EBE Chapter 812 Collect 7 Dragon Balls
Chapter 812 Collect 7 Dragon Balls
In "Apocalypse", there are two types of churches, which are "athich" and "atheral" in Faric. The former is an ordinary "church" and the latter has the meaning of "cathedral".
These "cathedrals" usually have extremely important religious symbols and their cycles are usually longer. Naturally, the first church in the starry sky should be the latter.
Originally, the main difficulties in building the Starry Sky Church were the unpredictable weather and rugged terrain, but now these problems have been responded to by himself remotely and solved in a "miracle" way.
If there is no shortage of funds and more players join, the cycle should be shortened to less than two months, or even one month.
Again, never underestimate the power of players.
Zhou Ning thought about it, wrote a construction task and released it.
[A-level camp construction mission: Follow Rich Burke and complete the construction of the Starry Sky Church. Deadline: 2 months.]
[Note: Within two months, complete the following twenty-six construction branches [click to view]. Each construction requirement will reward 32 experience points. After completing all construction branches, you will be rewarded with 80 experience points, 10 draws from the wishing pool, +800 contribution points, and +20 Starry Sky Church reputation.]
This mission can be completed in a group, with a maximum of 400 members per team. The five individuals/teams with the highest evaluations after completion will receive additional rewards and evaluations, and will have priority access to the "Shadow of Death" main quest.
[Current construction progress: 0%.]
[Additional conditions: If you complete the construction of the Starry Sky Church ahead of time, you will receive additional rewards based on the number of days. For every day of construction completed ahead of time, the reward will be increased by 5%, with no upper limit.]
Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He had examined the blueprints provided by Richie Burke. The twenty-six building requirements included thick walls, domes, long corridors, large piers, altar areas, corridors, church towers, and other internal structures. With the blueprints and a large number of NPC craftsmen, players could also put them to use. Once all twenty-six building requirements were met, the cathedral would be nearing completion.
"There are also tricks here. I can use 'wishing' to speed up the construction process, but fulfilling one's own wishes is called self-satisfaction. In order to improve my control over the 'power of wishing', I won't do that. Once the players understand this, I can respond remotely and fulfill their wishes..."
"This also has additional benefits. By answering prayers and granting wishes over and over again, players and NPCs will become accustomed to the benefits of wishing. As this belief spreads, more people will express their wishes through prayer and confession, allowing me to respond remotely. It will also be much easier to fully control the authority of wishing, and it can also form a connection with Dragon Ball."
Zhou Ning plans to make the Dragon Balls a miracle in the player camp and in this world. Everyone will want to obtain it to fulfill their wishes, and thus become a medium to enhance the power of their wishes.
In this way, including the recently released [Collect Seven Dragon Balls] event, the schedule of Starry Sky Church players is fully arranged, which can be said to be extremely attractive.
Moreover, the tasks of these two camps are unlikely to conflict with each other. The task of [Collecting Seven Dragon Balls] will only last for 1 or 2 days at most, and may not even take a day.
Seeing that many players had accepted this task one after another, Zhou Ning snapped his fingers, and rows of black shadow troops suddenly appeared in front of him. He asked seven of the black shadows to carry dragon balls with them, and the other black shadows followed and wandered around the starry sky base and the church in the suburbs, creating a large-scale event out of thin air.
Under Zhou Ning's deliberate control, these shadow legions were all monsters of level 50 to 60, just right for the player's level.
The time in the game and in reality are not synchronized. If I remember correctly, today should be Christmas in reality. This [Collect Seven Dragon Balls] activity can just serve as a Christmas Easter egg in the game to enhance the cohesion of the players in the camp.
.........
At one o'clock in the morning, in the "Phantom of Hood Island" raid.
Although today is Christmas, the 150 players of the Tang Poetry and Song Lyrics Club, a PFU team (PlayForUber, a team that plays games to challenge their limits), gave up their entertainment activities and continued to explore Alfred, the God of Wish-Fulfilling, in loneliness and pain.
Unlike other domestic clubs, the Tang Poetry and Song Ci Club's core players don't have Rangers, so they don't have to rush to level up and change classes. As a result, they're one of the fastest-growing guilds in Alfred, having already reached P3.
"The boss has chosen melee combat. Quickly, switch your melee weapons to ranged weapons for output. Don't switch to ranged weapons while reading healing spells to avoid increasing the healing burden!"
"Oh my god! Close combatants should continue to cast healing spells, while healers should stop and control their mana!"
"Beautiful! Hang in there, we'll be in P4 soon!"
As the team leader, Yan Ranweile rapped non-stop, his tone becoming increasingly passionate. After no less than two hundred wipes, the boss's health was finally reduced to 20%.
But as soon as he entered P4, Alfred made his third wish, wishing for all kinds of deadly disasters to fall from the sky.
At this point, the team was already on the verge of breaking its limit, and now it was in a bloodbath state. One player after another turned into white light and flew away, and the whole team was wiped out in an instant.
"Holy crap!" the entire team cried out. After all this hard work, the boss's health was almost low, and they hadn't expected this. They'd only granted three wishes per fight, and this was already the fourth!
"Everyone, take a rest. Those who need to spend time with their girlfriends should go and spend time with their girlfriends. We will continue to explore the new land tomorrow." Yanran Wei Le cursed and sighed, announcing the disbandment of the event.
"Oh my god, look at the faction mission! There's a new faction activity!" At this time, the team's deputy T Chunjiang Shuinuan suddenly said excitedly.
"Collect seven dragon balls? Faction building mission?" After reading the mission description, Yanran Wei Le was also very excited. As one of the poorest clubs in the country, they usually didn't participate in activities that cost money, but there was no reason to ignore this kind of activity that spoke to the game, not at any time.
The faction building mission couldn't be completed in the early hours of the morning, but he wasn't about to let go of the seven Dragon Balls quest. Today was Christmas, and based on his years of gaming experience, he figured this mission might be the game's Christmas event! The more Dragon Balls players recovered, the richer the rewards!
"Those who want to log off can do so now. Those who need to accompany their girlfriends should go and accompany them. Those who are not sleepy can accept the mission and set off together!" Yan Ran Wei Le waved his hand decisively.
"No, what's the point of accompanying me? Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
"Bah, man, get out!"
Amidst the chat bubbles that popped up one after another, Yan Ranwei climbed out of the submersible cabin, ate some takeout, washed his face, re-entered the submersible cabin, and began to fight with full energy.
Although it was already early morning, Yanran Weile noticed that the protagonist's shop, which was the Starry Sky Station, was full of people. Yanran Weile also saw the figures of Jinse and Brother Tangshan.
"Damn it, Zhou Ming, Shorty, why are you guys here too?"
"Why, you, Zhao Shengqiang, are the only ones who can complete the mission?" Brother Tangshan glanced at him and said.
"Oh my god, I'm so lucky, I see one right away!" Yanran Wei Le heard Jinse's sigh and turned his head to look. He saw that the dwarf girl had pulled the trigger of the Sky-Sweeping Wings towards a humanoid monster in the form of a black shadow. The shot knocked off a lot of blood, and she immediately turned her head and rushed towards Jinse.
Yan Ranwei's eyes lit up. He had originally worried that the monster would be too difficult to deal with, but now it seemed to be just right for their level.
At this time, other players nearby also noticed the black shadow. With a reference point, they were too lazy to bother with it and turned around to look for new ones.
It's not that they don't want to steal monsters, but Apocalypse shares a similar first-hit protection mechanism with other MMOs. The first person or group to attack a monster gains ownership of the monster's experience and items. Ownership resets until the opposing team dies, the group is wiped out, or they all leave the battle. This is to prevent players from stealing monsters.
Soon after, players spotted more shadows near the Starry Sky Station. These shadows were confined to the area surrounding the station, densely packed and numerous. But with so many people, there were many more. Killing a single shadow in the vast crowd was a real challenge. And even now, none of these players had managed to catch a single Dragon Ball!
"It seems that luck plays a big role in the competition of this Christmas event!" Yanran Wei Le thought to himself.
