Chapter 125: Faith Test Base! Return to Dolphin City!
Rested for a night in the villa on the top of Dengtian Mountain.
Depart the next day.
When returning to the Southern Region, Xu Mu flew at a low altitude all the way, but found that the entire Southern Region was decorated with lights and was very lively.
He landed directly on the top floor of the city lord's palace and took a shortcut from the balcony to Ma Gongping's office.
At this moment, he was facing away from Xu Mu, with a communication screen unfolded in front of him, and he was giving commands to the other end.
"Hang that statue higher! Put it straight, don't tilt it! Are you trying to disrespect the gods?"
"We're going to develop this place into the largest park in our southern region. It's free, and it would be best if people from all over the world could come and pay their respects! Hahaha!"
"Captain Ma." Xu Mu suddenly spoke, which scared Ma Gongping.
When he turned around and found that it was Xu Mu, his face suddenly became extremely happy, with a smile in his eyes.
"Oh! Master Quasi-God, you are here!"
"Just call me by my old name." Xu Mu looked past Ma Gongping and at the light screen behind him: "What is this?"
On the screen, there stood a 20-meter-tall hard stone statue, about as tall as a small building, wearing a windbreaker and a hood.
Cool and handsome appearance.
Ma Gongping explained it briefly, and Xu Mu finally understood.
During the time when Xu Mu went to the Eastern Region, the other three regions were also paying close attention to the situation in the Eastern Region.
After the final result came out, everyone in the Southern Region was extremely excited and breathed a sigh of relief.
As time went by over the past few years, the Eastern Region's comprehensive suppression of the other three regions has continued.
In terms of supplies, it is required that the superior supplies in the three major regions be delivered to the Eastern Region first, and the remaining unwanted supplies should be returned by the same route.
Although they gave money, the feeling of being superior made the citizens of the three regions feel very uncomfortable.
The loss of talent is even more obvious.
After achieving success in their own home fields, talented players who are not satisfied with the status quo will go to the Eastern Region to seek development.
In addition to the strength screening, there is a more important step for those who want to settle in the Eastern Region - canceling their citizenship in other regions and only holding the Eastern Region Citizenship Certificate.
This is equivalent to completely cutting it off from its homeland.
As time went by, the Eastern Region became like a large vampire, continuously sucking away the best things from each field of the three major regions, leaving behind only the rotten things.
The gap between the two sides naturally became more and more obvious.
The citizens of the several major regions are full of resentment, but they dare not speak out.
At present, Xu Mu's deeds have been reported back to the three major regions. Some curious people even risked their lives to climb a high mountain near the East Region and used scientific information capture technology to send back several precious video footage.
In the camera, no matter how swiftly he tore apart the four giants of the Eastern Region!
Or even if facing a quasi-god, he could still crush him with the same overwhelming force!
In addition, the citizens of the Eastern Region, who had always lived a life of luxury, trembled in fear when facing Xu Mu and did not even dare to fart.
The citizens of several major regions were so happy! The citizens same day, they called on the Southern Region government to build a statue for God A on various social media platforms to honor him for his outstanding achievements.
The reason is quite reasonable. As the god of a region, how can he not have a decent monument!
Isn't this a tragedy, my family members?
Ma Gongping thought about it and realized that this was the truth.
Without saying too much, even if we treat it as a landmark building, open it to the world for free and attract many tourists to come and pay their respects, it will have a subtle influence on the development of the Southern Region!
So the best sculptor in the southern region was ordered to work overtime in one day to create this lifelike and engraved statue. It is now being implemented. (For players with potential in sculpting)
After hearing the explanation, Xu Mu was a little speechless.
He is just doing what he should do, and his driving force comes from the need for self-preservation and profit.
It's not as great as these people think.
Ma Gongping saw the confusion in Xu Mu's eyes and explained: "In the era of the advent of the copy, the significance of your statue is no less than that of the European Tower!"
Xu Mu couldn't refute this.
If he is just an ordinary player, and a true quasi-god player appears in the area, he will feel proud and want to use a loud speaker to let the whole world know that he has a quasi-god.
"Okay, it's up to you. By the way, I came here this time to discuss something else with you." Xu Mu roughly told him the plan in his mind.
However, he deliberately kept the bet with the Twelve Constellations and only mentioned the National Improvement Plan.
Those quasi-god players are willing to hide behind the clouds, but for Xu Mu, it is a relief.
After hearing this, Ma Gongping's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You...you mean, you want to set up a test site in the South Region and personally teach players the skills of playing dungeons?"
"Yes." Xu Mu nodded.
If you want to boost the overall strength of the three major domains, the quickest way is naturally to make the copy strategy public.
Of course, Xu Mu also had his own little plans in mind.
At this stage, S+ level copies are still beneficial to oneself, so the strategies for S+ level and above copies will not be open to the public.
Copies below level S+ are of little use to me.
As for selling for money, Xu Mu is not short of money now. What he needs is faith, a lot of faith.
If you just give them the strategy and let them play on their own, there is no need to consider whether they can pass the game according to the strategy.
Even if I pass, I will just say thank you to you.
But teaching by example is different.
Of course, these are just Xu Mu's speculations.
This is the first time I’ve become a god since I was born, so I don’t have any experience.
Therefore, Xu Mu needs to set up a small base to see what the subsequent response is and whether it can really provide him with good faith.
If the test results are good, we will consider moving to larger places.
"If you're willing, I'll arrange it right away!" Ma Gongping was very excited, and his voice suddenly became much louder.
What the rapid improvement in the strength of regional players means is self-evident.
It is even greater than the impact brought by those economically developed areas before the copy era!
However, most people will keep the guide hidden or sell it for money. There is no reason to make it available for free.
Now the God in his own area has expressed his intention to release the strategy guide, which is simply a bombshell!
"God A, do you have any requirements regarding site selection?" Ma Gongping first asked Xu Mu for his opinion.
Xu Mu thought for a moment, and suddenly a name popped up in his mind.
Dolphin City!
As his hometown on the Blue Water Planet, Xu Mu has a favorable impression of this small seaside city.
Moreover, when we set out for the City of the Sea three months ago.
Liu Hailang, the mayor of Dolphin City, also gave him a lot of help.
If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night.
It would be a good idea to use this place as the first testing base.
After communicating with Ma Gongping, he agreed immediately.
He also said that it would take two days to prepare and communicate with City Lord Liu so that he could make preparations in advance.
After all, countless people want to receive God's personal teachings.
By then, it will probably bring about an extremely terrifying impact on the flow of people, filling up the entire small city!
"Okay, I'll leave in two days." Xu Mu nodded in response. In the next two days, he planned to take a good vacation and arrange the internal affairs of his own guild.
————
At the same time, in Dolphin City, thousands of miles away.
Liu Hailang looked at the uninvited guest who appeared in his office with sweat on his forehead.
It was a young man wearing golden boots, who was playing with a sharp dagger in his hand.
The reason why his golden boots were noticed was that the man put both legs on Liu Hailang's desk.
"City Lord Liu, you should have no problem with my proposal just now, right? " Sen Qiang said with a smile, spinning the dagger quickly in his hand.
Liu Hailang gritted his teeth and said, "Half of the city's political power is too much. Even with the previous city operation model, the presidents of the top third-level guilds in our city can only get one veto. The final say is still with me."
"You also said that was before. Our Forest Guild is the top fourth-tier guild in this area. Just think about how much traffic it can bring to your Dolphin City." Sen Qiang put away his dagger and said with his arms crossed, "If City Lord Liu doesn't agree, then I will assume that Dolphin City doesn't welcome us. I just don't know if the neighboring Seaside City will welcome a fourth-tier guild?"
There was a strong sense of threat in Sen Qiang's words.
But Liu Hailang had to consider the consequences.
The development of Dolphin City in recent months has been somewhat embarrassing, with a serious loss of talent.
Although two A-level strongmen, Mu Lin and Xu Mu, came out one after another, it also attracted some players who came from villages, towns and counties.
But the foundation of these players is still too weak and needs time to develop.
Moreover, Tengu's death resulted in the loss of a member from the five third-tier guilds in Dolphin City.
Xiao Xiji's guild has also been disbanded. Before she left, I heard her mention that she was heading to the Southern Region to join Xu Mu.
Liu Hailang was naturally happy that these two people were able to develop well outside.
But her departure also means that Dolphin City will lose another important general.
The situation of the three remaining guilds being evenly matched was also caused by the fact that one of the guild leaders chose to abdicate due to old age, and it was difficult for his successor to carry the banner, so the guild was disbanded in just two months.
In the end, there were only two Tier 3 guilds left, and many players fled to nearby cities, leaving a serious gap.
Just last month, Sen Qiang brought his fourth-level guild from the capital of Tianhai Province, Sea City, and set up camp here.
At the beginning, a fourth-level guild moved into the city, which greatly alleviated the talent gap and allowed Dolphin City, which had been losing talent, to finally stabilize its position.
As soon as many players from the surrounding small areas heard that there was a fourth-level guild in Dolphin City, they flocked to it.
Sen Qiang also led his fourth-level guild to help many local players in Dolphin City solve their problems and build trust, and was deeply loved by local residents.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
But what Liu Hailang didn't expect was that this boy's fangs could not be hidden after all.
Any benefit in this world has already been secretly marked with a price.
One month later, he came to my door and demanded half of the control of Dolphin City, otherwise he would withdraw the fourth-level guild from Dolphin City.
Players intervening in the government! This was something that was unthinkable in the era before the advent of the dungeon.
But in the era of copies, the strong are king.
Especially when the other party comes with a large amount of resources.
Of course Liu Hailang could disagree. No matter how powerful Sen Qiang was, the most he could do was to evacuate and he would not dare to take action against the citizens of Dolphin City.
But Liu Hailang had to consider what the consequences would be if he disagreed.
Dolphin City’s economy is stagnant and even regressing!
Without a decent signboard, who would come to live and develop here?
Seeing Liu Hailang looking embarrassed.
Sen Qiang knew that victory was within reach, so he took advantage of the opportunity to pursue his opponent.
"City Lord Liu, I still respect you. But you also have to know how difficult it is for a small city like yours to have an A+-level expert like me and a fourth-level guild settle in."
"Moreover, the Forest Guild is already popular among the people of Dolphin City. The guild members have already integrated well with the people of Dolphin City. If you hand over half of the management rights to me, Dolphin City will only get better and better. Otherwise..."
"You don't want to see Dolphin City gradually decline in your hands, do you?"
"I..." Liu Hailang gritted his teeth with difficulty.
Finally, he said in a hoarse voice: "Let me think about it for two more days."
"Okay, two days later, I hope I can hear your sincerity." Sen Qiang got up from the chair, patted Liu Hailang's shoulder, and helped him smooth the thin hair on his forehead, and left with a playful expression.
Liu Hailang seemed to have all his strength drained away and slowly collapsed on the sofa.
To be honest, in several cities around him, and in some towns smaller than Dolphin City, there have already been examples of powerful forces controlling municipal affairs.
These players are very smart. They will not clash with stronger regimes, but will just stay in small places and act like local emperors.
Moreover, on the surface, the officials appointed by the provincial capital are still in charge. Even if the provincial capital sends out disciplinary inspection teams, they will not be able to find any problems.
But everyone living there knows that this is just a puppet regime.
"Is it possible that a small, insignificant city like Dolphin City will only evolve into a city controlled by players as the times change? But what can those who can only play dungeons understand about city governance? Alas..." Liu Hailang was unwilling, but helpless.
Just then, the landline phone on the table rang.
Compared to the light screen communications that had long been replaced in big cities, many aspects of small cities still retain the appearance they had before the copy arrived.
It's okay if there is no comparison, but once there is comparison, it seems extremely shabby and backward.
After answering the call, Liu Hailang's expression changed slightly and his pupils widened slightly.
Southern Region!
This call was from a staff member of the Southern Region Government!
You know, for a small city like Dolphin City, the bosses only have one chance a year to go to the provincial capital for a meeting, make a simple annual city development report, and then return home in disgrace.
Only the mayors of the major provincial capitals within the jurisdiction of the Southern Region have the opportunity to go to the Southern Region once a year and communicate directly with the Governor of the Southern Region.
Small places are not qualified to have direct dialogue with the Southern Region at all.
The Southern Territory government has crossed several levels and proactively called Dolphin City. This is the first time in all these years!
This couldn't help but make Liu Hailang feel a little panicked.
Fearing that he might neglect the other party, he quickly corrected his attitude and said respectfully to the other end: "Secretary Huang, hello! Yes, I am the mayor of Dolphin City under the jurisdiction of Ocean City. May I ask... is there anything I can help you with?"
