Chapter 840: Chapter 414 Have you finished talking or not?_3

Just one hour later, to exchange a Moon Emblem for a Badge of the Earth, one had to pay with over a hundred years of one’s lifespan!

Of course, this price was something many ordinary people couldn’t afford, and many had no choice but to look for other ways to acquire emblems.

And in this search, they indeed found one: by farming the undead outside the Village of Braves, there was a chance of dropping Badge Fragments, and every six fragments could be combined into one complete badge!

Farming monsters! This method was much easier than parting with over a hundred years to make an exchange!

Once this news got out, players who were dissatisfied with their emblems immediately swarmed out of the Village of Braves, starting to furiously farm the nearby undead.

Thus, on this day, the undead of White Maple City suffered a catastrophic disaster named ’players’.

The hundreds of thousands of undead armies within White Maple City, when faced with the formidable waves of players, were nothing but chaff in the wind.

In the short span of half a day, all the undead creatures around White Maple City were greedily scavenged clean by the players, not a single survivor remained...

...

"It looks like this is my limit..."

Mu You looked at the [You have died] notification on his phone and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

After leaving the fiftieth floor, he continued to climb upwards, but after the fiftieth floor, the difficulty of the battles increased significantly, each fight immensely fierce.

By the time he reached the sixtieth floor, Mu You already felt a bottleneck and nearly failed at that level, only barely scraping through after dozens of rolls with the pocket watch.

Then, relying solely on the Time Pocket Watch and the blessing from the Fairy Lady, Mu You forcefully pushed ahead a few more floors with great difficulty, finally managing to get his character up to the seventieth floor.

After receiving the first-clear reward of the seventieth floor, facing the boss ’White Wolf of the Heaven’ of that level, he had no power to resist and died a swift death.

This scenario was simply the gap in raw strength, and not even billions of rolls with the pocket watch would help; Mu You stopped struggling and ended the trial directly.

After this session ended, it was close to four in the afternoon, and Mu You hurriedly rushed for another attempt before the Tower of Braves closed.

Unfortunately, he and Player One had only arranged for one run a day, after all, the clearing time was not fixed, and they couldn’t guarantee having time for a second run after the first.

And in this run, without the Eye of the Moon Goddess, even though Mu You entered with two emblems, his progress only reached the fiftieth floor before he was kicked out by the Warden.

With both attempts for the day used up, Mu You then had time to open the forum for a quick look.

As expected, the focus of discussions on the forum had entirely shifted to the Tower of Braves by then.

Various high-quality guides began to emerge, many of which even Mu You found greatly insightful.

This was the benefit of a server-wide task: the information shared between players would significantly decrease the difficulty of clearing the quest.

This was something Mu You was very happy to see, and as more intelligence was gathered, the guides would only get more polished. With the support of these high-quality guides, his level of progression could be raised even higher.

Besides this, another aspect that pleasantly surprised Mu You was the influx of a large number of players who incidentally cleared out the undead in White Maple City for him.

This way, the Sunlight Elf quest he took on was essentially automatically completed, though, of course, he still needed to go through the motions to receive the reward.

The next day at four in the morning, as the Tower of Braves was reopened and a large number of players poured into the tower, Mu You maneuvered his character to the center of White Maple City.

[You step over the scattered white bones and appear in the central square of White Maple City.]

[You look around and see no one for several kilometers. The undead army that had been entrenched here was already cleaned out last night by the fools, leaving nothing but these scattered bones...]

[You take out the ’Miniature Anchor Point Teleportation Array Disk’ and place it under your feet.]

[As the array disk touches the ground, it emits a series of clicking sounds, starting to operate automatically.]

[The Teleportation Array is forming, and is estimated to finish in five hours. The energy of the Teleportation Array will attract the nearby Undead, please ensure its safety during this period.]

[Guarding the array disk...]

Originally, guarding this array disk for five hours would have definitely meant enduring a tough battle, but now it had turned into idle AFKing.

Mu You would have preferred to attract some Undead to grind for experience, but alas, there were none; a horde of thirsty players had chased the Undead too thoroughly clean. For the whole five hours, he didn’t even see the shadow of a Skeleton.

Instead, quite a few players were drawn by the commotion here, curious to come over and check it out, but none of them dared to approach, since Mu You was standing firm with the ID ’Ghost Captain’ and had even erected a ’Keep Out’ sign in front of him. No one foolish came to provoke him.

And so, after five hours, at nine in the morning, the Teleportation Array was finally formed.

Mu You activated the Teleportation Array the moment it was ready.

[You have activated the Teleportation Array.]

[Minutes later, Salina, accompanied by a dozen Sunlight Elves scouts, appeared around you, coming to confirm the situation.]

[The Sunlight Elves, as soon as they appeared, looked around cautiously, on guard, ready for any tough battle that could erupt at any moment.]

[However, the surroundings were peaceful as a prairie, empty and quiet. The Elves drew their bows looking around in confusion; the expected Undead army was nowhere to be seen.]

[Salina looks at you puzzled. You chose to...]

[You explained the cause and effect of the situation truthfully to Salina.]

[After listening, Salina fell into a long silence, as did the group of Elves who looked at you speechlessly, seemingly doubting whether this situation still counted as your achievement...]

Mu You smiled. Whether he freeloaded or not, at least the quest was completed in the end, so the reward had to be given, otherwise it would be a breach of trust.

Moreover, although he might have basked in other players’ light for this quest, it couldn’t be said to have nothing to do with him, at least he was the one through whose hands this server-wide quest was activated.

[After some consideration, Salina finally recognized your contribution.]

[You have completed the quest ’Surprise Assault on White Maple City’.]

[You have received a ’Arcane Mage Suit Exchange Ticket’ *1 from Salina, which can be used at the Phoenix City Mystery Shop to exchange for any Arcane Mage equipment piece of your choice.]

Indeed, the reward was successfully received in the end.

After taking the reward, Mu You didn’t rush back into the Tower of Heroes, but temporarily logged out of the game. He put down his phone, brewed a cup of tea to refresh himself, and then opened the forum, ready to continue perusing the guides.

He wanted to find out the divine arts available to different gods to decide which line of Badge for his Secondary Belief to choose.

As Mu You was browsing the forum guides, he suddenly looked up and noticed that Cola was standing in front of the TV in the downstairs hall, her front paws propped up on the TV stand, watching the screen intently.

"Cola?"

Mu You called out.

But Cola showed no reaction, her cat eyes fixed on the TV screen, her tail swishing unconsciously behind her.

Mu You’s curiosity piqued; at this time of day, wasn’t this creature usually sprawled on the bed playing with a phone? How come today she was interested enough to watch the TV?

Holding his cup of tea, Mu You went downstairs to see what was playing on the TV that had captured Cola’s undivided attention.

But upon seeing it, the sip of water he just took sprayed right out.

On the screen was a local news channel from City K, and in the broadcast, a scene was playing out where a young girl surrounded by a crowd was conjuring raging flames in her hands, continuously throwing fireballs around her as if it were a disaster site.
