"Everyone should know that there are eight main cities in the China server. Each main city governs a Mirror Map between Level 10 to 50. However, once players reach Level 50, they must leave this small area and enter a level-50 + map. However, this is not something that can be easily done. All players must complete a very long and tedious quest to open the checkpoint that leads to the level-50 + area! "
Zhang Yang sighed in his heart. This Dream Technology really knew how to make money. It was clearly robbing the players' assets, but it covered it up with a very beautiful packaging.
"What kind of quest do we need to do?" Wei Yan'er asked first.
"This version is called Expedition. In other words, we need to go out and fight the enemy! However, as the saying goes, before the three armies move, rations and fodder must be prepared. Without war reserves, how can we win this war? Therefore, from now on, players can go to the Expedition Quartermaster in the main city and hand in all kinds of materials. This is a repeatable quest. For example, hand in 20 Cotton Bandages and 10 Healing Potions. In any case, the NPC will accept anything! Every time a set of materials is received, the Quartermaster's reserve will increase a little. There is a progress bar! When it reaches 100%, the army will move to attack the checkpoint and open the path to the level-50 area! "
"Wow, this system is really evil!" Daffodil said immediately.
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "However, even if players do not hand in the materials, the progress bar will increase by itself. It's just that the speed is much slower! When players hand in a certain amount of materials, they will be rewarded with a treasure chest. There is a 99% chance of getting a Reputation Badge and 50 Reputation Points in the Alliance. In addition, there is a 1% chance of getting equipment, professional recipes, gems, etc., ranging from Black Iron to Gold-grade! "
"Yellow, Gold Grade!" Starlight Unlimited stuttered.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "However, don't get your hopes up! The probability of getting equipment is already 1%. If you want to get a Gold-grade equipment … the probability might not even be 1 in 100,000 or 1 in a million! "
"That's still a chance!" Starlight Unlimited was eager to try. "Currently, we can only get Gold-grade equipment from the Evil Sorcerer Shaq. He only drops two pieces every seven days. It's not enough!"
The others nodded. Who would not want the best equipment at the moment? However, the drop rate and the boss' respawn time meant that the best equipment could not be widely distributed! If it was popularized, it would become a street product!
Zhang Yang said, "The world's 64 main cities each have their own storage progress. Whichever main city finishes accumulating supplies first, the expeditionary army will launch an attack on the demon-occupied fortress! This was an extremely vast and epic battle. There would be waves of enemies rushing out from the stronghold, about ten waves! Every wave consisted of countless small monsters and a boss. All the players had to work together in order to resist the monsters' attacks! The NPC army will help the players, but there won't be many of them. The main force will still be the players! "
He continued, "Only after withstanding ten waves of monsters and killing the fortress general can it be considered a victory. Otherwise, we'll have to wait two days before the expeditionary army launches a second attack. All the players in the main city that is the first to conquer a fortress will receive a reward similar to a temporary 100% increase in Experience Points. Apart from that, the players whose contribution points reach the top ten in the battle will receive additional rewards. It might be Silver, Gold, Skill Books, or Skill Points! "
"After the death of the fortress general, a Castellan Order will drop. The player who obtains it will become the nominal owner of the stronghold and receive the title 'Hero of XXX City'. The fees for equipment repair, gem embedding, and teleportation will be permanently reduced by 50%! There are 64 main cities in the world. As long as one main city completes the battle to conquer the stronghold, the remaining 63 main cities' strongholds will be automatically conquered. There will be no ten waves of monsters and no generous rewards! "
"After conquering the stronghold, the eight main cities of each region will officially open the teleportation circle. Players can use the teleportation circle to travel to any main city. The eight main cities' banks and auction houses will communicate with each other. There's no need to return to your original main city! "
"Next, the Level 50 Poisonous Fire Dungeon behind the stronghold will be opened. This is a 20-man dungeon. Players must clear it once to complete the Level 50 Class Mission!"
Zhang Yang shrugged and concluded, "This is probably the content of the Expedition version!"
"In other words, not only do we have to compete with the other seven main cities of the China server, but we also have to compete with the 56 main cities of the world?"
"Yes!"
"After Level 50, players from the eight main cities of the China server will train in the same map?"
"Yes! But it's not just one, but many! "
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and hand over the resources. Let's be the first to start the battle!"
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Handing over the resources is not something that can be done with just a few people. We have to mobilize all the players! Hundred Shots, Narcissus, immediately spread the news in the guild and let everyone understand the meaning of the stronghold battle! "
"Okay!" Hundred Shots One High and Narcissus nodded.
After listening to Zhang Yang's introduction, everyone went to do what they were supposed to do.
Gathering resources was a long and huge task. It would take at least half a month to complete! Zhang Yang rode his horse to the flying point, rented a Gryphon, and flew directly to the Barren Feather Grand Canyon. He had to get to Level 50 first.
Two days later, Zhang Yang's body flashed with a golden light. He had successfully reached Level 50! After equipping a series of Level 50 equipment such as the Dragon Fang Battle Axe, Blood Tiger Battle Boots, and Perpetual Cloak, his various attributes soared again!
Health Points: 11230, Attack Power: (1528-1728) x 105%, Strength: 437, Agility: 169, Armor: 420, Damage Absorbed: 450!
The First Clear of the Castle Area and the Skill Points reward for reaching Level 50 were all added to the "Shield Wall" skill. Currently, the cooldown of the skill had been reduced to 5.5 minutes!
Zhang Yang tore open the Teleportation Talisman and returned to Baiyu City. He went to find a Class Instructor to learn new skills.
"Young Warrior, your growth is getting faster and faster! However, the path of cultivation is difficult. It's like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't move forward, you'll fall behind! Are you ready to move on? "Aine looked at Zhang Yang with a serious expression.
Zhang Yang immediately said, "I'm not afraid of any challenge!"
"Very good. At least you've proven that you still have courage!" Aine nodded in satisfaction.
"Ding! You have accepted the quest: Level 50 Class Quest! "
[Level 50 Class Quest] (Quest Difficulty: Optional)
Quest Description: Kill Rosian Copper Hammer and prove that you still have the qualifications to become a Warrior! Rosian Copper Hammer is hiding in the Poisonous Fire Land. It is a very dangerous place. Please bring enough of your friends! There are three difficulties for this quest: A-Rank, Kill Rosian Copper Hammer in Death Mode. B-Rank, Kill Rosian Copper Hammer in Hard Mode. C-Rank, Kill Rosian Copper Hammer in Normal Mode.
Completion: Kill Rosian Copper Hammer 01
The highest difficulty is only A-Rank and not S-Rank? Zhang Yang smiled. He was probably the only one who knew that there was a hidden option for this quest: After killing Rosian, kill the hidden boss of the Poisonous Fire Land, Queen Medusa Silica, and you will receive an S-Rank reward!
However, the hidden boss was quite difficult. Without four to five days, even ten days, which party could defeat this boss? After killing Rosian, they would definitely go to submit the quest and rush to the new 50 + map. Who would save the quest?
Thus, this hidden difficulty option was never triggered! It was not until later, when some high-level players came back to drag their friends who had just started playing and killed Rosian and the hidden boss in one go that they discovered this hidden S-Rank difficulty!
Aine only gave Zhang Yang this quest and did not teach him any new skills. From Level 50 onwards, there were fewer and fewer skills that could be learned from Class Instructors, especially those powerful and practical skills that appeared in the form of Skill Books.
To complete the Level 50 Class Quest, one must wait for the resources to be collected and the stronghold to enter the Poisonous Fire Land dungeon. Zhang Yang encouraged everyone in the guild to submit their resources while looking for candidates for the 20-person dungeon in the Poisonous Fire Land. He wanted to upgrade their equipment as soon as possible.
"Server Announcement: Player Buffalo 7 Up has opened a Military Supply Box and obtained a shiny silver equipment. He looked at it and saw that it was the Wyvern Leg Guards!"
Suddenly, the system sent a message in red. The Wyvern Leg Guards had a link attribute. With a click, the attributes of the equipment immediately jumped out.
[Wyvern Leg Guards] (Silver Equipment, Leather Armor)
Armor: + 12
Stamina: + 120
Strength: + 60
Agility: + 60
Equip: Increases Attack by 60 points.
Level Requirement: 50
The players who saw the attributes of the equipment were excited! Currently, only Death Mode dungeons dropped Silver equipment. The Wild Silver Bosses were basically reserved by the big guilds. Small guilds or non-guild players could not even think about getting their hands on them. However, the difficulty of Death Mode was there. For most players, death mode could only wait for them to surpass Level 20 or 30 before going back to grind it to satisfy their craving!
But who didn't want good equipment? In the past, there was no strong party and they could only look at other people's shiny equipment and drool. But now, they didn't even need to enter dungeons or fight for Bosses to get Silver equipment! This immediately ignited the enthusiasm of all the low-level players. They handed in resources, took the Military Supply Box, and fought for that pitiful winning rate!
The system was also very cooperative. As long as a player opened a Silver equipment, it would announce it through the loudspeaker! Although the winning rate was indeed very low, there were close to 200 million players in the world. Instantly, the World Channel went crazy. Every once in a while, there would be news of a certain player getting a Silver-grade item!
The power of a role model was limitless, especially when a lucky player obtained a Gold-grade equipment. Everyone's passion was ignited to the extreme! Even the officials of the big guilds could not hold back — Silver equipment was one thing, but Gold equipment … Even they did not have one!
In short, the enthusiasm of the players all over the world was completely ignited!
Not only was Dream Technology good at making games, but their marketing strategy was also brilliant! With that, a large number of resources were recycled by the system, which undoubtedly increased consumption. The game company would be making a lot of money!
Zhang Yang sighed for a while and then connected to Han Yingxue's voice call. "Snow Witch, are you having an affair with the higher-ups of Dream Technology? How did you get such a low chance of getting a Gold equipment?"
That's right. So far, the only lucky player who opened a Gold equipment from the Military Supply Box was Han Yingxue!
Han Yingxue giggled and said, "Yeah, I slept with someone for two nights! Sigh, you're really rude. You pinched my chest so hard that it still hurts! "
Zhang Yang could not help but think of Han Yingxue's towering twin peaks. Instantly, he felt his blood boil. He quickly thought to himself that this Snow Witch was very skilled! He said, "How high are your runes now?"
"Aiya, I almost forgot. Hurry up and give me another batch of 40 + Black Iron and Bronze equipment. I'm going to level up my runes and support my sister!"
Zhang Yang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He said, "Big sister, how many Black Iron and Bronze equipment have you taken from me in the past two days? My small business can't afford your extravagance! "
Han Yingxue was the only one in the party who switched to Runes. This was because this profession required constant dismantling of equipment to increase proficiency. It was very, very expensive! Normal players definitely could not afford it. Usually, a guild would provide for a Rune Master.
Naturally, Han Yingxue would not be courteous with Zhang Yang. In the past two days, she had taken equipment from the store to dismantle. In two days, she had spent at least 50,000 gold! Moreover, because of the introduction of the Runes profession, some of the previously undesirable equipment had been revived. After all, they were all the same after being dismantled. Their prices had skyrocketed, causing the purchase price of the store to rise as well!
Moreover, because the Runes profession had just been introduced, many people had gone to try out the new profession. As a result, the current lousy equipment had become priceless and hard to find!
Han Yingxue chuckled again and said, "Silly Yu, are you trying to sleep with me? You're so naughty! "
The word 'naughty' was really soul-stirring. It made people's blood boil and their bodies turn soft and hard!
Demon girl! Demon girl! Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Fine, fine, fine. You can continue to take equipment!"
"You should have said so earlier. You made me waste my energy to seduce you!" Han Yingxue choked and cut off the conversation with Zhang Yang.
Nurturing a Rune Master was something every guild had to do! Moreover, because of the huge investment required to nurture a Rune Master, the big guilds would carefully select their members. They did not want a Rune Master to jump ship to another guild the next day!
Han Yingxue's character was unquestionable. Moreover, Desert Dust was created by her and Wei Yan'er together. There was no way she would betray the guild. Moreover, this woman was definitely a billionaire. She only played the game to kill time. Using money to bribe her was not realistic!
Zhang Yang took out some bandages and medicinal ingredients. He ran to the expeditionary army's quartermaster to turn in his supplies and received 12 military supply boxes. When he opened them, he saw that there were only 12 Reputation Badges. This was not a scam. It was just a very normal situation. It was rare to get equipment! (To be continued.
