It was precisely because the town currently had only one direction for development that Li Yunque had no more reservations and chose to retire directly.
He used to be a bit worried, fearing that Li Ruopu wouldn't be able to handle those old fogeys like Liu.
At that time, it was out of necessity, he could only take a gamble, but now it was different; no one expected Lord Chen to be so impressive, his rallying power instantly soared to the extreme.
He directly drove those old fogeys out of Tidal Town.
Without those old fogeys,
according to Li Yunque:
"If you still can't control this situation, then you should step down from this position as soon as possible and go be your top big brother!"
As for Li Yunque himself...
There was actually another reason why he retired so decisively.
That was, he was busy moving bricks and needed to earn more happy coins, otherwise, he wouldn't have money to enjoy himself in Happy Chess and Cards.
Currently, Tidal Town only had some miscellaneous matters.
Baiye City, as the superior, having gone through such an experience, probably wouldn't dare to try any new tricks, and indeed couldn't.
Amidst this thriving prosperity, Li Yunque couldn't think of anything that could prevent their Tidal Town from developing further and achieving prosperity for all citizens.
The immigration management bureau here was extremely busy.
And the immigration management bureaus in other regions were equally busy, though their directions of busyness were opposite.
On this day, You Xiaoxiao, the strongest Dungeon Lord in Gourmet Town, fell into deep thought...
"How could this be... so many people simultaneously submitted immigration application notices to Tidal Town."
"This... what on earth is going on? Could it be that fellow's Dungeon is really so much stronger than mine?"
"Am I really... so useless?"
A deep sense of frustration emerged in You Xiaoxiao's eyes.
She never expected that after so many years immersed in the Way of Gourmet, she would ultimately lose so completely.
"Lord, perhaps things aren't as you imagine! Don't... don't be so disheartened!"
The Wood Elf Girl below, seeing You Xiaoxiao's eyes turn red, quickly spoke to comfort her: "Actually, Lord, you're not that useless. After all, you haven't even found a boyfriend for so many years; in that regard, you are still far ahead."
"......"
Upon hearing the comfort, You Xiaoxiao cried even louder.
"The town originally had a population of only about 32,000, and now it has directly lost nearly 10,000, and the income from soul crystals has greatly decreased..."
"Sister Mengmeng, I'm sorry, I might not be able to help you in your great battle with that birdman this time!"
"Wuwuwu..."
At the same time,
Light Feather Town and Feiyun Town were also experiencing the same thing.
Especially the Adventurer's Guild President of Feiyun Town, upon hearing that the town's population had suddenly decreased by 3,000, was so angry he nearly fainted.
They had desperately suppressed the population, bringing it below 10,000.
This was to safely pass the Dark Tide and avoid the entire town being slaughtered by Dark Creatures due to the absence of a Dungeon Lord.
Now...
Folks, the Dark Tide has already passed!
We no longer need to suppress the population!
Please, can you not emigrate anymore?
The Adventurer's Guild President of Feiyun Town was on the verge of tears; the entire town originally had less than 10,000 people left.
Now, it was even worse, with less than 7,000 remaining.
The path to rise was distant and uncertain.
"What a sin!"
With a population of 7,000, it would probably be impossible to return to being a normal town.
Light Feather Town, Gourmet Town, and Feiyun Town, these three towns together accounted for nearly 20,000 immigrants.
Among these people, of course, it was impossible for all of them to be parents or close relatives, as the total number of immigrants from these towns originally was just over a thousand.
Now the number has multiplied more than ten times.
It was probably like calling in the cousin from the second uncle's third aunt's family.
Regarding this...
Tidal Town could only turn a blind eye and tacitly approve.
As long as there are enough people, then come!
Anyway, this population had to be filled, and if their town didn't get people, they would eventually have to fleece Baiye City.
Yes...
On this day, the most heartbroken was none other than Ma Lingzhi, President Ma of Baiye City.
Thirty thousand!
In the blink of an eye, Baiye City lost another 30,000 Adventurers.
They all ran to the neighboring Tidal Town...
And it didn't even take much time; almost as soon as the news of Tidal Town's level upgrade was received, a large number of immigration application notices appeared at Baiye City's immigration bureau.
This truly worried President Ma...
"Alas, why didn't we suppress that Battle Royale in time back then!"
During the post-mortem review, the people of Baiye City discovered that they still had a chance earlier.
When Battle Royale first debuted, hundreds of Adventurers simultaneously sent messages, requesting to hold this competition.
If the high-ranking officials of Baiye City at that time hadn't just known how to go to clubs and hug young ladies after work, but had instead paid attention to this Dungeon and delved into understanding it,
it certainly wouldn't have caused such a stir in Baiye City in the end.
Of course...
There is no 'if' in this world.
It is what it is.
President Ma could only eat first; out of sight, out of mind.
After this Tidal, he also wanted to retire.
This life...
It's simply unbearable!
If it weren't for the fact that in these few days, various Dungeon Lords had indeed produced good Battle Royale-type Dungeons, stabilizing these Adventurers, the losses would have been even more severe.
President Ma was still busy eating here.
Tidal Town, on the other hand, was like a New Year celebration, bustling with activity everywhere, with people wanting to build houses and expand.
It was truly miraculous.
Never before had any region been like this, gaining more population in a single day than its original population.
It could also be considered a miracle.
Compared to that, Deep Sea Town was much calmer.
This Dark Tide did not raise its level, nor did it lower it.
Although their population was full, and the entire town looked very good, prosperous in both spirit and material wealth, because they used Tidal Town's Dungeon, they did not receive Dungeon points in the rating.
This led to the level likely remaining unchanged, maintaining at 50,000.
It couldn't go up or down...
Unless one day the population plummeted, only then would the level drop.
