Main City Construction

After the CG sequence completely dissipated, lines of text appeared before the players' eyes.

[The Boundless Catastrophe has descended. Demons and evil spirits from another world run rampant across the mortal realm. In just a few short years, the world has been plunged into misery, and the beauty that once existed is no more. To protect the world, your homeland, and the beauty within your hearts, you have cast aside personal attachments and embarked on a path of resistance, crossing the spatial rift to arrive at the Boundless Realm...]

These few hundred words made the players understand their background in the game.

They were human warriors from the mortal realm, having come here to protect their world.

Although the mortal realm in the background was not the true mortal realm, but rather a fictional history Tang Yu had constructed using real historical footage, he had chosen this specific history from the Dark Fiend World for a reason.

If this battle were to fail, the ultimate fate of humanity would be the same as that of the Dark Fiend World.

Love, friendship, family... everything would cease to exist.

At the same time, the Dark Fiend World was very similar to the Earth where the humans resided; aside from the lack of abundant spiritual energy, the dominant species of the world was also human.

Therefore, this history allowed the players to have a stronger sense of immersion.

Tang Yu's goal was undoubtedly achieved.

Many players remained immersed in sorrow long after the background text faded, unable to pull themselves out of it.

At this moment, a game update notification sounded once again.

[Update Notification: Main City System officially opened]

Gazing at the dense list of special items and troops in the Contribution Shop, which spanned dozens of pages, the players were momentarily stunned before their emotions surged with excitement.

Main City construction? Contribution Points? Exchanging for special items?

Since Omnipotent God went live, players had been complaining in the discussion forums that the game lacked welfare quests to help newcomers, and that everything had to be earned from scratch, making the difficulty quite high.

But at this moment, the players knew their welfare had arrived.

Meanwhile, in the player respawn area on the east side of Dragon Scale Island, massive machines appeared, each featuring a twisting, rotating black hole at its center.

After players used "Analyze" to inspect them, the detailed data of the machines was revealed.

[Resource Crusher (Special)]

Item Details: Players can deposit acquired resources into the crusher to exchange them for Contribution Points.

Required items: stone, spirit ore, wood, mud, spirit material, etc.

Realizing that this machine was the "NPC" used to submit construction resources, a player immediately picked up a stone from the ground and tried tossing it into the black hole at the center of the machine.

The stone was swallowed by the black hole and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Less than a second later, a game notification rang in the player's mind.

[Game Notification: Submitted construction resource "Stone." After decomposition, obtained stone resources: 1.3 points]

[Game Notification: Do you choose to submit resources in exchange for contribution points?]

After the player chose to submit, a list of building options appeared before his eyes.

Dark Fiend City - Main Hall (Construction not yet started)

Dark Fiend City - Central Plaza (Construction not yet started)

Dark Fiend City - Weapon Forging Room (Construction not yet started)

Dark Fiend City - Pill Refining Room (Construction not yet started)

Dark Fiend City - Skill Training Room (Construction not yet started)

There were over a hundred building options on the list.

When the player clicked on the "Dark Fiend City - Main Hall" option, a phantom building appeared near the respawn point, with a progress bar at its center.

[Dark Fiend City - Main Hall (Under construction)]

Physical construction completion: 0.0000001%

Stunned for a moment, the player immediately posted his discovery in the regional chat channel.

"Holy crap, even rocks lying around can be submitted for the quest? I'm going to be rich!"

"This is definitely a welfare quest. I'm going to go pick up rocks; special unit, here I come!"

"Anyone want to team up to chop wood? Let's get rich together!"

"The contribution points for stone are too low. I think I'll go mining instead; I bet ore gives more contribution points!"

"The Dark Killing Set is so cool, I want it!"

In this moment, the players forgot their sorrow.

They began to take action one after another.

Some chose to chop wood, some chose to continue mining, and others went to the beach to dig for sand...

After the announcement appeared, the players' enthusiasm was ignited.

The players were filled with anticipation for this main city that was about to be born.

Beyond looking forward to the internal functional facilities once the main city was completed, the players were even more excited to finally have a home in the Second World instead of constantly wandering outside.

Especially since this Dark Fiend City was something they were building themselves, giving them a full sense of participation.

With the construction quest released, this day on Dragon Scale Island was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The entire Dragon Scale Island was filled with the figures of players wandering about.

The White Ape King, located on the south side of Dragon Scale Island, naturally noticed the unusual movements of the players.

Suspecting that the foreign invaders had ulterior motives, the White Ape King began to secretly observe the players' movements, wanting to prepare in advance.

However, after half a day of observation, the White Ape King was left bewildered by the players' behavior.

He discovered that this group of foreign invaders had no intention of encroaching on his territory, but were instead doing things that seemed completely illogical.

For example, pulling weeds, chopping trees, digging mud, and so on...

What made it even more incomprehensible was that while this group of foreign invaders was busy, their faces were filled with inscrutable smiles.

They looked as if they had struck gold.

After observing for the better part of the day, the White Ape King became even more certain of his guess.

This group of foreign invaders... were not quite right in the head.
