DNF: I am from version 110!

To his great regret, this year's anniversary celebration still lacked originality and followed the same old routine.

However, some of the rewards have been upgraded based on the old formula.

The first reward is a choice of a level 100 epic weapon with +12 base stats and +8 forging.

This isn't very appealing to most players who haven't quit the game, but it might be useful for new players or those who specifically logged in today to claim the anniversary rewards.

At least if they were in the mood to use this weapon to farm the next map, they might be caught and killed.

The official team probably thinks the same way. The significance of the anniversary event is self-evident. As long as some players stay, it will be a success.

Of course, it's also acceptable for experienced players to use weapons with +12 white stats to transition to lower-level characters.

The second reward is a selection box of two Brilliant Badges, which can only be claimed the day after the first reward is claimed.

Although the current graduation badge is a delicate badge, a brilliant badge can also be upgraded to a delicate badge.

Moreover, there are quite a few players using Brilliant Emblems right now, and not all players have the ability to equip a full set of Exquisite Emblems.

The third reward is a Pure Amplification Book and a Mystery Gift Box containing an Equipment Amplification Ticket.

Opening this Equipment Enhancement Ticket Mystery Gift Box will randomly grant you one Equipment Enhancement Ticket ranging from +10 to +12.

Therefore, the rewards for the third round are quite valuable.

However, not many people probably expect to get a +12 equipment enhancement ticket from a random gift box.

The rewards for the fourth round are even better: a Transparent Sky set and a Joyful Token Gift Box.

In addition to these two items, there is even a dazzling and ever-changing outfit set gift box.

The token gift box contains 7777 to 99999 tokens randomly.

Even with 7777 tokens, you can open more than 20 magic boxes.

Therefore, for most players, even if it's just for those 7000+ tokens, they should still log in to the game for 4 consecutive days.

The Dog Who Lost His Happiness: This year's anniversary celebration is not much different from before!

Encountering Jiangnan by chance: That's for sure, but it's quieter this year than last year. Many people don't even want those 7000+ tokens anymore.

The Dog Who Lost Happiness: Luckily I have multiple accounts, so I'll collect a few more 7777 tokens this time and see if I can get anything good from the magic box.

Not obviously handsome: Old dog, you've really mastered the essence of fleecing people.

The dog who lost his happiness: Haha, of course, this is the most worthwhile deal to take advantage of every year, you might as well take advantage of it.

Handsome but not obviously handsome: Actually, I also have quite a few alt accounts, and even other cross-server accounts, all waiting for today.

Let me show off a little more: You guys are so clever, unlike me, I just stick to this one account and don't have any other accounts.

The dog that lost its happiness: That's because you're not short of money, so of course you don't need to create so many accounts to fleece people.

Lin Zhengqiu was not surprised at all by Dog Brother and Old Shuai's actions.

In fact, there are players who take advantage of these deals every year.

Anyway, as long as you have multiple accounts, you can log in to the game with a different account every day for the next four days and happily collect more than 7000 tokens.

If you're lucky, you might receive even more tokens, so why not?
This is why, around this time of year, the prices of tradable items obtained from opening Magic Boxes generally drop.

Lin Zhengqiu doesn't have that much energy to play around like that.

Besides online login events, DNF's mini-games are now giving away amplification protection scrolls.

This time, they released a mini-game called "The Great Sky Age," which is essentially a game within a game.

Through this mini-game, you can obtain powerful items such as mythical equipment, equipment enhancement protection tickets, and +8 equipment enhancement tickets.

Later on, the more materials you accumulate, the more you can exchange for items such as +10 equipment enhancement tickets and pet transmogrification slot expansion tickets.

With such a great event, I believe most players will participate, even if it's just to give it a try.

For this 13th anniversary, a system for introducing epic studies was also released.

This new system is mainly for obtaining epic items.

You can earn points by completing the corresponding tasks, and then exchange those points for various items.

Among them is a random converter for level 100 epic equipment.

This converter can transform level 100 epics into other random level 100 epics.

It seems to have little effect, and in fact, it had little effect on Lin Zhengqiu.

You can also use points to redeem Wisdom Guidance Potions.

This potion increases the chance of getting epic items from the Abyss by 2 times.

Among the items that can be redeemed with points are a Level 100 Epic Selection Box and a Level 100 Epic Set 3-piece Miniature Jar.

Neither gift boxes nor miniature jars can yield equipment such as Sirocco or Wisdom's Creed.

Therefore, this is destined to be of little use to players at Lin Zhengqiu's stage.

Nowadays, even mythic equipment, let alone ordinary level 100 epic equipment, doesn't have much appeal.

To encourage players to farm the Abyss, the official team even launched an Epic-themed enticement event.

Through this event, players can designate one character under their account to infinitely farm the Guide of Wisdom.

Not only can you endlessly farm the Abyss, but there are even other rewards to claim.

In short, the purpose of this event is to encourage everyone to farm the Abyss.

More accurately, it encourages players who haven't graduated yet to grind the Abyss, which can provide them with considerable convenience.

Dog Who Lost His Happiness: Brothers, we can now endlessly grind the Abyss!
I stumbled upon Jiangnan: But what's the use? Is everyone lacking Abyss Tickets?
My handsomeness isn't obvious: What I lack is the ore of despair! What I lack is money!

I'll pluck a star for you: My disciple, there's a new animal outfit out again, but this female fighter's animal outfit is just too ugly.

Lin Zhengqiu noticed that Xingxing had already put on the new animal costume.

This animal-themed outfit is called the "Adorable Little Beast Costume Pack," and it costs 1999 points.

The price is undeniably reasonable, but in terms of appearance, it's really quite average.

Lin Zhengqiu bought a white outfit for his Berserker, a tiger-themed outfit with a bamboo dragonfly on his head. Compared to the latest animal outfits for other classes, he thought it was one of the better-looking.

The female swordsman's work set is based on a fox and isn't particularly attractive; the male fighter's set is based on a wild boar; the female mage's set is based on a rabbit; and the male gunner's set is based on a zebra...

This gift pack, which costs less than 20 yuan, includes not only the outfit but also a mini Celia pet mystery gift box.

Lin Zhengqiu opened the gift box and chose the mini crocodile Celia.

Neither Celia's pet nor the animal set has any attributes.

They're all about appearance, and even if they have attributes, they're usually pretty bad, so it's better if they don't have any attributes at all.

Let me brag one more time: the zebra design of the Sharpshooter Animal Set is simply unbearable to look at!

Not obviously handsome: Haha, it's alright, the blue zebra is quite pleasing to the eye.

Encountering Jiangnan by Chance: Seriously, no one is complaining about the female gunslinger's parrot look?
It's tough being a real man: Hahahaha! She's completely ruined my image of the female gunner as a goddess.

Lin Zhengqiu also shook his head.

Whether it's the female gunslinger or the female swordsman, their appearance is definitely diminished by this animal-themed outfit. Let me just say this one more thing: Sigh, enough about the animal outfit! Let's get ready for a raid!

Not obviously handsome: Yeah, Ozma's here, guys, time for a team fight.

Lin Zhengqiu then looked at all the content related to the Ozma raid.

The Ozma raid is a 12-player raid, and the entry order is basically the same as the Sirocco raid.

However, its entry requirements are much more stringent.

The current version restricts entry based on reputation points, and to fight Ozma, you need at least 12068 reputation points.

This is just the entry requirement; in this version, most players can reach a reputation value of over 1.2.

However, achieving this level of fame does not guarantee that a team will be willing to accept you.

The Ozma raid is different from previous raids, which typically had a maximum of two phases.

The Ozma raid requires clearing three phases to be considered a complete success.

The mechanics of this raid are also quite complex, with the addition of various systems.

For example, in the sanity system, there is an energy bar next to the health bar that represents sanity.

When attacked by a boss monster, the energy bar representing sanity will decrease, but when it decreases to a certain level, the player will enter the Inner Instance.

In short, this system is quite complicated, requiring players to pay close attention to their positioning.

However, the sanity energy bar can also be restored using consumables.

This consumable item is naturally an Ozma-specific consumable.

As for the time limits for clearing each stage, the time limits for dungeons, and the restrictions on the use of resurrection coins, there's no need to elaborate further.

It's worth mentioning that in the Ozma raid, using a resurrection coin will not reset skill cooldowns.

This restriction is undoubtedly fatal for most players!
Because of their previous experience with raids and speedruns, most players are used to using resurrection coins to reset skill cooldowns.

This has even become a default strategy.

Now that the Ozma raid has limited this aspect, it's easy to imagine that a large number of players will find it difficult to adapt in the short term.

The Ozma raid also places great emphasis on teamwork, and the difficulty of each phase affects the others.

Phase 1 has a large number of dungeons, each of which has its own purpose.

There are images of buffs that increase damage, images of keys that unlock boss dungeons, and even images that can be used for healing.

These diagrams may seem daunting, but the underlying principles are not significantly different from those of previous raids.

If your equipment is strong enough and you understand the mechanics well enough, you can skip some maps.

The difficulty of the Ozma raid is divided by the number of bull heads. The lowest difficulty is represented by no bull heads, while the highest difficulty is represented by three bull heads, commonly known as the Three Bulls.

The rewards are the most abundant if you clear the Three Oxen difficulty level, and the rewards are less if you clear the lower difficulty level.

The Minotaur isn't an option you can choose right upon entering a map; you have to farm maps with increased difficulty yourself.

Furthermore, if you find the difficulty too high, you can actively reduce the number of bull heads, which means reducing the difficulty.

Lin Zhengqiu thought this mechanism was well-designed.

Now that they were about to team up, Lin Zhengqiu still posed a profound question to everyone.

Regret always comes in autumn: How much do you know about Ozma's mechanics? Did you do any research beforehand?

Let me brag one more time: Don't worry! I've already watched quite a few raid videos from the Korean server.

The handsome one isn't very obvious: Me too, but I don't know how much I'll remember when we're fighting.

I'll pluck a star for you: My disciple, I don't know the strategy, what should I do?
Regret always comes in autumn: You don't need to know, just follow me.

Every time a new raid instance appears, Xingxing and Xiaomeng basically don't do any preparation beforehand.

If they were in other assault teams, this could be fatal.

Because in the early stages of raid progression, most raid groups cannot allow any casual players.

But it was different when he was with Lin Zhengqiu. Having two extra people around actually made him feel that team battles were more fun.

Anyway, Xingxing and Xiaomeng are very obedient; all they need to do is follow instructions.

The Dog Who Lost Happiness: Xiaomeng and Xingxing are still the best! Every time we raid, we just join a gold farming group.

I'll pluck a star for you: Haha, if you're not convinced, go find someone to carry you.

The dog that lost its happiness: Isn't this exactly what Brother Regret is taking care of?

Regret always comes in autumn: Alright, those who want to join a raid, hurry up and sign up.

As soon as Lin Zhengqiu sent out this message, the old marshal and others signed up one after another.

The 12 spots were decided in less than a minute, and they were basically the same people who had previously raided Sirocco.

Among them, the pretentious guy also teamed up with Lin Zhengqiu to explore Ozma.

After having everyone complete the main quest, Lin Zhengqiu then arrived at the Ozma Assault Channel.

After creating the team and bringing everyone in, he began assigning squads.

As the team leader, Lin Zhengqiu was naturally in Team 1. Besides him, Team 1 also included Xingxing Xiaomeng and Laoshuai.

He was already used to not having a caregiver or caregiver, because his own output was more than enough.

If you bring a Sword Master, controlling monsters becomes very easy, and Old Shuai's equipment is also very good.

Team 2 has a more standard lineup, with the captain being a show-off, and several teammates including a healer and a crowd control specialist.

Team 3 consists of Dog Brother and Encounter Jiangnan, among others. Their lineup is actually not bad, but it's a bit weaker compared to Team 1 and Team 2.

After the team was assigned, Lin Zhengqiu sent out another message.

Regret always comes in autumn: Show-off, you can lead the team to clear the dungeons on the Despair Crossroads, right?

Let me boast one more time: Don't worry! I dare say it's a piece of cake.

With his impressive gear, this show-off certainly has the right to say such things.

Regret always comes in autumn: a chance encounter in Jiangnan, where are your teams 3?

We encountered Jiangnan by chance: They've assigned us the simplest areas; it would be unreasonable for us to fail.

Regret always comes in autumn: Okay! Remember what I said. After the game starts, try to tackle the more difficult maps as soon as possible, and don't touch the key maps yet.

If the key map is obtained, the difficulty cannot be increased, so this must be discussed with them.

Let me brag one more time: Don't worry! I don't even want to play modes other than the hardest one.

I stumbled upon Jiangnan: With all you big shots around, I can easily increase the difficulty!
The rest is simple: the ticket to the Ozma raid costs 30 iolite, which everyone obviously has.

In that case, let's officially begin the assault on Ozma.

Lin Zhengqiu led Team 1 into the Crossroads of Destruction.

After applying buffs in map 1, he checked the dungeon layout and then led the team to the room on the right. (End of Chapter)
