Chapter 479 - 261: The Drawback of Merging with an Ancient Demon Bloodline
“The Twelve Zodiac corresponds to the twelve states, killing players from other zodiacs to get points? Could it be…”
After reading the introduction to the game event, Su Nan instantly thought of a type of gameplay in traditional games.
Cross-server activities!
In traditional games, during the mid or late stages, there are often events that allow players from different servers to battle, stimulating player spending and increasing their enthusiasm for the game.
Now, the “Twelve Zodiac” event is clearly a cross-server activity similar to traditional games.
During the event, players from the twelve states can enter the “Twelve Zodiac,” and as a result, the situation of players from twelve states appearing on the same map will occur.
If the last rule of “killing other zodiac players can earn points” didn’t exist, no one could be sure which direction this cross-server activity would develop.
But with the last rule, the meaning is different.
“The game wants players from the twelve states to kill each other!”
Su Nan was puzzled, not understanding why the game would do this.
Players from the twelve states come from different countries, and conflict would inevitably arise even without the game’s last rule.
This occurs in any game.
However, conflicts between various parties would not be as intense.
“What is that so-called Star Palace Divine Artifact?”
Su Nan was curious.
When he saw the word “Divine Artifact,” he first thought of the divine weapons of the human race. Both had the word “divine,” which seemed very similar.
But he wouldn’t think that the so-called “divine artifact” would be the same as divine weapons.
Would monsters drop divine weapons in loot?
This was obviously impossible.
According to the announcement, even killing the lowest-level Star Palace Guard could have a probability of getting divine artifacts. It could only be said that the so-called divine artifact might just be a general term.
As for its power, it’s hard to say.
Unlike the first two tasks, this event doesn’t have a forced participation setting or an elimination mechanism, which makes it quite friendly to new players.
“This time, we can finally compete with players from other states. I’m really looking forward to it!”
“Our Dongchen State is definitely among the top in the Twelve States. I wonder how players from other states will resist us.”
“Hahaha! Great, I can finally kill those Japanese bastards! They even tried to lead monsters towards us Hua Country people earlier, we’ll definitely show them our strength this time.”
“Looking for members! War-King Guild is recruiting a large number of members, come to our War-King Guild, and we’ll sweep the Twelve Zodiac together…”
In the regional chat, countless players were excited.
What mattered most wasn’t the points, but finally being able to compete with players from other states.
Many people were sharpening their knives.
Meanwhile, the major guilds took this opportunity to recruit a large number of players, expanding their teams.
After reading the announcement, Su Nan looked at the Personal Information Panel.
On the panel, his Great Sun Golden Body Scripture under the ancient scriptures column had changed from “Not yet started” to “First floor.”
[Great Sun Golden Body Scripture: First Floor (Golden Skin Realm)]
[Current completion progress: 1%, consumes 50 Demon Power per practice, and speeds up by 10%, can accelerate once daily.]
“Consumes 50 Demon Power to speed up by 10%?”
Su Nan’s eyes brightened, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the record of the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture, to complete the first realm’s Golden Skin will take at least three months.
Three months is not a long time for other martial artists, but it’s too long for him. He can’t wait that long.
Now he can use Demon Power to accelerate his practice, which is very much to his liking.
“If I can accelerate my practice once a day, in at most ten days, I can complete the Golden Skin Realm.”
“If I can find that so-called Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng within those ten days, wouldn’t it mean I can upgrade the Great Sun Golden Body to the Second-Level in just ten days?”
His Bloodline Path has fused too quickly, already reaching the player’s limit.
Unless something unexpected happens, his next focus on cultivation will shift from fusing bloodlines to practicing ancient scriptures.
Now that ancient scriptures can also be upgraded with Demon Power, it means a lot to him.
“It costs 50 Demon Power per time, and even if I only upgrade nine times, it will cost 450 Demon Power. Indeed, the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture is a money-sucking beast, and ordinary people really can’t practice it.”
50 Demon Power may not be much for him, who has three roles, but for ordinary players, even if they reach the Xuan-level, it’s hard to say whether they can get 50 Demon Power a day.
Even for Su Nan, if he only had one role and didn’t slay King-Level Great Monsters, he could only get forty-five Demon Power a day.
Moreover, to advance from the First-Level to the Second-Level, it requires one hundred drops of Xuan Stage Demon Beast Essence Blood and a spirit object called Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng.
Just this alone is enough to block the majority of players, and without the support of a strong power, they might not be able to gather these resources in a year.
After closing the Personal Information Panel, Su Nan checked today’s tasks.
Just like before, Wang Nan and Zhang Yang’s tasks were to slay demons, while Lang Thirteen’s task was to hunt players.
“I wonder if slaying players in the Twelve Zodiac can complete the task?”
Su Nan’s gaze flickered, somewhat expecting it.
Unfortunately, even if it could, he could only complete the daily tasks, as the Mainline Task required him to slay Xuan-Level players, and there were no Xuan-Level players for him to slay now.
The Twelve Zodiac would open at 8 pm, but it wasn’t even 1 o’clock in the morning yet, so there were still more than a dozen hours left before it opened.
