Chapter 884: Chapter 840 “chanism City and the Warrior”_1 Chapter 884: Chapter 840 “chanism City and the Warrior”_1 When the shaking stopped, Chang Niao again released the chanical Birds, only to find that the terrain around him had completely changed.
This sowhat made him freak out:
“I can wander into circles in a static labyrinth, now it even started to rotate?!”
“Can anyone even play this???”
After freaking out for three minutes, he made a tough decision:
“chanism City exploration, need 4, hurry up!”
chanism City is huge, but because of its maze-like layout, the paths aren’t very wide, and with all kinds of triggered traps, it is not suitable for large scale team actions.
Especially considering Cloud Dream’s dynamic difficulty chanism, having too many people could either increase or lower the difficulty.
After considering these, Chang Niao decided to stick to the classic five-person team approach to tackle the high difficulty of chanism City.

However, he definitely could not let just anyone join his team——
“Only those with a good mory and sense of direction!
If your directional abilities are poor, we don’t need you.
...
Having one person with no sense of direction in the team is already enough!”

After Chang Niao had consud a lot of ti, many from the first team of players had gradually caught up and reached chanism City through the tunnel in the backyard of Francis’s shop.
Apart from this, many players who didn’t bother with the main tasks started to make their own efforts to explore chanism City and join in on the fun.
However, this was not easy.
Players who hadn’t completed the [Trial of the Sword] task could not et the fa level requirents.
When they told Francis they were Shirley’s own brother/sister, he simply did not believe them ——
“Where’s this rural villager from, claiming to be the relative of my loved disciple out of the blue?”
“Do I look that easy to fool?”
…
As for those who tried to break in——
Without a master to lead the way, trying to survive through the underground tunnel set up by the chanism Technique Master is not an easy task….
Only the most persistent players were able to form teams and pave a way to the bronze gate of chanism City by risking their lives.
Yi and Yelang were two such players.
By relying on the help of their brothers in the Bathroom Group, they managed to reach the bronze gates of the chanism City, paving the way with their lives at stake.
Including Yi and Yelang, the 10-person exploration team embarked on their journey through chanism City.
However, these people were not very serious——
When they reached a junction, the Amulets of Repelling Evil on the chests of the five people at the front started vibrating.
So, everyone stopped and started looking for traps on the floor with the patience of demining experts.
This wasn’t an exaggeration.
Earlier, soone had accidentally stepped on a trap, was flung twenty ters into the air by a giant spring trap, and then fell to his death from a great height…
The lightness skills in “Chang’an” still upheld basic respect for physics.
Even at the highest level, it was just capable of walking on water and leaving no footprints in snow.
This kind of spiraling ascension by stepping on one foot with the other in mid-air was impossible.
While everyone was on the ground, knocking on the floor inch by inch, an old chap looked at his incessantly vibrating Amulet of Repelling Evil and suddenly had a whimsical thought: “Do you think anyone put the jade pendant in a strange place?”
“What do you an?” Another mber asked casually.
“Um…pocket in their underwear?”
“???” Everyone simultaneously stopped their work and turned towards him.
“What’s wrong?” The old man was startled.
Before they could delve deeper into why he had a pocket in his underwear, another older mber spoke up:
“Speaking of this, I’m reminded of the vibration rod… I an the ‘tal Detector’ from Terraria.
When that thing vibrates, it’s way more intense than this.”
When one person speaks sothing suggestive, it might be a bit awkward, but when two people do it, the atmosphere changes.
Soon, a third teammate joined the conversation: “So when will Cloud Dream relax the Private Space rules a bit, let us have so fun in the ga?”
“Oh, you want to try the detector?”
“I wouldn’t mind, but to be honest, I’m more interested in trying out a sli.”
“Sli??” Yi turned back in shock, “Are you even human?”
“Sli…” Yelang thought about the jelly-like sli in Terraria, his eyes wide in surprise.
The chap who ntioned wanting to try the Sli didn’t mind his teammate’s shocking reaction, instead, it seed like he was lost in particular kind of fantasy–
“Hehehe, blue sli, green sli, pink sli…
Then call over good buddies to join.”
“???”
The other mbers, feeling their worldview being challenged, subconsciously moved away from this teammate.
Only Winter lon blurted out, “What buddy?
Isn’t that your man?”
Yi raised his voice: “Stop, stop, stop!
Otherwise, I will lose my streaming room again!”
“Click.”
Yelang: “Did you hear anything?”
“What sou…F*ck!”
The ground—split open!
At the bottom of a ten-foot-deep pit were densely packed sharp spikes that inspired fear.
Only three people reacted quickly enough to jump away, the remaining seven unfortunate souls fell into the trap and were impaled.
“Doctor!
Doctor!”
Winter lon’s secondary profession was a physician, and he had brought a large amount of healing dicine with him.
The teammates who were impaled didn’t die imdiately, and the severity of their injuries seed to lessen the pain.
They managed to call for help as their health bars rapidly decreased.
But standing at the edge of the trap, Winter lon shook his head and said,
“They’re beyond saving, wait for death, farewell.”
He really did leave the pit afterward.
He went to the side and sat down to watch the live streaming—he was planning to wait for them to re-spawn and then regroup.

The teams of Yi and Yelang were just the tip of the iceberg.
At this very mont, countless players had entered the “chanism City & Warrior” segnt.
In countless mirrored ‘chanism City’ instances, teams of players suffered severe damage, experiencing repeated deaths amidst the swarms of tricky monsters and deadly traps.
“The difficulty is off the charts.”
This was the most direct impression for many players.
If it were not for the massive rewards, many would have given up by now.
—In chanism City, not only were the monsters bizarre, their drops were equally strange and powerful.
Various types of clockwork guns were not to be ntioned— even the lowest power type was much more powerful than the flintlocks developed by players before, whether in terms of reloading chanism, range, or power.
There were also all kinds of clockwork axes, clockwork swords, clockwork chainsaws, clockwork hamrs…
Each more outrageous than the last.
Especially the clockwork chainsaw, which used the power of the clockwork to rotate the chainsaw!
It’s unclear how much damage these weapons could inflict during close combat with players, but their effectiveness in dismantling chanical puppets was absolutely first-class!
Of course, the sight of a giant clockwork spider charging at you with four chainsaws was absolutely terrifying!
The longer players explored the chanism City and the more intelligence they acquired, the more outrageous it seed—
To the point where it felt like the ga’s genre had changed!
On the surface, Chang’an City offered the orthodox style of ancient martial arts.
But when everyone thought this was a martial arts ga, fantasy elents of demons and monsters turned up.
And the mont everyone thought it was a fantasy-thed ga, sci-fi elents began to show up!
—Ancient sci-fi is still sci-fi after all!
According to the storyline, generations of chanism Technique Masters have created unbelievable objects within the chanism City using nothing but clockwork as a ans of power:
Clockwork people, clockwork spiders, clockwork lions, clockwork crabs, clockwork birds…
Clockwork doors, clockwork cars, clockwork clocks, clockwork music boxes, even clockwork guns and clockwork trains!
Every new thing astounded the players.
They even guessed that the entire chanism City was built on the basis of one or more miraculous coils of clockwork!
That the city could move and transform like a machine was due to these one or more coils of clockwork!
Although the efficiency of this perpetual motion machine seed a touch too outrageous…
But in a virtual world, it’s definitely possible!
Nowadays, players were exploring chanism City while passionately discussing:
What should this style, that has progressed further past the ‘ancient steampunk’ of Francis’ underground cellar, be called?
[Clockwork punk]?
Or [chanism Punk]?
*
While the players were engaged in intense discussions and the popularity of chanism City kept rising, Shuihua, Lance and Victoria finally completed the [Sword Testing] quest and ca here to Francis’ to receive the chanism City quest.
Victoria was very optimistic about this:
“Since the task requires us to find the[Relic], the most important thing is probably not combat power, but to explore as deep into the maze as possible.”
“And if you want to delve deep into a massive, complex, self-moving bronze maze, luck obviously plays a huge role!”
“Speaking of luck… there’s the legendary ‘Lucky Emperor’ in our team!”
“Once we reach chanism City, we might not even need to search, the maze itself might just straighten the correct path out for us!”
…
Victoria didn’t know yet: the so-called ‘Lucky Emperor’ she was referring to was harboring a bold idea in his mind.
An idea that erged suddenly after learning the location of chanism City.
