Chapter 541
541 Advanced secret, the cruel truth
(PS[ this chapter is designed for players after Level 6, it’s a little boring! ]
After walking around the tower, Tang Zhen returned to his city Lord’s Hall.
Now that all the conditions for development had been fulfilled, Tang Zhen also began to calm down and prepare to set a clear development direction for the Holy Dragon City.
According to the secret information that Tang Zhen had painstakingly gathered, the world of towers was far crueler than it looked on the surface!
The entire world of towers was actually a Gu basin, and the countless towers of all sizes were the Gu worms within, constantly getting stronger through killing.
If the weak loucheng didn’t want to be eliminated, it could only make itself stronger. Otherwise, it would either be suppressed by the strong or destroyed for various reasons!
If one thought that they could live a carefree life after building a city or becoming a resident of the city, they were gravely mistaken.
Every city on the continent was actually a product of the survival of the fittest!
The purpose of the monster siege during the tower’s upgrade was to filter out the towers with low potential and combat power. If the towers could not stop the monsters, there was no need for them to continue existing.
However, compared to the other elimination modes, the monster siege was just child’s play!
If he didn’t want to level up and was content with his current situation, then he had to first consider whether he could resist the robbery group and the occasional high-level monster attack!
As the city’s level increased, the residents ‘attributes would also increase. In this case, the advantage of the advanced city would become more obvious. If the low-level city did not catch up, their good days would not last long.
The true purpose of the cornerstone trading platform being able to exchange for food was nothing more than to allow the cultivators of Lou Cheng to have no distractions and have enough time to continuously improve their combat strength.
And the true value of the residents of the city was to use their own efforts to create wealth and resources to support the cultivators of the city!
Some things could be so simple and cruel when they were explained clearly!
It was a pity that many loucheng couldn’t see the key to this, so they wasted their time in other places. Even though the loucheng had been pa.s.sed down for hundreds of years, they were still half-dead and eventually disappeared in the dust of history.
As time pa.s.sed, who knew how many ruins of buildings were hidden under the wild gra.s.s of the world of loucheng?
When Lou Cheng advanced from Level 5 to Level 6, it would be another brutal elimination!
The true Victor would be decided between the five towers that shared the interdimensional pa.s.sage, and the flesh and blood of the defeated would be used to nourish the newly born level six tower!
This was a selection process that was far crueler than a monster siege. If they could not cross this threshold, everything they had acc.u.mulated would be for someone else’s benefit!
After advancing to Level 6, one would have a clear land control area. The original bonus to the city’s attributes would also affect the land in the control area.
At this level, the tower’s demand for resources on the continent was no longer so strong. This was because there would be a new way to upgrade at this time, and the main battlefields would start to involve areas outside of this continent.
The world of loucheng was incomparably vast. Other than the continent under his feet, there were indeed other vast areas!
After upgrading to a level 6 building, a special s.p.a.ce Channel would appear, connecting to the ocean and sending cultivators to conquer the indigenous people in those places.
At this time, a new function would appear on the cornerstone platform, which was to exchange for battle credits!
As long as you have any item from the enemy you killed as proof, you can exchange it for battle merits on the cornerstone platform, and Lou Cheng will also get a part of the Commission.
The spoils of war could be sold and used. It was another source of battle achievement income!
These Battle Points were equivalent to points, but they were more useful than points. They could be exchanged for some special items that points could not buy.
If loucheng wanted to level up, it also needed to acc.u.mulate Battle Points. Otherwise, it could forget about leveling up!
The cornerstone platform was using this method to stimulate cultivators to fight on the battlefields overseas and work hard for the expansion of the mainland!
This was not just a description, but a real expansion of the land area!
This was because every time Lou Cheng conquered an overseas land, not only could they choose to exchange it for a considerable amount of battle credits, but they could also choose to pay a certain amount of battle credits to add the land directly to the area under the control of the Lou Cheng!
No matter what the choice was, the land on the mainland would increase by a little, while the land beyond the sea would disappear into thin air!
This kind of thing that sounded incomparably magical was incomparably strange in Tang Zhen’s eyes. It caused one’s heart to feel a chill!
Although the rewards of the battle were generous, it was a pity that the overseas region was not as fragile as one might imagine. As such, every battle would drag on for a long time, and it would often be in a stalemate for decades.
Therefore, after the towers were promoted to level six and had a clear division of the areas under control, some low-level towers would be built to continuously cultivate reserve combat power and keep more residents to serve the cultivators!
This situation would continue until the building was upgraded to a national level. Whether it was the top buildings of the elf race or the dog-headed people, they were all in this mode.
During this period of time, the top-tier towers could plunder the land of other towers on the continent and continuously expand their territory in order to obtain more residents and resources. This was also the reason why there were Wars between the top-tier towers.
When the tower was upgraded to level 9 and was ready to be upgraded to a national level, the battlefield would be moved to another unknown world!
Invading the small foreign worlds through the plane channel, completely destroying them, and then plundering the heart of the world’s source was the only way for a level 9 building to be upgraded to a national level.
The ruined worlds that were connected to other planes, such as the world of wizards and the world of the spirit race where lingxu Zi lived, were all destroyed because of this!
After it was upgraded to a national-level building, it would continue to invade more powerful foreign worlds and do other things. This was not something that Tang Zhen would know.
However, there were always accidents in this world. When some buildings were promoted to national level, they would still attract cultivators to attack them for unknown reasons.
For example, the black prison tower was once besieged by millions of cultivators, and the cultivators who attacked the city were defeated and fled in defeat!
In the secret information collected by Tang Zhen, there was no information about Lou Cheng after he was promoted to the national level. This was because this had already exceeded the level that ordinary cultivators could come into contact with!
However, Tang Zhen knew one thing. After loucheng was promoted to the national level, it would gradually leave the vision of the ordinary people in loucheng’s world and become more low-key and secretive.
Its form had also changed and was no longer limited to a fixed form. For example, the black prison tower chose to hide underground, and the Cold Moon Tower chose to cultivate ice Imps for possession and control because of its race characteristics. The area of the tower itself was not very large!
The small Otherworlds that had been completely destroyed would be recycled and left for the level 5 turrets on the mainland so that they could kill monsters to increase their combat power!
As for the reason why there were so few Lord-tier monsters on the continent, it was probably the deliberate action of the person behind the scenes. Before the upgrade to a level 5 building, it would be very difficult for ordinary buildings to fight against Lord-tier monsters.
If dozens of Lord-tier monsters appeared at once, together with the Army of monsters under their command, they would probably be able to destroy all the low-level buildings they saw along the way!
The mastermind behind the scenes would never allow such a meaningless disaster to happen.
This was also the reason why Lord-tier monsters were so rare, and they were basically trapped in the wild building!
When Lou Cheng reached rank 5 and was preparing to use a large number of brain pearls to advance to rank 6, the interdimensional pa.s.sage appeared in time. It reared countless powerful Lord-tier monsters for Lou Cheng’s cultivators to hunt.
It was truly a case of interlocking, with no gaps at all.
As for the once short-lived King-tier monster, the demon-eyed Tyrannosaurus, it was not included because it was located in the Starfall sea.
Lou Cheng would also face such a situation, so he had to make early preparations!
