Chapter 396: 396, [High Priest]
Today, the Heavenly Dust forum is quite lively.
Unlike the usual trolling style, even though there’s still a lot of trolling content today, many posts seem more solemn and serious.
In the forum, there are videos of swords singing across the West State, and pictures of the myriad lights from different places in the Heavenly Dust Continent.
Concerning the special event of “Soul Returning”, players also discuss it on the forum.
There are still people playing with Internet memes and making jokes in the comments, but overall, it’s not as cheeky as before.
After all, Heavenly Dust is a game with a strong immersive experience, and everyone is more or less affected by it.
Moreover…a lot of the NPCs that died might be a player’s sect brothers or their masters.
Among them, quite a few popular NPCs fell in this battle, causing many players to lament.
“Sigh, this game feels like a real world, sometimes I wonder if these NPCs are really just a bunch of data?”
“Yeah, every character in the game seems so vivid. While the immersion is strong, it’s really upsetting when they die!”
“I have a friend who’s quite sentimental. She doesn’t care about her experience points when she plays and she’ll die for the NPCs. She’s lost several resurrections.”
“Always complaining, isn’t it just a game? What’s with all this forced sentimentality! A bunch of idiots!”
“People think differently. If you don’t take it seriously, no one says anything. Others have strong immersion, they regard them as heroes, what’s there for you to curse about?”
Upon closer browsing, it can be seen that there are quite a few posts in which the players trash each other.
At the same time, especially some professional players, are closely watching the rankings, especially the Contribution Points ranking.
Including some mainstream media related to the game, they’re also reporting on the changes in the rankings.
“Wow! My goddess Cai Jiangjiang has made the list! Long live white silk stockings!”
“She only ranked in the thirties. What’s there to brag about? Is a pretty anchor a big deal? Is tying ponytails a big deal? Is wearing a JK uniform and acting like a Lolita when streaming a big deal? Is having a soft voice a big deal? Yes, that’s a big deal! Jiangjiang is awesome!”
“I look at the Sword-Serving Children of the Purple Palace, except for that Mo Guanji, all of them have made it into the top fifty! That Li Zuole and Han Bagui are actually ranked first and third among the players!”
“Isn’t it! Having the Purple Palace as a backer, isn’t that different? Didn’t you see their leveling speed is faster than ours? I saw an interview with Li Zuole yesterday. In that article, Li Zuole praised the Purple Palace to the stars. I laughed, as if the Purple Palace could see that article.”
“Please, that’s true feelings, okay? And why are you all surprised! Open your eyes and see who is at the top of the ranking, see how many contribution points the Purple Palace has gained!”
“Exactly, back then everyone mocked Sword-Serving Children as a shameful title, now who doesn’t want to become a Sword-Serving Child of the Purple Palace?”
“I have calculated that the Purple Palace has gained 1739 points in the first foreign invasion!”
“Goodness, how many low-level foreign races did they kill, or did they kill high-level foreign races? Players together couldn’t achieve such high contribution points even if they added their points together!”
Yes, Lu Xun’s data on the leaderboard has now broken through to more than 25,000.
And the contribution points he can spend in the mall, have also increased to 15,000.
He is a one-man army, with a high kill rate, killing large numbers of foreigners in every major battle.
This means that as long as he gathers about another 5,000 contribution points, he can exchange another “Sword Dao Aptitude Point” in the Mall!
As for why Cai Jiangjiang and others have such high contribution points?
Because they came down the mountain with Lu Xun, and when the foreign races invaded, they hadn’t had time to rush back to the Eastern Region and were still in the Southern Territory, so they just rushed into the battlefield.
If they had already returned to the Eastern Region at that time, they wouldn’t have a place to get contribution points.
At present, they are at the edge of the Southern Territory and don’t know where to go, so they’re holding a mini meeting.
Li Zuole looked at everyone. As the most famous among the six and the notorious playboy, he was the first to speak: “Everyone should have no plans to return to the Eastern Region temporarily right? There’s no objection to this, right?”
It’s no secret that there are no foreign races in the Eastern Region. Eastern Region players have already posted countless posts on the forum, it can be said to be a lament.
No monsters to kill, it’s so miserable, I really want to be chopped by a foreign race girl.
Everyone nodded after hearing Li Zuole’s words.
“I think… how about staying in the Southern Territory?” Wang Gangtie suggested.
He didn’t want to run around randomly, fearing it would waste time on the road.
He was previously burned by the Soul Devouring Flame which used up all his resurrections and he lost so much experience points.
If it hadn’t been for Mo Guanji’s poor skills, making the killing efficiency extremely low, Wang Gangtie may have been the last among the bunch of Sword-Serving Children under Lu Xun on the ranking list.
Tying ponytails, typically cute as a steering wheel, Cai Jiangjiang sat there, raised her right hand to speak as if she was a primary school student raising her hand to answer a question in class: “I have something to say.”
“Hey, we’re all friends here, be straightforward, you’re not live streaming, we won’t send you a rocket.” Said Xiao Guangming.
Cai Jiangjiang swung her head, flicking her ponytail at him and said: “Don’t any of you want to go to West State?”
Everyone went silent upon hearing that.
As everyone knows, the Purple Palace is located in West State.
But although we are his Sword-Serving Children, we can’t contact him!
He can’t see the forum, and he can’t receive private messages. We also don’t have the money to send a flying sword letter…
Really, he didn’t even give us a chance to serve him!
“The best situation would definitely be to stay by the side of the Purple Palace, but what if we get to West State… and he left?” Li Zuole expressed his own opinion.
“I…I have a little immature suggestion.” Mo Guanji, rarely speaking, suggested.
Apart from him and Han Bagui, they are all professional players. Mo Guanji, this “Big Child”, usually just follows along and happily does stuff.
He rarely expresses his opinions, but his sudden remark attracted everyone’s attention.
