Sure enough, the reward for an MVP player was generous. Aside from leveling up, there was actually 1 point of Luck. Luck was something that greatly increased a player's ability to trigger certain skills. Perhaps, it also increased the drop rate of items. However, the game's officials had yet to announce this.
Bing Cha reached Level 199, and I reached Level 188 with 87% experience. If I worked hard for another night, I could reach Level 189 without a problem.
This time, there was no suspense in the battle. Xue Yue had won the battle with absolute superiority, sweeping away all the first-rate experts of the French Server. From this, it could be seen that in the future, our main opponents would still be the Korean Server.
Swhoosh!
All the players who participated in the battle were teleported out of the territory. I went to the territory's hall, and Ling Xue and Ling Yue followed me. When I submitted the recruitment request for territory NPC soldiers, Ling Xue came over and said with a smile, "Scholar, my sister and I are taking a plane tomorrow morning. We'll probably reach Suzhou tonight."
"Ah?
Really?! "I was overjoyed.
"Of course!"
I went up to hug Ling Xue and said with a smile, "It's good that you're back."
Ling Xue said, "But you haven't even found Sister Qin Yun yet."
"This is a difficult matter. Ling Yue, please do it. I'm really troubled."
"Alright." Ling Yue was straightforward. "I'll definitely succeed!"
I nodded and continued to inspect the territory. I asked, "Where's Bing Cha?"
"He took Sister Qin Yun to level up solo!"
"Heh, he's quite passionate about leveling up!"
"Of course, a High-grade Immortal-grade armor set. Anyone would be passionate about leveling up if they gave it to them!" Ling Xue said.
I could tell that even though Ling Xue didn't say anything, she was wearing a full set of Sub-celestial equipments, but she had to give the Fate Set to Bing Cha. It was impossible for her not to feel aggrieved.
So I patted Ling Xue's shoulder and said, "When I reach Level 200, we'll find a super difficult quest and help Ling Xue get a set of Saint-grade armor!"
"I am already satisfied with a set of middle-grade immortal artifacts." Ling Xue chuckled.
"Yup. In short, there will always be equipment."
Not long after, the long-awaited system maintenance announcement finally rang —
Ding ~!
System Announcement: In 120 minutes, Spirit of Grief's servers will enter a maintenance phase and will reopen in 15 hours. The new version will be online, the dungeon system will be open, and the WSL team recruitment quest will begin. The first season of the WSL competition will officially begin in 10 days. For more information, please check the official website!
…
"Heh!
The Instance Dungeon is finally going to be opened. It's good news for low and mid-tier players! "Ling Xue said with a smile.
"Yes, there's also the WSL competition. It's good news for us players who can't stand the loneliness."
"Yes, then we'll go offline and prepare."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Call me when you get off the plane."
"Okay!"
Ling Xue and Ling Yue went offline. I looked at my pet space and found that Ling Er was still asleep. However, there was a countdown. There were still 12 hours left. This meant that after the maintenance was over, I could go online and summon Ling Er again!
I came to the outskirts of the territory alone. There were still two hours until the server maintenance. What should I do?
After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Ancient Qin's Barren Tomb. Right, go over and take a look. Beating up Imperial Souls would be fun!
Thus, I urged my horse over.
Unexpectedly, the Ancient Qin's Barren Tomb was no longer as desolate as when I first came. Now, the Ancient Qin's Barren Tomb was about to become a tourist attraction. Large groups of players gathered here to grind levels. Usually, when a Spear Soldier spawned, seven or eight blades would be pressed to its face and then dismembered.
The player base of White Cloud City was just too big. Although the Spirit of Grief map was huge, the monsters in the Outer Lands were just too strong. It was not something that normal players could handle. Thus, it was even more obvious that dungeons were needed.
Any team of five or ten players could enter an independent dungeon map to grind and level up. This way, players would be able to reduce the pain of competing for territory to level up. Moreover, a full set of Gold, Dark Gold, Earth-grade, Heaven-grade, Ghost-grade, Ghost-grade, and even Quasi-Immortal-grade equipment could be obtained from the dungeon. With these amazing equipment, players would have the strength to challenge the Outland. Only then would they be able to progress the game's storyline.
However, the equipment in dungeons was definitely not the final goal. If you wanted equipment that was higher than Sub-Immortal-grade, then you had to fight extremely difficult bosses like the Elf King in the Outer Lands.
Therefore, dungeons were just a transitional phase, not the ultimate goal for players.
After I failed to find the Ancient Qin's Barren Tomb, I went to the Floating Ice Tower. The map here had changed slightly. There were green vines between the Floating Ice Tower and the ground. Any player could climb up and kill monsters. As a result, the Floating Ice Tower was exposed and became a tourist attraction with a sea of people.
The beautiful leveling spot when I was a noob had been taken over. When I went up the Floating Ice Tower, pairs of wary eyes immediately stared at me as if I was an uninvited guest.
"Friend, do you want to form a party and grind together?
If you have armor, then roll. If you don't, just be a tank, "a heavy armor warrior said with a chuckle.
I shook my head. "Nope."
The other's eyes immediately turned green. "What?
Nope?
Do you think you can survive here alone? "
I stilled. "The monsters here don't seem to have such high levels, do they?
I'm confident that I can handle them. "
The heavy armor warrior's smile grew wider. "You're new here, right?
The scariest thing here aren't the monsters, but the players! "
I instantly understood. What he meant was that if I didn't join the team, they would kick me out of the arena. This was their territory.
Sigh, how could there be a pure leveling spot in this world?
Players were too utilitarian. Back then, a small greeting could bring a new friend to grind for the night. How could there be such friendships now? It wasn't that people weren't as they were in the past, but that the world had changed.
"What?
Are you going to join the party or leave? "The heavy armor warrior laughed and flashed his sword." Or should we send you on your way? "
I chuckled and asked, "Why do you play games?"
"Money and women!" The other person answered quickly and confidently.
"Oh, is that so?"
I activated the light of my Oracle War Boots. Instantly, in the dark space, the boots gave off a holy halo.
The heavy armor warrior was stunned and laughed coldly. "So, you're an expert!"
He looked around and a dozen players immediately surrounded me.
I continued to activate the light of the Oracle legguards and wristguards.
They stilled again. Then, I activated the light of my Oracle equipment set. The light was so bright that it illuminated the entire Floating Ice Tower.
"Damn!
A set of high-level equipment?! "The heavy armor warrior was dumbfounded.
An assassin had already entered stealth and asked, "Boss, should we kill him?"
The heavy armor warrior was dumbfounded and did not answer.
I also activated the light of the Burning Soul Sword. At the same time, I raised my sword and pressed it against the assassin's throat. This was to tell him that I could see him!
"Ge Ge..."
The assassin made a sound of fear in his throat.
I activated my name. In an instant, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
"It's... it's... Frivolous Scholar..."
The emblem of Dream of the Snow Moon shone brightly and floated on my arm. It was very eye-catching. It told them that the person standing here was the former number one expert.
I smiled. "Are you going to kill me?"
"No... it's really... a misunderstanding..." The heavy armor warrior stammered, his face red.
This group belonged to a guild, a small, unknown guild. There were thousands of such small gangs in White Cloud City!
… …
I was silent and looked at the group. They felt their hairs stand on end, afraid that I would take their lives at any moment.
"Forget it, Ling Xue will be back tomorrow. I'm in a good mood, so I won't bother with them!" I thought.
"Hey, what do you do in real life?" I asked.
The heavy armor warrior had a shocked expression and said in a low voice, "We are university students. They are my classmates, second-year students..."
"Do you think you are bad people?"
"No..." The heavy armor warrior was very self-aware and said, "But in the game, we just want to indulge ourselves completely..."
"If you are not bad people, why do you make yourself so lowly in the game?
Are you a pervert? "I asked.
The heavy armor warrior smiled. "Well, the pressure of society is too great. It seems a bit perverted."
I also smiled. "You have to pay for what you do. If you clear out too much, one day you will be cleared out by someone else."
I looked at the group. They were all around Level 150, not bad.
Thus, I said, "You can leave your guild and join my guild."
"Okay!"
The dozen or so people all had happy expressions. As for why I wanted them to join my guild, I didn't know. They probably looked friendly.
However, if Ling Xue knew, the little beauty would definitely flip out. What kind of people did I accept into my guild? They were all a bunch of smelly hooligans!
Actually, the original main force of Snow Moon, Sword Fire and Flying Fire, were a bunch of hooligans. There was no need to mention perverts like Melancholy. I definitely wouldn't accept sanctimonious people. Those people were always full of bad ideas, worse than hooligans.
But after I accepted these people, they all called me boss intimately. It was like we had become a family.
As for me, I also had to go offline. There would be a system maintenance soon, and I would only be back online in 15 hours. That would be around 8 o 'clock tomorrow.
… …
At night, due to the server maintenance, everyone decided to go out for a big meal. Naturally, it was me, the acting boss, who treated them. Summer wasn't here, so only five people were gathered.
"Why don't we call Sister Qin Yun?" Bing Cha suggested.
"Okay!"
I immediately took out my phone and called Qin Yun's number.
"Scholar, what is it?" Qin Yun quickly picked up.
"Let's eat dinner together!
Ten Mile Fragrance Restaurant, Shiquan Street! "
"Ah?
Now? "
"Yes. You can drive over, right?"
"Okay, you guys go first. I'll be there soon."
“ok！”
After hanging up, I felt even better. Qin Yun was finally willing to come out.
The five people of the workshop were stuffed into a car, and we got on the road like spring. There was snow on both sides of the road in the city, and it was still snowing. It seemed to be telling us that the blizzard hadn't gone away yet, and that it would come back at any time.
After we arrived at the restaurant, Bing Cha and the others went to the second floor to order food. I stayed on the first floor to wait for Qin Yun.
Less than ten minutes later, a familiar A6 drove over. I hurriedly walked out and opened the door for it. A wave of air conditioning rushed out, and a beautiful face appeared in front of me. I hadn't seen Qin Yun for many days, but she was still as beautiful as ever.
"Ugh …"
Qin Yun looked at me, unsure of what to say. I didn't say anything either.
There was a saying that goes, "Face each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears". We didn't have any tears, but we finally met again after a long time, and we didn't know where to start.
At this time, a traffic policeman shouted from afar, "Stop the car!"
"Heh ~"
Qin Yun smiled and parked the car again. Then, she went to the second floor with me.
The second floor was a good place. For example, a recreational bathing area. When you went in to take a shower, someone would always come over and ask, "Sir, do you want to go to the second floor?"
Going to the second floor was actually a way to have fun. In ancient times, women would gather in brothels, but in today's society, all the beautiful women were gathered on the second floor.
Of course, we were going to the second floor to eat.
I didn't know when, but Qin Yun reached out and held my arm. She probably didn't even notice the small movement herself. It was probably just a habit.
I didn't say anything. It's not like you'll get pregnant if you hold my arm.
… …
"Hehe, Sister Qin Yun, you're here. Come and sit!" Bing Cha was very enthusiastic, and he shot me a look.
I didn't understand, but I still sat next to Qin Yun.
As Qin Yun and Luo Yu chatted silently, I suddenly received a message from Bing Cha. "Scholar, drink less today. Let's get Sister Qin Yun drunk!"
I was surprised and looked up at Bing Cha. The girl was smiling mischievously.
"Why?" I looked down and replied.
Bing Cha replied, "Idiot!
After we get her drunk, we'll take her back to the studio!
If she doesn't want to come back, we'll kidnap her! "
"That's not good, right? We didn't ask for her permission!"
"Idiot!
There's a kind of feeling called rejection. Do you understand? "
"Well, what about her luggage? What about clothes?"
"You buy it for her!"
Bing Cha looked up and smiled at me. That was very rude.
I replied, "You want me to buy her underwear?"
"Well, that's fine."
I was completely speechless. Never mind, it's not a bad idea. Let's do that!
… …
"Waiter, how much is the best red wine you have here?" I turned around and asked.
The girl replied, "The best red wine is 4500 RMB. Do you want to open it?"
"Open …"
"Peng!" The door opened.
"Are you kidding me!" I glared at her.
The girl almost cried. "This …"
I smiled. "I'm just kidding. If you want to open it, then open it. Bring two more bottles over!"
The girl also smiled. "Okay, please wait a moment."
Qin Yun pulled my sleeve and asked, "Why do you need so much wine? Is one bottle enough?"
"I'm happy today!"
"Oh, why are you happy?"
"Because it's almost New Year …"
"… …"
Qin Yun looked at me suspiciously. She seemed to guess something and pursed her lips into a smile. She didn't say anything.
