Chapter 377: Chapter 360: We Respect the Dead and Do Not Wear Their Armor
The unexpected death didn’t make Dongdong angry.
She just felt a bit regretful that she hadn’t managed to knock off the second rib of the undead in the last mont…
Moreover, getting herself killed was one of her goals after all!
*Even though she planned to play well, considering her current strength, she was, at most, cannon fodder. Practicing combat was enough, but the ultimate goal was to take advantage of her low level and abundant revival tokens to gather equipnt by dying.*
*And the mage is too safe in the back row—she didn’t want to commit suicide, so, of course, she had to move forward to get killed…*
This was the 11th ti Dongdong had been resurrected, and she had managed to snag ten sets of equipnt through deaths.
*And all these ten sets of equipnt were deposited into the communal Space Ring of the Nature’s Heart Guild. It was specially exchanged collectively by Li Mu for servicing guild mbers, and almost every larger guild had a similar communal ring.*
*In fact, after this mission was released, there were many players with the sa mindset as her.*
*Even max-level 40 players could arbitrage and gather 4000 contribution points by exploiting death for equipnt.*
*Just that most players had limited revival tokens and couldn’t afford to die that many tis.*
Aside from those fortunate like Dongdong, most of those with many revival tokens were wealthy players from the lottery pool. They weren’t short on money, nor did they care about those contribution points; they just wanted to enjoy themselves on the battlefield…
After Dongdong disguised herself, changed her hairstyle, and muddied her face to ensure the dark dwarves couldn’t recognize her, she again used the long-distance Teleportation Array to arrive at Blade City…
At that mont, the Teleportation Array at Blade City was still crowded with players.
So were coming back after being resurrected, while others had gotten the ssage and were rushing over after taking up the task.
They were clamoring, waiting to receive equipnt, and then heading to the walls for battle.
Just when it was nearly Dongdong’s turn, a disturbance suddenly broke out in the crowd ahead:
“What? No equipnt left? It’s all distributed?”
No equipnt left?
Hearing this news, Dongdong was slightly taken aback.
*Wait… Can equipnt actually run out?*
*Isn’t this a ga?*
*Ga rewards like this shouldn’t be limited, right?*
*Could it be… that the bug was reported, and the ga company found out soone was exploiting this loophole for equipnt?*
Dongdong furrowed her brow.
At this mont, the dark dwarf responsible for distributing equipnt wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a wry smile,
“Well, I’m terribly sorry; we didn’t expect everyone to be so eager. We clearly prepared eight thousand sets of equipnt, but it all got distributed so quickly…”
Upon hearing the dwarf’s response, the players exploded in an instant:
“Eight thousand sets? That’s way too little!”
“Is it not intentional from the official side? I know soone must be exploiting this for equipnt, but we are new here!”
“Yeah! What do we do without equipnt? We can’t be expected to fight the undead barehanded, can we?”
“Right! Right! We are newcors!”
Dongdong also shouted among them.
Looking at the sowhat angry elves before him, the responsible dark dwarf was also feeling exasperated.
But… they really hadn’t anticipated so many elves coming!
Eight thousand sets! Distributed so quickly; didn’t that an over ten thousand elf reinforcents ca?
This fact was quite exciting, but… it was genuinely a bit awkward with the shortage of equipnt.
And just when the elves were full of indignation, Chief Brin, having received the news, finally arrived.
Seeing the growing number of elves, he also felt his scalp tingle…
*So many elves ca?!*
“True God above! While on the wall, he couldn’t oversee the entire situation, and with the elves’ high casualty rate, he really hadn’t realized so many elves were already participating…*
Even though Brin hoped for many elves, their overwhelming numbers stirred new questions in his mind:
*When did elves beco so ubiquitous?*
*Where did these guys pop up from?*
*Or perhaps… was the ssage about elves being scarce just false, like the myth that elves love peace?*
*Were those just scams by human rchants selling elf slaves at high prices?*
*Yes… after seeing the elves’ frenzy, as a believer of the Death God, Brin’s first suspicion wasn’t the identity of these elves, but rather if the lore about elves they knew before was misleading.*
*After all… residents of the Underworld almost never ventured above ground, and most of their news ca from human gyp rchants.*
*Nonetheless, with the True God’s oracle, these elves were definitely the most solid reinforcents for their side.*
*And since the oracle promised equipnt, Brin couldn’t afford to break his word.*
He pondered for a mont and said,
“Equipnt… will definitely be provided to everyone. I’ve arranged for people to gather it from the walls.”
Saying this, he sighed,
“Your companions… are indeed very brave warriors!”
So players gradually caught on after hearing Brin’s words:
“Wait… does this an we’re supposed to use the equip… ahem… the equipnt left by the fallen elves?!”
Brin did not deny it,
“The situation is urgent, so we have no choice.”
However, upon hearing this, the elves exploded again:
“No! That’s not acceptable! Those fallen comrades are true heroes! The equipnt they earned belongs to them! We can’t use it!”
“Their personal belongings are sacred and inviolable! That is their property, and it cannot be used to pay our rewards!”
“Exactly! This is a matter of principle!”
Seeing the decisively stubborn elves one after another, Brin was quite speechless…
*These guys, why are they so stubborn!*
*Should he admire them for respecting their deceased comrades, or criticize them for being so single-minded?*
*The people are dead; what use is there for the equipnt?*
Of course, at that mont, he didn’t know that if he really sent people to the wall to find equipnt, they probably wouldn’t find many sets back…
Brin thought for a mont and said,
“How about this, everyone first changes into the equipnt of the fallen, while we keep a record here. After the war ends, everyone can co here and exchange for their own equipnt using the record, and as for the deceased’s… their relatives can pick it up.”
He was determined to quickly contact other city-states and rush the production of equipnt!
*Even if it pained Blade City to take out so much equipnt all at once, winning the war was much more important.*
Of course, he had another alternative plan:
“Additionally… I see so friends ca equipped on their own. We can also pay in gold pound equivalents instead of equipnt as rewards if you agree, how about it?”
Listening to Brin’s words, the elves agreed this ti:
“That’s a good solution!”
“No need for equipnt; gold pound equivalents work too! Magic Stones also work! I even welco magic materials!”
“Haha! too, too!”
Seeing the elves suddenly change their tune after receiving a promise, Brin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
*Even though they couldn’t co up with equipnt imdiately, Blade City was quite wealthy after all!*
