Chapter 153: Even Twenty Years Would Be No Problem

Lin Mu sat in the chair, toying with the crown in his hand.

This thing could easily be used as a conceptual weapon with a hundred percent kneeling skill.

Make everyone kneel and then wipe them all out—the effectiveness was simply unmatched.

No wonder they talked about lasting ten years.

He had been wondering how other people managed to survive for ten years, and it turned out they had something like this.

He just wondered if this item would be effective against outsiders.

With that thought, he prepared to put the crown on.

"Wait!!"

Shuyi hurriedly stopped him. "Brother Mu, maybe let's not put it on yet. The moment you put it on, we'll all be forced to kneel again."

Lin Mu thought about it and realized she was right.

He casually tossed the crown back into his inventory.

"As for the next arrangements..."

Lin Mu scratched his head, realizing there didn't seem to be anything much to arrange.

"Do you guys have any ideas? Now that we're up in the sky, we don't seem to have any enemies, do we?"

Down below, there were still some hostile forces, such as the cities near the urban areas.

But up in the sky, there were simply no enemies whatsoever.

The City of Mystery was called mysterious precisely because no one could find it.

Since nobody could find it, what enemies could there possibly be?

The elderly man pondered for a moment and said, "There are vast tracts of land outside the city. We can start by planting crops to achieve self-sufficiency. Another thing is to search the city to see if there's a passageway leading to the outside world. In all likelihood, it's probably a spatial portal."

Lin Mu nodded. That was indeed something that needed to be done right now.

However...

"Is the temperature high enough at this altitude?"

One had to remember this was an altitude of 5,000 meters; the temperature must be much lower than down below. If the crops failed to grow, wouldn't that be a waste?

This indeed posed a problem.

"We can put that aside for now, but we definitely need to look for the passageway. It would be best if there isn't one, but if there is, we must guard it closely," Shuyi said.

Lin Mu rubbed his chin. "You guys handle that yourselves. As for supplies, we just acquired a massive batch, which should be enough to last us seven or eight years."

...

A day later.

Lin Mu was not inside his vehicle, but standing in front of the crystal ball in the office, staring at it with a puzzled expression.

If his perception wasn't playing tricks on him, just moments ago when he placed his hand upon it, he was able to control the city's movement!

That was right, actual movement.

He could make the city go wherever he wanted, and its speed was even faster than that of his warships.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Come in!"

The person who entered was Shuyi.

"Did you find the passageway?"

Shuyi shook her head. "They're still searching for it. After all, the city is too massive to be thoroughly searched in a day or two. Of course, it's also possible there isn't one at all."

According to past experience, city passageways were generally located near the city square, but this time they had searched the square thoroughly and found nothing.

However, considering the unique nature of the City of Mystery, they still needed to investigate it a few more times.

"I came here to tell you that ever since your statue was erected, the arrays here have been operating automatically, and a magical formation has spontaneously appeared in the center of the city, holding thirty-six mystical elements. Of course, that's not the important part. The important thing is that the temperature here is remarkably constant.

Last night, I observed the temperature was 16 degrees Celsius, and today during the day, it's around 24 degrees. Judging by this, today's maximum temperature probably won't exceed 30 degrees."

Lin Mu immediately understood what she was driving at.

Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen a pig run; this temperature was exceptionally suited for farming.

"In that case, I'll place seeds in the convoy's warehouse. You can lead them to start planting."

"Understood."

"Remember not to forget the cultivation spaces inside the vehicles; store those specific seeds separately."

Through previous comparisons, the food grown in the spaces inside the vehicles was vastly superior to the outside land in both yield and taste.

Ever since they started using the cultivation spaces, Lin Mu's team could essentially achieve self-sufficiency in food.

Furthermore, the flavor was much better than before.

One could say that with this batch of food, the quality of their meals had jumped up several tiers.

"Don't worry, those were sorted and stored separately long ago."

Over the next week, everyone transformed into farmers, setting about reclaiming wasteland and planting crops.

Except for Lin Mu.

As for the issue of the passageway, they had reached a conclusion three days ago.

That was, no passageway had been discovered within this city.

In other words, this City of Mystery was the safest place in the entire world.

Since outsiders couldn't find the City of Mystery, it meant there would be no enemies.

With no passageway, it also meant no one could launch a direct attack from the inside.

Lin Mu leaned back in his office chair, wearing an expression of pure boredom.

"Is that it? Forget ten years; even twenty years would be a breeze."

He was thoroughly baffled now; this didn't seem particularly difficult at all.

He could just hang out here.

If there was one genuinely difficult problem to speak of, it was probably finding this City of Mystery in the first place.

As for how to leave this place previously...

He glanced at the information on his interface.

[Survive as the City Lord for ten years, and everyone associated with you can return to their respective planets.]

That was right, it was that simple.

Just serve as City Lord for ten years.

"Life is as lonely as snow. I can return after ten years."

Having nothing better to do, he opened the map.

Although the City of Mystery could be controlled, he had grown much lazier lately, so he simply let the city wander about on its own accord.

According to its current route, a giant city had appeared on the map, located a mere 1,000 kilometers away from their current position.

Lin Mu rubbed his chin.

Farming could increase food resources, but all other resources were in a state of constant consumption.

Though the consumption wasn't heavy, consumption was consumption nonetheless.

Shall we...

"Bring out 2,000 vehicles, and have Koldo muster another 2,000 tribal warriors. Get ready to fight—I mean, gather supplies!"

Idleness breeds boredom, so he might as well pick up some extra gains while he was at it.

Half an hour later, a small warship descended from the sky and headed toward the target.

The person piloting the vessel wasn't Lin Mu, but Shuxin.

He had granted this authority to Shuxin.

As for himself, he sat comfortably in the office, watching the screen before him and conducting remote command.

Actually, there wasn't even anything that required commanding; it was completely a one-sided crushing defeat.

"Hmm, when dealing with a giant city, the number of people is still a bit too small. Next time, I should switch to a warship assembled from 4,000 vehicles."

Giant City Inhabitants: We thank you so much!!

Within a single day, a giant city simply vanished. As for the people inside, Lin Mu hadn't bothered to manage them.

Kill those who didn't run; ignore those who fled.

Their purpose was resources, not human lives.

Of course, Lin Mu didn't waste the people who had died; instead, he had Lucia, who possessed special attributes, turn all of them into undead.

Adding those to the previous batch of undead, one could now see undead wandering all over the ground.

If things kept developing at this rate, the entire land would probably be crawling with the undead shortly.
