Chapter 165:

Lu Yao clicked on the prompt bar, and the screen switched to the ghost city of Sanilo.

Sanilo City Library is a rhombus-shaped high fortress. It is backed by the temple, and the stone wall surrounds it and the temple, like an armed fortress guarding the temple.

Mayor Chapman and Commander Alex were in front of the high fortress, surrounded by many ghost citizens.

There are also many transcendent beings, including fish people, cannibal crabs, sandworms, ice and snow giants, dwarves, elves, and even several high-level flame birds and fire chickens.

They all maintained rare patience and politeness, and under the order of Alex, they lined up one by one.

Mayor Chapman’s smiling face symbol appeared above his head: “Fellow citizens, friends who have come from afar, please be patient.”

“Today, the Sanilo City Library is open to the public for the first time, to thank all the friends of Sanilo City, and to thank everyone for their trust and respect for Sanilo.”

“We will continue our consistent attitude and, on the premise of firmly believing in God Yao, not interfere in any external disputes.”

“Sanilo is a peaceful and comfortable harbor. As long as you are willing, you can come to this city to buy a house and enjoy the treatment of a citizen…”

Mayor Chapman gave a casual speech. Many visitors of different races did not understand the language, but someone provided an explanation.

Most of the translators were ghost citizens.

More than half of the monsters could understand on their own.

Lu Yao finally understood.

In the past, these transcendent beings had already had a lot of dealings with Sanilo, which is why they now have communication and recognition.

Mayor Chapman announced: “For a long time, the library was only used to store various materials and resources of the city. Now it will be open to everyone, and everyone can store items inside and withdraw them at any time with a key.”

“However, whether storing or withdrawing, a storage fee is required. This is also an important part of maintaining the library.”

“According to different storage boxes and warehouses, the storage fees are different, clearly marked, and fair to all.”

“The Sanilo City Library is officially open!”

…

Lu Yao understood.

The so-called Sanilo City Library is the city’s treasury.

It can now also be called a monster bank.

Lu Yao clicked to enter the library and looked down from an overhead perspective.

Inside, it was divided into small rooms, with neatly arranged boxes fixed to the walls, each one locked.

He patiently observed.

The first to come was a cannibal crab, which stored a bucket of honey.

The second was a small fish person, who stored a small bag of pearls.

The small fish person repeatedly emphasized that this was all of its property, and asked the ghost librarian to take good care of it and keep it safe.

Next, two dwarves stored a box of seashells.

This was the income of the dwarf blacksmith’s shop. It was too troublesome to move from the dwarf fortress to Sanilo, so they simply left it in the library and could come to withdraw it at any time.

A group of elves stored mead here, and they left after getting drunk.

The vast majority of visitors stored various treasures, and a small number stored some souvenirs or things that were inconvenient to carry.

What impressed Lu Yao the most was two flame birds.

They stored two eggs here.

The ghost librarian was a bit confused: “Um, if these eggs go bad, or if they hatch… it will be difficult for the library.”

The flame bird emitted a bunch of garbled characters above its head.

A nearby translating ghost said, “They said it’s okay. If it goes bad, it means it’s a bad egg. A bad egg won’t make it on its own.”

“If it hatches, let it come to the northern volcano to find us.”

Librarian: “Alright, I understand.”

Seeing the hardcore parenting style of the flame bird couple, Lu Yao suddenly realized.

No wonder the number of transcendent beings has always been small. It’s already very difficult for the offspring to grow up healthy.

In any case, Sanilo City has created this monster bank, which is indeed an unprecedented feat.

Lu Yao spent 5000 faith points and directly transformed it into a wonder.

In the upper left corner, the apostle’s mark instantly changed to 5.

Under the white light, the fortress-like library now had its own description.

…

【World Library】: A wonder built by Sanilo City to store and preserve various items.

All items stored in the library are not easily perishable.

The likelihood of negative events in the city is reduced, and the attraction of special populations is slightly increased.

…

Using the prefix “World,” Lu Yao hoped that this library would pass through the ages and become a wonder recognized by the majority of the world.

The first to react to the creation of the wonder was Mayor Chapman.

“Citizens, friends!”

He announced loudly: “God Yao has bestowed blessings and grace, and the name of the 【World Library】 will last forever!”

The ghost citizens all appeared with smiling faces.

The transcendent beings who ignited the fire of faith also showed excited or pleased expressions at this time.

Lu Yao noticed.

The transcendent beings in Sanilo are very relaxed.

They not only store treasures in the library, but also communicate with other similar or different races in the city, or just sunbathe nearby, as if taking a break after a battle.

At this time, a new prompt popped up in the simulator.

【The World Library has attracted many transcendent beings.】

【Sanilo has been given the title of “Capital of the World” by the transcendent beings.】

【Sanilo’s influence has spread throughout the world for the first time.】

【Sanilo has become a legendary city with extremely high prestige and appeal.】

【Because it has advanced to legendary status, Sanilo has gained additional growth. Please choose one benefit as a legendary city.】

Lu Yao was stunned.Cities could actually be promoted to legendary status.

He looked down and saw three options for the legendary enhancement.

【Chance of negative city events reduced.】

【Slight increase in city attractiveness.】

【+1 damage for everyone in the city.】

Lu Yao didn’t hesitate to choose the reduction of negative events.

After all, Sanilo was positioned as a large retirement city; stability was the most important. Everyone fought and made noise outside, but coming here meant rest and recuperation.

The incident happened suddenly. Sanilo rose from behind, swiftly outpacing the two leading brother cities.

Lu Yao glanced over.

Yao City remained relatively calm; the style of this city was stability itself.

The Prophet’s Spoon was always engaged in potion research, with no time or energy to consider other matters. Scholars from the Temple Congregation specifically came to congratulate Sanilo on its widespread fame.

Salt City, however, was not taking it so well.

Inside a room in the Temple Annex.

Two old men were drinking sullenly.

Mayor Shang Li had a question mark floating above his head: “Why is this happening… We were developing faster, we were ahead… Why is this…”

Prophet Dorennunu’s head was also a mess: “That Chapman guy, always pretending this won’t work, that won’t work… Such a scheming old ghost.”

“We finally got ahead of Yao City, only to encounter the rise of Sanilo. Salt City’s luck isn’t very good.”

The two were brooding over Sanilo’s overtaking on the curve.

Shang Li thought for a moment: “How about trying to establish overseas territories?”

Dorennunu also said: “I think it’s feasible, many islands are actually inhabited by natives, and a lot of the land is fertile. There should be potential.”

After another heavy blow from fate, the two old men stood up stubbornly once again, discussing Salt City’s next new direction.

Lu Yao wished them better luck next time.
