Chapter 45 - Ch 177-180

Chapter 177: The Terrifying Li Jue!

Hearing Li Jue's words, Wen Yu also stopped what he was doing.

"What's wrong? Why not kill him? Are you keeping him for the New Year?"

Ignoring Wen Yu, Li Jue deactivated [Trace Amount].

He saved the previous recording, started a new one, and signaled for Wen Yu to move forward.

Wen Yu followed, completely confused.

The two walked to a spot not far from the Demon Race City Lord.

Seeing Wen Yu approach, the Demon Race City Lord's entire body began to tremble.

He sensed that his death was imminent.

But Li Jue clearly had no intention of attacking, and gibberish spilled from his mouth.

Wen Yu was stunned, and the Demon Race in the distance was also stunned.

"..."

"Damn it, you even learned to speak it!"

...

Wen Yu turned to look at the Demon Race and saw that the Demon Race City Lord had already knelt and was kowtowing incessantly to Li Jue.

And in Li Jue's subsequent recording, it was all dialogue between Li Jue and the Demon Race, along with a bewildered Wen Yu standing to the side.

A long Time passed. It was rare to encounter such a cowardly Demon Race, and Wen Yu knew this was the best opportunity to extract intelligence from the Demon Race.

Wen Yu was not in a hurry and just leaned against a nearby pillar to wait.

At first, he listened carefully, wanting to see what they were saying.

Later, realizing he really couldn't understand, a disinterested Wen Yu began to space out on the side.

From Time to Time, he would clear out the Demon Race returning to the city from outside.

After more than an hour had passed, Li Jue finally nodded to Wen Yu, signaling that it was okay to kill him.

Under the Demon Race's terrified gaze, Wen Yu took him out with a single Magic Missile.

From his expression, Wen Yu deduced that Li Jue had most likely tricked him by saying he was willing to let him go back.

"What did he say?" Wen Yu's curiosity had reached its peak; if he didn't get an answer soon, he would go crazy.

"He confessed some information about the Demon Race world, as well as the overall regional structure of the Demon Race world."

"The Demon Race planet is generally smaller than our Blue Star."

"In his words, the entire Demon Race planet has only their race, and the entire planet is controlled by a terrifying Demon Race called the [Great Demon God]."

"Under his command are three Demon Kings, one of whom is called the [Broad-Eyed Heavenly Demon King], and I didn't catch the other two."

"He is a squad leader under one of the Demon Kings, and there are countless squad leaders like them among the Demon Race."

"Every Time the Demon Race invades, a squad is responsible for one city."

"Stronger squads are responsible for high-level main cities, while weaker squads are responsible for low-level main cities."

Hearing Li Jue's words, Wen Yu replied, "I know about the Great Demon God. He is a Level 100 dungeon BOSS. Even a weakened version of the Great Demon God is terrifyingly strong."

"The three Demon Kings under his command are Level 90 dungeon BOSSes: the [Broad-Eyed Heavenly Demon King], the [Many-Armed Heavenly Demon King], and the [Evil Sin Heavenly Demon King]."

"If that's what he says, then the Demon Race must be ruled by these four people? There are no other powerful Demon Races?"

Li Jue nodded. "That should be what he meant."

In the Time that followed, as the two traveled, Li Jue shared the intelligence he had extracted with Wen Yu.

Of course, Li Jue didn't understand much of it himself.

However, since he had already recorded it, they could just send it to Sharp Blade later and analyze it slowly.

"You are truly terrifying, Li Jue. I didn't expect that not only could you understand it, but you even taught yourself the Demon Race Language!"

Li Jue shook his head.

"There are certainly others in the country who can understand the Demon Race Language, but I'm the only one who currently has the opportunity to communicate with the Demon Race."

As they walked, the two cleared out the remaining Demon Race remnants.

From low-level 30s to high-level 90s, all the Demon Race members only had one outcome in front of Wen Yu: being instantly killed.

However, the main city was too large, and it took a very long Time to completely clear the dungeon.

It took another full three hours before the rift was finally sealed.

"Ding!~"

"Successfully sealed [Heavenly King City Rift]!"

"Obtained Reputation +20000"

Hearing the system prompt, Wen Yu knew it was secure.

The two decisively chose to exit the dungeon.

"Ding!~"

"Successfully cleared the Heavenly King City Demon Race, laying a solid foundation for future reconstruction!"

"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment potential selection card] * 1"

"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment materialization card] * 2"

"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment potential attachment card] * 20"

"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment potential elimination card] * 20"

"Congratulations on obtaining Gold Coins * 4000000"

"Thank you for your contribution to the human race!"

...

There were two [seal stone]s, and Wen Yu and Li Jue each used one.

Li Jue's rewards were exactly the same as Wen Yu's.

He traded the [equipment materialization card] to Li Jue, and Li Jue also traded the [equipment potential selection card] to Wen Yu.

Equipment potential is too expensive; between the two, they undoubtedly had to prioritize ensuring the quality of Wen Yu's equipment to better handle the future situation.

The two chose to return to the city; today, Wen Yu could craft [spatial equipment] again.

Fortunately, there were no buyers right now, so Wen Yu directly chose a [legendary] accessory and crafted a piece of [spatial equipment] for Li Jue.

After all, it was his own alt account, so it needed some flair.

After organizing everything, Li Jue logged off to post the video and contact Sharp Blade.

Regarding the current videos, Wen Yu had discussed it with Li Jue; there was no need to charge for these videos.

Especially the videos about the Demon Race; letting everyone watch them for free so they could understand more would be beneficial for the future.

Wen Yu received the system prompt that the hidden quest was complete and headed toward the Moonlight City City Lord's Mansion.

He informed Huo Qi about the re-sealing of the Heavenly King City rift.

Wen Yu could clearly feel Huo Qi's excitement.

"This person's heart is still in Heavenly King City."

The reward for Wen Yu completing the quest was not very good.

A single [equipment materialization card] was the entire reward for this dungeon trip.

However, Wen Yu didn't mind; the [will of the planet] had provided Wen Yu with a full four [equipment potential selection card]s.

This result was already well worth the effort of the day.

"Ding!~"

"Regional Announcement: The war application against the [East India Region] initiated by the Combat Power Ranking leader [Time] has received approval from over 500 million people! War countdown: 13 hours and 34 minutes!"

"Regional players can all go to the [War Administrator] in each city to sign up before 9 AM tomorrow morning."

...

"?"

"It only just reached over 500 million approvals now? Although today isn't the weekend, it shouldn't have taken until nearly 8 PM to reach 500 million approvals."

Wen Yu had been in the dungeon the whole Time and had almost forgotten about the [National War].

"It seems the Indians still can't compare to the [little japanese]. Whenever the [little japanese] are mentioned, everyone is like they've been injected with adrenaline."

It was already very late, and Wen Yu couldn't arrange to do anything else today.

He spent the remaining 4 hours clearing the rest of the dungeon.

The level increase was secondary; with the enhancement from 15,000 Level 100 Demon Race members every day, Wen Yu's [space mage set] had finally reached Immortal-grade quality.

Reaching God-grade was now just one step away!

However, seeing the number of monsters required for the upgrade, Wen Yu was speechless.

"Need to kill 200,000 monsters with a level not lower than my own..."

"How long will I have to kill for this..."

 

***

Chapter 178: The God of Magic Three-Piece Set!

October 19, 2052...

To focus on farming points in today's National War, Wen Yu chose to log off after finishing the dungeon last night.

Checking his level, he had already reached level 98 (14,199,242 / 18,912,000).

"The most important thing right now is still getting the artifacts."

Looking at his friends list, everyone was already online, so Wen Yu sent a message to Lin Sirong.

"Brother Rong, after I launch this National War, I probably won't have the authority to initiate another one."

"What level is your guild now? It seems like every level 5 guild has the right to initiate a National War, right?"

Before long, Lin Sirong's reply came through.

"It should still be a while. Our Sharp Blade only just reached a level 4 guild a few days ago. Dynasty and Magic Fantasy have also reached level 4."

"However, looking at the guild's upgrade progress, it will take at least 10 more days to reach a level 5 guild."

Ten-plus days, that was fine; Wen Yu could afford to wait.

Having seen the super attributes provided by the artifacts and the massive amount of points the National War could provide, Wen Yu had decided to find a way to complete the set of Mage artifacts.

...

"Ding! ~"

"The war initiated by the [Huaxia Region] against the [East India Region] will begin in 10 minutes! Please prepare, participants!"

"Note: During the National War, equipment will not drop upon death, but items in the backpack will drop normally!"

"Note: This National War will take place between the [Huaxia Region] Second-Tier Main City [Moonlight City] and the [East India Region] Second-Tier Main City [Kolkata City]."

"Ding! ~"

"Region Announcement: Temporary access to [Moonlight City] is now enabled. All players under level 30 can also travel to Moonlight City for free via the teleportation array."

"Note: The war duration is 6 hours."

Hearing the familiar system prompt, Wen Yu did not hesitate and entered the battlefield immediately.

Looking up, he was in the familiar underground palace. Behind him, the teleportation array belonging to Moonlight City was glowing brightly.

Watching the figures appearing one by one around him, Wen Yu secretly checked his own equipment.

"God bless, let me farm another 1 million points this Time. If I materialize the artifacts in reality, I can have a three-piece set..."

Before the war started, Lin Sirong also told everyone how to fight this National War.

It was the same as before: hit as hard as you can, and loot as much equipment as you can.

The only requirement was that they must play for the full 6 hours!

Wen Yu naturally had no objections; how many points could he farm in 6 hours?

...

The war had started, and for Wen Yu, there was nothing simpler than killing enemies.

As the world's most populous country, the Indian players didn't look like a great power at all.

The players had low levels, and their tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong was fully on display.

After killing for less than an hour, Wen Yu discovered something desperate.

The opposing players were being killed off in waves, as if they really died after being killed.

The Indian teams coming to block the Huaxia army were visibly dwindling.

"Damn! You guys have no guts!"

"Keep charging! Defend your main city!"

In less than 2 hours, the Huaxia army had pushed to the front of the teleportation array in [Kolkata City].

Everyone was speechless, obviously not expecting the other side to be this cowardly.

"Let's go in directly and see how many people are defending."

"Let's kill our way in. If they are really that timid, we might as well break the city in two moves."

After Lin Sirong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the teleportation array.

Wen Yu naturally followed closely behind.

But when everyone really stepped onto the territory of [Kolkata City], they found that the number of defending personnel was even less than the little japanese.

"..."

"This country is finished."

— — — — — —

In the end, plans couldn't keep up with changes. By the fourth hour of the National War, Wen Yu and the others had killed [Kolkata City] to the point where almost no one dared to fight.

Players from other cities didn't provide support, and the players bound to [Kolkata City] themselves chose to log off one after another.

In the end, it was Wen Yu who killed the City Lord and destroyed the City Lord's Mansion, bringing this National War to an end.

"Ding! ~"

"The [East India Region] Second-Tier Main City [Kolkata City] has been captured by the [Huaxia Region], and the entire city has been wiped out! The system has initiated forced protection! Players belonging to Kolkata City will be forced to log out in 10 seconds! After 24 hours, they will be randomly teleported to other Second-Tier Main Cities! Please be prepared!"

"Ding! ~"

"Region Announcement: The National War has ended. Players will be teleported back to their respective main cities in 10 seconds! Congratulations to the [Huaxia Region] for successfully defeating the [East India Region] and winning this National War! You can redeem generous rewards at the [Integral Exchange Officer]!"

The National War ended, and Wen Yu returned to Moon City immediately.

Arriving at the Integral Exchange Officer, Wen Yu's heart was full of anticipation.

And when Wen Yu actually checked his points, the anticipation finally turned into a pleasant surprise.

He had nearly 200,000 points remaining from before, and adding the points from this National War, it was exactly 1 million!

1,010,294!

Checking the remaining set pieces, Wen Yu chose to redeem the [god of magic bracelet] for his third artifact accessory!

[god of magic bracelet] (Artifact)

Level: 120

Magic Attack + 50000

Intelligence + 2000

Agility + 2000

Luck + 5

After redeeming the equipment, Wen Yu took out an [equipment potential selection card].

He decisively chose to use it.

And Wen Yu finally saw all the potentials that could appear.

[Anger], [Love], [Depression], [Joy], [Disappointment], [Friendship], [Sadness], [Affection] with a 10% trigger probability.

And the percentages of various attributes also appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.

There even appeared a 3% Ignore Defense rate and 3% Skill Cooldown Reduction among the attributes.

These were attributes Wen Yu had never encountered in nearly a thousand previous equipment potential attachments.

"It seems these two attributes are the top-tier attributes determined by the system."

However, Wen Yu didn't need them and decisively chose to attach all three potential slots as 6% Intelligence attribute.

He immediately materialized the equipment!

Taking off his helmet, Wen Yu checked his attributes immediately!

[Wen Yu] (Dominating the World)

Health Points: 53390+33333

Magic Points: 53390+33333

Physical Attack: 718+3333

Magic Attack: 2047012+3333

Agility: 14+2333

Constitution: 404+4633 + 302

Critical Hit Rate: 56%

Critical Damage: 43%

"Good! Very good!"

Checking his four materialized pieces of equipment again.

[ring of destiny]

Description: "A space ring created by the Space Mage [Time], containing a 20 * 20 * 3 meter space, capable of storing all inanimate objects."

Magic Attack + 3000

God of Magic Set Effect (3 / 5):

Seeing the set effect, Wen Yu gasped.

"Only a three-piece set, and it already has four attributes!"

"How terrifying will it be once I get the five-piece set!"

This strengthened Wen Yu's determination to get the five-piece artifact set even more!

"At most, I need three more National Wars! Then I can complete it!"

 

***

Chapter 179: System Upgrade Again!

Putting on the helmet again, Wen Yu's location was still at the [War Administrator].

It took four hours to finish grinding all the dungeons.

Wen Yu's level was already close to level 100.

"I might as well just grind to level 100 today!"

With the large-scale field-clearing skill of Four Plates Harmony, Wen Yu could grind level 99 and level 100 wild monsters simultaneously.

Time flew by, and in just over half an hour, Wen Yu successfully reached level 100!

The expected system update notification didn't appear, but this was within Wen Yu's expectations.

After all, Wen Yu had seen quite a few City Lords who were over level 100.

And they were all still in the third class transfer stage.

"Perhaps this game doesn't have a fourth class advancement at all."

This was only Wen Yu's guess; after all, the level requirement for divine equipment was level 120.

Wen Yu guessed that level 120 might be the level cap for [After Tomorrow].

There were three [equipment potential selection cards] left in his bag, and he saved two of them for the divine equipment he would materialize in the future.

Holding the remaining card in his hand, Wen Yu turned his gaze to his space mage set.

Wen Yu ultimately chose to make major modifications to the potential of the [space staff].

Among the space staff's own potentials, only Constitution was increased by 3%, while the remaining two potential entries were both [Anger].

By now, a 3% increase to all attributes didn't have much effect on Wen Yu.

Not to mention the duration was only 10 seconds.

He changed all the potentials of the space staff to Intelligence +6%!

Then he looked at the [space belt], which currently had the worst potential on his person.

He had once again accumulated over 300 [equipment potential attachment cards].

Wen Yu decisively chose to use them.

However, it was clear that his luck wasn't good enough this time.

After using up all 300+ equipment potential attachment cards and spending nearly 100 million gold coins, he only managed to change the [space belt]'s potential to:

Intelligence +6% Intelligence +6% Intelligence +3%

Although the equipment potential rating was already S-rank, as equipment Wen Yu would materialize in the future, this potential was clearly not enough to satisfy him.

"I'll keep hoarding them."

——————

October 20, 2052...

Killing rabbits, grinding dungeons, and building teleportation arrays.

Today, the cooldown for Wen Yu's teleportation array ended.

Wen Yu chose West Xinjiang as the placement location for this teleportation array.

The westernmost part of China has always been a holy land for the Chan Sect.

It has an extremely profound history in terms of culture and humanity.

This place is surrounded by ice and snow year-round, and the weather is extremely cold.

Wen Yu, who had just arrived at the West Xinjiang Military Region, almost froze to death.

But Wen Yu also made a pleasant discovery: the Magic Shield could actually effectively withstand the severe cold!

"It's not cold!"

...

It's worth mentioning that Li Jue found another hidden dungeon today, also with an immortal-rank boss.

He also obtained another targeted hidden class change scroll.

The class name was [Warlock], a hidden mage class.

He put it back in his bag to gather dust; when he ran low on gold in the future, he would hold an auction to sell them all together.

However, Wen Yu was also curious; clearly, he was already in a First-Tier Main City, so why couldn't he find any traces of god-rank bosses, whether in the wild or in hidden dungeons?

He recalled his previous conversation with Chen Ping again.

"It's said there's a Super Main City above the First-Tier Main Cities. Whether that's true, only the City Lords of the First-Tier Main Cities know."

"Chen Ping told me this back then, and looking at it now, this news is likely true."

However, Wen Yu didn't plan to get to the bottom of it; once he reached level 105 and could enter level 110 dungeons, everything would become clear.

Level 90 yields immortal-rank equipment, level 100 yields immortal-rank accessories, and by extension, level 110 should yield god-rank equipment!

October 21, 2052...

Killing rabbits, grinding dungeons, and crafting spatial equipment.

Wen Yu had found a market for today's spatial equipment early on.

The buyer was a small guild that had once attended the auction held by him and Li Jue.

That small guild back then had now grown into a large guild with hundreds of thousands of members.

The guild's name was [Fragrance of Books].

The guild's vice leader, [Shuxiang-Yulan], had won twice during the auction's lucky draw, which once made Wen Yu think she had maxed-out luck.

However, during this transaction with the Fragrance of Books family, Wen Yu changed his mind.

"Brother Yu, make it a bit cheaper. Their guild is just starting out and doesn't have much money..."

"..."

Sure enough, you, Li Jue, have your eye on that girl!

There must have been some behind-the-scenes manipulation at the last auction!

You guy who values women over friends, but of course, I have to give my buddy some face.

Ultimately, for the price of 6,000 skill upgrade cards, Wen Yu sold a legendary-quality spatial necklace to the Fragrance of Books guild.

In fact, Wen Yu had always sold spatial equipment at very low prices.

It was impossible to even calculate how many skill upgrade cards a large guild could produce in a day.

And Wen Yu's charge was only around 10,000 cards, which was actually not much different from giving it away for free.

...

Having hoarded over 20,000 skill upgrade cards, Wen Yu raised his skill levels once again.

This time, Wen Yu really steeled his heart.

Ignoring all other skills, he raised [Omen of Destruction] from legendary to god-rank in one go!

Making his ultimate move Wen Yu's first third class transfer skill to reach god-rank!

[Omen of Destruction] (God-rank) (Cannot be upgraded)

Effect: Summons a spatial meteorite to smash into the ground. At the moment of impact, it deals 2,000% magic damage to all enemy units within a 4,000x4,000 meter area. The aura of destruction sweeps across the field, summoning an indefinite number of wormholes in the area, instantly dealing 6 instances of shattering damage to all enemy units within the range of the cracks. Each of the 6 instances deals 400% magic damage. Targets with less than 20% total HP at the end of the attack will be sucked away by the wormholes.

Mana Cost: 2,000

Cooldown: 60 minutes (Unaffected by skill cooldown reduction)

Compared to the legendary version, and even the immortal-rank version, the god-rank [Omen of Destruction] has a massive improvement.

Upon reaching god-rank, [Omen of Destruction] seemed to have undergone a complete sublimation; the range instantly expanded from 2,000x2,000 meters to 4,000x4,000 meters!

And this change occurred in the single instant it went from immortal-rank to god-rank!

"Activating Space Blessing, an 8,000x8,000 meter range..."

"I wonder how many Space Wormholes will be created then... It's simply unimaginable."

October 22, 2052...

Killing rabbits, grinding dungeons.

October 23, 2052...

Building teleportation arrays.

This morning, Wen Yu failed to log in, so he immediately called Li Jue to ask about the situation.

The system is updating! It will last for a full 24 hours!

When Wen Yu reached level 100, the system didn't update.

But when 500 million Chinese players reached level 70, the system received an update!

...

"What kind of things will be updated this time? I'm really looking forward to it..."

Chapter 180: Simulated War

October 24, 2052...

At 8:00 AM, Wen Yu heard the familiar system notification as soon as he logged in.

"Ding!~"

"Welcome back to [After Tomorrow], player [Time]! It is a pleasure to see you again!"

"The system upgrade has been completed. The details of this upgrade are as follows:

The system will officially begin the [Simulated War] event on October 26 at 10:00 AM. All players are eligible to participate!"

"Note: This event will attempt to replicate the true combat power of the Demon Race as closely as possible! Please take it seriously."

"Note: The spawn locations of the Demon Race are unknown. Please be prepared!"

"..."

To think only this one update was made...

A single event update took a full 24 hours.

Wen Yu roughly calculated the Time; October 26 was the day after tomorrow.

It happened to be the weekend. It seemed the "will of the planet" had carefully considered the start Time of the event...

"Simulated War... it seems the war really is imminent."

"The will of the planet is already issuing a final ultimatum to humanity."

"In a little over two months at most, the Demon Race will officially enter Blue Star."

"The strength of the players in the game right now shouldn't be much weaker than the strength of humanity on Blue Star by then."

"I'm afraid that any nation that cannot survive this Simulated War will have a minimal chance of surviving when the Demon Race officially invades."

However, Wen Yu still held great hope for China regarding the upcoming Simulated War.

After three National Wars, the average strength of Chinese players should be far superior to that of other countries.

If even China couldn't withstand this Simulated War, then the destruction of the world would be just around the corner.

Today's crafted Spatial Bracelet was taken by [War God - Invincible in War].

It wasn't sold for skill upgrade cards, but for a full 50 million gold coins. Wen Yu had truly fleeced the War God Guild.

Wen Yu could now obtain a total of 22 million experience points from dungeons every day.

After spending a few hours finishing all the dungeons, Wen Yu's level had reached 104 (8,152,000/20,712,000).

"I can run the new Level 110 dungeons tomorrow. I already defeated the Demon Race's strongest Great Demon God at Level 100. I wonder what the next two dungeons will be like..."

Having finished all the dungeons, Wen Yu didn't plan on doing anything else today.

He focused entirely on farming rabbits to prepare for the Simulated War on the 26th.

Around 6:00 PM, Wen Yu received a call from Lin Sirong.

And what Lin Sirong said truly took Wen Yu by surprise.

"Wen Yu, relying on you alone is not enough to stop the Demon Race invasion."

"Do not participate in this Simulated War. Let us see the true strength of the entire population at this stage."

"When the war begins, just find a Tier 3 Main City and hold it."

"I believe that with your strength, holding a Tier 3 Main City will definitely not be a problem."

"Even if the First and Second-Tier Main Cities are destroyed, do not come to reinforce them."

"We need to see the true strength of our Chinese players so that we can make predictions in advance."

"We need to know what kind of methods we should use to resist when the Demon Race actually descends."

"..."

"It doesn't matter even if the main cities are destroyed?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter. At worst, we'll concentrate all our forces to guard a single main city."

"But if you choose to participate, I'm afraid the war will immediately take a turn for the better."

"But as you know, you alone are not enough to ensure China's safety during the future Demon Race invasion..."

Wen Yu agreed, feeling Lin Sirong's well-intentioned efforts.

Wen Yu's existence had pulled the strength of all Chinese players to an artificially high level.

Lin Sirong wanted to break this illusion and see the reality.

...

Since he had already logged off, Wen Yu was in no hurry to log back in immediately.

The National News Broadcast would start in half an hour. Wen Yu guessed that, barring any accidents, today's broadcast would once again be dominated by Lin Sirong...

While eating the meal prepared by Aunt Huang, Wen Yu also silently browsed the forums.

At this moment, the forums were already flooded with discussions about the Simulated War.

The very first piece of news was posted by Sharp Blade.

"National Holiday Notice for the 26th"

Wen Yu clicked in to check it out.

It strictly mandated that all units and companies must take the day off, except for hospitals and other special locations.

People across the country were to prepare their "rations" in advance, and everyone capable of participating was required to join this Simulated War.

Browsing further down, Sharp Blade also released the arrangements and plans for this Simulated War.

Sharp Blade would gather the strength of the entire guild to garrison Sun City.

Magic Fantasy and Dynasty, the two largest guilds in the game besides the National Team, would garrison Moon City.

Sunshine City would be jointly defended by Shura and the couple, Dragon Lord and Snake Granny.

The defense of Moonlight City was taken up by Ye Qian and Chen Cheng.

When facing a matter of such importance, the War God Guild finally showed the mettle a major guild should have.

They signed a military pledge, vowing to defend Starlight City to the death. Garrisoning with them were their former enemies, the Fengyun Guild, as well as the rivals Nether and Summer Drinks.

Lin Sirong naturally had his own considerations for such an arrangement. If any guild still harbored grudges or had ulterior motives during this Simulated War...

They would naturally cease to exist after this Simulated War, and they surely knew that themselves.

Finally, all unnamed guilds would jointly defend Human King City.

solo players were to adapt to the situation on their own.

Hearing Lin Sirong's arrangements, Wen Yu knew that since the nature of this Simulated War was still unclear, Lin Sirong was prepared to abandon all the Tier 3 Main Cities.

Leaving Wen Yu alone to guard a Tier 3 Main City was to preserve a "root" for the Chinese players!

They couldn't be without Tier 3 Main Cities; otherwise, players still in the Novice Village or those who hadn't undergone their Second Class Transfer would have nowhere to go.

As long as Wen Yu was there, the root would remain...

"Phew, the pressure on me is just too much."

Wen Yu also watched the National News Broadcast.

As expected, the entire Time was taken up by Lin Sirong.

The content of the National News Broadcast was merely a more detailed explanation of the Simulated War information from the forums.

Time waited for no one. Once the National News Broadcast ended, Wen Yu put on his helmet again and threw himself back into the great task of killing rabbits.

October 25, 2052...

Early this morning, Wen Yu logged online.

He spent over four hours finishing all the dungeons.

Wen Yu's level successfully reached 105 (9,440,000/21,012,000).

"Come on, let me see. Now that the Great Demon God has been defeated, what will the subsequent dungeons be like?"

"A God-grade equipment dungeon... I wonder how high the difficulty will be."

But when Wen Yu actually communicated with the [Dungeon Teleporter]...

He discovered that the last dungeon he could select was still [Great Demon God].

...

"What does this mean? Are there no more dungeons after Level 100?!"
