Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 557 New Limited-Time Battlefield Mission

With the increase in players, "leveling up" has almost become a new industry chain, and the fastest studios can even guarantee that a newbie can reach level 10 in two hours.

The ability to draw in Qi at level 10 means that players can finally leave the beginner area of ​​Penglai Island and truly join the grand world of "Ten Continents Chronicle".

Of course, this also made the three original events seem like not so many. At least the Taiyi Qiankun Sect's post-war event, which was already nearing its end, was announced to be over after no more corpses could be found on the battlefield.

Thus, the new event, "Contending for Ten Thousand Caves Continent," began in full swing, and an announcement immediately popped up, flashing large golden characters on the world channel:
The limited-time battlefield mission, "Contending for Wankuzhou," will begin after a countdown of 7:59:59. The teleportation array will also open after this time. The battlefield location is marked on the map. This limited-time battlefield is relatively far away, has no special status bonuses, but there are no level or cultivation restrictions for participation. A battlefield shop will offer limited-time items that can be exchanged using sect contribution points and prestige points after the battlefield opens. Players are advised to exchange items carefully. (The battlefield shop will open 3 hours before the battlefield begins.)

Unlike the recent series of events and missions, this limited-time battlefield mission has returned to the design of advance announcement, even giving players an 8-hour notice in advance, clearly to allow players ample time to prepare.

"Doesn't this mean that this real battlefield mission is very important?!"

Without using Nietzsche to manipulate the players in his community, [Guan Tang Bao] started making a fuss.

【Huangzhucao】was also chattering away in the group, analyzing: "Definitely! Knowing how this game is, it's bound to be another big storyline! Let's go check ahead and see if there are any pre-event activities or hidden quests! There are so many newbies joining recently, we have to show them around!"

When it came to something as important as "teaching newbies," the veteran players of the Haoqi Changcun community immediately hit it off. They quickly organized five large groups with only a dozen or so people online combined, and even formed a temporary military alliance. They set off in a grand procession on their flying boats towards Wankuzhou.

Wanku Continent and Zhongzhou are adjacent to each other, and the place where the two meet is the Duguang Plain, where the Duguang Kingdom is located.

Because the Taiyin Sect and the Duguang Kingdom signed a contract to respect each other's territorial sovereignty, players are privately prohibited from entering the Duguang Wilderness by flying boat unless they apply for a "navigation permit"—currently only the Gugu Chicken Village, which has the most business dealings with the Duguang Kingdom, has that thing, not even the Chang'an Village!
There was no other way. The players of Gugu Chicken Community used fried chicken to fool the demon cultivators of Duguang Kingdom. They even opened two branches of the fried chicken shop in Duguang Wilderness. From the moment they opened, the shops were packed with people... no, they were packed with demons. They made much more money than the shops they opened in the towns under the rule of Taiyin Sect!
Therefore, the large group led by Nietzsche and others could only use two airships to fly around the Tohiro Plain and south along the coastline.

The flying boats of the Righteous Spirit Endure in the Community fly much slower than airplanes on Earth.

Strictly speaking, the straight-line distance from the entrance of the small world of Wuwang City to Wankuzhou is only a little over a thousand kilometers. If you fly along the coastline, it will be at most a little over two thousand kilometers.

On Earth, this distance would only take a little over two hours by plane, but if the Haoqi Changcun (a powerful force) were to fly it using its own purchased flying boat...

It will take a full four hours!
This is why the five large groups only have a dozen or so people online!

"No rush! Those who need to do their homework should do their homework, and those who need to eat lunch should eat lunch. Our fleet should arrive at Wankuzhou around 4 PM. Those who have time can log in and participate to see if they can run into any pre-requisite events. If there are any newbies who have been playing regularly, do the leveling quests first. Anyway, there is a teleportation array on the airship. We can just ask an experienced player in the group to teleport you over!"

[Human Heart Transforms into the Way] dutifully kept nagging in the group chat. "Speaking of which, aren't you a college student too, boss? Why have I been seeing you online so much lately? Don't fail your courses, that would be a huge loss!"

During the journey, everyone chatted casually, and [Huangzhucao] asked Nietzsche about his academic situation in reality with some concern.

The term "boss" originated from a gaming culture among new players who had just joined the community. They all referred to [Nietzsche], the leader and president of the community who frequently led raids, as "boss."

Surprisingly, it sounded quite natural, so within a few days, even veteran players accepted the nickname and started calling her "Boss".

Upon hearing [Huangzhucao]'s question, [Guantangbao], her best friend, immediately began to mock her friend as usual: "Wow, you still have the nerve to talk about the boss! You're a medical student, and you're online every day too! Do you think you're some kind of 4+4 graduate with the surname Dong?!"

【Emperor Bamboo Grass】retorted angrily: "Wow! How are they the same! I only go online for a little while at night! And I'm not a clinical worker! Look at our boss! She spends half her time playing games every day!"

This piqued the curiosity of the others. [Sea Turtle Qi Pure], who rarely logged in, had taken a break and participated in the event. He couldn't help but ask Nietzsche, "Yes, leader, although the community can't do without you, studies still come first!"

The usually talkative [Human Heart Transformation] remained silent at this moment, even glancing at [Nietzsche] with concern. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but turned his face away guiltily, unable to utter a single word.

"Ahem, actually, what I mean is..."

[Nietzsche] almost broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't very well say that she had been recruited, could she?
After stammering for a while, [Nietzsche] suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, half-jokingly, "Actually, the thing about me playing games... it's 'on orders,' I know that! My major is humanities and social sciences, and my graduation project was related to games, so you see me playing games every day, but actually I'm doing my homework every day!"

Upon hearing this, in a corner unnoticed by anyone, [Human Heart Transformation] first showed a tremor in his pupils, followed by [Soup Dumpling] exclaiming, "Holy crap! Really?!"

"Boss, you're so sexy! Why are you carrying Pinru's wardrobe?!"

【Emperor's Bamboo】also looked incredulous: "Welcome the surprise professor! Welcome the surprise mentor!"

"You can't handle it. You're a medical student; you couldn't possibly come up with any homework assignment that could be done in a game!"

"Speaking of which, I studied interaction design, so could I also...?"

"Then you should be the surprise mentor!"
