In Fire Cloud Cave, Yang Ling and Zhao De stood before the sea of magma, waiting quietly.
This time, he had not entered as a Primordial Spirit. He had followed Zhao De along another route.
There were only five minutes left before registration for the main quest closed.
The attribute panel showed the total number of players registered for each of the four choices.
Crown Prince: 988995 Second Prince: 109281 Third Prince: 120817 Fourth Prince: 70955
There are five minutes left. Plenty of players are probably still deciding whether to sign up, so the numbers should rise by at least another ten percent before registration closes.
Almost a million have chosen the Crown Prince.
Yang Ling was not surprised.
Had he been in their position, with no one to warn him, he might have chosen the Crown Prince too. After all, there was a chance of succeeding while idling.
These days, it was already hard to score an easy win.
How much harder would it be for players with little say and little strength?
Most players believe none of these four choices will let them truly get involved.
That's why they're taking a gamble, choosing the Crown Prince and idling. If they win, they get rewards for nothing. If they lose, they only lose fifty percent of their attributes.
I'd guess nearly a million of these players have fewer than fifteen attribute points. Even losing half would still be acceptable.
Some of the players who chose the Fourth Prince are probably gamblers too, with low attributes. They figure a loss is just a loss, and they won't lose many attribute points anyway. But if they win, they'll get an SSS reward.
Well, they're in luck this time.
