Chapter 167 Undead Cataclysm Triggered 2
This talent gave him a huge advantage in the early game. He could enter many hidden areas and treasure chambers that other players couldn't access as if they were his own, gaining a lot of resources and advantages. His level also quietly increased to 22, far exceeding the average.
He originally thought that the [Bullet of Rest] was just a higher-level hidden map entrance, planning to go through it, make a quick buck, and leave. Little did he expect... this time he'd messed things up.
"I...I didn't mean to..."
Zhao Hao looked at the title description and felt like crying.
300% Undead Hatred?
If you go out wearing this title, won't you get focused down and turned to ashes by the undead?
"This is it, I'm now the enemy of the entire server..."
He frantically tried to hide his ID and title, but the aftershocks of the world announcement were still reverberating.
Countless people have already started frantically asking in the channel who this "unknown force" is.
Soon, news leaked from an unknown source, perhaps from a player who happened to witness him disappearing before the mountain wall (barrier node).
Perhaps it was a deliberate or unintentional hint from the system, but the ID 【Zhao Hao】 began to circulate in a small circle, and then spread like a virus to chat channels across the entire continent!
"Found him! It's that bastard Zhao Hao!"
Player A: "Zhao Hao! Get the hell out here! Are you fucking crazy? Why the hell did you go and destroy the barrier?"
Player B: "Zhao Hao, you son of a bitch! If I lose the shop I just bought, I'll hunt you down until I quit the game!"
Player C: "Zhao Hao, you scoundrel! Are you in Luoxia City? Any man standing here, step forward!"
Player D: "Brothers of Yunxi City, beat Zhao Hao to a pulp when you see him! This kind of black sheep doesn't deserve to play the game!"
Player E: "@Zhao Hao, stop playing dead! Come out and tell us what you're up to. Are you a spy sent from abroad to deliberately ruin our server?"
Player F: "Any pros want to team up and kill him back to level zero? Count me in!"
Player G: "Killing him back to level zero is too easy on him! Capture him, camp him at the respawn point, and kill him every day!"
Player H: "Wait, guys, don't panic. What if he has a reason? Or is this a necessary step to unlock a hidden quest chain?"
Player I: "Hidden quest chain my ass! The announcement clearly stated it's 'sabotage'! He's just a selfish idiot! For his own little gain, he drags the entire server down with him!"
A torrent of insults, curses, and threats surged toward Zhao Hao.
His private messaging channel exploded instantly, with friend requests (most of them insults) piling up like a mountain.
He was so frightened that he immediately shut down all non-friend communication, hid in a corner, trembling, and didn't even dare to go out.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian in Thunder Canyon had just finished processing this earth-shattering announcement.
"The Scourge of the Undead? Triggered ahead of schedule?"
Lin Tian frowned slightly and stopped the spell he was casting.
He wasn't panicked like the average player. With his current strength, the level 20-30 undead tide wasn't much of a threat to him; instead, it brought him a massive amount of experience and upgrade points.
"The Barrier of Rest...it seems someone has touched something they shouldn't have." He said thoughtfully.
There are always some lucky ones (or unlucky ones) who will accidentally trigger world events.
He casually opened the regional channel, looked at the endless stream of criticisms against "Zhao Hao," and shook his head.
"Scolding won't solve the problem."
Lin Tian turned off the channel and said to Celia and Xiaobai,
"Three days is an opportunity for us."
"Brother Tian, what do you mean?"
Celia's purple eyes flickered; she didn't feel panicked, but rather somewhat eager to try.
Now that her strength has been restored, she needs a major battle to prove her power.
"The Scourge of the Dead means an endless stream of monsters."
A glint of light flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.
"This means we no longer need to painstakingly search for monsters to grind. The siege battle will be the perfect stage for us to quickly accumulate upgrade points, Dominator Power, and experience!"
He glanced at his level: level 29, just one step away from level 30.
They will definitely gain a huge boost in the upcoming siege battle.
"However, we can't be careless," Lin Tian added.
"Since this is a version update event, there will probably be more than just ordinary monsters. There will inevitably be powerful boss-level undead appearing, and there may even be unforeseen changes. We need to be fully prepared in the next three days."
He quickly made plans:
Leveling up: Make the most of the last three days to try and level up yourself and your pet by 1-2 levels.
Stockpile supplies: Purchase large quantities of high-level mana potions, healing potions, and any special scrolls that may be needed (such as area-of-effect scrolls, defensive fortification scrolls, etc.).
Intelligence gathering: Have your guilds keep an eye out for more detailed information about undead units and boss skills.
Skill Integration: Practice more in-depth teamwork with Celia and Shiro, especially Celia's newly unlocked powerful control and burst skills.
"Let's go back to the city," Lin Tian decided.
"Let's leave the monsters in Thunder Canyon to those who need to level up more. We need to be fully prepared for the big battle in three days."
He glanced at the still incredibly noisy chat channel, where the name [Zhao Hao], which was cursed by countless people, was still scrolling and refreshing the screen.
"I wonder where this guy is hiding now..." Lin Tian felt little sympathy; everyone has to be responsible for their own actions.
This Zhao Hao may possess rare talent, but his lack of respect and caution towards power led to a disaster that affected the entire server, and he deserves the infamy he has earned.
What he's more concerned with now is how to seize the greatest benefit for himself and those around him in this impending "natural disaster"!
The undead scourge is a disaster for most players, but for Lin Tian, it is the prelude to a feast!
......
In Luoxia City, a private room on the second floor of a tavern near the city lord's mansion.
Zhang Tianya gulped down a glass of ale, slamming the glass down on the wooden table with a dull thud. His face was filled with obvious frustration.
"I...I've had the worst luck imaginable!"
He was speaking to Lin Tian, who was sitting opposite him, and his spittle was practically flying out.
"The location is chosen! It's that hillside in the west of the city, nestled against the mountains and overlooking the water. The scenery is beautiful, and it's easy to defend and difficult to attack. We've even finished bribing the NPC management! We're just waiting for the monsters to come and make a show of attacking the city, and then we'll plant our guild's flag there!"
He grew angrier as he spoke, his fists clenching so tightly they cracked.
"And the result? A damn undead calamity!!"
Lin Tian slowly sipped his juice, finding Zhang Tianya's frantic state somewhat amusing, and could understand his frustration.
After investing a lot of manpower and resources in screening addresses and building connections, and just when things were about to get going, this unforeseen event abruptly interrupted everything. Anyone would be furious.
