Among the approximately one million Moon Rank members across the entire continent, I am ranked 398th.
Linda had no idea what the ranking organizers were thinking.
As a mere level 42 support, what qualifications do I have to be in such a high position?
But Linda had no way to argue her point, because the list wasn't compiled by the Adventurers' Guild.
It was the demons who arranged it.
The higher the adventurer's ranking, the more bounty the Demon King's castle will give.
The monthly ranking only records the top 1,000 adventurers. Linda 398, the reward amount is purple gold coins.
Converted to regular gold coins, that's a whopping 1 billion!
Besides herself, Linda also saw several familiar faces on the list.
Ranked 987th in the monthly rankings, [Frost Swordsman] Isa.
784th on the monthly ranking, [Blazing Flames] Lia.
Monthly Ranking 777, [Mind's Eye] Eberna.
66th on the monthly rankings, [Steel Wolf Soul] Wogang!
Another ten-star adventurer, [Magician] Romanri, is also on the list. She is ranked 69th below Vogan.
The bounty for these two individuals is a staggering 1 million gold coins.
As for the top 10 super monster-level adventurers, the reward amount is calculated based on legendary equipment.
A candidate for sainthood in the church, a rising star at the Adventurers' Guild headquarters, and a scion of a top family in the capital.
These are all star-level NPC characters who, although not cheating, are suspected by players of having built-in cheats.
When you reach the top 10 in mainland China, it's not just about individual combat strength anymore; status and position become even more important.
Killing a candidate for saintess of the Church of Light would be enough to cause a stir on the continent, which would be beneficial for the demon race's invasion. Naturally, similar figures would be placed at the forefront.
"It's easy to defend against ambushes in the game; you can just log off. But in this other world, you won't have time to catch your breath. Once you're in the top 10 of the monthly rankings, you won't be able to sleep soundly."
Linda was secretly on guard, thinking that it was best to stay around 400th on the monthly ranking and never try to break into the top.
That being said...
Linda has three purposes for entering the 20th level of the Great Mystic Realm.
The first one is simple and straightforward: defeat the monster leader on the mountain and gain experience points.
On floor 20, adventurers are level 40-49. If the average level of the Phoenix Tail Flower is 46, then you should be too cautious.
Linda's second objective is related to the legendary item, the [Avis Badge].
The item description states that, guided by moonlight, the Yavis Badge will help him find the dungeon entrance.
Linda doesn't plan to tackle this dungeon for now; she'll find its location and make a note of it first.
As for the last objective...
A cold glint flashed in Lin Da's eyes.
He can't sleep peacefully until the Bear Roar Adventurers are eliminated.
If you encounter those bear-headed brothers on the 20th floor, kill them if you can!
As I pondered, the clock tower in the square emitted a long "clang," and the golden, tree-shaped hour hand pointed to noon.
"It's finally about to begin."
Linda murmured.
He looked at his team members, nodded solemnly, and said, "Let's go."
Two teams, totaling sixteen people, held hands and used the teleportation stone.
This complies with the player limit for Greater Rifts. A maximum of two adventure teams can enter together, with a total number of people not exceeding twenty.
The idea of having the entire city's adventure teams enter together is a bizarre and ingenious technique that is not recognized by the World Tree.
Whoosh whoosh.
Blue light descended from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Linda and her group disappeared.
The adventurers from White Dove City, watching from afar, placed their hands on their chests and silently prayed for the Phoenix Flower and the White Dove.
"Phoenix tail flower, white dove, you must come back safely!"
"My house is waiting to appreciate in value!"
"Damn, you're still thinking about your lousy house? Are you never going to stop? If you ask me, why don't you buy the limited edition swimsuit version of the 'Eye of Truth' figure that I've been hoarding?"
20 floors, ten thousand mountains.
A blue beam of light, five meters in diameter, descended from the sky.
As the light faded, the figures of the Phoenix Tail Flower and the White Dove Adventurers were revealed.
"This is the Ten Thousand Mountains"
Lin Da looked ahead, his eyes slightly widened.
Amidst the pervasive white mist, the faint silhouettes of mountains could be seen, stretching endlessly like towering giants.
Looking up at those towering mountains, every adventurer who enters this place for the first time will feel their own insignificance.
What kind of immense power would be needed to conquer this land? Some are thrilled by it, while others are disheartened and lose the motivation to move forward.
“There are a hundred thousand mountains like this,” Alberta said, clenching his fist. “If only we could challenge all the monster bosses here.”
“No one can do that.” Linda came to his senses and chuckled, “Killing 100,000 demon leaders would have already advanced to the Saint rank and left this place.”
After calming down, Linda observed her surroundings.
This is the outer area; it will take several hundred more miles to reach the foot of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Adventurers call this area the "preparation zone," as it is relatively safe and unlikely to encounter dangerous monsters.
Of course, the danger doesn't just come from the monsters themselves; adventurers from all the nearby cities, as well as the demons themselves, will descend upon the preparation area!
According to the announcement from the World Tree Divine Court, adventurers from ten cities on the Secret Realm Continent and ten cities on the Demon Realm Continent have arrived at Preparation Area 175.
Assuming each city has an average of three sunrise-level...
So, this preparation area brought together a total of sixty teams.
It can be described as a gathering of outstanding talents.
The surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog, with visibility limited to no more than ten meters; beyond that, everything was almost a blur.
Linda closed her eyes and used her magic to sense things.
Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, all that can be perceived is complete darkness.
