William thought that after the players had completed the mission, they would return to the work of moving bricks.
But he had underestimated the players. He had underestimated the curiosity of the players.
A group of rookies daringly walked up to the stage. It did not look like they cared about the fact that William was the city lord as they came towards him with the intention of touching him.
Thankfully, the dignity of a Lord could not be easily violated. Before William said anything, two guards became ready to unsheathe their swords.
“Tsk tsk. Needless to say, the Lord’s appearances can compare to mine.” One of the players could not help but ridicule William after observing him.
“Brother, can you go back and look at yourself in the mirror? If your face had not been uglified by 20%, your gaming pod would have a fishy smell for the rest of your life.”
A few players started to scold that player and admired William’s looks close up.
Not only had many male players that came to the City of Dawn, but many female players also entered the City of Dawn. Many of them were not crazy about leveling up.
Instead, their main aim was to discover the beauty of the City of Dawn. They had watched its scenery from the previous internal testing live broadcasts and videos. Furthermore, there were many elves here. For them, It was a good place to take residence in.
Of course, William’s looks were the most important. He was like the signboard of the City of Dawn!
Some female players did not dare to get close to William. They came and made visual illusions through photos and even videos.
Then, they would do kissing and hugging poses.
When William’s subordinates saw what was happening, they could only endure it. Their Lord had not said anything. He even seemed to be enjoying it, and hence, naturally, his subordinates had no intention of doing anything…
The city lord did not comment on this and just continued smiling. Since the 21st century, some NPCs in games had their own fans. They attracted a large audience.
There was Sword Heroes 3: Deep Sword Heart from hundreds of years ago,
Anduin Lothar, the ruler of the Kingdom of Stormwind in Warcraft,
And recently, Blackstar from Starcraft over ten years ago,
Hence now, becoming an idol and protagonist NPC was William’s aim.
He could use this position and the exposure he got with it to manage the entire forum.
After all, there was no other choice,
As one of the three main protagonists of version 1.0, not only did William appear in public frequently, but he was also the most handsome. This would naturally pique the interest of many people.
On the other hand, Goethe Nasis and the Crown Prince of the Black Lava Nation had been silently observing the players. They did not dare to appear rashly.
For the entire afternoon,
William stood in the square. He allowed people to take photos of him or film him, and he also issued missions to the players online.
Night came, and only then, he left with his two subordinates. Of course, the missions could still be accepted. But the players had to now go to the notice board at the city entrance, or the notice hall.
These two places were good places to accept missions.
Another way was to find NPCs and receive missions from them. Of course, they would be able to come into close contact with William…
The sky slowly turned dark.
The stars shone brightly, and two blue moons had graced the sky with their presence.
The moment the sun had set below the horizon, hundreds and thousands of magic lamps lit up at the same time.
In a flash, the entire city turned into a sleepless city, shining with lamps.
Many players had used up their endurance from transporting bricks. They had decided to take a rest when they gazed upon this scene. They looked around, and their expressions became full of happiness. They could not help but feel that the scenery in the City of Dawn was too amazing.
Magic lamps hung from the trees along the streets, lighting up the flowers below them. It was an extraordinary sight.
Many players started to take pictures, take videos, and even conduct live broadcasts.
The few that remained were admiring the scenery. It seemed like a good decision.
“Tsk tsk, the players in the human nations really have the guts to upload pictures on the forum. There are no toilets on the streets. The streets and alleys are filled with urine and feces. Public security is also low.”
“This is only the third day of the game Beta. A few thousand people have been beaten up by NPCs. Some unlucky fellows were captured by mages to be used in experiments. Compared to them, our City of Dawn is better.” A group of five players chatted as they walked along the streets.
The others agreed with this. There had been a lot of information about the two nations.
In these nations, there were many civilians, slaves, and legions. However, the overall quality was much lower than the City of Dawn.
“That is to be expected. William is an Elfin prince, after all. Both his actions and his words are definitely much better than humans.” One of the Eflin players laughed.
The other four players glanced at him as if he was not a player like them. One of the girls said, “How does it feel like to need twice the amount of experience than usual?”
The Elfin player grinned. He had only reached level 5, while the rest were at level 7. But he was unyielding. “It is enough, as long as my attributes are strong. Furthermore, haven’t you realized? My looks are much better than all of you.”
“Also, the City of Dawn gives more missions than other places do. There are a lot of opportunities to earn experience!”
“That makes sense, but the elves in the human nations are doomed…”
“Hm? A tycoon from the forums used real-life currency to buy gold coins. He is planning to spin the wheel 100 times in the casino. Let’s go take a look!”
“Damn! Let’s go! We have to take a look.”
Many entertainment activities took place at night in the City of Dawn. In particular, since the military fortress had been occupied, the city gate was not closed. Many NPCs would organize campfire parties outside the cities. Occasionally, a few brazen and unreasonable players would drink alcohol at the campfire…
In the end, they received a warning.
Their affinity with that NPC had dropped…
Of course, not only could the new players go out of the city, but they could also choose to walk around and find Hidden Missions.
In particular, Moses from the fortune-telling hut, a hidden legendary Boss, had successfully been discovered by the players!
Therefore.
Once again, the forum wailed in anguish.
“The City of Dawn is too overpowered. It must be weakened. This is the second legendary Boss. Who knows what secret transactions he has with the Lord of the City of Dawn.”
A representative from the City of Dawn said, “If you can’t eat grapes, don’t say that the grapes are sour. We have many legendary bosses in the City of Dawn. Epic Bosses are everywhere. Masters are as common as dogs. High-level NPCs are all over the place.
“If you are jealous, then so be it. All you do is complain as if the Gods’ officials care.”
“Stop quarreling. If you don’t agree, let’s fight. The Black Lava Nation is not afraid of anyone,” said a representative from the Black Lava Nation.
A passer-by said, “Brother, do people even care about the Black Lava Nation…”
The representative from the Black Lava Nation was left speechless.
The casino in the City of Dawn, once again, was filled with a big group of players.
They had gathered together to watch a tycoon spin the small wheel of fortune 100 times, equivalent to spending 100 gold coins. According to the current rates, this tycoon had spent at least 10 thousand silver coins before being able to obtain so many gold coins from the players.
He had even attracted Angry Fatty’s interest. The latter immediately ran over and started a live broadcast. He also wanted to see how lucky the others were.
Furthermore, the tycoon’s username was very impressive. He had named himself ‘What Can You Do Against Me’. The race that he chose was Elf, and he had reached level 6.
Considering how difficult it was for Elves to level up, as they needed double experience, he was very hardworking and lively.
He saw that a crowd had already gathered. It made him so satisfied that he was about to explode.
He went to the entrance of the casino and said in a lavish manner, “Take out your small wheel of fortune. I want to spin it 100 times.”
The attendant’s eyes lit up. This kind of rich person was rare. He did not waste any time and immediately took out the small wheel of fortune.
Some dirty monetary transactions took place.
And then the attendant stretched out his hand and narrowed his eyes. This was the signal that the tycoon could begin.
Thus, ‘What Can You Do Against Me’ started to spin the wheel, amidst wild shouting from other players…
“100 copper coins!”
“1 gold coin!”
“10 silver coins!”
“10 silver coins!”
“10 silver coins!”
“100 copper coins!”
“Beginner level close-combat blue helmet!”
“10 silver coins!”
In short, after 100 spins, he had obtained one set of silver equipment, five sets of blue equipment, and got back 13 gold coins.
But he could not put them on yet.
Furthermore, the messenger from the casino smiled and told him that he could temporarily store his equipment in the casino. Nothing would happen to it.
Therefore.
The small wheel of fortune at the casino exploded in popularity!
The players who had visited the blacksmith realized something. A set of silver equipment from the blacksmith would cost over 200 gold coins. But What Can You Do Against Me spent 100 gold coins and got one set of silver equipment and five sets of blue equipment. It was a steal…
In just a moment,
A large group of players came to spin the small wheel of fortune.
After all, the large wheel of fortune cost ten gold coins per spin. For now, no one could afford it.
