Chapter 684: You Have Never Fought Hundreds of Thousands of People?!Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Of course, money was like fleeting clouds to Hong Dali. He just wanted to have fun. “Okay, okay. If Big Brother Fang Han don"t find us bothersome, we"ll follow you!”
“Why would I.” Fang Han laughed. “Don"t worry, I"ll ask my men to protect you. If it"s not too dangerous inside, it would be no problem for a few of them to take care of you.”
Since he had said that, they soon set off.
When they arrived at the portals, Fang Han taught them how to use it. “One Galaxy Dollar will allow you to teleport once. We set up a special teleport point near the risky place. Just follow me.” He then said to the people manning the portals, “Six people in total. I"ll pay.”
Hence, all six of them stood at the altar for teleporting. A gorgeous white light flashed. When they looked again at the scenery around them, they exclaimed.
The place they arrived at was completely different.
There was a large forest in front of them, and it was all covered with thick snow. Fang Han said, “According to the information provided by the virtual world, the snow was caused by the crazy magician Herazl. In order to strengthen his Frost Magic, he signed a soul contract with the Elemental Sprite. Hundreds of thousands of people have come with the intention to explore but all died. It"s terrifying.”
Hundreds of thousands of people came to explore but died?! Oh my G.o.d. Herazl is too strong.
“You have never fought hundreds of thousands of people?” Hong Dali followed behind Fang Han and asked carefully. “This Herazl, is he a demon king?”
“Not exactly.” Fang Han said, “Due to its terrain, at one time, only a few thousand people can come face to face with Herazl. The key is that he is a magician. Most of the spells are all range-type. The more people there are, the more they suffer. Once the magic comes across anyone, they would die. If you are not able to move, you can"t fight. Hence, although this is a place where valuable materials are likely to exist, after so many people died, not many people come here anymore—the thing is, the same person can only come to this forest once a month.”
Hong Dali understood now.
In other words, in the virtual world, places for exploring like this were not like those duplicated in Earth"s online gaming. This was one of a kind.
The Boss was strong, the items he dropped were good. But once the Boss died, the adventure came to an end. It was unlike online gaming where one kept fighting.
Didn"t Fang Han mention, hundreds of thousands of people were useless…
“That, how many of us are there this time?” Hong Dali touched his nose. Such a Boss, if they wanted to defeat him, there should be at least a few thousand people, right?
“I arranged for three thousand people to try.” Fang Han smiled. “If we still can"t defeat Herazl this time, I intend to give up. After all, a battle of three thousand people is not cheap.”
“Oh…” Hong Dali secretly asked Tang Long, “Uncle Tang Long, the battles that happen here, do items drop when they die? Otherwise, why would Big Brother Fang say it"s not cheap?”
“He"s not wrong.” Tang Long explained, “It"s very difficult to carry out a plot-based adventure mission. Three thousand people, other things aside, each person has a potion to enhance their attributes—that costs tens of thousands of Galaxy Dollars. To defeat an evil mage-type monster is very depleting. Not talking about potions for strength, agility, and reflexes, there should be potions for fighting against the cold when battling ice-type magicians, right? Otherwise, if it was difficult to move around, how would they fight? Do some calculations. Three thousand people, one potion for fighting against the cold is fifteen Galaxy Dollars, that"s 45,000 Galaxy Dollars. The other potions for strength, agility, and reflexes add up to twenty-four Galaxy Dollars a set. Three thousand sets would be 72,000 Galaxy Dollars. So, one battle would cost about 120,000 Galaxy Dollars. Not everyone can afford that.”
“d.a.m.n, that"s expensive!” Even Hong Dali was shocked.
One battle was worth one-fourth of a villa?!
Hong Dali finally understood. Indeed, once they were in the universe, things were multiplied by several times. Just one battle, restricted by the terrain, involved three thousand people. If there were any big missions in the future…
Sure enough, Tang Long explained, “The virtual world is a place that devours money, a place that allows people to vent. Think about it, in reality, there are times when people get tired, grievous from work, or when things don"t go smoothly. There are all sorts of emotions. But in the real world, it is hard for them to find a place to vent. Hence, this is the best place. This adventure of three thousand people is just a small fight. You have never seen the real star wars, where billions of people invade at once. It is common for tens of billions to die in one battle.”
Tens of billions dying in one battle! d.a.m.n! If it were on Earth, the server would just hang!
“That scary?!” Hong Dali stuck out his tongue in fear. “Tell me about this invasion battle?”
“For example,” Tang Long described. “The scope of the main city of Shenluo is an independent world. This silver-blue super-planet has more than 3,600 main cities, each of which is an independent world. If the world wants to connect with other worlds, the s.p.a.ce-time portal has to be opened. This s.p.a.ce-time portal opens once a year. The random connection between each world, once the portal is opened, there is war. People on this side wants to go over, people on the other side wants to come over. Once they clash, they fight until the sky turns dark. It"s very enjoyable.”
They finally knew. There were all sorts of things in this Galaxy Virtual World. There"s fun to be had!
They soon arrived on the outskirts of the forest. An elf-like young girl with light purple skin and pointy ears sat on the ground. She looked at Hong Dali and the others and said, “Respected warrior, please help us defeat the evil ice-type mage Herazl. Save my companions. Uh uh uh!”
This poor thing…
Hong Dali was the kindest. He nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes. No problem!”
Into the forest, the people under Fang Han"s Thunderbolt Dynasty a.s.sembled and stood neatly in a group. The first person stood three meters tall, had dark green skin and wore steel armor. Once he saw Fang Han approaching, he respectfully said, “Young Master, all three thousand people who are partic.i.p.ating in this operation have a.s.sembled. Please give your instructions.” As he said that, he looked at Hong Dali who was standing beside and asked curiously, “These are…”
“Adamu, didn"t I say to call me President in the virtual world?” Fang Han frowned slightly before saying, “These are friends that I just met. They"re here to look around.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Although he agreed, this Adamu was clearly simple-minded. “Should we go in now? Young Master"s friends…”
“I said to call me President. Don"t call me Young Master!” Fang Han stomped on Adamu"s foot angrily. “If you get it wrong again, I"ll punish you to face the wall for one month!”
“Yes, Young… President.” Luckily, he didn"t get it wrong again. Otherwise, he would have to face the wall when they got back… Adamu replied, “Are President"s friends going in as well? It"s dangerous.”
“We"ll go in together. I get along with them quite well.” Fang Han nodded slightly. “Anyway, even if they die inside, there"s no loss. Just take it that they"re here for fun.” That was true. Anyway, Hong Dali and the others wouldn"t need to take any potions. They would just wander around the outskirts. There was no loss if they died. They would just return to the city. No loss.
“Okay.” Adamu walked over to Hong Dali and bowed respectfully. “President"s friends, don"t run about when you go in. The mage is very powerful.” What he meant was for them not to destroy their formation. After all, the wizard"s magic range was very large. If a large group died because of them, it would be bad.
Hong Dali and the others understood and nodded.
After all, Fang Han had already done them a favor by agreeing to bring them along. They should not hinder their battle. It wouldn"t be nice.
Three thousand people were almost like a small military troop. As they walked in, Fang Han asked, “Have you changed to the equipment that I asked you to prepare earlier? How is it?”
“Yes, we have changed it.” Adamu held back his laughter as he lifted the equipment. “Our luck is really good. The tooth from the Mid City-level Typhoon Silver Wolf that we killed previously was indeed a high-level weapon material. I specially asked people to make a pair of Wolf-tooth Arm Armor and its attributes are quite good.”
“Oh? Wolf-tooth Arm Armor? Let me see.” Fang Han took over a pair of large steel armor and said with satisfaction, “Wolf-tooth Arm Armor, excellent quality. Attack: 25-28, Strength: +13, Agility: +11. There are also three inlay jacks, its attacks are not bad.”
Hong Dali asked Tang Long softly, “It seems like the attributes are so-so. That is considered not bad?”
“Of course,” Tang Long commented. “The beasts in the virtual world are cla.s.sified as the most common Urban-level, Town-level, Small City-level, Mid City-level, Big City-level, Main City-level, and Planet-level. Seven levels in total. Using materials from Mid City-level beasts, such attributes are considered not bad. If you"re lucky to kill a Main City-level beast, that would be like striking the lottery. The materials could be sold for a few million.”
“Materials from Main City-level beasts could be sold for a few million?” Hong Dali touched his nose. “How about Planet-level?”
“Planet-level beasts?” Tang Long sneered. “That is in the range of tens of millions. You don"t have to think about it. Planet-level beasts cannot be killed without tens of thousands of people.”
Speaking of Planet-level beasts, he rode on one previously. It was so-so…
“Is the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger a Planet-level beast?” Hong Dali asked curiously.
Planet-level beasts could not be killed without tens of thousands of people? But the strength of the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger didn"t look like much…
