Before travelling to the Revenant Lands, Lu Li had already planned to take on the wasteland’s Howling Caves. However, he knew that it was going to be very difficult, so he was meticulously making preparations.
The higher the level of an Instance Dungeon, the more difficult it was. A ten-player Instance Dungeon like the Howling Caves would teach the players the true meaning of despair.
But this time, it would be different, as the Xin Xin Mercenary Group’s members were mostly at least LV20. Azure Sea Breeze was already LV21, so he would not receive bonus damage from the first three Bosses due to their level difference.
Despite this and the fact that they had enough players, they couldn’t simply take on the Howling Caves.
Lu Li wanted Wandering and the others to attempt their Profession Upgrade Quests, as players who had completed these were generally stronger.
While they did this, he was going to practice his Forging Trade Skill. His Engineering had already brought him substantial returns and surely, the highly-regarded Forging Trade Skill would not disappoint him.
At that moment, a System Prompt sounded in his ear.
This was accompanied by brightly-colored text appearing on all the channels. Every player in Dawn had received this announcement.
System: The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming and we would like to spend this festive time with you! On the 27th of September 2215, Dawn will be hosting a series of events: 1 – Mooncakes from the sky – the whole map will randomly drop Mooncake Gift Boxes. 2 – The Shadow Cup PVP competition will begin. 3 – All the craftsmen NPCs in all towns and villages will refresh. 4 – …
There were 10 events altogether, ranging from PVE to PVP and Combat professions to Trade Professions. Even Data Collectors and casuals could take part in them. As long a player participated in some way, they would receive the rewards.
It was needless to say that the most important events were the first three. At the very least, Lu Li would put his effort the first three.
The first event was open to all players. Most players were likely to find a Mooncake Gift Box, which had a chance of dropping Potions, Equipment, Materials, toys, Mooncakes etc.
Moreover, there was a chance that a monster could drop a Mooncake Gift Box. This chance was higher when fighting a Boss.
As the name of the second event suggested, it was a PVP event. In fact, this was the event that all of the experts were interested in.
The Shadow Cup was a historical gaming tournament. It was started 160 years ago by Shadow and had quickly become an integral part of entertainment culture.
It was said that this cup was the creation of one senior player. Players watched as he had decided one day to start the Shadow Cup, which he then persisted to host for over 100 years.
His slogan was intimidating: As the Shadow never dies, so will this event never end!
All his descendants had to declare that statement before they could take on any tasks for the Shadow Cup.
Shadow had also suffered some career lows in the past 100 years, but whenever these occurred, countless players would flock to the cinemas to support him.
As technology developed to the point where food could be synthesized and factories had become fully autonomous, human resources were eventually freed. Anyone, rich or poor, could now support the entertainment industry and the influence of the Shadow Cup naturally rose again.
The most important thing was that the winnings of each Shadow Cup totaled tens of millions of dollars in real money.
The third event was also for all players, as anyone could accept the quest. However, as the NPC would only give out Trade Skill related quests, it was considered a Trade Skill event.
“That sounds awesome,” Azure Sea Breeze grinned.
“Tch, what could you possibly participate in?” Wandering glanced at him with disdain, which successfully sent the Main Tank into a rage.
“You talking about me? Do you remember when you last asked me for help? If I didn’t bring the appendicitis medicine, you would have just laid in bed in pain. You called me and cried out to me to save you because you thought you were going to die,” Azure Sea Breeze retaliated.
“The events will start next week. Which events would you guys like to participate in?” Lu Li quickly cut them off. If they fought each other out here in the wilderness, one of them would die and lose EXP.
“Can’t we participate in all of them?” Hachi Chan’s eyes lit up, feeling like her time had come.
“You could, but it would be better to just focus on one. We can split into small groups to work out which of these events are the most cost effective.” Lu Li couldn’t find a way to tell them that the first three events were the best and could only make tact recommendations.
