"Bang!"
"Come in."
Xu Fei walked into the room and looked at the teacher sitting behind the yellow rosewood table. He said,"Hello, teacher. I'm here to receive the City Lord Seal.”
The City Lord Sigil was an item that every adult citizen must obtain.
This was a city-state world. After everyone was born, they had to go to school to learn how to become an outstanding city lord. They had to learn how to build a city in the wild with their bare hands and resist magical beasts.
When he turned eighteen, he had to receive the Seal of the City and leave the school to explore the wilderness and build his own city.
Everyone was a City Lord, and the City Lord Sigil was the proof of building a city.
Through his studies in school, Xu Fei learned a lot.
Within the City Lord Sigil was a 60-square-meter Inceptive City.
After arriving in the wilderness and choosing a location to build a city, he would place a sigil and obtain an initial main city and a 30 square kilometer primary territory.
The primary territory had a 10-day exemption from battle and would not be attacked by monsters in the wild.
Ten days later, the city-state would be attacked by monsters from Level 1 territories in the wild.
From what he had heard in class, many beginner City Lords had failed to resist the first wave of attacks. Their cities had been breached, and their City Lords had been killed by monsters.
The teacher in charge of distributing the sigils took off his glasses and wiped them. Then, he pointed to a machine that was emitting white light beside him and said,"Put your hand in."
Xu Fei walked forward and placed his hand under the white light.
"Every new City Lord who obtains a City Lord Sigil will receive a random talent.”
"Talents are divided into attack, defense, and support. Student, it depends on your luck. The kid who entered before you obtained a boiling blood talent. This student can tap on boiling blood technology in the future and build boiling blood warriors with extremely high attack power.”
"I hope you're lucky too.”
Under the teacher's nagging, Xu Fei withdrew his hand.
A small City Seal appeared on his arm. This was the City Lord Sigil.
At the corner of the mark, there was a small picture of a clock.
The teacher came over to take a look and said with disappointment,"Student, you're in trouble. You've randomly received the most trashy acceleration talent.”
"Teacher, what do you mean?" Xu Fei asked with a puzzled expression.”
The teacher sighed." Acceleration talent is an auxiliary talent. In short, it can speed up the construction time of buildings.”
" The Speed Talent sounds good, but the limit of a Speed Talent is usually one or two hours. Even building a basic farmland or basic militia requires ten hours, not to mention that the talent can only be used once a day.”
"When the time comes to upgrade the main city, it will take a whole year to upgrade from level 3 to level 4. Your acceleration of one hour a day is just a drop in the bucket.”
He opened his City Lord information panel.
Only he could see this panel.
City Lord Interface
[City Lord: Xu Fei]
[City Name: Unnamed]
[City Level: No Level (Not Placed)]
[City Lord Talent: 100 times acceleration (Any building can be accelerated by 100 times. As the level of the main city increases, the level of acceleration will increase accordingly. The current acceleration time is hours.]）
Was the talent of 100 times acceleration really so trashy?
Xu Fei frowned.
Seeing Xu Fei frowning, the teacher was too lazy to waste his breath on a student who had randomly obtained a trash talent.
He had seen many people like this. They were randomly given trash talents, and their future potential was really limited.
After the main city leveled up to level 3, it would be unable to open up a level 4 territory to obtain more and rarer resources. It would only be able to guard a level 3 city for the rest of its life.
Their fate was that when the beast tide arrived, they would be swallowed by the surging beasts, and the city would be destroyed.
He waved his hand, signaling Xu Fei to leave quickly. He was too lazy to even say a word.
He walked out of the room.
A short and stocky youth waved at him.
"Xu Fei, how's this place? What's your random talent?”
This was Xu Fei's classmate, Wang Pan, whom he had a good relationship with in school.
He had already received his City Lord Sigil yesterday.
He had randomly obtained a decent support talent, Regeneration. The HP recovery speed of all soldiers in the city would increase as the level of the main city increased.
The talent skill was average, neither good nor bad.
Seeing Xu Fei come out, he took the initiative to walk forward and ask,"Brother Fei, what talent did you get randomly?”
Xu Fei smiled bitterly and sighed.""Teacher said it was the most trashy acceleration talent.”
Wang Pan patted his shoulder and said,""Brother Fei, it's okay. There are good and bad talents. You have the best grades in school and are the most serious in your studies. The development of the city state will definitely be very good. As long as the main city reaches level 3, you can use the rations to hire troops to support you on the trading platform. If not, you can also buy some high-level mercenaries from high-level cities.”
"Maybe we can survive the beast tide."
Xu Fei nodded reluctantly.
Wang Pan looked at Xu Fei worriedly, then let out a long sigh of relief and said,""Let's go. The matter of talent has already become a fact. There's no way to change it.”
"Have you thought about which continent to choose as your birthplace?”
The birthplace that Wang Pan mentioned was the Central Cliff Continent, the North Cape Continent, the West Continent, the East Pole Continent, the Central Crimson Continent, the Scattered Star Seas, and the Storm Archipelago.
There were a total of seven regions. After choosing the birthplace, one could be teleported to a random open space in the birthplace and build a city.
Wang Pan continued," The Central Red Continent and the East Pole Continent are all popular. There are many people, and the competition for high-level resource lands is fierce. In the later stages, the development will be weak. But you also know the situation of our batch. If we can enter a big alliance in the Death graduation group, we will have protection and survive the beast tide. We will prioritize our lives. We can talk about the rest later.”
The beast tide he was referring to was once every three years. All the magical beasts in the grade-6 lairs would go on a rampage and attack the cities on the continent.
Two years had passed, and the last beast tide would be at the end of the year.
People like Xu Fei who graduated at this time were usually called the City Lords of Death.
This was because to have the power to resist the beast tide, one had to be at least a Level 5 city.
In a year, even the most talented city lord could at most reach level four.
A Level 4 city was just a city that had just gotten rid of its newbie phase.
In a beast tide, the leader of a small group of beasts was a grade-5 beast group. There were 100,000 demonic beasts under his command.
A grade 4 city would not be able to stop them.
"Xu Fei, let's choose the Red Continent together. I have an elder that I'm familiar with in the Central Red Continent. It's already a grade-5 city and has even joined a one-star alliance. I've asked around, and as long as we go over and become his subordinate cities, he'll give us the resources to develop and protect us.”
Wang Pan was very enthusiastic, but Xu Fei shook his head.
In this city-state world, resources were always the most precious.
Giving you resources for development and protection, would it be free?
"When the Beast Tide comes, as a subordinate city, you can't retreat even a step if you're asked to use your life to resist it.
Seeing Xu Fei shake his head, Wang Pan could only sigh in his heart. Since Xu Fei was unwilling to go with him, the two of them could only go their separate ways in the future. He said nothing more and turned to leave.
