Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1443 - 373: Regional Momentum, Traces of Old Friends (3)

Many players determine their future growth direction at the Ah Le Training Camp.During endless battles, they clarify which profession and gameplay they are best suited for, and many creative ideas are conceived here and only implemented after graduation.

The hidden villain, Lord of Jile, is also the most popular character on the player forum.

Ah Le’s endless innovation spirit brings not only joy but also substantial benefits to players.

Besides the Ah Le Training Camp, there is also a lesser-known play style called the "Jile Player Flow."

This involves entering the Death Space, challenging the illusion dungeons created by Ah Le, and returning to the Monster World after graduation.

This stage is also called the Evil Demon stage.

One can receive intelligence tasks from Ah Le to grow quickly.

The outstanding ones can receive rule-derived imprints bestowed by Ah Le, becoming wanderers in the world, making profits through the "Mobile Entertainment City" model.

From the low-end beginner training camp to the high-end Jile Player Flow gameplay, Ah Le provided multiple development options for players.

It can be considered a strategic partner of the player faction.

The Eternal Silence Ice Lake, Earthquake Coast, and Sand-breaking Spear are all scenes for pure newcomers.

Currently, there is no outstanding gameplay performance, nor has any potential guild organization been formed.

The extent of scene exploration and development is far less than the previous scenes.

As for the once-popular Frost Winter Snowfield and Cave World, they’ve long become the past in players’ hearts and an unforgettable memory.

Cave World was occupied by the Blue Lantern Clan, transforming into the current Adventurer World.

The blind-box play style turned into a dungeon gameplay where players can freely choose.

The Frost Winter Snow Region was the same, with the Ah Le Training Camp having long moved to the new campus in Illusion Spirit Wilderness for reconstruction, and the once frequently mined "Void Peak Node" by players has already been successfully contained.

Now, this area has lost all its excitement, with only Exploration Faction players occasionally still active in this region.

In the eyes of players, the Frost Winter Snow Region can now be seen as an external extension of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

After all, these two areas have long been completely connected by the Earth Thought Bully.

After thoroughly reviewing the comprehensive income, player activity numbers, and gameplay popularity of different areas, Qi Sheng retrieved the Life Soul Library.

Currently, the number of contained Life Souls has reached 198.

Every profession can develop multiple play styles.

The most popular Magic System stream includes Magic Tower Stream, Perception Missile Flow, Elemental Explosion, Elemental Domain, and Magic God Tyrant, etc.

Even the Pet Flow, which is primarily focused on controlled Life Souls, can be categorized as a Magic System stream rather than Summoning Stream.

After all, their essence is different, with "summoning" being the core of the latter, while the essence of control is guided by spiritual strength in a half-magic school.

The Damage-taking stream gameplay also has several streams, including the Tank Meteor Vein built around stone-statue ghosts and rock shields, and the Rage Kill Stream constructed around "savings" Life Souls, focusing on absorbing damage and charging for an outburst.

There are clear differences in strength and battlefield positioning between the streams within each profession.

Qi Sheng arranged a ranking of professional strength through indicators such as professional discussion popularity, selection numbers, sacrificial power output, and war performance.

The Magic System still occupies the top position.

After viewing all the data information provided by Guidance, Qi Sheng began formulating the next direction for faction development.

Among them, the yet-to-be-completed "Momentum" will be the focus of the next update.

This feature allows players to skip the process of understanding, directly learning the combat style of "Emotional Combat Power."

However, there are still many issues pending resolution at the current stage, mostly due to insufficient sacrificial power reserves, unable to support large-scale research and development.

Including the injury repair issues of the Four Gods, the current sacrificial power output from the player faction is also insufficient.

While Qi Sheng was contemplating the grand direction of the next update, a feedback from Guidance directed his gaze towards the Earthquake Coast area.

...

Earthquake Continent, southern coast.

From a high altitude, the coastline resembles a faded ribbon gnawed away by gray fog, lying on the contour line of the southernmost tip of Earthquake Continent.

The eternally lingering toxic fog weighs heavily between the coastline and the horizon, filtering the blue sky into a turbid lead gray, with sunlight only appearing as a few faint spots floating within the fog layer.

During high tide, the moment the sea recedes, a path of dark reefs extends from the ruins beneath the sea to the shore.

These sea paths, constructed from piles of black reefs, are jagged and will be mercilessly swallowed by the sea during the next high tide.

Further afield on the sea surface, the gray fog is torn open by giant waves from time to time, revealing the blue-black backs of sea beasts.

This is the new map opened after issuing qualifications for this round.

The Earthquake Coast’s popularity is far less than that of the Sand-breaking Spear, the reason being the harsh environment here.

Newcomers operating here are in a poisoned state every minute and second, continuously losing health.

In the early stage, most players are reluctant to purchase recovery potions from the store, causing each outing to be a death countdown, ultimately completing life replenishment through Soul Return to Emperor Zhao and starting over.

At this moment, Ji Chen, wearing a moon-white long robe, stands in the mist over the coastline, buoyed by telekinesis.

Below is a half-finished Spatial Array.

With brain overclocking and Spiritual Eyes attribute simultaneously activated, the energy operation trajectory of the Array clearly presents itself in Ji Chen’s mind.

Personally learning to set up a Spatial Array truly makes him feel troubled.

The amount of knowledge required is overwhelming, and he dedicates his energy to it in addition to hunting every day.

After half a year, he’s still only grasped a smattering of Space Science.

He has considered seeking help from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce’s professional space team, but the location he intends to teleport to is the "Black Domain" mentioned by Guidance, where the space strength is firm and ordinary Space Transmission Arrays cannot tear across it.

Thus, he needs to master more advanced Space Science knowledge to construct special types of Space Transmission Arrays.

The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce’s space team has yet to venture into this field.

Having no alternative, he can only learn himself.

Recently, he started an attempt at construction, but a series of difficult problems have arisen during practice.

Despite his eagerness, he knows he can only solve all this on his own.

All these efforts stem from an answer he received when he asked the Star Network.

Being an old antique from Earth, he had survived for over 200 years in the otherworldly and always had an older brother who was both teacher and friend in his heart.

Its name was Dragon Descendant.

After obtaining player status and understanding the background of Monster World, he recalled the words Dragon Descendant once said.

It expressed the desire to climb the highest peak with its clansmen and witness the most magnificent scenery in a world of infinite possibilities.

This sparked his imagination, prompting him to inquire of Guidance, asking if there was a possibility Dragon Descendant was now in the Monster World.

While Guidance showed impatience, it still provided him with a definite answer, spitting out one word:

[Present.]
