Chapter 648: Chapter 648: The Overall Situation
“Well, I want to participate too, and I need to set some of the details… This doesn’t seem quite right,” Li Yao was excited, but still hesitated.
Logically speaking, if he was talking to the queen, his hesitation would have probably gotten him kicked out immediately.
But now, he was facing the Archangel, whose character made him patient with this kind of reluctance.
“All I am looking for is the result,” The Archangel laughed, and continued, “You must know, the three major camps have just fought against the centaurs and, although they weren’t greatly injured, it wouldn’t be feasible for them to go into battle right now. You new recruits will have to take up the challenge. The special rules of the Trial Ground give you the hope of breaking through, this is your opportunity. It might not have a big impact on you, but for other new recruits, it can provide a significant boost.”
“Okay, I understand,” Li Yao sighed. This Archangel was truly impressive, even under these circumstances, he was still considering ways to enhance the strength of the new recruits. He was indeed praiseworthy.
Main Task: Capture the Heaven’s Trial Ground
Task Description: Hell’s armies have already invaded Heaven, disrupting the balance of the entire world. However, the three major camps have been greatly weakened, digesting the fruits of war. The capture of the Trial Ground is of utmost urgency. If Hell’s scheme cannot be thwarted, the Ancient God World will be invaded by the coming Void Lord.
Task Objective: Capture the Trial Ground within a month.
Task Reward: Title of Trial Instructor, fragments of the Archangel’s Wing, level up by one, 1000 reputation points with the three major camps, guild level up by one (necessarily accepted by the guild leader), land deed for an area within the Trial Ground.
Li Yao took a deep breath, the rewards were too great, not including the benefits gained during the process of moving through the Trial Ground.
The title of Trial Instructor, although he didn’t know what attributes it carried, main task rewards were bound to be good. No need to even mention the Angel’s Wing, the Archangel’s wing contained a major portion of his power, even gathering a piece of it was incredibly difficult.
The level and reputation were icing on the cake, important to others but just decent rewards for him.
But the guild level increase was really exciting. The guild was about to be upgraded to level four. Once it reached level five, even if they were still a bit away from the top guilds, they would be on par with the large guilds.
Although it was only the guild level, as long as they had some time to adjust, Starfire wouldn’t be considered a small guild.
The land deed of the Trial Ground was also a great thing. Having sole ownership of the land, and moreover, within Heaven, was invaluable.
Once the Trial Ground was captured, it would become the springboard for them to conquer Heaven. When the level was high enough, it would undoubtedly boom with prosperity. The value of this land deed was incalculable.
Current players still didn’t understand the concept of Heaven, only Li Yao could grasp the magnificence and grandiose of Heaven.
Li Yao returned to the guild base, summoned the elders, and instructed them on the preparations they needed to make.
The whole of Starfire was in action, especially the sweeping of auctions.
Because Li Yao controlled the Heroes’ Leaderboard, he could control the opening time within certain rules and establish attack strategies.
This was considered the climax of the epoch event, if you wanted to play, you had to play according to the strategy set by Li Yao.
This was the advantage of seizing the initiative. Some guilds, seeing the movements of Starfire, also began to follow suit.
Although they didn’t know what Starfire was up to, many keen merchants also joined in.
Li Yao had to release the event rules at this time tomorrow, but one day was enough.
What Starfire lacked was not idle Gold Coins.
Starfire was sweeping the auction house madly, buying all the materials for making Light and Dark Potions, while also unceremoniously clearing out these two formulas.
Starfire was bustling through the night. The merchants who saw the fluctuations in the auction house didn’t hesitate and bought in.
In a short time, the prices of Dark and Light Potion ingredients soared, but the supply was significantly less.
At the same time, while the merchants who followed Starfire’s trail were hoarding materials, Starfire’s Alchemists were turning these materials into batches of potions.
In reality, this was just a front. In secret, Starfire was quietly buying up scrolls and equipment that increased attribute damage.
However, there were too many equipment and such, people didn’t notice them.
The effects of Light and Dark Potions were simple. They attribute weapons and attacks into corresponding light or dark attacks.
“We’re almost ready, you can start now,” Jie Li said cheerfully as she ran into Li Yao’s lab.
Li Yao didn’t stop his work, manufacturing attribute bullets smoothly.
“How many potions do we have?”
Jie Li replied, “The amount we’ve made overnight is enough for our guild to use. We can now sell a large batch. But, isn’t the price you set a bit high? Will people buy it? These two potions were originally several copper coins a bottle, the cost was only about fifteen copper coins. You’re now selling them for 50 silver coins a bottle, isn’t that a bit of a rip-off?”
“Don’t worry, they will definitely sell. Now those merchants only have materials, the formulas are all in our hands. The production is limited, but the event won’t wait for anyone. The materials for this batch of potions are less than a tenth of the total, we can completely break even, and still have a surplus. Just wait and count the money.”
Li Yao stopped working and handed the Heroes’ Leaderboard to Jie Li, saying, “Take a look, then hang it on the Undead Capital’s guild board in our guild’s name. The event will be considered open with this.”
Jie Li looked at the Heroes’ Leaderboard and a look of joy spread across her face. She then summoned all the guild’s combatants.
Shortly after returning to the Undead Capital’s guild base, a rainbow-colored screen appeared in everyone’s vision.
“System: The downfall of Heaven has unbalanced the elements of the world. To prevent the Void Lord from invading the Ancient God World, the Archangel has commissioned Prairie Fire to capture the Heaven’s Trial Ground as a springboard to attack Heaven.”
“System: Heaven’s Trial Ground event has started, players level 20 and above can accept the task from the guild or kingdom in the next two hours. In addition, Heaven’s Quartermaster has arrived in each major city, and players can consult with them about the rewards.”
The whole world erupted in excitement. A fricking Main Task! Everyone involved with Starfire guild felt helpless.
What was a Main Task? It was knowing that the participant with the greatest gains from the Main Task would be Prairie Fire, yet still being unable to refrain from participating.
Because if you didn’t participate, there would be plenty of others who would.
Just the early stages of the epoch event reaped enough benefits. And now this Trial Ground event had colorful announcements and even the low-ranking angels, the heaven’s quartermasters, had descended onto the cities. Upon seeing the long reward exchange list of the quartermaster, everyone went wild…
