Everyone cheered as one server-wide announcement after another rang out. This city defense quest had been far too difficult. Without help from the other main cities, they would never have held out. The death toll for the quest had exceeded eighty million, with many players dying several times. Fortunately, the system had awarded everyone a level, making up for a good portion of their losses. Those who had never died and those on the kill leaderboard were undoubtedly the biggest winners.
Including the level awarded by the system, even someone as high-level as Wu Shaozhen had gained a full five levels from the quest, reaching Lv. 44: 1.14 million/11 million.
He checked the Level Rankings. The quest had completely shaken up the rankings.
1st: Dustseal, level 44 Assassin. 2nd: Yu Fei, level 38 Archer. 3rd: Fate Begins, level 38 Mage. 4th: Xue'er, level 37 Mage. 5th: Jun Lin, level 37 Archer. 6th: Heartless Romance, level 37 Mage. 7th: Divine King, level 37 Warrior. 8th: Heaven-Burning, level 36 Mage. 9th: Endless Autumn Moon, level 36 Mage. 10th: God Lord, level 36 Warrior.
Aside from Dustseal and the two Warriors, everyone in the top ten of the Level Rankings was a Mage or Archer. This quest had brought Mages and Archers to prominence. Even Divine King, who had always held a spot in the top three, had fallen to seventh.
Ah, too bad Ziyin was in class. Otherwise, she probably could have gained several levels too. Looks like I need to find a way to get her to give up her studies. Who knows when game abilities will carry over into reality? The game will matter most in the future, Wu Shaozhen thought.
``` Ding! Congratulations on placing first on the kill leaderboard for this quest. For your outstanding performance,
