MMORPG: Martial Gamer Chapter 1003 - Awakening Quest

In addition to all the other rewards, the date today was designated as the Independence Day of Twilight City. There would be double experience points on this date every month.

These were all very regular rewards. The reward that the players looked forward to the most was that the players from Twilight City were all divided into several Neutral Factions.

Other than the privilege for the right to be independent from the Light and Darkness camps, the Neutral Faction had access to an independent faction exchange system. It was now not necessary for players from Twilight City to fight with other players for items through the faction exchange system. Furthermore, there were no restrictions on the Neutral Faction members in entering any other faction’s cities

Of course, the Neutral Faction was not without its downsides. The faction was excluded from battlefield quests, war quests and other war-related activities…

Everything has its pros and cons.

As the City Lord of Twilight City, w.a.n.g Yu was ent.i.tled to a greater share of the spoils of victory. Other than the large increase in prestige and honor, w.a.n.g Yu also received a City Lord’s token as well as a scepter.

City Lord Token: A precious artifact that allows the user to be free to enter and exit most Neutral grounds without being targeted.

The Neutral Faction was flushed with countless experts. Places like Dragon Island, Elven Ancient Tree and t.i.tan City were locations were forbidden to ordinary players. With this token, it granted w.a.n.g Yu the same level of authority as those City Lords.

City Lord Scepter (Scepter) (Special)

The King’s Command: Within a range of 1000 units, all units will receive a 50% attribute bonus.

Carrying this item is sufficient to trigger the item effect.

Item Introduction: Only the King can control this power.

The halo effect of this Scepter was quite valuable and it did not take up an equipment slot. However, for a player like w.a.n.g Yu who was used to fighting solo, this Scepter was not super important to him. It was just another nice item to have in case he might need it one day.

The next step was to split… Oh right, it was to split the money.

The total spoils of gold coins was 100 million, and 15 million was already given to Evil Rampage for their efforts. There was still 85 million left…

After a round of discussion, everyone decided to split the money and take out fifty million for the players who contributed to the victory.

Just as the Twilight City members were still basking in their victory, w.a.n.g Yu issued an announcement by his City Lord authority, “Since the attack on the city has concluded, in view of everyone’s hard work, the Quan Zhen Sect has decided to reward all those who have contributed. To these players, please head over to the City Lord Mansion to receive a red packet.

“A red packet?” After their near brush with death, these players were already satisfied at the fact that they could stay alive. However, they not only received countless system rewards but now the Quan Zhen Sect was even rewarding them out of their own pockets. It was a truly blissful time to be a citizen of Twilight City.

With the help of the system, it was easy to identify who were the ones that defended the city because they had the additional t.i.tle of “Independent”.

Just like collecting fragments at the start, the Quan Zhen Sect members were out in full force… They were handing out the red packets in a systematic fas.h.i.+on.

“Fearless, you dumb a.s.s, why not we simply pa.s.s the gold coins over to their respective guild leaders? Why do we have to personally hand it out to everyone?” Ming Du was feeling uncomfortable at the fact that he was giving away all the gold coins in his arms.

“What do you know!” Fearless retorted, “Let the guild leader hand it out? We have to remind them who they owe a favor too. How could we let these good feelings be a.s.sociated with anyone other than ourselves…”

“This…” Ming Du was speechless.

Indeed, if these gold coins were dispersed to their guild leaders, there was no way of knowing if these leaders would distribute them equitably.

Since the money was spent, surely they had to show something for it…

…

Upon hearing that Twilight City had achieved victory, the players from Twilight that did not partic.i.p.ate logged back into the game to see what the commotion was all about. When they saw the “Independent” t.i.tle and the generous red packet that the other players received… their hearts were filled with regret.

The work after the victory lasted late into the night…Read more chapter on our vipnovel.com

Evil Rampage patted Fearless on the shoulder and asked with a pleading att.i.tude, “Brother Fearless, do you want to fight alongside me? I will offer you a high salary for it.”

Fearless quickly waved the question away, “Money is indeed a good thing… Although I am not rich, I have sufficient to do the things that I want to do.”

“Ah, what does that mean?” Evil Rampage was struggling to read in between the lines.

“What does he mean!” w.a.n.g Yu continued, “Our friend Fearless does not lack money, scram!”

“What a pity…” Evil Rampage shook his head dejectedly.

Although the players from Quan Zhen Sect were attracted to money, they would definitely not exchange their freedom for it. Living freely was still the most important goal for them.

After one full day of hard work, the notorious and infamous reputation of Quan Zhen Sect in the minds of Twilight City players slowly turned into something more positive.

From a rampaging, lawless bunch of people to a guild that symbolises the values of strength and loyalty. The players had a 180-degree change in perspective with regards to Quan Zhen Sect. w.a.n.g Yu as the City Lord was even more revered into a deity status.

The tiredness caught up to everyone and one by one they logged off from the game.

On the next day, Twilight City finally returned to calm and serenity. Nothing else had changed other than that the legend of the Quan Zhen Sect was born.

After going online, w.a.n.g Yu headed straight for the alleyway where players would take up missions that required level 50.

According to the game lore, the 50th level was the threshold for players to transit from an ordinary mortal to the peak of their profession. Only through constant training would one be able to achieve an awakening, in the process, stimulating the unlimited latent potential of the body.

Most people termed this process as Threshold Awakening.

After Threshold Awakening, the player completes this process, they will have a significant increase in the power of their attributes and skills. More importantly, they will be able to comprehend several exclusive Awakening skills.

This aspect of the game was different compared to the internal testing of the game. Previously, [Shadow Chain Kick] and [Ferocious Dragon s.p.a.ce Snapping Slash] were considered exclusive awakening skills. However, after the ma.s.sive influx of players after the beta, this new Threshold Awakening mechanism was created. The skills each player would comprehend would be determined by their awakening evaluation.

This awakening evaluation would also be determined by rank from F to S.

It was not impossible to awaken and comprehend a low-level fireball skill.

Even if it was a fireball skill, it would still be an awakening skill so it possessed considerable power… It was a skill that the system deemed most appropriate for that player after all.

Thus, this new awakening mechanism provided greater flexibility to a player’s development, although there was a small luck element to it.

…

In the alley, w.a.n.g Yu had awakened and he received his first awakening quest.
