Chapter 71: International Server Updates

"The expressions of those Invincible Under Heaven guys must be priceless right now!"

"So comfortable, hahaha~"

"This round, the Gods' MVP is awesome!"

"Xian Xia, Xiao Feng and his two friends enjoyed a seafood buffet, laughing heartily."

"The buffet restaurant had a screen that could connect to the internet, and it was currently scrolling through some information about topics related to 'Myriad Heavens'."

"'Myriad Heavens' was extremely popular; it launched at noon, and by evening over 1 billion people had already entered the game."

"Whether students or office workers, everyone found many interesting ways to play in the game."

"The tenfold time difference also allowed some people who normally live a hectic life to find relief inside."

"Although no one understands why in-game time can be ten times slower than reality, most people love this aspect and gladly accept it."

"At that moment, the TV screen happened to be broadcasting news of the Gods Guild purchasing a base, and many people below left congratulatory comments, expressing their thoughts."

"Moreover, those in the know revealed that the World Guild had bought its base only one minute after the Gods Guild, sparking ridicule or sympathy from many."

"'The World Guild really screwed up this round; in just one afternoon in reality, they were first schooled a few times by Lao Xiao, then got screwed over by the Gods Guild. The loss of morale will likely cause at least a few hundred members to quit.' Li Li laughed while peeling shrimp."

"Xiao Feng played with the empty conch shell, saying, 'I actually feel a bit sorry for them; a big guild ending up like this is truly miserable.'"

"'Forget sympathy; they might be plotting how to get revenge on you.' Zhang Fan shook his head."

"'That's true.'"

"'Let's check out the overseas news; I wonder how the foreigners are playing.' Xiao Feng suggested."

"Switching the screen to the overseas news channel, a stream of messages appeared."

"【M Federation super expert 'Dark Lord' solos a level 80 mythic boss!】"

"【International Server Level Ranking's top expert 'Zhan Fu' shouts at Long Guo: 'Come at level 100 to conquer you.'】"

"【BUG? Fell down a step and lost 50,000 HP!】"

"Some messages attracted a lot of attention, while others were relatively obscure."

"Overseas players tend to be lone wolves and small teams, and their execution in large-scale team combat is inferior to that of Long Guo."

"Although they haven't defeated the level 100 mythic boss to establish a base, there are still many expert players."

"Now the top-ranked overseas player 'Zhan Fu' is already level 76; achieving this without killing many mythic and legendary bosses shows how fast their monster‑grinding speed is."

"Moreover, many well‑known pro players, veteran masters, and international tournament champions are also thriving, accomplishing many earth‑shattering feats."

"The announcement count in the entire Blue Star war zone has been refreshed dozens of times, and the number in the international server half is clearly higher than that in the Long Guo server half."

"For each level, the first clears of the main story dungeons are mostly taken by international server players."

"Of course, this is mainly because the main story dungeons are hard to find and require luck to trigger; otherwise, with Xiao Feng's strength, one person could easily go from level 25 to 155."

"Furthermore, the international server also had a mysterious player reveal the attributes of a 'super artifact'."

"According to the verbal attribute info, it is a staff that adds 10,000 points of magical attack and also comes with the active skill 'Heaven‑Destroying, Earth‑Annihilating'; once unleashed at full power, one person can flatten an entire map."

"Some doubted its authenticity, but Xiao Feng felt it was likely genuine."

"However, that person never revealed their game ID, so nobody knows exactly who they are; we can only guess based on their in‑game performance."

"The separation between the game world and the internet means that many in‑game messages and scenes cannot be directly presented online."

"This is a great regret, causing many who haven't yet gone online to anticipate the game intensely, yet be unable to get a sneak peek."

"But it's all right—work and school are about to end!"

"After dinner, 'Myriad Heavens' will welcome another large batch of players, and the major cities will become even livelier!"

"'I'm done eating, I'm done—hurry back to the dorm to keep playing!'"

"Xiao Feng and his two friends had been enjoying their meal, but after seeing all that information, they now felt impatient to log in."

"So they hurried back to school, quickly washed up, took care of their bodily needs, then returned to bed and reconnected their consciousness to the game server."

"……"

"'Welcome back to the Myriad Heavens world!'"

"'You have already created a character; you can log in anytime.'"

"On the login screen, Xiao Feng saw a handsome male mage holding a weather staff."

"'I have to say, I'm really handsome~'"

"After indulging in self‑admiration, he stepped into his character avatar; a flash of light and shadow later, he appeared on the main street of Long Xue Cheng."

"'Lao Li, Lao Zhang.'"

"His two roommates were also online, and the three remained in a party."

"'Lao Xiao, what should we do now? Want to grind some levels together?' Li Li, full of energy after eating and drinking, said."

"'Sure, uh, someone's looking for me.'"

"Just as Xiao Feng agreed, the friend chat lit up."

"'Brother Xiao Feng, you're finally back—come help us quick; our base is about to be breached!'"

"The message came from the guild master of the Conquest Guild, Zhan Tian."

"His tone was a bit anxious; he was clearly facing a serious problem."

"'Has it already started?' Xiao Feng asked."

"'It's been going for almost an hour; the monsters are too high‑level, each needing many skills to take down. Our people have died several rounds already, and now we're relying solely on the NPC army to hold the line.' Zhan Tian said helplessly."

"'Give me the coordinates; I'm coming right away!' Xiao Feng, knowing the situation was serious and not to be delayed, said urgently."

"'Go to Moon City, take the small teleport array straight to 'Conquest Myriad Heavens'; I've already granted you teleport permission.' Zhan Tian replied immediately."

"'Grant permission for my two friends as well; we'll go together. Their serial numbers are XXX……'"

"Xiao Feng gave that instruction, then immediately led his two brothers straight to the teleport array."

"From Long Xue Cheng they teleported to Moon City, then from Moon City's small teleport array they teleported to the base of Conquest Myriad Heavens."

「Prompt: The target area is currently at war. Confirm transfer? 」

Because the target location was special, the system also consulted additionally during the transfer.

「Confirmed。」

Xiao Feng and his two companions paid the transfer fee and directly arrived at the guild stronghold, which was currently undergoing a defense battle.

Boom—

Crack!

Roar—

Just as they arrived at the destination, waves of sound came from afar.

Xiao Feng and his two companions looked up and saw that they were in a crude village, with basically no buildings around except a wooden wall and a few simple functional structures.

Inside the 1000x1000-meter stronghold, a large number of players crowded together, and after respawning they fearlessly charged out of the walls to battle the monsters.

Outside the stronghold lay a beast tide as vast as a sea.

Monsters of varying sizes were charging toward the stronghold.

When the players were hit by the beast horde, they basically couldn't last more than three seconds before collapsing.

But the damage they inflicted on the monsters appeared feeble and ineffective.

「Priests focus on healing NPCs; knights and warriors take potions themselves! We can die, but the NPCs cannot, or we absolutely cannot hold the line! 」

「Old Bai, go restock the potion shop NPC; the blood magic potions are almost depleted! 」

「Brothers whose weapons broke go to the warehouse to get new weapons; armor can wait—first priority is killing monsters! 」

Zhan Tian's roar echoed within the stronghold; this guild leader stood at the door of the crude council hall, commanding the overall situation.

The building behind him was the true core of the entire guild; if the monsters broke through the wall and reached this place to destroy the council hall, this defense battle would be considered a failure.

「Old Yang, which section of the wall is under the greatest pressure? I'll go reinforce! 」 Xiao Feng took a few seconds to assess the situation, quickly entered a combat-ready state, and shouted at Zhan Tian.
