Pursuing fame and fortune wasn't what Yang Rui wanted. His only purpose in entering the Foreign Realm was to snatch the mission rewards, obtain as many soul type items as possible, and constantly improve his strength.
Especially since the final reward of the players' Otherworld Hegemony Tournament was related to the historical famous generals and historical figures. This was also one of the main reasons why Yang Rui chose to participate in it.
Yang Rui didn't care about things unrelated to these, such as the ranking of the mission points and the impact it had on other players. Sometimes, these things would become a burden.
As the saying went, "Men are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of fattening". Many people racked their brains to make a name for themselves. It was just a matter of profit. After becoming famous, there would be tangible benefits.
Yang Rui wasn't interested in this at all. On one hand, it was determined by his personality. On the other hand, the game "War of the Worlds" could actually improve a person's strength in real life, and it had the effect of restoring and improving the human body's functions.
Therefore, Yang Rui's core interest was to explore the "War of the Worlds" game to improve himself. For this reason, other things like reputation were illusory, especially this kind of reputation that only existed in the real world among the players, so it was even more meaningless.
If it was in the game, reputation would be very different. Through a series of things, Yang Rui had gradually realized the importance of reputation in the game. This was also the reason why he had been looking for ways to improve his status in the game.
Because of Yang Rui's attitude, when he noticed that he had inadvertently made a breakthrough in the ranking of the mission points, Yang Rui didn't feel excited or anything like that. Instead, he frowned slightly.
Yang Rui almost immediately expected this. His current performance was so extraordinary. It would definitely cause a lot of reactions among the players, such as making the players re-evaluate their own strength. Yang Rui thought of a lot, and he even realized the speculation of the large player organizations in the Japanese region.
However, Yang Rui quickly smiled and shook his head. Points could be used to win soul-type items. At the same time, the points ranking would also give corresponding rewards. In order to obtain these items and rewards, Yang Rui could only strive for as many points as possible.
The ranking didn't delay Yang Rui much. Yang Rui's attention quickly focused on the beast horde before him.
At this moment, it was already the third wave of monsters attacking the city on the first day of the Beast Tide. Yang Rui ascended to the highest point of the Colosseum and closely observed the distant horizon and the movements above the sea …
After Yang Rui eliminated the leader of the monster horde, there was not much suspense left in the previous wave of monsters. The remaining monsters in the base plane could no longer organize a normal attack. They could only passively take a beating.
Under the intensive attacks of Yang Rui's troops, arrows, and javelins, and at the same time, under the influence of Guo Jia's Four Symbols Maze, these monsters were almost unable to escape. In less than half an hour, they were all wiped out.
It was still very regrettable that as a large number of monsters in the base plane gradually turned into shadows and were wiped out. The field was still clean, and nothing was left behind.
"My lord. There still seems to be a monster corpse over there … "
However, the attentive Zhang Ning found a monster corpse at the end of a corridor on the east side. Then, Yang Rui came to the monster's corpse and directly picked it up.
All the monster corpses had been refreshed, but this one corpse did not disappear. Yang Rui guessed that there must be some special reason behind it!
This was a gray giant wolf the size of a calf. Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Guo Jia, and Xu You studied the monster's corpse, but they could not see anything from its appearance. But from the situation where its body was full of arrows and burnt fur, this monster did indeed receive a lot of attacks.
Zhang Ning found the position of the monster's corpse at the entrance of the corridor near the outside of the Colosseum. The Colosseum corridor was more than 10 meters long. Because of the corridor itself, this position was obviously not attacked. In other words, this monster came here after being seriously injured.
Yang Rui and others immediately realized that the monster corpse in front of them was probably the leader monster!
Ordinary monsters only knew how to attack and did not know how to escape. Even if they wanted to escape, they had to find a direction to escape. Under the restriction of the Four Symbols Maze, ordinary monsters naturally could not do this.
Whether it was the behavior of running away or the ability to detect the Four Symbols Maze, perhaps only the leader monster could do these two things. Therefore, Yang Rui and others could basically be sure that this monster corpse was the leader monster from before.
Later, after Yang Rui asked the "Three Founding Elders," he found out that although the leader monster did not carry any items, its corpse could store a crystal core. Through this, it was easy to identify the leader monster's identity.
In the end, Yang Rui finally took out a dark blue crystal from the calf-sized gray wolf's corpse. It was about the size of a pigeon's egg and was a regular polyhedron. There was no doubt that it was the crystal core that the "Three Founding Elders" had mentioned.
After Yang Rui took out the crystal core, the leader monster's corpse was quickly wiped out, leaving behind no items.
The crystal core was completely blue, and its attributes were displayed as a series of question marks. Even the name itself was a question mark. Yang Rui did not know what it was used for. However, Yang Rui did not ask the "Three Founding Elders" about it. Instead, he directly stored it in his bag.
Although the monsters in the lower levels of the Colosseum had been cleared long ago, the flying bird monsters in the upper levels of the Colosseum had not been cleared yet. When Yang Rui saw that the "Three Founding Elders" had also participated in the hunt for the leader monster, he did not ask about the crystal core.
Yang Rui could tell from the Third Elder's attitude when he mentioned the Crystal Core. He didn't seem to care too much about it. Yang Rui speculated that the value of the Crystal Core wasn't that great. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the Third Elder had done so on purpose.
In any case, the value of the crystal core should be determined by himself.
Thus, Yang Rui continued to observe the battle in the upper levels of the Colosseum while distributing the relevant skill books to the 10000 Fourth Grade archers. These archers had already met the requirements for advancement through the previous battles. They could use this time to learn the Fifth Grade skills first.
The experience given by beginner General level monsters was still very impressive. Moreover, these Fourth Grade soldiers were not far from Level 50 to begin with. Thus, they were able to meet the requirements for advancement to Fifth Grade in such a short time.
The Fifth Grade skill books for archers were ready-made. Yang Rui had brought these skill books with him when he signed up for the Outland Tournament. Now was the time to put them to good use.
In fact, it was not just the Fifth Grade skill books for archers. Yang Rui also had 10000 Sixth Grade skill books for archers with him. As long as the archers met the requirements for advancement, they would be able to increase the power of the current Fifth Grade archers by one grade.
During this time, the defense of the Death Island NPCs against the avian monsters continued for another half an hour before the second wave of monsters was completely exterminated.
As for what Yang Rui was looking forward to, the ultimate move that the NPCs on Death Island used to deal with the Chieftain monster, he never got to see it. In the end, the Chieftain Avian monster's Endurance and HP were worn out under the concentrated bombardment of the NPCs, and it fell from the sky.
During this time, the Chieftain monster tried to escape from the NPCs' attack range several times to recover. In the end, it was only shot down by an NPC that looked like an archer who used a skill to pull its aggro. Otherwise, this situation would have continued!
In the end, the scene of the NPCs from various civilizations using their skills to obtain the Chieftain monster's corpse allowed Yang Rui to come to a conclusion. The Chieftain monster's crystal core should have a special purpose. The attitude of the 'Three Founding Elders' towards the crystal core was indeed somewhat problematic.
* Boom boom boom … *
"Roar …"
“.....”
Under Yang Rui's observation, the third wave of monsters on the first day of the Beast Horde arrived as scheduled.
This time, the defense of Yang Rui's troops was gradually maturing. Facing the ferocious Beast Horde, Yang Rui's war machine was activated, wildly devouring the Beast Horde monsters that charged into the base. Other than not being able to obtain any items, Yang Rui's Quest Points had once again skyrocketed.
Before this, Yang Rui's Quest Points had risen from zero to a few hundred thousand points, entering the top 10 of the Leaderboard was one stage. Then, from a few hundred thousand points to 15 million points was the second stage, which had already shocked countless players.
Then, with the arrival of the third wave of Beast Horde, Yang Rui's Quest Points had once again skyrocketed by nearly 10 million points, reaching the height of 25 million points. The players' feelings could no longer be described as just 'shocked'.
Through the performance of the first day of the Beast Horde, Yang Rui had become completely popular. He had completely become an inhuman among the players from all over the world!
The number of monsters in the third wave was obviously more than the previous two waves. However, the strength of the monsters had always been within the range of the Beginner General's strength. There had not been any changes. Just the change in the number of monsters did not pose a greater threat at all. On the contrary, it had even increased Yang Rui's monster farming efficiency.
And in this wave of Beast Horde, there was indeed another Leader monster. After dealing with it once, Yang Rui had locked onto this Leader monster very early on. Still, he used almost the same method, which was to concentrate on a sneak attack and kill it early on.
After the Leader monster was killed, the remaining monsters once again became a plate of loose sand. When Yang Rui's troops had completely wiped out all of them, the time taken was not much longer than the previous two waves!
It was worth mentioning that the corpse of the Unicorn Leader monster was also preserved. It also contributed a khaki-colored Crystal Core. Its shape was very similar to the one Yang Rui had obtained previously.
At this time, Yang Rui had already guessed the possible value of the Crystal Core, so after obtaining it, he was prepared to store it well. However, Guo Jia asked for it and carefully observed it.
