Chapter 57: Tomorrow City Destroyed
"It's my turn to take the field," Wen Yu said, then hurriedly ran down.
Just as he reached his side's camp, Wen Yu was surprised to find a multitude of buffs suddenly appearing over his head.
[War Zeal]: All attributes increased by 10% for 10 minutes!
[Focused Vision]: Physical damage increased by 5% for 3 minutes!
[Mana Surge]: Mana recovery speed +100% for 5 minutes!
[Blessed Holy Light]: Recovers 800 HP per second for 2 minutes!
...
All sorts of buffs appeared above Wen Yu's head!
"After the Second Class Transfer, there are even AoE group buffs?"
Checking his magic attack power, he saw that after various amplifications, it had reached a terrifying 109,720 points!
He nodded in satisfaction and charged in!
Even if the opponents had buffs, they shouldn't be able to withstand my 100,000 magic damage and 75% critical rate!
He reached the battlefield! He started with Ice Shard!
An icy aura spread across the battlefield in an instant!
Enveloping several demons who didn't have time to react.
-18,900
-3,420
-1,880
Damage numbers popped up; everywhere he went was an instant kill.
No experience, no gold coins.
The corpses didn't disappear either. It was as if he had actually killed people.
In the few minutes from the start of the great war until Wen Yu entered the battlefield, countless corpses already lay on the ground. There were demons, and there were Moonlight City warriors.
Seeing Wen Yu's shocking damage, the rest of the demons immediately abandoned their opponents and focused their firepower on Wen Yu!
-8,200 (Critical)
-20
-930
-580
-2,160 (Critical)
A string of damage numbers popped up. In just one second, Wen Yu's Magic Shield dropped by over 38,000! At the same time, he found himself in the middle of a sea of fire.
The 2,000 points of continuous damage per second made Wen Yu cry out that he was about to be roasted!
The sea of fire vanished, but before he could react, Wen Yu found he couldn't move. Looking down, a mass of ice had frozen his feet to the ground.
"Damn! A double heaven of ice and fire! How am I supposed to play this?"
Fortunately, the Moonlight City soldiers arrived immediately to hold back the opponents, preventing Wen Yu from taking a third wave of damage!
"Fighting like this is too slow!" Wen Yu saw the exchange between the Moonlight City soldiers and the demons; both sides were trading blows, and the priests on both sides were constantly refreshing buffs.
"This isn't a test of the front line's skill anymore; it's a test of who has more healing!"
Wen Yu felt he had to do something, and the best way right now was to dive the backline!
"As long as the enemy priests are wiped out, the outcome of this war will have a clear direction!"
How to get to the backline, however, became the problem.
"Damn it, if I'd known, I would have set the [enforcer mask] to a demon's face." But thinking about it, that was impossible.
Enforcing human laws with a demon's face? Using a sword from the previous dynasty to slay an official of the current one?
Wen Yu shook his head. "I'll just have to go around. I'll find a chance to circle through the monster zone."
For the next two hours, Wen Yu continued to roam the battlefield, looking for opportunities to kill enemies while trying to get closer to the edge of the battlefield.
And there were plenty of heart-pounding moments!
There was a Demon Ice Mage who, using some unknown skill, dealt 74,000 damage to Wen Yu with a single critical hit!
Startled, Wen Yu quickly refreshed his shield and turned to look at the demon who had attacked him.
Seeing that Wen Yu wasn't dead, the demon also seemed stunned, muttering something unintelligible.
What followed was Wen Yu chasing and him fleeing.
After much effort, he finally managed to kill that damned ice mage.
Wen Yu even went closer to strip off his equipment and take a look.
It was a bunch of garbled code; he couldn't see the details at all! Putting a ring on his finger didn't provide any bonuses either.
"Demon equipment... I can't wear it! What a waste."
The most dangerous moment was against a Demon Shield Warrior. Wen Yu's Magic Missile only dealt 32,000 damage to him, about 2/3 of his total HP, but Wen Yu saw 96,000 damage pop up over his own head. At that time, Wen Yu's total shield was only 94,500. Not only was the shield completely destroyed, but he also lost 1,500 HP. Fortunately, the Shield Warrior's own damage was extremely low. As soon as Wen Yu's shield was back, he immediately took him out.
"That was the closest I've come to death. Did he just reflect 300% of the damage back at me?"
...
-12,840
With a Magic Missile, he blasted a careless Berserker to death, and Wen Yu realized he had reached the edge of the battlefield.
The forest dozens of meters away seemed like a world apart; outside was the sound of slaughter, while inside was quiet and serene.
"Good opportunity!" Wen Yu made up his mind and used a teleport to reach the edge of the forest.
Without looking back, he walked straight in.
And the forest! That was Wen Yu's home turf!
The [Friend of the Forest] hidden buff took effect; monsters in the forest would not actively attack Wen Yu.
At this time, Wen Yu naturally didn't have the leisure to disturb their lives.
He hurried toward the approximate location of the enemy's backline.
He had only been running for a couple of minutes.
"Ding!~"
"Regional Announcement: The Tier 3 Main City, Tomorrow City, has been captured by the demon army. The entire city has been annihilated! The system has activated forced protection! Players affiliated with Tomorrow City will be forcibly logged out in 10 seconds! They will be randomly teleported to other main cities in 24 hours! Players, please be prepared!"
The sudden system notification interrupted Wen Yu's rapid pace.
"Tomorrow City is just... gone?" Wen Yu's pupils dilated in shock.
"The two great guilds, God of War and Fengyun, actually failed to stop the demon offensive?"
But now was clearly not the time for such thoughts; he had to ensure Moonlight City didn't fall. He couldn't let a Second-Tier Main City be lost before the players even reached it.
While running, Wen Yu also sent a message to Li Jue to ask about the situation in Glory City.
Within two minutes, Li Jue's reply came back.
"Don't worry, Boss, we can hold Glory City! The National Team has secretly trained quite a few experts. Although their individual output can't compare to yours, Boss, they're all quite terrifying." Li Jue continued,
"And for now, except for a few second-class professions whose info we can't see, the rest aren't generally that strong! With the Glory City Legion's cooperation, we'll be fine."
Wen Yu nodded. The stronger first-class players had all come to the Second-Tier Main City. He guessed Lin Sirong and the others should be able to handle it.
It was just that the fall of Tomorrow City had momentarily shaken Wen Yu.
"Kill more demons and, as much as you're able, try to save as many NPCs as possible," Wen Yu instructed Li Jue.
If "After Tomorrow" really was a second world, then were these NPCs the original inhabitants of that second world?
Wen Yu didn't know, and he was afraid.
Afraid that these were all real people.
He continued rushing toward the rear of the demon army, but halfway there, he heard the sounds of slashing and stabbing from up ahead.
Wen Yu carefully hid behind a tree and peeked out.
"At this time? In this place? There are actually people here?"
...
---x---
Chapter 58: Moonlight City Suicide Squad
With a cast of Insight Technique, the IDs appearing before Wen Yu were quite peculiar.
[Xie Luo]
Level:???
Intro: Captain of the Moonlight City Scouting Brigade. Doesn't eat cilantro, loves stinky tofu.
[Li Yujie]
Level:???
Intro: Captain of Squad 2, Moonlight City Demon Resistance Brigade. He always feels his subordinate Luo Yunxi wants to steal his position.
[Cao Xing]
Level:???
Intro: Captain of Squad 3, Moonlight City Demon Resistance Brigade. Hopes to get promoted as soon as possible.
[Huang Zhilan]
Level:???
Intro: Personal Guard of the Moonlight City Demon Resistance Brigade General Captain. Hopes to survive today.
...
The names of about twenty people were all exposed before Wen Yu, and they were currently contending with numerous wild monsters in the forest.
Damage numbers rose one after another; although they were all Second Class Transfers, their damage wasn't particularly high.
Since they weren't of the Demon Race, Wen Yu naturally had to help. With a direct Teleport followed by Ice Shard, he cleared the area.
"Who are you?" Xie Luo, the Captain of the Scouting Brigade, asked Wen Yu.
"I am an Enforcer from the Tier 3 Main City, Glory City. I came with the City Lord to support Moonlight City," Wen Yu said.
"What are you doing here?" Wen Yu felt he might have run into deserters.
"Don't misunderstand, we aren't deserters. We're planning to circle around through the forest and give the Demon Race Priest Group a heavy blow!" Xie Luo seemed to see through Wen Yu's thoughts.
"..."
He had actually run into like-minded comrades; Wen Yu found it a bit miraculous. However, looking at their damage output against the monsters, they didn't seem like they could accomplish anything major.
"I have the same intention. Let's go together!" Wen Yu said.
Seeing Wen Yu's damage output, the Moonlight City soldiers naturally had no objections.
One skill could instantly kill so many surrounding monsters; could he wipe out the Cleric Regiment with a single skill?
Thus, for the rest of the journey, Wen Yu had companions.
————————
"We've arrived!" an Assassin from Squad 3 of the Demon Resistance Brigade said after returning from scouting.
Wen Yu also looked out of the forest, and sure enough, they had reached the rear of the Demon Race army.
He immediately cast Insight Technique.
Everything in sight was garbled code and question marks.
"There are actually Priests!" Wen Yu was surprised to find that within the Demon Race Priest Group, two IDs were listed as [Demon Race Priest].
"I thought there was only one third class transfer leading the group, but it seems there are quite a few hidden third class transfer professionals!"
He looked back at the Moonlight City soldiers who had come with him.
"Are any of you third class transfers?" Wen Yu asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"True, if someone were a third class transfer, they wouldn't have been blocked by wild monsters," Wen Yu sighed.
"This is going to be difficult!"
Difficult! But it has to be done regardless!
The Assassins in the squad had entered Invisibility again; implicitly, Wen Yu, as the Enforcer, had become the team's decision-maker.
"Let's go, brothers! Now that we're here, there's no turning back. Everyone, do your best! Kill as many of the Demon Race as possible, and I hope everyone survives." But Wen Yu knew that this volunteer squad likely wouldn't survive.
He also believed that they had already prepared themselves when they chose to come.
"For Moonlight City!" Xie Luo whispered. Without any hesitation or regret, he immediately entered Stealth.
Several Assassins approached the Cleric Regiment first. Once the Clerics were in chaos, it would be time for Wen Yu and the others to begin the slaughter!
However, an accident occurred.
When the Assassin group was only 20 meters away from the Clerics, the two Demon Race Priests looked back simultaneously, and then incomprehensible words came from their mouths.
"Not good! They've been discovered!" Wen Yu decided immediately that they couldn't delay any longer.
"Charge! We'll have to face them head-on!"
Before his voice had even faded, he was already standing next to the nearest Demon Race Cleric!
"It seems choosing to upgrade [Teleport] has indeed worked wonders!"
A single Magic Missile took out one Cleric, followed by a decisive cast of Chain Lightning!
Wild Thunder aimed at one of the two Priests!
-334,469 (Critical)! It instantly blasted away nearly half of the Priest's health!
Then, frantic electrical currents began to circulate through the Cleric Regiment!
Eight bounces later, eight Clerics were instantly on the ground!
The only pity Wen Yu felt was that even though his equipment set had a healing reduction effect, there were simply too many people in the Cleric Regiment. Before Wen Yu could cast a second skill, the Priest had already been healed to full!
By this time, the squad of over twenty from Moonlight City had also reached the battlefield. Various skills flew everywhere, and Clerics fell from time to time!
The Demon Race Priest Group finally met Wen Yu's initial expectations; the whole group was in chaos. Some tried to fight Wen Yu head-on with First Class Transfer skills, while most chose to flee in all directions!
Wen Yu didn't care about any of that. While the front lines wouldn't receive word for a while, he had to kill quickly!
With another Teleport into the crowd of Clerics, he released Ice Shard.
A cold aura once again enveloped the battlefield! This time, the chaotic Cleric Regiment clearly didn't have many people who could react in time.
Only a few escaped with their lives using Teleport. Most of the Demon Race were taken out by Ice Shard instantly.
"As expected, Clerics! Heh! Not even a dog would play that class!~" They could be insta-killed in one hit, giving them no chance to heal.
However, this was clearly because Wen Yu's damage was too exceptional. Under normal circumstances, a Cleric with a shield and three healing skills would be very difficult to kill in a duel.
Meanwhile, the Priest who had been struck by Wen Yu's lightning earlier now stood before him.
Raising his staff, a holy light appeared above Wen Yu's head.
"Holy crap, I've seen this skill before! Was it called Holy Light Judgment or something?" Wen Yu recognized it at a glance as a Priest's attack skill. He had experienced it before from the Human Priest Cai Yu at the Demon Race Altar!
Wen Yu didn't dare to be careless and decisively activated Elfs Blessing.
After the 16% damage reduction, it still took away 30,000 of Wen Yu's shield value.
"A third class transfer Priest is still very powerful; the damage is quite significant!" But Wen Yu wasn't worried. His current shield value was as high as 180% of his magic damage—a full 160,000! A mere 30,000 damage wasn't a big problem for him.
The biggest problem was that he couldn't kill the Priest. A simultaneous critical hit from Magic Missile and Chain Lightning was enough to cripple the Priest, dealing considerable damage, but he would be healed to full immediately.
"I can't keep contending with him. My goal isn't to kill him, but to clear out as many Clerics as possible! Once the Clerics are dead, a single Priest won't be able to change the tide of battle much."
Wen Yu looked back and saw that three members of the Moonlight City Suicide Squad had already died at the hands of the Cleric Regiment. Although Clerics only had damage at the First Class Transfer level and it was generally low, they simply had numbers on their side.
Wen Yu also saw Huang Zhilan. As the Personal Guard of the Demon Resistance Brigade General Captain, he was arguably the strongest among them. He was currently facing another Priest alone, struggling to hold on.
"Goodbye! I'm done playing with you!" With that, Wen Yu vanished.
For the next while, Wen Yu was just repeating his actions, using whichever skill was off cooldown. Every skill cast yielded good results. He stopped bothering the Priests and instead focused on hunting down the other members of the Cleric Regiment.
The lightning-struck Priest roared in frustration behind him but could do nothing about Wen Yu.
Not long after, another Holy Light Judgment rose above Wen Yu's head.
-72,600 (Critical)!
Wen Yu looked back, only to see that Huang Zhilan had also fallen into a pool of blood...
---x---
Chapter 59: Good Night
The members of the suicide squad had fallen one after another in pools of blood, and Wen Yu still wasn't clear on the situation at the front lines.
Now, two priests were constantly chasing Wen Yu alone, which greatly reduced his efficiency in killing the Demon Clan.
He continuously wove through the battlefield, taking the lives of the priests.
This suddenly felt amusing to Wen Yu; it was a bit like he was working hard to kill their children while the parents chased him relentlessly from behind.
Another ten minutes passed, and the news that their base had been raided finally reached the front lines.
A Demon assassin wielding a dagger appeared before Wen Yu. Seeing this, the two priests stood at a distance, no longer pursuing him.
...
Is the DPS daddy you were waiting for here?
Wen Yu cast an Insight Technique; the ID was Demon Night General, and besides that, it was just a bunch of question marks.
"Night General? I wonder which assassin's third-tier class that is."
The result was obvious; with three Third-Tier Demon Clan Members surrounding him, Wen Yu naturally didn't have the slightest chance of survival.
Fortunately, Wen Yu managed to successfully kill a Demon priest by luck just before he died.
The one that achieved this miraculous feat was the [fault tolerance badge] that Wen Yu had always looked down upon!
It wasn't that Wen Yu was wrong to look down on it; almost every monster he encountered was killed in an instant, and the current proc rate of the fault tolerance badge was far too low.
But this time, the [fault tolerance badge] had performed brilliantly!
Now that Wen Yu's fault tolerance badge had reached the Bronze grade, its proc rate was still only 15%.
Yet, right after Wen Yu smashed a Thunderbolt onto a priest's head, a second Thunderbolt followed immediately. With two critical hits landing, one of the priests was killed instantly!
The explosive damage numbers flared up, stunning the assassin and the other priest for a moment.
——————
Resurrecting from the Glory City teleportation array, Wen Yu hurriedly checked for any equipment drops.
The [phoenix breath bracelet (left)] he was wearing had dropped, and from his inventory, his remaining 4 skill upgrade cards were gone.
"It's fine. My earrings didn't drop. Other things don't matter much."
It could be said that this operation was a failure; he completely didn't expect the enemy to have two priests. Without being able to kill them, the suicide squad really only had the'suicide' part left.
In total, they had probably killed less than a tenth of the Demon priests.
After resurrecting at the Glory City teleportation array, Wen Yu quickly ran to the city gate to take a look. The war was still ongoing, but the humans clearly had the advantage, having pushed the front lines back a significant distance.
Wen Yu felt relieved and continued rushing toward Moonlight City.
"Ding!~"
"Regional Announcement: The Second-Tier Main City, Heavenly King City, has been captured by the Demon army; the entire city has been annihilated!"
The system message was only a few words long, but hearing it made Wen Yu's heart tighten.
"Even a Second-Tier Main City was destroyed! Didn't a City Lord go to support them?!" Could even a City Lord not stop the Demon invasion!
Wen Yu didn't stop, walking even faster toward the teleportation array!
Moonlight City! Hold on!
...
When Wen Yu stepped onto the city gates of Moonlight City again and looked down.
Perhaps it was thanks to the efforts of his suicide squad and the others, but the battle lines were beginning to show a trend of pushing outward.
Wen Yu took a deep breath. "Moonlight City should be safe now!"
Although he didn't know the situation at the other three gates, Wen Yu still hadn't seen Chen Ping's figure.
He was probably supporting the other three gates.
Upon re-entering the battlefield, Wen Yu did not continue to approach the backline; you don't raid a base twice.
And after this experience, the enemy would likely send people to protect it.
Relying on himself alone wasn't enough to survive so many Demons.
Wen Yu killed while picking up Demon Mage equipment that looked decent on the battlefield. He collected a full set and put it in his backpack.
This included a 5-piece armor set and a 5-piece jewelry set. Although they offered no boost to Wen Yu's attributes, perhaps because he was a bug, he could wear them without any restrictions.
"What if I need to pose as a Demon or something in the future? It's never wrong to keep a set as a backup!"
He kept killing and killing, and after an unknown amount of time, Wen Yu was covered in crimson blood.
He didn't know if it was from the Demons or the soldiers of Moonlight City.
The rancid smell repeatedly pushed Wen Yu to the brink of vomiting.
"Ding!~"
"Regional Announcement: The Tier 3 Main City, City in the Forest, has been captured by the Demon army; the entire city has been annihilated! The system has activated mandatory protection! Players belonging to the City in the Forest will be forced to log out in 10 seconds! They will be randomly teleported to other main cities in 24 hours! Please be prepared!"
...
Hearing the news that the City in the Forest had been destroyed, Wen Yu fell silent.
Because of its name, no guilds had been determined to settle in the City in the Forest, and one couldn't even find slightly powerful players on the forums.
It was mockingly nicknamed "End-of-life City" by everyone.
Wen Yu suddenly felt his nose sting.
Perhaps he was disgusted by the rancid smell on his body, or perhaps he was frightened by the severed limbs flying across the entire battlefield.
Looking up at the sky, Wen Yu said nothing and continued his great task of killing Demons.
This war was fought from dawn until dusk, and human reinforcements finally arrived just before the sky turned completely dark.
Squads of troops poured out from the city gates, clashing with the Demons in an instant. After checking their information, Wen Yu finally knew that these were troops that had rushed over from the First-Tier Main City, Sun City.
Before night arrived, they successfully sealed the Demon Race Altar.
And they wiped out all the Demons that had descended this time.
Moonlight City was held... yet three main cities were still destroyed...
Wen Yu was truly tired after killing Demons for an entire day.
He didn't know what time it was, but as soon as his nerves relaxed, he felt famished.
Wen Yu didn't plan to participate in the remaining matters; he tore a Town Portal Scroll, returned to the Glory City teleportation array, and chose to log off immediately.
...
Taking off his helmet, Wen Yu took a deep breath.
He checked the time: 9:40 PM.
He had played for 13 hours straight without logging off... Wen Yu quite admired himself; he wondered if Lin Sirong and the others had taken turns logging off to eat.
Wen Yu smiled and went to the kitchen, where he saw the meal Aunt Huang had prepared for him, though it had all gone cold.
While heating it in the microwave, Wen Yu also looked through the forums.
The warriors from Sun City had only just arrived in each city, so the war wouldn't end that quickly.
The hottest topics were still the destruction of the City in the Forest and Tomorrow City.
He first went to watch the video of Tomorrow City.
Wen Yu found that even at a time like this, the two guilds were still scheming against each other both openly and in the shadows.
And because they had been fighting for a long time, the players in the entire city couldn't produce even a single relatively decent piece of equipment.
The leader of the War God Guild only had a 3-piece Gold set, which was already the best equipment in the entire city.
Turning to the City in the Forest, although there weren't many players, they were united.
Their equipment was also significantly better than that of Tomorrow City; they truly lost because of a lack of raw strength. This was beyond reproach.
Furthermore, the players of the City in the Forest had held out long enough, falling just before the dawn.
After eating, Wen Yu sat on the rooftop terrace for half an hour, feeling that the time should be about right.
Only then did he put on his helmet and log back in.
...
Descending into Glory City again, the city was already filled with many players and NPCs.
Everyone's face was beaming with joy.
Seeing that the [Defend Moonlight City] task in his quest log had changed to (Completed), Wen Yu walked toward the City Lord's Mansion; it was time to find Chen Ping for his reward.
"Halt! Who goes there! The City Lord's Mansion is a restricted area; no trespassing!"
Just as he reached the entrance, Wen Yu was stopped by a guard.
"???" Looking up, Wen Yu found that it was a city guard he had never seen before who had blocked his path. Where was Ruan Yuming?...
Guessing a certain possibility, Wen Yu's mood turned even worse.
"I am an Enforcer. I've come to see the City Lord. Go and report."
When he saw Chen Ping, Chen Ping was sitting alone in his seat, sighing.
"City Lord."
"You've come, Enforcer. Take a seat!" After inviting Wen Yu to sit, Chen Ping continued.
"Enforcer, don't blame me for my poor mood. You may not know, but a total of three main cities were destroyed in this Demon invasion, including the Second-Tier Main City, Heavenly King City. The City Lords of Extreme Ice City and Binhai City failed in their defense of Heavenly King City and have all perished."
Wen Yu was truly shocked; Heavenly King City was actually garrisoned by two City Lords together, yet they still couldn't hold it.
"Huang Bing is still just a young girl, yet she died in Heavenly King City like that."
"My condolences, City Lord!" Wen Yu comforted him.
"Sigh, it's fine. They're Demons; who knows, I might die one day too. They just went ahead of us."
"May I ask, City Lord, what will happen to Extreme Ice City and Binhai City now?" Wen Yu continued to ask.
"Starting tomorrow, the City Lord of the City in the Forest, Wang Zecheng, will take office in Binhai City, while Extreme Ice City will be taken over by the former City Lord of Tomorrow City."
Hearing Chen Ping's explanation, Wen Yu nodded.
Some cities were destroyed, but their City Lords escaped disaster because they were out on business.
While some cities were held, but their City Lords died because they were out on business.
"Then may I ask about your previous guard, Ruan Yuming? He...?" Wen Yu continued to ask, his heart in his throat.
And Chen Ping indeed didn't make Wen Yu wait too long for the answer.
"He's dead. He died in this Demon invasion." Chen Ping sighed and continued.
"He was my brother-in-law. To be honest, I was selfish; I had clearly settled him properly, but hearing of the Demon invasion, he still threw himself into the battlefield without hesitation."
"He was a hero," Chen Ping said firmly.
Wen Yu nodded silently.
Yes, who would dare say that Ruan Yuming wasn't a hero.
It seemed that Ruan Yuming also had his dreams; perhaps protecting Glory City was his dream...
Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Wen Yu looked up at the sky again. The night in Glory City was extremely beautiful, with what seemed like countless stars twinkling in the sky.
"Huang Zhilan, Xie Luo, Li Yujie, Cao Xing, Huang Zhenghong, Huang Zhengdong, Qin Jing, Zhang Yixin, Qin Xiu, Wang Ke, Cai Qili, Zou Jun, Zhou Qiang, Wan Feihong, Wang Shaojie, Deng Tong, Xi Yin, Deng Quan, Zhang Miao, Yu Qianjie, Li Zhixin, Li Zhiyan."
"Moonlight City was held."
"Although three main cities have fallen, I believe tomorrow will definitely be better. Right?"
"Good night, Ruan Yuming."
"Good night, Luo Yun."
"Good night, everyone."
---x---
Chapter 60: The Third System Upgrade
Adjusting his mindset, Wen Yu looked at the unique rewards that belonged to him this Time.
[hidden class change scroll] (Sealed) *1
[attribute materialization card] (Sealed) *4
[skill materialization card] (Sealed) *1
One Hidden Class scroll plus two materialization cards. He wondered how these rewards compared to those of other players.
In addition, Wen Yu also received a full 5,000 Reputation points!
This directly upgraded Wen Yu's fault tolerance badge to Silver quality!
"The skill trigger probability is now 20%, which is a decent gain."
He sent a message to Li Jue, who replied almost instantly.
"Boss, are you back in Glory City?"
"I just got back and collected my rewards. What about you guys? The Demon Invasion event should be over, right? Did you get any rewards?" Wen Yu asked.
"No direct rewards, Boss. It's all points. We have to exchange them with the [Integral Exchange Officer]. I'm standing here right now, thinking about what to get." Li Jue continued, "Boss, you're well-traveled and knowledgeable, help me take a look."
After saying that, Li Jue sent a list of everything available for exchange to Wen Yu.
10 Points: [Level 30 Class-Specific Black Iron Equipment Selection Chest]
50 Points: [Level 30 Class-Specific Bronze Equipment Selection Chest]
200 Points: [Level 30 Class-Specific Silver Equipment Selection Chest]
...
5,000 Points: [Level 30 Class-Specific Epic Equipment Selection Chest]
Following those were exchanges for special equipment and medicines, with prices that were shockingly high!
Wen Yu even found the [fault tolerance badge] among them, costing 10,000 points!
[attribute materialization card] (Sealed) - 2,000 Points
[hidden class change scroll] (Sealed) - 20,000 Points
[skill materialization card] (Sealed) - 50,000 Points
[equipment materialization card] (Sealed) - 100,000 Points
Further down, there were even Divine Artifacts, costing millions of points.
After seeing the exchange options, Wen Yu was also surprised and took out his skill materialization card to look at it again.
"The exchange points for this thing are so much higher than the Hidden Class scroll?" Wen Yu didn't understand.
He asked Li Jue, who had only earned over 6,000 points in this war.
"Then what's there to think about? You don't need equipment, so just save them. If there's another Demon Invasion event in the future, you can exchange them for something better once you've saved up more!"
Li Jue also brought Wen Yu new news: the video of [Minotaur Castle] had been listed for a long Time, and a total of 1.26 million people had chosen to watch it.
The number of viewers had indeed decreased significantly, but Wen Yu could barely accept it.
According to their previous agreement, Wen Yu and Li Jue each received over 3 million. It was quite a significant income!
Feeling that the Time was about right, he went home and dumped all the miscellaneous items into his storage. Wen Yu then turned around and entered the [Graveyard of the Dead] dungeon.
Just as he finished clearing the Graveyard of the Dead and the White Wolf Kings Lair, it passed midnight, and all the dungeons reset.
"Wasted a run of the Minotaur today."
He glanced at his experience: Level 29 (774,193/2,412,000).
"I can use the level up card in a bit!" Wen Yu had originally thought about carrying the level up card with him to use as soon as he reached level 29. However, he had a premonition that there would definitely be an update at level 30, so he decided to wait until after finishing the dungeons!
He contacted Lin Sirong and traded over all the equipment from his storage and person that he couldn't use.
Now, Wen Yu's backpack was much more organized:
One [wooden sword], one [novice cloth armor], one [enforcer mask], 1 [level up card], 72 [skill upgrade card], 16 [attribute materialization card], 1 [skill materialization card], 1 [hidden class change scroll], 74 [glory city return scroll], 999 [tomorrow city return scroll], 999 [Novice Village Return Scroll], 9 pieces of Diamond equipment, and two Platinum accessories kept for Li Jue.
Wen Yu was a nostalgic person. Tomorrow City was gone, but he kept the tomorrow city return scrolls. He planned to just leave them in his storage to collect dust.
"These are out of print now~ I'll just treat it like stamp collecting!"
Among the seven pieces of Level 30 Diamond equipment, two were Priest equipment and one was Fire Mage equipment. Wen Yu didn't know what kind of equipment he could wear after changing his class to Space Mage, so he kept all of them for now.
He called Li Jue over and traded the hidden class change scroll and the two Platinum accessories to him.
This gave Li Jue a real shock! He said that people were currently offering tens of millions for clues related to hidden classes. Just a clue alone could sell for ten million!
Yet Wen Yu had given the scroll directly to him.
"You better perform well! Don't let this hidden class change scroll go to waste!" After dismissing Li Jue, who looked like he was about to cry, Wen Yu returned "home," took out the level up card, and chose to use it!
With a flash of light, Wen Yu reached Level 30 (0/2,512,000)!
Just as Wen Yu expected, the system notification sounded immediately!
"Ding!~"
"Regional Announcement: Congratulations to player [Time] for successfully reaching Level 30! Achievement [Leveling Pioneer] unlocked! Reward: +100 Reputation, 1,000 Gold Coins!"
"System Announcement: Since a player in this region has reached Level 30, the system will undergo its third upgrade! Upgrade Time: 10 hours! Players, please log off from a safe location within 3 minutes!"
"As expected! Level 30 players are about to undergo their Second Class Transfer, so an update is standard procedure for the system." Wen Yu nodded.
He prioritized looking at his new achievement.
[Leveling Pioneer]
Description: Awarded to the first player to reach Level 30!
Luck +5
Still so simple and unadorned, yet still so powerful! It directly pushed Wen Yu's critical hit rate to the 80% mark!
He then looked at his backpack.
The [attribute materialization card] and [skill materialization card] were still in a sealed state. He didn't know if they could only be used after the class transfer, or if they weren't items meant for Level 30.
However, the seal on his space mage class change scroll had already been broken!
[space mage class change scroll]
Description: Attain transcendence. Upon use, automatically transfer to the Hidden Class - Space Mage.
Nice! This was very nice!
But Time was running out, and Wen Yu didn't plan to change classes immediately. He would wait until the system update was complete.
In his last bit of Time online, Wen Yu looked at the level rankings.
[Time] Level 30 (0%) (Mage)
[Dynasty - Emperor] Level 26 (34%) (Archer)
[Sharp Blade - Wang Bin] Level 24 (89%) (Archer)
[Still Not Calling Mom] Level 24 (69%) (Warrior)
[Gathering Righteousness - Righteous Brother] Level 24 (15%) (Warrior)
[Sharp Blade - Lin Sirong] Level 23 (95%) (Warrior)
[Hidden Kill - Asura is Here] Level 23 (92%) (Assassin)
[Fantasy - Yu Yu Hakusho] Level 23 (88%) (Archer)
[Dynasty - Morning Star] Level 23 (82%) (Warrior)
[Sharp Blade - Qi Yue] Level 23 (74%) (Assassin)
They were all well-known big shots. Qi Yue? If Wen Yu remembered correctly, she was the female assassin who performed exceptionally well when he went to watch Sharp Blade fight a boss.
He didn't expect that after receiving intensive training, she would break into the top 10 of the rankings. On the other hand, there was Doomsday; he didn't know where that guy had dropped to...
"Emperor being ahead by two levels is likely because he's fought the Corpse Emperor three Times. I wonder what difficulty he played on."
