Everyone throughout the Ancient Miracle was still locked in fierce battle. Especially on the fourth floor, just as the major superpowers were preparing to join forces against the newly spawned Icefire Two-Headed Earth Dragon, a crisp system notification left everyone stunned.
Ancient Miracle Regional System Announcement: A player has successfully entered the Ancient City. From now on, the trial difficulty for players entering the Ancient City after the first 500 each day will increase by 30%. For those after the first 1,000, the difficulty will increase by 50%.
The system notification rang three times in a row, deeply engraving itself in everyone's minds.
"How did Zero Wing enter the Ancient City so quickly?"
"The difficulty increases after the first 500 people enter the Ancient City?"
Upon hearing the system notification, the upper echelons of the various superpowers on the fourth floor of the Ancient Miracle all darkened.
They had already understood from the system notification that there was no limit on the number of people who could enter the Ancient City; one simply had to pass the trial. However, Zero Wing, which had previously entered the fifth floor of the Ancient Miracle, had brought over 800 people. If entering the Ancient City was not particularly difficult, it meant that Zero Wing would occupy all of the first 500 spots.
The result would be that the trials faced by their players entering the Ancient City afterward would become harder. Players who might originally have barely passed would fail due to the increased difficulty, indirectly reducing the number of players from their superpowers who could enter the Ancient City.
This made the major superpowers even more eager to reach the fifth floor.
As soon as the system announcement appeared, news of Zero Wing Guild entering the Ancient City quickly spread
