Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start-Chapter 317 - 180: Demacia: At Least the Toxin Grew
Tier: Bronze Lower Tier.
Specialty: Gold Seeking: You have an extreme sensitivity to treasures, always able to sense their aura from afar.
Introduction: A bat from a distant world, but it doesn’t represent bad luck; instead, it’s a messenger of fortune. Wherever it is, treasures abound, but they always end up getting stolen. This race has nothing besides luck.]
Barrage: [6.]×n
"Look, you’ve lost again. Stop resisting. Every fight with you makes me feel incredibly strong!" Demacia said, pressing his summoned creature to the ground, somewhat frustrated.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Er Shu’s eyes were still full of defiance, as if saying: Just let me go, let’s fight again!
Seeing the increasing popularity of the livestream, Demacia reluctantly decided to initiate a summon.
Buzz~
A huge, fiercely-looking cannibal flower, over three meters tall, appeared, emitting an incredibly dangerous aura.
But as soon as it appeared, it got scared along with Er Shu.
Er Shu squeaked loudly, even though it had wings, it used all four limbs to run ten meters away.
And this extremely fierce cannibal flower was even more exaggerated, darting behind Demacia, its roots wrapping around his entire body, swallowing half of him.
It made a sound almost like whimpering.
"Ugh, it’s too big, let go, let go..."
Demacia frantically pulled himself out, gasping for breath.
[You were attacked by your summoned creature, suffering mild poisoning, losing 1% life value per second.]
He looked at the cannibal flower crazily trying to bite his shoulder but failing due to its size.
Then he looked at Er Shu, the embodiment of timidity except when it came to himself, dramatizing the phrase ’cowardly as a rat’ to the fullest, and fell silent for a moment.
Amidst the barrage’s laughter, he helplessly displayed the previous alert to the audience.
"At least Xiaomo’s poison works, right?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Slurp~"
Just as he spoke, a giant tongue licked his magic robe dry, and the alert popped up again.
[Your poison was neutralized.]
Looking at the laughter and some questions on the barrage, Demacia waited for the show effect to ebb before selecting some to answer.
"When will Xiaomo evolve?"
"This isn’t Pokémon, guys. It’s called reaching adulthood. It’s now in the juvenile stage, a few more months of feeding, and it’ll be done. Talking about it makes me tear up. If not for those temporary summoning skills, this profession would be unplayable."
"Are you setting up a stall next?"
"In this war, 70% of Dongwu City’s players participated. Everyone’s not short on equipment, so of course, we’re selling to NPCs. They’re very willing to buy."
"Gold Coin? Sigh, I have to feed these two, I’m really afraid they’ll starve when I’m out of money."
"Whimper..."
"Uh, Xiaomo, I wasn’t talking about you, don’t cry, that big bat is a partner, don’t be afraid..."
As chatting continued, the popularity of the livestream gradually declined. Seeing that several other streamers had ended their streams, Demacia smiled and said, "Great, these two are hungry again, see you next time, heading to buy food...."
Closing the stream, Demacia also unsummoned Xiaomo.
It couldn’t face strangers yet. To avoid scaring it to death, better let it stay in the Wood Spirit Realm.
Beep beep...
The sound of a private message alert came; it was from his friend Flowers of the Other Shore, an operation expert, chasing Black Night Rose during the beta period.
Flowers of the Other Shore: [Heard you’re on good terms with Baiyi?]
Demacia: [Of course, I’m not bragging, but among all players, except for that little guy from the Guard Brigade, my likability is the highest.]
Flowers of the Other Shore: [Image.]
[Name: Mysterious Invitation.
Attributes: Special mission.
Mission Description: A special force has activated the Mysterious Town, and mysteries are awakening. In the memories of the deceased extremely evil people, Dongwu City has exposed its location.
The eerie will invade Dongwu City in the future. You are requested to go to the Mysterious Town and prevent this disaster from happening.
Mission Difficulty: Hell.
Mission Rewards: Attribute points +10, skill points +10, special profession ×1, gold coins +300.
Failure Penalty: None.
Introduction: Mysterious, Netherworldly, monsters under conflicting rules. Perhaps you’ve already been targeted?]
Demacia: [Wow, when did this happen? Have you told the Guard Brigade?]
Flowers of the Other Shore: [The Guard Brigade is busy, hasn’t replied yet.]
Demacia: [Then why tell Baiyi? This is clearly a dungeon, right? Shouldn’t we check it out first?]
Flowers of the Other Shore: [Image, image, image....]
[You entered the special dungeon Mysterious Town and died.]
[You entered the special dungeon Mysterious Town...and you died.]
[You entered....]
[Flowers of the Other Shore Level: 10.]
Demacia: [OMG, died twelve times....but don’t panic. Yes, you can tell everything to the NPCs and using their power is indeed easy, but we can’t rely on NPCs for everything, can we?]
Let me find some people and we’ll go together, I don’t believe a group of high-level players can’t conquer a dungeon.
Flowers of the Other Shore: [Respawn Time: 11 hours 56 minutes.]
Demacia: ....
[Wait for me, I’ll find the Guard Brigade, trust me, brother Flowers!]
Flowers of the Other Shore: [Hurry up....]
[Okay, don’t panic, right away.]
Excited, he grabbed his stuff and shouted, "Er Shu...Uncle Er..geez, should’ve thought of another name earlier..."
Muttering this, when the big bat flew over, he mounted it and flew directly towards the direction of the Guard Brigade.
This dungeon must be tackled by players first; when players can’t handle it, then NPCs join in!
While Demacia and the others were discussing, the legion had already begun cleaning up the battlefield. The reason was simple: accumulated corpses would cause plague.
Unprocessed corpses couldn’t be used as materials to sell, a massive wave of biological materials from Dongwu City was filled.
Most of these materials flowed into the Military Equipment Bureau; many materials for flesh transformation could be substituted with these, and corpses could also be made into some potions.
Also, thanks to players having no storage space, otherwise, how would anyone else benefit?
Time swiftly moved to the end of December; this month was both peaceful and tense.
Because traces of the activities of the Ancient God Kingdom were discovered in the four major border cities and many secondary border cities.
The entire Federation quickly mobilized; all cities were on combat readiness, even the military merit system for players was getting prepared amidst this tense atmosphere.
Waiting for Dongwu City to go online first, so other cities could follow suit, causing a player network explosion.
In the month, the player count in the four major border cities reached 700,000, with Dongwu City having the most, reaching 800,000.
Including players, Dongwu City’s population was now close to six million, which was terrifying. To know, the capital city only has four million.
Dongwu City could now be called the largest city.
Meanwhile, the two thousand modified warriors of the Modified Legion were all finished, and the Mechanical Legion had reached eight thousand.
More population led to more Alchemists, and more Alchemists greatly aided the city’s development.
The Finance Officer, absent for a month, finally returned to Dongwu City. Finance Officer Sabo stated that Dongwu City could accommodate even more people.
At the same time, more schools were being built in Dongwu City, and Sabo was transforming Dongwu City as if it were his own.
Various buildings were being renovated, technology was flowing into the Military Equipment Bureau, and nearly a thousand alchemists led many apprentices to make the Inner City District of Dongwu City more prosperous.
By now, Baiyi also finally put down the last exoskeleton device.
[You manufactured an exoskeleton mechanical device, Experience Value +480, Extra Experience Points +480.]
[You leveled up, reaching Level 57.]
[You manufactured an exoskeleton mechanical device, Experience +450, Extra Experience Value +450.]
[You leveled up, reaching Level 58.]
Glancing at the panel, Baiyi emerged from the retreat state, casually glanced over the players’ forum, and was suddenly stunned.
That is...Mysterious Town?
