Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 629: Successive Breakthroughs!

"Heaven laughs, the world's tides surge... who will win, who will lose..."

"Heaven knows... la la... la la... Come on, everyone sing together!"

At this moment, I hear this melody with its ups and downs and catchy tune.

Coupled with lyrics that are full of heroic spirit, lofty ambition, and a strong sense of chivalry.

A powerful aura emanates from the person, who is high above yet at peace with themselves.

Many people closed their eyes slightly, immersed in the moment, enjoying this beautiful experience.

"Come on! Finish this one, there are three more..."

Many others, however, simply enjoyed drinks and conversation.

The scene felt like a gathering of heroes, a grand martial arts tournament.

The clinking of glasses echoed throughout the room, and a sense of heroic spirit rose in everyone's hearts.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks and conversation.

Suddenly, a series of booming sounds rang out.

Somewhere in the field.

Suddenly, bursts of light flashed, and powerful energy fluctuations surged forth.

"This is..." Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice and were immediately shocked.

It turns out that someone had drunk the Night-Shining Dew and milk, and then ate mulberries.

With such exciting and upbeat music playing, my mind felt incredibly clear and open.

As a result, many people broke through the bottleneck in one go!

Moreover, it wasn't just one or two people who made breakthroughs; there were as many as seven or eight.

"Hahaha... Ten years! I've finally broken through to the seventh rank!" A middle-aged powerhouse at the peak of the sixth rank laughed heartily. His eyes held the bitterness of being stuck at the bottleneck for ten years, but at this moment, the bitterness was swept away, leaving only joy.

"Hahaha...Me too! It's been stuck for me for years!" another person exclaimed.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"

"Thank you so much, Lord City Lord, for saving my life!"

The group suddenly turned to Xiao Yu, who was in the main seat, and wanted to kneel down on one knee to express their gratitude.

"Everyone, there's no need for that!"

Xiao Yu simply smiled faintly and raised his hand slightly.

Then an invisible force lifted the people a hundred meters away.

The design of the main seat in the banquet hall is similar to that of an ancient imperial palace.

The main seat is more than a meter higher than the main hall below, giving it a somewhat superior feel.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was sitting in the main seat.

He was surrounded by Crimson Lotus and Queen Medusa, who kept him company while he drank and made merry.

"Brother," Honglian said, taking a small sip of wine, "Why haven't I seen June and the others?"

The Dark Guards are the strongest defensive force, surpassing even the city's garrison and the police force.

Normally, wherever Xiao Yu goes, there are always three beast-eared girls secretly following him, but now...

"Hehe." Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously, raised his chin and said, "They are right here, but... you can't see them."

"What? Right here?" Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa looked around and exclaimed in surprise, "I can vaguely sense their presence, but I don't know exactly where they are. You've dressed them all in invisibility dragon armor?"

“That’s right. We only got all five of them today.” Xiao Yu nodded.

"As expected of you!" Queen Medusa sensed the area again, but still couldn't locate the women. She gave them a thumbs up and praised them with a smile.

Orcs' five senses far surpass those of humans.

And she... is a super strong person who could break through to the ninth level at any time.

If Xiao Yu hadn't reminded her, she would have had no idea that the girls were there.

After all, the city lord's mansion was his own stronghold.

Although everyone who comes here has made a significant contribution to Dragon City.

But... one should always be wary of others!

Therefore, Xiao Yu spent half a day crafting several sets of stealth armor.

Wu Weier and her five friends were hidden in the banquet hall.

At that moment, some people were whispering among themselves in a corner.

But what they don't know is.

In the shadows, someone stood before them, silently watching them.

"Lord City Lord, we have new intelligence!" Just as Xiao Yu was drinking and having fun with the two women, Wu Weier's voice came to his ears.

"Speak," Xiao Yu replied calmly.

"It's about... the three mysterious islands that Xiao Zhuo reported to you!" In a corner of the main hall, Wu Wei'er stood quietly, watching a young man drinking and boasting with a disheveled old man.

She knew both of them; the slovenly old man was called Bucky, and the young man was called Aokiji.

Both were famous, because Buggy liked to boast, while Aokiji was very sociable.

He was only a sixth-tier early-stage mutant, and his performance in the previous beast tide battle was mediocre.

However, thanks to his excellent interpersonal relationships, he was invited to a banquet.

At that moment, the slovenly old man seemed to have gotten drunk, and then he started boasting.

They talked about the places they had been, the grand scenes they had witnessed, and so on...

The young man immediately looked at him with disdain, mocking the slovenly old man for bragging without even thinking.

The slovenly old man immediately became furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide, but then he suddenly became serious and lowered his voice, saying...

"I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else! Ten years ago, when I was at the peak of the sixth rank, I accidentally fell off a cliff. I miraculously survived and discovered a hidden world beneath the cliff. That's how I learned a divine skill—no, I should say... I discovered another world! Three islands..."

"Is that really true? I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me!" the young man asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely true! If I'm lying, may my rotten little penis be cursed!" the slovenly old man declared righteously.

Upon hearing this, Wu Weier couldn't help but roll her eyes wildly.

That lewd old bastard.

If it weren't for the need to keep her location a secret, she would have slapped him long ago.

But she didn't dare to be careless and immediately relayed the slovenly old man's words to Xiao Yu verbatim.

"Oh, interesting. He's actually an eighth-tier expert." A moment later, after receiving a telepathic message from the fox-eared girl, Xiao Yu's gaze also fell on the disheveled man with sloppy hair, his eyes filled with amusement. "He's really good at hiding his abilities!"

He hadn't paid much attention to the old man before.

But now, using his talent for perceiving all things, he instantly realized that the slovenly old man was not simple.

His strength has reached the eighth rank, and he's even at the late stage of the eighth rank!

Why is such a powerful figure, no weaker than the Black Soil City Lord, in Dragon City?

However, the words of an eighth-level expert are much more credible.

The moment Xiao Yu looked at him, the slovenly old man instinctively looked over.

The next second, he immediately looked away, his heart skipping a beat.

'Have I been discovered?! How could that be? No, this Dragon City Lord is too terrifying! I'd better leave as soon as possible!' The slovenly old man thought to himself, already considering leaving.

But... considering that Dragon City has so many exquisite delicacies and fine wines.

He had heard that the Lord of Dragon City would be holding such banquets regularly from now on!

With his abilities, getting a banquet invitation would be as easy as drinking water for him.

"Forget it, I'll just crash a few more banquets first..."

........

The grand banquet at the city lord's mansion began in the afternoon and continued until night.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I have some very important news to announce!"

After everyone had finished eating, Xiao Yu gestured for everyone to be quiet before speaking loudly:

"Starting tomorrow, all food and other goods in Longcheng will be discounted. Details will be announced in a poster tomorrow..."

"What? All food prices will go down? Really?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, seemingly unable to believe it.

“That’s right! As I, the city lord, said, starting tomorrow, prices will be uniformly reduced!” Xiao Yu said again.
