The Yellow Turban Army tents stretched as far as the eye could see. The tents were crisscrossed and interconnected with each other. The center of the army was well-organized, and the movement of personnel and resources was orderly. Their formation was far superior to the one Yang Lai had set up in Juping County!
In particular, there were almost no First Grade Yellow Turban soldiers moving about the camp. Judging from their attire and equipment, there were almost no Yellow Turban Soldiers. Second Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers made up most of the army. Even the Third Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers made up one-third of the army! Their grade was one grade higher than the average Yellow Turban Army Yang Rui had seen before!
Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army had set up sentries far away from the camp, even in broad daylight! It was a testament to their cautiousness! Yang Rui and his few dozen men didn't dare to move recklessly against such a large Yellow Turban Army. They silently retreated to a safe distance.
Yang Rui's mission was to 'stop a small group of Yellow Turban Army near Xutian County.' The system had teleported him to the vicinity of the Yellow Turban Army from the very beginning. Yang Rui guessed that many 'small groups of Yellow Turban Army' would gather at the camp. Thus, Yang Rui focused his attention on the various paths leading to the camp.
Yang Rui didn't know how far the Yellow Turban Army extended to the west. However, there were only three paths leading to the camp from the east. The path beside the river was the widest of the three. There were also two smaller paths several kilometers to the left and right of the path.
Yang Rui, Li Dong, and Zhang Chen divided up the work. The three of them each guarded a path, waiting for the 'small groups of Yellow Turban Army' to appear before attacking them! Li Dong led twenty bandit leaders to guard the main path in the middle.
Yang Rui had originally planned to guard the main path. There should have been more Yellow Turban Army on the main path. However, Li Dong offered to guard the main path with the excuse of being able to hide and ambush! Considering the attributes of Li Dong and his bandit leaders, Yang Rui agreed. Even though it was daytime. However, these roads were filled with weeds, so it wasn't difficult to hide!
After making the arrangements, Yang Rui did not stray too far from the official road. Instead, he took Zhang Chen with him and stopped to check the situation. It was not until a group of forty to fifty Yellow Turbans appeared and were successfully ambushed by Li Dong and the others that Yang Rui left with peace of mind. Together with Zhang Chen, he led eleven Fifth Grade bandit leaders and walked down the path on both sides.
"System Notification: Congratulations! You have successfully stopped the first small group of Yellow Turban Soldiers. You have received 1 Story Mission Authentication! If you accumulate them, you can exchange them for special items for storyline quests! "
Li Dong finished dealing with the first batch of Yellow Turban Soldiers. Yang Rui was surprised to receive a brief system notification. So this was how the storyline quest reward was calculated!
"System Notification: Congratulations, you have successfully stopped the second small group of Yellow Turban Soldiers. You have received 1 Story Mission Authentication! If you accumulate them, you can exchange them for special items for storyline quests! "
.....
Yang Rui and Zhang Chen might not have brought many bandit leaders, but with the strength of Fifth Grade soldiers, it was more than enough to deal with four to five times the number of Second Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers!
After Yang Rui's side had successfully stopped several small groups of Yellow Turban Soldiers, he finally understood some of the rules of the storyline quest! It turned out that the 'small groups of Yellow Turban Soldiers' referred to by the system were calculated in units of fifty people, even if the number of Yellow Turban Soldiers that appeared each time was less than fifty. The number of scattered people would also be calculated by accumulating!
"System Notification: Congratulations! You have successfully stopped the sixteenth small group of Yellow Turban Soldiers. You have received 1 Story Mission Authentication! Accumulating points can be exchanged for a special storyline quest item! "
.....
After Yang Rui, Li Dong, and Zhang Chen were divided into three groups, the system notification would sound every once in a while. Yang Rui received more and more Story Mission Authentication! The Story Mission Authentication was automatically given to the player's backpack and did not take up any space in the backpack, just like normal items. The player could check it at any time.
"Story Mission Authentication (Battle of Ying Chuan): In the regional storyline quest, witness the progress of the quest. Accumulating points can be exchanged for items! This Story Mission Authentication is limited to the exchange of items for the Battle of Ying Chuan. The exchange period is within twelve months! "
The item description of the 'Story Mission Authentication' was also very clear. It was a voucher to exchange for items. Its effect was somewhat similar to Achievement Points and Contribution Points! However, Yang Rui soon found out the special nature of this item!
The Yellow Turban Soldiers that Yang Rui was in charge of appeared less frequently. In his free time, Yang Rui logged into the built-in forum and browsed through the posts. As he waited for the Yellow Turban Soldiers to appear, a new post jumped into Yang Rui's field of vision!
"Story Mission Authentication can be traded! What does this mean?! "
This post, regardless of the title or the content, was very ordinary. Perhaps it was because most of the players who participated in the regional storyline had not received the Story Mission Authentication, so it did not attract the attention of the players. Very quickly, it disappeared without a trace!
However, this post revealed a very important piece of information — — the verification of story missions could be traded! The lowest trading price was a specific one gold coin, and there was no upper limit!
This post described in detail the experience of the poster and his friend, how they obtained the Story Mission Authentication, how they found the Story Mission Authentication in their backpack, and how they tried to trade it with ordinary items!
Just as the poster had said, this thing could be traded with each other! Wouldn't this give the players a chance to trade together? Especially for large gaming organizations and groups, it would be very beneficial!
The first person that Yang Rui thought of was the game trading platform's manager, Eileen! If he had sufficient funds, he could purchase some Story Mission Authentication through the game trading platform! However, due to the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising plot, Yang Rui had not contacted the game trading platform's manager for some time. Now, even if he wanted to contact her online, he could not do so!
Therefore, Yang Rui had to give up on the idea of purchasing Story Mission Authentication. Currently, if he wanted to contact the game trading platform, the only way was to go offline. During the Yellow Turban Uprising plot, even if he went offline normally, he would have to go online again after two hours in real time. This would waste a day of game time! Obviously, Yang Rui could not afford to waste time!
I wonder what kind of good stuff I can exchange for from the Story Mission Authentication? At this moment, Yang Rui could only hurry up and earn Yellow Turban Authentication!
"System Notification: Congratulations on successfully stopping the 31st small group of Yellow Turban Soldiers. Obtained 1 Story Mission Authentication! Accumulated can be exchanged for a special Story Mission item! "
.....
"Brother Qiang. Why don't we give up on the mission here? We only met a group of Han Ting Camp NPC soldiers on the way here. After we got a Story Mission Authentication, we did not see anyone from Han Ting Camp after coming here!
They even said something about 'clearing out the Han Ting Camp forces around the camp'! Even if we let the Han Ting Camp come here, they might not be able to find this place. It's obviously a waste of time! "
"That's right, Brother Qiang! What Third Brother said made sense! We have 20 to 30 people wandering around here, and we did not even meet a single Han Ting Camp force. Isn't that a waste of manpower? It's a waste of time! How can we compare to those brats from the 'Wind Follower Alliance'? I heard that they have already clashed with the Han Ting Camp … "
"En. Let me consider … Eh? There are people from the Han Ting Camp ahead! "
"Where?"
“.....”
Yang Rui was killing the small group of Yellow Turban Soldiers according to the rules, but he did not expect to be targeted by a few Yellow Turban Camp players.
Actually, ever since Yang Rui understood the strength and scale of the so-called 'small group of Yellow Turban Soldiers', he did not hide anymore. He only hid 10 Bandit Leaders behind him in the bushes, while Yang Rui himself appeared in the middle of the small path. He was only waiting for the 'small group of Yellow Turban Soldiers' to find him and lure them into the trap. Then, he and the Bandit Leaders would launch a counterattack. Usually, they could finish off all the enemies in one fell swoop!
But this time, Yang Rui lured a group of Yellow Turban Camp players over.
"Who are you? Why don't you surrender? "
When the twenty to thirty Yellow Turban Camp players saw that Yang Rui was alone on the small path, they rushed forward to surround Yang Rui. However, they did not expect the leader to mistake Yang Rui for an NPC from the Han Ting Camp. Even the way he spoke had changed.
Although they could no longer check the identity of players after the second system update, there was still a clear distinction between players and NPCs. However, Yang Rui was fully equipped and stood still without any reaction. He looked like a quest NPC! It was no wonder that they mistook him for someone else …
Yang Rui did not waste time talking to them. He raised the spear in his hand and used the special skill, Six Forms of Wild Goose Fall. The few Yellow Turban Camp players who were at the front only saw cold stars flash before their eyes. They fell to the ground before they could react.
"Ah!"
"Hold on …"
.....
Seeing that Yang Rui had made his move, the Bandit Leaders who were hiding in the bushes behind him also went berserk. They waved their daggers and stabbed at the Gold Camp players in front of them! The current strength of normal players was naturally still lacking compared to a Fifth Grade soldier. In addition, these twenty to thirty Yellow Turban Camp players were caught off guard. Most of them were dead in the blink of an eye!
The remaining ten or so Yellow Turban Camp players did not cause much of a stir. They were all taken care of by Yang Rui and the Bandit Leaders in just a short while. It was worth mentioning that these Yellow Turban Camp players were not only rich, but they also dropped a lot of money and items. They even dropped a story mission identification card!
It turned out that the story mission identification cards were the same for both the Han Ting Camp and the Yellow Turban Camp! Moreover, this item was just like any other normal item. It could be dropped! It was also from then on that the Yellow Turban Camp players became Yang Rui's main targets!
After a day, Yang Rui had earned over twenty thousand Merit and Contribution Points. Apart from that, he had also obtained over a hundred story mission identification cards and over five hundred gold coins! Compared to the usual day when Yang Rui led the soldiers to fight, his efficiency was much higher!
Apart from that, there was also a large pile of miscellaneous items that Yang Rui did not count. Among them, three hundred sets of Second Grade and Third Grade skill books and equipment were the most valuable.
As night approached, there were no more Yellow Turban Camp players on the road. Yang Rui left the broken ship in the river as a temporary camp.
"My lord, a group of Yellow Turban Camp players kidnapped a dozen young women from somewhere along the road that I was guarding during the day. I rescued them. These women have no home to return to and have requested that we take them in. Please give us your orders, my lord, "Lidong reported.
