Chapter 62 Gear City

Of course, Chu Cheng didn’t really want to develop in Gear City, as it was impossible to develop there at all.

There is no method to worship the reputation of Gear City in the information collected when entering the dungeon. Although there are methods to increase the reputation in the information, the highest level is Revered, and there is no way to reach Exalted.

It's not that the information is incomplete, but due to limited conditions, I don't have the conditions to raise my reputation to the level of revered in Gear City.

Gear City is a city ruled by goblins. The goblins are best at engineering and manufacturing. The whole city is a huge engineering creation. If you want to make a name for yourself there, you must study engineering, and it must be goblin engineering.

The reputation gained by non-Goblin Engineering for completing tasks there is very low. If it is Goblin Engineering, you can get 50% additional reputation.

In addition, Goblin Engineering is very expensive, and the various mechanical tools required for learning are very expensive, and most people simply cannot afford it.

If you want to reach the revered status within three months, you must spend a lot of money to pave the way, and you only have one chance, after all, you can only study engineering once.

Chu Cheng has no money on him now, so he has no conditions to study at all.

He planned to get rid of Sun Yu's team through Gear City, and then take a detour to do other things.

Walking downstream along the Blackwater River, he concentrated on getting on with his journey, not caring whether anyone was following him or not.

I ran from morning to afternoon in one breath. When I was hungry, I would just eat some dry food and continue running. I would continue on my way even at night.

The Golden Wasteland is a prairie as a whole, similar to the African savannah, with rich vegetation, sufficient water resources although not abundant, and a wide variety of derived organisms.

Along the way, we saw wild beasts in the wilderness from time to time, ostrich-like chocobos, groups of wild boars, huge grizzly bears, packs of gray wolves, hundreds or thousands of antelopes, zebras, horned cattle, etc., which provided food for lions, velociraptors and other beasts, as well as alien races.

The Blackwater River is thousands of meters wide and extremely deep, with a large number of crocodiles, alligator snapping turtles and some ferocious fish living in it.

I didn't see any murlocs, but there are murlocs in this dungeon. However, they are not in the Blackwater River, but are active on the seashore near the Gear City.

It took Chu Cheng a whole day to cross the wasteland and enter the sphere of influence of Gear City.

A goblin outpost located on the side of the road, with a sign of "Kean Commercial Company" hanging on the tall stone gate.

Yes, it’s called the company.

Because in the Chaos Realm, the goblin race is divided into two completely different groups.

One group is the common goblins, including big goblins, small goblins, bugbears and other branches.

This kind of wild goblin usually exists as a monster or a hostile alien.

Another group is the engineering goblins. Their IQ is much higher than the previous group and they have mastered very advanced engineering technology. They are good at trade and are absolutely neutral. Their business empire covers most realms and is very powerful.

The goblins in this copy are engineering goblins, also called technological goblins. Many engineering goblin companies gathered here and established the Gear City.

Keene Commercial Company is one of the largest companies in Gear City.

Chu Cheng came to the company's base. In his eyes, all the goblins in the base were neutral yellow names.

At the door squatted two exoskeleton armors about two meters and five meters long, powered by steam. The chest compartments were empty, and two goblin drivers were sitting on the shoulders of the armors and chatting.

Seeing Chu Cheng approaching, the two goblin pilots immediately slid into the cockpit, the lid dropped, and with steam gushing out from behind, the tall armored man stood up, the gear saw in his hand turned rapidly, and a sharp voice rang out:

"Human, tell me why you are here!"

Chu Cheng immediately raised his hand and said:

"I heard that Gear City is a miracle in the engineering world, and I'm curious to go and see it."

"You have a good eye!" The voice was still sharp, but the tone was obviously much softer:

"You can go over, but you must abide by the rules of Gear City."

He responded quickly:
"Of course!"

After obtaining permission, Chu Cheng waved his hand and walked between the two steam armors.

As he walked, he looked at the armor with a look of amazement.

I'm not trying to flatter the goblins, I'm just really surprised by their technology.

In the Chaos Realm, rules restricted the original high-tech development of the Earth, but the goblins studied engineering and thus developed engineering technology unique to the goblins, including a steam system powered by steam and a magic technology system powered by magic runes.

It is said that all technological goblins in the entire Chaos Realm are one, belonging to different realms, but all are connected.

Just like the Gear City in the Golden Wasteland instance, although they are restricted to this realm, their information is not blocked. They can contact the technological goblins in other realms through goblin technology.

There are even rumors that the technological goblins of Gear City have the ability to cross realms, connect to, and even enter other realms.

Normally, crossing boundaries is the privilege of legendary strongmen. Once a person's level reaches 70 or above and is promoted to legendary, he or she can use his or her strength to cross the crystal wall of the boundary and enter another boundary.

Except for wizards, who can do it when they reach level 50 and are promoted to the extraordinary level.

The road after the checkpoint is easier to travel on. Not only has the avenue been widened, but there are even street lights on the side of the road.

The roadsides are no longer wastelands, but reclaimed farmlands. There is a village at regular intervals. The people who farm the land are goblins, but they do not do it by hand. Instead, they use various engineering machinery with extremely high technological content.

Only a small number of goblins and some machinery are needed to cultivate large tracts of farmland, and the efficiency is very high.

It was not until the next afternoon that Chu Cheng arrived near Gear City.

After passing another checkpoint, we finally arrived at the Gear City and saw the full picture of this goblin city full of fantasy and technology.

The Gear City was built on the flat sand by the sea. The high city walls were covered with various war mechanical weapons. To the south was the endless blue sea, and ships at the port could be vaguely seen.

Looking back, Chu Cheng waved his hand and stepped into the city.

Although he didn't see anything, he knew someone was following him.

His perception is already quite high after all attributes are increased by +1 at each level after the golden finger was activated. Under normal circumstances, no one specifically increases perception, so it is generally not high. His perception of 39 is already very high. It is impossible for him not to notice the tail hanging behind him after a day and a half.

"He found me."

On the main road not far from Gear City, Xu Zhiyuan waited until Sun Yu and others arrived, and this was his first sentence.

But Sun Yu didn't care. He looked up at the tall Gear City, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"I remember that there didn't seem to be anything good in Gear City?"

Pan Yue nodded and said:
"There are a lot of good things, but the reputation system of Gear City is not perfect. If you can't get the revered status, you can't get the best things."

Sun Yu smiled and said:

"If that's the case, then it means that Chu Cheng can't do anything here. Without any benefits, he won't be able to stay for long."

"Come on, let's follow him and see how long he can hold out."
