Chapter 60: 59: The Power is Named "Slash King Dot Dynasty
Chen Miao didn't overthink it but laid out everything in his backpack one by one.
The first thing that caught his eye was a... seal?
A round official seal.
It looked just like the kind you'd stamp on pigs ready for slaughter.
"Prop Name": Power Order.
"Prop Level": Grade E.
"Prop Effect": Once activated, this item allows the creation of one's own power group and the freedom to name it. It also grants various functions such as a 'Faction Effect' similar to city-state effects, 'Faction Territory,' 'Faction Warehouse,' 'Membership Identity,' and more.
"Prop Restriction": The person who activates this item will automatically become the leader.
"Prop Introduction": "Fighting alone might look cool, but it's tiring."
Chen Miao slightly raised his eyebrows and opened the "Fengtian City Power Rankings," which he was viewing for the second time. He hadn't paid much attention to this ranking list before. Notably, the family in third place was none other than...
"Chi Family, Power Value of 3.89 million."
The Chi Family, the very same behind the little girl who Hungry Monkey had mistakenly called that day.
As for this item...
He pondered silently without speaking, initially wanting to consult with Hungry Monkey and the others for naming suggestions. But since they had all gone to take showers, he couldn't be bothered to wait and deal with it later.
"Divine Dynasty"? "Sky-Exploding Gang"?
Hmm... a bit too juvenile.
"Rogue Dynasty"? "Rogue Group"?
Uh... that seems rather stupid. There isn't a single power on the Fengtian City Power Rankings with such a name. He wasn't sure if the name could be changed later; otherwise, he really felt like trying something like this for fun.
Just imagine if their power group ever topped the charts.
Those ranked below them would have to look up at such a name. He wondered what they would think.
"..."
After a long while, Chen Miao still couldn't come up with a suitable name. Rubbing his temples with a slight headache, he realized he wasn't cut out for naming things. Besides, the name couldn't just be anything.
The fortune teller said his life lacked water, so he added the character for "Miao," only for a flood to wash away all but one person on his family register as a child.
Well, he certainly wasn't lacking water after that.
One could say his cup of fortune was overflowing.
Another moment passed, and he shook his head, giving up. He simply had no talent for naming—just picking any decent-sounding and somewhat normal name would have to suffice.
The next second—
"Ding, congratulations to player Chen Miao for successfully establishing his own power group and naming it 'Tomb Guardian.'
Currently, the 'Tomb Guardian' power group ranks at number 123,792 in Fengtian City Power Rankings with a Power Value of 0."
"Membership Identity and Member Attire functionality unlocked."
"When Power Value reaches 10,000 points, additional functionalities such as Faction Effect and increased membership will be unlocked."
"Fengtian City has 120,000 power groups?"
Chen Miao was somewhat surprised, but he quickly understood where these 120,000 powers came from. Besides massive entities like the Chi Family, various gangs, companies, societies, schools, and others also counted as powers.
With that in mind, 120,000 didn't seem like a lot.
Membership Identity and Member Attire were the most commonplace features. With some Star Coins, one could produce uniform attire to make their power group members more recognizable. This was something many chain and restaurant businesses would do for their employee uniforms.
And Membership Identity was essentially stamping this seal on members' clothing.
It's like a corporate logo.
Similarly used to increase recognizability and enhance brand effect, it's among the most basic functionalities.
And the method to increase Power Value was quite simple: one point of Combat Power within the faction equaled one point of Power Value, and each month, the Power Value would autonomously increase based on the faction's influence in Fengtian City and the Federation.
Besides that, there was another method: spending 10 Star Coins to add one point to the Power Value.
These three methods were the only ways to increase Power Value.
They had not gone to the Secret Realm Building to measure their Combat Power, and their Power Value was effectively zero. So far, it seemed that Power Value wasn't of much use; its only purpose was to slightly raise one's ranking on the leaderboard and to unlock new faction functions.
Currently, their "Tomb Guardian" faction could accommodate 20 members.
No more, no less, just right.
There were a total of 19 people, which was enough.
Afterward, he sent out invitations to Hungry Monkey and the others to join the faction.
...
Meanwhile.
Located outside Fengtian City.
The deputy director of the Events Bureau was frowning at the nearly riddled ground in front of him, while a large number of government personnel were directing trucks and cranes to clear the bodies, preparing to take them to the landfill for incineration.
To be honest.
Although this method was powerful, he wasn't very surprised; he had seen even more formidable people.
Not to mention the distant ones, the Patriarch of the Chi Family, a Lv.26 "Demon's Right Hand," a hidden occupation of the fighter series, he had personally witnessed this man punch a Lv.30 boss to death on the spot in the last major event.
Countless rays of light emanated from the middle-aged man's fist as he leaped through the air. He merely punched at the boss on the ground, and a huge fist of light emerged in the air, smashing the boss into the ground.
The Federation was too vast, and Fengtian City was located in a relatively remote area. Experience the journey on m-vlem,pyr
The level of Lv.26 was just the tip of the iceberg in the whole Federation.
But...
It had been a very long time since he had seen a professional gunman with such capabilities; the strongest known Gunman Profession in Fengtian City was an official Lv.22 "Mechanical Demon," another hidden occupation within the Gunner Series.
This person had converted all parts of his body except for his brain and some vital organs into machinery.
While possessing the physical strength of a fighter, he could fill any part of his body with firearms, strong in both ranged and close combat.
And he wielded a Prop Level B "Hell Gatling" enhanced to +9. Under his special hidden occupation skills, each bullet would carry a potent explosion. Once he opened fire, he alone could form Firepower Coverage.
This person was named Sang Biao.
He hadn't seen Sang Biao and the Patriarch of the Chi Family fight, but if the two were to fight, the Patriarch probably wouldn't dare to charge head-on against Sang Biao's firepower. What truly shocked him was that... an unknown, potent Gunman Profession had emerged in Fengtian City.
Whether this person was from Fengtian City had great implications for what was to come.
If so...
That would be great. In the upcoming Gunman exclusive secret realm, Fengtian City would have a better chance, possibly revitalizing the glory of gunmen.
If not...
It meant the news had leaked out, and gunmen from other cities were preparing to snatch Fengtian City's opportunity, which would be a serious problem.
Just then.
An employee came over, holding a laptop and reported, "The specific data is out, the siege boss of this random event was Grave Digger, a Lv.12 siege boss."
"Its main ability is to resurrect corpses from the ground or nearby dead people, significantly enhancing their abilities to fight for him."
"It belongs to the kind of legion boss whose power increases substantially once it manages to kill some people."
"All of its skills are aura types that strengthen the abilities of its underlings. Its own defense and movement speed, including attack power, are on the weaker side. It seems that this Grave Digger boss was originally headed to the nearby Eternal Cemetery."
"Unfortunately, it hadn't gotten very far before being killed by Chen Miao, without any chance to use its abilities, turning it into a sitting duck."
