[PS: Late monthly votes and updates. This chapter is the promised April monthly votes and updates.]
The first two expansions were mainly targeted at Overlord players, while the third expansion, [Martial World's Wrath], was tailored for adventurer players.
With the release of the expansion pack, the major sects would appear along with the history of the wilderness. Wandering swordsmen, abject warriors, secret martial arts aristocratic families, secret martial arts inheritances, martial arts fortuitous encounters, and other content would enter the players' sights, and they would create a grand and exciting world of martial arts with the adventurers.
What made the adventurer players even more excited was that according to the official announcement, the "Plane Adventure Instance Dungeon" that was specifically targeted at adventurer players had finally arrived!
Unlike military campaigns, Gaia would combine materials such as movies and novels to create a fictional martial arts dungeon. From ancient wuxia novels like "The Three Heroes and Five Gallants" to the modern "Legend of the Chivalrous Heroes", to the golden age of wuxia novels in its golden age, to the newer wuxia novels like "Kunlun", "Heroes", etc.
Every Instance Dungeon had a specific trigger condition, and different Instance Dungeons had different participation requirements. There were solo adventures, team battles, and competition.
Inside a Dungeon, not only did players have the opportunity to obtain various martial arts manuals, but they also had the opportunity to obtain various divine weapons, elixirs, and even special items such as Disguise Masks and Torrential Pear Blossom Needles.
Just like the battle map, the Wuxia dungeon also had a time limit. Once certain conditions were met, the dungeon would automatically close and never appear again. Of course, the flow of time in the dungeon was also related to the battle map.
The Wuxia Instance Dungeon and the Underworld would determine the gamer's gaming career.
Of course, this was also part of Gaia's plan to enhance the physical fitness of all citizens.
The release of the expansion pack proved that Gaia's research on martial arts had entered a brand new stage. They had made a major breakthrough, and all sorts of legendary ancient martial arts would be restored by Gaia and released into the game.
Through the cultivation of martial arts, the players could continuously increase their individual combat power in preparation for establishing themselves on Planet Hope in the future and accumulate the capital to survive.
Because of this, none of the players would slack off.
It was even more likely that with the release of the expansion pack, a large number of Lifestyle players or casual players would commit suicide and reincarnate, taking advantage of the only chance to choose a new class to change to a class such as Vigilante.
In the near future, with the appearance of a large number of secret manuals, the entire wilderness would be filled with a cultivation frenzy. However, the appearance of World of Martial Arts did not affect the Lord Level players.
As the saying goes: Heroes break the law with their martial arts.
Throughout the ages, the relationship between the martial arts sects and the imperial court had always been unclear.
Sects were all located in the wilderness, so it was inevitable that they would have to interact with the various large territories. Whether they would cooperate or go against each other, there was a lot of knowledge involved.
Moreover, as the players became stronger, they would also pose a threat to the territory's security.
There was no doubt that with the release of the expansion pack, the wilderness would become even livelier. Ouyang Shuo was already considering whether he should set up an organization in Shanhai City that specialized in managing martial artists.
Ouyang Shuo's ultimate goal was to use force against force and cultivate a spokesperson in the world of martial artists so that the martial artists could be used by his territory. No one person could stand above a territory.
In the future, there would be a lot of bloodshed in the martial arts world.
Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo was also considering another problem. With the release of the expansion pack, what kind of interesting changes would happen to Feng Qingyang and his Swordsman City, who had always set his sights on becoming the leader of the martial arts world?
How would these changes affect the [Yan Huang Alliance] and Shanhai City? What about Dongchuan County, which was still under the control of Swordsman City?
Obviously, with the release of the expansion pack, the wilderness would usher in a period of fog. When the fog dissipated, who would be the final victor and who would be the loser?!
Ouyang Shuo had no way of knowing, but there were more and more things to think about in his mind.
At this moment, another system announcement sounded.
"World Announcement: In order to celebrate the game's third year of operation, the system will be holding a global auction on the fourth year, month, day, Gaia at ten in the morning. At that time, there will be ten rare and peerless treasures for public auction. Please look forward to it! Friendly Reminder: Participating in the global auction must not be less than one million gold coins. "
…
The announcement caused an uproar throughout the world.
There were already rumors about the global auction. Gaia's move was to control the number of top-notch items from various countries and prevent too many rare treasures from being sold through the auction.
Secondly, it was to stimulate competition among the players of various countries and lay the groundwork for future wars.
However, the players did not expect Gaia to go so far this time. The minimum requirement to participate in the auction was one million gold coins, blocking 99% of the players in the world.
One had to know that even in the China region, which had the most wealthy people, the most expensive divine equipment was only sold for 1,350,000 gold coins in the third year of Gaia's system auction.
That was when Gaia had just introduced the limited time exchange, and the major guilds were still in a rush.
Under normal circumstances, it would not exceed a million gold coins.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, a million gold coins had become the minimum requirement? In other words, without a million gold coins, it was impossible to get an entry ticket to the auction.
In the [Shanhai Alliance], only Ouyang Shuo had the qualifications. Following the revival of the Imperial Guard Corps, Ouyang Shuo had to borrow 300,000 gold coins from the finance department to make up for the 4 million gold coins.
With the 4 million gold coins in hand, Ouyang Shuo was not sure how many items he would be able to get. One of the items was something that Ouyang Shuo had to get. The other items could only be left to fate.
Considering that Crimson Romance and the other guilds might withdraw their funds from the Bank of the Four Seas to participate in the global auction, Ouyang Shuo would not allow the Bank of the Four Seas to lend to Feng Qiuhuang and company.
Furthermore, it did not feel right to take a loan from the Bank of the Four Seas to participate in the global auction. If it was revealed, it would be a huge blow to the Bank of the Four Seas' reputation. Ouyang Shuo did not want to take the risk.
The ten items would be fought over by players all over the world. Feng Qiuhuang and company did not want to join in the fun.
There were two or three people in the [Yanhuang Alliance] who had the financial capability. At the very least, Lord Chunshen and Di Chen would not be absent. This once again proved that the further it went, the more support the [Yanhuang Alliance] would have.
With the system announcement, many players around the world were probably feeling desolate. This was because they realized that the historical moment they had been looking forward to had ended before it even began.
At this point, the drama at the end of the third year of Gaia came to an end.
Shanhai City, Royal City.
Once again closing the official forums, Ouyang Shuo said to Bing'er, "Let's go!"
With the arrival of the end of the year, Shanhai City's two hidden buildings, the [Silver Wish Tower] and the [Recruitment Hall], could once again be used. As for the [General Appointment Platform], it was summoned every two years, so they would have to wait until next year.
Last year, Ouyang Shuo had used Bing'er to summon the Godly General Zheng He. Now that he had tasted the sweetness of success, he wanted to use the two hidden buildings through Bing'er again to maximize his profits.
Ouyang Shuo was really looking forward to what kind of amazing talent Bing'er would summon.
Before going to the [Recruitment Hall], Ouyang Shuo brought Bing'er to the [Silver Wish Tower]. The [Silver Wish Tower] was only opened once every six months. The previous opportunity was wasted because Ouyang Shuo was still out at sea.
This time, there was another important reason for this trip.
A few days ago, Yongren City's spies had sent news that Shi Hu, Lei Jingtian, Shan Zhu and Shi Bao, the four young generals, had unfortunately died in the battle.
When the news came, Ouyang Shuo was dumbfounded. He could not believe that the four outstanding generals he had groomed had died on the battlefield just like that.
At that time, Ouyang Shuo had truly experienced the meaning of grief and despair.
After thinking about it, the only hope to resurrect the four of them was in the [Silver Wish Tower]. The highest level of the [Silver Wish Tower] could be used to make other types of wishes.
Ouyang Shuo could only pray that the four of them could be resurrected through this method.
Precisely because of this, Ouyang Shuo had to bring Bing'er along.
However, when he walked into the [Silver Wish Tower], Gaia gave Ouyang Shuo a wake-up call.
[System Notification: The activation of the hidden building cannot be done with the help of others. It must be done by the lord himself, otherwise it will be ineffective. Players, please be aware!]
"…"
Gaia's actions were obviously targeting Ouyang Shuo's "cheating" last year, but they were not allowed to do it again.
"There's no other way, I can only do it myself!"
Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and walked to the compass. Fortunately, with the breakthrough of the Luck Dragon, his personal [Luck Source] had reached 22 points. Although it was not as heaven-defying as Bing'er's, it was still not bad.
Thinking about this, Ouyang Shuo focused and connected with the Luck Dragon in his consciousness. He wanted to borrow the power of the Luck Dragon to temporarily increase his personal [Luck Source] and obtain a blessing.
After the battle of Lingnan ended, the Luck Dragon became more and more intelligent and immediately established a spiritual connection with Ouyang Shuo. At the same time, Ouyang Shuo felt a mysterious power pass through the Luck Dragon to his spiritual world.
At the same time, the System Notification sounded.
[System Notification: Congratulations to player Not Have Clothes, you have obtained the blessing of the territory's Luck Dragon, temporarily increasing [Luck Source] by 15 points for five minutes.]
This was a rare opportunity, so Ouyang Shuo did not dare to be negligent and immediately started.
[System Notification: Please select the type of wish!]
Ouyang Shuo immediately chose the gold ingot.
[System Notification: Wish type confirmed, please select the mode of wish.]
"Custom wish."
[System Notification: Wish mode confirmed, please state your wish!]
Ouyang Shuo calmed his mind and said, "I wish to resurrect the four generals of the Royal Guard Corps, Shi Hu, Lei Jingtian, Shan Zhu, and Shi Bao."
[System Notification: Wish confirmed, calculating …]
