Once the War Chariot system was introduced, it naturally led to a wave of purchases by the major guilds. Even though many guilds were not as rich as Zhang Yang, they still had to buy one or two as a deterrent. This was because a Type IV War Chariot's Life Points even surpassed an S-Grade Legacy player's. Naturally, it became the major guilds' trump card.
Moreover, War Chariots usually existed in the form of models, just like how mounts were summoned by the reins. No one knew how many War Chariots each guild had until the very last moment.
Even the Type I War Chariot was sold for as high as 100,000 gold coins. In just one day, the system had earned a lot of money. However, even though everyone knew this, they could only bite the bullet. There was no other way. You don't have a War Chariot, I have a War Chariot. If they fought, they would have an additional Legacy player. They could not afford to hurt him.
The first thing Wei Yan'er did was to drag Zhang Yang to the Battlefield Quartermaster and get him to buy 10 D-Grade armor-type protective plates for the War Chariot.
She said with conviction, "The War Chariot is for everyone. Of course, I can't be the only one paying for it!"
Although the War Chariot was bound to the player who bought or picked it up, the protective plates were not bound and could be traded freely. However, this was meaningless as only NPCs could sell them. This unbound method only allowed others to buy them.
Moreover, once the protective plates were installed on the War Chariot, they could not be removed and could only be replaced with a new protective plate. However, the replacement protective plate would automatically be destroyed and could not be used again. Moreover, a D-Grade protective plate was sold for as much as 2,000 gold coins. This also limited the type of protective plate that players could not change at will.
For example, if they encountered a physical-attack type Boss, they would use an armor-type protective plate. If they encountered a magic-type Boss, they would use the corresponding magic-type protective plate. The cost of switching was too high. It was better to buy six War Chariots in one go and stick six different types of protective plates on them.
After the protective plates were installed, Wei Yan 'er could not help but ask everyone to run to Sauron Castle. She said that she wanted to test the power of the War Chariot.
Everyone was also curious and gathered at Sauron Castle. At the entrance of the castle, Wei Yan'er took out the War Chariot model and summoned it. After a black light flashed, a War Chariot that looked like an armored vehicle appeared in front of her. The top was open, and players could jump down from it at any time. Of course, this was mainly to make it convenient for players to deal damage.
Everyone got on the bus, but before they boarded it, they automatically sent Wei Yan'er a request to board the bus. Only after the request was approved could they continue to board the bus. Otherwise, they would be turned away.
"Wah, Little Sister Yan 'er, why didn't you let Fat Bro in the car?" Other than Fatty Han and Infinite Starlight, everyone else got on the car. Fatty Han looked at the little girl with tears streaming down his face.
"Gegege!" Wei Yan'er burst into laughter and said, "Wretched Fatty, Little Starlight, your behavior is not in line with the norms of civilized citizens. So, I refuse to let you board the train!"
Although that was what they said, under Fatty Han and Unlimited Starlight's flattery of 'Sister Yan'Er is the prettiest' and 'Sister Yan'Er is the most gentle', the two of them were allowed to board the bus.
"Charge! Let's kill monsters!" Wei Yan'er stood at the front of the chariot, raised her scythe, and shouted loudly. Her imposing manner was like that of a general. The chariot was controlled by its owner, just like a mount.
Rumble! The chariot rolled over the ground and made a loud noise, attracting many people to stop and watch.
One had to know that this chariot was not cheap, and ordinary people could not afford it. Seeing the little girl's chariot, many people showed looks of envy.
However, the speed of the tank's movement was truly unflattering. It was only slightly faster than the players' "walking" speed, and the excitement that the players had been suppressing for a long time instantly turned into depression. All of them sat on the tank listlessly.
Wei Yan'er smiled awkwardly and hurriedly put the chariot away. Everyone rode their flying mounts to Siloya, planning to settle down there and kill monsters and do quests.
Because of the influence of the Golden Roth Sword, everyone decided to clear the quests on the map as much as possible. There might be similar settings. This was because Sky Sage Bosses did not just sit quietly in a corner and wait for players to kill them. Instead, they would be spawned by the system after a certain time. Therefore, before the boss appeared, no one knew what kind of overpowered skills the boss would have.
When they came to a small valley, it was full of Wild Wolf monsters. They were Level 190-195 normal monsters. There were many of them, but they were not clustered together, so it was impossible to kill them all.
As they were mainly here to test out the chariot, Wei Yan'er once again summoned the chariot. After everyone boarded it, they rushed into the wolf's den in high spirits.
"Awooo —" A Wild Wolf howled and pounced at the chariot. Whoosh! It swung its claws and hit the chariot's armor plate. A string of sparks flashed, and a damage value jumped up above everyone's head. The damage value ranged from 5,000 to 2,000.
However, Zhang Yang, who had the highest defense, lost the most HP. The damage value of more than 5,000 jumped up from his body!
This was because on the chariot, the defense value was calculated by the chariot itself. The Wild Wolf's base attack was around 56000. After the armor plate's 20,000 points, the actual damage dealt was 36000. This damage was split among the 10 people on the chariot.
However, this was not divided by 10 to deduct 3,600 HP from each person. This was to ensure that the people on the chariot would "live and die together". Therefore, the deduction of HP was also based on percentage, ensuring that everyone's HP would drop to 99%, 90%, or 70%!
As Zhang Yang's remaining HP was the highest, based on percentage, he would also share the most damage. On the chariot, the players' own defense did not play a role. Otherwise, with the double defense, most of the players would not have suffered any damage at all!
High-end equipment had the special effect of absorbing damage. For example, even if Sun Xinyu and the others did not have shields, the damage absorption value would still reach about 10,000. If they could double defense, that meant that if a single damage value was less than 120,000, it would not be able to cause any damage to any of them!
This was obviously impossible!
The chariot only made the players' HP a little stronger. It did not make the players invincible!
Following that, everyone on the chariot attacked one after another. After a round of attacks, the Wild Wolf was blown up.
However, because the chariot's movement speed was extremely slow, it was not a good idea to use this thing to train! Of course, they could also let ten people act separately, pull the monster near the chariot, and then kill it in one go.
After a while, everyone became impatient with the chariot's slow speed and jumped down one after another.
However, there was a very big drawback of the chariot. Just like a Battle Mount, there were many skills that could not be used on it. For example, Stealth, Vanish, Feigned Death, Thunderous Strike, and so on. Because in the monsters' aggro list, there was only one unit, the chariot. The players were like the weapons on it. It was impossible to ignore the unit just because a Hunter had Feigned Death!
That was why chariots were only useful when fighting against BOSSes or large-scale group battles.
Wei Yan'er was instantly depressed. After putting away the chariot, she pouted her small mouth and sulked.
Because of the introduction of the chariot system, there were frequent national wars, group PvP, and territorial disputes in the past two days. The side with more chariots had an obvious advantage, so the major guilds had no choice but to increase their investment in this area.
The number of chariots and the number of players who could transform were now determined by these two things.
Because of this, many guilds that were originally not very strong but had exceptionally rich guild leaders were given the opportunity to reshuffle the cards. However, the chariot could only be used at Level 180. Even if many guilds bought one, they could only stare at it in their backpacks.
Another month later, the game ushered in a craze to reach Level 180. More and more players crossed this level, causing a large-scale war to break out. Many guilds that were unwilling to give up began to erupt.
Not only was the Crimson Flame Guild strong, but Zhong Xiuhua was also not lacking in money. When the number of Level 180 players in his guild reached a certain number, he brazenly launched a territorial war against Sauron Castle.
In this battle, the Crimson Flame Guild mobilized a total of 13 Type IV Chariots. It was not that Zhong Xiuhua only bought that many, but there were only 500 players who had reached Level 180, so only 13 Type IV Chariots could be filled.
Faced with the menacing Crimson Flame Guild, Zhang Yang naturally did not fear them. They mobilized 15 Type IV Chariots (also because they did not have enough players who had reached Level 180), and both sides engaged in a fierce battle.
28 Type IV Chariots were equivalent to 28 S-rank legacy players who had activated their transformations. However, just like S-rank legacy players, there was a difference in strength, and the chariots were no exception! Although everyone's defense was D-rank and there was no difference, the "HP" and "Attack" of the chariots were supported by the players on them!
One side had Illusionary Spirit Equipments, the other side had Earth Saint Equipments, so after accumulating to a scale of 50 people, the difference would only grow larger and larger!
Guild Crimson Flame's chariot had an average of 25,000,000 HP, but Desert Dust's chariot had 30,000,000 HP. In terms of firepower, the difference was also very large!
This was obvious. Desert Dust had already taken down the first six bosses of the Undead Continent. Although not every team had this kind of progress, reaching 210 or 310 wasn't a problem!
On the other hand, even the first team of Guild Crimson Flame had only reached 410. In terms of the strength of their core players, they were far inferior to Desert Dust. Not only were there fewer pioneering teams, their average progress was even slower. Only three teams had taken down the first boss!
The equipment accumulation of the two sides was simply not on the same level!
In this battle, Guild Crimson Flame was completely defeated! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
