Chapter 1559: Grinding Contributions
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“All we can do now is to ask for help…”
Even though they knew that they were not a match for w.a.n.g Yu, the two of them did not choose to submit to humiliation because of that.
After all, their equipment were of utmost importance to them.
If they only died once, the two would have just blamed it on their misfortune and earned back their experience points over the next few days. But once they lost their equipment, it was no longer just about pride.
Under such helpless circ.u.mstances, the Warrior pondered for a moment before opening up his friend list to send a message to a player called Tulip, “Boss, I have an urgent matter!”
Tulip was the president of Starry Sky City’s Sunflower Trade Union.
There were many players on the Korean server even though it didn’t have a large territory. Therefore, the players were relatively more concentrated in Starry Sky City. In fact, there were four to five guilds with over ten thousand players in Starry Sky City and Sunflower Trade Union was just one of them.
Tulip was the only female player among all the presidents of those guilds.
See that? This is the treatment of a leading role. A casual walk down the street and he had already offended one of the strongest guilds in the main city.
Tulip was just completing a dungeon quest with a team and just when she was about to loot the final BOSS, she received this message.
Tulip couldn’t help but feel slightly taken aback.
“What happened, boss?” One could be easily distracted when reading a message in the game. Seeing how Tulip simply stood there motionlessly, the other players couldn’t help but ask.
“Nothing much!” Tulip waved her hands, “Mountain Chief had just texted me to say that there had been an urgent matter.”
“What urgent matter?” everyone continued to probe, “Wasn’t that kid completing a quest with Hidden Ghost? I bet it is just some threshold that he cannot get through. Boss, you should ignore him or he might want us to go over to help him again.”
“Haha!”
Tulip smiled faintly.
She knew that these people were merely joking so she casually replied to her private message, “Why? What’s the urgent matter?”
Upon receiving the message, the Warrior named Mountain Chief responded swiftly, “We came across a player from another server in the city!”
“Other server? What do you mean?” Tulip asked in astonishment.
After all, something like that was extremely rare so Tulip did not think of the Chinese server immediately.
“I mean what I say! A player from another country!” Mountain Chief continued, “The kind where we can grind for national contribution.”
“National contribution? Foreigner?”
There had only been one way to earn national contribution so after putting it this way, Tulip finally reacted properly as she got all excited.
However, she was only excited for a short while as she suddenly thought of something, “European server or American server? Players from those two servers are not people we can afford to offend…”
“Asian!!!” Mountain Chief answered.
“Oh? Really? Where is he now?” Tulip smiled widely upon hearing that.
“He is parading himself ostentatiously about town. Hurry up and bring some men over… Otherwise, he might be taken away by other guilds,” Mountain Chief replied hurriedly.
This worry was from the bottom of his heart.
After all, national contribution could be used to exchange for G.o.d-grade equipment and the only way to obtain this was to kill players from other countries. And as of now, w.a.n.g Yu was the only foreign player in the city.
There were ma.s.sive guilds all around Starry Sky City and given the way w.a.n.g Yu had been acting in the city, it wasn’t hard for others to target him soon.
One must know that there was a limit to the amount of contribution a player could get from killing one foreign player. If one wanted to grind enough for a G.o.d-grade equipment, one would have to kill w.a.n.g Yu at least eighty to a hundred times. To Mountain Chief, it didn’t matter whether or not Tulip could receive sufficient contribution. They were only so anxious because their weapons were still in w.a.n.g Yu’s hands.
If w.a.n.g Yu was killed over eighty to a hundred times, he would probably be stripped of all his equipment. At that time, their equipment might end up to be the properties of others. This was Mountain Chief and Hidden Ghost’s greatest worry.
“You guys go ahead to watch him. We will be there shortly…”
After saying that, Tulip closed her friend list and turned to everyone else on sight, “Everyone, quickly sweep up the battlefield. We have to head back now!”
“What happened?” Seeing how anxious Tulip became, the rest of them questioned.
Tulip merely replied with three words, “Grind national contribution!”
“Hua…”
Everyone caused a commotion after hearing Tulip’s words.
Everybody had played this game for some time now so they knew what she meant. They simply did not expect themselves to be this fortunate to be able to come across such a good opportunity today.
National contribution was something one could obtain from killing foreign players, so logically speaking, it was unlimited…
Of course, the system was not a fool to disregard such an obvious BUG. However, the system’s remedy to this was to limit the kills to a few times a day.
However, it shouldn’t matter if someone had enough patience to force out a G.o.d-grade equipment even if they were only allowed to kill him once a day.
Tulip might be able to enjoy the meat and the others could minimally have some soup.
…
At this moment, the Sunflower Trade Union was not the only guild to have heard of this news. The several other guilds in the city had already heard of w.a.n.g Yu’s appearance.
It was bound to happen given how high-profiled w.a.n.g Yu had been acting. Most Asians looked the same and even though w.a.n.g Yu was more unique in terms of looks, if he didn’t speak, n.o.body would be able to tell him apart from the rest. However, the way w.a.n.g Yu went around asking for directions was equivalent to him shouting ‘I am not a local!’.
After receiving the news, the other guild leaders had the same reaction as Tulip. They did not spread the news throughout the guild as they only told a few core members and required them to keep it among themselves.
After all, w.a.n.g Yu was the only opponent so it shouldn’t be extremely difficult to deal with him. The more people who knew about him would result in a lesser amount of contribution for each person.
If ten thousand people went up to capture one player, even the rewards gained from him wouldn’t be satisfying to anyone at all.
w.a.n.g Yu was only slightly over level 60 so they probably did not need too many players to deal with.
…
Similarly, news spread to the ears of the president of the biggest guild, Golden Time. Golden Time’s president, Blossoming Moon, had just returned from Dragon Island and was completely exhausted both mentally and physically. Just as he was both fearful and infuriated at Chinese players, he almost jumped out of his seat when he heard this.
“What’s going on?! Is that player from the Chinese server or j.a.panese server?”
He was indeed a more experienced expert. Blossoming Moon had much more consideration after hearing the news.
j.a.panese players were much more straightforward and their abilities were slightly weaker. However, the Chinese server was mixed with fish and dragons. The weak and strong players were both capable of making him question everything about life. He just had such a personal experience from his trip to Dragon Island.
