I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 275 Inheritance
【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on completing the hidden dungeon quest: Help Adrian break the dragon's curse and save the city!]

[Congratulations on ranking first in contribution! You have received 20 free attribute points, 6 gold treasure chests, 6 resource boxes, 200 medium-grade wood, 200 medium-grade stone, and 4 furniture boxes!]

【Ding! 】

Congratulations on inheriting Mo City and becoming its new Lord!

[Since the city-state system has not been updated in the current version, you cannot inherit the position of city lord at this time!]

Compensation for any losses incurred will be issued by the system shortly. Please wait patiently!

The flood of system messages made Ning Yun's heart skip a beat.

Sure enough, this game isn't just about playing alone; players can actually inherit city-states.

Thinking further, there might even be an opportunity to establish one's own city-state.

Although we don't know the exact size of MoCity or how many players it can accommodate.

However, based on past gaming experience, since there is a city-state system, it is definitely possible to upgrade city-states.

By then, MoCity might truly become a refuge for players.

The thought of such a scene inevitably stirred Ning Yun's emotions.

I just don't know which version will implement the city-state system?

Ning Yun's mind is in a mess right now. Adrian has just passed away, and she has to handle his funeral arrangements.

Although he had made arrangements long ago, Ning Yun couldn't possibly not show up.

Others also received notifications that the task was completed, and the abundant rewards were dazzling.

However, the rewards vary depending on the level of contribution.

For example, Ning Yun has the highest contribution, which rewards her with 10 free attribute points. However, because of her double talent, she can get 20 attribute points.

The second-ranked person is Xiao Qichen, who played a key role in investigating the city lord's true identity and obtained 9 free attribute points.

The same applies to the remaining people; after fifth place, the lowest score is 5 points of free attribute.

This doesn't even include other miscellaneous rewards.

If it weren't for Adrian's recent death, it wouldn't be appropriate to show any joy at this time.

I'm afraid some people are about to burst out laughing.

The mission is complete, and everyone should be able to leave the instance now.

However, given the unique nature of Motown, they did not leave immediately.

Wei Hanchuan, in particular, discovered that his friend channel had been restored.

This means that he can contact his superiors outside the instance.

However, before he could send out his message, he received a lot of messages from his superiors.

Judging from the time, the earliest one was sent a day ago, which means they must have just entered the instance.

This also means that time inside the instance is synchronized with time outside.

Of everyone present, only Willis the butler was the most heartbroken.

After Lord Adrian died, his body completely dissipated, leaving only the clothes on his body.

Willis's butler knelt on the ground and hugged his clothes tightly.

His face was covered in tears, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

Although Adrian never spoke of the curse upon him, his butler, who had been with him for so long, had long suspected something of it.

That's why Willis's butler was so loyal to him.

Now that Adrian has passed away, even his remains have completely vanished.

In his will, he stated that he did not need a funeral or a tombstone after his death.

The paintings in the living room and even his own clothes were burned.

He has lived too long and wants to leave this world cleanly.

Although reluctant, Butler Willis was willing to follow the will. News of Lord Adrian's death was quickly disseminated.

The residents of Mo City, who were originally immersed in joy, were stunned and couldn't believe it.

Just today, the city lord returned victorious and saved Mo City.

Why did he suddenly pass away?
With heavy hearts, the people of the city lord's mansion sorted through the city lord's belongings.

He didn't have many clothes. Apart from the attire a city lord should have, he had very few personal clothes, not even enough to fill a whole box.

The clothes here have all been worn many times and are very old.

Seeing this scene brought a real sense of sadness to my heart.

According to Adrian's will, everything was to be burned to ashes in the garden and then scattered around Mo City.

This city had trapped him for many, many years, but after he died, he still wanted to stay in the closest place to Mo City.

Outside the city lord's mansion, more and more people gathered at the gate, hoping to get definite news.

It was Willis's butler who confirmed the news of the death after handling the matter.

Everyone broke down in tears, and some even wanted to see the city lord off on his final journey.

Adrian's funeral arrangements were quickly completed, and Wei Hanchuan, Ji Jia, and the others were about to leave the instance to report the situation in detail to their superiors.

But Ning Yun's situation was special, so she stayed behind, accompanied by Xiao Qichen.

If it's a normal instance, leaving is fine.

However, given the special nature of Mo City, Ning Yun made up an excuse and told Willis the butler.

"They went back and helped me with things."

Willis's butler had no suspicions.

Ning Yun has succeeded as the city lord, and will definitely live in Mo City afterward.

Before doing anything else, it's perfectly reasonable to take care of things at home and let your family know.

However, I didn't expect Ning Yun to trust Mo City so much.

He left only one guard with him and sent everyone else away.

This increased Willis's goodwill towards her, and he even took the initiative to tell her about the situation in Motown.

"MoCity currently has 57,398 people. We are a level 3 city-state. Because of our good geographical location, we have a strong commercial atmosphere. There are many merchants coming and going on weekdays. Our tax revenue mainly comes from merchants' toll fees and commercial taxes."

Butler Willis meticulously explained the situation in Mo City, leaving no detail untouched, which gave Ning Yun a deeper understanding of the city.

Geographically, Mo City is surrounded by plains on three sides, with only mountains to the west, but they are not high.

The surrounding terrain is wide, making it a major transportation route.

Almost all business people who come and go choose to resupply in Mo City.

Therefore, Motown has a strong commercial atmosphere, but its agriculture is underdeveloped.

Only a few villages around the area cultivate the land, and those with a little skill choose to come to the city to do a small business.

Fortunately, Lord Adrian was farsighted and would buy up grain when prices were low to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Thanks to the crisis in Motown, everyone was able to avoid starvation and even maintain a semblance of peace.

But Motown also has its own distinct characteristics.

Because of the flat terrain, there are no natural barriers when attacked, making it easy for the enemy to break through.

Therefore, Lord Adrian spent a fortune to purchase the [Advanced City-State Protection Shield], which was truly an astronomical price.

Of the dozen or so city-states in the vicinity, only two have a protective shield.

The other one is a low-level protective shield, far less secure than Motown.

Motown is wealthy, but this has made it a thorn in the side of the surrounding cities.

Lord Adrian had previously placed great importance on the Mo City Guard, spending one-fifth of his annual budget on weapons and armor for the soldiers to protect the safety of Mo City.

But with Lord Adrian's passing, Mo City will likely be coveted once again.

Ning Yun inherited Mo City, but she cannot enjoy the benefits of being the city lord. Instead, she has to resolve the current crisis.
