114: Monster Siege Event Planning

Lin Chuan returned to the entrance of the Secret Realm and said to the System in his heart: "System, start implementing the Monster Siege event plan."

The next moment, everyone inside the Secret Realm heard the System's mechanical announcement.

【The Monster Siege event is coming in hot, officially starting tomorrow.】

【On the streets of Heatonmar, countless monsters are invading the city. Adventurers, please stop the monsters.】

【The monsters invading Heatonmar this time are divided into four Ranks: Normal, Elite, Vanguard, and Lord.】

【Event Gameplay: After the Monster Siege begins, killing monsters on the streets will earn Merit Points. Killing Normal Rank monsters grants 1 Merit Point, Elite Rank monsters grant 5 Merit Points, and Vanguard Rank monsters grant 10 Merit Points. A team that accumulates 500 Merit Points will earn the qualification to challenge the Lord monster.】

【Event Rewards: One: Universal Reward. Within a limited time, if all Adventurers in the Secret Realm kill over 50,000 monsters in total, everyone will receive a Monster Siege revival coin Gift Pack (with a chance to obtain 2~50 coins).】

【Event Rewards: Two: Individual Rewards. After killing monsters, the monsters have a chance to drop various supplies, gold coins, cards, Intelligence Books, and other Materials. Teams that successfully challenge the Lord Rank monster will receive additional massive rewards, including a Siege Lord Artifact Pocket (which can open to reveal a Lord Artifact equipment suitable for one's own Rank).】

【The top three teams with the most monster kills will each receive an additional Siege Lord Artifact Pocket.】

【After the event ends, you can exchange Intelligence Books for rewards at Kelli's place.】

【The event officially starts at noon tomorrow and lasts for five days, with two hours of event time each day.】

Once this event announcement came out, the entire Secret Realm was in an uproar.

The Cultivators inside the Secret Realm hurriedly passed the news to their friends and family who were not currently in the Secret Realm.

"Oh my god, are these event rewards too generous? Can we actually obtain a Lord Artifact?" said a Fighter wearing a white Daoist robe.

"The rewards are indeed generous, but I guess those Lord Rank monsters won't be that easy to defeat," said another Cleric.

"Even if we can't get a Lord Artifact, if we kill more monsters, the revival coins in the universal rewards are very tempting. What if we open 50 of them? That's 5000 Spirit Stones!" a Gunner nearby said.

"You are all wrong. Didn't you see what it said at the end? Even if we can't beat the Lord monster, if we collect more Intelligence Books, we can go to Kelli to exchange for rewards. I estimate that the Lord Artifact pocket can also be exchanged," another Mage said.

"Hehe, Junior Sister, you are still the smart one. Let's go, hurry up and notify Senior Brother. We will participate on time at noon tomorrow, don't miss it!" said another Ghost Swordsman.

At this moment, Li Rufeng, who had just come out of the Thunder Ruins, was completely confused and muttered to himself: "How did this kid manage to do this? He can make changes to the Secret Realm without requiring everyone to log out? Is this kid really the foolish disciple I took in back then?"

"No, I must quickly improve my strength, and then I must find an opportunity to meet this kid alone. If all of this was accomplished by this kid himself, I'm afraid only he can do that thing."

Thinking of this, Li Rufeng picked up his long sword and turned back into the Dungeon Instance.

The Second Fool prince, who was counting the invitation letters he had purchased, heard the specific details of the event and stopped caring about how many gold coins he had spent. He directly asked Commander Ma: "How many of our army are currently over Rank 20?"

Commander Ma hurriedly replied: "Second Fool prince, there are currently less than 10,000 people over Rank 20."

"What? The 200,000-strong army has been in here for so long, and only 10,000 are over Rank 20?" the Second Fool prince said angrily.

"Second Fool prince, you can't say that. They have to take turns entering the Secret Realm and still have to mine gold coins for you. Having 10,000 people is already a lot," Commander Ma said, feeling aggrieved.

"I don't care! Send the order down, stop taking turns, everyone get in here and level up. After tomorrow's event starts, our royal family must collect more Intelligence Books!" said the Second Fool prince.

"This... Yes!" Commander Ma hesitated for a moment, bowed his head, and agreed.

Xiao Hongyuan and her three companions, who had just killed a purple Goblin, were sitting on the ground recovering their status and also heard the news of the event.

"Hehe, looks like we can exchange for some equipment," Jian Wuxie laughed.

"What, are you so sure we can defeat the Lord Rank monster?" Xiao Hongyuan asked.

"I don't know if we can beat it, but when it comes to killing the most monsters, we should definitely have a share of that, right?" Jian Wuxie said proudly.

"There is always someone better than you, it's better not to speak so confidently," Xiao Hongyuan advised.

Quan Wudi interjected: "Except for that Second Fool prince, I guess no one can compete with our team. After all, our Rank is considered to be leading."

A Fei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "How many supplies do you have left?"

"Hmm? Still quite a lot, why?" Xiao Hongyuan was puzzled as to why A Fei asked this now.

"We just finished five rooms, and I found that my supplies are being consumed too quickly," A Fei replied.

Once he said this, the other three hurriedly looked at the potions in their packs and all said: "You're right, compared to usual, it is indeed being consumed a bit faster."

Quan Wudi said disdainfully: "Is it? How come I didn't feel that?"

"Alright, there's no point in discussing this now, let's keep moving up," Xiao Hongyuan said.

A Fei stood up and picked up the badge dropped by the Goblin after it died. After taking a look, his expression was a bit strange.

Quan Wudi saw A Fei's expression and asked: "What's wrong?"

A Fei smiled and said: "Do you know what is written on that Goblin's badge?"

Seeing the three of them shake their heads, A Fei said: "Its badge says — General Yiai!"

Jian Wuxie laughed after hearing this: "What? That Goblin is a General?"

Quan Wudi mocked: "It seems that Bakkar isn't that smart either, actually letting a Goblin be a General."

Although Xiao Hongyuan also wanted to laugh, she still said: "However, this Goblin is indeed much stronger than the others."

"Alright, let's continue. I still can't believe a Goblin can be a General, haha," Jian Wuxie said.

The four entered the sixth room, where the monsters were still guards, just more numerous.

Xiao Hongyuan, without waiting for those guards to surround them, directly activated Army Breaker Rising Dragon Strike, charged into the group of guards while tanking the attacks, and knocked all those guards down.

Then, she lowered her head slightly, held the hilt of the sword at her waist with one hand, shouted fiercely, and swung her light sword rapidly.

Jian Wuxie and the others only felt something flash with Xiao Hongyuan as the center, and couldn't see clearly.

Those guards seemed to have suffered some heavy damage; the armor at their waists shattered, and many guards directly turned into white light and disappeared.

The remaining few guards were also knocked away by the tremendous force and were all eliminated by Jian Wuxie, who stepped forward to finish them off.

"What was that just now?!" Quan Wudi asked.

Xiao Hongyuan smiled slightly and said: "It's a skill, called Quick Draw Slash!"

"This speed is too fast, and the damage is so high," Jian Wuxie said.

PS: (When introducing Xiao Hongyuan's new skill earlier, I actually forgot about Quick Draw Slash. My fault. Adding it here. Thanks for the reminder, everyone.)
