Join the strongest hero selection event now!
Upon entering the official homepage, Xiao Yu was startled by two huge announcement screens. After reading the promotional slogans, he had to admit that after so many years, the game company's promotional slogans were still so old-fashioned, but they were indeed quite impactful.
Below the two announcements are corresponding event descriptions. The strongest BOSS draft event is basically the same as what Dark Rod said, but the strongest hero draft event is a bit unexpected. This hero draft is not quite the same as the BOSS draft. The BOSS draft is based on strength, subordinates, and influence in the game.
The selection of heroes is based on their in-game experience. This activity is very simple and doesn't even require deliberate participation. Players simply need to apply to participate, and after applying, they will receive an "Eye of Omniscience" buff. This "Eye of Omniscience" is essentially a camera sprite that will record the player's entire in-game experience.
Once the event period ends, the game company will edit a promotional video based on the experience and write a novel based on that experience. All game players can watch the promotional video and the novel for free. Finally, based on the quality of the promotional video and the novel, as well as the hero's performance in the story, players will rate the heroes and select the ten most popular heroes.
Prizes ranging from tens of millions to millions of yuan can be won based on ranking.
It has to be said that this game company's event is quite surprising, but Xiao Yu's attention was still focused on the strongest BOSS event. Seeing that what Dark Rod said had come true, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he only needed to work hard to become the strongest BOSS in the game.
However, it's easy to imagine that once this announcement is released, the number of players using free templates such as monster templates, guard templates, and mercenary templates will explode. (Mercenary templates, guard templates, and soldier templates can be upgraded into hero templates, but the difficulty is extremely high).
He then opened the forum interface, where the atmosphere was indeed incredibly lively. Most of the comments about Sky Company's event were positive, but there were also some complaints.
Unrivaled Under Heaven: "How are we adventurer players supposed to survive like this?!"
The Unorthodox Ways, "Why not hold a 'Strongest Adventurer' event?"
Such opinions were numerous, but naturally, there were also those who refuted them.
I Am the Great Demon King: "If you're not convinced, then practice too."
Even Heroes Succumb to Beauty: "It's good that there are many people playing the monster template; that way, you guys can have more fun killing them!"
Besides these pointless flame war posts, there are also many experience-sharing posts.
[The Ultimate Boss Training Guide][My Monster Life][Dragon King Warrior: The Little Black's Survival Journey]
These kinds of posts get a lot of views, and many old posts have even been dug up by players.
However, the most common posts on the forum at this time were those recruiting male friends.
[Recruitment Announcement for the World-Destroying Dragon Clan: We, the World -World-Destroying Dragon Clan, are an evil force aiming to destroy the world. We have currently cultivated three adult dragons and over ten young dragons. We welcome friends from all walks of life who love Dragon Clan to join us.

Joining will give you followers to help you level up. Awesome, no explanation needed. If you are willing to join, add me to your contacts.]
Similar guild recruitment announcements are everywhere, completely taking up the bulletin board in the guild area, making it seem like the emergence of game guilds among monsters has become a foregone conclusion as the event becomes clearer.
However, unlike typical adventurer guilds that often emphasize fairness, unity, and reputation when recruiting, monster guilds usually prioritize their strongest boss. After all, in the monster world, strength reigns supreme, and a powerful boss leader is more convincing than anything else.
If Xiao Yu were still a three-skull-level Flame Demon Lord, he could probably easily summon several hundred underlings.
The competition is about to get fierce, and Xiao Yu deeply feels that time is running out.
While there were many players using the monster template in the past, they were mostly solo or casual players. However, with the introduction of the event, major studios and guilds have started to get involved, and the number of solo players has exploded. It's easy to imagine that the strongest boss this year will be hard to obtain.
However, this made him decide that he still had to play as elemental creatures. He had been struggling with which type of monster to choose, but after checking the forums, it seemed that the more prestigious the monster type, the more people would play it. If the world were full of dragons, fallen angels, and great demons, then even the prestigious ones would become unpretentious.
On the contrary, it seems that not many people play elemental creatures, and since I have experience with elemental creatures, plus the Seed of Elements, it seems that there is nothing to hesitate about.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Yu left the forum and prepared to enter the game.
At that moment, a message suddenly popped up.
Mephisto: "Hey bro, how's it going? Have you seen the announcement?"
Xiao Yu: "I've seen it."
Mephisto: "How about it, why don't you join me? I'm planning to start a guild and recruit a few of my old buddies. Madman and Old E have already agreed to join, so why don't you come too?"
Madman and Old E were both Xiao Yu's old friends. Madman was the leader of a Troll Horde, while Old E was a necromancer. Who knows what kind of trouble these three would get into if they got together?
Xiao Yu said, "Let's forget about it. My goal is to become the strongest BOSS. Joining a guild doesn't seem appropriate."
Mephisto: "Damn, bro, you've got guts! But are you sure?"
Xiao Yu: "I'm absolutely certain I need to be in the top three."
Mephisto seemed to sense his determination and didn't try to persuade him further. "Then I wish you Ma Dao Gong Cheng. If you really can make it into the top three, I'll be your underling."
"Okay, it's a deal then." Xiao Yu said without further hesitation and entered the game.
PS: I've finally decided to go for the elemental creature route. I already had the plot in mind, although I was thinking of giving the protagonist a fallen angel or Death Knight or something. But after thinking it over, I still think the plot I conceived before is the most classic. Once I write it down, it will be absolutely earth-shattering. Everyone, stay tuned!
