Chapter 415 The Road to Becoming Stronger
Players have a variety of opinions about the upcoming new map.
I spent too much time on the "Golden Cave" map, even longer than the time I accumulated on other maps.
The players waited with a mixture of tension and trepidation, and the closer it got to 10 o'clock, the fewer messages there were in the group chat.
At 10:00 AM sharp, all players received a new notification.
Welcome to the new map, "Path of the Strong." On this map, players will face many opportunities to become stronger; seize them and you'll grow powerful!
[Note 1: Due to the early arrival of this map, the Tower of Babel from the previous map still exists. Players can enter without forming a team, and a Tower of Babel entrance ticket is no longer required. Rewards have been slightly reduced; players can decide whether to enter based on their actual situation.]
[Note 2: The Gold Coin Ranking will continue to be used, but will not generate additional rewards. A New Battle Power Ranking has been added; players can view the Battle Power Ranking on the main interface.]
So, begin your journey to becoming stronger.
After the announcement ended, all players' character panels changed.
The path to becoming stronger?
This map...
She didn't seem to have seen it before when playing the jigsaw puzzle, but there are so many puzzle pieces, like the "Debauchery" from the previous map, which she had never seen before.
It's perfectly normal to have a map you've never seen before.
What bothers her is that this map offers many opportunities to become stronger.
What does the so-called "opportunity to become stronger" refer to?
Meng Qingyin couldn't help but think of the [Internal Strength Manual], an item with side effects but that could make people stronger.
Could there be many similar items on this map?
Furthermore, a new combat power ranking has been added. So, how is combat power calculated?
While I was pondering this, the group chat suddenly became lively.
Now almost no players are talking in the chat area; the atmosphere there is like a ghost town.
Meng Qingyin clicked into the group chat.
Butterflies danced: "The name of this map is so unfamiliar. I've never heard of it in jigsaw puzzle games before. Has anyone seen it before? What does it look like?"
Little Karami: "I've never seen it either. It's like the money pit in the previous map. At least I got a puzzle piece there."
Lonely Square 3: "What a coincidence, this is the first time I've heard of this map either. But isn't this map a boon for us players? I want to get stronger!"
Many players said it was the first time they had ever heard of this map, which made Meng Qingyin feel a little strange.
It would be understandable if only a few people hadn't seen this map before, but now that many players in the group say they haven't seen it before, that's a bit unreasonable.
From a probabilistic point of view, the possibility is too small.
Could it be...
This map didn't appear in that jigsaw puzzle game?
Is it a newly appeared map?
Meng Qingyin found it hard not to suspect that this new map was created by those gods again.
What is their purpose?
Make players stronger?
Why are you trying to make players stronger now when you almost gave up on them during the Cliff Break event?
Meng Qingyin had a gut feeling that this map was not simple either, and might even hide dangers.
She opened the main interface to view the combat power rankings.
[Power Ranking: This ranking is based on a combination of factors, including players' personal strength, pet strength, vehicles, weapons, equipment, and gold coins. It is updated in real time and settled weekly.]
Note: There are 50,019 players in this area. The bottom 500 players will be eliminated in seven days (elimination rate: 1%). Please strive to improve your strength!
[First Place: Mengmeng (Combat Power: 10283)]
Second place: Chen Leying (Combat power: 8023)
Third place: Drowning sorrows in strong liquor (Combat power: 7011)
Fourth place: I am the lucky one (poor version) (Battle power: 6892)
Fifth place: Mask (Combat power: 6639)
Sixth place: I am an unlucky person (Battle power: 6380)
7th Place: The Spirited Old Man (Combat Power: 6182)
8th place: Zhao Lan (Combat power: 5216)
Ninth place: Hanmei (Combat power: 4027)
10th Place: Strawberry Tea (Combat Power: 2000)
……
[Note: The higher your combat power, the more opportunities you have to improve your strength.]
Every player can find their name and ranking on the power ranking, even the player who is last in the ranking.
But only a handful of people were truly in the spotlight, and even only Meng Qingyin, who ranked first, was truly the center of attention.
DaLa Dafa: "The top ten on the combat power ranking are still the same familiar big shots."
SeinLR Lin: "Who is Strawberry Tea? I've never heard of this nickname before. She's a dark horse that suddenly appeared this time."
Yang Shiren Guimu: "Wait, what's with this elimination rate? In seven days, the bottom 500 players will be eliminated???"
Garbage game: "I'm one of the bottom 500 players. Didn't they say I could get stronger? How do I get stronger?"
Kiwi Boy: "Players with higher combat power have more opportunities to become stronger, but they are already very strong. They should give us these opportunities to become stronger! Otherwise, wouldn't it lead to the strong getting stronger and us weak ones being eliminated?"
toybear: "You upstairs, you think you're right just because you're weak? Why should someone give you the chance to become stronger? Just because you're arrogant?"
Brother Wen from St. Michael Mount Island: "My combat power is only one-tenth of the top player's... Is it really impossible to spend money in this game?"
Under the long shade tree: "One-tenth is already very good. My combat strength is not even a thousand. I'm so upset."
"..."
After reading the introduction to the combat power rankings, Meng Qingyin's strange feeling became even more pronounced.
The purpose of this elimination mechanism is to force players to work hard to improve their skills.
However, improving one's strength depends on a variety of factors, and even if a player subjectively wants to improve their strength, it is not so easy to achieve.
However, it's not to say that you can't improve through hard work at all—players can train to master a particular weapon and improve their combat skills. This can all be achieved through accumulated training, but it takes a long time and yields minimal results.
However, the elimination mechanism leaves players with very little time, eliminating a batch of players every week, making it impossible for players to improve their skills quickly in such a short period of time.
Therefore, if you want to improve your skills quickly, you have to find another shortcut.
As for what the shortcut is, Meng Qingyin thought she would find out soon.
After all, she is very strong in combat, and theoretically, her chances of becoming stronger are higher than those of ordinary people.
As for the matter of clearing the Magic Tower, we'll have to put it on hold for now.
