Soon, more than a month had passed.
By now, it had been half a month since Ling Chen had entered the East Ocean Continent.
On the first day that Ling Chen entered the East Ocean Continent, he had caused massive waves throughout the world, causing his name to resound throughout the world. By now, there was no player who didn't know the name 'Ling Tian', and all players were looking forward to the spectacular battle between Ling Tian and Eve.
However, after that, everything became strangely silent. This was because after that, no one heard any news about Ling Tian, as if he had disappeared from the world. Logically speaking, after Ling Tian entered the East Ocean Continent and slaughtered all of the Japanese players in the Sunrise City's Central Square, he should have been even more powerful and turned the East Ocean Continent upside down … there were very few people in the world who didn't know that the relationship between players from Hua Xia and Japanese players wasn't very harmonious.
However, the long period of silence simply didn't make sense. Now, no one could confirm whether or not Ling Tian was still in the East Ocean Continent. The Japanese players, who had been yelling for Ling Tian to die and return to Hua Xia, had done a thorough search for Ling Tian. However, they hadn't found a single trace of him, so they could only give up. By now, they had almost forgotten that Ling Tian was still in the East Ocean Continent.
Forgotten Continent, North of the Fairy Forest.
Ever since the construction of the city had started, Yun Meng Xin had spent almost all of her time here. As one of the few people who knew about the construction of the city, as well as the biggest investor in the city, Li Xiao Xue would come here every day for more than half an hour, no matter how busy she was. Because she knew what this new city meant to her, and what it meant to the Li family behind her. At the same time, she kept her promise to Yun Meng Xin, and didn't tell anyone about this, including her family.
The construction of a city in the virtual world was completely different to the real world. In the real world, the construction of a city would take years or even decades. However, in the virtual world, as long as there was enough money, enough craftsmen, and enough materials … the construction could be built as quickly as building blocks. With the scale of the new city and the number of dwarves, it would only take three to four months, or even less, to complete the entire new city.
At a glance, what used to be a vast expanse of green grass was now filled with all kinds of foundations. Roads of different sizes had been clearly delineated, and some buildings had even begun to take shape. The dwarves worked hard, and every one of them was sweating profusely. However, not a single one of the tens of thousands of dwarves was resting. Although they were very tired, their faces were filled with excitement and satisfaction. It was as if it wasn't hard work, but a kind of enjoyment.
"Using 70 billion to build a city, and a big one at that, I think anyone would only take it as a joke. Li Xiao Xue sighed as she walked over to Meng Xin's side and gazed into the distance.
The land was readily available and belonged to the elves, so there was no need to buy it. As for the craftsmen … these Dwarves were the best craftsmen in the Forgotten Continent, and there were 30,000 of them. Not only did they have the best construction skills, but they were also much more hardworking than normal craftsmen. This was because they were building their new home, a home in heaven. Normal craftsmen used their physical strength and skill to work, while the Dwarves used their passion to work. The difference in efficiency was like the difference between heaven and earth, and they saved astronomical amounts of money. As for the materials, a portion of them could be gathered from the Fairy Forest. The Dwarves were very good at cutting down trees and digging up materials. If they couldn't find them, they would buy them from the main city.
After seeing the layout of the new city, Li Xiao Xue's only reaction was shock. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. The style, creativity, and technology could all be described as inconceivable. This was especially so for the Central District. She stared at it for a long time, unable to move her eyes away.
Even though Yun Meng Xin had told her about the Dwarves' unparalleled talent and wisdom in the field of construction, that blueprint still shocked her to the point where she couldn't control herself. It also made her realise just how shocking the Dwarves' abilities were in the field of construction … the Dwarves had been in hiding for 10,000 years, and had suppressed their talent and passion for so many years. Once they were released, who knew what kind of earth-shattering work they would be able to create?
Yun Meng Xin smiled and said, "70 billion was the safest estimate I could come up with. If I was a bit more conservative, I might not even need 50 billion. "
"I think if this happened in the real world, it would be one of the 10 most unbelievable things in the world," Li Xiao Xue said as she smiled. After looking at the layout, she knew that she had underestimated the effects of the new city. Although she was helping Yun Meng Xin, she knew that she was also benefiting from it. There were many people in the world who could afford 70 billion, but she was the only one who had this opportunity.
"The speed at which the city is being built is already the limit. With the Dwarves' passion and ability, it's impossible for it to be built any faster than it is now. The time it takes for the new city to be built might be even shorter than we expected. Even so, I hope that it can be built as quickly as possible, because every day that passes means the risk of being discovered by other players … as long as a player comes here, this place will be exposed, and the consequences will be so severe that I don't even dare to think about it. "Yun Meng Xin said. Her voice was calm, but there was a hint of worry in it. What she said was the biggest obstacle to building the city.
"Don't worry." Li Xiao Xue glanced at Yun Meng Xin. In this place, Yun Meng Xin wasn't wearing a veil. Looking at her face at such a close distance, Li Xiao Xue, who was also a woman, felt slightly dizzy. It made her, who had never felt envy before, feel envy and slight jealousy towards a more beautiful woman. She couldn't imagine that there would be any man in the world who could resist her beauty. "This place is thousands of miles away from Azure Dragon City. To get here from Azure Dragon City, apart from human territory, nearly half of the area is the territory of LV50 to LV70 monsters. At this stage, unless it's a super expert like Ling Tian, it's almost impossible for anyone to make it here alive."
Yun Meng Xin smiled and nodded, then shook her head slightly, "What I'm worried about is that there are very few 'super experts'. Right now, the average level of the players is less than LV40, so it should be very safe here. After LV40, players can change their equipment and become much stronger. However, their range of movement will also increase, and the risks will also increase … I hope that my worries are unnecessary. "
"There aren't more than 10 people in our Hua Xia who have this kind of strength. Moreover, the Forgotten Continent is so big, so how could it be so coincidental to come here? Meng Xin, don't worry. " Li Xiao Xue smiled as she comforted her. She then looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, and I still have many things to take care of. Meng Xin, I'll leave this place to you. If there's anything you need, remember to tell me."
"I will, Xiao Xue, you can go now."
Yun Meng Xin watched as Li Xiao Xue left. At the same time that Li Xiao Xue disappeared in front of her, Cai 'er's anxious shout came from afar. She flapped her two small wings and flew towards Yun Meng Xin.
"Big sister Yun! There's a human! There's a human coming over!! "
"!!" Yun Meng Xin's eyebrows furrowed.
This was the Fairy Clan's territory, and the Fairies had the right to not allow anyone to enter. In order to smoothly construct the new city, the Fairy Clan had set up a Fairy Barrier around this territory. This barrier could last for 2 months, and could prevent all humans and beasts from entering.
However, this didn't include players.
NPCs and beasts couldn't enter, which meant that the humans that Cai 'Er had seen … could only be players!!
Yun Meng Xin's mind was thrown into chaos. She never thought that the thing that she was most afraid of, which was something that was almost impossible to happen, would happen so quickly!
What were the consequences of being discovered by players? The news of a city being constructed here would immediately be spread! Even if they killed that person, it would be useless, because players could revive infinitely. As such, once this matter reached the ears of the big bosses of the guilds, they would use any means necessary to destroy the Yan Huang Alliance in order to obtain the rights to build a city. Of these, the Yan Huang Alliance would be at the forefront. Although it was impossible for normal players to travel from the Azure Dragon City to here, as long as a single person could reach here and bring a teleport scroll to a nearby town … they would be able to come here in large numbers without any risk.
According to the game's rules, the Fairy Clan and Dwarf Clan were both considered NPCs, and couldn't interfere with battles between players, including destroying cities … because this city was constructed with a City Creation Token and a player's name. All that was left was Yun Meng Xin. She was just a girl, so how could she deal with them?
She had to think of a way to prevent this from being revealed.
"Cai 'Er, how many people are there?" Yun Meng Xin hurriedly asked.
"Two people." Cai 'Er could feel Yun Meng Xin's nervousness. She had heard her father say that no outsiders could see what was happening here, or else there would be severe consequences. As such, she also became nervous.
"Where are they now? Take me there immediately. "
"Over there … ah … they're already here."
Without needing Yun Meng Xin to move, as Cai 'Er cried out, 2 figures appeared in her field of vision. They walked side by side, and their figures were quite similar. One was dressed in white, while the other was dressed in black … their coordination was quite eye-catching. The 2 of them walked over step by step, staring at the new city in the distance with deep shock in their eyes.
Anyone with eyes would be completely dumbfounded by what they saw.
Yun Meng Xin lightly bit her lip … that's right, these 2 people were undoubtedly players. Above their heads, their names were also displayed …
Winter of That Year, Hundred Miles of Ice.
