Crimson Moon Town, Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
The sudden announcement for the New Year limited-time event, Outer Domain City, sent every player in the martial arts hall into a frenzy of excitement. New players complained bitterly, wondering what kind of event this was when only Core Disciples could participate. It had absolutely nothing to do with pure newcomers like them.
The old players, however, reacted in the complete opposite way. Every one of them had stars in their eyes.
"The devs are so generous! There's finally another event! I've finally endured my miserable days to the end."
"Exactly. These past few days, I, a dignified Bone Forging Realm martial artist, could only snatch one Lord Monster after half a day in the wilderness. At most, I could get three Lord Monsters a day. How am I supposed to live like this? Those points aren't even enough for me to play in the Martial Arts Room for a single day."
"You being Mid-stage Bone Forging Realm is already pretty good. I'm only Initial-stage Bone Forging Realm—that's what true misery looks like. I can't even snatch half a monster in the wilderness. Now I can only guard mining sites, digging ore while earning guard fees. It takes at least two days before I can return to Crimson Moon Town to improve myself. Life is simply too miserable. I really miss the old days, when monsters were everywhere and there was no need to fight over them. You could find them the moment you stepped outside, and every so often you'd run into robbers and make a little extra cash. That was the life!"
Looking at the limited-time event, many old players nearly wept.
