Chapter 341: Chapter 143: Core of the system, struggle upwards.

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng’s mind swiftly scrolled through the torrent of information produced by the players.

After three days of exploration, the newcomer players have basically understood some of the background and settings of the Monster World.

The exploration maps have also begun to split.

Some players went to the Emperor Tomb Village scene’s mining area, purchased mining pickaxes, and earned sacrificial power necessary to enhance their strength through mining. Currently, the mining area has upgraded to Level 3, the quality of the spiritual ore output has improved, and coupled with the spiritual energy nourishment from the Emperor Tomb Village scene, newcomers can also gain Body Refining Experience while mining.

Some newcomers joined veteran players’ teams, becoming accompanying experience gainers, to compete against the Black Tide and Insect Tide in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

There were also newcomers heading to the Colorful Mist Coast Space, searching for low-level monsters in a comfortable environment for hunting.

More newcomers battled with the Purple Tide Army in the Frost Winter Snow Region.

All newcomers started their growth journey in their preferred ways.

In this process, veteran players were greeted with benefits exclusive to the appearance of newcomer players.

Many discarded weapons and equipment found a use.

For instance, low-quality weapons bought from the store were consigned at discounted prices at the Trading House and instantly swept up by newcomer players.

This was a joyous event for veteran players and the same for newcomers, who could acquire beginner equipment at prices lower than those in the store.

Such weapons are in short supply, after all, there are only thirty thousand veteran players, but the number of newcomer players is seventy thousand.

Many newcomers called on the forums, urging veteran players to quickly replace their current equipment and provide a wave of welfare sponsorship for newbies.

Besides store weapons, many self-made equipment by veteran players were also being purchased in bulk.

For instance, early discarded fishing rods from Fishing Faction players would be snapped up at the right price.

The Gun Merchant’s old generation weapons, which veteran players kept in their packs taking up space and were reluctant to discard, could now be sold to newcomers for sacrificial power gains.

The appearance of newcomer players prompted a wave of equipment updates for veteran players.

The price of sacrificial power also skyrocketed during this time, reaching a 1:320 exchange with Human Clan credit coins.

The main culprits behind the sacrificial power surge were the Gun Merchant and the Alchemist Guild, who seemed to suddenly gain unexpected wealth and lavishly spent, negotiating prices for large quantities of sacrificial power and constantly driving up its price.

Pay-to-play players voiced grievances.

However, buying sacrificial power at any price remains individual freedom, and apart from complaints, pay-to-play players had no means of restriction.

Though some players suggested on forums selling sacrificial power collectively to try to bring its price down.

At the time, many players responded, but the sacrificial power sold was snapped up by several large guild leaders and didn’t affect the upward trend at all.

The biggest change brought by the appearance of newcomer players was the forum’s prosperity.

Daily new posts increased threefold, during which many old strategy posts were dug out and pinned, with a group of newcomers discussing strategy content in the posts.

For example, Gargoyle output strategy, Eagle-Headed Demon magic-guided, Fierce Poison special effects, and so on.

For veteran players, the strategies already seemed outdated, but for newcomers, they were exploration world’s beginner secrets that could help them quickly grow.

During this period, two Primordial Monsters were successfully contained.

They were:

[Magic Tower (Third Generation Primordial)]:

Primordial Traits introduction: Consumes spiritual power to generate an Energy Magic Tower, which can be controlled with spiritual power to strike designated targets with energy beams or set for free attack mode to attack any approaching targets (Magic Tower’s existence time, attack strength, attack frequency are influenced by one’s spiritual strength and Life Soul Level).

The Magic Tower soul was contained by veteran players while exploring the Frost Winter Snow Region.

It is also a powerful Life Soul suitable for Magic players.

Forum Strategy Party players gave it consistently high evaluations and derived a new Magic System branch Star Vein School.

This school is referred to in forums as the Tower Defense Placement Style.

There are two Star Vein Combinations that received massive player likes.

With the Magic Tower soul as the core, the highest liked setup was proposed by forum player "Dark Great Mage": Triple Element Tower.

The paired Life Souls are: Magic Tower, Bone Fire (Ink Flame), Rushing Thunder, Mud Demon (Dissolve), Energy Absorption.

In the demonstration video, after obtaining the combination enhancement of different Life Souls, the Magic Tower released energy beams accompanied by Ink Flame, lightning, and dissolve, with triple elemental damage. A single Level 20 Magic Tower soul could last 5 minutes and 30 seconds and could continuously receive spiritual power to extend maintenance time.

In terms of output strength, with the Magic Tower soul’s support, the damage strength is very high.

The only downside is that the Magic Tower’s defensive power is not high and can be easily destroyed by external forces without team protection.

The second most liked Star Vein School was proposed by forum player Dark Night Will Come: Tower Defense Construction Style.

The paired Life Souls are: Magic Tower, Bone Fire (Ink Flame), Flowing Shadow, Light Shield, Energy Absorption.

This Star Vein Combination performed excellently in demonstration videos.

Initially, five Ink Flame Magic Towers were built around oneself using Flowing Shadow Clone, and then it was about Magic Tower output, allowing the Magic Tower to protect oneself while one provides Light Shield to protect the Magic Tower, forming double protection.

This Star Vein Combination school has very high potential for future expansion.

Theoretically, as long as one has enough Star Vein Slots and Body Refining Level, multiple Magic Towers with mixed elements can be built, focusing on quantity for victory.

Dark Night Will Come also provided an enhanced version in the released strategy post: Elemental Torrent Tower.

The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
