I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1400: New Architecture Chapter 1398: Chapter 1400: New Architecture The Combat Power assessment had concluded, and Song Jian was teleported directly back to the City Lord Mansion in the City of Hope. At the same time, all players received a system notification flashing with golden light.

System: Congratulations to player Song Jian for passing the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment, becoming the first player in the game to achieve Tier-3 Combat Power!

In an instant, Song Jian’s fame skyrocketed. Any player who saw this system notification would commit the name Song Jian to memory.

“Congratulations, Alliance Leader, you are mighty!”

“The Alliance Leader is amazing, may I ask, is the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment difficult?”

…

Unable to communicate with allies and friends within the Assessment World, returning to the City of Hope, especially with the system announcement throughout the game, Song Jian’s communicator exploded with activity. Many people sent him private messages to celebrate, and in the Alliance channel, all topics revolved around Song Jian!

“Boss, this time our City of Hope Alliance has really made a name for itself among the players. I didn’t expect you to be the first one to successfully pass the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment!” Wang Qi contacted Song Jian as soon as possible and said with excitement, “It’s a pity there was no announcement for the first two Combat Power assessments, otherwise our City of Hope would have been famous a long time ago.”

In addition to the global announcement, Song Jian also received many other system notifications.

System: Congratulations to player Song Jian for passing the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment, the currency exchange system is now open to the player! Players can exchange Doomsday Coins for Amethyst Coins, Divine Coins, and other currencies at any system store!

System: Congratulations to player Song Jian for passing the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment, the continental transmission system is now open to the player! Players can travel across continents using Transmission Arrays, airships, and other methods!

System: Congratulations to player Song Jian for passing the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment, unveiling the new map “Naga Island.” Players can recruit Naga Followers on Naga Island.

System: Congratulations to player Song Jian for passing the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment, unveiling the new map “Demon Flame Fortress.” Players can gain control of the fortress by mastering its core!

…

Song Jian was somewhat surprised by a series of system notifications and began to check them one by one.

At a glance at a system store, Song Jian noticed that items like Amethyst Coins and Divine Coins appeared in the system item interface and could be freely exchanged with Doomsday Coins, but the exchange rate was astonishing.

Ten thousand Doomsday Coins could only be exchanged for one Amethyst Coin, and ten thousand Amethyst Coins could only be exchanged for one Divine Coin. Although Song Jian knew that Divine Coins were imbued with divine power, such an exaggerated exchange rate still made him shake his head in disbelief. He had originally planned to exchange some Divine Coins to repair the Shattered Divine Realm, but it looked like even if he sold the entire City of Hope, he might not be able to exchange for a single Divine Coin!

Only players who passed the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment were qualified to make these currency exchanges, which were invisible to other players. Song Jian tried exchanging for an Amethyst Coin and found that the energy contained within it was much less than that of the Purple Crystal ore he had encountered before, amounting to only about one-third of a single ordinary-quality Purple Crystal ore. In other words, three Amethyst Coins were only equivalent to one ordinary-quality Purple Crystal ore.

“The energy is less, which means the combat experience gained after use will also be significantly reduced. Nonetheless, it does provide players with a chance to level up quickly, saving me the trouble of searching for Purple Crystal ores everywhere!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Now in the entire game, he was the only person to have passed the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment. Just by reselling Amethyst Coins, he could make a tidy sum of money. Unfortunately, there was a daily limit on currency exchanges, and Song Jian himself didn’t even have enough for his own use, let alone exchange for others.

After using today’s exchange quota, Song Jian’s inventory was filled with Amethyst Coins. Now that he was level 100 and his combat experience had reached 99%, he could not advance any further. Song Jian only needed to use one Amethyst Coin to raise his level to 101, but after that, he would need a large number of Amethyst Coins.

Beyond currency exchange, the game also exposed many new maps to Tier-3 Combat Power players, including Naga Island, Demon Flame Fortress, and over a dozen other new maps spread out over different areas, some only tens of kilometers from the City of Hope, while others were hundreds of kilometers away.

These new maps were accessible not only to Song Jian, but other players could enter them as well, if they found them. However, the monsters inside were all Tier-3 Combat Power beings, and ordinary players venturing in might easily lose their lives. But for some players who enjoyed pioneering, the opening of new maps was great news.

In addition to the newly available maps, some dungeons were also made accessible to players. However, these new dungeons also required players to possess Tier-3 Combat Power, which meant that in the short term, only Song Jian could enter these dungeons.

Most of these dungeons had player number restrictions, and Song Jian alone wouldn’t be able to enter, so he would have to wait until most players had reached the required strength. It was foreseeable that these dungeons housed a wealth of advanced equipment and precious treasures waiting for players to discover. Conquering these dungeons could lead to a tremendous leap in a player’s strength!

“City Lord, a stone wall has suddenly appeared in the middle of the City of Hope square, out of thin air. It’s very peculiar. Do you want to come take a look?” Song Jian’s communicator suddenly transmitted Wang Qi’s call request. After accepting, Wang Qi’s voice immediately resounded next to Song Jian’s ear.

“A new building has appeared out of nowhere?” Song Jian’s heart leaped with joy. This was something that had never happened before and must be related to his being the first to pass the Tier-3 Combat Power assessment.

With that thought in mind, Song Jian decided to go to the square to check out this new structure, which might hold an unexpected surprise.

In one corner of the City of Hope square, a stone wall about ten meters long suddenly materialized out of thin air, with nine relief sculptures forming a continuous pattern on it.

Upon arriving, Song Jian took a glance and immediately noticed that the reliefs depicted the scenes from the Assessment World where the Twelve-winged God of Light had bestowed the Divine War Halberd and the Golden Blood to King Smorahan.

Additionally, there were scenes of King Smorahan wielding the Divine War Halberd, waging wars, and establishing a vast empire. The last scene depicted Song Jian killing King Smorahan in his tomb to obtain the Golden Blood. In the final relief beside Song Jian were the figures of Doya, Noya, and Patsha. However, compared to Song Jian, these three figures were quite blurred. If one hadn’t experienced the events themselves, it would be difficult to discern the identities of these three.

“Damn, is this going to broadcast the news of my acquisition of the Golden Blood to everyone…” Song Jian was momentarily stunned, at a loss for what to do next.
