While Zhang Shan was riding away on horseback, he opened the official website of the game to check.
In the latest news on the official website, he saw three national war announcements.
The first one is an announcement about the national war between Chu and Zheng. The time of the national war is set at 8 o'clock tomorrow night and will last for two hours.
The other details of the national war were no different from the previous national war that Zhang Shan and his men had fought with the State of Qin.
The second is the announcement of the national war between Qin and Wei.
The third article is the announcement of the national war between Zhao and Yan.
These three announcements are exactly the same except for the national camps participating in the national war.
I have to say that this time the game planner was finally generous and released three national wars in a row.
It’s not like before, when everyone wanted to have a national war but could never wait.
There are even many big guys who have privately organized actions to increase hatred points.
However, it was of no use, and no national war was ever produced.
In fact, the operation of increasing hatred value is not too difficult.
Even if we organize players from both countries to PK each other.
However, you don't have to really beat the person to death. After knocking him down, you can use a supporting profession to revive and pull him up.
However, after trying several times, those big guys found that there was no national war announcement, so they gave up.
I don’t know whether the game’s backend system has avoided these loopholes, or whether it is really as everyone guessed.
National war is the result of game planning and human intervention.
But none of that matters now.
Now, three national war announcements have appeared all of a sudden, and everyone is satisfied for the time being.
Fighting three national wars at the same time, I have to say, it's very exciting.
Except for the players from Qi, players from other countries have been very excited since the announcement came out.
How can I not be excited?
For ordinary players, as long as they win the national war, they will have one week of double experience.
For those big players, if they destroy the opponent's beast statue, they can directly obtain a complete artifact.
Thinking of the king's cloak on Zhang Shan, many bigwigs couldn't help but get very excited.
This is their chance.
It's their chance to catch up with Zhang Shan.
If they also got an equipment like the King's Cloak, could they also be as powerful as Zhang Shan?
Even in terms of attack power, he is not as good as Zhang Shan.
But a king's cloak can directly increase the health points by hundreds of thousands, leaving those blue cloaks and purple cloaks far behind.
If a guardian warrior is equipped with a cloak like this, then taking on a boss would be a piece of cake, right?
Zhang Shan is a fragile hunter, but he can take on a real-name boss. Isn’t it because of his king’s cloak?
The Guardian Warrior has a skill called Guardian Heart, which doubles his health and makes him a natural meat shield.
If he had another king's cloak, his health would easily exceed one million.
He is much more tanky than Zhang Shan and is almost invincible.
Zhang Shan could also guess the mood of the bigwigs from all sides.
However, it will not be easy for them to blow up the statue of the mythical beast and obtain the artifact that drops from the statue.
You know, the health of the mythical beast statue is as much as hundreds of billions.
Although not as abnormal as the Divine Beast King with trillions of health points.
But with hundreds of billions of health points, it is not that easy to defeat.
Besides, there are so many people on both sides of the national war, unless the other side makes a strategic mistake or has overwhelming strength.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to get close to the opponent's mythical beast statue, let alone blow up the statue.
Of course, another more important point is that there will be three national wars tomorrow.
However, the statue of Qin's mythical beast had been destroyed by Zhang Shan and his team last time.
In other words, even if the Wei player destroyed the Qin's mythical beast statue in this national war, he would not receive any artifact reward.
They have lost a lot of hope in this national war.
I guess God of War Li Jing and others must be very depressed now.
They could have fought a national war with anyone else, but they had to fight a national war with the Qin State.
After waiting so long for a national war, we ended up having to eat the leftovers of Zhang Shan and his men.
Even if they defeat Qin, they will only get double experience for a week.
Maybe ordinary players in Wei will be very happy.
But big guys like the God of War Li Jing will definitely not be happy.
Of course, if a Qin player destroys the Wei's beast statue, he will still receive an artifact reward.
However, it is almost impossible for Qin to defeat Wei.
After all, the God of War Guild, as the leader in the gaming industry, is no joke.
The fact that the God of War Guild has been able to suppress the Tyrannical Guild all along fully demonstrates their strength.
It was great that Qin could fight Wei to a draw without being punished for losing the war.
But then again.
The arrangement of this national war is very interesting.
He actually arranged for Qin and Wei to fight a national war together.
Is this going to pit the gaming industry's biggest boss and perennial runner-up against each other in a decisive battle for the top spot in purple and gold?
Perhaps after this national war, the ranking of the top ten guilds for this year will be announced.
It’s a pity for the player from Qi State that he couldn’t even participate in a national war.
This is all the fault of the unparalleled gentleman.
Under the leadership of Wushuang Gentleman, all the players in the entire Qi State seemed a little timid.
Except for the few fights we had with the Fengyun Guild when the Tianmen Pass map was first opened.
The Wushuang Guild never had a big fight with other players.
They have always been timid, which has wasted their strong strength.
Even in this New Year event, the Wushuang Guild did not come to both the East and the West.
Instead, they guarded their own cities and hunted the divine beast kings.
What a loser.
They deserve not to be able to participate in the national war.
Of course, it might be a blessing for Qi players not to be able to participate in the national war.
Although, the rewards for winning the national war are very generous.
I won’t go into details about the direct reward of a complete artifact.
After victory in the national war, all members will be rewarded with double experience time for one week, which will definitely make everyone jealous.
However, the rewards for victory in the national war are very generous.
However, if the national war fails, the punishment will be difficult to accept.
In a week, experience points are halved, drops are halved, and consumption is doubled.
These three punishments are simply discouraging players from playing.
Players with slightly less self-control may really never play this game again.
Therefore, it may be a blessing for Qi players that they failed to participate in the national war.
At least there is no need to worry about the penalties for failing in the national war.
…
While running away, Zhang Shan checked the national war announcement.
After a while, he ran to the next location for materials.
Close the official website and continue to brush the task materials.
By the afternoon, Zhang Shan had completed all the mission points in Dangyang City.
He opened the task panel to check.
Today he completed seven of the material collection tasks.
The entire task consists of a total of 233 items.
In other words, Zhang Shan needs to run to 233 locations and kill different wild monsters before he can complete the task.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shan couldn't help but feel a headache.
It's really difficult.
No wonder others have been working on it for so long but still haven’t created the magic weapon.
This is fucking bullshit.
Not to mention that it takes a lot of time to collect materials, just running around these 233 locations would be a lot.
Take your time and move on to the next item.
Zhang Shan gathered his thoughts and began to read the notes before returning to Dangyang City.
Then teleport to the teleportation hall, teleport to Tianmen Pass, and then teleport to the city gate of the pass.
Zhang Shan summoned his Red Hare and ran towards the target location indicated in the mission.
The Tianmen Pass map at this time was very peaceful, unlike usual when there were no one causing trouble everywhere.
Maybe after three days of activities, everyone was tired of fighting and needed to slow down.
It could also be because there is a national war to be fought tomorrow.
Everyone is making preparations.
Those who are almost at the upgrade level are all working hard to kill monsters and level up.
Those who are worse equipped are working hard to get equipment.
In short, try to improve your strength as much as possible, even if it means sharpening your sword before a battle.
Everyone hopes to welcome tomorrow's national war in their strongest condition.
After all, except for the players from Qi, all other players in the game will have to fight in the national war tomorrow.
Although for ordinary players, to participate in the national war, they have to spend a hundred gold coins and teleport to the royal city.
However, even the poorest players can now come up with a hundred gold coins.
There is no reason for anyone to miss such an exciting event as the National War.
Maybe many people may have bad luck during the national war and be knocked down as soon as they enter the national war map.
But that doesn't matter.
Even if you only stay in the national war map for a few seconds, it means you have participated in the national war.
Zhang Shan believed that tomorrow's scene would be extremely grand, far from comparable to the last time they fought against the State of Qin.
Time passed slowly, and Zhang Shan had been in the Tianmen Pass map, collecting materials and completing tasks.
By the afternoon of the next day, Fengyun Tianxia, ​​together with the Dragon King of the East China Sea and King Xiaoyao, issued a national war mobilization order on the national channel of Chu.
The content is very simple.
There is meat to be gained by winning the national war. We call on all Chu players to go online and participate in the national war before 8 o'clock in the evening.
In order to get double experience, everyone fought together and defeated Zheng State.
After the three bosses issued the mobilization order, countless people responded.
In fact, the players from the Chu State have already enjoyed the rewards for winning the national war once.
That feeling can be summed up in one word.
Cool.
Double experience for a week is really cool.
Regardless of the level of players, double experience has unparalleled appeal.
One day of brushing is better than two days.
What better reward could there be than double the experience?
Of course there are, and there are also magical artifacts.
But artifacts have nothing to do with ordinary players, and they don’t care about this.
That thing will only be rewarded to the player who has made the greatest contribution to the national war.
With Zhang Shan around, not to mention ordinary players, even the big guys probably wouldn't have the mind to do that.
As long as Zhang Shan participates in the national war, who can snatch him away?
A few random shots from Zhang Shan could inflict much more damage than others who had been hacking for half a day.
…
For ordinary players, it is enough if the equipment is sufficient, the key is to upgrade it.
If you can't level up, everything else is meaningless.
And double experience is the best choice for upgrading.
Therefore, after tasting the sweetness once, the players of the Chu State were very enthusiastic about this national war.
Zhang Shan believes that the number of will far exceed that of the last time.
Although there are other factors as well.
For example, the number of players in Chu State is much greater now than before.
After all, the number of game players has been growing all the time, and now the number of players in the entire game has exceeded 400 million.
The State of Chu is a popular faction in the new world. Many novice players will choose to join the State of Chu when choosing a faction.
But more importantly, everyone is very enthusiastic about participating in the national war this time.
The last time we fought against the Qin State, such a tough opponent, some players might have been a little timid.
This time, the target is Zheng State, a soft persimmon.
If you don't try this, wouldn't it be a waste of the game?
…
After dinner, Zhang Shan collected another wave of mission materials.
The time came to 7:30 in the evening.
Fengyun Tianxia spoke on the guild channel.
"Put away all the things you have on hand and gather in the royal city as soon as possible, so as to avoid being crowded together later."
"Got it. I'll go back to the city after I kill this monster."
"Already in the Royal City, waiting for the National War Map to be opened."
"Fuck, man, you're so cruel. You're gone so early?"
"We have to get there early. Otherwise, when the war starts, we won't know how long it will take to queue up to enter the war map. Don't you remember the lesson from last time?"
"Nima, you're right. I'll read the message and go back to the city as well."
…
Zhang Shan took a look at the task panel. At his current location, he had not yet spawned the task materials.
But Zhang Shan didn't plan to do that and continued to brush.
When it comes to getting materials for quests, a lot of the time it depends on luck.
If you are lucky, after you get to the place, you can get the materials needed for the task by killing a few monsters.
If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get the materials needed for the task even after two or three hours of grinding.
Thinking about the players who will be queuing up to enter the national war map at the Prime Minister's Mansion in the royal city later, there will probably be a huge crowd of people.
Zhang Shan thought it would be better for him to go there earlier.
This is to avoid not being able to enter the national war map as soon as the national war begins.
Although, it doesn’t matter much whether you enter the national war map early or late.
After all, the outcome of a national war cannot be determined in a short period of time, and the entrance to the national war map has always been open during the national war.
As long as the local players have never entered the national war map, they can enter at any time during the national war.
Of course, each player can only enter once.
If it's hung up on the national war map, I'll never go there again.
Despite this, everyone still wants to enter the national war map as soon as possible.
This is the mentality of life. You always have to compete for the first place, just like the person walking in front can pick up money.
Zhang Shan is also a layman, and he also wants to enter the national war map as soon as the national war begins.
Zhang Shan took out the positioning bead, marked the coordinates at the original place, and then started reading the bar to return to the city.
I'll leave the coordinates here. After the national war is over, you can teleport here directly to continue collecting materials and completing tasks, so you don't have to run again.
There is a positioning bead, which is very convenient.
After Zhang Shan returned to Dangyang City, he quickly repaired his equipment, bought supplies, and then teleported to the royal city.
When he came to the royal city.
Outside the teleportation hall of the royal city, players from the Chu State were constantly being teleported in.
After everyone was teleported here, they quickly summoned their mounts and rode towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing the crowds surging, Zhang Shan couldn't help but complain.
Damn, it’s only half past seven, and the national war doesn’t start until eight o’clock, why are there so many people here?
Don't these people have anything to do?
They can totally do that. They can just kill the monsters for a while and come back later.
It seems that there are so many positive people.
Zhang Shan locked onto the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Wangcheng through the map, and then teleported there.
However, when Zhang Shan landed.
He found himself several hundred yards away from the Prime Minister's Residence.
Because the Prime Minister's Mansion had already been surrounded by players.
Even if Zhang Shan used teleportation, he couldn't squeeze in.
The system randomly sends him to the nearest open space to the location he selected.
Zhang Shan looked up at the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw the densely packed heads of people. He couldn't help but feel speechless.
Damn, he came early enough, but others came earlier than him.
And it's not just one or two people.
There are now at least several million people surrounding the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Are these people just that boring?
Why are you here so early?
Zhang Shan never thought about himself.
In fact, he came very early too.
There is still half an hour left before the national war begins.
If he is not bored, then others will naturally not be bored either.
Don’t say you are an early riser, there are others who are even earlier than you.
…
After looking at the countless heads around him for a while, Zhang Shan began to pull his friends into the team.
Recently everyone has been scattered everywhere, collecting materials and completing tasks, and they are not grouping together to kill monsters.
Unless you win this national war, there will be double experience rewards, or other activities.
Otherwise, they probably won’t be able to team up to kill monsters for a long time to come.
After all, everyone has artifact molds in their hands and is busy completing tasks.
After a while, all the friends joined the team.
Fengyun Yida shouted on the team channel.
"Boss Liuguan, what should we do later? How about we go directly to the altar of Zheng State to steal a wave after entering the national war map?"
"Don't take me with you if you want to die. Do you know how many people will be at the Zheng State's altar after the national war begins?"
"That's right, there must be at least 20 or 30 million people, right? This is not just 2,000 or 3,000 people. If we go there with just a few of us, wouldn't we be throwing our heads away for nothing?"
"Brother, be steady and don't be too reckless."
Zhang Shan said after thinking for a while.
"After we enter the national war map, we will gather together and hunt freely, and then go to our altar to meet up with the others and see how the boss and the others arrange it."
"Okay, then the five of us should get together early and go kill people together. I'm going to kill 10,000 people today. Hehe."
"Look at your lack of ability. There are at least 50 to 60 million players in Zheng State. Are you satisfied with killing only 10,000 people?"
"Today I am going to kill a lot of people. My divine longbow has not been used yet. I will not stop until I have killed hundreds of thousands of them."
"Just brag about it. In just three days of activity, you not only got the artifact quest item, but you even got the artifact out directly. You're really lucky."
"Huh, you're jealous."
"Why would I be jealous? Isn't my divine weapon, the battle axe, powerful?"
"Come and challenge me in single combat."
"A good man doesn't fight with a woman."
Fengyun Yidao and Xiao Yaojing were constantly yelling at each other on the team channel, showing no consideration for the feelings of Boss Wu in the team.
Among the five people in their team, only Boss Wu does not have a magic weapon.
Although during the New Year event, Boss Wu received three artifact molds.
But that is just a mold. It will take a long time to make it into a magical artifact.
More importantly, the artifact mold can only create defensive artifacts, as for offensive artifacts.
Boss Wu hasn’t even been seen yet.
The artifact mission items are really hard to get, and they have never seen a magic sword used by Taoist priests.
I have to find an opportunity to get Boss Wu a magic weapon in the future, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing for him.
Although the five of them were not standing together, this did not stop them from chatting non-stop on the team channel.
Anyway, there is nothing to do at this moment.
Am I just going to sit there and wait for half an hour?
What else can I do if I don’t brag now?
As for the arrangement of the national war strategy, that is the business of Fengyun Tianxia and their big bosses.
As for Zhang Shan and others, they just need to obey orders.
Let him hit wherever he wants.
He's just a thug with no emotions.
As we were chatting, time passed quickly and soon it was eight o'clock in the evening.
System announcements kept ringing.
System announcement: The national war between Chu and Zheng has officially begun. Warriors, please enter the national war map.
System announcement: The national war between Qin and Wei has officially begun. Warriors, please enter the national war map.
System announcement: The national war between Zhao and Yan has officially begun. Warriors, please enter the national war map.
Three national wars, three announcements.
After the announcement sounded, Zhang Shan raised his head and looked forward.
The players from the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly disappeared.
The player standing in the front has already entered the national war map.
Zhang Shan followed closely behind, and every time the player in front of him took a step, he would take a step forward.
Soon, he arrived in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhang Shan quickly made his choice and entered the national war map.
The moment he entered the national war map, before he could recover from the shock, several injuries fell on Zhang Shan's head.
"Damn, it's really troublesome when the map is switched."
Fortunately, he was strong enough, otherwise, he would have been killed as soon as he entered the national war map.
Zhang Shan turned around and saw seven Zheng players behind him, waving their weapons and attacking him fiercely.
Zhang Shan fired back with a shot, bang.
These seven Zheng players were defeated in seconds.
The passive skill of ricochet is very useful, much more useful than general group attack skills.
He doesn't need to do anything. As long as the enemies are not too scattered, he can just shoot and twelve people will fall to the ground.
With Zhang Shan's current damage ability, there are only a few players in the entire game who can withstand his shots without dying.
Except for a very small number of guardian warriors who are very well equipped.
The others were under Zhang Shan's gun.
They were all shot down in one go.
