Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Progress


    Half a monthter, almost all yers in Doomsday City knew about the City of Hope Alliance’s extremely important quest, which sparked much discussion and led to another wave of recruiting yers. In just one week, the number of yers in the City of Hope Alliance had exceeded 1,000, which is currently the maximum number of yers allowed to be recruited. Otherwise, at least another 1,000 yers could be recruited.


    However, for the remaining yers, the City of Hope Alliance did not give up and organized them into a reserve force. Those who had contributed to the defense of the city would be given priority to join the alliance once it leveled up.


    Afterward, all yers of the City of Hope Alliance, including the reserve force yers, tirelessly collected various resources. The Transmission Array asionally emitted beams of white light, which were yers going out to purchase materials from others. In just one week, the energy stones of the Transmission Array had consumed more than 500,000 Doomsday Coins!


    In the conference room of Manor Castle, there were only Wang Qi and Song Jian.


    “Alliance Leader, we have almost collected all the materials, except we still need 20,000 units of gold and 8,000 units of gems. In one more week at most, we should be able to collect all of them,” Wang Qi reported to Song Jian.


    “In addition, the Valley of the Undead has entered the stage of full-scale mining. However, nearly all the profits from mining have been invested into this quest, so there are not many Doomsday Coins left in the alliance…”


    “Also, we have hired yers from three small alliances, a total of over 500 people, who will also help us defend against the monster siege…”


    Song Jian, listening to Wang Qi’s report, nodded repeatedly. Overall, the progress of the quest was still good. Moreover, the fourth sword required to nurture a Sword Spirit, which was a gold weapon, had also been brought to Song Jian by Wang Qi.


    With a sword imbued with Sword Spirit, the release of swordsmanship consumed almost no energy. Otherwise, with Song Jian’s strength, controlling four swords for an extended period ofbat would be impossible.<div>


    “How is the progress of the second cleaning task?” Song Jian asked. Now, the territory of the City of Hope Alliance was quite extensive, and it would take at least five or six days to clean it uppletely. Ensuring no corners were missed and not leaving any monsters behind would be very difficult.


    “The lower-level monster areas have almost been cleaned up, but the areas with monsters over level 28 are slower to clean…” Wang Qi said.


    “What about the sewer area?” Song Jian asked.


    “The sewer area is the slowest in cleaning progress…” Wang Qi hesitated, “The terrain in the sewers isplicated, like a maze, and there are many monsters with levels above 25. Currently, we have only cleaned up less than half of the area…”@@novelbin@@


    Song Jian frowned slightly. The cleaning progress was much slower than he had anticipated…


    “Is the sewer area map drawn?” Song Jian asked.


    “It has been drawn!” Wang Qi handed the sewer map of the territory to Song Jian.


    “Also, mark the areas on the ground that are difficult to clear out!” Song Jian said.


    He was not satisfied with the cleaning progress, so it seemed he would take matters into his own hands.


    “Oh, right, Alliance Leader, pay special attention to this area in the sewer…” Wang Qi pointed to an area on the map and said, “This area is suspected to have a high-level BOSS. Two rogue yers disappeared here and have vanished from the friend list…”


    “What, yers died?” Song Jian was shocked. There was only one life in the game, and dying in the game was equivalent to dying in the real world. Many yers avoided entering dangerous areas and only hunted monsters they were confident in killing.


    “Do you know their identities in the real world?” Song Jian asked.


    “I don’t know…” Wang Qi said, “We haven’t established a yer information database for the alliance yet!”


    “Get it done immediately. Of course, this requires the yers’ consent. Then, establish aplete welfare andpensation system for the alliance!” Song Jian said.


    The game’s interference to the real world was bing more and more significant. The exchange rate of one Doomsday Coin had risen from an initial rate of 100RMB to 300RMB.


    All items that could directly enhance one’s strength in the real world were bing more expensive, especially those that increased one’s attributes. They had fetched astronomical prices. Who wouldn’t want to be a superman in the real world?


    The wealth that Song Jian had already exceeded tens of millions of Doomsday Coins, equivalent to billions in the real world. Naturally, he would not be stingy with the yers who joined the City of Hope Alliance.


    “Yes, Alliance Leader, I’ll do it right away!” Wang Qi replied.


    After discussing the construction status of the defense buildings, Wang Qi left Manor Castle. He had been very busy recently. As Vice Alliance Leader, almost all matters were pressing on him, and only when he could not solve them would hee to Song Jian.


    After Wang Qi left, Song Jian opened the map. The territory of the City of Hope Alliance now covered thousands of square kilometers. However, it was impossible for them to defend such an area. Song Jian decided to abandon some territories and build the city walls three thousand meters from Manor Castle. This way, the Healing Goddess statue ced in Manor Castle woulde into full y.


    For the abandoned territories outside, Song Jian filled them with various traps and self-destruct devices. Among them werendmines, which many yers had mastered. These days, yers who had learned the art of makingndmines were frantically producing them, turning the area outside the City of Hope Alliance into a minefield.


    However, even if they willingly abandoned constructing buildings on their territory, the monsters above had to be cleaned up, as this was also part of the quest.


    “There are three monster areas on the ground that are difficult to clean up, one at level 28, one at level 30, and one at level 33…” Song Jian moved his gaze slowly across the map, examining those monster areas.


    It was not difficult to clean up the level 28 monster area, as it would not contain a BOSS with Tier 1 Combat Power. However, it was not certain for the level 30 and 33 monster areas, where BOSS monsters with Tier 1 Combat Power might appear and even Lord-ss BOSS monsters might emerge, making the cleaning task more challenging.


    “The most difficult part is the sewer…” Song Jian looked at the maze-like sewer terrain in front of him and suddenly felt a headache. It would take at least a day just to walk through the entire area.


    “Never mind, do it one by one. First, clean up these three monster areas!” Song Jian put away the map and walked toward the outside of Manor Castle.
