Chapter 607: Year‑end

Li Wenwan, as the Yan Huang Mage Group Leader and having a special counter to the Phoenix Flame boss, was a core main force when Yan Huang tackled the level‑70 boss.

Under these circumstances, the level‑70 boss that had been fought for such a long time naturally suffered hardship and fatigue.

Now Su Sheng tells her that the painstaking effort against the level‑70 boss was all due to a "beautiful" misunderstanding, resulting in wasted work.

Li Wenwan naturally harbors resentment.

As for how Li Wenwan will dispel this resentment, that is not Su Sheng's concern.

During the past few days of game time, Li Wenwan hasn't even been in Yan Huang; she has returned to the Huan Yu side.

It was only on the first day Li Wenwan "went home" that, when Su Sheng logged on, he received a series of Private Chats from Li Xiao, which Su Sheng did not open to view.

Instead, he silently set a message block…

Hmm, he'll lift it when Li Wenwan returns, and that's the cheerful decision.

…

…

Since the Six Major Guild Alliance attacked the Yan Huang Base, no large‑scale conflicts have occurred during the subsequent period.

Of course, minor frictions still exist, but everyone is relatively restrained.

The only major event is the Imperial Dynasty's relocation to Bai Hu City.

Su Sheng is not surprised by this.

What is surprising is that, after moving to Bai Hu City, the Imperial Dynasty founded a guild in less than a week.

Now, among the former top ten guilds that have not yet established a guild, only Qiancheng Muxue and Tan Lang remain.

However, Qiancheng Muxue is now rather pitiful.

Successive defeats and a guild wipe have driven Qiancheng Muxue's strength to rock bottom, even falling below the newcomer Yun Duo.

Therefore, during the coming period, Qiancheng Muxue will be very obedient.

During this time, the entire game community entered another phase of rapid development.

…

…

In the blink of an eye, the year‑end approaches.

Su Sheng's level has also risen to 54; during this period, he has been grinding monsters to level up, and the difficulty of leveling up keeps increasing.

As for the Dream Building Squad, it has vanished again.

The average player level, First Tier, has already reached 47~48.

The Yan Huang Guild here still maintains First Tier standards; when unable to defend the base, the average level dropped by two, returning to the First Tier level shared with ordinary players.

Although the base advantage makes training nearby more convenient, the monsters at nearby Training Spots are relatively high level, and the large forces have not been training here.

Only Su Sheng is solo‑farming level‑60 monsters here.

Besides that, Su Sheng also changed two pieces of equipment.

One is a bracer.

Blood‑colored Elite Bracer (blue, armor).

Defense: 250

Bonus: Constitution +80

Bonus: Constitution +80

Level: 55

Description: —

For Su Sheng, it counts as a small‑quality blue level‑55 gear set.

The other is greaves.

Plate Greaves (blue, armor).

Defense: 260

Bonus: HP +1000

Bonus: Constitution +80

Level: 55

Description: —

Both items were forged with Heavenly Craft Stone, reducing the required level by five.

He replaced Su Sheng's original level‑40 purple gear, which seems to downgrade the gear tier by one (placed at the chapter's end).

However, the level increased, and the bonus attributes fit very well.

Thus Su Sheng's core attributes improved, while some relatively less important bonus attributes for him were reduced.

Su Sheng's attack/defense reached 4588/4188; even without a Shield, he can surpass 4000+ in both.

HP reached: 37570/36170.

There's no way around it; there aren't many level‑55~60 purple equipments suitable for Su Sheng.

As for weapons, there are many, but the Divine Thunder Magic Light Su Sheng wields cannot be swapped in a short time.

Of course, there are some level‑60 blue equipments with relatively superior attributes, but they would waste Divine Craftsman Stone and are not worth it.

Considering level‑55, he'll change again.

Nowadays Heavenly Craft Stone isn't very valuable, of course that's relative; not everyone is willing to use it.

Additionally, the siblings Fengwu Jiu Tian (Wind) and Fengwu Jiu Tian (Crazy) have arrived at Main City and received a warm welcome.

Especially the socially anxious sister Fengwu Jiu Tian, she quickly became familiar with Huang Mingxin and is no longer as socially anxious as at the beginning.

In response, brother Feng Wu Jiu Tian showed a pleased smile, feeling for the first time that joining Yan Huang was the right choice.

I originally brought my sister into the Zhu Lu Game just to try to improve her social anxiety.

…

Besides that, something today caused a stir in the gaming community.

Yan Huang officially announced that the base is open to regular players and can be reached via the Teleport Array in Zhuque City.

Of course, if you want to save money you can walk.

However, the current Gold Coin Ratio has dropped to the ice point—2~3R per Gold Coin—so everyone is now willing to spend.

What can be seen with the naked eye is that mounts and pets have become almost universally available.

After all, the value of 500 Gold Coins now is not even a fraction of what 500 Gold Coins used to be.

Because of the New Year, the recharge channel will be opened simultaneously.

In an instant, many curious players poured into Yanhuang Town to stroll.

Within a short time, Yanhuang Town became completely packed.

Fortunately, Lin Huan had anticipated this from the start, so once the base population reaches a certain peak, teleportation will be halted.

After all… Yan Huang Base is just a small town.

The number of players it can hold simultaneously is relatively limited, and this is… almost a game for the entire nation.

Once the novelty wears off for waiting players and they start leveling properly, things will improve a lot, since most normal players spend the majority of their time outdoors.

Even returning to the base is at most just passing through or resupplying.

"Hey hey hey, the front crowd finished strolling, hurry out, it's full, it's full."

"Yeah, once the tour's over we retreat, once the tour's over we retreat."

"It's our turn, it's our turn."

Yan Huang Base stopped teleporting, and many people rushed the public channel to urge.

Over at Yan Huang, they are in pain and joy.

Overcrowded…

But the teleport fees have been collected to the point of sore hands.

The Dwarves maintaining the Teleport Array have no idea how many times they've changed the power source.

…

…

"Huh? This for me? No no no, it's too… too valuable, I can't take it. I'm afraid I'll lose it…"

Lu Zhe looked at the item Su Sheng handed over, his whole being rejecting it, yet his eyes were full of longing.

The four‑color Divine Artifact, Heavenly Cluster Cloud!

Lu Zhe finally reached level 45 and can now use the Heavenly Cluster Cloud engraved with Divine Craftsman Stone.

"What are you afraid of? You still lack confidence in your own strength," Su Sheng said with a smile.

"If you hold this, how many could kill you? Moreover, what use is it just sitting in a warehouse? It only shows its value when you actually use it."

During this period Lu Zhe has still been progressing; in pure technique, he certainly isn't any worse than Chen Guan.

Among them, the Asura profession is indeed strong.

"This…"

Lu Zhe hesitated.

"Take it!"

Su Sheng shoved the Heavenly Cluster Cloud straight into his hand.
