Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 740 Black Sword's Tea Party
Any new information?
Hearing Ling Yuzi's words, Xin Lailai shifted her gaze and looked at the pieces of information that Ling Yuzi had found. After seeing the contents clearly, her eyes couldn't help but move.

This is... the recently reset and updated list of spin-off worlds? !

"Let me see, are the buried Fulilian and Witch's Journey both in there?"

Xin Lailai looked at the information in front of him, looked at the names of the worlds listed on it, and after finding the content he needed, a hint of passion appeared in his eyes.

The derivative world is reset and updated.

The former is not a strange term to most contractors. As a consumable for cultivating contractors below the middle and low-level top echelons, once a derivative world is cleared or a serious plot deviation occurs, it will automatically reset under the control of the paradise, and the cycle will repeat.

But the latter is a blind spot in the knowledge of many new contractors, and even quite a number of new contractors have been tricked or fallen into this trap.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple. In fact, in order to ensure that the derivative world can continue to have sufficient training effects on newcomers, every time the paradise resets the derivative world, it will actually make adjustments or modifications to some details to prevent those new contractors from being too dependent on those strategies based on the original and old versions of the derivative world.

Although this adjustment will not deviate from the main route of the derivative world, changes in details often trigger a series of chain reactions.

For example, in the earliest version of the world of Dicuo, although the plot of the original work is the same as going to the northern part of the continent to fight the black dragon after completing the main line of the maze, the black dragon in that version is not sleeping under the world tree as they experienced, but is trapped in the dragon tomb by the huge storm formed by the seal. This is the difference brought about by the update of the derivative world.

Of course, for them, this difference will not hinder their actions. The key lies in the other meaning of the update itself:
Resources.

You have to know that due to the existence of the original work and the guide, the resource output in most of the derivative worlds has long been open and transparent to the contractors, and those unique resources that will never appear again even if they are reset will normally have been plundered by other contractors long ago.

For example, the alchemical notebook that records the alchemical drawings of the sun god Apollo is a unique resource that appeared in the world of Akagi Kill after a certain update, and it has been in a state of non-resettable unique resource for a long time. It was not until the White Night Era, when Apollo began to be popularized in the paradise, that it was gradually decentralized to a resettable exclusive resource.

Including the tree-gnawing version of the black dragon that they had conquered before, when this version of the world of Dicuo just appeared, there was actually an incomplete inheritance of the World Guardian near the world tree. You know, that is a top inheritance that is on par with the Demon Scythe and Wandering Hunter inheritances. Even if it is only incomplete, its value far exceeds the benefits that can be obtained by conquering the derivative world normally.

With these examples, you can probably understand how tempting a newly reset and updated derivative world is. This is also why Xin Lailai showed that kind of reaction when he saw that there were two reset and updated worlds among his alternative worlds.

For a newly reset and updated third-level semi-open world, if you are lucky, it may not be a problem for its output to reach five or even ten small goals.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the park is generous enough in updating the resources inside, and the most valuable unique resources have not been taken away by others for the time being.

"However, if I choose these two worlds, considering the difficulty brought by the update, it will be difficult to choose my teammates..."

From the perspective of revenue, the newly reset and updated World of Frillian and Witch's Journey undoubtedly crushes the other three options, but conversely, the changes in difficulty it brings are also a part that cannot be ignored.

You know, unique resources are good, but it also means that they have to lead people to explore a hidden area that has never been discovered by anyone and is not mentioned in the original book or various guides. In this case, you can tell with your eyes closed that the difficulty of leveling up will increase significantly, and the time they have to study spell theory will probably be reduced a lot. For them, it can be said to be a real tightrope-walking option.

"Well, if there is a way to ensure the safety of those new contractors, explore the hidden areas, and not require us to take action, that would be great."

"We can't help it. The benefits of a world are limited. We can't coerce and bribe a few top-tier guys to serve as our guarantors at the cost of reduced benefits... huh?!"

Wait, find other top-tier people to serve as bodyguards for them?
Ling Yuzi on the side was also thinking about it, and muttered subconsciously with Xin Lailai. Then, the two of them were stunned in the middle of their conversation, and suddenly looked at each other, with extremely bright light in their eyes.

They... seem to have thought of a solution to this problem.

……

The astral world, somewhere.

Boom——! !

The deafening roar of thunder rang out from the world covered by lightning. On the golden sea of ​​thunder, Yamu was seen sitting cross-legged on a small platform, constantly drawing the world thunder to temper his body. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the communication channel at the edge of his sight. After clicking on the content inside, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"These two guys have more weird ideas than the other..."

After figuring out what someone was planning to do, Yamu rubbed his brows helplessly, looked at the message on the chat bar, and didn't know what to say for a moment, but in the end he laughed out loud and sent a message to the other party.

Whatever, it's not a big deal anyway, I'll just get involved, and...

Yamu looked at the communication channel in front of him, and a hint of curiosity flashed across his golden pupils.

He was somewhat curious about what impact this move by the other party would have on the current internal environment of the park.

……

Sanctuary paradise, golden avenue.

"Wow? You've been fighting in a native world for half a year? I was wondering why you, Liu Bing, suddenly disappeared without a trace. How come you're involved in such a big mission?"

"Stop talking, BYD. I was thinking I could show off to you guys after I came back this time, but when I came back I found out that the environment of the park had changed so much, and I completely missed the opportunity to visit the Dead Sea ruins you mentioned. I feel like all my sufferings over the past six months were completely in vain."

In a box by the window, a young man wearing a dark blue robe and with long ice-blue hair was lying on his back on the seat, saying with a look of hopelessness on his face. He was none other than Liubing, the independent contractor who had survived the God Eater world with Motian, Fenghuo and others and then disappeared without a trace.

"Haha, who told you to stay in the native world for so long? Besides, haven't you made it to the top echelon? If you hold on a little longer, maybe you'll have a chance to get into the outside world?"

"Tsk tsk, Lao Bing, this is a question of choice. Look at us, we are clinging to the thigh of Black Sword Boss. Now we are eating and drinking well, and we have even made it to the top echelon. This is the importance of choice."

Feng Huo, who was standing by, heard Liu Bing's complaint and laughed. Mo Tian, ​​who was sitting opposite him, also laughed twice and boasted to Liu Bing with a smug look on his face, which made Liu Bing's expression twitch. He wanted to refute something, but thinking of the news he learned after his return, he could only complain with a sad face:
"Stop talking. Fuck. When I think about how you guys managed to get to the top echelon by sucking up to others while I was suffering in the Ice Prison, I have the urge to slap myself twice." As a solo mage, after experiencing the God Eater world, he quickly rushed to the top echelon and was promoted to the third level with the capital accumulated in the War World. At the same time, he got an extremely special opportunity.

Later, relying on this opportunity, he triggered an exclusive hidden mission with extremely rich rewards in a native world. After being tortured by cold poison, the temperature of minus 270 degrees Celsius, and various tests for nearly half a year, he finally inherited the heritage intact, switched to the profession of a battle mage who practiced both magic and skills, and his strength leapt to the top level in one go.

It can be said that when he woke up from his exclusive room, Liu Bing was even imagining that after his return this time, he would leave Motian and others two or three levels behind and catch up with Xin Lailai who led them in the God Eater world, and become the big boss in the eyes of others.

As a result, when he opened the park's express news and communication channel, he found out that due to the Dead Sea ruins, the number of top-level teams in the park has experienced a huge explosion.

And Motian and others, with the help of Xin Lailai, managed to reach the top echelon in an extremely easy and comfortable way. Chijia and A Zheng had also reached the super top echelon level half a month ago with the resources obtained from the Dead Sea ruins, which directly shattered the smile on their faces. They wished they could travel through time to the past and strangle themselves to death for choosing to suffer in the native world.

After all, at that time, he thought that if he missed this opportunity, there might not be such a good way to obtain resources in the entire third level, so he forced himself to stay for so long despite the pain that was several times higher than the normal standard.

After the results came out, he realized that the profit he had made in there for half a year might not even be as high as what someone else had earned by spending half a month to conquer a medium to high difficulty world from the ruins of the Dead Sea.

The shock was no less than when you painstakingly purchase a set of top-notch equipment while playing games, and are excitedly putting on the equipment to show off to your friends, only to suddenly learn that during the time when you were not socializing and working hard to purchase the equipment, a big guy gave away hundreds of sets of equipment of equal value to the entire server for free, and the friend you were planning to show off to also received one.

"Tsk, forget it. After all this trouble, I have finally figured it out. A guy like Black Sword Boss is simply not something that ordinary people can catch up with."

After venting his anger for a while, Liu Bing sighed helplessly and said as if he had accepted his fate.

Precisely because he had reached the top echelon and even achieved a strong level there, he became more aware of how huge the gap was between himself and the black-haired young man who had led them in the past. It was no longer something that could be made up by a single opportunity, but a state that could only be achieved after maximizing opportunities, qualifications, and efforts.

"That's right~! Isn't it just a waste of yourself to always compare yourself with Black Sword Boss? I heard from Captain Zheng that the training intensity of Black Sword Boss's group is really life-threatening. They don't even have much time to sleep. After returning, they don't enjoy themselves at all. Lao Bing, are you planning to do that to yourself?"

"Well, forget it..."

After imagining in his mind a scene where he didn't eat or drink and only thought about practicing every day, and couldn't even have a good time to entertain himself after returning from the world, Liu Bing shook his head somewhat awkwardly.

He knows his own character best. If he really tortures himself like a robot just to become stronger, it would be better to kill him.

The half year of hard training in the native world alone was enough to leave him with a psychological trauma. If he were to escalate this and carry it out for the rest of his life, he would probably go crazy before he even reached the external level.

"So, just be yourself and that's all! Anyway, I admire you, but if I really have to follow the way Black Sword does, I won't be envious."

"In the final analysis, there's nothing wrong with being stuck at the top echelon for your entire life and eventually being demoted and retired as an employee. What's more, Lao Bing, you're in the super top echelon now. If you work your way up, you might even have a chance to become the strongest or even the strongest."

Motian shrugged his shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, while Fenghuo and Guntanquanfa beside him nodded in agreement, but then added:
"Of course, if possible, I would like to strive for the strongest one."

"Indeed, at least we can make it to the ninth level. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. The probability of the top third-level team surviving to the ninth level seems to be more than 80%, right?"

"Uh, I remember that the probability of those who retired halfway and became workers and then reached the ninth level was also taken into account, right?"

"That's high too. Are you planning to be the remaining 20%?"

"...Emm, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit embarrassing if this doesn't work out."

The three of them were talking to each other, and Liu Bing looked at this scene with a bit of joy and nonsensical atmosphere, and subconsciously smiled. Finally, he chuckled and said:

"Pfft! Can't you guys be more ambitious? After all, we are now in the top echelon and the super top echelon. From the upper limit, we have the potential to become the strongest and the super strongest?"

"Bah! Who are you trying to fool? I'm not stupid. That thing can't be solved by hard work alone~!"

"Well, although I really want to give you some chicken soup, what Motian said is right. There are too many factors other than hard work involved in that thing."

"By the way, don't just talk about us, what about you, Lao Bing? Tsk tsk, you're already at the top of the super-top echelon, why don't you give it a try?"

"Yeah, that's true...Okay! I've decided. From now on, I'll aim to be the best!"

"Oh my god, is this true? Then won't you always be in the top echelon?"

"What else? At least I have to make sure I can reach a higher level. Otherwise, all the suffering I've gone through will be in vain."

"Oh my god, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Haha, then I'll be waiting to cling to your thighs, Lao Bing! Tsk tsk, having a top-notch and powerful brother, I can enjoy the best of everything~!"

In the box, several people were talking and laughing. At this moment, Gundan Quanfa, who was flipping through a newspaper and reading a forum, suddenly widened his eyes, spit out a mouthful of drink, and shouted:
"Hey, Liubing, take a look at this! It looks like you have a chance to participate in this thing!"

"Uh, wait, let me see what it is first... Holy shit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Liubing over. When Liubing saw the content above, his eyes widened suddenly:

《Urgent publication! The strongest tier 3 wizard Black Sword has decided to invite all the top tier 3 wizards to jointly host a "tea party among wizards" in the next world!!!》
