The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 577 Burn down the Xia people's tower! (ask for monthly ticket)

August 8th at 1 am.

According to the earlier announcement, the routine update of Spread City will start on time.

[Big Data Dating Agency] officially opened for business after updating and iterating its matching algorithm six times.

[Ancient Roman Super Baths] were added a little hastily as a "compensatory measure".

There was no time to set up the foreshadowing.

At 5 o'clock, the buildings in the southwest of the intersection of Corso Avenue and Youjie Street in South City suddenly moved, freeing up a large space.

The players passing by didn't even have time to be surprised.

In the blink of an eye, a magnificent marble building like a temple appeared before our eyes.

The quick-witted players reacted immediately:

This is the [Ancient Roman Super Baths]!

Just when I wanted to go in and see what was going on, I found that the bathhouse was not open yet.

The small sign in front of the door shows the bathhouse's business hours:
[9:00-21:00]
The curious player walked up and knocked on the tall, thick wooden door.

After there was no response for a long while, he sighed and left.

——Although I am curious about what is inside, it is not impossible to go in if you insist.

But if you are caught by the Sprawling City Security Bureau and put in solitary confinement, and thus miss the opening hours, it would be a loss.

……

Under the moonlight, a huge whale made entirely of mechanical copper tube structure looms in the clouds.

As the whale swims, the copper blowhole on the top of the whale ejects a large amount of water vapor, making its shape more blurred.

But the sprawling city is the city of the near future.

Even in the early hours of the morning, the lights are on, with neon signs and light pollution illuminating the sky.

Still, many passers-by discovered this new resident of the sprawling metropolis.

They pointed to the sky excitedly, reminding other passers-by to look at this huge and exquisite creation that perfectly expressed the beauty of machinery.

……

Anding Street, Nancheng District.

A large number of modern buildings surround a small temple.

This temple named [Yongning Temple] is still under construction and is not open to the public.

Behind the main hall, the Yongning Temple Ancient Pagoda, which had been surrounded by a large amount of bamboo scaffolding and had been progressing slowly, suddenly saw the flow of time speed up.

The entire construction process is completed within 30 seconds.

The dense bamboo scaffolding was quickly dismantled and transported away.

This 147-meter-high ancient wooden tower, which was destroyed by a fire caused by a lightning strike in 534 AD, has finally been reborn in the virtual world.

But soon——

It is about to face another test!
-

Opposite Yongning Temple is a hotel called [Bosi].

Niiiko and Stuart stood in front of the French window of Room 1806, looking at the ancient tower of Yongning Temple which had just been completed not far away.

"It's incredible. Could the Xia people really have built such a tall building using only wood 1500 years ago?"

The more Niiiko looked, the more amazed she became.

This modern reinforced concrete hotel has a total of 18 floors, which is already a tall building on this street.

But compared with the wooden tower opposite, it is far inferior!

——It's not even half as tall as that tower!

"Dream building shouldn't lie."

"It is said that this tower also has accurate historical records, so it should be true."

Stuart nodded in acknowledgement.

But out of some subtle jealousy, I couldn't help but say, "It's only 150 meters, less than half of the Twin Towers."

"?"

Niiiko turned to look at Stuart and sent him a question mark with his eyes.

'Are you serious?'

"Using an ancient wooden building from 519 AD to compare the height of two reinforced concrete buildings built in 1973? ? "

Stuart realized his mistake and quickly changed the subject: "How many people did you mobilize? There will be no leaks, right?" "200, all Americans, no Asians, I guarantee there will be no leaks!"

"Where are you?"

"I have found 100 people here, all of them are American blacks, so there is no problem keeping it secret." Stuart was full of confidence, "It doesn't take many people to burn a wooden tower. We have also prepared gasoline, so we can start the operation at any time."

Niiiko was a little hesitant.

He looked at the ancient and magnificent wooden tower, and a liking for the tower arose in his heart.

The concepts of "architectural aesthetics" and "Chinese aesthetics" are perfectly combined in this tower.

Even though Niiiko has not done any research in this area, he can still feel the beauty that is difficult to describe in words just by looking at it from such a long distance with his naked eyes.

If you really stand under the tower and admire it up close, it will be even more shocking!

This made him wonder: "Should we really burn down this tower?"

Now it was Stuart's turn to look questioningly.

'Isn't this your fucking plan?'

"We have been preparing for so many days, and everyone is here. Don't you want to burn it?"

Seeing that Niiiko was really shaken, Stuart said helplessly: "Didn't you say that? They crashed into the [Twin Towers] to disgust us, so we burned down their wooden towers to disgust them back."

“If both sides are uncomfortable, strategic deterrence can be achieved, thus achieving peace.”

Seeing that Niiiko still couldn't make up his mind, Stuart had to comfort him:
"This tower is just tens of thousands of lines of code in a virtual world."

"It's burned to ruins now, but it will be restored to its original state tomorrow, and there will be no loss."

"—just like our Twin Towers."

After Stuart's words, Niiiko finally made up his mind: "That's right!"

"It has to be burned!"

"According to the Xia people, this is called a tooth for a tooth!"

He immediately opened the team channel and issued an order:
"Operation begins! Codename - [Flame]!"

"Everyone, bring gasoline and hijack a taxi, and gather 800 meters north of the wooden tower."

"Hurry up and don't give the Xia people time to react!"

Beside him, Stuart also issued similar instructions, but the gathering point was changed to 800 meters south of the wooden tower.

The two teams acted quickly! ——

Ever since the official announcement of the Sprawling City that [Ancient Pagoda of Yongning Temple] would be updated on August 8, Niiiko and Stuart have been preparing for this action.

In order to accurately convey the "tit-for-tat" revenge intention, the entire attack process was copied one-to-one from Superman's first attack on the Twin Towers.

And the solution of being happy and becoming a superhuman is indeed the simplest and most efficient solution.

A week before, they had team members practice the process of robbing a hovercraft, crashing into a target building, and igniting oil barrels at a scheduled time.

Now that we have officially started taking action, we have become proficient in it.

200 white people and 100 black people started calling taxis.

Soon, the nearest taxi descended steadily from overhead and stopped in front of them.

Wireman is a New Yorker who was very dissatisfied with the daily crash of the Twin Towers. When he heard that this action could curb this "morning attack", he immediately joined in.

He even prepared a double tank of gasoline, just in case he had an extra big one.

Soon it was his turn.

A bright yellow taxi dropped from overhead and stopped in front of him.

"Master, help me move the things." Wireman instructed the driver to help.

The uniformed driver got out of the car obediently and asked as he carried it: "What is this? It's so heavy?"

"wine."

Wireman answered absentmindedly and sat in the passenger seat.

He waited for the driver to drive the car some distance before taking the car and running away.

The driver stuffed the heavy oil drums into the trunk one by one, and closed the baffle with a bang.

At the urging of a group of white players on the roadside, he sat in the driver's seat and closed the car door.

Happy Superman started the car and asked Wireman:

"Where are you going, sir?"
