Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Know
Tang Li hurried back after borrowing the book.
Today is the last day of the event. She and Li Zi have agreed to team up to participate in the Awakening the Glimmer Dragon event which will start at 6pm.
Thanks to the joint efforts of all players, all server-wide missions have been completed. Tang Li received all the gift packs as early as when the missions were completed. The pre-task of piecing together the star map was also completed early thanks to the efforts of all the hard-working players.
Therefore, their next task is to break the starlight shield and rescue the glimmer dragon trapped inside.
"You're just in time, join the team quickly." As soon as he saw Tang Li running over, Ju Lizi quickly invited her to join the team.
"Sorry, I was delayed a bit during the assessment." Tang Li walked into the team with an apologetic look on her face and asked Li Zi, who was fully armed with a bow and arrow, "Has it started yet?"
After she finished speaking, she looked around and found that someone was missing, "Is Brother Ci not here?"
"At the front." He Biduoyan pointed to the front excitedly.
Their gathering place was at the top of the cliff outside their camp, with a particularly good view. Passing through the dense crowd, Tang Li looked in the direction of He Biduoyan's finger. In the slightly darkening night sky, the agile figure of Cibuziyi was jumping back and forth in the air, giving Tang Li a hint of the dreamlike feeling of the comic protagonist in her memory.
All in all, it looks pretty cool.
Apparently, she wasn't the only one who had this idea, as many nearby players looked quite excited.
I didn't expect that he, who usually seems very low-key, would do something so conspicuous today. It's really not like his style.
"What are you doing?" Tang Li felt that the other party's actions looked familiar.
"Use the star map to calculate the direction of the Glimmer Dragon." Ju Lizi stared at the sky. "Although the boss will appear before all players if only one person finds the Glimmer Dragon's location, we suspect there's a hidden reward for the first player to find the dragon's location, so we've asked Brother Ci, who's more skilled at calculations, to take action."
No wonder he felt that the other party's actions just now were so familiar: "Brother Ci seems to be quite good at calculations." Tang Li suddenly realized that in the Dragon Nest copy, he was also able to make the stars crash into the platform in the simplest and most labor-saving way every time.
This also explains why his inability to express his ideas has attracted such attention. Although he is a low-key person, he is still very serious about the game and has obtained all the first kills and achievements he deserves.
Tang Li suddenly thought of what she said a few days ago about not planning to focus her main energy on the event. At that time, everyone also said that the event was not cost-effective and it didn't matter whether she participated or not.
Naturally, she went back to study her own potion.
Now that I think about it, maybe everyone knew that she didn't want to participate in the event, so they said that on purpose to accommodate her.
For a few people who have to explore new areas and kill monsters every day, no matter whether it is a gift box dropped at the hour or a gift box dropped by a boss, it is a simple matter to fill it up, and it does not require any extra energy at all.
Judging from how familiar they are with the activity, it’s obvious that they have invested a lot of energy in it during this period.
Yes, she treats the game more as a real-world immersive experience, while the others prefer the traditional player mode.
But even with two completely different attitudes towards gaming, it didn't affect their relationship with each other. I have to say that she really met a group of very good friends.
"Wow!"
“Look!”
A burst of noise interrupted her thoughts, and then her vision went dark.
Tang Li quickly looked up and saw that the sky that was originally full of sunset glow had turned into a night sky dotted with stars at some point.
He lost his strength and fell down, landing next to a few people.
"Did you get the reward?" Li Zi and others looked at him eagerly.
"Yeah." He smiled and nodded, unable to express his meaning clearly.
"yeah!!!"
The changes in the sky continued. Suddenly, a scratch appeared in the dark and quiet night sky, and then a transparent cover appeared along the scratch.
Everyone looked closely and saw a sleeping dragon with a faint glow lying quietly in the transparent cover.
Their mission tonight is to break the cover before 12 o'clock and wake up the sleeping dragon.
"cool!"
This is a very huge dragon. Looking from the ground, it seems that the entire sky is occupied by it. No matter where you stand, you can see it as long as you look up. The transparent cover covering the dragon is so close that it seems to be within reach.
Tang Li had previously wondered how so many players would defeat the server-wide boss. Was it a special space or were they all crammed together? If everyone was together today, would there be a stampede?
Now, seeing the size of the dragon, she immediately realized that she had been worrying too much.
Such a big target, not to mention that they are standing on the top of the cliff with a good situation, even if they are standing in the open space outside the camp, they can easily hit the other party.
At the same time as the scene in front of you, a long health bar appears. Players attack the health bar to cause damage. After completing the task, they will receive rewards of corresponding levels based on the amount of damage.
Maybe it's the aftereffect of playing too much game. Even if the health bar in front of you is frighteningly long, as long as the opponent dares to show it, you will have the urge to use your skills at all costs.
Tang Li felt that she was not the only one who thought so.
In just a short while, the health bar of the transparent starlight shield began to move slightly. It should be that the players in other places could not wait to start attacking.
The health bar in front of us seems to be endless, but it does not affect everyone's desire for victory at all. In fact, because there is a damage reward hanging in front, everyone always feels that if others attack one more time, their reward will be reduced by a few points, and they wish they could monopolize the BOSS.
That’s right, these players are so greedy!
Even though the health bar lost at this moment is insignificant compared to the total health, in the eyes of ambitious players, it is more painful than cutting flesh.
"Time waits for no one, let's act quickly." Many players have already rushed forward, shouting. For example, after calling out to the team, he let everyone go, holding up his staff and swinging his few rare attack skills.
The dads are no longer doing their jobs, and the others are like unbridled huskies, disappearing from business in the blink of an eye.
Tang Li was also infected by the passionate atmosphere and raised her staff to the sky.
A variety of skills fell on the starlight shield, and the colorful light almost illuminated the entire night sky. After the light of the skills dissipated, what remained on the starlight shield were more low-key but beautiful enough stars, like the faint aftertaste after the ultimate splendor.
The whole scene looks like a grand dream, and the aesthetics of "Magic Continent" are as stable as ever.
"It looks great, doesn't it?"
Tang Li turned her head, and she didn't know when the person she was talking to came to her side.
"Yeah." She nodded. Besides looking good, it also gave the player enough hitting feedback. Anyway, she was very excited at the moment, and couldn't help but smash up the skills in her hands one after another.
It looks good, I love looking at it, I never get tired of looking at it, so I’ll make more.
Looking at Tang Li's cheerful smile, Ci Budiyi turned his gaze back to the starlight shield, smiling and creating even more beautiful fireworks.
"Xiao Li, isn't it very relaxing and enjoyable?" Li Zi, who was having fun not far away, waved over here. Without waiting for Tang Li to answer, Li Zi was soon pulled to move forward again.
"Hahahaha." This is someone who is also having a great time, so why say more?
I always feel that the atmosphere on the scene is not like fighting monsters, but rather participating in a grand music festival.
Tang Li is essentially a bit of a homebody, and she has never seen such a scene before or now.
But it doesn't feel bad.
"Go, go, go!" The excellent meditation speed played a huge advantage at this moment. Tang Li privately thought that the sparks she created were the biggest, most beautiful, and had the highest frequency among all the sparks present.
Seeing that Tang Li was having fun, Cibudeyi next to her tried his best to unleash his skills on her fireworks to make them even more spectacular in order to make her happier.
"!!! Are you trying to compete with me to see who's more powerful?" Seeing her own skills being overwhelmed, Tang Li's fighting spirit was aroused. She looked at the opponent with a scorching gaze, "Come on, I won't admit defeat!"
Words don’t express what I meant: …???
Tang Li didn't care whether the other party accepted her challenge or not. Such a suitable occasion for practicing skills was rare. She had learned a lot of skills some time ago, and she had just started to learn many of them. She just took this opportunity to brush up her proficiency and improve the proficiency of all skills.
As she played, Tang Li suddenly remembered the fulfillment and sense of accomplishment she had felt a long time ago when she participated in activities day and night for game materials, as well as the excitement and passion of all players working together to defeat the BOSS for the same goal. She felt the joy of the game for the first time in a long time.
Time passes by little by little.
As the players continued to attack, the health bar of the Starlight Shield slowly decreased. When the progress reached one-third, the Starlight Shield, which was originally lying down and allowing no one to attack, began to attack the players.
At the beginning, no one was prepared, and with so many people gathered together, one person could be hit accurately.
Later... later everyone didn't learn their lesson. Maybe they thought it was fun to fight monsters with a group of players, or maybe the atmosphere was just like that. In short, many players just thought that if they died, they died. It happened to be an interesting experience for everyone to go back and forth together.
It is obvious that the players have been fighting monsters so hard that they have lost track of what is going on.
Fortunately, the nurse and tank professions did not give up on them. They can also get points by healing and resisting damage, and it is just their turn to perform.
The vigorous server-wide activities continued until late at night.
The giant dragon in the starlight shield quietly closed its eyes, looking weak and pitiful, completely different from the dragon in the Dragon's Nest dungeon where it lay in a pile of gold coins and lived a life of luxury.
"It's our turn to save the dragon."
Regardless of the plot setting or the fact that the opponent is indeed injured, saving the dragon seems to be more fun than defeating it.
Players don’t get bored either.
It's clearly just a mechanical throwing of skills, and sometimes it can take several hours, but no one finds it boring. Instead, the game becomes more and more exciting. After successfully breaking through the starlight shield and rescuing the dragon, many players even feel lost. Perhaps this is the charm of the game.
"Ang——" As the starlight shield shattered, a dragon roar resounded through the heaven and earth.
Under the clear night sky, a giant dragon with twinkling starlight soars freely in the sky, looking free and happy.
"Vivian!" The event NPC Ivy appeared in the night sky, excitedly calling her partner's name.
"Ivy!" The shimmering dragon, which was playing in the air like a puppy, heard a familiar voice and braked to a stop. Then, it quickly turned and shrank, running into the arms of its partner. "I'm back!"
"I miss you so much!"
"I missed you, Weiwei'an, too. Are you okay?" Ivy spun happily around in her arms, hugging her friend. "That's great! You're lively again!"
Looking at the reunited man and dragon, the players couldn't help but sigh: "That's great."
"This is the first time I've seen Ivy smile so happily. When I accepted the mission before, I thought Ivy was very cold."
"Yeah yeah."
Thinking of the background of the expansion pack, the player was very moved: "Everyone is back."
"After so many years apart, we're finally reunited!"
"Everyone is fine, that's great."
Old players who have been in contact with NPCs for a longer time and almost treat them as real people feel this particularly deeply.
Those years of separation are just a background for the players, but a real journey away from home for the NPCs.
"We are back too!" After half a month of playing the game, many new players have developed an affection for the game and have a stronger sense of identity with their identities as returning travelers.
This is one of the secrets to a game's long-lasting popularity, and "Magic Continent" has delivered a satisfactory answer.
The half-month-long event officially came to an end.
When I woke up the next morning, the game returned to normal.
She was used to the hustle and bustle every day, so Tang Li felt a little uncomfortable when it suddenly became quiet.
Fortunately, the joy and anticipation of redeeming the prize pool soon diluted her reluctance.
There will be a redemption period of about 10 days after the event ends. During this period, players can redeem rewards with the glimmering dragon scales and star glimmers they obtained in the event. After the redemption period, the store will be closed and the remaining dragon scales and stars will be automatically recycled.
Although the game gave such a long redemption period, Tang Li couldn't wait any longer.
There were many players who were as impatient as she was. Early in the morning, Ivy's redemption mall was crowded with players who came to redeem their rewards.
Walking into the exchange shop, the voices of players' discussions came from all directions.
"The Starry Sky suit is so good! From the data, I see that its attributes are even better than the dungeon suits of the same level. I'm planning to change to this one."
"I'm planning to trade in a Star Pegasus. This game's map is so huge, and trading in a transportation tool will save me a lot of time traversing the map. The Star Pegasus has excellent stats and should last me a long time. It's a good deal in the long run."
"I want a Pegasus too, but unfortunately I don't have enough money. It's too hard for a newbie to kill monsters, and I haven't met any reliable teammates. Sigh!"
"I still want a dragon!"
"I want a fairy pet. Damn, there are so many good things, but I don't have enough money."
"Yeah, I really envy the veteran players. They must have made a lot of money this time. Maybe they can even empty the prize pool."
"It's a pity that I entered the game too late."
"Wrong one hundred million."
"You new guys should be content. We had nothing back then and had to figure everything out on our own. Unlike you, you can even change your uniforms directly now. I don't know how much effort you saved."
"Yeah, equipment, skill books, Pegasus, fairies, and even dragons. You can see these things as soon as you enter the game, and you can even exchange them. We've been in the game for a long time, but we're only just now getting a glimpse of them. We've never even heard of them before. Don't be so ungrateful."
"Who's taking advantage of you and still acting like a good kid? Entering the game early already has advantages. Ask yourself, do you want to enter the game earlier or later?"
Tang Li listened to the ear dispute and saw that both sides were about to argue endlessly, so she quickly took a few steps forward and put these voices behind her.
Before coming, she had already thought about what she wanted to exchange. First of all, it was a set. It was a consensus that the level 20 activity set was better than the dungeon set, so many people would exchange for one.
Compared to the Dragon Scale Set that focuses on physical professions, the Star Set will undoubtedly be more suitable for her.
There was also a book called [Falling Stars] in the store that looked good for group attack skills, so she bought it.
Tang Li didn't participate in many activities. Apart from some starlight that she collected at the beginning, the rest were basically obtained through server-wide achievements. After exchanging these two items, she used the remaining starlight to exchange for some seeds and herbs, and used it up completely.
Next up is the Dragon Scale Shop.
Forget about the pet dragon, it's too expensive and she already has Xirang, the clingy little guy.
In addition, the Dragon Scale Shop has many skill books that Tang Li likes, not to mention the powerful attack skills suitable for magic systems such as [Dragon Roar] and [Dragon Flame], and some auxiliary skills such as [Dragon Armor] and [Shock] are also very good.
All in one pocket.
There are also some accessories that add attributes without taking up equipment slots. They are all rare genuine items. Tang Li only regrets that she does not have enough dragon scales.
What excited her most was a fruit called Dragon Scale Fruit, which could add random attributes when eaten.
Take it, take it, you must take it.
Finally, there are still some plants that she is interested in, such as ambergris, star dragon frost, dragon scale tree, etc.
It is worth mentioning that the dragon scale fruit that can add attributes is the fruit of the dragon scale tree. However, this kind of fruit is difficult to grow and takes a long time to mature. It is not so easy to grow it. She had dropped one in a dungeon before, and this time she planned to exchange for more to see if she could get something.
A lot of things were exchanged in total. Among the confused group of people, Tang Li came and left quickly, and soon returned to the gang for a meeting with a lot of bags.
When she arrived, the others just came back.
After the meeting started, everyone first celebrated the good operation of the camp and rewarded the management and helpers for their hard work.
After everyone got excited about the bonus, they turned to discussing breakthroughs.
"After the event, the players have made significant progress, especially those who were originally at level 15 or 16. Many of them have now reached the maximum level. We must find a way to break through to level 20 as soon as possible. If we continue like this, our advantage will soon disappear." His tone was serious and unclear.
Just now everything was going well, and the gang and camp were about to become bigger and stronger, but in the blink of an eye, they were facing a future where their quality was gone and they were overtaken by others. In an instant, the lively atmosphere at the scene dissipated, and everyone present was speechless.
Breakthrough, who doesn't want a breakthrough? But so many max-level players in the server have been working hard for so long, and so far no one has a clue. Who knows where the damn breakthrough method is hidden?
Seeing that there was no breakthrough and the official refused to reveal any spoilers, everyone felt the urge to sit in silence at the official gate.
"Well... I seem to have known a way to break through." Seeing the atmosphere becoming depressing, Tang Li raised her hand weakly.
