"Everyone should know that there are eight main cities in the Chinese region, and each main city has mirror maps of levels 10-50. But after players reach level 50, they must leave this small area and enter the 50+ leveling map. But this is not something that can be left overnight. All players need to complete a very lengthy task to open the level leading to the 50+ area."
Zhang Yang sighed inwardly. This Dream Technology really knew how to make money. They were clearly robbing players' properties, but they covered it up with a very beautiful packaging.
"What task is to be done?" Wei Yan'er asked first.
"This version is called Expedition, which means we have to go out and fight the enemy. But as the saying goes, food and grass must be prepared before the army moves. Without war reserves, how can we win the war? So, from now on, players can go to the expedition quartermaster in the main city to hand in various materials. This is a repeatable task. For example, handing in 20 cotton bandages and 10 bottles of healing potions. Anyway, the NPC will accept everything. Every time a material is received, the military reserve will increase a little. When the progress bar reaches 100, the army will start to attack the level fortress and open the passage to the level 50 area."
"Wow, this system is really dark," Narcissus said immediately.
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "However, even if the player does not pay for the materials, the progress bar will increase automatically, but the speed is slow. Many players pay a certain amount of materials and are rewarded with a treasure chest. There is a 99% chance of opening a reputation medal and rewarding 50 alliance reputation points. In addition, there is a 1% chance of opening equipment, professional drawings, gems, etc., ranging from black iron to gold level."
"Yellow, golden utensil" Starlight Infinite stuttered.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "But don't expect too much. The chance of getting a piece of equipment is only 1. If you want to get a golden piece of equipment... maybe the chance is less than 1 in 100,000 or 1 in 1 million."
"That's still a chance after all," Xingguang tried eagerly, "For now, we can only steal the gold items from the evil wizard Shak. He only drops two items in seven days, so we don't have enough to share."
Everyone else nodded. Who wouldn't want the best equipment? However, the drop rate and boss refresh time determined that it was impossible for the best equipment to be popularized. If it were to be popularized, it would become a street item.
Zhang Yang said: "The 64 main cities in the world have independent reserve progress. Whichever main city completes the accumulation of supplies first, the expeditionary force will be launched to attack the fortress occupied by the demons. This is a very huge and epic battle. There will be a wave of enemies pouring out of the fortress. There will be about ten waves. Each wave has countless monsters and a boss. All players must go out together to resist the impact of monsters. The NPC army will help the players, but the number will not be large. The main force still has to be carried out by the players."
He continued, "Victory is achieved only after withstanding the attacks of ten monsters and then killing the general of the fortress. Otherwise, the expeditionary force will have to wait two days before launching a second attack. The first player to conquer the main city of the fortress will receive a reward such as a temporary increase of 100 experience points. In addition, players who rank in the top ten in contribution value in the battle will receive additional rewards, which may be silver or gold equipment rewards, or skill books or skill points."
"After the death of the fortress commander, the city lord order will be dropped. The player who gets it will become the nominal owner of the fortress and obtain the title of 'Hero of a certain city'. The charges for repairing equipment, inlaying gems, using teleportation arrays, etc. in the main city will be permanently reduced by 50. There are 64 main cities in the world. As long as one main city completes the battle to conquer the fortress, the fortresses of the remaining 63 main cities will be automatically occupied. There will be no battles with ten-kill monsters, and no generous rewards."
"After occupying the fortress, the teleportation arrays of the eight main cities in each region will be officially opened, and players can reach any main city through the teleportation array. The banks and auction houses in the eight main cities will communicate with each other, so there is no need to return to your original main city."
"Then, the level 50 dungeon, Fire Poison Land, behind the fortress is opened. This is a dungeon with a maximum of 20 players. Players must clear it once to complete the level 50 professional mission."
Zhang Yang shrugged and concluded: "This is probably the content of the "Expedition" version."
"That means we not only have to compete with the other seven major cities in China, but also with the 56 major cities around the world?"
"Yes"
"After level 50, will players from the eight main cities in China level up on the same map?"
"Yes, but not just one, but many."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go deliver the supplies and be the first to launch a battle to seize the border."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "It's not possible for a few people to obtain supplies. All players must be mobilized. Baifa, Narcissus, you guys should announce the news in the guild immediately to let everyone understand the significance of seizing the fortress."
"Okay." Baifa Yizhong and Narcissus Huakai both nodded.
After listening to Zhang Yang's introduction, everyone went about their business.
Gathering supplies is a long and huge task. It will take more than half a month to complete it. Zhang Yang rode to the flight point, rented a griffin and flew directly to the Wild Feather Canyon. He first upgraded his level to 50.
Two days later, Zhang Yang's body flashed with golden light, and he successfully reached level 50. After putting on a series of level 50 equipment such as the Dragon Tooth Battle Axe, Blood Tiger Combat Boots, and Eternal Cloak, his various attributes soared again.
HP: 11230, Attack Power: (1528-1728) x105, Strength: 437, Agility: 169, Armor: 420, Damage Absorption: 450
He added all the skill points from the first pass of the Castle area and the reward for reaching level 50 to the "Shield Wall" skill. The cooldown time of this skill has now been reduced to 5.5 minutes.
After tearing open the teleportation talisman and returning to Baiyu City, Zhang Yang went to find a professional mentor to learn new skills.
"Young warrior, you are growing faster and faster, but the path of cultivation is difficult, just like rowing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Are you ready to move forward?" Annie looked at Zhang Yang seriously.
Zhang Yang immediately said: "I am not afraid of any challenge"
"Very good, at least you have proved that you still have the courage." Annie nodded with satisfaction.
"Ding, you have accepted the task: Level 50 professional task"
[Level 50 Career Mission] (Mission Difficulty: Optional)
Mission description: Kill Rosian Bronze Hammer to prove that you are still qualified to be a warrior. Rosian Bronze Hammer is hiding in the Fire Poison Land, which is a very dangerous place. Please bring enough friends with you. There are three levels of difficulty for this mission: Level *, you need to kill Rosian Bronze Hammer in death mode. Level B, you need to kill Rosian Bronze Hammer in difficult mode. Level C, you need to kill Rosian Bronze Hammer in normal mode.
Completion: Killed Rosian.Bronze Hammer 01
The highest difficulty is only level * and no level S? Zhang Yang smiled. He should be the only one who knows that this mission has a hidden option: after killing Rossian, kill the hidden boss of the Fire Poison Land, Medusa Queen Xilika, and you will get an S-level reward.
However, the hidden boss is extremely difficult. Which team can defeat this boss without four or five days, or even ten days? After defeating Luo Xi'an, everyone must have gone to complete the quests and rushed to the new 50+ maps to try them out. Who would save the quests
Therefore, this hidden difficulty option was not triggered until later, when a high-level player came back and dragged his friends who had just started playing to kill Rosian and the hidden boss at once, and only then did they discover this hidden S-level difficulty.
Aini only gave Zhang Yang this task and did not teach him any new skills. Starting from level 50, the skills that can be learned from professional mentors are getting fewer and fewer, especially those powerful and practical skills that all appear in the form of skill books.
To complete the level 50 professional mission, you must wait until all supplies are collected and the fortress is captured before you can enter the Fire Poison Land dungeon. Zhang Yang encouraged everyone in the meeting to actively hand in supplies while selecting candidates for the Fire Poison Land 20-man dungeon and upgrading their equipment as soon as possible in the next few days.
"Server Announcement: Player Qixi Xiaoshuiniu opened a military supply box and obtained a piece of equipment that shone with silver light. He took a closer look and found that it was a flying dragon tui."
Suddenly, the system sent a message in red font, and the Flying Dragon Bodyguard still had link attributes. With a click, the attributes of the equipment immediately popped up.
[Flying Dragon Armor] (Silver, Leather Armor)
Armor: +12
Stamina: +120
Strength: +60
Agility: +60
Secondary socket 1
Secondary socket 2
Equip: Increases attack damage by 60 points.
Required level: 50
Players were excited to see the attributes of this equipment. You should know that currently only the Death Mode dungeons drop silver equipment - the outdoor silver-level bosses are basically reserved by large guilds, and small guilds or people without guilds can't get involved - but the difficulty of the Death Mode is there. For the vast majority of players, the Death Mode can only be played after they are 20 or 30 levels higher, and then they can go back to crush and satisfy their desire.
Who doesn’t want good equipment? In the past, due to the lack of a strong team, they could only watch others drool over the shiny equipment, but now, they can get silver equipment without going to dungeons or fighting bosses. This immediately ignited the enthusiasm of all low-level players. They gave supplies and took military supply boxes to try their luck at the pitiful winning rate.
The system is also very cooperative. As long as a player gets silver-level equipment, it will be publicized loudly. Although the winning rate is indeed low, it cannot withstand the base of nearly 200 million players in the world. Suddenly, the world channel is like a whirlwind, and every once in a while, the news of a certain player getting a silver item will be refreshed back and forth.
The power of example is infinite. Especially when a lucky player opened a gold weapon, everyone's enthusiasm was ignited to the extreme. Even the officials of the big guilds couldn't hold back. Silver weapons were fine, but gold weapons... Even they didn't have them.
In short, the enthusiasm of players around the world has been completely ignited
This Dream Technology is not only good at making games, but also has a brilliant marketing strategy. In this way, a large amount of materials are recycled by the system, which undoubtedly promotes consumption, and the game company will make a lot of money.
Zhang Yang sighed for a while, then connected to Han Yingxue's voice contact and said, "Ms. Snow Demon, are you in cahoots with the top management of Dream Technology? How come you have encountered such a low chance of getting a gold weapon?"
Yes, the lucky player who has opened the only golden weapon from the military supply box so far is Han Yingxue.
Han Yingxue giggled and said, "Yes, I slept with him for two nights. I was so rude. I pinched his chest so hard that it still hurts."
Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of Han Yingxue's towering breasts, and his blood immediately boiled. He thought to himself that the enchanting woman was very skilled. He asked, "How much have you practiced the runes?"
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Please give me another batch of 40+ black iron and bronze equipment. I am going to practice runes to a high level. Please support my sister."
Zhang Yang broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Sister, how many black iron and bronze artifacts have you taken from me these past two days? My small business can't afford your extravagance."
Han Yingxue is the only one in the team who has switched to the rune major, because this major requires constant decomposition of equipment to improve proficiency, which is extremely expensive and ordinary players can't afford it. Generally, a guild is required to support a rune master.
Han Yingxue naturally wouldn't be polite to Zhang Yang. She had been taking equipment from the canteen to disassemble every day these past two days. In those two days, she had spent at least 50,000 gold. Moreover, due to the introduction of the Rune Major, some of the previously unpopular equipment had been revived. Anyway, the disassembled equipment was the same, so the price suddenly skyrocketed, forcing the canteen's purchase price to increase accordingly.
Moreover, because the rune profession has just been launched, many people have tried to learn it, causing the current poor equipment to become unsalable and hard to find.
Han Yingxue chuckled again and said, "Silly Yu, do you want to take advantage of me? You are so mean."
This word "bad" is really touching and makes people's blood boil.
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, just come over and get the equipment."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You're causing me to waste my energy seducing you." Han Yingxue paused and cut off the conversation with Zhang Yang.
Training a rune master is something that every guild must do. Moreover, because training a rune master requires a huge investment, all major guilds will carefully select personnel to avoid having a rune master just trained and then jump to another guild the next day.
Han Yingxue's character is naturally beyond reproach. Besides, Damoguyan was founded by her and Wei Yan'er, so it is even more impossible for her to defect. Besides, this woman is definitely a billionaire. Playing games is just to kill time. It is unrealistic to bribe her with money.
Zhang Yang took out some bandages and medicines, ran to the expeditionary army quartermaster to hand in supplies, and exchanged them for twelve military supply boxes. When he opened them, he found only twelve reputation medals. This was not a bad thing, it was just a normal situation. It was rare to get equipment.
