After thinking for a moment, Gail chose to join. At the same time, he was curious about who found him.
With the click of the agree button, the entire Chat Interface began to change.
It changed from the World Chat Interface to the Private Chat Interface.
The Private Chat Interface was very strange. They communicated through a video transmission of the other party’s image.
The virtual image of a girl gradually appeared.
From his memory, Gail knew that this woman was his classmate. They did not interact much on a daily basis.
The girl’s name was Victoria. She was considered one of the more outstanding people in the class at that time. Moreover, her academic results were decent.
Victoria’s current appearance could be said to be completely different from before. She did not have a clean long dress. She was only wearing a thin denim shirt and jeans. There were still a lot of stains on it.
“What’s the matter?”
Gail was the first to speak.
He only had a single memory of his classmates, and he did not have many friends. He had been busy with his studies.
“Gail, can I ask you to do me a favor?”
Victoria spoke faster and appeared to be very anxious as if something had happened.
Hearing her words, Gail did not immediately recover.
From Victoria’s current appearance, she had definitely encountered something bad. As for why she came to him, it should be because she had a strong learning ability and adaptability when he was in school. Therefore, every time he chatted in the class chat group, there would be a bunch of classmates asking him how his development was.
“Why are you sure that I can help you? Tell me what happened to you first and try to pick the key points to tell me, because there isn’t much time.”
“I understand.”
Victoria took a deep breath and then exhaled as if she was calming herself down.
Then, she did not say anything but swiped something on the interface.
“Gail, you should be able to understand it after taking a look.”
Victoria’s voice sounded again.
Gail switched to a different interface and started to look at the information inside.
[Embers Of War: Your city has been defeated due to the invasion of monsters! The entire city needs to rest for a period of time. During this period of rest, the rate of resource refresh -100%, the rate of resource production -100%. It lasts for three days!]
When Gail saw this introduction, he frowned.
In the city world, one could obtain some buffs through a series of methods.
What Gail had obtained before was the buffs such as the Goddess’ Blessing.
However, there were also some people who could obtain negative buffs as the one Victoria had.
Such high-intensity negative buffs were absolutely devastating to a city.
Moreover, Gail was keenly aware of the remains of the buildings behind Victoria.
However, he was not stupid. He would not agree to it.
No matter how fast his own development was, Gail would not be a good person. He would not do anything that would not benefit him. He was not a money-spinner.
After Gail finished reading the introduction, Victoria revealed the scene behind her.
It was a scene of devastation and chaos everywhere. None of the buildings were intact, and the resources that respawned in the city were so few that they could be ignored.
“Gail, you saw it too.”
“My city was attacked by monsters, and now it has received such a negative buff.”
“This is definitely a devastating blow to a City Lord who hasn’t developed yet!”
“So, I’m asking you to help me this time.”
“Of course, I won’t let you help me for nothing. We can make a deal!”
Perhaps it was because she was too excited, Victoria’s face turned red.
When he heard the last sentence, Gail felt a little curious. A person whose city had been destroyed, what could be there that would be worth trading?
“Victoria, we are both City Lords during the assessment period. The importance of resources at this stage is very important. Why do you think I can help you?”
Gail said slowly.
Hearing Gail’s words, Victoria calmed down and said, “Your results in school are very good. I believe that with your ability, so you can develop the city very well. The reason I found you is also because of this.”
“I hope you can accept my trade request.”
When Victoria said the last part, her eyes were filled with tears.
If it was someone else, they would definitely collapse, let alone a girl.
“What is the content of the trade?”
If it was someone else, they would have agreed to this request, but Gail did not have any feelings towards these classmates in his memory.
Since they wanted to trade, they had to take out something of equal value.
Without the slightest hesitation, Victoria directly sent the information of the trade items over.
[Special Area Expansion Scroll: Using this scroll, the city will undergo a special area expansion.]
[In the special area, there is a 20% chance that a mysterious building will appear, a 20% chance that an advanced resource collection point will appear, and a 50% chance that a battle scene will appear…]
The value of this scroll was pretty good. It was probably the only valuable item in the city in the past few days.
After that, Victoria gave a detailed introduction of the scroll’s origin.
The reason why monsters would invade was due to a mistake made during an expansion. This scroll was just as Gail had thought. It was the most valuable item she could take out at the moment.
“What do you need?” Gail was very excited when he saw the scroll.
In a special area, there was a probability for everything to appear, such as treasures.
Most importantly, his luck was not bad. In addition to the Lucky Gold Coin, the probability of encountering good things was extremely high.
“I need you to agree to two conditions.”
Victoria used her finger to make a figure and continued, “I need a batch of resources. I want to rebuild my city. Although it might fail in the end, I don’t want to give up.”
The list of resources she needed had already been sent to Gail.
After all, no one wanted to miss the opportunity to pursue immortality, and neither did Victoria.
Looking at the list of resources that Victoria sent over, Gail’s face did not show much emotion.
The resources that she needed were all common, and it was not difficult for Gail to take out these common resources.
This was also a kind of misjudgment that Victoria made about Gail’s current speed of development. If it was anyone else, they would not believe that his current speed of development was so fast.
“What’s the second condition?”
Gail agreed to Victoria’s first request.
