Ever since the event began, all of the fantasy goblins in Twilight City had been taken down by the Quan Zhen Sect.
The three hundred ordinary fantasy goblins in Twilight City plus one Fantasy Goblin BOSS would total up to 350 fragments in total which could be exchanged for a total of seven sets of capes.
It seemed like each city would only produce up to seven sets of capes. In a city with over a hundred thousand players, seven sets were definitely not a lot.
After the death of the Fantasy Goblin BOSS, every player received a fragment. This was only because the Fantasy Goblin BOSS was killed under the leadership of the City Lord.
Out of all the three hundred cities in the game now, only Twilight City’s City Lord was a player. Therefore, other main cities would not have such an opportunity at this moment.
There might not be a lot of players in Twilight City but a mere 350 fragments was far from enough. After getting rid of Twilight City’s Fantasy Goblin, Wang Yu and co. started clearing the main cities beside them.
The event had started for about seven to eight hours now. With Li Xue and the rest still misleading the public with prevarications and deliberate falsehoods, everyone was still busy grinding the willows quests. For the time being, there was still nobody harassing the NPCs on the streets.
The Quan Zhen Sect’s plan could be considered to be pretty successful.
To be honest, this quest wasn’t easy in any way. Finding three hundred NPCs in a different city wasn’t much easier than fighting a BOSS.
The Quan Zhen Sect continued being busy until 12 midnight as they finally cleared all the quests in four main cities. Everyone only stopped for the day once Wang Yu went to bed.
As for the reason why everyone only stopped after Wang Yu went to bed… The reason was simple: They couldn’t defeat any BOSS without Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was a married man so he was never going to give up sleep just to fight a BOSS with them. He would get into a lot of trouble…
On the next day before 8 am, Wang Yu went online. After going online, Wang Yu realised that there were a few sneaky players kneeling around the alley of Hermit.
“Eh? What is happening? Someone is kneeling on the streets of an NPC?” Wang Yu questioned in the guild chat.
Fearless asked, “That is very normal as nobody in this game is a fool. It is already considered decent that our strategy can last for one day without people realising.”
Indeed, paper will never be able to contain fire. No matter how effective the Quan Zhen Sect’s initial bluff was, the truth will always come out.
After completing over ten quests without activating the hidden quest, the players finally realised that they were being fooled by the strategies provided to them on the forum. Therefore, they looked for other breakthrough points.
There were many other capable players in the game so it was reasonable for some of them to find the street NPCs. When all of the monsters in Twilight City were cleared yesterday night, someone already thought of this so there was definitely going to have more people in the other main cities who would have thought the same.
“So are we still going to continue grinding today?” Wang Yu looked at the time and there was still less than five minutes to 8 am. After 8 am, the quests would be refreshed and if everyone knew how to complete the quests effectively, it would mean that it wouldn’t be easy for them today.
Of course, the players from Quan Zhen Sect were not afraid. This group of fellas managed to collect all the fragments from four main cities. At this moment, they were almost able to form one cape for each of them. Therefore, it didn’t matter whether they continued grinding.
Fearless replied, “Of course we have to grind! After this event, the fragments will be worth a lot of money. Not picking up money is the same as throwing money away.”
Fearless was right because the flight effect of a cape was indeed too alluring. The limit for each main city was merely 350 and with such rarity in production, the price of one fragment might even cost more than an equipment itself. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for them to collect more fragments.
“Then we can only wait for the BOSS now,” Wang Yu replied.
There were too many players surrounding the NPCs on the streets. While it was true that the Quan Zhen Sect was dominant in this city, they were still reputable people who loved their pride. Stealing monsters in the open was not something they could do casually.
“That is not a worry! We can do it this way!” Fearless sent Wang Yu a message with a smiley face.
“This works too?” When Wang Yu saw Fearless’ message, he asked in confusion.
Fearless smiled and replied, “Of course it works! We will be able to weigh what everyone wants at the end!”
“Alright!” Wang Yu pondered upon it and made his decision to trust Fearless.
Just as the event was about to refresh, a public announcement could be heard across Twilight City.
City Lord Announcement: All the street NPCs are reserved by Quan Zhen Sect so nobody is to activate any quest.
“F*ck!” When everyone heard the City Lord’s announcement, the players from Twilight City rolled their eyes.
Even though the Quan Zhen Sect were illustrious and glorious in Twilight City, it was simply ridiculous for them to keep the entire event for themselves. Just because they didn’t allow anybody to activate the quest, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t activate it.
The Quan Zhen Sect was naturally not going to believe that everybody in Twilight City would obey the City Lord’s instructions. With over a hundred thousand players, the Quan Zhen Sect would have no means of finding out who tried to activate the quests secretly.
At this moment, another public announcement could be heard.
City Lord Announcement: If the Quan Zhen Sect is unable to collect 300 fragments, I will not release any BOSS!
“F*ck! That is way too despicable!” Looking at the second announcement, every player in Twilight City flew into a rage.
Damn it! If everyone could snort disdainfully at the first announcement, they would have to reconsider their options after seeing the second announcement.
All the players in Twilight City would only have one fragment each at this point because Wang Yu led his team to kill the Fantasy Goblin BOSS.
If the Quan Zhen Sect chose not to take action, they could only kill the BOSS by outnumbering him. Even when that happens, the entire main city will only receive 350 fragments.
Three hundred fifty fragments for over a hundred thousand players… Only a minority of them would be able to receive it.
If the Quan Zhen Sect chose to take action, there would be over a hundred thousand fragments for everyone to have one each.
This was especially true for players in a guild. By allowing the Quan Zhen Sect to kill the BOSS, it would be extremely meaningful. One must know that a guild would have five hundred players and guilds like Sanguine Alliance and Void Blade would have even more. The more players they have, the greater the rewards…
This way, going against the Quan Zhen Sect would be equivalent to going against the entire Quan Zhen Sect.
Between choosing to secure one fragment and fighting for a small possibility to receive one fragment, the answer was obvious.
After seeing the announcement, the players from Twilight City obediently gave up the idea of going after the street NPCs. They continued to try for the willow quests.
And those players from guilds even sent people to surround the street NPC to await the Quan Zhen Sect’s arrival to finish the job.
Everything was so peaceful and this was only possible in Twilight City.
With such strong support from the citizens, the quest completion rate became relatively high.
In less than an hour’s time, the three hundred fantasy goblins in Twilight City had been killed by the Quan Zhen Sect. Just like yesterday, the Fantasy Goblin BOSS also descended from the sky.
With Wang Yu around, everyone knew how to deal with the Fantasy Goblin BOSS easily. It didn’t take long for the BOSS to be killed.
Fantasy Goblin defeated. Every player in the city to receive +1 fragment to everyone’s delight.
