Version 2.0 About to Begin (Bonus Chapter for Solimans, 3)

William's return to Storm Island means the backbone of Dawn City has finally returned.

The 1.0 version Open Beta has been running for 9 months. He no longer wanders around aimlessly. Instead, he stays on Storm Island, organizing people to develop resources in an orderly manner every day.

10th month.

In a valley 18 kilometers southeast of Storm Town, someone discovered Mana Crystal Vein. William then designated it Forbidden Land and did not excavate it.

Similarly, someone also discovered a Gold Essence Vein and a Gold Mine!

The road between Storm Town and the mine has been connected, and the mining work has begun. The adorable Orc miners skillfully carry high-quality pickaxes and shovels, and come to mine with great pride and high spirits!

Many Player were nearly stunned when they saw the Orc miners' orderly ranks.

But when the miners' leader appeared.

Only then did the Player finally shut up.

They're Orc too!

And they're all High-Class, Grandmaster-Class orc Orc!

Indeed, while William was sending Troll to other places, he had already begun to win over some Orc who wanted to join him.

After all, the Gods Continent is full of wonders, and the Orc has the most members, so it is best to use their own kind to guard their own kind.

Because those Orc who submitted to the fold often beat their kin even more severely when they saw them slacking off.

William wasn't worried that these people would run away or defect, since they were only responsible for guarding the mine and were not allowed to leave the mine. There were usually patrol teams nearby.

at the same time.

William formed the Blade Cavalry Regiment].

He personally went to Storm Lake, had Horse King summon all his underlings, and ordered the Knight to conquer them one by one...

Of these, 1,500 Elf who formed light cavalry, and the other 1,500 were humans who formed heavy cavalry.

This doesn't mean that heavy cavalry will necessarily be sent to their deaths.

The only difference is that the Elf light cavalry can kite enemies and shoot more accurately, while the heavy cavalry suffers more casualties...

The equipment of the heavy cavalry was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Those 1,500 heavy cavalrymen, whether it was their horses or their own equipment, were all mid-level Gold Set!

1,500 Gold Gear cavalrymen, all mounted on Mid-Tier Monster, would create an unimaginable impact if they were to unleash their full power.

They were also the only 1,500 people in all the Legion of Dawn City, and the 1,500 people with the most expensive equipment!

In summary

Legion with more expensive equipment are often in greater danger and have a higher chance of dying in battle.

The Open Beta for 11 months.

Four Legion are stationed on Storm Island, with 1,300 of them having broken through to the intermediate level.

William has once again dispatched four more Legion to Storm Island!

The [Blade Cavalry Regiment] was successfully formed. Under the coercion and enticement of Little Horse King, a total of 3,000 Thunder Warhorse were humiliatingly made into mounts.

More than 2,000 Thunder Warhorse still live on the grasslands surrounding Storm Lake, but most of them are happy mares.

William, too lazy to take the Little Horse King with him, released it, letting it continue to be a happy little stallion, thus providing himself with more warhorses.

The defensive fortifications on the cliff face were completely completed, and all the steep mountain roads except for the five that led directly to Dawn City were destroyed!

The Old District, where William lived, also had a sturdy wall built more than half a meter high on the edge of the cliff!

The Glory Legion, which had been stationed at the Orichalcum Vein for a long time, withdrew.

The new Legion will head to the top.

There is no time span between versions 1.0 and 2.0.

At this very moment.

Only one month until the Dark Invasion!

Disaster is imminent!

Within the Dawn City.

Player gather in small groups, some spending all day in the Gladiator Arena dueling, grinding away for hours on the God of War Rankings.

After all, the God of War Rankings only provides data for the top 100.

If you can make it into the top ten each season, you will not only receive equipment, materials, and gems, but also a Glory title that temporarily increases your attributes.

Such a dazzling title is truly a must-have for street-street Player.

Most top-tier Player have reached level 40, but since version 2.0 is not yet available, they cannot level up further.

But as everyone knows, the 2.0 version is about to be Open Beta, so many wealthy Player rushed to the Dwarf Blacksmith to order a full set of mid-tier gold equipment, or ordered Gold Weapon first.

As for the Godly Tycoon Squad, they must be fully equipped with Gold Gear, and the weapons they order are either Dark Gold or Epic!

The Mercenary Group Contribution Points are not exchanged for anything; they are only exchanged for Epic Secret Manual or even Legendary Secret Manual after reaching the intermediate rank!

But that's how wealthy Player play.

Ordinary Player certainly have other methods!

First, complete all the daily missions assigned by the Mercenary Group, and don't forget to spin the free Little Wheel and Big Wheel every week. If you get lucky, you might even get a Gold Gear or Epic item, wouldn't that be amazing?

Secondly, you must spend the daily purchase limit, with Double Experience Pill being the key. As for other items such as equipment, items, etc., it depends on whether you have enough money.

Thirdly, the two Dungeon Crystal can only be used twice per day.

In the Mist Valley, you can farm dark materials, which can then be sold to NPCs in the Dark Hall.

The Dawn City Counterattack was a battle of Dawn Fortress, and it yielded a lot of Blue-Quality equipment, materials, and even military supplies, all of which can be sold for a good price.

If you can defeat the final boss, there is a very small chance of getting Epic, and a very large chance of getting Gold Gear!

It's almost fair to say that the reason why Player in Dawn City don't lack equipment is because the drop rate in this dungeon is very high!

Although the chances of dying are higher.

But you don't lose your equipment if you die in a dungeon!

Fourth, you must save up the Contribution Points of the Dawn Mercenary Group. Most people can exchange for two or three pieces of Silver Gear after entering the intermediate level. In addition, you can also exchange for some Silver Gear by using the battlefield points from the Slaughter Battlefield.

So!

As long as you can liver!

Once you reach the intermediate level, a full set of Silver Gear is a breeze.

As for socketing gems and enchanting equipment?

Isn't this something Player can do?

For Commoners Player to achieve this, they'll have to grind like crazy!

Player have no idea what version 2.0 is about.

But some observant people have already noticed some clues!

For example, Dawn City has been continuously expanding its Legion, from 5 legions to 12 Regular Army and 6 Reserve Legion.

You could even say that...

Aside from their inferior equipment, those six Reserve Legion were also composed of Professional capable of being deployed to the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the entire Dawn City was operating at full speed, with large quantities of high-quality equipment being delivered to the Legion. Many Player were even using cheap, discarded items that the Legion had phased out!

Some of the locations in these districts have already been vacated.

Some buildings were demolished.

It seems that some large equipment is to be placed in those open spaces.

The north side of the Old District originally had no city walls, but now some low defensive structures have been built.

All of this indicates that Dawn City is preparing for war, or at least a defensive one.

Some team members from the Glory Club were having a small gathering at this time.

A dozen or so of them arrived in the Old District and sat in the Pavilion in the Central Square eating and drinking. Chu Liuqiu, who was among them, looked to the north and suddenly said, "What is it that makes Dawn City so anxious? Putting aside everything else, just considering the superior terrain, the cliffs that are over eighty meters high are difficult for anyone to climb."

"I once secretly observed from below the cliff, and it seems there are some Underground Facilities beneath our feet, as well as various defensive structures set up on the cliff face. Could it be solely for defense against the Blackrock Duchy?"

The other team members fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Since His Prince disappeared for a month and returned to Stormwind, he had hardly shown his face.

He's busy all day long.

Some High-Class bosses have also vanished without a trace.

However, some Player discovered that many High-Class NPCs are training on Storm Island, seemingly preparing to break through to High-Class!

The High-Class bosses in Dawn City that have been confirmed include William, Lotner, Burning Ash, and Odom!

Two Legendary, two Epic!

What formidable fighting power!

Even so, Dawn City did not relax its vigilance in the slightest.

"I don't think they're defending against the Blackrock Duchy. Have you noticed that there seems to be a problem on the Grassland Battlefield? While many people are fighting for the high ground, they often see certain Dark Creatures appearing."

The NPC Legion that were originally close to the Slaughter Battlefield have also withdrawn their defensive lines, seemingly no longer wanting to continue the fight.

Changli Jiugu nodded suddenly. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Dark Creatures, I remember I once received a quest from His Your Highness about the Abandoned Demon Cavern, which is the instance of Mist Valley, and it used to be inhabited by thousands of Dark Creatures."

"And while browsing the Forum recently, it seems some Adventure teams have discovered a new Demon Cavern, right here on the grasslands."

"You're right, it's not just one new Demon Cavern, it's more than that." Little Ayin squinted her big eyes and continued, "You know the Godly Tycoon Squad, right?"

"Those nouveau riche?" Chu Liuqiu's lips twitched.

"It was those idiots who didn't care about money. They once ventured deep into the grasslands to explore, hoping to find some hidden quests. Guess what they found?"

"Many Murloc tribes were wiped out, and the ground was littered with the corpses of many Dark Creatures!"

Moreover, many Murloc tribes migrated westward to the grasslands. Not only Murloc, Gnoll, Orc —in short, all Intelligent Races on the eastern side of the Slaughter Plains, even Magical Beast beasts and wild animals—were migrating westward to the grasslands."

"Oh, so the Slaughter Battlefield was closed for a few days. So it was to give those guys a chance to move?" Changli Jiugu nodded in sudden realization. He was also a warmonger and usually liked to go to the battlefield to kill people and loot equipment.

As a result, when he happily ran over that day, he was stopped by an NPC who sternly warned him that if he rashly entered the Slaughter Battlefield and was killed, Dawn City would not be responsible.

Changli Jiugu had no interest in going to take a look, so she was unaware of that matter.

Because Dawn City has many Forbidden Land areas, which are heavily guarded by NPCs, any daring Player who goes in will not only be killed, but regardless of whether you discover any secrets, you will be instantly reduced to a level 10 alt!

Have you ever seen NPCs camping out respawn points and killing Player?

If you're killed in the Forbidden Land, you can resurrect in town, but a group of long-legged beauties wielding 40-meter-long swords are already waiting for you there!

Can we have sex?

Especially since the NPCs of Dawn City have done this more than once!

But no one spoke up for those Player who were killed and turned into low-level accounts. After all, if you insist on courting death, then you can't blame others for killing you.

If you're capable of spying on secrets, then you're truly impressive if you can avoid getting caught!

"Dark Creatures? An increase in the number of Demon Cavern? A retreat of the Slaughter Battlefield's defensive line? Dawn City strengthening its defenses and aggressively recruiting soldiers?" Chu Liuxiang linked all these things together!

His eyes suddenly lit up!

"I see!"

"What?" The team members stared wide-eyed at their captain. He was indeed quick-witted; had he figured something out?

"We absolutely must win the national championship in the official global tournament at the end of this month!" Chu Liuqiu stood up, raised his wine glass, and said in a deep voice.

"..." Everyone was speechless. A global competition, and you're going to win the national championship? That's incredibly exciting.

"Well, it's just that version 2.0 is about to be released. Everyone, just wait patiently, what's the rush?" Chu Liuqiu smiled awkwardly.

P. S.: I don't have any drafts saved up; I'm writing everything as it's being done. Version 2.0 is about to start, and I need to think things over, so updates will be slow. But I'll make up for it with extra chapters later. I'll take it slow...
