“Let’s enter the City of Humans!”

In the Temple of Providence in the Twin Dragon Mount fort…

As Ji Ye gave the command, the twin dragons of providence, which had grown to six feet long, appeared and spewed out the golden power of providence that covered the people as well as items in the Temple of Providence.

This time, more people were qualified to enter the City of Humans than last time. There were more than twenty of them!

Some of them were heroes, and some were players.

The heroes included not just Lu Zhishen, Ninth Uncle, Wu Song, and the others who had arrived before the City of Humans opened last time, but also Gongsun Sheng, Yang Zhi, Ling Zhen, and Tang Long who arrived later. They gained the qualification of entrance for the contributions they made to the fort.

Furthermore, even Lu Junyi, who arrived last, had gained the qualification for defending the human settlement core and slaying multiple Extraordinary Rank-4 and Extraordinary Rank-5 Eagle Men, including two Commanders.

It was worth mentioning that, as the first hero in the Twin Dragon Mount fort, Lu Zhishen was rated as a Quasi Boss after the completion of the Ten-Species Competition quest.

Besides, Li Qing, Qin Yueyu, Mister Bug, Wu Qiao, Chu Yin, and the other players who participated in multiple battles were qualified to enter the City of Humans too.

In addition, Li Qing had won the rating of “Commander” too and even received a Golden Card. Qin Yueyu had advanced into a “Quasi Commander” too.

It wasn’t just the combative players whose rating was improved. There were a few Quasi Commanders and Commanders among the non-combative players too. For example, Elder Jiao had become a Commander with a Golden Card, and Elder Meng and Su Nongying turned in Quasi Commanders and both got Silver Cards.

Ji Ye had thought that the ratings such as “Elite” and “Commander” were based on personal strength, but apparently, it wasn’t the only criterion.

Perhaps, exactly as the meaning of those titles suggested, one had to become an “elite” or a “commander” in a certain aspect in order to be rated as that.

Of course, it was definitely a good thing.

On one hand, the ratings of the members of a settlement could influence the settlement’s power of providence.

A Commander could improve the power of providence twice as much as an Elite could!

It was also why the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s settlement core was still able to advance to Extraordinary Rank-6 even though multiple rituals were held to summon the heroes and transform the equipment!

Another good thing was that, if the human settlement could advance, so should the aliens’. Therefore, the odds that they ran into aliens and got Commander-level Souls of Civilization would be higher.

[You choose to take Jade Dragon Sword, Totem Wolf Skin, Soul Prisoner’s Mask, Yellow Mallet, Mirage Dragon Pearl… into the City of Humans. Total cost: 5,049 Civilization Coins!]

Covered in the golden light, Ji Ye paid for the teleportation with the Diamond Card that appeared on him.

It was a new card that was transparent but could be seen very easily by anyone.

Of course, the categories of Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond were only for the easier understanding of human beings from Earth.

Just like how the City of Humans looked different in the eyes of different civilizations, those cards might be categorized in different names by the human beings from other civilizations.

“Pay!”

After Ji Ye chose to pay five thousand Civilization Coins, the card in his hand became dimmer.

Clearly, the luminosity of the card depended on the amount of money in it.

The cost this time was almost ten times as much as when he entered the City of Humans last time. Most of the cost was because of the five items that contained Transcendent power.

Of course, for Ji Ye who was already a magnate with a four-digit Honor, such a cost was totally affordable.

It was worth mentioning that, apart from the Civilization Coins that were a reward for completing the Ten-Species Competition quest, Ji Ye actually earned another thousand Civilization Coins.

He earned them after killing the Eagle Men’s beta tester and the Boss Eagle Man.

Clearly, those two individuals must’ve been to the Eagle Men’s “City of Civilizations” last time, and they might have even visited the Battlefield of Providence before.

In the Three Thousand Restaurant in the City of Humans…

Because the Twin Dragon Mount fort had set up their destination in the City of Humans before they set off, they naturally arrived at Three Thousand Restaurant again this time.

However, different from last time, Three Thousand Restaurant, which was quaint in the eyes of the travelers from the Twin Dragon Mount, was empty this time!

“Dear guests, you are the first settlement to arrive at our restaurant!”

A clear and brisk voice echoed. It was exactly from Yu Long, the manager in a purple dress who welcomed them last time.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you again, honorable guests!”

The female manager smiled at them at the door and nodded at Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen.

There were almost twenty days to go before the deadline of the Ten-Species Competition.

Most of the battlefields didn’t have a winner yet. Also, because some aliens were in special environments, some of the battlefields still had more than five settlements.

The war on the battlefield where the Twin Dragon Mount fort was located ended so quickly only because human beings and the Eagle Men had great advantages and completely suppressed the other alien groups.

“Does it mean that we’re really the first in our province?”

Mister Bug looked rather excited.

There was no telling how many projections the City of Humans had.

It was because the actual number of projections depended on the number of visitors to the city after it was opened.

However, according to the statistics of the Confederation Office, everybody from the southwest province had appeared in this Three Thousand Restaurant after they entered the City of Humans for the first time.

Leaving aside the possibility that some settlements might have chosen other places as the destinations of their teleportations, the Twin Dragon Mount fort was likely the first to pass the quest among all the settlements from the southwest province!

“But is it really a good thing to be the first to pass the quest?

“Since no other settlements have passed the quest yet, we can’t make deals with anybody until the people from other settlements arrive, can we?”

Mister Bug was slightly confused.

“You definitely have advantages.

“There are actually certain privileges in the City of Humans that only the visitors who arrive early can enjoy.

“Also, dear guests, if you plan to enter the Battlefield of Providence again, I suggest you go there sooner!” said the female manager with a smile.

“Huh?”

Ji Ye’s expression changed.

Half an hour later, the visitors from the Three Thousand Restaurant fort walked to the very center of Three Thousand Restaurant, where the floor was paved with white jade and green stone pillars rose straight up to the sky. A lot of bright yellow light that represented mankind’s power of providence was radiating from the circular Battlefields of Providence.

“Huh?”

Noticing the diamond brilliance that gleamed when Ji Ye entered the Battlefield of Providence, the female manager in purple clothes looked rather surprised even though she was always calm and composed like a goddess.
