Chapter 611: Chapter 335: The Public Enemy of Clockwork City_2

[The City of Scorching Sun has been successfully activated!]

[First City Lord: Hell Baron.]

Mu You was stunned for a moment, the news had indeed arrived, but Hell Baron? Who was that? Did Lion fail in his struggle?

Mu You frowned, but didn’t rush. About an hour later, a message from Lion indeed appeared on the forum.

"Boohoo, Boss, I failed!" Lion began by posting a crying emoticon.

"Who is this Hell Baron?" Mu You was curious.

"He’s one of my collaborators..."

"Oh? So, do you mean they played foul and stabbed you in the back?" Mu You asked.

"Not really, we signed a Blood Covenant of not attacking or harming each other for a year. Our cooperation was rather harmonious and we worked together right till the end, leaving all our competitors behind. However, at the final round, we agreed to have a free competition without any harm to each other. Whoever would reach would win. I was a bit unlucky, a step slower, and someone reached before me." Lion continued sending his crying emoticons, expressing no blame on his teammates. Instead, he readily admitted that he was outmatched and had no excuse for his loss.

Mu You stroked his chin and asked again: "Did it have anything to do with what happened with the World Walker last night?"

Given the fact that Lion had a secret technique and was supported by the magic power of others, his overall strength should be much higher than that of others. However, he still lost. It could partly be attributed to luck, but there might also have been other factors...

"Him? Impossible! Boss, stop joking. You think I’d lose the City Lord because of him?" Lion immediately refuted.

"Really? Not at all?" Mu You persisted.

"..." Lion fell silent, and after a while, he continued to type.

"Okay, I admit, there was a tiny bit of impact. I hesitated for a moment at the last second. I swear it was just a fleeting thought, and it cost me the opportunity, sigh..." Lion sent an emoticon that represented a bit of embarrassment, seemingly still dwelling on this.

However, he soon cheered up again and sent another message.

"Fortunately, boss, even though I didn’t snatch the city lord, at least our side secured the city lord firmly. Now, I have also been assigned the position of Deputy City Lord, which was part of the Blood Covenant we had before. Essentially, I am one-third of the decision makers, and I have the right to voice my opinion on general matters." Lion said.

The Blood Covenant between Lion and his collaborators was very strict, clearly delineating the areas of cooperation and the division of benefits once they had their hands on the goal. So even if he didn’t get the City Lord, his influence would be far beyond that of an ordinary Deputy City Lord. While Lion’s proposals may not necessarily be heeded by the Ruler of Sun City, they will certainly be considered significantly.

Having connections like this will make things much easier for the people from their association in the City of Scorching Sun in the future.

After finishing chatting with Lion, as usual, Mu You contacted the ’Hell Baron’ to inform him about the flight altitude precautions of Sky City.

After that, nothing happened in reality for a while, and Mu You could concentrate back on the game.

In Clockwork City, the Old Goblin and a host ofassistant robots were still working overtime to produce parts, while Mu You was busy doing various miscellaneous tasks.

He persevered until11 pm. Finally, the long-awaited message popped up.

[Old Goblin Barn is fully focused on operating the workbench, combining various small parts together...]

[The outline of a Power Furnace gradually forming, composed of numerous gears and densely packed wires, connected in a complex way that you can hardly understand, each piece fitting into the other, any slight tremor could potentially collapse the entire structure...]

[A moment later, Barney completes the final step of operation. The entire furnace, transported by the mechanical arm, is put into the alchemical pool for the final heating process...]

Mu You sighed deeply, having been used by this old guy for two days. At last, these nightmare days are coming to an end!

Now that all the components have been manufactured, and the assembly work is done, only the final refining process remains.

At this time, the Old Goblin was already too anxious to enjoy shoulder massages and foot baths. He was pacing around the hall restlessly, allowing Mu You to be free. So he stood on standby with the other assistant robots at the edge of the wall, idling about.

The refining process lasted for two hours.

It wasn’t until one in the morning that the completion of the refining process was finally prompted in the game.

[The fireproof mechanical arm dives into the fire and flame filled alchemy pool, pulling out a furnace, still extremely hot. As it was exposed to the air, the room filled up with steam instantly.]

[On the surface of the furnace, you see a lava-like fluid running, which seems rough, but you can still sense the extraordinary power inside of it, beating like a heart...]

[The mechanical arm moves the furnace into a pool of coolant at the side.]

[The high temperature quickly cools down, the originally red furnace body, in the transparent coolant, gradually cleanses the dirt and reveals the shining purple, smooth furnace body underneath!]

[Ancient Power Furnace: A replica of the Eternal Power Furnace, it can provide unimaginable robust power and charging efficiency, and can even drive up to three legendary accessories at the same time.]

[Upon seeing the Power Furnace successfully produced, Old Goblin Barn could not contain his excitement. He’s now only one step away from his new-style Mecha, a subject of his many years of research.]
