Ziwei Star's Impressions of the Mad King Building
Next to the blast furnace was a barracks area.
Rows of crimson metal prefabricated houses were stacked, each barracks about fifty meters apart. A bronze gong hung at the entrance of each barracks, and the black signboard was engraved with the words "Madness Barracks" in a special script. This script was not Earth script, but the script of the Blood Empire. Its spirit permeated the script, and even players without passive language literacy could understand what it meant.
The barracks were quiet, but through the windows one could see blood-red figures of varying heights and builds, some even aliens with wings.
These are not human beings, nor are they real soldiers.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing an officer's cap stepped out, accompanied by ten Mad Vanguard.
"Hey, Zheng Zaimang? You're training soldiers again? Ten at a time." Zhou Yuan said with a smile when he saw the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man is Mad Guard.
Centered around the Mad Guard class, the Mad Guard has built its own unique skill set, which can be used to train soldiers and improve the level of Mad Guard.
When faced with a harmless target, the Mad Vanguard cannot unleash its potential, but this step can be bypassed.
The prerequisite for becoming a member of the Mad Guard is to undergo rigorous training and upgrade one's skills; this is a fundamental responsibility of the Mad Guard.
When the Mad Guard was initially chosen, many new players took on the role because their skill sets were unspoiled and they had high potential for development.
"Hehe." Zheng Zaimang chuckled, not responding, but instead looking at Xu Ming and Chen Mu, saying, "New here?"
If the training yields results, the Mad King Residents' Committee will give commendations, and the rewards will be quite generous. He has recently been working on training a fifth-tier Mad Vanguard, and subconsciously he is unwilling to talk to others about training.
"Elder Chen Mu from the Extreme Yang Hall is here for the exchange," Zhou Yuan introduced, then added, "This should be the last batch of NPCs in the Star Dormitory."
Upon hearing the term "NPC," Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Next, more Mad Guard emerged from the barracks, which disgusted Chen Mu.
These Mad Vanguard always associated him with evil and heresy.
One day, when the dragon gets water, it will surely cause the Yangtze River to flow backward!
Whether it's Titan Building or Mad King Building, they should both be targets for elimination, including this chaotic and turbid world.
Unfortunately, he doesn't yet possess the power to create his own world; he still needs to lie low.
"This lofty ambition... is becoming less and less like me."
Chen Mu suddenly felt a little dazed.
He used to think he wasn't a man of great talent for governing the world, nor did he have the ambition to change the world. But ever since he came to the Mad King Community, for some reason, he felt that his perspective, ambition, and vision had been expanding.
Could it be a positive effect of improved cultivation?
It makes sense that the Celestial Being Warriors are all eccentric and arrogant.
Stepping out of the barracks area, the view suddenly opened up.
Chen Mu glanced ahead and saw a plaza. In the far distance of the plaza stood an observatory. At the very center and highest point of the observatory was a bronze instrument, with layers of bronze discs, rings, and tubes nested within each other. On top of this was a brightly polished bronze mirror, its surface facing the sky.
"Mr. Chen Mu is interested in divination? That's our Astrology Platform." Zhou Yuan gestured with his chin in that direction and said, "Although the level of the instruments in the Astrology Platform is unknown, they can still be used. You can use the instruments inside to measure celestial phenomena or observe Mist Zone."
Since the Dormitory Building was upgraded, the Astrology Platform has become the least dangerous Forbidden Land. Players enter it more like they are on a treasure hunt, and gradually figure out the uses of some of the original instruments on the Astrology Platform.
If it weren't for the Residents' Committee's explicit regulations, players would probably have already gone to great lengths to dismantle the Astrology Platform.
"The Stars are so vast that instruments alone cannot possibly reveal their full extent," Chen Mu finally spoke, his gaze slowly shifting from a mysterious symbol on the Astrology Platform.
He had never seen that line of symbols before, but he could understand their meaning.
--The day the stars return to their places will be the day our Lord returns.
"My lord? Does this refer to Great Emperor Gouchen, or Primordial Goddess Doumu?"
Chen Mu didn't quite understand.
"Hehe, your Mad King Building's Forbidden Land is quite interesting. I heard that the Dusk Veil might be the remains of the former Dusk Building? And there's an old woman inside who can grant any wish." Xu Ming suddenly slowed his pace and said with a smile.
"So you're allowed to Titan Building other buildings, but we're not allowed to?" Zhou Yuan retorted, then added, "That Wishing Old Woman is utterly disgusting. Every person who makes a wish dies, and she can refuse to fulfill her promises to the dead."
Mad King Building has the fastest development progress on Dusk Veil. This Dungeon has a very low death rate and a lot of good loot.
The Wishing Old Woman is a character that was only recently developed. At first, it was just a rumor, but it gradually became half true and half false, similar to Legendary that could be verified. However, Zhou Yuan would not verify it.
Why would Residents' Committee official, who was doing a perfectly good job, want to become a stubborn old man?
Unless there are specific tasks assigned.
But he's not a member of the Forbidden Land Strategy Team. What kind of mission would require to be called up? So he generally doesn't care about the situation in the Forbidden Land.
"Is that the Dusk Veil you're talking about? It's filled with such a heavy, malevolent aura." Chen Mu's gaze fell upon a building even more distant than the Astrology Platform, and he felt as if countless demons lurked within, exuding an overwhelming malevolent energy.
The building was a huge Western-style mansion.
The mansion was unlike any other building in the area; it was magnificent and enormous. The outer stone wall was four or five meters high, and inside were rows of old-fashioned Western-style buildings. The light there was so dark that it seemed as if the sun was setting.
This mansion consists of two exquisite row buildings, one on the left and one on the right. The roofs are smooth, and the exterior walls are covered with dark brown wood veneer. The wood surface has been polished by wind and rain to a shine, and the grain of the wood can be seen. It is not clear how many floors there are, but each floor has floor-to-ceiling windows one after another. The glass is covered with a layer of dark golden light. The light does not come from inside the room, but rather it is as if someone has blended the light into the glass.
At the center of these two townhouses is a huge black courtyard.
This is all you can see when looking straight ahead. Even from an overhead view, you can only see the general direction. There are folded spaces inside, and what you see inside is different from what you see from the outside.
"Tsk, don't say that. You have no idea how many players have made their fortunes in there." Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue, no longer interested in giving any further explanation, and silently led the way.
Chen Mu scanned the area and spotted a circular building in the distance.
This is a Arena. Two stone pillars stand at the entrance, with bronze plaques hanging on them, displaying the tournament schedule and rankings of combat strength.
Several players were standing in front of the bronze medal, looking at it. Someone was pointing at a name on the medal and talking to the person next to him.
The Arena is a stone building with a rough and violent style, its surface covered with sword strikes and bloodstains, showing signs of age.
Upon seeing this building, Chen Mu also felt a sense of foreboding.
But this actually put his mind at ease.
There are ominous things everywhere here, so his initial bad luck was indeed normal.
