◎Ruined City of Ite Ice Land◎
The Ruined City event opened at 12 noon sharp. The scorching sun formed a sharp contrast with the falling snow on the map.
As soon as the map was opened, a large number of players who had already formed teams rushed into the aperture.
Unlike dungeon exploration, the Ruins City activity is more difficult, takes longer, and requires a higher level of overall team collaboration.
Even if all the members were experts, Xia Li could not guarantee 100% that the team would succeed, not to mention that the strength of the team members was uneven.
Thief Poxiao looked around and asked Xia Li, "There are only five of us now. How are we going to get in?"
There are five people. Excluding her, the remaining four are Dawn, Sagittarius Moonlight, Sagittarius Zero and Priest Ice Cream. This is the most kills she can get in Fengyun Tianxia.
The other members were either clearing dungeons or doing quests, and could not get back to participate in the event before 12 o'clock.
Xia Li glanced at Poxiao and the worried expressions of the others, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, saying, "Let's team up with others."
"Ah? Then...how do we divide the team rewards?" Ice Cream frowned.
She didn't want Fengyun Tianxia to share the spoils with other teams.
"The Ruined City isn't a dungeon, so there won't be any first kills or loot distribution. After the event, points will be awarded based on team ranking. Points can be redeemed at the redemption center and accumulated over three months. After three months, the accumulation will be reset and the calculation will start all over again," Xia Li explained. "Of course, the official website will also release a personal points ranking list at the end of the three-month period. These points are not affected by redemptions, so the points earned will remain the same as they were before. Quarterly rewards will then be distributed based on your ranking."
Therefore, who you team up with will not affect the distribution of prizes, it will only affect the points.
"I see," Poxiao, Bingchuan, and the others suddenly understood, their faces suddenly bright with excitement. "Who should we team up with?"
Although this is only the first game and it is not a big deal to lag behind in the ranking, who doesn’t want to get a good ranking by tying up with the strong?
Xia Li pointed to a team not far away: "Them."
Dawn and Ice Cream looked in the direction of her finger, and the excitement on their faces was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, the kind that was so cold that it was bone-chilling.
"Sister Lihua, are you...are you sure?" Ice Cream asked her cautiously.
"Well, only by cooperating with them can we have the greatest chance of success," Xia Li nodded.
Dark Storm, ranked second only to the first-placed Fiery Fury, is no worse than the people of Fiery Fury in terms of personal strength, and she will not cooperate with Fiery Fury, so the only one left is Dark Storm.
Xia Li said as she walked up to President Bao Feng, raised her chin slightly, and her expression was as calm as water in the sunshine: "Hello, President Bao Feng, I am Xia Lihua from Fengyun Tianxia."
"What are you doing here!" Before Bao Feng could speak, Leng Bingshuang, who was beside him, rushed forward first, raised his staff and pointed it directly at her eyebrows, with a strong hostility.
"You're also short of people, aren't you?" Xia Li wasn't worried about Leng Bingshuang taking action. Instead, she smiled faintly, raised a finger, and gently pushed aside the staff. "We have five people now, and we can join you."
"It's false mercy when the cat cries out for the mouse," Leng Bingshuang snorted coldly, the coldness in her eyes not diminishing at all.
"Bingshuang," President Baofeng's personality was much more introverted than Leng Bingshuang. After hearing Xia Li's proposal, he did not object at the first time, and of course he did not agree at the first time. He just reminded Leng Bingshuang in a calm voice, asking her to control her words.
Leng Bingshuang's throat choked for a moment, feeling unhappy, but she still took a step back: "Baofeng, I will go to the guild to recruit more people."
She couldn't believe that such a large guild couldn't even gather 20 people. If she told anyone, it would be too embarrassing for the Second Guild.
Baofeng did not refute Leng Bingshuang, and seemed to be waiting for a result.
Xia Li naturally saw his attitude. Although she didn't say anything, it didn't prevent the people present from understanding his position.
"Since President Baofeng is unwilling to cooperate, we won't rush to cause trouble. Goodbye."
She gave a look to Dawn and the others, and everyone immediately understood what she meant. They all turned and walked away, ready to look for the next team that was short of people.
"Wait." Baofeng suddenly called her.
Xia Li turned around.
"You and this priest can stay." Storm said, looking at her and Ice Cream meaningfully.
Xia Li immediately realized that Dark Storm was short of priests, and a faint smile appeared on her face without concealing it: "Sorry, I said our team has 5 people."
"Xia Lihua, don't be so shameless," Leng Bingshuang saw her reject her guild leader without a second thought. His temper flared up, and he pointed at her and yelled at her. "You didn't even want to sell us the clearance tips for the last joint dungeon, so why should we accept you? Is it because you're so shameless?"
It turned out to be because of the linkage copy.
Xia Li's chuckle faded into a cold expression, her voice dropping several notches. "First, regarding the matter of selling skills, we have the initiative. I can sell to whomever I want, and no one else has the right to interfere. Secondly, I simply noticed you were short of people, so I came to ask if there's a chance we could work together. I'm not forcing you to accept the five of us. Finally, we're just too arrogant. If you have the guts, come and rip us off."
"You...!" Leng Bingshuang had never seen such a shameless person. She was so angry that she wanted to attack, but soon, several people from their guild responded and said that they could reach the event entrance within 1 minute, so she suppressed her anger.
"Frost, let's go," Baofeng also saw the message in the guild. He turned off the channel, without even looking at Xia Li and the others, turned around and prepared to lead the team into the entrance.
Behind her, Poxiao felt that what she had just said was particularly satisfying, but then she thought of the pitiful five people in their team who still had nowhere to go, and suddenly she felt sad: "Pear God, where should we go?"
Xia Li sighed lightly. She had thought that Leng Bingshuang was an ignorant person, but she didn't expect that President Baofeng was also a person with such a petty mind that not even a needle could be inserted into him.
It's hard to say whether we can finally get first place in the map by cooperating with such a person.
Thinking about it this way, Xia Li felt that it was not a big loss, so she turned her attention to other teams.
"Hello, Natsuhi Rika."
Suddenly a voice came from behind.
Xia Li turned around and grinned after seeing the other party's ID: "Hello, President Mu Yang."
The tenth-ranked president of the Mumu Xiangyang Guild - Muyang.
"I see you are looking for a team, right?" Mu Yang asked her with a smile.
Xia Li nodded.
"It just so happens that we don't have enough people either. We're still short of eight more. How about you join us?"
"Okay," Xia Li said as she joined the other team and gave him the captaincy command.
"Thank you. Please wait a moment. We still need 3 more." Mu Yang spoke politely. Even though Po Xiao was a little anxious, he calmed down after hearing what he said.
A few minutes later, Mu Yang pulled in three more people.
After the twenty people counted their equipment, they all stepped onto the map.
The flow of time in the ruined city is three times that of the Shia continent, which means that 8 hours on the map corresponds exactly to 24 hours on the Shia continent.
There are also day and night in the map. Since this is the first time the event is launched, the official did not deliberately increase the difficulty, and it will be daytime when all teams enter.
Xia Li's team arrived nearly twenty minutes later than the other teams, and the people from the Muyang Guild seemed a little anxious.
"Brother Yang, let's move faster, otherwise the flag will be snatched away." The teammates suggested.
In the Ruined City mode, three flags are placed at the end of the map. The three teams that reach the end first and capture the flags will be ranked first. The remaining teams will be ranked based on their progress in the map and the value of the supplies they have obtained. Finally, the ranking will be calculated and points will be awarded in order.
Xia Li didn't expect to take first place in this game. After all, this was a team put together by a patchwork of people. They didn't know each other and had never worked together in other tasks. Even if she had the will, she didn't have the strength.
But there is still hope of getting second or third.
suddenly.
"Go! If we have to win, we have to win first place!"
"A hard-working person will never come second!"
The three individual team members suddenly started to rush into the ice as if they were injected with chicken blood. Seeing this, Mumu Xiangyang's men also followed suit and plunged into the crowd. For a moment, the momentum was surging and the demeanor was majestic!
"Wait..." Xia Li hadn't finished her words yet.
Several heads in front suddenly stopped sprinting and stood still, as if they had been hit by acupuncture, motionless.
"What's going on?! I can't move!"
"Me too, I'm still losing blood!"
"Quick, drink the red medicine!"
"No, the medicine bar is locked!"
There were constant panicked shouts coming from the front, and Xia Li hurriedly took Bingchuan and another pastor to go around to avoid stepping into the large and small pits under their feet.
"You've been hit by the frozen debuff," Xia Li reminded Mu Yang softly through the voice.
"Priest, hurry up and dispel the spell," Mu Yang reacted quickly. After hearing her words, he quickly ordered Bingbing and the other three priests to use their skills.
The four players who were hit by the debuff were immediately rescued from losing health, and the team finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They almost lost 4 outputs.
"Oh my god, this debuff is too powerful!" The male mage named Fengjian broke out in a cold sweat.
"Kazemi, you idiot! Why don't you drink your medicine? Are you just waiting for me to heal you?" Priest Gagnan cursed angrily, rolling his eyes at him. "The freezing time of the dispel skill is 2 minutes, and all four of you used it up this time."
God knows if I will encounter debuff again within 2 minutes.
The other pastors all looked unhappy.
"Gaga, do you believe that I will hurt you? It's not that I didn't drink the medicine on purpose. The medicine column is locked and I can't take it out at all." Feng Jian was also in a good mood. He almost lost his life just now. Now that he had just recovered, he was forced by his teammates.
"Bullshit lock, can't the potion be used?" Gagnan cursed back, then opened his medicine panel.
Then, he was stunned.
"See, I told you it was locked up, but you didn't believe it!" Feng Jian saw Gagana's surprised expression and felt that he had finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The others were a little skeptical when they heard this, so they clicked on the interface and tried to take out the potion.
However, the system prompted that the medicine column was locked. Not only the medicine column, but also the prop column was locked.
"Oh my god! How can I live without being able to use items?"
I can still drink medicine when playing dungeons, so why are all the ruins in the city locked?
Everyone wailed.
Xia Li's face remained calm. This was the unspoken rule of the Ruined City. Officials hadn't advertised any restrictions on potions, items, or props. Players had to find and pick up everything on their own from the moment they entered the map.
At first, many players thought there was a bug in the system and called to complain, but the customer service always said, "There is no bug."
Those who reacted quickly immediately understood how to play the Ruined City, so they put away the panel and stopped worrying about potions and props; those who reacted slowly or were even extremely dissatisfied with this setting could only wait to die in the map and be forced to exit the map.
Xia Li explained this rule to everyone in the form of her personal guess, and mentioned in passing that they should not step into the pit again because there is a freezing debuff in the pit. Dawn and Ice Cream knew her personality better, and they quickly adjusted themselves after listening to her.
But the three independent players who joined in were somewhat dissatisfied.
"If you knew, why didn't you tell us earlier? Are you waiting for us to use up all our mana and health and die?" Pastor Murphy glared at her angrily.
"That's right, do you have any team spirit? Don't you know that death will be punished by the system?" The male shooter Yamato Mitsuyo also didn't give her a good look. He almost died just now. If he had known that there was a trap in the pit and that he couldn't recover his blood by drinking medicine, how could he dare to rush forward?
The male mage Che An didn't say anything, but he was standing next to Murphy and Yamato Mitsuyo, and it was obvious that they were in the same camp.
"What do you guys mean? Our sister Lihua wanted to kindly remind you not to run around from the beginning, but who didn't listen and rushed forward like a lunatic? It would have been fine if you just rushed forward, but you were blind and didn't see the debuff in the pit, and now you turn around and blame sister Lihua for not telling you earlier? It seems like you are the only one who has a mouth and can talk nonsense, right?" Ice Cream stood up angrily and cursed at the three people!
"That's right. Just because you are blind, you think everyone in the world is blind too. Can't you check whether the panel is usable or not before entering the map?" Yue Se snorted coldly.
The two of them sang in unison, making Murphy's face turn green.
Seeing this, Yamato Mitsuyo wanted to say a few more words, but Che An pulled his clothes and told him to stop talking, so he suppressed his anger and said nothing.
"You three," Captain Mu Yang came over after hearing the quarrel and said to Murphy, "We're here to capture the flag and win a place, not to quarrel among ourselves. If you hear anything detrimental to the team again, I won't arrange for the priest to rescue you."
