Chapter 811: Chapter 405: I, Mu You, have invested in this project!

From the comic strips drawn by Virgo, it appeared that the cat people lived in the swamps. Food wasn’t a problem for them, but for the cleanliness-loving feline race, the swamp environment was indeed a source of suffering.

Then there was the issue of their nocturnal nature. The cat people had considered relocating to Dark City before, but unfortunately, they were rejected by the Dark Elves. The reason was that many, including Dark Queen Fred, were allergic to cats...

But now, with the advent of the City of Eternal Night, it presented a better alternative for the cat people than Dark City: the City of Eternal Night, floating in the sky, maintained the characteristic of eternal night, and yet there was no need to stay underground in a confined, dark place all the time. If they wished to bask in the sunlight, they could simply leave the city at any time, making it an ideal gathering place for the cat people!

In fact, Virgo had personally come to the Star Spirit World this time to help contest for the City of Eternal Night, and part of her intention was to inspect the environment for her race.

The results pleased her, especially seeing the treatment that the Blood Clan received after they had relocated. It further solidified her determination to help her race move there.

"Welcome,"

Mu You readily agreed to Virgo’s request.

Unlike the Werewolves who had conflicts with the Vampires and would fight daily, the cat people posed no such issues.

The cat people, currently without any negative rumors, were a very low-key race with a total population of only about seven hundred. To Sky City, which could accommodate a population of hundreds of millions, their addition wouldn’t even cause a ripple.

"Thank you," said Virgo, lifting up the cardboard with a ’relieved’ emoticon below the text.

Virgo then left a Teleportation Array on the city and took her leave, presumably teleporting back to the swamp to notify her people of this news.

"Little Ya, is the city’s population full yet?" Mu You went to find Little Ya, prepared to have her reserve some space for the cat people.

Little Ya was still busy operating the City Lord’s Book at the central desk in the City Lord’s Castle.

"Not yet..."

"How much is left?"

"There’s still... 1.24 million left..."

"That many?" Mu You was taken aback.

A newly created city had an initial population limit of ten million, yet even after six or seven hours since the advent of the City of Eternal Night, only a little over eight million had been admitted?

Back when Dawn City first emerged, each intake was instantly full. Even the recently emerged Starlight and Dark Night Cities were filled within a matter of minutes. So why was the City of Eternal Night so slow in comparison?

"Did you set any conditions for admitting people?" Mu You asked, looking at her curiously.

"I didn’t set any. I’ve accepted everyone who signed up..." Little Ya said, a bit aggrieved, showing the City Lord’s Book to Mu You.

Mu You stepped forward to take a look.

Indeed, the application screen was empty. Everyone who signed up was added, and yet there were still so few. This could only mean that the players’ willingness to apply was very low.

Mu You frowned and pondered for a moment, quickly understanding the reason.

The biggest issue was still the environment of the City of Eternal Night.

For nocturnal races, the City of Eternal Night’s perpetual darkness was paradise, but for regular people, it was a major hassle.

Normal players didn’t have Night Vision capabilities. In the City of Eternal Night, they would have to ensure lighting at all times for any activity they did, increasing the difficulty of mining and various other tasks substantially, drastically reducing work efficiency. Naturally, given a choice, people would be reluctant to come.

Another important reason was that all twelve cities had already emerged, with Dawn City even heading straight for the status of a level five city. When it reached level five, the population limit would jump from fifty million to one hundred million, instantly providing an additional fifty million slots!

Rather than competing for the one million population limit in the City of Eternal Night’s unique environment, it made more sense to wait for the five million slots that would open up in Dawn City after some time. From any angle, Dawn City had a clear advantage over the City of Eternal Night.

Not to mention, other Sky Cities were also rapidly leveling up, and it was foreseeable that, for a while, the demand for new players in each city would significantly increase.

Simply put, population slots in Sky City were no longer as scarce as before. With plenty of cities to choose from, players naturally began to become choosy.

Many players who had yet to join a Sky City were actually ’waiting with their tickets’. After all, both joining and leaving a Sky City had limitations, and most players would want to join leading cities as soon as possible to enjoy more benefits and new features.

Combining both aspects, this was the dilemma the City of Eternal Night faced: difficulty in recruiting inhabitants.

Of course, the level 0 population limit of ten million would definitely be reached eventually, but it would mostly consist of lower-level players. As the city level increased and the population limit expanded, the gap between the City of Eternal Night and other cities would become increasingly obvious.

"Boss, what should we do about this?" Little Ya cautiously inquired, looking up at Mu You.

Having served as Deputy City Lord in Dawn City for quite some time, she clearly understood the importance of population to a Sky City.

Without a population, there would be a lack of labor force, which would hinder the city’s development speed. Others would be even less willing to come if the development lagged, thereby creating a vicious cycle...

"About that... if there’s no population, then let’s create one!" Mu You mused for a moment before suddenly saying.

"Ah? Cre-create a population..." Little Ya blushed. She could understand in real life, but... can a population be created even in a game?
