Chapter 149: Shengcang Academy! One-Day Tour of the Star City!

As the largest lord academy in this star region, the Lord Academy of Shengcang City has an area that is not inferior to a human city with a population of 5 to 8 million. It is one of the most important places in Shengcang City!

Tens of thousands of lords graduate from here every year.

It continuously replenishes the living force against the abyss for this star region.

According to tradition, every new lord will return to the academy to register after returning from the abyss.

This day is the day when the stars return. All the tutor halls of Shengcang Academy are open. Hundreds of tutors of the latest graduating lords are full of expectations at this moment, hoping that their students can return safely.

After all, the achievement and treatment of tutors are positively correlated with the survival rate and development of students.

There are many tutors in Shengcang Academy.

Xuan Qingfeng is one of them.

He was originally one of the most famous human lords in Shengcang City. He became a senior lord of the fourth level after fighting in the abyss for thirty or forty years. He was once considered to be expected to refresh the peak record of the human lords of Shengcang City and was highly expected.

However.

Although Xuan Qingfeng is an excellent lord.

But the tolerance rate of human lords is too low.

The world of the abyss is strange and unpredictable. How can there be a lord who never makes mistakes?

Due to a mistake and accident, Xuan Qingfeng's army, which he had worked hard for forty years, was destroyed, and he completely lost the opportunity to be promoted to the fifth-level great lord. Later, the territory was completely destroyed by the threat of the abyss power and the hostile lord.

The lord's career ended here!

Fortunately, although he lost his territory and became a retired lord, he retained a strong strength and had more than forty years of experience in fighting in the abyss.

With this qualification.

Countless great lords threw olive branches.

It is not difficult to find a good job.

But after Xuan Qingfeng experienced a disastrous defeat, he seemed to never want to set foot in the abyss world again, so he refused the recruitment of various forces, and joined the Lord Academy of Shengcang City to become a lord mentor.

The Land of Stars is a place with strict hierarchy and order.

Although Xuan Qingfeng is quite famous in Shengcang City, he is only a retired lord and a human after all. It is almost impossible for him to recruit students with high qualifications. The students he can teach are generally of lower races, and humans are the main ones.

Even among the tutors of Shengcang Academy.

Human tutors are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

After all, the majority of people in the Star Land only believe in race and qualifications.

These people believe that racial talent determines everything, and the battle of the abyss should be left to the upper races and some middle races. For lower races like humans who have no racial talent, the only value of existence is to assist other lords.

In the eyes of these people.

It is wishful thinking for humans to change their fate.

Human lord tutors like Xuan Qingfeng should not exist.

This kind of behavior that knows it is impossible is extremely stupid and consumes the overall potential of the Star Race.

Although Xuan Qingfeng has been discriminated against, he has never regretted or complained since he decided to become a tutor. He firmly believes that even the race with the weakest talent has the qualifications and rights to change fate.

He failed.

But he hopes to help young people with dreams.

He believed that there would always be someone with better qualifications and luck than himself who could fulfill his unrealized ideal!

It took Xuan Qingfeng ten years to finally bring out the first batch of students. Today is the first return day for this batch of students. He is full of anxiety at the moment, and there are several colleagues in the same tutor hall.

Among them is a giant with a height of 50 meters and lightning wrapped around his body, and a tree man with a height of 30 to 40 meters and lush branches and leaves all over his body. At this moment, the two tutors are communicating as if no one is around not far away.

The tree man tutor asked: "How did the students of tutor Lei perform this year?"

The giant tutor smiled: "It's average, average, 25 returned, and three middle-upper race students reached the second level, and successfully opened the second map."

The tree man tutor admired: "The students taught by tutor Lei are really amazing!"

The giant tutor: "Teacher Shu is not much behind!"

After the two tutors praised each other for a while.

Finally, their eyes fell on the silent Xuan Qingfeng.

There was more teasing, ridicule and disdain in their eyes.

The giant mentor asked knowingly: "Hey, it's been a while since the return day, why haven't I seen a few of Master Xuan's students come back?"

The tree man mentor laughed: "Master Xuan Qingfeng is helpful, but it's a pity that most humans have low qualifications. They are just a pile of rotten wood that cannot be carved. It's a miracle that they are favored by the stars to become lords. They can't get decent investment at all. I'm afraid they don't have enough resources to build a teleportation station!"

The giant mentor gloated: "I heard that Master Xuan has a human student with good overall quality, but he ended up in the abyss plane of the Eternal Night. What's the difference between this behavior and committing suicide?"

The tree man mentor said: "Human? Eternal Night Plane? Hahaha, if he can come back alive, I am willing to eat expired goblin feces every day."

The two lords talked loudly.

Xuan Qingfeng heard everything.

The two lords mentioned Hang Yu, the student he brought out.

Although Hang Yu is a human, he is the one with the highest qualifications and the best overall quality in his class.

Even though it is impossible for him to become a legendary lord as a human being, his talent is entirely possible to become as good as himself in the past, and even if he is lucky, he can surpass himself in the past!

Unfortunately...

Hang Yu's luck was too bad.

His territory actually reached the Eternal Night Layer.

The human lords had a very low tolerance rate. They spent more than ten years or even decades to train an army, but it could be completely destroyed at any time due to a misjudgment or accident.

The Eternal Night Layer was not only extremely distorted, but also full of evil gods. The higher the level of the map, the more terrifying and weird it was. How could a lower-level race gain a foothold in such a place?

Even Xuan Qingfeng no longer supported Hang Yu's path to being a lord.

Even being a producer would be better than going to the Eternal Night Layer to die.

But this young man was too stubborn.

This matter had spread in the Lord Academy and even attracted the attention of Principal Long. No one had ever been optimistic about his ending, but he still chose to enter the abyss, even without any investment.

Xuan Qingfeng regretted it now.

He should have tried harder to persuade him at that time.

Although he encouraged young people to pursue their dreams.

But he would never encourage such a death-seeking behavior.

"You are a mentor of Shengcang students after all. It's not good to cheat for food and drink in public, right?"

Hang Yu had teleported to the mentor hall with four followers. He happened to hear the two mentors teasing him, so he retorted rudely.

He is a graduate of the academy.

But now he is a lord.

Naturally, he will not let anyone look down on him.

"Hang Yu!"

"You are back?"

"What? He is Hang Yu!"

"He is the human who went to the Eternal Night Abyss?!"

"Isn't this guy dead? He can come back alive!"

At this time, there are many mentors and lord students in the mentor hall. At this moment, their eyes and attention are focused on Hang Yu. Everyone's expression is very wonderful, just like seeing a ghost.

Hang Yu not only came back alive.

He and several followers of his clan have reached the second level.

How is this possible? He is just a human, and he has only been in the abyss for more than 20 days.

Ye Limeng, Xiao Lingdang, Hei Tong Rui Ge, and Jiubei Wangyue, all four of them were holding various gifts in their hands. At this moment, facing the gazes of many lords and mentors, they also straightened their chests and looked proud.

Hang Yu felt that he was almost becoming a joke in the academy during this period of time.

He did not bother with these people. After all, he believed that it would not be long before the entire Shengcang Academy would understand that all the ridicule and gloating would eventually turn into a slap in his face.

"Hang Yu, what are you doing..."

Xuan Qingfeng personally stood up to greet Hang Yu.

He was very shocked when he felt the change of Hang Yu, who was like a reborn.

Xuan Qingfeng was once the most outstanding human lord in Shengcang City. He knew very well how difficult the road of human lords was. He really couldn't believe that someone could achieve such a high achievement in such a short time.

"Incredible!"

"Too incredible!"

"What happened to you?"

"You actually reached the second level in less than a month!"

Xuan Qingfeng looked up and down at Hang Yu, his face full of excitement and ecstasy.

"There were some adventures." Hang Yu had hidden most of his aura.

Even so, Hang Yu's return still caused a sensation in the academy. After all, even Xuan Qingfeng took five years to become a second-level lord, which was considered fast among human lords.

As for what happened.

Hang Yu did not reveal it, but simply summarized it as an adventure.

After all, the abyss world is full of chaos and opportunities. It is normal for a lord to have adventures at a rapid pace. No one will dig into this issue. After all, everyone has their own privacy.

As for whether someone will do bad things?

Hang Yu has never worried about this.

After all, the constraints of the laws of the stars are not for show.

"Sorry, I was delayed on the way, so I came back a little late!"

After Hang Yu teleported from the outer port to Shengcang Academy, he first took four players around to stroll around, allowing the players to open their eyes again, and bought some gifts for meeting the instructors by the way, which cost about 500 magic crystals. The value of the gifts is not low but not too expensive.

He waved his hand.

The four players stepped forward immediately.

They presented the gift to Xuan Qingfeng.

"You are my best student. Your return is the biggest surprise. You should use all your resources on territory construction!"

That's what he said.

But he had already bought it.

Xuan Qingfeng could only accept it.

The human lord mentor was full of a sense of accomplishment at this moment.

He felt that his efforts and persistence in the past ten years had paid off.

The fact that Hang Yu came back alive from the Eternal Night Layer would probably spread quickly in Shengcang Academy. This was enough to make him a celebrity in the academy.

Next.

The two of them talked for an hour or two.

Xiao Lingdang, Ye Limeng, Hei Tong Ruige, and Jiubei Wangyue, four players, stood aside for punishment throughout the whole process. Hang Yu used the Heavenly Dao Cube to restrict them from speaking or moving.

If this kind of game experience was changed to other games, they would have cursed their mothers long ago.

But the four of them did not feel unhappy, but enjoyed it with relish.

Because since coming to Shengcang City, the land of stars, what they received every minute and every second was beyond imagination. Every corner of this miracle city and every NPC in this place hides a huge amount of information.

Xuan Qingfeng asked Hang Yu about the situation of the Three Kingdoms of the Abyss.

Hang Yu only gave a general description without telling any details.

Xuan Qingfeng also tacitly refused to ask further questions about this, because as a former high-ranking lord, he knew the lord's privacy concerns, and just lamented the danger of the eternal night abyss.

"Although you have drawn the second map, you are still in the early stages of exploring the abyss!"

Xuan Qingfeng said with a serious expression and sincere words: "As your personal strength and territorial strength increase, and as the number of exploration areas increases, the areas you come into contact with will become more twisted and crazy, and the lord wars triggered will become more and more intense. Tough and difficult!”

"So don't take it lightly and leave more escape routes for yourself!"

"Although you are my most outstanding student, it is not realistic to conquer the abyss with a human body, let alone the eternal night layer where evil gods and taboos are everywhere. I suggest that you stop developing new areas and practice yourself to improve your strength and production. Resources first.”

"Your current strength is enough to silence all doubters. As long as you play steadily and don't be too radical, you can find a very respectable job in Shengcang City even if you don't become a lord and retire directly in the future!"

"..."

After all.

Still don't believe that Hang Yu can stay in the abyss for a long time.

Although this suggestion is pertinent from Xuan Qingfeng's point of view.

But with the fourth natural disaster in hand, Hang Yu is fearless in the abyss and will never flinch even if there is danger.

Xuan Qingfeng: "Although I am no longer a lord, I still have a lot of experience and connections. If you need help with anything, don't worry, you can tell me at any time."

Having said that.

Hang Yu was not polite.

"My territory is currently developing well and I haven't encountered much trouble. However, there is a small matter that I hope my mentor can help me with."

"you say!"

"I can gain a foothold in the abyss. Principal Long has helped me a lot. If possible, I hope to meet Principal Long and express my gratitude to her in person and give her a small gift."

Ashamed to say it.

When Hang Yu was withdrawn from various investments.

Xuan Qingfeng did not help at that time because he was against Hang Yu entering the abyss.

Unexpectedly, Hang Yu would be so stubborn that he actually wrote to Principal Long and applied for a loan that was just a drop in the bucket. Unexpectedly, Hang Yu actually succeeded in establishing a foothold in the abyss with this little resource!

"Okay, I will convey your request for a visit right now. However, as the legendary lord, the principal has many things to do and may not have time to meet you in person!"

"understand!"

Hang Yu knew what was going on.

A legendary lord is also the principal of Shengcang Lord Academy.

How can a person of this level have so much time to meet a cute new lord?

The reason why Hang Yu proposed to visit was purely because Principal Long helped him. Maybe it was just a simple effort. People may not remember such a small role like him, but he should have the attitude he should have towards the elders who helped him at the most critical moment. And sincerity still needs to be expressed in place.

As for whether we can meet?

It's not that important.

Principal Long is a busy man, so even if he refuses to meet, it is completely understandable.

Hang Yu would ask his mentor to help deliver the gift, and he would repay the favor from now on.

Soon after.

Xuan Qingfeng brought back the news.

"Principal Long is still busy now, but I can take some time to meet with you in ten hours."

He paused and continued: "Principal Long seems to be quite interested in you. I hope you will perform well in front of Principal Long. The connections and face of such a legendary lord are extremely useful."

See you in ten hours?

Hang Yu found that time passed quickly.

It had been almost ten hours since he returned to the stars.

But even if ten hours pass, there is still some time for the return day, enough time to meet with Principal Long, and then return to the abyss after the meeting, ending this short journey to the stars.

not much time.

Did not stay any longer.

After all, it’s not easy to come back.

Hang Yu is ready to race against time to do more meaningful and valuable things.

However, because Hang Yu is not well-known yet, he cannot participate in various high-value lord activities and does not have enough time. Even some new lord exchange meetings have no time to sign up.

Time is so tight!

If you can be like those big lords and stay as long as you want, it will be much more convenient whether it is life or obtaining material information.

Whatever.

Let’s go to the Lord’s Market of Shengcang City.

In this kind of place, you can collect all kinds of intelligence, buy supplies and services, and there is a certain probability that you can pick up good things.

As for why there is a trading floor.

Want to go shopping in the land of stars?

Because it is almost impossible to buy something too high-end or too rare on the trading floor.

Even putting aside the transaction quality restricted by the building level, the more than 10,000 lords in the hall are all human lords, of which the first and second levels account for the vast majority. The number of third-level lords is extremely rare, and the fourth-level lords are even rarer. The trading items provided are naturally limited.

The territory trading hall is mainly used for trading basic materials, common equipment, and conventional blueprints.

Want to try your luck at buying a real rarity.

You also have to come to the land of stars to hunt for treasures.

…………

Soon after, Ye Limeng and the other three followed the lord and walked out of a small teleportation station. A bustling business district full of vitality, fantasy and imagination appeared in front of them.

Although I saw too many wonderful sights in Shengcang City along the way, I was still surprised when I saw the prosperous scene in front of me.

Shengcang City is full of vitality.

This vitality comes not only from the huge population, bustling streets, magnificent buildings and incredible wonders.

No need to question.

Shengcang City is very big.

Big beyond human imagination.

The scene design of some games or comics is equally grand, but it feels very empty, more like being big for the sake of being big, majestic for the sake of majesty, to the point where it has no soul at all.

Shengcang City is different.

It’s not just huge and majestic.

It is full of humanistic atmosphere and massive details.

The main mode of transportation in the entire city is teleportation. Various mounts are only used for short-distance transportation. Various teleportation stations are as common as bus stations in human society.

Whether it is the flashing holographic advertisement near the teleportation station, whether it is the floating giant ship loaded with goods and flags, or the various family emblems and business symbols, or everyone's clothes and grooming, they are all full of rationality and Spirituality.

The functions and designs of the buildings, sculptures, streets, greenery and various wonders you see all give people a wonderful sense of creativity and harmony. There is no ostentation, and the whole city seems to be a natural work of art.

Nothing can be deleted.

No more can be added.

So grand yet so exquisite.

Four players arrived like country bumpkins coming to town.

Every minute and every second, I received tons of shocks and critical blows.

Among them, Xiao Lingdang, Ye Limeng, and Brother Heitongrui just treat everything as a super realistic and perfect game scene.

Raising a glass to the moon has a completely different mentality. He has been trying to find flaws from the beginning. He has tried very hard to prove that this is all a virtual world.

But it's all in vain!

It is different from Shansang City.

The scale and population of Shengcang are ten thousand or ten million times that of Shansang!

There is no reference element in Shengcang’s design elements. All details, functions, structures, and artistic styles of the entire city are independent of the earth.

The most important thing is that everyone in this place can interact, communicate, and have wisdom, at least that's what I see so far.

This is not a virtual world!

This is the real world!

Shengcang is just a city in the Tianyuan Star Territory. There are at least three cities of this size in the Tianyuan Star Territory. There are countless other large and small cities, and the total population is more than ten times that of human beings in the world!

The Stars Sanctuary corresponds to the abyss plane.

Just like there must be more than one abyssal plane.

There will not be only one star field.

Raising a glass to the moon, there is no doubt that all star city-states and all star sanctuaries really exist. Even if they cannot be seen with the naked eye now, and even if players have never been there, everything in them is developing and running.

"Three Kingdoms" is not a game!

Players enter a real world!

A world with a hidden world view that is unimaginably large!

While raising a glass and looking at the moon, I was shocked and sweated at the work of the special team. When the settings of Shengcang City and the Land of Stars were exposed by players, how would the special team explain the existence of all this?

And all this.

How should it affect the real world?

It doesn't matter what the players think of Hang Yu.

It's his shopping time now.

There are many shops in the Lord's Market, and behind them are big lords or powerful lord families.

[Big reward for the 520th anniversary of the store! The great master of weapon refining is personally in charge! Various weapon customization services at the lowest price in a century! 】

[Tianyun Magic Crystal Bank! The ultra-low interest rate Meng Xin Lord Loan allows you to borrow quickly and repay comfortably! 】

【Level 4 drawings! Starting from 100,000 magic crystals! 】

【Good quality and low price! Adorable new lord business area! You are welcome to come and discuss cooperation! 】

【……】

There are all kinds of shops and services here.

Naturally, these include common weapon refining and medicine refining.

If the production level of many lords in their own territories is not good enough, they will return to the stars to customize equipment or medicines.

There are super weapon refining workshops and high-end customized weapon refining shops here. As long as you can afford enough magic crystals, their masters can refine equipment for you.

Hang Yu casually picked up an advertisement.

[Blueprint: Sacred Dragon Hatching Lair], fifth-level blueprint, 2 million magic crystals!

[Blueprint: Multifunctional Matrix Portal], fourth-level blueprint, 1 million magic crystals!

[Blueprint: Super Arms Integration Strengthening Test Site], fourth-level blueprint, 800,000 magic crystals!

【……】

"hiss!"

"Good guy!"

"This doesn't seem like the place I should be!"

Hang Yu looked at the tall store in front of him that was shining brightly and shrouded in holy light, then looked at the temporary stall area next to it, and finally walked to the temporary stall, which focused on being down-to-earth.

Brother Heitong Rui: "It seems that our lord is not rich either!"

Ye Limeng: "Nonsense, the lords have never collected taxes from us. The financial level of the territory is definitely not high. We should propose to the planners and ask the territory to increase transaction tax and commercial tax for players."

Little Lingdang nodded: "It is everyone's responsibility to support the development of the territory. I feel very heartbroken when I see that the lords do not go to the counters for consumption and can only browse the goods on the street stalls!"

These players are really sensible!

He actually offered his own advice and harvested himself.

Hang Yu took a quick look at the temporary stall area.

Soon he found something of interest at one of the lords' temporary stalls.

[Revelation Stone], a rare blue consumable... When used on an unknown map area, the map name of the location area can be obtained, and the remaining quantity is: 3.

Hang Yu saw this.

He felt his eyes light up.

It's right to come to the Star Land to shop!

I encountered good things that can't be bought in the trading market so soon!

Hang Yu can't trade blue quality items at all in the current trading market. In addition, such rare consumable items can only be encountered in the market of the Star Land.

The use of the Revelation Stone is very simple.

It can display the information of unknown maps.

Hang Yu is about to open the fourth map next. If there is the assistance of this prop, it can bring great benefits and try to open a more valuable map.

This is crucial for the development of the territory.

It plays a vital role!
