The Ghost Parade event was the first time the players encountered an event where they could not defeat the monsters.
Compared to other events, the Ghost Parade event was much more exciting for the players.
However, it was also much more difficult than the previous events.
In the last hour of the event, many teams had suffered heavy losses to the point where they had no teammates to betray.
Their kind teammates had all become the Immobilizing Talismans that some players used on the Ghost Soldiers, exchanging a life for a life.
However, the players who betrayed their teammates still felt that although the Teammate Items were useful, they were not very durable and would be used up in a short amount of time.
Betraying their teammates was fun for a while, but it would last forever.
Many players hated themselves for not making more friends before the event. Otherwise, they could have sold a few more items and persevered until the end of the event.
At the last moment of the event, when victory was at hand, the remaining players who survived the Ghost Parade were shivering in fear. Even the wind beside them could scare them.
The players who were still alive were not those who had excellent awareness and were good at hiding and hiding. They were all ruthless players who betrayed their teammates.
They were not ordinary players.
When the event ended, the number of players who had not been eliminated was less than one-tenth of the number at the beginning of the event.
As Mother Harpy led the Ghost Soldiers and the Ghost Soldiers into the Gate of Hell and disappeared from the Land of Beiqi, the surviving players were filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.
Less than one-tenth of them survived, but I survived. I'm so f * cking awesome!
However, when they returned to the Mansion of the Dead, they were greeted by the brutal beatings of their revived teammates.
Their methods were extremely cruel!
After all, they were used as Immobilizing Talismans. How could they not feel resentful?
However, it had to be said that this activity was also filled with joy amidst the excitement.
As the event ended, the players could not wait to start the second event, Zhong Kui Subduing the Demons.
On this day, the sales of the items in the shop were extremely good.
Especially the Speed Potion, which could increase one's movement speed. Not only did Lu Wu not suffer any losses, he even made a small profit.
Lu Wu could not help but feel that he was smart enough to come up with this type of event.
While the players were happy, it also allowed the players to circulate their soul coins.
…
When it was eight o 'clock in the evening, the game notification rang in the players' heads.
[Server Announcement: Hungry Ghost Festival Event Two: Zhong Kui Subduing the Demons has begun. You will be randomly assigned to your faction!]
At the same time as the game notification appeared, the players also had the information of the faction they were assigned to.
Half of the players belonged to the Heavenly Master Faction, while the other half belonged to the Zombie Faction. Each of them had different abilities.
As for the abilities that the players originally had, they were all blocked after the event started and could not be used. Their attributes were also adjusted to be the same.
At this moment, the way the players looked at the players around them changed.
They became extremely vigilant, even towards their own teammates.
This was especially so for the Heavenly Masters. The Yin-Yang Eye was an ability that could identify friend from foe, and not all players could randomly grasp it.
On the other hand, the players of the zombie camp had the necessary skill of identifying friend or foe, Bloody Eyes.
Hence, the players of the Celestial Masters Faction needed to form teams. In the team, there must be a player who grasped the Yin Yang Eye.
As for the zombie players, they were already prepared to attack the surrounding Celestial Masters because they had the Blood-eye buff.
The deception was repeated once again.
For example, when a certain teammate asked his teammate if he was a Heavenly Master or a zombie, the teammate answered sincerely that he was a Heavenly Master. However, after gaining his trust, the teammate turned around and killed the teammate.
The trust between players was once again lost.
The battle of wits and courage had officially begun.
The skills of the players from both camps had long cooldowns, so they did not dare to use them casually.
For example, the Celestial Masters Faction's Evil Smiting had a cooldown of seven minutes. If it was used on the wrong target and they encountered a real zombie player within seven minutes, they would be completely doomed.
Hence, the battle of wits and courage was the main theme. Using skills to test the other party's identity was not advisable, as it would easily put one in a passive position.
Compared to the vigilance of the Heavenly Masters, the zombie players were deceiving and deceiving in order to get close to the Celestial Masters Faction players and kill them in one strike.
Of course, when the zombie players encountered the Celestial Masters Faction players who possessed the Yin Yang Eye, they also met a tragic end.
This group of players pretended to be tricked and waited for the zombie players to get close. When they thought they were about to succeed, they would backhandedly hit the zombie players with Evil Smiting, causing them to doubt their lives and be eliminated.
Deception and anti-deception, tricks and counter-tricks, the battle between the players from the two camps had officially begun.
In this Zhongkui event, while luck was important, intelligence was even more important.
In less than half an hour after the event began, there were already players from the Celestial Masters Faction who had advanced to Zhong Kui through stratagems, and players from the zombie camp who had evolved to Jiangchen, greatly improving their abilities.
The intensity of the battle continued to rise.
At this moment, former friends might not be friends anymore, and former enemies might not be enemies anymore.
Camps were the key to distinguishing between friend and foe.
As long as they were players from the same camp, they were all brothers. If they were players from the opposing camp, even if they had just become sworn brothers in the Mansion of the Dead yesterday, they would still use Evil Smiting (Bloodlust) and send them back to the resurrection point of the Mansion of the Dead.
As the event progressed, tricks and tricks emerged one after another.
For example, a zombie squad would disguise themselves as Heavenly Masters, find lone Heavenly Masters, and recruit them into the squad. They would then deceive and kill them one by one.
There were also Heavenly Masters who had mastered the Yin Yang Eye, leading a real Heavenly Master squad to massacre and suppress the zombie players.
The players from the two camps had different abilities, each with their strengths and weaknesses. However, due to the long cooldowns of their skills, it was a problem that required careful consideration as to how to use them appropriately without wasting them.
During the confrontation between tricks and tricks, there were many who thought they had a winning chance but failed miserably. Of course, there were also many who succeeded, and each of them fought for the final victory for their own camp.
As time passed, the players basically formed small groups.
The slaughter turned into small groups or group battles.
Since they could kill each other in one hit, maximizing the efficiency of their attacks was also an important factor. Intelligence was especially important at this moment.
The advantage of the zombie players in the early stage gradually disappeared, and the Heavenly Masters camp, which had the most casualties in the early stage, began to rise.
At this moment, some of the zombie players decided to play hiding, preparing to preserve the precious zombie bloodline for their camp. They hid, turned into Voldemort, and survived until the end of the event.
After all, the zombie camp still had the advantage. If they could last until the end of the event, they would still be the winner.
This trick was indeed effective. Since the Heavenly Masters camp moved in groups, it was very disadvantageous for them to search for zombies. If this continued, they would definitely lose.
Therefore, they could only disband the group again and spread out to search.
At this moment, these Voldemort appeared again and began to hunt down lone Heavenly Masters.
It was not that the Heavenly Masters camp did not have a countermeasure. As more and more players evolved into Zhong Kui and mastered the Yin Yang Eye, even if they were alone, they still had a great advantage in confrontation.
At this moment, the Heavenly Masters camp players were extremely happy.
As for the zombie players, their happiness disappeared. They all turned into Voldemort and fell into hibernation, the kind that would not wake up until the end of the event.
Happy times were always short-lived.
The players were still in high spirits when the notification for the end of the event sounded.
[Server Announcement: The "Zhong Kui Subduing the Demons" event has officially ended! The winner is the zombie camp. The ratio of the number of people in the camp is 0.97: 1.]
The final result appeared, but there was only a 3% difference in the number of people on both sides.
At this moment, sighs and cheers sounded at the same time.
Many of the Heavenly Masters camp players were vexed. They felt that they could have won the event in half an hour, or even less. However, everything was a foregone conclusion, so there was no point in being vexed.
On the other hand, the zombie players were excited. They felt lucky that the event was over. Otherwise, they would not have been able to compete with the Heavenly Masters camp players in the later stages.
Just as the players were discussing it, the game notification sounded again.
[Server Announcement: Event Reward Released: Zombie Camp: Jiangchen's Gift Pack (Random Reward, Rare item drop rate increased by three times)]
[Server Announcement: Event Reward Released: Heavenly Masters Camp: Heavenly Masters Gift Pack (Random Reward)]
Upon seeing the event reward, many of the Heavenly Masters camp players who were still vexed over the event's final outcome could not help but smile.
They did not expect that the loser would receive a consolation reward. They did not understand why the stingy dog officials were so generous all of a sudden.
Hence, the players began to comment on the forum and the event channel.
"Dog officials, don't think that I'll be happy. I'm not happy at all (arms akimbo)"
"Dog officials, for the sake of the event reward, I'll give you a compliment (not really!)"
"Dog officials, don't think that you can bribe me with rewards. Even if you bribe me, I'll still call you dog officials (arms akimbo.jpg)"
…
Although they were slightly touched, the players did not bow their heads at all. Every one of them looked exactly like Lil Bei Li.
Of course, there were also sincere blessings and gratitude.
The flood of words of gratitude warmed Lu Wu's heart.
Once again, he confirmed that he was on the right path.
In fact, Lu Wu had been thinking about a problem.
That was, how should he treat the players?
If he wanted to maximize the benefits, he could control the players by force and build a place like the Lord God's Space in the novels. He could force the players to survive and become stronger, constantly squeezing out their value.
People like him, who grew up with the players, accompanied them behind the scenes, and considered for the players' sake, were usually called saints.
Because he did not know how to maximize the benefits, he was too kind.
However, he had experienced two years with the players, built the Beiqi Army together, built the Mansion of the Dead and Beiqi together. This feeling of interdependence made Lu Wu feel very comfortable, and he had a clear conscience.
Although there were strong and weak players among the players, they were full of vitality. This had already proved that his choice was right.
He did not need to choose the strongest one like breeding a poisonous insect. Reality had proven that his reward was an army of players, not just a few outstanding warriors.
Looking at the forum and the chat channel, the players flooded the screen with shouts.
"Fight for a lifetime, never give up!"
Lu Wu could not help but laugh.
Instead, he lowered the production rate of the rare items in the event gift packs.
As the players continued to open the gift packs, the soul coins in the storage were converted into items. The soul coins were running out!
So, all of them were unlucky!
