other countries. Look at the City of Dawn. After we've defeated the dark creatures, we can still help others. None of you have revived your kingdom. Why do you have to put in so much effort?
Anyway, the forum was full of arguments and scolding.
The Chinese players had a great advantage in version 2.0. If they did not brag all day, they would not be considered players.
The Slovan Kingdom revival mission was completed. With the support of the Red Fire Kingdom, the Dawn Mercenary Team became famous in the southern region. There were many kinds of employment missions. The garrison of any country would receive many missions.
This was what William had said. There were so many missions that he did not have enough manpower.
He could only hope that the players would grow quickly.
The Emerald Grand Duchy and Lan Yu Grand Duchy also started to borrow the power of the City of Dawn. They handed over some missions that they could not spare to the Dawn Mercenary Team.
In the secret war between the two nations, they often hired fearless players to fight a war of attrition. This made it more interesting for the warlike players.
The City of Dawn was one of the beginner's villages. Most of the novice players would choose to spawn there.
Until today.
The total number of Chinese players had reached one million. The number of players in the City of Dawn had increased to 880,000, which was 80% of the total population.
The other 20% of the players were not distributed to the Black Lava Duchy, which did not have a strong military. Instead, they went to the Emerald Grand Duchy and the Red Fire Kingdom.
The number of NPCs in the City of Dawn reached 1.7 million.
There were 150,000 regular legions and 50,000 reserve legions.
The city continued to expand into the Blackleaf Forest.
Now, there were 16 districts with a population of 2 million.
This included 200,000 players who owned properties in the City of Dawn. However, the players were always online and offline. They did not stay in the game for long, so the City of Dawn was not too crowded.
The novice players chose the City of Dawn as their beginner's village not only because of the City of Dawn's strength, but also because of the variety of missions available. They could develop on land or in the ocean.
There were also many S, A, and A + Grade employment missions.
Most importantly, most of the smaller dukedoms didn't even have portals!
For the convenience of leveling up, the players would choose the City of Dawn, which was very convenient for transportation.
Recently, the City of Dawn had purchased many flying magical beasts from the Red Fire Kingdom. As a result, the City of Dawn had teleportation portals for long-distance travel and flying magical beasts for short-distance travel.
The City of Dawn's wealth and power were comparable to that of a grand duchy. The players were amazed by the City of Dawn's growth. It was much faster than they had expected.
But he had to say it.
Ever since William opened the teleportation portals between the City of Dawn and the Red Fire Kingdom, the City of Dawn had made a lot of money.
The City of Dawn made a lot of money from the trade between the two countries. Just from the trade with the Red Fire Kingdom, the City of Dawn could earn a net profit of 400,000 gold coins every month.
The fishing industry accounted for one-third of the income!
As the Red Fire Kingdom was a landlocked country, marine life was very rare. The fish caught could not be sold for a high price in the City of Dawn, but they could be sold for more than ten times the price in the Red Fire Kingdom.
In addition, the City of Dawn also had various rare mineral veins. Some minerals like mythril and orichalcum could be used to exchange for ores that the city did not have. This greatly increased the variety of ores in the City of Dawn. Thus, the blacksmiths could create more high-quality attribute equipment.
…
William walked on the streets of the City of Dawn. When the commoners, tourists, and merchants saw him, they would bow respectfully and greet him.
And His Royal Highness just needed to keep smiling.
Other than the old city, he rarely went to the new city, even though the new city looked better. The magic lights were more fancy, and the surrounding trees and flowers were more beautiful.
But the old city was not bad either!
William was also a boy with a good sense of aesthetics. He hoped that his territory would look better, so he often asked his subordinates to renovate the city.
There were almost 10000 mages in the City of Dawn. The bored mages would occasionally tinker with some gadgets to decorate the City of Dawn.
For example, the magic lights that floated in the sky were like huge kites. Every night, they would emit colorful lights.
Some simple and practical magic tools could help clean the homes and liberate the labor force. Thus, more women could go to work and contribute to the development of the City of Dawn.
For example, some practical magic fans could cool down the commoners in hot weather, so that the construction workers could work more diligently …
Of course …
All of these also cost money!
The magic professionals could research these things not only because of their hobbies, but also because the city lord, who did not engage in proper work, supported them in researching all kinds of advanced technology …
Why were there so many magic professionals in the City of Dawn?
It was all because of the space enchanter, Old Band. He was the one who attracted so many NPC mages to the city.
The magic professionals often admired the strong more than the close-combat professionals.
Because the magic professionals pursued magic and the truth!
Someone like Old Band.
In the eyes of many magic professionals, Old Band was close to the truth. He was a legend who was about to become a great enchanter.
…
"Old Leather, are you cheating money in the casino again?" William was wandering around. Version 2.0 was about to end, and he had done all he could. Now, he just had to wait for the recovery of magic. But he still went to the casino to catch Old Leather.
Ever since he had tricked Old Leather to the City of Dawn, he had been cheating people in the casino every day. It had affected the economic development of the City of Dawn and the city's appearance.
According to the 23rd century Chinese Constitution, Old Leather should be executed!
But it had to be said.
After William's affinity with Old Leather and his identity was revealed, Old Leather, a Grandmaster professional, decided to follow William!
It was not only because the City of Dawn was powerful.
More importantly, Old Leather 'liked' William.
According to Old Leather, he had never seen someone with such low misfortune.
When he saw the professionals in the City of Dawn shrouded in black gas, Old Leather was elated. What was this?
A concentration camp for unlucky people?
But to Old Leather, it was a place where the scapegoats gathered!
He even saw someone with the same bad luck as William. It was a pity that Old Leather could not see through the mage, so he could not make use of him for now …
But as long as someone had lower bad luck than Old Leather, it would be difficult for him to die. It was especially so for people like William, who were growing rapidly.
Old Leather felt that it would not be long before he could follow William around. He could reap the benefits and let others take the blame for him.
But he still had to gamble …
When Old Leather saw William coming to catch him again, he used his Grandmaster speed to escape. He went to another casino in another district to waste his time. There were hundreds of casinos in the City of Dawn, and he did not believe that William would have the time to catch him.
Ever since William recruited Old Leather as his subordinate.
He finally knew the name of Old Leather's endowment!
[Misfortune Transfer: When there is a creature of the same level with lower luck than you, as long as you are within 100 meters of the creature, all misfortune will be transferred to that creature.]
