Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015Tang Shaoyang waited on the stone platform for a while, waiting for a notification from the system. He wanted to confirm whether the system still gave out a quest. A minute passed, and he did not receive any notification.        

"I can't confirm it yet. It might be the hidden quest," He muttered as he walked off the stone platform, heading toward the exit. The exit was obvious, the double stone door ahead of him. He pushed off the door and was greeted with the empty street.    

The ten meters wide tile street was empty. There was not a single soul around. Tang Shaoyang used his Spirit Eyes to check if there were other people aside from him. He discovered something interesting through the Spirit Eyes. He found the exact same building that he just came out of. There were forty of the same buildings, and those buildings were on the same block where he was standing.    

Tang Shaoyang turned around to look at the building. The design of the building was similar to the church, the old church design. A long building with a tower on the back and then forty buildings had the same exact design. These forties buildings weirded him out, thinking he might be summoned in the fanatic religion believer region.    

The second interesting thing he found was that his Spirit Eyes could not spy out of the church-like building block. There was a barrier that prevented him from seeing through. He saw a white wall with his Spirit Eyes. When his gaze followed the street, he could see the exit of this block, and it was not a white wall. It was a long street that led to another block, but he did not know what kind of building was outside there. He also did not know if there were people outside.    

"There's one way to find out," Tang Shaoyang turned to the left, walking around the street. His Spirit Eyes kept spying on the block around him, just in case someone or something would ambush him. He put extra caution since he knew nothing that awaited him on the eleventh floor. He was not surprised if he met someone strong, strong enough that might force him to flee. There was a being like that on the tenth floor, so it was no surprise if he encountered one on this floor.    

Tang Shaoyang walked out of the wall that separated the church-like building block. It was just another empty block, and it was even weirder than the previous block. The same street was still there, but there was no building. That was right; this was an empty region. He could still see the street was neatly arranged through the Spirit Eyes, forming a complex.    

An unfinished project of a construction company. That was his first impression when he saw the outline of this region. People might try to build something, but they stop after making the street. It was getting weirder, the church-like building and now an empty region with just a street. Another weird thing was that this empty region stretched out wide, vast.    

Tang Shaoyang was near the wall; to his left, he could see a tall stone wall. The wall was twenty meters tall, and once again, his Spirit Eyes could not see what was beyond the wall. However, his Spirit Eyes now could see the church-like building complex. His vision was no longer obstructed, as if the barrier was never there.    

To the right, it was a vast empty region with just streets that connected to each other, creating many blocks. Fortunately, the gate to exit the empty region was in sight of his Spirit Eyes. He hoped that there was a clue to explain everything around here. Just as he was about to take his first step, a notification rang in his head.    

[Welcome to Starter City of Sky Tower #9987, Player Tang Shaoyang of the Tang Empire!]    

[Congratulations! Because you are the first player from Earth to arrive at the Starter City, The Tang Empire is given the privilege to choose the first region to occupy!]    

The first notification was the clue Tang Shaoyang needed to find where he was. He was at the Starter City on the eleventh floor. He assumed the number meant he was at the 9987th Sky Tower, meaning there were other 9986 Sky Towers aside from this one. The second notification was confusing; he did not understand what it meant to choose a territory. He soon found the answer to his confusion.    

A hologram map appeared in front of him. The map was kinda weird as it was shaped like a quarter of a circle, only a quarter. Then he was given twenty choices, a region for his faction to settle down. He finally understood that the System gave the faction the to choose a territory in the Starter City. There was a reminder below the map.    

[Note: Once you choose your region, you will not be able to change or expand! You also can't take other factions' territory. Please choose your region carefully.]    

Tang Shaoyang scratched his hair as he was put in a tough spot. He did not know the importance of choosing the territory in the Starter City. He also did not know the strategist's territory.    

"What is this green square?" Tang Shaoyang noticed two green squares that were placed on the opposite side. There was no explanation from the system, so he tried to touch it with his finger.    

[Dimension Portal Site]    

He was not sure what it was, but he assumed it was the complex behind him. The church-like building was the dimension portal, a place where the players from Earth would get teleported. That was his assumption. There was another glowing spot, longer than the green square right in the middle of the map, stretched out to the back of the map. It glowed blue, and Tang Shaoyang quickly touched the glow.    

[Inter-dimensional Shop Complex]    

Tang Shaoyang did not know what it meant, but he was quick to understand that the strategist's location should be near this blue complex. He chose a territory next to the Inter-dimensional Shop Complex.    

[Congratulations! Your faction obtained twenty bonus complex territories because you are the first one to arrive at the Starter City!]    

After choosing the territory, Tang Shaoyang saw a yellow dot appear on the map. The yellow dot was right in front of the blue square on the bottom. He quickly realized that the yellow dot was him.    

"Ah, the system wants to guide me to my territory?" He assumed so. If the system wanted him to go to his territory, he followed the guide. There might be more clues on the territory he chose.    

Three minutes of full-speed running before he could reach his territory. Three minutes was quite long for someone at Tang Shaoyang's speed which had high agility. It just showed how vast the empty region in the Starter City was.    

Tang Shaoyang understood why the system wanted to guide him to his territory. The system showed an interface. Giving a menu of buildings, a similar menu at the smart base. He could buy buildings and place them on his territory. Interestingly enough, there were several types of buildings; residential buildings, profession buildings, commercial buildings, and special buildings.        

When he tapped the residential building, he was led to another menu with more types of residential buildings with its price. It was still the same currency, Game Coin. The interesting part was the profession building.    

Smithy, Apothecary House, Forge, Craftsmen House, Alchemist Workshop, Alchemist Garden, Builder Workshop, Wood Workshop, and ???    

Those were the type of buildings he found under the Profession Building Category. He assumed the question mark meant there were more types of buildings and there were one or more conditions to unlock the new buildings. That was what he assumed.    

The commercial buildings were the same thing as the residential building, a shop, but different types of shop buildings. There were five types, from small to large commercial buildings.    

Tang Shaoyang was not interested in the commercial building and proceeded to the Special Building. There he found a really interesting building, more interesting than the professional building.    

Magic Tower, Healer Tower, Training Ground (Common), Training Ground (Specialized), Tavern (Common), and ???    

Tang Shaoyang did not know what was so special about the tavern, but he was interested in the four buildings. He assumed the Magic Tower would help Mage or Elementalist in their magic, and the same for the Healer Tower. For the Training Ground, he assumed that would help people with physical classes such as Warrior or even swordsman.    

The unfortunate thing was that the building was locked. He could see the price to build the building, but there was another condition to buying the building. The frustrating part was that the system did not mention how to buy the building.    

The only building he could build was the residential building and the commercial building, "I am not going to do anything for now. I will leave this kind of thing to Li Shuang. She should know more about what to build than me."    

He realized that these buildings might be related to the money-making strategy. He knew nothing about the economy, so he would leave that to the expert.    

Tang Shaoyang closed the interface, and the map also disappeared. However, he did not need the map to know where his next destination was. He turned to the left and followed the street toward the entrance of this region.    

After a few minutes, Tang Shaoyang arrived at the gate. This time, he saw buildings and people through the gap between the steel gate. A crowd gathered in front of the gate, and the interesting part, the people beyond the gate could not see him. Even though he stood right behind the gate, the people kept chatting among themselves. Another interesting part, he could see these people's mouths moving, chatting with each other, but he did not hear the voice.    

"It's another barrier that separates my region and outside. I assume the barrier will disappear once I open the gate,"    

Tang Shaoyang opened the gate, attracting the crowd's attention.
