Chapter 15 New Players
"This world has been deeply corrupted by the Abyss, causing severe distortion and mutation of ti, space, and environnt, making it difficult for us to determine our current ti and location. For the stable and safe developnt of the territory, we must investigate the surrounding environnt thoroughly and eliminate all potential threats as much as possible!"
Hang Yu continued, "I observed that about six miles to the southeast, there seems to be a village or town. From there, we might find local natives or other clues that could be useful to us."
"Besides, there are not only Snake-Tailed Fla Chickens near the territory, but also a large number of other abyssal creatures and monsters. Their presence could cause trouble for the territory’s developnt at any ti. Only by killing their leaders can we stop the threat from spreading."
While he was speaking.
Xiao Ba had finished editing the relevant mission details.
Two brand-new missions appeared before every player.
————
【Mission Na: Investigate the Ruins.】
【Mission Ti Limit: 47 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.】
【Mission Objective: Successfully reach the Naless Village.】
【Mission Reward: 300 Abyssal Essence Points, 300 Contribution Points (can be shared among the team).】
————
【Mission Na: First Kill Bounty.】
【Mission Ti Limit: Permanent.】
【Mission Objective: First kill of a BOSS monster.】
【Mission Reward: The first killer of each BOSS will receive abundant abyssal essence energy and contribution points as rewards. There is a certain chance to obtain equipnt or special items. The value of the rewards is directly related to the level and strength of the monster killed.】
The appearance of the new missions.
Greatly excited the players.
"Hahaha, I had long wanted to look further into a field. These two missions ca at just the right ti," Ye Li ng laughed loudly.
Black-Eyed Rui Ge also said, "From now on, first killing a BOSS gives extra generous rewards. This is clearly encouraging us to seek and challenge more BOSSes and to be brave enough to be the first to try. After all, only the first kill gets extra rewards."
Lone Boat said, "A challenge? I love it!"
The players were itching to try.
The first mission had a ti limit. If the countdown ended without anyone completing it, the mission might directly fail. No one knew what would happen if it failed; maybe it would lower the Lord’s favorability towards this group of players?
As for the second mission, although there was no ti limit, only the first kill of a BOSS would grant extra rewards. This would likewise stimulate the players to fiercely compete to find wild BOSSes and achieve the first kill.
Although the players were eager to take on the new missions, due to prolonged combat, their stamina was already running low.
Several players chose to rest first, eating so food and then returning to the barracks to log off, allowing their bodies to sleep and recover.
Since the barracks had a recovery-boosting effect, they would return to full condition in just three or four hours.
Of course.
There were also a few players.
They felt that even though they had little stamina left.
Walking six miles on foot to complete the investigation mission might still be possible. Since it was first co, first served, they naturally wanted to act before others, and so, without hesitation, they set off imdiately.
The result was:
【Player "Ye Li ng" has died, Abyssal Essence Points 400……】
【Player "A Sword Cos from the West" has died, Abyssal Essence Points 250……】
【Player "Pure Love Wargod" has died, Abyssal Essence Points 250……】
【Player "Zha Jiang Mian" has died, Abyssal Essence Points 250……】
【Player "Lone Boat" has died, Abyssal Essence Points 400……】
Facts proved.
Six miles was not too far.
But the road was not easy to walk.
Especially under poor conditions and severe fatigue.
The result of Ye Li ng and the others recklessly rushing forward was nothing more than delivering another wave of experience, causing Hang Yu’s abyssal essence reserves to rise from 600 to 1900.
【Abyssal Essence Reserve -1200!】
【Ding, you have leveled up to Level 6, HP 50, Strength 5, Agility 5, Spirit 5, Will 5!】
Hang Yu decisively leveled himself up again.
From the start of the ga until now, it had been less than twenty-four hours.
He had already risen from the initial Level 3 to Level 6!
Such a speed was absurdly fast.
It could only be said that the players were indeed quite reliable; their efficiency in getting themselves killed was very satisfactory... However, with the rise in level, it would beco increasingly difficult to level up from here on.
At the current stage, Hang Yu’s level and attributes were already strong enough.
He now planned to invest his reserve of abyssal essence into skill training, because upgrading skill levels could effectively enhance the skill effects, thereby boosting his overall combat strength.
At this mont, Xiao Ba reminded him, "Master, please take a look. The new batch of closed beta players has been finalized."
Around eight o'clock that evening.
Hang Yu activated the Player Summon and officially recruited ten new players.
Compared to the first recruitnt, the difference this ti was that no one was absent or late. All ten players logged into the ga at the first opportunity.
A few minutes later.
One new player after another appeared in the barracks.
Just like when Ye Li ng, Black-Eyed Rui Ge, and the others first arrived in the ga.
These players were also imdiately stunned by the ultra-high realism after entering the ga.
"Aweso!"
"So spicy cool!"
"Is this really a ga?"
"Quick, look at my tongue, bleh bleh bleh!"
"And look at my big Cartoon eyes, blink blink!"
"I didn’t expect the rumors on the forum to actually be true!"
"……"
Hang Yu noticed that the ten players appeared in the barracks almost at the sa ti.
This ti, the players had been carefully selected by Xiao Ba from among twenty to thirty thousand pre-registrants, so the overall quality was very high.
Of course.
Skill in fighting was not the only asure of quality.
Among them, not everyone was a hardcore gar or a battle expert.
For instance, there was a female player with the ID "Chenxi" (Morning Dawn).
In real life, she had been a renowned prodigy since childhood, entering Yanjing University through the college entrance exam at the age of thirteen and earning her PhD by seventeen.
Even at such a world-class institution, she was an awe-inspiring academic legend admired by thousands.
Another example was a player with the ID "Little Bell" (Xiao Lingdang).
In real life, she was a fifteen-year-old junior high student.
Although she did not have particularly outstanding abilities herself, her father was among the top ranks of the billionaire list, with a family net worth in the hundreds of billions — a genuine second-generation tycoon heiress.
Then there was a player with the ID "Mad Blade Old Wang" (Kuangdao Lao Wang).
In reality, he was an experienced soldier who had repeatedly won first place in army competitions.
After retiring, he had spent several years as a rcenary overseas, a true battle-hardened veteran who had survived countless deadly engagents.
It was not difficult to see.
Hang Yu’s player selection in the early stage.
Had not been limited purely to the gaming circle.
Regardless of personal ability, intelligence, profession, or family background, as long as soone had outstanding qualities, they had a chance to join the closed beta and beco one of the earliest players of Twisted Three Kingdoms.
After rounds of exclamations and amazent.
The new players quickly followed the ga’s guidance to the main hall.
After Hang Yu recited the lines from the script by rote, the new batch of players officially began their ga journey.
At this ti, Black-Eyed Rui Ge and the others happened to log back in. When they saw so many new faces in the village, they were also very surprised and quickly learned that these were the newly selected closed beta players.
"Are you Rui Ge? I’m your fan!"
Little Bell ran up to Black-Eyed Rui Ge and said, "By the way, why did you make your character look so sleazy?"
Black-Eyed Rui Ge looked a bit embarrassed.
Since he was a video blogger and often needed to livestream, to enhance the show’s entertainnt and interact with the chat barrage, he had gotten into the habit of making his character’s appearance deliberately bizarre during face creation.
As a result, his in-ga image was a sleazy guy less than 1.6 ters tall, with a wretched look, green hair, skin-and-bones thinness, and a face like a shoehorn with prominent, wind-catching ears.
"Uh, I play as a Ranger. Being smaller can highlight the profession’s advantages."
Mainly, it was too late to regret it now!
He did not want to delete his account and start over either.
Little Bell asked, "Are you guys heading out to do a mission? Could you take and Sister Chenxi along?"
