Chapter 1 The Beginning

Ye Xiu quickly logged into the game as well. After sleeping last night, he hadn't done his daily dungeons. Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist was the same, and when he asked Tang Rou, it was the same for her. However, Thousand Creations and Marshall Ma weren't online at this time.

Their less than one hundred players still had the level lead, and there were no PUGs in the Dark Forest. If they wanted to make a five-person team, they could only rely on the players from other guilds. It was almost New Year's, a very special time, and each major guild would have different arrangements depending on the people involved. Ye Xiu glanced around, and several guild leaders from the tenth server were online. He sent messages to each of them, but some said they were out of dungeon attempts, while others said they had just the right number of people.

But this didn't stump Ye Xiu. If there was no one, then three people would do. With his skill and strength, Ye Xiu was absolutely confident in killing any five-person dungeon with three people, it was just that the efficiency wouldn't be too satisfactory.

In these extraordinary times, there weren't many requirements. It was just that this kind of technically difficult job was Chen Guo's first time participating, and she was using Su Mucheng's character. If she accidentally got Su Mucheng killed, Chen Guo would feel terrible. Feeling nervous, Chen Guo steeled herself and entered the dungeon, but her movements were obviously stiff, her thinking was often a beat slow, and she made mistake after mistake. Thanks to Ye Xiu's frequent saves, she was able to hold on.

Fortunately, Chen Guo was sitting next to Ye Xiu, who constantly gave her pointers, and she gradually returned to normal. Then she realized that it wasn't as scary as she thought!

Chen Guo was also a seasoned player, so she quickly realized that it wasn't scary because most of the difficulty had been shouldered by Ye Xiu, and then Tang Rou had taken a lot of it too, so what she ended up with wasn't dangerous at all.

However, three people doing dungeons was slow after all. After three runs, it was almost noon. The Spring Festival event started precisely at 12 noon. Tang Rou had already seized the time to go eat, and Ye Xiu and Chen Guo also ordered takeout nearby.

"What are we eating tonight?" Ye Xiu asked Chen Guo while eating the takeout.

Today was New Year's Eve after all, and the dinner that night, known as the New Year's Eve dinner, would be really miserable if they ate fast food like this.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements," Chen Guo said.

"Oh?" Ye Xiu said.

"We're eating out. I've made a reservation," Chen Guo said.

"Is it convenient? I mean, what if there are Glory fans, like you?" Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo glared at Ye Xiu first, and then said, "I booked a private room, so we shouldn't be disturbed."

"Well, you did a good job with this," Ye Xiu affirmed Chen Guo. Chen Guo rolled her eyes and didn't say anything. Of course, Ye Xiu wouldn't expose himself, mainly because he was worried about Su Mucheng. Chen Guo couldn't care less about things related to Su Mucheng? Of course, she had already thought of everything.

"The event is coming up soon, what do you think of it?" Chen Guo asked.

"From the content that's been announced, I haven't found any loopholes to exploit. Everyone can only follow the rules and rely on their luck and skill," Ye Xiu said.

"So you're saying it's impossible for something like the Christmas event you guys caused to happen again?" Chen Guo said.

"Impossible," Ye Xiu shook his head definitively.

"Then how many levels do you estimate you can reach after this event is over?"

"Do you think I'm a god? Many of the specifics will only be known after doing the missions for a while. Now I'm just looking at the mission flow, how would I know so much?" Ye Xiu said.

"When you reach level 50, you'll start the challenge of the Divine Domain, right?" Chen Guo said.

"Of course, otherwise I can't level up," Ye Xiu said.

"Is it difficult?" Chen Guo asked.

"No, it's just killing time," Ye Xiu said.

When Ye Xiu first said that he would complete the challenge of the Divine Domain at level 50, Chen Guo once thought he was crazy. But now, hearing Ye Xiu's relaxed answer, she accepted it calmly. Given the strength of this top-tier god, Chen Guo didn't think this statement was excessive.

The challenge missions in the Divine Domain mainly consist of two parts.

One part is in the arena, which requires players to reach a certain number of wins. And this win requirement also has a requirement, which is that the opponents faced cannot be lower than their own level. This is a bit awkward for Ye Xiu right now, because his level is too high. He is in the first group in the tenth server. When he reaches level 50, there won't be many people at the same level, and there probably won't be anyone higher level. And these people are undoubtedly the elite experts of the major guilds. Most of them are old players who already have accounts in the Divine Domain. For the new server accounts, their first thing to do is to level up quickly and grab dungeon records. The arena is an entertainment that takes up time. These people probably won't even go there.

In this way, Ye Xiu would be like a skilled woman who can't cook without rice. He can get so many wins, there is no suspense, but the problem is that there are no opponents to give him points, so what can Ye Xiu do? Find the same opponent to farm? Sorry, the Glory system had already thought of this. After winning against the same opponent ten times, winning again will not be counted in the mission statistics.

The official has always announced the Divine Domain as a brand new world, so this Divine Domain challenge mission tries very hard to avoid all kinds of opportunistic methods. Players, in addition to relying on their real strength, the only available cheating method is like Chen Guo, who is helped by others to complete the task. The game party really has no way to solve this gunman problem.

In addition to the arena, there is the task content and process of the Divine Domain. These tasks also test the player's technical strength. Even some tasks that involve item drops require meeting the requirements of the task, such as completing a certain number of combos above a certain number of hits ten or eight times. These are all hard and fast rules without any conditions, and no one can rely on luck to directly explode the required items.

For this kind of test of technical operation, Ye Xiu would naturally not have any problems. Ye Xiu's problem, on the other hand, was in killing monsters. Since the Divine Domain missions have always increased in difficulty with the highest level cap, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, a level 50 character, would face level 70 mission characters, and the level suppression would create many exaggerated gaps. In this way, every battle Ye Xiu faces will actually be quite difficult. Ye Xiu doesn't even need to consider those that require ten or eight combos, because the length of the battle required for him to defeat this target gives him plenty of time to hit combos. What he really needs to consider is his own combat endurance.

This is not only about the consumption of the character's health and mana, but also about Ye Xiu himself, whether he can maintain accuracy in a long-term battle that requires a high degree of concentration.

Even if Ye Xiu could overcome these, it would not change the problem of the battle being long. That's why Ye Xiu said that for him, this is a task to kill time.

"I hope it goes smoothly by then…" Chen Guo shuddered just thinking about it. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, seemed to be lost in thought.

After 12 o'clock, the mission started on time. Ye Xiu, Chen Guo, and Tang Rou all returned to the game at this time. Ye Xiu looked at his friends list, and even just looking at the friends list during the New Year, he knew that there were indeed fewer people. For example, to Ye Xiu's relief, Steamed Bun Invasion was always there!

Last time, Steamed Bun Invasion missed the Christmas mission, and the large drop in level had always made Ye Xiu feel sorry. He even asked for Steamed Bun Invasion's phone number to avoid this tragedy from happening again. And this time, Steamed Bun Invasion was also quite aware and was online early in the morning, and was also starting the mission without falling behind.

After Ye Xiu smoothly ran a few times according to the mission process, he had some understanding of the gold content of the mission. There was no doubt that this year's Spring Festival mission was as powerful as previous Spring Festivals. The experience gain alone was far stronger than ordinary leveling, not to mention the extremely high probability of obtaining various good things in the mission.

However, Ye Xiu was still disappointed that he did not find any loopholes to exploit. It was obviously impossible to gain more benefits than others on this mission by exploiting loopholes.

When the mission first came out, the players' enthusiasm was undoubtedly very high. Looking at the friends list, there were obviously not many people, but the process of running the mission gave Ye Xiu the illusion that there were people all over the world. And the screen-swiping TV announcements would definitely make any player who missed the Spring Festival mission beat their chests and stomp their feet.

The most obvious proof is that even Chen Guo, a brainless fan who played the role of her idol, was a little tempted after seeing the various gorgeous rewards. She really wanted to drop her idol's role and open her Chasing Haze to闯 (chuǎng - charge) around the Divine Domain.

Chen Guo's entanglement didn't last long. About an hour after the mission started, Su Mucheng woke up and came downstairs. She took over the role, and Chen Guo immediately ran to diligently log on her Chasing Haze, and fought hard in the Divine Domain with renewed spirit.

"How do you run the mission?" As soon as Su Mucheng came up, she revealed that she had not read the mission introduction.

Under Ye Xiu's step-by-step guidance, Su Mucheng also quickly completed a round. Although there were battles in the process, for professional players, the combat difficulty of these popular missions could not be put on the stage.

"Isn't it very interesting!" Su Mucheng commented after finishing a round.

"Well, the rewards are okay," Ye Xiu said.

"It's been like this every year," Su Mucheng said with emotion, and continued her second round.

These two were professional masters who had seen the world, and no rewards could surprise them to the point of losing their color. Chen Guo was next to these two people, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

How many times did she want to shout for the rewards that the two had obtained, but when she saw the two calm and quiet appearances, Chen Guo made herself look surprised.

"Actually, the biggest benefit of the Spring Festival mission is that it is not easy to have any conflicts," Ye Xiu suddenly said.

"That's true, it fits the occasion! It's New Year's, no one wants to be unhappy! Harmony is very important for Spring Festival activities!" Su Mucheng said.
