Chapter 725: Zhiyuan City
Zhiyuan City is the former Zhiyuan Town. It is the farthest city from the surface of the earth. There are still 20,000 or 30,000 kilometers away from the Holy Dragon City.
Beforehand, everyone communicated in the spirit net, and the adventurers from outside the sky got the news early in the morning, and they ended their adventure tasks ahead of schedule and rushed to Zhiyuan City. At the same time, people from many cities outside the world also rushed to Zhiyuan City.
After all, Tianwaitian is the earliest development of cultivation technology in the underground world, and it is also the most advanced and developed area in the underground world with the most puppeteers, the most cultivators, and the most advanced.
Zhiyuan City developed from a town to a small border city, that was still after Ding Yi and the others left, in a few months, this original city of only one or two thousand people, has now expanded into a tourist city with a resident population of one or two thousand, can accept more than 100,000 tourists on a daily basis.
Zhiyuan City, and several other cities outside the sky, do not have a rail train yet, but with the sale of the outer heaven mecha, even mortals can control the mecha to fly over. Therefore, even though Zhiyuan City is very far away from several big cities outside the sky, there are still a lot of people who flock to it.
Zhiyuan City, in just a few days, millions of people poured in, and even used the reserve warehouse that had just been built in Zhiyuan City, but Zhao Sheng, who had just been elected mayor, was not unhappy at all.
Zhao Sheng was injured after ending the conquest of the Outer Heaven to the underworld. He retired from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One-third of his body is made of various steel parts and repair materials made of prosthetic limbs.
As the earliest of the twelve families of the Tianlong Kingdom to rely on Ding Yi, the Zhao family, at the same time, he has a military background, and he has military merits, so it is not surprising that he can serve as the mayor of Zhiyuan City.
Zhiyuan City is the city farthest into the underground passage of the outer heavens, and hundreds of fifth-level adventurers come to this city every day, where they repair their equipment and replenish their supplies, and prepare for their exploration adventures in the underground passages.
The underground passage is actually very dangerous, even if it is outside the sky, there will still be monsters intruding from time to time. With the approval of the Cabinet, the Adventurers' Guild recruits warriors from the society who dare to challenge themselves and are not afraid of danger and sacrifice to go to the underground passages to explore.
Players who can pass the fantasy games "Abyss", "Dawn", and "White Night" will be automatically upgraded to Level 3 Adventurers, and they will become Level 4 Adventurers after they have passed all the physical fitness and various training standards.
Level 4 adventurers can upgrade to level 5 adventurers after completing the learning and use of equipment and equipment, and after completing a series of assessments.
Only by becoming a level 5 adventurer can you be qualified to come to a border town like Zhiyuan City and enter the underground passage. At the same time, only those who have reached the level 5 adventurer qualification can join the national militia of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom.
Those who arrived in Zhiyuan City were all adventurers of level 5 and above. Ninety percent of the people who came to Zhiyuan City were mortals, and the vast majority of them were retired veterans.
Xiang Tianjiao led the construction of the military department and promoted the youth, specialization and modernization of the army. After completing the grand cause of conquering the underworld, in addition to retaining some elite backbones, many veterans were disarmed and returned to the field and forced to retire.
Although staying in the place, the care and welfare given by the local government are very generous, but it is still the best choice for many veterans to go to the underground passage and take risks.
Zhao Sheng likes to deal with this group of people, although he is a child of a family, but after three years of academy career and three years of life experience, the temperament of a disciple of a family on his body has long been gone. He likes his current life and likes to mingle with those men who have been fighting for a long time.
Knowing that Ding Yi and the others were coming back and coming to Zhiyuan City, he was so happy that he almost fainted. Hurriedly placed orders with the surrounding farms, pastures, orchards, and wineries, and sent a call for help to various nearby towns. The 10,000 citizens of Zhiyuan City recruited 50,000 adventurers and set out together to transform Zhiyuan City. Adventurers who came from far and wide soon joined the camp......
By the time Ding Yi and the others came to Zhiyuan City, this one could only accommodate three or four hundred thousand at most, and it had already taken on a new look.
Cai Meiniang was a little disappointed, the city in front of her was too far from the city described by Dai Xiaoxue and Meng Chan. Although it could be seen that the citizens who came to greet them were very welcoming, she still had a feeling of being deceived.
Everyone had communicated in advance, Ding Yi didn't like pomp, and he didn't like everyone to hold any welcome ceremony for him, and they didn't want to dominate the underground world and force the monks in the underground world.
Unexpectedly, I learned that Ding Yi would come back from Zhiyuan City, and a large number of enthusiastic people still poured here in Zhiyuan City.
Here in Zhiyuan City, although there is not a single Yuan-level great master, there are still a few high-level cultivators, these people were originally just high-level cultivators of some sects in the underground world, in order to earn contribution points and obtain the permanent residence right of the Outer Heaven, they joined the Adventurer's Guild.
Zhao Sheng personally led the team to greet him, and when he saw this walking posture, a somewhat strange mortal, he was the mayor of this million-dollar city, and Cai Meiniang was very surprised.
"Zhao Sheng, are you the mayor of this city?" Ding Yi had taught Zhao Sheng, so he would naturally know him.
Zhao Sheng was overjoyed to see the principal and the dean come back smoothly. Yes, I am now the mayor of Zhiyuan City, I was appointed by the Outer Heaven Council last month to serve as the mayor of this small city, I have just arrived, and I haven't taken care of the city very well. ”
Dai Xiaoxue got out of the crowd and said to Zhao Sheng: "Senior Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few days, why don't you say hello to me?"
Zhao Sheng turned his face and shouted, "Naughty!"
Dai Xiaoxue grinned.
"Senior Brother Zhao, when the teacher and I left here half a year ago, this was only a small town of less than two or three thousand people, when did the Great Council approve the construction of a big city here?"
Zhao Sheng had no choice but to tell Ding Yi the truth, and Cai Meiniang realized that this was just a small border town that had just been upgraded, and most of the people who came to welcome them were adventurers who came to welcome them. It's not that Dai Xiaoxue and the others are coaxing themselves, no wonder this city has a feeling of hasty creation, which is very different from Meng Chan, the dream city shown in the magic disc. Her mood instantly improved a lot.
"Zhao Sheng, why do you walk weirdly?" Meng Chan was careful, and she was the first to discover the problem.
"In the past few days, I heard that the principal and dean are coming back, and a large number of enthusiastic people have poured in here in Zhiyuan City, although I know that the principal you don't like to be publicized and engage in pomp, but Zhiyuan City has just been upgraded from a town to a city, and you happen to come back with double happiness, so this is just ......" Zhao Sheng hurriedly replied.
Meng Chan said: "It's a bunch of nonsense, give me a little more talk." ”
"My screws are off. Zhao Sheng hurriedly replied.
Cai Meiniang and they couldn't help but be stunned again, could it be that this Zhao Sheng is still a high-level puppet?
Ding Yi stopped and glanced at Zhao Sheng, who asked Zhao Sheng to roll up the sleeve of his left hand.
Cai Meiniang and the others noticed that Zhao Sheng turned out to be a disabled person. Ding Yi turned his head and called Wu Hong over from the team.
"Senior Brother Wu, there are a lot of disabled people in Tianlong Kingdom every year due to exploration of underground passages, earthquakes, or other accidental injuries, and the materials for making prostheses and prostheses are very scarce and expensive. Ding Yi said.
Wu Hong nodded.
"Mayor Zhao, wait a while, you come to me, we will gather in private......" Wu Hong said to Zhao Sheng.
Before Zhao Sheng met this middle-aged man, Ding Yi was very polite to him, knowing that this was a great powerful monk, his attitude became more and more respectful.
Meng Chan introduced the accompanying people to Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Sheng learned that among the people who came, there were actually twenty Yuan-level great cultivators, and he couldn't help but admire Ding Yi.
In the newly built Dawn Square in Zhiyuan City, a banquet has already been set up here, Zhao Sheng represents Zhiyuan City, and the Adventurer Guild entertains Ding Yi and his party.
Tie Zhongtang took the opportunity to ask the guests about the situation in the underground world. In the spirit net, they mainly communicate with the high-ranking monks of the underground world, and they have not had much contact with these lowest-level people.
There are many adventurers of the eighth and ninth level in the Adventurer's Guild, they are just mortals, these people were originally just farmers, hunters, and poor civilians, but it was Ding Yi who changed their lives and changed their fate of having no future.
There are some people in Lechuan City, they obey Ding Yi's dispatch, work, and join the army, and each of their families has already undergone earth-shaking changes, the reason why they did not choose to go back and live a life of Antai, and participate in the adventurer's guild, their simple idea is to explore a way to the surface world, and kill out of the underground to find Ding Yi and Meng Chan.
The simple and even clumsy language expressed their respect for Ding Yi and their heartfelt gratitude. In the eyes of this group of mortals, Ding Yi is an angel sent down from heaven.
Tie Zhongtang and they asked a few more cultivators, the cultivators of the underground world, although there are still some of the ideological concepts that have not completely changed, but the cultivators who come to the outer heaven are basically open-minded people, and they told Tie Zhongtang a lot of their true thoughts.
Cultivators are much more realistic than mortals. In the face of Ding Yi's powerful force and military strength, they chose to surrender for the first time, and then they began to think about the impact of the system formulated by Ding Yi on themselves and what their gains and losses were. Many cultivators found that after the unification of the underground world, they did not lose much of their actual rights and interests, except that they could not take and take away from mortals as they did before.
The underground world has always been divided by various forces, and has not formed a unified and centralized government, although the separation between heaven and man has not been clearly proposed, but this is almost the recognized common sense of the underground world cultivation realm.
The Heavenly Dragon Kingdom ruled the world and promulgated new legal provisions to standardize the code of conduct of cultivators, at first, there were indeed many people who were not adaptable, but with the establishment of various local courts, the vast majority of monks finally chose to obey.
Subsequently, from the outside world, all kinds of high-end living equipment, appliances, magic discs, puppets, and other novelties were sold to various places, and schools, hospitals, and theaters were built in various places...... The old social form has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they, the cultivators, have gradually accepted this new system with the times.
