Because he hadn't done his homework, Forgotten River Wanderer was ambushed by a Zombie and died within fifteen minutes. Frustrated but determined, he continued to queue up for the challenge. He was committed to getting to the bottom of this today!
After all, he was an experienced second-tier Adventurer. This not only meant he had at least 10 points of energy but also that he possessed richer Adventuring experience. While waiting in line, Forgotten River Wanderer secretly observed other Adventurers to absorb their strategies and quickly improve.
After failing three times in a row, he finally cleared the fourth attempt.
"The combat in this Tidal Secret Realm... it's really exhilarating!" This was his most direct feeling. Unlike most Adventurers, the unique world view of Raging Tide and its Zombie monsters were incredibly attractive.
But compared to the two, there was one thing that captivated him even more: the unique special weapons of Miracle City: firearms!
Forgotten River Wanderer believed these mechanical weapons had a fascinating and unique beauty. They were precise, efficient, and provided a thrilling user experience with each shot delivering strong positive feedback.
Elegant! Efficient! Violent! They were a man's most romantic toys! How many types of firearms were there in this Tidal Secret Realm world? It would be amazing if he could collect a few!
Firearms and Zombies were a perfect match. Even if this Tidal Secret Realm had nothing else, just shooting guns would keep him entertained for days. Forgotten River Wanderer had to admit he was getting hooked!
The Miracle City Tidal Secret Realm boasted a high drop rate. After four challenges, he obtained two supply items, plus a Zombie soul essence that dropped when he cleared the level. Both the basic supplies and the valuable Zombie soul essence were unique. The generous rewards would be another major reason for Adventurers to choose Miracle City!
If subsequent content for the Tidal Secret Realm could consistently maintain this level, it would definitely continue to be popular in Black Stone Town and might even have a significant impact on Tianyun City.
However, if he had to find fault with Miracle City, Forgotten River Wanderer could identify a few shortcomings. The Miracle Lord was too focused on immersion, presence, and experience while lacking necessary malicious design elements.
What are malicious design elements? These can be understood as unavoidable traps left by the Lord in the Tidal Secret Realm. As long as you touch them, you will inevitably die, requiring continuous trial and error, adjustments, and luck to pass smoothly. This design is essential for any Tidal Secret Realm and can greatly increase the number of trial and error attempts for Adventurers, extending the operational lifespan of the Tidal Secret Realm.
However, Forgotten River Wanderer found no such random deadly designs. The Miracle City Lord was like a demanding product manager; he did not allow experience-destroying elements in his Tidal Secret Realm. After all, he was too young! He had seen idealistic Lords before, and it was just a pity that their endings were not very good. No matter how good the talent or how many inspirations, there would come a time when they ran out.
Although from an Adventurer's perspective, he appreciated such meticulously crafted work, from the perspective of a Lord and a territory, a successful Tidal Secret Realm is not necessarily a fun one. Instead, it lies in its ability to operate continuously for a long time, constantly providing resources to the Underground City, preferably making Adventurers dependent, continuously investing sunk costs, and finally completing routine tasks like clocking in and out of work on time.
In this regard, Tianyun City excelled, which is also the reason for its long-lasting prosperity.
However, this was not something he should be concerned about right now. Forgotten River Wanderer had already completed the beginner mode. He heard that the level mode had more firearms, so he immediately started the challenge, chose the multiplayer mode, and then started random matching online.
**[Match successful!]**
**[Your teammates are Nancilia, Arno, and Pear Blossom Rain Falling!]**
He teamed up with three Adventurers. Two of them were Miracle City exclusive Adventurers. Nancilia and Arno were among the earliest citizens of Miracle City and also among the earliest non-human Adventurers in Miracle City. At this time, they had just finished challenging the first level of the beginner mode.
As for Pear Blossom Rain Falling? She was a newcomer to Miracle City, looking like a quiet little girl on the outside. After the four entered the Tidal Secret Realm, they first communicated to determine the captain.
Pear Blossom Rain Falling immediately said, "I'm a newcomer; this is my first time challenging a level. I'll just follow instructions!"
Forgotten River Wanderer replied, "Emily, since you are the one among us four who knows the most about the End of the World Tide Tidal Secret Realm, I'll leave the command of this operation to you!"
Although he was a second-tier Adventurer, Nancilia, as the chief network administrator of the Miracle City Hall, had been observing and recording Adventurer activities every day these past few days, giving her the most thorough understanding of the Tidal Secret Realm details. It was indeed most suitable for her to command the operation.
Nancilia did not refuse. "Okay, since everyone trusts me, I will be responsible for commanding this operation. Our goal is not just to clear the level but also to defeat a Tank or a Witch!"
Pear Blossom Rain Falling was a little worried: "I heard that Tanks and Witches are very difficult to fight. Do we newcomers really have this ability?"
"Even if you can take a shortcut in the first level, you still have to face this terrifying enemy in the second level. It's better to practice in advance!" Forgotten River Wanderer expressed support.
Why did he support it? Because he heard that someone had dropped an M16 Assault Rifle in the first level. The first drop of this type of equipment or special drop is always the most difficult. As long as someone drops it once, the subsequent probability will increase. Today, a lucky person had already dropped a second one in multiplayer mode.
Although the probability was still very small, as long as it can drop, it's worth a try. To increase the probability of equipment drops, you need to score more points to get a higher evaluation!
If he could own an M16 Assault Rifle of his own... he couldn't even imagine how cheerful and happy he would be!
"I am a second-tier Adventurer with thousands of Adventuring experiences. Isn't it just a Tank and a Witch? Let's do it!"
Nancilia and Forgotten River Wanderer both proposed challenging the five-star monsters, and Arno was following Nancilia. Seeing this situation, Pear Blossom Rain Falling naturally did not raise any further objections.
The operation began. First attempt, second attempt... third attempt! The four of them challenged it three times together. The first two attempts failed for various reasons, as three of the team members were newcomers.
Although they failed twice, the Adventurers were not discouraged. Instead, they summarized their experiences and continued to fight. Finally, on the third attempt, relying on Forgotten River Wanderer's rich adaptability, they successfully hunted a Tank Zombie.
Ultimately, they cleared the level. However, to Forgotten River Wanderer's disappointment, he did not drop the M16 that he had been longing for, nor did he even drop a Tank Zombie Soul. He only obtained an Exploder Soul.
At this moment, the usually quiet and honest Arno excitedly shouted, "Sister Emily, quickly help me see if I'm hallucinating. Is this really a Tank Zombie Soul?!"
Nancilia took a look. It was indeed a Tank. "Congratulations, congratulations! Take this Tank Zombie Soul and immediately apply to the Lord for a contract. This is definitely an opportunity that can change your fate!"
Arno was in a daze. He felt as if he were living in a dream. He was just the most ordinary and humble Dwarf villager. Now, not only had he become a Miracle City Adventurer, but he had also obtained a Tank Zombie Soul. He felt that the gears of fate had begun to turn at this moment!
"If I can become a subordinate general under the Lord, I, Arno, will definitely put in my best effort and pledge my life to serve the Lord!"
Forgotten River Wanderer immediately asked, "Are we still going to grind? How about one more attempt? There are many aspects that can be further improved, and the tactics can also be optimized. We can definitely perform better and even hunt two five-star monsters!"
At this moment, in a certain direction in the hall, Cat Meow Meow jumped and waved, shouting to Nancilia, "Emily, come quickly, come quickly!"
"Haven't you always wanted to know about the End of the World Tide world plot? Sister Mingyue is already starting the plot mode! I've saved you a good spot; hurry over and watch the drama together!"
