My Chaotic City

Chapter 070 Separating into Camps

Li Hanqiang placed the Silver Horned Slime on the Chaos Slab as well, but the subsequent monster siege became extremely boring.

The monster siege ended nearly two hours later.

The wise little monk's persuasion was triggered again, and an ordinary slime was recruited.

When the city defense rewards were announced, Li Hanqiang's level increased to level 19, while the little monk Huixin only increased by 1 level.

In addition, the level of the three-headed tiger has been increased to level 23, the level of the silver-horned slime has been increased to level 25, and the two ordinary slimes are level 24 and level 26 respectively.

"Could it be that my level increases randomly after each successful defense of a city, ranging from 1 to 3 levels?" Li Hanqiang silently speculated. Judging from the actual situation, the leveling up of the Chaos City Lord might really be like this, and this randomness is very much in line with the style of the Endless Main Brain.

The young monk Huixin stood up, smiling as he looked at the three-headed monster he had persuaded, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

As Li Hanqiang approached him, he couldn't help but frown.

This little monk has extraordinary talent, but the trigger rate for persuasion is really low. If he can only persuade such a small number of wild monsters during a wave of monster attacks, then it's a bit of a waste.

After all, the monster sieges are getting stronger with each wave, and if you just open up the city to defend, how many waves can you hold out against?

You can persuade two or three monsters in one wave, and only twenty or thirty in ten waves. Unless you persuade elite monsters or boss monsters, you can't form a very strong team.

"It seems we need to find a way to make better use of this little monk's talent!" Li Hanqiang pondered silently.

Just then, a server-wide announcement suddenly rang out: "Beidou Guild has achieved the first clear of the world dungeon Burning Ruins! Congratulations to players Beidou Cangsheng, Beidou Wunian, Beidou Fuyao, Beidou Mingdi, and Beidou Xuezha..."

The server-wide announcement played three times in a row, and then more server-wide announcements followed.

"Server-wide announcement: There are now over 1000 adventurers who have reached level 30. The faction system is now fully open. All adventurers can choose to join the Xuanlong, Molong, or Xinglong factions through the faction hall in the major cities of their respective regions and obtain a rank."

Server-wide announcement: Three great empires are vying for supremacy; faction quests are now open.

"Server-wide announcement: Void ports have been added to all major cities in all regions. Adventurers who have reached level 30 are now allowed to board Void Airships and explore the Chaos Void."

"Server-wide announcement: Beidou Guild joins Xuanlong Empire!"

"Server-wide announcement: Tianhe Guild joins the Xuanlong Empire!"

"Server-wide announcement: Holy Cross Guild joins the Star Dragon Empire!"

"Server-wide announcement: Salem Guild joins the Dragon Empire..."

One server-wide message after another rang out, and it took a good six or seven minutes for it to stop.

Following the top ten guilds, there were many other guilds, both well-known and unknown, who thus announced their faction choices.

Li Hanqiang gazed into the void and muttered to himself, "So the major guilds have already divided into factions? The atmosphere is getting tense!"

He summarized that among the top ten guilds, Beidou, Tianhe, Huangtu, and Zhijian announced their joining of the Xuanlong Empire; Salem, Zhanhou, and Anheichaoxi announced their joining of the Molong Empire; and Dayu, Qianxiao, and Shengshizi announced their joining of the Xinglong Empire.

With the addition of server-wide announcements from various guilds of all sizes following suit, the player forces of the three factions appear to be roughly equal on the surface.

Li Hanqiang couldn't help but feel some pressure. The three major factions were vying for power, and he was preparing to take the route of a factionless pirate, which would probably lead to hostility with all three factions. He would have to be careful in the days to come.

According to the official announcement from "Endless World", the game only begins when players reach level 30. Li Hanqiang didn't quite understand this at first, but now, after reading this server-wide announcement, he realized that it was probably related to the Void Airship.

Void airships are war machines that can roam the chaotic void; in other words, they are means of transportation.

The Chaos Void was independently constructed by the Endless Main Brain. It is the main world of the Endless World. All the major cities in the regions and the players' Chaos Cities float in the Chaos Void. In the Chaos Void, there are also more monster lairs, resource points, special dungeons, ancient ruins, and so on.

Adventurers who reach level 30 can board a Void Airship, which should allow them to leave the main city and explore the endless void.

It's likely that the Lord of Chaos City will be the same; once he reaches level 30, he can board his own void airship and leave Chaos City.

However, the game's official information is very limited, and the background of the game world is not clearly explained. What it would be like to explore the chaotic void by riding a void airship is all unknown.

"If adventurer players discover my Chaos City in the chaotic void while riding a void airship, can they attack it directly?" Li Hanqiang pondered, feeling even more pressure.

A moment later, Li Hanqiang approached the Heart of Chaos and used another lucky gem without hesitation.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully claiming the city defense reward! Your reward is one city defense technology blueprint, rated as rare. Congratulations!"

"Another rare item! It truly lives up to its reputation as a lucky gem!" Li Hanqiang nodded to himself, quickly taking out the city defense technology scroll to examine it—

[Sturdy City Gate Technology Scroll: Special item, exclusive to Chaos City Lord. Its technology effect is to additionally increase the city gate's durability by 10000 points and its armor by 10 points.]

The item's attributes were very simple, yet they stirred something within Li Hanqiang.

Fortify the city gates!

Since this technology exists, it means that city gates can be built.

Li Hanqiang recalled the Chaos City he had seen in the difficult raid instance. That city not only had city gates, but also city walls and fortresses!

It's likely that players will be able to build various structures such as city gates and walls in their Chaos City in the future.

"City gate, city gate..." Li Hanqiang muttered, imagining a tall city gate blocking the war corridor in his mind.

If there are city gates, do wild monsters have to break through the city gates before they can enter Chaos City?

That's how it should be!

Then this city gate is really formidable.

Li Hanqiang immediately used the technology scroll, but unfortunately the city gate construction has not yet been unlocked, so he cannot witness the specific effects of this technology.

Next, Li Hanqiang launched the 12th wave of monster siege.

This wave of siege monsters is an even more powerful level 26... slime!

"Still a slime, and it's already leveled up two times? Defending the city will be a breeze!" Li Hanqiang exclaimed, but then solemnly instructed the little monk Huixin to stay and guard the city before logging off himself.

"It's time to prepare for future raids across Chaos City!" Li Hanqiang logged onto the live streaming platform, selected the Chaos City main channel, and began looking for targets to raid.

Logically, the more popular a game is, the more popular the corresponding live streaming industry will be, and the more streamers there will be.

However, Endless World is clearly an exception. Since its public beta launch, its live streaming industry has become less popular than before.

This isn't hard to understand; players are all playing their own games, so who cares about streamers?

Even streamers like Banyue Qingcheng, who were already famous during the mysterious closed beta of [Endless World], have seen their popularity plummet.

Li Hanqiang wasn't there to watch Banyue Qingcheng's live stream. Lin Banyue was just a chat streamer now, and she didn't reveal any information about her own Chaos City. What was the point of watching her live stream?

Li Hanqiang came specifically to find streamers who were willing to showcase information about their Chaos City.

However, most streamers are very careful to keep their identities secret. Li Hanqiang visited more than sixty live stream rooms, but all he encountered were chat streamers. He gained nothing, until he entered the live stream room of "Fat Tiger Doesn't Know Anything".
