Chapter 196: Chapter 182: The Pigeon Copy is Very Engaging

The small square in Star Dragon City boasted a rich, old-style architectural design, constructed with thick, rough blocks of stone stacked upon each other, ensuring the structures were both grand and magnificent. The walls and other surfaces were then painted gold, shining brilliantly.

The Kingdom of Rand’s adoration for gold had never changed; even the Lord himself had gradually been swayed or altered by it, finding gold exceedingly pleasing to the eye.

On the wide main thoroughfare of Star Dragon City, wide enough for several carriages to pass side by side, undead hurried along.

The stones on both sides, enriched with a strong religious ambiance, perfectly complemented the slanted rooftops, adding an epic feel to the towering buildings of Star Dragon City.

The square of Star Dragon City.

Here Aluna was always preaching daily, her eyes wide open, trying to stretch the skin around her eyes, giving the impression she was straining them, yet they looked lifeless.

She always muttered something, but if you paused before her and listened, you would realize her words contained no reverence for the gods nor promoted religion but merely mumbled bizarre phrases. Expecting useful information from her would end in disappointment.

However, Aluma wasn’t completely useless; she occasionally granted favors on behalf of the Lord, such as distributing rewards of "Star Dragon Stones."

The Star Dragon Stone was a rather ordinary-looking rock, irregular in size, somewhat resembling a diamond.

"This must be a diamond," wealthy player Tears Sadness lifted up his diamond.

[Star Dragon Stone: Star Dragon City’s special currency, with an unforgeable number, unknown purpose]

A brief introduction.

It even gave him the feeling that the game didn’t seem keen on introducing the Star Dragon Stone.

Indeed, this wasn’t the first occurrence of such a feeling. Many undead had noticed that when facing the powers of Star Dragon City in hostile relations, more information appeared to be visible. However, if they looked at related items as allies, they often got only a very brief line of introduction, as if those items were not even logged into the game system.

No undead cared about this; in fact, they loved collecting "unknown purpose" items, indicating that the items had some kind of hidden special function and were surely key items.

"I think I can guess what this is," spoke Flawless Legs.

As he began, others glanced over since Flawless Legs, among the few able to reach the leadership layer early at Star Dragon Ridge, was highly respected among old players, generally seen as a veteran.

It was just that lately, Flawless Legs had been logging on rather inconsistently.

Despite sleeping with the helmet on allowing entry into the game, the prerequisite was having time to sleep, and Flawless Legs simply had no time for sleep, reportedly always staying up late working on some report.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Flawless Legs said, "This is a lottery stone, haven’t you noticed? When obtaining the stone, the Star Dragon Stone binds with our Lion Badge, meaning the stone cannot be traded."

He gently tossed the Star Dragon Stone in his hand, reiterating, "Lottery stone!"

A lottery?

The surrounding undead were momentarily stunned.

If it’s a lottery, then where is the prize pool?

Flawless Legs also looked towards Aluna, as the distributor of Star Dragon Stones, she ought to know more, but to his disappointment, Aluna showed no response.

"There should be more updates to come, since it’s a beta test," Flawless Legs said, "Don’t forget the scale of ’Doomsday Magic Ring’. We, being spoiled sons in the beta test, are already ahead of other Main Cities and Newbie Villages by more than a dozen versions. There definitely will be updates."

"You’re right."

Since it binds with one’s identity, like Points, it’s a type of currency. Regardless of why Star Dragon City introduced a new currency, getting it was what mattered.

After collecting the Star Dragon Stones, they headed to two other updated zones in the square to trade stamina for money. Undead weren’t particularly interested.

The reward wasn’t much.

But when an undead adept at resource utilization stood up to clarify, the undead suddenly became interested.

"If we need to log off, keeping Magic Power and stamina is of no use since they fully recover over a long period after many Resurrections," said the undead, "Undead intending to log off could totally sell their strength and earn a sum every time."

Indeed, keeping stamina was a waste; why not sell it for money? While money wasn’t as valuable as faction Points, Points couldn’t be spent in taverns, nor could they be used to tip the pitiful dwarf clown who carried a child and performed daily.

Not wasting stamina was every enthusiastic gamer’s baseline; grinding until spent before logging off was the true essence of gaming.

The last updated area was yet to be unlocked.

Banshee Pond.

The once abandoned and empty pond had been filled with water, a dark water surface under the cold sunlight due to the stillness.

"Splash," the water was parted by the hand of a ghostly woman.

A figure in a long dress floated up through the water, likely a ghost with an ethereal presence, yet her expression was graceful and smiling, her simple dress giving her the appearance of a strong woman weathered by trials but willing to express her rebellious spirit through song.

Her figure dipped and rose in the water, elusive as a water Elf.

The chanting tugged at the ears, pulling the nearby undead closer.
