Chapter 195
"Brother Ye, why are you only now logging on? It's been half an hour since the celebration started." As soon as Qiao Jiao saw Yuan Ye log on, he immediately sent him a voice message.
"Just got home." Yuan Ye's voice sounded tired.
Qiao Jiao glanced at the time and saw it was already 7:30. He guessed that Yuan Ye was busy at the store until this hour. Seeing that he hadn't entered team mode yet, Qiao Jiao reminded him:
"Bro, hurry up and form a team."
"The dungeon will be starting soon."
Although the game mode of "Spirit Festival" is based on a five-player team, if the number of players does not reach five when starting the dungeon, the system will randomly match players.
Usually, players form teams in advance.
After all, nobody wants to team up with players whose skill level is still unclear in the celebration instance.
As agreed, Yuanye sent team invitations to the remaining four people. Within minutes, three people had joined the team, but one person remained unaccepting.
The other party is clearly online.
Ten minutes before the celebration was to begin, Yuanye sent a message to the last person:
"?"
Then, the player immediately displayed the team icon before replying to the message:
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry."
"I can't team up with you this year. I suddenly got an invitation from another team today."
The celebration was about to begin, and knowing that his sudden cancellation was somewhat unfair, he immediately sent another message to Yuanye:
"Brother, I'm so sorry."
"I'll send you some materials as compensation after the celebration ends."
"No need." Yuan Ye closed the chat window and immediately looked through his friend list.
Five minutes before the celebration, most players had already formed teams, but Yuanye went through all his online friends and couldn't find a single suitable person.
Meanwhile, the team's three teammates also noticed that something was wrong.
"Why haven't we formed a team yet?"
"Hey bro, wanna invite a friend?"
"How come Ah Q, whom we made plans with before, has already formed a team?"
At this moment, there is only one minute left until the "Demon Spirit Festival".
Several lines of large, bold characters had already appeared in mid-air in the Fairnd world:
"Players, are you ready to enter the forbidden lands of hell?!"
"Are you ready to fight against endless evil spirits?!"
Have you already
"The world of hell is about to descend!"
"Countdown: 55 seconds."
...
"41 seconds."
......
"35 seconds."
........
The three teammates besides Yuanye were inevitably getting anxious at this point, and some were even starting to consider randomly pulling in any player who was already somewhat skilled.
As if possessed, Yuanye opened the chat with a player he had recently communicated with, and one player's ID stood out prominently before his eyes:
"Leisurely stroll".
The ID indicates that the player is not in a team.
Yuan Ye quickly used his right hand to click the "Invite this player" button.
"Countdown: 0 seconds."
Then, a line of bloody text appeared before each player's eyes:
"Dear fairnd player, would you like to enter the 'Spirit Festival' dungeon?"
"whether."
Players who were ready to participate in the dungeon clicked the "Enter Dungeon" button.
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the fair world.
The continent beneath the player's feet began to shake and crack, followed by a rumbling sound of shattering, and the player could feel their character suddenly losing weight.
The aura of hell emanates from underground.
The jubilant sounds of evil spirits...
A faint smell of blood...
The immense wealth was accompanied by the devil's murderous intent, and the Demon Spirit Festival silently confirmed the rules of the Fairnd world.
*
After ten seconds of weightlessness, a faint, eerie aura of death wafted to the player's nose.
Fairnd's dominance in the gaming industry is due to the significant research investment the company has made in enhancing player experience and creating a realistic gaming world.
As soon as he steadied himself on the plains, he heard a clear, youthful voice: "The Demon Spirit Festival?"
"Watch out for your left front."
Yuanye swung his weapon and swiftly stabbed the evil spirit that lunged at him from the left front. Then he aimed at another target: "Don't mind suddenly pulling you into the dungeon?"
"It's alright, I was just thinking of playing the Demon Festival anyway." The boy's voice and the swordsman's burly figure still created an eerie contrast.
The remaining three members of the team had the same reaction as Qiao Jiao, also feeling that Ying Ning's voice was a bit effeminate.
After all, recently, deep, masculine voices and bubbly voices have become popular online, and similar voice changers are also popular in the market.
Upon first hearing the swordsman's voice, the remaining three were taken aback for a second.
However, the members of the Wilderness team are all veteran Fairnd players. As long as their skill level is high, they wouldn't mind even if a real person were to come along.
The "Demon Spirit Festival" is divided into three stages.
Phase 1: Slay 999 evil spirits and use their death energy to open the forbidden area.
Phase Two: Forbidden Labyrinth.
Phase Three: Slay the Evil Spirit King and successfully escape the forbidden area.
In previous years, the "Evil Spirits Festival" event was limited to 15 days.
This year, the time limit for this instance has been adjusted to 30 days. Players can still save their progress after completing each stage of the instance so they can enter the game again next time.
The player rankings for "Demon Festival" are determined by the time it takes for a player's team to complete the event.
Teams with the same completion time will be ranked based on the total number of resurrections for all 5 members of the team.
The first level isn't particularly difficult, but it's very mentally taxing, requiring you to kill 999 evil spirits in the shortest amount of time.
Moreover, judging from the dungeon's duration, this year's Evil Spirit Festival has become significantly more difficult.
The company has significantly increased its promotional efforts for this event, making it easy to speculate on the possibility of the first Fairnd competitive tournament, as rumored online.
*
The swordsman's weapon flashes were almost nonstop, and the rest of the team didn't encounter any difficult situations. Throughout the phase, each person was hunting alone.
By the time the message "Congratulations to the team for killing 999 evil spirits and completing the first phase of the dungeon" appeared, 5 hours had already passed.
It was already 2 a.m.
The other three members of the group yawned and sent farewell messages.
Yuanye was also about to log off when he saw that the ID's avatar in the team chat, which had just finished displaying the last "Goodbye" message, was still lit up. He immediately clicked on the avatar:
"Yuyu, what's your phone number?"
"Please add my contact information."
