A Touch of Sunshine looked into the distance. The speaker was none other than the vice leader of Mad Purgatory Dragon, the person who had just stolen the Seventy-two Demon Armament Heaven Suppressing Chains from Candlelight Shadow, Warsky, and He Yi. He had a divine weapon in his hands.
"What is it?" A Touch of Sunshine said coolly.
Roaming Dragon laughed softly. "Nothing, just wanted to chat with you. Come over. If you want to defeat Black Iron Sword, then make a deal with me. Otherwise, you will never be his match..."
A Touch of Sunshine was silent for a moment. He walked straight toward Roaming Dragon, Coldmoon Rose, and the others.
… …
I stood on the empty ground and refused to continue fighting. I took the prize money and was about to leave when someone called me from behind. "Brother Black Iron Sword, please wait, we have something important to discuss."
Goosebumps rose on my skin. I slowly turned around and saw Wang Dongliang and Long Breath behind me.
"What is it?" I asked.
Wang Dongliang smiled and spread his hands. "The match where you defeated A Touch of Sunshine was very, very exciting. Haha, Mad Purgatory Dragon is always thirsty for talent. As the guild leader, I sincerely invite you to join Mad Purgatory Dragon. If you are willing to join, we are willing... to give you the position of vice leader and give you a very mysterious gift."
I thought for a moment. "Oh, what gift?"
"Heaven Suppressing Chains."
I shuddered. "The Seventy-two Demon Armament Heaven Suppressing Chains? I think you bought it from the auction house for 2 E?"
"Yes."
Wang Dongliang said proudly, "But those who can possess the Heaven Suppressing Chains are not ordinary. From my judgment, you are far stronger than A Touch of Sunshine, and you have the strength to challenge Warsky, Farewell Song, Candlelight Shadow, and even Lu Chen. So we invite you to join Mad Purgatory Dragon. If you sign a contract with us, the Heaven Suppressing Chains will be yours. You will be part of the management of Mad Purgatory Dragon."
I took a deep breath and shook my head. "Never mind, I'm leaving."
"Hey, wait, how can you say you're not interested? What is the reason? Why are you not willing to join Mad Purgatory Dragon?" Wang Dongliang was a bit anxious.
I smiled faintly. "The name is not nice..."
Wang Dongliang: "..."
I shook off Wang Dongliang's hand and ran into the city. After that, I took off my Master of Disguise ring and equipped the Apparition Ring before heading out to meet up with He Yi and Lin Yixin. The two girls were overjoyed to have made a fortune, and they had already set up a stall at a corner of the eastern plaza. Business was booming because there were simply too many players who had come to see these super beauties.
…
I sat down next to Lin Yixin and set up a stall to take up space. At the same time, I put up a couple of cool equipment.
He Yi shot me a glance. "Did Wang Dongliang try to recruit you?"
I nodded, "Yup, it's a good thing that I'm using the Dark Iron Sword identity. They can't find this person's friend list …"
Lin Yixin said, "Wang Dongliang was right about one thing. Mad Purgatory Dragon is desperate for talent, and Little Piglet's departure immediately turned him into a thorn in their side. Wang Dongliang really needs someone strong enough to deal with Little Piglet, who is always on the lookout for revenge. I'm sure Mad Purgatory Dragon is trying to recruit you and A Ray of Sunshine after the battle at the eastern gate. That's amazing …"
He Yi laughed softly. "Yeah, Lu Chen killed A Ray of Sunshine without using any skills. That Ray of Sunshine's skills have already surfaced. He has attack, movement speed, AoE, recovery, and AoE skills. He's a perfect seedling for a mounted player. His only flaw is that his equipment is a bit lacking. If he can improve himself a bit, he'll become a very good expert."
I said, "Wang Dongliang and Roaming Dragon want to use the Heaven Suppressing Chain as bait to attract super experts to their side. Forget about the CGL Hall of Famers, it's more than enough to attract A Ray of Sunshine."
Lin Yixin stuck out her tongue and giggled. "If A Ray of Sunshine had the Heaven Suppressing Chain, you wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily. 100% lifesteal, you know …"
I spread my hands. "The prerequisite for 100% lifesteal is that I can hit him. If I use my skills, I have 50% confidence that I can successfully bind him with God Binding Art. Then I can just kill him. If I use Unfettered Lock, he might even drop a Heaven Suppressing Chain …"
He Yi laughed softly. "So shameless …"
Me: "..."
… …
About 20 minutes later, while we were chatting, a system bell reverberated in the sky above Sky City.
"Ding ~"
System Announcement (Player Wang Dongliang Shout): Congratulations to player "A Ray of Sunshine" for joining Mad Purgatory Dragon and becoming one of the main players of the Mad Purgatory Dragon game base for three years. He has also obtained the right to use the Heaven Suppressing Chain. In addition, we have specially forged a full set of heavy armor for him: [Wind of Purgatory Armor] (Level 220 Archean Immortal-grade), [Soaring Heaven Gauntlets] (Level 215 Immortal-grade), [Thunder Rend Helmet] (Level 210 Immortal-grade), [Fire Beacon War Boots] (Level 220 Immortal-grade), and [Atra Cape] (Level 210 Immortal-grade). I hereby solemnly announce that every strong player who joins Mad Purgatory Dragon will be recognized and valued by us. The top 5 guilds of Mad Purgatory Dragon welcome every player with dreams to join us.
… …
I looked at the equipment on the system announcement and sighed. "Damn, they spent at least 300 million RMB to forge a Ray of Sunshine. They're really going all out …"
Lin Yixin looked up his ID and said, "A Touch of Sunshine isn't the vice leader of Mad Purgatory Dragon yet. It looks like they'll have to meet offline to sign the contract. Otherwise, Wang Dongliang and Lu Chao wouldn't have given him the Heaven Suppressing Chain so easily."
I nodded, "Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. This equipment's value is too high. 100% lifesteal is a godly attribute."
He Yi smiled. "Given Lu Chao and Wang Dongliang's way of doing things, I'm guessing that they'll get a Ray of Sunshine in 24 hours. Then, they'll begin the fusion process and make Ray of Sunshine one of their own."
I smiled. "Let's go offline and eat. Let's see what we need to do tonight."
"En!"
…
In the end, I didn't have much to do at night, so I went to the arena with Beiming Xue, He Yi, and I fought for almost 3 hours. My ranking returned to the Top 100, and no matter how high my win rate was, my ranking would drop if I didn't fight for too long. The Top 10000 players in the arena would receive EXP rewards every week, and since I was 59th, I would receive about 17% of the EXP reward. It was pretty good. If I couldn't level up in the future, then relying on the arena to level up was a good choice. However, it was too difficult to return to the Top 100. The total number of participants in the Top 10 was over 30,000.
I logged off at 11 and went to bed at 12.
While I was half-asleep, my phone suddenly rang. I touched it and saw that it was Gui Guzi's number.
"Little Gui, what is it?"
"Boss Broken Halberd announced that Heavenblessed's new patch will be available in 48 hours at midnight sharp. Did you see it?"
I glanced at the time. "Fuck, it's only 12: 05. How can I see it …"
Gui Guzi said, "Then get up and go take a look. You and Boss Eve should plan for the new patch. I feel that we should prepare for a rainy day. We can't fall behind others, or we'll be easily suppressed. Also, the new patch is very special, and the structure of the continent will change greatly. That's all. I'll go dungeon with Little Li."
"Alright."
I sat up and said, "Then I'll go look at the details of the new patch with Eve. Work hard to get your mounts to Level 200. Maybe their stats will increase. No matter what impact the new patch will have on the game, it's only right that we maintain our strength."
"Mn, I'll go."
I hung up and Gui Guzi went to dungeon. I put on a shirt and started up my laptop. I knocked on He Yi's door and asked, "Is Eve asleep?"
He Yi's lazy voice came from inside. "Not yet, right?"
"Mn."
I pushed the door open and was greeted by a faint fragrance. A woman's room was always different from a man's.
… …
He Yi turned on the bedside lamp in the dark. The faint yellow light cast into the room made it seem peaceful and serene.
"What's wrong, Lu Chen? It's the middle of the night." He Yi stared at me. I couldn't see her expression because of the darkness, but I could hear her teasing smile. "Don't tell me it's really like Mingyue said? I'm not mentally prepared today. Maybe next time …"
I was speechless. "What are you talking about? There's a new patch …"
"Oh."
I sat down on the bed and put down the computer. I opened the game's official website. As expected, a line of blood-red words appeared on the homepage.
[New Patch Descend]: Chaotic Crusade
Introduction: A mysterious power is stirring in the depths of the ancient continent. The former Dragon Speaker, Ming Yu, followed the guidance of the power to a ruin. His power continued to recover, and he was finally able to summon the army of death from hell. In less than half a year, Ming Yu had built an incredibly powerful army in the ruins, and he had the support of an expert like Michael. The other side was the Endless Storm?
Coldblade and the Blade of Death?
The two powerful Purgatory Emperors, Thunder and Thunder, have also appeared in the ruins with their armies of death. Guided by the power of death, the ruins are undergoing earth-shattering changes. The human faction, led by Sky City Karinshan, is anxiously preparing for battle. The drums of war are ready to be sounded. For the sake of dignity and survival, a world-shaking battle is about to begin on the ancient continent.
[Version Introduction]: After the Chaotic Crusade is released, players can join the Silver Moon Alliance, which is composed of humans, succubi, elves, and other races. They will enter the Chaotic Lands and kill Night Creatures to earn points. Finally, Ming Yu's death will announce the official release of the new patch. Players from every server are allowed to participate. The top 10000 players on the final leaderboard will be rewarded handsomely. The first player on the leaderboard will receive one of the twelve Divine Equipment. The second and third players will receive one of the seventy-two Demon Equipment.
