Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The maps in Fate were mainly made up of five continents. The five continents were the North, South, East, West and Central Continents. No players were born in the Central Continent, and there was a level restriction for players to enter the continent. The other four continents did not have a level restriction, and players could choose their own continent from the moment they were born.
At this stage, there weren't any unique races on the four continents. Players could choose a variety of races on each continent. Moreover, the distribution of maps on the four continents was the same. The situations on the maps were similar. Although the dungeons were different, there wasn't much difference in difficulty. Therefore, it didn't matter which map players chose when they entered the game. The most important thing was the situation after entering the map.
The North, South, East and West continents were in a cooperative relationship, so they were friendly players. However, they were enemies with each other. Theoretically speaking, players before they reached level 60 would only be active in the continent they were born in, and would mainly engage in PVE (versus the computer). After reaching level 60, players would be able to travel to the Central Continent, and PVP (versus other players) would gradually become more common.
Of course, this was only in theory. In reality, Fate had never restricted players from any continent from venturing to other continents. Regardless of whether a player was from an ally or an enemy continent, as long as they were able to return, the system would not restrict them at all.
Not only that, Hidden Quests were one of the highlights of Fate's quest system. If a player could complete a Hidden Quest, they might even be able to unlock a hidden passage to a city from an enemy continent, opening the door to an enemy continent. The difficulty of the Hidden Quest was directly related to the difficulty of opening a city from an enemy continent. In other words, if a player could complete a Hidden Quest of the highest difficulty, they might be able to unlock a passage to the capital of an enemy continent.
That was not the worst of it. If a city was conquered by an enemy continent, it would only affect the economy and traffic of the city. As long as the players in the city did more Daily Quests, the city would be able to recover its former prosperity very quickly. More importantly, if a city from an enemy continent was conquered, it would bring about an unimaginable impact to the entire continent.
First of all, all the NPCs on the continent would become depressed. Furthermore, NPCs that were killed would never respawn. In other words, if you happened to accept a quest from an NPC and he was killed, you would never be able to complete the quest. In Fate, the punishment for failing to complete a quest was rather severe. A light punishment would affect the emotions of other NPCs, while a heavy punishment would result in the player being ostracized by the city. Therefore, this was a very deceptive setting.
Secondly, after the capital was occupied, the entire continent's economic situation would be affected. In other words, the rewards players could obtain from doing quests would be significantly reduced, and the items sold in shops would be much more expensive. Even worse, many common items would no longer be sold. This situation could only be resolved after the morale of the entire continent's NPCs recovered.
How long would it take for the NPCs' morale to recover? Only ghosts would know.
Finally, the most frustrating setting was that the drop rate for items in dungeons and in the wild would be reduced by half. Where did that half go? System recycling? No. Instead, it was directly allocated to the continent of the victorious side by the system. In other words, no matter how good you are, no matter how hard you try, you will only be benefiting others.
Of course, there were many other disadvantages, but the officials did not explain them in detail. They were only left to the players to experience.
But with these three incomparably ridiculous settings, would any player be willing to experience the pain of having their capital occupied? I don't think so. Not today, not tomorrow, and not in the future!
Therefore, after Sir Ditty issued the first warning, every player in the Eastern Continent, regardless of what they were doing, whether they had just entered a dungeon or whether they were level 20 or above, swarmed towards Champion City like a swarm of bees. In an instant, the pressure on the servers of Champion City increased tremendously.
Ye Ci was no exception. Throughout history, one could only have a home if one had a country. Without a master, how could there be a master? Although Fate provided a service that allowed players to become citizens of other continents, it was unlikely that any player would do so unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, the hardship of starting from scratch was not something that anyone could bear.
Ye Ci pondered as she rode on The Fourth Prince towards the peak of the Sharp Peak. The Western Continent must have completed an SSS-tier PVP Hidden Quest. How else would they be able to enter Champion City through the underground passage? The only thing that was surprising was how they managed to complete such a high-level PVP Hidden Quest. Not to mention how difficult it was to find this quest, even the process of completing it would be quite difficult.
Apart from these, the most terrifying thing was, how did they manage to hide such a secret mission that required so much manpower, material, and financial resources? Be it the officials, the forums, or the reporters, none of them had leaked any information about the Eastern Continent. This level of secrecy was just too terrifying. Compared to the Eastern Continent, it seemed that the Eastern Continent was not as good as it was supposed to be.
There was an NPC at the peak of the Sharp Peak. It was a child. He did not have any other skills, but he knew how to make kites. As long as one paid a certain amount of money, he or she would be able to lead the player to any map in the vicinity.
Champion City was not far from the Mausoleum of Blades. There were many ravines in the area. If one wanted to reach Champion City as quickly as possible, finding this NPC called Lily would be the best way. But climbing the Sharp Peak was troublesome. If not for the Three-headed Cat's Claw and her excellent balance, it would have been impossible for Ye Ci to reach the peak from the foot of the Sharp Peak.
Fortunately, Ye Ci was a reincarnated player. Although she was not familiar with the map, she was not unfamiliar with it. It did not take long for her to find the most convenient path to reach the peak of the Sharp Peak. There was a little girl sitting at the peak. Behind her was a small wooden hut, and in front of her was a bonfire. Lily sat on a rock beside the bonfire with a huge kite flying beside her.
Ye Ci greeted the little girl. She raised her head and smiled at Ye Ci, "Hey, big guy. You're so tall."
That's right, Lily was a Gnome. Gnomes had always been the race that excelled in engineering. Hence, the machines they created were usually very advanced.
"Hello, Lily. I'd like to go to Champion City."
"No problem, 100 gold coins." Lily looked like she had something to discuss, but the price wasn't cheap.
After paying 100 gold coins, Ye Ci glided away with her kite in the blink of an eye. Frankly speaking, if not for the cold weather on the kite, it would have been a great place to enjoy the scenery. Ye Ci felt like she was about to be frozen stiff by the biting cold wind. She had no choice but to take out a bottle of anti-stiffness potion from her inventory and drink it. Only then did she feel like she could move her limbs.
It did not take long for Ye Ci to arrive at Champion City with the help of a kite.
Champion City was indeed the largest city in the Eastern Continent, the capital city. Its surface area alone took up more than half of the entire map. Looking down from above, Champion City was a scene of prosperity. Beautiful buildings could be seen everywhere. If this was any other day, one would definitely be impressed. But now, Ye Ci could only see a dense crowd.
Ye Ci opened up the game configuration and selected the PVP configuration. She then looked at Champion City and immediately saw countless players glowing in red and green. This was a reminder to the players that the red glowing players were from the opposing continent, while the green glowing players were from the same continent. This configuration would allow players to see the distribution of enemies in a single glance.
Seeing that Champion City was only a short distance away, Ye Ci did not hesitate to take out the few remaining Black Iron Bombs from the corner of her inventory. These bombs were very effective against the Tang dynasty. Ye Ci hoped that they would be more effective today. After all, the number of players in Champion City today was much higher than the number of players in the Tang dynasty.
Ye Ci pulled a fuse and threw it at the area with the highest number of red lights as she flew past Champion City. Moments later, sparks flew in all directions. A deafening explosion accompanied Ye Ci's kill glory.
This was what it meant to be a true kill glory! Ye Ci was very satisfied. She quickly took out another Black Iron Bomb and threw it towards the area with the most red glowing players before she landed. The result was very satisfying.
Ye Ci's two bombs were truly a surprise attack. At a time when most players were only lvl 30, they did not know that the flying system would be available in the future. Therefore, no one paid attention to what was happening above their heads. Ye Ci's arrival on a kite and throwing two heavy weapons at the enemy caused the entire scene to become even more chaotic.
On top of that, the bombs would not only reap a lot of lives, they would also create a large crater in the ground. The streets in the city were not like the wilderness. Ye Ci's two bomb craters had cut off the road. The players on both sides of the crater were unable to pass through, and the situation became even more chaotic.
In the Western Continent's command channel, Absalom was shouting, "What's going on?! How did so many people die in an instant?! What's going on with the Western and Southern Defensive Lines?! Wasn't the Defensive Lines in good condition earlier? Xinhua Dictionary, Wenshan! What's going on over there?! " If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
