The rewards began to be announced without much waiting.
All players who participated in defending the city received the same message.
[Guardian of Qingchuan City] Contribution points settlement, rankings are as follows:
First Place: Yang Jian Qing Ming Contribution Ratio: 97.14%
Second Place: Zhan Shen Ba Dao Contribution Ratio: 1.5%
Third Place: Bo Si Mao Contribution Ratio: 1.2%
Fourth Place: Cai Ji Da Shi Contribution Ratio: 0.05%
Tenth Place: Huang Zu Rong Yao Contribution Ratio: 0.01%
Although this result was not surprising.
It still made the players exclaim in amazement.
On weekdays, they all boasted loudly, but at the critical moment, it became clear who was truly capable.
Yang Jian Qing Ming was practically defending the city single-handedly against the monsters; he was truly monstrous.
What Master Luo, what Sister Wushuang, they were all trash!
Seeing Cai Ji Da Shi on the list, did the faces of the experts hurt?
Cai Ji Da Shi: Are you being polite?
The players whose names were called were all ashamed.
The proud Master Luo couldn't even lift his head.
Huang Zu Rong Yao never expected that his tentative few attacks would even make it onto the leaderboard.
Striking first truly proved to be a sound strategy.
Although it was at the bottom of the list, he had become famous.
Dong Huang Jian sighed.
He had originally thought that this city defense event would be a good opportunity for him to perform and gain fame.
He never expected that he wouldn't even get a chance to make a move.
It seemed his mission to surpass others would have to be postponed.
Lin Feng's teammates were naturally overjoyed.
And the rewards did not disappoint them.
Zhan Shen Ao Tian, who ranked fourth and fifth in contribution points, both received 50,000 cultivation points and 5 taels of gold.
The cultivation points were whatever.
While for other players, it was a huge gain.
But for them, who had followed Lin Feng through dungeons and witnessed a Boss yielding millions of cultivation points.
These rewards were better than nothing.
5 taels of gold, when sold, were worth a solid 50,000 Huaxia coins.
Cai Ji Da Shi's eyes turned red.
He had finally earned money in the game.
His sister's illness seemed not so unattainable anymore.
Anyone who said life players were useless would get a resounding slap from him!
The rewards for the top three were even more generous.
The cultivation points became 100,000.
And the money became 10 taels of gold.
Zhan Shen Ba Dao and Bo Si Mao were also quite satisfied.
After all, they had gained such rewards with just a few moves.
They had also followed the great expert Yang Jian and gained many free attribute points.
They had made a fortune!
The others could only receive the standard rewards due to their lower contribution ratios.
Lin Feng received a separate notification.
"Given your substantial contribution ratio, you have the opportunity to make a choice.
You may choose to receive 6.78 million cultivation points, 1.12 million gold, and the level 20 legendary accessory, Ring of Glory.
Or, all rewards can be converted into Legend Points."
Legend Points?
A small city defense event could yield such rewards?
Lin Feng never expected to receive such an unexpected surprise.
Although the cultivation points, gold, and treasures were all tempting.
Compared to Legend Points, they were worthless.
These were honors earned from triggering major events that pushed the game's progression, or defeating special Bosses that affected the game's narrative.
The conditions for obtaining them were so strict that their effects were naturally not simple.
Achieving the impossible could grant players privileges that were otherwise unattainable.
For example, influencing NPCs' attitudes towards oneself.
For example, receiving better rewards when completing quests.
And also...
Breaching basic access permissions for certain maps and dungeons.
This item was something Lin Feng was determined to get!
"Convert it all to Legend Points!"
"Based on your contribution points in this city defense event, you have earned 11 Legend Points."
Only this much?
Lin Feng felt a pang of regret.
What could this even do?
He wished he could shout out.
"Can't you exchange it for a level 20 legendary accessory?"
In the system panel.
He saw the Legend Points option and accessed it with his mind.
"Detected that your Legend Points exceed 10, you can activate the first privilege."
"Detected that you are the first player to reach 10 points, you can freely choose one privilege."
Lin Feng's lips curved.
This was more like it.
10 points, though few, were usable.
What should he choose?
He looked at the options provided.
"System NPC favorability increased by 50%."
"Cultivation bonus increased by 100%."
"Drop rate bonus increased by 50%."
"Luck value bonus increased by 10%."
"Spell power bonus increased by 10%."
He browsed them quickly.
Each of these options, if available in the outside world, would be something every player would fight tooth and nail for.
Any one of them could make a player more powerful.
But for Lin Feng, none of these were irreplaceable.
It wasn't until he saw "Map Level Entry Permission" that his eyes lit up.
"This is it!"
After making his selection, he finally saw the full details of this privilege.
[Map Level Entry Permission]
Level: 1
Description: Allows a reduction of any map's entry level by 30 levels. The cultivation bonus for level-surpassing is unaffected.
This privilege, though simple, was extremely useful.
While Lin Feng chose not to level up, he would enjoy the significant boost from the level-surpassing cultivation bonus against any monster.
However, at the same time.
He was also subject to certain map entry level restrictions.
It was like how, after defeating the authorized Boss, players in Qingchuan City could go to other cities.
But many cities had entry levels of 20 or even higher.
If his level was insufficient, he couldn't even enter.
If he were to remain at level 0.
It would mean that apart from Qingchuan City, he could go nowhere else.
Lin Feng had been worrying about how to solve this problem.
He never expected that.
A city defense event would perfectly resolve it.
And this was only a level 1 privilege, which could already reduce the entry level by 30.
When he completed more significant in-game tasks and accumulated more Legend Points.
And if he were to level up this privilege.
Even if Lin Feng remained at level 0, there would probably be no place in the entire game that he couldn't go.
This privilege made Lin Feng feel that his efforts in the city defense were not in vain.
He thought the system's rewards were over.
Unexpectedly.
"All players who participated in defending the city will receive the exclusive title [Guardian of Qingchuan City]."
"The player with the highest contribution will receive the exclusive title [God of Qingchuan City]."
This caused a commotion among the players.
The members of Xia Yi Wu Shuang jumped for joy.
This was because the attributes of this title far exceeded their expectations.
[Guardian of Qingchuan City]
Type: Title

In areas outside of Qingchuan City, you will gain a 5% all-attribute bonus.
Xia Yi Shi Shen looked at Lin Feng's figure, and there was no longer any resentment or dissatisfaction.
Only deep gratitude.
If it weren't for their decision to abandon darkness and embrace light, and their decisive belief in Yang Jian Qing Ming's strength to participate in the city defense.
With their strength, how could they possibly obtain such good items?
Great expert Yang Jian, yyds!
At this moment, even the most arrogant players had to admit inwardly that they had benefited from Lin Feng.
If other players were like this, Lin Feng's rewards would naturally be even better.
[God of Qingchuan City]
Type: Title

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.
"Awesome!"
But the surprises were still ongoing.
"All players who participated in this city defense will receive the temporary effect [Light of Qingchuan]."
This time, some players had already posted this buff on the world channel.
[Light of Qingchuan]
Effect: In areas outside of Qingchuan City, you will gain the following benefits: 100% cultivation bonus, 50% gold drop rate bonus, 50% gathering proficiency bonus, 20% item drop rate bonus.
Duration: 72 hours.
This time, other players completely exploded.
