Volume 3 Chapter 15 Treasure Hunting Activity
On the 20th and 21st, many gangs popped up in Fantasy like mushrooms after rain... Not to mention the other three continents, on the Cang Continent, there is the Brotherhood of Bage and the Blood River Sect of the Blood Sea (it seems that he is a fan of Wen Ruian). I formally formed an alliance with them at the first time. A huge force rose in the south. A player named Blood God formed the Blood Shadow Legion. Near Shenghua City, two large gangs appeared, the Golden Wind and Rain Tower and the Six and a Half Hall (there are so many Wen fans). It is said that the leaders of these two factions have a grudge. They desperately recruited martial arts novel fans in Fantasy. Before the establishment of the gang, they had already fought a lot of verbal battles on the official forum. It is estimated that fierce group battles will break out as soon as their headquarters is built... I clearly feel that there are less than ten intelligence officers now, and the manpower is not enough. Each person is responsible for a city area, which is not enough. Well, we need to recruit and train more intelligence talents!
The Thunder Alliance has been developing steadily in the past few days, and the Ao Shi Family seems to have stopped its activities and has not bothered us again. Ji Mo and the four hall masters have organized several exercises and training for the alliance members. Although it cost a lot of money, the quality of the alliance members has improved significantly in terms of coordination, especially defensive operations.
The 22nd, Saturday, is the day for the scheduled treasure hunt activity!
I have already sent out a promotional announcement in the alliance, and the members were very excited and signed up enthusiastically. I set restrictions: level 35 and above, and the total number of people for this event is 400.
Going up Kunlun Mountain and challenging the D-level boss is not an easy task. Members below level 35 will only cause trouble if they go. Therefore, the level limit is understood by all members, but the number limit has caused dissatisfaction among some members. You should know that the new masters of the Jinglei League and the old members have been promoted quickly. Up to now, there are nearly 800 masters above level 35, and there are also several above level 40. However, the allocation of participating places that I proposed was reasonable, and was eventually agreed upon by the vast majority of alliance members: First, alliance members who have performed well in training, as proposed by each hall leader, can participate in the event, and there are a total of 200 places; second, 200 places will be selected from the remaining registered members through drawing lots; third, this event will be fixed and held once a week, and each time there will be 200 places as a reward for hard work in training, but those who are selected through the drawing this time will not be eligible to participate in the drawing again next time; fourth, members who are not selected through the drawing will eventually receive a certain amount of rewards depending on the amount of treasure they gain from hunting, but they must carefully prepare the defense of their base during the event. After all, it is no secret that we are holding the event. In case a gang with intentions suddenly declares war on us when a considerable part of our strength is out, the members stationed at the base must at least hold on for a period of time and wait for the return of the treasure-hunting team.
In fact, it is not easy to hold an event. We need to plan all the details in advance, formulate fair distribution principles, and reasonably allocate personnel and occupations... It took us more than a day to get everything done. Of course, it won't take so much effort to hold the same event in the future.
Finally, at noon on the 22nd, the 400 selected members were divided into 10 teams. The captain of each team took out two simple maps I had drawn from me, which marked the approximate refresh location of a certain boss and the distribution of monsters nearby. Then they happily crossed the Feixian Bridge and headed towards the Kunlun Mountains!
Before setting off, I announced to them: This is both an event and a competition! As the leader, I will give extra rewards to each team based on how fast they complete the task and how much spoils they get!
This further stimulated the participating members and made their blood boil. Haha, with the dual encouragement of spiritual and material, how could they not give their best effort?
Myself? Of course I won't join. Firstly, when the defense of this base is at its weakest, I will be more assured if I am in charge of the headquarters. Secondly, if I join the battle, no matter which team I join, it will be too unfair. I have the strength to fight against a D-level boss alone!
Watching these energetic allies leave with cheers, I turned back to the profiteer and asked, “What do you think of this event?”
The profiteer wailed, "Boss, the event was well organized and the members responded well, but so many super bosses were defeated by the members, and the final profit distribution also belonged to the members. The gang didn't earn any gold coins, and we even had pay for the prizes. If you do it a few more times, we will go bankrupt!"
Forget it... Unscrupulous merchants don’t care about anything else except money. I asked the wrong person. What I wanted to ask is, can these alliance members succeed in challenging the D-level Boss?
Most of the people including Mozi also went to participate in the activities. Two of the four hall masters left, leaving only Wuwuwu and Badao. Xiaowu understood what I meant and said with a smile: "I still have confidence in the strength of the alliance members. After all, they are the most elite masters of the alliance! I can't guarantee a complete victory, but most teams should be able to complete the task. Of course, sacrifices are inevitable. I estimate that at least half of the people will die!"
Haha, Xiao Wu's judgment is similar to mine. The average strength of these 400 alliance members is probably not weaker than that of Xue Hai and An Jian, who I brought with me last time. So, with 10 people dealing with followers, 30 people encircling a D-level Boss is not easy, and casualties are inevitable, but it is by no means impossible to win. Of course, there are some factors such as tactical application, terrain, and whether there are monsters around. It depends on their luck. But it is precisely because of the difficulty that it can arouse everyone's interest!
Time passed by in the waiting, and during this time, there were always members coming out of the Samsara Hall next to the headquarters with excited or regretful expressions. Of course, many members who stayed in the garrison immediately surrounded them and asked them about the treasure hunting process. The members who came back also began to tell their intense and fierce battle process, such as suddenly encountering a large group of monsters in a certain place and the team was surrounded, how powerful the super boss was, and how he killed them in seconds, etc. Listening to their laughter, the game of Fantasy really brought them a lot of fun! And how to dig out as much of this fun as possible, isn’t it the responsibility of gang leaders like us?
When the sun was setting, we saw the first group of victorious warriors returning to the camp from the teleport point back to the camp (which was different from the teleport point to the city). Haha, it was the team led by the God of the Divine Realm. He was lucky. The two maps he took from me were both close to the camp. And because they were on the outskirts of the Kunlun Mountains, the monsters there were not difficult to deal with. However, they did not return in full force. Only about 30 of the 40-man team were able to return safely.
I walked up to him and shouted, "Congratulations! God, you and your team are the first to complete the task! At least in terms of speed, you are the winners of this event! Haha, how was your harvest? Did you get any treasures?"
There was sweat on the god's forehead, which showed how fierce the battle was. He smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that we got a lot of equipment, but it doesn't seem to be of special quality. Of course, this still needs to be verified by our appraisal shop owner. A pet egg dropped by a small boss, but it's a pity that it wasn't dropped by a super boss, so it's estimated that the level is not very high."
I said, "That's not bad. The drop rate of pet eggs is low to begin with. Last week, I led people to kill nearly 20 D-level bosses, and only three pet eggs dropped. That was because I was lucky. The drop rate of pet eggs on small bosses is even lower. I haven't gotten any from small bosses yet!"
Shendao: "Speaking of this, the boss is really invincible. A week ago, you could fight a D-level boss alone. This time, we sent so many brothers, but many of them died when besieging the super boss. The main reason is that it is too easy to be killed instantly. If you want to beat him easily, you must have an average level of at least 50, and you can't fight him alone. How abnormal is the boss's attack and defense? No wonder he can challenge the ten people of Ao Shi and kill them all. Haha, if the boss levels up a few more times, I think he can rush into the Ao Shi headquarters and destroy them alone!"
Just kidding, I'm indeed very strong, but I'm not immortal. If I rush into the headquarters of a big gang like Ao Shi by myself, I can't stand it even if each of their attacks deducts a little blood from me!
I chatted with the God of the God Realm for a while and asked him about the details of the battle. The God is indeed a good commander. He allocated the positions of warriors, archers and mages very well, and exerted the greatest coordinated combat efficiency, so that casualties could be controlled to single digits. Well, when we form a regular combat unit in the future, consider letting him take on more responsibilities!
Soon, the allies came back to report. Haha, the team led by Wenxin won the second place, because Wenxin, this blood cow, is not much worse than me in terms of resistance to attacks! With him holding off the super boss, his subordinates can relax. Their group also had the least casualties, with only 6 people dead. Then, Jimo led the team back, Fengyun led the team back... Most of them also completed the task of killing two D-level bosses, and the casualties were between 10 and 20 people . Bu Si and his two apprentices were busy, frantically identifying the spoils they brought back, and exclaimed from time to time: "Wow! This one is a top-level item... Oh, a level 46 dark gold equipment..." It seems that everyone has returned with a full load!
However, one hour later, three teams still had not returned. Most of the members of two of them had already been resurrected from the Hall of Samsara. According to their reports, these two teams had failed because they had lost too many men when killing the first Boss, and the remaining half of the members would naturally be in great danger of challenging the next Boss.
The other team led by the fat guy was a bit strange. There were only 5 members in their team who died, and one of them said that he killed the first Boss very smoothly. He was accidentally killed by monsters when he was looking for the second Boss. Logically, there shouldn't be any problems with their group, right?
After waiting for a long time, a member of the Alliance came out from the Samsara Hall and ran over in a panic, saying, "Alliance leader, it's bad, we are fighting with the gang! Hurry up and bring the brothers to help!"
I was shocked and grabbed his arm and said, "What did you say? Explain it from the beginning!"
The ally recounted the events one by one. It turned out that after the fat man led his team to kill the first boss, he immediately went to the second location, found the boss very smoothly, and started a fierce battle. Because of the proper tactics, the super boss and its followers were separated, and most of the small bosses were eliminated without any casualties. When everyone thought victory was in sight, more than a hundred masters suddenly came and rushed to fight the boss without saying a word. The fat man was very alert. Seeing that the other side had a large number of people, he did not argue. He led the team members to retreat, and then organized the formation. When the other side was besieging the super boss, he suddenly attacked, killed more than ten of the other side, and immediately ran away, and then continued guerrilla harassment. It should be easy for more than a hundred people to deal with a D-level boss, but it was very different with dozens of people messing around. They could not organize effective tactics to curb the power of the D-level boss, and were killed by the boss.
The remaining sixty or seventy people on the other side found that this was not a solution, so they gave up killing the boss and rushed over to compete with the fat man's team. With the super boss rushing around, killing whoever he caught, it was a very lively scene. This ally was killed instantly by the boss by accident, and after he was resurrected, he immediately came to report and ask for help.
Damn, Fatty and his men are now 70 to 80 kilometers away from the base. Even if I ride my unicorn, it will take more than half an hour to get there. What's the use of supporting them? It's also my carelessness. Fatty and his men haven't come back for so long. I should have used the remote communication function of the headquarters to contact him. Now it's too late to say anything. A conflict has already broken out with the other side, and the fighting is fierce there. If I send a communication, it will only distract Fatty. Wait, according to the situation described by this ally, there will be a result in less than five minutes.
Sure enough, the members of the fat man's team in the Samsara Hall came out one after another, all with angry faces, blaming the gang members who stole the monsters. In the end, including the fat man, all of them died. There was no other way. The Kunlun Mountains were too far away from the base, and the gang return scrolls could not be used. Using random scrolls would most likely teleport them to the depths of the mountains, which would still mean death. It would be better to fight the opponent than to be killed by the monster!
Fatty told us what happened in a little more detail than that ally. In fact, after retreating, he first talked to the other side and asked them why they were snatching monsters. Unexpectedly, the other side replied: "Kunlun Mountain is not your home!" and said some insulting words, which angered Fatty and he started PK with the other side.
Finally, the fat man said, "Humph, we are all dead, and there are only a dozen of them left out of more than a hundred people. Forget about killing the boss. Let's go our separate ways. I guess they are all dead by now! Boss, this time the bullies have come to our doorstep. We can't let this go. We have to teach that gang a lesson!"
The violent group was just established today. Although the intelligence sent by my subordinates only mentioned this gang briefly, and their details are not clear at all, they were able to establish a gang so quickly, and they were able to organize more than 100 people to fight the boss in Kunlun today, which shows that the opponent's strength is definitely not small. How to deal with this matter must be cautious and must not be impulsive. Of course, in front of so many members, I couldn't help but express my opinion. At that time, I said in a deep voice: "The purpose of our Jinglei League is that if others don't offend me, I won't offend others; but if someone offends me, I will repay them tenfold. The Ao Shi family is so powerful, and we are not afraid to come. Of course, we can't just let the violent group go. However, today is our activity day. Don't let these garbage ruin everyone's interest. Let's take a look at what good things everyone has won, evaluate the pros and cons, arrange the results, and hold our celebration party! We will negotiate with them about the violent group tomorrow. If they don't give us a satisfactory answer, the Jinglei League will never give up easily!"
Everyone responded in unison and dispersed to arrange the bonfire dinner that had been prepared earlier. After a while, Bu Si had finished identifying all the equipment. Those that could not be identified were sent to the system identification NPC in the city for identification.
The dinner started. Only a small area in the center of our base had been built with the headquarters, shops and other buildings, and most of the land was still vacant. On the grassland near the Xianling River (after the land was reclaimed, the grass was artificially planted as a special green lawn, which is evergreen all year round), hundreds of blazing bonfires were lit, and dozens of alliance members were sitting around each bonfire. The grills added to the bonfires were skewered with high-level birds and beasts that everyone had shot from Kunlun Mountain today. The eight chefs in the alliance were busy applying seasoning to the food on each bonfire. Soon, the fragrance filled the air, and the atmosphere of camping was full.
I stood in the middle of the field, holding up a glass of fine wine, and said loudly, "Today, we held the first large-scale event in the Jinglei Alliance. All brothers and sisters performed well and bravely ventured into Kunlun. In Fantasy, most players have never even seen D-level bosses, but we killed 17 of them in one go! And a lot of the barbecue in front of you is this kind of rare boss meat! Thank you to all the alliance members who came up the mountain today, so that everyone has the opportunity to taste delicious food. I toast to you all!"
The 400 members who participated in the event stood up, raised their glasses, and said in unison: "Thank you, leader, for your careful planning and organization. We have experienced an unforgettable and enjoyable event. Let us toast to you, leader!"
Damn, it's normal for them to say polite words, but they said it so neatly, it's obvious that someone arranged it!
I raised my glass with a smile and said, "Drink it up!" I drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The four hundred alliance members also drank the wine and sat back in their original places.
I poured the second glass of wine and said, "To all the members who didn't participate in the event today, thank you for your hard work in guarding your homes so that they can go out with peace of mind. Everyone is working hard and making sacrifices for the development of the Thunder Alliance. Even now, there are still sentinels guarding their posts to guard against sneak attacks from monsters or enemies. You are the foundation for the survival and development of the Thunder Alliance. I believe that our joint efforts will surely make the gang stronger! This glass of wine is for all the members!"
This time, it was more chaotic. Most of the alliance members cheered loudly and some shouted slogans: "The Thunder Alliance is the strongest gang in Fantasy!" "The leader is the boss and the gang is my home!" The atmosphere was extremely lively.
I poured another glass and said, "This third glass of wine is for the warriors who have performed the best in this event. Team God from the Divine Realm, step forward!"
The God Realm God and his 39 members stood up, quickly gathered together, and lined up in a neat formation. I nodded secretly. The training exercises they had been doing during this period were effective. These members looked like an army! Many of them were selected for the event because of their outstanding training performance!
I said, "Today, the 10 teams from the God Realm took four hours and sixteen minutes to complete the task of challenging two D-level bosses! I toast to you and congratulate you on receiving such an honor!"
Everyone drank the wine in their cups at the same time amidst thunderous applause. I continued, "I said that this is an event and a competition, and the winners will receive rewards. Now I will fulfill my promise. As the leader of the alliance, I will reward each member of the God Realm God Team with a level 40 gold equipment!"
The alliance members were in an uproar. Although equipment in Fantasy is not as scarce as it was in the beginning, there is still very little equipment with attributes. Gold equipment can be considered top-grade equipment, and level 40 equipment is the most sought-after item at the moment, with a market price of around one thousand gold coins. I took out 40 pieces as prizes at once. How big of a deal is that?
Hehe, actually I bought all these gold equipment from the store in the City of the Dead. It didn’t cost me too much, so it’s best to use them as a favor!
The Divine Realm God Team received the prize and sat back down. I raised my glass again and said, "In addition to the Divine Realm God Team, I also want to congratulate the Only Me Team. They have the most reapings of all the teams, especially a level 6 pet egg. This alone is estimated to be worth more than 100,000 gold coins! As the leader, I will add icing on the cake and reward each of you with a level 38 gold equipment. I also toast to you!"
The members of the "I Am The Only One" team were overjoyed, because the rules of this event were that the gold coins dropped by monsters would be divided equally among the team members. All the equipment obtained would be handed over to the profiteer, and an auction would be held next week. Each item would have a record of which team obtained it, and 70% of the money would be divided equally among the team members who obtained the item, and the remaining 30% would be distributed uniformly by the alliance to the members who did not participate in the event. The "I Am The Only One" team heard that this pet egg was worth at least 100,000 gold coins, which means that each of them could get nearly 2,000 gold coins from this egg, plus the income from other equipment, and now each of them was rewarded with a gold equipment, which was a super big harvest!
After the rewards were given, the next thing was of course to drink and have fun together. Occasionally, some members played friendly PK in the open space, fighting each other for fun, and the onlookers cheered loudly. Some members who participated in the event talked about their experience of challenging the boss with great enthusiasm, and the audience listened with relish. Well, it was really a successful event. If it weren't for the accident that Fatty and his friends encountered, it would have been perfect!
