Chapter 70: Chapter 69: The Tomb Guardian's First Plan to Gain Fame.
If the first point merely made countless juniors feel pretty good, allowing them to overlook the risks brought about by the major event and to joyfully revel in the bounty of their harvest,
then the second point was something that even the members of the Fengtian City Government found hard to ignore.
More than ten days earlier.
The Fengtian City Government had selected several robust officials who then reset their classes and levels, keeping their level at "lv.3" in preparation to take the lead in the grand event. They also secretly discussed with every influence in Fengtian City that had a say.
They convinced these forces to at least send out one or two Supernaturals who had reset their classes to deal with this major event.
Experience was extremely hard to come by; even perfectly clearing an F-level Secret Realm would only yield 100 experience points, and an Experience Secret Realm that Chen Miao and others could breeze through still gave less than 1,000 experience points.
Having a high-level Supernatural reset their class and level meant that person was essentially ruined. To regain their previous strength, it would take at least five or six years even if they spent day and night in the Secret Realm. And by the time they regained their former power, their peers would have long left them in the dust.
The higher the level, the greater the cost of resetting one's class and level.
However, similarly, although all Attribute Points are removed after the reset, Skill Proficiency and Combat Experience will not decrease, and their understanding of Secret Realms, grand events, and other Supernatural occurrences becomes even deeper.
This means that the higher the level, the greater the crushing advantage they will have over newcomers after resetting.
"To win a new city-state effect for Fengtian City."
This benefit was for everyone, so it was unreasonable to expect only the Fengtian City Government to make an effort. These other forces had to dispatch people as well.
Under the guise of a noble cause or the overpowering authority of the Fengtian City Government, not a single force refused.
Spreading the risk indeed ensured that no one would suffer too drastically.
As long as the final victor was a Supernatural from Fengtian City, it was all good. City-states like Jingjiu City, which were almost detached from such events, wouldn't care for an additional time-limited city-state effect. Especially not one that was limited in duration.
But for Fengtian City and the surrounding cities with less advantageous city-state effects, this temporary new city-state effect was life-saving.
Countless forces from other cities had sent a great number of people to Fengtian City under the cover of secrecy over the past few days, preparing to take part in the upcoming event and snatch the reward from the ultimate winner.
Like the Envy Organization from a place called "Gaobei City," they had been sneaking people into the city in recent days with their sights set on the grand event. However, it seemed like their stealth wasn't quite up to par; it felt like everyone knew they were sneaking into the city.
What was the point of sneaking in then?
"..."
Chen Miao sat in the tomb chamber, leaning against his own coffin, and after summoning Hungry Monkey with his wristwatch, he finally asked, "Do you think there's a way for our 'Tomb Guardian' organization to quickly make a name for ourselves?"
In his recent conversation with Sun Changqing,
the other party also revealed an important point that nearly all powerful individuals in the Federation either had their own factions or had joined one, and once their level reached a certain threshold, it became difficult to operate alone.
Like at level 30.
At this stage, one is almost at their limit of elevation, and raising one's level becomes extremely difficult. To enhance one's Combat Power through Level Up is too hard, and once items like Attribute Exchange Coupons with limited uses are all employed—if you used five and he also used five, everything remains the same, as if no one had used any at all.
It's not like at levels 1 or 2, where obtaining an item or accidentally gaining 2 Attribute Exchange Tickets could instantly create a gap with those around you.
There's a cap on the number of skills one can learn, and if you can learn skills, so can others.
The Skill Proficiency is more or less the same for everyone at level 30. Even if your proficiency is higher, how much better can it be?
Items are the same case—do you have an opportunity that I don't?
Without opportunities, who could climb to level 30? To actually ascend step by step to that level could freaking take decades and still not be enough.
At that point, even a slight difference in Combat Power could determine who lives and who dies when they clash, and having a faction is a very important factor in raising the upper limit, providing Faction Effects to increase power, special bonuses within the faction's territory, and unique faction maps yielding extra Special Items and skills, and so on.
One critical point—
Family.
"How the hell can you, one man, beat all of us?"
So... basically, in the Federation, there were no Supernaturals above lv. 30 who had not joined a faction. Joining a major faction for protection and to increase one's Combat Power limit was obviously the preferred solution.
The more you advanced, the more important the power of a faction became.
As Power Value kept increasing, the faction would unlock more functions. There were generally only two ways to raise Power Value, the first was to improve the Combat Power of the members, and the second was to expand influence.
And his initial plan was to make a name for himself during this major event!
Before Hungry Monkey could reply, Chen Miao took the lead and said, "A faction needs to develop, and to develop, we must first make a name. I plan to make 'Tomb Guardian' well-known during this major event, as it will attract a lot of attention."
"As long as I can secure the position of ultimate winner, 'Tomb Guardian' will definitely become famous."
"But how should we operate to maximize the effect?"
"This..."
After thinking hard and biting his finger for a while, Hungry Monkey finally looked up and said, "I'll go and discuss it with Yuan Buping and the others."
"Good."
"By the way, Miao, what should we do about that couple? Kill them or let them go? They've found Yuan Buping and the others' tombs, and letting them go might risk exposing our lair."
"Keep them for now, we'll decide after tomorrow's major event is over."
"Understood."
...
"Make a name?"
Yuan Buping was slightly stunned, then his eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, "I'm good at this. Isn't making a name just about increasing exposure? When I used to lead the boys in the internet business, that's what I understood best, we..."
"Hold on."
Hungry Monkey interrupted Yuan Buping, somewhat confused, "What you're saying is a bit muddled. Aren't you guys thugs? How did you start doing internet stuff?"
"Wearing multiple hats..."
Yuan Buping touched his nose and chuckled, "I used to be a boss; naturally, I had to figure out ways to make money for the brothers. I couldn't let them call me big bro for nothing. After so many years, it's finally my turn to be called big bro."
"I can finally experience the ease of being an underling."
Hungry Monkey remained silent for a long moment, then nodded in agreement, "That makes sense, you really know life."
Find adventures on m v l e m p y r
At this moment, Yuan Buping opened his wristwatch and projected his internet account named 'Who Dares to Compete? All Are Mere Ants!' into the air. The account contained many videos, each showing Yuan Buping and others wearing matching black suits, with icy expressions and synced movements dancing to music beats.
It did look somewhat professional.
It's just that the number of likes wasn't high; it seemed that Yuan Buping hadn't quite succeeded in the internet business.
"You guys can dance?"
Hungry Monkey looked at Yuan Buping and the others in surprise, "You can fight, handle construction, and dance? Are you freaking multi-talented? With these badass skills, how did you guys end up having such a hard time before?"
"So, Yuan Buping, your idea is, now choreograph a dance, and during the major event, you'll burst out and become famous like that?"
"Yeah, yeah. Whether it's for spread or attractiveness, it's definitely enough, especially when Miao gets some big reward or announcement, we'll start dancing. Uniform attire, precise movements, it will definitely catch eyes."
"It doesn't seem like a bad idea. What dance is the hottest on the internet recently?"
"That has to be Subject Three!"
