Game of the World Tree - Chapter 531

531. Chapter 529 King! Something terrible is happening!

Jiang Shang has paid attention to online game competitions.

In fact, for a masterpiece like “Elf Kingdom” with high quality and excellent reputation, the first prize of 30,000 RMB does not seem to be much.

At first glance, it does not seem to be a big deal as Akai said.

You know, those phenomenal games have prize pools of millions or tens of millions in various international competitions.

And sometimes, the champion of the competition can get half or even more of the entire prize pool.

For the champion, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have become rich overnight.

Of course, most of the players who can win the first prize in various competitions are well-known professional players themselves, and their net worth is not cheap…

Some of them may not even care about the prize money of international competitions, but may be more concerned about the increase in popularity and status brought by winning the prize.

However, these are limited to large-scale competitions with national or even international influence.

From the moment Jiang Shang saw this event post, he understood that the nature of this “Player War Competition” was completely different from those large-scale competitions.

According to the description in the announcement, this is more like a regular event organized by the official for players!

For such a regular event, 30,000 RMB is not a small amount.

Because this is already beyond the monthly income of most people.

According to the usual nature of “Elf Kingdom”, under the condition of accelerated thinking, generally speaking, the duration of an event is difficult to exceed one week in reality.

Such a time is often an official small event in other online games.

Getting this number of rewards within a week is enough to attract many people…

However, what makes Jiang Shang feel itchy is not only the 30,000 bonus, but also the number of places marked after the bonus-

“First prize… 25 silver players, 25 black iron players, a total of 50 people!”

Jiang Shang swallowed his saliva.

If there are only one or a few people who win the first prize, he can only “look up” at most.

There are too many big guys in “Elf Kingdom” who are better than him.

For example, big guys like Hefan, Yuexia Jasmine, and Tomato Fried Tomato, he has no confidence that he can beat them.

But now, there are 25 places!

25 first prize places, Jiang Shang feels that he has a chance to fight for it!

After all, the levels and data of Elf Kingdom in the same rank are still relatively vague. As long as players do not encounter bugs like Xiao Xianmao, there is actually no qualitative difference.

Not to mention, strong strength does not mean that you can get more points in the war.

Therefore, although it is only level 41, Jiang Shang believes that as long as he works hard enough, it is not impossible for him to counterattack in the event and achieve better results than others!

However, when Jiang Shang saw that Iron players also had a fixed allocation of places, he thought about it again:

“I didn’t expect Iron players not to compete with Silver players. From this point of view… Maybe I should have upgraded later, and maybe I would have a better chance of getting the first prize… After all, when I was level 40, I was considered the top combat power among Iron players.”

“Of course… This is not absolute. After all, there are only a few hundred Silver players in total, and Iron players are more than 100,000, and there are also 10,000 full-level players. The competitive pressure is definitely incomparable.”

“Hey, from this point of view, it seems that Silver players are more like their own sons!”

Jiang Shang smiled.

From this perspective, it seems that silver players are really getting the upper hand.

Not to mention…

“Second prize is 10,000 RMB, 50 silver players, 50 iron players.”

“Third prize is 3,000 RMB, 100 silver players, 200 iron players.”

Jiang Shang swallowed his saliva.

“If you calculate the probability, as long as I participate, the probability of winning is still very high! Even if it’s the third prize, it’s great, at least I don’t have to worry about my living expenses for a month!”

Jiang Shang thought expectantly.

“If you calculate it this way, the total reward is about 4 million, right? Hiss… For a regular event, it is indeed a big deal, after all, there are only about 100,000 players in the whole server.”

“Huh? There is also an encouragement award? 30,000 contribution points? This is not limited to the rank, and there are a total of 5,000 places in the whole server…”

Jiang Shang murmured.

“Unfortunately, if it was when the server was just opened, it would be fine, but now the contribution points are everywhere.”

Jiang Shang shook his head.

Contribution is the hard currency of “Elf Kingdom”.

When the game was just tested, Jiang Shang even heard that the ratio of contribution to RMB once reached a terrifying one-to-one ratio.

However, the price of any game will change…

and an item is often the most expensive when it first appears, and it will depreciate when there are more.

Contribution is the same.

Although the exchange price of various equipment in the exchange mall has not changed since its release, the value of contribution is constantly decreasing with the increase in the number of players and the improvement of levels…

Now, although 30,000 contribution points are also very attractive to players, if converted into RMB, it is estimated to be worth more than 100 yuan.

And it is foreseeable that as time goes by, its exchange rate will only get lower and lower…

On the contrary, the housing prices in the Elf Forest have soared higher and higher, especially in the core area of the Chosen City, which is getting more and more outrageous…

Thinking of the daunting housing prices in the Chosen City, Jiang Shang sighed.

“Really, why do I have to bear the pressure of buying a house to play a game…”

Shaking his head, Jiang Shang looked at the event page again.

With the first three rewards in hand, he no longer had any interest in the encouragement award.

Now, all his attention was drawn to the first prize.

“30,000 RMB… I must get it! I’m going to work my ass off this week!”

Jiang Shang clenched his fists.

With this thought in mind, he quickly sent a message to his best friend:

“Akai! Do you want to team up to work hard? The event starts today!”

Akai: “Wake up, we have a full class today.”

“I’m skipping!”

Akai: …

“You’re hopeless.”

…

As Eve expected, the war competition event he posted on the official website was like adding fuel to the burning fire, pushing the enthusiasm of the players to a new climax.

Whether on the forum or in the game, the players were caught up in heated discussions.

“Wow! 30,000 prize money?”

“30,000? That’s not much…”

“Take a closer look! This is a regular event! The kind with a short period! And look at the number of places…”

“Hiss… So many? The probability is very high!”

“Awesome… Spending millions is like playing, did the official get back the money?”

“God knows…”

“I’ll work hard! I’ll work hard even if I have to take a leave this week!”

“Hey, those who take a leave should be careful to be fired!”

The enthusiasm of the players was completely mobilized.

Almost every player chose to sign up for the event.

Not only that, when the time on Blue Star came to Monday morning, although the number of online players in “Elf Kingdom” decreased, it still remained at around 120,000 in the end!

You know, on weekdays during the day, the number of online players is at least halved!

“The power of money is still strong…”

Eve shook her head as she looked at the online data in the game system.

In this event, He spent almost half of the income from players who subscribed to membership this month.

And the effect is still good.

“Well… In the future, you can hold more such events, at least one every month, which can not only mobilize the enthusiasm of players, but also train some full-time players for me…”

“It’s a pity that the number of players is limited now, and the bonuses offered are not much, otherwise I could give more.”

Eve shook her head.

“After this war is over and the first wave of public beta players have completely adapted to the rhythm of the game, we will open the second wave of public beta players.”

…

Death Desert, Sandstorm City.

Well-equipped orc soldiers came and went in the city, and the whole city was shrouded in an atmosphere of urgency.

As the news of the elven army besieging the city spread, the atmosphere in the city became more solemn.

However, although it was solemn, the expressions of the residents in the city were still calm.

This is because the people living here are either orcs who regard war as a common thing like eating, or some desperate criminals…

In addition, Sandstorm City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, solid city walls and a huge army, plus the material channel connecting to the underground world… It also makes them full of confidence in the war.

This is not only the economic center of the Death Desert, but also the most solid fortress!

In the center of Sandstorm City, on the towering Sandstorm Tower.

As a magnificent building left over from the dwarf era, the Sandstorm Tower is not only a well-known landmark of Sandstorm City, but also a magnificent observation tower.

At the same time, it is also a key node for loading the core of the underground city and enshrining the statue of the god of winter and hunting.

Yes, the core of the underground city.

As a city left over from the dwarf era, Sandstorm City also inherited the city core that is the same as the city-state in the underground world, and can activate a nearly complete divine defense barrier.

As the core of the divine barrier, the Sandstorm Tower itself is made of obsidian, a well-known ore in the Death Desert. It is shiny black and indestructible.

This is another reason why the orcs believe that this city cannot be breached.

Therefore, there is a saying in the Death Desert:

“When the Sandstorm Tower stands, the Sandstorm City will stand; when the Sandstorm Tower collapses, the Sandstorm City will collapse; when the Sandstorm City collapses, the entire Death Desert will collapse…”

At this moment, at the top of the Sandstorm Tower.

The Oracle King Bazan stood on the observation deck of the high tower, looking at the desert in the distance in silence.

As he looked far away, about 20 kilometers away from the city, a dark camp was gradually being built.

That was where the elves were stationed.

It had been four days since the elves besieged the city.

During these four days, the elves did not attack Sandstorm City, but settled down.

This was somewhat beyond the expectations of the orcs.

In the minds of the Oracle King Bazan and the High Priest of Procedure, since the elves were so eager to attack the Death Desert, and were advancing all the way, becoming more and more courageous, then the most normal approach should be to take advantage of the victory and continue to attack.

After all, this should be the moment when their morale is at its highest!

But… they stopped.

It would be fine if they were just stationed to rest.

But as they observed, the orcs found that these elves actually had no intention of attacking Sandstorm City!

This puzzled the orcs’ high-ranking officials.

Now it was the elves who went deep into the Death Desert. For them, the longer they delayed, the more unfavorable the situation should be…

The elves’ actions were very strange.

And this strangeness also made the Oracle King Bazan a little uneasy.

He frowned slightly and looked at the elves’ camp.

As a gold professional, he had good eyesight.

With the telescope purchased from the Soran Chamber of Commerce, he could clearly see the movements of the elves…

“They are actually building a wall? No… This doesn’t look like a wall, but more like a city wall! What… do they want to do?”

“And… I always feel that their number has decreased a little…”

Bazan frowned.

Weird.

It was really too weird!

Although reason told Bazan that this confrontation was beneficial to the orcs, he didn’t know why… He was always panicking in the past two days, always feeling that he seemed to have overlooked something…

And just as he continued to observe the elf camp, suddenly, an orc soldier stumbled up the tower.

“King! King! It’s not good! Something bad has happened!”

His voice was very urgent.

The Oracle King Bazan frowned, with a look of displeasure.

He put down the telescope in his hand, turned around, and looked at the soldiers who came.

The soldier who climbed up was sweating and pale, with a look of fear and panic, as well as a subtle confusion…

Bazan’s brows tightened.

He scolded:

“Why are you panicking? The sky hasn’t fallen yet!”

The soldier was panicked and quickly knelt down to confess.

Bazan snorted and then asked:

“Tell me, what happened?”

The soldier wiped his sweat and stammered:

“It was broken! It was… It was broken!”

Broken?

Bazan was slightly stunned.

“Where was it broken?”

He subconsciously glanced at the wall of Sandstorm City, with a puzzled look on his face.

“The Sand Wind Tribe and the Sand Rock Tribe were all broken!”

The Orc soldier answered hoarsely.

Sand Wind and Sand Rock Tribe?

The Oracle King was stunned.

These two Orc tribes are medium-sized tribes near Sandstorm City.

They are located on the other side of the mountains surrounding Sandstorm City and cannot be observed.

But…

“What happened? How could they be defeated? They are behind us! And the elves have been stationed here!”

Bazan asked seriously.

The soldier swallowed his saliva, with a bit of fear and excitement in his expression:

“It’s… it’s underground! Those elves… suddenly emerged from underground! They appeared directly in the two tribes. Before the Sand Wind and Sand Rock tribes could react, they were defeated from the inside!”

Emerged from underground? !

The Oracle King Bazan widened his eyes.

At this moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of some intelligence from the front line a while ago…

His expression changed:

“No! It’s that cave spider!”

I have a civil service exam tomorrow, wish me happiness…

I will update early today, I’m going to bed early, good night everyone.

ps1: I don’t know what time I will go home tomorrow night, the update may not be timely, let me know in advance. Sorry.

ps2: Don’t worry about the progress of this book, I have followed the outline, the most vulnerable part has passed, and it will not collapse later, don’t worry, it’s stable!

ps3: Forget about teaching me to write a book, I have fully realized that I can’t be influenced by readers. I have written more than one million words, and the best data is written according to my own ideas. Every time I am influenced by them, the rhythm of the plot will be problematic. For example, the half-elf Oros section… According to my plan, I would write the plot tension more fully and the sense of substitution is stronger, but many people said that I was not good at it at that time, so I accelerated the rhythm, which eventually led to insufficient foreshadowing.

PS4: Of course, I must have made mistakes and omissions, and there are many, many problems. I welcome everyone to point out my problems and will improve them.

ps5: I am not afraid of criticism, but you have to have a reason, at least let me know where I went wrong, so that I can correct it in the future. Forget about those who say “this book is extremely toxic” or “the female version is gone”. (Of course, for emotional reasons, I will probably ignore and delete the intern title. I understand intern book friends, after all, I also became a full-time employee from an intern, but reading books quietly is one thing, and coming to Qidian to criticize is another)
