Every hour after that, there were hundreds of different ways to throw items, and not a single one was repeated. For example, auctioning items at a very low price, sending them directly to random players through the mail, posting an announcement on the forum for players to send emails to Brother You, and then randomly send them back.
Some players who weren't too far away from Moonlit Night Cloud City were filled with regret. Because the distance was too far, they thought that they definitely wouldn't be able to catch up if they walked. Who knew that the other party would throw items like this, and this torment lasted for an entire day. If they had immediately set off after receiving the news last night, they would have walked for more than ten hours to reach their destination. Although they would have missed the first few rounds, they wouldn't have missed the later parts.
But now? No one knew how long Against the Heavens would throw items for. Whether or not they should start walking from now on became a worry for these players. If they didn't go and the other party threw items for three days straight, they might miss out on their good luck. If they went and the other party threw items halfway, it would also make them vomit blood.
In the midst of this dilemma, the players all had their own plans. Some immediately set off, while others gritted their teeth and hoped that the event would end soon. At this moment, every additional round of throwing was like a knife to them. They had the chance to participate in these rounds, if they had set off last night.
According to the statistics on the forum, Very Against the Heavens had already gone through ten rounds of throwing items. If the number remained the same every time, then there would have been 500 items consecutively thrown, including equipment, accessories, scrolls, living materials, rare quest items, and other popular items on the market. Even if the players who were lucky didn't need them for their profession, they would still be able to earn a lot of money.
What was even more exciting was that after ten rounds, Very Against the Heavens didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. It was already midnight, but the two cities were still bustling with activity. Many players hadn't slept since last night and had stayed up until now. Those who were still persisting were people with extraordinary willpower and a strong gambler's mentality. Apart from that, there were also many players who saw the number of people in these two cities. They felt that they wouldn't be so lucky and had already silently given up. However, these people didn't show up. This was because some of the players who were further away had started their journey last night. There were quite a few players who had traveled for ten or even twenty hours to reach the two cities. From this, it could be seen that even the most determined people couldn't resist the temptation of reaping without sowing.
"What do we do next round?" In Very Against the Heavens' guild channel, a member of the item throwing group asked.
"I can't throw anymore, I'll throw again tomorrow!" Yutian Shenming complained. At first, they found it interesting when they saw the players go crazy, but after seeing it over and over again, they started to feel numb. After becoming numb, they started to pay more attention to the value of the items in their hands.
"Why don't we just throw it away this time?" Cloud Twilight said. He and his brothers were not like Imperial Heaven Divine Ming, who did not treat other people's plundering as something fun. They treated it as a mission, so it was natural that they were tired after running around for the entire day.
"How many things do you have on hand?" Han Family Young Master asked.
Brother You, the statistician, reported, "We brought back a total of 774 items from Inch. We've thrown away 500 of them, so there are 274 left."
"If we continue like this, it'll take at least another five hours." Many people looked like they were about to vomit blood.
"Alright, then let's have a climax at the end!" The Han Family's young master said.
"Tell me what to do." After a day of torment, everyone's interest in creating a climax had actually waned. They weren't like the Han Family Young Master, who was passionate about tormenting others.
"Fifty people, five pieces for each person. Next, we'll throw one piece every ten minutes. Including the wave we threw at the previous hour, there will be six waves in total. Let's make this hour more fulfilling for everyone!" Han Family Young Master said.
"All right, we'll do as you say," said someone.
"For this wave, everyone can throw however they want." Han Family Young Master said.
"Can we throw them at each other?" Yutian Shenming asked.
The chat was instantly silent. Honestly speaking, everyone was interested in these items, but they were intentionally avoiding it. They were afraid that if they thought too deeply about it, they wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. Even if they weren't taking out items from their class, it was still a large amount of gold!
"Uhh, I just saw that everyone seemed to be in low spirits, so I made a joke to liven up the atmosphere …" Yutian Shenming immediately said. Even in the chat, the sudden silence made him feel the awkwardness of the atmosphere.
Han Family Young Master didn't look down on him for the first time, he only said, "Everyone get ready, it's about time."
Boom boom boom, Fiercely's final round began.
Because the previous ten rounds had been a steady one hour, the players had already accepted this setting, so many people only started preparing when the time was almost up. However, they couldn't do anything in this one hour gap, so many people were trying to figure out how Overpowered would throw the equipment in the next round. After ten rounds, the players felt like they were stuck in a maze. They didn't see the same method repeated.
At this time, the last round of fighting had just ended, so it was the time when the players were the most relaxed. Looking at the time, there were still fifty minutes until the next round. Everyone was looking for ways to kill time, suddenly, a figure appeared on a rooftop in the corner of the main city. He shouted, "The equipment is here." Then, he quickly disappeared.
No one paid attention to him.
Throughout the day, this kind of impersonation and equipment throwing prank had happened countless times. At first, the players fell for it, but then they angrily caught the prankster and killed him. Then, they became numb to it. At this time, it had only been ten minutes since the equipment throwing, and someone had already come out to do it. Everyone looked down on this guy for being so bad at scamming people.
However, among many people, there were still some who hoped to get lucky. After a day of training, these people had a deep understanding of Overpowered's shamelessness. They thought that these people were capable of using any method. This group of people had always fallen for the prank because they refused to give up any chance to 'suspect'. They were laughed at by many players, but they didn't give up. This time, they finally had a reward. A player who had climbed up the roof with great difficulty found that there really was an equipment on the edge of the roof. The equipment was golden, and it was obvious that it wasn't trash.
The player quickly picked it up and immediately fell from the roof in happiness. His head was dizzy from the fall, but he kept shouting, "I got it, I got it!!!"
When the surrounding players saw this and thought about it, they knew that it wasn't a prank this time. It was actually real. They were so regretful that they beat their chests and stamped their feet. Similar scenes were happening in fifty places in Cloud Moonlit Night and the two cities. Although the fifty people threw it in different ways, the players' reactions were basically the same. Apart from surprise, there was more surprise.
"Thrown away, thrown away, thrown away, already thrown away!" The news quickly spread across the two cities. Many people who were slow to hear it still couldn't believe it. "What's thrown, what's thrown?"
"It's very overpowered. A new round of things has been thrown!"
"What? Already thrown? It's only been ten minutes! "
"Who knows? Anyway, it's already been thrown."
"Motherf * cker, do you have any credibility? Didn't you say that it would be thrown once an hour?"
The surrounding people were silent. After a long while, someone said, "Who said that to you?"
Indeed, throwing once an hour was a rule that the players concluded themselves. It was very overpowered and had never been publicly announced, although they had always done so.
Annoyed, dejected, and cursed. This throw caught too many people off guard. Many players were in a bad mood. It was as if if they had predicted this throw in advance, they would definitely be able to snatch the item.
Just when there was a deathly atmosphere, a long string of news suddenly came from the street. "Thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown again! Very overpowered, thrown again!! "
"Equipment thrown again?"
"Yes, thrown again!"
"F * ck!!" Someone immediately looked at his watch and found that ten minutes had passed since the previous throw. Combined with the previous throw, someone immediately came to a realization. "F * ck, it's changed, it's changed to ten minutes!!"
This was something that was very easy to discover. The players were glad that they had discovered it not too late. Ten minutes! This was a time that passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone rushed to the streets, looking for the masked heroes. Masked people had become the standard image of the players in the two cities. Many eyewitnesses said that the throwers had simple equipment and had no distinguishing features, but they were all masked.
Therefore, the masked people became the creatures that the players of the two cities loved and hated. The thieves and assassins of the two cities didn't dare to cover their faces on this day because it was too dangerous. Such strong emotions were unbearable whether it was hate or love!
With the observation skills of the Han Family Young Master, of course, he had noticed this detail long ago and naturally reminded everyone. The reason they masked their faces wasn't because they were afraid of being recognized, but because they were afraid of being remembered. But now that masked had become a special appearance, they naturally couldn't use this method anymore.
Therefore, in the next few rounds, they very overpowered the natural order of things like lucky draws through the mail. When the players realized that they had to guard their mailboxes, they changed to other methods.
At this moment, it was already the end. Even if they were remembered, there wouldn't be any consequences. The throwers all took off their masks and mixed into the crowd. However, the players were still stuck in the era of looking for masked people. They really couldn't keep up with the pace. Ten minutes passed, and no one was discovered. However, fifty items just appeared on the streets without a sound.
This time difference was undoubtedly too short. It was so short that the next round had already begun before the news of the throwers' equipment had spread to everyone's ears. The continuous throwing made every player excited. Clouds and Moonlight City was filled with people running wildly. No one could guess what these overpowered people were going to do. Some people climbed onto rooftops to look for suspicious figures. Some people squatted by their mailboxes and waited for this pattern to repeat. Some people even ran to the outskirts of the city. According to statistics, up until now, there hadn't been a single time when items were thrown outside of the main city. Perhaps this method would be used next?
The overpowered throwers really didn't care about the players' psychology at all. In short, they did what was convenient. Most importantly, they had to ensure their own personal safety. They had seen the players who had evil intentions and had been trying to find the throwers to kill them. They hadn't even heard a word of thanks until now. Instead, they had been killed. Who could remain calm?
This was the craziest hour of the day. It was also the last hour. Every ten minutes, the players were excited again and again in the middle of the night. When the 750th item was thrown, the players were still waiting for the next ten minutes. Suddenly, a post appeared on the forums.
The next time would be the last time. This time, there would only be one place in each city that would throw items. However, each place would throw 12 items.
The biggest climax really came at the end. Although the total number of items thrown this time wasn't as high as the previous times, the lucky person who appeared this time was likely to take all 12 items. There was no doubt that he would be the ultimate winner of today's grand prize. The players were all excited and anxious. They all hoped that the thrower would appear next to them, but they were also worried that the thrower wouldn't appear next to them. Time passed by, and everyone didn't know whether to continue or stop. If they left, what if they threw it at the place they had just walked past? If they didn't leave, what if they threw it at a place they could have walked to?
"Dang dang dang!"
At this moment, a loud bell rang in Cloud City. The foreign players were confused, but the local players of Cloud City all knew that this was the sound of their Cloud City's bell tower. Usually, the system wouldn't ring this bell tower. However, some bored players would go and randomly ring it from time to time. Today, everyone was focused on picking up equipment. Who would think of playing it?
However, at this moment, the bell tower suddenly rang. Everyone looked at the time. It was less than two minutes from 1 am. Was this a signal from an overpowered person, indicating that the thrower was going to be at the bell tower? Or was someone purposely trying to create some suspense at this sensitive time to distract everyone's attention?
Cleverness was often the victim of one's own cleverness. Smart people had too many ideas, and they were afraid that the sudden ringing of the bell tower was a trap. They were unlike the straightforward players, who immediately ran over to investigate the abnormal situation. They didn't make this trip in vain. The last throw in Cloud City was going to be at the bell tower! This ringing was to give the players an early warning.
There were people under the bell tower. When they heard the ringing, many people began to run upstairs. However, this bell tower was the tallest building in Cloud City. From the bottom to the top, even the fastest players would find it difficult to run all the way up in two minutes. Moreover, the stairs of the bell tower spiraled upward. It was very possible to run too fast and get dizzy.
These players who were in a hurry to run upstairs had undoubtedly made a mistake. They originally occupied an advantageous position, but because they wanted to make it more advantageous, they missed the opportunity. Just as they were halfway up the stairs, those who ran too fast felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, they suddenly heard a surging shout from outside the building.
Everyone quickly looked for a place where they could look out of the building. They saw all the players raise their heads and shout in surprise. Something just flew past them in a flash.
That's right, it was equipment, scrolls, items, and money. These were all money. They should have been able to stand downstairs, they should have had the opportunity to receive the large amount of money, but because of a momentary error in judgment, they lost such an opportunity. They could only watch the pie falling from the sky fall into someone else's mouth. They saw people fighting for these items downstairs. They didn't feel that it was a tragic scene. They only felt sad for missing such an opportunity.
They had no chance to get the item. However, some people immediately remembered that the person who threw the item was still upstairs. They continued to rush forward, trying their luck. But there was no one on the roof at this time. Any random person with a teleportation scroll would have already flown away.
Moonlit Night City didn't have a bell tower, so they couldn't do something like this. However, Moonlit Night City also had their own tradition: flag planting.
In this place where the people were fierce, there were fights every day in the leveling area. Flag planting was something that they invented, and it was a way to avoid some trouble. They would mark their own leveling area and plant their own team's flag. For example, after the Ten Guilds Alliance planted their flag, no one would dare to provoke them again. Otherwise, if there were always people who came to fight and negotiate with them, how would they be able to level for the day?
At this time, in the center of Moonlit Night City, two minutes before dawn, such a flag suddenly appeared. This was a flag that the players in Moonlit Night City didn't recognize. The flag seemed to have been made on the spot. There were no exquisite pictures on it, only a large word: Defy.
This strange appearance of this flag caused a commotion among the players. Some people had already guessed that this was a signal given by Defy, but what did it mean? Did it mean that the last round of throwing items would be thrown here? However, since the appearance of the flag, this place had been surrounded by a sea of people. How could Defy come out? Teleportation scrolls?
Many people thought of this, so everyone immediately began to grab the best position near the flag. The bloody battle that took place in these two minutes was more intense than any other leveling area competition in the history of Moonlit Night City.
Two minutes passed in a flash, and the place where the flag was planted suddenly glowed with white light.
It really was a teleportation circle! The players' expectations were not wrong, but no one appeared in the teleportation circle. What appeared were twelve items piled on the ground. Yes, equipment, scrolls, props, money, these were all money.
Everyone rushed forward without any regard for their own lives. Some people had already turned into white light halfway through the process. Who would be able to get it in the end? This was an answer that no one could predict.
At the same time, Brother You 'ID posted another post on the forum, announcing the end of the day's event.
