Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

[Defeat Guardian Kane to gain 298858 experience points]

[Congratulations to the player for clearing stage one of "The King's Relics"! You have gained 100 million experience points.]

...

Fifteen cards appeared before them. The group opened the cards one by one, and in an instant, golden light shone, and pieces of golden equipment appeared from the cards.

A quick glance revealed a whopping 8 pieces of gold equipment! 2 skill books! The rest were mostly rare items like resurrection coins and gems.

A flash of light, and 15 people exited the instance.

[Ding~ Completed the epic public quest "Guardian Knight - Kane". Quest rewards: 10 million experience points, all attributes +1000, 1 gold-grade piece of equipment, 200 reputation.]

...

At this moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Guardian Kane's mechanics are just too ridiculous. Even though they had already killed him once, the team members were still shaken.

"Good heavens! This is only the first boss, and we're already struggling so much. There are still five guardian bosses to come, and even the king who's being protected! Can... can we even beat this game?"

No one answered the question; everyone, including Ouyang Qingtian, fell silent.

Judging from the strength shown by the first boss, the others won't be any weaker.

The reason I was able to clear the game today is ultimately because I had resurrection coins.

Without resurrection coins, the team would have been wiped out by the BOSS long ago due to their weakened combat strength.

Then there's the final self-destruct, which deals a full 50% of maximum health as damage. This means that players must ensure their health is above half before killing Kane, otherwise they will surely die!

The problem is, where did they get so many resurrection coins?

If you were to reach the final level and face six guardian bosses plus a king-level ultimate boss, even dozens of resurrection coins might not be enough.

"Sister-in-law, this raid seems much harder than Arthas's. At this rate, we won't have enough resurrection coins." Wang Yue's voice was full of worry.

The same was true for the others; they thought they could get the first kill, but reality gave them a harsh slap in the face.

The first kill might be achievable, but the process will likely be quite difficult.

If killing each guardian boss requires paying several, or even a dozen, resurrection coins, how are they supposed to progress through the raid?

"Resurrection Coins! We need resurrection coins to achieve a first clear, and a lot of them! From now on, we all need to run the small town raid once a day to get as many resurrection coins as possible. Besides that, we need to go back and review today's fight against the Kane boss. Our teamwork still has flaws; we absolutely must figure out the most resurrection-efficient strategy!"

"Ouyang Qingtian, what do you think?"

For the first time ever, the two didn't start arguing.

Ouyang Qingtian crossed his arms and said seriously, "No problem. I also think there's something wrong with our battle tactics. Many of our soldiers died by mistake when they shouldn't have, wasting resurrection coins. I'll go back and negotiate with the Flame Demon first. You guys should hurry back to the city too, or we might run into the God King."

See you in the dungeon tomorrow at noon!

After leaving a message, Ouyang Qingtian immediately used a return scroll to return to town.

"Bye-bye, beauties~ I'm leaving too~" Ouyang Lie said goodbye to everyone and then left as well.

At this point, only the Star Moon Squad remained in the instance.

"Let's go. Don't give the temple a chance to cause trouble. The rest is beyond our control. Be here at noon tomorrow."

"Okay~!"

A dozen or so beams of light flashed, and the entire hall was now empty.

...

...

...

"Bang!"

Within the temple grounds, inside the city lord's mansion,

The God-King slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise.

"Damn it! That crazy old hag Ouyang Qingtian has no shame! This raid was discovered by our temple, and it's one thing for them to get there first, but now they're even teaming up with the Flame Demon and the God-Slaying Alliance to pressure me! Forcing me to relinquish the raid license, this is simply outrageous!"

Dozens of people in the hall kept their heads down and remained silent, none daring to provoke trouble at such a time.

Beside him, Su Qingxue sighed and gently patted the God King's back. "Husband, don't be angry. Although we were the ones who found out, you know our movements can't be hidden from others. Besides, the main city's raid isn't like a small town's raid; even if we're one of the top ten guilds, we can't possibly defend it."

"Furthermore, this instance isn't subject to ticket restrictions. As long as there are energy crystals, any number of people can enter, making it even more uncontrollable. Therefore, rather than being enemies with the three factions, it's better to develop the instance together. However, we can't just give up the instance for free; they have to pay us to enter! It's not expensive, 1 gold coin per entry, and it's 1 gold coin per person!"

"This amount of money is no problem for the major guilds. In order to avoid falling out with us, they will most likely agree. If that happens, once the news gets out, how many players will come to run the dungeon every day? Probably thousands or even tens of thousands. Then we can get thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins every day! That should be enough to make up for our losses."

"TOLL?"

The God King stared blankly at Su Qingxue, and a glint of light suddenly appeared in his eyes, which were originally filled with anger.

"Great! Great idea! The Blazing Fire Guild, the Demon Flame Guild, and the God-Slaying Alliance definitely don't lack money. A few drops from the dungeon are worth more than 20 gold coins. Other guilds won't dare defy the Temple and will surely pay up obediently. There are nearly 100 million players in Vermilion Bird City! Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, probably come to run the dungeon every day!"

"If it really is 1 gold coin per person, that's... hundreds of thousands of gold coins per day!"

"Okay, okay! I'll contact them right away to negotiate!"

...

...

The next day, at noon.

Unlike the previous time when it was empty, the main hall was now crowded with people, at least dozens or even hundreds of them.

"You're here! Come on over, we're about to enter the map."

From a distance, Ouyang Qingtian greeted the team and invited them to join her in the dungeon.

The people around him were not unfamiliar either; they were mostly familiar faces from Suzaku City.

Whether it's the God King, the Flame Demon, or the Black Mountain Divine Sword and Ling Yun, they can all be considered old acquaintances.

"Sister Qingtian, did you really get the temple to compromise? They actually opened the dungeon and let everyone in." Wang Yue asked the God King not far away with a curious look.

"Heh~" Ouyang Qingtian scoffed. "Compromise? His demand is that from now on, everyone entering the dungeon will have to pay a 1-gold-coin 'entry fee,' which is why he agreed to open up the dungeon's access."
