◎The silhouette of the Ceylon Mountains◎

No wonder the influx of 70% of the population at once failed to cause the Novice Village to explode. It turned out that it was because of a miracle that opened up the second human continent besides the Shia Continent - the Rose Continent.

Back at the guild headquarters, Xia Li chatted with Baili Xi, Qingzhengyu, Zi Teng, and the others. Combining this with the opinions of other players on the forum, they finally came to a conclusion: in order to balance the population and player strength of the two continents, the system had shuffled all the players in the background, then randomly selected IDs to divide them into camps. The system only stopped the background extraction when the number of players on the Rose continent roughly matched that on the Shia continent.

After all this trouble, some old players who had been doing well in the Shia continent suddenly learned that they were transferred to the Rose continent. Upon receiving the news, they immediately protested, whether it was calling manual customer service or posting complaints on the forum. In short, as long as they could think of it, the players would not let go of any complaints and vowed to fight the official to the end!

"Damn it! The system sent me another message, reminding me to hurry back to Rose Continent!" Zi Teng rolled her eyes in frustration, confused as to why she was the only one removed from Fengyun Tianxia's core membership. "This is so fucking unfair! I've made a lot of contributions to our Xia Continent, after all. Damn the officials, they show no mercy at all!"

Upon hearing this, Qingzhengyu coughed cautiously, "Um... Sister, you're no longer a player from the Xia Continent..."

After saying that, he pointed at the ID above Zi Teng's head and continued to attack: "Look, your ID has turned black."

Black, in the setting of Miracles, means the enemy camp.

Zi Teng glared at the steamed fish, and the latter quickly shut his mouth.

According to the game announcement updated three minutes ago, the two continents of Xia and Rose are tentatively divided into two different camps. Players entering a continent that does not belong to their own camp can freely launch attacks on other players on the continent (commonly known as PK). The attacking party will not be marked as a red name, and will not be punished for failed attacks. After the attack is successful, the player can also obtain three random items dropped from the opponent's backpack.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this official setting is a warning to players: Don’t “visit” each other without thinking.

Fortunately, the announcement stated that the lack of interoperability is only temporary. Perhaps one day in the future, the two continents will start cooperation.

But who can predict the future? This is just like making an IOU without any evidence. When Zi Teng thought of this, she became even more furious.

Xia Li completely understood Zi Teng's outburst. After all, after over two months of developing on the Shia Continent, she had painstakingly accumulated NPC favorability and reputation. Now, it was gone just like that. How could anyone feel good about that? Even more infuriating was that all players drawn to the Rose Continent had to leave their original guilds, because guilds couldn't follow a single faction. As long as the guild leader was from the Shia Continent, the entire guild wouldn't be able to move to the Rose Continent.

In addition to Zi Teng, other players were also yelling at the top of their lungs on the platform. Everyone knew that it was not easy to earn guild contribution points. It was still okay for high-level players like Zi Teng. They were strong by nature. No matter where they went, they could earn the money back by leading the new guild team to open up a few dungeons. But it was completely different for the other large number of small-time players. It would take at least 10 days to earn back 1,000 contribution points. Why should their contribution points be wiped out completely just to balance the power of the two continents?

In fact, in addition to this group of old players who were forced to go to the Rose Continent, some of the new players also had complaints in the world. After they opened the map and compared the topography of the Xia Continent and the Rose Continent, the sense of imbalance in their hearts became even stronger.

Although this was their first time entering the Miracle and they had never been to the Shia continent to their north, they could tell from the markings on the map that more than 60% of the Shia continent was plains, while in Rose, nearly 60% of the land was covered by continuous mountains.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that plains are more conducive to urban development than mountains. Especially when a town wants to expand its land and develop into a larger city, mountains will inevitably become a huge obstacle in their way.

Of course, the official is not stupid. After hearing the indignant voices of the Rose players, they quickly sent various compensation gift packs to their backpacks. The gift packs included experience points, precious equipment, rare items, and 1:1 exchangeable favorability, reputation, guild contribution value exchange cards, etc., covering almost all aspects.

Although Zi Teng was still dissatisfied and reluctant to leave everyone in Fengyun Tianxia, ​​he could not resist the authorities. The game was not designed by them, and they did not spend a penny in the game. The official compensated them, the Rose players, with so many things. After thinking about it, he let it go.

After accepting the gift packages, the other Rose players gradually became quiet and began to slowly accept the new continent that belonged to them.

Less than three days later, the condemnation on the world channel and forum finally stopped. At that moment, both Xia and Rose embarked on a new journey.

[Regional Map: Ceylon Mountain Range]

A level 30 outdoor map with many giant stone monsters, suitable for players of level 25-35 to level up. However, this time Xia Li did not come here to level up, but to look for clues.

The task Morgan gave her stated that she needed to find three clues in order to investigate the truth behind the empty magazine. The task instructed her that all the clues were hidden in the Ceylon Mountains, so Xia Li rushed here.

However, she searched in this mountain range for more than an hour but didn't even touch the clue. Feeling depressed, Xia Li simply stopped looking and turned to find a few stone monsters to practice, just in time to get over the level 30 hurdle.

As she thought, it came true. Just as she made up her mind, she heard heavy footsteps behind her.

2 stone monsters, one level 26 and the other 31, not bad.

Xia Li just glanced lightly, then accelerated her feet, and disappeared from the spot with a whoosh, like a thief who had cast the shadow teleportation spell.

The two stone monsters were about to attack, but the disappearance of their target made them pause. They seemed to not understand how the target that was in their sight just a second ago could disappear in the next second?

At the same time, a round shadow hidden behind the grass couldn't help but shake. Fortunately, the grass was more than ten meters away from the battlefield. Even if the shadow shook a little, it did not attract the attention of Xia Li and the stone monster.

Xia Li went around from the side and took advantage of the stone monsters' lack of reaction to throw a burst of poison gas on their heads.

The Stone Monster has relatively poor mobility and low damage. The reason why it can dominate the Ceylon Mountains is entirely due to its body structure that is as strong as a wall of steel. Except for high-damage professions such as mages who can quickly kill its health, other professions usually take a long time to deal with it.

But was she playing a different class? She was a Critical Alchemist. While she might not be as good as a Mage in terms of direct damage, she had yet to find anyone else in the entire Miracle World who could match her in terms of critical hits. As long as she could grasp a monster's weakness and strike quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, her damage output was no less than that of a Mage.

Just now, she released her second skill towards the back point of the level 26 stone monster. The double damage plus the weakness triggered a critical hit. The stone monster couldn't even raise the stone hammer to resist. In an instant, its health bar returned to zero and it fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the higher-level stone monster next to it angrily raised its stone hammer. The stone hammer had average attack power, but considering her profession, she was thin-skinned and fragile, so she couldn't withstand many ordinary attacks. Xia Li quickly took the opportunity to throw out the skill [Gold Bomb]!

A huge gold coin about half her height quickly took shape. The gold coin moved in the low air as her hand moved. As long as she did not release her hand within the prescribed 5 seconds, the gold coin would not fall to the ground.

The 5-second countdown above the gold coin entered the penultimate second. Xia Li seized the opportunity and unclenched her fist! The golden coin exploded with a bang!

She was pushed back three or four meters by the impact, but because she was prepared, the push did not cause her any harm. Instead, it increased the distance between her and the stone monster, protecting her from the other side's attack.

At the same time, the stone monster was also blown four meters away. The bomb caused 900 points of damage to it, which was not much, but this was not the most valuable part of the gold bomb. What Xia Li was secretly looking forward to most at this moment was how many gold coins she could pick up from the stone monster after the bomb exploded.

There was no other way, since her small treasury was not rich to begin with. In order to synthesize a new skill, she had to throw out more than 1,000 gold coins in exchange for a [Gold Coin Bomb]. If she couldn't get anything back through this skill, she, Xia Li, would feel sorry for the more than 1,000 gold coins that had been lost like water.

The giant stone monster was a little angry because of the bomb. It stared with its eyes as big as green beans, stood firm, roared, and rushed towards Xia Li!

Xia Li followed it closely, and suddenly, she saw several lights flash behind it. Gold coins! There really were gold coins! With every step the giant stone monster took, two or three gold coins fell from behind it!

So she no longer cared about her image as a great god. She lowered her head and swooped down. Taking advantage of the stone monster's inconvenience in moving, she quickly collected more than ten gold coins that fell from its body!

With such an opportunity to pick up gold coins for free, Xia Li was no longer in a hurry to defeat the stone monster in front of her, so she happily flew the kite and pulled the stone monster around the field. After the cooling time of the gold coin bomb was over, she made a new bomb. The gold coins exploded, and as expected, the stone monster rebounded again.

Probably realizing that it was no match for the human in front of it, this time the stone monster no longer foolishly attacked Xia Li. Instead, it directly withdrew its spear, turned around, and hid in the lush woods in a very embarrassed manner.

Looking at the stone monster's fleeing back, Xia Li sighed. She was so busy kiting the opponent that she forgot that the stone monster's maximum attack range was 10 meters and its maximum field of view was 15 meters. The explosion just now directly widened the distance between her and the stone monster to more than 10 meters, which was beyond the stone monster's attack range. In addition, the stone monster weighed the situation and felt that it was no match for her, so it simply gave up and turned around to run away.

Fortunately, a string of gold coins still fell from the stone monster's butt, but not as many as the first time, only 6 in total. Well, even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat. Xia Li did not despise it and still put it into the account with a smile.

At this moment, the shadow in the grass was already stunned, his eyes fixed on the outfit of the person in front of him. After a long while, he remembered that he had to go back and report to his tribesmen. So he took a step back with his squatting legs, and his round body moved deeper into the cave little by little.

Half a meter, one meter, two meters... Theodore counted in his mind. If he retreated another five or six meters, he would be completely out of the human's sight. He had to quickly tell the chief that a human had intruded into their territory!

However, Theodore was concentrating on counting his steps carefully when suddenly he saw a small shadow covering his head.

Although there are many trees in the Ceylon Mountains, most of them have slender leaves, and they don't grow large leaves like those in maple forests. If that's the case, then what is the shadow that suddenly fell on his head?

A terrifying thought suddenly came to his mind. Theodore's whole body stiffened, and he slowly raised his head. He saw that the human who was more than 10 meters away was suddenly standing in front of him with an inexplicable smile on his face. The hair on his body stood on end. Due to extreme fear, his body lost its center of gravity uncontrollably, and he sat down on the ground with a thud!

"I'm warning you, don't come over here!"
