“The Twin Dragon Island has announced that it will be renamed into ‘Dragon City’ and establish ‘Dragon City Group’. It’s hiring a thousand talents! (Popularity: 2.567 billion)”

“Dragon City will offer special invitations to talents across the world. You can apply via the group website today. (Popularity: 2.022 billion)”

“Dragon City will auction five special invitations four days later. Three of the top ten richest players in the world are bidding more than two billion dollars, (Popularity: 1.534 billion)” action

“Hogwarts announced that it had met the requirements for the advancement test and would take the Transcendent test soon! (Popularity: 0.746 billion)”

“Academy City announced that it was about to meet the requirements for the test. (Popularity: 0.683 billion)”

In the player base of Yang City, Ji Ye browsed through the forum of the Land of Inheritance on an encrypted computer after logging off.

Five of the top ten trending topics were about Dragon City, and the other five were about how other settlements were going to take the advancement test!

Among them, the post about Dragon City Group’s hiring had a popularity of more than 2.5 billion points!

Popularity didn’t equal the number of readers, but it still implied how influential Dragon City was on Earth.

Only two days after the message was posted, Dragon City Group already received half a million resumes.

That was the number of resumes that had been preliminarily screened to make sure that the applicants were suitable for the jobs. The total number of resumes was even more shocking!

The situation was for the same reason.

If they were hired by Dragon City Group, they would be directly connected to Dragon City, and they might be chosen by the Land of Inheritance on the next day.

Even if they weren’t hired by Dragon City Group, they would still be indirectly connected to it by sending their resumes via email.

Therefore, it was no surprise that the HR managers of international companies, professors of renowned universities, and PR managers of national hotels applied for the position of a receptionist that only had the average salary.

For the same reason, to work in Dragon City Group, a lot of people chose to demand a significantly lower wage and didn’t want to be paid at all. They expressed their opinion in the thousand interviews that Dragon City Group hurriedly arranged with hundreds of employees that were borrowed from Su Mingcheng’s company.

In fact, the interviewers from Su Mingcheng’s company accepted a tremendous amount of gifts. The smarter ones among them gave away the gifts they received and got themselves an opportunity to change their lives!

Apart from the hiring of the Dragon City Group on Earth, the most eye-catching news was the auctioning of the five special invitations.

Yes, Dragon City was not auctioning two invitations, but five!

It was because apart from Ji Ye, three other core players chose to sell their invitations.

In fact, it was very important for Dragon City Group to raise more funds by auctioning the invitations.

Even if the thousand employees were going to be paid with the average salary of Yang City, there would be a cost of more than five million every month.

Besides, if they wanted to establish a real Dragon City in Chidragon, even though Yang City had given them the greatest discount on the land price, they would still require a great amount of capital.

Although Dragon City could apply for a significant number of loans from banks with its highest Honor in the new Honor system, the loans might involve a lot of requirements, and they weren’t as straightforward as auctions!

The hiring of Dragon City Group might have made the middle class of the society excited, but the auctioning of the five special invitations raised the attention of the entire upper class.

Three of the top ten richest men in the world had expressed their intention of joining the competition. Their lowest bidding was two billion dollars, which suggested how attractive Dragon City was!

The crazy price was partly because Dragon City was the first Transcendent settlement on the Land of Inheritance, and partly because players were in charge of Dragon City.

Even if they received invitations to other settlements, they might be used as cannon fodder by the natives.

Also, they had to be commanded by the natives even if they grew strong. That was not a problem in Dragon City.

The “insiders” had already elaborated on the situation on the forum. Half of the players in Dragon City died during the advancement test, and many core players died too, which meant a lot of vacancies in the leadership positions. Those who were capable and ambitious all wanted to seize the opportunity!

The five invitations even caught the attention of many hidden magnates on Earth.

For example, the highest bidder had promised assets that were worth more than fifteen billion dollars for an invitation, which shocked the world.

However, when someone anonymously exposed that the bidder was actually a drug dealer and firearm smuggler that was wanted by the Confederate government and most of his assets were frozen, many people realized why he was so generous.

That was really a creative way of starting a new life!

However, Ji Ye didn’t really care who was buying those invitations.

Even if those bidders were backed by the greatest gangsters in their countries, Dragon City had nothing to fear.

No matter who they were, they had to keep a low profile after they entered Dragon City!

The gap between people on the Land of Inheritance would probably grow greater than the wealth gap on Earth as time went by.

“Huh?”

Apart from reading the posts on the homepage of the forum, Ji Ye also visited the branch forum of Yang City, only to find that the posts on the homepage about immigration and registration were very popular!

An unprecedented number of people were applying for permanent residence in Yang City. Their purpose was obvious.

On the forum, there was also a thread that couldn’t be replied to.

“Posts with titles that include ‘master’, ‘sleep’, ‘harem’, and other inappropriate content will be forbidden!”

Due to the fact that Dragon City was the first to become Transcendent, and because of the special invitations, it was impossible for him to cover up his identity anymore even though the Confederation Office was trying to get things under control.

After that, a lot of posts that were entitled “Things between me and the master of Dragon City” and “How I had a crush on the master of Dragon School in elementary school” appeared on the forum of Yang City!

Ji Ye grew curious and searched for the post “How I had a crush on the master of Dragon School in elementary school”, which had been deleted by the moderator.

After that, he sweated hard!

He found that the post was truly made by one of his classmates from elementary school.

Also, the post was quite touching too. Although most of the content was fictional, it was still much better than the web writer who intended to promote his book with the power of the state government during the first meeting in the player base!

After reading the post, Ji Ye even suspected that someone really had a crush on him back in elementary school when he hadn’t even hit puberty yet.

However, there was still the possibility that the post was written by a guy!

Ji Ye put on a cold smile.

He decided that after he was done with the business here and returned to the Land of Inheritance, he would send the guy who started the rumor to the wolf den to clean poops!

The only thing that was good for him was that he was called Master of Dragon City instead of Crossgod.
