of revenge. Hearing the regional announcement coming from the air, he cursed inwardly: "Damn it! If it weren't for you killing me twice and dropping two levels, the first person in Zone 886 to reach l...Zhang Yi knew very well that his talent, [God-Tier Enhancement], was most advantageous in the early stages because other players wouldn't usually spend too many enhancement stones on low-level equipment.
But in the mid-to-late game, as equipment became standardized and the rate of elimination slowed down, while strengthening to level 25 was still difficult, it was relatively easy for general players to enhance a full set of equipment to level 20. At that time, Zhang Yi's difference from other players lay in the few extra levels of enhancement and perhaps a slight advantage in talents. He could no longer be nearly invincible like he was now.
Therefore, Zhang Yi must leverage this advantage to maximize his strength in the early stage, widening the gap between himself and other players. He needs to amplify his advantage to a point where they are unable to catch up even in the later stages of the game.
Looking at the time, I realize it's already 11:50 PM. There are only ten minutes left until the end of this week.
That is to say, in ten minutes, the world of Tianqi will usher in a new chapter, issuing new survival missions to all players. At the same time, players who have not yet reached the safe zone will be eliminated.
With ten minutes left, Zhang Yi, whose backpack was almost out of potions, went to the apothecary.
When other players wouldn't even spend 2 potions of red, Zhang Yi, who obtained 50 silver coins through hidden quests and two-star treasure chests, generously spent 10 silver coins to buy 100 bottles of level 3 red potions that restored 300 health points each. He also spent 2 silver coins to buy 40 bottles of level 2 blue potions that restored 40 energy points each.
After replenishing, the time froze at midnight.
"Greetings, esteemed players! A new week has begun. This week's survival task has been released. Players can view it in the task interface and complete it within this week according to the requirements. Otherwise, you will face the penalty of death!"
Here's a new week, congratulations to all players for getting the reward resurrection opportunity!! Have fun playing! Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
As the server-wide announcement concluded, countless players outdoors who hadn't completed last week's survival task "Finding a Safe Zone" were suddenly struck by purple lightning and vanished as white light.
However, their deaths did not attract much attention from the players.
Open the task interface and check for this week's first survival mission.
This week's survival mission: Extreme Hunt (Normal Difficulty)
Background: A safe zone can temporarily guarantee your safety, but to survive in this world, you must complete survival tasks according to the rules.
Task Description: You need to accumulate killing 1000 monsters with a level higher than your own within this week (Progress 0/1000)
Remaining time for the task: 7 days.
Mission Reward: Resurrection Chance 1
Failure punishment: Death (if there is a chance of resurrection, death can be commuted).
Because today is the first day of the server opening, even though it's already early morning, you can see that Hope Town's streets are still bustling like daytime. Countless players come and go. Some take advantage of the 0:00 task refresh to finally get their tasks and happily team up with other players to go out and do them. Others just returned from completing tasks in the wild and are preparing to submit them.
Everything was normal, and no one had detected the crisis yet.
Zhang Yi then looked at the "Exit" option in the bottom right corner of the main interface. It had been gray since he first entered the game.
For Zhang Yi, who knew the direction of the future, he didn't think much about it.
The next task is to continue leveling up and reach level 10 as soon as possible to complete the job transfer and get the achievement.
Thus, Zhang Yi relied on his memory to arrive at the blacksmith's shop in the town. At the blacksmith's NPC boss, he received a quest to collect 100 wolf skins.
【Collect Wolf Skin】(Ordinary Task):
Task difficulty coefficient: 50
Description: With the outbreak of the apocalypse, countless bio-monsters and alien creatures are eyeing human settlements, hoping to one day break in and devour all the humans inside. As the blacksmith of Hope Town, Ilr bears a heavy responsibility. He needs to forge powerful armor and weapons for the guards every day, enabling them to defend their homeland. However, forging these equipment requires a large amount of materials. Please follow the map guidance to the 【Dark Forest】, hunt down the demonized wolves inside, collect their wolf pelts, and deliver them to Ilr.
Mission progress: 0/100 (Wolf Skin)
Task Rewards: Experience Points 2000, Copper Coins 250, Level 1 Enhancement Stone 15, Random Equipment 1, Human Reputation 30
Time remaining: 1 day
You're right, Zhang Yi completed a hidden quest called "Guardian". The NPC he saved, Il, is actually the blacksmith's owner!
It is said that Il is the top blacksmith in Hope Town. Even though he lost a hand, it doesn't affect him continuing to work in the blacksmithing industry.
Therefore, Zhang Yi once again received a new mission on his person.
On the surface, this is just an ordinary task, at most the difficulty coefficient is 30 points higher than Zhang Yi's previous quest "Revenge of the Father." There's nothing special about it otherwise.
Because the quest had no hints, ordinary players encountering this task would definitely just honestly go and kill the dire wolves, skin 100 wolf hides, and submit them to complete the quest. However, Zhang Yi knew a special thing about this quest: it could be submitted multiple times!
This was also an opportunity Zhang Yi learned about from another player in the same safe zone in his previous life. He remembered that this mission could be submitted repeatedly 10 times. Besides the normal reward for the first time, the rewards for the next 9 submissions were lower than the first. However, if a player could cumulatively submit this mission 10 times, they could obtain an ultimate prize!
In his previous life, Zhang Yi didn't hear about this secret until he reached level 10. This caused him to miss the opportunity because his level was too high, and he was no longer eligible to take on the task.
I chose this task because Zhang Yi is too lazy to keep running back and forth. The tasks keep changing, it's too much hassle. This task allows Zhang Yi to focus on farming in the 【Dark Forest】 map for a day or two. With the quest reward plus the monster drops, by the time the quest is finished, he should be around level 10 and able to directly transfer jobs.
And by completing this task, Zhang Yi's survival mission [Extreme Hunt] can also be accomplished at the same time, a win-win situation.
After receiving his mission, Zhang Yi left the bustling town of Hope.
Near the Reviving Spring of Hope Town, a young master in shorts stood there, looking rather shabby but decent enough, puffing out his chest with an air of arrogance. He stayed put until several players with IDs prefixed with "King" rushed over from afar.
"Team... Captain, are you alright" Looking at the red-shorts-wearing Glory of Kings, King's Return, who was trying hard to hold back a smile, asked with concern.
“Damn it!” Yi Nuo smashed a hammer and killed “Good Yarn” instantly, dropping his level from 3 to 2. He even dropped Yi Nuo’s15 pants in the process. The King of Glory, enraged, kicked the triumphant player returning to the game: "Take off your pants and give them to me, then tell your team members to stop using the enhancement stones they get from killing monsters. Keep them all for me, 1 stone for 1000 gold coins! Tomorrow morning before I go offline, I want you to pay me with a working card! Also, any high-level equipment costs at least 10,000 starting!" After getting good equipment, keep it all for me!”
The King’s return was taken aback: “Ah… ”
"Damn you!" King Glory kicked King Return again: "Take your pants off and spread the word as I say!"
"If you break your word, I'll kill you! And then, I'll make sure you can't survive in the entire 8th District!" previous life; they were a hundred-person squad that entered the dungeon, and in the end, no more than ten people survived before they barely managed to clear it!And Zhang Yi doesn't intend to share...
