Building a sect from scratch.

Fang Xianyu was also helpless. This war was different from the past. The reason why she didn't give players any cheat codes to reduce resurrection cooldown was mainly because she wanted to preserve her strength and be the last barrier.

At the very least, she needs to ensure she has enough system energy points to end everything—even if she can't kill the Valley Ancestor, she can still go back in time and do a "third cycle".

To appease the players, Fang Xianyu had no choice but to have the project team design a set of infrastructure activities to divert the players' attention.

"A new event? Isn't the limited-time battlefield event still going on?"

Due to restrictions on preventing minors from becoming addicted to games, Han Rong could only play for a short while each time he logged in, so he had long given up on participating in the limited-time battlefield event.

Anyway, she didn't care much about equipment and had a lot of fun with her casual gameplay. There was no need for her to waste her limited game time on running around the map and waiting for resurrection cooldowns, so she never paid much attention to these limited-time events—unless the rewards were really hard to refuse.

Therefore, when Han Rong heard that her relatives and friends had come specifically to invite her to "participate in a new activity," her first reaction was to frown.

She really didn't want playing a game to feel like going to school, not only having to clock in on time but also sacrificing her free gaming time. She did glimpse the event announcement with a changed background image when she logged in, but she didn't look at it carefully. At the time, she thought it was just a change in the promotional image for the limited-time battlefield event, but she didn't expect it to be a new event.

My friend waved his hand and complained, "Hey! It'll be over soon! The announcement already said it would end by noon tomorrow! But this time it's really strange, the limited-time battlefield hasn't ended yet, and the new event has already started. Everyone's saying that the developers finally realized that too many people have quit the game recently, and they regretted it, so they want to do some events to keep the players!"

What kind of event is it? Are the rewards good? Do they give away any cosmetic items?

Han Rong had no regrets or interest in the dog-themed event planner, but she cared a lot about the event rewards. If it was like the last military parade event where they gave away limited-edition outfits and decorations, she would definitely have to get enough points to redeem all the rewards!
The relatives and friends excitedly replied, "That's exactly what we were saying! This time the reward is a house!"

"Give away a house?"

"Yes! They're not just giving away houses in the game, they're giving away houses in real life too!"

Han Rong's friend is two years older than Han Rong and his ID is [Danqingke]. He was originally Han Rong's master when he first entered the game. Later, the two got along better and better as they played together and became close friends who were always together.

【Danqingke】Studied art in college, so she didn't have many classes. However, she's also a serious internet addict, spending most of her time playing games. A self-proclaimed "casual" gamer, she pays close attention to limited-time events.

After all, Danqingke's dungeon-running skills are really worrying, as she's always been a bit uncoordinated. If it weren't for the equipment she got by exchanging points from various limited-time events, she probably would have fallen behind the main group long ago—she's an older player even earlier than Han Rong!
The rewards for this event made her rub her eyes so hard she almost thought she hadn't woken up properly! "The new event covers a huge area, from the Ten Thousand Mountains all the way to the Duguang Plains. They say they're building the first psionic technology city. There are several ways to earn points, the easiest being participating in the event's construction tasks. Then, besides equipment, the event points shop also has [Housing Exchange Coupons], which are supposedly for houses in this new city. Once it's built, you can exchange them for a free house! But that's not the point. The point is..."

[Danqingke] was so excited his voice changed: "The key point is that besides the housing lottery tickets in the game, there's also a golden legendary quality item called the [Blue Star Housing Lottery Ticket]. It's said that 'Ten Continents Chronicles' has invested in a piece of land near the new airport in the capital to build a 'Ten Continents Chronicles' themed community! After exchanging for that [Blue Star Housing Lottery Ticket], you can participate in a lottery, with a 0.5% chance of winning a house in that community! You just need to pay some property tax and stuff, and you can get a house for free!"

Han Rong wasn't the type to be oblivious to what was going on around her. Both her parents were in business, so she naturally understood how outrageous this reward was: "Really? Although housing prices in the capital have dropped quite a bit since the household registration system reform, they're still very expensive! And 'Ten Continents Chronicle' has switched to real estate? That's too surreal!"

[Danqingke], who had already checked the housing prices, had her eyes sparkling: "Yeah! Even the cheapest apartments over there cost over 10,000! So who wouldn't want to participate in this event! But it's a pity that each person can only redeem one raffle ticket, and the 0.5% probability is too low. I feel that with my luck, it's really uncertain... Sigh!"

As he spoke, [Danqingke] sighed and then complained, "When I was a kid, even in those supermarket raffles where anyone could win tissues, I could only get 'Thank you for your patronage!'"

Han Rong comforted his relatives and friends, and even offered a terrible suggestion: "Be confident! What if your luck turns around? If all else fails, just go to Cai Cai's house and wait for the lottery!"

As a well-known lucky charm in the entire server, [Chai Gou Cai Cai]'s home has almost become a holy place for all kinds of mystical and superstitious people to take photos!
Even a 0.5% probability is a huge temptation, so the two hit it off immediately and rushed to the event map.

The entire event map has now been sealed off by Fang Xianyu using magic, making it impossible to enter normally. It can only be accessed through a specific portal, turning it into a special "dungeon".

Upon entering the event map, a task panel automatically appears on the right side of their field of vision, displaying various event tasks to be accepted and total event points statistics. Even the event shop is accessed through this panel.

Opening the event shop, sure enough, at the very top is a golden halo. The first item to redeem is the [Blue Star Housing Lottery Ticket] (Limited 1/1), followed by the [Housing Exchange Ticket] (Limited 1/1). Although it is also golden, it doesn't have that dazzling halo. It's obvious which one is more valuable!
However, the exchange points required for the [Blue Star Housing Lottery Ticket] are terrifyingly high, a whopping one million points! This makes the [Housing Exchange Ticket], which only costs ten thousand points, seem like freebies! Not to mention the equipment and various items that only cost a few thousand points!

Han Rong felt somewhat intimidated, and even began to speculate "maliciously": "Wow! Could it be that no one can accumulate a million points?"

[Danqingke] scratched his head: "It shouldn't be that bad. To be honest, it's just a lottery ticket. If they really didn't plan to give away too many, they could have done it behind the scenes! There's no need to trick us in such an obvious way!"

After a brief discussion, the two quickly got to work on various tasks, such as chopping trees and cleaning the ground. Each task gave a pitifully small number of points, only a few dozen. Many players who were doing the same tasks were complaining that the developers had no intention of letting them redeem lottery tickets!
