Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

Chapter 66 The Ancient Outer Gods Hold a Grand Meeting, Hell Dungeon

There's a lot of information, so Bai Xi is going to go through it one by one.

Ktugya, Bai Xi certainly recognized him, a famous Old One, Nyarlathotep's mortal enemy, and the ruler of Fomalhaut.

I just don't know how they ended up ruling this neighborhood.

Moreover, the event started with the names of the Great Old Ones, and Bai Xi felt that something was not quite right.

Bai Xi scratched his head and decided to open the map to check the situation first.

So, click on the details map.

Then, Bai Xi felt that she had gone blind.

"Holy crap! Bubble, what kind of scheme did you set up for me?!"

Looking at the map, Bai Xiren was dumbfounded.

Overall, the map layout is very clear. In the center is a large and prosperous sunset city, with another large map in the southeast, northwest, and southwest.

To the east is the End Spiral, to the south is the Endless Sea, to the west is the Black Forest, and to the north is a bunch of place names, like Purgatory, Valhalla, and Mount Olympus.

But what made Bai Xi feel like she was going blind was the words on it.

Endless Sea Cthulhu, Final Spiral Gherros, Purgatory Shubnigs...

Even more outrageous is the interior of Sunset City, where the name changes almost every step you take.

Bai Xi is currently in the Ktugya district. Just two steps up is Lake Geragi, with a Nyarlathotep Temple on one side and an Ig's Nest on the other.

Counting outwards, there are more than a dozen cities and regions of varying sizes, all of which are specifically labeled with their names.

Aside from the Black Forest being suffixed with "???", everyone else is either an Old One or an Outer God. At the very least, they must be a great being or an Old God.

It was absolutely dazzling, enough to blind Bai Xi. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a gathering of wise men, or at least a gathering of the most virtuous.

You mean, in this ridiculous event, each area corresponds to an Outer God or an Old One?

Is this even possible?

For a moment, Bai Xi felt immense pressure and the deep malice of this damn game.

However, he soon came to terms with it.

Anyway, the host is Bubble, so there should still be some fairness and impartiality. No matter what, it won't be a situation where there's no fun left.

The most urgent task should be to prepare for the decisive battle in three days, find a way to become a qualified participant, and incidentally eliminate the opponents.

Honestly, I think it's already unfair that he didn't nerf you so badly you couldn't even get into the game; letting someone like you, who looks like something out of D&D, into the game is practically divine.

KP glanced at Baek Hee's card and couldn't help but make this comment.

"What have I done? I earned all of this step by step through my own hard work and sweat!"

Hard work went unnoticed, but good luck was certainly visible; as for the sweat, it was all on the other person's face.

KP made a sharp comment, and Bai Xi rolled her eyes, deciding not to argue with him.

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Xi opened the communication with Jiang Lingyi to confirm the situation.

[Bai Xi: How's it going on your end? I got dumped in the Ktugya neighborhood, what about you?]

On the other side, Jiang Lingyi glanced at the players who had just been killed beside her, thought for a moment, and typed a reply:

Jiang Lingyi: It's alright, everything's normal. I've killed a few players, the leveling progress bar is halfway done, and I'm heading to the supply depot.

[Jiang Lingyi: I should be almost at Tuerzcha's farm. It's still a bit far from where you are. Let's meet up after I get my supplies.]

After reading this string of messages, Bai Xi pondered for a moment.

Then he revealed the expression of an old man using a cell phone on the subway.

[Bai Xi: What are all these?]

[Jiang Lingyi: Didn't you even read the game mechanics?]

Faced with Jiang Lingyi's soul-searching question, Bai Xi honestly gave his answer:

[Bai Xi: I didn't see it. Where's the tutorial? Where's the beginner's guide?]

Jiang Lingyi: Speechless. Never mind, I'll tell you.

Thus, with Jiang Lingyi's clear and concise explanation, even Bai Xi was able to understand it.

There are two core mechanics in this game. The first is the shooting star that just streaked across the sky, which can be simply referred to as a supply replenishment.

Supply drops are distributed daily in the form of meteors, scattered throughout the map. These meteors are categorized into four levels based on their color: white, blue, purple, and red.

You can open the supply crate half an hour after obtaining it. The red supply crate will highlight the location of the holder within a one-kilometer radius. The highlighting will only be removed after the crate is opened.

Opening supply crates has a chance to yield various support items and even weapons; there's even a chance to get permanent item cards. Whether you can get "qualifications" is unclear.

According to Jiang Lingyi's guess, there should be one.

The second core mechanism is the ranking system.

Bai Xi saw his level 1 before he even entered. In fact, that's what it is.

Killing NPCs during the event grants a small amount of experience, while killing players grants a large amount of experience. Leveling up grants random enhancements and allows you to craft specific builds.

It can be considered a way to improve a player's strength. Theoretically speaking, it's not impossible to eventually reach the final level and directly confront the old ones.

After all, the official explanation is that this is a blessing from Yog-Sothoth.

The current level cap is unknown, as no one has started leveling up yet. Based on Jiang Lingyi's current leveling speed, she estimates the fastest she can reach level 100 is before she becomes the first red-tier player.

Only when the supply lines are opened can someone upgrade.

Equipment and level, in a sense, are the factors that determine a player's skill level in this event. The initial strength of a card determines the early-game advantage more.

Of course, we're not talking about Bai Xi, whose output is so unbalanced that it's almost like he's from another planet.

[Bai Xi: So, does that mean we've gone from tabletop role-playing games to battle royale MOBA games?]

[Jiang Lingyi: What a bizarre interpretation. Oh well, whatever you think is fine with me.]

[Jiang Lingyi: Our cards are relatively strong initially. Let's take advantage of this and try to get as many high-level supply boxes as possible to expand our advantage.]

[Jiang Lingyi: After I'm fully developed, I'll get down to business, find out the background of this event, and then get the qualifications.]

[Bai Xi: Okay, let's meet up once we get a supply crate and head to Nyarlathotep's Temple, how about that?]

Jiang Lingyi: Okay. Let's get started.

So, Bai Xi closed the chat channel and glanced in the distance, catching a glimpse of thick smoke rising from it.

He remembered that a red light had just flown into the room, which meant a fight had started.

"The target has been selected, let's go."

So, accompanied by a low murmur, Bai Xi held the sacrificial knife in his left hand and the colorful blade in his right, and took a step forward in that direction.

At the same time, Bai Xi felt a headache coming on when he saw pedestrians on the roadside starting to attack him.

So they weren't friendly after all.

With a sweep of the dazzling blade, high damage instantly empties the opponent's health bar.

Bai Xi raised his eyelids and discovered that Serpes's sacrificial knife contained some additional will.

Around 40 points?

The experience gained is pitifully small; killing one doesn't even give you one percent of the experience bar.

Bai Xi glanced at the enemies rushing towards him like a tidal wave and smiled.

"Alright, now you know how to farm 1000 Willpower."

Then, the dazzling blade shone brightly, and Bai Xi charged through the sea of ​​monsters, rushing towards the direction where the red meteor had fallen.

Thus, with the ferocity of a wild beast, it roared towards the bloody battlefield!
