Civilization Paradise

Chapter 41 Can't Afford to Live

The next day, inside the room.

Long Ming lay on the ground, doing push-ups.

"98, 99, 100! Cough cough!"

After finishing this set, Long Ming lay on the ground, panting, to rest for a while.

He then started doing sit-ups.

Sweat streamed down his face, but he persevered.

hum~
Suddenly, my phone rang, followed by a message popping up.

"Whoo~"

Long Ming let out a slight breath, then walked to the side, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, ending his day's training.

His health is very poor right now, and he can only improve it through constant exercise.

Moreover, the game he's playing now demands extremely high physical fitness and reflexes, so he has to work much harder than others.

Long Ming put down the towel, then walked to the bedside, picked up his phone and glanced at the pop-up message.

"You returned the money to me so quickly? You don't need it anymore?"

"Well, it's solved."

Long Ming then edited a message and replied to Wang Yang.

"Alright, we'll talk about it if needed! Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. Shirakawa and Wei Xiu are also playing that game called Civilization Paradise. I'll play it with them after I'm done with things here. You have to take me with you and give them a good scare."

"No, we can't carry it."

"Damn it, don't do that, it's so disloyal."

"We'll talk about it when you want to play."

"Okay, I'll stop chatting with you then. I have to go to work. Let's talk next time."

Wang Yang ended the chat abruptly.

After reading the message, Long Ming turned off his phone and went to take a shower.

He then went back to bed, picked up the game helmet, put it on, and activated the game.

Swish!
When Long Ming opened his eyes again, he was already in Star City.

"The Celestial Guild is recruiting!"

"The Begonia Flower Guild cordially invites all brothers and sisters to join us. The benefits and treatment are excellent."

Hearing the noise, Long Ming turned his head and looked around. Players were holding up various signs and recruiting people online.

He looked down and tapped his bracelet to open the warehouse. Looking at the Level 1 Random Civilization Experience Scroll inside, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

To be honest, his first experience in the World of Wabiga was terrible, even though it earned him his first pot of gold.

First of all, there are many players involved, so not only will they fight for resources, but they will also attack and plunder each other. No matter how strong you are, you are afraid of being ganged up on and ambushed.

More importantly, the world you enter with this level 1 random civilization experience scroll is very poor.

He searched for a long time last time but didn't find anything valuable; most of the items were of white quality.

Although the price of bullets has dropped, the price of one bullet is still about 3000 1D coins. This means that if you fire a few more shots, you might not earn as much as you consume.

If you're unlucky and die inside, then you've lost a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Long Ming decisively opened the mall's trading interface and searched for the invitation letter.

Unfortunately, no invitations for sale were found.

However, Long Ming did not give up, but patiently continued to refresh.

A dozen minutes later, an invitation popped up the moment the trading screen refreshed.

Long Ming had barely seen the price when the invitation was snapped up by someone else.

As he looked at the sold-out notification, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. An invitation was priced at 20 One-Dimensional Coins and was instantly sold out!
This shows that invitations are in high demand, and the price of 20 is too low.

Long Ming sighed and continued refreshing the page, hoping to get another one.

Another invitation popped up quickly, and Long Ming immediately reached out to click on it, but unfortunately he was too late and was instantly taken.

Long Ming frowned, but he waited patiently.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Long Ming still hadn't managed to snag a single invitation. It wasn't that there weren't invitations for sale; it was simply impossible to obtain them. This situation clearly indicated that a bunch of professional merchants were camped out there, grabbing them at any cost, buying them up instantly as soon as they appeared.

He couldn't possibly win it all by himself.

Then another invitation appeared, and unsurprisingly, it was snapped up instantly.

However, Long Ming was somewhat speechless when he saw the transaction price.

This invitation ticket was sold for 200 million One Dimensional Coins, which is clearly wrong and a blatant scam.

Sure enough, the next second, Long Ming heard shouts and curses coming from afar.

"Damn it, you bastards! They're charging ten times the price for an invitation! We can't afford that!"

"Haha, newbie, huh? You've lost big this time, haven't you? We all only brought 30 with us to bid, and you brought so much money, aren't you just a sucker?"

"Damn it, I'll make him refund my money. If he doesn't, I'll make him pay for the real thing offline."

Seeing this, Long Ming couldn't help but shake his head and look back at the mall.

For a moment, I was in a bit of a dilemma. Continuing to drag things out like this wasn't a solution; it was too much of a waste of time.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to use the trial voucher to give it a try.

However, Long Ming did not intend to go in fully equipped. Instead, he found a secluded place, stripped off all his equipment, and put it in the warehouse. In the end, he took a Geko automatic pistol, a Kagba tactical knife, and an ordinary backpack.

Although the outfit looked shabby, he was still worried about losing money.

Of course, Long Ming was not an indecisive person. Once he made a decision, he stopped hesitating and took out a Level 1 Random Civilization Experience Scroll to activate it.

Swish!
In an instant, Long Ming was teleported to a small, top-shaped mechanical platform.

Players were everywhere around.

Long Ming glanced down at the bracelet interface.

Transmission platform number 845.

Start Civilization: Kadum

Civilization Level: 1

Number of people: 531/1000.

"It's a bit slow, we haven't gathered everyone yet."

"That's normal. After all, it's morning and many people haven't gotten up yet."

"Too."

Long Ming looked around and found that the players around him were gathered in groups.

But at that moment, countless white lights fell, and the progress instantly became 941/1000.

The next second, hundreds of figures dressed in black robes with black meteor armbands appeared on the mechanical platform.

Upon seeing these people, the crowd lowered their voices and whispered among themselves.

"Damn, why are there so many people from Star Tower City?"

"I don't know. Forget it, let's not provoke them. These people are acting strangely and they're not mentally stable."

"Tch, nobody wants to mess with them."

Long Mingxin also calmed down, not expecting to encounter so many people from Star Tower City.

The three cities have never had a good relationship, so the people of the mountain city don't have a good impression of the people of the star tower city.

At this point, all 1000 people had been gathered.

In an instant, Long Ming and everyone present were covered in white light, and they could not see anything.

A few seconds later, the white light gradually faded.

Long Ming raised the Geko automatic pistol in his hand and warily turned his head to look around.

Buildings constructed of gray rock, each with a unique and distinctive style, and exterior walls painted with abstract and distorted oil paintings, come into view.

Iron streetlights stand on both sides of the quaint street.

The quiet streets were filled with a pungent smell of exhaust fumes.
