MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter-Chapter 760 - : 760

Chapter 760: 760

Li Yao gave a wry smile, “You seem to expect too much from me. I don’t see how I could influence the resource allocation among camps.”

The Queen put the sheepskin scroll onto the table, sauntered up to a map, and said, “Look at this, it’s a map of the new trial ground. It’s a battlefield designed by leaders of our three factions based on the distribution of various resources.”

Upon glancing at the map, Li Yao’s face immediately changed. He had not expected such significant changes in this world compared to his previous journey.

In his previous world, the trial ground was merely a place for leveling up, at most it was a site for guild trials on large battlefields. But now, looking at these segmented small maps, Li Yao understood what these small maps represented.

These were a number of small battlefields set for five on five, ten on ten, twenty-five on twenty-five, forty on forty, and one hundred on one hundred, respectively.

The rules for each battlefield differed from one another, there were many game modes just for ten-person battlefields.

...

For example, battlefields for seizing resources, for escorting goods, for capturing points, for breaching defense lines, and for capturing flags. Li Yao was deeply familiar with all these scenarios.

Especially in his previous journey when he was relatively weak, by gaining trial merits from the battlefield he could exchange for equipment and resources. More importantly, these battles honed his combat skills. Li Yao did not play for victory or defeat, he simply wanted to train his killing techniques. It was in these small battlefields that Li Yao gained his wealth of combat experience.

“Are these all resource points?” Li Yao asked.

The Queen nodded, “Yes, each of these represents a small battlefield. The rules and the resources they represent are different. In fact, these battlegrounds only represent a part, most of them are still undeveloped. But even these few have driven the three factions crazy. The Archangel doesn’t care, but his subordinates do, causing heated debates within the three factions, leading to internal conflicts.”

“Well, I’d be even less useful. I’m only a captain in the faction.” said Li Yao, raking his fingers through his hair nervously.

Currently, he had too many things on his plate, such as acquiring the Skill Book, and the mechanical pet. Then there was the Level 30 Beast God Trial; he could now summon five pets at once, so he had to prepare for his new mechanical pet. And he also needed to get some special equipment.

To be honest, although the stats of the Level 30 Marshal’s equipment were good, they were standard issue equipment. Li Yao was not much of a fan and wanted to get some unique sets.

His current stats and damage output were already quite high, so the standard equipment couldn’t improve his abilities significantly. On the other hand, equipment with unique features could.

The guild was also getting quite troublesome as it was about to upgrade to a small town, so he had to prepare material for military building constructions. Most importantly, the construction of a racetrack had to be carried out.

At that time, aside from purchasing various types of racing cars, Li Yao would have to figure out how to manufacture some himself. More importantly, he had to be personally involved in running the racetrack.

The Starfire Guild was not short of investors. Once the racetrack was built, the racing prizes might even be linked to real-world money, providing a major source of income for the guild.

Only when the races become popular can they attract spectators, and only then will the shops in the barracks prosper and the port can become lively. All of this was interconnected.

“I approached you because I have a purpose, let’s discuss this. We could decide the resource distribution through the performance and rankings of your recruits. Each resource point is marked with a serial number. The team that ranks a certain position could get the resource corresponding to that number. Also, it’s not the camp but the main city in which the team leader resides that will obtain these resources. The first resource obviously is the best, it’s a Void Crystal Mine. Everyone wants to get these mines, so it is ranked first. Your task is to form a team and take first place. I believe this would be a breeze for you.” The Queen stated casually.

Just when he heard these words…

Li Yao almost choked. How could this be easy? It’s the first place, for goodness sake. Soon enough, Li Yao realized.

This was not just a contest for resources among the three major factions, but more importantly, it was the first trial race of the Ancient God Competition.

Li Yao hurriedly opened the official forum and saw that there were already messages about this.

There were two types of trial races, individual races, and team races. In the future, most of the races would be best of five, which consisted of three team races and two individual races.

This was a trial and that’s why these two types of races were divided.

The team races would be conducted in the game’s night, while individual races would be conducted during the day.

Each district, including sub-districts under the main district, had their separate division. From tomorrow, each division would start their races and determine their standings.

For individual races, the top ten thousand from the main district and the top thousand from the sub-district would progress. For the team races, the top hundred from the main district and the top twenty from the sub-district would advance.

After that, they would move to the main division and compete for the final ranking.

Rewards for divisional races were in-game reputation or points, while the prize for the overall division was money.

For both individual and team races, the first place would receive the Ancient God’s Gold Cup, and a reward of 500,000 credit points. The second place would receive the Ancient God’s Silver Cup, with a reward of 300,000 credit points. The third place would receive the Ancient God’s Bronze Cup, with a reward of 100,000 credit points.

And those ranked from fourth to eighth would receive the Ancient God’s Seeding Card, with a reward of 50,000 credit points.

The top eight became the seeded players. If they participated in the next official race, they could directly enter the top 36.

“It has already begun and quite suddenly at that.” Li Yao seemed a bit overwhelmed. He felt rushed, both in reality and in the game.

The Queen frowned, “What, not confident?”

“Ahem…” Li Yao tried to keep calm and replied, “How could that be? I was just wondering what reward you will give me.”

“Rest assured, if you win the first place in the team race, I will give you the clue to becoming a chieftain and upgrade your military rank and administrative level. I am never stingy.” The Queen rarely patted Li Yao’s shoulder.

“Thanks, Queen.” Li Yao was overjoyed. Having the Queen on his side would make it a lot easier to manage this, and even if he didn’t have her, he had his methods.

The key was the clue to become a leader, and that was extremely important, representing a transformation in his journey.

“Well, this isn’t urgent. I have another small request.” The Queen walked to the window. Before Li Yao could respond, she said, “As you know, the scale of this invasion from different dimensions is enormous. All these dimensions are small ones surrounding the Ancient Gods, not a problem individually, but their sheer numbers overwhelm us. Thats why we can only defend and have little ability to counterattack, much less scout.”

Li Yao nodded in understanding. The number of NPCs and monsters that entered the Ancient God World were too many. Although players from a single planetary shape were not too many, the problem was there were too many of them.

“Thankfully,” the Queen continued, “The Grand Chieftain consulted the Spirit of Elements and was informed that they do not come as one alliance. Otherwise, that would be a catastrophe. The largest dimensional portal near our city will soon pave the way for a primary city from another dimension. You have to go there, find out what’s going on, and better yet, cause some trouble for them.”…
