I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1251: Fine Wine Chapter 1249: Chapter 1251: Fine Wine In Sky City, bursts of combat sounds could be heard, and at this moment, Song Jian and three elders from the Imperial Sword Sect were less than a hundred miles away from the City of Hope.

“Elders, the City of Hope is just ahead. When we get there, I will certainly fulfill my duties as a host and share a good drink with you three!” Song Jian said with a smile.

Almost every peak master and elder in the Imperial Sword Sect enjoyed drinking, but they mostly consumed their own brewed Spiritual Wines and fruit wines. These beverages were wonderfully flavored and had various effects, yet they weren't actually very strong.

Song Jian believed that he only needed to offer a few bottles of liquor like Moutai Wuliangye to satisfy them completely.

Liquors such as Moutai Wuliangye were quite valuable in the real world, but in the game world, one could exchange a bottle for just a few Doomsday Coins, which was nothing to speak of!

“Hahaha, I have heard that, young friend, you acquired quite a stash of Jade Liquid Wine in the Formation Atlas Secret Realm. I just wonder if we'll have the good fortune to taste it?” Elder Wang laughed heartily while stroking his beard.

Song Jian's face changed as he cursed inwardly, “This old rascal is so shamelessly direct in his asking!”

“Elder Wang, this Jade Liquid Wine cannot be consumed directly. It must be mixed with other fine liquors!” Song Jian said. “It's not that I am reluctant to offer the Jade Liquid Wine but I have yet to find a suitable fine liquor to pair it with!”

“Oh? As it happens, I have some Hundred-Flower Brew that I can give to our young friend!” As he spoke, Elder Wang produced a palm-sized wine gourd from his robe and handed it to Song Jian.

Song Jian accepted it and immediately understood that this gourd, like the one he had obtained before, was also a storage item. Checking its properties, he saw it could hold five hundred kilograms of liquid. When he opened the lid, he found it full of wine, with a rich aroma wafting out.

“Hundred-Flower Brew, gold-quality, beverage, usage properties: Upon first use, increases all attributes by one point, must consume at least five hundred milliliters at once! Upon subsequent uses, increases Spirit Points recovery rate by 80% for 10 seconds; excessive consumption (one thousand milliliters) will result in a drunkenness effect, lasting three hours!”

Seeing the properties of the Hundred-Flower Brew, Song Jian realized that he would probably not be able to keep the Jade Liquid Wine to himself.

“Haha, speaking of fine liquors, I have one here too, and its quality is definitely not inferior to the Hundred-Flower Brew that Old Wang has crafted!” said Elder Qian as he too passed a wine gourd to Song Jian.

Song Jian took it with a wry smile. Sure enough, it was another fine liquor, Jade Treasure Bamboo Leaf Wine. Opening the gourd, he saw a pool of wine as clear as emerald water, gently rippling with a rich fragrance that held a hint of bamboo.

“Another gold-quality fine liquor!” Song Jian thought to himself with a rueful smile.

“Hahaha, what a coincidence, I also happen to have a fine liquor!” Elder Xiao said beamingly, pulling out a wine gourd from within his robe and offering it to Song Jian.

“If you three old geezers hadn't agreed on this beforehand, I'd hand over the Jade Liquid Wine to you for free!” Song Jian thought fiercely to himself, but outwardly he accepted Elder Xiao's gourd with feigned gratitude.

“Five Treasures Exquisite Wine, yet another gold-quality fine liquor!” Song Jian took a look and shook his head slightly. It wouldn't have been strange for the elders to each have fine liquor on them, but that all three carried gold-quality fine liquor, about five hundred kilograms each, was a bit unusual. After all, even for elders, gold-quality fine liquors were not an everyday indulgence.

“If it weren't for the Jade Liquid Wine, would you three old coots give away these three fine liquors without batting an eye?” Song Jian scoffed inwardly.

“Thank you, elders. Once we repel the abyssal creatures and lift the siege on the City of Hope, I'll mix these three fine liquors with the Jade Liquid Wine to properly toast each of the elders!” Song Jian said with a beaming smile.

“Good, that was invigorating!” The three elders looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter.

While Song Jian and the three elders were flying swiftly toward the City of Hope with their Sword Flight Art, most areas within the City of Hope had already been occupied by the Abyssal monsters.

Up to now, only the area around the City Lord Mansion and the God's Temple District still belonged to the City of Hope. The rest were mostly overrun by the Abyssal monsters, some of which had even begun to randomly establish nests.

Outside the City Lord Mansion, over a thousand Abyssal players had completely surrounded the mansion. Most of these players were over level sixty and had second-tier combat power. Their eyes sparkled greedily and ambitiously as they stared at the City Lord Mansion.

“Charge, as long as we take over this place, the city will be ours!”

“Hahahaha, new cities are so weak. It only took us a few hours to breach its defenses. It's simply too easy!”

“The entire city's wealth is here. As long as we take over this place, there will be plenty for everyone!”

Inside the City Lord Mansion, nearly all the players of the City of Hope Alliance had gathered there. As long as the City Lord Mansion didn't fall, the City of Hope would still be theirs.

“When will the City Lord finally come back? If he doesn't return soon, he might not find any of us here.”

“Don't be afraid, everyone. With just this number of people, they're deluding themselves if they think they can break through the City Lord Mansion…”

“Vice City Lord, didn't you say that the City Lord left you with a secret weapon? Use it quickly!”

Wang Qi stood on the walls of the City Lord Mansion, looking at the dense crowd of Abyssal players surrounding them, and the Abyssal monsters running amok everywhere. His expression was so dark it seemed water could drip from it.

In his hand, he tightly held a crystal. It was a secret weapon that Song Jian had given him before joining the Imperial Sword Sect, which, once crushed, could summon the Black Dragon battle pet that had remained in the Toxic Swamp to aid in combat.

However, this crystal could only be used once, and given the Black Dragon's temper, there was no guarantee it would come. The psychological comfort it provided was perhaps greater than its actual effect.

“What should I do? If I crush it and the Black Dragon doesn't show up, the blow to morale might be even more severe!” Wang Qi hesitated, knowing that most of the players were already panicky. If he crushed the crystal, raising their hopes, but the Black Dragon failed to appear, most people would fall into deep despair, which could negatively affect the upcoming battle!

“Wang Qi, crush it. We're now in a desperate situation. If we don't use it now, we might not get another chance!” Luo Tianyu, clad in red armor, suddenly spoke up.

Looking at Luo Tianyu's heroic visage, Wang Qi pondered for a moment, then nodded, gritted his teeth, and crushed the crystal firmly.
