Because Xi Wei needed to calm down and slowly digest the Aquatic Lord's divinity fragment, the players suddenly found themselves a lot more idle during this time.
No, it wasn't exactly idle. After all, the highest level players were only around Level 30, and the level cap had already been raised to Level 60. Xi Wei was basically using this simple and direct method to tell the players, "You guys still have a long way to go, hurry up and continue grinding! Don't stop! "
There was indeed a lot that the players could do. The Unnamed Town, the Underground Hideout of Lancaster, and the Frogmen Village all had their own quests. The outer regions of the Valley of the Tragic Dead were only 25% explored, and the newly opened Grey Fjord Sea was only 1% explored … Many players died in the sea because they couldn't swim, and had to rely on the frogmen to bring their floating corpses back to the Frogmen Village for the cleric players or the Frogmen Elder to resurrect.
There was also a Lifestone erected in the center of the Frogmen Village, allowing players whose corpses were eaten by the fishes to be resurrected in the Frogmen Village — although it didn't mean much other than saving half a day's travel time.
But now, players could also pay game coins at the Lifestone to teleport to the Unnamed Town or the Underground Hideout of Lancaster.
At first, Xi Wei was hesitant about whether to place the Lifestone in the Frogmen Village. He was afraid that the Ocean God would come and see that the Aquatic Lord's divinity had disappeared, and in a fit of rage, he would use the Lifestone to attack his Divine Kingdom.
But then he thought about it. With so many players carrying bricks in the Frogmen Village, even without the Lifestone, the Ocean God would most likely find something to use against him.
And if there was no way to teleport, it would take a long time for the players to return to the Frogmen Village, which would slow down their development.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xi Wei, who felt that the sky was about to rain and his mother was about to get married, decided to let the Elder put the Lifestone in.
Seeing that the players were so excited about carrying the bricks, Xi Wei from the Heavenly State smiled in relief.

After the Iron Cauldron Tavern closed for a few days due to the owner's activities, it finally reopened for business.
Business was booming as usual.
One day, the owner of the shop was pasting a notice on the wall that read, 'Guests are welcome to bring their own ingredients, except for the Aquatic Angels. Please do not bring your summoned beasts to the owner as seafood'. Just then, Joe walked into the shop dejectedly.
"If it isn't Pavel," said Pavel, who was Joe Pavel. Ivan, who was eating and drinking with his teammates in the tavern, saw him and greeted him. "I haven't seen you for two days. Are you carrying bricks in the Frogmen Village?"
Because they were all Warrior players, they had a good relationship with each other. Occasionally, they would have a meal together, fall, or run dungeons together.
"Don't mention it. I accepted a mission and went out to catch some livestock for the town's ranch. However, all the animals went into hiding during the winter. I went into several caves and alarmed many bears. It took me two whole days to catch a snow-tailed muntjac that met the requirements of the mission in a small valley a few miles away."
Charle's face was bleak. "Guess what the reward was?"
"What?" Ivan asked curiously.
Then Joe began to perform a perfect horse-riding dance.
Ivan:???
I'm asking you what the reward is. What do you mean by dancing? Even though the dance looked quite twisted …
It wasn't long before Joe stopped.
Ivan clapped his hands and said, "Well done. But what does that have to do with what we were talking about just now?"
"Because it's the reward." Joe looked like he had nothing left to live for. "After I completed the mission, I gained a new skill called 'Horse-Riding Dance'. After I activated it, it was like that."
"Then what effect does this Horse-Riding Dance skill you mentioned have? For example, something like a War Dance skill that buffed oneself? "
"No," Joe replied dryly. "It's just a dance. There's no other effect."
Hearing this, the players in the tavern all gasped in horror.
"So you're saying that the quest reward wasted a skill point on learning this useless skill?" Ivan frowned, thinking that the quest was a bit too much.
"Skill point? No, I didn't. This skill just popped up. It didn't cost me a skill point, "Joe explained. "And it didn't appear in the skill tree. Instead, it unlocked a strange panel called 'Collection'. There seems to be something else apart from dancing …"
"I see."
Ivan nodded solemnly and then slammed the table. "Boss, the bill! Paul, can you tell me where you received this quest? "
"Hmm?"
Joe looked at Ivan in confusion, not understanding why he would ask such a question. "You want to do it too? But this skill really isn't useful … "
"Sigh, it has nothing to do with whether it's useful or not. I'm just a person who always wants to collect things that can be collected. Your Horse-Riding Dance is quite fun, so I want to collect it. It doesn't cost me any skill points anyway." Ivan explained with a smile.
"Boss, I want to do it too!" One of Ivan's teammates joined in the fun.
"Don't joke around. Why are you learning this?" Ivan frowned, afraid that Joe would think that they were making fun of him.
"No, even though we attended the previous two banquets, I felt like something was missing. There weren't any female players trying to flirt with us. Now that I think about it, there was no dance! If I knew how to dance, I wouldn't be like that! " The player's saliva flew everywhere as he excitedly said, "That dance just now at the banquet must have been very exciting!"
Hearing his words, the other players in the same party also came over with great interest.
"Yeah, yeah, it doesn't cost me any skill points anyway. It's not a loss to learn a little!"
"Ahem, I'm more of an artistic person. I just thought that the dance looked good."
"Flirt with us!"
Joe had no intention of keeping it a secret. He told them about the quest's client and the quest process. The players, led by Joe, quickly paid the bill and left the tavern to work hard on learning the Horse-Riding Dance.
Joe was left standing there with a confused look on his face.
After a while, he suddenly started dancing the Horse-Riding Dance again.
"It does feel like it's fun …"
Not far away, Boss Tie Fu, who had just finished putting up the notice, watched coldly. This was not the first time this had happened.
