Volume 18, Chapter 35 The Strange City of the Gods

Chapter 35 The strange city of the gods

Shortly after leaving the bombed city, I found the City of the Gods according to the coordinates. Like the information given by the God of War before, the area of ​​the city in front of me is very large. Although it has not reached the state of Isinger that is almost the same as a municipality in reality, it has definitely reached the level of a top city in reality. Big or small. For such a huge city, the flow of people nearby is naturally terrifying. Even now that Russia is waging war against our country, you can still see an endless stream of players coming in and out at the city gate here.

"Asuka, that's it, land quickly."

"Understood." The flying bird suddenly swooped down from the sky, and then pulled up when it was about to hit the ground. It turned into a state with its belly facing forward and slid forward for more than ten meters before it offset the impact. At this time, I lightly kicked on the flying bird's back and jumped down, and the flying bird quickly disappeared into the opened Phoenix and Dragon space after I left.

The City of the Gods is a big city. Both the number of people and the city area are not comparable to the previous small town, so the previous stealth infiltration has no possibility of use here. In a big city like this, It's strange that there are not many special personnel who can resist invisibility. At that time, I will be the only one hiding in the city during the day. Even if others don't know who I am, they will definitely know that I am not here to do good things.

For a big city like this, the correct way to lurk is to disguise yourself and then infiltrate. I have done this kind of little thing n times. With the help of Amynis, I easily completed the disguise and walked into the city gate in the shape of a frost warrior.

Although the Frost Warrior is not a special profession in Russia, it is definitely one of the most popular professions, so the guard almost let me in without even looking at me. After all, almost all the people who come and go in front of them every day are people in this profession. If everyone has to be checked, they will not have to rest, and it will also cause traffic jams at the city gate.

After successfully blending into the city, I started walking along the main road in the city towards the city center. Everything I saw and heard along the way gave me the feeling that this city is very similar to Essinger. It's not that the architectural style in this city is like Essinger, but the technical strength that is integrated into every place in the city. Although the buildings here all use Russia's unique pointed dome structure, other parts of the building show a high level of technology.

First, I discovered drainage systems in the streets of the city. Don’t think that these things are unimportant because they can be seen everywhere in reality. In fact, these things are exactly the reflection of a city’s technological level. The reason why Paris, France is called the most advanced city in the world is because Paris has the world's best underground drainage system. In the game, apart from Isengard, I have only seen the city of Sana with drainage so far. System, except for the one in front of me, the other two are all cities of our Frost Rose Alliance. That is to say, apart from this city, I have only seen this thing in our own city so far.

In fact, the drainage system in the game is not a simple service equipment. It appears as a city functional facility in the game. If a city has this kind of facility, it can improve the city to a certain extent based on the operation of the facility. Satisfaction.

This city satisfaction is a city attribute determined by the system. Of course, it is mainly effective for NPCs. This satisfaction setting will be directly related to the city's development speed, monthly taxes paid, and the speed and quality of NPC generation. In a city with high city satisfaction, the number of NPCs will increase rapidly, and then you can confidently and boldly expand the city. Of course, if there are not enough NPCs, you can still expand the city, but various problems will occur after the city is expanded, such as building collapse and slow construction speed. Because city construction and maintenance in the game require the participation of ***NPCs, if there are too few ***NPCs, then workers will not be recruited for various auxiliary tasks in the city, and then various facilities will be damaged because there is no one to maintain them. And if it is damaged quickly or cannot operate, it will cause a lot of trouble. Of course, you can also let combat NPCs or players take over the work of ***NPCs, but generally no one will do that unless they are 'forced' to do so. Let’s not talk about the wages of combat NPCs and players. Even if they work for you, the quantity is definitely not enough. The number of *** NPCs in the game is usually more than thirty times that of combat NPCs. If the number of *** NPCs is insufficient, it will also affect the number of combat NPCs. This chain reaction is definitely a headache for city managers.

In addition to this drainage system, I discovered something else in the city - a rail car.

It's something like a tram, but instead of running along rails, it has magic markers on the ground. What's even more peculiar is that this kind of car is actually driverless. There is no biological traction in front of the car. The power system is completely installed in the chassis of the car, and the body is almost a large flat plate. However, this car never stops, and people who need to get on the car can jump on it directly. Anyway, the physical fitness of the people in the game is much exaggerated than in reality. If you want to jump on a vehicle that only travels at the trotting speed of a normal person, jump on it. Jumping up and down is not a problem at all.

In addition to these two things, I found a little something else in the city. First, I found a strange machine not far from the city gate. This thing looks about the same size as a bank cash machine. There is nothing that can be operated on the front, and I don’t know what it is used for. After going some distance into the city, I found a similar device, and I found a lot of them one after another. It felt like they existed everywhere in the city. Although I was extremely curious, I couldn't help but ask, so I could only write it down first.

After walking for a while, I passed through the outer area of ​​​​the city. There is a teleportation array used within the city, which can teleport people to other areas in the city. This kind of thing is available in very large cities. After all, the big cities in the game There are no buses or taxis in some cities, and the use of mounts is generally not allowed in the city. Therefore, these big cities must install transmission devices, otherwise running from the east to the west of the city will be very tiring.

Because I just took a brief look around the city's periphery, I didn't plan to walk anymore and directly used the teleportation array to enter the core area of ​​the city.

Large cities usually have two or three city walls, and the core area of ​​the City of Gods is located inside the second city wall. After leaving the teleportation array, I felt that the style here was hugely different from that of the outer city. The two sides of the inner city wall were like two cities. Although there are some technical equipment in the outer city, it doesn't feel much different from the general city, but the inside of the second city wall is indeed completely different. Huge steel buildings and all kinds of weird equipment were placed everywhere. If my coordinates hadn't shown that I was still in the city, I might have thought that there was an error in the teleportation array and sent me to Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers. !

"Hey." I was sighing at the hugeness of the building when I suddenly heard a voice shouting. But I didn't pay attention, but after waiting for a while, the voice shouted again. "It's you, the one in the white armor, don't be in a daze, come here quickly."

This time I didn’t need to be called by others, and I was sure that he was calling me. "You called me?" I asked, pointing to my nose.

"Nonsense, who else are you calling?" The man said impatiently: "Hurry up and get in the car, there are so many people waiting!"

"Do you know where I'm going?" I asked in surprise.

"That's what you said." The guy said impatiently: "If you come to the inner city of the City of Gods, what else can you do besides attending the auction?"

Although I don't know what the auction meeting is for, I am also a master of sneaking into hostile cities many times. Of course, I know that I must not ask again at this time, otherwise I will definitely betray someone. "Haha, I forgot about this." I said haha ​​and ran over quickly, then jumped into a car parked there. Said to be a car, in fact, this thing is not much different from those rail buses outside the city. The only difference is that this thing runs faster than that kind of bus, and secondly, this thing is equipped with a steering wheel, which can manually *** Manipulation, no need to follow the track.

After I got on the car, the flatbed truck quickly drove into the city under the control of the driver. On the way, several pick-up cars from other teleportation arrays merged together, and finally they got together. In a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles, there are hundreds of people on board the vehicles alone.

After driving for a period of time, the convoy finally stopped in front of a huge building, and then the people in the car jumped out one after another. Although I don’t know anything, the best thing to do at this time is to follow the crowd. After jumping out of the car with the crowd, the crowd began to line up, and many people even took out a small black card from their bodies. At first I was still wondering about the function of the card, but soon I realized the trouble.

I saw a gate in front of my queue, and eight guards stood at the gate. Next to the guards was a machine the size of a refrigerator, with a 'socket' on the machine. Anyone who passes by that device will remove the card in their hand, and then a red area will light up on the device. As soon as the visitor puts his hand on the red area, the red area will turn green in an instant, and a clear tone will sound. The receptionist at the door will quickly lead the person into the building. .

Although I don't know what principle that thing uses, I know that it is basically a security identifier, and it is also a two-way identification type with a special key and palmprint. It is estimated that as long as one thing is wrong, he will be immediately surrounded by guards. I'm not afraid of those guards. No one can stop me if I really want to run away. But the problem is that once I alert the enemy, subsequent investigations will become even more difficult.

Although the queue was moving very slowly, I was getting closer to the security gate after all, and it was impossible to leave now. Seeing the team moving forward little by little, I became more and more anxious. However, as the saying goes, wisdom arises out of anxiety. At this time, I happened to be anxious enough, and the wisdom finally came out.

"Emenis." I used telepathic contact to directly connect to Emenes, but did not release her.

"What are your orders?"

"I will release you soon. You first use the absolute mirror to copy yourself into a mosquito, and then help me copy the palm pattern of the guy behind me and paste it on my hand. Can you do it?"

"I can use the mirror image technique I used in Egypt last time to copy the palm prints, but I have time, so..."

"As long as you can hold on for a few seconds."

"That's definitely no problem. No flaws will be revealed within half an hour."

"Then do it quickly."

"learn."

Emenes quickly turned into a mosquito, and then flew out of the Phoenix Dragon space. Because the mosquito was so small, the Phoenix Dragon Space only opened a little, and no one noticed this tiny change. Emenes, who successfully left the Phoenix Dragon Space, quickly flew into the palm of the guy behind me, then activated the mirroring skill, quickly copied the texture of the guy's palm, and then flew back to my palm to mirror it as it was. On my hands. Now judging from the palm prints, there is no difference between the two of us.

After completing this step, I quickly took back Emmenis, and then suddenly activated the power of the Death Tattoo, instantly summoning a dozen Death Guards. The level of the Death Guard is half of my level, rounded up, which is level 900. This level is not too high, but in addition, the Death Guard can partially copy my attributes, so their combat effectiveness is actually higher than The players at the same level were much higher, at least the group of people on the scene were instantly in chaos.

"What happened?" Seeing the chaos here, the guards rushed over quickly. Some guests who reacted also joined the guards and began to besiege the death guards. Faced with the disparity in numbers and quality, then A dozen death guards were quickly killed, but my goal was achieved. The moment the Death Guard appeared, I was frightened and backed away, knocking the guy to the ground. I also pulled the card from his hand smoothly, and then I pushed Emmenis ahead of time. Another copied fake card was thrown next to him. Sure enough, when the guy noticed that the card had fallen, he picked up the fake card next to him, got up and ran out of the combat area without looking at it, for fear of being implicated.

Because the battle just messed up the team, I took the opportunity to squeeze to the front. When the review started again at the gate, I was already very close to the gate. After reviewing several people in a row, it was my turn. I walked to the machine with a normal expression, and then inserted the card into it according to the actions of the people I saw before. Because it was the real card I stole, I naturally successfully activated the square area, and then I covered it with my palm.

Ding. A crisp prompt sounded, the light turned green, the waiter inside quickly ran up and led me inside, and the team behind started to move again. As for what will happen to the guy whose card I changed, then It's not something I care about anymore.

After entering the building, I discovered that it looked a bit like the entrance to a movie theater, except that it was not a movie theater but a strange venue. Like a movie theater, this place has a huge slope-shaped audience area, densely packed into a semicircle, and it seems to have at least one or two thousand seats. In addition, there is a circle of small rooms above our heads, which is obviously a VIP area. The waiter took me to a seat, asked me to sit down, and then began to explain to me. Under his introduction, I quickly understood how to use some things on site.

As the driver said before, this is an auction, and I am sitting in the buyer's seat. The seats here are quite spacious, and three people can sit side by side as long as they are not super fat. The backrest behind the seat is very high, and there are baffles on both sides to completely separate adjacent positions. Although it is not completely enclosed, as long as others do not leave their seats, they cannot see what people in other positions are doing. Of course, people on the auction stage can see the whole place. There is a small table in front of the seat. In addition to drinks and some fruits, there is also a crystal ball on the table. The waiter just now mainly explained how to use this thing. According to his introduction, this thing is equivalent to a remote control for bidding. Every time you want to bid, you just need to 'touch' the crystal ball, and the price will automatically increase. If you want to add a price that exceeds the standard amount for a single bidding, you can directly press your hand on the crystal ball to figure out the number, and then the crystal ball will automatically add that much price, which is simply more convenient than a computer.

As people entered the venue one by one, the scene gradually became noisy. At this time, I also became nervous, because I found that many people who came to participate in the auction did not come alone. The seats at the venue are so wide, obviously prepared for many people, and people here often come in two or three together. It wasn't until this moment that I started to worry. What if the guy whose card I had just switched came with several people? The people around him must be able to come in. Once I contact the organizer of the conference, I can quickly confirm the identity of that person. By then, wouldn’t I be directly exposed?

Although I was a little worried, I did not leave this position. Anyway, it was not certain that I would be discovered, and even if I was discovered, nothing might happen. With this mentality, I waited until the beginning of the conference and the guards didn't come. It seemed that I was a good character. The guy came alone and couldn't confirm his identity in a short time.

As the conference began, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet because a woman walked onto the central display stage. The moment I saw this woman, my pupils suddenly shrank. That woman turned out to be the Frozen Banshee. She actually appeared at the venue and appeared as the organizer. This was really surprising.

The frozen banshee wearing a suit of ice armor looked extremely cool under the stage lights. Her cold temperament with the aura of death made all the males present feel like they had seen drugs. They knew the danger, but still endured it. Can't help but want to get closer.

"First of all, thank you all for coming here to participate in this auction at this time." The Frozen Banshee said her thanks in her voice without any warmth, but what she said next made me wonder why she appeared here. All doubts are cleared here.
