Chapter 231: A New Event Begins (2/2)

After all, there would only ever be a single legendary weapon dropped even if they succeed in slaying a Wild Boss, which greatly reduced the motivation to form parties for taking down Wild Bosses.

Events were different—even though Xi Wei had not organized many events thus far, the Players were well-rewarded in each occasion, which allowed Events to leave a strong impression and be well-received amongst Players.

Though it consumed much divine power, he might actually profit greatly instead—that is, as long as he discovered the origins of the deviant divine power, deciphering its existence and find a way to absorb it by ‘twisting off the head and eat the rest, which contains six times of the First Flame’s power’.

“Events are not indulgence! It’s management!” Xi Wei mumbled to instill some confidence in himself, before pressing the button to assign the event quests.

In the next second, the Players down in the mortal realm received the message from their god.

“Only so few came…”

Angora couldn’t help frowning at the sparse ranks of Players who had arrived beside the Lifestone at the Silver Eagle Castle.

“So unreliable.” Vela had a dark look as well—she didn’t expect that only so few Players would answer Angora’s call.

“We’ve just beaten the devil Nightcry and a little tired,” Edward explained, having just teleported through the Lifestone as well.

Naturally, the tiredness he was referring to was mental exhaustion.

The Players’ stamina regenerates quickly, but they were still mentally human (probably), and extended periods of battle would definitely wear them out.

“Moreover, Nightcry’s special attribute meant many Players have to wait for three days before they could be revived after dying.” Princess Leah added, having arrived as well.

However, the sparkling but intimidating brass knuckles in her dainty hands caught more attention than her words—even Angora couldn’t help sliding curious glances at it.

“That’s right! Gou Dan died, but we can’t even find his corpse!” Joe joined in beside them. “It’s his fault, though—he ran off so far away to shoot Nightcry just to show off his eight-times zooming scope, and his resurrection period was over before the Clerics could reach him…”

From certain perspectives, this might be the darkest hour of Edward’s party: Gou Dan, their most agile scout was dead and awaiting revival, and their reliable Jessica was being held by the elves and unable to come help for now.

All Edward now had was Joe the brute, and the Loli Saintess Eleena who loved to killsteal.

“Huh…” Angora breathed a sigh. “This many Players should be enough to handle the undead at Sotimi. But what about the zombie dragon in the Kristoff mountains…?”

That was when a system notification jingled in everyone’s ears at once.

Ding!
