Chapter 537: Chapter 308: Ten Million Residents_2

Mu You was not in a rush. The extra attack provided by the Scarecrow cut-off at its limit and his experience bar had hit a bottleneck at level fifteen, temporarily unable to level up.

Before leaving, Mu You had some free time. He took Little Spider and phoenix Huo Huo and wandered aimlessly around the city, picking up leftover fish and shrimp.

These were Magic Fish Species brought up from the seabed by Dawn City. When the seawater receded, most of these fish and shrimp were unable to escape in time and had dried up and died. Only a few lucky ones that landed in low-lying water pits managed to survive.

Most of those that had died had already disappeared and respawned at the seabed. But quite a number of fish and shrimp, which had less than one year of life left, didn’t get the chance to revive. Their corpses remained in the city.

Fish and shrimp were perishable and would spoil very quickly. There were so many that it wasn’t possible to collect them all. Mu You had given the instruction, "Eat as many of the dead fish and rotten shrimp as you can — they’re yours to enjoy!"

Little Spider was overjoyed. This kind of unlimited food supply was exactly what its gluttonous stomach craved — it opened its abdomen and began to devour the food.

Huo Huo, on the other hand, was less enthusiastic. Being a fire element divine beast, it didn’t care much for aquatic creatures. It casually picked up a few items to eat, and spent the rest of its time accompanying Mu You in his wandering.

Mu You was busy searching for the surviving fish and shrimp. There weren’t many of them, and he couldn’t take care of too many at once. So, he selectively picked up the precious Magic Fish, tossed them into the water-filled bag, and asked the mermaid to look after them to prevent the larger fish from eating the smaller ones.

During their respective tasks, daytime came and went quickly, and it was soon time to close up shop.

The group used the Teleportation Array to return to the Snowfield, took out various items and packaged them up or transferred them. They sent each creature back through the door one by one.

Apart from the newly-obtained batch of fish, the Little Sprite and the Wisdom Tree were the most important.

After Mu You and the group returned, Lin Hai quickly left after saying hello. It seemed that an urgent matter came up at the business alliance, and they had been calling him all afternoon. However, Lin Hai insisted on waiting for them to return before securing his departure.

Once all the items that should be transferred had been moved over without any items missed, Mu You closed the door right on time at five in the evening, ending today’s adventure into the Star Spirit World.

Mu You finally breathed a sigh of relief after the door closed and stood on his own territory.

Today’s harvest was indeed rich: he had become the Lord of Dawn City and obtained a bodyguard from the Octopus King, a Dragon Taming Stone, a batch of Magic Fish, a Little Sprite... Also, not forgetting the bloated Little Spider after feasting.

From morning to afternoon, Little Spider had been busy feasting in Dawn City for over ten hours. In the end, it became plump with bulging stomach. It was impossible to calculate how much energy it consumed in that time. However, it is certain that it won’t need to eat anything for quite some time...

After some simple cleaning, Mu You took out his mobile phone, powered it on, and logged into the game.

The notices in the game were indeed different than those in the Star Spirit World.

Upon logging in, Mu You immediately discovered that the game interface has changed.

In the top left corner of the screen, there were two new highlighted icons labeled ’City’ and ’City Lord.’

Under these icons were the specific interfaces for ’City’ and ’City Lord,’ each with its own extensive and detailed functionality options.

[ City ]

[ Current Sky City ownership: City of Dawn. ]

[ Current Property: City Lord’s Castle. ]

[ Current Public Buildings Available: Level 1 Scarecrow Training. ]

...

[ City Lord ]

[ Current city level: Level 0 (City level equals the City Lord’s Castle level.) ]

[ Current available city materials: None. ]

[ Current population: 3/10 million. ]

[ Current Construction List: ... ]

[ Current Flying Altitude: 745 meters. ]

[ Current Cruise Destination: Cook Islands. ]

[ Current City Entry Applications: 3.2 billion+ ]

...

The ’City’ interface was likely available to all regular residents of the game, while the ’City Lord’ interface was exclusive to Mu You. For Lin Xue and Little Ya, their corresponding positions in the game showed ’Deputy City Lord.’

This exclusive position interface allowed him to choose whether to hide his ID. If he chose to hide it, others won’t know he’s the City Lord when he’s moving within Sky City, and when he speaks as City Lord, others will only see ’City Lord’ without any specific ID.

Mu You didn’t mind either way because he had an Avatar Card and everyone already knew he was the City Lord. So, whether he hid it or not made no difference.

Lin Xue and Little Ya both chose to hide their IDs for convenience in future actions.

However, the first thing that caught Mu You’s attention was a ’City Lord Task’ badge at the bottom of the ’City Lord’ interface.

[ This Week’s City Lord Tasks. ]

[ Task One: Population is the primary productivity. Within one week, increase your city’s population to above 10 million. Completion Reward: City Lord Evaluation +1. Failure: City Lord Evaluation -5. ]

[ Task Two: Within one week, increase your city level to LV1. Completion Reward: City Lord Evaluation +1. No penalty for failure. ]

[ Task Three: Within one week, construct or upgrade 10 buildings, current (1/10). Completion Reward: City Lord Evaluation +1. No penalty for failure. ]

"So evaluations can be obtained through tasks!"
