Chapter 608 Zhangjuxia City
"Stop running dungeons, go farm in humanoid monster camps in the wild. It's more efficient than dungeons, but you're more likely to get PvPed."
"It's a good opportunity to practice in PvP. Anyway, the third round is going to be a fight, so I can get used to it in advance."
"You have a great attitude. Last time I was farming monsters, I was ambushed three times by a rogue who was five levels higher than me, and two of my pieces of equipment were destroyed."
"That's why you need to team up. Solo farming in the jungle is like walking ATMs."
"Teaming up doesn't work either; if the enemy team comes, they can still wipe you out."
"Then let's have the guild members compete to see who has the most people."
"Solo players are crying; without a guild, they can only play solo."
"Casual players can easily form random teams. Just shout it out in the world chat and a bunch of people will respond."
"Pickup groups are unreliable and have poor teamwork. Yesterday, I was in a dungeon with a pickup group, and the tank couldn't hold aggro, so we wiped three times."
"That's because you were unlucky. Last time I joined a random group, I met a pro who carried me the whole way, and we finished the dungeon in ten minutes."
"Looking for a pro to carry me!"
"The big boss is very busy. He's busy competing for the top spot in the Multiverse Domination rankings. He doesn't have time to take you along."
"Sigh, that's the difference between an average player and a high-level player."
"That's right. I know a top player on the leaderboard who spends 18 out of 24 hours a day grinding monsters, even while sleeping, he's AFK practicing his crafting skills."
"That's too demanding! Games are just for fun."
"Entertainment? You probably don't understand. The rewards for the first three rounds of the Multiverse Conquest are enough to buy a house in real life. Tell me, how much effort do you think people put into it?"
"Holy crap, really? How come I didn't know that?"
"Go check the official website announcement. The top 1,000 players in the total points ranking of the Multiverse Conquest can redeem real-world currency. The top ten will receive villas and luxury cars."
"...Is it too late for me to get a liver transplant now?"
"The third round hasn't even started yet, you still have 12 hours, hurry up, go out into the wild to farm humanoid monsters, and form an efficient team."
"Isn't the humanoid monster camp usually booked out by big guilds?"
"If you've booked the whole place, why don't you find another location? The map is so big, do you really have to fight with other people for it?"
"Forget it, I'll just go to the dungeon. It's safer that way, at least I won't be camped by someone."
"Dungeons are too inefficient. It takes half an hour to complete a dungeon, and the experience gained is less than ten minutes of grinding in the open world."
"You need to be alive to get it. Last month, I was farming humanoid monsters in Sunset Plains when I was killed five times by an assassin eight levels higher than me. Three pieces of my equipment were destroyed, and the cost of repairing the equipment was more than the gold I earned."
"Hahahaha, what a disaster."
"What are you laughing at? It's like you've never been squatted on before."
"...Okay, I've been ambushed before. That assassin even hid and ambushed me for half an hour."
"So, this game is really unfriendly to casual players."
"no way!!!"
"Let's fight! Let's fight! The third round should be a free-for-all, I love chaotic battles."
"Damn it! Last round I was hiding in the bushes and a mage's AOE blast woke me up. I died for no reason."
"You can only blame your bad luck. I survived from start to finish in the last round and managed to make it to the second round."
"Greetings, King Gou; goodbye, King Gou."
"Haha, the third round might be a capture-the-point mode."
"That's much more interesting than ARAM. Fighting alone is too reliant on equipment, while capturing points requires more tactics."
"Capture the point mode? Then my healer will finally be useful! I don't have to go up there to die, I can just stand in the back and heal."
"You wish! In capture point mode, healers are the first to be targeted. Everyone knows to kill healers first."
"...Can't you leave me with a little hope??"
"No, reality is harsh. I suggest you bring several survival skills, preferably Flash or Ice Block as well."
"A wet nurse doesn't have a refrigerator. That's a mage's skill."
"That's why I'm letting you change jobs; you can still reset your skill points now."
"Get lost, I'm not turning around, the nanny has it so easy."
"Peaceful? You probably haven't seen a healer on the battlefield being chased and hacked down by three assassins."
"..."
The discussion on the world channel continued, ranging from monster-hunting strategies to the rewards of the Multiverse Conquest, and then from the rewards to the grudges and rivalries between the various major guilds.
Some people started analyzing the possible format of the third round, while others were busy forming teams and recruiting people, with a few guys occasionally selling equipment or asking for dungeon runs.
The entire channel was as bustling as a market, with messages flooding the screen at a dizzying speed.
Lin Tian looked at the countdown below the system announcement and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
12 hours.
The third round of the Battle for Supremacy is finally about to begin.
He glanced at the discussions on the world channel, some excited, some anxious, and some indifferent, and then casually closed the interface.
The joys and sorrows of ordinary players are a matter of another world to him.
It's not that he's arrogant, but rather that he's now at a level that's truly on a different plane from most people.
He said goodbye to Fang Ping at the end.
Fang Ping was leading the garrison cavalry in a chase of fleeing orc soldiers across the wasteland. His body was splattered with dark beast blood, but his face wore the most exhilarating smile he had had in days.
He rode on his horse, his sword held horizontally in front of him, the horse's hooves pounding the frozen ground, followed by a long line of garrison cavalry, each of them at the peak of morale.
"Lin Tian, you go back and rest!" Fang Ping shouted from afar, his voice booming in the cold wind. "I'll chase them for another ten miles and then call it a day. None of these beastmen bastards will escape!"
Lin Tian nodded and turned to walk towards Juxia City.
Lin Tian walked past them, and several guards immediately stood up and saluted.
"Good day, Commander Lin!"
"Commander Lin, that move you just made was so cool! You completely controlled that shaman elder!"
"Wow, Commander Lin, those Shadow Orbs exploded in clusters, it gave me goosebumps."
Lin Tianchao and the others waved their hands, said nothing more, and walked straight into Juxia City.
He then returned to his residence.
I brought up the system panel and began to organize what I had learned during this period.
First, there's the level.
In just a few days since entering Juxia City, he has risen from level 73 to level 74 (70).
The reason is simple: he didn't kill ordinary monsters, but alien races.
The experience gained from monsters of the same level is only about one-tenth of that gained from monsters of the same level from other races.
However, the advantage of wild monsters is that they are widely distributed and respawn quickly.
Therefore, the best way for ordinary players to level up is always to farm monsters, which is safe, stable, and hassle-free.
Different races are different.
Other races are organized, intelligent, and factional hostile forces, such as orcs, undead, and demons.
They move in groups, have their own strongholds and patrol routes, and will actively attack players who come into their line of sight, and will even hunt players when they are alone.
Killing alien races is much riskier than farming wild monsters, but the rewards are also much higher—not only in terms of experience, but also in the equipment and materials dropped by alien races, which are far superior to those dropped by wild monsters.
