On the second day after the Yin Soul Eye Seal was broken…
Evil spirits were wandering everywhere in the Land of Beiqi, while the majority of the players took refuge in the Mansion of the Dead, as they transitioned from progression mode to survival mode.
Currently, the players could only go out in small parties to fight; traveling solo was simply suicidal.
Other than a few exceptionally professional players, not many players could fight the spirits alone. A lot of new players had even grouped together in parties of over a hundred people before going out to guarantee their own safety.
At this stage, the players were both pleased and unsatisfied with the current situation.
Even though there were endless creatures to kill, waves of attacks would occasionally rain on the Mansion of the Dead, causing the rate of deaths to become exceptionally high. Therefore, the shop’s mahogany houses and other items became must-have items. This allowed Lu Wu to earn a huge sum of money.
At the same time, Lu Wu finally released the long-awaited players’ rankings and the raiding parties’ rankings leaderboard.
[Players’ Ranking Leaderboard]:
Number 1: Ao Jian: Level 82, Character Class: Ten Swords Demonic Sect
Number 2: Qi Ming: Level 79, Character Class: Ghost Monster
Number 3: Feng Yuxiu: Level 79, Character Class: Five Elements Warlock
Number 4: Su Xiaoba: Level 79, Character Class: Five Elements Warlock
Number 5: Gu Yu: Level 78, Character Class: Demonic God’s Apostle
Number 6: Qing Dou: Level 78, Character Class: Five Elements Warlock
Number 7: Liu Gan: Level 77, Character Class: Mage
Number 8: Ye Xue’er: Level 74, Character Class: Cursed Apostle
……
The leaderboard allowed the players to know the levels of the current top-ranking players during this season.
In order to increase the functionality of the ranking leaderboard, Lu Wu would even give rewards for those who made the leaderboard quarterly.
For the players in the Top 100 of the leaderboard at the end of each quarter, they would receive a blue Pioneer title as a reward (valid for 30 days).
A second ranking was also introduced to allow the players to compare the points of each raiding party.
[Raiding Parties Points Scoreboard]:
Number 1: Demolition Officers Team 1 (100 people): 321 points
Number 2: Great Dragon Guild Team 1 (100 people): 320 points
Number 3: Myth Team 1 (100 people): 302 points
Number 4: Demolition Officers Team 3 (100 people): 298 points
Number 5: Avengers Team 1 (100 people): 298 points
……
It was obvious that after the invasion of the evil spirits, compared to the relatively stable players’ ranking leaderboard, the competition in the raiding party scoreboard was much more fierce.
At any point in time, the ranking could change when a raiding party killed a high-level spirit in the wild.
For the final reward, the guilds began to play their best again.
At this stage of the invasion of evil, Bei Li had also begun to burn the midnight oil, as they had exhausted their supply of soul coins to create a new building type called the Zombie Forging Room.
After an entire night, the Zombie Forging Room finally emerged at the border of the Mansion of the Dead’s safe zone.
[Zombie Forging Room]:
Specific Functions: Players can collect dead evil corpses as raw materials, and pass them to the steward of the Zombie Forging Room to obtain Zombie Spirit Points. With enough zombie spirits, players will be able to use the Zombie Forging Room to forge evil beings into a one-time subordinate.
The forging room aimed to increase the game’s playability and more importantly, rationalize the game resource mechanics.
The concept of the Zombie Forging Room was originally from Lu Wu, as he felt that leaving the residual corpses of the spirits in the wild was too wasteful. Hence, he asked Bei Li if it was possible to collect and reuse them.
Bei Li immediately patted her chest and replied affirmatively. Soon, she created the Zombie Forging Room.
The principle of the Zombie Forging Room was extremely easy. First, one needed to collect the residual corpses of the evil spirits. Then they had to use the Zombie Forging Room to process and purify them in order to obtain zombie spirit points. Finally, the zombie spirit points could be used to create digitized spirits, like forging a one-time pet that would listen to all instructions (and then disappear after death).
Of course, Lu Wu would charge a fee to forge evil spirits at the Zombie Forging Room. The higher the level of the spirits, the required zombie spirit points for forging and the service fee would also be much higher.
For the players who liked playing as a summoner, the introduction of this mode filled them with immense excitement.
In fact, players could be seen offering high prices for corpses in the safe zone at the Mansion of the Dead. After they had collected an entire sack of evil corpses, they would send it to the Zombie Forging Room to process them into one-time subordinates.
However, the processing of the evil spirits in this mode was not profitable. Ten corpses of similarly ranked spirits needed to be forged to accumulate enough zombie spirit points to forge a digitized evil subordinate of equal rank.
However, this brought excitement to many players, as they could sell the evil corpses for coins as well.
All of the new content made the players feel bitter and happy at the same time. They were bitter because they couldn’t stop spending soul coins, and they were happy because the various gameplays created by this new mode were very interesting.
Since it was exceptionally difficult to survive in the wild now, it allowed many players to experience the anxiety and thrill of a terrifying apocalypse.
……
In the burial grounds, two silhouettes were painstakingly making their way forward.
After walking past the Northern part of the burial grounds near the Mansion of the Dead, both of them suddenly curled in and hid behind a huge rock.
Before their eyes, Gu Hui and others from the Myth Guild were surrounding and battling fiercely with a Level 150 Evil Ferocious Spirit.
Although the raiding party comprised of a hundred people, the Evil Ferocious Spirit was truly strong. Gu Yu and the others could not do much against it at the moment, and could only keep grinding away to wear it down.
Luckily, the Evil Ferocious Spirit was battling instinctively and did not have any real desire to fight. Under the teamwork of Gu Yu and the others, the raiding party did not suffer any serious losses or damage.
“What’s the matter, should we hide further away?” Little Sha asked a little nervously.
“Alright!” Hu He resolutely answered.
“Wait, wait…” Hu He suddenly stopped Little Sha from running away.
“You are a Ghost General, what are you afraid of? No matter how many people there are, they still can’t beat you!”
“Oh, that’s right!” Little Sha suddenly replied.
Hu He felt like he wanted to cover his face, as he wondered which Zombie Forgemaster forged an extremely timid yet ridiculously strong zombie spirit like Little Sha.
“So, what should we do now?” the utterly hapless Little Sha asked again.
“Let’s hide for now, avoid confrontations at all costs, and safety first!”
Thus, they squatted behind the gigantic rock, listening quietly to the clashing sounds of magic and flesh meshing with the bloodthirsty yelling from the players.
Sun Qi, who was busy treating his party member, furrowed his brows, and looked at the gigantic rock.
“Boss, there’s an evil corpse over there, I can smell the thick scent of zombie energy!”
“Go and see, but don’t be ambushed. We need to deal with this first,” after he had finished speaking, Gu Yu disappeared in a flash, appearing behind the Zombie Ferocious Spirit and forcefully threw a punch at him.
When Sun Qi noticed this, he immediately descended from the air and walked toward the gigantic rock.
Sun Qi was extremely careful to be safe, as he jumped onto the gigantic rock from the side and peered over the edge.
Six pairs of eyes instantly met each other, as the three of them were all astonished.
“Zombie Forgemasters!”
“Dog!”
“My God, a White Phantom!”
The three people shouted shockingly in unison.
“Shush, keep quiet, dog,” Hu He’s face was adorned with an apologetic smile, as he lowered his voice to speak.
Sun Qi solemnly nodded. Then, he looked to the sky and shouted loudly, “Boss, the bastard Zombie Forgemaster is here. Hurry up you guys, I’ve caught him!”
“Run!”
Hu He wanted to flee immediately, but a murderous intent flashed in Sun Qi’s eyes, as he bit Hu He’s arm. No matter how hard Hu He tried, he could not free himself from Sun Qi.
To be honest, the ones who hated Hu He the most were most definitely the civilian players. As one himself, Sun Qi’s eyes began to redden.
He still had not obtained the coins to upgrade the ship, but he needed to purchase a house and upgrade it as well. Besides, he would need to upgrade his door god, too. This troublemaker must not be allowed to exist under the same sky as me!
When the parties of the Myth Guild that were attacking the Evil Ferocious Spirit heard the words Zombie Forgemaster, they were thunderstruck. Then, all of them rushed to the gigantic rock and gathered around it, paying no more attention to the Evil Ferocious Spirit.
