nAs the blinding light dissipated, Jerry slowly opened his eyes.
n
n
n“Eh? This is…?”
n
n
n
n
nWhat entered his eyes was a very ancient room. At the same time, waves of memories appeared in Jerry’s mind.
n
n
nFirst was his identity, the young city lord of Sky City, also the current city lord.
n
n
nIn his memories, the old city lord had passed away some time ago and passed the position of city lord to him who had been the young city lord.
n
n
nEveryone began their time in the Empire Era in this way, causing many people to ridicule it, saying it was probably the template of a modern novel in which the main character transmigrated into another time and place after the Dad-in-name died!
n
n
n
n
nAlthough it was called Sky City, a powerful and awesome name, in fact, Sky City was just a small city around here. It was thus named because Jerry’s father, the old city lord, liked the sky.
n
n
nAs for the region, Jerry only knew that this place was called Qingzhou.
n
n
nQingzhou was very big! There were many small cities in Qinzhou! Of course, there were also powerful people who had created their own kingdoms.
n
n
nThey must occupy more than ten cities to be qualified to establish their own kingdoms.
n
n
n
n
nIf someone conquered the entire Qingzhou, he or she would be able to establish a great empire!
n
n
nHowever, just the size of Qingzhou alone was perhaps even bigger than the entire United States! Jerry knew this fact from the information stored in his memory.
n
n
nIt was enough to see how big the entire Empire Era was! Many people all over the world had entered this place, but few of them had met each other.
n
n
nOf course, this was also because people could not stay in the Empire Era for long.
n
n
nAfter all, if a city was destroyed, the city lord would exit the Empire Era permanently!
n
n
nAnd this world was far crueler than anyone had imagined. Although most of the people entered it as if it was just a game, they must fight for territory and develop their own forces, therefore, war was a daily occurrence.
n
n
n
n
nMost of the new comers would had their cities swallowed by other cities in a few year.
n
n
n“Interface!”
n
n
nJerry waved his hand and a game interface appeared in front of him.
n
n
nThere was his own information and Sky City’s information on it.
n
n
nThis was what he learned from his memory.
n
n
nHe skipped over his own information and looked at Sky City’s information.
n
n
n Faction : Sky City
n
n
n Level : small city
n
n
n
n
n Population : about 100,000
n
n
n Army : 2,000 infantrymen, 500 archers, 500 cavalrymen, total: 3,000
n
n
n Gold and silver : 1,200 units of gold.
n
n
nThis was the general information about his city. Looking at the interface, Jerry nodded to himself.
n
n
n“Not a bad start!”
n
n
nBecause compared to the information that others posted on the Internet, his city was top-notch.
n
n
nA small city with a population of 100,000 was not bad!
n
n
nThe population of a small city usually ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
n
n
nAs for a middle city, it usually had a population of more than 300,000! There were even large cities with a population over a million!
n
n
nSuch cities were rarely seen. It was said that only the capital of some kingdoms would have such a population.
n
n
nThree thousand troops, five hundred archers, and five hundred cavalrymen. This was a pleasant surprise.
n
n
nMost people would be lucky if they had a few thousand infantrymen.
n
n
nAs for the precious cavalrymen and archers, they were extremely rare.
n
n
n
n
nIt was a good start, but Jerry needed to think about how he should develop the city.
n
n
nThis world had its rules and restrictions. Some people had tried to develop high-tech weapons in this world but failed.
n
n
nAt most, they could make black gunpowder, but when used to attack cities, its power was not satisfactory
n
n
nOther than that, he could develop technologies to improve the citizens’ daily life.
n
n
nBut such things had long been spread throughout this world.
n
n
nOne had to know that it had been a hundred years since Earth people first landed the place. The predecessors had long made things that could be made.
n
n
nIt was said that few people from Earth had met each other in this world; even if they had, they wouldn’t even know if they were a native or an earthling.
n
n
nHowever, in the past hundred years, 99.9% of the people wouldn’t be able to hold on for more than a few years. After a few years of gaming experience, they would be forced to retreat from the world.
n
n
nHowever, the things that they brought into this world had stayed and been spread all over this world. At least, that was the case in most places.
n
n
nTherefore, it was impossible to rely on the advanced technologies and advanced thinking of modern people to obtain some sort of cheat-like lead.
n
n
n“Well, what should I do?”
n
n
nJerry was helpless. He was just an ordinary person. Was it only a City Lord game for him?
n
n
nIn the end, he would be destroyed by other cities, and then he would exit from the Empire Era.
n
n
nHowever, as a transmigrator, Jerry felt that this game was not so simple. How could it be so simple? After all, it was something like the creation of a god!
n
n
nIf he were to withdraw just like that, it would be his loss.
n
n
n“Is there no other way?”
n
n
nJerry sat on the ground, deep in thought.
n
n
n“Is it so hard to cut corners?”
n
n
n“Will I spend a few years here just like others?”
n
n
n“After a few years, my city be exterminated, and then I’ll leave this world.”
n
n
n“Go back to that boring world?”
n
n
nJerry frowned.
n
n
nHe wanted to smoke a cigarette.
n
n
nUnfortunately, there was no such thing as cigarettes here.
n
n
nPerhaps there would be some elsewhere.
n
n
nBut at least there weren’t any now.
n
n
nJerry was extremely vexed.
n
n
nHe really didn’t want to go back.
n
n
nHe wanted to do something big here!
n
n
nHe might not be able to build a super-large invincible empire, but at the very least, he wanted to build a small kingdom with more than a dozen cities on its territory.
n
n
nBut, how could he achieve that by himself?
n
n
nJerry’s head was about to explode from thinking, but he couldn’t think of a plan.
n
n
n“Will I go on just like this?”
n
n
n“As a transmigrator, don’t I have any privileges?”
n
n
nJerry smiled bitterly.
n
n
nHe wanted to curse this world.
n
n
nIf I can’t be as invincible as other transmigrators, why would you let me transmigrate to this world?
n
n
nWhere’s my cheat?
n
n
nFuck!
n
n
nAt this moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in Jerry’s mind.
n
n
nJerry was shocked because a weird-looking book appeared in front of him!
n
n
nThe virtual book was like a panel, but Jerry could touch it!
n
n
nAnd on it, there were a few big words.
n
n
nThe Eternal Roster!
n
n
nThe name of the book was called the Eternal Roster!
