How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"Brother Guang, are you talking about rankings? But this thing only rewards those materials. We don't care about the blueprints, so there's no use for them. Besides, ordinary players can't see rankings."

the deputy asked curiously.

As a result, he was hit on the head by the backlight.

"Ordinary players can't see the rankings, so won't the guild members brag about it? Also, I'm not just letting you see the rankings, I want you to know that other guilds are also participating in this event."

"So what if other guilds get involved..."

The deputy muttered.

The others were also somewhat puzzled.

Ni Guang sighed and did not answer directly, but asked, "How much do you think the overall strength of our guild is different from that of Empire Epic, Star Mythology, Rose Heart, and Ares?"

"not much."

Everyone knew that the top ten guilds in the empire were divided into three levels.

Baofeng is in the first tier, the five guilds mentioned by Niguang are in the second tier, and the rest are in the third tier.

Ni Guang then explained, "So what do you think? If they get this blueprint and their strength is similar, will they perform better than us in the fortress battle?"

"With so many guild members, the overall strength will improve very slowly. However, this kind of blueprint directly affects war weapons, so the improvement is particularly obvious."

the most important is.

Ni Guang explained to everyone the difficult and expert levels of the three dungeons and the rewards for first-time clearance.

Everyone then realized that the difficult difficulty level actually rewarded blueprint fragments of small war weapons, and the expert difficulty level rewarded blueprint fragments of ordinary war weapons. If they wanted to obtain them normally, they would have to complete a lot of guild tasks to get them.

"So now you understand, it's not a question of whether we are willing or not. If we don't fight, other guilds will surpass us by a large margin during the fortress battle."

"Do you understand involution? This is just another form of involution among the major guilds."

Ni Guang sighed, "But it's not our responsibility to deal with such a big matter."

Sure enough, after reporting the matter to the gray leaf in the backlight.

The latter was also alarmed and immediately contacted the president of the Eternal Spire and the other two vice presidents and made a decision.

In fact, it’s not just in Niguang’s place. Members of the Eternal Spire also discovered similar gathering points of “active monsters” in two other locations, but they were not given as much attention as in Niguang’s.

Now, after the decision was made, it was immediately listed as the guild’s key target.

More than 30,000 guild members were dispatched to fight monsters in Longso Forest and two other gathering points to collect letter fragments.

The top ten elite groups are also on standby at all times to ensure that they do not waste tickets, clear hidden copies, and strive to get to the top of the rankings.

No wonder the Eternal Spire is so cautious.

The elite group on Niguang's side suffered heavy losses in the hidden dungeon of normal difficulty.

Although they are all elite groups ranked at the bottom of the Eternal Spire, they are also elite members of the guild.

What's more, the strength of difficult and expert-level monsters will be significantly improved, and it is understood that the hidden copies of the latter two levels of difficulty also have expanded plots.

To pass the level, the complexity is not at the same level.

The Eternal Spire began to take action. The other large guilds could not sit idle. With their numbers, they naturally discovered similar gathering points of "active monsters".

This is true for large guilds and small guilds alike.

Because big guilds like Stormwind will at least take their size into consideration and restrain each other during fortress battles.

During the development of small guilds, they will more or less have disputes with other guilds due to issues such as funding and members.

During the fortress war, driven by interests, battles would frequently break out between these guilds.

In order to gain more chances of winning in fortress battles, you naturally have to find ways to get the blueprint fragments dropped from hidden copies, even if they are just the most basic maintenance items.

Although the Eternal Spire has handed over the matters of active monsters and hidden copies to other elite groups.

But a task was also given to Ni Guang.

Let him purchase the necessary props for the copy.

"Snow blindness in the polar snowy areas requires windproof goggles. The Elkhor Islands have steep lava terrain, so anti-slip devices are needed. There is special smoke and dust in the Gulliver Mine, so a purifier is needed."

Ni Guang couldn't help but twitch his lips, "Are we going to clear a dungeon or conduct a special operation?"

Complaints aside, the key point is where to get these props, which is still a very serious problem.

"Let's go to the Xingyue Workshop and have a look. I heard that they just set up an alchemist department some time ago."

The guess about backlighting is correct.

After arriving at the Xingyue Workshop, Zi Luo, who learned the purpose of their visit, took him to an alchemy room on the third floor and introduced a pretty and lovely girl to Ni Guang.

"Her name is Xia Lu, and she is Mr. Yunyan's apprentice. You can talk to her if you have anything."

Clouds and smoke.

Ni Guang was no stranger to this name. As the chief alchemist of the Xingyue Workshop, he had created many rare alchemical items. He was also said to have inherited the skills of senior alchemists and acquired special alchemical skills.

Being able to be the other party's apprentice, he obviously has certain strength.

At that moment, Ni Guang felt relieved and described his needs to him.

"Well, these items can be made by me and another intermediate alchemist, but the price may be a bit expensive. Several guilds have come here to inquire about it, and Master said that the raw materials may not be in supply."

Xia Lu spoke softly, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke hesitantly.

“We can be responsible for supplying the raw materials.”

Ni Guang did not hesitate. He made preparations in advance this time and asked Gray Leaf for permission.

Unexpectedly, Xia Lu shook her head and said, "It's not just a matter of raw materials. The cost of composite materials is also quite high. Even if you provide the raw materials, we can only reduce 40% of the cost."

But just when Ni Guang was about to ask more questions, the other party suddenly changed the subject.

"However, if the Eternal Spire is willing to establish a cooperative relationship with our alchemy department, provide material channels, and have priority in purchasing rare materials, we can only charge the labor fee for the production, which is 20% of the original price."

Ni Guang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If such a large amount of expenses can be saved, there will be no problem in establishing a cooperative relationship, not to mention that this department is under the Xingyue Workshop.

So after getting in touch with Gray Leaf, the two officially established a cooperative relationship.

And Ni Guang also successfully obtained a batch of alchemical props necessary for the copy.

Watching Ni Guang leave the alchemy room, Xia Lu stuck out her tongue, "As expected of Master, not only did he get the raw materials, but he also established cooperation with all the major guilds in just one day."

Although it is because of the reputation of Star Moon Workshop, the credit of this proposal cannot be denied.

But what she didn't know was that this was not what Yunyan had thought.

Everything is actually the result of someone's arrangement.

Snowmen, elks, and tree spirits are all produced using the paper of any monster nest. The dropped fragments are added by themselves, and the copies are also designed by the other party.

The purpose is naturally to use the name of Christmas to make players think of holiday activities.

In order to make enough money from the players' "labor force".

Because it's not just those few "active monster" gathering points. In fact, the information that those guilds got from the irresponsible strategy groups also ultimately leads to the monster gathering points near the Demon King's City.

The maintenance items, small war weapon blueprints and corresponding materials dropped in the hidden copies will also be produced in the corresponding copies later, but they were released in advance by someone.

Of course, the guild has done its best, and individual players naturally cannot be left behind.

As a result, keywords like "Christmas treasure map", "Christmas code" and "Christmas gift box" appeared frequently on the forum like bamboo shoots after rain.

Make the already lively Christmas and New Year's Day holidays even more lively.

Chapter 33: The New Year Begins

City square.

At night, 11:59 pm.

The huge electronic signboard kept flashing numbers, and the lights around the square dimmed, making the countdown board decorated with neon lights particularly eye-catching.

Tens of thousands of citizens in the square looked at the signboard. As the numbers jumped, the shouts of small groups of people finally merged into a torrent, surging over the city.

When the last "1" was shouted out by tens of thousands of people at the same time.

The hours, minutes and seconds on the electronic sign return to zero at the same time.

The year number jumped to the new year.

Magnificent fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky above the square.

The afterimages of the fireworks and the bright stars in the night sky were extremely beautiful. The tall countdown board was completely submerged by the erupting fireworks, and the music of Happy New Year was floating everywhere.

Countless people in the square cheered excitedly and blessings were heard everywhere.

Many young couples hugged and kissed each other to celebrate the arrival of New Year's Day.

Yuwen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked eager to try.

As if I had anticipated this, I hid next to Cecilia in advance, causing the twin-tailed girl's plan to fail before it even started.

I worked so hard to call you out before, but now you seem quite happy.

Looking at the little ones immersed in the atmosphere of celebration, I couldn't help but secretly complain, but at the same time I felt a little emotional.

If it were my previous self, I would probably still be playing games with monsters.

I would never think of going out on this important holiday, let alone dragging the internet-addicted girl out.

But the before was the before, and the now is the now.

Now I know that in this life, I not only have the game Era, but also a group of people I love.

"Happy New Year, Xiaotong."

"Hey, let your aunt feel whether you have grown up~"

"That's too bad, Sister Youyou, please be sure to take me with you."

"If you want to attack my students, you have to pay me a toll first."

"Sis, as your younger sister, can I get some discount~"

I take back what I said before. There are still many hopeless guys here.

But happy new year anyway.

After the joy of the festival, life seems to have returned to its normal atmosphere.

But for players of Era, this may not be entirely true.

New Year, new atmosphere. Not only in the game, but also in the player forums, there is joy and happiness.

Although the most important Spring Festival for the Chinese region is still more than a month away, many players are already speculating about what kind of activities the official will launch during the Spring Festival.

After all, in this Christmas and New Year's Day cross-year celebration, many players received unexpected surprises.

Although these rewards may not be a big deal, it is the first server-wide event since the launch of Era. It is worth being happy even if you only get some gold coins.

The most important thing is the lively festive atmosphere brought by the event.

There were many voices of expectation on the forum, imagining what kind of feast it would be during the Spring Festival.

"It's just as I thought."

I whispered to myself after exiting the forum.

But it couldn't escape Cecilia's ears. "What is An talking about?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about the Spring Festival in a month. By the way, if you don't go back home during the Spring Festival, Cecilia, just come to my house and celebrate the New Year together."

"Will An be able to make desserts at that time?"

"sure."

"Then I told my father that I couldn't go back."

"..."

I was a little speechless, but I was used to Cecilia's personality, and I thought that with Cecilia around, I would be able to control that damn girl Ivan.

After New Year's Day, everyone seems to be busy.

Sisters Yun Xian and Yun Qian followed the strategy they gave to find the traces of the hidden profession.
