Chapter 558: Chapter 315 Flying Club_2

The moment the connection was completed, the residents of both cities received a system notification, announcing that the era of the Fool’s freedom to come and go had finally arrived.

Of course, teleportation is not unlimited; every ordinary resident will need to consume 10 points of Fool Prestige, equivalent to about a year of life expectancy, for each use. Saying it is expensive wouldn’t be precise, but if teleportation were to be used as frequently as taking the subway, average people would not be able to bear the cost.

Mu You, who holds the title of ’Star of the Broken Tower,’ can ride all the teleportation arrays in Sky City for free, so he has no such concerns.

After the teleport link was established, he was the first to teleport to the City of Dawn to look around.

[You have arrived at the central square of the City of Dawn via teleportation array.]

[A scene of fluttering yellow sand surrounds you, the climate here is quite different from Dawn City; the lack of moisture, yet abundance of sunlight, gives the air a sense of constantly rising heat.]

[You see countless Fools working under the scorching sun on the streets, willfully demolishing abandoned buildings and extracting various construction materials...]

[On the edge of the city, simple city walls are being raised, and amidst them, watchtowers and arrow towers...]

After the city’s level was raised, the building choices differed from his own. Temples were not built. Instead, defensive structures like city walls and arrow towers were prioritized.

This was normal, since they did not have the legendary creature, the Octopus King, to serve as a city-protecting Divine Beast. The city’s defense relied solely on the players for now.

As for Dawn City, there had already been several pirate attacks in the last couple of days. People were completely unaware because the pirates were crushed by the Octopus King before they could even act.

In this desert, although there are no pirates, there are ’Desert Sky Thieves’ who ride flying Magical Beasts and specialize in robbing caravans and mercenary groups. Objects as valuable as Sky City become the first choice for the Sky Thieves, who started harassing them in droves within the day of its appearance. However, the players repelled all these attacks.

Nevertheless, having players defend the city comes at a cost. One or two times are okay, but after several attacks, the city’s development would stall, and the economy could easily be dragged down.

So after the city was upgraded, Solomon had no choice but to prioritize defensive buildings. In reality, this is the inevitable choice for most Sky Cities. Dawn City, which was gifted a Divine Beast, is a unique case.

Shaking his head, Mu You opened the ’Current City Panel’ and looked through the City’s rules in the City of Dawn as a reference.

Just as he opened it, he discovered a strange rule.

[City Rule 1 ’No Flight’: Due to the peculiarities of the Blue Stone Desert, all players entering the City of Dawn can only fly at low altitudes in the city. Flight should not exceed a height of one kilometer above the city surface, otherwise, it could easily be mistaken for Sky Thieves...]

A no flight rule... and it is even given top priority...

Mu You was puzzled. This rule made no sense. In the future, all residents of Sky City will have their flying mounts. It could be said that the sky will be the territory of the Fools in the future. Doesn’t banning flight mean self-handicapping?

As for the reason that it can easily be mistaken for Sky Thieves, that seems far-fetched. Players have their way of identifying each other. Only a Fool can impersonate another Fool. If outsiders come to impersonate a Fool, aren’t they asking for trouble?

"Could it be because of the news I told him yesterday?"

Mu You had an inkling and quickly contacted Solomon.

[Ghost Captain: What’s up with that top city rule of yours?]

[Solomon: Hmm?]

[Solomon: Wasn’t it what you said, God? We shouldn’t fly too high. The daily cruise height of the City of Dawn is between 2000-4000 meters. I was worried that the players would fly too high and exceed the limit of 5000 meters, so I set a no-fly height...]

Just as expected!

Mu You was left speechless. His warning not to fly too high was specific to Sky City itself and had no bearing on humans. Even if there was something in the high skies, only an entity as large as Sky City could draw its attention when flying at such heights.

For humans and other common organisms, the height at which they fly won’t matter. The simplest example: Foggy Mountain!

Foggy Mountain is as high as 9000 meters, and Mu You had personally set foot on its peak. Didn’t that fail to trigger any disaster?

As for anything higher, above 10,000 meters, that’s not a place where common organisms could reach.

Even at the peak of the 9,000-meter-high Foggy Mountain, the environment has become so harsh that normal organisms simply cannot survive. Higher than that, the environment becomes more and more severe, instantly killing any organism that dares to venture.

Of course, if players want to go to the high sky, they still have a way.

After Sky City is upgraded to LV5, it will unlock a special building called ’Eco Bubble’. This so-called ’Bubble’ will wrap the entire Sky City like a soap bubble, isolating the inside and outside environment of Sky City. Regardless of how harsh the external environment is, the inside of the bubble can always remain spring-like.

With the help of this bubble, Sky City could ascend to above 10,000 meters, a place where humans have never set foot, while still holding its inhabitants.
