Not long after Ye Xiu entered the game, it was already 12 o 'clock. The system announced the start of the event. Ye Xiu didn't even have time to eat lunch before throwing himself into the event.
The event's rules had naturally been researched beforehand. Players didn't need to accept any quests. All they needed to do was find and kill the Christmas thieves.
However, it was important to note that the Christmas thieves also had levels. Players would receive points based on their own level and the level of the Christmas thief they killed. The higher the level of the Christmas thief, the more points they would receive. Of course, if the points were too high, the Christmas thief could kill the player instead. Fortunately, Christmas thieves wouldn't actively attack players, so players just didn't need to provoke the high-level ones.
Apart from this, there were also Elite Christmas thieves. There were even BOSS Christmas thieves. Killing them would give players more points than normal thieves, as well as better gift packs.
"Ha ha, my luck's pretty good. I've already found one!" Ye Xiu heard Chen Guo laugh. He turned his head and saw that Chen Guo's Chasing Haze had already fired a cannon at a Christmas thief. The thief was hit by the cannon and immediately turned his head to pounce at Chasing Haze. At this moment, the nearby players also noticed this Christmas thief, but no matter how fiercely they attacked, the thief only stared at Chasing Haze.
This was also the special attribute of the Christmas thief: the first hit. Whoever launched the first attack on the Christmas thief would be the one to claim ownership of the Christmas thief. This was clearly to prevent players from fighting over the thief. Now that the Christmas thief had the ownership of the thief, other players' attacks would still be effective, but no matter how much damage they dealt, it would all be for the benefit of others.
When the attacking players saw that the Christmas thief already had a new owner, they immediately stopped fighting and turned around to look for a new one. The Christmas thief was nimble. It clearly wasn't something that could be dealt with so easily. His name was Thief, but his Glory class wasn't necessarily the Thief of the Night Walker class. At this moment, the Christmas thief caught by Chen Guo rushed over and slashed out with his sword. His aura was extremely heroic. He was a Berserker from the Blade Master class.
Chen Guo's Chasing Haze was a Launcher. At this moment, she had already jumped away with an Aerial Cannon and took advantage of this opportunity to fire another shot at the Christmas thief.
"Not bad!" Ye Xiu praised as he watched Chen Guo play. Using Aerial Cannons to increase the distance and attack and restrict the target at the same time was a basic skill for a Cannon Master. It could be seen that Chen Guo was quite proficient in this. Just now, she had done it all in one go.
At this time, Chen Guo was so engrossed in her killing that she had no time to pay attention to Ye Xiu's praise. Constantly moving around and dealing with the Christmas thieves, he was very familiar with the combat habits of a Launcher.
After Ye Xiu took a few glances, he returned to his own game. His Lord Grim had logged off in the wilderness yesterday. Looking around, he saw that the people running around were all players. He could see the Christmas thief in the distance, but with such a distance, how could he make it in time? As soon as the Christmas thief spawned, who knew how many attacks went up to greet it. It was so chaotic that even Ye Xiu wasn't able to determine who was attacking first. If the Christmas thief didn't attack first, he wouldn't be able to tell who was attacking first.
Ye Xiu had Lord Grim start moving, while looking over at Tang Rou. Tang Rou was in the same situation as him. In a sea of people, finding a Christmas thief was a bit difficult. In the competition for this event, luck definitely played a large role.
As Lord Grim moved, Ye Xiu opened up a new message. With a glance, he saw that it was from Su Mucheng.
"You're very punctual!" Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist said.
"Why are you here?" Ye Xiu was astonished.
"Of course! Of course I'm participating. "Su Mucheng said as if it was a matter of course.
"Are you very free?" Ye Xiu said.
"I'm sick." Su Mucheng said.
"What's the matter?" Ye Xiu asked.
"There's an event today, so I'm sick." Su Mucheng said.
"Be a bit more professional!" Ye Xiu replied.
"Who doesn't get sick?" Su Mucheng continued to quibble.
"How can a sick person participate in an event?"
"Because it's a mental illness. It's because I can't participate in the event that it's a mental illness, so I have to participate in the event to treat it." Su Mucheng clearly wanted to act shamelessly.
"Did you catch the thief?" Ye Xiu asked helplessly.
"Not yet. There's too many people. I'm preparing to go to Fire Forest to take a look." Su Mucheng replied.
"What a coincidence. Me too." Ye Xiu replied. Then, he glanced at Tang Rou. Han Yanrou was also running towards Fire Forest.
Obviously, under these rules, the higher the level of the map, the fewer players there would be. After all, aside from Christmas thieves, there were still monsters in the leveling area. High-level players could go to the low-level areas to wander around, but it was too dangerous for low-level players to come to the high-level areas.
"Actually, I think Fire Forest will be quite difficult." Su Mucheng said.
"I think so too." Ye Xiu agreed.
After all, this wasn't a leveling area. Players around Level 30, even if they weren't as skilled as Ye Xiu and the others, could still travel to Fire Forest. It wasn't that they couldn't deal with the monsters in Fire Forest. It was just that it wasn't a very efficient leveling area.
"Maybe we can go to a higher level? How about Sin City? "Su Mucheng said.
Sin City was a level higher than Fire Forest. It was a Level 37-39 monster area.
This leveling area was basically a town. Its layout was not much different from that of a main city. Only, this leveling area was much larger. Moreover, the NPCs inside were not friendly at all. The only interaction they had with players was that they would take the initiative to attack them.
"It's not that there aren't any players there. It's just that there should be a lot fewer of them." Ye Xiu said.
"Then let's go take a look first!" Su Mucheng said.
"Okay."
Ye Xiu had his own direction, so he didn't forget to call out to Tang Rou. Then, he looked at his friends list. Baozi had invaded, but that guy wasn't there. As for the others, such as Seven Fields, Sleeping Mist, and the others, they were busy online. However, for these people, going to a place that was so many levels higher seemed too dangerous. As a result, Ye Xiu didn't call out to them.
Actually, the higher the level of the map, the fewer players there would be. Everyone knew this logic. The key was whether or not they had the strength to survive in the high level areas. With such confident players, Ye Xiu reckoned that they would have already gone to places like Sin City.
On the way, Ye Xiu picked up two Christmas thieves. The Christmas thieves had a certain level of strength. At the very least, they were much stronger than leveling area monsters of the same level. The monsters only had normal attacks and didn't have any tricks up their sleeves. However, the Christmas thieves had classes just like players.
Having a class meant that they had skills. Usually, monsters like this were BOSS level monsters. In comparison, the Christmas thieves just didn't have the abnormal attack, defense, and health of a BOSS. However, having more attack methods meant that there were more variables in the battle. The Christmas thieves were much harder to deal with than normal monsters.
On the way, Ye Xiu had only killed two Christmas thieves. However, he had already seen five players killed by the Christmas thieves.
At this time, the players at the top of the Christmas Hunter rankings were all unknown players. It was clear that in this kind of event, the experts had all fallen due to luck. No matter how skilled they were, if they couldn't find a Christmas thief, wouldn't it be useless?
However, there was an exception.
Thousand Creations!
This guy was actually at the top of the Level 31-35 leaderboards.
As for this guy, he clearly didn't rely on luck to get this result. He had completely relied on shameless kill-stealing.
The Christmas thief's first hit rule prevented a lot of kill-stealing incidents, but it couldn't completely prevent it. Under such rules, the kill-stealing incidents that would occur would only be worse.
If the monster couldn't be stolen by dealing damage, then the only way was to kill the player who killed the Christmas thief. Then, the Christmas thief would naturally have no owner and would be taken down.
However, doing this would turn him into a rat on the street. Ye Xiu suspected that if Thousand Creations really maintained his lead on the leaderboards, then today's world chat would be about this shameless kill-stealer.
Speaking of which, this guy had already stolen quite a few Christmas thieves. Why wasn't there any cursing in the world chat? Before he paid attention to the leaderboards, Ye Xiu hadn't paid attention to this. Now that he looked at the world chat, it was all cursing the event for being too crappy and not being able to kill the Christmas thief.
When he saw the world chat, Ye Xiu couldn't help but think of Tyrannical Ambition's suffering last night. Even though it didn't matter to him who got the dungeon record, Ye Xiu still opened up the leaderboards to take a look.
The leaderboards hadn't changed. Tyrannical Ambition had only bought the guide in the morning. However, after Misty Rain Pavilion obtained the guide, it only took an hour for them to understand the guide and set a new record. Ye Xiu didn't think that Tyrannical Ambition's skill level would be bad. In addition, with their current situation, they should be impatient to set the record. According to his guide, even if they couldn't take down Misty Rain, they should at least leave a mark on the leaderboards. However, it looked like they hadn't done anything.
Thinking about it, it was probably because Tyrannical Ambition didn't have any suitable accounts.
The character that was being nurtured was naturally someone who was passionate about leveling. At this moment, he probably didn't have any more dungeon entries in Line Canyon. Tyrannical Ambition probably had a character, but they had to wait until the dungeon entries refreshed tomorrow.
"Tsk tsk, their hearts are probably dripping blood waiting for this day, right?" Ye Xiu sighed. Right now, he was just watching the gossip. He didn't need to side with any guild.
In front of him, Sin City's Level 37-39 leveling area finally appeared in front of him.
