Ksitigarbha! A being shrouded in countless legends on Blue Star, one who stands alongside Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, appeared here! And in the form of a young novice monk, it was simply unbelievable.
However, Ye Yun was unaware that he was currently swamped. He was no longer pursuing the extermination of the Ghost Race but focused on destroying cities. Thus, he directly sent his four thousand subordinates back to Fengle City, and he, along with Black Ant and Golden Crow, swiftly attacked one Ghost Race city after another.
In the second hour, Ye Yun had destroyed twelve Ghost Race main cities, almost one every five minutes! This speed caused an uproar on Blue Star, and even throughout the Ghost Race!
"Zhou Ningdong, what's the global situation now?" After two hours of continuous attacks, Ye Yun sat on the back of the Golden Crow, looking at the Ghost Race cities below, and couldn't help but initiate a voice call with Zhou Ningdong.
"General, there are less than thirty main cities remaining on Blue Star! The real world's entire Middle East has begun to stir." Zhou Ningdong quickly replied upon hearing Ye Yun's question.
"What about Shangjing City? Has it been defended?"
"General, ten minutes ago, Shangjing City barely repelled the second wave of Ghost Race players. If it weren't for the general continuously capturing so many cities, increasing their attributes for most players, they likely wouldn't have survived the second wave. Just now, Elder Song and a few others contacted us, asking if we have any high-end combat power that can be dispatched for reinforcement."
"Reinforcement? These fellows really have the nerve to ask. Just in Fengle City alone, their people occupy four to five million. Now, with this map merging, they've siphoned off eighty percent to defend Shangjing City, and they still want more?"
Reinforce? Reinforce for what? Are they trying to cultivate forces that can rival Fengle City?
Moreover, Ye Yun had captured sixteen Ghost Race main cities, increasing each resident of Fengle City by a full 160,000 attribute points! Was it possible that the reinforcements he provided them would be insufficient?
"But the Five Elders called simultaneously, saying that if Shangjing City is defended, they will give us half of Shangjing City's future profits." Zhou Ningdong said, feeling wronged, as he looked at Ye Yun's angry expression.
"Half the profits? What's going on?" Ye Yun was somewhat stunned upon hearing Zhou Ningdong's words.
"Elder Song said that when they accepted the task of defending Shangjing City, they triggered a hidden quest issued by the City Lord of Shangjing City. If players can help him defend the main city's level, then half of the main city's future profits will be awarded to that player."
"That player?"
"Yes, that player has already been absorbed. If we can help them defend Shangjing City, we can directly sign a Heavenly Dao contract with that player, and we can indirectly obtain one-fourth of Shangjing City's total profits."
"General, what do you think about this matter..." Zhou Ningdong asked cautiously towards the end. From a self-interest perspective, Zhou Ningdong definitely hoped to take on this task, but the final decision rested with Ye Yun.
"This is a good thing! You go find that guy and sign the contract, then send two thousand people from the third and fourth legions. The first and second legions will remain to defend Fengle City." Refusing such a good opportunity would be foolish. He wondered which guy was lucky enough to receive such a quest.
Upon hearing about potential profits, Ye Yun's expression instantly changed. If this were a video call, his general's imposing demeanor would likely be greatly diminished.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
In the game, whether it was equipment, skills, or other things, it all boiled down to one word: gold.
Without gold, even a heaven-defying profession like Xiao Tong's couldn't be mastered. With gold, you could buy attributes, buy equipment, even buy skills, and gain the capital to become stronger. As for the poor, like Ye Yun in his previous life, they could only accumulate through killing monsters and grow step by step.
Lost in thought, Ye Yun opened the Heavenly Dao forum to check the specific situation across Blue Star.
The special forces of the United States of America had joined forces with the Forbes Alliance, along with over a dozen large and small financial consortiums defending the City of Freedom in the United States of America.
The Western European countries were similar. The Germanic states and the Knight's Order had also merged. In this chaotic situation, they also banded together for warmth, attempting to preserve some of their main cities in Western Europe. However, compared to the United States of America, they were too scattered.
"I wonder how many main cities will be left on Blue Star after three days." Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh as he read the information swirling on the Heavenly Dao forum.
The disappearance of a nation's main city meant that the professional growth of many of that nation's players had reached an end, unable to acquire mid-to-late game professional skills or even self-enhancement!
However, he was just one person, and defending the two main cities of China had already been exhausting.
Exiting the forum, Ye Yun looked at the main city below, leaped from the Golden Crow's back, and was immediately met with a flood of system notifications...
On the first day, Fengle City defeated eleven player forces from the Ghost Race, and Shangjing City defeated seven. Ye Yun, however, had destroyed a staggering 162 main cities of the Ghost Race, a feat that even the three great saints of the Ghost Race found heartbreaking.
The consequence was that the overall strength of the defending players in both Fengle City and Shangjing City had more than doubled! Defending cities was no longer as strenuous as it was at the beginning. These attribute points seemed to have little effect on the members of the Dragon Palace.
After the third and fourth legions garrisoned Shangjing City, they shed their previously low-profile demeanor. Mu Ziming, the taciturn one, led a thousand men from the fourth legion out to engage the enemy three times, each time with a thousand men against over a million enemies. Jin Zhiyuan, that girl, was no different, commanding five pets to lead the charge, while she herself led a thousand troops through millions of enemies, back and forth.
All of this was edited into videos by some players and uploaded to the forum, making Ye Yun's legions instantly famous.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player for leveling up, obtaining 307200 trillion free attribute points. Current level: 61."
"System Notification: Congratulations to player 'Gold Finger' for cooling down period ending, player can now use skill 'Gold Finger' again."
Having killed hundreds of millions of Ghost Race players, Ye Yun's level finally increased again. More importantly, his innate skill 'Gold Finger,' which Ye Yun had almost forgotten, could now be used again!
