The muscular man turned around, looking at Dragon City General kneeling on one knee, and was visibly stunned for a moment.
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't accept disciples."
"Ah? Why?" Dragon City General asked in surprise.
"You're too weak." The muscular man shook his head and sighed.
"I can become stronger!" Dragon City General guaranteed loudly.
He was a player, and for players, wasn't becoming stronger as simple as eating and drinking?
But the muscular man still shook his head: "Then come back after you've become stronger."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the giant tower's gate.
Dragon City General looked at his back and suddenly realized a problem—
"Wait, did I just talk to an NPC?"
"Dream Architect even thought about players wanting to become disciples, and even created lines and voice acting?"
"As expected of Dream Architect! Too strong!"
This made him certain that this muscular man must be a very important character!
Even if Dream Architect is efficient and rich, it's impossible for them to give every NPC a line library and arrange voice actors, right?
—Not to mention, he also has rich action modules and facial expression changes.
If they made NPCs according to this standard, then building this city would take 10 years!
Understanding this, Dragon City General was even more unwilling to let him go.
He quickly caught up with the muscular man, wanting to chat a bit more.
"Guild Leader, what are you doing? Aren't we going to cut off the beast horde's retreat?" A teammate popped out, trying to get things back on track.
"That's not urgent!" Dragon City General waved his hand.
Anyway, this tactic of cutting off the retreat was just a whim he and his friends had.
Executing it later would at most result in more players dying.
It wasn't a big deal.
But if he missed such an important NPC, who knew when he'd have a second chance to meet him.
"Let me become a disciple first!"
"This kind of wild fighting style that relies on brute force and head-on collisions with monsters is completely prepared for me!"
"Missing it would be a regret for a year!"
"Become a disciple?" Fire Blade also stepped forward, "Isn't that just a difference in stats? When Dream Architect opens the upgrade system, you can raise your strength, and you'll naturally be able to suplex rhinos, right?"
"No, didn't you guys notice?" Dragon City General was instead confused, "He used a skill when he shouted!"
"Skill? What skill?"
After completing the back suplex, that "aura" quickly dissipated.
This was obviously a big move!
Dragon City General saw it clearly!
Seeing that his master was about to disappear into the tower, he didn't bother explaining and quickly ran over.
While running, he shouted: "Master! Wait for me, Master!"
"Please accept me!"
"When Dream Architect opens the recharge channel, I will definitely treat you well!"
He had just run to the door when he was stopped by two guards—
"Sorry, sir, due to an emergency, Sky Arena is temporarily closed to entry and exit."
"Then he..." Dragon City General pointed to the muscular NPC's back and asked.
"Mr. Long is the floor master of Sky Arena's 230th floor, the top fighter in Sprout City, of course he can enter and exit freely."
"Sky Arena, floor master, fighter?" Dragon City General quickly extracted the keywords.
"Then, can I register to become a fighter?"
"Anyone can register to become a boxer." The guard said seriously, "But the title of [Fighter] can only be obtained through victory in the arena."
"That's exactly what I want!"
Dragon City General immediately became interested and shouted at Mr. Long, who hadn't left:
"If I become a fighter, can you teach me that move!?"
Mr. Long turned his head, sized up Dragon City General a few times, and then replied: "Climb to the 100th floor first."
"How will I find you then?"
"I will come find you then." This muscular man who had physically fought a rhino left these words and then turned and left coolly.
Dragon City General then raised his neck under the tower, trying to see the top of this giant tower.
But that was of course impossible.
Not to mention it was night now, even in the daytime, it was impossible to see the top while standing at the foot of the giant tower.
It was too high, the top had already touched the sky above thousands of meters.
"No wonder it's called Sky Arena." Dragon City General couldn't help but sigh.
Then he ignited on his own—
"One day, I will definitely reach the top!"
After saying that, he stopped pestering and cheerfully turned back to his teammates, "Go! Cut off the beast horde's retreat! Kill all these monsters!"
"Don't delay me from becoming a fighter!"
The teammates heard his conversation with the NPC and also developed a lot of curiosity about this Sky Arena.
But now that the giant tower was closed to entry, whatever ideas they had were useless.
The most urgent thing was still to clear the beast horde!
These people were all group friends, and they usually played [Infernal Realm] together when they had nothing to do, and their cooperation was very tacit, even if they switched from hot weapons to cold weapons now, their combat power was still not to be underestimated.
The latest and most complete novels are at !
They suddenly rushed out of the alley, cutting off the charging beast horde on the due north road in one breath.
Afterwards, the team split into two.
Half of the people held off the impact, and the other half chased after the beasts' butts, hacking and slashing wildly, and the killing efficiency far exceeded head-on confrontation!
…
Xu Meng was still sitting on the edge of the airship.
Little Meng also appeared beside him, her two small legs dangling outside the airship, and her mood was extremely good.
"How's the progress?" Xu Meng asked.
"So-so! About 5%." Little Meng gave him an accurate number.
Xu Meng looked at the players below, barely blocking the beast horde's impact outside the central square.
Only a small number of people tried to flank and divide the beast horde by taking advantage of Sprout City's complex road system.
The main force was still fighting to the death with the beast horde and monsters on the main road.
Casualties were heavy.
"It seems we need to give them some encouragement."
Xu Meng thought for a while and said to Little Meng: "Little Meng, release the points leaderboard."
"No problem!" Little Meng clapped her small hands.
So, on the largest display screen in the central square, the [Rebirth] company's prosthetic advertisement instantly disappeared.
Replaced by a freshly baked [City Defense War Hunting Points Leaderboard].
200 player IDs and avatars were displayed one by one from top to bottom.
However, the further down, the more drastic the changes in rank!
The total points behind the IDs were changing every minute and every second.
Xu Meng watched for a while, and after confirming that the players were caught in a fierce battle, he went offline to rest.
—At this rate, it would take at least until tomorrow afternoon to complete the cleanup.
He didn't plan to stay up all night waiting.
Leave overtime to the media!
Xu Meng was a little gloating.
And this gloating was soon punished—
At 10:58 PM, Xu Meng had already gone to bed for a health-preserving sleep.
Little Meng, wearing pink pajamas, suddenly appeared on the bed, sat on the quilt with a thud, and shook Xu Meng's small head:
"Master, Master, wake up quickly."
"If you don't wake up, you'll miss it!"
Xu Meng doesn't wear a tactile synchronization suit when he sleeps, so he can't feel Little Meng's shaking.
But he could hear Little Meng's voice.
In the strong drowsiness, he barely opened his eyes a crack: "Miss what?"
"The monsters in Sprout City are about to be killed, only 5% left!"
"No, there's only 4% left!"
Little Meng quickly reported the progress to him.
"?" Xu Meng's mind was a mess, "So fast???"
"Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow?"
"They carried out a major mobilization, organized most of the people, and also robbed the Sprout City Law Enforcement Bureau."
"Robbed the Law Enforcement Bureau???" Xu Meng immediately woke up a lot.
"That's right! They also robbed shops, set fires everywhere, and... also blew up the sewers!"
"???"
This time Xu Meng was completely awake!
