It was raining heavily during the Qingming Festival.
This was one of the four traditional festivals in Chidragon over the years.
Visiting graves, offering sacrifices, and cherishing the memory of their ancestors were what the people of Chidragon had to do during this festival.
In the morning, compared to the other two regions, the number of players in Beiqi had decreased significantly. Most of them had gone out to worship their ancestors or go for an outing.
In the afternoon, after the players returned from worshipping their ancestors, Lu Wu released the announcement for the Qingming Festival.
[Game Notification: Qingming Festival "Lonely Grave Sacrifice" Trailer]:
Description: Between 8 PM and 12 PM, the lonely graves of the warriors who have passed away in the river of history will be refreshed all over Beiqi. Players can use an unlimited number of tributes to sweep the lonely graves during the mission period. Once the sacrifice is completed, they will receive the mission item "Lonely Soul's Gift".
(Note: The same lonely grave can only be swept once. Each lonely grave can only be swept by 1000 players at most. Once the limit is reached, the lonely grave will disappear.)
Reward:
Lonely Soul's Gift x1 can be exchanged for 20 soul coins.
Lonely Soul's Gift x5 can be exchanged for a Level 100 Blue Equipment (optional).
Lonely Soul's Gift x20 can be exchanged for a Level 100 Purple Equipment (optional).
Lonely Soul's Gift x50 can be exchanged for five Level 3 Spirit-Cleansing Pills (each pill can permanently increase endurance by 8 points).
Lonely Soul's Gift x100 can be exchanged for the special title "Wandering Comforter" (10 free teleportations per day).
Special Reward:??? (Need to explore during the mission)
Battle Online's activities always filled the players with anticipation.
The players were very excited when they saw the announcement for the Qingming Festival because the stingy Evildoer Group was going to bleed again.
Lu Wu had also meticulously prepared for this event. It was not as simple as using artifacts to simulate the scene like in the past.
For this event, Lu Wu had spent a total of nearly ten million soul coins. With the help of Bei Li, he had materialized all the famous graves of the heroic spirits in Beiqi since ancient times. Lu Wu had also temporarily released the many heroic spirits in the Hall of Heroic Spirits.
In other words, this was a real grave-sweeping event and not a fake mission.
The so-called special reward was also related to the heroic spirits that had passed away for a long time. However, it was still up to the players to obtain the opportunity.
Although the game developers did not say what the special reward was, the players were still full of anticipation. After all, the game developers had never disappointed them, except on April Fool's Day.
However, while the Beiqi players were discussing the event, the players from the European server and Naraka server could no longer sit still. One after another, they flooded the official website of the local server.
Forum:
Star Universe (Europe): "I strongly protest. Why does the original server always organize events? Can't we compete happily? The Evildoer Group is too biased. I strongly request that the European server also have this event. No, I want to make up for the previous events!"
Jason (Europe): "Protest + 1. Isn't my European server their biological child?" Start the event! Send me the rewards!
Reinhardt (Europe): "It's a fair competition. The original server is already so strong, and they're still organizing events!" Please weaken the attributes of the local server players and strengthen the attributes of the European server players!
Seer (Hell): That's enough. The players of the Great Naraka server are in dire straits. Please move around and strengthen yourselves!
Prince Charming 123 (NA): "You two servers sure are taking it easy, but our NA server is playing Survival Through Doomsday. I've died almost 100 times since the server opened. This game's difficulty is driving me crazy. Please strengthen the NA players!" "Weaken the European server and the original server!"
Crayon _ Shinchan: "Look, a group of flustered and exasperated foreign server players are protesting. You're right, the original server is the real son. (laughing emoji)"
Xueli _ The _ Strongest: "That's enough, you guys. You don't even know what the Qingming Festival is and you still want to organize an event. Stop it, or else we won't be merciful during the next server war. (laughing emoji)"
Watermelon _ Taro: "Stop crying. Let's talk about the European server first. With the Evil King, the boss of the Ghost Emperor Realm, taking care of them, life is very comfortable. However, our Beiqi doesn't even have a Ghost Emperor Realm expert. Are we crying? (laughing emoji)" Let's talk about the Naraka server. Your server is a combination of many states. Let's not talk about the large number of people. Don't you know how advantageous your growth system is in the early stages? Our Beiqi server is not so comfortable when it opens. As for the difference in strength that you guys mentioned, who can we blame for having so many cheats in our server? This is our own strength, okay? (self-righteous emoji) It has nothing to do with the officials. So, finally, I want to say that the Genius Group is asking for the Beiqi players' attributes to be strengthened. Life is too miserable, we can't live on anymore! "
Assassin _ Creed replied to Watermelon _ Taro: "Well said. Our Beiqi players aren't crying, why are you crying? Go away, we'll be the first to cry."
…
Because of the event, the three servers started to act pitiful one after another. They talked about how tough the conditions in their own servers were, hoping that the Genius Group would take it seriously.
Especially the Beiqi players. Although they knew that they were the strongest among the three servers, they also actively acted pitiful like the other two servers.
From their point of view, crying was the right thing to do. It would make the Genius Group think that they were miserable, and maybe they would be strengthened.
Therefore, the players of the three servers each opened a thread and began to summarize the miserable conditions of their own servers. Then, they crazily refreshed the thread and pinned it at the top, hoping that the officials would see it.
Lu Wu blushed with shame as they took turns to cry.
Especially the Beiqi players, Lu Wu had nothing to say to them. Their ability to act pitiful was really impressive.
If one did not have a deep understanding of them, an outsider might really think that the current situation of the Beiqi players was dire after reading their summary thread.
In the end, Lu Wu simply ignored their pitiful comments.
No matter how much you complain, I will not budge.
Want to strengthen? That's impossible. The most important thing is to earn more soul coins for me!
…
When it was eight o 'clock in the evening, there were no players in the Mansion of the Dead except for the NPCs wandering around.
At this time, a game notification appeared.
[Server Announcement: The Tomb Sweeping Event has officially started. The unlimited use of the tribute item has been sent to the players' personal channel. During the event, the location of the tomb will change every thirty minutes. Please search for it yourself!]
The event had officially started. The players who were already well-prepared started to run around the Land of Beiqi, looking for the tomb.
Beside the Liuli Coast.
Hu He was holding a compass and waiting there. Behind him stood more than twenty figures.
Compared to Hu He, they looked dull, like walking corpses.
At this moment, Hu He looked completely different from before. The childishness and gangster-like look on his face was gone, replaced by a sense of maturity and steadiness.
The twenty-three people sacrificed their lives to save him, which touched Hu He deeply.
After that battle, Hu He chose to refine the twenty-three people into zombie spirits. Due to the limitations of his own ability, the strength of the twenty-three people was only at the Ghost General Stage and they had lost their consciousness.
However, the Zombie Forgemaster had the ability to summon spirits. He believed that as his strength grew stronger, he would be able to wake them up one day.
Moreover, he swore that he would personally lead them to kill Yuanxu, using his blood as a sacrifice for the twenty-three people who risked their lives to save him.
The reason why he returned to Beiqi this time was to participate in the Tomb Sweeping Festival event.
Because every event had an opportunity to improve his strength, he did not want to miss it.
The reason why he came to the Liuli Coast was that he had a guess after reading the event announcement.
While waiting, the compass suddenly lit up with a red light. Then, a blood-colored tomb appeared on the coast.
[Cha Na's Tomb]:
Lonely Grave Message: Even though there are thousands of enemies, Cha Na has come forward step by step from a lowly soldier. Cha Na has proven his ability to the King of Beiqi with his fearless bravery in every battle. Liuli, who was granted a fief, is a general of Beiqi! He is a heroic spirit!
Refresh Time: 29 minutes 48 seconds
Worship Count: 500 times (Each player is limited to one time)
Special Reward:??? (Fate)
Looking at Cha Na's lonely tomb, Hu He suddenly smiled. He knew that his guess was right.
Then, he turned his head to look at Cha Na's zombie spirit.
Thinking of bringing Cha Na's zombie spirit to worship Cha Na's lonely tomb, he felt that it was inappropriate.
After thinking for a while, Hu He took out the tributes and placed them in front of Cha Na's lonely tomb. He waited for the one-minute ritual to be worshipped.
Just then, the shadow of Cha Na in armor appeared.
At this moment, Hu He seemed to see the scene of Cha Na fighting a bloody battle on the battlefield. The sound of fighting echoed in his ears.
"I am Cha Na! I will definitely become famous one day! "
In the scene, the shadow of Cha Na waved his fist toward the sky. His eyes were filled with determination and perseverance.
Although he knew that it was just an NPC, Hu He could still feel the image of a real person.
Hu He sighed. As the tributes burned, he slowly bowed toward Cha Na.
"Brother Cha Na, I'm sorry. I stole your head!"
After straightening his body again, Hu He's eyes flashed with a hint of determination.
"But don't worry, Cha Na. I, Hu He, will definitely become the strongest in the future. I will not bring shame to your bravery when you were alive!"
As if he had heard Hu He's reply, the shadow of Cha Na on the lonely tomb suddenly burst into flames. Then, the shadow swung its right fist toward Hu He.
Seeing this, Hu He did not make any strange movements. He just stood there quietly.
The burning fist stopped at the tip of Hu He's nose.
After a short confrontation, the shadow of Cha Na suddenly retracted its fist.
At this moment, Hu He thought he could hear Cha Na's hysterical laughter.
Then, something happened that surprised Hu He. The burning shadow of Cha Na suddenly detached itself from the lonely tomb and jumped into the body of Cha Na's zombie spirit.
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Hu He for obtaining the recognition of Cha Na's remnant soul during the sacrifice of Cha Na's tomb. He has triggered an opportunity and obtained Cha Na's Spirit (Incomplete)]
This announcement sent the players into a frenzy. They did not expect the lonely tomb to be the tomb of a warrior who had died in the game. Suddenly, a large number of players started rushing toward Liuli Coast.
Each of them ran as fast as they could, afraid of missing the opportunity. After all, each tomb could only be swept 500 times.
Looking at the zombie spirit of Cha Na, whose eyes gradually lit up, Hu He was stunned.
[Cha Na's Zombie Spirit (Half-step Ghost King Realm)]:
Zombie Spirit Information: A zombie spirit personally refined by player Hu He. A total of three bodies were integrated, namely Cha Na's head (Peak Ghost General), Mu Te's remnant body (Late Ghost General), and Daybreak Hou (Mid Ghost King Realm).
Zombie Spirit Status: Under the stimulation of Cha Na's remnant soul, Cha Na's zombie spirit has been upgraded. It has developed basic spiritual intelligence and advanced to Half-step Ghost King Realm.
It has developed spiritual intelligence!
Hu He did not expect that he would be recognized by Cha Na's remnant soul with just a simple sweep of the tomb, triggering the opportunity.
After taking a glance at Instant's Tomb, Hu He took a deep breath and bowed once again.
"I will keep my promise. Even if you were once my enemy, we are now comrades!"
Cha Na's tomb, which had lost its remnant soul, did not respond this time. The tributes below had been burned to ashes, and the quest completion notification appeared.
[Completed the sweep of Cha Na's tomb. Quest item 'Gift of the Lonely Soul' obtained.]
After taking another deep look at Cha Na's tomb, Hu He took out the compass, turned around, and left.
After this promise, Hu He felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier. However, he did not regret it, because from now on, he wanted to be the strongest!
After Hu He left, a large number of players arrived one after another. However, the information on Cha Na's tomb had changed.
The question mark in the column for the special reward had disappeared. It was replaced by the person who obtained the opportunity, Hu He.
Although the players who came later felt that it was a pity, they continued to sweep the tomb of their former enemy.
Lu Wu had undoubtedly put in a lot of effort into this event.
Apart from the ones in the Hall of Valiant Spirits, the other Graves of the Valiant Spirits that were scattered all over Beiqi were summoned by him by burning soul coins. As for whether the opportunity could be grasped, it all depended on whether the players could obtain the recognition of the Valiant Spirits during the sweep.
However, this Tomb-Sweeping Day event was undoubtedly a success. The players were very involved in the quest, and there were also players who obtained various opportunities, some strong and some weak.
However, Lu Wu was disappointed that none of the players obtained the inheritance of the Valiant Spirits.
After all, some of these Valiant Spirits were once powerhouses of the Ghost Emperor Realm. It was extremely difficult to obtain their recognition. Even Lu Wu could not provide any help. Everything depended on the players' own efforts.
The word "opportunity" was the core of this event.
Whether one could obtain the recognition of the Valiant Spirits was a very vague concept. Perhaps it was like what happened to Hu He, who only needed to say something inadvertently to resonate with the remnant soul of the Valiant Spirits and obtain their recognition. Or even if the Valiant Spirits felt that they were fated, the players did not need to do anything before they took the initiative to grant the opportunity.
Even so, the players did not know that after knowing that there was a reward for the opportunity, they became extremely devout when they swept the graves. Every one of them wanted to obtain the recognition of the Valiant Spirits and obtain the opportunity.
There was even a silly player who knelt in front of a Valiant Spirit's grave that he did not even know and wailed loudly, just to move the owner of the grave and grant him the opportunity.
During this period, the players did all kinds of tricks. Even Lu Wu, who was observing from behind the scenes, felt embarrassed for them.
