Be it the Elven King Dau 'er or the Great Demon King Naga, they were all first-rate NPCs. Many of them were famous figures in the history of Fate. The quests that were related to their fate were all Epic-tier quests, and they were all high-tier Epic-tier quests at that. It was impossible for a player to complete such quests at level 100.
Ye Ci and Fleeting Time continued to explore the Sacred Mountain of Zhuo Gu despite knowing that it would be impossible for them to complete the quest. They were only able to withstand the cold for a short period of time, but they realized that it would be suicide for them to venture into the Sacred Mountain of Zhuo Gu at their current level. Even the most common monsters in the Sacred Turbid Mountain were Elite mini-Bosses. Moreover, all of them were Level 150 or higher. Without a 100-man elite team, it would be impossible to reach the top of the mountain.
The two of them sneaked around and saw a huge snowman not far away. They watched it walk around as if there was no one around. It seemed to be very peaceful. Little did they know that it was this huge guy that almost took their lives. If it were not for the Yeti's Feign Death skill, the two would not have been able to observe their enemies so leisurely.
"Did you manage to break through its Defense?" Ye Ci was troubled by the fact that she was unable to break through the Yeti's defenses with her attacks. She knew that it was inevitable, but she was still unhappy about it. That was why she decided to ask Fleeting Time for advice.
Fleeting Time looked at Ye Ci's indignant expression and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. He decided to hide the fact that he was lucky enough to deal damage to the Yeti. He sighed, "There's no way I could have broken through its Defense. The level penalty is too high."
Ye Ci seemed to be satisfied with the answer. Her indignant expression disappeared as she bared her teeth at the Yeti, "A 40 level gap is indeed a little troublesome. If there's a 20 level gap, we might be able to do something about it."
In Fate, the highest level penalty was 20 levels. In other words, players who were within 20 levels of their opponent could still deal damage to their opponent. It was just a matter of how much damage was dealt. Players who were beyond 20 levels would only be able to deal zero damage to their opponent unless they were lucky enough to break through their opponent's defense. Fleeting Time did not refute Ye Ci's suggestion. He nodded with a smile, "Alright. We'll try again when we're above lvl130."
There was no point in staying here any longer. Despite her reluctance, Ye Ci could only suppress her displeasure and leave the map with Fleeting Time.
Fleeting Time received a private message from Absalom the moment they left the Sacred Mountain of Zhuo Gu. He stared at Ye Ci for a brief moment before hanging up. Ye Ci stood beside Fleeting Time with her arms crossed, "What's the matter?"
"The Guild Alliance of the Western Continent and the Golden Era Alliance are at war." Fleeting Time let out a sigh of relief. It was a troublesome matter. At least, it was a troublesome matter for Fleeting Time. The war between the two factions would take at least ten hours to end. Of course, time was not a problem. More importantly, players like him would have to return to their respective locations as soon as the war broke out.
Ye Ci nodded, and a frown appeared on her face, "Golden Era has been provoking the Guilds of other continents recently. Have they gotten stronger?"
"I think so. Fighting with Golden Era is the most damaging thing to do. They don't lack money or manpower. We'll have to take turns to fight them." Fleeting Time massaged his temples. He had been asked to participate in such battles many times over the past six months, and he was starting to feel bored. There was no skill involved in such battles. It was all about numbers and money. However, the Guild Alliance was very fond of such battles. Even the players were looking forward to such battles. There was a demon in everyone's heart. It was just a matter of whether it would wake up. If it did not wake up, then everyone would be safe. But if it did …
Ye Ci pursed her lips. Guild Up Everyday was one of the pioneers of the Guild Alliance. Every time the Guild Alliance of the Eastern and Southern Continents fought, Guild Up Everyday would run away.
Fleeting Time tugged at Ye Ci's clothes and sighed, "I'll be heading over first. The monsters in this area are quite high leveled. Be careful."
"Don't worry." Ye Ci bared her teeth at Fleeting Time, and gestured for him to leave with a wave of her hand. Fleeting Time cast a glance at Ye Ci, and disappeared in a flash of white light as he rubbed his recall stone on the ground.
Ye Ci felt that there was no need for her to stay any longer. She was too lazy to grind her levels, and decided to head to the arena to practice her skills. Ever since Fate announced that the PvP tournament would be held, the arena became even livelier than before. The tournament was meant to encourage participation by all players, and more than 50% of the total player population had signed up for the tournament. This made the arena and Guild Battles even more popular. After all, there were plenty of players like Ye Ci who wanted to practice their skills in these places.
However, the popular 5v5 mode in the arena was replaced by 1v1 and 2v2 modes. After all, it was a PvP tournament, and the most important thing was to train one's skills.
In Fate's chief developer's office.
Wang Jiangnan was sitting behind a desk with five monitors on it. He was typing furiously on the keyboard while looking up at the huge monitor on the wall. He was very busy. Due to his outstanding performance, he was officially promoted from acting chief developer to the main developer of Fate. He was now the true mastermind behind the game. However, as a chief planner, he was not as glamorous as others thought. Not only did he have to control the direction of the game development, but he also had to constantly adjust the update status of the game according to the feedback from the market. Other than that, there were many other miscellaneous things that he had never thought of when he was an ordinary planner.
Fortunately, after a period of frantic familiarization, Wang Jiangnan had gradually gotten into the groove of his job. He was becoming more and more competent at his current job. His achievements had also pleased Glory's big boss, Qiao Liang. He no longer restricted Wang Jiangnan's suggestions, and instead delegated more power and freedom to Wang Jiangnan. Wang Jiangnan was becoming more and more like his future identity, Father of Fate.
While Wang Jiangnan was busy with his work, someone knocked on his office door rhythmically. Judging from the habit and rhythm of the knocking, it was not difficult to guess who was knocking on the door.
"Come in." Wang Jiangnan said without even raising his head. Then, the office door opened, and a well-dressed man walked in. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked very gentle. He was holding a stack of reports in his hand as he walked to Wang Jiangnan's office assistant, "Mr. Wang, this month's market data is here."
Wang Jiangnan's hands were still flying across the keyboard. Unlike the man before him, Wang Jiangnan was not dressed in a suit. Instead, he was dressed very casually. He wore a t-shirt, jeans, and a work pass around his neck. His hands were messy due to how busy he was. He nodded and spoke in a muffled voice, "Shenwu went into open beta last month. Are their data here?"
"Yes. I've compiled a copy of Shenwu's data and a comparison with Fate's data. They're all here," he said as he handed over the report. Wang Jiangnan took the report and glanced at it before gesturing for the man to leave. He was Tang Nan, Qiao Liang's chief secretary, who was specially assigned to Wang Jiangnan by the head office. Although he was a man, he was meticulous in his work. He had the foresight and the rationality of a man. He was a rare talent. It was also because of his help that Wang Jiangnan was able to get Du Yu's job so quickly.
The report was very detailed, and Wang Jiangnan did not have to think too much to find the information he needed. He skimmed through the report and compared it with the chart on the report. He was looking at the impact of Shenwu's open beta on Fate. No matter how good Fate was at the moment, it was still an old game that had been in open beta for three years. Even though Qiao Liang had made many attempts to poach players, it was inevitable that Fate's player count would be affected after Shenwu, a new game that was comparable to Fate, went into open beta. This was evident from the drop in player count in the previous month's report. However, Wang Jiangnan did not show any signs of discouragement or frustration. He continued to flip through the report.
The report at the end was even more detailed. Tang Nan even included the number of players entering the game, the number of players leaving Fate, and the number of new players joining the game after Shenwu's open beta. Wang Jiangnan was very impressed by Tang Nan's ability. One must know that the data of Shenwu's players was confidential. Where did Tang Nan get his hands on it?
Tang Nan had analyzed the data and made notes on the data that required special attention. At the conclusion of the report, Wang Jiangnan saw a paragraph written by Tang Nan, "In conclusion, even though Shenwu's open beta has affected Fate to a certain extent, the number of new players joining Fate is also increasing. This shows that the loss of players is only temporary. The focus of our work is to recall the old players and nurture the new players. What's more important is that Golden Era has control over 30% of the game's economy. If they were to leave the game en masse in the near future, we would not know if Fate would be able to withstand the risk.
