Chapter 209 The End of the Natural Disaster
......
"Boom!"
The last elite Bone Raider hopping around outside Silverpine Town was blasted into bone fragments by an Arcane Missiles fired casually by Lin Tian.
The whole world seemed to have had its speakers suddenly turned off; the deafening shouts of battle, the howls of the undead, and the explosions of skills that had been happening just moments before all disappeared.
silence.
Silence as death.
The surviving players, regardless of which city they came from, stood blankly on the ravaged battlefield, hardly believing their eyes.
After fighting for so long, suddenly there are no more monsters to fight? Is it over?
Lin Tian hovered in mid-air, patted off non-existent dust from the [Myriad Manifestations Law Robe], and muttered to himself, "All done, that's it. Not bad efficiency."
Before anyone could react, that familiar yet chilling system notification sound, like an alarm clock, exploded in everyone's head right on time:
[Server-wide Announcement: Congratulations! Thanks to the combined efforts of all players, all level 3 main cities in the 9527 New Player Continent have successfully withstood the third and final wave of the Undead Scourge!]
[Given the exceptional performance of some players in the defense, which significantly influenced the course of the battle, the overall evaluation of this event has been greatly improved! The final rewards for all players who participated in the defense will be increased by 30% from the base value!]
[Rewards settlement begins now!]
"Buzz—!"
The announcement had barely been made when strange phenomena began!
Countless beams of light, of varying thickness and color, shone precisely down from the clouds like spotlights on a special stage, enveloping every surviving player on the battlefield!
"Holy crap! What the hell?"
"It's so warm and cozy...so comfortable!"
"It's experience! A vast amount of experience!"
The players enveloped by the beam of light immediately felt a massive yet gentle surge of energy rushing into their bodies! The feeling was even better than drinking an ice-cold cola on a sweltering summer day!
Then,
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The upgraded golden light, with an unprecedented density, shot up one after another into the sky in every corner of the battlefield!
The scene was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year!
"Hahaha! I leveled up three times in a row! I'm level 25 now!"
"I leveled up too! And I even got a blue-tier item!"
"Awesome! That's fucking awesome! Not only did we make up for the levels we lost, we even surpassed them!"
"This was a huge profit! A sure thing!"
Especially those players who had died several times before and thought they had lost a lot of money, were so excited when they saw their level rise instead of fall and the extra gold coins in their inventory that they almost jumped up on the spot.
All the previous sacrifices and fears seem worthwhile in the face of this generous reward.
Besides the experience and the golden light, there was also the crisp and pleasant "clinking" sound of coins going into pockets that rang in everyone's ears.
A large amount of gold coins automatically filled the player's inventory based on their individual contributions.
For ordinary players, this is definitely a huge sum of money; they can buy new equipment and potions and live a carefree life for quite some time.
"Tsk, leveling up from level 46 onwards is fucking tough," Lin Tian glanced at his experience bar. He'd already reached level 50 while killing undead in the various main cities, and with the rewards, his experience had jumped a lot, but he was still quite a distance from level 51.
"However, the amount of experience points awarded this time is really generous."
He glanced at the number of gold coins in his backpack that had surged again. He was too lazy to count the exact amount, but it was definitely an astronomical number that would make guild leaders like Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei green with envy.
The reward distribution lasted for about a minute before the beam of light slowly dissipated.
The players were still immersed in the immense joy of their increased strength and overnight riches, showing off and celebrating to each other, completely different from their miserable escape from death just moments before.
But the system's prompts weren't over yet:
[Server-wide Announcement: The Undead Scourge Contribution Ranking and Exclusive Exchange Shop have been updated and are now open!]
The contribution ranking will be based on each player's overall performance during the third wave of attacks (number of kills, damage to elites/bosses, healing output, support effects, etc.).
Players can use their earned "contribution points" to purchase special items, equipment, skill books, and more in the exchange shop.
The contribution rankings and exchange shop will remain in place until the Scourge event is completely over.
Almost the instant the announcement was made, everyone acted like hungry wolves seeing meat, eagerly opening the newly appeared [Undead Catastrophe] interface and directly clicking on the glittering [Contribution Ranking]!
At the top of the list, a name reigns supreme with an overwhelming advantage; the contribution value figure behind it is dizzyingly long, leaving the second-place player far behind.
1st Place: Lin Tian (Luoxia City) - Contribution Points: 170,458,921
(One hundred and seventy million, four hundred and fifty-eight thousand nine hundred and twenty-one!)
Despite being mentally prepared, when the astronomical figure was actually right in front of them, all the players couldn't help but gasp and feel their back teeth go cold.
"One hundred and seventy million?! Let me look at mine... Holy crap, I only have five thousand three!"
"How many undead must have been killed? Even destroying the undead's lair wouldn't have been this bad!"
"A landslide victory! This is a fucking precipitous leap to number one! Lin Tian is awesome! (voice cracks)"
"I'm impressed, completely impressed! With that many contribution points, he could probably empty the entire exchange shop, right?"
Below Lin Tian's abnormally high and despair-inducing contribution points, the second to tenth ranked players, although their values were far lower than Lin Tian's,
But it also leaves ordinary players far behind, clearly marking the top small group of people on the mainland:
2nd Place: Ye Yao (Yunxi City) - Contribution Points: 4,125,400
3rd Place: Chen Shan (Shixia City) - Contribution Points: 3,987,100
4th Place: Emily White (Maya City) - Contribution Points: 3,856,300
5th Place: Raj Kumar (Cairo) - Contribution Points: 3,781,650
6th Place: Arjun Mishra (Cairo) - Contribution Points: 3,245,110
......
This list practically represents the top combat power of the newbie continent, number 9527, during the third wave of the Undead Scourge!
Lin Tian stood out from the crowd, far ahead of everyone else.
Below are Ye Yao, Chen Shan, Emily, and Raj, the four SSS-level talents.
Each person's contribution value clearly reflects their contribution and strength on their respective battlefield.
"These SSS-level talents are ridiculously powerful! They each have over four million contribution points!"
"Goddess Ye Yao! The Dark Queen of Yunxi City!"
"President Chen Shan is too tough! No wonder he's called the 'Indestructible Barrier'!"
"Look! President Zhang Tianya and President Li Weiwei are on the list too! Our Luoxia City is awesome!"
"As expected, whether there are expert players or not makes all the difference..."
Players were abuzz with discussion, expressing their sincere admiration for the top performers on the leaderboard, while also gaining a deeper understanding that in the face of absolute strength, numbers sometimes mean nothing.
Immediately afterwards, with excitement and curiosity, the players opened the [Exchange Shop] with slightly trembling hands.
Players across the entire continent were caught up in a frenzy of "shopping".
Everyone was calculating, trying to use their limited contribution points to exchange for the items that would best enhance their strength, just like a shopping spree on Singles' Day.
Lin Tian also glanced at the store list.
"Hmm, SSS-grade items have indeed appeared." His gaze swept past the SS-grade icons.
Finally, a genuine smile of "reward" appeared on his lips.
"It was worth all the time I spent traveling to so many places."
