The game "Myth" was never just a simple game; anything could happen within it. It was a development-oriented game where anyone with enough skill and luck could rise against the odds.
The guild leaders of the three major guilds were furious. The attitude of the game operators was extremely firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Very well, then the three of us, along with our members and the members of our affiliated guilds, will go to other games. No matter how powerful your Myth is, without us high-level players, you're just trash!"
To their surprise, the game operators were not intimidated at all.
"You three guild leaders should think carefully. From today onwards, aside from casual mini-games, there will be no other virtual online games on the market!"
"What???" The three were shocked. Their confidence stemmed from the fact that "Myth" was not the only dominant force in the market; a dominant player in the online gaming world was a certainty.
"Impossible. Even if 'Myth' is currently popular, it shouldn't lead to the closure of other games!"
"Guild leaders, you can check for yourselves. As I said, anything is possible. In this world, where is there absolute fairness? As for you three guild leaders, what fairness have you shown to ordinary players?"
After the senior management of the game operators departed, the three guild leaders were left to ponder.
Subsequently, they checked the information of other online games and, as the person had said, they were indeed being indefinitely shut down.
Tian Qi Dynasty Guild Leader: "What a grand gesture!"
Moon Palace Guild Leader: "Indeed, it's quite surprising. However, I think I understand something from that person's words."
Liuli Gate Guild Leader: "What? An opportunity?"
Moon Palace Guild Leader: "Exactly. 'Myth' feels too real to me. Compared to other virtual online games, doesn't this game feel overly realistic to you?"
Tian Qi Dynasty Guild Leader: "I have that feeling too. The technology is truly remarkable."
Liuli Gate Guild Leader: "It's high technology after all. If what he said is true, then this game cannot be seen as a simple game anymore."
Moon Palace Guild Leader: "That's right. The reason why Beginner Village No. 88 makes us jealous is because of that village chief. This implies that there must be similar NPCs in other places, so heading to the main city to level up is definitely the right move!"
The other two nodded in agreement. If the operators hadn't enlightened them, they would have continued to treat this game as an ordinary one. Now, it seemed more like a genuine adventure.
Perhaps due to sleeping too late last night, Dou Youyou was still fast asleep.
Her diligent elder sister, Dou Junwan, had already woken up and was striving hard in the game.
When Dou Junwan logged off to have some breakfast, she discovered that her sister Dou Youyou was still asleep.
"Youyou, Youyou, wake up quickly! Your beginner village starts its beast tide at 9 o'clock, why are you still sleeping!"
Dou Youyou, who was being jostled, frowned and then burrowed deeper into her blanket.
"Sis, don't bother me, let me sleep a bit longer!"
Dou Junwan said irritably, "It's already 8:55, there are only 5 minutes until the beast tide begins. Are you really not going?"
"What??? Only 5 minutes left? Sis, why didn't you say so earlier! Master is going to be so angry. Where's my helmet? My helmet!"
"Here it is, here it is. Aren't you going to eat something? The beast tide lasts until 11 o'clock!"
"Ah, that long? How do you know!"
"The entire forum knows about it. They're all bad-mouthing your beginner village. Hurry and eat something to fill your stomach."
Dou Youyou scrambled into the bathroom.
In the game, hundreds of people were gathered in the beginner village. Not a single player remained in the wilderness because the beast tide had begun, and system notifications were continuously flashing.
Zhang Pingfan: "Where did that little girl go? Why isn't she online yet."
Dou Youyou's current strength was unparalleled among the beginners, making her a significant player in their beginner village.
[Ding! System Notification: Beast Tide Outbreak. A total of 10 waves. One wave every 10 minutes. Victory is achieved by defeating all beasts. Current wave: First Wave.]
[Ding! System Notification: Beast Tide Outbreak. A total of 10 waves. One wave every 10 minutes. Victory is achieved by defeating all beasts. Current wave: First Wave.]
[Ding! System Notification: Beast Tide Outbreak. A total of 10 waves. One wave every 10 minutes. Victory is achieved by defeating all beasts. Current wave: First Wave.]
[Ding! System Notification: Mission Start. Your HP is forcibly restored to 100 points. Each attack will deduct 1 HP. Mission failed if HP reaches zero!]
"Damn it! What kind of nonsense is this!" Zhang Pingfan had intended to go out and help, but now it seemed he could only act if absolutely necessary. This was clearly an attempt to restrict him.
Instantly, a large number of monsters spawned around the beginner village. Most of them were low-level monsters, levels 1, 2, or 3. They were slowly approaching the beginner village's defensive structures.
Zhang Pingfan shouted, "The beast tide has begun! For the village, for the mission, for glory, charge!"
"Charge!!!"
The first wave of the beast tide was extremely simple. Hundreds of players defeated the approaching monsters in less than 5 minutes.
"Damn it, I thought the beast tide was supposed to be powerful. They were no match for us!"
"Not bad, not bad. I even got some white-grade equipment. I'll sell it to the shop to earn some money for potions!"
As all the players retreated back to the beginner village, the defensive structures set up the previous night had not sustained any damage. The first wave was a complete victory for the players!
Zhang Pingfan knew that the mission wouldn't be this easy if the difficulty was high. This was just an appetizer.
"The difficulty of the beast tide will increase with each wave, don't let your guard down!"
"Don't worry, village chief, it's all on us!"
"Village chief, you can rest assured. There will definitely be no accidents!"
On the forum, players were also live-streaming the situation. These players were known as battlefield reporters in the online gaming world.
"Damn, this beast tide is so easy to deal with."
"It's just an appetizer. The people in Beginner Village No. 88 definitely won't be able to hold on later!"
"There are still 9 more waves, don't celebrate too early!"
Many people wanted to witness this epic scene, as this was considered the first major battle in "Myth"!
After a few minutes of rest, the second wave also began.
Compared to the first wave, the difficulty of the second wave had increased significantly, but the players still dealt with it easily.
When the third wave began, Zhang Pingfan's prized disciple finally logged in.
"Master, I'm here!"
Zhang Pingfan directly flicked her on the head.
"Where were you, girl? You're showing up this late for such an important event!"
Dou Youyou clutched her head in pain.
"Master, I slept too late last night, and my bad sister didn't wake me up!"
"With your current stats, you're considered a major player in our village. Hurry up and join the fight!"
Dou Youyou: "But I'm a priest, I can only heal!"
Zhang Pingfan clenched his fist and said sternly, "Even if you just go up there to tank, that's fine. You can take a hit right now!"
Dou Youyou said pitifully, "Master, I'm a girl."
Zhang Pingfan kicked Dou Youyou out. She was late and still making excuses.
However, it had to be said, as a priest, she was more resilient on the battlefield than anyone else. Even monsters below level 5 couldn't break through Dou Youyou's defense.
"What the heck, who is this little girl? She's so tough!"
