Chapter 332: Bustling Typhon City

Days passed by one after another.

After the magic turbulence ended, many people immediately teleported to Typhon City carrying large and small bags.

But in fact, some impatient folks had already teleported over during the magic turbulence.

Most of these people were in various cities, so they could just directly use the teleportation arrays of their local Adventurer's Guilds.

After all, with such a grand 'event,' how could they hold themselves back from coming until the very day.

And because of the early arrival of these people, Typhon City, which originally only had a population of several hundred thousand, saw its population skyrocket to over two million in just a day or two. This instantly made the entire Typhon City even more bustling.

Fortunately, knowing that a large number of people would definitely flood in after the announcement was released, Diana and the others had already expanded housing outwards by about three times during the month that Lan Qingyou had been preparing.

Don't underestimate this two-fold increase.

Although the diameter of the entire city only increased from five thousand to around fifteen or sixteen thousand, because it was circular, the further out it went, the larger the area became.

The style of these new houses still continued the previous stilt-house design.

It was just that considering they were to accommodate guests this time, and would very likely be used as gifts to those willing to live here long-term afterward, there was nothing to say about their construction other than being 'good-looking' and 'practical.'

After all, they were free. Whether it was for use during the auction or given away afterward, no fees were charged. Coupled with the fact that they were rushed products made in large quantities, one shouldn't expect much in terms of quality.

What stood out was simply that they were habitable.

However, because this subtropical style fit the geography of the Witch's Forest and the climate that had now started to turn hot perfectly.

So no one really found fault in this aspect.

No... actually, even those guys who rushed over immediately after seeing the announcement didn't have the time to find fault.

Because the time they came was still during the outbreak of the magic turbulence, so when they found out that there was currently no magic turbulence throughout the entire Forsaken Territory, they directly headed out of the city one by one.

Whether driven by curiosity or having missions on hand, they rushed out at the first moment, and then went on a 'grand pilgrimage' across the entire Forsaken Territory.

And seeing this, latecomers followed suit and copied their actions.

Even to the point that after the numbers increased, they forcibly opened up a tourist route that even Beatrice and the others hadn't thought of.

Just like this, they would head directly north from Typhon City to the snowy peaks of the Forsaken Mountains, then descend the mountains to stroll around the Forsaken City in the northwest, then drift down the western river valley to the Abandoned Harbor in the south, visit the towering cliffs in the east, and finally return to Typhon City.

Hearing about the rich and varied travel experiences along this route left Beatrice absolutely dumbfounded.

So she immediately organized the apprentice Witches still studying in school to go and build roads.

They spent a few days to get the roads on this tourist route paved before the auction.

Of course, this 'paving' was just laying some bluestone and doing a bit of beautification on the roads. Moreover, it wasn't the entire route, but only in some specific places, so the work proceeded very quickly.

Naturally.

Because of the influx of so many people in a short period, public order naturally deteriorated instantly.

Fortunately, Nangong Lengyue had also anticipated this point.

So she directly used her Demon Eye in the city, in crowded places, to execute a few troublemakers in front of everyone, after which public order improved considerably.

However, there were also newcomers arriving in Typhon City on the second and third days who didn't believe the warnings and wanted to challenge the excitement. As a result, after directly being taught how to behave, the reputation of the Witch Race's 'White-Haired Witch' Nangong Lengyue was also considered to have spread.

All those guys who came to Typhon City wanting to take advantage of the situation to commit crimes

"It's really bustling. How long has it been since I've seen such a lively scene?"

Standing on the balcony on the third floor of the giant tree hotel, 【Justice】 Riesling shook his wine glass and looked at the crowded and bustling throngs below as he spoke.

Such a scene now only existed in his memories.

At least in the more than half a year since he was teleported over, he had never seen such a scene.

Yes, not even in the main city of their Forest Elves could such a scene be seen.

At this moment, every tree and every suspension bridge in Typhon City was covered in colored lights. The crowds on the streets below were rubbing shoulders, and the hubbub of voices was deafening.

On both sides of the streets were various snacks.

Apart from some Witches driven by interest, most of these practitioners were Transmigrators under Shang Chuan and Beatrice.

Although making money wasn't the main theme of this auction, what was wrong with conveniently making some pocket money to subsidize household expenses?

After all, for this auction, the Witch Race had consumed a considerable amount of their stockpiled materials and currency.

Of which over ninety percent came from the personal stockpile of Lan Qingyou, the Clan Leader.

However, because the entire Forsaken Territory now belonged to the Witch Race, in a sense, it could also be considered Lan Qingyou's personal property.

Therefore, Lan Qingyou didn't feel much about this point.

If the money was gone and the items were gone, she could always earn them back again. Anyway, she had a mine at home, and the Supreme Council over there also owed her more than ten years' worth of materials.

But it was exactly this indifferent attitude that made Beatrice, a business school graduate, feel uncomfortable all over.

After all, building Typhon City better was also to allow these Witches to live better lives.

So... this was a debt of gratitude, a debt of gratitude that could not be fully repaid!

Thus, after finding Diana and the others to discuss for a while, these snack stalls emerged as the times required.

As for so many stall owners, as well as the administrators of the stilt-houses, they were directly selected from people who had previous experience from Typhon City, Forsaken City, and the Abandoned Harbor.

The ingredients were sourced from Nemo, Jiang Lan, Gu Xiaobei, Riesling, Freya, and others.

Of course, Shang Chuan and Chu Yuan's channels were also indispensable among them.

"Indeed it is. But the more it is like this, the more I look forward to tonight's auction."

Beside him, 【Lovers】 Freya, wearing a black slip fishtail dress, similarly held a wine glass and looked down below.

Behind them was the venue for this buffet reception.

This venue was created by hollowing out a giant tree.

At this moment, inside the brightly lit venue, over two hundred Evolvers of various appearances were engaging in lofty discussions with each other.

Among these over five hundred people, apart from a few from the Supreme Council, there were Clan Leaders of various sizes from different races, as well as agents of various organizations and factions.

It was also at this time that Diana, who participated among them, finally learned that there were actually some races with only a few thousand people.

Asking why Lan Qingyou didn't come?

Wasn't that a joke? With her temper, she still hadn't reached the level where she could smile playfully and socialize with people.

Moreover, apart from eating, drinking, and chatting with people to understand the situation, Diana and the others here were also shouldering another mission.

That was to pull people in to join them, to gather people to go up the mountain.
