I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 719

Chapter 719: Chapter 719: Special Task

Song Jian put away four cards glowing with a purple-gold light, and the treasure chest in the center of the arena gradually disappeared.

“Congratulations, Song Jian. I didn’t expect that you actually achieved the remarkable feat of ten consecutive victories!” Gao Dongxin looked at Song Jian with a look of surprise and joy on his face.

Song Jian had fully recovered now, but there was still a hint of fatigue in his eyes. The previous battles did not consume much, but from the moment he started fighting the Undead Knight, the drain on Song Jian’s strength started to grow bigger. In the final fight against the twelve Spartans, he had to use all his hidden cards and fight with all his might.

“I’m honored to fulfill your expectations!” Song Jian said with a smile, handing over a “Game Invitation Card” that was also glowing with a purple-gold light to Gao Dongxin.

Among all the previous rewards, this card was of no great use to Song Jian, but for those who desired to enter the game to enhance their abilities, this card was an invaluable treasure!

Zhao Dan was looking at the card in Gao Dongxin’s hand with envy. Although she was already a player, many people in her family wanted to join the game.

“Mr. Song, I wonder if you could cooperate with us, the Zhao family as well? We also need the Game Invitation Card!” Zhao Dan laughed and said, “And besides, there must be more rewards from the ten successive wins, right? If Mr. Song has other things and is willing to sell, our Zhao family is willing to offer a high price!”

Song Jian chuckled, “I am not considering selling the other rewards for the time being. If you want me to sell, it’s pretty simple, just bring out something that interests me!”

Zhao Dan’s smile froze for a moment, and she could not help but shake her head helplessly.

Considering Song Jian’s current strength, how could ordinary items interest him? If Gao’s Family hadn’t offered a part of his equipment set, believing an equipment of Gold quality could make Song Jian sell… it’s utterly unimaginable!

Leaving the Manor Castle of the arena, a satisfied smile spread across Song Jian’s face. Although there had been some unexpected turns in the battles in the arena, the rewards were fairly generous;

The Game Unsealing Card for Song Jian was simply the more the better. If he could bring all of his equipment from the game to the real world, then he wouldn’t have had to fight so hard in the arena;

A Game Follower Card could bring creatures in the real world into the game, and of course, it could bring humans in as followers. Sometimes, the Follower Card was even chased after more by big shots than the Invitation Card;

As for the Bag Expansion Card, it could be said that was the biggest gain from this arena trip for Song Jian. By unlocking all the bag slots, Song Jian wouldn’t have to worry about what to bring out of the game every time he left, because so far, he could only bring two items out of the game at a time;

Before leaving the arena, Song Jian had already used the Bag Expansion Card, and every single grid in his bag turned into a light gold border.

Song Jian hadn’t decided which equipment to use the Unsealing Card on, and the creatures in the real world, even tigers and lions, were not as powerful as the monsters in the game. Currently, the Follower Card had no use for Song Jian, so he could only store it inside his bag.

Song Jian no longer intended to return to his previous rented room and believed that with the strength of the Southwest Military Region, the villa he had previously bought was definitely within their surveillance range. Thinking of this, Song Jian walked directly towards Coastal City’s largest port;

…

In the Manor Castle of the City of Hope Alliance in the game, a flash of white light passed, and Song Jian’s figure appeared in the castle.

As soon as he entered the game, Song Jian received a message from the system.

System: City of Hope Alliance has successfully created a first-level city. You automatically become the city lord of the City of Hope Alliance (first-level city)!

System: You have received the City Lord seal of the City of Hope! The seal is currently in a sealed state;

System: You automatically received a special task, “I am a city lord”! Depending on how you complete the task, you’ll receive different evaluations and the seal of the City Lord will be unsealed to varying degrees! Basic completion: 50% function of the seal will be unsealed, Excellent: 65%, Perfect: 98%, Extraordinary: 110%;

“The perfect rating only unseals 98%? How do you get the extraordinary rating, shouldn’t the maximum unsealing be 100%? What is this extra 10%?” Song Jian frowned slightly and immediately opened the task bar to view the special task he was automatically assigned;

Special Task: I am the City Lord!

Task Content 1: As a great city lord, you must first have enough resources! Please collect the following resources within a month! Food: 300,000 units, Timber: 200,000 units, Stone: 150,000 units, Gold: 50,000 units, Gems: 30,000 units;

Task Content 2: As a great city lord, you must ensure the safety of all residents in your territory. Please clear all the monsters inside your territory within a month. During the task, the monsters that you kill will not respawn. After the task ends, for every extra monster, the task rating drops 1%;

Task Content 3: As a great city lord, you must ensure the safety of the entire city. Please create enough defensive buildings within a month. After the task ends, the total defense value of the defensive buildings you created must reach 100,000. For every point less, the task rating drops 1%;

Task Content 4: The final test: As a newly created city, you must go through the trial of blood and fire before you can truly become a shelter for humanity! A month later, you will experience a most brutal monster siege! If you successfully resist, the city will be established; if you fail, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and the City of Hope Alliance territory will become a wasteland!

Song Jian carefully read every word of this special task. Each of the four tasks was not easy, whether it was resource accumulation or monster removal. It required mobilizing the entire Alliance to complete;

The moment Song Jian received the task, all the people in the City of Hope Alliance received this special task. Everyone was immediately excited;

“I was saying, we have already completed all the steps to create the city, why isn’t there a successful establishment prompt, turns out we need to complete this special task first!” Wang Qi shouted in the Alliance channel.

“This task is too twisted*! All these resources, the time limit of one month is too tight!”

“No matter how twisted* it is, there’s no other way. We can only do our best to complete it, otherwise, all our hard work in this long time will be wasted!”

“Yes, we need to complete it even if we have to grit our teeth, we are the first ones to create a city in Doomsday City, we must succeed!”

…

After thinking for a while, Song Jian directly said, “Wang Qi, bring your team to the Manor Castle, let’s have a meeting to discuss!”

Soon, a dozen of the City of Hope Alliance’s administrators gathered in the conference room. They all wore serious expressions; this task could be said to be the biggest challenge the City of Hope Alliance was facing!
