A server wide announcement!
Awesome!
The moment this series of announcements appeared, the World Channel immediately exploded. New players who worshipped the God, veteran players who had no idea what was going on, and a bunch of players who asked "Is it too late to add Cola to the Fanatic Guild?" flooded in.
This was the first benefit that Air Bubble received after obtaining the City Creation Stone!
Fame.
Let's not talk about the various clubs in China. If most players were to rank the guilds in the Holy Ghost game, they would definitely be ranked first.
Bouncing Core would undoubtedly take first place. Cola Mania, which was more of a travel company than a large Guild, would probably be ranked third or fourth. As for second place, it would be Abyssal Shrine.
However, Bubble couldn't care less about the Guild's popularity or the Guild's ranking.
The instant the City Creation Stone disappeared, Air Bubble summoned his mount and brought Chairman Yin and the other three guild leaders back to their own guilds.
After entering the guild gates and dismounting, the Cola Mania players surrounded them.
"Pigheaded guild leader!
Where did you build a city? "
Mai Coffee was the first to run to Air Bubble. She didn't seem too excited … she was more curious.
This was the same as the other players in Cola Mania. Cola Mania's members didn't know the benefits of building a city.
The content provided in the stronghold was enough for Cola Mania's construction type players to play, but the construction of a city was too complicated.
If it was a game that specialized in building a city, perhaps some players would try it and even be passionate about it.
However, the Holy Ghost game was still an MMORPG. Building a city under this framework was far more difficult than fun.
As such, most of the players in Cola Mania were more curious about their guild leader building a city. They weren't excited about it, and some were even worried.
Most MMORPGs had a system like building a stronghold, but there had never been such a bold system like building a city.
"Isn't it here?" Air Bubble was only concerned about where his City Creation Stone had gone.
After he chose to build a city, the stone disappeared. At first, Air Bubble thought that Cola Mania's stronghold would be upgraded and a bunch of strange buildings would appear out of nowhere.
However … there was nothing!
"Here?
Pig-Headed leader, there's no change in the stronghold at all!
Did you really choose to build the city in the foothold? "Coffee was puzzled by Air Bubble's questions.
She had been in the stronghold since she left the Air Bubble. She hadn't left the stronghold until the system announcement was made, but nothing had changed!
"Wait … Let me see."
Air Bubble calmed himself down and opened the interface of the Cola Mania Stronghold. The interface showed the resources stored in the stronghold and the construction area of the stronghold.
Cola Fanatic's Stronghold Seed had been upgraded 13 times, and it had grown from 120 square meters to 700 square meters. After eating a City Creation Stone, the Stronghold Seed's Stronghold Seed's construction area remained at 700 square meters.
"What's going on … why aren't there any new options?"
Air Bubble was confused. He carefully looked at the interface of the foothold construction. There were no new options. The only change was that the name of the foothold had been changed from Cola Fever Foothold to Holy Spirit City.
The three words' Holy Spirit City 'told Air Bubble that his City Creation Stone had worked … it had the effect of changing the name of the foothold.
"Leader, did you choose the wrong location to build the city?" one of Cola Fanatic's builders asked carefully.
"There's only one option to upgrade the stronghold. How could I choose the wrong one?
Could it be … a bug? "
Air Bubble was so anxious that his forehead was about to break out in cold sweat. His brows were tightly knitted.
This City Creation Stone wasn't his problem alone. Air Bubble didn't care about the opinions of the other three guilds, but Boss Yin … Air Bubble was very concerned about the cooperation between him and Boss Yin.
Most importantly, he couldn't embarrass himself in front of Boss Yin and give him a chance to laugh at him!
Therefore, a pressure that he hadn't felt in a long time engulfed Air Bubble.
This pressure made Air Bubble want to open the official website to find the Holy Spirit Guild's officials … to reason with them.
However, before Air Bubble could open the official website and find the Holy Spirit Guild's officials to write a 1,000,000 word essay, a figure wearing a black robe and a hood instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the guild.
The figure walked to the entrance of the Cola Fanatic's ancient tree. What attracted everyone's attention was her ID, as well as the line of words under her ID.
"Lost Freya." Originally, Freya being the NPC at the end was already very attractive. Below her was a functional label that said "Holy Spirit City Construction".
"Holy Spirits, thank you for finding this lost Divinity Shard."
Freya pulled down the hood on her head and revealed her true appearance in front of the Cola Fanatic players.
This was a lost Freya. The players on Brandt Island were very familiar with her, but also very unfamiliar with her.
The reason they were familiar with her was that this Freya had appeared in the CG in the game. It was the CG where she was saved by Queen Mey. She would also issue a bunch of missions to maintain the ecology of Brandt Island on Brandt Island.
The reason they were unfamiliar with her was that the players were conflicted … "Whose Freya is this?"
After this lost Freya appeared on Brandt Island, this discussion never stopped on the Holy Spirit Guild's forum. Who wouldn't panic when their Freya went missing?
Now, when the Cola Fanatic players saw this Freya … appearing in the stronghold as a city construction consultant, they had an accurate guess in their hearts.
It was very likely … the lousy game planner's Freya, or the official Freya prototype.
"Before you use this Divinity Shard, I have something to say." Jiang Qiao's Freya stood calmly in front of everyone.
But Air Bubble wasn't calm!
"There's a tutorial for beginners?
Skip, skip! "
Air Bubble was anxious to understand what the city construction system was like. When Freya's dialog box popped up in front of him, his first reaction was to press the skip button.
But when he stretched out his hand to press the skip button, the silver manager beside him reached out to hold onto Air Bubble's arm. But the distance was too far, and the silver manager was clumsy and couldn't catch up.
Instead, Sprite, who noticed this, clenched her left hand. The moment cold air seeped out of her hand, it froze Air Bubble's arm that was trying to press the skip button.
"Sprite, what are you doing?"
Air Bubble was stunned when he saw the 'You have been attacked by player Sprite. Defend yourself within a limited time' notification.
This wasn't the first time Air Bubble had been PvP with Sprite, so he was used to it.
"Guild Leader Air Bubble, we have plenty of time. We can listen to her until the end."
The silver manager explained on behalf of Sprite. At the same time, he turned to the other guild leaders and the spectating players. "Aren't you all curious about how to play the city construction system and what benefits it has?
Now listen to this … lost Miss Freia's narration. "
Jiang Qiao's Freya played the role of a guiding robot. The dim City Creation Stone that Air Bubble had been holding previously appeared in her hands.
"Holy Spirit, what you've found is a broken shard of Godhood. The shard contains a city that has lost its vitality. Your duty is to bring new life to this city. If you want to bring this city back to life, you'll need to let more living beings with divinity settle in it."
As Freya spoke, the Holy Spirit's official request … the initial SR card that every player would receive when they drew a card, the God of the Lake came online.
She timidly walked into Cola's stronghold. This performance was arranged by Jiang Qiao, so Jiang Qiao had enough information on the God of the Lake. Moreover, living with Jiang Qiao didn't seem to be a bad thing.
So, under the gazes of the Cola fanatics, the God of the Lake tiptoed and touched the broken Divinity Shard in Freya's hands.
[The God of the Lake has become a resident of Holy Spirit City.
]
[Holy Spirit City Population + 10000, Water Resources + 5000, Holy Lake can be built, Fragrant Fountain can be built, God of the Lake will build Holy Fishing Grounds in the city in the near future …]
When these two notifications popped up in front of all the players in Cola's stronghold, most of them instantly understood the gameplay of the city building system!
The core gameplay was actually the same as building a stronghold, which was equivalent to expanding the stronghold's content by two times. It could also be said to be a super large DLC.
However, the NPCs that resided in Holy Spirit City, such as the Gods, could unlock the construction of special terrains for the players, as well as increase the population and the production of various resources.
If the players needed to collect the various mineral resources produced by the Mother Crystal Seed when building a stronghold, then building a city might be collecting Gods and creatures with divinity from all directions.
"The amount of Gods needed to repair the Divinity Shard is more than I thought."
Silver looked at the publicly available data of Holy Spirit City. The population was clearly marked as a necessary indicator for leveling up the city.
"Repair?"
Air Bubble was a little confused. Shouldn't the normal thinking be to level up the city?
"No, it's nothing, Air Bubble … Ask Freya if there are any other ways to recruit Gods," Silver said.
The number of Gods in the City of Pantheon on the Black Tide Island was still too little, and it would take a long time to convince the Gods to settle down in Holy Spirit City. Silver was wondering if there were other ways to recruit God NPCs.
Silver's question was also in the default options for Freya's dialogue. Air Bubble didn't even need to think too much, he just clicked on the default option.
"Holy Spirit, this is the most important part. The establishment of your city will officially announce your existence to the millions of worlds, which will attract many living beings. They might come to visit because they admire your power, or they might hate you. As the lord of a city, Holy Spirit, are you willing to take this risk?" Freya asked.
"Yes … Yes!" Air Bubble didn't really hear what Freya said, but he understood the key content.
However, he understood the key point. The city would attract some new NPCs, just like the NPCs that spawned in the talent recruitment market.
However, these NPCs had come to the city for sightseeing. Some of them were neutral NPCs, while others were hostile NPCs who had come to cause trouble for the Divine Spirits.
No matter what kind of NPC it was, Air Bubble welcomed them. Air Bubble could consider recruiting neutral NPCs, and hostile NPCs could be killed as Bosses.
To the players, having a Boss to kill … was sometimes much happier than having a neutral character to recruit.
"The first Holy Spirit City Lord, please accept these three building blueprints as a gift," Freya took out three Legendary building blueprints and handed them to Air Bubble after the plot was over.
Air Bubble shared the blueprints in the channel as soon as he received them.
The three blueprints were "City Hall," "Pantheon Monument," and "Star Map Hub."
There was nothing much to say about the City Hall. It was one of the most important buildings in the city. In this building, people could be used to … purchase land?
Alright … the part that Air Bubble was most concerned about was that the City Hall needed to be built within a range of 300 meters from the ancient tree in the Stronghold, which was equivalent to building it next to Freya's room.
From this point of view, even if the Stronghold was upgraded to a city, Freya would still be the core of the core. After all, the Stronghold … or the ancient tree in the city hid the City Stone.
The Pantheon Monument was just a decorative building. The building could display the number of Gods currently residing in the city and their names.
The last and most important building was the Star Map Hub!
It was a key building used to connect the various planes of the Star Map.
"F * ck!"
Air Bubble took the three blueprints and without thinking, he immediately gathered the players in his guild to start working.
Seeing the enthusiastic atmosphere, Silver didn't think of stopping them. After all, the building could be demolished and rebuilt in the end.
Building houses in the City Building System was much easier than building a Stronghold. First of all, the City Building System had preset houses for players to choose from. Players only needed to collect enough materials, and just like in real-time strategy games, they could just casually click and watch the building being built while lying down.
Of course, some veteran players could also build their own buildings. The three buildings that Cola Maniac wanted were built by Air Bubble. He didn't build according to the preset type of buildings in the System. Instead, he completed the minimum requirements of the blueprints and started working on it.
The construction of the City Hall took some time, but the Star Map Hub was completed very quickly. The architectural style of the Star Map Hub looked like … the style of an arena.
That was the only evaluation Silver could give. The construction of the Star Map Hub was Little Feather's responsibility. Ever since the Black Tide Island battle, Little Feather had entered the standard of 'building something must first consider whether it could take a beating!'.
Everything he built was based on the construction of defensive strongholds.
There was a possibility of dangerous monsters appearing in the Star Map Hub, so Little Feather directly created a small arena. The defensive facilities were so perfect that it could be used as a small dungeon.
"How about … activating the Teleportation Beacon first?"
Cola Maniac's group and the leaders of the various large guilds came to the center of the Star Map Hub. In the center, there was a round table with dim stars projected on it. This round table was the core of the Star Map Hub.
Teleportation Beacon.
"Let me do it!"
Air Bubble had been looking forward to this day for a long time!
He placed his hands on the side of the round table, and an option instantly appeared in front of Air Bubble.
[Please select the current City Event!
Option Description: City Events will determine the inclination of outsiders who visit your city. Level 1 cities can have three events at once.
]
It was another new system. Air Bubble swiped and saw a list of several City Events.

[2. God Eater's Hidden Treasure (Legendary-level): The God Eater's creations are extremely popular treasures on the Star Map, but they are only limited to premium items. If you choose this event, you must use a large number of Legendary-level weapons as a bargaining chip to attract treasure hunters to your city.
Requirements: Legendary Equipment x25, 200 Divine Crystals, or 10 Lord Grade Mother Crystals.]

]
[6. Brandt Island's Fastest Legend!
Mount Stampede Competition: …]
[7. No one can escape my aim!
Shooting Showdown: …]
…
There were a lot of events in the event options. If these events were to be developed in detail, there would be many explanations, including how to organize the event.
Air Bubble could treat these events as an event. He would organize the event for the NPCs on the Star Map, and what he had to do was make these events lively enough to attract many talents on the Star Map to settle in his city.
So the question was … which events should he choose first?
