Jiang Qiao issued an extermination mission. The extermination mission meant that no living creature was allowed to live within a 700-meter radius of the starting stronghold.
This mission was issued after Jiang Qiao confirmed that Leila's soldiers had left Brandt Island.
As for why it was within a 700-meter radius, it was because the Holy Ghost System's maximum effective range was 1.5 kilometers.
This was a setting that Jiang Qiao had only recently learned about. For example, a player's anti-tank cannon might have a range of more than 1.5 kilometers, but after that range, the knock-up effect, backstab effect, and the like would not appear.
Similarly, the furthest the players could see a monster's HP bar was only 1.5 kilometers.
This range could be increased by collecting Hai Lan's Shard of Divinity. Now that Hai Lan was in a + 1 state, the system's effective range had been increased to 1.5 kilometers.
After Jiang Qiao announced the battlefield mission, a pale yellow hunting zone spread out with Queen Mey as Miss Cat as the center.
This was a unique skill of the Hunter class, Tracking. The effect was to mark out a specific enemy on the map for a certain period of time.
Jiang Qiao was using an enhanced version of Tracking. Within a 700-meter radius around Queen Mey, all living creatures other than the players, Queen Mey, and the Knight of the Lion were marked out. However, plants that posed no threat were not included.
The moment the pale yellow hunting sphere spread out, a large number of HP bars appeared in front of the players who were browsing through the missions, fighting, or chatting in the starting stronghold.
This time, Jiang Qiao had set up a reward system that was based on the Players' HP and the last hit they dealt to the monster. For example, a monster with 10 contribution points would be rewarded.
For example, if a player killed a monster with 10 contribution points, they would be rewarded with all 10 contribution points and 30% of the monster's HP bar, which was an additional 3 contribution points.
There was a total of 13 Contribution Points. This design ensured that while the players were focused on hunting down a single monster, it also stimulated their fighting spirit. It could also be said that while the players were passionate about killing monsters, a player who had worked so hard to kill monsters would not end up with nothing to show for it.
As for the healers and support players, Jiang Qiao could only apologize.
The huge pile of HP bars appeared in the players' vision for a few seconds before disappearing.
The HP bars of the monsters were displayed in a pulsating manner. Every five minutes, the HP bars of all the monsters within a 700-meter radius would be displayed to the players.
There were a total of 23,000 monsters in the entire area. Their average level was between level 10 and 45. There were more than 1,000 elite monsters and only three lord monsters.
There were more than 600 players in the initial foothold, chatting with Freya in the tree hole, or secretly taking pictures of Freya's sleeping posture.
At the current stage, the Saint Ghost server only had 1,700 max-leveled players. The server's maximum capacity had also exceeded 5,000 and officially entered 5,100.
600 top-tier players were enough to kill every living thing within a 700-meter radius.
Jiang Qiao watched as the players walked out of the tree hole one after another. It was still the eight major guilds that organized the hunt.
Every guild leader who wanted to compete for the title of the number one guild in the Saint Ghost server knew what it meant.
"Old Song, let's split the 20 Rare Stronghold Seeds among the eight guilds," Remnant Heart suggested when he saw Mo Shigui walking out of the tree hole.
"It's six guilds. The guild leaders of Sovereign Descent and Grey Eye Society aren't online," said Full Moon, the guild leader of Night Scamper.
Mo Shigui ignored Remnant Heart's suggestion. He immediately gathered his guild members and walked toward the forest.
"Old Song!
Are you trying to rob us? "
Remnant Heart saw that Mo Shigui didn't stop walking, so he knew that Mo Shigui didn't want to discuss how to split the loot.
"The 20 Rare Stronghold Seeds don't belong to the eight major guilds. Do you think we can just split them?
You were killed by passersby in the wild when you were playing the game, right? "Mo Shigui said and rushed into the forest with his team.
"How many years ago was that?"
Remnant Heart's dark history of gaming was brought up in front of Mo Shigui and he looked a little embarrassed.
Remnant Heart was a professional player in the Abyss Temple. However, he was also a retired player like Zhao Mingwei. When Remnant Heart was young, he used to steal monsters all over the world in the game and was tortured by Zhao Mingwei. Mo Shigui knew Zhao Mingwei a long time ago, so the three of them became enemies a few years ago.
"Master Xiao!
Are we going to steal monsters from Old Song? "
When Remnant Heart was thinking about how to do it, he met Zhao Mingwei who was walking toward Freya's tree hole with a bed on his shoulder.
He had just come online an hour ago and finished the quest to deliver a bed to Freya.
"I have a guild." Zhao Mingwei smiled politely and carried the bed into the tree hole.
"Guild master, the other guilds have left." One Arm of the Abyss Temple reminded Remnant Heart.
"Gather!
Gather as many Stronghold Seeds as you can!
Get the strongest person in the guild! "Remnant Heart was provoking them, but it seemed like the Nucleus Guild was planning to take all the Stronghold Seeds.
Jiang Qiao watched them pick up their weapons and rush into the forest again. He didn't feel anything. Zhao Mingwei quickly put down the bed and walked out of the tree hole.
"Guild master." Zhao Mingwei raised his hand and waved at Jiang Qiao.
"Guild master?
Oh … I almost forgot if you didn't remind me. "
Jiang Qiao almost forgot that he also had a guild called Nameless. There were only five members in the guild, including Zhao Mingwei, Lin Xi, and Xia Shan, who Jiang Qiao had just recruited.
It was weird … Jiang Qiao's guild didn't need to increase the price of healing.
"Should we gather and steal a Stronghold Seed?" Zhao Mingwei asked.
"Isn't it better for you to go with Mo Shigui and the others?"
Jiang Qiao didn't know what to do. Although he was the leader, as a player, Jiang Qiao was only a powerful Elemental Summoner.
If Zhao Mingwei really wanted a rare item like the Hardstone Settlement Seed, he should have followed the Nuclear Guild.
The Stronghold Stone could be traded. All the Stronghold Stones could be traded. The drop rate of a normal Stronghold Stone was very low. It was almost the same as an Epic equipment.
A Rare Stronghold Stone was even rarer. Even if Zhao Mingwei didn't use it to build a Stronghold, he could probably sell it for 500 to 600 gold coins. Even one or two thousand gold coins wouldn't be too much.
"The Battle of Divinity gave me a headache. I want to relax in this new map," Zhao Mingwei said.
"Relax?
Let me think. Why don't we go and steal Rare monsters? "
Jiang Qiao thought for a while and decided to greet the Spell Stealers around the starting Stronghold.
