Wang Ming returned to Tianxing City and immediately went to the East Gate, where there were already quite a few players.
Wang Ming roughly counted that there were more than 70 people here, most of whom were from the major guilds, and there were also a few solo players.
Wang Ming recognized one of them, "That's the Gale Warrior."
The Gale is a Heavenly Feather Archer, and someone who invited Wang Ming to team up when Wang Ming first entered the game.
Gale is ranked 7th on the level leaderboard, surpassing the guild leaders of several major guilds such as Gathering Righteousness and Undying War Soul, unlike other solo players who are ranked around 100th on the leaderboard.
Seemingly sensing Wang Ming's gaze, Gale turned to look at Wang Ming, smiled, and nodded slightly.
"Brother, you've arrived." Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms period greeted Wang Ming as soon as he saw him.
"Boss Cao." All seven members of Cao Cao's team from the Three Kingdoms period were present, but only four of them had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Brother, you know the situation now. What do you think we should do?"
"Boss Cao, you're asking me about this situation? You don't think I have any good solutions, do you?"
"Haha, brother, don't be modest. You alone are worth an entire guild, we all agree on that. With you here, we can definitely defend Tianxing City."
"Boss Cao, you think too highly of me. Tianxing City has four gates: east, west, south, and north. If the monsters attack from the east gate, I'm somewhat confident."
“But if the monster attacks from all four gates at the same time, from the east to the west, from the south to the north, humph, Mr. Cao, no matter how powerful I am, do you think I can defend all four gates at the same time?” Wang Ming rolled his eyes and said irritably.
"This..." Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms was somewhat embarrassed. He knew Wang Ming was capable, but what Wang Ming said was also true.
Although the East Gate is the main gate of Tianxing City, no one can guarantee that the monsters will only attack this one gate.
If the monsters really do attack all four gates at the same time, as Wang Ming said, even if Wang Ming can defend one gate by himself, there are still three left.
Even if the people here can defend one more city gate, there are still two gates remaining.
"Boss Cao, you don't need to worry too much. It's just a game. At worst, you'll fail to defend the city and lose levels, realms, and attributes."
“But brother,” Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms whispered in Wang Ming’s ear, “Losing realm and attributes in the game will also have an impact in real life.”
"Huh? Mr. Cao, you... you've come to terms with reality?"
"Yes, it's not just me. Everyone here at the Nascent Soul stage knows this, but I've always known it, while they only just found out."
"You've always known, what does that mean?"
"Hehe, now is not the time to talk about this, brother. Do you still think it doesn't matter if we fail to defend the city?"
Wang Ming was a bit annoyed. Although the punishment for defending the city was severe, it was actually not a big deal for him. His level dropped, which was exactly what he wanted. As for his attributes, Wang Ming had the Soul Devourer, so he could just keep stealing.
But now that Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms said it would affect reality, Wang Ming could no longer take a casual attitude.
"Boss Cao, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. At least I won't stop killing monsters until I'm killed by them."
"Yes, my brother is right."
"Wang Ming." Just as Wang Ming was exchanging words with Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Qingcheng and Zhao Feiyan arrived here with the people from Xiyudu Fanhua.
"Qingcheng, you've arrived."
"Um."
"Hey, there are other people here, don't treat us like background characters." Zhao Feiyan pouted as she watched Yan Qingcheng run up to Wang Ming.
This made Yan Qingcheng blush deeply.
"Qingcheng, I have something good for you." Wang Ming, shameless as ever, pretended not to hear Zhao Feiyan's words and sent a trade request to Yan Qingcheng.
"What is that?"
"You'll see when you see it." Wang Ming selected the Chaos Origin Staff, the Soul Awakening Stone, and the Crimson Cloud Stone, and placed them in the trade window.
"This is an Origin Treasure, a weapon that can be upgraded. Its attributes are much higher than those of weapons of the same level. Soul Awakening Stones and Crimson Sky Stones can improve its level and grade."
"And most importantly, this weapon is indestructible. As long as you have enhancement stones, you can keep enhancing it until you enhance it to +20."
"Ah, this weapon is too, too powerful, I can't have it."
"Qingcheng, take it. I don't need this weapon. You're a sorcerer, so this is perfect for you. Besides, there will be monsters attacking the city soon, so it's always good to have more strength."
"Alright then, thank you, Wang Ming." Yan Qingcheng stopped refusing and put away the Chaos Origin Staff.
"Sister Qingcheng, what wonderful gift did your brother-in-law give you? Let us see!"
“That’s right, good things should be shared. We don’t need your brother-in-law’s gift, but we should at least see it.”
"You, all of you, I'll show you."
Yan Qingcheng posted the attributes of the Chaos Origin Staff to the team.
"Wow, this weapon is way too overpowered."
"Yes, this is the first time I've ever heard of this type of weapon. Brother-in-law, I want one too, I want one too!" A group of girls looked at the attributes of the Chaos Origin Staff with starry eyes and started to whine and cling to Wang Ming's arm.
This scene was the envy of other players, who wished they were the ones surrounded by everyone.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Can't you see Qingcheng is jealous?"
"Hehe." Hearing Zhao Feiyan's words, everyone finally let Wang Ming go.
"System notification: The monster siege will begin in 5 minutes. Players in Tianxing City, please prepare."
"System notification: The monster siege will begin in 5 minutes. Players in Tianxing City, please prepare."
......
"The monsters are about to attack the city! Everyone, hurry up to the city walls!"
Everyone ran to the city wall and looked out of the city. They saw a dark mass outside the city, all of them monsters. And it wasn't just the east gate; there were monsters at the south and north gates as well. Without a doubt, the west gate, which was opposite the east gate, must also be under attack by monsters.
"Damn it, this time the monster siege is happening at all four gates at the same time, this is bad."
“We only have about 100 people here, and it’s already difficult to guard one gate, let alone four. I think we should just give up.”
"What nonsense are you spouting? Surrendering before the enemy even attacks? Are you even Chinese?" Xiahou Dun of the Three Kingdoms glared at the speaker upon hearing this.
"Then, what do you suggest we do?" Upon hearing this, everyone was at a loss for what to do.
"I'll take care of the East Gate; you all go and guard the other gates," Wang Ming sighed and spoke first.
"Are you kidding me? You think you can guard Dongdaemun all by yourself?"
"Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying."
"Good, Brother Shengji has guts. Since that's the case, I won't hold back anymore. I can guard the South Gate by myself." A loud shout rang out.
Everyone was genuinely surprised. They hadn't expected that anyone other than Wang Ming would dare to say such a thing. Everyone turned to look at the speaker, including Wang Ming.
"It is him, the Gale."
The Windwalker wore a faint smile, seemingly quite confident.
"Haha, good. That's how a real man should act. Since you two each have your own sect, then I, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, am willing to lead the guild to guard the West Gate."
"Hmph, who says only men can guard the city gate? I, Xiyudu Fanhua, will guard the North Gate."
"Good, that's great! I, Aoshi Qunxiong, am willing to guard the West Gate alongside Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms."
"I, Long Xiao..."
Inspired by this, everyone spoke up and found the portal they needed to go to.
"Gentlemen, why don't we have a contest to see who can last the longest?"
"Alright, everyone, I'll take my leave first."
"Wang Ming, be careful," Yan Qingcheng said softly, then left the east gate as well.
“Yeah, you too.” Wang Ming summoned Cerberus, then looked towards the city gate. “Hehe, let me go crazy just this once.”
