Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Large-scale Attack Quest
The next morning, the Players rushed all the way, filled with hatred towards Eagle Lord Sivey Golden Lion, with eagerness and excitement for the war, finally entering the sphere of influence of Winterfell.
At this moment, a crisp Quest notification sound popped up in the information panels of all Players:
[Attention all Players: Large-scale war Quest “Attack on Winterfell” has been initiated]
[Main Quest: Kill Eagle Lord Sivey Golden Lion]
[Optional Side Quest: Rescue Saintess Zoe]
[Quest Time Limit: Unlimited]
[Quest Participants: Unlimited]
[Quest Level Requirement: Level 10 or above]
[Quest Reward 1: All Players accepting the Quest receive a 30,000 experience point reward. Players who kill enemies receive experience points, and after the war, all Players share the experience pool rewards. Experience points can also be exchanged for memory-clearing potions (1,000 experience points per bottle) from Ye Hao.]
[Quest Reward 2: Common-grade Equipment to Heroic Equipment (free to pick)]
[Quest Reward 3: Gold coins (free to pick)]
[Quest Reward 4: Special NPC follower, demi-human girl Lori (Note: This NPC cannot be forcibly subdued and requires the use of memory-clearing potions ×?; this reward is unique)]
[Quest Reward 5: Special NPC follower, Clement · Seth (Note: This NPC cannot be forcibly subdued and requires the use of memory-clearing potions ×50; this reward is unique)]
[Quest Reward 6: Special NPC follower, Gudbay (Note: This NPC cannot be forcibly subdued and requires the use of memory-clearing potions ×1; this reward is unique)]
[Quest Reward 7: Other NPC followers, no need to use memory-clearing potions, Players can subdue them based on personal charm, current subduing difficulty (extremely difficult)]
[Quest Reward 8: After completing the Quest, all Players participating in the battle will receive the title “Eagle Territory Subverter”]
To be honest, Players had never seen such generous rewards for a Quest before.
Before this, they were hunting, mining, chopping trees, and guarding city walls.
They usually got a few hundred experience points at a time, but now they were getting thirty thousand, plus the experience pool sharing.
Players who had experienced the orc campaign in the Black River Territory basically knew the nature of this game. The big rewards often came from free picks. Now, from Reward 2 to Reward 7, they were all typical free pick rewards, which could be considered luxurious.
This Quest was simontaneously released on the panels of all Players, but only those within the Winterfell’s sphere of influence could accept it, undoubtedly making a group of lone Players who wanted to experience the game themselves regret not following along.
“Quest refresh! Quest refresh!”
Some Players were already excitedly shouting.
“It seems like we’re almost at Winterfell!”
“Are you blind? Although it’s a bit far away, can’t you see such a big city in the distance?”
“Damn! This reward, big shots, what’s a demi-human girl Lori? Does this game have a nurturing system?”
“Charge! I want an old knight! Old knights are the best!”
“There’s a follower system, but we’re too noob. Before, only the militia from Dawn Town was willing to follow us, or stray cats and dogs. There’s only one follower slot, so it’s best not to recruit randomly.”
“Why does an old knight need 50 bottles of potion? That demi-human girl is even more outrageous, she’s simply a [?].”
…
Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other is a second-test commoner Player.
He is a genuine zero-spender, making a living from the game as a commoner, a lone gold dealer who dominates multiple games.
However, this game has not yet opened up avenues for spending money, so Players can only set prices for buying and selling among themselves.
Everything can be traded, from chopping trees and mining to the initial linen clothes, everything except py can be freely bought and sold.
What’s this? This is simply a boon for the gold dealer!
Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other first learned about this game when he was in Avatar’s live stream room.
At that time, he thought this game was bound to be popular, and he was sure he could make money from it, but getting a testing qualification was too difficult.
On the first day of the second test, he made a reservation with the intention of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he got one of the ten thousand spots.
At the beginning of the game, he chose the mage Class and then followed the [Big Shot, Take Me Flying] Quest available to newbies, crazily chopping trees, mining, and hunting and killing Demonic Beasts with a group of veteran Players to level up.
Originally, there were some Quests in Dawn Town, but most of the NPC Quests were gone, and even the cesspools in Dawn Town were cleaned out by a group of second-test Players in less than two hours.
In less than five days, he spent almost all his time in the game.
Sleep? Sleeping while lying in the game warehouse playing the game is sleeping, real sleeping is a waste of life for a true liver.
Efforts pay off, and on the day the large army set out, his level reached fifteen.
Actually, someone like him, a true liver, could level up even faster under the guidance of an average Level 20+ veteran Player.
But most of the trees around Dawn Town were already chopped bare, and the surrounding Demonic Beasts were all killed.
In the game “Cain Continent,” besides running around naked with a holy light, the pursuit of reality has reached its peak.
Once the trees are gone, they’re gone, and low-level Demonic Beasts won’t respawn once killed. What’s left are things that both new and veteran Players can’t deal with—mid-level Demonic Beasts.
A dozen people going to fight them wouldn’t be enough to be their lunch, and you can also spend money to hire more people to form a group to kill them.
But the mid-level Demonic Beasts aren’t stupid; a Player’s attack just barely breaks through their defenses, and if you want to control them, forget it. When these Demonic Beasts see more people, they just slip away on their own.
So basically, no one has the idea of going to fight mid-level Demonic Beasts. Even with careful planning, it’s not impossible to kill them, but the efficiency is too low, and it’s not worth the effort.
Therefore, most of the second-test Players who don’t want to liver or spend money have to do some boring Quests to level up, and they have also learned a lot of practical Skills in the Quests.
Such as how to mine without burying yourself, how to maintain balance while picking up dung, how to avoid getting crushed by trees while chopping them down, and five styles of wall-building techniques, and so on.
As for the true livers, they have to run to places farther from Dawn Town to kill Demonic Beasts, which delays a lot of time.
This realistic game mechanism has led to the increasing polarization in the game as the number of Players increases and time goes by.
The strong become stronger, and the weak become weaker.
The first-hand resources are always obtained first by higher-level Players. If you don’t have money to hire people or have hardened livers, then just honestly be a salted fish and level up slowly.
Many new Players criticize this game mechanism, complaining that playing a game shouldn’t be as competitive as a workplace, and even many Players roar that they want to quit the game.
But in reality, no one quits the game.
Fragrant as the wind, often accompanies me.
Care For Wealth And Forget Each Other has no complaints about the game mechanics of Cain Continent; what you gain is what you lose.
Having an absolutely immersive gaming experience naturally means being closer to reality in other aspects.
Besides, being a salted fish Player doesn’t necessarily mean no gaming fun. With such a huge map, as long as you have an indomitable spirit, you can completely explore the orc Empire and have a pleasant barbecue party with those friendly orc soldiers.
