“Another one,” the man sighed. “Come with me, and I will tell you everything to help you survive longer in the Silver City.”

The man then led Nems to a small hut.

Then I introduced myself.

His name is Larry III.

I have lived in this silver city for seven or eight years.

I have a fairly good understanding of the situation in Silver City.

From him, Nemus learned about the general situation of the Silver City.

The city of silver has a permanent population of approximately 50,000.

And this number of 50,000 people remains basically unchanged.

Because once someone dies, a new person will be brought in to replace them.

The way to replenish is by 'refreshing'.

The refreshed characters are all different kinds of people, and they will have a certain amount of common sense.

However, lately, there has been an increasing number of people who lack common sense.

Chapter 723 The Silver Seed of Alchemy

The reason for this is that some people refresh the page repeatedly.

For example, Larry III.

There were two similar Larries before him, but they both died.

Larry number three only just appeared.

People like him who only refreshed the page three times are actually quite rare.

Some people died quickly and in large numbers; the number has already been refreshed more than ten times.

That's why, when these people respawn, they don't even remember much of the common sense.

Even their appearance has undergone a drastic change.

In Larry III's view, Nemes might just be that kind of person.

The entire Silver City is a single entity and is virtually indestructible.

This has led to a problem: the Silver City lacks normal production capacity.

Trees cannot be cut down, paving stones cannot be dug up, and the soil is basically a single piece, making it difficult to plant.

Therefore, all material production relies on another thing that refreshes – events.

For example, the ghoul event that occurred previously could produce resource cards such as unknown meat chunks, and occasionally weapons/materials such as bone clubs.

Aside from the ghoul incident, various other events will occur in different parts of Silver City.

For example, [Resurrection of the Dead], [Training Ground], [Elf Farm], etc.

Some of these events refresh randomly, while others refresh at fixed times.

In this context, people's lives and events are closely intertwined.

Some of these events are not very dangerous and spawn at the same location every day, consistently producing some survival resource cards.

For example, in events like "agricultural rat infestation," even ordinary people can enter and obtain resources such as crops, rat meat, and rat skins.

However, some dangerous events, such as [ghouls eating people], require card users to enter and fight.

A card user is someone who uses cards to fight.

The prerequisite for becoming a card user is to create your own core card.

For example, a warrior needs to practice swordsmanship and other skills for a long time.

After practicing thousands of times and elevating one's skills to a certain level, one can then condense cards.

Only at this time can you resonate with the cards and continuously improve your own stats.

Once the value reaches a certain level, it can become a Silver species.

Upon hearing the words "Silver Race," Nemus narrowed his eyes, as if he had sensed something.

"Indeed, there should have been a silver variety as a transition between the steel and gold varieties."

Naims then reached his conclusion.

The first problem lies in the fact that while the difference in rank and understanding of the world is not significant between the Gold and Mythic species, the difference in numerical values ​​is enormous.

The value range for gold is between one hundred and one thousand.

Theoretically, the numerical range of mythical species there is between one thousand and ten thousand.

However, in reality, the numerical range of mythical species is between 10,000 and 100,000.

There was an inexplicable jump to a certain interval.

Nemus had been puzzled by this matter when he first encountered the mythical bird, the Five-Tailed Bird.

Looking back now, perhaps the original value range of 100 to 1000 was for the Silver variety.

The value range for gold is between one thousand and ten thousand.

That might be the reasonable approach.

Nems pondered the matter carefully and felt increasingly horrified by it.

It's like hollowing out a whole section of the world's rules and history.

The value of the gold variety has fallen to the vacant position.

This artificially created a huge gap between the Golden Race and the Mythical Race.

In this situation, the Golden Seed can no longer reach the position of the Mythical Seed.

"If that's really the case, then this event most likely occurred at the end of the Golden Age," Nemus thought.

Because at that time, something extraordinary happened in the world—the abyss was born.

The Golden Seed, desiring to become a Mythical Seed, recklessly studied numbers, resulting in the creation of numerous broken numbers.

These fragments caused chaos in the world.

To deal with this chaos, the gods gathered the fragments together, forming the Abyss.

Thus ended the golden age.

If silver disappears and gold falls from its level, then that might be the time when this event occurs.

Or perhaps after the Golden Age, there was a Silver Age, but the entire Silver Age disappeared along with it?

"This is a truly ruthless person, involving changes across the entire world." Nemus thought to himself.

Nemus then paid closer attention to the changes in the world, to see what was going on with this lost silver.

With further understanding, Nemes gained a deeper understanding of this world.

The existence of silver-grade silver is definitely not complete.

They can't improve their stats through meditation or breathing; everything depends on skill being refined into core cards, which then improve their stats.

The whole process is difficult, progress is slow, and there are various risks.

"Why do I feel like this thing looks more and more like alchemy?" After Nemus understood the formation of the Card Player, he was not misled by the name Card Player, but recognized the essence of this profession - alchemy.

A certain skill is refined and condensed into a card, and then resonates with the card.

Nemus manufactured rampage accessories, creating a group of rampagers.

These berserkers, due to their mental turmoil, are unable to use normal magic, so they can only use steel ball arm guards crafted by alchemists.

The berserker's mental strength resonates with his arm guards, thus gaining combat power in this way.

Looking beyond the surface, Berserkers and Card Masters are actually the same type of profession.

The cards are just a bit more refined.

Using the skills that connect with itself as the core, it can resonate and enhance the numerical values.

Larry No. 3 is not a card user, and his knowledge is not particularly profound, but having lived for seven or eight years, he can explain all sorts of common sense things very clearly.

It was at this moment that Nems felt hungry.

"A long-lost feeling," Nems thought to himself.

Since reaching the Golden Seed, he has no longer been troubled by the life instinct of hunger.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in this city of silver, I experienced hunger once again.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat!” Larry No. 3 said quite naturally.

Nemes nodded, and was then led into an alley.

Larry No. 3 knocked on the back door of some building.

As the door opened, a burly man with dark red skin and a full beard poked his head out.

"Larry, long time no see!" The bearded man smiled broadly upon recognizing Larry Number Three.

Then his gaze fell on Nems.

"New stock, looks pretty good." The bearded man looked Naim up and down and gave this assessment.

"A piece of meat!"

"Add more, this is a rare find. I risked everything to pull it out of the ghoul incident."

"I'll give you some more soup. Come on, the older sister is inside."

As he spoke, the bearded man stepped aside.

In just a few words, the two sold Nemes to the so-called "big sister".

Chapter 724 Worthless Human Lives

Nems glanced at the group, smiled, but didn't say anything more.

The bearded man stared at Nemus, seemingly unafraid that Nemus would escape.

Nemus glanced at the bearded man's waist, where a card slot was hanging, clearly indicating that the other party was a card user.

No wonder Larry No. 3 talked so much about card users before, and repeatedly reminded Nemus not to offend card users.

Ordinary people are just playthings when facing card users; they have absolutely no ability to resist.

In addition to their own core cards, they can also obtain various cards from events to fill their decks.

These cards work together to instantly boost the card user's power to its limit.

Based on what the other party said, Nemus estimated that the card user who had condensed the core card had a combat power equivalent to the extreme value of the Black Stone species.

Through resonance, the deck's card usage rules were improved, essentially making it a steel-type deck.

Then it sublimates itself into a silver species.

The silver variety is currently judged to be inferior to the gold variety. Although the numerical values ​​are similar, it does not have various sublimation states, nor does it have the means of observing the heavens and earth, such as the Golden Key.

Both in terms of its upper limit and its essence, it is far inferior to the gold variety.

"But this does not mean that the silver grade is weak. This grade is very likely to be a supplement to the gold grade."

The path to gold mining has been cut off; this is a widely acknowledged fact.

The extreme value of the gold seed is already the limit that conventional life forms can reach.

Even saints merely borrow the divine power of gods to create their own holy power.

Even if Naims came up with a way to revert and reconstruct, it would take too long, so Naims had already given up on it.

But things are different now.

Nemus watched all this, his mind racing with thoughts.

Silver seeds are a supplement to the path of cultivation. If silver seeds are perfected, then the upper limit of Naim's gold seeds will reach the level of ten thousand.
