"Ten years have passed, the four major guilds … Bah!"
Lin Xiao sat on the observation deck of the Lightning Tower, holding a bottle of fruit juice in his hand. He looked at the lightning that fell from time to time in the distance and sighed.
It had been ten years since he arrived in this world, and the Outland had finally opened.
After ten years of leveling up, he had visited most of the places in this world, especially after he learned teleportation spells after level 60. Not only did he go to the Eastern Continent to meet up with his girlfriend, but he also took time to visit other places in this plane. He had some understanding of the situation in this plane.
The situation in this plane was very similar to the legendary Azeroth. He seriously suspected that the big boss had been to the Titan Crystal Wall system where Azeroth was located.
However, it was only very similar, and it was just an imitation. This plane was very different from Azeroth.
First of all, there was no Azeroth Star Soul inside the planet, nor the Well of Eternity, nor the Ancient Gods, but there were rumors of Titans.
Star Soul Crystal Wall system!
Lin Xiao guessed that this crystal wall system might have the conditions for the birth of Star Souls. Perhaps the legendary Titans were the two big bosses.
In the past two years, he had tried to find traces of the Titans in the ancient legends. He had indeed found traces of them in some legendary places, but too much time had passed, and the traces left behind had long since melted away, so he did not find anything valuable.
Later on, he confirmed that this plane was just a rough imitation of Azeroth. It looked similar on the surface, but there were many secrets that were completely missing.
After exploring the entire world, Lin Xiao finally gave up and focused on leveling up.
Level 68 was very strong in this plane. It should be known that a real pure-blooded dragon was only around level 80, which was enough to show how high his level was.
Of course, although the dragon's level was not much higher than his, it was a Lord, which was also commonly known as a Boss. Even if he really reached level 80, he would not be able to defeat it, unless he could also upgrade his template.
Yes, players could also upgrade their template. The initial template was normal, and through a special ceremony, they could upgrade to elite, and finally heroic.
However, these template upgrades were not open yet. They would only be opened after entering the Outland through the Gate, and the conditions were extremely harsh.
Unfortunately, in the later stages of the game, there were no large numbers of level 60 to 70 monsters for him to farm without limit. Even the few powerful dungeons had cooldowns and could not be farmed without limit. Otherwise, he would have farmed until he reached level 70.
Speaking of which, the players who chose to go against the mainstream would probably be crying their eyes out right now. They chose to go against the Kobolds, Goblins, Gnolls, and even Murlocs. Most of them had a level cap of around 40 to 50. No matter how hard they worked, it would be difficult for them to level up and catch up with the mainstream players.
However, there were no absolutes in this world. Most of the non-mainstream players were miserable, but there were also some players who relied on their race's talents and characteristics to change their fates. These low-level non-mainstream races' talents had miraculous effects in certain aspects.
For example, if the Fishmen race encountered other Fishmen in the wild, they would naturally have a neutral reputation and would not be attacked by the wild Fishmen. They could also accept missions from larger Fishmen tribes to increase their reputation and gain some benefits.
The most famous one was a Fishman player called Yusheng You who found a large Fishman tribe in the Sea of Mist. He spent a few years crazily farming Reputation and finally reached Worship Reputation.
Therefore, as the first player to raise his Reputation to Worship, he received a huge benefit.
A set of Epic Equipment unique to Fishmen Reputation. Its attributes were comparable to a T2 equipment set.
The Priest and Warlock jobs were exclusive to the Fishmen. Although they did not have many skills, their effects were very strong. The most important thing was that they did not conflict with their own jobs and could be part-time jobs. This was very powerful.
There were some extremely rare treasures. It was said that the player was currently working hard for an Orange Legendary Artifact of the Fishmen race. No one knew when he would be able to get his hands on it.
He could hire a small team of ten Level 45 Elite Fishmen to help him kill monsters and level up. Moreover, the hired Fishmen could be trained and leveled up. He could choose to change his job to Warrior or Warlock or Priest. He could also obtain NPCs' exclusive equipment to increase his strength and so on.
One could imagine how great it would be for a player to have ten Level 45 Elite pets to level up and kill monsters together. One had to know that although the game in this world was digitalized, it was not a real game after all. The control of pets or subordinates was directly verbal commands and not a few rigid commands. The flexibility was much higher than in the ancient games.
Therefore, the first Fishman player to eat crabs had already surpassed the Fishmen's Level 45 limit and was now Level 51.
A few of the ten Elite Fishmen pets died one after another. Now, there were seven left, and all of them had reached Level 50. Each of them was equipped with a set of Excellent quality NPCs' exclusive equipment. They were very powerful. They were the Glas of the Fishmen.
This made the other players very envious. Many non-mainstream races followed suit. For example, the Kobolds ran to the Kobold Tribe, and the Goblins ran to the Goblin Tribe to farm Goblin Reputation.
Among them, Lin Xiao was most impressed by the fact that the two Bearmen had activated their Reputation with the Timbermaw Bearmen and the Deadwood Bearmen. These two tribes were extremely powerful, and even the lowest-leveled player in these two tribes was Level 55.
Originally, this Reputation should have been very difficult to farm, but the two of them decided to work together and crazily sent each other's Reputation. They did not know how many times they died along the way, but they still managed to farm their Reputation. Although they had not reached Worship yet, they were already Reverence and had received a lot of benefits.
After all, the Bearmen were much stronger than the Fishmen and had more value in nurturing.
This made Lin Xiao very envious. However, he had chosen to be a Star Elf. He was definitely the only one in this world, and he could not find a place to farm Reputation.
Fortunately, the Outland Gate was about to open, or rather, it was opening.
There was no need for players to participate. After 10 years, NPCs discovered the Outland Gate. Many players who were doing Reputation Quests with the major factions noticed this, and a small number of elite players participated.
Although Lin Xiao's Reputation in the human faction had reached Reverence, he did not participate. He only silently waited for the Outland Gate to open.
After a long wait, one day, a screen suddenly popped up in front of all the players. A huge ancient door slowly opened, and an endless stream of demons poured out. Naturally, he knew that the Outland Gate had opened.
"Brave warriors, the Outland Gate has opened. It is time to establish your achievements."
After the routine announcement, it was time to focus on this descent.
"The Outland Gate has officially opened. All Descenders above Level 50 must enter the Outland Gate."
"Activate Gaia World Reputation!"
"Activate Outland Native Reputation System!"
"Activate Army Stronghold System!"
"Obtained Merit by killing Nightmare Child!"
"For more details, please explore the Outland Gate yourself!"
A series of notifications flooded the screen. Lin Xiao calmed down and slowly looked through the notifications. He wanted to understand them clearly and not miss out on anything.
The Gate to the Outland was located in the Cursed Land. It was originally a Level 50 leveling spot, and it was filled with Undead creatures that were Level 50 and above. When Lin Xiao and his girlfriend's guild members who were Level 50 and above arrived at the Cursed Land, they saw that more than half of the Cursed Land had been transformed into a gigantic fortress. Countless Level 55 and above Elite soldiers from various races, including humans, Orcs, Elves, and other races, were gathered here, exterminating the Demonic Creatures that poured out of the Gate to the Outland.
He raised his head and looked into the distance. An incomparably thick pillar of green light soared into the sky and spread out layer by layer. The sunlight was blocked, and the world was dark.
The Outlander Gate was located in a large basin with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. There were six huge towers around it, each two to three hundred meters tall. Each of the towers shot out a thick beam of light into the basin, forming a huge net of light that covered the entire basin. It also prevented flying monsters that rushed out of the Outlander Gate from escaping.
At this time, they were still unable to enter the Outland Gate. They had to wait for the NPCs to clear out the demons before sending experts in to establish an outpost.
They received a few killing missions from the quartermaster and formed a large team to enter the basin.
The Warriors lined up in a row with shields. Behind them, more than ten Mages cast Blizzard and Fire Rain respectively. Blizzard was an area of effect spell specialized in ice magic, while Fire Rain was an area of effect spell specialized in fire magic, just like Lin Xiao's Thundercloud.
However, their damage was far inferior to his. Their casting range and Spell AOE were also a whole level lower than his. When he summoned a gigantic thundercloud in the middle of the Demon horde, hundreds of lightning bolts suddenly struck down at the same time, causing damage numbers to skyrocket above his head.
These demons were at least Level 55 and had around 3,000 to 4,000 HP. There were quite a few Elites among them, and each had around 12,000 HP.
With his various equipment and talents, his Thundercloud had been increased by another 200%. A wave of Thundercloud that lasted for 15 seconds could deal more than 10,000 damage to each target. In addition, his level was as high as 68, and he had a level suppression of more than 10 levels over 55. Basically, he could kill all the normal demons in the area in one wave, and beat the elite demons to a low HP or a low HP.
Unfortunately, lightning spells were best at dealing high damage. They did not have any Movement Speed Reduction, nor did they have any Class Talents. If he had the Movement Speed Reduction effect of an Ice Mage, none of these demons would be able to escape.
Level 55 Normal demons did not give any EXP, and only Elite demons gave a few dozen EXP. However, to the team members, who had an average Level of 50 and above, this EXP was great.
It took an entire month and a half to open the Outland Gate. During this time, the NPCs organized experts and Elite soldiers to kill their way into the Outland Gate. However, they were forced to retreat several times and suffered heavy losses. During this time, several Level 70 Lord-tier bosses had died.
In this kind of storyline quest, once a player died, they would die for real. They would never respawn again.
During this time, Lin Xiao had followed them into the Outland Gate once. As soon as he entered, he could feel the violent energy in the void. The first thing he saw was an aurora cutting across the void, surrounded by green lava flowing across the desolate land. The Outland Gate they had opened stood tall on this desolate land. Most of the demons nearby had died, but there were still a large number of demons in the distance.
