MMORPG: Martial Gamer
Chapter 1761 1761: Battlefield

Cloaks can also fly in mid-air, but compared to the freedom of movement that Qing Gong skills provide, flying with a cloak is more like being on a wire, with many limitations in combat.

Therefore, for Wang Yu, the flying capability of the cloak is mostly used for escaping. When facing opponents of equal or even greater strength, its practical significance is not very high.

Qing Gong skills, on the other hand, allow Wang Yu to move through the sky as if he were on solid ground, an effect that cloaks simply cannot compare to.

Wang Yu's combat skills are quite comprehensive; the only significant weakness for him is aerial combat. After all, no matter how skilled he becomes in real life martial arts, he cannot fly in the air or transform energy into a horse, right?

Now that he has perfected his Qing Gong skills, the only flaw Wang Yu had is now filled, and he can be said to have no weaknesses.

This trip to the Freedom City has indeed been worthwhile.

"Now that you have your book and the Illusion Demon Crystal, isn't it time you tell me where to find the Dark Demon Frost?"

Just as Wang Yu was admiring his skills, Fearless pressed Old Nine for answers.

"Haha!" Old Nine laughed and said, "Don't the members of the Quan Zhen Sect fight in the battlefield?"

"Battlefield?" Crotch Lord frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

In response to Crotch Lord's question, Old Nine did not answer but continued to speak to himself: "There are rules in every trade; I can only tell you this much."

"You..."

"Alright, Crotch, let's go. Boss Nine has already said enough!"

Just as Crotch Lord was about to say something, Fearless interrupted him, saying, "Clearly, the Dark Demon Frost was obtained in the battlefield."

"Battlefield?" Crotch Lord was a bit surprised and asked, "Wasn't the battlefield only opened yesterday?"

As a witness to the opening of the battlefield, Crotch Lord quickly considered this, but the only thing that made it hard for him to believe was that although the battlefield opened yesterday, today someone was already auctioning items from the battlefield.

Fearless said calmly, "This is 'Rebirth'; one night is enough."

Players in <<Rebirth>> are on the same server; there are hundreds of millions of people online globally, with a large player base, so there are all sorts of talented individuals.

The battlefield is a new gameplay mode in the game; now that it has just opened, many people would definitely want to try it out, and it's not impossible to gather rare materials in one night.

...

After the battlefield opened, every main city unlocked a new building— the battlefield entrance.

After bidding farewell to Old Nine, Wang Yu and the others did not return directly to Twilight City but followed Old Nine's instructions to find the battlefield entrance in the Freedom City.

Similar to the arena, the battlefield also belongs to the competitive mode, but on a relatively larger scale.

The arena usually features small-scale competitions like 1V1, 3V3, or a maximum of 10V10, while the battlefield involves large-scale competitions such as team vs. team, guild vs. guild, and main city vs. main city.

So far, three modes have been unlocked in the battlefield.

The first mode is called "Divine and Demon Canyon." This is the smallest competitive mode in the battlefield, where players are divided into two factions, Light and Dark, based on their respective camps. Each side consists of five players who are matched by strength and teleported into the Divine and Demon Canyon.

Once inside the canyon, everyone returns to level one, and their equipment is cleared.

The Divine and Demon Canyon has three lanes, and players can farm minions and monsters in the lanes and jungle to earn experience points and money for upgrades and to buy equipment.

Each lane has three defensive towers and a barracks, and the goal is to destroy the opposing team's base crystal to achieve victory.

There is no limit on the number of players required.

This mode is familiar to everyone; it's a MOBA game that once enjoyed immense popularity. Apart from Wang Yu, it's hard to find someone who doesn't know about it.

The second mode is called "Domination Battlefield Mode", where there are resource points within the battlefield. Both factions compete to capture flags and resources, and the side with more resources wins. This mode tests the scale and cooperation of both factions and is a traditional battlefield mode that requires a minimum of one thousand players.

The third mode is the "Guild Combat Mode", where the system randomly matches players from both guilds and throws them into an independent battlefield, which shrinks over time. The side that kills all players from the opposing team wins. The minimum player limit is no less than ten.

...

Apart from Wang Yu, Fearless and the others are quite familiar with these three modes.

After glancing at the mode introductions, Wang Yu and the others walked directly into the battlefield entrance.

With a change of scene, the four were teleported into an independent room.

On the walls of the room was a screen displaying the battlefield player score rankings.

At the bottom right corner of the score leaderboard was an exchange option. When clicked, it showed a long list of various rare materials.

The Dark Demon Frost and Holy Stone were prominently displayed in the exchange list, valued at thirty thousand points...

Not only these rare materials, but the list also included Black Crystals, which are hard to come by, valued at fifty thousand points.

"This score leaderboard has problems."

Seeing how expensive these materials were, Wang Yu couldn't help but be taken aback.

It should be noted that in the battlefield setting, each player kill grants one point, and winning a battle doubles the points.

Taking the Divine and Demon Canyon as an example, a battle lasts at least thirty to fifty minutes, and on average, each player would only earn a few dozen points. The efficiency of being able to brush up on a piece of Dark Demon Frost in one night is truly shocking.

Yet the player with the highest score on the leaderboard has already amassed over seventy thousand points... It clearly doesn't look like the battlefield just opened.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Wang Yu's words, Fearless and the others asked curiously, "Is there a problem?"

"Seventy thousand points? That seems too exaggerated", Wang Yu asked curiously. "Don't you find it strange?"

"Haha! What's so exaggerated about that?" Fearless laughed, saying, "Don't you know there's a profession in the game called 'booster'?"

"booster? What do you mean?" Wang Yu asked blankly.

To be honest, Wang Yu was completely in the dark about this professional terminology.

When Vainglory saw that Wang Yu didn't know what an booster was, he exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Uncle Bull doesn't even know what an booster is?"

"Of course! I'm a newbie in the game", Wang Yu reminded him.

"Uh..."

Vainglory was speechless… Wang Yu's prowess often makes people overlook the fact that he is a newbie.

"They're the ones who farm points!" Fearless explained. "As long as they're paid, they'll rush in to die... Since the battlefield just opened, there are definitely plenty of boosters around, so farming seventy thousand points isn't too hard."

"Damn! It can be so shameless?" Hearing Fearless's words, Wang Yu's eyes widened. Clearly, the inexperienced Wang Yu knew nothing about these players who had no competitive spirit whatsoever.

"What can we do?" Fearless shrugged. "These guys who walk the line of game rules are all from large studios. If they pulled this in competitive games, they would definitely get banned, but 'Rebirth' isn't a dedicated competitive game; within the game rules, the game company is naturally powerless."
