Chapter 167: Efficiency of Gaining Contributions

Xiao Feng and his companions left the fortress; outside was a stretch of black scorched earth, as if burned by fierce fire, and as if corroded by the power of the Abyss.

"Near the fortress, there are few Abyss soldiers; they are mostly lone scouts and small squads, with levels between 100 and 120, suitable for average player squads."

Chu Long acted as guide and introduced the situation to Xiao Feng.

Just as he finished speaking, a pointed head peeked out from behind a rock not far ahead.

A red-skinned little demon poked its head out, looking left and right.

Xiao Feng glanced at the information.

【Abyss Scout Soldier (Elite)】

Level: 100

HP: 67000/67000

Attack: 2700

Physical Defense: 250

Magic Defense: 300

Skills: Backstab, Poison Blade, Skull-splitting Strike, Hasty Step

This is the most ordinary battlefield monster; acting alone, any 5-player team of level 50 can easily take it down.

Xiao Feng raised his staff, and a Dragon Breath Technique burst forth.

The flames sprayed 225 meters away, directly submerging the Abyss Scout Soldier.

-60,890,000

Massive damage floated up, enough to kill the Abyss Scout Soldier nine hundred times.

【You defeated the Abyss Scout Soldier, EXP +1520, War Contribution +1, War Points +1.】

At the moment the little scout died, Xiao Feng and his four teammates received similar system notifications, but they only got contribution; points only go to the final killer.

"One monster gives only 1 point of contribution; how long would it take to gather a full set of 125-level mythic gear?" Xiao Feng sighed.

Chu Long laughed and said, "A 125-level mythic gear piece costs 25000 contribution points; a full set of eight pieces costs 200,000. Grinding level-100 small monsters would take about a year. However, the contribution from small monsters isn't always just 1 point; for every 10 levels increase, a single small monster gives an extra point, so a level-180 monster gives 8 points. Moreover, the higher the monster's rank, the more it gives. A level-100 epic monster can give 15 points, and it's shared by the whole team, not just the squad."

The sharing mechanism for battlefield monsters is determined by the monster's grade.

Monsters of the types of foot soldiers and squad leaders are squad-shared; after killing them, all five squad members can obtain contribution.

Monsters of the ranks of centurion, commandant, and leader are team-shared; even if Xiao Feng alone kills them, all team members can obtain contribution.

Above that is the demon general rank.

Demon general and demon marshal type monsters use a legion-sharing model, but with primary and secondary distinctions.

When killing a demon general or demon marshal, all legion members within 500 meters can receive contribution rewards.

Among them, the team with the highest combined output and healing ratio receives full contribution for all its members.

The teams with the second and third highest ratios receive 30% contribution.

The remaining teams receive 10% contribution.

Don't think that some participants get little; in fact, if the legion acts as a guild unit, after killing a demon general boss, everyone's contribution points surge greatly, and the reward's richness is still quite considerable.

Previously, Jian Zhan Cang Sheng single-handedly killed a demon general, sharing a large amount of contribution with others, enabling the main force of the World Guild to gain contribution points, which can be exchanged for substantial rewards.

This is the benefit brought by expert players!

And Xiao Feng, his power is even more terrifying, his mobbing ability unmatched. Naturally, everyone wants to follow him and leech his contribution.

"A 50-level epic gear piece costs 100 contribution points; a full set is 800. According to normal players' monster-killing speed, estimate that mixing in the battlefield for about 1-2 days will yield a full epic set." Xiao Feng roughly calculated the acquisition and exchange of war contribution, and said.

Chu Long nodded and said, "Pretty much. However, if you spend all day in the battlefield, leveling efficiency will drop, causing you to fall behind in level."

The density of battlefield monsters is far lower than that of ordinary wild monsters; leveling here is only about one-tenth the usual efficiency.

Moreover, level 50 is just a transitional stage; soon it becomes level 75, then level 100.

Battlefield gear cannot be traded; if it's quickly discarded after exchange, it's all for nothing and somewhat unpleasant.

Therefore, exchanging rewards requires weighing pros and cons.

Like Xiao Feng's friends beside him, under his leadership, they basically already have full sets of 2nd-transformation epic and legendary gear mixed.

This group doesn't have a strong demand for battlefield gear; they can first accumulate contribution points, then after reaching level 100, exchange for a level-100 epic or legendary set.

"Let's act separately as teams." Chu Long said in the legion channel.

The density of Abyss soldiers is relatively low; with over two thousand people moving together, most cannot snag contribution.

Dozens of teams gradually spread out, heading in different directions to explore.

Not long after, the main force of the Gods' legion, located one li outside, clashed with a small scout squad.

Xiao Feng's team has the strongest overall strength; besides him, the other members are all elites among elites, and even the lowest combat power members, Dun Dun and Mang Mei, are fully equipped with epic gear.

Xiao Feng figured out the battlefield rules, and in the team he said, "Everyone, I suggest we directly push to the front line of the Abyss camp; there the monster level is high, there are many officers, clearing is faster, and it's also convenient for war missions."

His own mission requires infiltrating the enemy camp, obtaining important intelligence, and killing a few demon generals.

Others' missions are basically centered on killing enemies.

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Shen Di and the others had no objections; everyone quickened their pace and rushed deeper into the battlefield.

After leaving the fortress about five kilometers, a squad of Abyss soldiers appeared ahead.

"There's meat to eat!"

Seeing groups of demon soldiers, Zhang Fan excitedly yelled, directly activating Dragon Transformation and turning into a dragon-man as he charged forward.

"Roar!"

He activated his exclusive skill "Dragon Roar", attempting to stun the monsters, then output damage.

Unexpectedly, the monster's level was too high; it not only ignored his control skill, but also turned around and gave him a dizzy spell.

Bang!

Crack!

-3200

-3089

-3412

Two Abyssal soldiers rushed forward and unleashed a burst of damage; Zhang Fan's thick health bar was directly reduced by a quarter. If it were someone else, they'd probably have been insta-killed.

"Old Li, heal me!!" Zhang Fan, who had been hit, shouted.

At the same time, everyone else also began to release their skills.

"Heal Technique!"

"Armor-Piercing Arrow!"

"Lightning Chain!"

Li Li, Parkinson, Shen Di, and others all sprang into action.

These people are almost all hidden professions, with formidable strength.

After a round of skill bombardment, eight out of the ten Abyssal soldiers in the squad were directly taken out.

Xiao Feng threw in an exploding fireball, harvesting the remaining two, earning the team some contribution.

【You defeated an Abyssal patrol soldier, EXP+1520, War Contribution+1, War Points+1.】

【You defeated an Abyssal patrol captain, EXP+4560, War Contribution+3, War Points+3.】

Each ten-man squad has one squad leader, contributing slightly more.

After clearing these soldiers, a blue-colored object and a torn piece of paper appeared on the ground.

【Abyssal Monster Essence】: Blue quality, usable for submitting battlefield quests.

【Scattered Intel】: White quality, submitting to the fortress guard officer yields 1 War Contribution.

Chu Long laughed: "Luck not bad, actually dropped a piece of intel."

Abyssal Monster Essence is a drop guaranteed from monsters of squad leader level and above, often needed for battlefield quests.

Intel is hard to come by; now a piece granting +1 Contribution can sell for 10 gold coins. Although it's not much for everyone, it's also a good omen.

"Keep moving forward, let's make a big wave!"

Xiao Feng is no longer satisfied with these small groups of soldiers; he wants to charge straight into the enemy's nest and unleash his ultimate move!
