Chapter 312: Four Divine Sites (1/2)
”That’s right, the Four Divine Sites!”
Gui Guzi smiled a little before saying. ”Basically, Four Divine Sites will appear within the borders of Sky City, and the players will compete for ownership of them. Whoever gets them will obtain a sizable reward!
”Oh?” Interested, I smiled. ”Give me the details, Little Gui. What exactly are these divine sites?”
”Mn!”
Gui Guzi cleared his throat for a second before starting, ”The Four Divine Sites are the War Holy Temple, the Pegasus Spring, the Dragon Blood Fortress and the Giant Rock Cave. These four NPC-owned maps will randomly appear on Sky City’s map, and every map will be protected by a certain number of NPC mobs. To take control of a divine site, the mobs must be killed, and the territory must be held for 60 minutes. Whichever guild succeeds will obtain a powerful buff for an entire month!”
”Got it!” I nodded. ”Now tell me about the details of the buff!”
”War Holy Temple gives 10% attack power, Pegasus Spring gives 10% attack speed and 5% movement speed, Dragon Blood Fortress gives 10% max HP and Giant Rock Cave gives 10% Defense!”
”Hmm…”
I thought for a moment before smiling. ”War Holy Temple and Pegasus Spring are clearly the best of the four options. They will be the divine sites most players fight for. Little Gui, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls will be targeting War Holy Temple, so you should meet up with Xu Yang and Thirteen to prepare in advance.”
”Got it! I’m going to bed now. The Four Divine Sites will only appear at noon the day after tomorrow, so we have plenty of time to prepare still!”
”Okay, go get your beauty sleep. You’ve been staying up late again, haven’t you?”
”Hahaha, that’s true. Bye bye, boss!”
”Mn.”
……
I hung up the call and summarized what I heard from Gui Guzi to He Yi and Murong Mingyue. The leader and vice leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls definitely had the right to know about this.
He Yi smiled slightly after hearing my explanation. ”Eternal Moon Corporation is as shrewd as before, I see. This is the kind of interesting event everyone would like to partake in. A month-long buff, huh. This means whichever guild controls the divine sites will have an advantage in the upcoming wars for guild territories!”
”That’s right!”
I expressed my full agreement. ”The first guild territory of Sky City is sure to appear in a month’s time, and this 10% attack power buff is perfect for that. If Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls can conquer War Holy Temple or Pegasus Spring, then we’ll gain a powerful upper hand over our competitors.”
Murong Mingyue took a sip of Wanglaoji before saying, ”But why target only one divine site? Let’s take over Pegasus Spring as well after we occupy War Holy Temple…”
He Yi asked, ”So, how exactly do we occupy a divine site?”
”I don’t know either. We can read the details on the official website after we return home.”
”Mn.”
A few minutes later, the first dish we ordered was served, and right after that, the three servings of Yangzhou fried rice we had ordered. I was getting hungry anyway since I only had hotpot with Beiming Xue earlier, so I stuffed my face with street food in no time.
He Yi and Murong Mingyue felt less intoxicated after the meal. They still swayed a little on their feet, but that was all.
It was almost 3 am in the morning by the time we returned to the workshop. The two girls went to wash themselves, while I fell on my bed with a plop. Tonight’s events had nearly worn me out completely: First, Lin Xiao had sought me out and attempted to persuade me to become his daughter’s general. Then, I sought out Lin Yixin and heard about her mother. After that, I had to rescue He Yi and Murong Mingyue from a hotel after an asshole had tried to get them completely drunk. Thank goodness they were smart enough to hide in the female restroom before things spiraled completely out of control, or god knows what that Wang Dongliang would do to them, that motherfucker. It didn’t take a genius to figure out why anyone would try to get the two belles drunk!
……
By the time I woke up, it was already twelve in the afternoon. I heard the girls chatting to each other outside my door—
”Has Lu Chen woken up yet, Eve?”
”No, why?”
”I’m feeling a bit of headache, and I was hoping he could massage my head for me…”
”...”
The last vestiges of my sleepiness were blown away just like that. I supposed I should’ve expected Murong Mingyue to return to her usual self after a night of rest. It was a shame though, because I liked the drunken, quiet and bashful version of her a lot. It even reminded me of the stereotypical busty female priest who was both cute and a pushover. But this version? I would sooner be seen dead than right next to her. Only a complete idiot would even think to tease the invincible woman she was now.
After I washed myself and walked to the living hall, I saw that the table was already filled with dishes. They were all takeouts from the hotel, and a delicious smell was pervading the air. It was to the point where I nearly bit my tongue while I was drinking some water.
”Where’s Eve?” I asked.
Murong Mingyue replied while carrying a couple sets of chopsticks, ”Don’t know. She was like a bomb earlier. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but you better watch what you say when she shows up later…”
”...”
A few seconds later, He Yi emerged from her room. She was as angry as Murong Mingyue had suggested.
”What’s wrong?” I asked.
