Finale

Time passed slowly, and we were now nearing the end of version 2.0.

In the latter half of the year, Dawn City steadily grew stronger and stronger. Apart from fighting off the counterattacks of Dark Creatures every day, it did not encounter any enemies that could be called its rivals!

The Sloran's mission to fight back against the Dark Invasion and restore their kingdom also allowed Player to enjoy the sense of victory they were entitled to!

After all, the all-out attack by Dawn City didn't allow the Dark Creatures to roam freely for long before they were completely swept away. Apart from the fast-paced super war in the early stages, the Huaxia Player didn't experience the joy of fighting against the Dark Creatures at all...

They watched foreign Player struggle against Dark Creatures every day, posting their daily logs, which really frustrated Huaxia Player.

But ever since receiving the mission to help Sloran restore its kingdom, Player have once again had something to talk about regarding Dark Creatures.

And they can even arrogantly post on foreign websites. Look at our Dawn City, we finished our own battle and then helped others fight. You guys don't even have a single person who has restored their country yet, why are you struggling so much?

Anyway, the Forum is just a place where people argue and fight all day long.

Huaxia Player had a huge advantage in version 2.0; if they didn't brag about it all the time, they wouldn't be Player.

With the restoration of Sloran completed and the strong support of the Red Fire Kingdom, the name of the Dawn Mercenary Group has become widely known in the Southern Region. They have a wide variety of missions available, and their presence in any country's territory is filled with them.

This also confirms William's earlier words: there are so many tasks that there aren't enough people to go around.

Now we can only hope that the Player will level up quickly.

As for the Emerald Grand Duchy and the Lanyu Grand Duchy, they also began to utilize the power of Dawn City and assigned some tasks that they could not spare manpower to the Dawn Mercenary Group.

The covert warfare between the two countries often involves hiring fearless Player to wage a war of attrition, which certainly adds to the fun for many warlike Player.

Dawn City, as one of the Novice Village, is the spawn point chosen by the vast majority of Newbie Player.

Even today.

The total number of Player in Huaxia has reached 1 million, but the number of Player in Dawn City alone has climbed to 880,000, accounting for 80% of the total.

The other 20% of Player did not settle in the Blackrock Duchy, which lacked a strong military presence, but instead ambitiously ventured into the Emerald Grand Duchy and even the Red Fire Kingdom.

The number of NPCs in Dawn City reached 1.7 million.

Among them were 150,000 Regular Army and 50,000 Reserve Legion.

The city continued to expand into the Blackleaf Forest.

It now comprises 16 districts and has a population of 2 million.

This also includes 200,000 Player who own property in Dawn City. However, since Player are always logging in and out and don't actually live in the game permanently, Dawn City isn't too crowded.

The key reason why Newbie choose Dawn City Dawn City as their Novice Village is not only because of its strength, but more importantly because of its diverse tasks, which allow them to develop both inland and out to Ocean.

It also has many S-Class, A-Class, and A+-level hiring missions.

A crucial point is that the vast majority of Small Duchy don't have Portal at all!

To make things easier and allow Player to quickly travel to other places after leveling up, most players will choose Dawn City, which has very convenient transportation.

Especially recently, Dawn City has purchased many Flying Magical Beast from the Red Fire Kingdom. This situation has resulted in Dawn City having Portal for long-distance travel and Flying Magical Beast for short-distance travel.

With such financial resources and strength, it was already comparable to a Grand Duchy, which amazed the Player. Dawn City's growth rate was far faster than they had imagined.

But it must be said...

Ever since William opened the Portal between Dawn City and the Red Fire Kingdom.

The business dealings between the two countries have truly brought Dawn City a lot of money. The trade with the Red Fire Kingdom alone brings in a minimum of 400,000 Gold Coin in net profit every month.

Fishery revenue accounted for one-third of it!

Because the Red Fire Kingdom is an inland country, Ocean life is extremely rare for it. Various kinds of fish don't fetch much in Dawn City, but they can be worth more than ten times there.

In addition, Dawn City also possesses various rare mineral veins, such as Mithril and Orichalcum with high yields, which can be used to exchange for ores that are not available in the city. This greatly enriches the variety of ores in Dawn City, allowing Blacksmith to forge more high-quality equipment with superior attributes.

As William walked the streets of Dawn City, the Commoners, tourists, and merchants who saw him would often bow respectfully in greeting.

All Your Prince needs to do is keep smiling.

He rarely went to the New District, except for the Old District, even though the New District was more beautiful, the Magic Lamp were more elaborate, and there were more kinds of trees and flowers around it.

But the Old District is just as good!

Because William was also a boy with a good sense of aesthetics, he wanted his territory to become more and more beautiful, and he often asked his subordinates to renovate the city.

The number of Mage in Dawn City has reached nearly 10,000. Some Mage, who are bored, will occasionally tinker with some gadgets to decorate the Dawn City.

For example, the Magic Lamp that float in the sky at any time, like giant kites, will emit colorful lights every night.

Some simple and practical Magic items can help with household cleaning, freeing up labor and allowing more women to enter the workforce, thus contributing to the development of Dawn City.

For example, some practical Mana fans can cool down Commoners in hot weather and make construction workers work more energetically...

certainly...

These all cost money!

The fact that these Mage Professional can research these things isn't just a hobby; it's also because they have a City Lord who doesn't take his duties seriously, supporting their research into all sorts of advanced technologies...

As for why there are so many Mage Professional in Dawn City...

It was truly thanks to Old Bander, the Space Archmage, that so many NPC Mage were attracted to this place.

Mage Professional tend to admire the strong more than melee-based Professional.

Because those Mage Professional seek both Magic and truth!

Someone like Old Bander.

In the eyes of many Mage Professional, he was someone who had come close to the truth, Legendary on the verge of becoming Grand Archmage.

"Old Pi, swindling money at the casino again?" William was wandering around. Version 2.0 was about to end, and he had done all the necessary preparations. Now he just needed to wait for the Mana Revival. However, he still came to the casino to catch Old Pi.

Ever since he tricked this guy into coming to Dawn City, this bastard has been swindling people in his casino all day long, which is really affecting Dawn City's economic development and appearance.

According to the constitution of 23rd-century Huaxia, this kind of person should be shot!

But it must be said...

After William won him over to the max and revealed his identity, Old Pi, this Grandmaster Professional, actually shamelessly decided to follow him!

It's not just because Dawn City is very powerful.

More importantly, he still 'likes' William as a person.

In Old Pi's opinion, he had never seen anyone with such a low level of misfortune.

Especially after he saw the group of Professional from Dawn City, each of them shrouded in black aura, Old Pi was overjoyed. What was this?

Is this a concentration camp for the unlucky?

But for him, that was practically a dumping ground for blame!

He even saw someone suffering the same misfortune as William, but unfortunately, it was Mage he couldn't see through, and he couldn't use him for the time being...

But if someone's misfortune is less than his, then it's practically impossible for him to die, especially since people like William are growing at a fast pace.

Old Pi believed that it wouldn't be long before he could travel around with William, making his own way in the world while having others take the blame for him.

But gambling is still gambling...

When Old Pi saw William coming to arrest him again, he could only unleash the speed of Grandmaster and run away in a flash to a casino in another district to continue his aimless life. Anyway, there were hundreds of casinos in Dawn City, and he didn't believe that William would have time to come and arrest him all the time.

William took him under his command after that.

He finally understood what Old Pi's Talent was called!

[Misfortune Transfer: When there is a creature of the same rank with a lower Luck Value than yours, as long as you are within 100 meters of it, all misfortunes targeting you will be transferred to that creature.]

We're about to enter the update phase where there are no Player.

I need to think about a lot of things.

However, the main storyline during the version update has already appeared, and it basically revolves around the ' Magic-Martial Tournament '.

The next chapter will be updated before midnight tonight. I need to take someone to the airport; it's a small county town, quite a long distance... I hope everyone understands.
