I Am A Legendary BOSS
Chapter 275: End Of Version 2.0

Chapter 275 End Of Version 2.0

Time passed, and the end of version 2.0 had arrived.

The City of Dawn had been developing rapidly for the second half of the year. Besides the dark creatures, the City of Dawn had not met its worthy opponents!

The Slovan Dukedom’s mission of repulsing the Darkness invasion allowed the players to have a sense of victory after defeating the dark creatures!

The full-scale attack of the City of Dawn had not allowed the dark creatures much rest before they had been defeated. The Chinese players had a fast-paced brutal war at the beginning stage. That was the only time the players got to enjoy fighting the dark creatures…

They watched the foreign players struggling with the dark creatures and daily creating forum posts about their battles. The Chinese players felt frustrated.

But then, the Chinese players received Slovan Dukedom’s mission. Now, they also had gained the chance to talk about their experiences with the dark creatures.

They created complacent posts in the foreign player’s forum. They bragged that they had defeated the dark creatures and were now helping others to fight the Darkness invasion. They were also curious why the foreign players had put in great efforts but they had yet to take back their lost lands.

Endless squabbles and bickering followed on the forum.

The Chinese players had held the upper hand in version 2.0, so they made full use of their bragging rights.

After completion of the Slovan Dukedom’s mission, and then with the support of the Red Fire Kingdom, the Dawn Mercenary Team became famous in the southern regions. The team received lots of varied missions from different nations.

William’s prediction became true. He was running out of manpower due to the flood of missions.

He was hoping the players would level up faster.

Emerald Grand Duchy and Lan Yu Grand Duchy also began to make use of the Dawn Mercenary Team to solve their problems.

When they fought against each other, they would make use of the fearless players to fight a battle of attrition. It improved the quality of play for the belligerent players.

The Chinese player population had reached one million. The players affiliated to the City of Dawn were 880,000, making up about 80% of the players.

The remaining 20% were not located in the Black Lava Dukedom that had no military power. They were living in the ambitious Emerald Grand Duchy and the Red Fire Kingdom.

The NPC population in the City of Dawn reached 1.7 million.

Now, 150,000 soldiers were in the regular legions while 50,000 made the reserve legions.

The city had expanded towards the Blackleaf forest.

It now had 16 districts with more than 2 million inhabitants.

The players who had properties in the City of Dawn numbered 200,000. However, the players did not stay in the city for a long time generally, so the City of Dawn was not overly crowded.

The City of Dawn had become the preferred beginner’s village for many new players.

The new players chose the City of Dawn as their beginner’s village because it was powerful and could assign many different missions. For example, they could choose to perform missions on the continent or opt for seafaring missions.

There were also many Level S, A, and A+ mercenary missions.

More importantly, many small dukedoms did not have teleportation portals!

The players liked the convenience of the portals. As once they leveled up, they could instantly travel to other locations. Hence, many players chose the City of Dawn.

In recent times, the City of Dawn had purchased many flying magical beasts from the Red Fire Kingdom. The players could make use of the teleportation portals for long-distance travel, while for short-distance trips, they could rely on the flying magical beasts.

The financial and military might of the City of Dawn was on par with a large dukedom. The players had been astonished by the rapid development of the City of Dawn that was much faster than their expectations.

After the City of Dawn and the Red Fire Kingdom had been connected via a teleportation portal, the trade and commerce that was generated, had allowed the City of Dawn to reap great profits.

Just the trade and commerce with the Red Fire Kingdom alone generated 400,000 gold coins in profits.

The fishing industry took up a third of the trade and commerce!

As the Red Fire Kingdom was located deep within the continent, it was hard to obtain seafood there. The seafood that was inexpensive in the City of Dawn could fetch ten times the price in the Red Fire Kingdom.

The City of Dawn also had many rare ores. The extra mythril and orichalcum ores could be exchanged for ores that the city needed. This enhanced the varieties of ores in the city and allowed the blacksmiths to forge higher quality equipment.

William walked along the streets of the City of Dawn. The commoners and tourists would bow and greet him when they noticed the Lord.

William only needed to smile in return.

Besides the old districts, William seldom ventured to the new districts that were more scenic and prosperous.

The old districts were different!

William was a Half-Elf who appreciated aesthetics. He hoped that his territory would look more appealing. Hence, he would order his subordinates to do renovations.

The mage population in the City of Dawn had reached 10,000. The bored mages would create some gimmicks to spruce up the city.

For example, the random floating magic lamps in the sky. They were like huge kites. During the nighttime, they would emit multi-color illumination.

There were also some practical magic devices that could help families to clean their homes. It allowed the women to work and consequently, hastened the development of the city.

Magic fans that could lower the temperature on a hot day gave relief to the commoners. The construction workers were able to work at a more rapid pace…

Of course, all these cost money!

The magic professionals had been able to invent these gadgets only because they had a city lord who supported their arcane technology…

As for the reason why there were many mages who were attracted to the City of Dawn, it was Old Band.

He was an all-rounded Enchanter who attracted many NPC mages into settling here.

The magic professionals admired powerful professionals more than close-combat professionals.

Because the mages yearned for magic and truth!

Old Band was the perfect epitome of both.

The mages wanted to stay close to the truth and Old Band who was becoming the Legendary great enchanter.

“Old Leather, are you cheating again in the gambling joints?” William wandered around. Version 2.0 was going to end soon, and William had completed what he was supposed to do. He was waiting for the resurgence of magic, but he came over to the gambling joint to look for Old Leather.

Since William managed to convince Old Leather to stay in the City of Dawn, old Leather had been cheating people in the gambling joints.

According to the worldview of the Chinese in the 23rd century, Old Leather ought to be shot!

Old Leather’s affinity points for William had reached the maximum limit. After William divulged his identity, the Grandmaster professional decided to fawn on William and follow him!

Besides the fact that the City of Dawn was very powerful, Old Leather was also fond of William.

He had never seen a person with rock bottom luck like William.

And when he noticed the professionals of the City of Dawn having bad luck engulfing them, Old Leather was overjoyed.

Was the City of Dawn a concentration camp for jinxed professionals?

To him, it was a perfect location!

He also discovered another professional who had the same bad luck as William. But he could not figure out the mage, so it was not of much use…

When there were professionals whose luck was worse than his, then Old Leather would be unable to die even if he wanted to. Especially when William and his subordinates were growing at a rapid pace.

Old Leather believed that in time, he would be able to join William in his journeys and reap some benefits. He could also make use of available scapegoats.

But he had to continue gambling…

old Leather noticed that William was coming for him, so he made use of his Grandmaster speed to flee. He was going to a gambling joint in another district to spend his day. There were hundreds of gambling joints in the City of Dawn, and he did not believe that William would have the time to locate him.

After William accepted him as his subordinate, he understood the true endowment of Old Leather!

(Transfer of Bad Luck: If there are creatures who have worse luck than you, and you are within a radius of 100 meters of the creatures, all the misfortune against you would befall on the creature.]
