The news of the new level cap didn't cause the pro circle to panic, but they weren't as excited as the normal players. In comparison, the pro players still did what they were supposed to do. It was just that the other departments of the Clubs had to work even harder. The logistics department started to take stock of the materials because all of their current Silver equipment needed to be upgraded. It was possible that all of the materials they had accumulated over the years would be used up in a single day.
The Club guilds also increased the strength of their team dungeons. Although this last minute effort might not be of much use, it was a matter of attitude. They had to let the boss see how important this matter was!
Dungeon materials were easy to secure. The hard part was the wild boss materials. Especially in the Heavenly Domain. In order to show how important this matter was, the top guilds didn't care about their usual modesty and sent everyone into battle. Numbers were king. Corpses littered the ground. Ye Xiu's Alliance was starting to feel a bit powerless under this momentum. It was too messy and disorderly. The battle between the top guilds didn't care about coordination. There was only one word to describe it: charge.
Charging back and forth, no one could figure out how the bosses ended up in the hands of a certain guild.
This chaos continued for a week. Most of the guild leaders had already shown their worth, so the battle gradually returned to its original principles.
Rare materials were precious. But after so many years, it was impossible for the top guilds to not have any. In reality, everyone knew that what would truly affect the overall situation were the new level 75 dungeons and bosses.
The level 75 materials that would drop from these places were the deciding factor. As for these new dungeons and bosses, let alone fighting over them, just how to kill them would take a lot of time. What kind of bloodbath would the expansion pack bring? It was easy to imagine. Even the Esports Home did a report on the expansion pack. Of course, they analyzed it purely from the perspective of how it would affect the Pro League.
As for the specifics of the expansion pack, the officials were slowly revealing to the public.
First, they announced that the normal and Heavenly Domain maps would be expanded. There would be six new regions in each. These six regions would undoubtedly be the main areas of player activity for at least a year.
Six regions meant that there would be at least six dungeons and six wild bosses. Currently, the officials had released detailed information on the normal and Heavenly Domain regions. The Heavenly Domain naturally received more attention.
Barrier Mountains was the name of the new Level 75 map announced by the Heavenly Domain. It was a new territory in the northernmost part of the Heavenly Domain.
The main city of this region, Qianshan City, was located in the middle of the endless mountains that looked like a barrier.
The area of Qianshan City was not large, but it was one of the key points guarding this mountain range. And now, there was a pile of internal and external troubles waiting for a hero to save them. This sort of background story was necessary in the game, but for the pro circle, this sort of thing was completely unknown.
In the pro circle, what they were paying attention to was the other information about Barrier Mountains released in this wave of news.
The Barrier Mountains would have two 5-man Instance Dungeons, one 10-man Instance Dungeon, one 20-man Instance Dungeon and one 100-man Instance Dungeon.
Shadow Tactician Shahan was the wild boss of Barrier Mountains. He was also a character created based on the background story of this place. Of course, this sort of background wasn't something the pro circle cared about. What everyone was concerned about was what class Shaan was, what skills he had, what ultimate moves he had, and what good items he would drop.
The official website didn't release any of this information. There was only a one minute and forty-seven second animation, showing the players how powerful Shadow Tactician Shahan was.
The one minute and forty-seven second video was repeatedly watched and analyzed by the teams. The initial conclusion was that Shaan was a Nightwalker. The skills displayed in the demo already spanned across the three main classes: Warlock, Ninja, and Assassin.
This wild boss was extremely powerful, but in terms of attention, normal players didn't pay much attention to it. This was because the veteran players already knew that this difficult boss was not something normal players could deal with. It was something that the Club guilds fought over.
Players were more concerned about the dungeons, which they could also experience. At the same time, the pro circle didn't care about the background story and whatnot. The players were also quite concerned. Not long after the information was released, there were already people discussing the background story. Some sighed, some exclaimed, and some even wrote fanfiction … …
The game company cooperated with the promotion and created all sorts of offline activities to increase interaction with the players. For a moment, the Glory circle was bustling with noise and excitement. Everyone was happily welcoming the update that had been waiting for three years. For a moment, the pro circle was like a spectator. While the players were enjoying themselves, the pro scene was filled with the desire to win or lose.
Excellent Era, Club.
When this news was released, Cui Li, Chen Yehui, and the others were overjoyed. Just like how Wei Chen immediately realized that this was a very unfavorable situation for Happy, they also immediately realized that this was another safety bolt for Excellent Era.
Cui Li didn't say anything else and immediately called for a meeting with the various departments. Of course, such nonsense as making preparations for the new expansion pack would have to be said at least once during the meeting. After that, he directly called Chen Yehui's guild department and told them to organize their forces and increase the amount of information they could gather from the new dungeons and bosses.
Cui Li stared at Chen Yehui as he said this, his words especially meaningful. Chen Yehui and he were old partners, so they understood each other very well. After hearing Cui Li's words, Chen Yehui immediately followed up. He first expressed his department's position and then began to analyze the current situation.
"I feel like this is a very big opportunity for Excellent Era." Chen Yehui said, "Even though we're in the Challenger League, I don't think anyone here is only focused on the Challenger League, right? Tyranny, Blue Rain, Micrograss, Samsara … even though we're not on the same stage as them this season, they've always been our Excellent Era's opponents. But this season, on one hand, they have to deal with the Pro League, and on the other hand, they have to deal with the new expansion. The workload will definitely be very heavy. On the other hand, because we're only in the Challenger League, we can put more effort into researching the new expansion. Once we're fully prepared, we'll be able to return to the Alliance next season and crush them. This kind of opportunity is a blessing in disguise. Even though it's precious, I don't think anyone would want to have it again. So I feel like everyone should put in more effort and see how we can strengthen our team under this kind of opportunity. "
Chen Yehui spoke frankly and frankly. It was just that when he spoke, his gaze would often linger on the captain and vice-captain of the team, Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin.
Everyone here was a high ranking member of the Club, a core member. Which one of them didn't have enough brains? Seeing Chen Yehui's constant gaze and pondering over his words, he immediately understood this fellow's intentions. This guy was hoping that the pro players on the team could work in the game more often!
This season was the Challenger League, but the work of the departments like theirs was still going on as usual. Only the team, even though they had one match per week, only had these useless opponents. The players of Team Excellent Era didn't need to go all out. This kind of season was like a holiday for the pro players. In the past, the pro players wouldn't run to the game to mess around. They were afraid that it would disrupt their rhythm and affect their performance. But in the Challenger League, where Excellent Era was so relaxed, they naturally didn't have to worry about this.
It was just that this wasn't the responsibility of the pro players, so the Club couldn't force them to do it. So they could only let Chen Yehui give his instructions. They could only hope that the two captains would understand the meaning behind his words and show some self-awareness!
Everyone's gaze fell on the two captains. Cui Li took the opportunity to call out their names: "As for the team, they also need to actively deal with the new expansion!"
Captain Sun Xiang saw this. It was time for him to express his stance! He immediately cleared his throat: "You're right. The new expansion will bring a new level cap. Characters' stats and skills will all be different from before. In the Pro League, we can only fumble around as we play. It's hard to avoid oversights. We can calm down and properly study it. It's just a pity that the opponents in the Challenger League can't be used as a touchstone. It looks like we need to watch more pro matches to verify this! "
Sun Xiang's face was filled with emotion after he finished speaking, but the faces of the various department heads in the room were filled with black lines.
This guy really was an idiot! He didn't understand what the manager and Chen Yehui meant by echoing each other. He was actually seriously analyzing how the team should deal with the new expansion.
Even though your analysis is clear and logical, sorry, but you've gone off topic! Young people! You're still far from it. Look at the person next to you. He understands.
Everyone saw that when Sun Xiang finished his words, Xiao Shiqin, who was beside him, had a slightly awkward expression on his face. Clearly, he could tell that the Club wanted their team's pro players to do something. Unfortunately, Sun Xiang didn't understand the hint at all. He was still discussing the matter as it was. After saying this much, he still had to go up and fill in the gaps. This kind of captain really wasn't as good as Zhou Zekai, who only knew how to say "mm" and "oh"!
After all, Xiao Shiqin was experienced. This kind of filling in the gaps wasn't difficult for him. He immediately followed up: "If it's just through the Challenger League, the quality isn't high and the quantity isn't high. I think we can find other opportunities to test it out."
"Oh? You're talking about arranging some friendly invitationals? This is in the middle of the season. I don't think any team would accept it, right? "Sun Xiang said.
You … you really are hopeless! Xiao Shiqin was instantly speechless.
