MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1356 - Chapter 1356 Chapter 1356 Show-off

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: Show-off Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: Show-off Although Li Yao knew these two goddesses were incredibly shady, he didn’t expect them to be this dark.

Not to mention the various factions, even ordinary forces give credit for merit and killing monsters, but there’s no reward for killing regular ants–normally, at most, killing multiple regular monsters would count for a bit of merit.

But here, killing a boss-level monster only earns you three points, which is utterly ridiculous.

These ants were not so easy to kill, especially since they were all at Warcraft level.

Li Yao returned to his team and announced the instructions on the team channel, leaving everyone looking at each other in disbelief.

“This is just ridiculous,” the Guardian Angel complained helplessly.

“The Dark Elves aren’t afraid of players refusing to play their games?” the Angel Envoy said in disbelief.

“Just look at others to understand; after all, the rewards are so generous. Moreover, they’ve sealed off the area, so there really isn’t much choice,” Li Yao said with a bitter smile. After all, they were fighting in the name of the Main God, but to behave like this was really disgraceful.

Li Yao became even more worried about having obtained the divinity of Ross. Such a stingy god, and yet he had taken such a great advantage–since the other party hadn’t acted on it, there must be a catch if it wasn’t suspicious.

“The Siren frowned and said, “They’re just dangling a carrot on a stick. The rewards are too tempting, and players definitely have their own confidence. But in reality, there’s hardly a chance. The instruction has over sixty items, and each final reward is five hundred. To get a piece of Golden Dress equipment, one must complete six or seven missions to get the final reward. And with so many people in a team, in the end, only one piece will be obtained.”

Pupil swung her little fists, “I’ve never seen such stinginess before. But with so many teams here, it’s impossible for one team to complete so many instructions. Even if the team is strong enough, there just isn’t enough time to carry out so many instructions simultaneously. I still don’t understand why, knowing it’s not possible, these teams are still so aggressive.”

“The Siren explained, “Look at the footnote below; it says that killing other teams will give you their points. It’s clear that they want teams to fight each other. And the most tempting thing isn’t the points, but the treasures in those many chests out in the open. Just think about it–if one side wins, the other side’s belongings will definitely be divided among the victors. These two goddesses are really cunning. They knew it was a trap, but they still made people jump in without thinking.”

The Angel Envoy asked doubtfully, “Fighting each other–since there are no markings to differentiate allies or enemies, it means that killing teams from the same faction can also earn points. Don’t they want to achieve victory? Why would they have such a rule? Aren’t they afraid that infighting will become uncontrollable and lead to failure?”

This time it was Li Yao who explained, “Although we can fight each other, in the beginning, everyone has no points. It’s not just about the same factions; even opposing factions wouldn’t want to fight each other unless there are conflicting instructions that are critical. So, the completion of the mission is virtually impossible. You have to understand, they have never placed the hope of victory in the hands of players and adventurers. They only intend to use them as cannon fodder. The real decision of victory still lies with their own power. As for fighting each other when the points accumulate, by that time, the winners and losers will have been determined. No matter how much they fight, it will no longer affect the overall situation.”

Everyone suddenly realized. The members of Starfire might be powerful in combat, but most were still young and in school. Without Li Yao and the Siren’s explanations, they would never have understood the complexities involved.

“Alright, let’s head to the instruction area,” Li Yao led his team quickly towards the location of the Red Crystal Ants.

To Li Yao, the merits and rewards here were insignificant. His real goal was to gain control of another Ant Queen. If he could achieve that, it would mean he truly possessed a Demon Crystal Vein. After all, the area of Starfire’s second city was too barren.

That place was once the most brutal battlefield of the ancient wars, the God-Fallen Land. The blood of many Demigods stained the earth, especially the Demi-God Wild Boar who had the cursed Divine Blood, was colossal and controlled filthy Laws.

After its death, it contaminated the lands of several maps to a horrifying extent, something even the Druids could hardly hope to repair.

But this land possessed divinity, making it a very good place for both the Worm Tribe and the Red Crystal Ants.

Li Yao’s newly acquired Red Crystal Ant Queen was still somewhat weak, but here, this Ant Queen could form a real mine-scale operation.

While Li Yao and his group were on the move, many areas had already erupted in skirmishes.

In the deep world, the hiding place of the Red Crystal Ants was also a barren expanse, where billions of Red Crystal Ants densely clustered, resembling a red ocean.

There was a downward cave in the rocky walls, which was clearly the actual ant nest.

A number of teams had gathered on the periphery, among them one of four to five hundred people, led by a Paladin dressed in Golden Armor, his body covered in golden light, and a golden Crown on his head, flaunting his style to the extreme.

Next to this large team were two smaller teams, which clearly looked to the large team’s Paladin as their leader.

The flamboyantly dressed Paladin arrogantly said, “It seems that quite a few people have received this directive, pity they ran into me. If you all want to earn merits, I don’t mind, but the Ant Queen and the nest are mine to sweep across heaven and earth and claim.”

“On what basis? Who do you think you are, claiming your sister?” someone shouted from nowhere.

Sweep Across Heaven and Earth glanced coldly at the small teams in the distance and scoffed with a cold laugh, “On what basis? On the basis that I’ve got six hundred men here, who the fuck dares to speak out against me? But, I’m nothing if not generous and rich; anyone who willingly joins my team, regardless of whether or not I manage to kill the Ant Queen and eradicate their nest, I can give each person who joins a Gold Coin.”

A Gold Coin might not be considered a huge sum to players nowadays, but it was still a considerable amount. Instantly, many were tempted, given that an average level 50 player wouldn’t necessarily earn a Gold Coin after a day of grinding monsters, let alone spending less.

Quite a few people joined the small teams around the large one; it seemed easier to them to earn some solid cash rather than attempting the unlikely feat of killing the Ant Queen. The team swelled rapidly, soon exceeding a thousand members.

Fireworks said with a beaming smile, “Don’t know which family’s profligate son this is, to be so wasteful with money.”

Tong Tong snorted coldly, “One look and you can tell he’s a country bumpkin, truly a disgrace to us rich folk.”

The Starfire group was speechless, but Tong Tong indeed had the right to say that–being the future helmsman of a top 500 global corporation, she had every right to call the guy a country bumpkin.

“It seems some people don’t know what’s good for them. Pass down my order, anyone from these small teams who dares to enter the nest, exterminate them on sight,” Sweeping Across Heaven and Earth said with a cold laugh.

“Heh, I wondered who was so arrogant, turns out it’s the young master. I wonder if I am qualified enough to compete.” Along with a female voice, another team of over a thousand had already arrived in full force.

Li Yao’s expression changed–it was actually Edward, who evidently had the same objective as him regarding the Ant Queen, and like him, his aim wasn’t to kill…
