Chapter 539: Chapter 309: Heated Construction in Dawn City_1

Celestial Dynasty.

Ever since news broke out in the morning that Dawn City had been established, most people had submitted their applications to enter the city almost immediately, and yet no replies had come by the afternoon. The forum was void of any posts boasting about successful applications.

Many people were confused. Was the Lord of Dawn City not planning on letting others join?

Until now, almost ten million people had their applications approved nearly simultaneously!

These lucky early birds received notifications in the game immediately. Moreover, every player would be directly transported to their corresponding Sky City when they joined for the first time.

Thus, countless players began to land silently all around the central square of Dawn City, which was previously desolate.

Meanwhile, the domestic forum on Fool’s website was instantly abuzz.

"Fuck, I’m in! I’m a resident of Dawn City now!" A lucky gamer thrilledly bragged about their new status.

"Me too!"

"Same here!"

"I’m so touched, I thought I wasn’t going to get in today..."

...

Instantly, this post became a gathering place for the first wave of official residents, with countless "+1" replies flooding in.

"Wow, so many pros! Everyone around me is above level 10!"

"Same here, haven’t seen a single one below level 10..."

"Makes sense, the intermediate-level players I know have pretty much all been chosen. The only one who didn’t get selected just stupidly withdrew his application, he’s crying right now..."

"So, does this mean they’re only accepting players above level 10? Are we newbies not good enough?"

"Duh, haven’t you ever played a city-building game? It’s crucial to construct quickly in the beginning, of course they’d prefer the pros!"

"Just realized, there are so many Chinese IDs! The players from Celestial Dynasty account for at least 60%!"

"Well, obviously, considering Ghost Captain is a pro from our country! Under the same circumstances, of course our countrymen would get priority!"

"Ghost Captain rocks!"

"I hope other pros in our country could put in more effort too, try to seize as many cities as possible!"

"Right, us ordinary players are counting on you pros."

"I feel like this isn’t fair!"

"Sky City should be a treasure shared equally by all humans. There should be no geographic discrimination!"

"We strongly demand ’Ghost Captain’ to distribute the city entrance quotas equally among players around the world!"

"Seconded!"

"+1!"

...

Suddenly, a string of dissatisfied comments sprung up, all criticizing this preferential allocation method.

At first, others were taken aback. Wasn’t this a normal situation? What was there to object to?

Upon closer inspection of the IDs, they found that all these naysayers were foreign players. No big deal then.

Obviously, these foreign players who came to stir trouble on the domestic forum were immediately attacked by the local gamers. They fired off round after round of biting insults, their underlying message being: "If you’re not satisfied, get your country’s pros to seize a city!"

The ’Fair Fighters’ quickly disappeared under the onslaught, but not before sounding a warning bell for all.

Beforehand, most ordinary players were hopeful about Sky City, but they mostly just wanted the city to open as soon as possible. They didn’t really care about who would become the City Lord.

It wasn’t until the information that erupted on the forum now did they suddenly understand the importance of the City Lord’s role.

Whichever country’s pro became the City Lord could ensure their fellow nationals a greater chance of entering Sky City sooner.

In a sense, this was also a competition between countries in a more obscure way. Whichever country controlled more Sky Cities would hold more influence in the global arena.

The forum was in an uproar, with some rejoicing, some worrying, and some just full of anticipation. Regardless, the first wave of ten million people had already filled up, the rest could only wait for the second wave or the opening of other cities.

Meanwhile, in the game, Mu You had already published the city rules and instructions to all residents in the capacity of the City Lord.

[Ghost Captain: Attention to all residents of Dawn City.]

[Ghost Captain: Our city has now been established. However, it is currently at level 0 with a low population limit. There are still many eager players unable to join. So, next we need to level up the city as quickly as possible. This task requires everyone to work closely together.]

[Ghost Captain: The method to level up the city is very simple, which is to collect materials. As for the method to collect materials, it’s even more simple: they are everywhere under your feet!]

[Ghost Captain: Subsequently, all residents are required to disassemble the commonplace architectural ruins in the city and excavate various materials from them.]

[Ghost Captain: Since these architectural ruins belong to Dawn City, materials excavated can’t be stored in your bags, nor can they be taken out of Dawn City. All materials excavated should be submitted directly in the game, which will automatically be absorbed by the city and become a part of its assets. Submitters will also get varying amounts of experience and Fool Prestige in return, depending on the value of the materials.]

[Ghost Captain: Fool Prestige is one of the common currencies inside Sky City, extremely valuable. In the future, it can be used for transactions in various stores and buildings within Sky City. So, everyone, don’t worry about wasting your efforts. Each labor of yours will be rewarded, and will not be inferior to slaying wild monsters in the outside world...]

Mu You sent more than 20 consecutive long messages, outlining the situation of Dawn City at the moment and listing several city rules.
