Every hour after that, there were hundreds of different ways to throw items, and not a single one was repeated. For example, selling items at the auction house at a low price, mailing them to random players, posting an announcement on the forum for players to mail Brother You, and then randomly send them back to him.
Some players who weren't too far from Moonlit Night Cloud City were regretting their decision. Due to the long distance, they thought that they wouldn't be able to catch up if they walked, but who knew that the other party would throw items like this? This had taken them an entire day. If they had set off immediately after receiving the news last night, they would have walked for more than ten hours to reach their destination. Even though they would have missed the first few rounds, they wouldn't have missed the later parts.
But now? No one knew how long Against the Heavens would throw items for. Whether or not they should start walking became a worry for these players. If they didn't go and the other party threw items for three days straight, they might miss out on their good luck. If they went and the other party threw items halfway, it would be infuriating.
In the midst of the dilemma, the players each had their own plans. Some immediately went on their way, while others gritted their teeth and waited for the event to end as soon as possible. At this time, every additional round was like a stab to them. They could have participated in these rounds if they had gone on their way last night.
According to the statistics on the forum, Very Against the Heavens had already gone through ten rounds of equipment throwing. If the number remained the same every time, there would have been five hundred items thrown, including equipment, accessories, scrolls, living materials, rare quest items, and other popular items in the market. Players who were lucky enough to pick them up, even if they weren't needed by their profession, could still earn a lot of money.
What was even more exciting was that after ten rounds, Very Against the Heavens didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. It was already midnight, but the two cities were still bustling with activity. Many players hadn't slept since last night and had stayed up until now. Those who were still persevering were people with extraordinary willpower and a strong gambler's mentality. Other than that, there were also many players who saw the number of people in these two cities. They felt that they wouldn't be so lucky, so they silently gave up. However, this didn't show up because some of the players who were further away from the main cities had set off last night. There were many players who had traveled for more than ten to twenty hours to reach the two cities. From this, it could be seen that no matter how determined a person was, they would not be able to resist the temptation of reaping without sowing.
"What do we do in the next round?" a member of the loot throwing team asked in the extremely overpowered guild channel.
"I can't throw anymore, I'll throw again tomorrow!" Imperial Divine Ming complained. At first, he found the scene of players frantically fighting over the items to be interesting. However, after repeating it over and over again, he began to feel numb. After becoming numb to this, he began to refocus on the value of the items in his hands. The more he threw them away, the more his heart ached.
"Why don't we just throw it away this time?" Cloud Twilight said. He and his brothers were not like Imperial Heaven Divine Ming, who did not treat other people's plundering as something fun. They treated it as a mission, so it was natural that they were tired after running around for the entire day.
"How much does everyone have?" The Han Family Young Master said.
There was no need for everyone to answer. The statistician, Brother You, reported, "We brought back a total of 774 items from Inch. We've thrown away 500 of them, so there are 274 left."
"If we continue like this, it'll take at least another five hours." Many people looked like they were about to vomit blood.
"Alright, then let's have a climax at the end of this!" The Han Family Young Master said.
"What do you want to do?" After a day of torment, everyone's interest in creating a climax had already waned. They weren't Han Family Young Masters, so they were more interested in tormenting others.
"Fifty people, five items each. Next, we'll throw out one item every ten minutes. Including the wave we threw out before, we'll have a total of six waves. Let's let everyone enjoy this hour!" The Han Family Young Master said.
"Alright, we'll do as you say." Someone said.
"Everyone can do as they please for this wave. You can throw however you want." The Han Family Young Master said.
"Can we throw them at each other?" Imperial Divine Ming asked.
The chat immediately became silent. Honestly speaking, everyone was interested in these items, but they were intentionally avoiding it. They were afraid that if they thought too deeply about it, they wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. Even if they weren't taking items from their class, it was still a large amount of gold!
"Uh, about that, I just saw that everyone seemed to be in low spirits, so I made a joke to liven up the atmosphere …" Imperial Divine Ming hurriedly said. Even in the chat, the sudden silence made him feel the awkwardness of the atmosphere.
For the first time, the Han Family Young Master didn't look down on him. He only said: "Everyone prepare yourselves, it's about time."
Just like that, the final round began.
Because the previous ten rounds had been very stable for an hour, the players had already accepted this setting. As such, many people only began to prepare when the time was almost up. However, there wasn't much they could do in this one hour gap. As such, many people were trying to figure out what kind of method Against the Heavens would use in the next round. After ten rounds, the method didn't seem to be repeated, and the players felt like they were in a maze.
At this time, the last round had just ended, and the players were the most relaxed. Looking at the time, there was still fifty minutes until the next round. Everyone was looking for ways to kill time, when suddenly, a figure appeared on a rooftop in a corner of the main city. He shouted: "The equipment is here." Then, he quickly disappeared.
No one paid attention to him.
Throughout the day, this kind of impersonation and equipment throwing prank had happened countless times. At first, the players fell for it. Then, they angrily caught the prankster and killed him. After that, they became a bit numb. At this time, it had only been ten minutes since the equipment throwing, and someone had already come out to do this. Everyone looked down on this guy for being so bad at scamming people.
However, among many people, there were still a few who wanted to get lucky. After a day of training, these people had a deep understanding of Against the Heavens' shamelessness. They believed that these people were capable of using any method. These people were the ones who fell for the prank, because they didn't want to give up any chance to 'suspect'. They were laughed at by many players, but they didn't give up. This time, they finally had a reward. One of the players who had climbed up to the rooftop with great difficulty found that there really was an equipment on the edge of the roof. The equipment was golden, and it was obvious that it wasn't trash.
The player quickly went over to pick it up and immediately fell directly from the roof in happiness. He fell until his head was dizzy, but he kept shouting, "I got it, I got it!!!"
When the surrounding players saw this and thought about it before, they knew that it wasn't a prank this time. It turned out to be real. They were so regretful that they beat their chests and stamped their feet. Similar scenes were happening in fifty places in Cloud Moonlit Night and the two cities. Although the fifty people threw it in different ways, the players' reactions were basically the same. Other than surprise, there was still surprise.
"It's thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown!" The news spread quickly in the two cities. Many people who were slow to hear it still couldn't believe it. "What's thrown, what's thrown?"
"It's very Against the Heavens. A new round of things has been thrown!"
"What? Already thrown? It's only been ten minutes! "
"Who knows? Anyway, it's already been thrown."
"Motherf * cker, do you have any credibility? Didn't you say that it would be thrown once an hour?"
The surrounding people were silent. After a while, someone said, "Who said that to you?"
Indeed, throwing once an hour was a rule that the players concluded themselves. It was very Against the Heavens and had never been publicly announced, although they had always done it.
Annoyed, dejected, and cursed. This throw caught too many people off guard. Many players were in a bad mood. It was as if if they had predicted this throw in advance, they would definitely be able to snatch the item.
Just when there was a deathly atmosphere, a long string of news suddenly came from the street. "Thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown again! Very Against the Heavens and thrown again!! "
"Equipment thrown again?"
"Yes, it's thrown again!"
"F * ck!!" Someone immediately looked at his watch and found that ten minutes had passed since the previous throw. Combined with the previous throw, someone immediately came to a realization. "F * ck, it's changed, it's changed to every ten minutes!!"
This was something that was easy to discover. The players were glad that it was not too late. Ten minutes! This was the time that passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone rushed to the streets, looking for the masked heroes. Masked people had become the standard image of the players in the two cities. Many witnesses said that the throwers had simple equipment and had no distinguishing features, but they were all masked.
Therefore, the masked people became the creatures that the players of the two cities loved and hated. The thieves and assassins of the two cities didn't dare to cover their faces on this day because it was too dangerous. Such strong emotions were unbearable whether it was hate or love!
With Mr. Han's observation skills, of course, he had noticed this detail long ago and naturally reminded everyone. The reason they masked their faces wasn't because they were afraid of being recognized, but because they were afraid of being remembered. But now that masked had become a special appearance, they naturally couldn't use this method anymore.
Therefore, in the next few rounds, they very Against the Heavens and developed a method of throwing equipment that didn't even need to meet. When the players realized that they had to guard the mailbox, they changed to something else.
At this moment, it was already the end. Even if they were remembered, there wouldn't be any consequences. The throwers all took off their masks and mixed into the crowd. The players were still stuck in the era of looking for masked people. They really couldn't keep up with the pace. Ten minutes passed, and no one was found. Only fifty items appeared on the streets without a sound.
This time difference was undoubtedly a little too short. It was so short that the next round had already begun before the news of equipment being thrown had spread to everyone's ears. The continuous throwing made every player excited. Clouds and Moonlit Night and Cloud City were filled with people running wildly. No one could guess what these overpowered people were going to do. Some people climbed the roofs to look for suspicious figures, some people squatted by the mailbox and waited for this pattern to repeat. Some people even ran to the outskirts of the city. According to statistics, up until now, there hadn't been a single time when an item was thrown outside the main city. Perhaps this method would be used next?
The overpowered throwers really didn't care about the players' psychology at all. In short, they did what was convenient. Most importantly, they had to ensure their own personal safety. They had seen the players who had evil intentions and had been trying to find the throwers to kill them. They hadn't even heard a word of thanks until now. Instead, they had been killed. Who could remain calm?
This was the craziest hour of the day. It was also the last hour. Every ten minutes, the players were excited again and again in the middle of the night. When the 750th item was thrown, the players were still waiting for the next ten minutes. Suddenly, a post appeared on the forums.
The next time would be the last. This time, there would only be one place in each city that would be thrown. However, each place would have twelve items thrown.
The biggest climax was indeed at the end. Although the total number of items thrown this time was not as good as the previous times, the lucky person who appeared this time was likely to take all twelve items. There was no doubt that he would be the ultimate winner of today's grand prize. The players were all excited and nervous. They all hoped that this throw would land next to them, but they were also worried that this throw wouldn't land next to them. Time passed minute by minute. Everyone didn't know whether to walk or stop. If they walked, what if they threw it at the place they had just walked? If they didn't walk, what if they threw it at a place they could have walked to?
"Dang dang dang!"
At this moment, a loud bell suddenly rang in Cloud Cloud City. The foreign players were at a loss, but the local players knew that this was the sound of their Cloud Cloud City's bell tower. Normally, the system would never ring this bell tower. However, there were some bored players who would randomly ring it from time to time. Today, everyone was focused on picking up equipment. Who would think of playing it?
However, at this moment, the bell tower suddenly rang. Everyone looked at the time. It was less than two minutes to one in the morning. Was this a signal from a very overpowered person, indicating that this throw was going to be on the bell tower? Or was someone deliberately trying to create some suspense at this sensitive time to distract everyone's attention?
Cleverness was often the result of such a situation. Smart people had too many ideas. They were afraid that this sudden ringing of the bell tower was a trap. They weren't like the straightforward players, who immediately ran over to check upon seeing this abnormal situation. They didn't make this trip in vain. The last throw event in Cloud Cloud City was going to be on the bell tower! This ringing was to give the players an early warning.
There were people below the bell tower. Hearing this sound, many people started to run up the stairs. However, this bell tower was the tallest building in Cloud Cloud City. From the bottom to the top, even the fastest players would find it difficult to run all the way up in two minutes. Moreover, the stairs of the bell tower spiraled upwards. If they ran too fast, it was very possible that they would faint.
These players who wanted to rush upstairs had undoubtedly made a mistake. They originally occupied an advantageous position, but because they wanted to make it even more advantageous, they ended up missing a good opportunity. Just as they were halfway up the stairs, those who ran too fast felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, they suddenly heard a surging cry from outside the building.
Everyone hurriedly looked for a place where they could look out of the building. They saw all the players raise their heads and cry out in alarm. Then, something flew past their eyes in a flash.
That's right, it was equipment, scrolls, items, and money. These were all money. They should have been able to stand downstairs, they should have had the opportunity to receive the large amount of money, but because of a momentary error in judgment, they lost such an opportunity. They could only watch the pie falling from the sky fall into someone else's mouth. They saw people fighting for these items downstairs. They didn't feel that it was a tragic scene. They only felt sad for missing such an opportunity.
They didn't have a chance to receive the items, but then someone remembered that the person who threw the items was still upstairs. They continued to rush, wanting to try their luck. But how could there be anyone on the roof at this time? Any random person with a teleportation scroll would have already flown away.
Moonlit Night City didn't have a bell tower, so they couldn't do such a thing. However, Moonlit Night City also had their own tradition: planting a flag.
In this place where people were fierce, fights happened every day in the leveling area. Planting a flag was something they invented as a way to avoid some trouble. They would mark their own leveling area and plant their own team's flag. For example, after the Ten Guilds Alliance planted their flag, no one would dare to provoke them again. Otherwise, if there were always people who came to fight and negotiate with each other, how would they be able to level for the day?
At this time, in the center of Moonlit Night City, two minutes before dawn, such a flag suddenly appeared. This was a flag that the players in Moonlit Night City didn't recognize. The flag seemed to have been made on the spot. There were no exquisite pictures on it, only a large word: Defy.
This strange appearance of this flag caused a commotion among the players. Some people had already guessed that this was a signal given by Defy, but what did it mean? Did it mean that the last round of throwing items would be thrown here? But ever since the flag appeared, this place had been surrounded by a sea of people. How could Defy come out? Teleportation scrolls?
Many people thought of this, so everyone immediately began to grab the best position near the flag. The bloody battle that took place in these two minutes was more intense than any other leveling area competition in the history of Moonlit Night City.
Two minutes passed in a flash, and the place where the flag was planted suddenly glowed with white light.
It really was a teleportation circle! The players were not wrong, but no one appeared in the teleportation circle. What appeared were twelve items piled on the ground. Yes, equipment, scrolls, props, money. These were all money.
Everyone rushed forward without any regard for their own lives. Some people had already turned into white light halfway through the process. Who would be able to get it in the end? This was an answer that no one could predict.
At the same time, Brother You's ID on the forum posted another post, announcing the end of the day's event.
