"Level up by 5!"
"Idiot Warrior, doesn't that mean you're Level 60?"
"What's an Indiscriminate Skill Book?"
Zhang Yang asked in the party channel, so Han Yingxue and the others all called out to him. He explained the Indiscriminate Skill Book's characteristics, and everyone in the party couldn't help but feel envious. Being able to tame wild beasts meant that Zhang Yang had half of a Hunter's strength!
"Warrior, go back first. I'll personally reward you in the future!" Serena smiled at Zhang Yang, her eyes filled with warmth.
"Ding! You've obtained Princess Serena's favor! "
Zhang Yang was surprised. Favor was different from Reputation. Only NPCs with high AI would have "favor". Even though he didn't know what it was used for, it definitely wasn't a bad thing to be able to obtain the favor of a princess!
Since the quest was completed, there was no need to stay here any longer! Zhang Yang gave an adventurer's salute and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Warrior asks to be excused!"
After leaving the palace, he saw that Desert Dust's players were all gathered in the plaza outside. There were over ten thousand of them, and when they saw Zhang Yang come out, they all raised their weapons and cheered! It had to be known that they had fought against the entire China server as a guild. In the end, they successfully helped Zhang Yang complete the quest. Everyone's hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment and excitement!
Zhang Yang also took out his battle axe and said, "From now on, we will declare war on the Tyrant, Pride, and Axe Gang. We won't rest until we chase them out of Baiyu City!"
"We won't rest!"
Hundred Shots One High, Unlimited Starlight, and the others all led their teams out. They organized Desert Dust's players into hundred-man teams and began to hunt down the members of the Tyrant and the other two guilds! The pitiful Modest Gentleman was still locked up in prison. It wasn't until he went offline for dinner that he received a call and found out about the situation. At this time, because most of the Tyrant's members were locked up in prison, they were like a group of dragons without a leader. How could they fight against the furious Desert Dust? They were killed to the point that they didn't dare to revive and directly went offline!
Many players couldn't handle the pressure. After a day and night of hunting, they chose to leave the guild.
Modest Gentleman immediately panicked. In order to come out earlier to take charge of the situation, he didn't go offline to rest and stayed in prison. Even so, by the time he was "released" the next afternoon, the Tyrant Guild had lost at least a tenth of its players.
But Desert Dust didn't let up on his attacks. Enraged Beauty, Ling Tian, and the other super teams took advantage of the situation and joined in the killing.
In the short span of five days, the Tyrant and the other two guilds were in dire straits. All of them holed up in their main cities, not daring to go out. Every day, a large number of players could not withstand the pressure and chose to leave their guilds! The modest gentleman had no choice but to swallow his pride and apologize to Zhang Yang personally.
Zhang Yang said that if Modest Gentleman could kneel in front of the auction house for a day and a night, he would stop.
This was originally just a humiliation, and a gentleman would definitely not accept it. However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Modest Gentleman was shameless to the extreme. He actually knelt in front of the auction house for an entire day!
Zhang Yang was not the kind of person who would go back on his word. Although he despised the character of a modest gentleman, he still temporarily withdrew his troops. However, after this battle, the Tyrant Guild's reputation was greatly damaged. Many players felt that this guild's backbone was not upright and had no future. It caused another wave of guild withdrawals, losing a large number of elite players!
After this blow, the Tyrant Guild's strength fell sharply. They had already fallen out of the ranks of the top guilds in White Jade City. Although their foundation was still there, it was obvious that they were in decline. Their reputation was even worse.
On the other hand, Proud World and the Axe Gang were a bit more stubborn. Even if they couldn't fight, couldn't they just hide? The two guilds moved to Wild Willow City and Crimson Sun City respectively, not daring to face Desert Dust head-on.
In an instant, the forums were filled with debates!
Some said that these three guilds deserved it. Who told them to guard the corpses of Desert Dust's people and kill them over and over again? Why didn't they complain when they were killing to their heart's content?
Some said that Desert Dust was too domineering. There was always conflict and competition between guilds, so it was normal for there to be some friction. However, forcing the other guilds to leave the main cities was a bit too much!
But even more people recognized Desert Dust's strength. He had actually forced the veteran in-game guild, the Tyrant Guild, to the point of almost disbanding. He had the momentum of a new generation of guilds!
Domineering!
Hundred Splatters High School held the title of "Desert Dust's External Liaison Manager". In the past few days, who knew how many companies had come to sponsor them. Han Yingxue happily praised her foresight.
Zhang Yang had leveled up five times in a row. His level had already surpassed Han Yingxue's, and he had become the number one player in the China server! After equipping a Level 60 Gold-grade equipment set, Raging Flames Ring, and Magic Barrier, all of his stats had increased by leaps and bounds!
HP: 24090, Strength: 730, Armor: 1000, Damage absorbed: 988, Attack: (1938-2138) * 1.05%.
The new skill he learned at Level 60 was Beheading.
[Beheading]: Attempts to execute a target. Can only be used on targets with less than 20% HP. Requires 20 Rage to activate. Deals 100% of melee physical damage to the target. Every additional Rage point is converted into an additional 3% damage. This damage ignores the target's armor and cannot be dodged or blocked. Requires: Melee Weapon. Consumption: All Rage points. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
If this skill was activated with 100 Rage points, it would deal 340% melee damage. The attack power was quite terrifying! However, if it was used to deal damage to bosses, the cost-effectiveness was not very high. This was because a slash with 20 Rage was equivalent to a powerful attack. If it was a slash with full Rage, each Rage point would only deal 3.4% melee damage. It was far from comparable to the 10% Rage points of Swipe or the 8% Rage usage of Whirlwind Slash (Level 10)!
If it was used against players, the target's HP could only be killed when the target's HP was below 20%. Currently, non-tankers only had 8000 HP. At 20%, they would only have 1600 HP. If it was any other skill, it would still be enough to kill them! Only in the later stages of the game, when the player's HP increase exceeded the damage increase, would Beheading be able to have a decisive effect!
Of course, other skills were all on cooldown. This was a good way to fill in the gaps. Ignoring defense, being unable to dodge, and blocking were also good points. However, for Zhang Yang, who had Eagle Eyes, this was useless!
However, the Tanker boss was constantly taking damage, so he did not have to worry about not having enough Rage points. This skill also ignored armor, so it could increase the damage dealt by Fighters with poor equipment, making it easier for them to pull the boss.
These few days, Zhang Yang had been leveling up with the Golden-eared Bear King. Pets required much less experience to level up than players. In addition, Zhang Yang was also pulling groups of monsters to kill. The Great Pyrenees Bear leveled up very quickly, finally catching up to Zhang Yang and reaching Level 60.
The Great Pyrenees Bear did not learn any skills, but Zhang Yang bought two Pet Skill Books from the auction house. As the name suggested, they were for pets to learn. Originally, Mount pets could not learn Pet Skill Books. However, after Zhang Yang learned "Beast Taming", the Great Pyrenees Bear became a battle mount and pet.
[Body of Ice] (Passive): When receiving frost attacks, damage is reduced by 90%.
[Wild Recovery]: Every second, 10 Focus points will be converted to 5% HP. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
[Wild Recovery] was relatively common, and it only cost Zhang Yang 20 gold coins. However, [Body of Ice] was extremely expensive, and it cost him 20,000 gold coins before he finally bought it. However, after seeing the effects of this skill, Zhang Yang felt that the money was well spent!
After the Golden-eared Bear King reached Level 60, its attributes became even more amazing. The biggest difference between a pet and a player was that it did not rely on equipment. As long as it leveled up, its attributes would increase, matching its grade!
[Golden-eared Bear King] (Gold Rank Battle Mount)
Level: 60
Health Points: 16800
Armor Points: 1200
Attack Power: 3692-3892 (Attack Interval: 3 seconds, Damage per second: 1,264)
After Zhang Yang obtained the [Beast Taming] skill, the Golden-Eared Bear King also obtained the [Armor] attribute. This could only be used when not mounted, and its [Armor] attribute was even higher than Zhang Yang's [Hide]! In terms of the basic damage of a single attack, the Great Pyrenees Bear King far exceeded Zhang Yang's.
Now, the Golden-eared Bear King was divided into two states. When mounted, it could only use Life Sharing, Brutal Charge, and Claw Attack. When in its pet form, it could use Brutal Charge, Claw Attack, and Wild Recovery. The [Body of Ice] could only be used in its pet form.
It was already the 24th of October, and mainstream players had all crossed the Level 50 line. Zhang Yang's stock of Tough Iron Ingots had already been sold out. On average, each Tough Iron Ingot was sold for around 13 gold coins. 17,000 sets of Tough Iron Ingots were sold for a total of 44.2 million gold coins. With the current exchange rate of 1: 3, he had cashed out a total of 130 million gold coins, far exceeding his final estimate of 50 million gold coins!
The Fire Resistance Potions were also selling like hotcakes. There was definitely not enough supply to meet the demand. This made Zhang Yang feel very awkward. If he put his energy into making potions, his level lead would gradually shrink. If he continued to level up, it would be equivalent to throwing a lot of money into the gutter!
It would be best if he could find a Life Type player and let him specialize in making potions! However, could he find such a person that he could absolutely trust? One had to know that every time Zhang Yang spent a lot of effort to obtain a recipe, he could make a lot of money. In the face of huge profits, it was really difficult to guess a person's heart.
Zhang Yang could absolutely trust Fatty Han. However, to make this fatty rub potions all day long … That guy definitely did not have that much patience!
Zhang Yang thought for a long time. Suddenly, he had an idea and went offline to make a phone call.
"Hello —" Yu Li's voice carried a hint of fatigue.
"I'm Zhang Yang. How's auntie's health?"
"Yes, she's moved to the best ward now. Her kidney has also been secured. The doctor said that in another week, she can have the surgery!" Yu Li said with some excitement. Then, she smiled lightly and said, "You finally thought of asking me to serve you in bed?"
Zhang Yang sweated and said, "I thought of a good idea to let you have the ability to repay the debt you owe me!"
"Hmm?"
"I plan to hire you as my professional Potion Master. In the future, you will specialize in making potions for me in the game. I will give you … a salary of 60 thousand gold coins every month. This way, you will be able to repay my debt in 5 years and still have some savings!"
"Zhang Yang, I said that I don't want to owe you a favor …"
"Are you stupid? Did you forget that you helped me sell potions in the past? In the future, there will be similar potions for sale. However, I don't have that much free time. That's why I thought of making you do hard labor. Do you understand? I can earn tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. You can only get a fraction. I'm the one exploiting you! "
"… Zhang Yang, thank you!" Yu Li suddenly said after a moment of silence. She naturally understood that Zhang Yang did not look for anyone else but her. In fact, it was just an excuse to help her.
"When auntie's body gets better, you can return to the game. I'll help you train your Alchemy skills. You can also come to Baiyu City, so that I don't have to send materials back and forth!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a problem was solved.
Every day, he would rub potions and level up. As for the Fire Poison Land and Centaur Palace, Zhang Yang had already given the task of being the main tank to Infinite Starlight. This guy had a lot of potential. After these few days of training, he had already demonstrated the qualities and strength of an outstanding tank.
After reaching Level 60, the time it took to level up increased to eight days. Zhang Yang still had to rub potions, so he only leveled up once on the first day of November. Currently, the top ten players on the China server Level Leaderboards were:
1. Defender, Fighter, Level 61
2. Sweet Snow, Holy Priest, Level 57
3. Frosty Night, Assassin Thief, Level 57
4. Slim Pretty Man, Beastmaster Hunter, Level 57
5. Sui Yan 'er, Berserker, Level 56
6. Daffodil, Fire Mage, Level 56
7. One Hundred Shots, Beastmaster Hunter, Level 56
8. Overwhelming Sword (Fighter), Level 55
9. Endless Starlight, Guardian Knight, Level 55
10. Hidden Fragrance, Battle Thief, Level 54
In the top ten, there were actually three tanks and one healer! This caused all the players to be dumbfounded! Weren't Mages always the kings of leveling? When did tanks become so good at leveling?
At 9 AM, Zhang Yang had just logged into the game when he heard the melodious female voice of the system say, "The Undead Battlefield has been opened. You can go to the city's transfer point and choose to enter!"
The Undead Battlefield, as the name suggested, was naturally a battlefield filled with undead. It was similar to a dungeon. Although it was filled with Elite monsters, they were far easier to deal with than dungeons or in the wild. Although the experience they gave was slightly less, it was still much better than ordinary monsters!
These Elite monsters didn't drop coins, cloth, equipment, or other items. However, there was a certain chance of obtaining various essences and rune blueprints from their bodies! Players of different levels could only enter the Undead Battlefield of the corresponding level. Starting from Level 10, every 10 levels was a stage.
In the Level 10, 20, and 30 Undead Battlefield, Elite monsters had a 1% chance of dropping Rank 1 Black Iron Essence and a 0.1% chance of dropping Rank 1 Bronze Essence. Bosses had a 1% chance of dropping Rank 1 Bronze Essence and a 0.1% chance of dropping Rank 1 Silver Essence.
In the Level 40, 50, and 60 Undead Battlefield, Elite monsters had a 1% chance of dropping Rank 2 Bronze Essence and a 0.1% chance of dropping Rank 2 Silver Essence. Bosses had a 1% chance of dropping Rank 2 Silver Essence and a 0.1% chance of dropping Rank 2 Gold Essence.
At the current stage of the game, only Bronze-grade equipment could be found. No one would be willing to disassemble Level 40 and above Silver-grade equipment. Without the materials, they would not be able to create Rune Stones. This was equivalent to wasting this newly introduced profession!
Therefore, the game company launched the Undead Battlefield at the right time. In the first three days of every month, every player would have a chance to enter after paying 30 gold coins. However, the time limit was only three hours! The number of times could not be stacked. Not entering in a month was equivalent to giving up.
For the game company, regardless of whether it was the various essences or Rune Stones, they couldn't be sold in shops. Therefore, opening such a battlefield would not cause a flood of gold coins and lead to inflation. Instead, they could charge 30 gold coins per person to stabilize the value of the gold coins.
Runemasters also didn't have to worry too much about the source of the essences. Although the essences produced by the Undead Battlefield were far from meeting the needs of the market, at least they could solve the urgent problem and not let this new profession become a decoration!
