Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 432 Summoning Human Players - Start Infrastructure Construction

Zhou Leng knew very well that these new players who came this time were not just ordinary players, but she did not take it to heart.

Zhou Leng, as usual, gracefully received all the players who had successfully activated new professions and races in the spacious and elegant reception room of the clan leader's mansion.

Zhou Leng's smile was as beautiful as a flower but her eyes were as sharp as knives. Her eyes were like a cold light, slowly sweeping across the faces of everyone present.

The twelve new players couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy. They knew very well that this patriarch was not just a virtual character. The mysterious power behind him was daunting.

These new players held their breath and trembled with fear. Everyone lowered their heads cautiously, not daring to look him in the eye. Even their breathing became light, for fear of making the slightest sound and attracting Zhou Leng's attention.

"I know that everyone here is an outstanding talent from different forces, but in our mermaid tribe, the player's strength is the only criterion for measuring value! No matter where you come from or what your background is, as long as you have strong strength, you can gain respect and status here. As players, if you can wholeheartedly assist our mermaid tribe and bravely hunt down those terrifying monsters that threaten our survival, then there is no doubt that you will become our most trustworthy allies! Our mermaid tribe will welcome you with open arms and give you generous rewards and endless friendship. Let us join hands and face this world full of unknowns and challenges together!"

The players looked at each other in bewilderment. They were a little stunned by the official opening remarks and such game-like language. Did these words need to be accompanied by such sharp looks? They thought they were exposed.

Zhou Leng ignored their looks and continued, "Dear brave players, because you are all outstanding players, you have triggered the hidden task of the game - Sky City. I believe that you can complete the task and help our mermaids overcome difficulties."

The few players who had just logged into the game basically came with the mentality of trying it out, but as soon as they met the mermaid chief, he gave them a hidden task. No matter if it was a trap or not, they had to take on this task.

The system's mechanical voice sounded:

"Congratulations to all the brave and fearless players! You have successfully gained the absolute trust of the mermaid chief! Next, you will face a crucial hidden mission - the sky city. This mission is the most critical hidden core mission in the entire game of saving the mermaids! Now, please carefully consider whether you are willing to bravely accept this mission full of challenges and unknowns?"

"accept."

All twelve players chose to accept.

Zhou Leng nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "I hope you can complete the task soon. Du Si, you take them with you."

A young girl walked in from outside the door. She had a graceful temperament and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She said softly, "Followers, please follow me."

The twelve players stood up and bowed to Zhou Leng and said goodbye.

After they left, Xiao Xing walked out from behind the screen. He frowned and said, "Chief, these people are different!"

"Oh? Why is it different?"

"It's hard to say. The followers before ignored us. To be more precise, they didn't care much about our feelings, as if we were fake. I know it's because the patriarch used the sea god's spell on them, but these people seem to be more critical. Did they see through the spell?"

Zhou Leng looked at Xiao Xing with admiration. He was handsome and smart, which was really rare. She said softly, "It's okay. The Sea God's magic is not afraid of being discovered."

When Xiaoxing heard this, he straightened his chest slightly and raised his head quietly, as if he was proud that the sea god was looking at him at this moment. In his heart, the patriarch was the wisest and greatest of all the mermaids, because the patriarch was chosen by the sea god to protect the mermaids. In his heart, he can die, but the patriarch must live.

Dus led the twelve players behind him and walked slowly forward. They shuttled between a group of elegant wooden houses. These wooden houses were scattered in an orderly manner, as if it was a beautiful painting painted by nature herself.

A winding, green path appeared before my eyes. The lush vegetation on the roadside seemed to cover the path with a layer of emerald green carpet. The breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of fresh grass and wood fragrance, which made people intoxicated.

For a moment, the twelve players actually forgot that they were in the ocean. They felt as if they were in a park far away from the hustle and bustle. There was no noise or busyness, only the gift of nature and the comfort of the soul.

A simple wooden door appeared at the end of the road. When Dus opened it, he found a light film.

"Everyone, Dus will take you here. After passing through this place, you will reach where you should be."

"Thank you, Miss Dus." A player thanked politely.

Dus nodded and looked at them quietly.

The twelve players smiled wryly and passed through the light gate one after another.

When Dus saw the player disappear, she gently closed the wooden door, made a complicated handprint on the door, and turned and left.

The twelve players passed through the light film and were teleported to a mysterious underwater city that Zhou Leng had newly created through the game system.

As time went by, more and more players poured in, and the originally spacious Starry Sky Plaza became crowded with people. Zhou Leng could only build another underwater city for these players to use.

The system gave this city a poetic and fantasy name - "Sky City". The foundation of the city was found by Zhou Leng in the open sea. She found a beautiful island and used magic and the system's unique refining technique to transform it into a paradise.

The entire city in the sky was shrouded in a thin layer of light film, like a huge protective shield that completely isolated the surging sea water.

When people look far away, a dream island floating in the deep ocean comes into view, surrounded by green trees and a small and exquisite hill rising from the ground. All this is like a dream, making people doubt whether what they see is real.

The system prompted the twelve players again: "Brave players, the Sky City is still in the preparation stage. We need the inner elixirs and flesh of monsters. Please kill 1,000 giant-toothed monsters, 1,000 ghost-headed monsters, 5,000 swollen-headed monsters, and 10,000 sunken-horned monsters. The reward for completing the mission is 50% favorability with the mermaid chief."

The players shouted in their hearts: This is really a trap! How long will this killing process last?

Zhou Leng’s purpose was very clear. Stay away from me and don’t get close to me. Go kill the monsters. I need a lot of flesh and blood for the starry sky vortex to absorb, and I also need the hard parts of the monsters to refine the weapon.
