Chapter 529: Copy Selection! Countdown Starts!
Reappeared in the Guild Territory of the Ninth Heaven.
Chen Ming opened the panel of the Guild Territory and checked it.
After these days of development, the Guild Territory has expanded again. The scale is more than one circle larger than the town when it was just upgraded. The population has doubled, and the output has also doubled.
However, Chen Ming did not withdraw these outputs, but left them in the account of the Guild Territory, because while the income increased, Chen Ming was also unlocking various buildings in the Guild Territory without stopping.
Almost all of the income earned was reinvested in production by Chen Ming.
"The current development speed of the Guild Territory is quite good."
"It has reached a balance of income and expenditure at the level of a blue-level territory... It's not easy, it's too difficult."
Having experienced the previous life, he knew that the territories of those big guilds were all monsters that swallowed money.
From the initial development to becoming a hegemon in the later stage, it can gradually bring income... This process is extremely long, and countless resources will be swallowed every day.
The more time passes, the more resources are needed.
It was only because there were so many precious things in the territory of the Nine Heavens Guild.
In addition, Chen Ming's popularity was so high.
That's why the guild's territory had a constant stream of visitors. In the state of a blue-level territory, it was able to maintain a barely balanced income and expenditure...
In contrast, the neighboring Xueyue Guild, even though it was quite close to the Nine Heavens Guild and also brought a lot of traffic, still had to spend real money every day to make up for the deficit.
Chen Ming was very satisfied with the current development of the guild's territory.
Then, he jumped the panel to the building items that had not been unlocked.
In a locked building, his eyes were suddenly attracted...
"Huh?"
"Only 230 people are needed to unlock the animal training room?"
230 people, not a lot, but not a little.
If it were the lord of other territories, they would definitely have to rely on a month, or even longer, to accumulate.
But Chen Ming was different.
There is a resource copy entry ticket in the guild territory warehouse!
This is the first system reward in the world for building a guild territory.
Chen Ming has never used it.
Now, it comes in handy.
"With my current level of 27, it should be no problem to solo the resource copy."
"What's more, I have neither tasks to do nor copies to play now."
"The resource copy can also give me a generous experience reward..."
"This thing can just come in handy."
Thinking of this, Chen Ming no longer hesitated. With the identity of the guild president, he took out the resource copy entry ticket without hindrance, and then with a sizzling sound, he tore the scroll and unfolded it...
"Swoosh!"
The light burst out suddenly.
Three options suddenly appeared in front of Chen Ming.
[The Yingui Mine] (Recommended level: lv.20): An underground mine accidentally discovered after an earthquake. Countless adventurers have gone to check it out, but no one has returned after entering it!
[This place is rich in mineral resources. Adventurers, please make full preparations before challenging! 】
…
[Giant City] (Recommended level: lv.25): The giants who have only been recorded sporadically in history actually have a city of their own! This is an incredible discovery, and it has attracted countless adventurers!
[This place is rich in population resources, please make full preparations before challenging! ]
…
[Wild Forest] (Recommended level: lv.30): In a territory ruled by trees, how many dangerous predators are hidden under the seemingly dense and vibrant branches and leaves... No one knows!
[This place is rich in wood resources, please make full preparations before challenging! ]
Three completely different options represent different levels and different resource distributions.
It seems that the Giant City is the most suitable for Chen Ming's adventure this time.
After all, this map focuses on a population resource.
And the level is also more appropriate.
But…
Chen Ming did not choose.
Instead, he moved his eyes to the bottom.
That is the most special copy that is independent of the three options.
[Forbidden Abyss] (Recommended level: lv20-40): Since ancient times, this place has been listed as a forbidden place by adventurers. You can get valuable supplies just from the periphery. The deeper you go, the richer the supplies are. It is unimaginable what kind of treasures are in the innermost part! Countless adventurers have come here for thousands of years, but all those who have gone deep inside have not been able to come out alive...
[The distribution of resources here is random, and the distribution of dangers is also random. ]
[You may easily obtain the supreme treasure, or you may be teleported to the mouth of the most terrifying beast as soon as you enter. ]
[Everything depends on luck! ]
[Adventurers, please think carefully before making a choice. ]
That's right.
What Chen Ming values is this forbidden abyss!
If Chen Ming was any other profession, he would definitely choose the Giant City honestly.
It is safest to kill monsters around level 25 and get some population resources.
But he...
is a thief!
A profession walking on the edge of a knife.
The main goal is to win big with a small investment!
If you don’t have a dream, why play the role of a thief?
Wouldn’t it be better to change to a more stable profession?
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Ming waved his hand...
“I choose the Forbidden Abyss!”
As soon as the words fell.
The selection page in white font in front of Chen Ming was replaced by a blood-red color!
The originally simple and intuitive selection panel seemed to be corroded, and began to decay, and even ooze blood.
The first three options gradually withered and disappeared in this corrupt scarlet breath.
Only the last option was left, and it shone brightly under the blessing of blood-red.
"Damn, the special effects are so scary?"
Such a thought just flashed through his mind.
The blood-red panel suddenly turned into a huge mouth of the abyss, swallowing Chen Ming fiercely!
At this moment, Chen Ming felt as if he was locked in, unable to move, and could only watch himself being swallowed!
The eyes suddenly went black!
The feeling of weightlessness instantly surged into his heart.
An unbearable strong fishy smell and stench appeared around him, as if he was really swallowed by a giant beast.
After about three or five seconds, a crack suddenly appeared in the center of the darkness in front of him, and light burst out, followed by a huge thrust, which pushed Chen Ming back to the crack!
After being completely thrown out of the darkness, Chen Ming finally saw the situation in front of him clearly.
He was thrown into the air.
All around was a barren and rocky Gobi.
It was so desolate that there was no living creature as far as the eye could see.
And under his feet was the mouth of a giant beast, which appeared out of thin air in the Gobi.
As it spit out Chen Ming, it also suddenly drilled back into the ground and disappeared.
The feeling of being restrained disappeared.
With high agility points, Chen Ming easily adjusted his posture in mid-air, and then landed lightly on the ground, unscathed.
But the stench on his body did not dissipate at all.
This made him frown with a high degree of realism.
"I was actually sent here by a giant beast..."
"Interesting."
"Is this the Forbidden Abyss?"
Chen Ming was about to observe his surroundings.
Suddenly.
There was a surge in the upper right corner of his screen.
Then, several bright red numbers suddenly appeared.
8:00:00!
While he was stunned, the numbers jumped.
7:59:59!
7:59:58!
This is...
Countdown!
"So, I can only stay in this copy... for 8 hours."
